Chapter 771: Epic Matchup!
"Epic vs. Biao!"
The day after the first game between the Kings and the Thunder, starting in the morning, the sports media across the United States have put the statistics of this game directly on the front page.
"It's hard to recall how many years ago it was the last time we met two teams that used ace scorers on both sides to maintain the team's overall attack."
Some media lamented in the report: "Since the F4 Lakers were killed by the united Detroit Pistons, individual heroism, the drama of one person and one city, has become more and more rare in the NBA." Although there are many teams, there is still only one scoring maniac in the whole team, but none of these teams can enter the real championship ranks. And those teams that have the strength to compete for the championship, without exception, are all playing as a whole. ”
This statement may be a bit of an exaggeration, but looking back at the history of the NBA, it is true to a certain extent.
It's just that at the beginning, the practice of everyone being soldiers, weakening the role of stars, and strengthening the overall system of the team has slowly evolved into a situation where multiple all-stars and even superstars form teams and brush up on playoff copies together.
Even in the past few years, the Philadelphia 76ers, who have held the entire world basketball world in their hands, have Chen Mu, the world's and possibly even the first basketball player in history, what can support them to win is still not Chen Mu's strong attack alone, but the strength of the team.
The real superstars are developing towards all-rounding, and Dirk Nowitzki in 2011 may have been the last glimmer of brilliance left among the older generation of scorer-based stars.
And now, whether it is the Thunder or the Kings, whether it is the Big Three or the Problem Boys, the offense of both teams is maintained by one person in the final analysis. This kind of superstar confrontation is rare in today's generation, and it is not surprising that it will attract so much attention.
When the whistle blew at the end of the game, Kevin Durant, the Thunder's core scoring leader, finally scored a terrifying 45 points. One person accounts for one-third of the Thunder's scores. Durant, who has a very smooth hand, was a little uncomfortable by his cousin Gu Yu in the first few minutes of the fourth quarter. Most of the rest of the time, it is invincible, and the efficiency is extremely terrifying. ”
And the most important reason why this game is eye-catching is the personal data of the main players of both sides.
In the end, Durant went off the break with four minutes left in the fourth quarter, completely announcing that the Thunder had given up on the idea of a comeback. Durant's stats are fixed on the height of 35 minutes played, 45 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, and in the Western Conference Finals in the past many years, it is also a god-level performance. ”
Compared with Durant, the other two giants of the Kings play a typical high start and low walk. Evans completely collapsed after being walked by Gu Yu in the third quarter, and the full-court statistics were 14 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists in 34 minutes, and the performance could only be said to be unsatisfactory.
As for Cousins, it was even more ugly, also in the third quarter, Cousins was made by Gu Yu's mentality explosion, and after that, the ball was concentrated in Durant's hands, and Cousins had almost no chance to play. He had only 16 points and 9 rebounds in 33 minutes. He was good at tackling only 4 assists, 2 blocks, 1 steal, and 5 turnovers, and his performance was quite spicy.
That's not a bad statistic in this game. Because the second leader of the opposite Kings team has few powers, the performance is also mediocre. In the end, he had 17 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, and the shooting percentage was ugly.
Green and Bynum's performances can only be said to be average, but in the case of hard Cousins, it can be regarded as a good thing.
Paul George has just returned to the first game, and he has to face a killer like Durant, the data is not good-looking, and the performance has no bright spots, which is reasonable.
So why did the Kings win?
There is only one answer, and that is
"Cousin Gu Yu!"
Almost every report, when mentioning Gu Yu's data, used an exclamation mark: "I didn't play the game in the last 6 minutes, chatted nonsense off the court and sprayed with fans, played 35 minutes, and scored a terrifying 51 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists." In addition, my cousin also contributed a dominant performance on the defensive end, and under the intensity of the playoffs, my cousin was not troubled by any fouls, and handed over an astonishing statistic of 2 blocks and 6 steals in the whole game, which is a well-deserved first person in this game! ”
What's even more remarkable is that 29 of my cousin's 51 points were scored in the second half of the third quarter and the first half of the fourth quarter, a short period of about 10 minutes. This kind of scoring explosion once again proves to fans all over the world who is the first person to score in the league! This kind of performance also reminds people of the new nickname that Barkley brought to his cousin - Doctor Strange. Cousin Gu Yu, just like Doctor Strange, must have some kind of superpower that transcends time and space, he can cover the sky with one hand and turn things around! ”
Gu Yu's score, performed on a stage of the Western Conference Finals, once again ignited people's interest in traditional scoring maniacs.
The data of how many super scorers in history in key games have been brought out by experts one by one. What is surprising is that no matter who you compare with, even if you pull Jordan, Chamberlain, and Abdul-Jabbar, Gu Yu's data is still not lost, and it is completely a fight.
As a result, people's attention gradually shifted from the game between the Kings and the Thunder to the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Miami Heat, which was about to start that night.
On one side, there is Chen Mu, the MVP winner of Lianzhuang in the past five years, and on the other side, LeBron James, the second person in the league and the chosen son of the iron in the past five years. The individual form of both sides is the best level in recent years, will there be more shocking statistical performances in this group of matchups? Let's wait and see! ”
The eyes of billions of people around the world are focused on Vachovia.
Concentrated, about to start a terrifying battle, on the Eastern Arena.
"The popcorn is in place!!"
Oklahoma, the hotel where the away players stayed.
Gu Yu's door was pushed open, Andrew Bynum staggered in with an unknown number of buckets of popcorn, opened the door with his feet, closed the door with his feet, and scolded all the way: "Mother, no one came to help me??" Don't you have hands or feet?!! Yes?!! ”
"Hands and feet? We have. Gu Yu sat on the bed, staring at the TV screen, didn't look at Bynum at all, and replied, "But we don't have mouths, popcorn?" You still have popcorn for a game tomorrow? Roll the rough, get the rough! ”
“…… Don't eat it!! Bynum glared at Gu Yu, thinking to himself who in this world could resist the temptation of popcorn? Inexistent!
"Of course I don't eat it, I eat nutritious meals." Gu Yu raised the nutritious meal in his hand, which attracted bursts of laughter from Phil Jackson, who was sitting on the side.
"You...... You are a cow! But I don't believe the rest of these guys don't eat it!! Bynum came to the bedside and actively peddled popcorn to a room of strong men.
"If you don't eat, you won't eat, uncle, we won't eat." Who knows, the players actually waved their hands in unison to refuse, and the angry Bynum smoked.
Stevenson, who was already trying to reach out for a bucket to eat, finally weakly withdrew his hand, looked at the popcorn bucket and swallowed his saliva, smiled awkwardly and waved his hand: "Heh, don't eat~"
"You, you, you......!!!" Bynum was a little desperate, he couldn't get off the stage, and he glanced at Xiao Yu, who was shrinking beside Gu Yu, holding a laptop and not knowing what was written, and suddenly realized that he might be able to find an ally, and handed over a bucket of fragrant popcorn with a flattering smile and said, "Come, Sister Yu, come to a bucket??" ”
"Haha, you're welcome, Andrew, I'm losing weight, don't eat it." Xiao Yu waved his hand and bluntly rejected Bynum's proposal. At the end, he shrank behind Gu Yu, as if he didn't want to make any eye contact with Bynum at all.
“…… Depend on! Then I'll eat it alone! Bynum wanted to cry without tears, so he simply broke the jar and broke it, sat directly on the ground, picked up a bucket of popcorn and was about to pour it into his mouth.
"Hehe, Andrew." Phil Jackson was happy and said with a smile: "I have a game tomorrow, so don't eat popcorn today." ”
"Coach, coach ......" was stopped by the coach, Bynum had nothing to say, looked at Phil Jackson, and then looked at the popcorn around him, and reluctantly said: "But the popcorn is the best when it first pops, what a pity to put it here......"
"It's okay, you can eat it for the teacher." Who knew that Phil Jackson hooked his hand and said, "Is it buttery?" ”
“…… Be. Bynum's face was black, and the boss got up unhappily and handed a bucket of popcorn to Phil Jackson, pouting like an elementary school monk who had been robbed of a snack by a teacher.
"It's all buttery?" Phil Jackson didn't take the popcorn bucket directly, but glanced at the other buckets that were still on the ground.
"Uh, yes...... Well?? Bynum seemed to smell a hint of hope, blinked and said, "Don't you like butter, coach?" Hahahaha, then you're welcome, just put it away, I definitely won't eat it! I'll pour it out in a while, but it's just poured into my mouth and pinched hahahaha......"
"Hehe, the teacher's favorite butter-flavored food, bring it all to me." Phil Jackson's fingers continued to hook, and Bynum's laughter came to an abrupt end.
Then, there was a pig-like wail, echoing in the corridor of the hotel, and it did not disperse for a long time......
"Don't make a noise, fool!" Gu Yu reached out and slapped Bynum's arm hard: "Let's get started, let's start, watch the game!" ”
Everyone's eyes left their phones and turned to the TV screen.
In the picture, Chen Mu, LeBron.
Play.
