Chapter 812: Warriors
"Kobe, it's a shame that you can't play, you can only sit on the sidelines and watch my performance."
On April 28, 2013, the Spurs defeated the Lakers 103-82 on the road, thus sweeping the Lakers with a score of 4-0 to advance to the next round.
Kobe Bryant had to miss the Lakers' playoffs at the end of the season because of a ruptured Achilles tendon, although after Kobe's absence, the Lakers still have Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol, Steve Nash, Ron Artest, Antoine Jamison, a group of All-Star level players, but in the series with the Spurs, the Lakers, who lacked the backbone, failed to win even a game, and the Lakers lost to the Spurs by an average of 19 points per game in the four-game series, which can also be seen, How much of an impact Kobe's absence has on the Lakers.
As early as the start of the new season, Dwight Howard was dissatisfied with his tactical position in the Lakers and the head coach's positioning, and after the Lakers lost three games in a row in the series with the Spurs, Howard publicly bombarded the team's tactics for problems. In addition to Howard, Pau Gasol, another inside line of the Lakers, is also very dissatisfied with the team's tactics and head coach D'Antoni, under the strange arrangement of D'Antoni either shooting three-pointers or sitting on the bench, Pau Gasol submitted a trade request to the management before the season ended, Kobe Bryant was injured, and the Lakers were in chaos, and it was foreseeable that the Lakers were really going to the end.
"If I hadn't been injured, you'd be the ones who would have gone fishing now." The luxury division with so many stars went home like this, not only the fans who support the Lakers are obviously very disappointed, but Kobe, who is the star of the Lakers, is also extremely disappointed with the Lakers this season, and for the result of losing to his old opponent Meng Xu again, it is also difficult for Kobe to accept, especially the feeling that he can only sit on the sidelines and watch his team lose, but he can't do anything about it, which makes Kobe unable to let go.
'Hopefully you'll recover soon, and we'll do it again next season.' Meng Xu has long understood Kobe's character and style very clearly, so after a few words of ridicule to each other, Meng Xu and Kobe hugged each other, which can be regarded as encouragement and comfort to each other, no matter what Kobe can recover next season, in Meng Xu's heart, Kobe will always be a respectable opponent and a trustworthy friend.
"Don't worry, I'll kick your ass next season." Kobe, who was already hugging Meng Xu, said in Meng Xu's ear again: "I wish you the last laugh, pick up the O'Brien Cup as you wish, and let those snobs and little guys see that ginger will always be old and spicy!" ”
"Thank you, Kobe, I will definitely lift the championship trophy as you wish."
Kobe and Meng Xu, who had just met and ridiculed each other, hugged each other in a blink of an eye, this kind of scene also made the Lakers players around Kobe Bryant confused, especially Ron Artest, who had a gap with Meng Xu, after seeing this kind of scene, he turned his head and walked directly into the player tunnel.
After the Spurs and Lakers split the series, the Heat also eliminated the Bucks by the same score, and in the series with the Heat, the performance of the Bucks' new outside two guns was simply miserable, and the former Warriors boss Monta Ellis, who was highly expected by the Bucks management, performed extremely badly in the entire series, not only the shooting percentage of all items has dropped seriously, but the average points per game have also dropped by as much as 6 points compared with the regular season.
And Brandon Jennings's performance is worse than Monta Ellis, with an average shooting rate of less than 30% per game in the four-game series, and a miserable 14% three-point shooting rate, while in the Bucks' three outside lines, the average number of three-point shots per game is more than the total number of three-point shots of the entire Heat team, but their number of shots is not as much as that of Ray Allen, in this case, it is normal for the Bucks to be swept by the Heat.
It is not surprising that the Heat swept the Bucks, but what is surprising is the performance of Ray Allen after entering the playoffs, in the four-game series with the Bucks, Ray Allen can contribute 16.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists in an average of 27 minutes per game, and the three-point shooting rate is as high as 47%.
In addition to the Spurs and the Heat swept their respective opponents and advanced to the division semifinals in advance, the rest of the playoffs are still in full swing, and the strength and weakness of the East are clear, and the teams at the bottom of the rankings can not see any hope. Although the Nuggets have achieved the third record in the West this season, they are not favored before the start of the playoffs, and in the first round series with the Warriors, at the end of four games, they are not "unexpectedly" 1-3 behind, and the Warriors get the match point.
In addition to the Nuggets about to be beaten by the Warriors, the Grizzlies, who created the Black Eight Miracle in previous seasons, are now going to be beaten again, after losing to the Clippers in seven games last season, the Grizzlies and the Clippers met again in this year's playoffs, but unlike last year's playoffs, the same four games are over, and the top-ranked Clippers have fallen behind the Grizzlies by a large score of 1-3.
Finally, on May 4, US time, after the end of the Bulls and the Nets' tie-break, the first round of the playoffs was over, although this season's Bulls fell sharply because of the absence of the star Derrick Rose, but after entering the playoffs, the Bulls played quite tenacious, and eliminated the New Jersey Nets in two consecutive games when the score was 3-2 behind.
After the series between the Bulls and the Nets was decided, the Thunder, Spurs, Warriors, Grizzlies, Heat, Knicks, Pacers, Bulls, these eight teams advanced to the division finals one after another, and the Spurs' opponent in the division finals was to eliminate the Nuggets and the Golden State Warriors.
