The Clippers' score of 3:0 Lakers really fell through the eyes of many people.

Although everyone knows that the Clippers have an obvious upper hand over the Lakers in both the regular season record and the direct matchup, the lineup gap between the two teams is really huge.

Who would have imagined that the Lakers, who have James + inner twin towers, were so vulnerable in front of the Clippers, and were directly beaten 3:0, and when they were once leading by a large score at home, they could also be caught up, and the gap in strength was not half a point.

James's strange offensive choice in the last moments was also regarded as the target of the public and was sprayed wildly, although his statistics throughout the game were not bad and he was the best performance of the Lakers, but even this could not erase his performance like a war criminal at critical moments.

"Wang Chao, James, incomparably stark contrast."

"When the team is in a stalemate, Wang Chao can always stand up and use his own offense to help the team catch up with the point difference, and he has staged many stunner scenes at critical moments."

"James, on the other hand, always wants to pass the ball to his teammates at critical moments, or use his best ball-holding breakthrough to attack, completely ignoring what the team really needs."

"Although James has not had a lot of shots at key moments, because of the choices made in many key periods, he always gives the impression that he is not good at key shots, and after the series with the Clippers, this impression will undoubtedly be even deeper."

"With a score of 3:0, the Lakers are finished, and in the history of the NBA, there has never been a team that can complete a comeback after falling behind 0:3, although the Lakers operated very successfully last summer, getting James and Cousins successively, but they still have a long way to go to win the championship."

At this moment, Lakers fans can no longer shout the slogan of "Lakers Championship", but many people shout the slogan of refusing to sweep and refuse to shave their heads.

If you lose, you lose, there is no way, who let the team just form this season and need time to run in?

But even if you lose, you can't be swept by a humiliating 4:0, which is too embarrassing.

It's just that...... This kind of thing, they don't say it, and even the Lakers don't say it, it depends on the will of the Clippers.

I don't know what the team thinks, at least the Clippers fans don't think about the love of the same city team at all, and shouted the slogan of sweeping the Lakers early.

The fans of the Lakers and the Clippers are not very good old irons, and fans on both sides often break out into verbal battles and even fists and kicks.

Lakers fans have mocked Clippers fans with the team's glorious past as an NBA giant.

Now that there is an opportunity to teach each other a hard lesson, how can they let it go?

Under the public opinion, even if the Clippers themselves don't have that idea, they must think about seriously dealing with the problem of winning the game.

But they don't even need to think about it.

Wang Chao has always been a cautious person, James disgusted him at the All-Star time, although there has been a revenge for beating the other party with 81 points in the All-Star Game, but this revenge is not completely avenged.

The playoffs can be met directly, just to meet Wang Chao's intention, of course he will not leave any mercy, he can sweep and sweep!

May 6, 2019, Staples Center.

Game 4 of the Clippers vs Lakers series.

Less than half of the game was played, and the Lakers had already begun to have fans leave the court early.

The Lakers under 3:0 had no fighting spirit and played without aggression at all, just judging from the process of the game, it seemed that the Clippers were the team that was cornered 0:3.

With such a big gap in motivation, how can there be suspense about the outcome of the game?

At halftime, the Clippers had established a 20-point lead, and Wang Chao went off the break early, replacing the bench with Lu Wei and Harrell galloping on the court.

James, who was unwilling to fail like this, tried to turn the tide many times, but after all, he was surrounded by Cousins and Towns, especially the latter, who was a player who could lie down with peace of mind, and he was already destined to lose the game, so he didn't play seriously at all.

James, who was lonely, finally sat on the bench after more than halfway through the third quarter, but the expression on his face was indescribable.

He lost to Wang Chao again, and was swept out of the tournament again.

Although he has also won against Wang Chao twice in his career, it is simply insignificant compared to the number of times he has lost.

And Wang Chao's two failures were due to objective reasons, the first was the injury reimbursement of Da Yao, the core of the Rockets' interior, and the second was to lead the Nets, which had just been formed for a season and had no helpers in the team.

In the two encounters, James is a big three configuration, while the lineup of the Wang Chao team is very bad, which can be described as a win.

Even this time the Lakers were swept, and judging from the lineup on paper, it was still James's Lakers who were stronger.

But you just can't beat it, do you say it's angry?

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, James habitually launched a fast attack directly into the locker room, and the first one disappeared from sight, obviously not intending to face the verbal criticism of reporters.

4:0。

The Clippers completed a sweep of the Lakers in the second round of the Western Conference, which surprised many fans who were looking forward to this battle.

I haven't used my strength yet, why did you fall down first?

The Clippers, who swept the Lakers, became the first team to win the second round and advance to the division finals.

On the Western side, the game between the Warriors and the Nuggets is still going on, and it is clear that this group of matchups looks like a group with a large gap in strength, but the Warriors have not been able to solve the battle as easily as the Clippers swept the Lakers.

There are two reasons for this.

First, the Nuggets' home-court advantage is the strongest in the league, and the plateau climate coupled with the Devils' home court makes even the Warriors feel quite a headache.

Second, the Nuggets' lineup is not bad, Mitchell and Murray have played well in the playoffs, Gobert has always implemented the role of the inside anchor, and the strong defense has caused the Warriors a headache.

After four games, the two teams actually fought to a 2:2 draw, won their respective home stadiums, and then went to the battle of Tianwang Mountain.

Nuggets fans are naturally ecstatic about such a result, but they didn't expect that the team without Wang Chaohou would be so strong and inseparable from a super strong team like the Warriors.

But Warriors fans weren't so happy.

If even the Nuggets play so hard, how will they have a chance to win when they face the Clippers in the Western Conference finals?

Cousins' departure did liberate the offensive firepower of the Warriors' death five, but at the same time, it also made the Warriors' interior extremely weak, and even Gobert seemed to be unstoppable under the basket, and even played a 20+20 performance in the G3 game.

It can only be said that the strengths of the Warriors have become better, and the shortcomings have become more obvious.

The key G5 battle of Tianwang Mountain, after all, the Warriors are superior, in Curry's single game with 34 points and 8 assists, the Nuggets lost to the Warriors and lost, 3:2, the Warriors took the lead in winning the match point, and then in the G6 away game, facing the Nuggets' devils to win the game at home, 4:2 to advance to the Western Conference finals.

Although the Nuggets fell short in front of the Warriors, they were different from the Lakers who were swept 4-0.

Although the Nuggets fell short in front of the Warriors, they were different from the Lakers who were swept 4-0.

On the other hand, the treatment of the Lakers after the game can be described as a stinky street, and the Zhan Hei collectively have high C, and there are countless materials for ridiculing and ridiculing James.

The Lakers' split pot conference, as always, averaged 16 + 9 per game in four games, Towns, who averaged 16 + 9 per game, Cousins, who was 18 + 10, was the second pot, and the third pot was buckled on the head of Rondo, who averaged 6 + 8 per game, on the grounds that Rondo, as a guard, had a three-point shooting rate of less than 30%, which neither gave James room nor could prevent Lowe, an absolute war criminal.

And James has become the most innocent one of the Lakers in many people's mouths, after all, James, who averaged 29 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists per game in four games, although he lost the game, his personal data is not bad at all, and the shooting rate has been maintained at 50%, what does the loss have to do with me Zhan?

As for whether the loss really has anything to do with James, it will be up to the wise.

——

The West side finally stood out and will face off in the Western Finals, which is the Los Angeles Clippers led by Wang Chao and the Golden State Warriors led by Curry, a classic showdown.

No matter which team Wang Chao is on, the opponent who has played the most in the playoffs in recent years is Curry's Warriors besides James.

Including last year's Western Conference finals, it was also the Nuggets vs Warriors.

The warrior also fell into blood mold, met Wang Chao every year, and tragedy every year, as strong as the warrior's death for five years and still haven't won a championship, which is also amazing enough.

This year, the Warriors will also have a hard time getting their wish, and the combination of Curry + Thompson + Ingram + Green looks very good, but the shortcomings are still too obvious.

In contrast, the matchup in the east is more innovative.

The Nets vs. Cavaliers drama has lasted for several years, and the team that entered the Eastern Conference finals this year has finally changed.

The Bucks, led by Antetokounmpo, defeated the Celtics led by Irving in the second round and successfully entered the Eastern Conference Finals, facing the Brooklyn Nets, who eliminated the Charlotte Hornets 4-2.

There are still a lot of highlights for Brother Alphabet, a new generation of powerful forwards, against Durant, but judging from the comparison of the lineups of the two teams, the Bucks are undoubtedly at an absolute disadvantage, and the reason why the Nets' regular season record is lower than that of the Bucks is only second, and it is more because of injuries.

In any case, as the time came to mid-May, the East-West finals began one after another.

On May 14, the Clippers ushered in the first game of the Western Conference finals at home.

The Clippers' starting five are still Wang Chao, Brogdon, Harris, Gallinari and Lopez.

The Warriors started Curry, Thompson, Ingram, Green and Kevin. Rooney.

In the face of the Clippers, the Warriors' starting lineup made some adjustments, and did not use the classic death five lineup as soon as they came up, because although Lopez's rebounding ability is average, his offensive ability on the inside is still good, at least Green will have a hard time defending Lopez because of the height gap.

But this adjustment is not very effective.

The current Looney is not the future Looney who can become a strong defensive gate for the Warriors inside, although he has been in the league for five seasons, his personal ability is still slightly lacking.

As soon as the game started, Lopes decisively pulled outside the three-point line, and the helpless Rooney could only follow the defense, and even because his reaction was half a beat slower, Lopes found an empty opportunity to shoot a three-pointer directly.

Of course, Rooney and López alignment is only a minor issue.

For the Warriors, the biggest problem has always been Wang Chao.

How to limit Wang Chao through defense is something that the Warriors have been studying and pondering for so many years.

But this matter is clearly unsolvable.

In this game, it was Green who was responsible for defending Wang Chao, but Green did not have many opportunities to match Wang Chao, because the Clippers players would always use the pick-and-roll to force Curry to match Wang Chao.

Military training Curry, this is Rocket Harden's favorite style of play, which can not only improve the success rate of offense, but also consume Curry's physical energy, killing two birds with one stone, very useful, Wang Chao naturally has no reason not to use it.

It's just that Curry is out of luck.

Wang Chao's confrontation ability is stronger than Harden's, but it is more than a star and a half.

With a little force, Curry staggered, and after a few rounds, Curry was already a little unable to support it, and had to be replaced by Warriors head coach Kerr to avoid the edge for a while.

Of course, although the Warriors were suppressed by the Clippers, they were not completely without resistance, after all, the two teams have similar styles, both rely heavily on three-point shooting, and in the case of excellent hand, the offensive lethality can be called a nuclear strike.

Thompson was clearly in very good shape in this game, and under Brogdon's defense, he hit four three-pointers in the first quarter alone, scoring 14 points in a single quarter.

In the second quarter of the game, Thompson continued to maintain his hot hand, scoring another 12 points and scoring 26 points in the half.

The Warriors relied on Thompson's scoring to barely support the Clippers from getting rid of the point difference.

I have to admit that at some point, the explosive Thompson's scoring explosiveness is even more terrifying than Curry's, after all, Thompson is the record holder of 37 points in a single quarter, and when the Buddha is in a state of full light, the firepower is terrifying.

In the third quarter of the game, Thompson scored another 10 points, and his personal score has reached 36 points.

However, Thompson, who has an excellent individual scoring performance, still can't hide the Warriors' rout.

The reason is very simple, after the third quarter of the game, Wang Chao has scored 37 points, which is higher than Thompson's score.

Curry has long been unable to hold Wang Chao's roll call, and when he is forced, Green can only continue to chase Wang Chao by carrying out the operation of blocking and dismantling when he is blocked and dismantled, but the result is that Wang Chao has a more suitable time difference to take advantage of whether he shoots outside the three-point line after blocking and dismantling, or directly holding the ball to impact the basket.

Far from being affected, the offense has become more efficient.

In this situation, the Warriors had no choice but to wait for a slow death.

When the full-time whistle blew, the score was fixed at 119:107.

Thompson finally scored 39 points, and in terms of scoring, he can slightly compare with Wang Chao, who scored 44 points in the game.

But the problem is that Wang Chao not only scored highly, but also had 12 rebounds and 10 assists, which was another big triple-double.

On the Warriors' side, Ingram scored 16 points, Green scored 12 points, and as for Curry, when he was named by Wang Chao throughout the whole process, he suffered serious physical consumption and lost his state, with only 14 points and 6 assists in the account, and the shooting rate was less than 40%.
