Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 466: It takes a full set to be real!

Hearing that his teammates wanted to talk about the playoffs, Kobe scoffed, the Jazz made you so calculating, what else do you have to talk about?
"Playoffs, what's there to talk about?"

"How about guessing who can advance?" Lang Sheng asked.

"Forget it, there is nothing to talk about. No matter how they advance, the final champion must belong to the Lakers. There is no point in discussing this!" It is such self-confidence, which is also Li Tian's rapid growth, that made Kobe so confidence.

"All right!"

Before regular training started, Phil called everyone into the office. He needed to announce the roster for the playoffs.After repeated thinking by the coaching staff, the roster of 12 players for the playoffs has been released, and it is still relatively hot.

"Everyone should know that the reason for calling you here today is why you were called to the meeting room."

Everyone knows why this is because there are some changes in the regular season roster and the playoff roster.The next step must be to announce the 12-man roster for the playoffs.

"Let me announce that the roster for the playoffs is: Kobe, Li Tian, ​​Gasol, Bynum, Fisher."

The first thing to talk about is the starting five. These five people have been expected by everyone. Anyone who is not a fool knows that they will definitely be on the list.

"The substitute players are: Odom, Ariza, Walton, Farmar, Vujacic, Brown, and the last one is Sun!" Phil finished reading the list.

Powell and Mbenga, who were sitting beside them, froze, as did Mim.Look at this list of 12.Only Bynum is the real center. Although Gasol can replace the center position, he also plays the power forward position.

It can be said that the Lakers' playoff roster has only one center, and this lineup is a bit weird.

The back line is too crowded. Kobe, Fisher, Vujacic, Brown and Sun Yue can be said to be very crowded.From a normal point of view, there needs to be a backup center for everything, but Phil did not arrange a backup center, which has to arouse people's deep thinking.

After the announcement is over, let the players continue to train, and carry out targeted training.

The first day of the playoffs is coming soon.

On April 4, there will be a total of four games, two in the east and the west.They are Cavaliers VS Pistons, Celtics VS Bulls, Nuggets VS Mavericks, Trail Blazers VS Spurs in the East.

In the first game of the first day of the playoffs, there was an upset. The Bulls won the Celtics 105:103 in overtime.Ray Allen missed a chance to equalize at the critical moment of overtime, and the Celtics regretted losing.

The Cavaliers and the Tunneling Team were both narrow-minded and won each other.The veteran Spurs taught the young Blazers a vivid and bloody lesson. They must know how to respect the elders, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

Looking at the results of the first day of the game, Phil believes that after the Celtics lost Garnett, it has long been impossible for the Celtics to enter the finals. Seeing the Cavaliers led by James, they are the opponents in the finals .

The league is also very excited, and quietly began to promote that No. 23 and No. 24 will meet in the finals. This makes some teams that are determined to compete for the championship very unhappy, but there is nothing they can do.This season, the performance of these two teams was too strong. After the Celtics lost Garnett, all the media and basketball commentators believed that the Lakers and Cavaliers would meet in the finals.

On April 4, the first game of the Lakers playoffs will start today.

Li Tian couldn't help but gasped as he browsed the news, the news was so explosive.The Heat's away game against the Eagles is over. The Heat only scored 64 points. This is the team with the regular season scoring leader. It only scored 64 points. It can be said that the loser has no underwear.

I couldn’t help but give a thumbs up to Horford for my good friend from college. He guarded the paint. For Wade, who relied on breakthroughs to score, he limited his shooting percentage to 38%, 21 of 8. This is a score. Wang, is no ordinary starter.

"This year's playoffs are quite interesting!" Li Tian couldn't help feeling emotional after seeing the first few games in the first round.

Inside the home team locker room.

"Children, this year's playoffs are about to start. I hope you can forget all about the regular season and 74 wins. From now on, everything is zero. We will win 16 more games and the championship will belong to us !” Phil yelled loudly in the locker room.

If you just listen to the voice, no one will think that this is an old man in his 60s, full of spirit, and he is simply a middle-aged man in his thirties.

"Victory! Victory! Victory!" In the locker room, roars came out one after another.

"Tactics, there is no need to say too much now, Li, you are the main attacker today, Kobe and Gasol are supporting you, attracting defense for you, don't have any scruples!"

Phil felt that since he performed a play for the Jazz, he had to finish the play, otherwise there would be regrets.

"Okay!" Li Tian nodded.

The Staples Center was full of jubilation and beaming, and all the fans were smiling. They had a premonition that this year's home team would complete their title defense, and the dynasty was waving to them.

The visiting team's locker room was also full of joy. They felt that they had found the password on the next gram, how could they be unhappy.

"Coach, it seems that our analysis is correct. In order to protect the back line, even this year's rookie Sun has been added to the roster for the playoffs. They don't even have a backup center. It is conceivable that Kobe must be There are injuries, or Phil wouldn't take the risk!" said the assistant coach.

Sloan nodded in agreement.

After Zhang directed the live broadcast of the Lakers' 73-win game, the league was also very generous and invited them to stay in Los Angeles for a live broadcast.All the consumption is paid by the alliance, but if there is any need, they will deal with it and solve it as soon as possible.

"Hi everyone, today is the 08-09 season, the first playoff game of the Lakers is about to start. Let me tell you another good news, Sun Yue has also entered the Lakers' roster for the playoffs!" Director Zhang smiled From ear to ear.

In the basketball career, after so many years of struggle, of course I know that there is a world of difference between players who have played in the NBA playoffs and those who have not.

After tempering in the playoffs, even if you just feel the atmosphere, there are different improvements.During the offseason of this year's NBA, the championship of the Asian Championships has basically been won.The growth of Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue this season is obvious to all. Even without Dayao and Li Tian, ​​they are still at the highest level in Asia.

(The starters of the two teams have not changed, so I won’t repeat them here.)
The referee blows the whistle, and the game officially begins!
Bynum easily won the jump ball, because after returning from injury, Li Tian often passed the ball to him, and he also returned the favor, dialing the ball over.

Li Tian held the ball and used fake moves to sway Brewer to defend himself.Break through the basket easily, pass the ball to Gasol, attract Collins' defense under the basket, and pass it to Bynum who is open.

Slam dunk!

0:2 The Lakers opened the scoring first.

The cooperation between teammates is quite tacit. Kobe, a tool man, is very effective in attracting defense.

Even knowing that Kobe was injured, the Jazz didn't dare to relax in the slightest. There was no other reason than that this guy was Kobe.

After 7 minutes in the opening game, the Lakers' offense was very smooth under Li Tian's sorting out.Facing Brewer, whose height, weight, and speed were not as good as his own, it was very easy to break through, and it also disrupted the Jazz's overall defense.

Facing the overall defense of the Lakers, the Jazz's offense is not very satisfactory.They lack stars, and no one can lead the team to score and stabilize the situation when the team's offensive end stagnates.

Although Deron is good, he has a fatal flaw. He is a bit like Rondo. He lacks shooting ability. Even if he can sort out the team's offense well, but in the playoffs, the team's defense is more targeted. This shortcoming is enough Let him hand over the victory.

Throughout his career, he has never shot more than 40% in any season. You must know that Kobe, known as the little blacksmith, has four more seasons in the regular season, and his shooting rate exceeds 40%.The defense the two are facing, you don't need to think about it, and there is a world of difference.

10:18 The Lakers established an 8-point lead!
Phil took the lead in making substitution adjustments, as in the regular season, replacing Kobe and Gasol.

"Man, here's our chance!" Boozer shouted at Deron.

"Yes, take advantage of this time to narrow the point difference, it's best to overtake the score!" Deron also applauded continuously to cheer for his teammates.

Sloan smiled knowingly, this is their chance to narrow the point difference, and even complete the overtake is not without a chance!

Phil ignored all the speculations from the outside world and continued to follow the original plan!

The Jazz also launched a crazy counterattack. Whenever they narrowed the point difference to less than 5 points, Li Tian would make up for it at the most appropriate time.

Either break through Brewer with the ball, or pull it all away, use the footsteps inside, and single Collins.When double-teaming comes up, the ball will be distributed to teammates who are open. The teammates are also very good and can always give corresponding help.

After Kobe came on stage in the second quarter, Li Tian also took a rest to recover his physical fitness.

In the last few minutes, he appeared again.

The perfect cooperation of the three, coupled with Ariza's fiery state, made 7 of 5 in the first half, including 3 of 2 three-pointers, scoring 12 points, the same score as Kobe, second only to Li Tian's 13 points in the half.

At the end of the first half, the Lakers established a 40-point lead at 65:25.

Phil is about to cry, I'm already like this, you guys are still not up to date, and suddenly feel that this scene can't be sung.In the second half, the strategy had to be changed quickly, and the playing time of Kobe and Gasol was once again reduced. Even Li Tian's playing time was also reduced accordingly.

Even so, the Jazz lost the game by a big margin.

Kobe Bryant and Gasol only played for 23 minutes, and Li Tian played for less than 35 minutes. Ariza's sudden outburst made the Jazz unexpected and scored the team's third-highest 20 points, second only to Li Tian's 32 points. And Kobe's 23 points.

103:120 The Lakers won the first game of the playoffs.

Even though he lost, Sloan was even more excited. Kobe and Gasol had less than 20 minutes to play, which further confirmed that they were injured. He was sure that the final victory of this round of the series must belong to the Jazz!
