Chapter 553 Easy Lakers and Difficult Others

The game between the Cavaliers and the Pacers also created a lot of data that made it difficult to break through in other games. For example, Lao Zhan’s playing time was as high as 54 minutes. This playing time is simply exhausting, so Lao Zhan In this game, there were many occasions in which it was necessary to eat some tangerines and the like on the sidelines to replenish energy. Of course, this situation also appeared on Owen and Pickled Pepper. They even played today. 51-52 minutes. You must know that even in the regular season, few people can play a full 48 minutes in a game. The last time someone played a full 48 minutes in a game dates back to the Bulls in 2013 At that time, Tom Thibodeau, who was good at killing the main force, made Jimmy Butler play the entire game against the Spurs for the team's record. After the game, Jimmy Butler revealed that his leg In the fourth quarter, muscle cramps actually occurred, but in the end he just used the timeout to spray some medicine and persisted.

In this game, Lao Zhan and others also persisted until the second overtime and experienced cramps to varying degrees. Fortunately, they did not play the full regular time in one go. I still got a lot of rest time, so I was able to persevere in this ultra-long marathon battle.Of course, there are still some terrible records. In the playoffs, the two teams combined to score 261 points. This number should be unprecedented. Unique in playoff history.

In addition to Lao Zhan, Pickle also scored 51 points and 14 rebounds in this game, so this is also the first time in the history of the playoffs that two players scored 50 points in the same game. In the game, two people from the two teams were sent off, and as many as 6 people had 5 fouls. If there is another overtime game, it is estimated that no one from the two teams will be able to appear on the field.

However, for the league, this game is indeed a very good publicity point. Many fans in the United States feel that basketball is not as exciting as rugby, and this game can change this view a little.So the news that the Lakers had taken a 2-0 lead the next day was basically not found in the news, and the entire page was almost devoted to promoting the epic battle between the Pacers and Cavaliers.

When the attention of the whole people has turned to the east, the battle of focus in the west is also quietly going on. Compared with the anxiety of the previous game, the second game between the Pelicans and the Warriors is almost The difference is quite a lot. Except for the beginning of this game, the two teams have not had an alternate lead in points since then. The Warriors have completely exploded their full strength in this game, and they also have certain advantages in the home game. So from the first minute of the game, they have been leading their opponents until the end of the game, they still lead their opponents by 1 points. After winning this game at home, the Warriors finally breathed a sigh of relief, after all They were defeated by the opponent's lore in the first game, so due to the backward situation, if there is anything else in this game, then this series will become very difficult.

The Pelicans lost the second game, while the Raptors won again in the Celtics game. The point difference is still very small, and it is still a difficult confrontation. The two teams played again. In the last minute, but this time the Raptors are no longer showing off DeRozan, but another core of their backcourt-Lowry, Kyle Lowry only scored 1 points in this game, but in the end In one and a half minutes, he scored 21 points alone, successfully completed his personal redemption, and helped the Raptors beat the Celtics again in the away game.In fact, the main reason for the Celtics' loss in this game was Thomas Jr.'s hip injury, which caused him to be injured. In this way, the Celtics lost their main outside firepower in an instant. The ability has also dropped by one level.

The third game of the second round began soon. The Lakers visited San Antonio. After the difficulties of the last game, some changes have taken place in the mentality and other aspects of the Lakers generals. It has become a lot more serious, so although the Lakers still did not play very easily in this game, it cannot be described as difficult. They scored 63 points in the half and allowed only 49 points to their opponents. This is the Lakers. The performance in the first half, but in the second half, I don't know if it was because of Jefferson's injury or what happened. The Spurs directly replaced the main insider. As a result, the insider also began to be broken by the Lakers. In this game, the Lakers The team finally spent three and a half quarters to end the opponent. The last six minutes of the game turned into garbage time, and the Lakers also successfully won the match point.

From the point of view of the situation, after the Spurs lost the first game at home, it is estimated that most of their spirits were lost immediately, and no team in history has ever succeeded in a 0:3 comeback. It was a blow to their self-confidence. In fact, in the second game, the Lakers led by Ye Xuan still completed the comeback even though they were leading by more than half the game. They reported too much confidence, and the stability shown by the Lakers also surprised them, especially Ye Xuan. Even if the core players of other teams can play more than 37 minutes in each game, they will always In some games, the hand feeling is not good, and then after repeated missed shots, he is forced to choose to pass the ball, but Ye Xuan does not seem to be like this. He never worries about his hand feel, so he can always help himself first in every game After his teammates have found the feeling of offense, they use their personal abilities to continuously create troubles for the opponent's defense, and they can stand up and complete key shots at critical times. This kind of opponent is really too difficult.

But the fourth game was unexpectedly easy for the Lakers. Jefferson, who was replaced in the last game, was not replaced because of a tactical relationship, but because of a muscle strain. Although he only needs three to five days of rest to recover, this also made him miss the fourth matchup with the Lakers. Without Jefferson, this game should not be too much for Gasol. Happy, Gasol, who had 19 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists in the half, was completely liberated in this game. David Lee's defense was nothing to Gasol, and Gasol often turned his back Just passed David Lee cleanly, and Adelaide did not switch defenses with David Lee, because he was also struggling with the various breakthroughs of the Lakers and Randall's catch and shoot from time to time. .

So the Lakers finally defeated the Spurs very easily in San Antonio, and eliminated their opponents cleanly with a score of 4:0. This elimination has a big impact on the Spurs. The feeling of the opponent Wan Ke is believed to be uncomfortable for them, especially Aldridge. For Aldridge, he left the Trail Blazers and came to the Spurs just to become a strong contender for the championship, but looking at it now Speaking of it, the team still hasn't been able to make any substantial progress.

Unlike the Lakers who easily defeated the Spurs, the other three groups of games turned into difficult battles. Among them, the Raptors had already won two consecutive away games and forced the Celtics into But just like what the Celtics did in the first round, after losing two home games, they started to fight back. First, Horford scored 37 points and 12 goals in the third game. rebound, and directly hit Valanciunas, which directly broke the Raptors' inside defense. After winning the third game, the Celtics also found some game status. In the four games, the Celtics became more proficient, and the performances of Crowder and Avery Bradley also made the Raptors a little overwhelmed, so at their home court, the Raptors once again Lost the game, and in this game, it seems that the trash brothers were beaten back to their original form. In this game, the two combined for 42 shots, but only scored 39 points. Not to force, the combined data of 11 rebounds and 9 assists is not enough for them to beat the multi-point Celtics. After losing two home games in a row, they also lost the advantage they had so hard to gain before.

As for the remaining two groups of games, it was even more difficult. The Cavaliers and Pacers, the enemies, had a total of four overtime games in the first two games, and the third game was almost dragged into the game again. In the overtime game, the scores of the two teams rose staggeredly. In this game, the two teams took the lead alternately as many as 23 times. Paojiao obviously did his best in this game. After all, shortly after he entered the league, he has been compared with James, and was eliminated several times by James' team in the playoffs. It was not until Ye Xuan's arrival that he successfully eliminated Lao Zhan Out, and now that Ye Xuan is gone, he needs to prove himself again, to prove that he can defeat Lao Zhan.

So in this game, Pickled Pepper's performance was as good as ever. Unfortunately, the performance of the Cavaliers this time is also not bad, and this time not only James and Irving stood up, but the most important point is that their third giant Love today three The touch of the ball is very good, and the many attempts from the outside are basically hit. The 5 fatal three-pointers in the half also made the Pacers miserable. Coupled with the sudden awakening of TT today, the Pacers Lost a lot of backcourt rebounds at their home court, which made their defense even more difficult.

The Pacers are a little embarrassed. Although they rely on Pickled Pepper's super performance and have been biting the score, Iron Man also gets tired sometimes, and he already consumed a lot of energy in the last game. , so this caused him to be affected by his physical fitness in the final stage of the game. He scored 38 points in 47 minutes. In the end, the Raptors did not score a point due to various reasons in the last minute or so, and in the end they could only give the Cavaliers a precious victory at home.

However, just as the Cavaliers began to celebrate their success in regaining their home court advantage, the Pacers gave them a heavy blow in the fourth game, and Love's sight was no longer the same as in the third game. Sure enough, but Pickled Pepper is still so desperate, the performance of the Pacers has also improved compared to the previous game, Hood's 16 points are very critical for the Pacers, and Louis William Ms' various life extensions after coming off the bench also allowed the Pacers' core Paojiao to get a certain amount of rest time. In the fourth game, the Pacers finally scored 105:99 and won their first victory in this round of the series. A home victory not only successfully rewritten the big score to 2:2, but also made the Cavaliers feel the pressure.

On the west side, the Lakers have already defeated their opponents in the semifinals of the division after four games, but the game between the Pelicans and the Warriors is not so simple. After it became a one-to-one tie, the battlefield was transferred to New Orleans. What the Warriors didn't expect at all was that the Pelicans played very well in the third game, including playing in the second game. Anthony, who was struggling, the Big Four took turns to fire, which directly made the Warriors panic. In addition, Curry was still a little lost in this game. Although Durant took the banner of offense, Klay- Thompson's inaccuracy at this point made the Warriors lose the chance to comeback at the opponent's home court. In the third game of the semifinals, the Pelicans finally won at their home court, 114:102. This is also their matchup Among all the games, the score gap is the largest.

The fourth game after that was actually somewhat similar to the third game. The Big Four of the Pelicans still felt hot. Not only Holiday and Anthony had three-pointers, but Brother Nongmei and Kaoshen also hit more than one three-pointer. The difference in the last game is that they failed to contain the Warriors' traditional double guns in this game. Although Durant's offensive efficiency plummeted in tactics such as double-teaming, the Splash Brothers were able to do so in this game. The team broke out, and the two teamed up to make 13 three-pointers, which directly stunned the Pelicans. They defeated the Pelicans 104:98 at the opponent's home court and successfully rewritten the big score to a 2:2 tie. .
