On April 12th, the regular season of the 16~17 season officially came to an end, and the "grab 8" battle in the Eastern Conference made Amerika's fans addicted.

The Heat are hoping for a surprise rollover from the Bulls, with the two sides having the same record, and if they win all of their games in the final round, then the Heat, who are also on 41 wins, will overtake the Bulls and enter this year's playoffs.

To the disappointment of Heat fans, the rotten Nets did not cause any trouble to the Bulls at all, 73:112, less than half the game, announcing that the Bulls had reached the playoffs...

Without waiting for the game to end, Heat fans on social media sprayed the Nets for their lack of sportsmanship and that Doug Rivers did not deserve to be called a championship coach!

With the end of the regular season, the Eastern and Western team rankings have also been released.

The Eastern Conference is highly competitive this year, with several teams with the same record, and the final standings are:

53 wins for the Celtics, 51 wins for the Cavaliers, 51 wins for the Dragons, 49 wins for the Wizards;

The Hawks with 43 wins, the Bucks with 42 wins, the Pacers with 42 wins, and the Bulls with 41 wins.

In the first half of the division, the Cavaliers were plagued by injuries and eventually grabbed second place.

The bottom half of the tournament was fiercely contested, with Gallinari playing well for the Pacers and making the playoffs despite the team's rebuild.

This result also made the management of the Pacers happy, with draft picks in hand and being able to play in the playoffs, which can be regarded as living up to the expectations of fans.

In the Western Conference, the team's record is crushing, and the final standings are:

74 wins for the Clippers, 67 wins for the Warriors, 61 wins for the Spurs, 58 wins for the Rockets;

The Jazz with 51 wins, the Thunder with 47 wins, the Grizzlies with 43 wins, and the Trail Blazers with 41 wins.

Durant returned from injury in early April, and the Warriors' record has fluctuated a bit, losing to the Jazz in their final few games.

The Rockets almost finished third in the spot, but Paul was injured and couldn't keep up with the March schedule, and the Spurs were scary in the final moments, and they could only finish bottom of the top half.

The night's games were all over, and the Clippers' official Instagram also showed off the prepared group photo early.

Both the NBA league and Amerika's sports media released posters of the Clippers' record for the first time.

"74 wins all-time best! Witness the birth of greatness! #快船国度#王朝球队 (Crown .jpg)"

Naturally, everyone can show their faces on the poster, and the 15 cores are not blown!

Even the water cooler keepers Connaughton and Georges Niang didn't play well in April, but they did a decent job.

Whether or not Amelika's sports media likes to see the Clippers dominate, the 74-win record is here.

Strength is not blown by blowing x, the Clippers have shown a crushing dominance with the best record in history!

That night, on TNT's show, Charles Barkley was a little silent, and this season he bragged about the Warriors, only for the Clippers to crush the league.

"74 wins, unbelievable!"

"Kayce played 78 games in the regular season this year, and considering that they had two games off in April, I even think the Clippers have a chance to get 76 wins!"

Host Ernnie Johnson didn't expect the Clippers to be so aggressive, even the players at the end of the bench played well after they came on the court...

"With 74 wins, I think the Clippers will win another championship this year, and unlike the Warriors, the Clippers have a lot of playoff experience."

"Kayce's strength doesn't need to be said more, in the playoffs, he will greatly improve his stats, this season he has an average of 30+ per game?"

"I don't care too much about the data, because the data doesn't mean anything to Kayce anymore!"

Kenny Smith has never been optimistic about the Warriors, and he has always believed that the Clippers with Paul George will dominate the league.

"I can't understand the Clippers' lineup, and don't forget that their salary is just over the poor man's line this year!"

"In contrast, the Cavaliers have the highest salary in the league, but they only have a 51-win record, and if it were me, maybe I would have given up chasing the championship, and now I kind of understand Gilbert's situation."

O'Neal was the only one of the four who favored the Cavaliers to win the championship, but now seeing 74 wins and 51 wins, it immediately understood that the Cavaliers must be out of play.

The regular season sometimes really doesn't say much, just like the 73-win Warriors failed to break out of the West, but the 74-win Clippers are different!

Last season, Li Ze's 40+ triple-doubles in the Western Finals and 50+ triple-doubles in the finals have not been too long, even if Amerika's sports media want to open their eyes and tell nonsense, fans don't buy it.

"Do you think the Warriors can make it to the Finals? Let's not forget that they also got 67 wins! ”

Host Ernnie Johnson asked the most central question of the night, and Charles Barkley finally lifted his spirits at this time and replied with a serious expression:

"If the Warriors continue to lose, then they're going to be a complete joke, and the biggest joke in history!"

"73 wins failed to reach the Finals, and when the core of the team did not move, a star player like Durant was added, and if it continues to fail, then such reinforcements will be meaningless."

"Stephen Curry has nothing, he hasn't achieved anything in his career so far, he needs a championship!"

Kenny Smith saw that his old partner had finally spoken, and immediately smiled and asked:

"Do you think the Clippers and Warriors will make it to the Western Conference Finals? Don't underestimate the Trail Blazers and Grizzlies! ”

Charles Barkley broke the jar and broke it, and simply became Li Zechui:

"The first round? Kayce can beat the Trail Blazers alone, and I respect Lillard, but the two are not players at the same level at all. ”

“...”

In recent years, at the end of the regular season, fans in Los Angeles have switched to the Clippers.

There will be such a situation, mainly because the Lakers in the same city are really pulling their hips.

In the offseason, he almost blew Ingram into the next Lee, but by the end of the season, Lakers fans were silent again.

With 26 wins and 56 losses, under the leadership of young coach Luke Wharton, the Lakers have steadily rushed to the second-to-last position in the West and the third-to-last position in the league.

The 76ers, who also believe in talent and process, have only 28 wins this season, and the Timberwolves, whose talent has exploded, have only 31 wins this year.

The talented team collectively pulled their hips, and the fans didn't expect such a talented record to dive into the champion, and the regular season ended with a big defense...

On April 13, the NBA league announced the data leaders of this season early:

This season's rebounding champion is extremely competitive, with the top three averaging only 0.4 rebounds per game.

In the end, Hassan Whiteside beat Drummond and successfully won the rebounding king award with an average of 14.1 rebounds per game.

The gap on the block list is wider, with Rudy Gobert having 0.43 more blocks than Anthony Davis in second place;

With an average of 2.6 blocks per game, Rudy Gobert won the block king this season without any suspense.

On the assist list, Li Ze has been dominating the list, beating Wall, Turtle, Paul, and Harden;

With an average of 11.8 assists per game, Li Ze won the assist king for the first time in his career.

On the steal list, Draymond Green and Wall both surpassed Li Ze's statistics, but as the regular season continued, Li Ze, who was still more stable, had the last laugh.

With an average of 2.1 steals per game, Li Ze once again won the steal king.

As for the scoring champion, although the turtle and turtle brushed it all the way and averaged 31.9 points per game, such data is still not as good as Li Ze, who was crazy in the regular season.

With an average of 33.4 points per game, Li Ze won the scoring title for the seventh time in his career.

As soon as the data leader was announced, Amelika's fans were stunned, and one person won three awards? Small awards don't leave a way to live?

Taking advantage of everyone's attention, the NBA league also took the opportunity to announce Li Ze's data for this season:

In the 16~17 season, Li Ze played an average of 28.4 minutes per game, averaging 33.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 11.8 assists, 2.1 steals, 0.5 blocks and 1.2 turnovers per game;

He averaged 15.6 shots per game and shot 68.9 percent from the field;

He averaged 8.9 shots per game from beyond the three-point line and shot 63.2 percent from three-point range and 5.1 free throws per game while shooting 92.5 percent from the free throw line.

Entering the 180 club for 6 consecutive years, Li Ze has refreshed the record he has created...

The NBA league staff saved a lot of trouble, and the sports media didn't have to run around.

In the Staples press conference room, everyone looked at Li Ze, who was dressed in a light gray suit, smiling and taking a photo with the three crystal trophies, and was speechless for a while:

"I really don't leave any way for the outside players to live..."

When Li Ze received the award, the NBA league also updated the photos on ins in a timely manner, and the caption of the photo with the three trophies was very simple:

“goat！

(Goat .jpg) (Crown .jpg) #年轻的国王"

Even more outrageous is yet to come, as ESPN released the regular season standings, fans were completely dumbfounded:

In the true hit percentage rankings, Li Ze is far ahead with a true hit rate of 93.8%, and Rudy Gobert is in second place with 68.1%;

On the hit list, Li Ze hit 922 goals this season and continued to dominate the list, and the second place Turtle Turtle hit 824 goals;

On the list of shooting percentage, Li Ze is still the first, and DeAndre Jordan, who is in second place, has a shooting rate of 67.3%;

In the three-point shooting rankings, Li Ze hit 485 three-pointers in a single season, and Stephen Curry, who ranked second, hit 324 goals, and was completely crushed by Li Ze this season!

The three-point shooting percentage ranking and free throw shooting percentage ranking also dominate the list, and as for the high-end data, it is off the charts again...

The playoffs haven't started yet, and on Amika's social media, many fans have been stimulated by Li Ze's data, and finally the garbage skin game 2k has taken the blame again:

"Hurry up and adjust the values, and the next game will be based on the current Kayce data performance!"

In previous seasons, Li Ze would leave some space for interior players, but this year it is really not human, and the ball critics of the ESPN camp simply sent a comment:

“kayce-li！ The god of basketball! (Goat.jpg)"

In the first take show of the day, Stephen A. Smith directly shouted:

"Enemies of God?"

"No one can beat Kayce, the Clippers will rule for the next 10 years!"

Max Kellerman saw that his partner had entered a berserk state, rubbed his forehead and added:

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't forget the average age and salary space of the Clippers, they don't even need reinforcements, keep the roster intact, dig deep into the bench potential, and completely dominate the league!"

"It's all over, God! It's unbelievable that I've witnessed such times! ”

“...”

Due to the NBA's approval of the players' union's proposal to emulate the Espy's awards ceremony this year, many of the awards will not be officially announced until the end of June.

For a while, Li Ze's data became the biggest hot spot, Amika's sports media was naturally a collective climax, and most of the players in the league were cold:

If you don't leave a way to live, just just give the award directly!

The Clippers did not have much pressure in the first round, so Li Ze also calmly accepted an interview with media reporters, and what disappointed everyone was that Li Ze was still very calm when he played such a statistical performance.

This kind of frivolous attitude has made Li Ze's fans excited, and on reddit, everyone has been tearing Jordan's fans in the past two days...

On April 15th, the first round of the playoffs officially started!

In the four games of the day, the teams in the top half of the league had a rollover.

At 108:109, the Cavaliers narrowly beat the Pacers, Lefou, who returned from injury, performed decently, and Irving was possessed by blacksmiths;

LeBron James, who played 43 minutes, was still the team's most consistent core, shooting 12-of-20 from the field and finishing with 32 points, 6 rebounds, 13 assists, 3 steals and 3 turnovers.

It's just that the win was not well received, and there are more people who look down on the Cavaliers!

At 82:116, the Warriors easily shot the Grizzlies, and the big man couldn't keep up with the Warriors' offensive rhythm at all, and the suspense was lost at halftime.

At 97:118, the Rockets also managed to blow up the Jazz, and Gobert became Harden's toy...

The Menglong team lost to the Bucks 97-83 at home, and Lowry entered the playoffs again, scoring 2 of 11 and 4 points...

In contrast, rookie Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 28 points on 13-of-18 shooting, showing his talent to fans for the first time in the playoffs.

...

Western Conference first-round game pundits all thought there was little suspense.

The regular season record has already spoken for itself, and after Chris Paul returned from injury, the Rockets, who finished bottom of the top half, also showed dominance.

The Trail Blazers, who have flown to Los Angeles, are in a bad mood, and no matter how confident the player is in the face of the Clippers, he will not say that he will go down.

Lillard has been pulling a face since he flew to Los Angeles, and he really can't be happy, and the team will be swept out of the tournament since he met Li Ze over the years.

The whole team is very low-key, and Evan Turner, who joined the Trail Blazers this season, is even ready for a fishing vacation...

Coach Stotts didn't say much about the win or defeat in his pre-match press conference:

'We're still a young team, we still have to learn from the defending champions, and I'm proud of the lads to be in the playoffs this season!'

The difference in strength between the two sides is indeed very large, TNT, as tonight's broadcaster, did not predict the outcome of the game before the game, and Reggie Miller, who came to the scene, became Li Zechui again:

"I believe Kayce has completely surpassed Michael Jordan, both in terms of honor and stats, Kayce is superior."

Chris Webber also did not comment on the game before the game, giving his opinion on this topic:

"There's no comparison, you know, basketball wasn't like it is now, and this season the Clippers are averaging 37.3 three-pointers per game, which was unthinkable in the past!"

"Of course, if Kayce wins again this year, then he will indeed become a well-deserved GOAT, and I am a firm champion!"

The two had been arguing about this topic for a long time before the game, and after the commentator Marv Albert got the starting line-ups for both sides, he hurriedly began to change the subject:

"Just like the regular season, the Trail Blazers will make the roster smaller!"

"CJ McCollum and Damian Lillard at the back, Evan Turner and Maurice Hackles up front, and Noah Fonon at center."

Reggie Miller, who came back to his senses, also realized that the game was about to start, so he took over with a smile:

"The Clippers have an all-round advantage, Noah Fenglai is only 2.08 meters tall, and the Trail Blazers should be careful with rebounding."

Chris Webber no longer dwelled on Li Ze's historical status, noticed the changes made to the Clippers' starting lineup, and immediately smiled and predicted:

"Every time it comes to the playoffs, P.J. Tucker earns the trust of the coaching staff, and it looks like the Clippers intend to focus on defense tonight."

In the Staples Arena, the atmosphere became more and more heated after the home team's players came out.

Lillard warmed up expressionlessly, and he was not in the mood to brag before the game, and noticed Li Ze's goal outside the three-point line in the opposite half, and couldn't help but mutter:

"It's good to win! It's good to win one game..."

When everyone in the Clippers team completely took off their training uniforms, Li Ze raised his hands and high-fived the fans at the scene, and DJ immediately led everyone to shout:

“ lets go clippers！ lets go clippers！ lets go clippers！ ”

The fans in the white cheering T-shirts all stood up and shouted along with the DJ.

This year's cheering T-shirt has a 74-8 record in the center of the chest, and the printed T-shirt on the chest is a Q-version image of the entire Clippers.

The enthusiastic fans made Lillard's heart even more irritated, and when the two sides came to the center of the court, Lillard reminded loudly:

"Watch defensive!"

The ball was tossed high by the referee, and Jokic took advantage of his height to flick the ball towards his own half.

Paul George got the ball and threw it at Lee, and the Clippers rushed across the halfcourt.

Fans at the scene could clearly feel that the Trail Blazers' formation was smaller than the Clippers.

Tucker is the shortest on the Clippers on the court, and in terms of size, he can also put Lillard in...

Evan Turner stepped forward as soon as Lee Ze passed the half, and from the point of view of his body, this is indeed the most suitable player for the Trail Blazers to defend Li Ze.

Aiming at the lack of pick-and-roll cover behind him and approaching the three-point line, Evan Turner hurriedly opened some gaps to prevent Li Ze from accelerating to break through.

Taking advantage of the opposite direction to move back, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, suddenly sank his shoulders and quickly pushed the ball to change direction.

Evan Turner hurriedly slid to the left back, and Li Ze, who had been switched to his right hand, immediately dribbled under his crotch and at the same time used his feet to complete the retreat.

In the cheers of the fans at the scene, Li Ze, who returned to the top of the arc, ignored Evan Turner's save and quickly jumped outside the three-point line!

"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!

After the goal, Li Ze did not celebrate too much, but made a tactical gesture to remind his teammates to settle down as planned.

Lillard seemed to feel that Li Ze's hand was hot, and his face was even more gloomy, he didn't like to play against the Clippers at all...

Just after halftime, Lillard, who was holding the ball in his right hand, was led by Li Ze.

The two teams have played each other many times in the playoffs, and Lillard has also stopped his head and gave the ball to Evan Turner on the right wing as soon as possible.

Noah Fonlai immediately stepped up to cover, and Evan Turner immediately spotted Paul George letting go of his three-pointer...

Jokic crouched to defend, Paul George went down the line and delayed, and Evan Turner's 45-degree cut from the right didn't get any chances.

Break into the paint zone and quickly flick the ball to McCollum on the left wing.

Halfway through the offensive time, McCollum didn't want to block and dismantle, and immediately put the ball with his right hand after receiving the pass, and broke through in a step.

Sensing that the Clippers' defense had all shrunk to near the paint zone, McCollum had no choice but to push Tucker on his side, break to the free throw line, and make a mid-range step-back jumper.

"Bang!"

As soon as the ball bounced up, and the basket was full of Clippers players, Jokic grabbed the rebound and threw the ball forward with his right hand.

Li Ze, who was fast in advance, received the pass as soon as possible, and Lillard tried his best to counter on his side, but soon found that there was no effect, and Li Ze rushed faster and faster...

In the blink of an eye, the two of them were already entangled in the paint area, and Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, did not slow down, and rushed directly after closing the ball.

Ignoring Lillard, who jumped up to block on his side, Li Ze grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand, pulled his arm back, carried the defense in the air, and slammed the ball into the basket!

"Boom!" Convert the dunk to get it!

Staples Arena erupted in loud cheers, and Lillard cursed after landing on the ground, how to defend this? ...

Watching Li Ze pacing small steps and slowly retreating, Coach Stowe on the sidelines hurriedly reminded his players to stabilize themselves.

“defense！ defense！ defense！ ”

In the huge defensive cheers, everyone in the Trail Blazers didn't know what the head coach was shouting, and the tactics arranged before the game were completely useless.

In order to protect Jokic, the Clippers' outside line is all about starting to defend from receiving the ball, giving them physical confrontation, and trying to squeeze through the cover.

Allow Evan Turner, Hackles, and Noah Fonlai to score easily.

A simple defensive strategy, but it has received very good results.

It was also a half-time pass, and after the ball went around in a circle, McCollum didn't force the attack and gave the ball to Evan Turner again.

The three little men were clearly going to make hand-to-hand passes on the line, and Paul George had already had a tacit understanding with Li Ze, and suddenly stepped up the physical confrontation, almost forcing Evan Turner to stop the ball.

The hand-to-hand at the top of the arc failed to hit, Lillard simply ran back to the right wing, and wanted to come to the top of the arc again to catch the ball after the dummer, but he didn't expect to still not get rid of Li Ze.

Seeing that the core players could not receive the ball and the tactics were killed again, McCollum hurriedly ran to the left flank to reconnect.

The moment he received the pass, Hackles in the bottom left corner hurriedly stepped forward to cover, but the blocking quality pulled his hips and was squeezed by Tucker.

Coupled with the fact that Harris had changed defenses, the two directly blocked McCollum on the left touchline.

The Clippers fans shouted excitedly, and McCollum struggled to get the ball back to Hackles, who bounced outside to the left wing.

The latter was unguarded in the big open position, took a look, and shot a jump shot from outside the three-point line!

The ball smashed directly into the back edge of the basket, the long rebound ball popped up, and Li Ze, who shrank into the paint area, accurately predicted the landing point of the ball and steadily closed the backcourt rebound.

As soon as Li Ze got the ball, Paul George quickly descended along the left sideline, and Harris began to accelerate on the other side.

The two took away the defense of Evan Turner and Hackles, and Lillard was crushed by Li Ze all the way across the halfline.

The Clippers, who are looking to switch offense, like nothing more than to take advantage of such misplaced opportunities.

Li Ze, who was accelerating with the ball in his left hand, approached the three-point line and immediately pulled his hip back sharply, and the sudden emergency stop immediately made Lillard's defense temporarily out of position.

There was still a small step away from the three-point line, but Li Ze did not hesitate, quickly closed the ball after the step was reset, ignored Lillard, who was defending, and quickly jumped out of the three-point shoot!

"Huh!" Three-pointer again!

"God! I have to start sympathizing with the Trail Blazers, there is no disrespect for the players, the gap between the two sides is just too big! ”

Chris Webber looked at Li Ze with a calm expression and raised three fingers, and couldn't help but complain about the situation on the field.

In less than 2 minutes, the Clippers played a wave of 8:0, and commentator Marf Albert also said helplessly:

"The Clippers were able to play 74 wins, and a lot of the time they relied on defense, and the rest of the Trail Blazers had to step up and score in time!"

After just two rounds, Lillard broke the defense, and he found it too difficult to get the ball back after he handed the ball.

The expected Evan Turner playmaking didn't show up, and Paul George let out a defensive break, and he opened with the appearance of a casual shot...

Seeing that the team couldn't score, Lillard was not handing over the ball, facing Li Ze's defense in the middle of the half, holding the ball in his left hand and protecting the ball with his back, slowly approaching the three-point line.

Noah Vonne can come to the outside of the three-point line to make a false cover, and at the top of the arc to Lillard's right side, he can pull Jokic out of the paint.

Lillard, who was holding the ball in his left hand, saw the opportunity, and suddenly accelerated after half turning and feintting, feeling as if he had thrown off Li Ze, and Lillard had enough strength to go straight to the basket!

Jokic didn't mean to return to the defense at all, and Lillard, who was sprinting at full speed, didn't notice that Li Ze behind him had been chasing after him.

Rushing up in three steps, Lillard grabbed the ball with his left hand, wanted to smash the ball into the basket, and when he flew to the highest point, he was directly pressed on the rebound by Li Ze, who jumped high from behind!

"Oh!

”

Seeing Lillard, who had lost his body's center of gravity, fell to the floor, the fans at the scene subconsciously let out an exclamation, and then the cheers rose again, and Li Ze took the ball and rushed again.

Everyone on the Trail Blazers hurriedly retreated, and Lillard, who got up from the floor, completely broke the defense and chased after him.

There were more plays in the front court, and Li Ze just dribbled past half court and immediately passed the ball to Paul George on the right wing outside the three-point line.

The latter received the ball and put the ball in his right hand to break through, and McCollum kept sliding to the left back.

It's a pity that the difference between the two is too big, and they were finally crushed by Paul George and broke through to the basket, and put the basket with his right hand!

0:10, continuous transition offense, allowed the Clippers to take a 10-point lead at the beginning.

The Staples Arena was completely furious, and the Clippers fans didn't mind the home team's abuse, and for a while, the emotions were high, and the noise was getting louder and louder.

Coach Stotts stood next to him and seemed completely stunned, not asking for a timeout or shouting loudly.

On the Clippers' side, coach De Nagro was leaning back tactically on the bench at this time, looking calm:

"What is a champion coach!"

The Trail Blazers' first score came on McCollum's breakaway, where he was knocked to the ground by Tucker and the referee blew the whistle...

Tucker didn't defend himself either, he came on the court to play against the small guard.

"My players were knocked down, how could this be a common foul?"

Coach Stowe wants the referee to blow the penalty strictly, and the current confrontation scale Trail Blazers are a little unbearable, but unfortunately such feedback is destined to not be responded.

McCollum was hit hard and hit a second free throw from the free throw line.

Harris took the rebound and didn't need anyone else to pick it up, and everyone on the Clippers rushed to the opposing halfcourt.

After Li Ze came to the right flank, he immediately signaled his teammates to open up the attacking space.

Tucker ran to the bottom right corner for the first time, Tucker Jokic stopped at the left elbow of the free throw line, and Paul George sank to the left bottom corner.

McCollum sensed something was wrong and stared at Paul George in front of him, with Harris moving to the left wing and quickly giving the ball to Jokic.

McCollum noticed Harris moving toward the left corner, and the moment Paul George activated, he subconsciously thought the Clippers wanted to play a cross-cover.

Just as McCollum was sliding to the right and McCollum was fully reacting, Paul George suddenly ran back and cut in from the baseline.

received a ground-hitting pass from Jokic, jumped with both feet, took advantage of the situation to pick up the ball in a big circle, and won the one-arm dunk!

"Ahh

”

Paul George, who completed the dunk, screamed after landing on the ground, which once again ignited the atmosphere of the scene, and Coach Stoss couldn't stand it and reluctantly asked for a timeout.

At 1:12, the Trail Blazers don't seem to be able to fight back...

Li Ze walked to the bench with a smile on his face, and high-fived everyone to celebrate by the way.

Paul George even jumped back to his seat and smiled and patted Jokic, who gave the assist, for the first time, he felt that the playoffs would be so easy.

"The Trail Blazers' backcourt double-shot encounter with the Clippers' defense was completely suppressed!"

"Under the high-intensity confrontation, the Trail Blazers can't guarantee the consistency of the jump shot."

Chris Webber didn't blame Lillard too much, and in the face of Li Ze's defense, pulling across is normal.

"The Trail Blazers need to be mindful of the transition offense, and they need to be mindful of the quality of the screen, Lillard can't solve the problem one-on-one, and the others have to help him."

Reggie Miller also didn't want to see the game completely one-sided, and he couldn't complain about the small lineup put on by the Trail Blazers...

Commentator Marv Albert only feels that the Clippers' offense is too fast-paced, and the old man has been a little uncomfortable with the current game in the past two years:

"This season, the Clippers averaged 88.3 rounds per game in the regular season, which is the first in the league, with an average of 116.7 points per game, and the offensive firepower is also the first in the league!"

"When it comes to the rotation, if Eric Gordon can maintain his regular-season form, then the Clippers are simply unstoppable."

After talking about these two statistics, TNT's commentator was a little silent, this game must be one-sided, the gap is too big.

After the timeout, the Trail Blazers did not make any personnel changes, and in order to maintain offensive firepower, the two guns had to be present.

Limited defensive resources at the front line were focused on Li Ze and Paul George, and Harris could have had a noticeable mismatch in a few rounds.

Harris only needs to force the basket and get close to the basket for a turnaround jumper to score points on McCollum's head.

With 6:02 left in the first quarter, Lillard, who had breathed a sigh of relief after an official timeout, finally scored points.

Lillard, who retreated sharply near the free throw line, made a strong mid-range shot, and frequently hit the iron, did not celebrate, and quickly retreated with his head down.

At 11:24, McCollum stood in his own half and saw such a score, and he lost his fighting spirit for a while...

Finally fell into a positional battle, seeing Li Ze dribbling the ball through the half court with his left hand and approaching the left wing, Lillard let go of Tucker in the bottom left corner.

Raising his hands high and cooperating with Evan Turner to wrap up Li Ze, Lillard was not slow, but Li Ze reacted faster.

The moment the opponent changed his defensive strategy, Li Ze suddenly accelerated, strode with his right foot and vigorously exploded the ball with his left hand, turned quickly, scooped the ball with his right hand, lowered his center of gravity and moved towards the top of the arc by Evan Turner.

The Trail Blazers' defensive formation immediately went haywire, and Hackles, who was guarding Paul George on the right wing, was a little confused, and he didn't know whether to wrap up Lee.

Seeing Evan Turner cut in the middle at the top of the arc and accelerated through, Hackles followed his body's reaction and subconsciously slid to complete the cut.

As soon as the opponent's defense moved, Li Ze, who was about to complete the breakthrough, took the opportunity to throw the ball to Paul George on the right flank.

After receiving the pass, Hackles realized that he had made a mistake in defense, and it was too late to save, and he could only watch Paul George make an easy jumper from beyond the three-point line.

"Huh!" Three-pointer again!

On the Clippers bench, the atmosphere team immediately flicked the towel, and the game was stable!

At 11:27, the difference came to 16 points, and the bench of the Trail Blazers was completely silent, and everyone looked straight at the main lineup with a hard score.

McCollum can take advantage of some mid-range opportunities on the offensive end, but he can be a soft spot for the Trail Blazers on the defensive end.

Falling into positional battles, McCollum reluctantly found that no matter who he was playing against, the defenders would do cross-cover in the left and right low positions.

“lets go clippers！ lets go clippers！ lets go clippers！ ”

Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, slowly moved to the right flank after dribbling through the half.

Without a trap, Paul George on the left flank cut diagonally to the right near baseline, but Tucker made a cross screen.

Huck Lai wanted to squeeze through the first time, but was delayed by Tucker, so he had no choice but to change his guard and was forced to follow Tucker to the bottom left corner.

Paul George came to the right blocking position, received a pass from Li Ze and turned around, took a big tentative step with his right foot, and then raised the ball to shake.

McCollum's defensive center moved slightly, and Paul George immediately released the ball with his right hand, blasted the ball vigorously and then stepped back directly, drifting back to the baseline and throwing a shot!

"Huh!" Steady hit from mid-range!

After being chased for several rounds in a row, McCollum also broke the defense at this time, and smashed the ball twice while serving from the baseline.

The laughter, cheers, and fragrant taunts on the scene made it difficult for the Trail Blazers to continue to stay calm, and the excessive point difference made them subconsciously speed up the offensive tempo.

Evan Turner made his first three-point attempt on the right wing and hit a shot when he was cleared.

Seeing Li Ze accept the long rebound and launch a conversion offense, the Clippers fans erupted in huge cheers.

Lillard, who couldn't keep calm, grabbed it for the first time, but was flashed by Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand.

Evan Turner made a save on the halfway line, and Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, turned sharply, shook off a position and continued to accelerate with his right hand.

Everyone in the Trail Blazers seemed to be paying attention to Li Ze, but they didn't expect that as soon as they were close to the three-point line, Li Ze threw the ball off the upper left side of the basket!

The unguarded Paul George fished the ball in the air and took advantage of the situation to come to a folding dunk!

"Boom!"

The hoops exploded, the Staples Arena went on a complete spree, and Steve Ballmer, like the front-row fans, stood up and waved his fists in celebration.

Coach Stotts sat back on the bench with a blank face, looked at the two defenders, Aaron Crabbe and Shabazz Napier, and shook his head helplessly.

Despite the subsequent substitution of Aminu, the Trail Blazers' offense relied on piecemeal backcourt shots.

And the height of the inside line has dropped, and there are problems with rebounding.

Harris hit the iron from mid-range, and Jokic made it over Aminu's head to add the ball...

The Clippers replaced Tucker and Paul George with Eric Gordon and Ingles with 1:56 left in the first quarter.

I thought I could take a breath, but I didn't expect it to rain again in the last 1 minute.

Lillard, who was almost invisible in the first quarter, watched Eric Gordon receive the ball on the right wing outside the three-point line and throw it in the transition offense, and he was a little dazed for a while.

The cheers in the arena signaled another goal, and McCollum crossed his hands on his hips as he watched Li Ze and Eric Gordon high-five in celebration, completely losing his temper...

At the end of the first quarter, at 20:40, the Clippers fans on the scene began to celebrate the victory of the game!

The three people in the commentary table looked at each other every day, and in the end, it was Reggie Miller who took the lead in speaking:

"Kayce played so well! 5-of-5, 2-of-2 from beyond the three-point line, 12 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block, he completely controlled the rhythm of the game! ”

“...”

Chris Webber was speechless, this game was a defensive counterattack, and he didn't even see Li Ze's mid-range.

Commentator Marv-Albert hurriedly picked up the conversation:

"There are still three quarters to go, and the Trail Blazers still have a chance!"

As soon as he finished saying this, he found that the two people next to him were looking at him, the old man shrugged his shoulders and smiled awkwardly, this game is really gone...

After the start of the second quarter, Coach Stowe noticed that the Clippers were getting more and more rotated.

Brogdon, Eric Gordon, Ingles, Paul George, Plumlee came first.

Subsequently, Jaylen Brown, Lee, Tucker, and Jokic rotated again, and seemed to sense that there was no pressure on the game, and Norman Bowell and Looney also entered the rotation.

In the third quarter of the game, all 12 players activated by the Clippers appeared on the court.

Only Connaughton, Georges Niang, and Siakam failed to make it to the activation list, and they watched everyone play more and more on the field...

Seeing that Jaylen Brown assisted Jaylen Brown to complete a one-handed dunk under the basket, George Niang on the bench waved his towel, and immediately said to Connaughton next to him after sitting down:

"Let's try to show myself in training sessions! Shet! Is it so easy to score in the playoffs? No wonder they left the Clippers and everyone got a good contract! ”

As a second-round show, Georges Niang's eyes are already green with envy, and data is beauty

Knives, getting into the rotation lineup, and getting a multi-million guaranteed contract doesn't seem like a difficult thing to do.

Connaughton is not too optimistic, since he called the Clippers, he has transformed into a three-point shooter, this season mainly polishing defense, when he thinks of his competitors, he is a little helpless and mutters:

"It's not easy to get into the 12-man squad!"

Siakam Jr. is not worried about the contract, but is a little envious of the players who can play...

Coach De Nagro found that no matter how the roster is adjusted, as long as there is a core on the floor, the Clippers can crush the opponent:

"It's time to prepare for the next round in advance!"

At the end of the third quarter of the game, the Clippers fans at the scene saw that Li Ze had changed into a training uniform, and they all felt a little regretful.

The scene they saw the most this season was Li Ze eating oranges in the fourth quarter of the game...

"13-of-15, 5-of-7 from beyond the three-point line, 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, 35 points, 6 rebounds, 15 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, no turnovers, how to evaluate Kayce's performance?"

[The problem of slow update of new chapters has finally been solved on the app that can change the source, download it here.]

Commentator Marv-Albert saw that Li Ze had started eating oranges again, and immediately asked questions to the two people beside him.

"Probably a little sweaty? Unlike last year, this year's Kayce will come back at the price, and the game is indeed a lot easier. ”

Reggie Miller commented with a smile, Chris Webb was speechless, and finally said dryly:

"With a shooting percentage of more than 8 percent, the Trail Blazers will readjust their defense in the next game!"

Lilla sat on the bench with a face, and although he knew that there would be a gap between the two starters, he really didn't expect the rotation to seem to be even bigger...

Despair wells up in my heart, considering the age of the Clippers, the future is bright!

At the end of the game, the final score was fixed at 92:131, and the Clippers defeated the Trail Blazers at home and ushered in a good start to the playoffs.

In Staples Arena, Clippers fans continued to celebrate after the game, and instead of giving an interview to TNT, Li Ze pushed Paul George up with a smile.

Paul George, who was 9-of-16 from the field and 3-of-6 from beyond the three-point line, and had 26 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 turnovers, happily hugged and greeted Li Ze.

In the final interview with the famous TNT journalist David Aldridge, he simply set up a flag:

"Kudos to the Trail Blazers, it's a great playoff game!"

"But considering the difference between the two sides, I think we can already think about the next round opponent in advance!"

David Aldridge almost laughed out loud when he heard Paul George's answer:

"Congratulations again, Paul, and I hope to see you in the finals!"

Paul George laughed and nodded, and saw Lillard silently walking towards the players' tunnel, and his heart was even more proud:

"This series is all about sweeping!"
