The Lakers-Trail Blazers game was the opening game of the first round of the playoffs and the highlight of the first day of the game, but the process was less suspenseful and not the dragon battle that many people imagined. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It was a short battle that lasted less than two hours, and the Lakers comfortably defeated the confident and menacing Trail Blazers 98-74 at home.

After the game, on the sidelines, in the tunnel of the players, in the dressing room...... Zhang Qi seemed to be intimidated by layers of intimidation, and every few steps he took would be surrounded by cameras.

Today he only scored 18 points, which is his lowest score in the whole season, and only scored 8 points in the first half, although there was an explosion in the third quarter, but the game was already garbage time in the fourth quarter, and there was no chance for him to add to the bricks, Zhang Mao's final stats were 18 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks.

Commentators in many countries have said: If you don't tell others that this is the data of baby koalas, everyone will definitely think that this is the data of the best blue-collar insiders, such as camp and Mutombo.

Zhang said herself: "I feel good now, and the confidence of the whole team has risen before the game. The main theme of the playoffs is defense, and while I don't think that's necessarily true, since everyone says that, I know there's a point. So, I didn't play much on the offensive end today, and it turned out that defense is really important in the playoffs, and I'm going to keep it going. ”

Then he naturally mentioned his defense: "It's something that our coach has asked for a year, we defended very well today, and I think it was the best game I defended. I've done well before, but you know I've got a lot of work to do, and those games weren't knockouts, so I haven't worked as hard as I did today. As you can see, this is the Lakers in the playoffs, this is me in the playoffs, someone picks the wrong opponent, but it is useless for them to regret it. ”

The media said: This B pretends to be very average, it seems that no matter how good the performance is on the defensive end, the space for pretending to be forced after the game is limited!

In the Lakers' locker room, there are also a lot of media crowding around, including a film crew from China.

This year, CCTV finally reluctantly bought the live broadcast rights of the Lakers playoffs, and even sent a commentary team and film crew to the scene, all of which were targeted at Zhang Fu, who is already very famous in China at the moment.

The most famous athletes in China now are Li Ning and Zhang Fu. But with the characteristics of "the moon in a foreign country is round", Zhang Fu's popularity has almost surpassed Li Ning in just a few months, becoming the most famous athlete in China.

"Leon, do you have the confidence to sweep the Portlanders?"

"Well done, that's the price they pay for their stupidity."

"Those guys who came out of prison probably thought it was '94."

“…………”

The Lakers' locker room is full of reporters from major media, and small media can't get into the Lakers' locker room.

At the moment, these guys are obviously excited, and the Trail Blazers took the initiative to choose the Lakers as the opponent in the first round of the playoffs, which made the whole of Los Angeles feel that they were being slighted, and the anger in their hearts was not just what it seemed.

Now that the two teams have finally played each other, the Lakers have kicked the Trail Blazers with one kick, and the hearts of the big guys are naturally very happy, and these reporters also feel relaxed.

Zhang Yu didn't seem too jumpy, he knew that the first round was not the time to pretend to be forced, especially if he pretended to be in the first game, it was too two-stroke.

You must know that pretending to be forced is also a science, and if you want to get the climax, you have to warm up and foreshadow first.

"Of course there is confidence, but this is my first playoff game and my coach told me that the most important thing in the playoffs is to leave the games you win or lose behind you. I think that such a big win will create two mental states, one is that our side is full of confidence, thinking that we can play the Trail Blazers like this, and we will still win the next few games; The other is the mentality of the pioneers, who think that they feel too bad, but we are in full bloom. Once they're back on their home turf or back in form, there's still a game to play. ”

Zhang Qi smiled: "For me, we should also have a second thought, which is a sense of crisis, forgetting the danger means that the danger has come." In this match, I fought hard and played my best defense, and my teammates delivered great performances. But the problem is that we don't know how much strength the Trail Blazers are playing, so it's important to keep a relatively calm mind. We can certainly celebrate, but we also need to be cautious. ”

At this time, you can see why Zhang Fu is the "king of pretending", and he will not be beaten if he pretends to be 13 every day, the reason is that he has mastered the true rhythm and essence of pretending.

The rest of the Lakers team doesn't have his skills, such as Van Exel's usual dragging when he speaks: "If something is done well, we can win even if we shoot like them, only 30%, even if Lyon only shoots one basket in the whole game, the playoffs are certainly not an offensive show, but we defend beautifully." ”

Zhang Fu was very unhappy in his heart, what does it mean to "I can win if I only vote for one", will this bastard speak?

In the CCTV film crew, a young reporter named Su Qun asked Zhang Fu: It may still be the Jordan era, but he will grow old soon, and the current NBA is about to enter the next era, do you think you can become a new legend?

Although everyone knows that Jordan's era will not last long, at least half of the people hope that the next leader will be a pure American.

Even they know that the most qualified successor now is Zhang Zhu, and the gap between Grant Hill and Zhang Qi looks to be getting bigger and bigger.

Zhang Qi is sitting next to the Magic, who was once the best point guard in the league, who has won all the accolades that an NBA star can receive, and it can be said that he is the leader of the Western Conference before Jordan.

And when the magic hero was in the twilight, Jordan quickly became popular, stole everyone's limelight in one fell swoop, and naturally became the first brother in the whole league.

The Magic knew it was all normal, that all sports were a passing on process, and that he and Bird had handed the torch to Jordan, and now Zhang was the next successor in his eyes.

Zhang Zhu faced the domestic media, of course, he will not be too low-key, he said: "I have always told myself, don't pile too much pressure on your head, Jordan and I are of different races, congenital conditions, technical talents are also different, we also have different national cultures, racial cultures...... But suddenly one day, really suddenly one day, I think no matter how difficult things are, there are always people who can do them. In the future, there will definitely be people of the yellow race who will run 10 seconds in the 100-meter event, and there will definitely be yellow people who will win the championship in the sprint event of track and field, and I know that there will definitely be such a person. In the same way, I also know that there are yellow people who can do it like him (Jordan), so why not me? ”

His words will thrill Asian fans, but they will also upset many whites and blacks.

But so what, Zhang Wei still said it, he knew that those who were dissatisfied would never become his fans, so why should he worry that he would offend them?

A year ago, it wasn't that no one believed that a yellow would become a superstar in the NBA, so why wouldn't there be a yellow man winning the sprint event in the future? Why aren't there yellows who have become superstars in football?

At the subsequent post-match press conference, Zhang Mao didn't say much.

He now just wants to go to the young lady to comfort his 28, this thing will rust if it doesn't work for three days, and he needs to rub it hard, violently tonight!

After 10,000 words of harmonious content......

The next day, Time magazine published its annual list of the "100 Most Influential People in the World", and Zhang Zhu, who was grinding pipes, was also among them, and of course his father was also among them, but the two fathers and sons were in different groups.

The list of the world's 100 most influential people is divided into "Leaders and Revolutionaries", "Arts and Entertainment", "Business Giants", "Science" and "Heroes and Idols".

Zhang Wei was selected into the "Hero Idol Group", and his father was of course selected into the "Business Giant Group", and the interesting thing is that the two of them are ranked 10th in their respective groups, and one is neither forward nor backward.

Only eight celebrities selected for this year's "Hero Idol Group" are from the sports world, and Zhang is the only Chinese-American, and the only two NBA players, the other being Michael Jordan, of course.

The weight of this list is not light, the sports stars who can be selected for the "Hero Idol Group" are all super sports stars such as Jordan, Baggio, and Tyson, and Zhang Fu, an NBA rookie who is still less than 19 years old, has also been selected, so it is conceivable that his fame and influence are no longer comparable to ordinary sports stars.

It is conceivable that even Time Magazine, which doesn't want to do much with basketball, has Zhang Fu, and those sports media naturally put Zhang Fu's name on the headlines.

"It took Lyon the speed of light to go from rookie to second, but the distance from second to first was ten times as before."

Everyone knew that Lyon would succeed, but no one expected him to move so quickly to succeed, and after his incredible regular season, rookie Lyon became the second outside player in the league, and then came to a new schedule, which made the playoffs for his team.

Until now, there are still many people who don't want to admit it, or it is too late to update their impressions, but Lyon has indeed been the best outside player this season other than Jordan.

Perhaps, he is not the best outside player in a single round of offense and defense, but he is definitely the one with the most balanced overall ability.

This season, apart from Jordan with 71 wins to suppress the first-year rookie, who else can use his individual performance or team record to suppress him?

We looked through the league's best perimeter players, and the answer was: no!

However, it is several times more difficult to rush from second to first than Lyon from rookie to second.

He still has a long way to go before he can surpass Jordan.

- Los Angeles Times

"With 18 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks, Lyon played a DPOY performance."

Lyon played an unconventional game yesterday, swapping ten of those rebounds for points, which is like his stats.

Perhaps, he is adding ingredients to the "DPOY" selection, even if there is little hope of winning, at least it will bring him closer to the All-Defensive Team.

In particular, the seven editors and columnists in the sports sector gave Lyon an average score of 9, which is obviously a very critical score because we were asking for him with an MVP-caliber player, and the reason he didn't get a perfect score was because of the mess in the opening stages and the slightly lower score in the game.

If we evaluate the defense alone, we unanimously give him a perfect score for his defense in the first game, and Lyon's defense last night was perfect!

"In a few years, we can only blow and blow!"

When the American media reports on Jordan, they often describe it this way: "He is the greatest athlete of our time!" ”

In the past year, China's sports media have often been glad that there is that Zhang Fu, otherwise when we are old and brag to future generations, there is really no topic.

"Heroes" must have a national character, when bragging, foreign heroes are not good, if we will say to future generations: "We have Jordan in our time!" We had Baggio in our time! The descendants will say disdainfully: "Hmph, they are all foreigners!" ”

But we said, "We had Zhang Qi in those days!" "It's going to be a lot better and it's very educational.

However, there are really not many heroes in this era, and if you look for heroes, you will find the most pathos and regrets.

Of course, there is also the stinky and long Spring Festival Gala, the costume drama that is full of nonsense, the infinitely disgusting youth idol drama, and even the anti-Japanese drama that makes people cry more and more...... In the face of these increasingly embarrassing cultural waves, we do cry and laugh.

But fortunately, we still have Zhang Zhu, who can make us not so earthy when we are looked at in a few years.

On April 26, the other four playoff teams also began their first game of competition, and overall, there were few upsets.

Let's talk about the first day of the Western Conference game, the Lakers killed the Trail Blazers neatly in the opening game, and there was no suspense in the whole game.

The Spurs also easily upset the Clippers 120-98 on the first day of the game, and Eddie Jones' 24 points couldn't help the team get through because he was the only one to score more than 20. The Spurs had two players score nearly 30 points, with interior core David Robinson scoring 28 points in just 31 minutes, and Bayern shooter Vinnie De Nagro scoring a game-high 29 points on 13-of-19 shooting.

On the second day of the Western Conference, the SuperSonics defeated the Suns 97-85 at home, a game where defense decided the winner, and Barkley's 26 points and 12 rebounds could not help the Suns win, because his teammates were similar to the Clippers, and he was the only one on the team who scored more than 15 points, and no one could step up to help him beat the strong opponent.

The Western Conference boss SuperSonics is the opposite, and there are currently reports that Gary Payton is likely to win the "DPOY" trophy this season, and his 29 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks in the first game also prove that he is indeed qualified to win the DPOY.

The Jazz vs Rockets match was supposed to be the most classic battle of the league's first round of games, and the final result was that the Jazz defeated the Rockets by 4 points, but the process was full of ups and downs, and the suspense was not revealed until the last minute.

It is worth mentioning that Stockton broke his playoff assist record in the game, swiping 23 assists to help the Jazz beat the defending champions.

In this battle, Ma Long and Lao Huo both scored 30+, and the hit rate was extremely high.

The two elders of the Rockets also scored 30+ points, but they lacked a mad Stockton, the main point guard Kenny Smith played averagely, and Sam Cassel, who had high hopes, couldn't find a rhythm in the playoffs, shooting 1 of 8 from the field, and 4 turnovers, burying the Rockets' hopes of winning.

It can also be seen from here that Kassel's performance is the normal performance of a rookie in the playoffs, and Zhang Mao is a hanger!

In the East, the Magic relied on their strong interior advantage to beat the Pistons 112-92.

This game was only an hour and a half later than the Lakers' game, and Grant Hill's play naturally attracted media attention, but it was a pity that he did not have a plug-in, and his performance of 21 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists could not be said to be bad, but the performance of 0 steals and 0 blocks also exposed that there was a gap between his defensive ability and Zhang Mao, and the most important thing was that the Pistons lost, and the gap was even greater.

The Pacers are the only team in the East to lose at home, but the premise is that Reggie Miller is out due to injury, so it's understandable that this situation is occurring, and the Pacers, who have lost their mental support and outside core, already have a high chance of losing this series.

The second day of the Eastern Conference was also uneventful, with the much-anticipated Chicago Bulls slaughtering the Miami Heat with ease.

Tim Hardaway recovered after trading to the Heat, scoring 30 points and seven assists in this game, but his assist Mourning was stopped by Rodman and the Bulls' defense.

The Heat tough guy only played 21 minutes in the whole game, and under Rodman's all-encompassing small actions and the Bulls' overall defense, Mourning looked too immature, and in the end only had 8 points, 2 rebounds and 6 turnovers.

Needless to say, Jordan's performance is needless to say, although Zhang Qi's fans are touting him, they have to belittle Jordan for not being as good as him in his rookie season, but this can't affect the fact that Jordan is still the first in the world, and today's helper easily scored 35 points and led the team to a bloody Heat.

The final game was the Knicks vs. the Cavaliers, and the New Yorkers easily defeated the Clevelands 106-83 with their strong overall strength, and it was even clear that the New Yorkers were not doing their best.

Overall, the strength of the teams in this year's playoffs is relatively different, with more than half of the games in the first round being won by the home team, and the only home team that overturned was the Pacers with an injury to the core.

The situation in the first round of the 1996 playoffs -

Western Division - (1) SuperSonics VS Suns (0); (1) Lakers VS Trail Blazers (0); (1) Spurs VS Clippers (0); (1) Jazz VS Rockets (0).

Eastern Conference - (1) Bulls VS Heat (0); (1) Magic VS Piston (0); (0) Pacers vs. Hawks (1); (1) Knicks vs Cavaliers (0).
