2-0！ The Lakers take the lead! —Los Angeles Times.

It's hard to fight! We have to defend the home field! —The San Antonio Express.

Go on, one more game, and we'll enter the Western Finals ahead of schedule! - Lakers Nation.

Was Popovich's strategy a mistake? Letting role players play too much? Inside news, everyone is very unhappy! ——ESPN

About the game, ESPN senior expert Henry . Abbott gave a brief analysis and evaluation:

This ball is Popovich's own arrogance that trapped the Spurs!

I don't understand why these star players are being used as bait and role players are allowed to play. A small percentage is fine, but the proportion is too large and I don't think it's appropriate. Is Popovich learning the way the Heat played against him back then? If you want me to say, this is a complete failed imitation. The Spurs should hurry up and wake up, otherwise the Lakers will be half-footed in the Western Conference finals.

The outside world also expressed doubts and dissatisfaction with Popovich's approach.

So much so that Popovich himself felt that there was some instability in the team, and some people were fluctuating.

Sure enough, it is not possible to continue playing like this, and if you win, it is better to say that you will lose in a row......

However, can you beat the Lakers with a star? What do you keyboard warriors know! The Lakers' defensive point basically has no weaknesses, and if you go to singles, what can you take advantage of? Can we do better than them defensively? Forgot what our team's tradition is? I don't forget how I got the Spurs to the Finals a few years ago.

They are all forgetful "keyboard warriors"! Damn it!

Popovich couldn't help but take a sip of wine, he was upset not only by the outside rhetoric, but also internally, and the team itself was also showing signs of internal problems. And seriously, he hasn't really found a way to deal with the Lakers.

All of this adds up to a lot of trouble for him.

The playoffs continued with the Heat's 102-96 win over the Raptors, a game in which the Heat rebounded and hammered out opponents, plus more free throws, to take a road victory. The Trail Blazers and Warriors World War II is also underway, the Warriors beat the opponent again, 110-99, Curry came back with a big wave, and 38 points directly exploded the Tear City.

This round of the series, everyone said, has basically lost its suspense.

The Trail Blazers are no match for the Golden State Warriors by any measure. It's better to let the Clippers advance, so at least the Clippers still have an absolute advantage on the inside. In such a matchup, it would be good for the Trail Blazers to win one game.

Not to mention the Cavaliers and Hawks, the Cavaliers bloodied the latter 123-98 at home, and the Big Three scored 60+ points again, and there was no suspense at halftime. At the start of the third quarter, the Cavaliers built a 76-38 lead and a margin of nearly 40 points. You say, it's a ball, it's a ball. Just admit defeat and forget it. When the Hawks were the strongest, they were beaten by the Cavaliers, not to mention that this season is already in the twilight, and they are just eating their old books. After the game, the head coach of the Eagles himself was a little bitter:

We hope for a miracle back at home.

This kind of thing is tantamount to saying that if there is no miracle, returning to the home stadium is also a dead end.

No play.

On the other hand, whether it is the Heat or the Raptors to advance, they basically do not pose a big threat to the Cavaliers. This year's East is still the Cavaliers' Big Three model, which stands out. The probability of entering the finals, ESPN gave a figure, as high as 82.1%. This is simply saying that the three remaining teams in the east are all "war scum".

Hey, the problem is, you teams can't be unconvinced, the difference in strength is obvious.

The Cavaliers and James are most afraid of tough lineups and teams, but if you look at these three teams, there is one, right?

Without the defensive intensity of the Pistons, Green Army, Bulls, and Pacers, the Cavaliers can't talk about too much attrition, and they can't compete for star ability, unless you really have more and stronger stars, otherwise, it will be extremely difficult to win in the East. Don't forget, the Cavaliers are a team that has a very poor defense, but can still make it to the Finals. Think you don't have a few brushes?

On May 5, the Heat and the Raptors played the second game, and this time the Raptors found their way back on the home court, relying on a large number of free throws to get a four-point victory. They made 26 free throws in this game, and the Heat only made 13 free throws, but ...... The Raptors only made 14 of those 26 free throws! Hit rate 53.8%! So the front is just a joke! Where they really win is when they steal! Up to 15 steals per game! Nearly 3 times more than the opponent!

Nearly 10 more possessions were made.

That's why I won.

But this series sees now, it's just four words, "rookies pecking each other". The fight was fierce, but that's because they weren't very strong. There is a lack of the kind of superstar who can really make the difference. The Heat's Wade was originally counted, but he was aging and the brake pads were not enough, so he couldn't help the team play superstar finish.

And the main thing is that in this series, it doesn't matter who wins, the Cavaliers.

Because, you can't win them anyway.

In the East, that's how the Cavaliers have been holding this season.

From the first round, the journey to the finals is actually a smooth road.

As long as they don't die, they are the only hot spots in the east.

Of course, the main event is still in the West, on May 6, there are 2 games today, one is the Cavaliers vs. the Hawks, and the other is the Lakers vs. Spurs. The game has moved to San Antonio for the third game of the series. Look at the slogans such as "Defend the home court" and "" on the Spurs' home court, and you will know how important this game is to the Spurs. As in the previous Thunder Game 3, if it is a series 3-0, then the chance of a comeback is basically zero. No matter how difficult it is, Tang Qian has the most feelings and the right to speak.

So the third game after 2-0 is a life-and-death battle for the backward side, and if you lose, your last breath will actually be released.

According to statistics, after losing the third game, the elimination rate is 99.9%. The fourth game continued to lose, and the probability exceeded 6 percent.

That's why the third game is so important.

At the same time, at the San Francisco Tech Summit in the United States, Rudy. Thomas and Durant met, and Durant was also very depressed when he lost recently, his performance was a mess, and he was scolded very badly by the outside world, so he came out to relax. The two were not very familiar with each other, but because of Rudy. Thomas is Iguodala's business partner, so the two are somewhat related.

chatting and chatting, it became Du Shaoda to vomit bitterness, and then said that he couldn't sit and eat empty, and he couldn't play basketball for a lifetime.

He needs to have more income or investments outside of his career.

To put it simply, Durant doesn't have any sense of security, otherwise, he wouldn't have said this until Rudy. After Thomas found some "interesting information" in the chat, he was interested in continuing the conversation with Durant: "So, you don't want to stay in Goose City anymore, do you?" ”

"I don't know, maybe. My agent also told me that the investment value of Goose City is too small. ”

"But didn't you just say that there is a good chance that you will continue to stay in the Thunder?" Thomas's words are not groundless, Durant did state after being eliminated that he would stay with the team 90%. This news is everywhere. In the United States, there are still many people who have an impression. However, Durant's answer also surprised him: "That's a no-brainer, my agent told me that I have to say this now, okay, in fact, I thought about this last year, and that was when I was injured." I think there's more to it than just basketball. You understand, Rudy? ”

"I understand." Rudy. Thomas smiled, "Can you tell me about your choice?" And if it's convenient? ”

Durant hesitated, but his "migrant worker Du" temperament still made him say something: "I don't know, go to a developed city or a strong non-championship team." Although he didn't say it explicitly, Thomas nodded. The purpose of going to a developed city is to increase the success rate of one's investment, and to a strong non-championship team is to take a shortcut and want to win the championship as soon as possible, so as to maximize one's commercial value.

Speaking of which, it's all money. For big stars, sometimes the commercial value is more profitable than the contract value.

Of course, Thomas, a lifelong business elite, also sensed Durant's impatience with continued failures, and Durant began to wonder if he could win another championship in the future. Please, how old are you, not really. Didn't you sign a huge contract with Nike at the end of last year? It's for money, but there's something else to think about, right?

He didn't debunk it, he just wrote it down silently. Then the two of them exchanged other topics and left.

……

At the same time, the domestic "Zhou Demon King" was also touted and cheered, and confirmed to participate in the 2016 NBA draft. At this time, everyone began to speculate about his ranking, outrageous, even to the lotto. "Demon King Zhou" himself expressed optimism, saying that he would like to go to the NBA to show himself. When asked about the Lakers and Tang Qian, "Zhou Demon King" said that he was looking forward to playing against Tang Qian at the NBA level. He'll give it his all.

Tang Qian didn't know what he said, many Tang Mi in China had fried the pot, but now everyone's popularity for "Zhou Demon King" is flourishing, so it's not easy to say anything directly. Otherwise, they will be labeled with all kinds of hats and carried out humane attacks.

Of course, it is also understandable that everyone hopes that there will be a steady stream of NBA players in the country, which is a feeling of "hoping for a son to become a dragon". However, I am afraid that the expectations are too high, resulting in the final gap will be greater. After all, now "Demon King Zhou" has been blown into the sky on various domestic media and online platforms, as if he is the next Yao Ming, and his potential is no worse than Tang Qian.

This is nothing, there is this "urine sex" in China, and I like to kill, wasn't Yi Jianlian like this at the beginning? However, I'm afraid that some people will take it seriously. In that case, it's going to be a problem. At that time, the gap between reality and imagination is too big, and I am really afraid that his "small body" and "small skeleton" will not be able to bear it.

However, what will be the outcome of the "Zhou Demon King" will be known in Brooklyn, New York next month.

Whether it's a mule or a horse, who knows?
