Chapter 1337 Durant's mind, Zhou Demon King's ambition
2-0!The Lakers take the lead! —Los Angeles Times.

It's hard to beat!We must defend the home field! --San Antonio Express-News.

Continue, one more game, we will enter the Western Conference Finals ahead of schedule! — Lakers Nation.

Is there a mistake in Popovich's strategy?Let role players play too much?Inside news, everyone is very unhappy! ——ESPN
Regarding this game, ESPN senior expert Henry Abbott gave a simple analysis and evaluation:

It was Popovich's own arrogance that trapped the Spurs in this game!
I don't understand why these star players are used as bait and let the role players play.A small proportion is fine, but the proportion is too large, I think it is inappropriate.Is Popovich learning how the Heat played against him back then?If you ask me, this is a complete failure of imitation.The Spurs should wake up quickly, or the Lakers will enter the Western Conference Finals with half a foot.

The outside world also expressed doubts and dissatisfaction with Popovich's approach.

So much so that Popovich himself felt a little unstable in the team, and some people's hearts were fluctuating.

Sure enough, it's not okay to continue playing like this. If you win, it's okay to say that you lose consecutively...

However, can the Lakers be defeated by playing with stars?What do you "keyboard warriors" know!The Lakers' defense basically has no weaknesses. If you go to singles, what advantage can you take?Can we do better defensively than them?Forgot what our team's tradition is?Forget how I got the Spurs to the Finals a few years ago.

They are all forgetful "keyboard warriors"!damn it!
Popovich couldn't help taking a sip of his drink. He was upset not only by outside remarks, but also internally. There were also signs of problems within the team itself.And to be honest, he hasn't figured out how to actually deal with the Lakers.

All of these add up to annoy him.

The playoffs continued. The Heat beat the Raptors 102-96. In this game, the Heat smashed the opponent with rebounds and added more free throws to win the away game.The World War II between the Trail Blazers and the Warriors is also in progress. The Warriors defeated their opponents again, 110-99. After Curry came back, he opened up in a wave, and directly shot the tearing city with 38 points.

This round of the series, everyone said, basically lost the suspense.

From any point of view, the Trail Blazers are not the opponents of the Golden State Warriors.It's better to let the Clippers advance, so at least the Clippers still have an absolute advantage inside.In such a matchup, it is not bad for the Trail Blazers to win a game.

Let alone the Cavaliers and Eagles, the Cavaliers 123-98 bloodbathed the latter at home, the Big Three scored 60+ points again, and there was no suspense at halftime.At the beginning of the third quarter, the Cavaliers established a 76-38 lead, with a point difference of nearly 40 points.You said, this is still a ball game.Just admit defeat.When the Eagles were at their strongest, they were beaten up by the Cavaliers. What's more, it was already sunset this season, and they were just living on their laurels.After the game, the head coach of the Eagles himself was a bit bitter:
We hope there will be miracles when we return home.

Such words are equivalent to saying that if there is no miracle, returning to the home court is also a dead end.

No show.

On the other side, whether it is the Heat or the Raptors who advance, they basically pose no major threat to the Cavaliers.This year's Eastern Conference is still the Cavaliers' Big Three model, which is thriving.The probability of entering the finals, ESPN gave the number, as high as 82.1%.This is simply saying that the three remaining teams in the Eastern Conference are all "five scumbags".

Hey, the problem is, you teams still have to be convinced, the gap in strength is obvious.

The Cavaliers and James are most afraid of tough lineups and teams, but if you look at these three teams, is there one?
Without the defensive intensity of the Pistons, Greens and Bulls Pacers back then, the Cavaliers can't even talk about too much consumption. Competing for star ability, unless you really have more and stronger stars, otherwise, it will be extremely difficult to win in the East.Don't forget, the Cavaliers are extremely poor defensively, but they can still reach the finals.Do you really think there are not many brushes?

5月5日，热火和猛龙进行了第二场比试，这次猛龙队在主场找回了场子，依靠大量的杀伤罚球得到了4分的胜利。这场比赛他们罚了26个球，热火队只罚了13个，不过……猛龙队这26次罚球只罚进了14次！命中率53.8%！所以前面只是在开玩笑！真正赢球的地方是他们抢断！一场球高达15次的抢断！超过了对手接近3倍！
Obtained nearly 10 more possessions.

That's why I won.

But seeing this series now, it's just four words, "Veterans peck at each other".The fight was fierce, but that was because their strength was not high.There is a lack of superstars who can really decide the world.The Heat's Wade was originally considered, but he is aging and the brake pads are not enough, so he can't help the team play a superstar to end.

And the most important thing is, the Cavaliers don't care who wins this round of the series.

Because, anyway, you can't beat them.

In the East, that's how the Cavaliers have played this season.

From the first round, the trip to the finals was actually a smooth one.

As long as they don't kill themselves, they are the only favorites in the East.

Of course, the main event is still in the West. On May 5, there are 6 games today, one is the Cavaliers vs. Eagles, and the other is the game between the Lakers and the Spurs.The game has been moved to San Antonio for Game 2 of the series.Look at the slogans such as "Defend Home" and "Defeat LA" on the Spurs' home court, and you will know how important this game is to the Spurs.Like the Thunder's third game before, if the series is played 3-0, then the chance of a comeback is basically zero.How difficult it is, Tang Qian is the one who has the most feelings and the right to speak.

So the third game after 2-0 is a life-and-death battle for the trailing side. If you lose, you will actually let your last breath out.

According to statistics, after losing the third game, the elimination rate is 99.9%.The fourth game continued to lose, with a probability of more than 6%.

That's why the third game is so important.

At the same time, at the San Francisco Science and Technology Summit in the United States, Rudy Thomas met with Durant. Durant was also very depressed after losing a game recently.The two were not very familiar with each other at first, but because Rudy Thomas is Iguodala's business partner, the two have some connection.

Chatting and chatting, it became Du Shao complaining bitterly, and then said that he can't just sit and eat, and he can't play basketball for a lifetime.

He needs to have more income or investment outside his career.

To put it simply, Durant has no sense of security, otherwise, he would not have said and done so. It was not until Rudy Thomas found some "interesting information" in the chat that he was interested in continuing to talk to Durant. Te chatted on: "So, you don't want to stay in Goose City anymore, do you?"

"I don't know, maybe. My agent also told me that the investment value of Goose City is too small."

"But didn't you just say that you have a great possibility to stay in the Thunder?" Thomas' words are not groundless. Durant did declare after being eliminated that 90% of him would stay with the team.This news can be found everywhere.In the United States, there are still many people who have the impression.However, Durant's answer also surprised him: "There is no way, my agent told me that I have to say that now, well, in fact, I have considered this issue last year, it is me When you get hurt. I feel like I have to think about more than just basketball. You know, Rudy?"

"I understand." Rudy Thomas smiled and said, "Then can you tell me about your favorite choice? If it's convenient?"

Durant hesitated, but his "migrant worker Du" temperament still made him say something: "I don't know, go to a developed city or a strong non-championship team." Although he didn't say it clearly, Thomas still nodded. head.Going to a developed city is to increase your investment success rate, and going to a strong non-championship team is to take a shortcut and want to win the championship as soon as possible, so as to maximize your commercial value.

After all, it's all about money.For big stars, sometimes the commercial value is more profitable than the contract value.

Of course, Thomas, who has been a business elite, also felt Durant's impatience with continuous failure, and Durant began to doubt whether he could win the championship in the future.Please, how old are you, don't let it go.Didn't you sign a huge contract with Nike at the end of last year?It's about money, but there are other considerations, right?

He didn't expose it, he just wrote it down silently.Then the two exchanged other topics and left separately.

……

At the same time, the domestic "Zhou Demon King" was also confirmed to participate in the 2016 NBA draft amidst the adulation and cheers.At this time, everyone is starting to speculate about his pick, which is outrageous, even reaching the lottery. "Zhou Mowang" himself expressed optimism, and he expressed his hope to show himself in the NBA.When asked about the Lakers and Tang Qian, "Zhou Mowang" said that he was looking forward to playing against Tang Qian at the NBA level.He will give it his all.

Tang Qian didn't know what he was talking about. Many Tang secretaries in China were blown up, but now everyone's enthusiasm for "Zhou Demon King" is in full swing, so it's hard to say anything directly.Otherwise, they will be labeled with various labels and carry out humanitarian strikes.

Of course, it is also understandable that everyone hopes that there will be a steady stream of NBA players in China. This is a feeling of "hoping for a child to become a dragon".However, I am afraid that the expectations are too high, which will lead to a greater gap in the end.After all, "Zhou Demon King" has been blown to the sky in various domestic media and online platforms, as if he is the next Yao Ming, and his potential is no worse than Tang Qian's.

It's nothing, the country also has this "urinary nature", likes to praise and kill, isn't Yi Jianlian also like this back then?However, I am afraid that some people will take it seriously.That would be troublesome.At that time, the gap between reality and imagination will be too big, and I am really afraid that his "small body" and "small frame" will not be able to bear it.

But in the end what will be the result of "Zhou Mowang", we will see it in Brooklyn, New York next month.

A mule or a horse, who knows?
