One Thousand Three Hundred and Thirty-Six. Yao Ming Retires

For the Mavericks, Conley had the best playoff performance of his career tonight, with 38 points, 9 assists and 3 steals, plus Yao Ming with 17 points and 9 rebounds, Nowitzki with 20 points and 6 rebounds, and Qian Qian with 8 points and 14 rebounds. Dele, fought to the end.

But with 44 seconds left, Kobe made a steal and counterattacked 2+1 to widen the point difference to more than 5 points, and the Lakers secured the victory.

7 of 14 shots, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, plus 7 free throws, Kobe scored 22 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 blocks and 4 steals. Jamison scored 20 points and 6 rebounds, Josh Smith With 17 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks, Paul's 11 points and 14 assists, and Leonard's 16 points and 6 rebounds, the Lakers defeated the Mavericks at home 113-106 and won the battle of Tianwang Mountain!

A very beautiful offensive battle. Sun Ce clearly saw that these two teams have much better technical and tactical qualities than most teams.

Especially the Mavericks. Although their role players are good offensively, their core lineup is much inferior to the Lakers. The decline of Yao Ming and Nowitzki is still obvious, but they still rely on teamwork to reach the end with the Lakers.

However, the Lakers also played very well. Kobe invested more on the defensive end and reduced his role on the offensive end. Instead, he took advantage of his threat of 33 points per game in the first four games, allowing role players such as Jamison and Leonard to have better opportunities. The Lakers team opened up scoring opportunities under Paul's offensive organization, and in the end, Kobe's key ball sealed the victory.

"We are going to meet the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals again? It's going to be difficult... Let's find a way to deal with the Spurs first. This team is even more difficult..."

…

…

The Lakers won the Battle of Tianwangshan and gained match point. The Spurs also found a way to deal with the current Warriors. In the subsequent games, Curry, who averaged 28.5 points per game in the first four games, was defended and missed 3 of 15 shots. In the game, they only scored 9 points. The Warriors only scored 4 three-pointers in the game and made 4 of 20 shots.

On the contrary, the Spurs made 10 of 21 three-pointers. The Spurs defeated the Warriors 109-90 and easily won the battle of Tianwang Mountain.

The gap in strength is quite obvious. Duncan scored 17 points and 10 rebounds on 5-of-5 shooting, Gay had 25 points, Parker had 13 points and 10 assists, Diaw had 6 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists...

The young and energetic Warriors were given a hard lesson by the Spurs this time.

In another series, the Cavaliers narrowly defeated the Eagles 113-110 to advance to the second round! Iguodala missed the game-tying three-pointer, and the Hawks were eliminated in the first round.

If the Lakers and Spurs win, they will most likely advance. Sun Ce is not surprised. He just feels sorry for Yao Ming. Before the start of the playoffs, Yao Ming has already said that he will retire after this season and has the remaining one-year contract. Divided into three years of payment, it can help the Mavericks reduce their salary by almost 15 million in the summer of 2013, a free market year when many star contracts expire, so that the Mavericks can make room to pursue superstars such as Anthony and Paul.

That is to say, the short-lived three-tower era of the Mavericks is about to pass.

But the Cavaliers actually made it to the second round... Of course, that was the Eastern Conference, and the Nuggets made it to the second round.

Look at the real Nuggets, trailing the Thunder 1-3...

…

It is basically certain that the opponent in the second round will be the Spurs. The Grizzlies have a clearer goal in preparing for the game, creating mid-range shooting opportunities!

Sun Ce, Randolph, and Nash are particularly important when they play against the Spurs in the second round. Paul George, Jimmy Butler, Gasol, and Yi Jianlian who can hit the mid-range shot are also very important. Klay Thompson It is a containment point, and Sun Ce, Paul George, and Battier must also act as containment points...

As Game 5 of each series begins, and as the Grizzlies enter the critical stage of preparing for the second round, some awards for this season's regular season are also being released.

The competition for best manager is between Heat general manager Pat Riley and Cavaliers general manager David Griffin.

Although sending Haslem away caused Pat Riley to be criticized by the fans, he brought back Nene, an accurate and complete player with athletic ability, excellent pick-and-roll, shooting, low-post skills, and the ability to protect the frame. star level player,

With the second-best record in history of 70 wins and 12 losses, Pat Riley beat David Griffin to win the best manager.

In terms of best coach, Nuggets coach George Karl has been running with him for three consecutive years and finally got his wish and won the best coach award this season.

On May 3, the regular season MVP was announced. There was no suspense. James won the regular season MVP with 109 first-place votes. If Sun Ce hadn't grabbed 6 first-place votes, James would have been elected unanimously.

Also announced on the same day was the Best Sixth Man. Perhaps due to his impending retirement, Yao Ming won the Best Sixth Man award with 53 first-place votes, beating Klay Thompson who received 49 first-place votes. .

On the night of May 3, Game 6 between the Lakers and the Mavericks began.

The Mavericks, who returned home, failed to reach the tiebreaker and lost to the Lakers 94-103 to bid farewell to the playoffs.

Yao Ming played very hard in the last game of his career. He made 8 of 17 shots, 8 of 8 free throws, and a three-pointer. He scored 25 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists. Conley also had 26 points and 7 assists. Dele had 13 points and 13 rebounds, but Nowitzki, who had been very strong in the previous few games, performed poorly tonight. He only scored 8 points on 4 of 11 shots, and neither a free throw nor a three-pointer.

Sun Ce watched the live broadcast of this game with Zu Goose, Lily Collins, and Yi Jianlian. They saw Yao Ming give up in the game, and seemed to accept everything calmly after losing. He hugged his opponents, teammates, referees, and officials at the technical desk...

This scene made Sun Ce and Yi Jianlian feel a lot.

As Chinese national team players, the three of them were called the Big Three in the international arena last year. Now, one of them is missing!

Yao Ming now has to prepare for the 2015 election of the chairman of the Basketball Association, and his body is indeed not enough to support such a high-intensity game.

Putting aside the sadness, things should be forward-looking. Yao Ming's athletic career has ended several times better than the original ending that Sun Ce knew. He even won the best sixth man. Sun Ce thinks that he should mourn for Klay for three seconds.

The live broadcast of the Lakers and Mavericks game ended, and Time Warner Cable Sports broadcast the sixth game between the Spurs and the Warriors.

Unexpectedly, the two teams played defense!

**Vic seemed to have predicted that the Warriors would play defense, and he also used a defensive style.

It must be said that Harden is not incapable of defense. In the original time and space, he was nicknamed Uchiha Harden, purely because he was forced to do so. In the Thunder, he was at least a good defender. In his first year with the Rockets, the offensive burden was all on him. He was not a physical freak like Westbrook, so he had to give up defense.
