I just play ball

Chapter 468 Lianzhuang MVP
The opponent has not yet been determined, the coaching staff has not arranged special content for the time being, and the Lakers will train according to the regular content.Li Yue goes out early and returns late, pays attention to the game status of other teams every day, and even broadcasts live commentary with Durant, who is on vacation.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, the Cavaliers and Wizards also advanced 3-1, and the Eagles and Bulls temporarily led [-]-[-].In the west, the Rockets lead the Grizzlies [-]-[-], the Clippers won the match point, and the Spurs and Warriors will have a battle at Tianwangshan.

The coaching staff headed by D'Antoni began to study the Clippers as their imaginary enemy, but there was not much new content.

As a rival in the same city, the Clippers have played too many times in the past three years, and the core lineup has not changed.

Since Rivers also served as the president of basketball operations, he has repeatedly wanted to get a striker with strong defensive ability and can hit three-pointers, but in the end he only got Matt Barnes's defensive ability, and Dudley's three-pointer. It's okay, the full mid-level signing of Hawes in the offseason was originally intended to make more room for Griffin and Paul, but it was abandoned for some reason.

The Clippers' biggest weakness has never been resolved, and there have been rumors that the new boss Ballmer intends to replace the candidate.

But the weak are weak, Kobe and Gasol took the lead in special training, and the whole team followed suit.

On the evening of the 28th, the battle between the Spurs and the Warriors was held as scheduled, and Li Yue once again explained with Durant.

The two learned professional commentary routines in a decent way. In order to create a better program effect, they first chose a promising team before the game, and then competed with each other during the commentary process, thereby motivating fans to participate in discussions more.

Durant emphasized that he chose the Warriors based on his real thoughts, because the Warriors are good at creating scoring space, leading the league in style of play, equally strong in style of play, and have a very high ceiling in the future, while the Spurs are too traditional.

Li Yue automatically chose to support the Spurs, and he was not optimistic about it, so he still looked for bright spots to explain.

At the beginning of the first quarter, Drummond Green caught the ball and rushed to the basket causing Split to foul and made two consecutive free throws.

Except for Leonard's two mid-range shots, the rest of the Spurs felt cold. The Warriors took the opportunity to play a 12-5 attack wave. This situation continued until the end of the first quarter, and the Warriors led 32-27.

Drummond Green performed very well, personally scored 13 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. Durant said that it is a pity to miss the World Cup, otherwise he can experience the feeling of being teammates with Draymond Green, which will definitely be very enjoyable and unforgettable.

I once thought that in the second quarter, the format changed suddenly. Draymond Green was no longer miraculous. Although he got three steals, he missed none of the five shots. Instead, the Spurs defended Curry and Thompson. in the case of.

The Spurs took the opportunity to even out the difference, but paid a heavy price for 10 fouls and 6 turnovers in a single quarter.

Back from the intermission, the two teams entered a foul tug-of-war, and the Spurs narrowly won by one point.

In the fourth quarter, the situation remained unchanged. Relying on gambling and foul tactics, the Spurs abruptly limited Curry to 6 of 2 shots, and finally won a thrilling 111-107 victory, leading the series 3-2 to win the match point.

On the same night, Harden hit a lore, and the Rockets beat the Grizzlies 109-108 to advance to the Western Conference semifinals.

In the East, the Bulls beat the Bucks 120-66. Kidd paid for his stupid rotation strategy. The Bucks had 13 players on the field. The shortest Jorge Gutierrez totaled 12 minutes, and the longest Jay Ribeless played a total of 33 minutes, and Antetokounmpo, as the absolute main force, only played 15 minutes and was not troubled by fouls.

After the game between the Bulls and the Bucks, all the tennis fans were in an uproar. The topic of laughing at Kidd for not knowing how to coach became a hot topic on Twitter. a disaster.

But Kidd’s charm is great. After all, he is the only one LeBron thinks can match his court analysis ability. At the time of the 08 Olympics, Kidd was the boss of all the superstars in the US team. Even Kobe recognized it. .

On the afternoon of the 29th, the Lakers resumed team training, focusing on how to defend Paul.

The team's three real point guards, Marshall and Price are too weak against Paul, and they will certainly not be able to withstand the impact of Paul. Clarkson is okay, but he lacks too much experience, and he is easy to be manipulated by the show like Lila. If Kobe is arranged Defense, the help that Kobe can provide on the offensive end will inevitably decline, and additional people must be arranged to defend Redick.

Fortunately, the Clippers' bench lineup is terrible, and Iguodala can be arranged to start the game, and the problem is easily solved.

In the evening, the whole team gathers to watch the game.

First of all, the Eagles challenged the Nets in an away game. Perhaps because they were too aggrieved by the previous loss, the Eagles' starting five were beaten to death as soon as they came up. Except for Jeff Teague, they made 2 of 0 shots, and the other four made 12 of 10 shots. The quarter led the Nets by 13 points.

In the second quarter, DeMar and Teague were troubled by fouls and played for only 3 minutes. The Nets took this opportunity to barely draw with the Hawks, but in the third quarter, the Hawks' starting five returned to the first quarter. That kind of fiery touch, except for Jeff Teague, the other four made 16 of 12 shots in total, including 5 three-pointers, leading the Nets by 20 points in a single quarter.

The game entered garbage time, and the Eagles successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Wizards.

After watching the Eastern Conference game, the Lakers will continue to watch the Clippers and Trail Blazers game.

D'Antoni launched a vote, and more than 10 people wanted the Clippers to win, mainly because they were too lazy to travel away.

In the first quarter of the game, Paul grabbed both ends of the offense and defense with one hand, making Lillard 7 of 2 shots, but another Blazers guard CJ McCollum stepped forward, grabbed Redick and made 5 of 4 shots in a single quarter. Forcibly help the team to tie.

But in the second quarter, CJ McCollum suddenly couldn't get the ball, and Lillard and Adelaide made a total of 10 of 4 shots, helping the Clippers to have a 38.5% shooting rate, but still took a 7-point lead .

After returning from the half-time break, perhaps it was the result of the discussion in the locker room. CJ McCollum was able to get the ball again. He lived up to expectations. He made four of five three-pointers and six of seven shots in total. Together with Adelaide, they made 16 of [-] shots. In addition, the Clippers team feels back to normal. The Blazers are falling behind more and more and are about to face elimination.

At the critical moment, Trail Blazers head coach Stotts chose to continue to trust McCollum, but McCollum was no longer miraculous, and the Clippers led more and more, and finally won the sixth game 109-93 and successfully advanced to the Western Conference semifinals .

The opponent has been determined, and there are still four days left before the game, and the various departments of the Lakers officially start preparations.

Li Yue drove back to the apartment, and the league office called to inform him that he would be elected as the MVP of the regular season.

Although it was expected, I am still excited. After all, Lian Zhuang was elected, which is rare in NBA history.

Just after hanging up the phone, text messages and Twitter comments skyrocketed. Looking carefully, it turned out that WOJ announced the news almost at the same time, and the award ceremony was scheduled to be held on the night of the game against the Clippers. It was still witnessed by the Lakers fans in the arena.
