Chapter 127 Black Eight Miracles(2/2)
The Bobcats, the No. 1 in the offensive league in the regular season, once again defeated the 76ers without any suspense, and the series went 2-0.
After the g2 game, the Lakers and Spurs, who were upset in the first round, each scored a goal, and the Celtics and the Magic tied 1-1. The remaining side that had the upper hand won the 2-0 series score.
Next is the g3 round of the series -
Spurs vs. Grizzlies, Lao Qiao and Li Ke sat together again.
There was no change in this game. On the Spurs, Manu continued to replace George Hill to start.
But Lan Pang and Xiao Jia recovered, one scored 25 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, and the other scored 17 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block.
The Spurs' inside line was beaten again, but in this game, they relied on Manu's explosion.
At the last moment of the final quarter, Lan Pang scored a three-pointer to secure the victory.
In this way, the Grizzlies led 2-1.
After watching the game, Lao Qiao touched his chin and pondered, and then suddenly said: "Or what I should transfer to you the 20,000 US dollars as a bet first?"
Li Ke smiled and said, "Yes."
"Can?"
Old Qiao raised his tone, "Are you so confident?"
"It's not confidence, it's me who believe in the grizzly bear..."
Indeed, when the series hits G3, the hardness of the Grizzlies is beyond doubt. The double towers of Xiao Jia and Lan Pang are a mountain that lies in front of the Spurs.
In this gradually smaller league, the Grizzlies' double towers seem a bit unconventional.
But it is precisely this unconventional that has played many teams hard to deal with.
Take the Bobcat as an example. Jordan Jordan may be able to withstand Xiao Jia, but Lan Pang is the point that the Bobcat cannot handle.
In today's league, not only are centers scarce, but excellent power forwards are also very few.
Otherwise, why are there so many No. 3 players playing in No. 4?
In the Boncats' G3 battle, Doug Collins replaced Spencer Hawyth again.
The end of the game still remains unchanged, and the Bobcats continued to win the third victory of the series with a clear advantage.
...
One day later, Li Ke, who had received $20,000, no longer sat with Lao Qiao. He asked a physiotherapist to do physical health care for the playoffs.
Then, I received a call from Lao Qiao—
"It's over, the Spurs are completely finished!"
The Spurs are finished, with a score of 86 to 104, and they lost a full 18 points in the g4 game.
But Lan Pang only scored 11 points and 9 rebounds, while Xiao Jia only scored 9 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks.
The Spurs' outside defense suddenly collapsed...
Li Ke said that this was expected.
Since Bruce Bowen retired, the Spurs have been missing a defensive gate on the outside.
For this reason, the Spurs made a big move to get Richard Jefferson. As a result, the former Nets All-Star dropped sharply as soon as he arrived at the Spurs.
r.c. Buford's operational ability is more like a blow-up, and Richard Jefferson is everything he can do.
So, in the past two seasons, Popovich had to bite the bullet and continue using Richard Jefferson until...
In the 11th draft, the Spurs used the draft picks exchanged by George Hill to choose Kawhi Leonard.
Now, there is no Bowen and no Leonard, an outside trio composed of Tony Parker, Manu and Richard Jefferson. He persisted until G4 before being beaten up. It is already the "kindness" of Guy and Mayo.
The next day, the BBQ vs. 76ers' G4 game was still based on defense and suppressed the whole game. The Bobcats won the fourth victory of the series with great steadily.
In this way, they swept 76 people with a total score of 4 to 0.
The Eastern Conference semi-final opponent, the winner of the Celtics vs Magic, is far from the time to decide.
...
The follow-up of the Spurs vs. Grizzlies—
g5, the Spurs returned to home and scored a hard time back, and the victory in this game came from the outbreak of Manu who scored 33 points and Tony Parker who scored 24 points.
But G6, Lan Pang scored 33 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, while Xiao Jia scored 12 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks.
The two towers exerted their strength, with a total score of 4 to 2, and the Grizzlies completed the Black Eight Miracle...
