Chapter 683 [The first round sweep, not to be missed]

During the break, the Clippers confirmed the 13-man playoff roster, and Steve Novak was excluded.

在杨瑞前世，诺瓦克巅峰的11-12赛季场均打18.9分钟，得到8.8分1.9篮板0.2助攻, 投篮命中率47.8%，三分命中率47.2%。作为身高208CM的大个子，巅峰1.9篮板，再也找不出比他更软的内线了。

Novak's three-point accuracy is accurate, his defense is close to the air, and he has always been a marginal person in the team. Yang Rui can't reuse him.Ike Diogu is a much better defensive player, he plays hard, and he can shoot from the open.

On the 17th, the Clippers playoffs opener in Los Angeles.

The Lakers' game time was different from the Clippers. They played a game in Dallas yesterday and lost a happy 24 points.

After the regular season, statistics show that the Clippers' home attendance has surpassed the Lakers for the first time in history.The team does not win, of course, has an impact on the attendance rate.

This Blazers team is slightly weaker in offense than Yang Rui's previous life. Without Batum, the small forward strengthened its defense after trading in Gerald Wallace, but could not break the Clippers' defense.

Matthews has played well this season. He is a 3D player and can't play hard against Korver. Aldridge and Griffin have exploded each other. Guarding Gay is good, and can't help the team too much on the offensive end.

The starting Blazers can only be initiated by veterans Andre Miller and Aldridge.

Roy relied on mental perseverance to play. After the operation, he became the sixth man with a substitute. Yang Rui also targeted him and let Tony Allen take the lead.

罗伊打了26分钟，7投1中，三分2中0，罚球1中0，得到2分2篮板3助攻。

115 to 80, the Blazers suffered a fiasco, and only Aldridge performed well in the team, scoring 26 points and 7 rebounds.

According to media analysis, Roy played very similar to Grant Hill back then, and the injury was also the same reason. He changed too many directions while traveling, and he also played with injuries.Now Roy regrets not taking good care of his injuries back then, but unfortunately there is no regret medicine in this world.

There was no suspense in the next three games. The Clippers won an average of 28 points per game and swept the promotion.

The Mavericks easily swept the Lakers 4-0.

Facing the encirclement and suppression of Kidd, Marion, Prince, Stevenson and others, Kobe Bryant had almost no breakthroughs in the entire series, and the hit rate was even more pitiful.He averaged just 22 points per game while shooting 41.1 percent from the field and 30 percent from [-]-point range.

This season, Kobe Bryant played poorly against the Mavericks in the three regular season games, averaging 21.7 points and shooting only 40.7% from the field, far below his season average of 45.1%. The Mavericks' swingman's defense Make it airtight.

After the game, Kidd joked: "Maybe he just doesn't want to fire against us. It's good that his shooting percentage is lower."

In fact, Kobe opened fire, but it was not allowed.

Kobe felt that we couldn't show weakness by making three-pointers from the opposite side, and then we should do it!when!when!How can you fight against each other like this!Swish!Huh?
Kobe Bryant's performance in the locker room was also unqualified, and he had little communication with his teammates.

If you've seen Derek Fisher's speech in the locker room, you'd think he's the true leader of the Lakers, but this leader can't save the Lakers, or even himself, 6-for-1, 7-for-1, 8 1-for-[-] is the norm for him.

After the game, all the media decided that the Lakers were dead, unless they made a big trade in the summer for other stars.

The Lakers are not short of chips, known as the double-double machine Love of the defensive black hole; the data has dropped, from the balance of offense and defense, similar to Pippen, to Luoer Deng, who is only a CBA teammate now; and Nash, who has the last year of his contract left. .

The Clippers got a break, and the West was upset. The Warriors eliminated the Spurs 4-2 and advanced to the second round. Jerry's coaches met again.

The Warriors' power forward officially changed his name to Zach Randolph. In the face of the Spurs' singles, neither Scola nor Duncan could prevent him, nor could Bonner and McDyess.

As a floor player, Scola is most afraid of people like Randolph, who is not easy to interfere with shooting.The style of the two is somewhat similar, both can pull out and shoot, and have low footsteps.

Lopez mainly focuses on high-level pick-and-rolls. Under Hornacek's training, he plays like Yao Ming. He can not only shoot in the middle, but also practice three-pointers in the middle, which can open up space.Duncan was forced out of the pick-and-roll, Conley scored reasonably, and he could score himself, catching the Spurs' weakness.

The Spurs' starting small forward this season is Budinger, who can shoot three-pointers and can't defend on the flanks.

Before draft day, Popovich was going to trade George Hill for a rookie small forward, otherwise the Spurs couldn't get out of the woods.

George Hill is a person in an awkward position. He has poor organization as a point guard and lacks height to play a shooting guard. The advantage is that he can break through and shoot. Next year is his contract year, and the Spurs management does not want to renew his contract with a high salary.

Yang Rui had guessed Popovich's idea early on, and he has recently been pondering how to get the management to change a first-round pick to intercept Kawhi Leonard.

As long as this is done, the Spurs will lose half of the future and will not be able to compete with the Clippers.But in his previous life, Leonard was the 15th pick, too high.It is difficult for the Clippers to exchange for a draft pick at this position with ordinary chips. It is easier to exchange after 20, and it cannot prevent the rise of the Spurs.

Yang Rui can only think about these things during the season. His goal is the championship. If all goes well, the end of the season will not be far from the draft.

Even if he can't intercept Leonard, he still needs a first-round pick. The 2011 rookie is of high quality and should not be missed. Even if he is 30, there is a potential rookie with super physical fitness like Jimmy Butler.

On May 5, the second round of the Western Conference started. The Warriors were upset in the away game and gave the Clippers a dismay, winning 1 to 108.

库里这场发挥严重失常，15投4中，三分球10投2中，罚球2中2，只得12分4助攻。

Yang Rui gave Curry the right to take the shot, and he did, and the result was disappointing.

Mike Conley is a strange man with average statistics, but he does not suffer against all star guards. In this game, he mainly defended Curry, increased his playing time, and let his teammates deal with Paul, and achieved very good results.

The Clippers' offensive rhythm is also not good, and the positional warfare is the main one. The three insiders, Jordan, Griffin, and Mahinmi, are trapped in the defense.

This way of losing Yang Rui had long expected that once the Clippers landed in a positional battle, there would be trouble. If the inside line could not be opened, it would be difficult to get rid of the defense on the outside, which would affect the team's offense.

Yang Rui can't completely ignore Jordan and Mahinmi, because both Randolph and Lopez can attack from a low position.The Warriors are very strong, and the regular season didn't play well because Lopez missed 25 games due to injury.

Next, Yang Rui adjusted the lineup, reused Dunleavy, Korver, and Neil, reduced Tony Allen's playing time, resolutely fought with the Warriors, and increased shots from beyond the three-point line.

The weakness of the Warriors is the flank. Jason Richardson was traded to the Suns. The swingmen Dorell Wright and Reggie Williams are not strong. The main function is to shoot three-pointers and defend in general.

Yang Rui sent players with better shots to spread out, and the big man covered the side to help the defender get rid of the catch and shoot. In response to the shortcomings of Lopez and Randolph's slow movement, Paul organized in the middle.

As soon as the outside shot is opened, the inside air cut can also create opportunities. Griffin dunks Lopez one every other, Jordan also has 4 wonderful dunks, and the Clippers players start to take the top five balls again.

The Clippers won two games in a row and regained home-court advantage.
