Chapter 748 Chinese Germans
The Los Angeles Times reported that just after the Clippers won the sixth game of the semi-finals and successfully brought the battle site of the seventh game back to Staples, Dallas fans began to sing "beat-la" and they seemed to have begun to foresee the finals that they would play against the Clippers.☆→,
Mavericks guard Jason Terry said on Twitter last week that he hoped that the opponent in the final would be the San Antonio Spurs rather than the Clippers, because the Mavericks would have a home advantage. However, in the game where the Clippers defeated the Spurs the day before yesterday, this hope had been lost. Although the Mavericks' wishful thinking failed, Terry still said that no matter who the opponent was, the Mavericks would definitely strive to win the series.
According to the information found, the Mavericks only conducted some lightweight training every day during the week waiting for their opponents to be released in the Western Conference Finals. Yao Ming, Kidd, Nowitzki and other veterans were in good condition. There were no annoying injuries in the team, and there were no non-combat reductions.
"I want to congratulate Yao Ming. He spent another season safely. I thought his career would not be 30 years old. Who knew that he had maintained an attendance rate of 60+ in these two seasons, which is a bit unscientific." When Ji Guoxiong was asked before the game, he said the above words that made the little giant think of Japanese dogs.
Many domestic fans think that the Dead Fox is too much and can't joke like this. You can't live to be 30 years old.
Yao Ming's attendance rate in the past two seasons is indeed very high. He played nearly 70 games last year, and this year he played 72 games in the regular season, and has maintained full attendance so far in the playoffs.
The Little Giants have maintained high efficiency for eight consecutive seasons, which has made his historical status increasingly higher. The length of a player's peak period is the key to determining whether he can enter the Hall of Fame. If he can reach the All-Star data for ten consecutive seasons, then the player's hope of entering the Hall of Fame will be much greater.
Mavericks fans feel that the decision to sign Yao Ming was too wise. What they predicted before the season was that Yao Ming could only play half of the regular season, and the attendance rate in the playoffs depends on luck. Now the result is far beyond their expectations. The salary of 11 million yuan will bring an All-Star insider, which is a very cost-effective deal.
Chinese fans are also happy that Yao Ming's high attendance rate is directly related to Carlisle's rotation. Because the team has a reliable Polish Hammer, Yao Ming does not need to work hard to play for more than 30 minutes in every game. This season, the Little Giants averaged only 28.1 minutes per game, contributing 16.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 blocks, with a very high efficiency.
Yao Ming himself said before the game: "The Clippers have helped us a lot until the seventh game because the team has more rest time and each player can be healthier."
Mavericks coach Carlisle also said: "During this break, the Mavericks' form has not cooled down at all. The team is ready to play a tough series with the Clippers with a full seven games."
For the Clippers, Dunleavy, the old man said: "You must believe that you can reach this level (four consecutive championships), and you must believe in your teammates and coaches. In the Western Conference Finals series against the Mavericks, the Clippers cannot make this unstable mistake. We cannot always hope to fall behind 0:3 and turn around. We will not complete such reversals twice in our career."
This is the first time Ji Guomeng has fought with the Mavericks in the playoffs. The Spurs have fought too many times with the Clippers, giving people the impression that the Spurs have been defeated by the Clippers. The Mavericks and the Clippers have had much less confrontation. And what is surprising is that the Mavericks have had a good record in the face of the Clippers in recent years. The Cowboys have not been completely at a disadvantage.
espn counts the number of times the Clippers and Mavericks have played against each other after the Animal Brothers joined. The two teams have played 12 times in four seasons, with the Clippers winning 7 and losing 5, just a small victory.
Nowitzki, the Mavericks' star, averaged 25 points and 8 rebounds in the 12 games against the Clippers in the past four years, which is basically the same as his average number in recent years.
There is another more interesting data. Yao Ming also played 12 games with the Clippers in four seasons with the Rockets and Mavericks, and the latter's record was 7 wins and 5 losses. However, Yao Ming averaged 24 points and 10 rebounds in these 12 games, and his performance exceeded his average data.
What do these two phenomena show?
At least it shows that Nowitzki and Yao Ming did not fall at a disadvantage in the direct confrontation with the Animal Brothers. The Little Giants will perform better than usual when facing the Animal Brothers. This is definitely not good news for the Clippers, and they may be restrained by the Mavericks' lineup.
On May 15, the first Western Conference Finals continued in Los Angeles.
Before the game, many media discovered something very interesting. This season was the 11th time the Clippers entered the playoffs. Before the Animal Brothers came to the Clippers, the Clippers only played in the playoffs 7 times in total, making it a typical team that has become a bottom-season team all year round.
The Mavericks are just the opposite. The Texas Cowboys may not have entered the playoffs as many times as the Clippers have entered the playoffs. This is the first time that the two teams have met in the playoffs. The Warriors' Black Eight Miracle hurt the Mavericks. After that, with the birth of rubbish contracts such as Danpier, the Mavericks were unable to strengthen the team. The Cowboys began to decline and were unable to escape from the Texas civil war between the Rockets and the Spurs for a long time.
This year, Cuban robbed Yao Ming from Texas Rockets, and then rushed out of Texas and returned to the Western Conference Finals.
During the three years of silence of the Mavericks, the Clippers emerged from a bottom-skinned team to a dynasty team, and have won the championship three times. This time the battle between the old and new teams is eye-catching. The battle between the four international insiders, Yao Ming, Nowitzki, Ji Guomo and Polish Hammer, has also made many fans excited.
Yahoo Sports expressed concerns about the American insider at this time. Let's see what superstar insiders have appeared in the United States over the years? After counting, it seems that only Howard, a rough-looking Warcraft, is barely considered one, but this superstar center who takes the lead is often defended by some blue-collar insiders. Such embarrassment is almost impossible for Animal Brothers, Nowitzki, Yao Ming and others. The only way to deal with these people is to explode each other, but Howard can be defended by the blue-collar insider, which makes them embarrassed to praise this American only insider.
Oden has now completely confirmed the scrapping of his life, but the American media and fans always sigh at the "Emperor" every now and then. The meaning is nothing more than "If Oden is not injured, then the animal war in the new era will become a three-legged tripod."
This game is a showdown between the international inside stars of the league, but unlike the animal brothers in the previous few seasons, the fox brother has become the side of fighting alone. Although he is surrounded by an old shark, many people are not optimistic that O'Neal, who is full of fat, can withstand Yao Ming with a fleshy body.
The Los Angeles Times also specifically criticized O'Neal's training attitude before the game. Yao Ming's weight is now maintained at 300 pounds, but O'Neal is playing with a 340 pound weight. His fat body is so obvious that except for not training seriously, there is no other excuse.
The body fat rate of this big shark is too high. Before the start of the season, his weight once reached an astonishing 350 pounds, but the so-called weight loss was only 10 pounds. A body of fat was enough to affect his movement and the degree of confrontation.
After asking relevant experts, Da Bendan learned that although O'Neal only plays about 20 minutes per game, the pressure on his legs is greater than that of Yao Ming, who plays more than 30 minutes per game. This is the reason why he often can't even play 20 minutes well.
Looking at Yao Ming on the other hand, the little giant obviously maintained his physical condition very well. His 300-pound weight was about twenty pounds lower than his previous seasons, but it made him more flexible, his strength did not drop much, and even his physical strength was better.
This can be seen from the increase in Yao Ming's average playing field to 32 minutes in the playoffs. The Little Giants' data in the playoffs has been improved comprehensively compared to the regular season. They averaged 18.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.8 blocks per game. In other words, if Yao Ming's physical strength is spared, he can play about 36 minutes in a game. Then Yao Ming is still a player who averages 20+10 per game.
Recently, the Sharks have been trapped in the siege of active and retired stars. This fat man’s popularity is not much better than Kobe. When he first entered the NBA, this fat man was even more arrogant than Peter Pan and was always clamoring in the media.
The 71 points of the Sea General Robinson scored in that game by his teammates and opponents so that he could make sure he surpassed O'Neal. That year, the two ranked first and second in the scoring champions. But no one wanted O'Neal to get this honor, so Robinson's magical night of 71 points was achieved.
Many of the peerless geniuses in NBA history have very poor popularity when they first debuted. A low-key historical superstar like James is actually very good, but so many people still hate it.
Bill Walton publicly criticized O'Neal for being accused of being injured and truce at the Heat. He had a very poor relationship with Pat Riley. He went to the Suns and focused on internal disputes. He went to the Cavaliers and the Clippers and became a car salesman (O'Neal gave out luxury cars on the birthday of James and the Fox brother), and finally mocked: "Shake is a hypocrite, and his arrogance is an insult to those with brains."
Of course, Kobe would not miss the opportunity to step on his opponent at this time. He quickly followed the trend in front of the media to criticize O'Neal: "He is not professional at all, greedy and selfish. He is really lazy. He often has a distorted body shape and accumulates a lot of fat. He is not a qualified leader at all. He is the core of the team. Every day you should know that as a leader, you should train well and not be able to spend time there all day, but ten years ago he was used to being lazy, and he never practiced free throws."
James also secretly said: "Shack training never arrives early." The implication is that he is always late, and a low-key person does not mean that he will not be in trouble.
Barkley laughed at O'Neal: "I've never heard that free throws are not good. If Kobe hadn't, he wouldn't have gotten the championship ring at all. No one could have laughed at the other hugged the thigh." Then Big Butt said: "O'Neal was partnered with 'Penny' Hardaway during the Magic, with Kobe in the Lakers, with Wade in the Heat, with Nash in the Suns, with James in the Cavaliers, and with Brother Fox in the Clippers. And he said hidingly, 'When you talk about helpers, you know'."
After the game started, Ji Guomo was not in a hurry to attack. Today, the Mavericks used regional joint defense to deal with the Clippers' active scoring champion.
Ji Guomo also knew that they did not have an advantage in lineup against the Mavericks, so if they wanted to win the game, they needed to play. Ray Allen and Billups had to score high points, so he rarely took action, but the Fox contributed 3 assists in the first quarter.
In addition to using a lot of joint defense in the game, the offensive end is mainly initiated by Yao Ming, who is in the inside. Although Nowitzki and Terry are both efficient in the playoffs this year, with both three-point shooting percentages exceeding 45%, the Little Giants seem to have been efficient and terrible, so no one dares to double-team Yao Ming too much in the Mavericks.
After the first quarter, the score was 26:28. The scores of both teams were not exaggerated, but Yao Ming made 4 of 6 shots and still made the Clippers feel very injured.
O'Neal has tried his best, but with his current state, he really can't keep up with Yao Ming's pace. His 340-pound weight did not allow him to gain advantage in the confrontation, but instead became a drag.
Ji Guomo still rarely made moves in the second quarter, but Terry began to explode. Ray Allen and Iguodala had already defended many times, but the Jets could hit and shoot. Terry was really unreasonable this year, even more unreasonable than Crawford of the Clippers in previous years, and was very similar to Ginobili in 2005.
The Mavericks kept widening the gap, and Ji Guomomori had to strengthen his offense, but Nowitzki also began to perform the Golden Rooster Independence. Ray Allen started stealth again today, and the Fox brother said he was unable to do so. At the end of the half, the Clippers were 6 points behind 50:56.
Ji Guomeng scored 16 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks in the first half, Billups scored 8 points and 3 assists, Iguodala scored 6 points, Hill scored 6 points, Dragic scored 5 points, O'Neal scored 4 points, Ray Allen scored 3 points, and McGrady scored 2 points.
Yao Ming scored 14 points and 5 rebounds in the first half, Nowitzki scored 12 points and 4 rebounds, Terry scored 12 points, Gottt scored 6 points, Kidd scored 6 points, and Marion scored 6 points.
The Clippers missed 7 consecutive shots after the start of the third quarter. The Mavericks once again scored a big score. It was not until 7 minutes and 30 seconds left in the quarter that Yuki Guosha made a shot. The Mavericks continued to launch a fierce attack. The last 3 minutes left in the third quarter. After Yao Ming hit a hook shot, the Mavericks led by 16 points with 74:58.
Ji Guomo was finally angry, completely gave up the assist, and started a crazy attack.
In the last three minutes of the third quarter, the Fox brother made three three-pointers in succession, and another forced breakthrough caused a foul. He made two free throws. After the Clippers scored 11:4, they chased the score difference to only 8 points before the end of this quarter.
The Fox brother scored 15 points in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, he continued to strengthen his personal offense. The Clippers narrowed the score gap several times. However, every time the score difference was approaching 5 points, the three Mavericks' three scorers would always hit the key ball, interrupting the Clippers' chasing momentum.
With 6 minutes and 05 seconds left in the final quarter, Ji Guomeng made two consecutive high-difficulty backward shots, and the Clippers fell behind by 5 points with 94:99.
This was the smallest point difference between the two teams after the first quarter. However, after Kidd scored a three-pointer, the Mavericks scored again on the offensive end.
Nowitzki's golden rooster independence made Ji Guomeng's super long arm span sigh. He has never been able to completely defeat this German because the opponent has this unique skill that cannot be defended. As long as Nowitzki makes his own shot accurately, Ji Guomeng has no choice but to influence his sight as much as possible.
But the psychological quality of the Germans is really hard. No matter how Ji Guomo uses trash words and iron elbows to influence Nowitzki, the latter does not fight back, and does not fight back when scolding, but only uses his precise shots again and again as a response.
Both Mavericks' inside players are like this. Yao Ming can make a joke before and after the game, but once he gets on the court, he doesn't say a word of nonsense. The Mavericks are a damn German Nazi and a bastard Chinese Red Army. Ji Guomo feels that these two guys are much harder to deal with than Garnett, who can't stop talking throughout the game. It's different to be able to fight the nations of the whole world.
Ji Guomeng scored another 12 points in the fourth quarter, but Yao Ming and Nowitzki jointly contributed 15 points. With Terry's draw, the Clippers were still 10 points behind 1 minute and 30 seconds before the final game. The general trend of this game is over.
