The perfect life of basketball

Chapter 213 212 Under the lottery, smiling Stern!

After another two days, the two tie-breakers in the Western Conference are finally over, and the first round of the series is also over!
The match between the Thunder and the Lakers was still more energetic, and the "Thunder Shuang Shao" survived to the end.

However, they are not the winners of this game. The hero of their victory is Howard of the Lakers!
It seems that the conflict in the Lakers locker room after the last game may be more intense than the gossip. Howard did not appear on the scene directly. It seems that Howard's departure from the Lakers is a foregone conclusion!

The Thunder's management wiped off their cold sweat. Fortunately, they were not hacked, or else they would have given the fans a slap in the face!
On the other side, the matchup between the Clippers and the Grizzlies was exactly as Ye Yingjie thought. In the tiebreaker, the Clippers were defeated by the Grizzlies!
The Clippers were defended by the Grizzlies and scored only 17 points in the first quarter, and only 39 points in the half!
Since the Grizzlies sent Gay to the Raptors before the trade deadline, they have become more and more courageous.

Among them, Tony Allen's performance outside the three-point line is impressive, reaching 38%, becoming a qualified "3D" player!

In this tiebreaker, Tony Allen scored 3 three-pointers, scored 15 points, and only scored 21 points on 7 of 18 shots defended by Paul!It can be said that he has completed his task perfectly!

And Griffin still failed to break through the defense of the black and white bears, only scoring 12 points!
With the performance of the two top stars, the team's loss is also expected!

The floor of the Western Conference Finals is still so out of reach in the eyes of a 185 masked man.

At this point, the first round of the series is all over, and the Eastern and Western semi-final matchup list is also released!

The Eastern Conference semifinals are the Bulls against the Pacers and the Heat against the Knicks.

In the West, Glory will play against the Grizzlies, and the Thunder will play against the Spurs!
Although the process of this year's playoffs is very tortuous, the results are basically within the predictions of experts!
Except for the Clippers who were defeated by the Grizzlies, the other teams in the upper half won!
At this time, many media began to predict the trend of the semi-finals.

The teams that have made it to the present are basically strong teams, and the gap between the teams is much smaller than before. As long as there is a slight difference, the result of the game may be rewritten!
The strong unpredictability also makes the game more exciting and intense!
In the eyes of many mainstream media and experts, the Bulls and Heat still have an absolute advantage in the East!
In the duel between the Bulls and the Pacers, although the Pacers are currently in full swing, Paul George was also revealed by WOJ that he will be the most improved player, but facing the mighty Bulls, they are far from enough!

The vast majority of reporters predict that the Bulls will win within 5 games, and only a handful of reporters predict that the Bulls will need 6 games to win!
The Heat and the Knicks, although these two teams are No.2 and No.3 in the Eastern Conference, the difference in wins between the two teams is a terrifying 12 games, which means the Heat won 12 more games than the Knicks!The gap between the two teams is obvious. Although this group of banana boat brothers is full of star flavor, the result should not be too unexpected!

Except for a reporter who predicted that the Knicks would win the tie-break, other experts predicted that the Heat would win within 6 games.

Emmm. . .This whore must belong to the Knicks!

The west side is more complicated and confusing.

Let's talk about the Thunder and the Spurs first, they are old enemies!
These two teams participated in the Western Conference finals last year, and the old Spurs fell under the Thunder's fists!

But this year, let's not say that the Thunder lacked Harden, the No. 18 scorer who scored [-] points in the Western Conference Finals last year. The improvement of the Spurs' wing is what the Thunder should be most afraid of!

After a season of training, Danny Green's three-point shooting rate has increased to 42% of the super shooter level. In addition, after he has adjusted his mentality, the defense has become better and better. It can be said that it is now the "3D" in the league. The best template for players!
In addition, after a year of training, Leonard's scoring average in the second grade has reached 13 points. Although the score is not high, he is already the No. [-] scorer of the Spurs, second only to Parker and Duncan!

Although his scoring was surpassed by "Demon Sword" in the playoffs, his scoring ability should not be underestimated.

In addition to scoring ability, Leonard's biggest improvement is his defensive ability. Duncan's selfless teaching and his diligent practice have made him improve significantly this season. Many strikers have become ghosts under his giant palm !

In Ye Yingjie's view, Leonard's restriction on Durant is the winner of this game!

But now Ye Yingjie is not in the mood to care about other things, because the Grizzlies have already flown to New Orleans!
With the enemy at hand, Ye Yingjie couldn't control the other three groups' duels anymore, so he closed his social media again to prepare for the challenge!
To be honest, among the three opponents of the Thunder, Spurs and Grizzlies, the Grizzlies are the last thing he wants to face. Of course, the reason is not just that he will face Allen's defense.

Many external media believed that the Glory team had drawn the upper lottery, as long as they killed the Grizzlies, they could wait for the winners of the Thunder and Spurs with ease, but Ye Yingjie felt that the Grizzlies were the lower lottery!
To be honest, the current Glory team is not afraid of the opponent's strong offense. Whether it is the Thunder's powerful singles or the Spurs' overall defense, they are confident that they will win the series without being so bruised.

Glory to everyone: No matter how powerful their offense is, they are definitely not as powerful as ours.

And the Grizzlies, which focus on defense and ground attack, are the most feared opponents of the Glory team, because it is easy to be misled, so if this round of the series wants to win easily, the two teams of Ye Yingjie and Harden A rhythmic person is very important!

After this day's training, Coach Stevens pulled Ye Yingjie aside to discuss for a while.

The next day, May 5th, the semifinal match between the Glory and the Grizzlies officially started!
Although this matchup was not as topical as the matchup between the Thunder and the Spurs, and there were not as many stars as them, the Glory Center Arena was still packed!

With Jie here, we will watch the game!
And there is an awards ceremony today!
Yes, before today's game, there is an additional link before the opening ceremony, which is the award ceremony for the best defensive player!
To be honest, Ye Yingjie was used to getting the trophy, but it was the first time for a big girl to get on the sedan chair to get the trophy before the game, and it was a bit fresh.

Although it has been announced that he will retire after the end of the 2014 season, President Stern came to the scene to present the award to Ye Yingjie. After all, Ye Yingjie is now the face of the league!

In this era of economic downturn, if Ye Yingjie hadn't led the NBA upstream, Mr. Stern would have wanted to quit long ago!

"Congratulations!"

"Thank you!"

Looking at the smiling old man Stern, Ye Yingjie respectfully took the trophy from the old Jewish man.

Did he know that he had secretly received a lot of favors from this old man, although there were elements of using and pleasing him, but he did get benefits, didn't he!

Zhien Tubao, Ye Yingjie thinks this is what everyone should do!
