Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 881 [The East is useless, fight the Thunder again]

At the press conference, Wang Jun praised Duncan and expressed his optimism about the Spurs' future.

"The Spurs trio is still very strong. They have potential young players Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard. They both have room for improvement. They will be even stronger in the future. Duncan played very well in this series. I just can't believe it. I can believe that a veteran can play this kind of game, he is a top-five super insider in the league."

The reporter asked: "Where do you think the King won?"

"Impact and defense. We have drive, toughness, and a lot of playoff experience."

Adelman focused on praising Battier. Even though he only averaged 7 points per game, he played 33 minutes in each game, took only 6.1 shots, averaged 1.8 three-pointers per game, and shot 38% from the field.

He is the kind of player who never takes a shot unless there is a good opportunity. His shots are almost always outside the three-point line. He stays in the bottom corner on the offensive end and tries his best on the defensive end.

Who doesn't like this kind of player? Just because he and Martin started the game, they didn't take many shots. One basketball was enough to score points.

There were not many controversial penalties in the game. The Kings' promotion was not questioned, and they won several games by big margins.

Other series have been decided one after another.

In the East, the Nets defeated the Bucks without Rose 4-1.

By winning a game, the Bucks have saved a little face. The biggest problem with Rose's absence is not the offense, but the defense. The substitute Udri is too far behind.

Except for Paul and Randolph, the Nets have average strength, and they have become the biggest dark horse this season.

As soon as Paul joined, he led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals. His popularity skyrocketed and he conquered the fans. Regardless of the outcome of this season, the Nets will have a bright future.

The Heat eliminated the Pacers 4-2.

Hibbert was selected as an All-Star this year. He is favored by many experts and praised by the media as a new generation super center.

As a result, against Bogut, Hibbert was defended and averaged 8.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. He could not enter the penalty area at all and his shooting percentage was only 45%.

In the worst third game, Hibbert didn't grab a single rebound or assist, and only scored 8 points. Chinese fans gave him a new nickname called "Gao Yuanyuan."

Hibbert is already 26 years old. It is unrealistic to insist that he has huge room for improvement like a shot.

Although the Heat entered the Eastern Conference Finals, their strength has not improved compared to last season. Even if they reach the Finals, it will be difficult to defeat the Western Conference teams.

As long as they lose, the disintegration of the "Big Three" is a foregone conclusion. Bogut is likely to be the first to be sent away. He can only defend now and his offense is getting worse.

The Thunder defeated the Grizzlies 4-3 in the most intense game.

Relying on home court advantage, the Thunder were able to pass the test, including Westbrook's life-saving mid-range shot in Game 5.

If Westbrook and Aldridge hadn't performed exceptionally well, the Thunder might have ended in defeat in 6 games.

The Grizzlies' defensive method has remained unchanged. The zone defense blocks the penalty area and protects rebounds. Tony Allen entangles Durant on the outside and Conley keeps an eye on Westbrook.

Both of them have excellent individual defense capabilities. Tony Allen made Durant lose four consecutive games.

He will use his body to get in front of his opponent to prevent the ball. After catching the ball, he will block Durant's kick, affecting the shot. He rarely makes dirty moves. He is a true defensive master.

Durant's true shooting percentage during the regular season reached 61%, ranking ninth in the league. However, in this year's playoffs, this number dropped to only 49.3%. In the first four games, his shooting percentage was only 38.8%. In the fourth game of sports, it was only 38.8%. A 5-for-21 shooting performance. If he hadn't made so many free throws, he would have been even worse.

Tony Allen's defense made Durant, who had just won the regular season MVP, very embarrassed.

In an interview with ESPN, Durant even admitted that Allen's defense has become a problem for him.

"I'm worried now when a guy comes out from behind and tries to block me. I have to stay focused around the basket and stay focused on my shot. I can't be on the court thinking about it and worrying too much. , I have to let my instincts take over the game."

Fortunately, Durant adjusted his mentality in the last game, hit a few key shots, led the team to eliminate the opponent, and increased his shooting percentage to over 40%. However, his overall data dropped from an astonishing 33 points in the first round to an average of 27.5 points per game.

Tony Allen is even more famous. Many teams regretted not discovering him back then. They joined the Grizzlies for 10 million in three years. Compared with what he did, it was too cheap.

The Kings rested for two more days, the players regained their strength, and the coaching staff had more time to study their opponents. They also watched the tiebreaker together.

The Thunder's strengths are as obvious as their weaknesses.

The players are young and energetic, with strong offensive power. Their weaknesses are the same as last season, with few tactics and over-reliance on the individual abilities of the stars. Except for the three young men from the Thunder, almost everyone else didn't take any action.

Ibaka, the team's No. 4 player and starter, only averaged 7.4 shots per game during the regular season. With this number of shots, he averaged 9.1 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, which is not a small amount.

Another weakness for the Thunder is head coach Scott Brooks.

Experts do not believe that Brooks owes the Thunder a championship, but he has exposed too many flaws in the regular season, making people question whether he is a championship coach.

You don't need to watch the game, just read the news comments to know that the coach is not good. When the Thunder won, it was because of the bravery of the third young master, but when they lost, it was because of the poor performance of the third young master. . No one mentioned Brooks, his presence is weak, and even many fans don't know who he is.

In the Western Conference Finals, a total of five All-Stars played on both sides, including former All-Stars like Ray Allen and Ibaka, the shot-blocking champion, who attracted much attention.

As for how the Eastern Heat and Nets will play out, not many fans care. Many people think that the Western Conference finals are the strongest showdown. No matter who wins in the Eastern Conference, they are just studying with the prince. It is good not to be swept.

Before the game, Wang Jun seemed extremely relaxed. He went to watch a riding basketball game with his friends and took a short video and posted it on YouTube.

This sport is a combination of rugby, basketball and equestrian. It integrates spectatorship, confrontation and competition. It originated in France in the 1970s.

An equestrian coach who has been engaged in rugby combined the game rules of basketball and rugby to create this equestrian basketball. Since then, horse basketball has spread across Europe from France and is now very popular in many European countries. Every year, there are major international competitions such as the European Cup, America's Cup, League Cup, and World Cup, and people in China also play it.

Although it is an unpopular sport, Wang Jun liked it very much, so he was invited to attend the kick-off ceremony.

As a local celebrity, he attracted applause and bursts of laughter from the audience as soon as he appeared.

The funny thing is that he couldn't ride a horse at all, so he chose a very small long-haired horse and rode it so hard that his legs almost touched the ground. And his shooting was particularly accurate, and he hit three consecutive shots in the first time he played.

After the video was released, it attracted many people to leave messages.

"If Wang Jun rides this horse in a competition and wins, his opponents will go crazy."

"No matter how famous he is, he is still funny at heart."

"What a poor pony, isn't this animal cruelty?"

No matter what, Wang Jun's mood was relaxed. He thinks there's no harm in doing something funny once in a while, but if you act serious all day long, it's too pretentious.

That night, Wang Jun flew to the away game with the team to prepare for the first game against the Thunder.
