Chapter 881 [The east is useless, fight the Thunder again]
At the press conference, Wang Jun praised Duncan and expressed his optimism about the Spurs' future.
"The Spurs trio is still very strong. They have potential young players Danny Green and Coy Leonard, and they have room for improvement. They will be stronger in the future. Duncan played very well in this series. I can't believe that a veteran will play such a game. He is the top five super insider in the league."
The reporter asked: "Where do you think the king wins?"
"Impact and defense. We have both motivation, tenacity, and rich playoff experience."
Adelman praised Bathir for being a key player. Although he averaged only 7 points per game, he had to play 33 minutes per game, only 61 shots, averaged 18 three-pointers, and shot a 38% shooting percentage.
He is not a good opportunity and will never take action. He almost always takes action outside the three-point line. He does not move the bottom corner on the offensive end and tries his best to the defensive end.
Who doesn’t like this kind of player? Just because he and Martin start, they don’t make much effort, and a basketball can score.
There were not many controversial punishments in the game, and the King's advancement was not questioned, and there were several games where they were big wins.
Other series have been decided one after another.
In the Eastern Conference, the Nets defeated the Bucks without Ross 4-1.
The Bucks have already saved some face if they can win a game. The biggest problem with Ross' absence is not the offense, but the defense. Udri, who is substitute, is too far away.
Except for Paul and Randolph, the Nets have average strength, and they have become the biggest dark horse this season.
As soon as Paul joined, he led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals, and his popularity soared and conquered the fans. No matter what the result of this season, the Nets will have a lot of promise in the future.
The Heat eliminated the Pacers 4-2.
Hibert was selected as an All-Star this year, favored by many experts, and praised by the media, saying that he is a new generation of super center.
As a result, against Bogut, Hibert was defended and averaged 86 points, 53 rebounds and 11 assists per game, and he couldn't enter the penalty area at all, with a shooting percentage of only 45%.
In the worst third game, Hibert failed to grab a rebound or assist, and only scored 8 points. Chinese fans gave him a new nickname called "Gao Yuanyuan".
Hibert is already 26 years old, and it is unrealistic to have yy he has huge room for improvement like a handsome guy.
Although the Heat have entered the Eastern Conference Finals, their strength has not improved compared to last season. Even if they reach the finals, it will be difficult to defeat the Western Conference team.
As long as you lose, the disintegration of the "Big Three" is a foregone conclusion. Bogut is likely to be the first to be sent away. He can only defend now and his offense is getting worse and worse.
The Thunder defeated the Grizzlies 4-3 and fought the most intensely.
Relying on home court advantage, the Thunder were suspected of passing the score, including Westbrook's fifth game with a life-saving final shot.
If it weren't for the extraordinary performance of Victoria and Aldridge, the Thunder might have ended in 6 games.
The Grizzlies' defensive method has remained unchanged, with the joint defense blocking the penalty area and protecting the rebound. Tony Allen stung Durant on the outside, and Conley stared at Westbrook.
Both of them have super strong defense capabilities, and Tony Allen made Durant lose four consecutive games.
He will use his body to snatch the ball in front of his opponent. After receiving the ball, he will hold Durant down the ball, affecting the shooting, and rarely have dirty moves, a real defensive master.
Durant's real shooting percentage reached 61% during the regular season, ranking ninth in the league. This year's playoff number fell to only 493%, and his shooting percentage in the first four games was only 388%. His performance in the fourth game was only 5 of 21 shots. If it weren't for the many free throws, he would be even more miserable.
Tony Allen's defense made Durant, who had just won the regular season MVP, very embarrassed.
In an interview with ESPN, Durant even admitted that Allen's defense has become his own heart disease.
"I'm worried now when a guy comes out from behind to try to cover my hat, I have to stay focused around the basket and keep my shots focused. I can't think about everything on the court, worry too much, I have to let my instinct dominate the game."
Fortunately, Durant adjusted his mentality in the last game, made several key shots, led the team to eliminate his opponents, and his shooting percentage increased to more than 40%. However, his overall data was reduced from an astonishing 33 points in the first round to an average of 275 points per game.
Tony Allen is even more famous. Many teams regretted why they didn't find him back then. They joined the Grizzlies for 10 million in three years. It's too cheaper than what he did.
The Kings took two extra days to rest, the players recovered their strength, the coaching staff also had more time to study their opponents, and they also watched the tiebreak battle together.
Thunder's strengths are as obvious as their weaknesses.
The player is young and motivated, has super attack power, and has the same weaknesses as last season. He has few tactics and relies too much on the stars' personal abilities. Except for the third young master of the Thunder, almost no one else takes action.
The fourth-ranked player in the team, Ibaka, who started, averaged only 74 shots per game in the regular season. With such shots, he averaged 91 points and 75 rebounds per game.
The Thunder also has a weakness that is head coach Scott Brooks.
Experts do not think Brooks owes the Thunder a championship, but he has exposed too many flaws in the regular season, making people wonder if he is the information of a champion coach.
You don’t have to watch the game or read the news and comments to know that the coach is not good. If the Thunder wins, it is the third young master who performs his courage, and if the Thunder loses, it is the third young master who is too strong... No one mentions Brooks, his presence is weak, and many fans even don’t know him.
In the Western Conference Finals, there are five All-Stars on both sides, as well as former All-Stars like Ray Allen, and Ibaka, the blocking king, which has attracted much attention.
As for what the Eastern Heat and the Nets play together, not many fans care about it. Many people think that the Western Conference Finals is the strongest duel. No matter who wins in the Eastern Conference, it is good to be with the prince and not be swept away.
Before the game, Wang Jun seemed extremely relaxed. He and his friends went to watch a riding basketball game, and also took a short video and posted it on the seduction tube.
This sport is a combination of rugby, basketball and equestrian sports, combining ornamentality, confrontationality and competitiveness, and originated in France in the 1970s.
An equestrian coach who has been engaged in rugby created this kind of horse basketball by combining the rules of basketball and rugby. Since then, horse basketball has spread throughout Europe from France and is now very popular in many European countries. Every year, there are major international competitions such as the European Cup, the American Cup, the League Cup, the World Cup, and some people in China also play it.
Although it is an unpopular sport, Wang Jun likes it very much, so he was invited to attend the kickoff ceremony.
As a local celebrity, he attracted applause from the audience as soon as he appeared, and bursts of laughter.
The funny thing is that he can't ride a horse at all, so he chose a very small long-haired horse, and his legs were almost on the ground when he rode. He shot very accurately and made three consecutive hits in the first time he played.
After the video was posted, it attracted many people to leave messages.
"If Wang Jun rides this horse and wins in the competition, his opponent will be crazy."
"No matter how famous he is, he is always funny."
"What a poor pony, isn't this animal cruelty?"
No matter what, Wang Jun's mood was relaxed. He felt that it would be okay to do some funny things occasionally. He was too pretentious when he was serious all day long.
That night, Wang Jun flew with the team to the away game to prepare for the first battle against the Thunder.
