Chapter 1581: Opening of the Western Conference Finals

The Lakers finally swept the Rockets and directly let the Rockets score less than 60 points, only 58 points.

58, this is a magic word, probably Paul thought so too.

The Lakers scored 108 points in the game, and 50 points bloodbathed their opponents, which also created the record for the largest score difference this season.Overwhelmed the Warriors' 48 points a few days ago.Tang Qian scored 25 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocked shots in the whole game. This statistic is also the worst game since the Rockets series.But if you look at the playing time, you will know that it is excusable.He played less than 21 minutes in total, and being able to get this data is simply an explosion of efficiency.People can't get it after a game, okay!This data is actually the peak Howard's average data that year.

However, the best player in the game belongs to Gasol. Gasol played extremely well in this game. In the second half, he actually blasted a stat of 18+10+6+2.Although not as good as Tang Qian in scoring and rebounding, he still has 6 assists.It's not surprising that it was given to Gasol.

In addition to Gasol, Nick Young also scored 11 points, Butler 13 points, Pierce 6 points, Deron Williams 6 points + 6 assists, which was also a pleasant surprise.Especially in the second half, he seized the opportunity to connect the team with Gasol one inside and one outside, and he did it very successfully. This is also a key to the Lakers' loss of the main force in the second half, but they still played against the Rockets. factor.

This guy, Deron, seems to have a chance to recover, well, he found his former self-confidence in Paul again.

It was too late for Paul to cry.

对面呢，凄惨无比, 全场比赛三分球铁成了钛合金, 除了保罗和哈登得分上了两位数……事实上就算是哈登和保罗也只有10+得分。可见这场球是个什么鬼样子。全场比赛45个三分球只丢进了5个。命中率是可怕的11%。光是三分球投丢了40个！
This is really rare in history!It is also the game with the most missed three-pointers in a single game in the playoffs since statistics are available in history.

After this game, the entire Internet mountain once again set off a speech.

The pitching team, the three-point team, can't win the championship!
Barkley is a strong supporter of this statement.

After all, in this time and space, the Warriors have not won a championship yet, and Barkley is not afraid of being slapped in the face.

At this time, No. 23 of the Cavaliers also took a deep breath at home, then bowed his head to the Golden State Warriors on TV and murmured: "Yu Yuyong, you all have to work hard. Don't let me down. "

The official website of the Warriors also released the title soon, welcome to the top of the West, LA!

Tang Qian's four performances in this round of the series are as follows:

G1 - 40 points, 23 rebounds and 7 blocks.

G2 - 75 points, 29 rebounds and 11 blocks.

G3 - 59 points, 30 rebounds and 8 blocked shots.

G4 - 25 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks.

The series averaged 49.8 points per game! 23.8 rebounds! 7.5 blocked shots! ! !
This performance has improved a huge level compared with the previous round, and the average of 49.8 points per game is also the highest score in a round of series since 84!Even almost broke the series averaging 50 points per game! ! !Everyone said on the Internet that if the Rockets were a little stronger in this game, Tang Qian's scoring would definitely break the 50 points per game average! ! !Pity.

After sweeping this round of the series, the thrilling process of the Lakers and Rockets was completely ignored, as if they were really sweeping and invincible.Tang Qian was also blown to the top because of this kind of data performance!Whether it's TNT, Sports Illustrated, Los Angeles Ontology Media, FOX Sports, or ESPN, they can only sing praises, and there is no room for discredit.

Terrible, the series averaged 49.8 points! 23.8 rebounds! 7.5 blocked shots, and led the team to complete a sweep, what else do you want to say about this performance? ? ?What else can you say besides being strong, awesome, and amazing?
The Celtics and the Wizards played to the end, and the two teams entered the tiebreaker. The core boss of the G6 Wizards, John Wall, made a lore three-pointer in the last 4 seconds.Helped the team directly from 89 behind by 2 points, instantly killed the Celtics, and reversed the result of the game.This round of the series was dragged into the tiebreaker.

In fact, his shooting percentage in the whole game was really not good, only 36%, but the last three-pointer redeemed everything.

In a sense, the NBA is a league that depends on results, so Wall's lore is tantamount to turning a bear into a hero.

On May 5, U.S. time, the two sides played a tiebreaker at the home court of the Celtics. This was also the semifinals of the division, the only game that reached the seventh game.In this game, even if Bradley Beal of the Wizards scored 15 points, there was no way to save the team, because the team boss Wall continued to be a blacksmith, making 38 of 23 shots and shooting 8%. The ball is 34.8 of 8 shots, and the shooting rate is a poor 1%.12.5 points in the game, so the Wizards lost the tiebreaker.It's a pity to stop in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

In this way, all the places for the East and West Regional Finals of the two sides have been released.

The four teams are the Eastern Conference Finals, Cleveland Cavaliers VS Boston Celtics, Western Conference Finals, Los Angeles Lakers VS Golden State Warriors.And if you look at the polls before the start of the conference finals, you will find that... more than 8% of the people think that they should watch the Western Conference finals. Turning around, only 2% of people are willing to watch the Eastern Conference finals.However, this is only a small survey of 5000 people, and it does not represent all, but it is still somewhat representative.That is, American fans are far more interested in the Western Conference Finals than the Eastern Conference Finals.

This is also normal. In the Eastern Conference finals, everyone knew the answer before the game started. The Cavaliers must have won.The green army has been able to kill so far, which is already a bit overfulfilled.But if you want to beat the Cavaliers, you still think too much.The Cavaliers have swept and advanced in the previous two rounds of the series.It took only eight games.Coupled with the fact that they are extremely good at playing giant planets, the Green Army's chances of winning are too small.

So everyone's expectations for the Eastern Conference Finals are naturally not high.

There is nothing interesting about massacres. Except for Cleveland's own fans, everyone else probably thinks the senses are mediocre.

In addition, the Green Army does not have any particularly big-name superstars. Thomas Jr. has performed well this season, but his time to become famous is still too short, so the number of accumulated fans is not particularly large.Even some fans don't even know who the current team boss of the Green Army is.

The west is much more interesting. There was a war of words between the two sides at the beginning, because they are both in California and the distance is very close, basically there is not much energy consumption.Therefore, from the official website to the fans, the two sides are directly confronting each other, ridiculing and ridiculing.

The United States is not a domestic country. There are not so many politeness. It is common for opposing teams to fight each other.This is still basketball. If you try the Super Bowl of football, the fans are extremely crazy.

The Warriors are simply saying, we're going to win, we've been preparing for a whole year, just for now.

So now anyone in front of us is a dead end!
We are Universe Yong, we are the strongest team this season, bar none!

The Lakers are not polite here, and directly retorted:
How we killed you last year will be the same this year, we are the defending champions!

If we want to pass through the west, we are the gatekeepers.

It's a pity that our Lakers team has only won the championship since the George Mike era. In terms of background, you guys are really bad!
The Lakers fans called the Warriors the upstarts, and the Warriors fans called the Lakers the dead nobles. Anyway, it was chaos.

There is a very interesting thing, that is, in a family in California, a family of four, father and sister are Lakers fans, mother and younger brother are Warriors fans... Then during the Western Conference finals, the four decided not to be with each other for the time being. "say.This incident was once the epitome of many families in California. They are all in California. Do you support the Los Angeles Lakers or the Golden State Warriors?This question is a difficult one to explain clearly.California is so big, except for the two cities of Los Angeles and Oakland that have no other options, in the rest of the cities, it is possible to like any team.

On May 5, US time, the Eastern Conference finals started first. The Cavaliers defeated the Boston Celtics, who had home court advantage, 17-117.Among them, the Big Three scored 104 points!It directly accounted for more than 90% of the scoring ratio.Among them, LeBron James is still the best performer. 76 points, 38 rebounds, 9 assists and 7 steals, coupled with a shooting rate close to 2%, directly blown the opponent.As soon as James this guy arrived in the playoffs, he really started to transform. The more he played, the better his statistics. This kind of near-perfect statistics is not uncommon in his playoff career.There have been several times this year.In addition, Love also scored 60 points, Owen scored 32 points, a total of 20 points, and defeated the opponent.

The Celtics now know that the bigger the stage, the more superstars they have, and the more they need superstars, so they lost very simply.

This is not something that Brad Stevens can change with a few tactics. This is superstar crushing. Even if the Cavaliers have a bad defense this year and are in the lower reaches of the league, they still make it impossible for the Celtics to catch up and win. A good start at home.The strategy of the Cavaliers tonight also made the Celtics a little unexpected. They actually didn't focus on three-pointers so much. You must know that the Cavaliers are the top three-pointers in the league this season.With one star and four shots, 3-pointers are also a big offensive item.But tonight, under the command of James, the Cavaliers directly began to frantically attack the inside, kill the basket, and the Cavaliers made 40 free throws. On the other side, the Celtics only made 18 free throws.With so much less, close to 20 points and nothing.

How is this played?
In the playoffs, Thomas Jr. was obviously restrained by his opponents. He could have scored 28.9 points in the regular season!It can be regarded as a quasi-super scorer, but his data in the playoffs can be said to have declined in an all-round way.The shooting percentage has dropped, and the scoring average has also dropped significantly, which has dropped drastically.Only 23+ points are left.Lost nearly 6 points!
What is the concept of averaging 6 points per game?It's just a grade drop, which is why the Celtics played so hard in the playoffs.

After all, the regular season is the regular season and the playoffs are the playoffs.

Essentially different.

However, the ratings of this game were not good, because the result was not surprising. James, the Cavaliers, the Big Three, and the Eastern Conference Finals have always been a key word in recent years.It doesn't matter who the opponent is.Even Xiaobai fans don't think the Cavaliers will be afraid of anyone in the East.As a fan of the Cavaliers, I am afraid that I pay more attention to the progress of the opposite Western District.

Because the finals are the real test for the Cavaliers.

East game?We have Zhan Badong inside, so there is nothing to be afraid of, be steady.

The Western Conference playoffs will be held in Los Angeles, Angel City. So what if the Warriors win 73 games this season?Don't you want to be below the Lakers' 74 wins?This is really the most aggrieved 73 wins in history.Unable to get home court advantage.

But Warriors coach Cole expressed optimism because he believes that the Warriors' lineup and combat effectiveness are stronger than the Lakers, so this is not a home court advantage that can be offset.

The outside world predicts that the Warriors will advance 4-1 or 4-2.

Look at the lineup of the Warriors, it is quite luxurious, point guard Stephen Curry, shooting guard Klay Thompson, small forward Kevin Durant, power forward Zaza Pachulia, center Drummond De Green.Get rid of one Pachulia, and the other four are all star players in their prime!This is really...somewhat dreamlike.I thought they were playing some kind of All-Star team.

A four-star warrior is truly glorious.

The lineup for the Lakers is Tang Qian + Randall + Ariza + Butler + Rondo.It is still the classic starting five this season, and there are not many changes.In the first game, the opponent's lineup did not change much. It seems that they have the same idea as the Lakers. At the beginning, they should try it first before doing follow-up operations.

The referee threw the ball, and the two jumped up directly. Tang Qian helped the Lakers get the first chance to attack first.

Zijin Army VS Universe Yong, the series begins.
