I'm Really Playing Basketball Chapter 730

On May 7, 2013, the Western Conference semifinals between the Warriors and the Clippers officially started.

After Howard came to the Clippers, the changes in the Clippers can be said to be comprehensive.

Offensive and defensive ends are almost a comprehensive improvement.

No way, after all, it was Jordan who was directly replaced by Howard, and a sharpshooter named Ryan Anderson was added next to it.

Although Jordan's evaluation in the NBA is also very high now, most of everyone's evaluation of Jordan is the future. As for now, it must be Howard's strength is stronger.

Especially this is not the history of Howard with a serious back injury.

Therefore, many people say that in the Western Conference semifinals, Howard, who played 27+16 data against the Mavericks in the first round, is likely to play a super dominant performance against this group of young insiders from the Warriors.

And in this training game, the Clippers will easily defeat the Warriors to advance to the next round.

For such public opinion, the Warriors are very low-key.

As the real second in the regular season in the Western Conference, the Warriors were very underestimated after the playoffs, which is of course understandable.

But understanding is understanding. In the face of such doubts, who doesn't want to fight back?

Especially for this group of young players on the Warriors.

Therefore, Thick Eyebrows, Bill and Klay, Ibaka and others were all holding their breaths before this series started.

However, obviously, taking a sigh of relief is not necessarily a condition for success. At least, in the first game, the Clippers' center Howard is indeed unstoppable.

It can be expected that the thick eyebrows and Ibaka can't stop Howard, and the big Lopez, who is a little Yao Ming, can't stop Howard. This actually surprised the Warriors.

Because in the past, the matchup between Lopez and Howard suffered, but the disadvantage was not very big.

Let's just say, with the range of Big Lopez, it is not so easy for Howard to guard against Big Lopez.

Therefore, the past two fights are basically similar.

Of course, all the games of the Clippers and Warriors this season were played before Howard came, and Lopez has always been a substitute in the Bobcats, and there are not many opportunities against Howard.

So, this gives Cole some illusions.

The actual situation is that although Da Lopez's strength is very good, his height is much worse than that of Yao Ming. Howard is not so afraid of a powerful opponent like Da Lopez.

Howard can do crazy work on Big Lopez's head.

Howard had 16 rebounds in this game and 8 of them were offensive rebounds.

Big Lopez can be said to be robbed by Howard.

The defensive end was crushed and suppressed, and then the offensive end affected the efficiency. He missed the shot and challenged Howard to the basket. He did not have the height of Yao Ming. Yao Ming could use his height and strength and skills to madly suppress Howard.

But the disadvantage of Lopez's strength and skill without height is reflected again. Howard can block and defend him when he is attacking at the basket. In this regard, although he is a little Yao Ming, he is fundamentally different from Yao Ming.

This game finally proved that Xiao Yao Ming is still Xiao Yao Ming after all, not the real Yao Ming.

Howard's performance in this game can be called the top, the whole game 9 of 13, 12 of 16 free throws, the audience scored 30 points, 16 rebounds and 5 blocks.

It can be said that there is a sense of presence at both ends of the offense and defense.

By the way, Howard has always been inconsistent free throws, this season is very stable.

Howard's free throws have always been iron one season, quasi-one season, quite miraculous, this season has 65% free throw shooting rate, next season the free throw shooting rate can be reduced to about 50%.

And this season, Howard just happened to be the season with the highest free throw shooting rate. Whether it was playing against the Mavericks in the first round or against the Warriors in this game, he showed a very good free throw shooting rate.

Howard performed so well in this game, think the Clippers should have won this game, right?

However, it is not.

Although Howard blew the Warriors' inside line in this game, the final result was that the Warriors defeated the Clippers 124-116.

Because, in this game, the Warriors' perimeter exploded.

In this match, the three Splash brothers, Bill, Clay and Chen Xiao, completely voted.

In this game, when Klay swept the first round, he had a very bad three-pointer feel of less than 35%. In this game, he made 8 of 9 three-pointers and scored 30 points!

At this point in history, Clay faced the Spurs and scored 34 points on 8-of-9 3-pointers in the second round of the playoffs.

Time and space have changed, and in the face of the Clippers, whose defense is not as good as the Spurs, Klay still played his first playoff masterpiece in his career.

In addition to Klay, Chen Xiao made 5 of 9 three-pointers in this game, and scored 29 points, 8 rebounds and 17 assists in the whole game.

What is even more shocking than Klay is Bill, facing Chris Paul, one of the three strongest point guards in the league, and Bill, who was taught a lesson by Jordan in the last round, this game, facing Paul, actually exploded!

In this game, Bill made 9 of 17, 4 of 7 three-pointers, and 7 of 8 free throws. He also scored 29 points in the game. Not only that, he also had 3 steals in this game. There were 6 turnovers in this game!

Why does such an incredible situation occur?

Is this a miracle?

Actually this is not a miracle.

The biggest difference between Jordan and Paul is that Paul is a guard of 1.83 meters, while Jordan wears shoes that exceed 1.9 meters. In fact, Paul may not even have 1.83 meters.

And how tall is Bill?

Wear shoes 1.94 meters!

Although Bill's wingspan is not high, it is certainly not as powerful as Jordan's son, Jordan, but the wingspan of 2.03 meters is much higher than the wingspan of Xiaopao's 1.94 meters.

More importantly, Bill's shooting is really strong, you have to admit.

He has a strong shot, has an overall superior height and wingspan, and has strong skills. In the face of a small cannon that is at least 10 centimeters shorter than himself, do you think it is a miracle that Bill exploded?

In fact, historically, Beal has shot close to 50 percent of his 3-pointers against small guns, averaging 3.5 3-pointers per game.

This C gun value...

Although it is a bit worse than Delong, but...

Don't you think that Bill is actually very similar to Deron?

Of course, Deron has more power, and Beal has slightly less power, but more shooting ability.

In fact, Xiaopao has never been able to deal with opponents such as Deron and Bill who have height, strength, skills and shooting.

Against the rookie Bill this time, Xiaopao was pecked by Yan who was a little underestimated.

As the head player of the Clippers, he is also one of the three strongest point guards in the entire league. Although he was blown up by Bill this time, it was a big reason because he underestimated the enemy.

But obviously, such a defeat is definitely a huge blow to Xiaopao, and of course, it is also a huge blow to the Clippers.

Gu Qi, after all, Bill is just a rookie.

Under the circumstances of Howard's outstanding performance, the small cannon as the team's boss was actually blown up by a rookie. You say, with Howard's violent temper, can he stand it?

Of course it's unbearable.

So, after this game, Howard couldn't help but stare at the small cannon.

Of course, everyone knows that Howard is a little timid, so he just stared at him for a moment. After the face of Xiaopao was darkened, Howard dared not.

But in any case, the internal problems of the Clippers are still revealed.

Let's just put it this way, even without the fuse of this game, there are still undercurrents under the splendor of the Clippers.

First of all, is the boss of the Clippers, Paul or Howard?

More than the big name, of course, is Paul's bigger name, but Howard is not a person who lives below others.

And for Howard, his first choice has always been the Lakers, and he only came to the Clippers because the Lakers couldn't go to him.

For a team like the Clippers, Howard has never been very fond of him.

As for Paul, he took the Clippers from a belly to the top four in the Western Conference.

Although Xiaopao has never touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals with the Clippers, he has stably led the Clippers to the playoffs as the top four, and stably broke through the first round of the playoffs. This is for the Clippers. It was enough to satisfy them.

Therefore, from top to bottom, the Clippers never felt that Howard could replace Paul as the team's boss.

Therefore, Howard, a witty young man, knows this and is usually honest, but this time, he performed badly with the small cannon, and he performed well, so he dared to attack suddenly.

As the two leading players of the Clippers, the two stared at each other in the first game, which of course became one of the biggest topics in the entire playoffs.

In the rumor that the Clippers were about to fall into infighting, Chen Xiao and the Warriors players played three games in a row, and finally eliminated the Clippers 4-0 and reached the Eastern Conference finals.

This season, the Warriors have won 8 games in a row against the Clippers.

Clippers killer, well-deserved reputation.

Therefore, in fact, without the infighting between Howard and Paul, the Warriors should be able to easily advance in this series.

After Howard came to the Clippers, many people saw Howard's improvement on the Clippers' inside line, but did not predict how much the Warriors' outside line would be a dimensional blow to the Clippers.

Let's just say, playing against the Clippers, Bill averaged 22 points per game and 47% three-point shooting in these four games!

And Clay, this series is averaging 24 points, averaging 54% three-point shooting!

The Clippers' perimeter players, whether it's Cannon, Ryan Anderson or Bledsoe or others, can't stop the Warriors' perimeter splash brothers.

Under the leadership of the Warriors' Splash Brothers, the Warriors became the first team to reach the conference finals.

The second fastest team to reach the conference finals is the Eastern Bucks. The Eastern Bucks faced the Eastern fifth Bobcats and easily defeated the Bobcats 4-1.

Although the Bobcats' Rose performed well, and once again played a wonderful training match against Curry, Durant was the stabilizer of the game in this series. No one in the Bobcats could match him at all. At the critical moment, it became Durant's harvest time.

Don't look at the Bobcats losing 1-4, in fact, every game is only one point away.

And that's the most painful thing.

The third team to reach the conference finals was the Heat, the second-best team in the Eastern Conference. The Heat defeated the Cavaliers 4-2 and reached the finals.

In this series, Yao Ming once again proved that although he is indeed a little older than his peak, he is still the first center in the league even though he is 33 years old now.

Aside from the Oden-Yao matchup, the most shocking matchup in this series is actually the matchup between James and Paul George.

Before the start of this series, many people said that James did not have any Heat players who could manage this series.

James will be a flashpoint in this series.

Anthony couldn't resist James' onslaught.

But as the series kicked off, Rick Carlisle showed everyone his solution.

Use Paul George to defend James alone, and then there is Yao Ming inside, you can let James go to the basket.

With the cooperation of Paul George and Yao Ming, James averaged only 30 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per game in this series, shooting 51% from the field, 44% from three-pointers, and 2.5 three-pointers per game per game. point.

At first glance, this stat from James looks explosive.

At first glance, it looks like Paul George was blown away by James.

However, in fact, James has not scored 40 points in a game in this series, and the highest score in a game is only 36!

In the case of Oden being pinched by Yao Ming, James needs to hit the explosive point. Otherwise, he can only rely on the third leader Conley to blow up Wade, or the team's two role players Danny Green and Matthews.

It's just that, obviously, that's not going to work.

Perhaps in the case that Oden can be evenly matched with Yao Ming, James's data is enough.

However, when Oden was pinched by Yao Ming, James's data was definitely not enough.

What's more, in addition to limiting James, Paul George can also average 19.5 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game in this series, while shooting 44% from three-pointers and 48% from the field. UU reading www.uukanshu.com has He can even compete with James in two games. You know, he is only the fourth leader of the Heat.

Anthony, Wade and Yao Ming on the head!

When the fourth leader of your team can match the opponent's leader for two games without losing, the morale blow to the Cavaliers is also quite huge.

It can only be said that this Heat is really invincible in a positional battle. The Cavaliers, which is known as the strongest positional battle team in the interior, felt very desperate when they fought a positional battle with the Heat.

In the semifinals of the division, the last team to reach the final was the Spurs.

The Spurs-Lakers scrimmage was the only series to reach a Game 7.

The Lakers and Spurs have been the biggest rivalry in the West over the past decade.

The Lakers have the Gasol brothers and have an inside edge, while the Spurs have Wheat, Roger and Kawhi Leonard and have an outside edge.

Let's just put it this way, Maizi, Leonard and Roger, the three of them stretched out their long arms, even if the Boss Ke shivered.

Of course, the Lakers are not weak on the outside, just like the Spurs are not weak on the inside.

So the two teams fought to the end, and the Lakers finally collapsed in the tiebreaker due to lack of physical strength.

At this point, the Warriors' idea of expecting to beat the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals has completely failed.

The Warriors' opponent in the Western Conference finals will be the Spurs, who have not been able to win a game in the regular season.

There is no doubt that the Spurs are the Warriors' biggest nemesis in the Western Conference this season.
