Chapter 267: I can't beat it, and I won't eat anymore

The Lakers managed to get a win on their lips, which was the benefit of their first regular season record and a first-round sweep in the playoffs.

Zhang Qian hopes to use this advantage to lead all the way, although the Rockets did not consume too much physical energy in the final quarter and failed to achieve the best results expected before the game, but today the Lakers still managed to make the Big Three have a loss, at least to ensure that they will not be in the best shape in the next game.

'We have the home and physical advantage, this victory is not a force, the second game is a test, we will not be complacent about the first victory.'

Zhang Fu's answer after the game was a bit duplicitous, he was obviously proud in his heart that this victory came easily, but his words were good.

The Rockets are naturally complaining about the unfriendliness of the schedule, but they don't want to think about who calls themselves the only team to play five games to decide the winner, and this is the punishment that tardiness deserves.

Bulls (1) VS (0) Hornets; Jazz (1) VS (0) Clippers.

Heat (1) VS (0) Knicks; Lakers (1) VS (0) Rockets.

In the second round of the playoffs, after the first game, all the teams playing at home this time won.

The regular season records of each team are still in the Influencers game, and the Lakers are undoubtedly the most dominant team among the eight teams, because they will have home-court advantage even if they play all the way to the Finals.

A day later, the victory for the Bulls and Jazz proved once again the role of home-court advantage in the playoffs, even if the losing team itself played like.

In these two battles, the Hornets belong to a team that does not even have the will to fight, they don't think they can win the bulls at all, and they don't even have the courage to let go of the fight, which is a strange thing to win.

The combination of Glen Rice + Divac + Campbell is not bad, but all three lack the will to fight hard.

This Hornets is missing Mason, who should be the core of the interior, and there is a bit of a lack of blood, and there is really a lot of luck in winning against the Pistons.

The Bulls couldn't have won more easily, and even Rodman was able to score 15 points on the inside with frontcourt rebounds and leaks, proving once again the Lakers' wisdom in sweeping the two men away.

On the Clippers' side, the players are full of desire to fight, but unfortunately they used it in the wrong place.

The final result can be described as a loss and a loss.

The Jazz's game has never lacked physical confrontation, so when the Clippers, who couldn't find the key to victory, began to heat up, they sadly found that they were not even a match for the Jazz.

The entire Lakers gloated in front of the TV as they witnessed the Clippers' terrible performance in a game full of gunpowder.

The Jazz showed that they don't just play ball, but elbows, pushes, deliberate rams, and bad words.

O'Neill doesn't have much sense of existence in this kind of battle, and he has a sharp mouth off the field, but on the field, his trash talk is actually very ordinary, and his small actions are even more like a toddler in Handan, and he can only use his big man to scare and scare people, but the villains in the alliance know his details, and no one is afraid of him at all.

At the end of the third quarter, as the Clippers were consistently pressed by the Jazz, the margin had begun to move towards 20 points, and the game between the two sides began to move quickly towards football, with technical fouls every minute or two, successfully adding a lot of discordant tidbits to the game.

However, it was not Jazz who did it first, although the "two elders of Xuan Ming" are all famous villains, but in the case of absolute dominance, except for those regular small actions, they will not take the initiative to do things, at least they will not risk being expelled from the scene, which is meaningless.

The Clippers are annoyed, but in the face of the Jazz and a group of sub-grandmasters, no matter how you look at them, they are a little self-defeating.

In the fourth quarter, the "all-in-one" Malone elbowed Van Exel, which was the most serious black hand, and the Clippers point guard was lifted out after being hit in the chest.

Ma Long's elbow is different from Zhang Fu's only pain yesterday, this is the so-called "black hand", completely rushing to hurt people.

But what made the scene start to get out of control was the referee's decision, and Malone, who was playing at home, only got one technical foul and was not sent off.

The ball is lost, the people are still beaten, how can the Clippers players give up?

After that, the referees began to blow for a technical foul every minute or two, but they still let the Clippers take revenge on Lao Huo, and the Jazz also had a main player who had to leave the court for treatment.

The Lakers players in front of the TV almost opened champagne to celebrate at this time.

If both sides play like this every game, it really has to burn incense to God.

In the end, Stockton, known as the head of the "Four Evildoers", also began to make moves, and he directly came to a "broken son and grandson's foot" when he was wrapping Kobe, and knocked the rookie guard to the ground with one move.

Zhang Wei felt that Jazz was too much, so Van Exel's not to say it, Stockton was so ruthless to a high school student, it can only be said that the quality is too low.

If you want to do it, go get O'Neill!

He's grabbing rebounds on top, and you can pick peaches down there.

Stockton's move almost caused a brawl between the two teams, and the referees finally sent out the first Jazz player, but the Clippers players were already full of blood and became even more unable to play.

O'Neill is not bad, or rather, his few sneak attacks have not even shaved people's hair, and in the face of "full of evil" and "no evil", he is not even qualified to participate in the war,!

What made Zhang Fu laugh was that he probably forgot the free throws he had just learned, and once he didn't stick to them, which made the audience laugh.

In the whole game, O'Neal got a total of 17 free throw opportunities, but only scored 7 free throws, I don't know if he put down the free throw training again, in the first round he hit 20 of 29 free throws, and this round is only 10 of 24 free throws, and the ups and downs are comparable to a roller coaster.

The Bulls and Jazz both won 2-0, the former is not surprising, but the Clippers are so unbearable that many people are surprised.

If it continues like this, the scene of the "Los Angeles Derby" is afraid that it will be out of play, and O'Neal is now likely to be swept out again.

Zhang Qi felt that the Clippers were likely to be swept by the Jazz, not to mention the physical conflict in the second half, the Jazz had established an absolute advantage in the first three quarters, and the Clippers could not take advantage of both offensive and defensive ends.

Therefore, he felt that the Clippers might be trying to interfere with the Jazz by provoking the smell of gunpowder or even on-court conflicts, but he didn't expect that they were far from being the Jazz's opponents with this move, and even made a loss.

Soon after the game, it was reported in Salt Lake City that Lao Huo only had a skin injury, and he would be fine after a day or two of rest.

But there was no good news from Van Exel's side, when Malone elbowed Van Exel's ribs, and at this moment you can think of Big Dream's ribs, Horry's **, Shark's loose front teeth, Barkley's meat-like shoulders, the smiling assassin's head with dense 40 stitches, and the admiral's almost stop-beating pulse......

"I hit Malone's strong elbow, I'm afraid I'm going to say goodbye to the playoffs early."

Zhang Wei doesn't know the severity of Van Exel's injury, but generally when the situation is behind, the team will not put any smoke bombs, so even if the Clippers announce the injury, eighty percent of the injury is not optimistic.

However, these things have little to do with him, it seems that the Clippers are going to be eliminated, and the Lakers should now be more concerned about the situation of the Jazz and the opponents in front of them.

A day later, the battle between the Lakers and the Rockets has rekindled.

Team Rocket must have slept comfortably this time, but how much physical strength has recovered, he can see it at a glance with the system.

The Houstonians kept releasing smoke bombs before the game, the three elders came out one by one to release their rhetoric, and the head coach also boiled chicken soup in the team, looking extremely eager to fight, completely getting rid of the back-to-back pain of the previous game.

However, when Zhang Qi checked the starting lineup of the Rockets in the second game before the game, he found that it was all an illusion, and the data in front of him would not lie!

Rockets starters: Matt Maloney (77↓), Mario Elli (78↓), Clyde Drexler (84↓), Charles Barkley (86↓), Hakim Olajuwon (89↓).

Rockets starters: Jason Kidd (86↑), Michael Finley (82↑), Zhang Mao (95↑), Anthony Mason (85↑), Deacembe Mutombo (88↑).

Zhang Wei saw the comparison of the starting data of the two teams, and he couldn't believe it, today Mason and Mutombo are only a little worse than Barkley and Olajuwon's attributes?

Are you sure you're not mistaken?

There is also a question, Finley's stats have dropped a lot from the regular season, but it still shows an upward phase, so can't the attributes of the playoffs and the regular season be calculated separately?

He guessed correctly, and when he looked at Starks' attributes, it actually rose to 86?

This value is much higher than when he was in the regular season, it seems that this guy who made the Knicks lose the championship, after losing his character for so many years, finally completed the evolution at the end of his peak, maybe he won't cheat his father again this year, maybe he has to thank the Knicks for that, what a good person!

Before the start of the game, the Lakers held a special MVP award ceremony for Zhang Fu at home, and he finally received the honorary trophy second only to the Finals MVP from the vice president of the league before the game.

Zhang Yu didn't take another look at his ability value, and the moment he took the trophy, his ability value "ding"! From 95 to 96, this is another evolution!

But even if it is still 95 ability, even if Harris makes a mistake in sending troops, Starks, who is in better shape, should be allowed to start today, but with the current state of the Rockets, they will still not be the opponent of the Lakers.

Yes, the attributes of a player cannot determine the outcome of a match, but this refers to a situation where there is not much difference, and if the individual abilities of the two sides are too far apart, it will still affect the balance of victory.

The Lakers' defensive strategy today is to "drop a drop of water", that is, to see Barkley, Olajuwon and Drexler dead, and not let any of them go.

First of all, "glider", Drexler's state this season is very unstable, the first round against the supersonics, is also his biggest loss, stunned from the first round of 87 ability value, all the way down to the current 84, which shows that he is not only physically troubled, there should be a lot of injuries on his body.

Zhang was sure that he would kill the 35-year-old guy by himself, and he told his teammates before the game that he could get him and Drexler out today, and he didn't need to think about the existence of the two of them at all. If Drexler can put in a performance that exceeds the average score in front of him, then he will eat his own Sho tomorrow morning, and he can't even eat the young lady's.

This is not cheating, as the youngest regular season MVP in history, if he can't prevent death against such a declining veteran, then he simply returns the trophy to the league, and he doesn't have to eat anymore in the future, just drink and eat every day.

This can be regarded as adding some pressure to himself, Zhang Zhu is all on the young lady in order not to eat and drink, and today he must use all his skills to kill this Drexler.

Before the start of the game, Zhang Wei did not put away his huge MVP trophy, but put it in a very conspicuous position on the technical table.

Olajuwon and Barkley are very disdainful, it's not like they haven't taken this thing, what is there to show off!

Drexler couldn't help but look at it twice, because he was the only one of the three who had never won this trophy, and he was a little depressed.

"Well, is my trophy better than yours?"

Zhang Wei said this to Drexler, he knew that this guy had not won the MVP, but he pretended that his memory was wrong, and he suddenly made Drexler feel bitter and couldn't speak, because it was really not a glorious thing.

He doesn't have an MVP among these three, doesn't that mean he bows his head?

Once the game started, Zhang didn't care about his teammates' defense, just as he trusted his teammates that he could handle Drexler, he also believed that Mutombo could at least entangle Olajuwon, and Mason should also be able to entangle Barkley, as long as the two were limited to below average, they could not afford to lose the game.

Most of the Lakers' playmaking on the offensive end was given to Kidd and Mason today.

Zhang Yu found that his off-ball style of play is also good, without the ball in hand, his defensive pressure will be much less, but as long as he runs out of the opportunity, the basketball will definitely be passed to him as soon as possible, so it does not affect his offensive scores, and even the assist statistics have not dropped much.

In the first three minutes of the first quarter, he got three offensive opportunities with the ball through his teammates' off-ball covers, and finally scored 2 points and 1 assist, and used less energy than usual, so that he could put more energy into defense.

Speaking of defense, he hasn't been in the defensive squad, nor has he been in the top five of the DPOY.

These are the honors he should fight for next season, and the real superstars are all slams of honor, so he is just getting started, and there are still too many honors to be won.

Drexler didn't dare to imagine Zhang Fu's ambitions, he was too far behind his contemporaries in terms of honor in his life, and although he had a reputation as the league's second guard, it didn't seem to be a glorious thing strictly speaking.

Today, what made him feel even more dishonorable was that in the entire first quarter, he didn't have a few decent offenses with the ball, and even the number of shots was only a pitiful one, and he didn't shoot yet.

Zhang Yu didn't let him have the opportunity to catch the ball and shoot at all, no matter whether he had the ball in his hand or not, he would use his strong body to squeeze the offensive space from the backcourt, block the passing route, and don't even think about taking a walk.

This kind of defense is just two words "disgusting"!

He also did what he said, he didn't send any assistance to his teammates today, he only had Drexler in his eyes, even if his teammates were beaten out of, he wouldn't care, and his teammates didn't care about Drexler either.

Fortunately, Mutombo and Mason both resisted, and their outside teammates were able to see their defenders to death, and they didn't leak a few outside attacks in the first quarter, which allowed the two of them to focus on their defenders.

With a score of 23:18 in the first quarter, the Lakers' defense today is a bit like last year's Bulls, with almost flawless outside defense. But the difference is that they also have airtight inside penalty areas, which even Ross Barkley and Olajuwon can't penetrate.

For the Rockets, Olajuwon scored a team-high 7 points and 3 rebounds, Barkley had 6 points and 4 rebounds, followed by piecemeal scoring and ballooning by other players.

Mutombo and Mason are also single-defense opponents, the Lakers' defensive tactics today are absolute single defense, except for being close at hand to stretch out a hand, the rest of the situation just keep an eye on their own defenders, cooperation, packing, and supplemental defense are not needed at all, in a word - whoever can't prevent their own alignment, who is a dog!

Zhang Qi is definitely not a dog, in the first quarter he scored 8 points and 2 assists on the offensive end, and also had 4 rebounds and 2 steals on the defensive end, which made Drexler scoreless.

Kidd isn't a dog either, and now people talk about the Lakers' defense, for some reason, and always like to put Kidd behind. But since the last game, he has completely frozen Matt Maloney, and occasionally switched to Mario Elie.

Only Finley should be a dog, I really don't know why, his performance in the playoffs has not been good, the Lakers lost points on the outside in the first quarter are all related to him, and after replacing Starks, the Lakers did not let the Rockets score again in the last five minutes of the first quarter.

Mutombo and Mason couldn't trap Olajuwon and Ross Barkley on the inside, but they didn't allow them to play above average.

As long as these two don't score more than 25 points per game now, it is not above average, and the Lakers only need to limit the two to less than 50 points today, and they still win.

In the second quarter, Zhang Mao suddenly exerted his strength before the end of the half, and continued to attack with the ball on the outside, helping the Lakers play a 13:5 attack wave and extend the lead to 13 points in one fell swoop.

The Rockets' defense is not bad, but compared to the Lakers, they still lack some athleticism, and it is especially difficult to maintain the focus on Zhang Zhu all the time.

What Tang Shuai was most afraid of was that Zhang Wei found an opportunity to attack them, but after half a game, he still found a chance to successfully go berserk.

The Rockets knew it was impossible to leave Zhang Qi silent the whole time, and they were ready to withstand Zhang Qi's outburst. But the trouble is that their own offense, today is really not a sound. In this way, Zhang Mao's attack was particularly deadly, as they were unable to fight back.

Olajuwon and Barkley faced the Lakers' two interior stalkers, even if they could intermittently transfuse the team, but this output was not enough to form a stalemate with the Lakers. And in defense, the bleeding can't be stopped, and the point difference has been widening. Now Zhang Qi is furious, which is equivalent to suffering a big blood loss when his body is weak. It is conceivable that if they do it again, or if they still can't stop the bleeding, they should be cold in the third quarter at the latest.
