Chapter 131 The end of the regular season, opponents in the playoffs

Although the Trail Blazers were fighting at home in the fourth quarter, they had completely lost their fighting spirit. They were defeated by the Clippers, who were playing harder and harder, with a score of 108:94. Especially on the defensive end, they gave high hopes to the two small forwards. These two guys fought back and forth, allowing An Sheng to score 43 points and lead the team to victory in such a difficult away game. In this era when small forwards are popular, there is no forward defensive player who wants to make a difference in the playoffs. Almost impossible.

Carmelo Anthony who just moved to the Knicks, Paul Pierce of the Celtics, LeBron James of the Heat, Kevin Durant of this year's scoring champion Thunder, these small forwards are all if He can drop 30 points on your head if you're not paying attention, and it's going to be very hard for you to win the game.

The Clippers counterattacked to sixth, which is also the amplitude of the whole team. An Sheng even became the best player of the week by virtue of his performance this time. This is a great recognition for a rookie. This season is still the first A rookie player of the week.

After that, the Clippers' record has been rising steadily. Among the next few teams, there is no team that is expected to play in the playoffs. They hope that they can lose a few more games, and then they can get a better pick. Sign a super rookie.

With the victory of the last Clippers game against the Utah Jazz, the Clippers finally entered the playoffs in the Wild West, and the sixth position in the West also allowed them to avoid the Lakers, a deadly rival in the same city.

"Congratulations, you entered the playoffs." After the game, Gordon Hayward and Anson gave an extremely warm hug.

The Jazz has experienced many turmoil this season. The old coach of more than 20 years chose to leave because of disagreement with the core Deron Williams, but Deron Williams is not the winner of this farce , The boss of the Jazz did not keep Deron Williams because the old coach took the initiative to choose to leave, and traded him to the Nets after the All-Star break. playoffs.

However, this is a good thing for Anson's good brother Gordon Hayward. Rebuilding requires talented young players, and Gordon Hayward is undoubtedly such a player.

"You too, I hope that the next time I play against you, I can face you at the beginning of the game."

At this time in the studio in China, the most exciting thing is to explain Mr. Zhang Weiping. This basketball fan who accompanied Yao Ming and the TV almost before CCTV5 has gone through Yao Ming’s entire NBA career. Now, he has become another one in China. Witness to the legend.

"The Clippers! The Clippers have entered the playoffs, and there are still Chinese people on the stage of the playoffs." The voice of Zhang Weiping's guidance was very excited, "Ansheng's success proves that China can also have NBA star-level players. perimeter players."

This is really an exciting thing for the Chinese national team. I still remember that in the 08 Olympic Games, when the United States started to exert its strength, the Chinese team even had a defender who could stably lead the ball across the half. None, Anson averaged 19.4 points, 6.8 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 3.1 steals and 1.8 blocks per game this season. The data is perfect, although the scoring average did not exceed 20 points per game in the first season like Blake Griffin , But his 53% field goal percentage and 35% three-point field goal percentage have fully demonstrated his efficiency, and Anson also has a higher voice on the best rookie.

"The first round matchup is out. Our opponent is the Mavericks. I don't know why I was so happy when I saw the opponent is the Mavericks?" Soon, a discussion thread was created in the Clippers area. , The goal of the Clippers this season is far more than just the first round. Now that they have entered the playoffs, who wants to win the championship? Didn’t one of the champions of the Rockets who won two consecutive championships also counterattack and win the championship from the sixth position in the West? .

"Mavericks? Hey guys, all I can say is we have a chance against a regular-season team and Dirk's weak German big man is going to be at a loss in front of our defense."

"Of course, they have been the laughingstock of the league for the past few years. Since they were overturned by the Heat in the 06 finals, they have never broken through the first round. They were blacked out by the Warriors eighth and seventh by the Spurs. Wouldn't it be nice for them to try something new?"

The Clippers' forums are full of fun, and they don't even have the awareness that they are the team in the lower zone. It seems that the third team in the Western Conference is called the Los Angeles Clippers.

As for this issue, fans on both sides of the strait seem to have reached a high degree of agreement. No, there should be experts. Even in the predictions of the two media roundtables, TNT and ESPN, most people believe that the Clippers can complete the game. counterattack.

"It is impossible for a team relying on jump shots to win the championship, absolutely impossible." Charles Barkley has always sneered at the team that shoots more three-pointers. From the former Suns to the current Mavericks, in his heart, he has always been more Most of the emphasis is on defense. This is also a rare time for him to support the Clippers. Similarly, it is also a rare time to win the approval of most people.

"No, no, no, I don't agree with you. I think Dirk will become a big killer when facing the Clippers. He is unstoppable." Kenny Smith shook his head and disagreed.

Charles Barkley exploded as soon as he heard Dirk Nowitzki. These two historical power forwards belong to two completely different types. Each has won the regular season MVP and entered the finals. The same Witness one of the greatest Finals performances of all time, with Michael Jordan averaging 42 points and Dwyane Wade averaging 36 points.

Originally, it was reasonable that Charles Barkley would feel sorry for each other because of the same experience, but the different styles made Charles Barkley not think that Dirk Nowitzki was a player of the same level as him, and the words were completely different. Not optimistic about him: "Hey, let's put it this way, Dirk will be squeezed around by the Clippers' muscular sticks in the paint, well, at the same time, although I hate to admit it, the Clippers still have the world. The best help defender, Ann, I don't think he's going to score much."

Just when they were arguing, Chris Webber stood up: "Hey, guys, you two don't have to argue, don't forget, you will explain this game the day after tomorrow, and then, that one Naturally the game will give you guys to stop arguing that seems a little silly now."
