The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 335 Pay close attention to weaknesses (5300 word chapter)
On the night of May 5th, as the Clippers beat the Spurs by 19 points, Amerika's ball critics finally shouted out the classic slogan:

"The Clippers Championship!"

The huge point difference shows the dominance of the Clippers, and sports reporters from all walks of life are a little unbelievable. After all, in the Western Conference semifinals, the Spurs played so well!
Is the Thunder too bad?Or is the Clippers too strong?

Everyone couldn't tell why for a while, so at the press conference after the game, everyone enthusiastically asked Popovich's head coach:
"We noticed that in the first quarter, the Spurs were already behind by 12 points. Can you talk about this game and the team's defensive strategy?"

Popovich, who was in a bad mood, heard such a question and immediately answered:

"Teaming the ball holder, this is the game strategy we formulated before the game. As for why it didn't work, it may be because we didn't fully implement the defensive strategy."

The ESPN reporter seemed to hear Popovich's voice, and immediately asked with interest:

"In the next game, will the Spurs continue to use tonight's defensive strategy and continue to flank Kayce?"

"We will go back and review the video again. As for the choice of tactics, you can pay attention to the game the day after tomorrow."

The media can't wait any longer, even if it's something out of nothing, they have to follow suit and report.

Deter the opponent's offensive players, make it easier to miss shots, reduce the physical consumption caused by defensive actions, and increase the chances of players blocking frontal shots.

"I don't mind teaming up with LeBron, but considering the reputation, I guess the Clippers are definitely not the opponent's choice."

On the Spurs side, Popovich has been constantly adjusting personnel, and has always maintained a large-scale rotation to allow the main lineup to have sufficient rest time.

In the best team, Wade and Bosh are no longer there. At the same time, the golden generation of 96 officially went offline with Kobe's injury.

"These reporters know how to circle around LeBron James. He has never won a championship, but he always becomes the focus of the league."

Li Ze still looks relaxed, as long as he wins an away game, the battle of Tianwangshan will return to Los Angeles!

"It's a pity that Andrew Jordan doesn't have such dominance, so the Spurs can safely commit bold fouls. The easiest way for the Clippers to deal with this tactic is to replace this rough-skilled big man."

On the plane, everyone in the Clippers looked serious. After losing a home game, everyone was very nervous.

Little Jordan sat on the bench with a depressed face. At the most critical moment of the game, coach De Nagro chose a small lineup.

Li Ze also took up the conversation with a smile, and said in the same serious way:

Clippers fans yelled at the Spurs for playing a free throw game, no one likes to watch 1 point!
But the Spurs don’t care about this after winning the game. There will be more than two days of rest, and the old men who regained the initiative will not give up easily. It is foreseeable that the Spurs will still adopt the same strategy after returning home.

Near the end of the season, the badges on his body also ushered in a harvest moment. After the last game, Li Ze once again harvested two purple badges.

Hearing the question from the TNT reporter, James was a little powerless to complain, and he had reached full output on both offensive and defensive ends, what else should he do?

The sports media at the scene looked at each other after watching the game. Is this a win?
In the commentary seat of ESPN, Jeff Van Gundy looked at the technical statistics in his hands, and was also a little speechless. The Spurs played mediocre, but the Clippers, who lost their offensive rhythm, failed to perform well.

Paul, who was dressed in a gray formal suit, was asked with a question mark on his face. This was a press conference for the Western Conference finals, and he helped him to win a division championship.
"I haven't considered these issues yet. I'm completely focused on the Western Conference Finals now!"

Made 12 of 4 free throws in a single quarter, relying on the tactic of cutting Jordan, after three quarters, 80:74, the Spurs overtook the score.

勒布朗-詹姆斯18中9，砍下22分7篮板6助攻2抢断3盖帽3失误，波什9中4，最后只拿到了9分。

"squeak!"

Unlike the Clippers, the Spurs began to change players frequently in the next game, and even gave many opportunities directly to Jordan.

Hearing Kenny Smith's ridicule, the three of them immediately laughed together. If they fouled at the beginning of the game, maybe the referee wouldn't be able to see it.
On May 5, everyone in the Clippers set off for San Antonio. Tomorrow night, G24 of the Western Conference Finals will officially start.

"The playoffs start with an away game win, go to the away game, win the next game, and we will regain the initiative!"

“降低高度后，邓肯的表现更加出色，13中8，砍下21分11篮板4助攻2抢断，1盖帽1失误。”

Strengthen the ability to receive a difficult pass and quickly put the ball on the floor, enhance the shooting rate directly after receiving a difficult pass, and reduce the impact of frontal defenders.

"LeBron wants to become the team's top card. At this point, most teams in the league will raise their hands, but we have no shortage of core."

"Kayce made 20 of 12 last game, including 9 of 5 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 35 points. According to the current situation, he needs to take over the game as soon as possible."

Chris Paul, Li Ze, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Blake Griffin;
The five members of the second team are:

Seeing that Popovich was about to send Jordan Jr. to the free throw line, head coach De Nagro finally couldn't bear it and was forced to rotate. He replaced Tucker and put on a lineup of one big and four small.

Li Ze felt something was wrong on the field, and the leading Spurs finally played a strong response.

Commentator Mike Breen noticed that the Spurs made 37 of 31 free throws and the Clippers made 36 of 23 free throws, and finally shook his head with a smile and said:

The Clippers launched a crazy counterattack in the fourth quarter. Li Ze hit consecutive shots. Looking back, Leonard continued to respond.

At 70:66, relying on Jordan's consecutive missed free throws, the Spurs quietly led by 4 points.

Taking a deep breath, Jordan, standing on the free throw line, kept making shots, and finally missed both free throws.
The rebound was protected by Splitter, and the Spurs stopped the Clippers' scoring momentum.

The media in Los Angeles have been celebrating Li Ze and Paul's successful selection to the defensive team for the past two days. The title of the strongest backcourt in the league has once again been thrown to the two.

Although in individual rounds, Li Ze will still be double-teamed, but in most of the time, the Spurs will use Leonard to defend alone.

Lee Ze, Chris Paul, Paul George, Serge Ibaka, Joakim Noah.

Jordan will be directly fouled when he comes on the field. At the end of the third quarter, Matt Bonner, who played for 4 minutes, directly contributed [-] fouls
At the Staples Center, the fans began to boo the Spurs' defensive strategy, it was ugly!The most important thing is that Jordan's free throw really stretched.

Li Ze, who was reading a gossip magazine, soon heard Griffin's complaints about turning into lemon essence:
"The direction of the media has changed too quickly. In the past two days, they have started advocating the Heat again."

At 96:100, the Spurs made another victory at home, and the series came to a score of 1:2.

"If you can take the lead at halftime, many problems will be solved. Of course, it is not ruled out that the head coach Popovich will use this tactic from the beginning."

That night's game, Popovich completely changed the previous defensive strategy.

At 87:99, the Heat easily defeated their opponents, and the big score in the series came to 2:1.

Little Jordan, who was going down, was pulled down by Duncan who switched up before he had time to eat the cake.

格里芬19中12，罚球6中5，砍下29分9篮板1助攻3盖帽3失误。

At 3 minutes and 3 seconds into the third quarter, Chris Paul once again played a high pick-and-roll with Jordan.

Li Ze and Griffin were not asked any strange questions, but the media dragged Paul down.

The five members of the second team are:

Compared with what happened to the Spurs, the Clippers, who won by a big score, received unanimous praise from critics!
克里斯-保罗本场比赛15中7，其中三分球3中1，罚球4中3，18分4篮板8助攻1抢断2失误。

On the evening of the 20th, the Eastern Conference finals, the Heat and the Pacers officially started G2.

If they lose again in the game tomorrow night, the big score in the series will be 1:2, and G4 will become a battle of life and death.

"Chris, should we try to recruit LeBron during the offseason? We actually still lack an All-Star No. 3!"

Stephen Curry, James Harden, Kevin Love, Joakim Noah, Dwight Howard;
The five members of the third team are:

Hearing Li Ze's words, Little Jordan, who was obediently sitting in his seat, smiled reluctantly. If he made a free throw on time, the game would have been over long ago.
As soon as the game ended, the Los Angeles media immediately bombarded the Spurs. The Fox Sports column immediately updated an article:
"Ugly Victory! "

Compared with LeBron James, Chris Paul is in a good mood. Once again selected to the best defensive team, not only can activate some additional clauses, but also consolidate his position as the league's number one point guard.

Coach Vogel urgently needs to protect the home court, so he slammed the main players that night. In the starting lineup, except for David West, the other 4 players played more than 40 minutes
In the end, the Heat won the victory, 87:83. After the game, the Jamies were relieved, and the Pacers brought their own hip buff
韦德发挥出色，16中10，拿到23分5篮板5助攻3失误。

In the next few rounds, the Spurs, which expanded their rotation, began to foul Jordan frequently. The referee whistled continuously, and the game was blown to pieces.

After that, the Spurs also took advantage of the opportunity to replace Splitter and took Dior, who was also a senior and a junior.

"I don't care about the results of this selection. I am currently fully focused on the Eastern Conference finals!"

Winning was grinning. After the game, everyone didn't mention the matter of mocking the Heat before, and once again crazily sent out praises.

But the 4-point difference was finally maintained until the end. At 112:108, the Spurs in the away game stole a victory.

As the Spurs defended three and played two, completely consumed the Clippers' timeout, and the game finally ended.

The whistle of the Spurs back at home was much looser. Compared with the frequent whistle of G2, G3 almost became a death blow.
Seeing that the point difference returned to 4 points, coach De Nagro once again requested a timeout.

"From a viewing point of view, this game is definitely not qualified, but the Spurs have completed their task, with a big score of 1:1, and they have taken the initiative."

After the match, the two attended the press conference together with Li Ze. Facing the wild praises from various sports media, the two remained strict and did not say anything excessive.

"Andrew, don't think too much, at least you let Matt Bonner and Aaron Baynes both leave the field with 6 fouls, didn't you?"

"But the fans will never like this game. The boos at Staples Center were all over the place tonight."

"Coach Popovich seems to have found a way to win!"

In the next 2 minutes, the Spurs were still fouling. Fortunately, Jordan made two free throws and his shooting percentage began to rise. In addition, the Spurs hit the iron themselves, and the point difference remained at 4 points.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, in this game, the GDP combination performed poorly, but Leonard carried the team's offense.

O'Neal seemed to think of some funny topic, and talked about Jordan's performance in a slightly mocking tone:
"I have said long ago that a center must have the ability to attack independently. It is very simple to deal with free throws. In addition to making free throws, try to complete the offense as much as possible. 2+0 is much better than two free throws."

In the league, no one can escape the word fame and fortune
On May 5, G21 of the Western Conference Finals officially started.

The game kicked off at 21 o'clock in the evening, but it was almost 23 o'clock when the game ended
Coach Popovich smiled after the game, and shook hands with Coach De Nagro with a smile on his face.

The league seems to have entered a new era, and the players in the 09 class have also begun to emerge.

Achievement Badge [Defensive Deterrence]: (Fusionable)

Praying for opponents to make mistakes at critical moments is itself an unreliable thing.

The fans at the scene were very dissatisfied. Everyone wanted to see a wonderful alley-oop dunk, but no one wanted to see Jordan's free throw.

Coach DeNagello frowned watching Jordan, who was constantly standing on the free throw line. After a few rounds, the Spurs even overtook the score.

In the last quarter of the game, the Clippers' rotation became shorter and shorter. Coach De Nagro tried to increase the playing time of the main lineup and chase the score difference.

"I have said long ago that the Clippers' internal dominance is not good. Taking PJ-Tucker and strengthening the protection of rebounds in the backcourt will be the only way for the Clippers."

Patrick Beverley, Jimmy Butler, Kawhi Leonard, LeBron James, Roy Hibbert.

Throughout the day, it was over and over again about the dominance of the Clippers.

The referee immediately signaled for a foul, and Jordan made two free throws.

The media reporters at the scene laughed out loud. What's even more outrageous is that some sports media also took the opportunity to ask Paul about LeBron James' offseason choice.
If there is no hotspot, create one out of nothing!
On May 5th, America's sports media finally helped the Clippers loan the championship, and everyone directly started blowing.

Achievement badge [sticky hands]: (can be merged)

Except for some dissatisfaction among the fans of the Heat, the best team is well-deserved.

After the game, in the Clippers locker room, everyone’s eyes were straight. This game was not only free throws, but also 23 of 7 from beyond the three-point line. Li Ze and Ray Allen combined for 12 of 7, and the other teammates made 11 0.

Paul smiled and waved his hands, then said solemnly:

On Reddit, Jamie crazily complained about the voting results, and the TNT reporter who smelled the big news even found LeBron James:
"LeBron, can you talk about not being selected to the All-Defensive Team this year?"

Kenny Smith heard the views of the two, but shook his head:
"The Clippers need rebounds, and only with rebounds can they switch offense. Jordan is a very important part!"

However, for coach Spoelstra, although he won the victory, Bosh was injured. Considering the team's stretched interior, the Heat's coaching staff was also a bit overwhelmed for a while.
On the night of the 24th, at the AT Center Arena, the Spurs fans shouted excitedly.

After the announcement of this list, it immediately caused an uproar. LeBron James actually fell to the second team of the best defense?
"Shady, absolutely shady!"

Tony Parker, Damian Lillard, Paul George, LaMarcus Aldridge, Al Jefferson.

“伦纳德命中率不高，但连续切入内线，16中5，罚球10中8，拿到了18分9篮板3助攻2失误。”

"At the same time, I don't think Coach DeNagro is going to stick with Andrew Jordan."

"Shh!"

After losing two more rounds of backcourt rebounds, the point difference quietly came to 6 points.

Join if you can't beat, fans will not support such a player
On the evening of the 24th, G3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals officially started, and the Heat, who returned home, taught the Pacers a lesson.

Charles Barkley immediately agreed and took over the conversation:

Matt Barnes heard Griffin's words and immediately said jokingly:
"If you are also a player option this summer, media reporters will circle around you. To be honest, even I am very curious about James' choice."

Li Ze no longer looked at the technical statistics. Jordan made 16 of 6 free throws and had done his best. The loss was just a problem with the details of the game.

At the end of the first half, the two sides battled to 50:51, and the Clippers led by only 1 point.

"Paul, if you continue to reach the finals this year, then this will be the second time you and LeBron James have played against each other! If you beat your opponent again, will this affect the intimacy between you two?"

In this round, the Spurs suddenly double-teamed, and Splitter was delayed a lot. Facing such a defense, Paul, who was holding the ball in his right hand, first accelerated his dribble, came to the elbow on the right side of the free throw line, and immediately sent a lob pass!

In the end, coach De Nagro chose to shorten Jordan's playing time. Jordan's free throw percentage will not suddenly increase. In the last game, the coaching staff's reaction was half a beat slower.

In the subsequent games, as long as the Spurs frequently foul Jordan, the Clippers will take advantage of the opportunity to switch to a smaller lineup.

G1 may be the temptation of both sides.

However, Amerika's sports media are more concerned about the follow-up Western Conference Finals at this time. In the TNT program, the host Ernie Johnson began to talk about the tactics used by the Spurs in the previous game:
"Shaq, I think you will definitely have a way to deal with free throw tactics. How do you think the Clippers should adjust?"

Mentioning LeBron James' reputation in recent years, everyone in the Clippers showed a smile that we understand. If he fails consecutively and joins the Clippers, then James will definitely explode in word of mouth.

The fans of the Spurs screamed excitedly, this year the team is more mature, as long as they win another game, they will get the match point!

After the game, the players from both sides simply paid their respects, and Li Ze walked back to the player tunnel with everyone in the Clippers.

The Clippers don't have much room for adjustment, the height drops, the rebounding is not dominant, and the tactics are fine, but the outside feels cold for two consecutive games, but they can't send the ball to the basket.

After patting Jordan who only played for 26 minutes in this game, Li Ze walked to the locker room with a calm expression, but he had no choice but to think:
"After all, we still need blood C for a few rounds!"
