In the first round of the NBA playoffs in the West, the Lakers played Grizzlies at home and Morant came back. This was the third game of the series. Before that, the two sides tied 1-1, with the Lakers leading by 29 points at most in the first half and 16 points at the end of the first half. At the beginning of the third quarter, Dillon Brooks, who constantly challenged James, was expelled because he hit James in the crotch.
At the beginning of the third quarter, James attacked with the ball and dribbled the ball behind the backcourt. Tommy Tam came up with one hand and reached the crotch. James fell to the ground in great pain and stood up with a cold sweat. The referee went to watch the replay. Tommy Tam fouled in the second degree and was expelled directly. The Lakers fans cheered at the scene and James got a chance to make two free throws.
Brooks felt very wronged after being expelled. This is the sixth time in his career and the second time in his playoff career. Public opinion hotly debated that Dillon Brooks was too dirty. It was understandable to provoke James with words before. Now it is really unacceptable to face James, who is 38 years old, and it is reasonable to be expelled. There are also many fans calling for an additional ban on Tommy Tam.
This scene is also reminiscent of G3 of 76ers VS Nets. Harden also made an action to hit his opponent. At that time, Harden was blown for a second-class malicious foul and was expelled directly. Unlike Harden, the offensive end didn’t pay attention to hitting his opponent O ‘Neill. This time Dillon Brooks was maliciously hit and was directly expelled.
Fortunately, James was not affected, and his hands were buckled afterwards, which was quite domineering. I also hope that similar fouls will not occur. Players should pay attention to their own behavior and ensure that neither themselves nor their opponents will foul.
# Hundred Watching Teams #
On April 23rd, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued. The Clippers still lost to the Suns 100-112, because both leonard and George missed the game. Now the big score is 1-3, and it is only a matter of time before they are out. The Clippers are unlucky. They originally had the chance to compete for the championship. Now, due to the injuries of two superstars, they will encounter the first round of the tour. The gap is too big. However, the Clippers have also won people’s respect, especially Wei Shao, who got a basic salary of 780 thousand, but carried the team forward, which is really admirable. From the schedule, the Clippers were ahead with seven points in the first quarter. However, in the last three quarters, the Suns gradually gained the upper hand, and Booker and Durant’s sudden upset made the Clippers really hard to beat.
Durant of the Suns scored 31 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, and his personal performance is incomprehensible. As long as Durant finds the best state, the Suns have no opponents in the West. Booker scored 30 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals. His performance in the series is comparable to KD and he has become the best player in the league. Aidan scored 15 points, 13 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks, and Paul scored 19 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks. The Suns’ Big Four all performed well, which was terrible. Craig scored 8 points and 5 boards, Okoji scored 6 points and 3 boards, and Bi Yongbo scored 3 points and 2 boards.
Westbrook, Clippers, bombarded 37 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. It’s really a lonely hero to compete with the Four Suns on his own. I wonder what leonard and George think. Powell scored 14 points and 4 rebounds, Zubac scored 4 points and 9 rebounds, Morris scored 9 points and 3 rebounds, Gordon scored 10 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, Mann scored 13 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, Plomley scored 8 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, and Hylander scored 5 points and 2 assists. The Clippers originally had the most balanced lineup in the league. If it weren’t for the injury, the Clippers would still have a chance to eliminate the Suns.
It is worth mentioning that Wei Shao, a 34-year-old Clippers who just passed, has set a crazy record in the playoffs and is the second player in NBA history. Statistics show that Wei Shao scored 37 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in 17 of 29 shots in this campaign, which is unbelievable. Wei Shao also scored 37 points in 0 free throws, ranking behind Chuck Persson in the NBA playoff history. Wei Shao’s personal performance is impressive. He received a basic salary of 780,000 yuan, but made a performance of 40 million yuan. Presumably, no one has questioned Wei Shao at present.
In fact, it is no accident that Wei Shao’s two consecutive games were upset. Wei Shao belongs to his own system and may not be able to react chemically with many players, but if he leads the team alone, he can often burst into great vitality. When George and Cass are absent, Wei Shao can score 34.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 6 assists. So far in the series, Wei Shao’s data is 26 points, 7.5 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.8 blocks. What else can he be asked to do?
Wei Shao also completely conquered Paul, Durant and others, and they were deeply moved and supported him. Paul said that only people who know nothing about basketball can criticize Wei Shao. Later, Durant also made a statement, which is true. Wei Shao has been questioned by fans during his time with the Lakers, which only shows that both sides are not suitable for him. After leaving the Lakers, Wei Shao has found himself, and he is still an excellent star in the league.
