Chapter 183: You big and big guys do this kind of thing
After losing the third game at home, the Waterfowl team no longer had the fighting spirit, and in the fourth game, the Imperial team was like a bamboo, and Wang Weiyu and the Twin Towers played less than three quarters, and the game lost suspense. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
In the end, the Emperor defeated the Waterfowl 112-100, ending the season journey of the Waterfowl and becoming the only team to sweep the opponent in the first round to advance.
Unlike the waiters-Celtics in the east, there was a bloody battle in the first round in the west, except for the group of the Emperor team and the Waterfowl, which were too far apart in strength, the other groups were not swept. The Kings are focusing on the round between the fourth-place Ponderers and the fifth-place Lakers.
The winner between these two teams will face the Kings in the second round. Both teams won at home. In Game 6 of the series, the Ponders showed their resolve by beating the Lakers on the road to advance 4-2 overall and meet the Kings in the semifinals.
Simon Oliver, the core player of the Lakers, averaged 27 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists per game in this round of the series, but he was unable to recover. This time, however, there was a reason for this, their interior core Bender Travofta was injured in the regular season, and this season, Simon has almost single-handedly brought the Purple and Gold into the playoffs, and he cannot be asked to do better.
"Next season, the world will see a stronger me." Faced with failure, Simon said in an interview.
May 1, 2019, Saravo, Jacques Arena.
In the Western Conference semifinals, there is already the taste of Huashan on the sword, and in this round, the match between the Emperor and the Ponderers is even the most focused game.
Because in the other round, it is the match between the Braves and the Thor, in terms of the lineup and regular season performance, the confrontation between the two teams will be more intense, and people are more willing to watch the fierce game.
"Welcome to today's "Weekend Fun", today I and the familiar Chris Webber will explain this game, Chris, say hello to everyone." Doug laughed.
Webb has participated in the show many times, and his performance is getting better and better, and there are even rumors that he will join the show, "Hello everyone, I'm Chris Webb, and I'll watch this game with everyone." "Chris, who do you think has the best odds?" Doug asked. Chris said; "Judging from the regular season record, the Kings beat the Ponderers, but each team will become a different team in the playoffs, and it will be interesting to see if the Kings can beat the enhanced version of the Ponderers like they did in the regular season."
In the player tunnel, the players of the Imperial Team gathered together, waiting for Wang Weiyu to speak.
And Wang Weiyu also said a surprising pre-game mobilization, "To tell you the truth, I'm already thinking about the opponent in the next round." "Boss, I didn't fight a game," Montgomery said.
"I only have three opponents in my eyes, San Antonio is not among them, and after Popovich and Duncan leave, they are no longer the familiar team of Ponderers, no need to be afraid, go and crush them!" Wang Weiyu shouted: "Emperor team! β
βWINοΌοΌοΌοΌβ
"Play with momentum, let the audience know our fighting spirit, and more importantly, let the San Antonio people, know that they don't have a chance!" Herbert said.
In terms of lineup, the Imperial team had no reservations and sent out Montgomery, Raglan, Wang Weiyu, Jing Qi, and Merris. The same is true for the Ponderers, whose outside core Edgar Gilmore will be in the spotlight for their matchup with Wang Weiyu.
Others include star insiders, Lapier Djilas, point guard Zoe Odetti, scoring guard Roger Olaf, and center Tuckerin Inlam.
In the jump ball session, Jing Qi didn't grasp the timing of the jump, allowing Lapier to seize the opportunity and take away the ball.
The Ponderers patiently reversed the ball from the outside, and they were in no hurry to attack. Although the head coach has changed, it still retains that calm tradition. poured the ball three times in a row, and when it came to Edgar's hands, Wang Weiyu forced up, this person with a consistent expression and always silent, only by putting pressure on him first, could he force him to make mistakes.
Edgar grabbed the ball with his big hand, waiting for the inside line to block and dismantle, and as soon as the block arrived, he dribbled and broke through, Wang Weiyu was stuck by the wall, and Merris was half a beat slower, allowing Edgar to kill in.
"Defend!" Herbert yelled that he couldn't tolerate such an oversight in the first round. Jing Qi's steps are like arrows, and he made up for the position early, but Edgar didn't pass the ball, he raised his hand to buckle it, and he wanted to buckle Jing Qi!
Can Jing Qiyan let him succeed? In this case, not to mention him Edgar, even Kant had the courage to block and jump at the same time, Jing Qi's height and arm span played a crucial role in knocking Edgar's ball out of the air.
"Beep!" The referee's whistle blows. Jing Qi was stunned, "Sir, my movements are very clean. "I believe in my eyes." The referee was indifferent and threatening, "Don't question me. "Cut.." Jing Qi raised his hand disdainfully and admitted the foul.
"It's over, our home referee has been bribed, what can we do?" Raglan grunted. The referee next to him had an ugly face, "Ragren, watch your words. "I'm definitely not talking about you, you are definitely a fair referee in my eyes, believe me!" Raglan immediately changed his tune, "I'm talking about the guy who doesn't have long eyes. β
Wang Weiyu grabbed Raglan, "You've said enough, shut up, you don't want to be sent off at the beginning, right?" "OK, I see." Raglan said.
Wang Weiyu's advice was understood by Raglan to mean something else, can't you spray the referee? Then I'll spray the rest. Just as Edgar made a free throw, Raglan erupted, "I can't imagine that the group of honest people of the Ponderers also know that they have bought the referee, it is really the world is declining, and the hearts of the people are not ancient, God, God, please curse them!" Let them choke on eating, choke on water, and slip in the bath and be seriously injured, Amen..."
"Be the and be careful!" Roger said angrily. Raglan said: "Those ill-intentioned Bichi were all your reaction after they were exposed. β
"Fark!" Roger said angrily: "You haven't been favored by the referee? "Yes, but it won't be biased at the beginning, J is such a good block and actually blows a foul? How much money did you give that Bichi? Tell me secretly, I promise not to say it. Raglan looked like he was snooping into secrets.
"Rogel, don't talk nonsense with him." Zoe stopped Rogel, who was about to have a seizure, "There's no need, prepare to return to defense." β
Edgar made both free throws. Montgomery advances, this is Herbert's signal, if there is no strong interference, Montgomery advances.
Considering that the opponent was Edgar, it was a decision made by Herbert after careful consideration. Wang Weiyu has to face a three-time best defensive player at his peak, and some people even believe that Edgar is the best single defender in 20 years and the top three defenders in history.
When encountering such a monster, Wang Weiyu had better save more physical strength. After the front court, the ball was exchanged, Wang Weiyu held the ball, Edgar immediately came up, left a few steps, and then opened his hand, ready to pounce at any time, and ready to retreat to defend at any time.
"Edgar, you look good today." Wang Weiyu doesn't like to play against him, good defense is a reason, and the most important thing is that he is too boring, if an opponent like Otard is willing to communicate, it will be interesting to fight.
Like this guy, who has a "you owe me five million" expression all day long, who the wants to compete with him.
Wang Weiyu called for a block, Jing Qi came up, and Odega, who followed him, was ready to change his guard at any time. The idea is good, but the action cannot be done. Wang Weiyu's breakthrough technology through blocking and dismantling is already the first-class level of the league, and the starting speed is really unable to keep up.
Edgar chased after him, wanting to surprise Wang Weiyu from behind. Wang Weiyu noticed that he was following closely early, so when he was running, he picked up the ball and threw it back.
Jing Qi at the free throw line was not surprised by the arrival of the ball, Wang Weiyu had passed such a ball too many times.
"Huh!" Jing Qi tried his hand and hit the ball steadily.
Edgar wanted to make up for this mistake, and he thought that he had not followed Wang Weiyu. So, he chose to play singles.
If Popovich was still the coach, this would never have happened, and it was Popovich's departure that made this traditional powerhouse slowly let go of the most important thing in decades.
Edgar fell to the low position and hit Wang Weiyu with a pair, his impact was fierce, but it was not enough to push Wang Weiyu away. Wang Weiyu put one hand on his back and the other hand on his back, a standard low-post single defense posture, and combined with his own strength, Edgar's offense came to a standstill.
"Oh no!" The Thinkers wanted to answer, but Edgar wanted to play again, moving his feet in succession, trying to force out a few shooting spaces, but as a result, Wang Weiyu didn't look at his steps at all, and locked his pivot feet.
The more steps there are, the greater the chance of being blown away, and a few steps later, the referee's whistle blows on one side, and Edgar walks for a violation.
"If we had bribed the referee, the ball wouldn't have been blown!" Roger was haunted by Raglan's opening referee. Raglan just exuded a body language of "I don't listen, I don't believe" no matter what he did, which made Roger half angry. (To be continued.) )
