Chapter 411 Advancing to the Western Conference finals, the grand prize is announced
The second and seventh games are much simpler. The Thunder have already led the Spurs 3:1. If there is no accident, the Thunder will send the Spurs home for fishing. The Spurs are going through a painful period this season.
Of course, the Spurs are now leading by three games. Except for the lineup accident, the biggest reason is that the Thunder team has always restrained the Spurs. In the previous life, the Thunder and the Spurs played in the Western Conference Finals several times. In the most recent 15-16 season, the Spurs won 67 regular season games, and finally fell to the Thunder. The explosive power of the Thunder's athletic talent has always been the Spurs' nemesis!
The playoffs in the Eastern Conference are also extremely fierce. The Eagles and the Nets scored 2:2. From this, it can be seen that the Eagles are the No. 8 in the East.
The Cavaliers swept the Celtics easily, but the Cavaliers fans were not happy because their Love was injured and Olynik broke his arm. As in the previous life, Olynik directly broke Love's arm and took it off!
After the game, the Cavaliers fans yelled at the Celtics, especially Olynik himself. In the hearts of Cavaliers fans, especially the local Cleveland Cavaliers fans, this year is a very promising year. Their city has formed the strongest lineup since they were founded.
Seeing that the Cavaliers injured the core, the fans of other teams became emotional. This may be an opportunity to break James' dominance of the Eastern Conference, but Presti knew that James would still rush out of the Eastern Conference. In his previous life, James still rushed out of the Eastern Conference when he hurt Love and Irving!And also fought 6 games with the Warriors.
The game between the Raptors and the Wizards was basically the same as in the previous life. The Wizards easily swept the Raptors 4:0. In the previous life, DeRozan and Lowry, the two "garbage brothers" were swept by the Wizards together. Now there is no suspense for one less person.
5月2日西部的系列赛全部结束了，灰熊最终连拿两局以4:2淘汰了开拓者，在这后两场的比赛中，兰多夫场均砍下了18分9篮板，小加索尔场均砍下21分7篮板，而作为控场核心的康利则是可以砍下15分6助攻1抢断的优秀数据！
The Trail Blazers had Aldridge, and all the others were Lahi. Lillard scored 18 points, but he took 20 shots and shot less than 40%.
After the game, Aldridge left the court angrily. Presti knew that Aldridge was going to leave the Blazers for the Spurs like in his previous life!In his previous life, Aldridge went to the Spurs to hold the thigh and win the championship, but he became the thigh himself. It is really not easy to help the old Spurs reach the playoffs again and again.
The game between the Thunder and the Spurs was also over. In the fifth game, the Spurs' inside line was directly blasted by the Thunder. It was the same loss as in the 15-16 season in the previous life. They couldn't grab rebounds and had too many second-attack opportunities.
On the other side, the Clippers have also advanced. This time they entered the second round and will challenge the Thunder. Presti can only feel sorry for Paul. It seems that this season's Western Conference finals still cannot be made.
The Eagles in the East finally won two consecutive games and advanced to the next round. Their next opponent will be the Wizards.
The second round of the Pelicans will be held on May 5, but everyone will know the result without watching it. The Grizzlies will definitely not be the opponents of the Pelicans!
During the few days of rest, Presti also took the team to train. Although the Grizzlies are not a threat to the Pelicans, it is best for an opponent like the Grizzlies to defeat them all at once. The Grizzlies' strength is not very strong, but their toughness is definitely the top in the league.
In the previous life, the Grizzlies relied on this kind of toughness to kill the Thunder in the playoffs and reached the Western Conference Finals. They also relied on toughness to win the Black Seven Spurs, and even more so, they defeated the Warriors in succession in the regular season!
Therefore, Presti's requirement for the players is to play fast, and the storm will come up, and the Grizzlies will not be given a chance!
In the second round, the Clippers easily swept the Warriors, averaging a margin of 17.5 points per game, and the core players all played within 30 minutes.
On May 5, the second round of the playoffs begins at the New Orleans Pelicans!
Grizzlies starters: Mike Conley, Tony Allen, Courtney Lee, Gasol Jr., Randolph
Pelicans starting lineup: Curry, Thompson, Paul George, Green, Davis
At the beginning of the game, the Pelicans players followed Presti's request and attacked crazily!
Curry and Davis pick and roll in the middle, and Randolph can only switch out. Curry changes direction in front of Randolph, suddenly stops and retreats, Randolph's center has been thrown away, and he can only reach out for symbolic interference.
Here Conley led the frontcourt and handed it over to Gasol Jr. Gasol leaned on Green with his back, hard to chisel, but Green stood still and didn't move!When Gasol played Green in his previous life, he was not easy to play, and he couldn't stand the low post. In the end, the Grizzlies could only rely on Randolph to round Green!
Little Gasol turned around, twisted his body to throw, his body had lost his balance, and he missed!Davis took the rebound and gave it to Curry, and Curry accelerated to the frontcourt!Tony Allen followed Curry relentlessly. To say that he can limit Curry, Tony Allen is one of them, but the current Allen is no longer the former Allen. Now Allen has been unable to keep up with his pace due to his age.
Curry went to the frontcourt because Allen was close, and then divided to Paul George who followed up on the right. Paul George then gave it to Thompson in the bottom corner. Thompson took the ball and threw it!Still keep going!
The Grizzlies are still in the magic position, and this time it will be handed over to Randolph, but Randolph is not so easy to fight against Davis. He desperately squeezes Davis away and wants to open a drop shot, but Green comes to help defend from behind, and the big hat slaps him!
The Grizzlies' twin towers have no problem against other teams, but they are not good against the Pelicans. Conley catches the ball from the outside and misses under Curry's interference. !
The game played for a few minutes, and the Grizzlies couldn't hold it anymore. Are the Grizzlies' twin towers strong? Of course they are strong, but it is still very difficult to face the barrier formed by Green and Davis, and when the black bears and white bears are in singles, Paul George will also interfere from the side, which makes the twin towers completely unable to exert their power.
The Pelicans continue to attack based on the weakness of the Grizzlies. Whether it is Randolph or Gasol, they can only defend out.
If the two of them don't come out, it will be even worse!Davis' open mid-range shot is equal to sending points, and the same is true for Curry's drop shot. Tony Allen can only choose to squeeze through the screen when facing Curry's pick-and-roll. He dare not go around. Curry's three-pointer is even more deadly!
The Pelicans still easily lead by double digits in the first quarter!
After the second quarter, the Grizzlies let Randolph play with a substitute, and Presti still replaced with 5 substitutes. The Grizzlies fans thought that the Black Bears could kill the Quartet, but they were very aggrieved when they faced the long-armed Gobert and Antetokounmpo who could help defend at any time under the basket!
Originally, it was difficult enough for Randolph to fight Gorbe one by one, but now he managed to shake the pick basket and was slapped by the big hat of Antetokounmpo who was assisting the defense. The Grizzlies' scoring stagnated again, but the Pelicans were booming.
Antetokounmpo can even attack in the low post. Once Randolph helps defend, Gobert is free again at halftime, and the Grizzlies collapsed!
Although the Grizzlies still did not give up in the second half, the point difference was too large to catch up at all. In the end, the Pelicans easily defeated the Grizzlies 118:92!
In the second game, the Grizzlies separated Randolph and Gasol. Randolph was placed on the bench, and Koufos was the starter. Needless to say, he knew that Randolph would bring firepower to the bench!
But the result was that the Grizzlies were blown up again at halftime, and Randolph didn't bring many points to the Grizzlies with the backup.
In the third game, the Grizzlies changed again, Randolph returned to the starting lineup, and Gasol Jr. came to the bench. Needless to say, it was still a big defeat!
In the last game, the Grizzlies returned to the original lineup, but this time Conley was replaced in advance and asked him to bring the substitute. This time it really worked. Conley pulled out Gobert to change directions and hit a throw!
But this only hit a few goals, because Antetokounmpo’s help defense made Conley no longer so easy. If the Grizzlies’ shooting is excellent, Antetokounmpo would not dare to defend like this, but Nick Calathes made 25.6% of three-pointers and Jeff Green 30.5%.
In the end, the Grizzlies fell into the hands of the Pelicans again. The Pelicans swept the Grizzlies 4:0 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals!
It was impossible for the Grizzlies to win from the very beginning, even if the Black Bears and White Bears were dominant. Their pick-and-roll defense was too poor. Gasol Jr. and Zach Randolph couldn't defend near the penalty area.
But obviously the Pelicans' projection was too stable, and the Grizzlies were just thrown to death!This time, people realized more deeply that the best attribute of a center forward in the future does not seem to be a meat shield, but mobility!
The NBA regular season awards have finally been announced.
The best rookie was not considered Wiggins, averaging 16.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.
Wiggins’ talent is unquestionable. From a physical point of view, he is indeed at a historical level. It is no exaggeration to say that he is comparable to James. Presti remembers that Wiggins had a 720-degree dunk in his previous life. Although he didn’t close it, it was very shocking!
The most improved player was acquired by Jimmy Butler in the forest. Since he left the Pelicans and came to the Timberwolves, he can be said to be the absolute core. Now he can average 20 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. It is shocking that the Pelicans' average 12.3 points per game has increased to 20 points in one year.
The best sixth man is Jamal Crawford of the Clippers, averaging 16.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game!
In fact, many fans think that this award should be given to Antetokounmpo, because although Antetokounmpo's data is almost the same, it is more efficient!As for the Thunder's James Harden, it is because the number of starts is 12 more than the number of substitutes!Otherwise, this award belongs to him.
The best defensive player was won by Kawhi Leonard. Although the Spurs were swept out this season, Leonard's defense in the game was impressive, especially in the regular season. It can be said that without Leonard's perimeter defense, the Spurs' ranking would be even worse!
Defensive lineup: Chris Paul, Tony Allen, Draymond Green, Kawhi Leonard, Jordan Jr.
The All-Defensive Team of this season is no different from his previous life. In fact, in Presti’s view, the reason Allen is in the first team is purely because the Grizzlies conceded too few points. In fact, the Grizzlies conceded too few points not because of how good their defense was, but because he played too many positions, and the rhythm reduced the number of rounds.
Second Team: Mike Conley, Jimmy Butler, Paul George, Tim Duncan, Gobert.
The regular season MVP was still given to Stephen Curry. There is no way that the Pelicans won the best record in history. This award must be given to the Pelicans, and the Pelicans are undoubtedly Curry!
最终库里场均打33.2分钟，砍下27分51篮板7.6助攻1.6抢断，投篮命中率48.8%，三分命中率42.6%，罚球命中率89.6%。
Curry has been recognized as the league's No. [-] point guard. Paul's fans were still a little unconvinced before, but when Curry won an MVP trophy again, they could only shut up. Although Paul has multiple assists, Curry's one MVP is overwhelming, let alone more than one Curry!
The best lineup: Curry, Westbrook, Durant, James, Anthony Davis.
Anthony Davis played so well this season, averaging 21.2 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 2.3 blocks per game!Thick eyebrows are once again called the number one center forward in the future!
Second team: Paul, Harden, Paul George, Paul Gasol, Aldridge.
Third team: Thompson, Irving, Jimmy Butler, Griffin, Duncan
Thompson was selected to the All-NBA team for the first time, which made many fans sigh. They never thought that a shooter with no future in the draft could average 20.1 points per game, shoot 47% from the field, and shoot 43.8% from the three-point range.
