Chapter 509: If You Have More Ability, You Will Be Enough!

The third game between the Spurs and the Clippers was held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The Clippers, who had the home advantage, took the lead and beat the Spurs by 20 points at halftime. The Spurs were chasing points in the second half, but both Paul and James were in control No matter how the Spurs catch up with the masters on the field, it will be of no avail.

After losing one game, the Knicks instantly turned into a berserk Hulk. In the fourth game, they beat up the Pacers and won by 30 points at the Pacers' home court. Paul George, in particular, was extremely frustrated.

Being repeatedly ravaged by Gatsby did not make Paul George frustrated, but the team's weakness at critical moments made him feel desperate. The Pacers were desperate enough, but there was still no way to cross the Knicks.

Back at Madison Square Garden in Game [-], the Pacers could no longer organize their fighting spirit, and the Knicks easily accepted the game.

After the game, Paul George did not participate in the press conference. It is reported that Paul George asked the team to strengthen. If the team does not do anything during the offseason, he will request to be traded.

Experts have commented one after another, and the general meaning is-the Knicks have broken up another team!
The dust has settled in the East, but the Western Conference Finals have been eroded. The Spurs and Clippers have exhausted their last shot. In the fourth game, the Spurs fought against the Clippers at the Staples Center. This time, the Spurs did not fall behind at the beginning , Instead, he fired with all his strength as soon as he entered the game. Duncan took up the banner of offense and beat Griffin so hard that he couldn't hold his head up.

The two sides entered the battle of Tianwangshan 2:2. The Spurs were sitting at home. LeBron showed the strength of the second player in the league and scored 31 points at halftime.

But Mr. Popovich is not a vegetarian. At this time, he can still take out new gadgets from his pocket, arrange a lineup of two towers and three shooters to counterattack, and complete a 19-point reversal.

At the last moment, Duncan pressed James to make up the dunk, defeated the Clippers, defended the home court, and won the battle of Tianwang Mountain.

In the sixth game, Paul stood up and scored 41 points and 12 assists alone. The fans at the Staples Center chanted St. Paul, and the Clippers won the sixth game.

The two sides entered a tiebreaker. God was unfair to Chris Paul. During an ordinary layup in the first quarter, Paul did a split on the spot because there was sweat on the floor when he got off the ground. He strained his thigh and was helped off the court. , never came back.

Losing Paul, the Clippers stubbornly resisted the Spurs under the leadership of James. James went to the basket time and time again, but with Duncan and Howard protecting the basket, James simply regarded himself as a soldier carrying a bomb to blow up a bunker. After rushing in again and again, being hated by Howard and Duncan, he still refused to stop.

But the Spurs were ultimately better than the Clippers who lost Paul. The Clippers were in trouble, and James once again stopped before the finals.

Gatsby was quite emotional. After all, Paul lacked some luck. It is strange to say that every time Paul reaches the crucial playoffs, either he is injured or his teammates are injured. In China, it is estimated that you have to go to the temple to pray to get rid of bad luck, and you may have to pay some incense money to get some incense ash mixed with water to drink.

The East is already dominated by the Knicks, but in the West, every round of the series has classic games, and almost even the dog's brains are played.

The Clippers lost the Western Conference Finals, but it’s not without good news. The league is already trying to force Donald Sterling to sell the team. It is said that Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer intends to acquire the Clippers. If Steve Ballmer If Ermer takes charge of the Clippers, the Clippers will have the richest team owner in the league, even the Blazers owner Paul Allen will be slightly inferior.

Of course, Gatsby's net worth is not much different from that of Ballmer, but Gatsby can't yet claim that he is the owner of the Knicks.

Whether the Clippers are in good shape or not, they are expected to achieve greater results next season, but this season can only be like this.

The Knicks and Spurs meet again on the stage of the Finals!

Last season, the Spurs and the Knicks met in the Finals. The Spurs were overthrown by the Knicks. Duncan was so angry that he slapped the ground and roared. This season, the Spurs must have paid too much for today.

The Spurs, which are stronger than last year, have Howard, the number one center who has been reborn from the ashes. Yes, in the Spurs, Howard has returned to the top, and Duncan, the number one power forward in history, is standing next to him. The strength reflected is still one of the top power forwards in the league today.

The Spurs still have Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker, and more importantly, they also have Popovich, one of the best coaches in the NBA!
Whether the Spurs can end the Knicks' dynasty is a question everyone is thinking about.

Many experts are optimistic about the Spurs, because from the Bulls dynasty to the Lakers dynasty, no one can win four championships in a row. The Celtics dynasty was established in the wild era, and there is no reference point.

In the eyes of experts, the Knicks are also impossible.

This is not just speculation according to the usual practice, but a conclusion after comparing strengths.

The first is the comparison of the inside line. The Spurs' inside line suppresses the Clippers, and the Knicks' inside line should have no problem. Although Duncan is old, he should still have no problem dealing with a short power forward Draymond Green.

Howard, who has returned to the top, has no problem dealing with Whiteside, and he also has a lot of advantages.

As for the small forward position, the Spurs are slightly weaker, but Danny Green should be able to limit Leonard.

Although Thompson is strong at this point, he plays off the ball, and it is difficult to open as long as he keeps up.

The key is Gatsby, which is a difficult point for any team, but since the Spurs can beat the Clippers with James and Paul, they should have no problem beating the Knicks.

The key point is that the Spurs and Knicks play relatively similar styles of play, both of which are based on the passing and cutting system. The lack of hard power, with the addition of Howard this year, the Spurs already have the confidence to deal with the Knicks.

Well, this is the prediction and judgment of various experts now.

Popovich didn't think so. He was the person involved. He knew exactly how they were defeated by the Knicks last season. After all, the Spurs were not defeated by the Knicks, but by Gatsby.

If it were any leader, whether it was Kobe or James, the Knicks' lineup and Popovich would definitely be confident of defeating them, but it was Gatsby's point that the Spurs couldn't restrain, which led to the final collapse of the entire team.

Gatsby is so incomprehensible, he's hopelessly comprehensive, and that's the point.

No matter what tricks you use to deal with him, not only can he think of a way to crack it, the key is that he has the ability to crack it, which is the most deadly.

For a player like Paul, his ability to read the game is probably not weaker than Gatsby, but he can understand it and can figure out a way, but it is beyond his ability to crack it by relying on his own ability. , I have more than enough heart but not enough strength, what can I do?
