Chapter 729 [Family Kidnapping Incident in the Playoffs]

The Spurs returned to their home court. In the third game, the "GDP combination" showed off its power and took the lead for three quarters. In the last quarter, the Clippers strengthened their defense. The Spurs did not score a point in 4 minutes. The Clippers launched an 11-0 attack wave to overtake the score.

The Spurs still have the same old problem. They can't make shots from the outside corners and can't break the zone defense.

Without Danny Green, everything is different. Green can be a substitute for the Clippers. If he joins the Spurs, he will be the best choice to start in this playoffs.

Gary Neal is a marginal player on the Clippers and the third choice at the No. 1 position. He will also become an important rotation in the Spurs.

In the final quarter, Chandler faced off against Duncan, who was physically exhausted, but Shifo didn't score a single point.

Chandler is 216cm tall and weighs 110kg. He entered the NBA in 2001 and has played for eleven seasons. His physical fitness has hardly declined and he is still perfectly qualified for inside work. Maintaining weight is Chandler's secret. It has always been around 110 kilograms, which gives him excellent flexibility. He can resist inside players and will not be easily passed by outside players.

Duncan, who shot only 45% from the field and couldn't attract double teams, is not an invincible superstar. On the defensive end, Duncan relied on his old arms and legs to defend against pick-and-rolls. He was able to keep up in the first three quarters, but failed in the final quarter.

Duncan only plays an average of 30 minutes per game in the regular season. After this time, his efficiency will drop. Even if Duncan's efficiency drops, it is still better than other Spurs insiders.

The Spurs' defensive weakness is Scola, who scored 14 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. The statistics are not bad. In fact, as long as he is on the court, the Clippers' offense will be launched from his side, and there is no pressure to play small ball tactics.

Scola's movement speed is not fast, and his offense mainly relies on mid-range shots after pick-and-rolls, and he goes to the basket to attack. His swaying footsteps wastes time and the ball is not fast enough. Even if he moves away from the 4th position, he will attract Chandler's cooperation. Defend.

Parker did not lose against Paul and even had a slight advantage, which was a surprise for the Spurs. However, in the final quarter, Ginobili was guarded by Tony Allen and no one could provide him with firepower support.

103 to 98, the Clippers lead 3-0 with a total score.

In the fourth home game of the Spurs, they fell behind 18-38 in the first quarter.

Yang Rui sent Paul and Curry to play as double guards. Curry had a fit and shot 6 of 9 in the first quarter, 4 of 6 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 18 points and 2 assists.

In the second quarter, Yang Rui sent out a small lineup of Paul, Gary Neal, Danny Green, Parsons, and Faried, and defeated the Spurs 15-4. After 6 minutes, the point difference widened to 31 points. .

Green and Neal scored consecutive three-pointers. They were supposed to be important players of the Spurs, but they gave the Spurs a fatal blow.

Because Green was in excellent form, Yang Rui simply didn't let Paul play in the second half. Curry, Green, and Korver formed the outside line, and Griffin and Chandler were on the inside line.

This lineup can both attack and defend not bad. The guards will shoot three-pointers when they have the chance and the inside will fight for rebounds.

In order to win, the Spurs players can only bet on three points in the second half, but they lack pitchers and the defense will get worse with Budinger and Bonner. This Spurs were weaker than Yang Rui at the same time in his previous life, and they were swept away without much resistance.

126 to 89, the Clippers won the away game and took the lead in advancing to the Western Conference Finals.

Popovich yelled at the players during the game, asking everyone to play "dirtier". The second half was so explosive that Griffin and Bonner almost came to blows.

After the game, Popovich did not admit in an interview that he said something to make the players play dirty, even though his voice was loud and many spectators heard it.

Yang Rui did not express dissatisfaction with the fierce confrontations in the game. This is the playoffs. It is enough that the players are not injured. The Clippers defense also made many small and big moves.

Paul is the current point guard who makes the most tricks, but his foul rate ranks outside the top 20, which is also weird. ?

Another series in the Western Conference was a huge upset. After four games, the Thunder actually led the widely favored Lakers 3-1.

The Thunder had the home court advantage and won two games in a row to take the lead.

The Lakers lost by 20 points in the first game, and Byron Scott reused the combination of Love and Gasol.

He didn't let Gerald Wallace play much, and the result was a terrible pick-and-roll defense.

On the offensive end, the Lakers had a bigger problem. Gasol, the two core players, scored 10 points and 7 rebounds on 5-of-11 shooting, with a plus-minus of minus-29. Kobe Bryant scored 20 points on 7-of-18 shooting, with a plus-minus of minus-27.

In the second game, the Lakers' offense continued to be weak and they lost to the Thunder 75-77.

This time, the two big insiders Gasol made 6 of 11 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 14 points, 11 baskets and 3 assists; Love made 8 of 19 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 2 free throws, and scored 20 points and 12 rebounds. .

Only three players on the Lakers team scored in double figures. Kobe made 9 of 25 shots, 0 of 6 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 20 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Thunder also had only three players score in double figures, all except Durant. Durant made 9 of 15 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 22 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

Kobe was the key to the Thunder's victory. In the final moments of the final quarter, he made a pass error, made a mid-range shot, and made a three-pointer... The Thunder seized the opportunity and reversed the score.

After this game, some Chinese fans said that the Lakers' "F7" means "FUCK7".

In the second game, all Lakers substitute players took a total of 10 shots. Jeremy Lin, who was crazy in the regular season, played 24 minutes and made 1 of 3 shots. He only had 2 points, 3 rebounds and no assists.

The other two starters, Luol Deng took 7 shots and Nash took 5 shots, also followed suit on the court.

Back at home, the Lakers pulled back a game and defeated the Thunder 99-96.

Kobe produced magical statistics, making 9 of 25 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointers, 18 of 18 free throws, and scored 36 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists.

When many people saw that the referee was a bald man, they thought someone was trying to cause trouble in this game. Sure enough, the Lakers made 42 to 28 free throws and made 12 consecutive free throws in the last 3 minutes, killing the Thunder in one go.

This was the first time in Kobe's playoff career that he maintained a 100% free throw percentage while taking more than 18 free throws. It also broke the team record set by Lakers senior Gail Goodrich in 1972.

The Lakers won a thrilling victory, and the role players also blossomed. Five of Love, Gasol, Nash, Luol Deng, and Gerrard scored in double figures.

In the fourth game of the Lakers' home game, the Thunder changed their style of play, guarding Kobe alone and strictly guarding others, resolutely limiting the Lakers' three-pointers, and won 103-102 in the end, gaining match point.

In this game, Kobe once again shouldered the main offensive responsibility independently. The ball passed through his hands in almost every round. He made 12 of 28 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers, and 14 of 17 free throws. He scored 38 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists.

Nash made 4 of 8 three-pointers and scored 14 points and 6 assists. He hit a 3-pointer with 4 minutes and 33 seconds left in the fourth quarter to help the Lakers lead by 8 points.

Then came Kobe's performance moment. He made 1 of 7 shots in a row, 2 of 2 free throws and scored 4 points. This was all the Lakers scored in the rest of the game, and the Thunder reversed again.

Many die-hard Komi couldn't bear to watch this magical performance and directly switched to the Komi camp.

In the last few minutes, Kobe reached out for the ball as soon as the half was over, and the point guard used the "death stare" when he didn't give it. Then he relied on his excellent skills to dribble the ball to look for opportunities, making the other F6 completely spectators, and the score was ahead. Continuously strike out in any situation, and take decisive action even when faced with double-teams.

Barkley explained and analyzed: "He probably wants to add to his record of 40+ points in a playoff game."

If Kobe really thinks that, then this person is really terrible. If not, the score is ahead and his teammates have strong scoring ability, why doesn't he pass the ball when faced with a double team?

Could it be that... his child was kidnapped by Thunder people?
