One Thousand Nine Hundred and Twenty-Six. The League Really Has No Center Anymore

But what happened with the Thunder team has nothing to do with Sun Ce.

It was unexpectedly easy, which was a good thing for Sun Ce, as he could have more time to prepare for the Western Conference Finals.

On May 10, Sun Ce got up early as usual, did morning exercises and practiced shooting, then went back to the bedroom to take a shower. He rested this morning and continued to practice in the afternoon.

After defeating the Thunder 4-1 last night and advancing, Sun Ce received a system prompt.

"The King of Divisional Finals (BUFF) is triggered.

Buff effect: The host's team has great confidence and a positive attitude towards challenges;

Suppression effect: Whenever the host helps the team reach the divisional finals, no matter how strong the opponent team's regular season and playoffs performance is, the host will be psychologically affected. The strength of the effect depends on the psychological quality of the opponent's star player. It may have no effect, or the opponent's mentality may explode.

If the host has the experience of defeating the star player of the current opponent team in the playoffs, the effect will be improved (still depending on the opponent's psychological quality)."

Looking at this system prompt, Sun Ce feels that playing against the Warriors...may have more advantages in this regard, because they have never lost to the Warriors in the playoffs, and they played against the Spurs 2 to 1, and Sun Ce prefers to play against the Wave combination.

But this is Duncan's last playoff game...

Currently, the Warriors and the Spurs are tied 3-2. After the Warriors lost a home advantage, they lost a game on the road. The night before yesterday, they regained the home advantage. Then the Warriors returned to their home court and won the decisive game. Next, they will go to the Spurs' home court to play the sixth game.

"It seems that no matter who we play against, it doesn't matter. The one who can advance to the Western Conference Finals must be stronger. Just play against the strongest opponent..."

Sun Ce is very open-minded.

In the two series in the East, the Raptors are behind 2-3. Next, the Raptors will go to the Celtics' home court to play the sixth game. The Raptors, who lost the decisive game at home, seem to be in trouble.

As for the Bulls, they beat the 76ers 4-1 steadily. Almost every game was very intense. However, the Bulls are much more stable this season than before and did not give Evans a chance to turn the tables.

I played Crash Bandicoot with Little Gohan, Zugoose, and Lily Collins for the whole morning. At noon, the best lineup and the best defensive lineup were announced.

In terms of the best lineup, the first team is composed of Rose, Curry, Sun Ce, James, Griffin, and Jordan, of which James and Griffin are evenly divided.

The second team is composed of Westbrook, Harden, Paul George, Durant, Draymond Green, and Cousins, of which Paul George and Draymond Green are evenly divided.

The third team is composed of Evans, Paul, Klay Thompson, Jimmy Butler, Leonard, Aldridge, and Thabeet. Paul, Klay Thompson, and Jimmy Butler all scored very low, only 59 points, and were selected for the third team with the same score.

In terms of the best defensive lineup, the first defense is composed of Sun Ce, Avery Bradley, Leonard, Draymond Green, and Thabeet.

The second defense is composed of Paul, Tony Allen, Paul George, Danny Green, and Whiteside.

As expected, Sun Ce was selected to the All-NBA First Team for two consecutive years, but there are still many things that Sun Ce complained about in the All-NBA First Team and the All-Defensive First Team.

Last year's "equal re-vote system" was suddenly cancelled this year. According to Sun Ce's analysis, it may be that the god-making movement needs more "supporting roles", so the system of equal selection to the All-NBA First Team has been restored.

This is not important. What is important is that Westbrook, Harden, and Durant, three outside players, were selected to the Second Team together... This means that if these three brothers play together, they will be the strongest trio, not even one!

Unsurprisingly, the Thunder management will be rotated again...

The Warriors and their Grizzlies both have 4 players selected to the All-NBA First Team. In terms of defense, their Grizzlies are the biggest winners, with three players selected to the All-Defensive First Team. However, the Warriors have double-one defense, but the gold content of this double-one defense is... Jordan averaged 14 points, 13.8 rebounds, and 2 blocks per game, surpassing Cousins ​​and Thabeet to be selected to the First Team... Thabeet was actually selected to the First Team in the 3rd Team and the First Team! This reminded Sun Ce of Noah and Jordan, who were called the most watery double-one team in the original time and space.

There is really no one left at the center position!

In addition, Sun is regarded as a forward on the offensive end and a guard on the defensive end... In order not to affect the players who "should enter the first team and the first defense" to enter the first team and the first defense, the league took the initiative to turn a blind eye...

Sun Ce saw that some media on the Internet were discussing whether to cancel the center position and only divide the player positions into the frontcourt and the backcourt like the All-Stars.

...

In the afternoon, Sun Ce practiced shooting in his own training ground for an afternoon. In the evening, after dinner, Sun Ce waited in front of the TV to watch the sixth game between the Warriors and the Spurs.

Just half an hour ago when they were having dinner at home, the series between the Raptors and the Celtics ended in the East. The Celtics defeated the Raptors 122-107 at home. Relying on Thomas's performance of averaging 26 points, 9 assists and 2 steals per game, the Celtics eliminated the Raptors with a big score of 4-2 and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals!

Just like the fans did not expect the Thunder to collapse due to internal strife, no one thought that the Raptors could not even beat Thomas!

Lowry, Carroll, and Gasol could not carry DeRozan even if they tried their best... He averaged 20.5 points per game with 21.5 shots per game, a 38% shooting percentage, and DeRozan's defense ranked 170th among the 176 players who played in the playoffs.

A more intuitive data, when DeRozan was on the court, the Raptors lost 117 points per 100 rounds, lagging behind 98.8% of the players who played in the playoffs. Only two people played worse than him, one was Kyle Singler of the Thunder and the other was Morris of the Suns. The former is Billy Donovan's biological son, and the latter does not want to play for the Suns.

At 8:30 in the evening, the sixth game between the Warriors and the Spurs started.

In the first five games, the Warriors had a certain advantage, but the Spurs did not have no chance to turn the tables.

In the previous few games, the Spurs were able to fight the Warriors on equal terms, based on the outstanding performance of Rondo, Gay, Ginobili, Parker, Danny Green, Dio, etc., and Duncan played the best playoff performance in the past two years.

However, Duncan's average of 19 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists and 2.8 blocks in the previous few games seemed to have drained the fuel in Duncan's tank. Tonight, Duncan's defensive state plummeted. He played for 34 minutes, had only 5 rebounds and 1 block, and only 7 of 12 shots to get 19 points, which was acceptable.

Even though Rondo grabbed 14 rebounds and Gay had 9 rebounds, it still couldn't make up for Duncan's decline!
