Chapter nine hundred and seventy seventh wind and rain in Los Angeles
In the 2013 playoffs, the West was expected to be fierce, while the East was expected to be not fierce.
In the first round and semi-finals, the Pacers sent away the Bulls and Heats in two groups, and the opponents in the division finals will be selected from the Cavaliers and the Knicks.
The West is in an unprecedented melee.
The Clippers vs. The Warriors, the Lakers vs. The Spurs.
It is worth mentioning that Yao Yong, Xie Hou, James, Durant and Kobe were selected into the All-A-Squad.
Yao Yun was selected into the Best Team for the first time in his career.
His selection was accompanied by controversy. After all, he had never been selected for the best team before. Why did he grow up against the 33-year-old?
Yao Yun has never been selected into the best team before, which is a matter of strength.
Yao Yun was selected into the best team this year, but it is still a matter of strength.
In the past, he could not compete with the Sharks, but not as good as the ultimate body of Howard, the basket-leader center. Now, the Sharks have retired, and Howard has been troubled by injuries. Not to mention the best team, he has not even made three teams.
Yao Yun played 70 games for the Pacers, averaging 23 points, 9.4 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2 blocks per game.
Pacers won 54 and ranked first in the Eastern Conference.
His competitors are Duncan, who averaged 1,794 per game, and Marc Gasol, who averaged 1,474 assists per game, plus a Howard who averaged 1,712 per game.
Yao Yun was selected for the first time, which is because of the times.
At this time, it was in the withering period of traditional giants. The new generation of centers had not yet adapted to the new rules. The lack of inside strength in the Mesozoic era made him the big shot.
Therefore, he was selected into the best team with Xie Hou. It was controversial, but not much.
"Yao, 33, was the first teammate Arthur had worked with in his career."
It was a big deal for Yao Yun to be selected for the first team. In addition, Xie Hou was selected for the first defense again and surpassed Marc Gasol, and was elected as the best defensive player of the year for two consecutive years.
Moreover, Xie Hou was elected as a guard in the future.
But his figure really doesn't seem to be related to the defender. Who has ever seen a defender like him? Even LeBron James has been playing as a small forward, but he has been playing as a defender for ten years.
Occasionally, fans can see him as a guest star in the power forward.
But the older he is, the less he wants him to play inside.
The inside line consumption is too high, which is not conducive to the maintenance of veterans.
The defender is the best for Xie Hou. Even at the age of 40, he has a physical advantage and does not have to worry about excessive damage.
Compared to being selected for the Double First Team for eight consecutive years and being selected for the DPOY for two consecutive years, Xie Hou cared more about his opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals.
After a hard battle, the Western Conference Finals both sides came out.
The Clippers broke the Blazers in six games, and the Lakers drew the Spurs in seven games.
In the East, the Pacers watched the show for many days and finally welcomed their opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals - the New York Knicks.
In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Knicks and the Cavaliers' series. After only three games, Michael Beasley suffered a fracture and was reimbursed for the season.
At that time, the Knicks only took a 2-1 lead, and everyone thought they were finished, including the New Yorkers themselves.
The Cavaliers won two consecutive games without any surprise, forcing the Knicks into desperate situation.
In the sixth game, Xie Jun removed the pass keys and scored the legendary 47 points, 10 rebounds and 0 assists.
You know, he averaged 8 assists per game in the regular season and nearly 10 assists per game in the playoffs. However, in a life-and-death battle, he did not pass the ball, but relied on not passing the ball, and scored 47 points unreasonably, allowing the Knicks to survive.
In the final battle of the seventh tie, the Knight misjudged Xie Jun.
The sixth game without passing is like a high-scoring suspense film layout. Xie Jun used the sixth game without passing, and then played the seventh game with both passing and attack.

"The 'Devil' copied the performance of 'King Arthur'. He played Arthurian data and led the Knicks to defeat the Cavaliers, and New York advanced!"
"It seems that the Knights will never beat the Xie family."
"No, it should be said that Wade will never be able to defeat the Chinese with the surname Xie."
From Xie Hou to Xie Jun, Wade's Cavaliers became supporting roles again.
Xie Jun hit two legendary games and led the Knicks to the division final.
"After fourteen years, the Knicks returned to the stage of the division finals. The last time we arrived here, Patrick Ewing was still there, Alan Houston was not injured, Larry Johnson was preparing to complete the legendary 'four-pointer', Jeff Van Gundy has not become a mean in the commentary table, what a good future we have - and then we waited for LeBron James, can you believe it? LeBron never led us to the division finals, he never did, like Brigie's sixth and seventh games against Cleveland, you can never expect LeBron to stand up and save us like Brigie!"
Xie Jun played a legendary game, and James was shot while lying down.
Moreover, the league is going to send him mvp during this period.
The division final was about to begin, and the league announced the MVP winner. No suspense, James picked it up.
The league is satisfied with the showdown between the east and west.
The West is the Los Angeles Derby, 23 vs 24, bringing together James, Anthony, Bosh, Griffin, Westbrook, Kobe, Paul, and Howard's series.
The East is the brothers' civil war. Pacers vs. Knicks, Xie Hou vs. Xie Jun, now and the future, "Devil Boy" peeks at the throne, what can "King Arthur" do?
The division finals have their own stories and excitement, mainly in the West, and there are indeed too many stories between the Lakers and the Clippers.
The east is not as exciting as imagined.
After Beasley's season reimbursement, the Knicks only rely on Xie Jun. The two rookies have good combat power. If you expect them to come to earth like the "Magician" finals, it would be better to expect Xie Jun to suddenly realize all his talents, and flood the Pacers just like Xie Hou relied on his talents to subdue many teams.
The fact is that all kinds of things that need to be expected cannot happen.
The Knicks and Pacers are not teams of the same level, and the result is destined from the first game of the series.
Xie Hou took the initiative to fight Xie Jun. His experience and confrontation, his wisdom and skills, are everything that Xie Jun needs to strive to catch up.
Xie Jun hopes to catch up with Xie Hou as soon as possible.
Xie Hou is 33 years old and he is no longer in his peak period. His body can still fly, combined with skills that have reached the level of transformation and many years of competition experience, he can maintain a high competitive level, but that is no longer his peak. If Xie Jun has to wait until his brother is 35 years old before he surpasses him, it is the biggest failure.
Defeating Xie Hou was the source of motivation that inspired him to work hard at the beginning.
Suddenly, the target was right in front of him and he lost his mind.
In the first and second games of the series, Xie Jun made 64 crazy moves, and the Knicks lost a crushing defeat.
The gap between the Knicks and the Pacers obviously made the audience lose interest.
Why not look at the Western Conference Finals, it is a real death fight.
In the first game, Howard made 11 offensive rebounds, Kobe's touch encountered an ice age, and Paul's single-handed challenge helped the Lakers win.
Staples Center was broken by Lakers fans.
According to the record ranking, that night, Staples Center belonged to the Clippers' home court. However, the "home fans" actually cheered loudly for the Lakers' victory over the Clippers.
It's not a mistake for Lakers fans to say that if the division final was a Los Angeles derby, the Lakers would have seven home games, which is indeed the case.
The Clippers were not discouraged. Since he formed the aircraft carrier, they were destined to be hostile.
Away fans are hostile, and home fans are disliked - or there are no home fans at all.
The people who support them are just because they are strong enough.
The Lakers are the eternal gods of Los Angeles. After forming the Big Three, the Clippers lost a lot of popularity.
The Lakers expressed satisfaction in all aspects of winning the Clippers in the first game.
Then in the second game, the Clippers scored 110 points with five starts.
The others made up 12 points, 122 points in the game, knocking the Lakers dizzy.
James and Anthony scored a triple-double with 30 points and the other scored a game-high 39 points. The youthful talent and unsolvable explosive power are too important.
In the third game, the floor at Staples Center was replaced with the Lakers' team logo.
Well, the Lakers "returned" to home court.
The Lakers' diehards are looking forward to them defeating the Clippers again, but the opposite is true.
Howard did not show his domineering attitude of grabbing 11 offensive rebounds in the first game, and kept allowing Griffin to cut into the basket and dunked. Even Chris Bosh took the hat of "a first-black" and grabbed 14 rebounds in the whole game and scored 17 points, which was extremely eye-catching.
Howard couldn't catch the rebounds, couldn't defend against people, had low offense efficiency, and blocked Kobe and Paul's breakthrough space, making them only shoot.
Fortunately, the touch helped the Lakers last three quarters.
In the fourth quarter, James defended against the counterattack, Anthony made a three-pointer from the outside, and Westbrook's thunderous rushing defeated the Lakers.
2 to 1
"Hurry up! Lakers coach Bernie Bicksdaff swears in the direction of Dwight Howard in the locker room, and he used some words starting with f. The reason was that during the game, Bernie gave Howard a tactic. When he was about to show up, Howard's attention was completely out of the field. Compared to executing tactics, he was more keen to interact with female stars on the sidelines. Bernie was almost furious! I learned from several insiders that Bernie cursed Dwight in the locker room for half an hour!"
"So, everything is pointing to a point - Dwight lacks concentration, and Kobe and others have commented over the past few months that you can't do this, it's the division final, and you're disappointing everyone."
The New York Times revealed that during the All-Star Game, Howard wore Kobe's jerseys in front of other stars. Kobe returned to the locker room and said hello to everyone, but he did not say hello to Howard.
One of the most annoying things about being in a big city is that whenever there is a problem with the team, the media always jumps out and screams.
They are not usually committed to improving the problem.
What they want to see most is that the Lakers are in trouble, and now, they have done it.
