Chapter five hundred and thirteenth [trouble caused by push-ups]
If the team wants to compete for the championship, in addition to having a good player lineup and coaching staff, another important factor is the team doctor. The Spurs, Suns, and Clippers have good team doctors. Bad examples are like the Rockets, Trail Blazers, Timberwolves, etc. After Ellie took power, the Clippers immediately paid a high salary to invite a brand new medical team with a good reputation in the industry. If you have to face the situation where the wounded soldiers are full, no matter how strong the lineup is, it is difficult to win the championship.
Grant Hill was in his second spring in the Suns that year. After joining the Forest, Wolves were finished immediately. This season, they almost didn't even play in the game. They were on the injury list. It was almost time for summer to retire. As soon as Jermaine O'Neal, who was seriously injured many times and was almost on the edge, was guaranteed as the attendance rate of the Suns, and he averaged 30 minutes of rebounds per game, and he still had the style of the year.
The Clippers' team doctor is not bad either, so people with injuries like Perry Jones, Cork Hinrich played safely for one season. But the team doctor had no choice but to Marcus Thorton in this situation, and Thorton missed dozens of games this season.
Some injuries are unpreventable. Before the excitement of sweeping the Golden State Warriors passed, the Clippers flew into trouble, and inside general Love was injured.
Love has always been in the floor style. He can jump shots and never enter the inside line. He can shoot with the board and don’t dunk. It’s bizarre to tell how he was injured. He did push-ups during training, and his hand accidentally twisted inward, and his palm fractured...
The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things. For example, some people have only one old tooth left, and they can stuff their teeth even when they eat (it is stuffed with lotus root). It is not surprising that Love is injured, so they can only blame him for being too careless.
As soon as the Clippers announced Love's injury, the Clippers' competitors were all happy, and hope of defeating the Clippers has come.
网上还对此展开了争论,有人认为乐福并非是训练导致的受伤.而是因为砸了什么东西.还有些流言说他其实是揍了一些拥趸或者朋友,想象力非常丰富.乐福接受采访澄清了这些谣言.称这次受伤就是一次非常罕见的意外.
Love was missing for at least 6 weeks and the season ended early. He played as a superstar in the first round of the series, which was a bit of a joy and sadness. After being injured, Love contacted Ye Feng immediately and apologized. If the Clippers lost the championship because of this, he thought he would bear the greatest responsibility.
Ye Feng had no reason to blame Love, and only said that there were Gasol brothers and Perry Jones in the inside, which would make up for his vacancy to a certain extent. He would also play harder.
In fact, without Love, the Clippers are equivalent to missing a stable double-double player. The loss can be imagined. This adds difficulty to their defense. Although the Clippers are strong, they have lost many games in the regular season. Teams such as Nets, Heat, Mavericks, and Grizzlies are all capable of competing with them. If they had a chance to win three points, they would have risen to 50%.
After seeing off Love, Ye Feng sat on the sofa and sighed. There were many new players in the team. The pressure to defend the title was not small, but now it is even more troublesome. The new players performed well in the first round, but it is difficult to perform well in the finals. If they want to win, they have to change their playing style, and he and the Gasol brothers must increase their playing time.
Alile sighed: "You have to calm down and don't be depressed. We have won three consecutive championships, and even if we lose this season, it's nothing."
Ye Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think it's difficult for us to win the championship?"
Alile shook her head and said lightly: "With you here, the Clippers must have the ability to win the championship, but you must be tired, right? Listen to what you said to Kevin, you will know that you are going to play like the regular season again."
Ye Feng smiled slightly. "You really understand me."
Ye Feng and Paul Gasol can play triangle offense, combining inside and outside. Ye Feng's shots must increase. Although Jones can shoot three-pointers, his rebounding skills cannot be compared with Love. The defense is not very good, and there is no big accident. Ye Feng also has to play No. 4 to strengthen the pick-and-roll defense and compete for the backcourt rebound. After Josh Smith left, the Clippers' rebounds were already weaker than last season.
Ye Feng is still confident that he can make the Clippers reach the finals, and he is also planning to get a few more 40+ this playoffs and head towards a new record.
After chatting for a while, Ye Feng and Ailer went to see the child together. The little guy ate and slept. He often cried when he was awake and didn't know anything.
Ailier said: "I'm really conflicted now. I hope time passes faster and listen to children talking to us, but I'm afraid that time will pass too quickly and people will get older."
Ye Feng did not feel that way. He was reborn from 30 to 19 years old. He is not as old as he was, so he naturally doesn't feel uncomfortable. These days are like a waste of time. When he thinks about the past and looks at the present, he is very content.
Alile also said that she didn't want her children to play basketball and become a player. If she likes basketball, she will be the boss in the future. She is not free to play basketball and is too tired. Although she didn't say it explicitly, Ye Feng could see that Alile would rather have plenty of time to travel with him than focus on her work. He secretly swears in his heart that he won't play too many seasons and retire when he can't run and his data declines.
The winners and losses were also decided in other games.
Eastern Nets swept Magic 4-0, and this series always showed a one-sided situation. The Nets won very easily, and they were the dominant positions in every position. If the Magic wants to become a champion contender, they still need to further strengthen the lineup.
I heard that after the Clippers lost Love, the Nets were the happiest. They were confident that they would reach the finals and compete with the Clippers.
The Heat swept the Bulls 4-0. The Bulls fought fiercely in every game. Both of them had led the score at home, but they lacked a super scorer who scored points at critical moments and could not convert the advantage into a victory in the fourth quarter. Boozer and Lol Deng were of great strength, and they were still one line away from the superstar. Jokin Noah did not gain any advantage in the confrontation with Bosh.
In the past, fans were always dissatisfied with LeBron James' habit of disappearing in the fourth quarter. In the past two seasons, he was able to stand up and dominate the game with scores in the fourth quarter, which was the team's well-deserved core. The data is still comprehensive, and he averaged 7 rebounds per game, which is a recognized person whose personal ability is comparable to Ye Feng. However, his style of play is selfless and difficult to get the scoring champion.
The Heat's weaknesses are as obvious as their advantages. After Mayo left, their substitute ability to grab points became weaker. Dwayne Wade's condition declined significantly, center Delham Porter also performed poorly, and whether to stay in the team next season is still unknown. Chandler Parsons can only be a substitute, and the Heat's interior still mainly relies on Chris Bosh. Such a lineup is hard to say for the Internet team.
The biggest upset in the East is the 76ers eliminated the New York Knicks 4-1.
Nash and Anthony led the Knicks to win away a game, avoiding the embarrassment of being swept. The team could never go further in the playoffs, and the team was determined to rebuild. Their first job in the summer was to trade Amare Stadamier out of the team, and they didn't even want to keep Nash anymore. Nash's passing power is still there and the data is good, but with him, the Knicks' defense has loopholes. The Knicks spend a lot of money every year to attract stars and strengthen the lineup, but they cannot truly become a strong team. Their patience is almost wiped out.
The 76ers were happy that they sent Igudara for Bynum, which was a very wise deal.
The Celtics eliminated the Bucks 4-1. Garnett and Pierce are still powerful, Terry and Rondo are also very strong, and the Bucks are not their opponents.
Under the leadership of Deron Williams and Dirk Nowitzki, the Mavericks swept the Rockets 4-0. The Mavericks' pick-and-roll cooperation is one of the best in the league. The Rockets, who also play pick-and-roll tactics, lack a person who is good at holding the ball, and Kevin Martin also focuses on shooting. When they return to the playoffs, the Rockets have not been able to go too far.
The Spurs defeated the Thunder 4-1. Durant scored 48 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists in the fourth game, avoiding the misfortune of being swept. However, Scola was one year older next season, and with the garbage contracts between Ibaka and Perkins, it was very difficult to rise. Durant** supports the Thunder and is destined to be unlucky.
The final winner was the Grizzlies vs. Nuggets. After the two sides reached 2-2, the Grizzlies won the game with a 14-point advantage at home and won the match point. In the sixth away game against the Nuggets, Westbrook was in great shape. He and Gotat teamed up to limit Chris. Paul, allowing Paul to only score 8 points and 9 assists in the game. Paul also has an injury history and should not play too much. After playing a few games, his condition went wrong. The Grizzlies' starting five players are all stars, and there are several people who can stand up and play in each game.
Those who performed well in this game were Chauncey, Billups and Rudy Guy, who both made the ball from the outside. Billups made 6 of 9 three-pointers, and Guy made 4 of 8 shots, both in the first half. These 10 three-pointers helped the Grizzlies gain a big lead in the first half. Although the Nuggets were very powerful at home, they tried hard to chase points in the second half, but they were unable to make the situation come true.
The second round matchup table has been lined up, with the Clippers vs Grizzlies, Spurs vs Mavericks, Nets vs Celtics, Heat vs 76ers.
The Grizzlies and the Clippers met several times in the playoffs and are also well-known old opponents. The confrontation between Love and Griffin was a big highlight. Now Love is injured and the Grizzlies have an advantage at the No. 4 position. Gott also performed well this season, with the center ranked in the top ten. Whether he can take advantage of Mark Gasol is the key to whether the Grizzlies can be upset.
Rudy Guy is stronger than Harrison Barnes, and Ye Feng has an advantage in the No. 2 position, but neither Isaiah, Thomas, nor Cork Hinrich are in comparison with the Grizzlies' two defenders, Billups and Westbrook.
Experts believe that the Clippers still have the advantage in strength, but they cannot rule out the possibility of the Grizzlies being upset.
This time, the Clippers will not be as relaxed as last year.!~!
