Chapter 677 The playoffs begin! ! ! !
This year's playoffs start on the 15th.
Therefore, the three days from the 12th to the 15th are for the players to rest and prepare for the game.
Xu Xuan's task here was completed, and he didn't squeeze himself too much. After completing the basic training every day, he spent most of his time watching the video.
Don't underestimate the video.
Each team will have professional videographers and editors. They will cut out some key points of the game, and then gather them together for the players and coaching staff to watch.
This is a very important position.
The details that a good videographer can grasp may be of great help to the team, and the salary is not low.
The playoffs are about to start.
Xu Xuan looked at it seriously, next to Frank and chief assistant Wharton Jr.
The two have a clear division of labor within the Lakers.
Frank is mainly responsible for tactics and on-the-spot deployment, while Wharton Jr. is in charge of training and all the usual arrangements.
It is not easy to be the head coach of a big team. Without the help of Walton Jr., Frank would never be able to live so easily.
Now the three are watching the first round of the Western Conference last year, the first game between the Spurs and the Grizzlies.
No way, the Lakers' opponent in the first round is the Grizzlies.
If you want to play more easily in the first round, you must study your opponent thoroughly.
After watching the edited video of the first game between the Spurs and the Grizzlies, Frank couldn't help shaking his head: "This can't be replicated. We and the Spurs have completely different styles of play."
Both Xu Xuan and Little Wharton nodded, and they could see it too.
why.
How did the Spurs beat the Grizzlies last year?
Four words, defensive counterattack!
As we all know, the Grizzlies are a strong defensive team. Their defense is very fierce, and they have an old foundation. It was declared broken, but their defensive background has not been lost. In fact, as long as Gasol is there, the Grizzlies' defense will not have any problems.
Then relatively speaking, for a team with a strong defense, the offense is generally a weakness.
Uh, except for the Spurs, of course.
And isn't it because of their strong defense and strong offense that the Spurs have survived for more than ten years?
Anyone who lacks a leg cannot make it to where he is today.
Officially because he understood, Frank said that the Spurs' record against the Grizzlies last year cannot be replicated.
Because you, the Lakers, are well-known for being a muddy defense, and you have made it to today because of your offense. If your offense is not too sharp, can you rank first in the league?
It's not bad to count down.
Therefore, the Lakers can't use the four characters "defensive counterattack" that the Spurs should use to deal with the Grizzlies.
That's the difference in the style of the team.
Frank was also worried about this.
The Lakers have been accused of poor defense for a whole season, and Frank himself knows this.
Someone said, then why did the Pacers have a dark horse counterattack last season?
What you need to know is that the Pacers' defense is not weak!
Last year's Pacers had a group of defensive champions such as Pickle, West, and Hibbert.
Both inside and outside are defensive strengths, coupled with Xu Xuan's offensive strength, there is a reason for the Pacers to win the championship. The combination of pepper, one attack and one defense, solved all the problems within a radius, and the Pacers won the championship very strongly!
The current Lakers are different.
The Pacers are a dual-core team, while the Lakers are a single-core team.
And the Lakers lineup is too young.
There are five starters, four of whom are young people, and the only one, Yi Jianlian, is not outstanding in the eyes of the American media.
No, many people are even suggesting that the Lakers replace the Pacers. Whether it is the Heat's Da Baibian, the Jazz's Gobert, or the Pistons' Zhuang Shen, they are much better than Yi Jianlian.
This is their usual view.
In fact, if Xu Xuan hadn't won the championship last season and led a bad team to No. [-] in the league this season, these people would have the same view of Xu Xuan.
It's just that they are now convinced by Xu Xuan. They don't have to admit that Xu Xuan is not good, they will be slapped in the face.
Frank and Walton Jr. looked at each other. Both of them were a little worried. They both knew the current problems of the Lakers, but they would want to solve them in a while, which was too difficult.
Moreover, in fact, the original tone set by the Lakers was to let Xu Xuan take young people like Ingram and Russell to practice for a few years. crown time.
But who ever thought that the Lakers would be number one in the league.
You can say what you want at any position. As the number one in the league, if you don't dare to say something about winning the championship, you are too useless, and you will be looked down upon by others. But if you say it, you don't know how to achieve it
Difficult!
The current Lakers are in a very embarrassing situation.
Xu Xuan naturally had to understand.
In other words, he never thought about hitting the championship this season at the beginning.
The main reason for coming to the Lakers back then was actually because of Kobe.
Kobe is about to retire, and the last request is to hope that Xu Xuan will come to the Lakers. As a strong Komi, it is difficult for Xu Xuan to refuse Kobe's request.
Otherwise, if he stays in the Pacers, he will definitely have the strength to win the championship this season.
But how should I put it? The plan cannot keep up with the changes. Now that we have reached this point, there is no need to think about other things in the future, and we can just rush forward.
The further you go, the more opportunities you have!
This is also the reason why he attaches so much importance to the progress of the task.
Now the Lakers are too lacking in hard power. Xu Xuan can fight with LeBron, Durant, and Curry, but the others obviously lack some strength.
And for a while, it is a bit unrealistic to want Ingram, Russell, Randall and others to be his right-hand men.
Therefore, if the Lakers want to go on and improve their space, they can only rely on Xu Xuan himself!
How far the Lakers can go depends on how strong Xu Xuan is!
Now it's that easy!
Xu Xuan took a deep breath, looked at Frank and Wharton Jr., and said, "It's useless to think too much for now. I don't think we should panic right now. We won the Grizzlies three times in the regular season, and we won all three games, which means we are against him. There are still advantages, otherwise we wouldn’t have won so much.”
In this regard, Frank and Wharton are both deeply convinced.
It's not that they just worry about how to beat the Grizzlies. They are mainly scared by the Lakers' "future prospect".
As for the Grizzlies alone, Flacco and Walton Jr. are still confident as the number one in the league, not to mention, during the regular season, the Lakers had a precedent of winning all three games against the Grizzlies.
After Xu Xuan said this, Frank and Wharton stopped entangled, and began to concentrate on studying the tactics against the Grizzlies immediately.
The alliance was undercurrent for a while.
Most of those who did not make the playoffs began to enter the holiday rhythm.
For example, Lillard of the Trail Blazers.
Director Li felt that he really had a beep this year.
He didn't even make it to the playoffs, what anguish he felt.
And the depression in my heart was replaced by action performance-almost every day, Director Li would post a message on Twitter, complaining about why the Blazers didn't make the playoffs.
Why didn't you make the playoffs?
You are mentally unclear!
No one has a good record.
The record is not as good as others, and you will definitely not have a share in the playoffs.
Xu Xuan ignored him at first.
The main reason is that Li Guidance is known for his extremely arrogant personality, and Xu Xuan naturally knows it too.
The second is that your Lakers have entered the playoffs as the No. [-] in the regular season. There is really no need to battle with a team that did not make the playoffs.
However, Director Li didn't have anyone to battle with him, so he was not very happy, and he took the initiative to ask for fuck!
What do you say on Twitter, the Grizzlies will be taken away by the Lakers 4-0, but if they are the Blazers, the Lakers will definitely lose!
Check it out!
Check it out!
What does this say.
He actually offended two of them at once!
First, he offended the Grizzlies, saying that he was a lottery coin, and was taken away 4-0, and then slammed the Lakers, saying that the Lakers were not their one-on-one enemies. This language art, old hermaphrodite!
Xu Xuan just laughed out of anger.
True.
Your guidance is very strong.
You guide the big heart, the famous lore madman.
But you didn't even make the playoffs, who gave you the courage to ridicule the number one in the league?
Xu Xuan didn't understand.
He was not polite at the moment, and directly wrote a sentence on Twitter: I hope to witness Damian next year, I will look forward to that scene, of course, next year!
Xu Xuan said the word "next year" twice, focusing on the description!
What do you mean?
It means, stop beeping, beeping is useless, you are not qualified to compete with me, you are so stupid!
Want to find fault?
Well, waiting for you next year!
It's a shame if you don't make the playoffs next year.
I said I'm not polite, but I'm not polite!
Li Guidance?
Who are you!
Still want to touch porcelain!
Xu Xuan has never held back against these people, just like anyone who is not a hermaphrodite.
As soon as Xu Xuan's words came out, it immediately went on the hot search, and many people who had been ridiculed by Lillard before felt very happy.
What can Lillard say? He's a bit stubborn, and he doesn't have a brain in his words. If you care about him, you won't get anything if you win, and it's not beautiful if you lose. So most of them are in my heart. I am very upset That's it.
Furthermore, many people know that Lillard is really strong, and they don't have the confidence to reply.
But Xu Xuan is different.
Xu Xuan has the strength and identity to go against him.
Are you not satisfied?
Their achievements are indeed higher than yours!
Why don't you accept it?
If you don't accept it, you have to come up with a reason.
Lillard was also pissed off.
But as I said just now, there is nothing wrong with Xu Xuan's words.
They didn't scold you, they didn't talk about you, they just look forward to meeting you next year, so you have to work hard, try to make it to the playoffs next year, otherwise, wouldn't you lose your lord?
Lillard is one-sided, but he's not stupid.
It was he who went up to touch the porcelain first, and was beaten back with reason and evidence. He had no choice but to sulk.
I can only grit my teeth and hate, next year, next season, I must make the playoffs, and I must make the Lakers look good!
This feeling of hating others but not being able to touch others is so frightfully uncomfortable!
Not to mention Xu Xuan and Lillard's sarcasm.
Since April 4th, these few days seem to pass quickly, because the playoffs have already begun!
May 4st!
NBA2016-2017 season playoffs start! ! !
On the first day, there are four games to be played.
In the opening game, the Pacers will play against the Cavaliers.
Home of the Knights.
As the opening game of this season's playoffs, the two teams played very fiercely.
Both Pickle Pepper and James' playing time soared to 40+, and the old man's playing time even reached 43 minutes!
You must know that the whole game lasted only 48 minutes, and the old man played for 43 minutes, that is to say, the old man only rested for 5 minutes in this game!
This playing time is kind of scary.
The final score was also quite thrilling, 108 to 109. Although the Pacers lost, they only lost by 1 point. When they were 105 to 109 and trailed by 4 points, Paojiao scored a three-pointer and directly chased the point difference to 1. point.
But it is a pity that in the end, CJ Miles failed to make a mid-range shot, and the lore failed. The Pacers could swallow the defeat.
But although the Cavaliers won, Xu Xuan and Frank still found some problems with the Cavaliers.
Tyronn Lue used two lineups throughout the game, one was the starting lineup, and the other was James, Deron, Frye, Shumpert, and Korver.
The real killer is the second team led by James. This lineup played the entire second quarter.However, the performance limitations of the starting lineup are obvious. There are too many singles. For example, the Cavaliers' zero assists in the first quarter can reflect this problem.In this game, Irving basically scored all his points in singles. Although his shooting percentage is not bad, his efficiency is actually not good. Generally, when Irving gets the ball, he knows that he is going to play singles, and the other four can only watch. .
But this proposition is contradictory. Often when a team reaches the most critical moment, its background can be fully reflected. For example, in the last 4 minutes of the Eastern Conference finals last year, the Cavaliers' offense was the Big Three singles.
And in the finals, when the Pacers faced the Warriors, they could still see constant pick-and-rolls, penetrations, and screens.
This is the difference in the background of the team. Normally, this model of the Warriors is more reasonable and should win the game.
But pay attention, this is the finals, the score is stalemate, and in the last 4 minutes, when these keywords are put together, you can't look at this issue from a conventional perspective. In one sentence: this kind of moment is a superstar stage.
Yes, in this case, whether the shot is reasonable or not is no longer important. Only a real superstar can score the ball at such a moment. For an ordinary star, even if he is given an open space at this time, it is difficult for him Sure, so, the singles at the critical moment are fine, but if Irving operates like this, the overall integrity of the Cavaliers will obviously be much worse. The Big Three alone can win, but you can’t always score 100 points with the Big Three above?
