1336.Yao Ming's Retirement (3rd Update)
On the Mavericks' side, Conley played the best playoff performance of his career tonight, with 38 points, 9 assists and 3 steals, plus Yao Ming with 17 points and 9 boards, Nowitzki with 20 points and 6 boards, and Chandler with 8 points and 14 boards.
However, after Kobe Bryant shot 2+1 in a steal counterattack with 44 seconds left to stretch the difference to more than 5 points, the Lakers sealed the victory.
7 of 14 shots, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, plus 7 free throws, Kobe Bryant got 22 points, 8 boards, 2 assists, 3 blocks and 4 steals, and under the strong performance of Jamison with 20 points and 6 boards, Josh Smith with 17 points, 15 boards and 3 blocks, Paul with 11 points and 14 assists, and Leonard with 16 points and 6 boards, the Lakers defeated the Mavericks 113-106 at home and won the battle of Tianwang Mountain!
In a very beautiful offensive battle, Sun Ce obviously saw that these two teams were much stronger than most teams in terms of technical and tactical literacy.
Especially the Mavericks, although their role players have a good offense, the core lineup is much inferior to the Lakers, Yao Ming and Nowitzki are still declining, but they still rely on team cooperation and the Lakers have just reached the end.
However, the Lakers also played well, Kobe Bryant invested on the defensive end and reduced the role on the offensive end, but instead took advantage of his threat of averaging 33 points per game in the first four games, so that role players such as Jamison and Leonard had better scoring opportunities.
"Facing the Lakers in the Western Conference again? It's hard...... Let's find a way to deal with the Spurs first, this team is more difficult to ......"
……
……
The Lakers won the battle of Tianwang Mountain and got the match point, and the Spurs also found a way to deal with the current Warriors, in the subsequent games, Curry, who averaged 28.5 points per game in the first four games, was prevented from shooting 3 of 15 and scored only 9 points, and the Warriors only scored 4 three-pointers and 4 of 20 shots.
On the contrary, on the Spurs' side, they shot 10 of 21 three-pointers, and the Spurs defeated the Warriors 109-90 and easily won the battle of Tianwang Mountain.
The difference in strength is still quite obvious, Duncan scored 17 points and 10 boards on 5-of-5 shooting, Gay scored 25 points, Parker had 13 points and 10 assists, and Dior had 6 points, 6 boards and 6 assists......
The young and vigorous Warriors were fiercely educated by the Spurs this time.
In another series, the Cavaliers narrowly defeated the Hawks 113-110 to advance to the second round! Iguodala missed a three-pointer to equalize and the Hawks went out in the first round.
The Lakers and the Spurs won, there is a high probability that they will advance, Sun Ce is not surprised, just sorry for Yao Ming, before the start of the playoffs, Yao Ming has said that he will retire after this season, and the remaining one-year contract will be paid in three years, which can help the Mavericks reduce the salary of almost 15 million in the free market in the summer of 2013, when many star contracts expire, so that the Mavericks can make room to pursue superstars such as Anthony and Paul.
That is, the short-lived Mavericks Three Towers era is about to pass.
However, the Cavaliers actually made it to the second round...... Of course, it was the East, and the Nuggets Jr. made it to the second round.
Look at the real Nuggets, who are 1-3 behind the Thunder......
……
Basically, it is certain that the opponent in the second round is the Spurs, and the Grizzlies have a clearer goal to prepare for the game, creating mid-range shooting opportunities!
Sun Ce, Randolph, and Nash are especially important when they play the Spurs in the second round, Paul George, Jimmy Butler, Gasol Jr., and Yi Jianlian are also very important, Klay Thompson is the containment point, and Sun Ce, Paul George, and Battier should also act as a containment point......
As Game 5 of each series begins, and as the Grizzlies enter a critical phase of preparing for the second round, some of the regular season awards are being announced.
The race for the best manager was created between Heat general manager Pat Riley and Cavaliers general manager David Griffin.
Although sending Hasslem away caused Pat Riley to be sprayed by fans, he brought back a quasi-All-Star caliber player like Nene with athleticism, excellent pick-and-roll, shooting, low-post skills, and rim protection, and had the second-best record in history with a 70-12 record, so Pat Riley beat David Griffin to win the best manager.
In terms of best coach, Nuggets coach George Karl ran with him for three years in a row, and finally got his wish and won the best coach award this season.
On May 3, the regular season MVP was announced, and there was no suspense, James won the regular season MVP with 109 first votes, if Sun Ce hadn't grabbed 6 first votes, James would have been unanimously elected.
Also announced on the same day was the Sixth Man of the Year award, perhaps due to the imminent retirement, Yao Ming won the Best Sixth Man award with 53 first votes over Klay Thompson, who received 49 first votes.
On the night of May 3, Game 6 between the Lakers and Mavericks began.
Back at home, the Mavericks couldn't get to the tiebreaker and lost 94-103 to the Lakers to say goodbye to the playoffs.
Yao Ming played very hard in the last game of his career, shooting 8-of-17, 8-of-8 free throws, and also made a three-pointer, getting 25 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, Conley also had 26 points and 7 assists, and Chandler had 13 points and 13 boards, but Nowitzki, who was very rigid in the first few games, did not perform well tonight, scoring only 8 points on 4-of-11 shooting, not a single free throw and three points.
Sun Ce, Zu Ge, Lily Collins, and Yi Jianlian watched the live broadcast of the game together, and saw that Yao Ming gave up after the game, and seemed to accept everything calmly after losing, hugging opponents and teammates, hugging the referee, and hugging the officials of the technical desk......
This picture made Sun Ce and Yi Jianlian feel a lot of emotion.
are both players of the Chinese national team, and the three of them were called the big three in the international arena last year, and now, there is one missing!
Yao Ming now has to prepare for the 2015 election as president of the Blue League, and his body is really not enough to support such a high-intensity competition.
Sadness aside, things have to look forward, Yao Ming's athlete career ending has been several times better than the original ending that Sun Ce knew, and he actually won the best sixth man, Sun Ce felt that he should mourn for Clay for three seconds.
The live stream about the Lakers and Mavericks game is over, and Time Warner Cable Sports is the sixth game of the Spurs and Warriors.
Unexpectedly, the two teams actually played defense!
** Vicky seems to have anticipated that the Warriors will play defensively, and he has also offered a dominant style of play.
I have to say that Harden is not unable to defend, he originally had the nickname of Uchiha Harden in time and space, purely forced, originally in the Thunder he was at least a good level of defense, to the first year of the Rockets, the offensive burden was on him alone, and he was not a physical monster like Westbrook, so he could only give up defense.
