Chapter 319: Divisional Semifinals, Showdown Rockets

While Harden didn't play well, the rest of the Rockets played better than the Trail Blazers.

Lillard has only one CJ McCollum by his side, but the Rockets have Paul, Gordon, PJ Tucker, Capela and other good players.

The two sides fought to a tiebreaker, and in the end, the Rockets had a slight advantage, eliminated the Trail Blazers and entered the playoffs, and met the Lakers in the semifinals.

The other group of Western Conference matchups is the Golden State Warriors, who eliminated the Oklahoma City Thunder, and the Denver Nuggets, who eliminated the Utah Jazz.

Nuggets in Nikolai. Although Jokic is leading with good strength, it is clear that there is no strong resistance against the Warriors.

As for the Lakers vs Rockets series, everyone is also more optimistic about the Lakers.

Wang Feng and Harden are old rivals, but whenever they meet Wang Feng, Harden's performance is basically not good, although there are occasional exceptions, but in most cases, Harden's shooting percentage will be limited to less than 40% by Wang Feng.

And compared to the depth of the roster, the Lakers are also significantly stronger than the Rockets.

Although in last year's playoffs, the Rockets had 7 games with the Warriors and almost overturned the Warriors, but the major media predictions before the game still believed that the Lakers could win the final game, and most of the media gave a score prediction of 4:3, that is, the two teams will fight seven games and decide the final winner in the tiebreaker.

Wang Feng doesn't think so about this.

The Rockets haven't been strong this season, nowhere near what they were last year, and neither have Harden and Paul in the playoffs.

He doesn't want to play Game 7 with a Rockets like this, and if he can, he wants to have more time and energy to prepare for the Western Conference Finals against the Golden State Warriors.

The current playoffs are completely different from the playoffs in another time and space that Wang Feng is familiar with.

The Lakers' sideshow put the Warriors, who should have been ranked first in the West, in second place in the West, and thus missed the game against the Rockets in the division semifinals.

Kevin. Durant was injured in a game against the Rockets and then sidelined for the entire Western Conference Finals, where the Warriors forced a comeback from a 3-1 deficit and eventually suffered a torn ligament for the season.

Now that the Warriors are facing the Nuggets in the Western Conference semifinals, it's hard to say whether Durant will be injured like in another time and space, and it may or may not be.

Wang Feng must be mentally prepared to face the full body Warriors in the Western Conference Finals.

However, judging from the situation in the first-round series, the Warriors are still plagued by injuries.

In the original 18-19 season, the Warriors suffered a total of 16 injuries throughout the playoffs, involving several main players including Curry, Durant, Thompson, Cousins, Iguodala, etc., and finally by the end of the Finals, Durant, Thompson, Cousins were all in the season reimbursement state, Curry, Iguodala and Livingston and others were also all small injuries.

This fully shows that the Warriors' injuries are not accidental, but collective injuries induced by the excessive physical consumption of players caused by the high-intensity regular season and playoff journey over the past five years.

Why is the NBA's dynasty so difficult to create, tracing back to the history of the league, except for the Celtics, who belonged to the early dimensionality reduction strike, only Jordan's Bulls and Lakers OK combination can create a dynasty.

Long-term high-intensity games and huge psychological pressure are burdens for players.

The Warriors can't be called a complete dynasty with 3 championships in 4 years, and the player consumption is still so drastic, let alone a real dynasty team?

From this point of view, it is also possible to get a glimpse of James's horror.

Regardless of James' winning rate in the Finals, he has entered the Finals for eight consecutive years, and he has played more time in the Finals, encountered more defensive intensity and fouls than anyone else, but in this case, James has never had a serious injury, and his attendance and state have been the same for more than ten years.

All in all, the Warriors are likely to advance to the Western Conference Finals with full personnel, and with injury concerns, Wang Feng doesn't think the Lakers don't have the strength to fight.

In order to defeat the Warriors in the Western Conference finals and win the championship, it is best to play the game against the Rockets quickly and have a few more days of rest and recharge!

……

On April 28, the first G1 match of the Western Division semifinals began.

The Lakers' starting five are still Rondo, Butler, Ingram, Wang Feng and Lopez.

The Rockets' starting five are Paul, Gordon, Harden, PJ. Tucker, and Capela.

There was no difference between the lineups and the regular season, and even the tactics after the game began.

The Rockets' defensive tactics against Wang Feng are dominated by PJ Tucker's entanglement throughout the whole process, supplemented by Capela's interior defense at any time, doing everything possible to consume Wang Feng's physical energy and reduce his shooting percentage.

On the offensive end, it is still dominated by Harden's ball-handling offense, and it is still in the form of Harden's misplaced singles with blocking and dismantling.

This move of the Rockets has been cracked by the Lakers in the regular season before, that is, as long as Harden dares to call for blocking and dismantling, the Lakers will wrap up Harden and strategically release Paul.

Paul's three-point shooting percentage this season is not high, averaging only 35.8% per game in the regular season, and it has slipped further in the playoffs, only 21.4% in the first round against the Trail Blazers, and it is really not easy for the Rockets to beat the Trail Blazers.

The Lakers, who used the bag and clamp tactics as soon as they came up, successfully suppressed Harden's point to death, although Paul's three-point shooting was not as bad as it was in the first round, but even in the open position, the efficiency was definitely not high.

Compared with Harden, who was completely confined to death, on the other hand, Wang Feng was like a god when facing the Rockets' bag tactics.

PJ. Tucker teamed up with Capela and the two had no way to take Wang Feng at all.

Three-point shot, mid-to-long-range pull-up jump shot, forced breakthrough and violent dunk to the basket.

Wang Feng, who was prone to offense like a kaleidoscope, played the two around, shooting 6 of 11 in the first quarter alone, and scoring 15 points on 3 of 5 three-pointers.

In the first quarter, the Lakers directly established a nine-point lead at 28-19, and by the second quarter of the game, the advantage was further expanded.

At 30:24, the difference by halftime had reached 15 points.

In the third quarter of the game, the Rockets' outside finally opened fire, scoring 38 points in a single quarter, while the Lakers scored 29 points, and the margin was close to single digits.

But immediately after the fourth quarter of the game, Wang Feng began to close the net.

5 of 7 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, 4 of 5 free throws, 16 points in a single quarter, and a direct wave to take away the game.

At 115:109, the Lakers won the first game and won the opener.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
