Learning in the NBA can make you a god

All Eastern and Western playoff matchups are confirmed.

"Nacha, do you have confidence in the team?" Before the start of the playoffs, Li Tian called Kobe's phone to prevent him from being depressed due to injuries.

He even said euphemistically, "Everything is for Kobe's good, I don't want him to sink like this."

In fact, it was just to stimulate Kobe and tease him a little bit in retaliation for what happened when he just joined the Lakers and was tortured in singles.

"Lee, just wait for me, I will definitely return to the game and lead the team to win against the Kings!"

Kobe is a tough guy, but he's not stupid. He definitely doesn't expect the Lakers to win against the Kings this season, even in a playoff game.

"Haha, I'm waiting. When will the operation be performed?"

After the teasing was over, it was time to get down to business, and surgery was his biggest concern.

"It will be soon. The surgical plan is still being discussed. Once the results of the discussion come out, I will operate immediately. What's wrong, are you eager to be abused by me? It seems that you have a masochistic tendency?"

The duck's mouth is on the line again, but the iron head still cannot change.

"We'll see then. If you say something soft, I might be a little softer in the next game against the Lakers. Do you want that?"

Kobe's blood immediately surged, and he almost fainted on the ground. This was a naked provocation to himself, and he absolutely couldn't bear it.

"Beep beep!" Kobe hung up the phone directly.

Seeing her husband's angry look, Mrs. Wa could guess that one of O'Neal and Li Tian must have called him, otherwise it would be difficult for others to affect her husband's mood.

Western Conference first-round matchups: Kings VS Lakers; Warriors VS Mavericks; Clippers VS Spurs; Trail Blazers VS Grizzlies.

Just looking at the strength, the difference in strength between the first two groups is relatively large, but when the latter two groups play against each other, it is really hard to say. No matter which team can advance to the next round, it will not be a surprise.

First-round matchups in the Eastern Conference: Knicks VS Bucks; Hawks VS Wizards; Nets VS Raptors; Cavaliers VS Bulls.

The sudden rise of the Hawks has surprised many media. The Cavaliers are only fourth in the Eastern Conference, which is another surprise.

The Kings have won two consecutive games at home, and then they will visit Los Angeles, which makes Li Tian very excited.

As soon as I got off the plane, I took a car to Kobe's home again. Because he had just had a successful surgery, he could only recuperate at home. Such a good opportunity must not be missed.

"Old guy, I'm here to see you again. A game without you is meaningless." The voice was the guide, and it quickly reached Kobe's ears. He originally wanted to hide for a while, but then he looked at his feet and gave up instantly. .

The doctor had specifically told him not to move around casually and to be careful about the wound, so he could only choose to endure it.

"Are you still fragile now?"

"Does it still hurt? I told you that you are old, why are you so stubborn?"

"Does it hurt here? Let me see!"

As he said that, he was going to take off Kobe's trousers to see what he would look like after the surgery.

"Get out of here, I never want to see you again!" Kobe roared.

Li Tian didn't care at all, and just looked at Kobe's injured foot. Anyway, this guy couldn't resist now, so he did this. As the victim, Kobe could only stare.

After staying for a while, I asked him by the way before leaving, "In one month, your injury should be able to move around, right?"

"Absolutely. Are you afraid that I will make you cry when the time comes?" Kobe smiled happily. He thought it was Li Tian who was scared. This opportunity must not be missed.

"No, no, you're overthinking it. I'm just trying to see if I should invite you to the King's home court to witness me win the championship with your own eyes!"

After saying that, he ran away, never giving Kobe a chance to throw anything away.

"Dad, I want to go see it!"

Just when he was about to get angry, Kobe heard his precious daughter's words and could only reply, "Okay, then our whole family will go and watch."

What can I do? Sometimes I will sweat if I wear a cotton-padded jacket too much.

In the past few days in Los Angeles, Li Tian would come over to see Kobe whenever he had time. He was still really worried that this guy would develop symptoms of autism if he was bored for a long time.

Fortunately, the Lakers lost 4 games in a row, and Kobe never went to watch the game at home because the loss was so miserable. In the end, Li Tian told his teammates not to kill him or they would be a little embarrassed when they meet again in the future.

In this way, the Kings easily reached the second round of the playoffs.

One day later, the Trail Blazers' series against the Grizzlies also ended. Without Lillard's help, Aldridge was swept out by the Grizzlies 4-0.

The Kings' next opponent is officially announced. The Kings will face the Grizzlies in the next round of the playoffs.

The overall strength of the Grizzlies team is not that good, but it can play well, especially in the inside, and with both the black and white bears, it is really difficult to kill the bears.

Soon the first round showdown was over.

At the critical moment, the three Spurs veterans broke out, and Leonard also successfully prevented Griffin's layup, and finally had the last laugh.

The Spurs won the series 4:3 against the Clippers without DeAndre Jordan, which can be said to be a pass.

The Warriors also quickly defeated the Mavericks 4:1 and successfully entered the second round of the playoffs.

The four teams from the Eastern Conference that entered this round also appeared. The Knicks defeated the Bucks 4:1, the Hawks defeated the Wizards 4:2, the Nets defeated the Raptors 4:0, and the Cavaliers were also suspected of passing the test, and their performance was unstable in the 4:2 defeat. of Ross.

The second round showdowns of the playoffs are out, Western Conference Kings VS Grizzlies, Warriors VS Spurs; Eastern Conference Knicks VS Cavaliers, Hawks VS Nets.

The two teams with the best hopes of reaching the Finals in the Eastern Conference faced each other in advance in the second round. The series between the Knicks and the Cavaliers attracted the most attention.The Kings are very popular, but their opponent is the Grizzlies, so their appeal has dropped a lot. The Grizzlies are really slow to play.

"Boss, we're going to fight a grizzly bear!" Cousins' face shrank into a chrysanthemum, as if it had been shattered by a fart.

The same goes for other teammates, especially Lillard and Harden who like to break through. Gordon is even more obvious. Let alone others, it is really difficult for him to face the two black and white bears. The two walls inside are really Not easy to fight.

Everyone's expectant eyes were waiting for Li Tian's answer. Although Tyronn Lu did not come over, he still raised his ears to see if he had any good suggestions.

"Are you so afraid of Gasol and Randolph?" He looked at everyone with a curious face. They swept the Grizzlies in the regular season. Why are these guys so afraid in the playoffs?

"Yes, it's mainly him. They are too fat. Although I am also very strong, there is still a big difference in weight!" Gordon said helplessly.

Apart from anything else, Gordon is still far behind Randolph and Gasol. That is to say, he is the same height as Randolph. Gordon is less than 100 kilograms, while Randolph is close to 120 kilograms. His weight is The difference is too obvious.

"Boss, please give me some advice. With my small body, I really can't handle it!" Gordon also risked his life, relying on Li Tian.

"You guys, have you forgotten that our specialty is running?"

"That's right, let's just run like this. We try to avoid positional battles as much as possible. We just run and fight." Tyronn Lue jumped out immediately before everyone could react.

The Kings have always started with fast breaks, but when facing the Grizzlies, who focus on positional warfare, they even forgot their own special skills.

Apart from anything else, the Kings are good at fast breaks and won't shy away from any opponent in positional battles.

You must know that Cousins, Gobert, and Li Tian are all players with extremely strong defensive abilities.

The Kings have discussed the tactics, which is to combine fast and slow, strengthen defense on the fast line, and do zone defense inside. Gasol and Randolph are basically playing singles, and this is their opportunity.

"Boss, I haven't seen you for a long time. I feel a little regretful now. I'm still happy to be on the same team with you, and I won't get bored even if I win!" Teacher Tony was the first to come over.

Although Conley and Gasol were familiar with him, they didn't come over at this time. After all, they were opponents next, and everything had to wait until the end of the game.

All the Kings players ran as hard as they could. Randolph and Gasol were defeated by the end of the first half.

The point difference between the two teams widened at the beginning of the second half. Cousins ​​and Gobert took turns sniping their opponents inside. As long as Conley and Courtney Lee rushed to the inside, they would be killed wildly by the two.Conley is the worst, averaging 2.5 hotpots per game, which is really miserable.

The Grizzlies were swept out again, and the Kings had the last laugh.

"Lee, I have to admire you. You are too strong. We are willing to lose!" After G4, Conley also took the initiative to say hello. Of course, the Grizzlies management was once again criticized on the hot search.

It was still because of Li Tian being sent to the Lakers. Although Marc Gasol is also very good and tastes good, compared with Li Tianyi, it doesn't taste good at all.

If there is no comparison, there is no harm. It can be said that the Grizzlies' transaction is the most losing transaction in the history of the league.

The Grizzlies management has long been used to it. They have been scolded a lot and have no idea of ​​resistance.

"Otherwise, I would be very happy if you signed with the Kings with a minimum salary!" He couldn't help but joke.

"It's really possible, but my contract with the Grizzlies is not over yet." Conley actually really wanted to go. He also knew that the Grizzlies would not trade him, and at the same time, it was impossible for the Kings to want him. The contract was too big and his ability was poor. A bit much.

"I'm just kidding, don't think too much, the Grizzlies are still pretty good. If not, maybe I might have put on the Grizzlies jersey and won the championship trophy!" He said with a smile, thinking about the past, still Somewhat regretful.

"Hey, you guy, why have you gained weight again? Aren't you afraid that your brother will catch you and beat you up in two days?"

He patted Gasol's belly hard, and the flesh was shaking.

"Uh, hehe. Can I go to the Kings home court to watch the next game?" Gasol couldn't help scratching his head, feeling a little embarrassed. He thought it would be better to see his brother later, otherwise he would really Easily beaten.

"It's okay to go. I can also reserve tickets for you, but you must buy them at the original price!" What do you think? You see, I welcome you, but if you want to get tickets for the game, no way!

That's my business, don't even think about having sex for free.

"Ah, do you want me to buy the tickets myself?" Gasol regretted a little. That ticket was worth a lot of money, and it made him feel sick to hear it.

If the Kings really reach the finals, the price will be at least US$10+.

"Why, the tickets for the Kings are all the boss's money. Our championship bonus depends on just these tickets!" He rolled his eyes at Gasol angrily and took a step back with a look of disgust.

"All right!"

The Kings flew overnight and returned to Sacramento. They had to return to their home court and wait for their next opponent.

The Warriors and Spurs are old and powerful teams and new and powerful teams. There are still some highlights in young vs. old.

A week later, the Warriors had the last laugh. There was no way he could really run. Leonard's defense was really strong, but when faced with the Warriors running like this, the Spurs' defense became worse.

The Spurs' overall defense, both inside and outside, has been defeated by the Warriors.

The results of the Eastern and Western finals have been reached.

The Western Conference finals are against the Kings VS Warriors. Both teams are newly promoted teams in recent seasons; the Cavaliers and Nets had the last laugh in the Eastern Conference finals.

The Eastern Conference is a familiar routine again, while the two Western teams are teams that have never reached the Western Conference Finals in the past few seasons.

"Seth, what do you think about playing against your brother?" Cousins ​​patted Seth Curry on the shoulder.

"Well, to be honest, my brother is really stronger than me, but he is not without weaknesses!" At this time, betraying his brother is not a shameful thing.

"What's the weakness?" Lillard asked impatiently. This is the player he wants to play against.

If the Kings can reach the finals, the two rounds of playoffs will be the real test for Lillard.The next ones to face off are Curry and Irving. If he can play better, he will have a chance to get the maximum salary, but if his performance is not as good as the opponent and he wants to get the maximum salary, then there is really little hope. .

"Not strong on defense!" This is really not that good for Lillard, but for other Kings players, it is much happier.

Don't say anything, just misplaced singles, then go crazy on Curry, draw fouls and then defeat him, or beat him down in advance.

"Lee, how should we play?" Tyronn Lue also knew that against the Grizzlies in the last round, he really didn't expect to be able to play so easily.

He still underestimated Li Tian's ability. As long as he was on the court, the team rarely had problems and could quickly adjust. There was rarely an offensive outage.

As long as the opponent makes several attacks in a row and cannot score at the same time, he will take up the offensive banner at this critical moment, as long as there are almost no failures in singles.

"Didn't Seth Curry already say it? His brother has weaknesses. Curry is the core of this Warriors team's offense, but they also have another core!"

This sentence made all the teammates angry. You must know that a team rarely has two offensive cores. Even the Big Three of the Green Army at the time, most of the time the offense was dominated by Pierce, and the defense was dominated by Pierce. Mainly Garnett.

"Who is the other core?" Everyone was puzzled. After all, this matter was still a bit unreasonable.

The core of the Cavaliers is James, the core of the Knicks is George, the core of the Lakers is Kobe, the core of the Nets is Anthony, and the core of the Kings has always been Li Tian.

Regardless of Harden, Lillard and Cousins, although in many games, the three of them have very good scoring, rebounding and other statistics, the core of the team is definitely Li Tian, ​​and there will be no second person. .

"It's him, his defense is also the core of the Warriors, and Steve Kerr also has extraordinary abilities. Don't underestimate this rookie coach, his abilities are also extraordinary!"

After knocking on Draymond Green and rookie coach Steve Kerr, everyone looked solemn. They would not doubt what their boss said.

"How should we operate?" Tyronn Lue is definitely not as stubborn as Kobe, and he will definitely learn a lesson.

"Change the formation, put Gordon on the bench, and put Covington in the starting lineup. There is only one goal, and that is to lock Green, and at the same time, constantly stimulate him and beat him down."

This is the only way to operate. Try it with Covington. Gordon's defensive ability is still a little worse, especially in terms of experience, and his emotional control is still a lot worse.

"Boss me." Gordon was a little disappointed. He really didn't want to return to the bench. This was a distrust of his ability.

"Your offense is good, but your defensive ability is still far behind. You have been in the league for too short a time, and your defensive ability is a bit behind."

When Li Tian was talking, he was still looking at Gordon. He didn't want to make him unhappy because of this rotation and thus become alienated from the team.

"Come train at my place during the offseason!" Even if you slap him, you still have to give him a date.

"I know boss, I will work hard to strengthen my training!" Gordon also secretly vowed that he must strengthen his defensive ability in the offseason.

"Then it's settled!" Tyronn Lue finally made up his mind to change the formation to strengthen the team's defense. Gordon is excellent in all aspects, but his experience is still lacking.

As soon as the game between the two teams started, the Warriors were confused.

In the five-position matchup, point guard Stephen Curry faced Lillard. At this time, Curry did not have an elevator door tactic. It was really not that easy to get rid of Lillard easily.

Against Harden, Thompson has a height advantage, but his strength and speed are still lacking. With Li's daily training, his running without the ball is definitely not weak.

Thompson hasn't reached his peak yet, either.

There is no comparison between the small forwards, the gap is too big; when the power forward Green plays against Covington, Covington's outside shots are stronger than Green and more flexible.

Bodog inside is definitely no match for the younger Cousins.

After four games, the Warriors were so easily swept out by the Kings. Curry was so miserable. The worst thing was his brother's scornful expression after winning against the Warriors. This was what made him most angry.

In this way, Seth Curry's tickets for the Finals were stolen by his boss. At the same time, Stephen Curry also went home and knelt down several times for instant noodles, but they still couldn't be broken.

Before going to the nightclub, he was caught by his wife kneeling down. It was as miserable as it could be. The two brothers really hurt each other.

"Brother, are the instant noodles broken?" Seth Curry immediately called his brother, just to know how miserable his brother was.

"Go away, you're done for the offseason!"

The Kings also reached the Finals again, something that has not happened in many seasons.
