Super Lord of the Rings

After the game, Adelman attended a press conference with the players who performed well.

Adelman said: "I am very satisfied with the performance of the players. Some people say that we won very hard, which is true, but we advanced. This is victory."

Wang Jun expressed his thoughts: "The Mavericks are a very strong team, but we are even stronger. The NBA playoffs are so cruel. They can only work harder next year."

The reporter asked: "The Thunder eliminated the Grizzlies 4-2. Do you think they are a big threat?"

"I think they are not as good as the Mavericks. They have played four games in the regular season. In the next series, I believe LeBron will return to normal. He got bumped during training, but he didn't want to say it because he didn't want people to think he was soft. So... we are confident of advancing to the finals." Wang Jun said with a smile.

The reporters took photos together. Wang Jun broke some good news and planned to ask James about it later.

In fact, James was not injured. He just said this to show his dignity and found a way to get off. It's understandable that he didn't play well in this series. If he played well against the Thunder, he would have been injured and invincible.

James is a very vain person. He discussed with Wang Jun in the locker room, hoping to put in a few good words for him. Wang Jun agreed. It was not a big deal anyway.

NBA stars will use various methods to promote, and injuries are also a way to attract fans and increase their popularity.

For example, in 2001, the news about Allen Iverson included a dislocated right shoulder in December, a contusion on the left knee in January, pus in the left hip joint in March, a contusion on the tailbone in early April, bursitis in the right elbow in mid-April, and a contusion on the left knee in late May. Sacroiliac joint contusion.

Many of his injuries were not serious, and by June they were all healed here and there. If not, it was only six wounds. Then after entering the finals, the media publicized that, good guy, he was injured in 21 places, and he was playing with a burning little universe.

There is also a certain superstar who was eliminated this season. He often plays with injuries, especially when he loses and performs poorly. The media publicity is really an exaggeration, making fans feel that the bone spurs in his feet can pierce sneakers and knees. It was already rusty, the fingers were bent, the back was sore, the legs were cramped, and except for a pair of iron elbows, there were injuries everywhere.

However, no matter how severe the injury, he took the most shots in the team, taking 30 shots in a game without any pressure.

James admitted that he had a minor injury, which will not affect his appearance. He will definitely be in the news tomorrow.

His management team's goal was achieved, maintaining his image and striving for more economic benefits.

The second round of the Eastern Conference has already been decided.

The Heat swept the Magic 4-0. Bogut made Howard's statistics drop a lot, and there was also Howard's wonderful performance with a hat.

Magic No. 4 Ryan Anderson can shoot three-pointers, but except for range, he is inferior to Bosh in all aspects.

Carter is not as good as Wade on the outside, Turkoglu is not as good as before, and is guarded by Prince and Battier.

This summer, Howard will definitely have to make a transfer, and the Magic must find a way to find stars to assist him.

The Nets failed to continue their upset and lost to the Celtics 2-4.

Garnett did a great job guarding Randolph, Pierce taught Beasley how to behave, and the Nets had a slight advantage in other positions, so they won two games.

Beasley's playoff statistics dropped to 10.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 0.6 assists, and his playing time was shortened to 27 minutes. He is likely to be traded as a bargaining chip in the summer.

In the first game of the Eastern Conference finals, the Heat defeated the Celtics 103-87 at home and got off to a good start.

The Kings players have a day off before playing against the Thunder at home.

There was no war of words between the two sides before the game. The Kings players felt it was unnecessary. The Kings had the upper hand with 3 wins and 1 loss in the regular season. The young Thunder players put themselves in the position of challengers and did not talk big.

The Kings easily won the first game, and James regained his form and restrained Durant.

Since entering the league, when the two have faced off, Durant has often been at a disadvantage.

James is stronger, and his close defense can make it difficult for Durant to turn around. With his height and jumping, he can interfere with Durant's high-shooting jump shot.

It is much more difficult for Durant to guard James. He is actually about 210cm tall and weighs only 106 kilograms. Even though he has been gaining weight since entering the league, he is still much inferior to James.

Wang Jun's advantage against Sefolosha was even more obvious. The role player made a shot from the outside and the Kings offense was unstoppable.

In the second game, the Thunder turned Ibaka to defend James. James, who played 38 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, was much harder to beat.

James played behind him, and Ibaka defended very well. He was not at a disadvantage despite his height of 111 kilograms. James broke through, and Ibaka would not be easily passed by with his excellent physical fitness. He is worthy of being in the best defensive team.

However, Ibaka's strongest ability is blocking shots. If James is pulled to the outside, Ibaka's ability to help defend and block shots cannot be used.

Wang Jun singled out Aldridge in the counterattack, or hit mismatched shots after covering, and he could score. Sefolosha is the defensive type that Wang Jun hates. It is too difficult for Ade to guard against him.

The winner of this game was not decided until the last two minutes.

Westbrook missed three consecutive shots. In one round, he broke through for a layup and threw himself out of the baseline. The Kings seized the opportunity to counterattack, and Curry hit a three-pointer.

Durant shot well in this game, making 10 of 18 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 10 of 10 free throws, and scored 32 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists.

Westbrook was more tragic, making 3 of 15 shots, 9 of 11 free throws, 15 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 4 turnovers.

After the game, many fans were dissatisfied.

"Only Westbrook can guard Durant."

"The Thunder won without this undercover agent. He always doesn't pass the ball after the pick-and-roll. It's okay to let Aldridge shoot."

"Trade Westbrook for a guard who can shoot three-pointers and is more stable, and the Thunder will win the championship."

"Westbrook should come off the bench."

The unlucky Wei Shao often takes the blame. In fact, without him, the Thunder would not be able to play well. The backup point guard, whether Mills or veteran Derek Fisher, is too short and has poor defense.

Wei Shao's poor performance in the second game was because the defensive end consumed too much, and many offenses were launched from his point. Not only does he have to guard against Curry and Ray Allen's movements, he also has to guard against Yi Jianlian and Taj Gibson's cuts.

Durant's performance was not much better. He couldn't guard James well, and he couldn't guard Wang Jun well. In the end, the coach could only arrange for him to focus on Peja or Ray Allen, which liberated him on the offensive end.

On the defensive end, Durant is a jerk.

Comparing team leadership ability, Durant, the boss, is not as good as James, the second boss of the Kings.

James was as strong as a tank as soon as he entered the league, with point guard-level dribbling, master-level vision, and the league's top ball-handling breakthroughs. He was poor in shooting, off-ball movement, and critical moment choices.

As soon as Durant entered the league, he had a celestial spirit, with historic positioning, accurate shooting, and a big heart. He is poor at attacking with the ball, getting rid of the ball, defending and passing.

In terms of scoring ability alone, Durant is not inferior to James, but the gap is obvious in other aspects, including organizational awareness, vision, dribbling and passing connection, passing skills, single defense on the defensive end, rotation, supplementary position, and control of passing routes. etc. In these aspects, Durant is inferior.

The boss of the Thunder is just a scorer. Even if Durant is already a top five player in the league, he has not done enough to make his teammates better. He still has a lot to learn.
