Chapter 827 [The inside line explodes, the second round sweeps]

In other series, the Thunder and Warriors were 2-2.

Westbrook's comeback has enhanced the Thunder's perimeter strength, but the Warriors with Zach Randolph and Brook Lopez have completely exploded the Thunder's interior strength.

Kendrick Perkins is still the starting center for the Thunder this year, and he is the worst starting insider in the league, no one.In the regular season, he averaged only 3.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.5 blocks per game.

This season, Perkins' annual salary has reached 890 million, and the Thunder is too miserable.There are fans with secondary illnesses who speak for Perkins, people will always get old, is it not allowed to decline in state?Then I checked the age online, I went, this guy is only 29 years old, how does it look like he retired for several years?

Entering the playoffs, Perkins was still only able to resist people, without data, and was blown up by Lopez every game.

The Warriors have no players with particularly outstanding statistics this year. The best Conley has 17.2 points and 6 assists, so no one has been selected as an All-Star, but it does not mean that they are not strong.

The Spurs lead the Suns 3-1 and the Mavericks lead the Rockets 3-1 and are about to advance.

The Eastern Nets swept the Heat, the Pacers swept the Magic, and the Cavaliers swept the Hornets.The pattern of the West being strong and the East being weak is becoming more and more obvious. Only the 4th and 5th games have a little suspense. The Wizards have a flawed 3-1 lead lineup, and the Pistons have poor outside shooting.

Soon, the three teams advanced with a total score of 4 to 1. The Thunder defeated the Warriors 4 to 2 and will face the Clippers in the second round.

Before the start of the game, the entertainment media first broke a news about Yang Rui, who is expecting another child.

"Avengers 2" is being filmed, Scarlett Johansson was revealed to be pregnant a few days ago, and Marvel also announced that it will adjust the filming plan of the film, bringing up the role of Black Widow and filming first. Movies with widows as protagonists may die as a result.

Although Scarlett's lower abdomen did not have obvious bulge, it was difficult for her to shoot fight scenes, and the crew used three stand-ins to help.Because these three stand-ins are very similar to Scarlett herself, the actors in the crew expressed that it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.

"Captain America" ​​actor Chris Evans said he had been chatting with one of them for a long time before he suddenly realized he was talking to a "fake Scarlett".

Scarlett said happily: "We all like children, so it happened. I hope it's a boy this time. Of course, the girl is also very good. It would be even better if it was a twin."

As soon as the news came out, Thunder leader Kevin Durant was hit hard. His goddess was soon the mother of two children, and the father of the children was still someone he hated.

Can't stand it!Durant vowed to lead the team to beat the Clippers.

Then, the first Thunder lost 100 to 122.

To deal with the Thunder, all teams in the league know what to do, strictly guard against Westbrook and Durant, defend the perimeter alone, double-team near the penalty area, and let Perkins, Sefrosa, Collison and others shoot.

There are too many flaws in the Thunder lineup. One is that there are few scoring points, the other is the lack of three-point shooters, and the third is that the backup strength is too poor.

They can beat the Warriors because the Warriors rely on the trident and their backup strength is also poor. The Thunder is slightly better than the star player.Now encountering a team with strong backup like the Clippers, Er Shao can't stand the game.

The second game was almost a replica of the first game, and the Thunder substitutes were beaten to pieces.

Reggie Jackson was injured in the regular season because of Westbrook. He started 36 games and averaged 28.5 minutes per game, scoring 13.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 4.1 assists, but his shooting percentage was only 44% and 33.9% three-pointers, with average efficiency.

Entering the playoffs, Jackson and the veteran Fisher took the bench together, and the 2CM height of the cameo No. 191 had no advantage, and the breakthrough would be trapped in the zone defense.

Fisher is even worse. He is 185cm tall to defend against Livingston, who is 201cm tall. Now he can only defend against the top. Livingston is not afraid of this kind of player.

114 to 94, the Clippers lead 2-0 on aggregate.

利文斯顿全场打了27分钟，10投8中，罚球4中4，拿到了20分4篮板3助攻1抢断。替补都有这样的发挥，雷霆输20分一点都不奇怪。

The Thunder's two young masters played stably and scored 59 points together, but they couldn't bring a group of blue-collar teammates, especially Sefrosa and Perkins, who couldn't throw the ball in the open space.

Sefolosha is in a sluggish state. Entering the playoffs, he averaged only 3.7 points and 2.1 rebounds per game, and Perkins has 3.7 points and 5 rebounds. As long as they are on the court, there are people outside the penalty area who can be empty.Jeremy Lamb, acquired from the Rockets, is not as good as Sefolosha, with a low shooting percentage and poor defense.

Back in the third game at home, Durant led the team to blossom more in the first half, leading the Clippers by 8 points.

In the last quarter, Durant was bored, and the Clippers gradually overtook the score. The second half became Westbrook's performance time, relying on forced breakthroughs to make foul free throws to bite the score.

In the last minute, the Thunder defended against Curry, Griffin, and Gay, but were fatally hit by Danny Green.

Griffin made an empty cut to attract double-teams and then scored the ball. Green received the ball and made a strong three-pointer against Jackson. He evaded the block and hit by his height advantage, widening the difference to 4 points.

There was not much time, and the Thunder could only bet on three points. Durant's dry-pull shot hit the iron, and the rebound was grabbed by Gay.The Thunder could only use foul tactics, and Gay made two free throws to seal the victory.

The final 113 to 107, the Clippers 3 to 0 lead.

Durant shot accurately in the first half and completely lost in the second half. He played 46 minutes, 25 of 12 shots, 8 of 2 three-pointers, 7 of 5 free throws, 31 points, 14 rebounds and 2 assists, and a game-high 7 times. mistake.

维少打了44分钟，23投8中，三分球6中1，罚球18中17，砍下34分7篮板8助攻5抢断，失误5次。

The Clippers won on the inside, and Griffin, Faried, Parsons, and Chandler scored in double figures.The Thunder insiders are all blue-collar players except Ibaka. Ibaka is good at catching and shooting.

Clippers perimeter Curry, Gay, and Green scored in double figures.

Curry was in a very bad state, scoring only 24 of 9 shots, 8 of 2 three-pointers, 7 of 4 free throws, and scored 24 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.Fortunately, the Clippers scored more points, and the Thunder couldn't prevent it, otherwise the danger would be in danger.

After the game, Yang Rui gave Curry a ideological lesson. In this series, he made a bad choice of shots. On the one hand, Thunder’s strict defense was on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to defeat Wei Shao.

Because of winning two championships, Curry's popularity has soared and he is very popular in China, becoming the star game ticket king for two consecutive years.But there are also many people who are dissatisfied, thinking that Curry's personal ability is not top-notch, and many guards can beat him one-on-one.

Curry wants to prove that he is also very capable of singles, but this is not necessary at all. Yang Rui told him to play according to tactics, reduce the number of shots against people, and avoid random passes.

"Play aggressively to win, not play beautifully. In the playoffs, you have to play every round as if it were the last round, and focus on small details. You are the core of the team, and you must lead by example. Understand?"

How dare Curry refute the boss's lecture?In the fourth game, forced shots were reduced, and some ball rights were given to inside teammates.

Griffin, Chandler, and Faried hit the basket again and again, scoring, and rebounding the Thunder inside.

格里芬17投10中，罚球5中4，得到24分17篮板3助攻，钱德勒也有12分8篮板进账，加上法里德的11个篮板，三人的篮板球数就胜过了雷霆全队。

The 53 points scored by Er Shao together is also a drop in the bucket, unable to withstand the more blossoming offense of the Clippers.

In the final 114 to 101, the Clippers won another away game and swept 4 to 0 to advance.
