I’m Really Playing Basketball

In the first round of the Western Conference, after being defeated by the Blazers in two consecutive cities, the Warriors made a big wave in the NBA.

Fans don't think the same as Popovich. Popovich can see at a glance that the Warriors are training.

But fans felt that the Warriors were dying.

Warriors fans, in particular, have great opinions on head coach Kerr.

Letting Chen Xiao, such a useful boss as a super-giant, frantically use Jokic, a rookie, as the team's offensive core, and let Klay and Bill, Nongmei and Chen Xiao revolve around Jokic. Abandoned martial arts?

Losing two games in a row is proof.

Then, the entire NBA Warriors fans feel distressed for Chen Xiao. He is already 33 years old. Chen Laohan will meet such a pustular head coach at the end of his career.

At the post-match press conference in G4, Kerr was also harassed and criticized by the media reporters. However, both Chen Xiao and other players of the Warriors were defending Kerr.

On April 28th, the Warriors and the Blazers fought again in G5 Tianwang Mountain. The controversial coach of the Warriors in this game, Kerr, still did not change back to the team's original tactics, which made Popovich who has been paying attention to this game. Chi was surprised.

"Warriors don't kill themselves, do they?"

To be honest, Popovich felt that after two games, he should stop practicing and start serious.

Of course he knows that if he can win a game, his confidence in the players being drilled will be greatly improved. However, this is the NBA playoffs, and the teams and players who can enter the NBA playoffs should not be underestimated. , Whether it was once the Bulls or his Spurs, will restore the strongest play.

But on the Warriors side, Kerr is still insisting on playing with Jokic as the core.

When the halftime ended and the Warriors at home trailed by 11 points, 52-63, Popovich was excited in front of the TV.

This season, the Spurs have four of the strongest opponents in the entire league.

One in the West, the Warriors.

Eastern three, Cavaliers, Bucks and Bobcats.

Regardless of the Eastern Conference, only one team will appear in front of the Spurs after their three teams are dog-eaten.

But the West, the Warriors, this is the opponent that must appear in front of them.

Therefore, the Warriors are undoubtedly the biggest opponent of the Spurs this season.

But from now, it seems that the Warriors really may kill themselves.

And what excites Popovich even more is that, trailing by 11 points at halftime, the Warriors should change their playstyle.

However, in the third quarter, they still insisted on Jokic as the core. After the three quarters, the Warriors lost 27 to 36 and once again lost 9 points in a single quarter.

In this quarter, Jokic's organizational effect was very good, but Lillard, who was on the opposite side, scored 21 points in a single quarter, which was the best single quarter performance of the playoffs.

After three quarters, the Warriors were already behind by 20 points. At this time, it seemed that even God was on the Trail Blazers' side, and wanted to push the dying Warriors to a dead end.

So much so that many Warriors fans on the scene made huge boos when the camera was aimed at Kerr at this time.

No way, this is the playoffs, the most critical G5, you TM actually play like this.

This game is really going to lose, Cole apologizes!

To be honest, in the face of such pressure, the average head coach couldn't sit still for a long time, but Kerr actually did sit still.

Although Kerr was under great pressure at this time, in the fourth quarter, he still persevered and kept Jokic on the court from the beginning.

This season, Jokic's regular-season playing time is 21 minutes per game. Kerr has allowed him to adapt to the NBA rhythm while protecting his physical fitness. It can be said that now Jokic is in the playoffs. the best of times.

Usually in such a situation, Chen Xiao would definitely take the score in the fourth quarter, and he had to play the entire fourth quarter.

This time, Kerr chose Jokic, which still gives Jokic great trust.

While this moved Jokic very much, he also calmed down. I have to say that the overall strength of the Warriors is still above the Blazers.

Even with the exception of Jokic, the Warriors' four current players on the field, Ibaka, Ding Yanyuhang, Livingston, and Dragic are all-rotation players, but the team's firepower has actually suppressed the development. the main force of the person.

The Trail Blazers had a 20-point lead before the start of the fourth quarter, and it was clear that the Blazers had to finish the game in one battle.

After this game, there is time to rest, but this game, no matter how hard or tired, must be won.

You can't say it's a bad decision by the Blazers, because many people will have such a choice.

You can also choose to rotate on the bench at this time, and the main force rests.

However, the Blazers' rotation lineup is not enough and not confident enough. In this case, they will naturally prefer the main force to continue to play.

And that gave the Warriors a chance.

After Jokic was able to suppress the main force of the Blazers who played the entire second half with a rotating lineup.

Chen Xiao and the main force came back, and the pair of pioneers were chopping melons and vegetables.

With a 20-point difference, he was quickly caught up.

There were 10 seconds left in the regular time game. At this time, the score between the two sides was 115 to 118. After Kerr arranged the lore tactics, Chen Xiao was strictly guarded by the Blazers players and did not allow the ball to be caught.

Klay decisively came out to catch the ball and took responsibility for the final attack.

Shoot the iron!

But because the Blazers players are all rushing to Chen Xiao, the Warriors have a huge rebounding advantage, especially Jokic, the tallest big man on the court.

The Blazers lead by three points, they must guard against three points, put two points, and all the last ones can be thrown.

In the end, the iron ball thrown by Klay was grabbed by Jokic and the offensive rebound.

In the face of the Blazers defense line who madly retracted to protect the rebound, Jokic, who grabbed the offensive rebound, threw the basketball in his hand to the back of his head very calmly and confidently, and quickly passed it without looking at it.

He knew very well that as long as he hesitated a little, the Blazers who had withdrawn to protect the rebound would rush towards Chen Xiao again.

He had no chance to hesitate.

Moreover, he does not know the exact location of Chen Xiao now.

He could only know which area Chen Xiao was probably in by feeling.

Such a pass is extremely difficult!

However, Chen Xiao from beyond the three-point line got it!

In this ball, Jokic's passing is difficult, and Chen Xiao's catching is equally difficult.

However, thanks to his long hands, this reflects the importance of the peerless talent.

Facing Batum's hard defense, Chen Xiao made a decisive shot.

For Chen Xiao, this kind of defense is the last struggle, and it hardly interferes with him!

With a swipe, a three-pointer hit!

118 to 118!

Perfect, overtime!

The moment when Wang Xiao pressed the whistle.

In fact, the most regret is not the Blazers players.

The Blazers' players were stunned at this time.

The 20-point lead was eventually reversed.

The real regret is Popovich in front of the TV.

Such a good opportunity, the pioneers did not grasp it!

An angry Popovich can't wait to smash the TV.

The advantage of 20 points in regular time was finally caught up. In overtime, although the Trail Blazers did not collapse, most of the Trail Blazers' main players have played the second half, and almost all of them have been weak in overtime.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Blazers 133 to 129 in this extremely tough game.

In this game, Chen Xiao scored 15 of 34, 8 of 22 three-pointers, and 7 of 8 free throws. He scored the highest 45 points in the game, in addition to 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

In this game, Jokic, who served as the core of the team's tactics, was 8 of 16, 1 of 2 from three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 20 points, 17 rebounds and 9 assists.

In addition to Chen Xiao and Jokic, the Warriors have 5 players who scored in double figures, and 7 players in the team scored in double figures.

On the other side, on the Blazers side, Lillard scored 29 points, Darius Miles 26 points, Batum 20 points, and 6 players on the team scored in double figures.

Both teams played very well in this game.

If it is only in terms of efficiency, Chen Xiao in this game is actually a bit iron, and his hand feel is not very good.

According to Chen Xiao's feel in this game, if Chen Xiao is let go, the Warriors may not really be able to win against the Blazers who are in excellent form in this game.

However, in this game, the Warriors played a pass, cut and run strategy with Jokic as the core. Every time Chen Xiao made a shot, the defense he faced was not so great.

Speaking of the ball that was tied at the last minute of the fourth quarter, Jokic's pass was very good.

Although Jokic does not provide direct assists every time, his many ball transfers and indirect transfers can indeed reduce the defensive pressure on Chen Xiao.

It's easy for the Warriors to beat the Blazers, and Kerr can even find 100 ways.

However, the Warriors aren't a team just to beat the Blazers.

The Warriors' goal is championships.

To win the championship, the Warriors need to beat the Spurs, need to beat the Cavaliers or the Bucks and Bobcats.

The Spurs have Leonard, the Cavaliers have James, Danny Green, the Bucks have Iguodala, Giannis, and the Bobcats have Jimmy Butler and other players.

These teams are very good defensively on the flanks and up front.

If the Warriors rely too much on Chen Xiao, it may be useful most of the time, but a small part of the time needs to be considered.

At the very least, both Kerr and Chen Xiao felt that it was no problem to kill the Blazers by himself, but it was impossible to kill teams like the Spurs, Cavaliers, Bucks, and Bobcats.

Therefore, even if the Warriors have Chen Xiao, they cannot fight Chen Xiao alone, and the other four will watch.

Even the Cavaliers understand the truth. James handed over the ball to Conley and focused on the end.

How could the warriors not understand this truth?

Jokic is Conley next to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao does not need to do anything to drive his teammates. Chen Xiao concentrates on the end. In this game, Chen Xiao shot 34 times, but no one thinks that the rest of the Warriors depend on Chen Xiao.

No one felt that Chen Xiao's high shot hindered the performance of the rest of the Warriors.

Because the ball rights are all allocated by Jokic. Whoever has the best chance, whoever has more chances, will make more shots, which is fair.

Of course, this is a regular time. If the game really comes to an unconventional time, it will definitely depend on Chen Xiao's personal ability.

On April 30, G6 between the Warriors and the Blazers. In this game, the Warriors are still playing with Jokic as the tactical core, and others are attacking around Jokic.

In this game, the Warriors played very strongly on the road. After the first half, they led 67-54 by 13 points. In the first half, the Warriors scored 67% of their three-pointers and the team provided assists. The number reached an astonishing 20. Among the 10 players in the team who played in the first half, 9 of them had assists. This is very scary.

Almost everyone has an offense, and everyone is involved in the offense, and because of this level of participation in the game, the Warriors' players are in very good shape.

In the end, the Warriors on the road defeated the Blazers 129 to 108.

In this game, the Warriors team sent out 40 assists in the whole game, which is also the team record of the Warriors.

In this game, it can be said that Kerr saw the basketball he wanted to see most, the basketball in his dream where everyone participated in the offense, and that was it.

In this game, Jokic played a perfect game.

But in this game, Jokic, as the player with the most assists by the Warriors, only had only 8 attacks.

However, the role of Jokic on the court is often not reflected in the statistics of assists.

In this battle, Chen Xiao made 14 of 22, 7 of 10 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored a game-high 41 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists.

Clay was 10-of-19 with 25 points.

Beal was 9 of 14 and scored 20 points.

Thick eyebrows were 6 of 13 and scored 15 points.

Jokic himself was 3 of 5, 8 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists. The data is actually not that good.

"This series, the Warriors, has grown again!"

"These young people..."

Popovich's face is solemn, the Warriors, this team is still making continuous progress, there is no doubt that the current Warriors are even more difficult to deal with.

At the end of the first round of the playoffs, eight qualified teams were also produced.

On the other side of the East, the top three in the East, the Cavaliers, the Bucks, and the Bobcats advanced smoothly. In this training match between the Bulls and the Celtics, the Bulls led by Wade finally defeated the Celtics 4-3 and defeated the Celtics in fifth. Fourth, advance to the next round.

In the West, there were also unpopular ones. In addition to the smooth promotion of the top three Spurs, Warriors and Clippers, the other promotion was the Lakers who defeated the fourth Jazz.

In this training game, the boss averaged 32 points with a 53% shooting rate, which was extremely efficient.

Under the leadership of such an efficient Ke boss, the Lakers finally defeated the Jazz 4-2.

By the way, because the boss is so efficient and attracts a lot of defensive attention, the Gasol brothers also averaged 40 points per game in this training game. The three leading players of the Lakers played almost perfectly in this training game.

It can only be said that in the face of such a high-spirited Laker, the Jazz did not lose unjustly.

After the first round of the playoffs, the NBA's regular season awards were also presented.

Rookie of the Year, Jokic defeated Wiggins and won the Rookie of the Year. In addition, Jokic also won the sixth man of the year. This season, Jokic played 21 minutes per game. Averaged 10 points, 7 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1 steal and 1 block per game, shooting 53% and PER exceeding 23.

No matter the record, basic data or advanced data, as a rookie who only played 21 minutes per game, Jokic's performance is perfect.

And this year's Defensive Player of the Year went to Oden of the Cavaliers.

Oden, Chen Xiao, James, Luo Ge and Xiaopao were selected for the All-Defensive Team.

The most improved player was the Blazers' CJ McCollum.

Finally, and the most important regular season MVP award, in the end, LeBron James, the head player of the Cavaliers, defeated Chen Xiao and Ron Howard to win this award. This is also the second time that James has won the regular season MVP in his career.

As the youngest regular season MVP in NBA history, the last time he won the award was less than 20 years old, and now, he is over 30 years old.

11 years have passed. Last time he was tied with Chen Xiao and Wade, but this time, he stood on the podium alone.

This is very interesting. Chen Xiao, Wade and James, the three MVPs who were tied for the time being, have all proved themselves, and they have all won the second solo MVP of their careers, and they have all proved themselves.

Needless to say, Chen Xiao, Wade and James have two MVPs in their careers.

By the way, in this regular season MVP vote, the three people's votes are still pretty close.

The first James got 35.44% of the votes, while Chen Xiao and Luo Ge were 27.69% and 26.74% respectively.

As many experts have said, Xiao Zhan wins this season in the East, his opponents are stronger, he has more opportunities to talk to each other, and his performance is also good.

Of course, Xiao Zhan's data is also slightly better.

Therefore, in terms of awards, although all three of them can win awards, Xiao Zhan does have a better chance.

In addition, Auden, Xiao Zhan, Chen Xiao, Luo Ge, and Ross were selected for a while.

It is worth mentioning that this is also the 12th consecutive season that Chen Xiao has achieved a first-team defense, the 13th first-team defense and 12 first-team defenses in his career.

Similarly, this is also the tenth time in Roger's career, and the number of first-round defenses in Roger's career is also in double figures.

For a while, all the first defenses were in double figures, and there were only two players in NBA history, Chen Xiao and Luo Ge.

This record is still legendary.
