Westbrook was blocked and did not attack with the ball, and the ball was transferred to Griffin's hand.

The Thunder are good at defensive counterattacks, so they have relatively fewer methods of positional battles. Basically, they only have two tricks, Westbrook swings, and after swings Griffin swings.

After Jeff Green's comeback, two tricks turned into three tricks.

This is more similar to the thunder in history.

Although Griffin's hand was short, his low-post offensive skills were actually pretty good. He beat Millsap and turned over and wiped it to the bottom of the basket.

However, just as he took action, Yao Ming assisted in defense at the basket in advance.

Griffin wanted to hide but his hands were short.

"Bang!"

Yao Ming gave Griffin another big hat!

This time the Staples Center was completely infuriated.

Yao Ming started the game and was directly hit by the king!

After Yao Ming collected another rebound, the Lakers advanced to the frontcourt.

Yao Ming played again at a low post, and this time Griffin assisted in defense from the weak side.

Yao Ming's reaction was also very fast, and he passed the ball to Millsap the corner.

Millsap made a three-pointer.

"when!"

Unfortunately, it's off-limits.

but!

Yao Ming grabbed the frontcourt rebound on Jordan's head, and then scored another point from close range!

This scene stunned Sun Hao.

Yao Ming’s thighs are a bit thick tonight!

As it turns out, Sun Hao's feeling is right. Yao Ming's condition in the first game of the playoffs can be described as hot.

In the whole game, Yao Ming played three quarters and had already scored a large double-double with 30 points and 15 rebounds!

Well, there are 4 blocks!

This performance directly made Sun Hao win.

Although the Thunders had a strong fighting spirit, they eventually lost in three quarters when they completely lost the inside.

The Lakers finally defeated the Thunder 106-86 to win their first playoff victory.

On social media after the game, fans were also caught in a carnival.

When Yao Ming won the All-Star MVP, Lakers fans were happy, but as time went by, doubts still appeared uncontrollably.

Some fans think that Yao Ming's data is completely flashed and has no reference value.

But now, the abnormal data such as 30+15 in three quarters in the first game of the playoffs can be considered as a good slap in the face.

To be able to do it on the All-Star Game stage!

The first game of the series was just a test in the playoffs, but the tone of this round of the series was decided in the first game.

In the regular season before, Howard Chandler put on pain masks one by one, but now, Jordan Jr. is "only enjoyed by one person".

Yao Ming was in the East before, and when he was in the Lakers, he had just returned from injury. Jordan Jr.'s feeling was not that strong.

Now he went straight to the playoffs and the entire series, and he felt what it means to be powerless and despair.

He even empathized with those centers who had been with the peak O'Neal's contemporaries across time and space.

The inside is lost, so Yao Ming can only be allowed to rage in the inside. The positional battle and defense success rate is terrible, which makes the Thunder unable to show its strengths.

This basically determines the fate of the Thunder.

Except for returning to home games, Westbrook exploded and knocking Knight out and the Thunder narrowly won a victory, the Thunder basically had no resistance in other games.

4-1, the expected fierce game did not happen in the end, and the Lakers finally defeated the Thunder and advanced to the Western Conference semi-finals.

What they have to wait for now is their opponent in the semifinals of the division.

At this time, several matches in the Western Conference also entered a white-hot stage.

Except for the Warriors, which had no suspense, the remaining two groups of games were all at Tianwang Mountain.

Led by the Mavericks, led by 33 points in a single game, won the Tianwang Mountain in the game against the Clippers.

On the other hand, the young player Leonard from the Spurs showed his defensive ability to entangle Rose, who was injured and Guy in his health. The Spurs also defeated the Grizzlies 91-81 to get the initiative in the series.

It seems that the Mavericks and the Spurs will have a greater chance of winning the series.

But after watching the entire series, you know that this is not the case.

These teams are extremely close in strength, and the outcome may be the most critical rounds.

This is likely to be a tiebreaker.

After the Lakers finished their series, they also turned their attention to the Spurs and the Grizzlies.

Harris organized the entire team to watch the G6 game between both sides.

I was bored before watching the game, and the two were also guessing the results of G6.

Yao Ming is more optimistic about the Grizzlies, and he is very good at Gasol, who speaks.

This feeling is a bit like O'Neal looked at Yao Ming.

Just like human life, some things feel that they will automatically get when they reach age.

However, in the era when the center forwards in the league is in decline, Gasol Jr. has comprehensive skills and can be regarded as a person who can pass on the center forward torch.

Sun Hao also felt that the Grizzlies had a great chance tonight, after all, they played at home.

But overall, he thinks the Spurs are more likely to win.

After all, he still knows Popovich very well. If he has the chance, he will never let the chance slip away.

This is not exactly the kind of compliment.

The game started soon, and the home game was a life-and-death battle. The Grizzlies played very high-intensity offensive and defensive quality at the beginning.

Especially Rose, various emergency stops and changes in directions made the Spurs helpless, and Popovich could only look at his face and expressions on the sidelines.

One detail that needs to be noted is that this Spurs team is basically the same as the Spurs in history, but there is a very critical top outside defender.

That's right, "Real" Danny Green.

Green was selected by the Warriors with Matthews. Matthews signed a fat contract with the Wizards because of the earlier contract, but Green is still with the Warriors!

Previously, Green had some differences with the Warriors because of the contract. It would be difficult for the Warriors to keep him after the contract ended this summer.

But at least the Warriors are still there now, and there is less person on the outside of the Spurs who can follow Rose.

What? Leonard had defended it before?

After all, Leonard is a forward, and his last game restriction is more due to the protection of the basket.

But Ross was in great shape tonight, and his mid-range shots from the outside were also consecutive shots.

And Yao Ming was also very happy to watch it because all the chances of Rose were from Gasol Jr.

Gasol Jr. has mid-range at the basket, pick-and-roll, and defense. His technical characteristics are very similar to Yao Ming.

After halftime, the Grizzlies led the Spurs 53-41.

The difference of 12 points is not big, but it is not small for both teams with excellent defensive abilities.

It seems that Yao Ming has better luck tonight. The Grizzlies and Spurs will win the tiebreak battle in this round of the series.

After returning from a 15-minute half-time break, at this time, Popovich was given a shot on the scene.

Under the camera, Popovich's face turned red. It seemed that the 15-minute break in the past was not very pleasant for the Spurs players.

However, when the second half of the game began, the discomfort helped the Spurs.

The Spurs' defensive intensity has been significantly enhanced, and the Grizzlies' scoring difficulty has become much more difficult.

Of course, after the Spurs put in a lot of physical strength on the defensive end, their own offensive performance also significantly declined.

As a result, the intensity of the confrontation on the field is increasing until...

Rose is injured.

Before deeply realizing that his style of playing hurts his knees, Ross' style of playing is extremely tense, highly ornamental, and very self-harmful.

When the defense intensity is relatively average, he doesn't need to do those exaggerated starts and stops, and the situation is better.

But when the team cannot get points, the desire to win makes Ross unable to control himself.

When the Spurs defend, they won't be able to lower their desire to win. Stephen Jackson knocked Ross over in a confrontation, and Ross couldn't get up with his knees.

When watching Ross being carried off by his teammates and the camera captured the scene where the corners of his eyes were red, Sun Hao was inexplicably touched.
