On May 2, at 7 p.m. U.S. time, Game 6 of the Lakers vs. Mavericks series kicked off.

Surprisingly, this year's post-season battles are quite intense.

The Lakers are currently in Game 6 with the Mavericks, the Rockets and Clippers are also in Game 6, the Spurs and Grizzlies are Game 5, and the Thunder and Warriors are in Game 6. In other words, the situation in the West, except for the Spurs, which is slightly better, the rest of the people are difficult to solve, and no one dares to take it lightly.

That's something that can happen at any time.

Compared to the West, the East is much better, the Pacers and Hawks are currently in the G6, the Bulls have been eliminated by the Wizards by a big score of 1-4, and the Heat easily swept the Hornets 4-0. This is also the only team this season to complete the sweep in the first round of the playoffs, and James, who still had a little bit of a finish in the regular season, began to enter the state as soon as the playoffs arrived, and slowly unblocked. In 4 games, he averaged 30+8+6+2 per game, and defeated the opponent with a shooting rate of more than 55% and a three-point shooting rate of 35%, and there was no suspense at all.

When the ball-focused style of play has not been implemented in the whole league, how can James's data be all-round and excellent!

Wade and Bosh have been completely reduced to "after the halo" this season.

Add to that a Raptors and Nets battle to Game 6, and that's the overall situation in the East.

It has ended in 2 rounds of the series, and the intensity and excitement are completely inferior to those in the west.

It's normal.

Looking at the records and leading stars of these teams in the East, the Raptors, who are third in the East, are placed in the West, and they can't get into the top eight. This situation is not only this time and space, the original time and space are almost the same, and it is also the third in the east that cannot enter the top eight in the west. Needless to say, the overall combat ability of the team is too convincing, and no one believes that you say that "the west is strong and the east is weak".

Secondly, the leading stars and core players, the East is also incomparable with the West team.

Take the Raptors, who are third in the East, and the leaders are DeRozan and Lowry. What are the regular season stats for these two guys? A 22+4+4+1 42.9% shooting rate, the current career resume is an All-Star, and then there is nothing. DeRozan is going to get the All-NBA third team, and that's still a matter of the 16-17 season. Kyle. What about Lori? The average data in the regular season is almost 18+5+7, and the shooting rate is also 42%. Career resume...... Nothing! Yes, it's nothing! The first time he made the All-Star team was next year, and the All-Star team won't be available until next season. So on the whole, the Raptors are All-Star leaders in one season, and this ability is generally so. What about the third in the West? This season's Oklahoma City Thunder team, the core configuration is Kevin, who averages 32+7+6+1 per game in the regular season and has a shooting rate of more than 50%. Durant, plus Russell, who averages nearly 22+6+7+2 per game and shoots 43.7% from the field. Westbrook. The career honors of the two are Durant's 5-time All-Star, 3-time scoring champion, 4-time best team, and the best team that has not yet come out this season, and he is also sure of it. Russell. Westbrook is a three-time All-Star and a three-time All-Round Second Team. Check out this honor combination? I don't know how many levels I want to blow up the Raptors, who are also third. The same goes for the fourth-place Chicago Bulls, led by Joakin. Noah and Jimmy. Butler. In fact, they really can't find anyone this season, although Butler and Noah are both defensive players, but judging from the series they have ended with the Wizards, the strongest is ...... Great. Gibson, he averaged 30.8 minutes per game and delivered the highest data of 18.2+6+2.4, and the shooting rate also reached more than 56%! As for Noah and Jimmy. Butler, on the contrary, has been mediocre, with more than 42+ minutes played, but the data is not good-looking, and it is not uncommon for him to be beaten by the Wizards.

The leader of the Wizards, a Wall, made it to an All-Star and then didn't get any honors.

The Hornets are leading the team by Al. Jefferson and Kemba. Walker. Al was supposed to be named to the All-Round Third Team. Jefferson is currently losing even the center position on the third team and has been snatched up by Howard. In other words, here, they are "stars" who have no All-Stars and no lineups. Even the original plane, which is a El with the best three formations. Jefferson led the way.

Isn't it normal for this kind of core lineup to be swept by the Miami Big Three? Do you think every team is as terrible as the Spurs? In such a comparison, even the core lineup of the Clippers is comprehensively crushed. If the Heat come to the West, first of all, whether it is the Clippers or the Rockets or the Thunder or the Spurs or the Lakers or even the Grizzlies this season, it will not be so simple. Do you think the playoffs can make it so easy to break out of the West? As I said, in addition to the universe brave, since the 90s in the West, only the Lakers have made it to the Finals three times in a row. One is the "combination era" and the other is the Kobe Bryant solo era. In more than 20 years, no team has done it, and the Spurs have been the same.

So you're in the West and you're saying James can N get to the Finals? You're thinking too much! First of all, you can destroy him several times by consuming the championship team that he can't beat in the first place! Otherwise, how did you get his winning percentage in the finals? Not to mention the overall attrition and overall pressure of the western breakout. Like in the east, sometimes "only fight in the east", completely one side of heaven and one hell.

So Yahoo Sports made a statistic for this year's playoffs, and more than 8 percent of people believe that the TV subscription data also proves this, and the overall subscription data in the west is much higher than that in the east. So......

The saying that "the west is strong and the east is weak" is once again in the air of the alliance.

Of course, this did not slander the Eastern Division, because whether it was in terms of stars, records or match data, it was all crushed by the Western Division. If there is any objection to this, it is a dead duck with a hard mouth, and it can only give you a big stick.

The U.S. Route Center in Dallas.

Away dressing room.

It was another "dark ritual" with the lights out completely, and Bryant shouted directly at the end:

“G6！！！！”

That's right, it's game over, that's what the Lakers are here to do tonight, they have no intention of going back to the Staples Center to play the Mavericks.

Back at the Staples Center, it's the next round of opponents! Clipper OR Rocket!

. T is in charge of commenting, because it is a playoff game, so Barkley, O'Neal, Kenny. Smith, Reggie. Miller has it all.

"Lakers VS Mavericks, Game 6, I believe everyone didn't expect to play this part, right? If the Lakers hadn't won the battle of Tianwang Mountain, this game would probably have been completely reversed! "Kenny. Smith said: "The resilience of the Mavericks is surprisingly strong, and the Texas team is not easy to mess with. We were Team Rockets back then, known as the City of Resilience. ”

"I and Shaq should both understand this, against the Texas team, unless you completely win, you can't take it lightly at all, lest they end up overturning."

"Charles was right." O'Neal also said: "The West is strong and the East is weak, and it is doomed from Jordan's withdrawal from the league, basically as long as we highlight the West at that time, we will be the champion." If you look at the comparison of the eastern and western records this year, it is more like a shot put and a balloon, one is extremely strong, and the other is broken as soon as it is pierced, and it has no combat ability at all. ”

"So I regretted that I shouldn't have been at the Phoenix Suns. Alas. Barkley sighed.

"You can pull it down, Charles, whether you're in the East or in the West, you're going to end up running into Michael, and you think you can take him and his Bulls? I remember the best stat Michael played in the Finals, which was against your Phoenix Suns, right? How many points did he score? 50 per game? Or 60? O'Neal deliberately buried Barkley, who blushed and quickly changed the topic: "Who do you think has the best chance of winning tonight?" Vote by a show of hands. ”

As a result, three people chose the Lakers, and only O'Neal chose the Mavericks.

His reasoning is that the German is a fantastic player, and he is just right to restrain the Lakers' interior defense, and if he is like Game 3 and Game 4 tonight, who knows if the Mavericks will win the game?

But in this game, O'Neill was a little "taken for granted", because Nowitzki had obviously reached the limit of his body, and the continuous outbursts in front of him made him run out of reserves, so the first half of this game was very average. He only made 3 of 10 shots and 1 of 3 three-point shots, and got 7 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists. Tang Qian's defense for him in the first half was very powerful and excellent.

Why is it suddenly so powerful?

The reason is nothing more than two points, Nowitz basically returned to normal in the game, he did not break out, there was no "The.Zone" and "super god" facing Tang Qian, and he was not so destructive. After all, he is about to be 36, and he only has more than a month left, so he obviously can't be compared with the peak super firepower. Moreover, Tang Qian's "heart demon" in this game only weakened his competitive state by 10%, which is already the minimum value of the "heart demon" weakened, so Tang Qian's defense started much stronger than the previous games.

is also a trade-off, this time it has become Tang Qian's rise, and Nowitzki's is a loss.

Without the Germans breaking the game at critical moments, the Mavericks' offensive weakness could not be overcome, and they were bombarded indiscriminately by the Lakers who seized the opportunity. The Lakers scored 58 points in the first half, if it weren't for Meeks' not very good hand, shooting 0 of 4 from beyond the three-point line, this halftime score is estimated to exceed 60 points! What about the Mavericks? The first 8 minutes of the first quarter were okay, but then gradually declined, becoming more and more weak and difficult to attack. Anyway, the Lakers' strategy is that Nowitzki will go up to Tang Dive, and Nowitzki will go down, and Don Dive will go down.

Nowitzki, who is about to be 36 years old, will no longer be able to play an average of 40+ hours per game as before, so Tang Qian can survive with a little top. And he doesn't have to grab rebounds and blocks, which also saves a lot of energy.

In the second half, Nowitzki stepped up his own attack, and he exploded, bursting but not scoring 2, and fell into a deadlock with a rapidly declining shooting percentage. Because Tang Qian also exploded, he still defended and suppressed the opponent. In addition, tonight's "heart demon" only dropped by 10%, so defending the Germans, Tang Qian felt much easier than the previous games.

It was clear that Nowitzki wanted to break out more in the second half, but ...... The successive outbreaks in the first few games hurt his vitality, he had a heart, but his body was weak. In the end, Nowitzki only shot 9-of-24 from the field, plus 2 free throws, to score a total of 22 points, shooting only 37.5%. You have to know that Nowitzki's career shooting percentage is as high as 46.2% in the playoffs, which is almost 10% lower this time, which means that he has been defended.

Especially in the fourth quarter, Tang Qian let Nowitzki shoot 1 of 5 again, and there was also a block contribution during the period, which directly killed the Mavericks' counterattack wave. Nowitzki is old in the end, and he has no more helpers, he can only hold on for a few games, and it is impossible to be like the peak era, stable and high-explosive, and beat the opponent.

At the end of the game, the Lakers defeated the Dallas Mavericks 115-101 and 14 points away, with a big score of 4-2, and successfully advanced to the Western Conference semifinals. Kobe Bryant scored 35 points, Nash got 9 assists, Gasol scored 20 points, and Tang Qian got 10 points, 7 rebounds, 3 blocks and 2 assists, and the Lakers ended the first round.

Kobe averaged 34.8 points per game in the series, scoring a total of 209 points, and these data are "new history". Because in the original time and space, after Kobe Bryant's Achilles tendon tear in the 12-13 season, he was never able to play even a playoff game, and his playoff statistics stayed in the knockout game with the Thunder in the 11-12 season. With a total of 5,640 points, he didn't score an inch in the next few seasons.

The all-time playoff scoring champion, who was supposed to be easy to get, also lost the opportunity to challenge due to injury, just like the regular season scoring champion. This is definitely a big regret for countless Humi and Komi. Even if James will surpass him in the future, it will be a great experience to be able to reach the top of the mountain.

Because of the addition of these 209 points, Kobe's current playoff total has come to 5849 points, which is completed for Karim. Abdul. Abdul-Jabbar scored a total of 5,762 points to surpass. He is currently ranked No. 2 in the playoff scoring charts. Second only to the god of basketball, Michael. Jordan.

Also completing the transcendence is Steve, the Child of the Wind. Nash, who was already only missing Larry in fifth. Bird is sixth with just one assist stat (1061) (because of Tony. Parker's total assists in the 13-14 season weren't as many as they were later). Now all of a sudden, Jason is approaching in front. Kidd up.

It is also a historic monument.

That night, Kobe Bryant said that this was just the beginning, and the Lakers still had three rounds of the series to break!

Without the championship as a footnote, these data are all floating clouds and are not worth mentioning!

Nash agrees with this sentiment, saying that while he is honored to surpass Larry. Bird, but his attention will only be on the rest of the game for now. As long as he can make the Lakers win, he is willing to do anything! It's like the heat of this series!

D'Antoni also said at the press conference: "The hot sacrifice is great! Without him taking the initiative to take on the defensive pressure, our Lakers wouldn't have eliminated the Dallas so easily. So I think the whole team should be grateful to him for respect!

That is to say, but some people in the outside world just like to "find nothing to do" and "play by question", as if they feel that this can reflect their expert nature and professional nature.

On May 3, the day after the Lakers' victory over the Mavericks, the NBA league announced the roster of the league's All-NBA First Team, which is as follows:

Kevin. Durant + LeBron. James, it's the best forward team.

Bryant. Bryant + Chris. Paul, this is the best team of defenders.

And then...... The best team in the center is indeed Tang Qian.

Tang Qian was selected for the first time in his career, starting in the third year.
