NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 375 Zhanku Controversy and the Best Team

Howard started all the next four games, and his defensive effect on Jokic was indeed as miraculous as Wang Feng said. Although it was not the key to determining the outcome, it did make the Lakers win the game. more relaxed.

When the Lakers eliminated the Nuggets in five games, the semifinals of the other three divisions in the East and West were still in full swing.

The two matchups in the East are the Milwaukee Bucks VS Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets VS Toronto Raptors.

The Celtics eliminated the 76ers in the first round. Embiid and Simmons have a limited combination upper limit, and they are not even the opponent of the Celtics after Tatum's strength has improved.

However, the Celtics, who eliminated the 76ers and entered the conference semifinals, were a bit stretched when they met the stronger Bucks. They are currently 2:3 behind, and the Bucks have already won the match point one step ahead.

On the other side, the game between the Nets and the Raptors is also in full swing.

Without Leonard, the Raptors are still a powerful team in the East, while the Nets lack Irving because of the Big Three configuration. Although the combination of Durant + George is also very strong, but after all, something is missing , Moreover, in order to partner with the Big Three, the Nets almost emptied their homes. Except for Dinwiddie, there are basically no outstanding role players around the Big Three, so the playoffs are also quite difficult.

However, the strength of the two top star partners should not be underestimated, and the Nets have a high probability of eliminating the Raptors and entering the Eastern Conference Finals.

Compared with these two teams, the other Western Conference semifinals can really be described as a shopping spree.

The two sides in the conference semifinals are the Los Angeles Clippers and the Golden State Warriors.

The combination of James + Leonard easily defeated the combination of Harden + Westbrook of the Rockets.

On the other hand, Paul, who led the Thunder all the way through the thorns and thorns, encountered the bitter master Curry, and he had no choice but to drink his hatred.

The old warrior Sanying once again encountered James Lu Bu on the stage of the playoffs after a year, but there was Dian Wei standing beside Lu Bu. How could it make sense for the 1v3 game to become 2v3?

The most terrible thing is that, as we all know, the so-called Sanying battle against Lu Bu was actually Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who brought Liu Bei, the oily bottle, to earn a reputation. If there was no Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's partner might be able to suppress it faster Lu Bu.

This version of the NBA is no exception. Green is definitely more pitted than Liu Bei. Anyway, Liu Bei was able to make a few gestures when he was young, and he is also a good leader in battle.

Green is different. This guy really cheats his teammates, at least on the offensive end.

In the series of games against the Clippers, Green's defense against James and Leonard was mediocre, and the offensive end was always lagging behind. Cole was speechless several times and wanted to press Green to death on the bench. In order to ensure the mobility of the small ball tactics, Green had to protect the rebounds on the court.

Thanks to the fact that Curry and Thompson are really able to play this series, they have fought bloody battles with the Clippers so far.

On May 5th, the Western Conference Finals G9, the Warriors, 6:2 behind, fought desperately at home. Curry scored 3 points on 23 of 11 shots, Thompson scored 32 points on 24 of 12 shots, and even Green finally made a comeback Once, although the score was still extremely stretching only 30 points, he grabbed 7 rebounds, including 14 offensive rebounds, and 6 assists.

The Warriors also used this to defeat the Clippers and evened the score to 3:3. The two sides played a tiebreaker one day later.

The intensity and quality of the battle between these two teams is extremely high, and it can be called the most intense divisional semifinals in recent years.

All members of the Lakers team, which eliminated the Nuggets early, happily sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, wishing that the two teams would lose both sides in the Western Conference Finals.

Then, in the final tiebreaker, the Clippers led by James and Leonard were superior, narrowly beating the Warriors and advancing to the Western Conference Finals.

In the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers VS Clippers, this is the first time since the establishment of the Clippers that the two Los Angeles teams have met in the Western Conference Finals.

The Clippers have experienced a big battle, and the soldiers will be exhausted, while the other side is the Lakers who have rested for many days and are waiting for work.

But the Clippers are a top dual-core partnership after all. Although the Lakers are currently equipped with the Big Three, Butler's coffee position is inferior to Leonard's after all. Ingram, who has never been selected as an All-Star It is even more incomparable, so it is still difficult to say who will win the Western Conference Finals.

……

Before the start of the Eastern and Western finals, the league officially announced the best team of the season in advance as usual.

In fact, there is not much suspense.

场均35.2分12.7篮板10.4助攻的王峰同时入选最佳一阵一防，与他同时入选最佳一阵的还有勇士队的库里，数据为场均31.2分5篮板7助攻，雄鹿队的字母哥阿德托昆博，场均数据29.7分14篮板5.6助攻，快船的詹姆斯，场均数据26分8篮板9.8助攻以及独行侠的东契奇，场均数据28.7分9.3篮板8.7助攻。

Those selected for the second team were Damian Lillard with 28.9 points and 7.8 assists per game, Harden with 34 points and 7.3 assists, Durant with 29.4 points, Leonard with 27 points, and 24.4 points and 9.7 rebounds. Jokic assisted.

It is worth mentioning that although Harden's statistics are extremely gorgeous, and the Rockets' record is also higher than that of the Lone Ranger, the two teams are in completely different situations, and Harden still lost in the tie with Doncic. Come on.

Doncic led a team that had previously been at the bottom of the league back to the playoffs, while Harden reduced the Rockets, who had won the Best Fighting Award two years ago, to the Western Conference Finals. The seventh position, so it is not surprising to be squeezed out for a while.

As for the decline in the Rockets' record, should Westbrook be blamed...no one cares anymore.

With 5 places in the best third team, the second head of the Lakers, Jimmy Butler, finally relied on his data performance of 23.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists and the addition of the team's record.

He was also selected at the same time as the Thunder's Chris Paul, the Celtics' Jayson Tatum, the Warriors' Klay Thompson and the Pelicans' Anthony Davis.

Of these five people, Brother Big Eyebrow is obviously the most embarrassing one, because the Pelicans are the only team that did not make the playoffs.

Brother Nongmei's data this season is a career high, averaging 29 points, 11.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.9 blocks per game. Both offensive and defensive performances are perfect, but the Pelicans are only ranked tenth in the Western Conference and missed the playoffs.

Originally expected Zion Williams to become his right-hand man after he came to the Pelicans, but Zion missed most of the season due to injury, and finally played more than 20 games with the team, but at that time the Pelicans It was too late to catch up.

It is foreseeable that the bad record has made Brother Nongmei unbearable, and he is likely to ask to leave the team again this summer. After all, he does not have a few years of peak time to wait for Zion Williams to grow into a top superstar.

……

After the best team, is the best defensive team.

Those selected for the best defensive team are Wang Feng, Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo, Davis, Rudy Gobert and Ben Simmons.

The defensive second team is led by Leonard, Adebayor of the Heat, Beverly of the Clippers, Smart of the Celtics and Bledsoe of the Bucks.

The announcement of the best team, some people are happy and some are not.

Just like this season, the Wizards guard Bradley Beal, who scored 30+ points per game and is one of only four players in the league averaging 30+ points per game, didn't even make it to the best third team.

Similarly, in the same period as Doncic, Trey Young, who averaged 29.6 points and 9.3 assists per game, did not lose to Doncic in terms of statistics, and was not selected for the best team.

Trey Young, as the current season's All-Star starter in the Eastern Conference, failed to be selected for the best team, which can be regarded as creating an embarrassing record.

Of course, the reason why the above two players failed to make the All-NBA Team is also very simple. The team did not make it to the playoffs.

The records of the Wizards and the Eagles are less than 40%, ranking No.11 and No. [-] in the Eastern Conference respectively, which is worse than that of the Pelicans of Brother Nongmei. Therefore, Brother Nongmei was selected for the best third team, and these two were excluded. .

It is worth mentioning that Westbrook, who averages 27+8+8 per game, also thinks he is eligible to be selected to the best team... Well, well, at least from the data point of view, Westbrook is definitely qualified, but like Ha Just like Deng lost the best team and became the best second team, Westbrook's data combined with the team's record can only be used as a deduction item, so let's not mention it.
