i'm really an insider

Chapter 496 493: Who to choose for the new tea?Xiaoshuai is destined to be a hot man (7K tickets required)
The old thief Vicki walked to the door of the press conference hall in desperation. He has participated in countless press conferences in his life.

But this time, he didn't have the courage to push open the door of the conference hall.

In fact, even if it is the first against the eighth, it is normal to lose a game.

Not necessarily every first and eighth series must be 4-0.

But before today's game started, the old thief was talking nonsense in the verbal battle with Wayne.

There are three words between the lines - I will not lose!

Then, I lost today.

It is embarrassing for a person half buried in the ground to be beaten in the face.

The Spurs' loss to the Grizzlies cannot be simply attributed to bad luck, or a player on the opposite side broke out.

The Grizzlies really suppressed the Spurs in terms of rhythm.

Today's loss in this game is similar to the Spurs' losses to the Trail Blazers during the regular season.

The Grizzlies use inside offense and tough defense to suppress the Spurs' rhythm and prevent the Spurs from speeding up.

As a team that hit No. [-] in the Western Conference by relying on a fast-paced offense in the regular season, he suddenly couldn't play his best basketball.

It is only because the Grizzlies' own offensive ability cannot be compared with the Blazers that they have been lingering with the Spurs until the last moment.

As long as the Grizzlies' offense is stronger, the Spurs will never lose by only 3 points.

That's right, in the old thief's view, the Spurs only lost 3 points to the Grizzlies, not because the Spurs were determined enough, but because the Grizzlies' offense was not good enough.

This is very sad.

How can I adjust it next?No matter how you adjust, it is impossible for the Spurs to give up the fast offense that has persisted throughout the season, right?

How is it possible to directly change the system during the playoffs.

But if you insist on playing fast offense, the Grizzlies can just suppress it.

The old thief found himself stuck in the classic multiple-choice question of "choose one of two bottles of poison".

In the past, he was the one who gave poison to others.

This time, he became the one who had to make a choice.

Although he only played one game, the old thief can already predict that this round of the series will not be easy.

Even though I really don't want to admit it, but.
This round of the series will be played very hard, it is a fact!

He had to admit that Wayne was right.

The old thief thought that the Spurs, as the No. [-] team in the West, would have the easiest first round of all teams in the West.

But at this moment, the grizzly bear slapped his face hard.

Taking a deep breath, the old thief still pushed open the door of the conference hall.

As soon as he stepped in, the flashes of the audience became one.

The old thief sat on the stage expressionlessly, pretending to be calm, and put on an appearance of "I'm not panicking at all".

But the first question the reporter asked after standing up made the old thief fail.

"Coach Craig, does the loss of this game mean that you have completely lost the argument with Wayne?"

"Wipe" the old thief's veins popped out, it's none of Wayne's business! ?
"You said before that Wayne's remarks were just because he was jealous of the No. [-] spot in the Western Conference. Now? Do you still feel that way?"

"Coach, let's talk about this game. Why did the Spurs be suppressed by the eighth-ranked Grizzlies? You have already lost a home game. How much does this affect the series?"

Sending propositions one by one made the old thief feel his blood pressure soared.

He hates it, what about the easy walk to the finals that was agreed?

Now this shit. It's not good to be hacked!
Suddenly, there was a feeling of seeing a female netizen overturned.

In imagination, she is as beautiful as a fairy.

In reality, she is mighty and majestic.

If he was really hacked, how would he be a thief in front of Wayne in the future?

Today is another day of losing to Wayne.

The Spurs' loss to the Grizzlies was the first upset in this year's playoffs.

However, it wasn't the only high-profile game of the day.

Today's blockbuster duel is really too much.

While the Spurs lost to the Grizzlies, the Lakers, ranked second in the West, successfully killed the leaderless Nuggets.

The Nuggets originally planned to use the fast-paced offense and defense to wear down the elderly Lao Ke and Yao Ming. To put it bluntly, they wanted to beat the old master to death.

Then, while fighting, George Karl found that the Nuggets had punched him to death.

The Nuggets' offense is really chaotic, there is no offensive center of gravity, and anyone who gets the ball can swing it.

The first half was okay, but in the second half, when the Lakers stabilized their position, the Nuggets' messy offense was no threat at all.

于是，就出现了J.R.史密斯的8中3，肯扬.马丁的12中4，菲尔顿的11中4。

Usually in such an anxious moment, someone who can stand up and make a final decision is needed.

But the Nuggets don't have that role.

反观湖人这边，唠嗑稳扎稳打地轰下了34分，姚主席22分8个篮板2次盖帽，怂泰16分11板。

Los Angeles fans shouted, the Lakers champion!
The madness of the veterans continues.

The last matchup in the Western Conference was the much-anticipated Brave Bulls.

This is considered to be the worst matchup in the first round of the playoffs.

The Warriors are missing Love, but because they have last season's MVP Pao Er and the league's No. [-] C Howard after Yao Ming, coupled with the strength that drove them to the Western Conference Finals last season, many people are still optimistic about the Warriors.

Nowitzki?Just a regular season player.

When did this softie play the playoffs without stretching his hips?
The old bones of the Dallas Mavericks took their heads to fight with the young warriors.

But today, the Mavericks surprised all fans.

At the end of the third quarter, the score of the game was 79 to 58, and the Mavericks led the Warriors by 21 points in the third quarter!
58, see also 58.

Wayne was speechless, you have to have something to do with 58 no matter what in your life.

The combat effectiveness of the Mavericks is amazing, but Paul is not surprised.

Because early this morning, Wayne called Pao'er and told him to be careful of the Dallasites.

Paoer did it. He played extremely cautiously throughout the game and performed well.

But the rest of the Warriors didn't make it.

Inwardly speaking, most Warriors players still feel that the Mavericks are nothing special.

As a result, Dirk Nowitzki played his hands on the offensive end, and Terry did whatever he wanted in the middle and long distances.

These two beasts defiled the Warriors' defense.

Under Chandler's strict defense, Howard's offense was also extremely difficult.

Without Love to open the floor, Howard's offensive opportunities will not be as good.

Trailing by 21 points in three quarters, this is the terrifying power of the 11-year Mavericks.

In the fourth quarter, Paoer rose up to resist and frequently played singles.

Seeing this, Wayne knew that the Warriors were finished today.

When Pao'er started playing singles desperately, it meant that his team was completely messed up.

112 to 93, the Mavericks beat the Warriors at home, which is surprising.

Dirk scored 28 points from the game and made a terrifying 13-for-13 from the free throw line. This free throw was as stable as Howard's.

Terry made 10 of 6 three-pointers and scored 24 points second only to Dirk.

除此之外，拳王2盖帽11个篮板，马里昂2个盖帽1个抢断，基德2个盖帽2个抢断。

As long as there is an individual in the Mavericks formation, they can stand up and defend.

For the Warriors, Paul scored 35 points and 10 assists, and Howard grabbed 18 basketballs, but only 14 points were recorded.

As an insider who mainly attacks in the three-second zone, his shooting percentage today is less than 45%.

Since Howard led the team to the finals, his status in the league has skyrocketed.

After all, it has been a long time since there has been a team in this league that has a center at its core and can still make it to the finals.

But what about these two years?
Howard's performance in the playoffs was disappointing.

In the Western Conference finals last year, Yao Ming pressed him to the ground and ate dirt all the way.

Fighting a boxing champion this year is actually so embarrassing.

It is really difficult to equate his performance with the title of super center.

The Mavericks took a 1-0 lead, and the two teams in Texas had an upset today.

It's just that one loses and the other wins.

So far, the first game of the first round of the NBA playoffs is all over.

In the first round, there were many upsets, and the competition was fierce.

Seeing Pao'er's unwilling expression after losing, Wayne was also quite uncomfortable.

Although the Warriors didn't make it to the end last season, it's good to be able to touch the floor of the Western Conference Finals.

But this season, if Paoer can't even pass the first round.
God knows how much he will be hit.

Le Fu was hurt at the wrong time.

But having said that, even if Love is there, the Warriors may not necessarily be able to beat the Mavericks.

This is destined to be a fierce battle for Paoer.

Wayne is still looking forward to competing with his former little brother in the Western Conference Finals.

But this year the situation.
Why this year, these heart-wrenching things will start to appear in the first round.

Wayne turned on the phone, wanting to send something to Paoer, but after typing and deleting text messages, he didn't know what to say in the end.

This wave, Brother Wei, I really can’t help you this wave.

This time, you're on your own.

On April 4, the third game day of the playoffs, all Western Conference teams will have a day off, which means that the No. 18 Trail Blazers and Thunder will officially start G19.

Everyone in the Trail Blazers was not idle during this day of rest. Although the training intensity was not high during the playoffs, everyone was actively maintaining their state.

After the training, Wayne didn't go home immediately, but went to Steve Patterson's office.

As usual, Patterson will ask Wayne for his opinion on the draft two months later.

This year's draft pick Patterson is very fancy, because the Clippers' record of 32 wins and 50 losses is really a show.

Can you believe it, because of an Outlaw, the Clippers actually paid their lottery pick.

Clippers: Damn who would have thought that we are still unable to get out of the lottery circle!
This is a big mistake caused by not having a B number in mind.

Three first-round picks, one of which is still a lottery pick.

As a championship team, this draft pick made the bad team cry.

Although 11 is still considered a small draft year, Patterson still drools for LSP when he looks at the names of those rookies.

Patterson called everyone here today, mainly because he wanted to study the question of who to choose for the new tea.

Patterson himself prefers USC's junior center, Nikola Vucevic.

In college this season, he averaged 17+10 per game.

He is 2 meters tall, fair-skinned and beautiful, with range, support and skills.

Why him?

Because Patterson also clearly saw the downward trend of his sister-in-law.

In a few years, when the sister-in-law is really old, Vucevic, who has a similar technical style to her sister-in-law, should have matured and can seamlessly enter the starting lineup.

Similar to Vucevic's situation, there is also Lithuanian Valanciunas.

However, because Varan has not played in the NCAA, Patterson does not have much information, so Vucevic has a higher priority than Varan.

Overall, Patterson has his sights set on the paint.

He hopes to find Gasol's successor in this year's draft.

Carlisle also expressed his opinion. Compared with the inside, he hopes that the team can win a second position with a high ball quotient and accurate shooting.

Carlisle doesn't care much about a player's physical fitness. He believes that golf intelligence is more important to a championship team than the ability to fly and escape.

In a bad team without a system, a player with great physical fitness but average golf intelligence may be able to play smoothly.

But in a team with a rigorous system like the Trail Blazers, this kind of player may struggle.

And the few insiders and guards who are hot in the lottery this year are all with more than enough physical fitness and almost meaningless basketball IQ.

Kemba Walker has both, but the Blazers can choose or not.Even if chosen, Walker is still number one, unable to meet Carlisle's request, and also conflicted with Curry.

Moreover, Carlisle also hopes to make up for the shortcomings of Tony's inability to shoot.

Tony is a double-edged sword. The defense can give you the feeling of 6v5, but the offense is 4v5.

The 10-second 4 iron the day before yesterday was even more exaggerated than 35 minutes.

Carlisle liked Tony very much, but Tony did have shortcomings.

With a player like Tony to win the championship, no problem.

But Dynasty, it must be admitted, a player like Tony is almost meaningless.

Otherwise, the Blazers would have won three consecutive championships.

And because Tony can't attack, the opponent can often send the tightest defense to torture Curry, so that Curry can't exert his maximum power.

It would be great if there is an off-ball shooter who is weaker in defense but accurate in three-pointers, has a high ball quotient and can run tactics, and doesn't need the ball!
Such a combination will definitely allow the Blazers to break the embarrassing curse of being unable to win consecutive championships.

Tang Shen: You can just read my ID number directly.

Therefore, Carlisle's suggestion is Washington State University's junior guard, Klay Thompson, the second generation of the ball.

And the NCAA god-level scorer, the lonely god who averaged 28.8 points per game this season and scored 40 at every turn, Jimmer Fredette.

These two people are also relatively close in market, and both are predicted to be picked around the tenth pick.

As for the Clippers' record, they are most likely to get a draft pick near tenth.

Isn't it wonderful?

Finally, the two looked at Wayne.

Wayne said that you, Carlisle, are indeed an expert.

So far you can smell the fungus. Thompson's aroma.

"Klay Thompson is a good choice. I think he is more pure than Fredette. Fredette still needs to hold the ball a lot of time, while Thompson, he is a serious off-ball shooter.

Therefore, my opinion is to use the lottery pick to select Thompson.If you can't get it, get kawaii. "

"Ah? This kawaii you're talking about? Is he cute?" Patterson looked confused.

"He's not cute, he's facial paralyzed."

"Leonard? That short power forward? I don't think his butt is as fat as Tucker's." Carlisle was obviously a little surprised.

Leonard has also observed it. Generally speaking, he has great potential, but he is not sure how much he can develop.

Back then, the Magic also felt that Thabeet had great potential, and then...
"He doesn't have a good ass, but" Wayne was suddenly speechless in the middle of the sentence.

No, we three big men get together, why discuss another big man's ass!
LSP meeting?
"Ahem, I think he is better at the [-]rd position, and he can develop his shooting. No matter what, it should be easier to develop than Tony. In fact, I highly recommend Leonard, and I am quite optimistic about him.

If our lottery pick can successfully win Thompson, then we can see if we can trade up for the next two first-round picks.

If you can get a position around the 15th pick, it should be enough to take Leonard down.

Thompson and Leonard are the two best players in my opinion. "

After Wayne finished speaking, Carlisle and Patterson thought for a moment, then nodded.

Since the Trail Blazers allowed Wayne to participate in the draft, in terms of the draft, the three have the right to speak about Patterson<Carlisle<Wayne.

That's right, Patterson, the general manager, has the least right to speak.

After all, he is not directly involved in the game, and his understanding of the game is not as good as Carlisle and Wayne.

Although Carlisle is the head coach, Wayne is the star after all.

So most of the time, the team is more towards Wayne.

It's just that the relationship between the three of them has always been good, and everything they do is negotiated, so there has never been any unhappiness in this regard.

"Well, we will carefully consider your suggestion, Wei. I will study and study, and after the draft lottery comes out, if there is no problem, I will seek a trade."

Patterson also has a goal next, and the first goal is naturally Thompson, whom both Wayne and Carlisle have taken a fancy to.

The second target is Fredette, and the third target is that uncute kawaii.

The fourth goal is his European long legs.

Carlisle and Wayne walked out of the office together. There happened to be floor-to-ceiling windows outside the office, and they could see the team training hall at the bottom.

The lights were on in the gym, and there were a few trainers and a player on the court.

"Stephen is still training, doesn't he know there will be a game tomorrow?" Carlisle frowned.

"Leave him alone, Mancias is with him, he'll be fine." Wayne shrugged, then put his arm around Carlisle's shoulder and walked away.

"Tomorrow's Game"

"Don't worry coach, I won't let Durant pick any bouquet of roses in the rose garden."

Wayne is full of confidence, isn't he a scoring champion?

Come and make him cry once.

The next day, the G2 between the Blazers and the Thunder continued in the Rose Garden.

Curry's excitement also continued into this game. How excited is it?

I got so excited that I performed a face-smacking pass with Wayne.
On the Blazers' first play, Wayne set a screen for the schoolboy and then stayed at the top of the key.

After Curry broke through, Wayne thought that the excited elementary school students would break through by themselves.

As a result, Curry suddenly passed the ball behind his back and returned the ball to Wayne at the top of the arc.

"Ah this."

Because the distance was very short and the passing speed was fast, Wayne couldn't react at all.

Moreover, if the ball is passed well, Wayne can subconsciously receive it.

The key point is that the ball is directly aimed at the face, and no one would pass the ball at this height in a normal pass.

With a "crack", the basketball directly exploded Wayne's head!

"Fuck." At that time, the entire Trail Blazers players were shocked.

Curry is awesome. He is the first man in the history of the Trail Blazers to hit Wayne on the head with a ball.
With this pass alone, Curry's position in the Trail Blazers is unshakable.

Curry was so frightened that he almost died on the spot. It's over, why the one who passed the ball to Wayne slipped his hand!

I'm not tall, so I won't be beaten down to 183 by Brother Wei!
Wayne rubbed his nose, then hurried to the defense.

You pass a der on your back!
I don't know what level I recited, but I don't have a beep in my heart?
Well, in addition to dunking, Curry's second killer move is to pass the ball behind his back!

Curry's pass behind the back is all about a fancy mistake.

Wayne still remembers when he was watching the game before, in the 16 finals, Curry made a pass error behind the back at a critical moment and directly passed the championship to Mousse.

It can be called a back pass killer.

Even though Wayne tried his best, he still couldn't catch up to the No. 0 turtle-fire boy.

Mr. Turtle completed the dunk easily, and the Thunder took the lead!

Wayne reluctantly picked up the basketball, ready to serve the baseline.

Curry also ran up at this time, with an apologetic expression: "Brother Wei, do you believe me when I said that my hand slipped?"

Wayne shook his head, fortunately this is not a critical moment.Forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as elementary school students.

So Wayne didn't say anything, just passed the ball to Curry and started again.

Pao'er and Artest, who were watching the game, were both sore.

Isn't that the end?

Brother Wei, you didn't say anything at all?

Damn, you're eccentric!
If Pao'er and Toutai had passed the ball to Wayne's face, the tattoos would have faded.

Fortunately, Curry didn't make any more mistakes after that, and he played vigorously on the offensive end as soon as he came up.

In the last game, Curry didn't play until the second half.

Today, Curry has been full of desire to attack since the first quarter.

On the side of the Thunder, Durant found the feeling today, so he wouldn't miss a single goal like in the last game.

Again, it is impossible for a player of this level to be completely locked.

Wayne has watched and played for so many years, and the only star he has ever seen who can completely lock the opponent in the playoffs is Jr. defending Embiid.

I think that when Embiid met Xiaojia in the playoffs, he averaged 27.5 points and 13.6 rebounds per game in the regular season and shot 48.4% from the field.
This is the only example in Wayne's memory that a star has been completely locked up.

However, although KD played better than the previous game, his performance is still not outstanding.He made 7 of 2 shots in the first quarter, and his hit rate was still hip.

Although there was an ironic mistake at the beginning of the game, the Blazers quickly regained their initiative and firmly controlled the game.

Afterwards, Curry played more and more confidently, more and more freely.

He didn't just catch the ball and shoot, he also started to try to organize the offense with the ball.

With a ball in the second quarter, Curry spit out his braces while dribbling, and the braces accidentally fell out of his mouth.

As a result, Curry quickly caught the braces with his left hand, and at the same time passed the ball to Wayne who was cutting in with his right hand.

After taking the ball, Wayne directly slammed for a dunk, helping the team expand its lead.

Well, Curry is a good passer as long as he doesn't post the pass.

Carlisle smiled with relief. Curry has completely relaxed in this game.

In the last game, Curry performed well, but he was still a little nervous.

But today, he can play to his strengths on the court as he pleases.

If Curry can continue this state to the second round against the Lakers
Well, this year, the Blazers might really have a chance!

Wayne and Curry fought and kicked, and finally won the game 101-93 without any risk.

Curry had 24 points and 8 assists, while Wayne had a double-double with 29 points and 12 rebounds.

The combination of the two is a bit like a gunner at the beginning.

For the Thunder, Gui Shao had 23 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 steals. Just looking at these statistics, it is not too much to say that they are comparable to Jordan.

But hits and turnovers smelt like sewer as soon as they were dragged out.

龟少全场22投仅仅7中，命中率只有31%。用22次出手换来的23分，性价比可就不高了。

Although Du Xiaoshuai scored 22 points today, his shooting percentage was only 41.7%, still not up to the standard during the regular season.

Tony once again completed the blocking of the scoring leader!
2 to 0, the Blazers headed for Russian Village with two consecutive victories!
After two games, almost no one is talking about Thunder's talent anymore.

Yes, this youth army is very talented.But their experience in the playoffs and their ability to fight tough battles are not at the same level as the Blazers.

Durant thought this playoffs was a springboard for him to take off.

If he can win against the Trail Blazers, then he will really be a first-line superstar in the league.

Even if you can't win, it's fine if you can play an excellent individual performance.

As everyone knows, Wayne just proved it again - Little Wayne is always Little Wayne.

After the game, Wayne was chatting with elementary school students when he heard the system prompt.

Open the system interface and look, good guy, the hostility value with Xiaoshuai has increased a lot.

The distance reaches the first tick mark and gets closer again.

Wayne hurriedly looked at Durant, but he couldn't find anyone else.

Handsome, handsome, you are really black-bellied.

Don't say anything, do you already hate me so much?

In that case
Then hate me a little more!

It's still very cool to be able to get the wool from the scoring champion!
Durant walked into the locker room with his head buried, without saying a word.

At this time, even if you come out with Scarlett's steaming foot washing water, he won't take a second look.

At this moment, Du Xiaoshuai had only one thought in his mind - the goal of my career is to surpass Wayne!

Don't bully the young and poor, dare you make a three-year contract with me!
Wayne: You are not native, this has been done many years ago.

There is no way, every boy who is defeated by the strong will have such unrealistic fantasies.

The resentment in Durant's heart is still increasing. He has regarded Wayne as his lifelong enemy, as the man who will surpass him throughout his life.

The impact of this round of the series on Durant is much greater than Wayne expected.
　The first update is here, begging for tickets
