Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    If a team wants to compete for the championship, in addition to having a good lineup of players and coaching staff, another important factor is the team doctor.  The Spurs, Suns, and Clippers have good team doctors.  Bad examples include the Rockets, Trail Blazers, Timberwolves, etc.  After Ariel took power, the Clippers immediately spent high salaries to hire a brand new medical team with a good reputation in the industry.  If you have to face the situation of a battalion full of injured soldiers, no matter how strong the lineup is, it will be difficult to win the championship.

    Grant Hill had a second spring in the Suns that year. After joining the Timberwolves, the Wolves were immediately finished. He almost didn't even play a game this season and has been on the injured list. It's almost time to retire in the summer.  As for Jermaine O'Neal, who had been seriously injured many times and was almost a marginal player, once he arrived in the Suns, his attendance rate was guaranteed, and he averaged 30 minutes of rebounds per game, vaguely retaining the elegance of the year.

    The Clippers team doctors are not bad either, allowing people with a history of injuries such as Perry Jones and Kirk Hinrich to play safely for a season.  It's just that the team doctor can't do anything about Marcus Thornton's situation. Thornton has also missed dozens of games this season.

    Some injuries are unpreventable. Before the excitement of sweeping the Golden State Warriors passed, the Clippers suddenly encountered disaster. Inside general Love was injured.

    Love has always had a floor-playing style. He can shoot jumpers and never go inside. He can shoot off the board and never dunk. To say how he was injured is bizarre.  While doing push-ups during training, he accidentally twisted his hand inwards and fractured his palm

    as big as World, nothing is nonexistent.  For example, some old teeth fell out until only one was left, and they could stuff their teeth (eating lotus root stuffing) when eating. It is not uncommon for Love to get injured. It can only be blamed on his back.

    As soon as the Clippers announced Love's injury, the Clippers' competitors were all happy, and the hope of defeating the Clippers came.

    There is also a debate on the Internet. Some people believe that Love's injury was not caused by training.  But because something was smashed.  There are also some rumors that he actually beat up some fans or friends, and he has a very rich imagination.  Love gave an interview to clarify these rumors.  The injury was described as a very rare accident.

    Love will be absent for at least 6 weeks, and the season has ended early.  In the first round of the series, he played at the level of a superstar, which was a little bit sad at the same time.  After the injury, Love contacted Ye Feng immediately and came to apologize. If the Clippers lose the championship because of this, he believes that he will bear the greatest responsibility.

    Ye Feng, however, had no reason to blame Love. He only said that having the Gasol brothers and Perry Jones on the inside would make up for his vacancy to a certain extent.  I will also work harder.

    In fact, without Love, the Clippers are equivalent to missing a stable double-double player. The loss can be imagined.  This makes their road to defending the title more difficult.  Although the Clippers are strong.  But they also lost many games in the regular season.  Teams such as the Nets, Heat, Mavericks, and Grizzlies are all capable of competing with them. If there was a three-point chance of winning, it has now risen to 50%.

    After seeing Love off, Ye Feng sat on the sofa and sighed. There were many newcomers in the team.  Defending the title was already stressful, but now it's even more troublesome.  The newcomers performed well in the first round, but entering the finals, it is difficult to perform well.  If you want to win, you have to change your style of play. He and the Gasol brothers must increase their playing time.

    Ariel sighed: "You have to calm down and stop being depressed. We have won three consecutive championships. Even if we lose this season, it doesn't matter."

    Ye Feng smiled bitterly and said: "Do you think it will be difficult for us to win the championship?"

    Ariel shook her head and said softly: "With you here. The Clippers must still have the ability to win the championship, but you must be a little tired, right? Listening to what you and Kevin said, I know that you have to play like the regular season again.  ¡±

    Ye Feng smiled slightly.  "You really know me."

    Ye Feng and Pau Gasol can play a triangle offense, combining inside and outside.  Ye Feng must take more shots. Although Jones can shoot three-pointers, his rebounding skills cannot be compared with Love.  The defense is not very good. Not surprisingly, Ye Feng has to play the 4th position to strengthen the pick-and-roll defense and fight for rebounds in the backcourt.  After Josh Smith left, the Clippers' rebounding has been weaker than last season.

    Ye Feng is still confident that the Clippers will reach the finals. He is also preparing to get a few more 40+ points in this playoffs and move towards a new record.

    After chatting about basketball for a while, Ye Feng and Ariel went to see the baby together. The little boy slept all the time when he was not eating. He often cried when he was awake and didn¡¯t understand anything.

    Ariel said: "I am really conflicted now. I hope that time will go by faster and we can listen to our children talking to us, but I am also afraid that time will go by too fast and we will grow old."

    Ye Feng did not have such emotion. He was reborn from the age of 30 to 19. Now he is not as old as he used to be, so naturally he doesn't feel uncomfortable. These days are like picking up for nothing. When he thinks about the past and looks back at the present, he feels special.  Contentment.

    Ariel also said that she doesn¡¯t want her children to play basketball and become players.  If you like basketball, you will directly become the boss in the future. Playing basketball is not free and too tiring.  SheAlthough he didn't say it clearly, Ye Feng could tell that Ariel wanted to spend more time traveling with him instead of focusing on work.  He secretly vowed not to play too many seasons and retire when he can no longer run and his statistics decline.

    The winners of other games were also determined one after another.

    The Eastern Nets swept the Magic 4-0. This series has always been one-sided. The Nets won very easily, and they dominated every position.  If the Magic want to become a championship contender, they need to further strengthen their lineup.

    I heard that the Nets are the happiest after the Clippers lost Love. They are confident of reaching the finals and competing with the Clippers.

    The Heat swept the Bulls 4-0. The Bulls fought fiercely in every game and were leading in both home games. Unfortunately, they lacked a super scorer who could grab points at critical moments and were unable to turn their advantage into a victory in the fourth quarter.  .  Boozer and Luol Deng are outstanding, but they are still one step away from becoming superstars. Joakim Noah also did not take 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 has been able to stand up and dominate the game with points in the fourth quarter. He is the well-deserved core of the team.  The statistics are still comprehensive, averaging 7 rebounds and assists per game. He is recognized as a person with personal abilities comparable to Ye Feng, but his style of play is selfless and it is difficult to win the scoring title.

    The Heat's weaknesses are as obvious as their strengths. After Mayo left, their ability to grab points from the bench became weaker.  Dwyane Wade's condition has declined significantly, and center Dalembert's performance is also very poor. It is still unknown whether he will stay on the team next season.  Chandler Parsons can only serve as a substitute, and the Heat still mainly rely on Chris Bosh inside. Such a lineup will be difficult to win against the Nets.

    The biggest upset in the Eastern Conference was the 76ers' 4-1 elimination of the New York Knicks.

    Nash and Anthony led the Knicks to win an away game, avoiding the embarrassment of being swept.  The team has never been able to go further in the playoffs, and the team is determined to rebuild.  Their first priority in the summer is to trade Amare Stoudemire out of the team, and they don't even want to keep Nash.  Nash's passing power is still there and his statistics are good, but with him around, the Knicks' defense has holes.  The Knicks spend a lot of money every year to attract stars and strengthen their lineup, but they are unable to truly become a strong team. Their patience is almost worn out.

    The 76ers were happy to send Iguodala for Bynum. This was a very smart 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 no match.

    In the Western Conference, led by Deron Williams and Dirk Nowitzki, the Mavericks swept the Rockets 4-0.  The Mavericks' pick-and-roll coordination is one of the best in the league.  The Rockets, who also play pick-and-roll tactics, lack someone who is good at attacking with the ball. Kevin Martin also mainly shoots.  Returning to the playoffs, the Rockets couldn't 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 bad luck of being swept. However, Scola will be one year older next season, plus Ibaka and Pascal.  It is also very difficult for Kings to rise due to his junk contract. Durant is doomed to be unlucky if he only supports the Thunder.

    The final winner is the Grizzlies vs. Nuggets.  After the two sides tied at 2-2, the Grizzlies won at home with a 14-point advantage and gained match point.  In Game 6 against the Nuggets away from home, Westbrook was in great shape. He and Gortat teamed up to limit Chris Paul, allowing Paul to only score 8 points and 9 assists.  Paul also has a history of injuries and cannot play too much. After playing a few games, his condition has problems. The Grizzlies' starting five are all stars, and several people can stand up and make a difference in every game.

    The people who performed well in this game were Chauncey Billups and Rudy Gay, both of whom shot from the outside.  Billups made 6 of 9 three-pointers and Gay made 4 of 8, both in the first half.  These 10 three-pointers helped the Grizzlies gain a large lead in the first half. Although the Nuggets were very energetic at home and desperately chased points in the second half, they were unable to recover.

    The matchup list for the second round has been arranged, Clippers vs. Grizzlies, Spurs vs. Mavericks.  Nets vs. Celtics, Heat vs. 76ers.

    The Grizzlies and Clippers have met several times in the playoffs, and they are well-known old rivals. The confrontation between Love and Griffin was originally a highlight. Now that Love is injured, the Grizzlies suddenly have an advantage at the 4th position.  Gortat has also performed well this season, and his center ranks among the top ten. Whether he can take advantage of Marc Gasol is the key to the Grizzlies' upset.

    Rudy Gay is stronger than Harrison Barnes, and Ye Feng has an advantage at the 2nd position, but neither Isiah Thomas nor Kirk Hinrich can compete with the Grizzlies' two at the 1st position.  Compared with guards Billups and Westbrook.

    Experts believe that the Clippers still have the upper hand, but they do not rule out the possibility of an upset for the Grizzlies.

    This time, the Clippers will not be as relaxed as last year.  !  ~!
