I am Really an Insider

Chapter 503 No one in the 500 West looks human, so-called tough guy. (5.9K votes requested)

Eastern Conference semifinals, Heat VS Nets.

It made James deeply realize that it is a bit too early for him to consider the finals now.

In the final 33 seconds of the game, the Heat only led by 5 points.

Deron faced Bibby, whose defense was almost equal to air, and easily broke through.

Wayne was watching the game at this time because he was curious whether Mousse could break out of the Eastern Conference.

Wayne was really convinced when he saw that Bibi was once again as clean as the road in the morning.

Bibby's defense is better than Laoyu's.

Play the role of Mamba.

Wayne's deepest impression of Bibby was that he turned himself into a devilish muscleman after retiring.

Well, most stars will become fat after retiring, and Yao Ming can become fat enough to become a female star.

But Bibby did the opposite. After retiring, he made his muscles even bigger.

Therefore, it gives people the illusion that "with this body, he must be very good at defense as a player."

But in fact, Bibby's defense during his time with the Heat has reached the point where anyone can play.

He and Lao Yu are in the first position, and they can be called the two black holes in the east and west.

As soon as Delong broke through, Wei had to double-team him.

As soon as younger brother Wei double-teams, old Carter will get a chance.

Deron did not take credit and passed the ball back to Carter very resolutely.

The 34-year-old Carter has lost his aura as one of the top four shooting guards.

After all these years, Carter has never received any substantial honors.

In the words of a famous cross talk actor Stephen Whale: Carter is a third-rate star.

I wonder if Carter now regrets rejecting Wayne's invitation.

At that time, Carter still had some energy. As a player who entered the industry in the 1990s, and as a former top four shooting guard, he has his own persistence and character.

He wants to win the championship on his own.

But what now? He was just giving Deron a hand.

But if you want to shoot three-pointers at critical moments, you have to look to Uncle Carter.

Deron's pass was very fast. Wei thought he could get back to Carter the moment Deron passed the ball, but it was obvious that he underestimated the tacit understanding between the two.

Carter caught the ball and shot. At that time, Wei felt a chill on his back.

Old Carter didn't waste Deron's pass and made a long shot into the net!

Di Wei paid the price for his error in judgment.

The basketball scored, and the Nets are now only 2 points behind.

At the critical moment, Mous hit a mid-range shot and gave the Nets a chance to kill!

It's a pity that Deron failed to grasp the last three-pointer, and the Heat narrowly defeated the Nets with a weak 2-point advantage.

Although they won the game, the Big Three were all in a cold sweat.

An old comrade like Carter still has the evil desire to win the championship.

How dangerous!

Are all the teams in the Eastern Conference this bad now?

If Carter continues to shoot the last ball, the consequences will be disastrous.

The three giants all let out a sigh of relief. Although the process was a bit thrilling, a loss was a win.

But there’s no telling whether I’ll have such good luck next time.

The Big Three were all very depressed, as if they were the ones who lost.

The main reason is that the performance of this game is so different from the original fantasy!

When the Big Three were first formed, the reason why Mousse said it was either one, two or three was because he felt that this lineup was already invincible in the league.

Three stars in their prime, even if they take turns playing singles, and one person dominates a quarter and a half, they can kill people.

But once the playoffs started, it was completely different than expected.

Mous still feels that the playoffs are very difficult to play, and Mous is not sure of winning with the Lakers and Trail Blazers in the West.

The shortcomings of the team's lineup are obvious, and the fifth and first positions are weak.

It’s so difficult to beat the Nets now, but how can we fix it in the future?

After the interview, Mouss quickly walked back to the locker room and looked at the results of the game between the Mavericks and the Grizzlies.

Then, Mousse shut up again.

The Mavericks faced the defensive meat grinder Grizzlies and actually scored 123 points!

Among them, Dirk scored 48 points alone!

You know, in the last round of the series, the San Antonio Spurs were hacked. Duncan faced the Black and White Bears, averaging only 12.7 points per game and shooting 47% from the field.

And Dirk faced the Black and White Bears today and scored 48 points with a shooting rate of 80%!

Wayne was so fake yesterday that he only scored 40 points.

For you Western Conference forwards, is 40 points considered a standard now?

"This can't be possible!" Mousse was puzzled, with little question marks on his head.

So he looked at Dirk's detailed data.

48 points, but not a single three-pointer.

All of Dirk's shots were within the three-point line. Logically speaking, facing the Grizzlies' extremely aggressive defense, he shouldn't have scored so many points with two points.

When he saw the free throw column, Mousse knew he was young.

This is not a two-point gouge. The grizzly bear was cut to death with a one-point knife!

Dirk made 24 free throws today. The Grizzlies were really trying to pull him away, and they would rather foul him than let him take an easy shot.

But all the rural boys in Tennessee never imagined that Dirk actually made 24 of 24 free throws!

This is the second time in this year's playoffs that Dirk made more than 20 free throws in a single game and made 100% of his free throws!

No matter how you foul, no matter how you fight, Dirk's touch will never get worse.

"I'll go, isn't this the ultimate trick I used to kill the calf?" Di Wei couldn't help but sigh as he came to Mu Si's side.

When did Dirk learn his Yifenyu skill?

In the 2006 Finals, the Heat VS the Mavericks, Wade averaged 16.2 free throws per game, which was terrifying.

But Wei's average free throw shooting rate per game is only 77%. Even so, it is enough to help the Heat change their fate.

Dirk's free throw shooting percentage since the start of the playoffs is 91%.

This is worse than going against the will of heaven.

Whoever encounters such an experienced driver will not be confused.

If you let him take free throws, you're giving away points.

But if you don't defend him roughly, you'll still lose points.

Yesterday, I just experienced the fight between Wayne and the nagging fairy.

Today, Dirk did it again.

As for Mouss, he only narrowly won against the Nets.

Mousse swallowed, feeling bad.

None of you in the west look human!

Mousse started to get anxious. If the Big Three couldn't win the championship, it wouldn't be a joke to others.

Mousse felt that he had gone from one dead end to another.

Far away in Los Angeles, Naochi was receiving a massage from a physical therapist.

For tomorrow's game, he must make sure everything is fine physically.

Next to Na Na, Yao Ming was also being massaged.

They had only played one game in the Western Conference semifinals, and their bodies were already very exhausted.

After pressing the button, Yao Ming started chatting with Naochi: "Come to think of it, you are the oldest player on the best defensive team this year."

"Yeah. Forget about Yao, why don't you talk to me about something happy?"

Kobe smiled and shook his head. Earlier today, the NBA officially announced the results of the best defensive team.

The five players on the best defensive team are Ronaldo, Kobe, Mousse, Wayne and Howard.

The best defensive second team is Paul, Tony, Iguodala, Hardy and Tyson Chandler.

If Paul is still with the Trail Blazers, the Trail Blazers will have three more players selected for the defense this year.

In the best defensive team, there is only one born in the 1970s, which makes people feel sour.

This league has begun to be gradually dominated by players who entered the industry after 2000.

Although Nao Nai doesn't want to accept old age, the world reminds him all the time: "You are really old."

Yes, there are some things that cannot be ignored.

Just like my own body.

As a physical monster, I would never have been so exhausted in the second round.

His knee feels like it hasn't fully recovered yet.

Dragging his knees that were already struggling to exert force, Nao Nai actually had no idea how he would survive the next two rounds.

Kobe looked at Yao Ming again. As long as you took good care of Yao Ming in the regular season, he could still play from beginning to end in the playoffs.

But now Yao Ming feels like he has reached his limit after just one game in the second round.

The deterioration of your body will not be merciful just because you refuse to accept old age.

Nagging eyes looked forward firmly, and his knuckles turned white from clenching.

It must be decided quickly, and we must not wait until the end with the Trail Blazers.

While you still have the strength, you must fight quickly!

Because he knows very well that with his current knee condition, the longer the game drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be.

Nao Nai must give it a try!

On May 3, the Trail Blazers-Lakers Western Conference Semifinals G2 continued at Staples.

The ratings of today's game were very high from the beginning. The just-concluded G1 whetted the fans' appetite. No one wanted to miss any shot of this game.

The game did not disappoint the fans. The second game of the series was as rough and intense as the first game.

Different from the first game, the role players of both teams have begun to adapt to this rhythm and performed well.

For example, Laoyu made 4 three-pointers in today's game.

O'Dangdang didn't give in too much today. He took advantage of Wayne's double-teaming on Yao Ming and succeeded in many mid-range jumpers.

The reason why Wayne frequently double-teams Yao Ming is because Chairman Yao was extremely lethal under the basket today!

For the Trail Blazers, Wu Sheng did not break his promise. He worked hard to score 18 points today, humiliating Artest.

Matthews, who came off the bench, also played his playoff masterpiece, scoring 19 points on 4 of 6 three-pointers.

Of course, there is also match-fixing, which has become a reserved item in this series.

Only this time, the nagging holiday came to an end.

At the last moment of the game, Nachi broke through Tony and then took off for a layup.

This time Wayne just made a defense to the basket, and he personally started a head-on duel with Najia.

Naturally, Nachai's current jumping height would not allow him to directly fight with Wayne in the air.

Facing Wayne's block, he first took the basketball back, then turned his back to the basket in the air, and finally looked back at the moon!

Even Wayne, as the DPOY, can't stop this kind of cool operation.

A pull-up layup allowed the Lakers to widen the point difference to 5 points. This point difference was ultimately maintained by the Lakers until the end.

98 to 93, Kobe Bryant scored 36 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists in a single game to help the Lakers win the game.

The total score of the series became 1-1.

Kobe was very excited on the offensive end today, and basically took over everything at the last moment.

In G3, the game returned to Portland, but the Trail Blazers did not take the lead again, but suffered their second loss!

In today's game, Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant scored 66 points together, opening up the offense inside and outside.

The two of them really worked hard today, and they used their actions to explain what a veteran's final stubbornness is.

The scene that touched Wayne the most occurred in the tenth minute of the fourth quarter. As soon as Yao Ming received the basketball, Gasol shot it away.

Since the ball hit Yao Ming's leg, if it went out of bounds, the Blazers would have the ball.

So, Yao Ming made a very rare move and dived directly to save the ball.

For such a big player to dive out to save the ball, it requires great determination and courage.

The last time Wayne saw Yao Ming save a ball like this was in the 2008 Summer Olympics.

That year, Yao Ming could give up everything for the Olympics.

Now, he seems to have returned to that state.

Yao Ming retrieved the ball and it fell into Kobe's hands.

Then, Yao Ming, who fell heavily into the crowd, ignored the pain and supported his huge body as quickly as possible, got up again, and ran back to the court.

As soon as he ran back, he received a pass from Lao Yu.

Without pausing, Yao Ming turned over and made a jump shot, and the attack was successful!

From saving to falling, from getting up to scoring, Yao Ming did it all in one go.

It doesn't seem like much at first glance, but it's really not easy for him to perform this series of actions with his body.

He really tried his best!

After the goal was scored, Yao Ming limped and ran two steps. But soon, he stamped his feet and continued to support himself in the Lakers penalty area with open arms.

He knew that he must not fall!

Seeing this scene, Wayne was both impressed and worried.

The so-called tough guy does not necessarily mean defeating the opponent with gorgeous moves.

But the pain in his knees was so severe that he could hardly stand, but he still stood there with his hands open and his face expressionless.

The struggle of eager to defeat the opponent but unwilling to see the opponent lose finally appeared.

Wayne also scored 35 points in this game, but the combined firepower of taking drugs and scoring 66 points was too strong, and the Trail Blazers lost the game by 4 points.

The total score is 2 to 1, and the Lakers came from behind to seize the opportunity!

This kind of fighting spirit happened to the Lakers and also happened to the Trail Blazers.

Series G4, for the Trail Blazers, this is a life-or-death game.

If the Lakers get the match point, the game will be difficult to play.

Today, Wayne finally gave a speech in the locker room.

"Is the NBA a talent game? Yes and no.

Globally, the NBA is a game of talent.

But within the NBA, the NBA is not a game of talent.

Because everyone has talent, talent is not a scarce commodity in this league.

Talented players are not necessarily winners.

Who is the winner?

Hardworking player!

We work hard and fight hard. Trying to get every rebound, trying to get every ball on the floor.

As long as we all do it, we are winners! "

Wayne's encouragement seemed to restore the Blazers to factory settings, making everyone forget the previous two consecutive losses and making everyone high-spirited.

In G4 of the series, the Trail Blazers fought against the odds.

Wayne scored 8 points in a row as soon as he started, setting a good example for his teammates.

Subsequently, Curry hit two consecutive three-pointers to open the score!

Today, Curry found that Kobe's defense was not as tight as the previous three games.

It's not that Kobe doesn't want to be tight, it's that his physical fitness is not as strong as before.

After that, Wayne and Curry almost dominated the Blazers' offense.

At the end of the first half, the Trail Blazers led by 8 points!

But as usual, the tough Lakers were not killed.

In the second half, Artest scored the ball with Wu Sheng on his body.

Yao Ming beat his sister-in-law under the basket to score 2+1.

Kobe dragged his sore knees and forced himself to the frame again and again.

He can no longer dunk. Several times Kobe tried to dunk, but they all ended in failure and he could only get the chance to go to the line and make free throws.

The Lakers gradually recovered the score, but with the firepower of Wayne and Curry, the Lakers were never able to tie the score.

In the tenth minute of the fourth quarter, Curry missed a shot from beyond the three-point line and a long rebound popped up. Kobe and Tony jumped up at the same time and collided violently in the air, but they still managed to catch the ball.

After landing, Kobe's center of gravity was unstable. He propped up the ground with his hands, and then accelerated his counterattack!

Everyone in the Trail Blazers quickly pursued the defense, and the most active one among them was the one covered in colorful feathers.

Chris Anderson, although he doesn't play much, is undoubtedly one of the most active players in this series.

Whenever he appears, he can immediately unleash his passion.

The Birdman knew that if Kobe scored this goal, the Lakers would equalize the score.

So, he chased desperately, chased desperately.

No matter what, we cannot let the balance of victory tilt towards the opponent.

He had nothing, but Portland took him in.

He was useless, but in Portland he won a championship.

This team allowed him to complete his redemption, so he is willing to dedicate everything to this team.

Kobe took off for a layup, but his knees softened at the moment he took off, and he didn't exert enough force - he had reached his limit!

Just as he jumped up, a big bird came from behind Kobe. He leaned forward desperately and slapped the basketball away from Kobe's hand.

"The shot is completed, Chris Anderson! This is a completely suicidal shot!" Mike Breen couldn't help but close his eyes after shouting.

That's right, a suicide block.

Because Birdman was chasing so hard, he had completely lost his center of gravity in the air.

He fell hard, and the basketball hit the backboard hard, rebounding into the hands of Wayne who was actively chasing after him.

After Wayne got the basketball, he immediately counterattacked, another counterattack!

When Wayne penetrated the three-point line, all three members of the Lakers surrounded Wayne!

Wayne took a European step and then took off from the side of the basket for a floater.

When he jumped, Yao Ming, Odom and Artest were all beside him.

Surrounded by three people, Wayne leaned back slightly, picked up the basketball with one hand and threw it.

Because the backward angle was too large, Wayne fell directly to the ground.

Again, it happens almost every round.

The basketball passed over the fingertips of the Lakers players, circled around the rim and then fell into the net.

"boom!"

Kobe never deceived me! What an opportunity for three people to double-team!

At that moment, all the fans in the Rose Garden stood up.

Wayne's goal allowed the Trail Blazers to open the score again, allowing the Trail Blazers to continue to have the advantage!

When Wayne scored, Mike Breen shouted loudly: "This is a desperate goal!"

Desperate, really desperate.

The three of them were stunned and unaware.

Wayne quickly got up after scoring, ready to high-five the Birdman who had just finished chasing the ball.

If it weren't for the birdman's sacrifice of his life, there wouldn't be this counterattack.

but.

"Fuck!" Wayne's smile stopped suddenly, because Birdman was still lying near the opposite baseline with his hands covering his knees.

When Wayne arrived, Birdman was lying on the floor, staring blankly at the ceiling.

It wasn't until he saw Wayne that Bird gradually shifted his gaze.

"Did that goal just go in?"

"In, how are you?" Wayne squatted next to Birdman. On the bench, Jordan, who was closest to Birdman, covered his mouth and stood up.

"Me? I'm done, Wei, I can feel it. When I just landed, my knees clicked. Birdman landed, Wei."

"Fuck, don't say that."

"Listen to me first, brother." Birdman quickly interrupted Wayne, then put a hand on Wayne's shoulder.

"Take my wings and fly, don't care if I wander in the future. There's not much I can do, this is all I can do for the championship, Wei."

After saying that, the team doctor arrived and put the birdman on a stretcher.

The so-called tough guy is one who doesn't turn around when encountering a wall, but knocks it down.

"Bang!" Wayne punched the wooden floor. Curry was about to call Wayne, but after seeing a few drops of water on the wooden floor, he stepped back.

Curry didn't have to know if it was sweat or tears.

After Birdman was injured, Wayne scored 9 points on 4-of-5 shooting in the last 2 minutes and blocked a shot against Yao Ming.

In the end, he helped the Trail Blazers securely win 107-99 at home!

Wayne scored 41 points in the game - scoring 40 points for the second time in the Western Conference semifinals.

Curry's performance also improved, scoring 27 points - the highest score in his career against Kobe in the playoffs.

It can be said that Birdman's risk-taking shot suppressed the Lakers who were about to gain momentum and paved the way for the Blazers' victory.

In the last game, Yao Ming endured the pain in his knee until the end.

In this game, Birdman is desperate for victory.

Both sides gave everything they had to win, and this was the brutal Western Conference semifinals.

The determination of both sides cannot be broken.

The only way to win is for one side to fall completely.

2-2, the Trail Blazers equalized the score and escaped from death without letting the Lakers get the match point.

In an interview after the game, Wayne didn't smile. He couldn't laugh.

When reporters asked him what he thought about Anderson's injury, Wayne shook his head.

"Retired from injury? No, Birdman is still flying."

Then, Wayne imitated Anderson's move, spread his arms, and ran towards the tunnel.

Take his wings and continue to fly.
