The perfect life of basketball

Chapter 461 The semi-finals of 460 start, humiliate the stone Buddha!

As for the east, Ye Yingjie didn't pay attention, let them fight there.

When eating melons this year, Ye Yingjie also discovered a reform in the league.

Before each season, after the regular season and during the playoffs, the winners of major awards, the best team, and the NBA's best defensive team will be announced successively, and then a press conference and awards will be held separately for the winners of each individual award. .

But this year, Xiao Hua decided to reform, aiming to make the NBA awards ceremony a grand event.

First of all, the league decided not to announce the results of the awards one after another after the end of the regular season, but to keep the suspense until after the finals and announce them at the awards ceremony.Secondly, the awards ceremony will invite many players, coaches, executives, celebrities and well-known entertainers, and the stars will shine brightly.

Ye Yingjie thinks this is good, the players can concentrate more on the playoffs.

. . . . . .

Four days later, the opponents of Team Glory's semi-finals were officially announced.

The Clippers struggled for a season and rushed to third place in the Western Conference, but finally fell under the old Spurs.

In this game, the Clippers are only one goal away from the semifinals!
With 5.9 seconds left in the game, the Spurs led 107:106, and the Clippers still had a chance to attack. Paul dribbled the ball from the right side, broke through Danny Green's defense, and made a throw with his right foot!

Just when the basketball flew to the basket with the hopes of all the Clippers!
"Snapped!"

Gobert, who came from the weak side to help defend, directly fanned the rising basketball out of the court with a big cap!

And at this time the time on the timer just ran out!

Gobert raised his arms and roared to the sky!

All the Spurs players on the bench ran onto the field excitedly, jumped and shouted at Gobert, unable to restrain their inner excitement, and then burst out laughing and crying!
All this is really not easy!
For GDP, every year may be their last playoffs, and they are getting farther and farther away from the fascinating O'Brien Cup!

On the other hand, Paul, whose eyes were full of hope, showed endless disappointment.

Year after year, how long will it take for me to reach the Western Conference Finals. . .

"It's a pity that a series like this is only the first round."

Paul said after the game.

But no matter what, the Clippers' journey is over!
The Glory's old rival, the Spurs, will join the Glory in the Western Conference semifinals!

In the West, another group of divisional semifinals will be played between the Warriors and the Rockets.

The fiery Curry did not give the Grizzlies a chance in G5. In the third quarter, he scored 5 consecutive three-pointers and led the Warriors to widen the point difference!
Curry scored a game-high 35 points throughout the game, and James scored 18 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists!
But James didn't have any discomfort!

It feels good to lie down and win like this!

Hey, the Western Conference playoffs are nothing more than that!

The voices of those who say that I have been hiding in the east all these years should be much quieter!
Like the Warriors, the Rockets also settled the battle in five games!

Harden, fourth in the MVP rankings, also felt hot in this game, scoring 32 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists to lead the Rockets to win the game!
Howard also guarded the penalty area very well. Yi Jianlian's three-pointer and Capela's and Beverly's defenses are all impressive!

By the way, the performance of the substitute "Pie King" Capela is also very eye-catching, killing the Mavericks' weak penalty area very well!

It will also be a wonderful matchup between the hot Rockets and the Warriors!

. . . . . .

On May 5, the Western Conference Semifinals G2 match between the Glory and the Spurs officially kicked off at the Glory Center Arena!

In the Glory Center arena, the players and fans of the Glory team are all ready.

As for the Spurs, only two days have passed since Gobert blocked the Clippers!
At the press conference before the game, Mr. Popo joked: "I hope Stevens and his disciples can treat us old guys well. After all, we are almost old and have lost all our teeth."

Coach Stevens originally planned to play fast breaks in the first two games and drag down the Spurs, but when he heard the words of Mr. Bobo from the media, the young coach said very gentlemanly:

"The Spurs are respectable opponents. They are not old. We will not deliberately speed up the pace in this round of the series. It is also a good opportunity to learn positional warfare with the Spurs."

The young marshal's response was very tough, the old man wants us to treat them well, no problem!

Even in a positional battle, the young coach has the confidence to kill the Spurs!

In fact, after thinking about it, it may not be a bad thing to sharpen the positional warfare. Although the Glory team is not inferior to the Warriors in chaotic battles, it depends on the touch after all. The meaning of watching the sky is in it. Really good!

Although in the tactical style before the game, the media analyzed that the Spurs were restrained by the Glory team, although the Spurs were at an absolute disadvantage against the Glory team in the first game, although the statistics were also at a disadvantage compared to the Spurs, and no team was optimistic about the Spurs winning, but in case they won What?
With the end of the warm-up and opening ceremony, the list of starting players from both sides was displayed on the big screen!

Spurs: Parker, Danny Green, Leonard, Duncan and Gobert

Glory: Rose, Ye Yingjie, Antetokounmpo, Bai Mokai and Asik
Following Stoudemire's start in the first round of G1, Bai Mokai started the first game of this round.

Stoudemire will be overwhelmed on both offense and defense against Duncan. Bai Mokai can at least contribute his own strength on the defensive end, and at the same time increase confrontation and use close defense to consume Duncan's energy!It would be even better to be able to eat cakes on the offensive end.

Although Duncan's scoring has been decreasing year by year in the past two years, he is still the undoubted core of the Spurs' offense.

So against Duncan and the Spurs, the young coach's purpose in this game is to use Bai Mokai's blood and physical fitness to continuously attack Duncan.

As long as the "true core" of the Spurs is broken up, the Spurs will have nothing to fear!
In the first half, Bai Mokai continued to confront Duncan on the defensive end, and on the offensive end, under the guidance of Rose, Ye Yingjie, Antetokounmpo and Asik, he continued to attack the inside line!
In this game, the Glory fans watched the Glory team's smooth conduction ball and then realized: Ye Yingjie and Rose's passing have reached the level of masters, Antetokounmpo and Asik's passing are also at the top level of the league!
Watching them pass the ball is a kind of enjoyment!
Closer to home, although facing Duncan's defense, Bai Mokai encountered two big caps from "Stone Buddha", but he also contributed several wonderful dunks, and even completed a dunk on Duncan's head.

Although it's not good to humiliate seniors, Bai Mokai, who was on the stage, didn't think so much!
In addition, the frequent attacks on the inside also gave the Glory team an unexpected surprise!

In the first quarter, Duncan fouled twice after playing for 6 minutes, so he had a rest!

In the second quarter, Duncan played for 3 minutes and received his third foul of the game.

You must know that it was a critical period when Duncan led the Spurs to chase points in the second quarter!

After "Stone Buddha" fouled for the third time, Mr. Bobo immediately replaced him.

"Stone Buddha" didn't make much movement after the field, but put the towel directly on his head!

When his teammates are fighting hard on the battlefield, he is not there, this feeling makes him very uncomfortable!
