    The Clippers' opponent in the semifinals, the Grizzlies, had some changes this season's lineup after the All-Star Game. They sent away the team's former core Rudy Gay in exchange for two role players and Pistons small forward Puslin.  , this transaction is a very good choice for the Grizzlies. Gay's departure freed up a considerable amount of salary space for the Grizzlies. Although Puslin is not as famous as Gay, he has the ability to attack and defend on both ends.  Neither is weaker than Guy.  More importantly, as soon as Gay left, the Grizzlies immediately established Gasol and Randolph as the new core of the team, and developed a series of tactics around them. The results were very objective.  In the first round of the playoffs, they faced off against the Nuggets, whose record was one better than the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies relied on their absolute advantage inside to narrowly defeat the Nuggets and advance to the semifinals.  The Grizzlies are also one of the few teams in the league that can compare with the Clippers in terms of interior strength.  "The same two evils, Griffin and Jordan of the Clippers are much weaker tactically than Randolph and Gasol.  Whether it is Griffin or Jordan, the offensive radius is limited to the penalty area under the basket, but Randolph and Gasol are different. Both of them have good mid-range shooting abilities, and both of them have good mid-range shooting ability.  The ability to support teammates from the mid-range is also not weak.  Although judging from the strength of the panel, the inside strength of the two teams is similar, but in terms of tactics and routines, it is obvious that the Grizzlies have a lot more options than the Clippers.  But the advantage of the Clippers lies in Wang Dapao. As long as they have Wang Dapao, the Clippers can have a certain upper hand at any time. This is something the Grizzlies have no way to do.  Especially since this season, Wang Dapao's offensive methods have become more versatile and efficient. Not only can he shoot three-pointers and breakthroughs from the outside, he is also proficient in post-up singles inside, as well as hooks and other skills.  And Wang Dapao¡¯s shooting percentage has become something that people talk about this season.  The average field goal percentage of up to 70% ranks first in the entire league. No one dares to compare with Wang Dapao in scoring efficiency.  So even though the Grizzlies have a slight advantage in the paint, people from both the outside world and the NBA agree that the Grizzlies have no chance of winning.  As usual, the first game between the two sides will be held at Staples, the home of the Clippers, which has the league's No. 1 record.  From the beginning of the game, the two teams turned the entire game into a thorough hand-to-hand battle.  ??The Grizzlies, from the coach to the players, are all very sensible.  They know that if they want to take the initiative on the court, they must take control of the inside line at all costs. Otherwise, the Clippers' luxurious outside configuration will completely tear the Grizzlies apart.  So from the beginning.  Randolph and Gasol began to play wrestling games with Griffin and DeAndre Jordan in the paint.  ¡° Four muscular men kept falling back and forth in the paint. The scene was quite shocking. Even Wang Dapao didn¡¯t want to squeeze in and join in the fun.  The fierce competition is accompanied by pressure from the referee. In order to control the rhythm of the game, the referee has to blow the whistle continuously to restrict the players' movements, but even so.  Both sides still got into trouble due to frequent excessive actions.  Griffin received a pass from Paul inside and wanted to dunk with both hands, but before he could jump up, Randolph grabbed him by the collar.  Gasol wanted to fight for the rebound. Jordan found that his position was not good, so he directly knocked Gasol out with his shoulder.  Such violent incidents occur in endlessly. If the referee's whistles were not blown frequently enough and both sides were not biased, I believe a boxing match would have already started.  Seeing this situation, Wang Dapao never thought of running to the inside to join in the fun.  If it were him before, I'm afraid he would really be in the mood to accompany them in wrestling, but now Wang Dapao is different. Especially after a full season of training in the real-life simulation system, Wang Dapao is no longer the person who knows that there are tigers in the mountains.  Those who preferred Hushanxing were stunned.  Now Wang Dapao is more accustomed to using small tricks to kill the tiger without anyone noticing.  And then what type of uphill.  Soon, Wang Dapao¡¯s little trick worked.  Standing outside the three-point line, Wang Dapao controlled the ball and directly carried Puslin's defense to force a breakthrough. Puslin, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, could not stop Wang Dapao's forced breakthrough.  But the Grizzlies had already expected this result.  When Wang Dapao broke through, Gasol used his fastest speed to make up for it and tried to double-team Wang Dapao.  In the past few times, when Wang Dapao faced this kind of double-teaming, he would choose to give the basketball to open players, or he would stop and shoot a jumper before Gasol.  But this time Wang Dapao didn¡¯t do that. He grabbed the basketball in his hand tightly.??, and rushed towards Gasol.  Seeing the menacing Wang Dapao, Gasol was obviously stunned for a moment. The game has been going on for a long time. This is the first time Wang Dapao has chosen such an action in this game.  Although he was stunned for a moment, Gasol's movements did not stop. He immediately cooperated with Puslin to double-team Wang Dapao.  But what Gasol didn¡¯t expect was that Wang Dapao was already waiting for him here.  The moment he got close to Gasol, Wang Dapao immediately stuck to Gasol's body. At the same time, he grabbed the basketball with both hands and bumped into Gasol's arm.  Gasol was shocked. He had already guessed what Wang Dapao wanted to do. He immediately wanted to put his hands behind his back, but it was already too late.  "Squeak!" The referee's whistle sounded immediately, and Gasol's face suddenly turned green.  Before wrestling with Jordan and Griffin, Gasol had already committed several fouls. This was his fourth foul. According to the current game time, in order to protect Gasol from committing six fouls,  , he must return to the bench and sit for a while.  It turns out that Wang Dapao's purpose was to cause Gasol to foul, thereby reducing the pressure on the Clippers' inside line.  The Grizzlies head coach frowned deeply, but he had to replace Gasol. After all, fierce inside battles can easily lead to fouls. If he doesn't replace Gasol now, what if Gasol will be replaced?  If he commits another foul and the number of fouls reaches 5, he will be in trouble.  Without Gasol, the pressure inside the Clippers was suddenly relieved. Although Randolph alone is very capable, he is still far behind Griffin and Jordan.  There are only two top insiders.  Gasol was taken off the field, and the substitute center who replaced him didn't play a particularly big role at all.  Moreover, after Gasol came off the court, the Grizzlies' defensive ability inside instantly dropped to a new level. Paul and Wang Dapao were able to break through without any scruples.  In this way, the Clippers' offensive rhythm was instantly opened up.  When Gasol was put back on the court with a dark face, the point difference between the two teams had reached more than 15 points.  For two teams with the same strong defense.  It is too difficult to recover a fifteen-point point difference, especially for a team like the Grizzlies that has strong defensive capabilities but slightly insufficient offensive capabilities.  ¡°Isn¡¯t this even more terrible? Not long after Gasol came on the court, his face turned green because he was fouled again.  This time it was not Wang Dapao, but Matthews.  In the Clippers, Matthews may be the least valued point in the starting lineup, but at this critical moment, Matthews suddenly appeared and gave the Grizzlies a fatal blow.  .  Although Gasol, who committed 5 fouls, is still on the court, he has become completely timid.  Facing anyone's offense, they dare not use their full strength. This is a very tragic thing. Without Gasol's strong defensive ability inside, the Grizzlies' situation has become worse.  In the end, the Clippers won the first game at home, defeating the Grizzlies.  In this game, the biggest winner is Wang Dapao. Wang Dapao has been floating on the outside throughout the game.  He rarely rushes into the inside, but the few times he rushes into the inside to score, it causes considerable damage. And when he is on the outside, Wang Dapao will spin Puslin, who is known as a first-class outside defender, even though Puslin has tall arms.  Long, he is very good at defending the perimeter, but against Wang Dapao, who has full speed and strength.  But he was still helpless.  37 points in a single game is not even Wang Dapao¡¯s highest score in recent games, but the 80% shooting rate is the highest that Wang Dapao has maintained since the playoffs. It is worth mentioning.  yes.  In this game, Wang Dapao did not reach double figures for the first time in rebounds and only scored 7 rebounds, but there is a reason for this.  Wang Dapao has basically given up fighting for defensive rebounds. Whenever the Grizzlies miss a shot, he will run wildly towards the frontcourt. Seeing Wang Dapao like this, the Grizzlies are frightened. After all, he is on the team.  The only two insiders who can resist Wang Dapao are Randolph and Gasol, so every time Wang Dapao rushes forward, Randolph and Gasol need to fight back to defend.  Where do you think about offensive rebounds?  After all, it's easy to grab offensive rebounds. If he can't grab it, Paul will most likely get the ball to Wang Dapao in the frontcourt. And Wang Dapao will be able to face the return defense of one or two defenders in all likelihood.  Able to force a basketball into the hoop.  Therefore, although Wang Dapao¡¯s rebound count has decreased, it has effectively improved the Clippers¡¯ ability to protect rebounds. This is definitely a good thing for sacrificing his own data to win the global team.  The end of the first game between the Clippers and the Grizzlies has also heralded the trend of the entire series between the two sides.In the second game, the Clippers used the same style of play, while the Grizzlies made certain changes. Because Gasol and Randolph were very careful in this game, there was no foul crisis, but  Even so, the Grizzlies still lost the game. After all, the Grizzlies did not have a strong outside player.  Although point guard Conley is a good player, his outside shooting ability is very average. Shooting guard Tony Allen is also the kind of player who defends the strong and attacks the weak. As for Puslin do you think he is better than Wang Dapao?  Can there be any waves under the defense?  In this game, the Grizzlies successfully limited the Clippers' team scoring to less than 80 points, fully demonstrating the Grizzlies' strong defensive capabilities, but unfortunately, their score was even lower.  So they still lost the second game.  The remaining two games seem even less suspenseful.  Because Wang Dapao and the coach applied, the Clippers temporarily changed the starting lineup.  In the third game, Wang Dapao appeared at the center position, while Jordan was on the bench. Instead of Wang Dapao as the small forward, it was Jia Dapao who could play both the power forward and small forward positions.  Mison.  Then Wang Dapao played the wrestling game with Gasol that Gasol had been playing with Jordan in the previous few games.  And then there is no more.  Wang Dapao defeated Gasol with hooks and fadeaway jumpers. Although Gasol tried every means to limit Wang Dapao, the effect was very poor. Not only that, after Wang Dapao appeared in the paint, the Clippers  The rebounding efficiency has also become higher.  Therefore, the Clippers won the third game faster.  People find it somewhat funny.  O'Neal, who broadcast the game live, even said bluntly that Wang Dapao didn't need to play on the outside at all. As long as he was on the inside, the level he could show was absolutely dominant. Except for his height, there was basically no difference from O'Neal's own peak.  Insider king Dapao is obviously more awesome.  Having said that, anyone who knows basketball understands it.  A Wang Dapao on the outside is more threatening than a Wang Dapao on the inside. After all, the outside can switch between offense and defense at any time. This is a very simple and easy thing for Wang Dapao with 99 speed.  Moreover, after all, the Clippers still have Jordan, who earns tens of millions per year, and is also very capable.  If Wang Dapao is asked to play inside, why would Jordan do it?  And Wang Dapao¡¯s outside ability is also not bad. The difference between playing inside and outside is not particularly big for him.  Being forced into a desperate situation by the Clippers 3:0, the Grizzlies were also anxious. It's not that they couldn't accept defeat, but it was still a bit embarrassing to sweep them?  So, game four.  The Grizzlies began to play hard, and they were already red-eyed and could really do anything on the court.  Faced with this situation, Nigro wisely chose to slow down the rhythm slightly. It would not hurt to give the Grizzlies a victory. For the Clippers, a safe victory is the best thing.  If we want to be like last year, the Clippers reached the finals, but Paul was injured and missed the championship.  That wouldn't be fun.  So when facing the Grizzlies' crazy counterattack, the Clippers still slowed down, half losing and half giving the Grizzlies a game victory.  In this way, everyone will be happy. The Grizzlies also know that winning one game is almost enough. It is impossible to complete the reversal at 3:1.  It's already pretty good if you can save some face.  It is because many Grizzlies players have this idea that the fifth game between the two sides seemed dull and not exciting at all.  ¡°Lukewarm, the Clippers won this game at home.  Successfully advanced to the finals.  The Clippers¡¯ opponent will be the winner of the Spurs and Thunder.  Unlike the Clippers who almost crushed the Grizzlies, the game between the Thunder and the Spurs was quite anxious.  After all, the two teams are of similar levels. The Spurs have a perfect tactical system and role players, while the Thunder have extremely talented players.  The two sides fought until the seventh game. In the last game, the two teams even went to overtime. Durant failed to hit the buzzer beater at the last moment, resulting in the Spurs narrowly winning by 1 point.  It has to be said that the Thunder without Harden is indeed the Thunder team that holds the title of Third Young Master. Although Martin in exchange also has a strong scoring ability, it is obviously not enough for the Thunder.  In this way, the Clippers' next round opponent has also been determined, and that is the Spurs.  For the Spurs, I believe many people have to admire it. After all, it is not an easy thing for a team to remain among the top teams in the league for more than ten years.But although I admire you, you still have to fight how you should fight.  The Clippers and the Spurs have their own strengths and weaknesses. The Spurs' tactics are richer and more varied than the Clippers, their players have far more experience than the Clippers, and they also surpass the Clippers in terms of bench strength.  But the Clippers also have their own advantages. First of all, the Clippers' players are of the right age. Secondly, the Clippers' players are all players with strong impact, which can put considerable pressure on the Spurs' zone defense.  The last and most important point is, again, the Clippers have Wang Dapao.  After all, Wang Dapao has now become a recognized BUG-level person, and his status in the world is not even that much worse than Jordan's back then, it is even more terrifying.  Any team must make targeted defensive arrangements when facing Wang Dapao, but even so, there is still no way to effectively limit Wang Dapao.  Since last season, Wang Dapao has been known for his stable and super high scores. It is rare to see Wang Dapao not feeling well, especially rarely to see Wang Dapao score less than ten points. This is already  That says it all.  In the game against the Spurs, Wang Dapao was subjected to various targeted tactics from the beginning, but the effect was as many people imagined, and it was indeed average.  Wang Dapao is really too strong, especially after the two skills of fadeaway jumper and hook are developed, even double-teaming cannot limit Wang Dapao's scoring. 99 speed, agility and strength combined with rich offense are really amazing.  It already feels a bit shameless.  Even though "bobo" Vicki racked his brains, he could only slightly restrict Wang Dapao so that his scoring would not be so terrifying.  Even so, scoring 30+ or ??even 40+ points in a game is still not particularly difficult for Wang Dapao.  In the first game against the Spurs, Wang Dapao did it.
