Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 295
The first team to break out of the first round of the playoffs this season was the Cleveland Cavaliers, who swept the Pistons 4-0 without any suspense.

After LeBron James personally ended the Pistons' season trip, the media was overwhelmingly published the next day with photos of him dunking Drummond.

Yuan Qingshan stared at the tablet for a long time, and he always felt that the expressions of the two people in the picture were strange.

As the victor, James didn't seem very excited, but as the loser, Drummond had a Buddha-like expression, as if he was ready to be eliminated.

Perhaps from the first game, both sides have been ready to accept their fate.

The Raptors, which had high hopes from the fans, lost the game. The King of the North in Toronto was beaten back to his original form by General Indian City and turned into a garbage brother.

Paul George insisted on leading the Pacers to chase the big score to 2-2 with a strong force.

This set of series was good, and many people began to hope that George would win, maybe he could really unseat the emperor this year.

The Celtics group, which had been hyped by the media before as the "Thunder and Fire War" in the East, had no suspense, and the Eagles successfully won the match point.

Coach Stevens has never been able to deal with the loophole of Thomas Jr., and the number one position was blown out by Teague.

Boston fans couldn't accept this result at all, and more and more people began to question the young coach Stevens and the strongest 175 Thomas Jr. on the surface.

Little Thomas has been surrounded by negative reports these days, and his mood is terrible.

There is no upset in the West, and the Warriors led 3-0 as the media had expected, but the process was not smooth.

They encountered tenacious resistance from the Grizzlies. The black and white bears tied the score in the fourth quarter for two consecutive games. Unfortunately, McConley could not deal with Curry. Curry stood up at two critical moments and killed the game with his iconic ultra-long-range three-pointer.

This kind of murderous ball has lost the temper of the tough Grizzlies, and it seems that there will be no miracles in the fourth game.

The progress of the thunder and fire battle is relatively slow, the third game has not yet started, and the current score is 1-1.

James Harden, who had a fantastic performance in the first game, went down to earth in the second game and scored 43 points alone. He beat the Thunder to the ground in overtime. Neither Waiters nor Robertson could guard against him.

Westbrook was so angry that he didn't accept interviews after the game, and went straight home and shot 100 mid-range shots.

Beverly, the trash dog of the Rockets, started at the No. [-] position. He was responsible for biting Westbrook. He not only exhausted Westbrook's physical strength, but also brought out his emotions. Everyone knew that as long as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came up, the Thunder would stop.

Durant was interviewed alone.

The reporter asked: Westbrook's shooting rate is not high, and the touch is not good. Why do you have to give him the offensive power all the time?

Durant was embarrassed, and was stunned for a few seconds before answering: "Russell played very well tonight. The Thunder lost the game, but it was because Lady Luck was not on our side."

The reporter continued to ask: Kevin, you feel so good, why don't your teammates hand over the ball to you?

Damn, Durant can't wait to pick up the microphone and greet the reporter's head. Did you ask such a question? Are you an undercover agent sent by Houston?

"Russell's chance is better than mine." Durant smiled on the surface, MMP in his heart.

The reporter with a clear mind wanted to open his mouth, but was stopped by the staff.

Durant, who was already depressed, was in a worse mood after being messed up by him. After saying a few polite words, he left in a hurry.

The Thunder flew back to Oklahoma overnight. After getting off the plane, Durant turned on his phone and browsed the Thunder forum on the bus.

The fans were all denouncing Westbrook, saying that he played too independently and was almost as good as Marbury.

Durant turned around, covered the phone screen with his palm, turned away from Adams next to him, and replied under a post titled "I think the ball should be given to Durant for the next game": "Give that damn basketball to the most talented person, yes I said Kevin Durant."

This reply quickly received more than a hundred likes. Durant changed his account and contributed a like. Then he stuffed his phone into his pocket and smiled slightly, hiding his merit and fame.

The fourth game between the Lakers and the Trail Blazers was still going on at the Moda Center. There were a lot fewer posters about Kobe in the auditorium. After all, if the home team loses again, they will go fishing. No matter how sentimental you are, you have to take care of the home team's emotions.

To the shock of TNT's management, Magic Johnson once again asked to be a guest commentator. The shock was nothing but shock. If there was such a good thing, a fool would refuse it. The commentary fee was doubled and all expenses were reimbursed.

The magician's partner in this game is Shaq O'Neal and General Stockton in the 600-jin combination.

The combination of these three is definitely the Rolls-Royce of commentary.

O'Neal looked very excited. The magician asked him why. He said that he had made a name for himself in the Lakers after all. Isn't it normal to be happy when seeing his team perform well?
Like O'Neal, the magician is a Lakers legend. Others don't understand, but he doesn't know.

O'Neill is happy because his old teammate is about to break through the first round after a few years.

Of course, if you don't tell the truth, O'Neill and Kobe are the kind of people who have a lot of face, and they will definitely not admit it.

The magician lowered his head and looked at the Lakers lineup. What does this arrogant shark do? If the Lakers can make it to the second round, it will further prove the team's potential. This is what he should pay attention to.

The atmosphere in the locker room of the home team is a bit dull. The head coach of the Blazers really doesn't know how to arrange tactics. At this stage of the series, even if the Cardinal is invited, it is estimated that there is nothing more to dig out in terms of tactics.

There is a hard power gap between the two teams, which cannot be made up with any novel tactics.

For example, who can defend Karl-Anthony Towns at the fourth position?
There is no one in the Trail Blazers who can defend against Towns, so the Lakers don't have to go through a lot of trouble, just grab the fourth position and fight to the death and it's over.

If Lillard and McCollum play well, maybe there is still a fight.

But Kobe and Yuan Qingshan's defense is impenetrable, and they would rather not attack but destroy your two guns. Based on this, the Blazers did not make a comeback.

The fourth game began with the roar of Lillard breaking the boat.

The Lakers have remained unchanged to respond to all changes, and still lock up the two guns on the defensive end, and focus on the twin towers on the offensive end.

In the second quarter, the Blazers couldn't stand it anymore, and the mentality of Lillard and McCollum exploded at the same time.

Literary youth McCollum has only one word in his mind: give up.

Since there is no way to get rid of Kobe anyway, his running is not so active. If he still can't get away after one lap, he will find a position on the weak side to stop and wait for his teammates to create opportunities.

The lone hero Lillard turned into a Portland lunatic after his mentality exploded, and he desperately attacked Yuan Qingshan.

Facing Yuan Qingshan was a series of non-tactical bursts of bombing. Before the intermission, he made 5 consecutive three-pointers against Yuan Qingshan at the top of the arc, but unfortunately only scored one.

The Lakers played a defensive counterattack relying on Whiteside's backcourt rebounds. Instead of being able to close the score, the Blazers fell behind by 14 points after a pass.

The head coach's eyes turned dark, and he seemed to hear a voice in his mind saying: Let's get out of class, let's get out of class...
