The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

On April 4, the first round of this season's playoffs began, and the first day of the first four contests took place.

The Burning West also did not change the nature of the regular season, and the first game was an upset.

Bearing the brunt of this is the battle between the best point guard in the West and the best point guard.

The Los Angeles Lakers led by Kobe Bryant sit at home against the Hornets led by Paul.

Although the Hornets stumbled all the way this season, the conflict between Paul and the management and head coach Scott was almost written on his face, and his strength was not as good as before, but in the end he still made it to the playoffs relying on Paul's personal strength.

I have to say that Chris Paul is still very kind to the Hornets, at least he didn't play badly with such a bad lineup. He averaged 43 minutes per game, which is already the best respect for his old club.

Moreover, Paul's personal strength during this period was really strong enough, with fewer injuries, and he was aggressive in front of him, which made him rank in the top ten in scoring, assists, and steals. And well deserved.

But Paul is strong, no one really thinks that he can lead the current Hornets to complete the black seven, right?

Their opponents are not fishy. Even if the Lakers are not as good as last season, they are still skinny camels are bigger than horses. As the third favorite to win the championship this season, many people are optimistic about the Lakers to solve the Hornets in four games. After all, in the regular season The Hornets failed to win even one game.

However, this is the NBA, and face slaps are the norm.

In the first game at Staples, Paul proved that although he played dirty, he was really fierce.

In the whole game, although Kobe scored 34 points, Paul scored an even better 33 points and 14 assists, 17 of which came from the last quarter, and led the Hornets to score in double figures. In the end, the Hornets defeated the Lakers in an away upset with a score of 109-100 and won the first victory of the series.

"Old Yu was numb..." This was the only emotion Zuo Li expressed after watching the video. I have to say that after Lao Yu got old, the Lakers' point guard line was the biggest shortcoming, and Blake's level was really strong. Can't get up.

If the game continues like this, the Lakers' idea of ​​seeking revenge from the Knicks in the Finals may still be difficult to realize.

However, the Lakers who lost in an upset were not alone. Just one day later, the Spurs ahead of him were killed by the eighth Grizzlies in the Western Conference at home!

Before the start of the game, no one thought that the Grizzlies would win, even if Ginobili was absent due to injury... After all, the last time the Grizzlies won the playoffs dates back to the last century, when Joe was still ruling What about the alliance.

In the last big Canadian era, the Grizzlies broke into the playoffs several times, but they swallowed 12 eggs and didn't win a game.

Before the game, Spurs fans said: "We are already studying the opponents in the second round."

Some radical Spurs fans said: "When Dajia is at the helm, you can't win. Don't you think it's okay to change your younger brother? No, no!"

The result can be...

"This is the Spurs!

? ? "

This is the cry from the Spurs fans after watching the game, accompanied by trance, dizziness, and rapid heartbeat.

... In this game, the Spurs did establish an advantage at the beginning, but the final result was that the Grizzlies achieved a big reversal in the fourth quarter!

Jefferson scored a layup at the beginning of the last quarter, and the Spurs gained a 6-point advantage. Arthur's offensive foul hit the Grizzlies again. Just 2 minutes into the fourth quarter, many people thought that the Grizzlies were gone.

However, at this time, the much-maligned Mayo stepped forward, made a three-pointer, attacked inside, scored 5 points in a row, and directly blew the horn of the Grizzlies' counterattack!

Insider Stoudemire scored 6 points in a row with the support of Conley. The Grizzlies' strategy of attacking the insiders finally paid off. After the 15-7 attack climax, the Grizzlies overtook the score 85-83.

Spurs defender Hill made a fast break after stealing the ball and made two free throws. The two teams tied at 1 in the last 24 minute and 85 seconds.

At the critical moment, Mayo stood up again!

He made an emergency stop and hit a three-pointer, but the Spurs Neal missed a three-pointer. Parker got the rebound and made a breakthrough, but was rewarded with a cap by Gasol Jr.!

And the most deadly thing is that in the last 30 seconds, Duncan, who hit Stoudemire inside and made a key foul, missed two key free throws!

The Grizzlies stopped the Spurs with a key 7-0 offensive.

At the last moment, the Spurs still had a chance. Bonner's three-pointer allowed the Spurs to catch up with two points. After the timeout, Parker stole Conley's key goal, and then he was fouled and stood on the free throw line, and then!

!

Boom!

Another two missed free throws!

Popovich puts on pain mask...

At this time, it is estimated that all the Spurs fans who should be hospitalized have already been admitted.

After failing to make four free throws in a row, the Grizzlies accepted the gift with a smile, 101-98. The Spurs became the second Western powerhouse to be upset after the Lakers!

Although after the game, Popovich said that they will stabilize their mentality, and the outside world is still optimistic that they can advance in the end, but on the championship list, they have been overtaken by the Bulls and the Heat who easily passed the first game.

Zuo Li, who is familiar with history, was not surprised by this result. Although Battier and Randolph of the Grizzlies were cut off by the Knicks, Stoudemire and Tony Allen were not bad. More importantly, the Grizzlies were not too strong. The Spurs' physical problems have reached a point where they cannot be resolved.

Parker and Duncan usually shoot more than 80% of their free throws, and they are never soft on key shots, but they missed key free throws tonight. Either they have regressed a lot, or their lack of physical fitness has caused the shape of their hands to change.

This is what Zuo Li knew after facing the Spurs in the first game of the regular season.

"So...the Spurs are really likely to continue to be hacked this year." Zuo Li touched his chin after watching the game. Is this the power of history?

However, this may be an opportunity!

A chance to make the Knicks more cohesive!

Of course, the Spurs are not without the opportunity to break the fate of history. If Manu can return healthy, the Spurs still have a great chance. However, from the fact that Popovich talked about other aspects for a long time, he kept silent about Ginobili’s injury. ...

"The Spurs are gone." Zuo Li said decisively to his teammates in the locker room.

The teammates are all confused, what do you mean?The Spurs are about to be hacked! ?

"Boss... this is the first game, shouldn't it be?" Curry asked cautiously, the first game stumbles are still very common in the playoffs, and sometimes strong teams will relax a bit, resulting in being upset , and the following plot is often that the strong team adjusts quickly and then wins the game.

For example, although the Lakers lost the first game, almost no one thought that the Hornets could advance.

How come the Spurs were sentenced to death...

He thinks the Spurs have a chance to reach the finals!

"Too young, isn't it? Although the Spurs and the Lakers both lost, the difference between losing and losing is obviously different. The Lakers are more because they were too relaxed. Except for Kobe, everyone else didn't play well."

"But the Spurs have tried their best to play! Duncan played 45 minutes and Parker played 44 minutes. Do they still have room? Even Bonner played! But they can't win. This is a very dangerous signal!"

"So, don't think that a good record in the regular season is enough. If you don't eliminate your opponent, you can never take it lightly!" Zuo Li said.

At this moment, he is very grateful for the negative teaching materials sent by the Lakers and the Spurs.

After Zuo Li finished speaking, everyone was thoughtful...
