"It was an unexpected game, Leonard played so badly, and if he hadn't played so badly, the Spurs wouldn't have lost so badly." Penguin Sports, the fat man Ke Fan said stupidly.

Ke Fan admires the Spurs system very much, and thought that the series between the Lakers and the Spurs would be a battle between the dragons and the Spurs, but he didn't expect Leonard to mess around, causing the Spurs to have no power to fight back against the Lakers.

"I don't think it's that simple, Popovich can't be dumber than us, and if he thinks the Spurs have what it takes to win the whole series, he's definitely not going to let Leonard do that." Teacher Su Qun gave a completely different view.

"What do you mean, Mr. Su?"

"I personally think that the Spurs have a chance to win one or two games against the Lakers, but it is really unlikely that they will win the series, and even if they want to win, they have to return to their home court to rely on home court advantage, Leonard can't replace Duncan's role in 2013 and 2014 for the time being, at least he doesn't have Duncan's level on the offensive end in those years, Duncan is old in those two years, but the role of breaking through the opponent's defense and the defense under the basket is still one of the strongest interior lines in the league. If Popovich thinks he can win the whole series and even win the championship, he will definitely stop Leonard at the beginning of the first quarter, and we have seen a lot of things like him calling a timeout at the beginning, but he probably chose to hone Leonard in the playoffs. Of course, this is just my opinion......"

……

Just like the opinion of Su Qun's commentator, who is known for his professionalism in China, in fact, the gap between the Lakers and the Spurs is bigger than people and even the Lakers imagined!

Popovich knows this all too well, and the troika looks like they still have the strength to fight, but their role is far worse than in previous years.

The newcomer David Westerlian is quite old, Aldridge is very good, and even the strongest of the Spurs' current players, but he can't fit into the Spurs system, he can only be a mid-distance singles player, although Aldridge is still efficient, but his scoring often has little effect, and can only play a role in the stalemate, but he can't be like when he first joined the Spurs, he was expected by fans to become Duncan's successor.

The Lakers are now almost at the peak of team history, and the strongest year in the history of the Spurs is undoubtedly 2014, and if the Spurs still have the strength of 2014, they are unlikely to be able to miss the Lakers, at least 4-6.

However, Popovich knows very well that they are not as good as they were in 2014, and if they want to beat the Lakers in the playoffs, especially since the Lakers have home-court advantage, their chances of winning the entire series are quite slim.

……

When: May 7th.

Where: Staples Center.

Event: The Lakers won Game 2 of the series 109-95.

After Leonard's first loss to the Lakers, he calmed down and felt that he was not enough, and then took the initiative to talk to Popovich, admit his mistakes, and then integrate into the team and play against the Lakers.

However, as Popovich expected and Su Qun's commentator's analysis, the Spurs are indeed not the opponent of the Lakers.

The Lakers are so strong, it's better than the 2001 Lakers who were almost invincible in the playoffs!

The Spurs used Parker's speed to keep up with Kobe's movement, which was done well, Danny Green was also effective in restricting Clarkson, and Duncan was also good at defending Whiteside under the basket, and Aldridge still had a head with Green.

But Liu Ren's point is indeed something that the Spurs can't defend.

There's mid-range shots, three-pointers, and even weird but powerful low-post offense under the basket.

Organizational skills aside, Liu Ren's personal ability may not be worse than James's! Especially COSCO!

Leonard can defend against James, but it doesn't mean that he can guard against Liu Ren, because Liu Ren is not afraid of him blocking the breakthrough, compared to the inside fight, Liu Ren prefers the feeling of shooting the opponent to death, perhaps influenced by Curry.

Leonard obviously couldn't guard against Liu Ren alone, and the rest of the Spurs didn't dare to wrap it, and the rest of the Lakers leaked out.

In the playoffs, the Lakers players also played happily in the regular season, and began to make their own sacrifices and contributions in the playoffs, everyone was constantly running to create single opportunities for Liu Ren, and once the Spurs wrapped Liu Ren, Liu Ren threw the ball to Green or Gasol and Antetokounmpo, and these three people could pass the Spurs' defensive system to the collapse.

At this time, people found out that the first game was not an accident, but that the Spurs really couldn't beat the Lakers.

This is going to the Western Conference Finals, and people find out that the best team in the league is still the Lakers! They can all hit the spurs!

And the game between the Warriors and the Spurs is basically five or five, and the Lakers are completely deliberately showing weakness in the regular season! Coupled with the 15 games that Liu Ren was suspended, they deliberately completely shifted people's attention to the Warriors who happened to have an amazing record!

……

……

From the consternation of the fans, to the sudden brightness of the fans, to the expectations of the fans, to the final exclamation of the fans, the Lakers swept the Spurs 4-0 in one go!

The Lakers won all 4 games!

Liu Ren scored crazy points, averaging 38 points per game in 4 games, with a shooting rate of 53 percent, and the most terrifying thing is that he only averaged only 4 free throws per game, which means that Liu Ren shot the Spurs alive in the middle and long distances, and did not give Duncan the opportunity to assist in the defense, and the Spurs did not dare to wrap up the outside line, Liu Ren shot the Spurs to death!

And the no-fly zone built by Whiteside under the basket, and the four supplements that Green and Liu Ren constantly change defenses are the key points that the Lakers can lock the Spurs to!

In addition to Kobe, Nick Young, and Korver, three outside three-pointers who are not called top running pitchers, as well as sharp LaVine, Clarkson, Antetokounmpo, and Green and Gasol......

Not dragging the mud at all, the 4-0 Lakers won eight consecutive games in the playoffs and advanced to the Western Conference Finals!

This was something that no one had thought of before the series began, but after the Lakers played the entire series and played at a perfect level of dominance, people were less surprised.

Isn't that what they expect from the Lakers before the season begins? At that time, the Lakers ranked first in various battle power rankings, and some ranking media wrote a word directly in the Lakers' ranking profile in order to attract attention, that is, invincible.

It's just that the Warriors' performance was too bright, and the Lakers themselves played a tepid record that was not up or down, so people shifted their attention to the Warriors, and the pressure was borne by the Warriors.

And the Warriors, who have a huge pressure to win, and if they don't win the championship, they will lose, and when they meet the Thunder, something big happens......
