Chapter 675: The playoffs begin! ! ! !

This year's playoffs, the start time is on the 15th.
Therefore, the three days from the 12th to the 15th are for the players to rest and prepare.
Xu Xuan did not overly squeeze himself when the task was completed. After completing the basic training every day, he spent most of the time watching the video.
Don't underestimate the video.
Each team will have professional video and editors, who will cut out some key points of the game, and then gather them for the players and the 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 will begin soon.
Xu Xuan took it seriously, and Frank and the chief assistant Wharton Jr. were next to him.
The division of labor between the two in the Lakers is clear.
Frank is mainly responsible for tactics and on-the-spot deployment, while Jr. Wharton is always in charge of training and all arrangements in peacetime.
It's not easy to be the head coach of a big team. Frank wouldn't be able to live so easily without the help of Walton Jr.
The three are watching the first game of the Western Conference last year, the Spurs and the Grizzlies.
No way, the Lakers' opponent in the first round is the Grizzlies.
If you want to make the first round easier, you must study your opponent thoroughly.
After watching the video clip of the first game between the Spurs and the Grizzlies, Frank couldn't help but shook his head: "This can't be replicated. We are completely different from the Spurs."
Xu Xuan and Little Wharton both nodded, and they saw 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 old foundations. Gasol and Randolph formed the "black and white duo" that year, although because of Randolph's decline, the combination It was announced that they broke, but their defensive heritage was not lost. In fact, as long as Gasol is there, the Grizzlies' defense will have no problem.
Relatively speaking, teams with strong defenses generally have weaknesses in offense.
Uh, except for the Spurs of course.
And isn't the Spurs just because they are strong defensively and offensively, they will be like a day for decades?
Without a leg, it is impossible to get to where it is today.
Officially because of his understanding, Frank said that the Spurs' record against the Grizzlies last year could not be replicated.
Because you Lakers, the well-known defensive mud, relying on offense to hit today, if it is not too sharp offensive, can you be the first in the league?
Not counting down is good.
So the Spurs responded to the Grizzlies' four words "defensive counterattack", the Lakers can't use it.
This is the different style of the team.
Frank is also very worried about this.
The Lakers were said to be bad defensively for a whole season, and Frank himself knew this.
Someone said, why did the Pacers counterattack with a dark horse last season?
But you have to know that the Pacers' defense is not weak!
Last year's Pacers had a number of defensive champions such as Pickle, West, and Hibbert.
Both the inside and outside lines are strong defensive points, coupled with the offensive strength supplemented by Xu Xuan, the Pacers have a reason to win the championship. The only thing that the Pacers was criticized was that the bench was too weak, but the starting lineup was too good, Xu Xuan and Pao Jiao's combination, one offense and one defense, solved all the problems within a radius. The Pacers won the championship very strongly!
The current Lakers are different.
The Pacers are a dual-core team, and the Lakers are a single-core team.
And the Lakers' lineup is too young.
The first five people, four of whom are young people, and the only one, Yi Jianlian, is not brilliant in the eyes of the American media.
No, there are even many people who are suggesting that the Lakers replace the Pacers. Whether it is the big white side of the Heat, Gobert of the Jazz, or Zhuangshen of the Pistons, they are much better than Yi Jianlian.
This is their consistent view.
In fact, if Xu Xuan hadn't won the championship last season and led the bad team to the league's first place this season, these people would also think of Xu Xuan in the same way.
It's just that they have been beaten by Xu Xuan now. They don't want to admit that Xu Xuan is not good, they will be beaten in the face.
Frank and Walton Jr. looked at each other. Both of them were a little worried. They both knew the Lakers' current problems, but they would want to solve them for a while. This is too difficult.
Moreover, in fact, the original tone set by the Lakers was for Xu Xuan to take young people such as Ingram and Russell for several years. When these young people grow up and can act as Xu Xuan's right-hand man, then it is the Lakers starting to rush. Crown time.
But who ever thought that the Lakers would be the number one in the league...
You can say whatever you want in this position. As the number one in the league, if you don’t even dare to say anything about the championship, it would be too shabby and you will be looked down upon. I can say it, and I don’t know how to achieve it... ...
Difficult!
The current Lakers are in a very awkward position.
Xu Xuan naturally understands.
In other words, he never thought that he would hit the championship this season.
Back then, the main reason for the Lakers was actually Kobe.
Kobe is about to retire, the last request is to hope that Xu Xuan will come to the Lakers, as an iron-clad Comet, it is difficult for Xu Xuan to refuse this request of Kobe.
Otherwise, he will continue to stay with the Pacers, and he will definitely have the ability to rush to the championship this season.
But how should I say, the plan can't keep up with the changes. Now that we have reached this point, there is no need to consider other things next, just rush forward.
The more you rush forward, the more chance you have!
This is why he values ​​the progress of the task so much.
Now the Lakers are too short of hard power. Xu Xuan can fight with LeBron, Durant and Curry, but the others are obviously lacking in strength.
And for a while, it would be unrealistic to want Ingram, Russell, Randall and others to become his right-hand man.
Therefore, if the Lakers want to go on and improve their space, they can only rely on Xu Xuan to do it themselves!
How far the Lakers can go depends on how strong Xu Xuan is!
It's that simple now!
Xu Xuan took a deep breath and looked at Frank and Wharton Jr.: "It's useless to think so much for the time being. I don't think we can panic right now. We won the Grizzlies three times in the regular season and won all three games, which shows that we are against him. There is still an advantage, otherwise it won't win so much."
Frank and Wharton Jr. agreed with this.
They are not just worrying about how to beat the Grizzlies, they are mainly scared by the "future prospects" of the Lakers. Only when a few worries gather together, they will feel worried.
Just a Grizzlies, as the league's first, Flacq and Walton Jr. are still confident, not to mention, in the regular season, the Lakers faced the precedent of the Grizzlies triumphant victory.
When Xu Xuan said this, Frank and Walton Jr. didn't get entangled, and began to concentrate on studying the tactics of fighting the Grizzlies immediately.
......
The alliance was surging for a while.
Most of those who didn't make the playoffs started to enter the holiday rhythm.
Like Lillard of the Trail Blazers.
Director Lee felt like he was really beeping this year.
I didn't even make the playoffs, so I felt so depressed.
And I felt distressed, and what replaced it was the performance in action-almost every day, coach Lee would post a message on Twitter, complaining about why the Blazers did not make the playoffs.
Why didn't you make the playoffs?
You are not mentally clear!
No one has a good record.
The record is not as good as others, and the playoffs are definitely not yours.
Xu Xuan ignored him at first.
The main reason is that Li guides this person. He has an extremely arrogant personality. This is famous, and Xu Xuan naturally knows it.
Secondly, your Lakers are in the playoffs as the number one in the regular season. There is really no need to battle with a team that did not make the playoffs.
However, there is no one on Lee's guidance to battle with him, instead of being very happy, he actually took the initiative to ask for it!
What is said on Twitter, the Grizzlies will be taken away by the Lakers in a 4-0 wave, but if they are the Blazers, the Lakers will definitely lose!
Check it out!
Check it out!
How do you say this.
Actually offended two at once!
First offended the Grizzlies, saying that they were lottery coins and were taken away by 4 to 0. Then they sprayed the Lakers and said that the Lakers were not their one-one enemy... This language art, old Yin and Yang. !
Xu Xuan was irritated.
Admittedly.
You have a strong guide.
You Li guides the big heart, the famous lore madman.
But you didn't even make the playoffs. Who gave you the courage to mock the league?
Xu Xuan didn't understand.
I was not polite at the moment, and I wrote a sentence directly on Twitter: I hope I can witness Damian next year, I will look forward to that scene very much, 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 beeping beeping!
Want to find the difference?
Okay, waiting for you next year!
If you don't make the playoffs next year, you would be ashamed.
Speaking of not being polite, just not being polite!
Lee guide?
Who are you?
I want to touch porcelain!
Xu Xuan has never kept his hands on these people, just like anyone who is not a yin and yang person.
As soon as Xu Xuan said this, he immediately went directly to the hot search, and many people who had been taunted by Lillard Ming before found it very cool.
What does Lillard say, he has a nerve, he doesn't have a brain when he speaks, and if you care about him, you won't get anything, but you won't be beautiful if you lose, so most of them are remembered in my heart, which is very uncomfortable. That's it.
Moreover, many people know that Lillard is indeed strong, and they have no confidence to go back.
But Xu Xuan is different.
Xu Xuan has this strength and has this identity to fight him.
Are you dissatisfied?
People's achievements are indeed higher than yours!
Why are you not convinced?
You have to give a reason for dissatisfaction.
Lillard was also mad to death.
But as I said earlier, Xu Xuan's words are fine.
They didn't scold you or say about you. They just look forward to meeting you next year. Then you have to cheer, and try to make the playoffs next year. Otherwise, won't you be thrown away?
Lillard has a tendon, but he is not stupid.
It was he who went up to touch the porcelain first, and was stunned back by others with justification and evidence. He had no choice but to get sulking.
I can only bite my teeth and hate, next year, next season, we must make the playoffs and make the Lakers look good!
This feeling of hating others but not being able to meet them is so uncomfortable!
Not to mention Xu Xuan and Lillard's ridicule.
Since the beginning of April 12th, these few days seem to pass quickly, because the playoffs have already begun!
......
......
April 15th!
NBA 2016-2017 season playoffs are on! ! !
On the first day, there are four games to be played.
The opening game is the Pacers and the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers' home court.
As the opener of the playoffs this season, the two teams played very fiercely.
Pickles and James both have played 40+ minutes, and the old man's playing time even came to 43 minutes!
You must know that the whole game was only 48 minutes, the old man played 43 minutes, that is to say, the old man only rested for 5 minutes in this game!
This playing time is a bit scary.
The final score was also quite thrilling, 108 to 109. Although the Pacers lost, they only lost 1 point. At 105 to 109, 4 points behind, Pickle made a three-pointer and directly chased the difference to only 1 Minute.
But it is a pity that in the end, CJ Miles didn't make the middle distance, and the lore failed. The Pacers were able to swallow the defeat.
Although the Cavaliers won, Xu Xuan and Frank still found some problems with the Cavaliers.
For the entire game, Tyronn Lue used two lineups~EbookFREE.me~ One is the starting lineup, the other is James, Deron, Frye, Shumpert, and Korver.
The real killer is the second lineup led by James. This lineup played in the second quarter. The effect during this period is really good. It feels very stable. Deron and Frye have remarkable performances. But 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 his own singles. Although his shooting percentage is good, his efficiency is not good. Generally, when Irving gets the ball, he knows that he is going to play singles. The other four people only have to watch. .
But this proposition is contradictory. Often when a team reaches the most critical juncture, his 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.
When it comes to the finals, the Pacers face the Warriors and can see constant pick-and-rolls, interspersed, and screens.
This is the difference between the team's background. Normally, the Warriors' model is more reasonable and should win the game.
But note that this is the finals and the score is stale. 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 the superstar. Stage.
Yes, in this case, it doesn’t matter whether the shot is reasonable or not. 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, singles at critical moments are okay, but like Irving does, the Cavaliers' integrity is obviously much worse. You can win with the Big Three alone, but you can't get the Big Three to score 100 points every time. Above?
