Legend of Tomorrow

The Lakers swept the Pelicans 4-0 cleanly in the second round, and the process was not much harder than the Thunder.

The Pelican coaching staff racked their brains and could n’t think of a way to limit Durant ’s and Guo Xu ’s play. The Lakers defensively had a way to limit the Pelicans ’three All-Stars.

Lakers coach Tyrone Lu and female assistant Becky Harmon once again showed their abilities, they are not pure puppet coaches, and occasionally can come up with some good ideas.

Is also a man-to-man defensive tactic. A little change will work. The coaching staff has Adams defending Anthony Davis and Horford defending Cousins, which reduces the efficiency of the two.

Davis is a power forward who likes to attack from a low position. The shot near the rim takes a large proportion, and he hardly shoots three points. Adams can resist him and promise to interfere with the shot in front of him. As long as Adams controlled his hit rate to about 50%, the task was completed, and below 50% was a surprise.

Cousins ​​is nominally a center. In fact, he likes to pull out the frame to attack and to shoot long and medium distance. He averaged 5.6 three-pointers per game during the regular season, hitting 2.1 goals and a 37.5% field goal percentage. His three-point attempts and hits both reached a career high.

When Cousins ​​gets the ball from the perimeter, Horford is more mobile and can go out to interfere. When Cousins ​​hits the rim, Adams and Horford will retreat together, and Davis will pull the shot to secure the defense in the restricted area.

If the Pelicans attack the restricted area, Durant will also retract. The three big men will defend the penalty area together, forcing the Pelicans to pull out and make more shots in the inefficient area.

Successful defensive strategy, coupled with the suppression of outside stars, the Pelicans have little chance of winning unless the Lakers players collectively miss the outside shot.

The Warriors eliminated the Spurs 4 to 1, and the West Lakers will compete.

Last year, there were many people who supported the Warriors. This year they were rejected by Pachulia and Green as villains. Some people even dislike Stephen Curry, saying that Curry spit out his braces, and it was disgusting.

In the second round of the Eastern Conference, there was no victory or defeat. The game was very fierce. Both series were 3-2, leading the Bucks and 76ers. Experts predict that there will likely be two more tie-breaks in the East. The strength of the four teams is close, and there is no absolute advantage.

The two top two western countries received a lot of rest time. Guo Xu coaxed his children to go out at home and felt bored.

Usually at this time, all the awards of the regular season should be announced, but this year Xiao Hua adjusted the awarding time. After the draft conference, a regular season award ceremony will be held on June 27.

Xiao Hua’s original intention was probably that the regular season mvp should not be issued in a hurry during the playoffs in May. It should be more elegant, just like the Oscars. He wanted to “bleach” nba, a sports league with an absolute majority of black people, so that it would be embraced by the middle class and sports fans all over the world.

He wanted to prove to people with a big show that black players don’t just say Shet, Fack. They can also be very elegant, and they can also be accepted by more elites.

It is a pity that late justice is not justice, and late awards are not awards. Because the fans all know what the winning star did in the playoffs, they saw the finale and could not take the loser as a strong player.

The previous process is like a summary for the regular season, the winning players can use this to improve the morale of the team. now what? After the announcement of the finals mvp, the biggest winner of the season is clear. Who cares who performed best in the regular season two and a half months ago?

At that time, everyone began to pay attention to the draft, and then signed in the offseason, by the way, waiting to watch the summer league. Xiao Hua popped out a very mysterious look. “Attention everyone, please look back at the regular season awards, we have major awards to be announced!”

Guo Xu’s thoughts are very similar to Stephen Week in “God Eater”. NBA’s awards ceremony was like putting a tofu carved golden buddha costume in front of him. The material of this vegetarian dish is varied, the knife is delicate, the shape is outstanding, and even the most difficult tofu can be carved very delicately.

“How long have you carved?”

“Carved a day.”

“Then you are really diao, it smells stinky, did you smell it?”

The brain-dead Xiao Hua didn’t realize how stinky the awards ceremony was, nor did he consider the emotions of the awardees. The eliminated stars in the playoffs are probably too lazy to attend the **** awards ceremony.

Only do not know the result, while the playoffs are still in progress, the players can express their gratitude when they receive the award.

For example, in the parallel world in 2008, Bryant took the regular season mvp and excitedly made a speech. However, the Celtics led by Pierce in the finals was overturned, and the game was obviously a little more exciting. The media will publish news that Pierce beat the best player with an injury to get fmvp, wonderful!

Following Xiao Hua’s path, the legendary topic that could have appeared disappeared. Xiao Hua does not ask the opinions of players, fans, and the media. He thinks his ideas are the most powerful.

Before the start of the Western Conference, the reporter interviewed the players from both sides. The Warriors have no confidence in the elimination of the Lakers. Their goal is just to defeat the Lakers in the Western Conference to prevent them from winning the season and create a historical record that can never be broken.

As long as they win the next game, the Warriors can also make a name in history, at least they have defeated the strongest team led by the nba’s strongest star this season.

During the break, the Warriors coaching staff carefully studied every detail of the Lakers tactics and tried to find out the weaknesses. The players are all training hard, striving for the best match in the Western Conference.

The two series in the east were divided later.

The 76ers eliminated the Wizards 4-2.

Kenba Walker and John Wall “hit the ball”, shooting less than 40%, poor performance. When the media reported the game, they compared them with Guo Xu, thinking that these point guards are not like stars.

The Wizards lost because of a misalignment on the perimeter. Bill shot only 28.7% from the series, not as good as Wall. The team’s three-point shooting rate of Kevin Love is reliable, as high as 45%, averaging 2.8 goals per game.

However, because of Love as an inside player, the overall shooting percentage is only ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Yuan Xun played two-pointer Nurkic, and a group of fans said after the Wizards were eliminated, “Love is undercover”. Carrefour said he would go away this summer, he had enough.

The 76ers’ best performance is center Jokic. He is like a big point guard who pulls out to play pick-and-roll and organizes offense. The shot is very stable, and he can occasionally make three points.

DeAndre Jordan is lying down. No one thinks he is a star center. Last season, he was a blue collar who suppressed real stars, only knowing to rebound.

The Bucks eliminated the Raptors 4-3.

Lillard made 10 of 23 shots, 4 of 13 3-pointers, 7 of 7 free throws, and 31 points and 4 assists. The shooting percentage of the entire series has just reached 40%. The Bucks point guard Bredsoe series had only 13.3 points and 4 assists, because the 45% shooting rate was blown up by the fans.

The Robertson defender George, who was traded from the Lakers, was also very successful. There were three games that made George’s shooting percentage below 40%. Although his data is bad, he should get a good contract in the summer.

Experts are generally optimistic about the 76ers to reach the finals in the Eastern Breakout, the reason is that Jokic is better than Joel Embiid.

Embiid averaged 21.6 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 3 assists in the playoffs. His shooting percentage dropped to 43.5%, his three-point percentage was 27.6%, and his free throws were only 70.5%. His efficiency was greatly reduced.

Jokic looks like a fat man, but his tactical role is obvious, he can lead the team to attack.
