Chapter 567 [With ease, the sky is dark and the earth is dark]

The king of statistics in the regular season is revealed.

The 76ers' Iverson averaged 33 points per game and became the scoring leader for the fourth time in his career. In addition, he also had 3.2 rebounds, 7.4 rebounds and 1.9 steals. His gorgeous data gave him a large number of fans, but the 76ers management began to consider trading him out. The team basically loses in games where he scores high points.

After Larry Brown, the 76ers have changed four head coaches, but they have been unable to lead the team out of the quagmire. Except for second-year rookie forward Luol Deng and blue-collar center Dalembert, the others barely defended, and they couldn't make the playoffs no matter how many points they scored.

Yao Ming won the rebounding title with his efforts in the last game, averaging 12.8 rebounds per game, 0.1 more than Garnett.

In the second half, Yang Rui increased Yao Ming's playing time. Two teammates helped to block players, and his backcourt rebounds soared. No one said that Yao Ming rebounded because he only played 35 minutes per game. Garnett's Timberwolves were often beaten in the third quarter and entered garbage time, averaging 39 minutes per game.

Nash of the Suns continues to retain the assists title, averaging 11.1 times per game. Unfortunately, he has nothing to do with the MVP selection this season.

The leader in blocks is Marcus Camby of the Nuggets, averaging 3.3 per game.

Yang Rui also asked Yao Ming to block shots and jump up as much as possible to prevent his opponent from entering the penalty area. He did so, averaging 2.5 per game in the end. In terms of blocking shots, Yao Ming is not inferior to black players, but the inside players of all teams will avoid him, pull out the pick-and-roll, let the defender rush him, and try to make him foul. His lateral movement is not fast enough, and he blocks the defender better than the inside player. Much harder.

Camby is different. Although he is 211cm tall and weighs only 100 kilograms, he is very thin and looks easy to bully.

The steal leader is Bobcats forward Gerald Wallace, averaging 2.5 per game. The forward's emergence as the steal leader also surprised many people. He also averaged 15.2 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.

Many people believe that Gerrard's outburst is also a sign of Yang Ruihui's ability to discern talents. As early as when he was with the Wizards, Yang Rui was optimistic about Gerrard. The playoffs gave him many opportunities to perform and predicted that he would become a star one day. .

On the 20th, the Lakers confirmed their 13-man roster for the playoffs, and rookie point guard Lou Williams was excluded.

Lewis is too young now and cannot compare with Damon Jones and Mo Williams in all aspects. In addition, Ellis can also serve as a point guard, so there is no place for him in the team.

During the season, Lewis was sent to the Development League, but he achieved good statistics and made progress.

On the 22nd, the playoffs started.

In the Los Angeles Derby, the Clippers staged a tragedy. They did not have a home court in the first round!

At home, it doesn’t mean that the floor signs will be changed. Almost all Los Angeles fans are Lakers fans now. After all, it’s not after 2012. The record gap between the two teams is too big. The Clippers’ star player is Kaman with a hair style like a madman. Why? Attract fans?

Many people say that Clippers owner Donald Sterling is stingy. In fact, he is not stingy, but his first priority is making money.

Without superstars on the team, Sterling is unwilling to spend money to build the team. Anyway, if you lose money, you won't win the championship, so you might as well make some small money.

Later, the team selected No. 1 power forward Blake Griffin, and Sterling changed his mind. With this guaranteed box office, by trading for Paul, the team won the title of "Lob City". Ratings, attendance and sales of peripheral products have all increased significantly, and there are more sponsors, making more money than the previous method of selling players. In the end, the Clippers sold for 2 billion.

To put it bluntly, Sterling is not an owner who loves basketball, but he is a successful businessman who knows how to use the team to make money.

In the first game against the Lakers, everyone saw the gap between the two sides. Whether starting or coming off the bench, the Lakers had the advantage in every position.

Kaman averaged 16.7 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 2.8 blocks per game. The statistics are very beautiful. He was not selected for the All-Star Game, and some people believe that he is better than Rasheed Wallace and is more qualified to be selected.

As a result, the two of them matched up,

Kaman showed his true colors, scoring only 8 points and 7 rebounds in the first game.

Kaman's offense is basically concentrated at the basket, and his active fighting has won him many secondary offensive opportunities. His hook shots inside can only be said to be average, and his mid-range jump shots are accurate to a certain extent. The proportion is very low and cannot be called a unique skill. .

Such a style is doomed to make him unable to become a first-class star. He can't get rid of Rasheed's interference when shooting from the outside, let alone the basket. As soon as Yao Ming shrinks, he has to pass the ball. His partner Kwame Brown still lacks offensive ability. Shooting can only be missed in the penalty area.

On the defensive end, Kaman is even more tragic. Although he defends diligently, his lateral steps are relatively slow. Whether he is guarding Yao Ming or Rasheed, he is easily tricked by defenders when encountering pick-and-rolls.

The Twin Towers did a poor job of defending three-pointers from the outside, and the point difference quickly widened to double digits. Clippers coach Dunleavy had no choice but to replace Kurt Thomas and Kwame. The zone defense was changed to man-to-man to strengthen the defense of the pick-and-roll. , the inside line is open again.

Kobe first looks for a pick-and-roll to get rid of Mobley, attracting Kaman to switch defense and then passing to Yao Ming. This is an opportunity. If Thomas is guarding Yao Ming, Yao Ming will have an opportunity if he directly asks for the ball in the low post and plays in singles. He has an advantage in height and weight.

The Clippers insiders must help defend Kobe and switch to defense. "Old Cat" Mobley is only 193cm tall. A slightly slower pursuit will not interfere with Kobe's shooting. Kobe's pull-up jump shot left many teams helpless during the regular season.

The Big Three of the Lakers came off work in three quarters and scored 72 points together, more than the entire Clippers team.

In the final substitute contest, Odom, Ellis, and Diaw continued to widen the point difference, beating the Clippers by 54 points 133-79 in the first game.

In the next three games, the Lakers also played with ease and practiced tactics. The stars never played in the fourth quarter. They beat the Clippers by more than 30 points in each game and swept the Clippers 4-0 to advance.

In the fourth game, Yao Ming played tricks. He faked a breakthrough dunk in the middle of the court, turned around and dunked from the baseline, and also made 3 three-pointers. He played with Kaman several times and scored a triple-double of 23 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. .

Even so, when the media evaluated the "drug-taking combination", they believed that they were not effective because the two averaged less than 30 minutes per game. The Lakers can completely defeat the Clippers by relying only on fast breaks by role players and off-ball coverage on both sides, as well as inside support.

The media also analyzed that it will be easy for the Lakers to advance to the next round of the series because they are waiting for work and the schedule is too favorable.

Two strong teams, the Mavericks and the Suns, came together and fought like crazy.

The Suns made reinforcements in the mid-term, signing power forward Tim Thomas, who was waived by the Sonics, to increase interior depth. Thomas is a notoriously bad contract player in the league, but his style of floating outside shots is a perfect fit for the Suns.

After a 2-2 draw, the Mavericks won the "Battle of Heavenly Kings Mountain" at home, and then the Suns equalized at home to enter the tiebreaker.

In the tiebreaker, Nowitzki defeated O'Neal one-on-one and scored 36 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists.

Alston also showed off his strength, scoring 25 points and 10 assists, unexpectedly overwhelming Nash in the crucial game.

The "King of Street Ball" occasionally had a fit and was extremely successful. He made 5 three-pointers in the game and was able to break through and shoot small floaters. Under Nash's defense, he was perfect in breaking through with the ball and catching and shooting.

Nash scored 16 points and 11 assists. He performed normally and was unable to lead the team to win.

The Mavericks won 123-104 at home and advanced to the second round with a total score of 4-3.

After the game, Mavericks boss Cuban said in an interview: "I am in a much better mood now. The Mavericks are still a strong team without Nash."

As a result, he was ridiculed by Suns fans online: "Let's see if you are still in a good mood when you are slaughtered by the Lakers."

No one is optimistic about the Mavericks advancing to the Western Conference Finals, and the Lakers have a week off.
