Chapter 734: Don't provoke!
The fifth, Tianwang Mountain.
Staples.
"Wow, that's really what a lot of people are looking forward to!"
On the side of the commentary stage, after the first round of playoff commentary, and achieved good ratings on the domestic online live broadcast platform, Penguin Live Broadcast has received the attention of NBA officials. The commentator Kefan came to the scene again, and this time the position of the commentary platform was much better than before.
"It's a great match, and I'm sure you've been looking forward to it for a long time. The confrontation between the Sacramento Kings and the Los Angeles Clippers, is it the Kings who come from behind to keep a chance of life, or the Clippers crush the promotion and sweep the gentlemen? We'll see! ”
Kefan's opening remarks were still very slippery, but he muttered a little in his heart.
The day before this game, a set of matchups in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs came out.
The Philadelphia 76ers, facing the challenge of the Wizards, easily advanced away from home, and once again completed the sweep.
Like the Heat in the bottom half, Philadelphia's path to the first half of the East has been easy and enjoyable, and it has been completely unmatched. It is said that before the start of the fourth game, Philadelphia, which led 3-0, also gave Chen Mu, the core of the main general, a short day of vacation, and let Chen Mu go back to Philadelphia.
As for the reason, it is a bit ironic.
"My water bill is due, and my wife said that I can't find the bank card, so I have to go back and pay it, otherwise I will kneel on the keyboard when the water stops!"
Well...... It's that domineering......
However, Philadelphia does have such confidence, following the sweep in the first round, Philadelphia faced the menacing Wizards, and it was effortless to win three cities in a row.
Without Chen Mu's strength, the combination of Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Iguodala on the outside is enough to make the Wizards deflated. The new generation of first-line point guard Wall, although his personal impact is quite strong, and the combination with Beal is also getting better. But against the extremely terrifying No. 2, 3, and 4 chain super defense lines in Upper Philadelphia, the characteristics of the two of them could not be brought into play at all.
Wall's personal impact was tracked by Jimmy Butler, and even though he still scored 19 points, his best assist was not played. 6 assists in a single game is obviously not the level that Wall, who wants to hit the league's assist king, should have, and Wall, who is stuck in the quagmire of fighting alone, has no way to thread the needle for the Wizards, and it is not strange that the Wizards lose.
The situation is even worse on Beal's side, Iguodala's defense is still at its peak, and it is like a high wall has been built in front of Beal, there is no chance to break through, there is no space for running, there is no chance to shoot, and if you are not careful, you will be stabbed.
The Wizards' interior line is even more pitiful, and the combination of Nene and Gortat, facing most of the league's interior line, is quite okay. But for Chen Mu, it was like a child holding a knife to challenge a heavily armed special forces, and the scene was unbearable.
The Wizards are not without resistance, but what Wall single-handedly tries to lock Curry, what Ariza quickly retracts and wraps Chen Mula, and other tactics, Philadelphia has encountered almost every day in recent seasons. Under Carlisle's tutelage, Philadelphia's response was timely and effective, and all the Wizards' fancy intestines were smashed in the cradle.
Chen Mu feints, attracts the bag, Curry stands at the top of the arc, as a super long-range threat and passer, Jimmy Butler and Iguodala on the weak side take turns to cut and single, and there is also a natural chicken thief and Taffe near the bottom line, Plumlee, who makes all kinds of bewitching small shots and grabs rebounds in the frontcourt.
A simple shift in the focus of the attack, the wizard, can't support it.
After winning the first game with this hand, in the second game, the Wizards continued to change their tactics, trying to use the high double cover of Nenei, Gortat and Wall to cover opportunities, play more inside penetration and then pass outside, wanting to put the main point of attack on Beal, who is wandering on the outside.
However, Philadelphia's changes are more thorough, not only using Chen Mu's ubiquitous terrifying defensive enveloping power on the inside, making the Wizards' offense futile, but also completely liberating Curry's ball-handling attack.
Chen Mu, as the boss of the team, went to the high post again and again to cover Curry, and the Wizards had to shrink the defense by cutting inside.
To greet the Wizards, of course, is Curry's relentless three-point rain.
With 14-of-19 shooting, 7-of-10 from beyond the three-point line and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, Curry scored 39 points in a single game with epic playoff efficiency, taking away eight assists and three steals. The wall who played wanted to cry without tears, and he couldn't play his historic-level running and jumping qualities, and he was repeatedly stuck to the inside line by Chen Mu with tendon meat.
Watching Curry open his hand and hit three-pointers again and again, the Wizards' defense completely collapsed. After Curry made a shocking half-court whistle-shot, the Wizards surrendered, 125-90, and the Philadelphia 76ers won by 35 points at home, and the Wizards doubted their lives.
In the third game, coming to the road, the Wizards still wanted to fight to the death. After the opening, Wall hit the basket on two three-point attempts, and took advantage of the expansion of Philadelphia's defense, and came a few more times of his best breakaway shots, assisting Beal to hit one from the middle range and one from the three-point line, and made a dream start of 11-2.
But everything that happened afterwards proved that this was really just a dream.
The strategy of stretching the defense as far out as possible and doing everything in its power to stop Curry's three-point shot is not much of a problem.
But Wizards, forget a little.
"Bang ......!!!"
Chen Mu is still the father of all players in this world.
The back is heads-up, and the bottom line is turned and folded.
Double bag clamp, half-turn feint, reverse turn to the inside line to dangle a shot, change hands and lick the basket to score.
The three of them were clamped, retreated to the side, and took a big step to the middle of the road to hook into the net.
Local four-person joint defense, turned around and walked to the bottom line, and the super golden rooster with an extremely exaggerated negative angle was hit again.
An opportunity to switch offense and defense, Chen Mu received Curry's back pass, flew up, and scored through the desperate Ariza with both hands.
Wizards, once again collapsed.
With three victories in hand, Chen Mu went home and paid the water bill.
Another day, continuing to play away, Chen Mu, who had been tossing back and forth on the road all day, was on the court with a posture of "I want to clock in and out of work, everyone knows each other to keep up with my rhythm", and in the first 5 minutes, one person scored 14 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, leading Philadelphia to play a tidal terror offensive.
Just past the first quarter, Philadelphia had a 23-point lead, and the game was over at this point.
"With consecutive sweeps, the Philadelphia 76ers have shown great dominance in the East. Although the Heat in the lower half of the district also swept a round of sweeps and a 4-1 gentleman's sweep, they also played very easily. But in Curry's state this year, plus Chen Mu, who is still invincible, Philadelphia is still the most powerful candidate for the Eastern Conference championship. ”
Kefan was talking about yesterday's game, but he was scolding his mother in his heart.
It's okay for me to explain the game, but why can't I say a Philadelphia game now that I'm in the United States?
I am also Chinese, and I always hope that the team with Chinese players will win. Commenting on the Philadelphia game, casually speaking, it ended up being a victory, and everyone was happy. And what about the king? This is a team that is about to hang up, how disgusting it is to say that I lost??
Watching the players warm up on the field, Kefan continued: "There are many interesting points in this game, the first of which is that the two banned players of the two teams have ushered in a comeback. ”
On the court, Redick is wearing a protective mask and practicing his shots. Judging from the shooting posture and the final hit rate, the competitive state has not been affected much.
But every time, as soon as Redick gets the ball, there will be Chinese fans on the sidelines who stand up and show their hands "No discrimination!" There was a lot of discussion in the vicinity, and many fans pointed at Redick.
This situation also makes the atmosphere at the Clippers' home court a little strangely embarrassing.
"After the suspected discrimination incident, Reddick spoke out on social networks and in the media many times, repeatedly emphasizing that he was not that kind of person, but just tied his tongue." Covan continued: "But the fans don't buy his account, everyone knows that my cousin is a straight man of steel who is never hypocritical, and of course everyone is more willing to believe his cousin's statement than Redick." ”
Fortunately, after the post-match examination, Redick only had a slight concussion and some minor problems such as redness and swelling, and he was not in any major physical condition. In this game, how will the cousin, who is also ushering in a comeback, beat Redick, and can the king escape? We'll see. ”
Here, Kefan was having sweet troubles, and on the field, Gu Yu had been pulled by his teammates several times, and he almost went up to beat Redick again.
"That...... Hind legs. ”
Just when Gu Yu was angry when he saw Reddick and wanted to serve him again, Wei Shao's reluctant voice sounded behind Gu Yu.
"What are you doing??" Gu Yu looked back, only to see Wei Shaozheng half-bowing his head, his head tilted to the side, with an expression of pretending to pick up money on the ground, quite a little bit of a little boy doing something wrong and shy.
"I ...... I apologize to you! Wei Shao is Wei Shao, even apologizing is so domineering, muttering impatiently: "I...... I didn't play well in the last two games, and they were 3-1 ahead, my pot! Today I will definitely fight calmly and hard, and I won't make any more random moves, that's all! ”
After speaking, Wei Shao didn't give Gu Yu a chance to speak, and directly turned his head and left, leaving a group of players stunned in place, you look at me, I look at you.
“…… Ha! Gu Yu was amused by Wei Shao's extremely rare apology, the anger and haze in his heart were swept away, the corners of his mouth grinned, and he said to himself: "I didn't expect it, this hind leg really began to care about the team's victory and defeat, exceeding his own data!" ”
This is also a kind of growth, right?
Phil Jackson sat on the sidelines, smiling slightly and not saying a word, thinking about a book he had given to Wei Shao the other day.
"The Three Little Pigs," well......
"Remember, I'll remember it all!"
On the other side, the Clippers bench.
Rivers called all the players and said loudly with a serious face: "No matter what, no matter what the game is, you must follow one rule for me, that is: no, want, recruit, provoke, cousin, brother!" Did you hear that?? Don't provoke, don't talk, don't make eye contact with him, don't get his attention in any way that makes him feel like you're provoking him. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!! I repeat, do all the other details, we are much better than them, but remember, no, want, provoke, cousin, brother!! ”
The competition is about to begin.
