Chapter 323: Back to the Finals

In the first game, Wang Dacang made 20 shots and hit 15 shots, a shooting rate of 75 percent, scoring 36 points in the game, grabbing 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 blocks and 3 steals. The Clippers got their first game win.

However, it is worth mentioning that this game, the Clippers did not win so easily, because the Clippers' starting point guard Paul was comprehensively limited in the first game, and his performance can be said to be a bit dismal.

7 points and 6 assists, and if you change to other point guards, this number may be a good answer, but for Paul, the league's No. 1 point guard, it is indeed a bit too scummy.

It has to be said that Popovich is still a famous coach after all, and his ideas are slightly different from others.

Now basically every team that plays against the Clippers, whenever they play with the Clippers, the first thing that comes to mind is to limit Wang Cannon's scoring, because Wang Dacang belongs to the kind of pervert who can shoot a team by himself.

But Popovich is different from others, he knows that Wang Po can't be restricted, even if the two of them are staring at Wang Cannon, he can still score on people's heads, it's so shameless.

So in this case, Popovich still has to think of ways from other aspects after setting up a special defensive tactic against Wang Cannon.

After all, the team is not the only one who scores, although many times Wang Cannon's scoring accounts for the majority, but other players still have to score, if they can effectively limit the scoring of other players, Spurs also have a chance.

The Clippers' offensive knife is Wang Cannon, and many of the team's offensive tactics are arranged around Wang Cannon, but in fact, the real offensive core is not Wang Cannon, but Paul.

Because the Clippers have too many offenses that are launched from Paul, the point guard, including Wang Cannon. A large part of the offense relied on Paul's clever passing or the opportunity to play the game.

Without Paul's strategy, Wang Cannon might still be able to get a high score, but it would not be so easy to score as it is now. Even the king cannon is like this, let alone the others?

Players like Griffin and Jordan Jr. are not the kind of people who can attack with the ball on their own. So, a good point guard is crucial.

Popovich took this very seriously and made a targeted defensive arrangement for Paul.

In fact, most teams will also choose to target Paul when playing against the Clippers, but the effect of the restriction is mediocre.

The Spurs happened to limit Paul this time, and if it weren't for Wang Cannon's still strong efforts to tear apart the Spurs' defense, otherwise this game might not have been won.

That's why. The Clippers are feeling a lot of pressure, and if Paul is blocked again in the next game, will the Clippers still be able to win as before?

The second match between the two sides proved that.

In the second game, Paul's watch was even more unbearable, and the Clippers lost the game without surprise.

Although Wang scored a high score of 42 points, the Clippers scored a low team, and the total score of 81 points was the lowest score of the Clippers in this playoffs.

Paul vowed in his post-match press conference that he would bounce back strongly in the next games. Contribute more excellent performances to help the team win.

The game between the Clippers and Spurs is not particularly clear, and on the other hand, the Eastern Conference finals are not very clear.

Many people think. In the final between the Heat and the Pacers, the Heat must have won by a big score, but no one expected that the two teams would play the same as the Clippers and Spurs.

Especially Paul George of the Pacers, the table Xiàn turned out to be terrifyingly good. and James are on par in the matchup, and the Pacers' center Hibbert also showed terrifying dominance, completely controlling the Heat's interior control.

It seems destined that the finals, whether they are in the East or the West, will not end so easily.

The third game between the Clippers and Spurs takes place in San Antonio, the home of the Spurs. In this game, Paul did as he promised, and he really broke out strongly.

With 25 points, 18 assists and 4 steals in a single game, Paul finally completely broke Parker, who was opposite him. And Wang Cannon followed Paul's play, cutting 40 points and 16 rebounds, plus Griffin's 25 points and 7 rebounds, the Clippers Big Three teamed up again to score 90 points and easily beat the Spurs on the road.

The following game was the fourth game, and the Clippers won again in San Antonio.

It was Griffin who broke out this time.

He scored 34 points and 13 rebounds in the confrontation with Duncan, completely blowing up Duncan Sr., and Wang Cannon also played at a normal level, cutting 38 points and 19 rebounds, this is Wang Cannon's normal play. Paul didn't score much, but he still dished out 14 assists.

In this way, the Clippers won two of the Spurs' two home games, and the overall score was 3-1 ahead of the Spurs into the match point.

Then in the fifth game, the Clippers wanted to defeat the Spurs in one go to enter the Finals, but the Spurs obviously didn't want to give up so lightly, and after a bloody battle, the Spurs' sixth man, Ginobili, played well and scored 31 points to help the Spurs gain a foothold on the edge of the cliff.

However, in the sixth game, the Clippers did not give the Spurs another chance, and Wang Cannon burst as soon as he came up, scoring 26 points in a single quarter in the first quarter, covering all the points of the Clippers in the first quarter, and establishing an absolute advantage early, and the players of the Clippers also maintained this advantage until the end of the game.

The score between the two sides was finally locked at 4:2, and the Spurs' playoffs were over, and the Duncan Parker Ginobili brothers played a round of soy sauce in the playoffs again, ready to go back and prepare for a comeback.

The Clippers returned to the Finals after a year, and after a year, the Clippers' starting main players have not changed at all, and the players have remained in a fairly healthy state. Regardless of whether the Heat or the Pacers win in the East, the Clippers will have an absolute advantage.

When it comes to the Eastern Conference finals, I have to sigh, Paul. George's growth is so sudden, many people thought he was just a rookie with great potential one second, but he didn't expect that the next second he had already started to wrestle with James, and the two were still playing well.

The game between the Heat and the Pacers continued until the tiebreaker. The Heat finally saw how they defeated the Pacers and stumbled into the Finals.

The Heat have reached the Finals for three consecutive years and won the championship trophy twice, and if they can win the cup again this year, James will get the glory of the dynasty as he wishes.

The Clippers reached the Finals for two consecutive years, but in the first year, they regretted giving away the O'Brien Cup because of Paul's injury. There's no reason to lose this year.

The match between the two sides is undoubtedly a collision between Mars and Earth.

Both sides have the plastic surgery of the Big Three, and both sides also have a super player that the league can't prevent, the Clippers are Wang Cannon, and the Heat is James.

So the game between the two teams is quite high.

Standing on the field and looking at Wang Cannon standing opposite him, James couldn't help but feel emotional.

Although he had made this sentiment this time last year, it did not prevent him from bringing up the old story again.

Wang Cannon's appearance was so unexpected, James thought that Wang Cannon would one day become his fierce rival, but he never thought that this moment would be so fast!

In last year's finals, Wang Cannon's performance had already made James secretly frightened. If it weren't for Paul, I'm afraid the Clippers might have really won the Heat.

Coming back this year, Paul is still alive, and Wang Cannon's strength has reached a higher level, which makes James can't help but cast a shadow in his heart. How do you beat the Clippers?

"Finally, this day has finally arrived!" Sitting comfortably in the live broadcast room, Barkley sighed: "After a year, these two teams met again in the finals. ”

"Both teams have had crazy performances this season. The Heat have won 27 in a row, and the Clippers have won a terrifying 37 in a row. Breaking the league's longest winning streak that the Lakers ruled for decades. Smith continued: "To put it bluntly, these two teams are currently the two strongest teams in the league, so that the two teams can be considered a blessing for the fans, just like the scene when the Lakers and Celtics ruled the East and West in black and white." ”

"Personally, I think the Clippers and the Heat are right now. I'm afraid it's even better than the Celtics led by Bird and the Magic led by Johnson. O'Neill picked his nose and said in passing: "After all, their two teams have played for so long, and they haven't seen more than 20 consecutive wins." ”

"This is not the time! After all, the water of the alliance was still very deep at that time. Smith said with a smile, "Our main task is to explain the game now, Charles. Do you think that in this game, which side of the matchup between Wang Cannon and James will have the advantage? ”

"King Cannon." Barkley said without hesitation: "Although he is a Celestial Empire, and Yao Ming's family is from the same country, but I'm sorry, I've become his brainless fan, although I used to admire James very much, I think he is an extremely versatile player, but now I think that Wang Cannon's table is more versatile than James's all-rounder, after all, you let James grab an average of 17 rebounds per game?" You let him average 5+ steals and 5+ assists per game? ”

Smith: ""

"Shaq, what do you think?" Shaking his head, Smith looked at O'Neill again, only to be stunned to find that O'Neill was looking at the audience with a ghostly mind, "Shaq? What are you doing? ”

"Hey! Sure enough, it didn't come. O'Neill shook his head in disappointment before he said to Smith: "I started looking for it just now, and Sterling really didn't show up on the field." ”

"I think about it, I don't dare to watch my team's games anymore, after all, if I have to risk breaking the bridge of my nose in order to watch a game, even if this team is my own and it is still the finals, I won't come."

Barkley was immediately happy when he heard this, "Sterling didn't come, why did you have a disappointed expression?" ”

"Isn't that nonsense?" O'Neill's face was still uncontrollable with disappointment. "At that time, Wang Cannon punched Sterling, and I didn't get to see the first perspective, although I watched it many times in the follow-up video, I still felt more comfortable to be able to watch it live. It would be nice if Sterling was on the field and then let Wang Cannon walk up and throw a punch. ”

I don't know if Sterling watched live TV, whether he watched the commentary of O'Neill's three friends, if so, I'm afraid he will be angry to death.

Smith was also speechless, Tian Tian and Buckley O'Neal both commented on the game together, Smith's pressure is really not small, but Smith is obviously not a good product, "If the script goes the way you say, I'm afraid the happiest are the Heat players, because Wang Cannon will be banned for a few more games, and their finals won't have to be played, and the Heat will win." ”

The three sluts laughed in unison.

On the court, Wang Cannon had already greeted each other with his teammates from the Heat.

Although in the past two years, the Heat's teammates have come and gone, and there have been a number of players who are not very familiar with Wang Cannon, such as Lewis, Battier, Ray Allen and others, but people like the Big Three, Chalmers, Haslem and others are still there.

"This is the finals, I will never release water, you have to be careful!"

Wang Dacang was used to saying two cruel words, but thinking that the other party was an acquaintance, he was not embarrassed to put any nonsense, so he ran back after saying a word.

James and the others were stunned for a moment when they heard Wang Cannon's words, and looked at each other for a long time, before Wade said with some hesitation: "Was it Wang Cannon who spoke just now?" Would he still speak so softly? ”

"Don't make a fuss, maybe after someone beats the boss, they find out that they want to be a new person?" Bosh scolded Wade, but he couldn't help but laugh.

Wang Cannon is not arrogant, it really doesn't look like Wang Cannon's style.

But no matter what happened before the game, when the game started, the two sides still met each other in real time.

Playing against the Heat, the Clippers are still the main points that have always been implemented! That's total domination of the inside line! The Heat's interior line really can't be described as weak. Griffin and Jordan Jr. can almost grab two rebounds as long as they stand on the inside and reach out.

Although this is an exaggeration, it is also a portrayal of the real situation.

Of course, the Heat and the Clippers are not completely without advantages, for the Heat, the advantage lies in the firepower on the outside, and the effect of the collective power of Ray Allen, Lewis, Miller, and Battier is very scary. (To be continued......)
