Chapter 813

For this part of the Lakers fans' YY, Richard is speechless, it can be seen that they still don't want to tear off the Lakers' weak cover cloth

Look at the lineup, the Lakers' lineup is really speechless. If all positions are at their peak, they are definitely super Galaxy warships.

But the losers of Huahui will be old. No one in the starting five team of the Lakers is still at the peak. Compared with the peak period, there is a different degree of decline.

Lakers fans are used to the power of the Lakers, so at the moment they are still lucky to think that the Lakers have a chance to make the first round of the playoffs.

Richard doesn't care about the fans. It won't be long before it turns out that the Lakers will never be a clipper opponent.

……

Now Richard's real headache is the Spurs.

At the end of the regular season, the Spurs suddenly slipped to the fourth place in the west, which Richard would not believe if there was no reason.

The biggest possibility is that Popovich feels that the Clippers are more difficult to deal with than the pioneers, so he actively gives up the third position in the west, so that they will not encounter the Clippers in the first and second rounds.

The only chance for the two teams to meet is in the Western Conference finals.

……

This is good news for Richard. At least he doesn't have to fight with Popovich in the Western semi-finals.

However, according to Richard's estimation, if they want to achieve a decent result this year, they must finally fight with the Spurs.

Despite the fact that the Blazers are better than the Spurs in the regular season, Richard felt that the Blazers might not be the Spurs' opponents.

……

On April 17, the first round of the playoffs officially began.

The Clippers didn't play on the first day. On the west side, the Spurs played warriors and the Blazers played rockets.

The difference between the warriors and the Spurs is not very big, but the gap between the two sides is immediately reflected as soon as they start to fight.

Shortly after the beginning of the fourth quarter, the warriors directly collapsed. Mark Jackson had a hand in teaching new players, but he was a little less interesting in on-the-spot coaching.

In the face of this kind of collapse, Mark Jackson is also powerless. He can only continue to die as the main force and gain a lot of life.

In the end, the Spurs beat the warriors by 113-92 at home, and won the first game in the playoffs.

The performance of the three new Spurs players in this game is inexplicable. Jimmy Butler's offensive end is not very prominent, but the defensive end is definitely DPOY level.

Middleton and kenbawalker are substitutes, but they both played for more than 20 minutes. They played a very good offensive efficiency, even better than the old devil Dao and old Parker.

……

Another group of Western playoffs match, the result makes the fans a little silly, the eighth Western rockets even beat the Blazers cold.

The Rockets are now in charge of James Harden is they bought in the hands of the pirates.

Jordan is really looking for no salary renewal on the bench of new people, simply to sell harden to the Rockets.

Sold by Jordan, harden is naturally quite upset. When he attends the launch conference of the Rockets, dialect will become the cornerstone player of the rockets and lead the rise of the Rockets

This word was taken as a joke by many fans directly, even the Rockets' own fans felt a little funny.

A substitute of other teams, just joined the Rockets, want to be the cornerstone? It's too much to say.

But this season, Hardon's performance, but directly let these jokes his people shut up, 25.3 points per game, just like the league's first-line scorer level.

Against the Blazers in this game, the reason why they can finally win narrowly depends on the explosive play of harden.

In addition to the amazing performance of 34 points in this game, harden also made three Fouls of the pioneer's inner line Poseidon needle Auden, which directly led to the departure of six fouls just over half of the fourth quarter of Auden's game.

It is because of Oden's position that the Rockets have more chances to hit the basket.

At present, the head coach of the Rockets is McHale, not later d'antony. This Rockets team is not as crazy as it was later to be obsessed with shooting three points.

The trailblazers lost, let alone the fans, even Richard didn't expect

But it's a good thing for the Blazers to lose, at least to cheer them up and pay attention to every opponent.

Judging from the overall strength of both sides, the Rockets are bound to be eliminated in the end. After all, black eight is not so easy to appear.

……

On the second day of the playoffs, it was the clipper Lakers game. Many Los Angeles fans were looking forward to it.

But the game just played less than three minutes, Kobe Bryant in a breakthrough process directly twisted to the ankle, then was supported by teammates walked back to the locker room.This situation is obviously not expected by anyone. The series has just begun. The Lakers' leader was injured?!

In fact, Kobe Bryant normally didn't catch the three minutes. He tore his Achilles tendon in the penultimate game at the end of the season, and didn't play this year's playoffs at all

It's because of Kobe Bryant's absence that the Lakers were swept out of the first round of the playoffs by the Spurs.

Howard in this series, in the face of old Duncan, really did not get a little cheaper, mainly because he was Popovich to target.

Howard has nine free throws per game, but he can only hit four

If it wasn't for Howard's bad free throw and Kobe Bryant's absence, the Spurs wouldn't have swept the Lakers so easily.

……

Now that Kobe is injured, Richard feels weird.

Although he is sure to kill the Lakers, he is not as sure as he is now.

Previously, Richard had 70% confidence in killing the Lakers. Now with Kobe's absence, Richard has 100% confidence.

……

A lot of Laker fans sighed on the sidelines. Although this is the home of clippers, the number of Laker fans on site is not less than that of clippers.

Kobe Bryant is injured. There is no suspense about the game.

……

When Kobe Bryant was on the court, he attracted a lot of defense from clippers because of his great containment.

And Kobe Bryant is not present, bread brother took the position of three break up Blake on the bench to replace Kobe Bryant, Blake naturally does not have Kobe's holding power, Thompson can arrange it easily.

In Bryant's next game, the two sides are playing back and forth, and then, the balance of victory obviously tilted toward the clipper.

This is not the deadliest. When the number of fouls on the clipper's side is exhausted, Richard directly gives Howard a long lost strategy of chopping sharks.

In fact, two years before O'Neal's retirement, with his free throw hit rate skyrocketing, shark chopping tactics have been rarely used.

This year Richard suddenly used it to make Howard cry. In the first quarter, he made six free throws and only hit two.

Mike Brown, with his swarthy face, could see a trace of pale

He knew that the series was over. In the absence of the devil like Richard and Kobe Bryant, it was really difficult for them to have a chance to compete with the Clippers.

It's not just the end of the series, but it's the end of his career with the Lakers.

……

"Doodle doodle!" The referee whistled the end of the game.

Howard sent 15 free throws in the game, only five of them were hit, which made many Lakers fans have the impulse to yell.

Can free throws be so bad? 33.3% of free throws? It's totally out of order.

It's not only to send players like Howard to the free throw line, but also to reduce Howard's chance to touch the ball.

Even Richard has to admit that Howard's destructive power under the basket is really some amazing, especially after grabbing the backboard to play a second attack, which is quite threatening.

Now because of the strategy of chopping sharks, Howard can't play at his best.

103-89, the Clippers won 14 points.

Judging from the scores of both sides, the pace of the game is really slow.

No way. This two tower system of the Lakers can't even think fast.

……

The day after the Clippers won the Lakers, the Spurs and blazers beat each other.

Nuggets also beat thunder in the first battle, winning with flying colors.

……

Kobe Bryant's injury has also been reported. At first, many fans felt that it was just a sprain, which should not be a big problem.

But the results are startling. Kobe Bryant's Achilles tendon is torn. It's not only that he can't play in this series, but also that he can play next season.

It may not be a big problem if it happens to some young players, but when it comes to Kobe Bryant, it will directly lead to the Achilles tendon tear, which has completely ruined the player's career.

What does a torn Achilles tendon mean? It's self-evident that fans know Kobe Bryant's career is coming to an end.

……

Richard led the clippers and didn't give the Lakers any chance to fight back. He swept the Lakers 4-0 at Staples arena to reach the Western Conference semi-finals.

But digs under the golden eye is also 3:1 big score, is close to the promotion.

Thunder is still too young. The combination of weishao and Lefu is not good, but they are not enough to see in front of the spicy George Carr. They have played four games in the series, and weishao has made an amazing 5.5 mistakes per game

It's amazing, but it's not surprising. At least Richard is not surprised at all. After all, weishao has made six mistakes in the playoffs.Three days later, Nuggets finally won the thunder at their own home, eliminated the thunder 4-1, and advanced to the Western semi-finals.

The Spurs have already swept the warriors, and the Blazers have also beaten the Rockets 4-1.

Since then, all four teams in the Western Conference semifinals have appeared.

At present, the situation is quite favorable for clippers.

The trailblazers, spurs and nuggets, the three teams, the fools also know that Nuggets must be the weakest. Now the clippers can meet this weakest opponent, which is a good thing.

In a word, Popovich won't be unaware of this, but because of the reason of training new players, the gap between regular season results and clippers and blazers is a little big, and there is no hope to catch up with these two teams, so Popovich retreated to the second place and chose a blazer that is easier to deal with in his opinion.

Richard has too many means. Popovich certainly doesn't want to meet Richard too early
