    115 to 83, the Clippers defeated the Grizzlies by a big score on the road and regained the home court advantage.

    ? Originally, people thought the game was a bit suspenseful, but now the suspense is gone.  In the second game, the Clippers just missed their outside shots. As long as they find the feeling, it will be difficult for the Grizzlies to beat.  And the Clippers' insiders have the advantage.

    Blake Griffin dunked on Pau Gasol many times, playing passionately, but in terms of efficiency, Pau Gasol was higher.

    When talking about Gasol, Dwight Howard said: "I don't think Pau Gasol is a softie. He is a very strong person in the interior and his style of play is full of wisdom. He is not at all  Weak, I've played against him many times. Yes, you can say he's too soft or whatever, but he has a championship ring and helped the Clippers sweep us last season and get a championship ring.  You can't play weak and still win a championship."

    Last season, Gasol really left a deep impression on people in the finals, and he did not suffer against Howard.

    Marc Gasol, who scored 23 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks, also received high praise.  Experts believe that it will be difficult for Gasol to surpass his brother, but he has already demonstrated the strength of a star center. As long as he is given enough time to perform, he can perform well and with high efficiency.  His current strength can also rank in the top 10 in the NBA center list, and his potential is still great. After all, his main contribution is on defense. He takes few shots on the offensive end and has not yet fully utilized his strength.

    Love¡¯s absence has not affected the Clippers too much. I wonder what Love feels like.  He looked very relaxed while sitting next to the bench in a suit, chatting and laughing with Paris Hilton.

    Ye Feng made 11 of 16 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 30 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists.  Entering the playoffs, his efficiency per 40 minutes was higher than in the regular season, unmatched.

    The fourth game was still held in Memphis, and the Clippers won again 103 to 89.  The total score was 3-1 to achieve match point, completely cutting off the Grizzlies' hope of advancing.

    The Clippers still adopted a compressed defense, shrinking the inside line and forcing the Grizzlies players to shoot jumpers from the outside.  Billups' three-pointer is relatively sure.  But as soon as he came up, the Clippers took advantage of his height advantage to attack him in a misplaced position, which made him very uncomfortable.  Ye Feng showed his full power as a point guard.

    Except for Billups, the Grizzlies' guards are mainly breakthrough types. Tony Allen and Bayless go inside to look for shots. Rudy Gay performed well in the first two games, but Ye Feng attacked him this time.  He took strict precautions and reduced his efficiency.  Guy only scored 13 points in the game.

    The Clippers won the victory by relying on defense. They played very steadily on the offensive end, controlled the rhythm of positional battles, and the speed of returning to defense was also guaranteed.  After all, Thibodeau is a coach who values ??defense. As long as you are under him, even if you are not physically fit, your defensive awareness can be improved a lot. If it cannot be improved.  For example, Jeremy Lamb can be on the bench.  Ye Feng's drop in scoring in the playoffs has a lot to do with his hard work on the defensive end.

    May 12th.  The Clippers, who returned home, were determined to win and did not want to waste energy in Memphis again.

    There was a brief regular season MVP trophy presentation ceremony before the game, and David Stern came to Los Angeles again.  Ye Feng raised his MVP trophy high, and the audience burst into cheers.  Thousands of fans excitedly shouted "mvp!"

    "It's him again!" This was the first sentence of Stern's speech. He was smiling and very satisfied with Ye Feng as a spokesperson.  All the fans burst into laughter.  Stern continued: "At this time last year, I remember he said that he would continue to win the MVP this year and lead the team to win the championship. I thought it was very possible at the time. Now we all see how radiant he is. This is amazing  What a great season. We are very happy to see what this great Clippers team and their leader Ye Feng have achieved! To win the MVP four times in a row, he is the first person in NBA history!"

    The first person in history, this is an incredible evaluation, and all the fans cheered loudly.

    Stern waved his hand for silence and added: "In the past, I was always worried that some players were under tremendous pressure when they were too young. They need to be specially protected. But we can see that Ye Feng is different. He is young and mature, and he works with the team.  Continuously growing, his performance deserves all the praise and recognition, and he is also willing to take responsibility and pressure. At the same time, we are also pleased to see that in the past few years, more and more young players in the league have continued to grow and gradually become  The backbone of the team. I hope he can continue to achieve good results in the future.¡±

    Ye Feng won the MVP again, which is what everyone expects.  Except for some idiots who are dissatisfied with his recent choice to pass the ball even though he has the ability to score points, players all think that Ye Feng is the best template for becoming a star. Durant and Batum have publicly stated that they want to learn from Ye Feng's play.  Law.

    Ye Feng¡¯s acceptance speech was as simple as ever.  "Thank you to my teammates and the fans. At this time next year, I hope it will still be me."

    Awarding ceremony for the ClippersTeam morale is high.  Fans didn't spare any effort in cheering for the Clippers.

    Ye Feng started as the point guard, mainly defending Westbrook, and the defense was a 32 zone defense. This made it easier for the Clippers to launch a fast break.  As long as the Grizzlies miss a shot and the Gasol brothers grab the rebound, Ye Feng and Harrison can go down quickly.

    As long as Ye Feng holds the ball and rushes up, it is difficult to defend against strong attacks, and he likes to bump into people to find fouls. This is something he learned from Kobe.  When moving at high speed, it is difficult for the opponent to stay in position, causing him to hit someone with the ball, which is a foul.  Westbrook and Tony Allen were unable to do anything to Ye Feng after they were mismatched, and were quickly beaten.

    Once on the bench, the Grizzlies defense is even worse.  Their No. 2 player is not tall. As long as Tony Allen is not there, Billups will have to play a guest role. Billups is older and it is difficult to defend the defender, let alone Ye Feng?

    The Clippers took a 17-point lead at halftime, and Ye Feng took charge of the attack and scored 26 points.

    In the third quarter, Ye Feng and Thornton cooperated in pick-and-roll, and after mismatching, they scored 15 points with sudden shots. Their personal score was 40+, sealing the victory in one fell swoop.  He was replaced after playing 3 minutes in the fourth quarter, waiting to celebrate promotion with his teammates.

    Ye Feng finished the game with 45 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.  While winning, his number of 40+ games in the playoffs reached 11, surpassing Allen Iverson's ten times and tying Rockets star Olajuwon.  This is a landmark record, and he is already the player with the most 40+ games in the current playoffs.

    Marcus Thornton also performed well, scoring 21 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. In the past few games, the Clippers mainly relied on inside offense. Today, they suddenly changed their style of play, which ruined the Grizzlies' pre-game plan.  Spreading the formation and letting Thornton and Ye Feng take the main attack had obvious effects.  Thornton's shooting percentage has been around 40%. He made 8 of 15 shots this time and found his touch.

    The Grizzlies can only continue to work hard next season. Now the Clippers feel like the American Dream Team playing international games. Beating them is a hero.

    The match between the Spurs and the Mavericks has also been decided.  The Mavericks advanced 4-1 and met the Clippers in the Western Conference Finals.

    The Spurs' defeat was due to multiple factors such as lineup gaps and aging stars.

    In the regular season, in addition to Tony Parker, the Spurs' "gdp combination", Duncan and Ginobili played less than 30 minutes. Entering the playoffs, in order to win, especially against a team with outstanding bench depth and starting lineup.  The playing time of the Dallas Mavericks and Spurs "gdp combination" has increased to 39 minutes per game.  This is a great test for the veteran's physical strength.

    Duncan surpassed DeAndre Jordan in terms of skill and awareness, but he was far behind in terms of physical strength.  Jordan played 40 minutes and was still running like flying, alley-oop dunks. Duncan played 40 minutes and no one was able to defend the basket and he scored off the board.

    Deron Williams is also the type that Tony Parker has trouble with. He has a strength advantage. The two have their own characteristics and basically compete with each other.

    In the 4th position, the Spurs cannot let their usual starter DeJuan Blair play. This power forward, whose actual height is only 196cm, will only be exposed against Nowitzki, who is in declining condition.  The Brazilian Thiago Split also had no advantage against Nowitzki.  As for Green and Leonard, they are only half as good compared to Vince Carter and Marion, with no advantage at all.

    Compared with the substitute Spurs, they are definitely no match for the Mavericks, especially the inside line.  Duncan couldn't be substituted. As soon as he came off, the inside line was immediately blown to pieces by Kaman and Brand.  In the contest with Darren Collison, Ginobili also had no advantage. His condition has seriously declined and he can no longer be called a star.

    At the beginning of the season, the Mavericks also sent Seraphim in exchange for the Raptors' Rinas Kleiza to strengthen the forward line. It can be said that the configuration is very reasonable and there are no obvious weaknesses.

    The Spurs' disadvantage is not just a player problem. The most important point is that they are not a rich team. In fact, their owner Pete Holt is the poorest owner in the NBA.

    In 2003, the Spurs had the 28th pick in the first round. They selected Barbosa, but immediately traded the Brazilian to the Suns. They also missed the next Duncan alumnus, Josh Howard.  Afterwards, Vicki was furious at team general manager Buford, and Duncan also expressed to the media that he was very unhappy because they all foresaw that Howard was the kind of player the Spurs needed most and would definitely make the All-Star team in the future.

    In 2007, when the Spurs won the championship, Buford admitted in an interview that the reason why he did not retain Barbosa and not select Howard was to save money. He also said, "After I die, please  Put the names Barbosa and Howard on my tombstone."

    Of course, Buford¡¯s ¡°tombstone¡± will probably have the names of Scola and Dragic added to it.  The Spurs trade Scola to the Rockets.  The San Antonio media once ridiculed owner Holt's stinginess, saying that he replaced the best player outside the NBA, but all he got was a pack of diapers.  As for virtueLazic, he has now become the latest heartache for Spurs fans.

    It was expected that the Spurs would reach this point of despair. A stingy team will not always have good luck.  !  ~!
