Today, the Thunder 123-107 Pacers, the Finals score was rewritten to a 1-1 draw. The Pacers stole a win at the Thunder's home court and got the job done. Haliburton had 17 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, and Alexander had 34 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals. In the playoffs, the ranking of seasons with at least 30 points and 5 assists reached 11 times, and the old man appeared again.
Caruso had 20 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist today, and every time I see Ka Huang perform well, I always have to sigh, how did we lose him in the first place?
Today, James and Nash's podcast "Brain of the Court" aired the latest clip. Speaking about basketball, James said: "When I was growing up, those dribbling moves weren't the focus at all. That's when the emphasis is on getting the ball to your own sweet spot with minimal dribbling. That's efficiency. The balls I watched as a kid, like Michael Jordan, he wouldn't dribble there a thousand times before he could shoot. He just found the position and then pulled the jump shot. Isiah Thomas, despite his ability to handle the ball, is also a one-step shot and then a shot. ”
"Grant Hill, he's going to get to his position with a physical fight. Alan Houston, these good players. When I was growing up, I admired Penny Hardaway. Of course they have the ball, but like Maddy, even if he dribbles well, he's that kind of play, 'I'm taller than you, I can shoot, I just need a small dribble to shoot.'" ”
"Kevin Garnett, he's on his feet. If he is taller than you, he can take advantage of his size as long as he pushes against you with his shoulders and jams you. I see people on social media saying 'LeBron doesn't have a skill pack', saying I don't have a skill set? But I'm about to hit 50 billion points( I’m sitting here with 50 billion points)。”
James used exaggerated rhetorical devices, and so far, James has scored a total of 50,473 points in his career, 42,184 points in the regular season and 8,289 points in the playoffs. He is the all-time scoring leader in the regular season and the all-time scoring leader in the playoffs.
Speaking about the Lakers' Big Three, James said: "We have a rare advantage — we have three players on the team who can attack with the ball: me and him (Doncic), plus AR (Reaves). There are very few teams in the league that have three ball-carrying points at the same time that can create their own offense. ”
The topic of the Lakers center is a cliché. Recently, Celtics full-time reporter Brian Robb gave a set of trading plans:
Lakers get: Porzingis;
Celtic get: Vincent, Kleber, Milton.
Porzingis is believed to be a Celtics player who is likely to be traded this offseason to balance the team's salary space. In the regular season this season, he appeared in 42 games, averaging 19.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 blocks in 28.8 minutes per game, shooting 48.3%, 41.2% and 80.9% from three. In the playoffs, he averaged 7.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 0.8 blocks in 21 minutes per game, shooting 31.6%, 15.4% and 68.9% from three.
Compared with the regular season, his statistics in the playoffs have shown a significant decline. Porzingis is plagued by injuries and is also regarded as a "glass man" by fans. However, the bargaining chips given by the Lakers are not distressing, after all, they have not given draft picks, so it's really hard to say whether it's a win-win situation.
