In the first round of the playoffs, the Lakers eliminated the young Rockets 4:0 without suspense.

In four games, the Rockets struggled only slightly in Game 2.

In the third and fourth games, he tried to resist on his home turf and was beaten to death.

Obviously, the time that belongs to the Rockets and Harden has not yet come.

At the end of Game 4, Harden didn't look very happy, but he wasn't too sad either.

Because the Rockets players have long been mentally prepared and know that they can't beat.

Winning blood earns, losing does not lose, and it is also the tuition fee to be paid on the road to growth.

For the Lakers, the result of the 4-0 sweep of the Rockets not only brought them enough rest, but also allowed the team's veterans to find their game status.

Nash and Kobe Bryant are in a very fast state, and the offensive play of the two of them has their own system, which makes the Rockets unguardable.

The power that has not been shown in the regular season has finally been revealed in the playoffs.

At the moment, Howard doesn't seem to have touched the seal.

In the first four games, he played a decent game, protected the backcourt rebounds well on the defensive end, and averaged 2 blocks per game to the Rockets.

The singles in the low post on the offensive end have basically disappeared completely, and occasionally playing Asik a few times, the effect is not good.

Basically, relying on the passes of Nash, Kobe Bryant and Li Liang, receiving the ball and attacking the basket directly, it became a terminal point.

As for Ci Shiping, Pau Gasol, and O'Neill Jr., none of them had too bright performances.

None of them are out of form yet, and in the semi-finals, more people will undoubtedly need to step up.

In the matchup between the No. 4 and No. 5 positions in the West, which the Lakers are most concerned about, the Clippers and the Nuggets tied 2:2.

The fifth race will move to Los Angeles to begin the important battle of Tennoyama.

There is also a group of matchups that are surprisingly fierce, that is, the Thunder and the Warriors.

In the first four games, the two sides also fought to a 2-2 draw, and Curry played a huge energy in the series.

Previously, people thought it was a skinny, three-pointer, good point guard.

His playmaking and passing ability is not as good as traditional defenders like Paul and Nash.

This makes his positioning a bit nondescript.

But Curry's performance against the Thunder proved that basketball really is a scoring game.

If you can shoot the ball, if you can score, nothing else is that important.

Except for Game 3 at Oracle, Curry was heavily blocked by the Thunder from the outside, scoring only 18 points and losing the game.

In the other three games, Curry scored more than 30 points in a single game.

In the fourth game, Curry shot 7 of 11 three-pointers and scored 38 points in a single game, helping the Warriors tie the score.

These two series are destined to be extremely intense.

And like the Lakers, the Spurs played against the Grizzlies, and the old people who hated the Spurs in 2011 are going to remember it for a lifetime.

4:0, a bald head to the people of Memphis!

This is the first time in eight years that the Spurs have swept the Grizzlies in the playoffs after 2004.

They will await the winner of the Thunder and Warriors in the semifinals.

In the East, the Heat, the first team in the East, swept away the Bucks with a 4:0 without suspense.

James's team, the first round of abuse is still as stable as Mount Tai.

Since leading the team to the playoffs for the first time in 2006, James' team has never fallen in the first round.

With the exception of the Heat, the other three series in the East are still undecided.

The real strong teams have come to the fore, and the fake strong teams are still fighting in the mud pits.

On the night of winning the series, the Lakers left Houston as a team.

On the plane back, everyone was very calm and did not show any joy after the promotion.

Kobe Bryant sat at the back of the cabin with a calm face, quietly pretending to be deep.

The other players either eat to replenish their calories or read newspapers and magazines.

Steve Nash is watching a replay of the game with his Ipad.

Pau Gasol, Howard, O'Neal Jr. were sitting around discussing something.

Mike Brown and the coaching staff are holding technical statistics tables and doing data analysis.

Although the game was tiring, no one had any intention of resting.

It's the playoffs, and when the series is over, it's time to prepare for the next round.

Oh, except for Li Liang.

Li Liang sat next to Nash, covered his face with a towel, and slept peacefully.

As soon as the cargo got on the plane, before it took off, it sat down and fell asleep.

Everyone likes it, what kind of sleep contest is going to be held in the world, Li Liang is definitely at the all-star level.

In fact, Li Liang didn't sleep because he was sleepy, but because he wanted to go in and draw the prize.

None of the recent contests have won any lucky draws.

The various "firsts" of the regular season have been achieved, and now it's the playoffs' turn.

For the more and more prizes accumulated in the system, Li Liang felt a little clueless.

Among them, the prizes that can be materialized into real items are the best to use.

Like bone-setting medicine, as well as breathing, socks, and shoelaces, these things keep Li Liang away from injuries.

In the regular season, Li Liang played a full 82 games, and he was not affected by any other injuries except for a slight finger puncture injury.

This ensures that Li Liang can play on the court with confidence and boldness.

In addition to the materialized items, some special props are also easy to use.

For example, [Garbage King Medal], [Dumb Sutra], [Kodinger's Chest], etc., each has a magical function.

But after using it a few times, Li Liang found that these things are easy to use, but they are all side effects without exception.

Some side effects are more obvious, such as [Cuttinger's Box], [Garbage King Medal], [Yin and Yang Great Tonic Pill], [Gary Payton's Chewing Gum], etc., which need to be used reasonably, otherwise the effect will be the opposite.

Some side effects are less noticeable and long-term, and this is more harmful.

The typical is the [Dumb Sutra], the more you read it, the more you will be stunned, and the opponent will be stunned, and you will also be stunned.

Therefore, Li Liang has not been reading the [Silent Sutra] for a while, and has left it there to eat ashes.

However, Li Liang still thought in his heart that one day he would still pick up this book, and when his spiritual ability could control the [Dumb Scripture].

Of course, artifacts like [Bob Knight's Hair Dryer] and fun things like [Ball Blind Identifier], Li Liang carries them with him anytime and anywhere.

One watch, one spray, brought a lot of fun to Li Liang's boring player life.

This time there was a chance to draw a lottery, Li Liang turned the big turntable again, thinking to himself, let's have a physical item, or a skill.

[Congratulations, you have obtained a special item, "Ugly Elbow Pads", which can be obtained in the storage box under Kobe's seat.] 】

Li Liang looked at it, yes, it was a real thing, an elbow pad, which can protect the elbow, a good thing.

But why should it be placed under Kobe's chair, and how can Lao Tzu take it?

Forget it, let's talk about it when we get off the plane.

Li Liang didn't care about it for now, there was still a little time, and he didn't want to be idle in the system.

After opening the [Personal Training Ground], Li Liang entered the field, took the ball and began to practice three-point shooting.

After practicing an open three-point in the individual training arena for an hour, Li Liang felt that he was not satisfied, and spent a little anger to call Matt Barnes out.

Then let Barnes defend himself for a strong three-point shoot.

The reason why Barnes was used was because Li Liang felt that he might have to play the Clippers in the next round, so he took Barnes out to practice his hands.

The second reason is that Barnes's salary is low!

Although Barnes is a very strong No. 3 defensive stalwart, this guy is too righteous and always signs some low-salary contracts.

A few years ago, he was able to get a contract of 3 million in the Warriors, but in the end of the Clippers, it was more than 1 million.

In fact, with his strength, he can sign a full middle class, and as a result, he has been dealing with the base salary for most of his career.

The NBA should put righteousness first, and Barnes is definitely one of the representatives.

After summoning Barnes, Li Liang practiced a three-point shot for half an hour under Barnes' defense.

Having trained himself in the system until he was exhausted, the plane finally arrived in Los Angeles.

Li Liang woke up from his sleep, rubbed his eyes, and felt so sleepy.

Really, the more you sleep, the sleepier you get.

But he still didn't forget about the elbow pads, walked up to Kobe Bryant in the back, and said, "Boss, you elbow away, I want to get something!" ”
