Chapter 1081 The playoffs start
Playing in the bubble, relatively speaking, the influence of home and away factors is very small.This is a good thing for the teams in the lower zone.
And there are no fans watching the game, which is beneficial to the players themselves, especially the outside players, because practice has proved that the shooter's shooting rate becomes higher on this occasion.
The Clippers and Trail Blazers are both perimeter teams, and the core players of both teams are perimeter players, so playing in the bubble is beneficial to both parties, and after removing the advantage of playing, the two teams are almost competing at the same starting line.
Judging from the rankings, the Clippers' schedule is good if it proceeds as normal.The first round against the Blazers may be troublesome, but if Jin successfully defeats the opponent, in the second round, the opponent will be the winner between the Nuggets and the Jazz.The wings of these two teams are not strong, but the inside is strong, which is the opponent type that the Clippers prefer.
If the Lakers want to meet the Clippers, they will also go to the Western Conference Finals.Their opponent in the first round is the Lone Ranger, so the promotion should not be a big problem, and the winner between Mosaic and Thunder will be played in the second round.This opponent will most likely be the Rockets. Facing Mosaic led by Dengwei's second young master, the difficulty will rise sharply, because the Lakers have a big problem in the backcourt.
Of course, the Los Angeles Derby will appear, and if everything goes well, there will be a Western Conference Finals, so for it to appear, both sides need to kill their opponents.
The season is over, although the 82 games have not been played, but the data of the regular season has come out. NBA officials have revealed before that the regular season MVP selection will refer to the performance before the rematch, and judging from the performance before the rematch, Xie Kai won the MVP for the fourth consecutive season, and it seems that there is no much suspense.
The only suspense is whether the league will catch the monsters. Once they catch the monsters, they feel that the MVP of the regular season cannot be monopolized and have to replace them. Then Xie Kai, even if his personal data explodes, even if the team record is the first in the league, it is possible Ultimately missed.After all, this is a business league, not an Olympic competition. If you are awesome, you will win a gold medal.In a selection method like MVP, many things cannot be quantified.
Just like Xie Kai's first championship, the final FMVP was given to the Black Bear, but in fact his statistics and performance in the finals were better than the Black Bear.
In the 2019-20 season, Xie Kai played 69 games and started 69 games. He averaged 38.1 minutes per game, contributed 39.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 2.8 steals, 1.2 blocks and 1.5 turnovers. His shooting percentage was 60.1%, 3 The field goal percentage is 44.7%, and the free throw percentage is 98.5%.In the case that the possession of the ball and usage rate have not increased significantly compared with last season, he abruptly relied on efficiency to greatly increase his scoring average, which is unbelievable.
Such stats and efficiency are almost perfect. If Xie Kai misses the MVP in the end, it's not because he's not good enough, but because the league deliberately doesn't give him it, then it's not up to him to decide.
This season, Xie Kai overwhelmed Harden with an average of 39.1 points per game and regained the league scoring title.This is the sixth scoring title of his NBA career, ranking first in active service.
On August 8, the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Clippers VS Trail Blazers.
Due to injuries, the Blazers went around this season, and it was not until they participated in the semi-finals that Li's guidance made a big splash, and they made it to the playoffs strongly.
Facing the well-managed Clippers, the Blazers really can't play Hood and Collins, and the center crossbow is also injured, so it's hard to say how good they can play.This team wants to be a black eight, so they can only hope that Li will guide the avatar to become a Super Saiyan, and it will be a crazy Carry.
But fans who are a little more sensible also know that you can guide crazy Carry, you have two guns in the backcourt, you have the best perimeter defense team in the league, and you have Xie Kai, who can score nearly 40 points per game in the regular season. What wins 4 games?
Not to mention that the Clippers are likely to choose to pinch two guns. You lack forward talents. Do you really expect the old Melon to dream of returning to the top and beat the young Pickled Pepper and Jr. Morris?
The prediction before the game was that the Clippers would 4:1 the Trail Blazers. The reason why it was not 4:0 was because of the respect of Guidance Li, CJ and the old Melon. Their offense was really explosive, but this is the playoffs, and they had no defense This is the biggest flaw in the Clippers' staffing.
The game was broadcast live on Tencent, and Duan Ran and Yang Yi were responsible for the commentary.
Duan Ran said: "Does Teacher Yang think that playing in the bubble is really more accurate than playing in their respective home courts?"
Yang Yi adjusted his glasses, curled his lips and said: "Yes! Really! I have heard it from those stars more than once. And judging from the rematch, players with long shots from the outside are indeed more accurate. Look at Lila De and Xie Kai are both accurate. There are fans on the scene that will interfere with the players. Now there are no fans watching the game, it is very empty, and the shooter will be more comfortable shooting."
Duan Ran asked: "Do you think there will really be a dark horse in this round of the series as the outside world said?"
Yang Yi laughed: "I think the possibility is almost zero. Even if the Clippers are going to lose, they won't be in this round. The Blazers' defense is too poor, which makes them even if Lillard goes crazy. Can't prevent the opponent's offense. But if Director Li didn't shoot crazy, then I'm sorry, the Clippers are going to take away the game. I think ESPN's score of 0:4 is enough to match the Blazers. You rematch It’s true that you played well, but they really didn’t play hard with you, the playoffs and the regular season are completely different games.”
The list of starting players from both sides was announced.
For the Clippers, the starting five are Beverly, Xie Kai, Paul George, Marcus Morris, and Zubac.
The Trail Blazers have a lineup similar to the Clippers: Lillard, CJ, Gary Trent Jr., Anthony, and Crossbow.
There is a European standing center on both sides, and the 4th positions on both sides are swinging 3/4 positions. They can shoot 3 points to open up space, and they can also play post-up singles.Both sides are dominated by outside lines, and they are both able to score 140 points at every turn.
The Xie Kai VS Lillard that the fans were looking forward to was finally staged.
The Trail Blazers performed extremely well in the rematch, and they now have a strong desire to think about black eight, especially in the only contest between the two teams after the rematch, they were the winning side.
Zubac and Nuji jump the ball near the middle circle, and the game is about to start.
There were no cheers from the fans in the game in the bubble, and the scene seemed a little deserted.
At the start of the jump ball, the Ballista jumped the ball and won Zubac, and the Trail Blazers won the first wave of offensive balls.
Lillard slowly dribbled over, and Beverly led the defense like a sticky candy.
It is the intention of Lao Li's team to let Beverly lead the defense of Lillard and consume the opponent.If Beverly can consume Lillard and make the man who feels the hottest at the moment efficient, then the possibility of the team winning will be greatly increased.
In fact, the only hope for this Trail Blazers to win is Lillard. CJ is facing off against Xie Kai, too busy to take care of himself, and Anthony is 36 years old, do you really expect him to dream of returning to the top?
