Chapter 1103 Western Conference Semifinals, Intra-city Derby

Before the start of the semifinals of each division, the NBA officially released the list of the second team of the best team for the 14-15 season.Six players were selected: Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers, Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Pau Gasol of the Chicago Bulls, and Marc Gasol of the Memphis Grizzlies Hall, LaMarcus Aldridge of the Portland Trail Blazers, and DeMarcus Cousins ​​of the Sacramento Kings.Here Cousins ​​was selected as a forward.Not a center forward.

The Gasol brothers have the same number of votes, so they were selected to the second team of the best team at the same time. This is also a good story in the NBA, but only Tang Qian knows, this is probably the reason for his "little butterfly".Because Marc Gasol should have been in the first team in the 14-15 season, but it seems that he was robbed of the first team.It's a pity that Bosh has missed too much due to injuries, so this time the best team selection really doesn't necessarily include him.The frontcourt competition for a while is equally fierce.At least James has firmly occupied a spot, unless he has the same vote and is included in the election, it is hard to say.

Bosh looked a little depressed, but he still has professionalism, and he will finish the first series with the Clippers first.

In this round of the series, the outside world predicts that the Lakers should have a higher winning percentage than the Clippers. After all, whether it is the regular season winning percentage or the first round winning percentage, the Lakers are all victorious.The outside world is more optimistic about the Lakers, there is nothing wrong with it.There is also a consensus in the country that unless the Clippers explode collectively, otherwise, the Lakers may advance to the Western Conference Finals.

The Clippers were not so cowardly, and also replied to the tweets of "Magic" Johnson and Kobe Bryant:

This round of the series will definitely not be that simple, we will fight you to the end.

Staples Center, on May 5th, the Lakers and Clippers were here at the same time.

In the final analysis, this round of the series is also star-studded, at least far more star-studded than the Eastern Conference. Look at how many All-Stars and best teams and best defensive teams there are in the Clippers alone?The fighting in the west is really not covered.

Many people attended the game, including the Ross sisters, Karlie Kloss, and Taylor Swift.

Tang Qian will turn off his mobile phone during the playoffs and will not contact anyone. If necessary, he will contact his agent Zhou Zhiru and ask her to send a few tweets for him.In this way, these American girls really have very little contact with him. It is a bit exaggerated to say that they are "hoping forward", but at least they are "looking forward to it".But they were all hidden in the crowd, with so many people and countless celebrities, so Tang Qian really couldn't see them all at once.Well, he won't make any next move after seeing it, because he has entered the playoff mode now, and before winning the championship or going home to fish, he will not let anything outside affect his state of mind.

For basketball, he is destined to be persistent in his life.

He has worked hard for the past few years, not to live in the city, but to realize his basketball dream.

Before the game, the strongest cores of the two sides began to greet each other or talk trash. Of course, the Clippers was Chris Paul, and the Lakers had no doubt that No. 29 Tang Qian stood up.The two touched their palms symbolically, and the latter spoke first, "Hot, we meet again, this time it's the playoffs, by the way, have you bought the fishing equipment yet?" Paul is also an absolutely tough old school Player, although he is small, his temper is not small at all, and his speech is not vague.Tang Qian enjoyed this kind of pre-match confrontation very much. He smiled and said, "Yes, we meet again. We bought the fishing equipment, but this is for you. We don't need it yet, right? Is it?"

"Then I want to see who used it for whom." Paul said.

"It must be your Los Angeles Clippers." Tang Qian didn't evade, and said directly.

The two men had friction from the very beginning, and they had a fighting spirit. Tang Qian even thought that it would be great if he could get Paul over. It’s not that he doesn’t like Jeremy Lin, but to be honest, the gap between Jeremy Lin and Paul is still the same as the naked eye. visible.Two people are not on the same level and level.This is not to look down on his teammates, but Tang Qian has a natural sense of intimacy when facing such old-school players.You can say that he won't give Paul any face on the field, but that doesn't mean he doesn't like this kind of strong player.

However, this premise is that Paul is willing to come over and play second-in-command for himself.

Otherwise, there is no need to talk.

He absolutely does not accept the idea of ​​multi-core. For a person who aspires to win the championship or even a consecutive championship or more, multi-core is the source of instability.And now Paul has no plans to play "Second Master". The latter is also a senior NBA superstar. The No. 1 man is the king of high-level statistics, not bragging, so even if he wants to transfer, he has to Find a place to play "dual core".

At least, nominally so.

Otherwise, he would have a hard time getting over this hurdle in his heart.

The game was still in the morning in China, so many people got up, sat in front of the computer or the TV, and couldn't wait for the live broadcast to start.Among them, the support rate of the Lakers has completely surpassed the Clippers. On the other side of the ocean, the Lakers are now the home team, and they must work together to support them.Clippers?Three star players?Um?So what?
Should the country support the Lakers or support the Lakers.

Tianchao Sports Station.

"Both warm-ups are over. Let's take a look at the starting lineup. The Clippers' starting lineup is Chris Paul + Blake Griffin + DeAndre Jordan + Matt Barnes + JJ Ray Dick. The Clippers lineup is really good this year. They have three All-Star players in the team. This configuration is definitely considered a very good book strength this season. Director Zhang, what do you think?" After Meteor Shower finished talking about the basic situation of the Clippers, he asked Zhang Weiping on the side to provide advice. Zhang Weiping was also unambiguous, and opened his mouth. It looks pretty good, but I think it's still very flawed."

"Oh, that instruction means..."

"What I mean is, the Lakers have Tang Qian, No. 29, and one insider can beat the other two." Zhang Weiping But in any Lakers game, there will be obvious personal emotional bias. As a regular partner, Meteor Shower has long That is to say, it's not surprising.Besides, he also agrees with the former meaning. Since Tang Qian can handle Howard, at least he can handle one of the Clippers' All-Star insiders.

At the start of the game, Tang Qian and Jordan scrambled for the ball and won. The Lakers made a fast push and scored, 2-0.

Jordan and Tang Qian compete for the ball. Under normal conditions, there is basically no hope.

JJ Redick broke through, but was interfered by Tang Qian and missed a layup. The Lakers rebounded and continued to attack.Jeremy Lin saw the opportunity, and with a high toss, he and Chris Bosh completed an alley-oop dunk. With a bang, the Lakers scored their second goal of the game.The Clippers gave Griffin, and Griffin sat on Bosh, turned around and broke through. Bosh’s strength and tonnage are not as good as Griffin’s, but his wingspan is much stronger than Griffin’s, so it’s barely disturbing. .

The ball was missed, Tang Qian received the low rebound, Jeremy Lin held the ball and attacked again.

Jeremy Lin pushed his right hand to Ariza. Ariza wanted to shoot, but couldn't get a shot. He gave it to Chris Bosh on the other wing.Bosh singled out Griffin and missed. Griffin's body thickness is still very strong. Bosh's chances are not very good when he hits so hard.Jordan was about to take the rebound, but a person behind his head took the lead.

he is the one……

"Tang got the offensive rebound, how will he deal with it? Oh? He came by himself, hit the rebound at the basket, and the Lakers expanded the point difference again. Since Tang killed Howard in the last round, he has become a brave player in the paint. It's an unstoppable mode. This is really powerful, I don't know how long this state can last?" Bill McDonald, the live commentator of the Lakers, said.

At this time the score was 6-0, and the Clippers made another pass and catch error. Jeremy Lin made a successful transition from offense to defense, 8-0.The Lakers filled the Clippers at the beginning, which made the on-site commentators bolder in their language, as if the Clippers were not the Lakers' opponents at all.If it weren't for Paul to step up and score one at this time, the Clippers' scoring drought may continue.But in the first quarter, the Lakers suppressed the Clippers as a whole without any problems, 35-24, leading by 11 points and entering the second quarter.

The Lakers scored very evenly in this quarter, no one scored too much, but no one scored too little.Such a multi-point flowering mode makes it a bit difficult for the Clippers to parry.On the offensive end, the Clippers actually have only one insider, and that is Blake Griffin.Little Jordan, Tang Qian looked down on him, his offensive ability needs to be strengthened, scoring 1+ points per game this season, it is almost impossible to break Tang Qian's defensive domination of the basket one-on-one.

But as soon as Tang Qian came off the court, he was chased by the Clippers for a wave of points. This situation continued until the second quarter. Because the Lakers changed from Tang Qian to Thackeray on the inside, the Clippers started to kill and succeed in a row.The Clippers' shooting percentage in the first quarter was not good, but how to play most effectively when the hand feels bad?Of course, the closer to the basket the better.That truth has never changed. On the basketball court, the closer to the basket, the less dependent on the touch and the higher the success rate.

This made Tang Qian anxious, but there was no other way. His physical strength could only be allocated in this way, and he was forced to stay on the court. The final decisive quarter was the fourth quarter. He would greatly reduce the efficiency of the court.Without Tang Qian, the inside offense of the Clippers was opened up at once. Griffin and Austin Rivers attacked continuously, making the Los Angeles Clippers help the team chase after only 5 minutes in the second quarter. Tied the game.Tang Qian couldn't sit still anymore, and began to invite Ying to play.

But D'Antoni's opinion is still for him to endure for the time being. As the head coach, his consideration is more overall.

In the end, when Tang Qian played again, the score difference was widened to 5 points. Of course, the Clippers took the lead instead.The Lakers' offense was a bit unstable in this period, and the timing was not working. The point guard Farmar who came off the bench made 2 consecutive mistakes, which also allowed the score difference to be overtaken by the opponent and made a lot of "contributions".In terms of controlling mistakes, there is almost no No. 1 position in the league that can be compared with the Clippers' No. [-] position?Don't talk about Famal, would it be useful to replace Jeremy Lin as the main force?
You can't deny Paul at this point. His No. 1 play style is indeed strong.

Tang Qian re-entered the court, and he had an effect as soon as he came up. The main reason was that the defensive end was instantly strong, and the rebounds were no longer easily taken by the opponent.This allowed the Lakers to stabilize the number of offenses a lot.And obviously, when he came up, the Clippers' inside impact was significantly reduced, especially the team's No. 4 position. The All-Star player Griffin changed the most, and he directly left the penalty area on the offensive end. , chose more mid-range projections to solve the problem.Don't tell me, don't underestimate the "White Monster" of the Clippers. It was hard to say before. This season, his mid-range has opened up. In the regular season, his mid-range has reached 3%, and the long-range is 8 points. It can reach the early 2s. In the last round of the playoffs, he shot 4 points 2% in the mid-range and 4 points 2% in the long range. He is currently 4 of 2 shots in this quarter, which also helped the Clippers. Overtake.

But Tang Qian is not afraid of Griffin's mid-range at all. He doesn't believe that this guy's mid-range can be similar to those masters of mid-range shooting. He forcibly relies on shooting to kill the Lakers.When the latter's shooting rate drops, it will be the opportunity for the Lakers and themselves.

Sure enough, the good times didn't last long. Griffin's shooting percentage dropped, and he missed consecutive strikes. Tang Qian took the opportunity to attack and scored two goals in a row. Without Jordan to guard the inside, he actually also greatly reduced the offensive pressure .Although Jordan can't get the first defense in this time and space, he still has the strength of the first defense this season, but he is occupied by the "little butterfly" Tang Qian.In this way, the Lakers quickly filled the gap, and the Clippers called a timeout.

But it was useless, because at this time the Lakers also opened the outside basket. At the end of the half, they regained the lead with a 59-49, 10-point difference. Back in the locker room, the Clippers' Chris Paul was furious and said, "Come on, please? Don't you want to stop here?"

But this voice did not play the expected role. As soon as the third quarter came up, the Lakers were still scoring.Already leading the Clippers by a full 13 points.Chris Paul was a little angry. As the leader of this team, he decided to stand up.Use your own personal ability to activate the overall look of the team.

And the first thing he has to do is to find a matchup to make a fuss and disrupt the Lakers from the team's system.

Who is the core operator of D'Antoni's system?It's not Tang Qian, but Jeremy Lin, so Paul's decision is still very correct.That's what it means to hit a snake and hit seven inches.Besides, it wasn't that he looked down on Jeremy Lin, or that he felt that his ability was unmatched in the No. 1 position in this league.

This kind of self-confidence is something that Chris Paul was born with.

A superstar who combines offense and defense, he is an absolute veteran.

and so……
