NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

Winning Game 4 of the series and successfully sweeping the opponent will undoubtedly have huge benefits for the Blazers.

The first is ample time to rest and adjust; the second is to better watch their opponents in the next round.

At this time, most of the first round of the series was also carried out.

In other group matches, the Cavaliers, like the Trail Blazers, were also swept 4-0 opponents. In the face of the three giants of James, Irving and Cousins, the Celtics cannot find a player who can limit him a little if James is rushing up.

In the entire series, the Cavaliers outscored their opponents by 9.3 points per game.

For the Eagles, it was tied 2:2 with the Nets at this time.

In the case of losing two games in a row, Daluo scored a large double-double of 22+13 in G3 against the Nets, and Thaddeus Young scored 18 points and 11 rebounds.

On the outside, Bojan Bogdanovic scored 19 points on 3 of 7 three-pointers, and singled Joe's 16 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.

This pulled the Nets back from the cliff where they were about to fall behind by a big score of 0:3.

In the G4 game, De Xiaopang, who played an ordinary game in the third game, scored 35 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds. With his own strength, he beat the eagle's outside line. Together with Da Luo, who had 26 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals, he helped The Nets pulled two innings in a row, making the series once again full of suspense.

In the case of Menglong losing one game first, he has chased three games in a row, and the Bucks are currently 3:1.

Facts have proved that as long as you don't meet James in the East, the trash brothers are still very tough.

Of course, the most thrilling and ups and downs matchups in the East have to be the following group.

The Bulls, who won one game first, made persistent efforts and returned to Chicago with a 2-0 lead. At that time, everyone thought that the Black Five drama was imperative.

As a result, in the G3 war, veteran Paul Pierce scored a two-point lore for the Bulls at a critical moment, and continued his life for the Wizards in time.

In Game 4, Wall, who had been in the doldrums for three games, finally woke up and remembered his identity as the leader of the Wizards. He went 8 of 16 in the game, and even the three-pointer, which he is usually not good at, also had a 50% shooting rate of 2 of 4. In the end, he scored 26 points, 17 assists, 1 rebound, 1 steal and 1 block. The super double-double data made everyone look stupid.

In the end, the total score of the series was tied at 2:2.

West side.

According to the gossip, the Mosaic team, who lost one game first, went back to Harden's room on the night that Howard took the initiative to go to Harden's room. No one knew what the two of them did that night.

But in G2, Howard scored a double-double of 28+12, and together with Harden, who scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists with the standard 20+5+5 data, held the home court.

In G3, Harden used a good shot of 42 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 steal, which not only helped the Mosaic team to chase two games in a row, but more importantly, he beat Kobe Bryant in the head-to-head match.

Kobe Bryant had only 21 points that night.

In G4, it was Kobe's turn to take the lead. He made 13 of 21 shots and scored 33 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal.

However, the Lakers still lost Game 4, trailing the Mosaic 1:3 in the series.

Not only because of Harden’s 24+5+5 and Howard’s 23+17, but more importantly, everyone saw the Lakers’ shortcomings, that is, Rondo at No. 1, who really has no offensive ability.

Once the main players of both sides are on the court, at some extreme moments, the Mosaic team will even give up the defense of Rondo and choose to double-team Kobe or Pau Gasol.

The change in strategy after G2 directly affected the different trends of the two sides in the last two games.

The Warriors, like Mosaic, also lead their opponents 3:1. The Spurs simply can't resist the Warriors' infinite pick-and-roll. The most reliable defender on the outside is only Leonard.

After all, Leonard is a single person and lacks skills, while the Splash Brothers are two people, and if one guards one, the other will be missed.

According to expert research, the Warriors may be the team that uses the most screens in the NBA's offensive system. They can always screen, be screened, and run back from each other in any group of combinations in every corner of the court, turning the court horizontally. The space works very well.

In fact, if it is just a simple pick-and-roll, the Spurs are also familiar with it. After all, the GDP trio is built to play the pick-and-roll itself to the extreme.

But the problem is that the Warriors' routines are more than once, and they have played the pick-and-roll response to the extreme. There are also many "extra passes" interspersed between various pick-and-rolls and various screens. When the three are combined, the Warriors' system is quickly linked.

In this way, once they are allowed to attack the climax, it will be wave after wave, and it will not stop at all!

Compared with the first three groups, the Clippers VS Grizzlies series is much more tormented.

After Paul carried a game in the first game, he quickly returned to normal.

In the face of the Grizzlies' stalking defense, the Clippers' Griffin and Jordan were completely useless, and the entire series was extremely aggrieved.

The two sides are currently 2:2, and the series is tied.

However, this will be cheaper for the Blazers who have already advanced in advance. Next, they only need to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and wait patiently for the Clippers and Grizzlies to decide the final winner.

...

At this time, the league announced the attribution of the three season awards.

The first is the selection of the best sixth man.

After the selection vote was announced, the Blazers' Beverley could only be ranked fourth, with 8.55% of the votes.

In front of him are Ke Lao Liu, who won 11.2% of the vote, Thomas Jr., who won 27.69% of the vote, and...

With 42.91% of the votes, Louis Williams, the Menglong team player who was elected this season's super six, was overwhelmingly elected!

That is the Lou Wei in the mouths of many fans later.

The second is the Most Improved Player Award.

This award has nothing to do with the Blazers. It was finally won by Jimmy Butler, who averaged 20 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.6 blocks per game this season.

After the voting results came out, he beat Drummond Green, Rudy Gobert, Hassan Whiteside and others with 47.18% of the votes.

No way, in terms of data growth, Jimmy Butler, first of all, scored nearly 7 points more than last season, and his shooting percentage also reached 46.2%, an increase of 6.5% over last season.

He was elected, and there was no objection from the outside world!

The final award is an award that, for a certain group, is no less than the regular season MVP in the player group.

That is the best coach of the season!

It stands to reason that the Blazers are the most promising team to win this award. After all, they created a new team history this year, and also ranked second in history, with 70 wins!

But what was unexpected was that in the end, head coach Buden Hozer of the Eagles was elected as the coach of the season by beating Letri Stotts and Steve Kerr of the Warriors.

After the results of the selection came out, it immediately attracted a lot of controversy.

You know, the Blazers became the second 70-win team in history this season!

No matter how bad it is, give it to Warriors coach Steve Kerr!

It is also quite revealing that he led the Warriors to the best record in team history with 65 wins in the first year of their debut.

Perhaps seeing that the public opinion disputes are getting bigger and bigger, the alliance quickly dispatched a high-level executive to give an explanation.

Whether it's Tristos or Kerr, the Blazers and Warriors led by them both entered the team last season, and all they've done this season is to take the team's record to the next level.

Although both teams have refreshed their opponents' regular season records, and also set many exciting winning streak moments during the regular season, as long as they are placed in many years, they will have a high probability of winning.

But this time, the two brothers and sisters met Budenholzer.

This season, the Eagles' record has climbed from 38 wins and 44 losses last season to 58 wins and 24 losses, with an increase of 20 wins, and the regular season winning rate has also increased from 46.3% to 70.7%.

When the league spoke out about the important selection factors for this year, the fans of the Trail Blazers and the Warriors were choked to the point of being speechless.

To say that Terry Stotts and Cole are unlucky enough, but in a year that can be called a god, they met Budenholzer directly, no matter how upset they were, they lost.

It's not that we are weak, but the other party has Gundam!

Beverley didn't get the super six, but he didn't get it.

well!

The coach's brush with the award was another blow to the Blazers' morale.

In the next few days, the Blazers players returned to Portland, while conducting simple training, while waiting for the second-round opponent to be released.

...

Time flies, it's May 3rd.

In the Eastern and Western playoffs this year, there was only one tie-breaker - Clippers VS Grizzlies.

No one could have imagined that the fierce collision between the two teams would last so long, and the winner must be fought until the last moment.

In the tiebreaker, the Clippers returned to the home court. They thought that they would have an easier battle today after they beat the Grizzlies 112:96 in the last game.

Unexpectedly, the trend of the game is like a microcosm of their entire series, and no one knows the winner until the last moment.

As soon as they got up, their captain Paul strained his leg and retired for treatment.

Then, in the cheers of the fans in the audience, Paul staged the most classic picture in his career - the return of the king!

With 9 of 12 shots, 5 of 6 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws to score 25 points, he also hit a quasi-lore in the last second of the game, helping the Clippers win this crucial game. the tiebreaker and advance to the semi-finals.

In this game, Paul, who was fighting with a leg injury, was absolutely worthy of a heart-pounding performance!

After the game, the excited Clippers owner Ballmer and his friends embraced passionately. Su Yu, a famous commentator on Tianchao Taiwan who was in charge of commentary that day, said bluntly:

"Sura Wushen"

"Anyway, this is the best Paul in 5 years!"

The Clippers' promotion is also an announcement that this season's playoffs have officially entered the second round.

The teams that successfully broke through the first-round series in the Eastern Conference were the Eagles, Cavaliers, Menglong and the Bulls. The Bulls eventually became the only team this season with a more tenacious defense.

The Blazers, Warriors, Mosaic, and Clippers have successfully broken through the Western side.

At the beginning of the season, the Lakers' introduction of Rondo was considered to be the most proud deal of the Lakers management this year.

Unexpectedly, in the playoffs, Rondo became a point of madness, and finally caused the Lakers to fall in the first round again.

It can be said that success is also Longdo, and defeat is also Longdo!

As soon as the Lakers were out, there was a conflict between Rondo and the Lakers management, whether it was a scapegoat or what?

The Lakers management must give a statement to the Lakers fans who have been looking forward to a season. Rondo, who was frequently emptied in the series but kept hammering, became the best candidate for the scapegoat.

At the same time, the Lakers also reported that they want to introduce a famous coach this summer.

Obviously, Byron Scott would be a good candidate if he was just obsessed with playing badly; but the Lakers leader Black Mamba's ambitions don't stop there. He also wants to take advantage of the last peak and rush. The sixth O'Brien Cup in his career.

After all, he still hasn't forgotten his original intention to enter the NBA, which is to chase the owner of a certain No. 23 jersey.

The regular season MVP is completely out of the question. He can no longer compete with the current young man, but he still has a lot of obsession with the number of championships.

Of course, it is precisely because of the paranoid character that Kobe and the Mamba spirit are created!

Soon, the roster for the four semifinals of the East and West came out.

East: Eagles VS Bulls, Cavaliers VS Menglong!

West: Blazers VS Clippers, Warriors VS Mosaic!

...

Portland, in Wang Zelin's villa.

He was lying on the sofa at this time, and Jenna sat on him and massaged his abdominal muscles.

To be honest, when he saw the knight facing Menglong~www.wuxiaspot.com~ he couldn't help but start a moment of silence for DeRozan.

He is here, he is here, he is here with eight years of compulsory education!

Poor Azan, about to usher in his first playoff matchup with James, is also the beginning of his nightmare.

Let's observe two minutes of silence for him!

Tick ​​tock! tick...

Well, two minutes have passed.

On the TV, the Clippers VS Grizzlies series highlights are being played.

In the end, it was the lore shot that helped the Clippers advance to the next round in Paul's season.

Looking at Paul's lore, he really did not expect that the restoration of history would be so powerful.

Although the Clippers are not facing the Spurs but the Grizzlies, the script remains the same.

However, this is also equivalent to proving in disguise that the 2014-2015 season's Brother Pao and the Clippers are real.

It's no wonder that many fans in later generations are sighing. If it weren't for the **** injury, 2015 would definitely be the most promising year for the Clippers to reach the top.

No matter how bad it is, Brother Pao can experience what it's like to touch the floor of the Western Finals years in advance.

But then again, loan championships seem to have always been a Clippers tradition.

From the era of Paul, Griffin, and Jordan, to the later days of Xiaoka and the pickle time, every key point is like hitting a ghost, and there will always be players injured.

Really want to compare, if the cursed city of Portland, why not the Clippers?

Big brother, don't say second brother, they are all unlucky!

Turning off the TV and focusing on massage exercises, Wang Zelin couldn't help but get excited when he thought that the next opponent was the Los Angeles Clippers, who had just experienced a boss injury, a fierce tiebreaker, and a tough promotion.

"Jie Jie Jie Jie!"

Suddenly there was a strange laugh from the villa.
