On April 16, the playoffs began.
The Bobcats' game was scheduled to the next day. The four games that started the first day were the other three sets of playoffs in the East, plus the Western Conference Spurs vs. Grizzlies' series.
Li Ke has no interest in the three groups of playoffs in the Eastern Conference.
However, in this round of the Spurs vs. Grizzlies, he really wanted to see if the Grizzlies without Tony could complete the Black Eight.
As a result, an uproar took place as scheduled.
In the 10-11 season, the Spurs were also a representative of crazy rotation and the whole nation. Without a scorer who averaged more than 20 points per game, they won 61 wins in the regular season, ranking first in the Western Conference and third in the league.
But this is the problem. No scorer averaged more than 20 points per game. The problem reflected is that they lack a superstar who can make a final decision at a critical moment.
Relying on the overall tactical style that is slightly ahead of the times, the Spurs advanced to the top in the Western Conference.
Compared with his previous life, the Grizzly Bear, who lacks Teacher Tony, is afraid of the kind of opponent with super giants.
In terms of overall situation, they are not a simplicity of the Spurs.
The inside combination of Mark Gasolzac Randolph is really solid.
Rudy Gay, who started on the outside, and O.J. Mayo, who was substituted, had more or less problems, but with Conley and Bathir, there was no big problem with the outside.
Simply put, the focus of this playoffs between the Spurs vs. the Grizzlies is on the inside.
If Mr. Deng can withstand Xiao Jia and Lan Pang alone, the Spurs will not have a big problem.
If you can't stand it, the Spurs will be covered by the Black Eight.
Mr. Deng couldn't stand the g1 in the playoffs. Lan Pang had 25 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, and Xiao Jiao had 24 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks.
The Spurs lost this game because of this, and the playoffs opened...
Charlotte, looking at the Spurs losing the game, turned dark.
"FK, the Spurs are so unbeatable? Even the Grizzlies can lose?"
Li Ke was giggling: "What's wrong with this? Haven't we lost to the Grizzlies?"
"That's because you're not here!"
Old Qiao retorted loudly, but Li Ke still shook his head.
"We really may not be able to withstand the twin towers of Marc Gasol Gazak Randolph."
The Grizzlies have double towers inside, and there are powerful point guards like Conley on the outside, as well as the unpredictable scorer Guy.
Who would have thought that this Grizzlies are only eighth in the West and will make it into the playoffs?
After all, the overall strength of the West is still too much stronger than that of the East.
...
In the first game of the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Bulls easily crushed the Hawks with a millstone-like defense; the Cavaliers of the Big Three also easily defeated the Knicks with the Big Three's performance; the Celtics fought a game with the Magic, but the old and stronger Celtics were even better.
The first day of the playoffs came to an end, and the next day, the Bobcats made their debut.
It's another year of playoffs. Although the opponents of the 76ers in the first round are not worth worrying, the Time Warner Center, which can accommodate 19,026 people, is still full.
The main reason is that Charlotte in the small ball market is getting hotter and has excellent results year by year.
David Stern really wants to see the rise of the small ball market. Charlotte's rise is naturally due to the league's support.
In short, when the playoffs started, Charlotte had already transformed into the City of the Bobcats.
The 76ers are indeed not worth worrying. Although they have Andre Iguodala who can withstand Li Ke, the Bobcats are no longer the Bobcats of the past two seasons.
Li Ke was closely guarded, and they also had Curry. Even though Curry was in an average state, they also had Captain Jack and Jamison, as well as a group of bench bandits including Wesley Matthews.
Simply put, when playing against a second-rate team like the 76ers, the Bobcats still hold their hands.
G1 started playing quickly. Although the opponent was not threatened, Rivers still made targeted adjustments.
He put Jamison on the bench and then used Tucker to play the starting lineup, holding up the 76ers' inside core one-on-one, and the number one scorer Elton Brand.
On the outside, Li Ke replaced Zhu Holiday, and basically limited the 76ers' offense to the wing.
Iguodala is a bit like a baseball player on the front line. She is not very enthusiastic about scoring independently. She only fired for four consecutive seasons after Ai walked away from the Denver Plateau, and the highest season averaged only 19.9 points per game.
By this season, Doug Collins became the 76ers coach and changed to the fight against the whole nation. The number one brother was the main player of the donkey.
The second-place starter Jody Meeks is a three-point shooter, and the accuracy of the three-pointers is quite considerable, but Doug Collins was stunned for the 76ers attack.
After more than half a quarter of the game, the Bobcats took a 7-point lead with a defensive target with a score of 16-9.
Doug Collins' reaction was not slow, and he immediately stopped, dispatched troops and replaced the sixth man, Louis Williams.
Lloyd, who entered the league with high school students, gradually emerged after spending two seasons of growth.
By this season, he was the best sixth man in the 76ers for four consecutive seasons.
As soon as he appeared, he did cause some trouble for the Bobcats.
But as Rivers became more flexible, he waved his hand and replaced Curry and changed into his junior brother.
Sacrifice part of the offensive firepower in exchange for defensive suppression.
Finally, at the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats beat 76ers 27 to 20.
By the end of the half, the score was 55 to 42, and the Bobcats further widened the gap in the score.
At the end of the third quarter, 80 to 63, the victory of this game was basically locked.
In the playoffs, especially in the first two rounds of the playoffs, the time between games was still very wide, and Rivers no longer rotated.
He followed the rules and finished the first five minutes of the last quarter with the main force to ensure that the game would not be reversed again, so he replaced the substitutes at the end of the bench.
After the remaining 7 minutes of the bench, the Bobcats won the first game after the game.
In this extremely relaxed game, Li Ke didn't make much effort, but he also scored 24 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.
And this difficult game, the only feeling or reminder that Li Ke is -
Considering Captain Jack's age, injury risks and off-field troubles, if the Bobcats need to change the starting third position or the core of the organization next season, Andre Iguodala on the opposite side is a good choice.
The Sixers also have reasons to trade the No. 1 player. In the 10-year draft, they used the second pick to choose Evan Turner, who was very similar in all aspects. In the rookie season, Turner was pressed on the bench for a whole season.
The 27-year-old No. 1 person will not make any progress. However, Evan Turner, 22-year-old, looks like he has a "bright future".
Even in order to give Turner more room to play, the number one brother is at the age of leaving the 76ers.
so……
“得找老乔提一嘴了.”
Even if the Bobcats win this season, changes in the offseason are inevitable.
Because next season, Li Ke's new contract will be fulfilled, and Jordan and Lao Du will also have to renew their contract.
Li Ke has a maximum salary of more than 16 million US dollars, and Jordan and Du Lao together may also have more than 10 million US dollars.
Under such a situation, Jamison, Captain Jack, and Xiao Mo are all likely to leave.
After all, the current bobcats have no plans to pay luxury taxes...
In the game that day, Brother Cannon scored 33 points, 7 rebounds, 14 assists and 4 steals, and his god-level performance led the Hornets to defeat the Lakers in an upset manner.
The big train Aldridge competed against the King of No, but the Trail Blazers lost to the Mavericks by 7 points.
And, although there was no big lead from beginning to end, the Thunder easily defeated the Nuggets by suppressing from beginning to end.
In this way, the eight groups of playoffs in the East and West have already finished the first game of the series.
What is really a surprise is the only one who loses the Grizzlies and the Lakers loses the Hornets.
The first two in the west have been defeated one after another, once again proving that the west is strong and the east is weak.
Starting from the G2 game in the eight-group series, eight playoff games were divided into three groups and one round was completed in three days.
The Bobcats were still on the second day. On the first day, Li Ke continued to sit with Lao Qiao and watched the G2 battle between the Spurs and the Grizzlies.
g2, the change made by Popovich is that Manu returns to the starting lineup and strengthens the starting lineup's attack power.
But what really made the Spurs win was Xiao Jia and Lan Pang's performance was malfunctioning.
The score of 93 to 87, the score difference of 6 points is extremely dangerous, but no matter what, the Spurs won a goal.
"The Spurs won a game back, but the situation is still not optimistic."
Old Qiao was frowning. As the management team, he didn't have that good vision, but he could see that although the Spurs won this game, they didn't get the point.
"If Mark Gasol and Zach Randolph perform more normally, the Spurs will definitely not win this game."
隔天,山猫和76人的g2战上演了.
As a win, Rivers felt that he didn't need to make any changes.
As the losing side, Doug Collins knew that change was futile, but he still made changes.
He asked Brand to play the center and mentioned Sadies Young to the starter.
The purpose of this action is to replace the weak main center Spencer Hawys.
Brand played the center at 2.03 meters, and the 76ers' defense has only slightly improved.
The Bobcats, the No. 1 in the offensive league in the regular season, once again defeated the 76ers without any suspense, and the series went 2-0.
After the g2 game, the Lakers and Spurs, who were upset in the first round, each scored a goal, and the Celtics and the Magic tied 1-1. The remaining side that had the upper hand won the 2-0 series score.
紧接着就是系列赛的g3轮——
Spurs vs. Grizzlies, Lao Qiao and Li Ke sat together again.
There was no change in this game. On the Spurs, Manu continued to replace George Hill to start.
But Lan Pang and Xiao Jia recovered, one scored 25 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, and the other scored 17 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block.
The Spurs' inside line was beaten again, but in this game, they relied on Manu's explosion.
At the last moment of the final quarter, Lan Pang scored a three-pointer to secure the victory.
In this way, the Grizzlies led 2-1.
After watching the game, Lao Qiao touched his chin and pondered, and then suddenly said: "Or what I should transfer to you the 20,000 US dollars as a bet first?"
Li Ke smiled and said, "Yes."
"Can?"
Old Qiao raised his tone, "Are you so confident?"
"It's not confidence, it's me who believe in the grizzly bear..."
Indeed, when the series hits G3, the hardness of the Grizzlies is beyond doubt. The double towers of Xiao Jia and Lan Pang are a mountain that lies in front of the Spurs.
In this gradually smaller league, the Grizzlies' double towers seem a bit unconventional.
But it is precisely this unconventional that has played many teams hard to deal with.
Take the Bobcat as an example. Jordan Jordan may be able to withstand Xiao Jia, but Lan Pang is the point that the Bobcat cannot handle.
In today's league, not only are centers scarce, but excellent power forwards are also very few.
Otherwise, why are there so many No. 3 players playing in No. 4?
In the Boncats' G3 battle, Doug Collins replaced Spencer Hawyth again.
The end of the game still remains unchanged, and the Bobcats continued to win the third victory of the series with a clear advantage.
...
One day later, Li Ke, who had received $20,000, no longer sat with Lao Qiao. He asked a physiotherapist to do physical health care for the playoffs.
Then, I received a call from Lao Qiao—
"It's over, the Spurs are completely finished!"
The Spurs are finished, with a score of 86 to 104, and they lost a full 18 points in the g4 game.
But Lan Pang only scored 11 points and 9 rebounds, while Xiao Jia only scored 9 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks.
The Spurs' outside defense suddenly collapsed...
Li Ke said that this was expected.
Since Bruce Bowen retired, the Spurs have been missing a defensive gate on the outside.
For this reason, the Spurs made a big move to get Richard Jefferson. As a result, the former Nets All-Star dropped sharply as soon as he arrived at the Spurs.
r.c. Buford's operational ability is more like a blow-up, and Richard Jefferson is everything he can do.
So, in the past two seasons, Popovich had to bite the bullet and continue using Richard Jefferson until...
In the 11th draft, the Spurs used the draft picks exchanged by George Hill to choose Kawhi Leonard.
Now, there is no Bowen and no Leonard, an outside trio composed of Tony Parker, Manu and Richard Jefferson. He persisted until G4 before being beaten up. It is already the "kindness" of Guy and Mayo.
The next day, the BBQ vs. 76ers' G4 game was still based on defense and suppressed the whole game. The Bobcats won the fourth victory of the series with great steadily.
In this way, they swept 76 people with a total score of 4 to 0.
The Eastern Conference semi-final opponent, the winner of the Celtics vs Magic, is far from the time to decide.
...
The follow-up of the Spurs vs. Grizzlies—
g5, the Spurs returned to home and scored a hard time back, and the victory in this game came from the outbreak of Manu who scored 33 points and Tony Parker who scored 24 points.
But G6, Lan Pang scored 33 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, while Xiao Jia scored 12 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks.
The two towers exerted their strength, with a total score of 4 to 2, and the Grizzlies completed the Black Eight Miracle...
Chapter completed!
