Chapter 815

Another set of Western Conference semi-finals is in full swing. The Blazers became cautious after the Rockets took a victory in the first round.

The talent of the pioneers is very strong, and the cautious pioneers are very difficult to deal with.

The Spurs won 4-3.

Duncan in this round of series, even in the course of the match against Oden, did not lose the wind at all, which caused many fans to shout that this is an old monster

To say who is the number one center in the league now, someone may mention Yao Ming's name, but most fans will think of Oden first.

After joining the trailblazers, Oden's data has been released in an all-round way. Especially last season, Oden averaged 25.2 points, 13.8 rebounds and 2.9 blocks. I'm afraid that only O'Neill in the peak period can play similar data.

Even in this case, it's really amazing that old Duncan didn't fall down completely in the process of positioning Oden.

In addition to Duncan's unreasonable power, Jimmy Butler also played an important role in limiting Granger, the main attack point of the Blazers.

Because of Jimmy Butler's excellent defense, Granger only scored 18 points in the series.

Although it has been a lot, but compared with the real level of Granger, it naturally belongs to the abnormal play.

……

Jimmy Butler in Popovich's hands, as expected, has played an amazing energy, now has gradually become an important player in the league's front and back line.

The best small forward players that have emerged in the past two years are undoubtedly Leonard and Jimmy Butler.

In fact, the styles of the two men are similar. They start from defense, and the offensive end is not outstanding at the beginning

……

Richard is finally looking forward to the Western Conference finals with the Spurs.

It's true that the Clippers at the moment are definitely in harmony with the time, the place and the people. They have many advantages over the Spurs.

First, the result is better than the Spurs, the Clippers will have a home advantage.

Secondly, the Clippers swept their opponents in two rounds to advance, while the Spurs just finished a round of seven grabs, so the old men in their team are not so easy to rest.

Occupying these two advantages, many fans are optimistic that clippers can get tickets to the finals.

……

"Li, it's unbelievable that we should meet on the stage of the Western Conference finals so soon." Popovich in the warm-up session, smiled and said hello to Richard.

"Greg, do you believe that?" Richard laughed.

If Popovich didn't expect the two teams to play in the Western Conference, Richard would not believe it.

Popovich can't believe a punctuation mark.

……

"To be honest, Li, who do you think will win this round of western competition?" Popovich looked serious and asked Richard.

Richard waved. "I naturally hope we can win, but I think it's not that easy."

"But if I can tell the truth, I think your Spurs have a better chance."

"No reason, just a feeling." Said Richard with a smile.

Popovich laughed and didn't go on asking. In fact, he thought their Spurs had a better chance of winning.

……

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

The starters of both sides began to appear.

To the surprise of Richard and all the fans, Popovich came up with a starting lineup that they had never used before.

Duncan, Dior, Middleton, Jimmy Butler and kenbawalker, the French sports car Parker and the goblin knife Ginobili were put into the reserve line-up.

Richard has a bit of pain. Popovich's performance makes the depth and thickness of the Spurs' reserve team a little terrible.

Parker, Ginobili, wusheng, Danny green, mills

Such a reserve team can be regarded as a unique one in the league. I'm afraid that the former reserve team of Richard's pirate team can be more luxurious than this.

However, the strong reserve lineup, naturally also brought a little problem, just started the Spurs after the Trident performance is not particularly good.

After all, they are all new players, plus they haven't played in the first place. Now they play in the first place directly in the Western Conference, which makes everyone nervous.

In particular, kenbawalker did not play the effect Popovich wanted.

By the time the first half of the race was over, the Clippers had a five point lead.

Popovich in the face of the five points difference, it seems that they don't care, called a pause, replaced the fierce general on the bench.

Ginobili and Parker's appearance directly enlivened the Spurs' attack and curbed the Spurs' backward trend. With two minutes left in the first quarter, the two sides were still five points apart.The starting line-up of clippers, there are several players in the first quarter of the game has been playing for ten minutes, Richard naturally has to change.

But it doesn't matter. In just two minutes, the Spurs recovered the five points.

In the second quarter, Richard didn't dare to be careless. He could only let the starting lineup play as much as possible. There was no way. As long as the Clippers replaced the substitutes, the team would collapse immediately

Richard doesn't mean that he doesn't have any reliable substitutes at all, such as Big Ben, big monkey and little Thomas.

But little Thomas just put on the stage, immediately became the Spurs backcourt attack set fire!

Big Ben's performance is not very good. He's not as good as Duncan at present. He's totally abused by Duncan.

As for the macaque, it's good. Now Richard is the only one who can rely on as a substitute, that is, macaque.

……

"Doodle doodle!" Richard finally heard the referee's whistle at the end of the game.

This game may be Richard's most difficult game since he entered the league. He is looking forward to the end of the game all the time.

Although the Clippers won three points in the game, Richard was not happy at all because he was overdrawing the physical strength of the main players of the team.

The starting time of several starters is all over 40 minutes!

Maybe it's nothing to play two games for more than 40 minutes, but it's a seven game series. If you play like this, sooner or later you will have injury problems.

Although Richard has an injury scroll on hand, it can't be saved. It will take 24 hours for the players to recover.

Once the players get hurt in the first three minutes like Kobe Bryant, Richard's series is over.

It's no wonder Richard won the series against Spurs because he had no one to use and suffered injuries.

In the blink of an eye, the second game of the Western Conference finals starts. This time, the Clippers will suffer a lot. The whole show lasts more than 40 minutes, and the whole face is white.

In the second game, the Clippers kept their home court, but the situation has become quite serious.

In the end, the Clippers' unbeaten body in the playoffs this year was finally broken at the main stadium of holy city.

The Spurs narrowly beat the tired clippers by four points at home.

When the fourth game of the western conference kicks off, the first half of the game is not over. The main attack point of clippers, clay Thompson, is under the defense of emperor amadani green. He fell unsteadily and twisted his ankle when he shot.

Because of Thompson's absence, the G4, the Clippers directly defeated like a mountain.
