All four groups of the Eastern and Western Conference Semifinals have been confirmed, and the competition will begin in two days.

The Celtics and Hawks in the East, the Suns and Spurs in the West.

Compared to the Eastern Conference, the West is a group of entangled opponents with much more to watch.

To put it in a slightly literary way:

The grudge between the Suns and the Spurs can be written into a book, because Lin Ying's joining will start a new chapter.

In the video room after training that day, Lin Ying and Allen were studying the video there again.

Allen studied Parker and Ginobili, while Lin Ying studied Mason.

Mason is unknown in history. He was the No. 31 pick in the same draft as Yao Ming. He was eliminated from the NBA after just two years due to injuries and later went to Europe to play.

Later, he was re-employed in the NBA and performed well with the Wizards. Two years ago, Popovich spotted him and was recruited to the Spurs, where he performed the best in his career.

Mason can be considered an inspirational player in history, but now it is obvious that because of the emergence of Lin Ying, some things have changed.

So he needs to re-examine this player.

He even found the video of Zhu Fangyu knocking down Mason last season.

After reading it, Lin Ying's first feeling was: Mason is very "immature" in this aspect.

Compared with his "senior brothers" Bowen and Horry, he is just a new recruit.

It seemed that Popovich had no one available, and then he forcibly found someone who was willing to do his bidding.

This is also reasonable.

As Stern becomes more and more concerned about the league's reputation, the living space of dirty players in the NBA is becoming increasingly compressed.

Players who dare to do that will most likely bear the risk of losing their jobs.

Or in other words, it is impossible for NBA coaches to protect players' jobs for a lifetime, but if they do, they may actually lose their jobs.

Therefore, players like Mason who have little chance in the NBA and who received a relatively large contract with the Spurs are the easiest to be deceived.

After watching the video, Lin Ying felt more confident.

It takes a lot of effort to deal with a player like Bowen, but it's much easier to deal with this one.

Just after watching it, the door to the video room was pushed open, and the person who came in was Da Ben.

"Lin, they said you were here."

Da Ben came to see Lin Ying.

Lin Ying went out with a puzzled look on his face.

"I still have a secret weapon I haven't taught you."

Although Lin Ying didn't know what the so-called secret weapon was, he was still very excited when he heard it.

This is similar to those old monsters in seclusion behind the cliff who want to teach their unique skills.

And instead of taking him to the team's training facility, Ben took him to another private training facility that he had rented before.

This made him mysterious and made him even more curious about the so-called secret weapon.

After he arrived and Ben began to teach, his jaw almost dropped.

That was actually a skill called..."Rebounding and elbowing people"!

Why is the prefix "rebound" added to the elbow man?

Because it involves intentional and unintentional issues.

If you simply elbow someone, the referee will not let you go.

But if you elbow someone while grabbing a rebound, is that an elbow? It was because you accidentally hit someone while grabbing a rebound, it was not intentional!

There is a lot to say here.

Especially when a tall man is rebounding with a short man, it's really hard to tell clearly.

Lin Ying, is studying very seriously!

Here is a relatively high-level example, the study of two bombs.

Qian Lao has a very classic saying: There are two different things if you don’t have a sword in your hand and if you have a sword and don’t use it!

No? When someone hits you, you can only take the beating passively. Even if you resist, you may die together.

But if you do, others will be jealous and afraid!

Moreover, Lin Ying found that this thing looked simple, but it was really very particular.

It's right to think about it, for a guy as short as Ben, no matter how good he can jump, he won't be able to grab so many rebounds just by relying on his skills, so he must be a deterrent.

The elbow is undoubtedly the best tool.

This is not exclusive to Big Ben. Malone, O'Neal, and even Rodman, almost all the "tough" players of the last century, all know this traditional skill.

Of course, it depends on how it is used. If it is really treated as a "nuclear weapon", it will not be easy to use the sword, and it will not be active.

People like Malone who directly used it as a conventional weapon, and people like Bynum who actively used it without any limits are both shameless.

After the practice, the two sat and chatted, and Ben also talked about the reason why he went to Lin Ying.

Because the whole team was watching the game, he could tell at a glance that Mason did it on purpose.

He couldn't get on the field himself, so he had to "pass" the moves to others who could.

Everyone on the Suns team is a gentleman, and the newcomer Butler has proven to have no "thorny" attributes at all.

In comparison, Lin Ying, who elbowed Horry, punched Bowen, and had the best understanding, was naturally the only and best candidate.

After getting Ben's "secret weapon", Lin Ying became more confident in the next series with the Spurs.

And just like what he has done this season, he is not going to be passive this time.

He even remembered the anime called "Under One Person" that he had watched before.

Why did the Heavenly Master inside come down the mountain?

Not only to avenge my junior brother, but also to tell others:

If you dare to touch Zhang Chulan, I will destroy all of you!

…

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the regional semifinals officially kicked off.

The game between the Celtics and the Hawks started first.

The Eagles gave the Celtics a chill as soon as they came up.

83 to 82.

In a defensive battle, "Modern Jordan" Joe Johnson directly sealed the throat with his sword and gave the Celtics a defeat.

Does Tony Allen matter?

It doesn't seem that important.

But does it matter without Tony Allen?

It’s actually quite important!

In this year's playoffs in history, Allen played a very good defensive performance throughout the playoffs.

It was that performance that earned him a three-year contract with the Grizzlies after the season.

So the Celtics are sure to beat the Hawks?

With Johnson, this matter is really special!

The Eastern Conference had a good show at the beginning, and the fans' appetites were whetted, and their expectations for the next game were even higher.

Because the Spurs are Black Seven, the Suns have home court advantage in this series, and the series will start with Phoenix.

In the latest show, Barkley stopped pretending and went straight to the showdown.

"It's time for revenge!"

That fierce expression was definitely his rare serious expression.

Suns fans have been fully mobilized before the game. On the day of the game, when the fans entered the arena, they all had "Avenger" expressions on their faces.

Suns locker room.

Today, the expressions of most of the team members are unprecedentedly serious.

Even Richardson and Barbosa stopped joking.

"Are you too nervous?"

Butler, who was straightforward, couldn't help but say.

"Caron, we are not nervous, we are excited."

Richardson spoke.
