I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 244 The Western Conference Semifinals Begin

On May 5, the tiebreaker between the Spurs and the Grizzlies finally decided the outcome.

The Grizzlies defeated the Spurs in an upset by relying on iron and blood defense, thus eliminated the Spurs with a total score of 4 to 3, successfully advanced to the second round, and completed the black eight miracle.

At this point, the first round of the series is all over, and the second round match list is also released.

Eastern Conference: Bulls VS Hawks, Heat VS Celtics.

West: Warriors VS Grizzlies, Mavericks VS Lakers.

The first game between the Warriors and Grizzlies will officially begin on May 5.

When the Warriors players learned that the next round opponent was the Grizzlies, they were overjoyed.

Not only do they have the home court advantage, but they don't have to rush to the away game.

And it's definitely easier to play the Grizzlies than the Spurs.

The Warriors coaching staff is not as optimistic as the players.

Being able to defeat the No. [-] Spurs in the West, the Grizzlies naturally have some strength.

Immediately, Old Nelson immediately held a temporary meeting to inoculate the players so that they should not take it lightly.

After the meeting, the Warriors players adjusted their mentality and actively participated in the preparations.

……

On May 5, the second round of the playoffs kicked off.

There are two games starting tonight, namely: Heat VS Celtics and Mavericks VS Lakers.

The game between the Heat and the Celtics was extremely anxious, and it was not until the last moment that the winner was decided.

At this time James stood up and took over the game.

That's right, this James is naturally James Jones!

In this game, James Jones played at a super level, making 7 of 5 three-pointers and scoring the team's second-highest score of 25 points, helping the Heat win the game with difficulty.

Relying on the sudden outbreak of the surprise soldier James Jones, the Heat won their first victory in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

In another Western Conference semifinal, the Mavericks suppressed the Lakers from beginning to end.

Even if Kobe scored a game-high 40 points, it would be difficult to change the outcome of the game.

Nowitzki and Dayao teamed up to score 52 points and 21 rebounds, blowing up the inside of the Lakers, leading the Mavericks to an easy victory over the Lakers and winning their first victory in the Western Conference semifinals.

The two consecutive wonderful semi-finals made the fans very addicted to watching, and at the same time they are very much looking forward to the next two groups of duels.

……

May 5, Oakland, Oracle Arena.

There were no absentees in the auditorium, and the fans wore Warriors home jerseys, which looked like a golden ocean as a whole.

Amid the roars of the on-site DJ, players from both sides ran from the tunnel to the court.

When Sun Yi entered the stadium, the fans in the audience chanted MVP slogans.

They knew that the league would award Sun Yi the regular season MVP trophy tonight.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with congratulating Sun Yi in advance for winning the MVP.

"Now let's invite the Oriental magician Sun Yi to come on stage to receive the award!" the DJ shouted loudly.

On the court, the lights suddenly dimmed, and the spotlight was on Sun Yi.

Amid the cheers of the fans, Sun Yi came to the center of the court and received the MVP trophy from NBA Vice President Mark Tatum.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Yi gave his acceptance speech, and then under bursts of flashing lights, he raised the MVP trophy with both hands.

After the awards ceremony, the staff cleaned up the venue.

Not long after, the referee signaled the starting players of both sides to play.

The starting lineup sent by the Grizzlies is: Conley, Mayo, Gay, Randolph, Gasol.

The Warriors have not made any personnel adjustments and still have the starting lineup of Morrow, Tony Allen, Sun Yi, David Lee, and Chandler.

After all the players arrived, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air.

Amidst the cheers and shouts of the fans, this high-profile Western Conference semifinals officially started!

Chandler jumped up hard, hit the basketball first and moved back to the backcourt, giving the Warriors the first opportunity to attack.

After Morrow got the ball, he immediately passed the ball forward.

Sun Yi, who was on a fast break, received the pass and accelerated towards the Grizzlies penalty area.

Guy quickly retreated to block the ball.

Seeing this, Sun Yi took three steps directly with the ball, knocked away Guy who was defending, and flew to the basket to score.

At the same time, the referee blew the whistle and awarded Gay a blocking foul.

Amid the cheers and shouts of the fans in the audience, Sun Yi stood on the free throw line, received the referee's pass, and steadily hit the extra penalty.

The ball is switched and the Grizzlies attack.

Conley dribbled to the frontcourt and frowned when he saw the Warriors' defensive formation.

The Grizzlies are a team with weak offense and strong defense. On the offensive end, they mainly focus on inside offense and are not good at outside three-point shooting.

Now the Warriors took advantage of that weakness, shrinking their defense toward the paint.

Just when Conley had no way to start, Gasol quickly ran up and cooperated with the pick-and-roll.

Chandler didn't follow out, and still stayed near the penalty area to guard the basket.

Conley used the pick and roll to get rid of Morrow's defense and broke into a position inside the three-point line. Seeing that the inside was too crowded, he chose to shoot a long jumper.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

2: 3!

The Warriors quickly sent a baseline ball. After receiving the pass, Sun Yi accelerated, reached outside the three-point line and threw it directly.

Guy, who was retreating, did not expect this to happen and failed to pounce in time to interfere.

The 80-point three-point attribute, plus the effect bonus of [McGrady Shooting Pack], if there is no interference, then the shooting percentage is quite high.

"Shh!"

The basketball crashed into the net and made a steady hit!
2: 6!

Looking back, the Grizzlies attack.

After Conley cooperated with Gasol Jr. in the pick-and-roll, he continued to make long-range jumpers.

But this time Morrow squeezed past the screen to catch up, and interfered with Conley's jumper.

"when!"

The basketball bounced out of the hoop and missed!
At the basket, Chandler grabbed the rebound and found Sun Yi's figure at the first time to pass the ball.

Sun Yi received the pass, accelerated towards the frontcourt, and launched a defensive counterattack.

The Grizzlies players retreated very quickly, following their defender closely.

Sun Yi dribbled to the outside of the three-point line, made a fake gesture of praying to Buddha, shook Guy away, and accelerated towards the basket.

Guy was a little annoyed, and immediately turned around and chased after him.

Gasol, who was near the penalty area, immediately rushed back to the basket and raised his arms to interfere.

Sun Yi, who rushed into the penalty area from the right, did not stop when he saw this situation and jumped up.

He used his inertia to make a 360° turn in the air, successfully avoiding Gasol's interference. When he saw the basket close at hand, he picked up the ball with his little hand and put it into the basket.

The fans in the audience gasped when they saw this scene.

After they were shocked, they immediately shouted the slogan of MVP.

On the Grizzlies bench, head coach Hollins had a headache.

Who can guard against such a heaven-defying style of play!
But he knew very well that if the Grizzlies wanted to win, they had to solve Sun Yi's problem.

Sun Yi is in a hot state at this stage, and he certainly cannot be allowed to continue playing.

Immediately, Hollins immediately requested a timeout and called the players back to the bench to adjust.
