The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 345 [Western Finals vs Mavericks]

The Clippers eliminated the Grizzlies 4-1, which did not surprise people. The Clippers have the upper hand, and it is enough for the Grizzlies to win a game.The Grizzlies haven't run well enough this season. As long as they make a difference in the summer free market, they will definitely be stronger next year. They are still young and have plenty of opportunities.

The opponent of the Clippers will be the winner of the "horse war".The four games between the two sides were tied 2-2. In the most critical "Battle of Tianwangshan", the Mavericks won the away game in an upset. Nowitzki scored 36 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, and made 13 of 13 free throws. Tim Duncan.

In the sixth game in Dallas, the Mavericks won the game cleanly 108 to 95 and advanced 4 to 2.

Deron Williams scored 21 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists. In the last 4 minutes of the game, Deron sent 4 assists and sent the Spurs into hell.If Dirk Nowitzki, who scored 32 points in this game, was the one who killed the Spurs, then Deron killed the Spurs invisibly. He is the most terrifying figure for the Mavericks.

Another hero of the Mavericks is center DeAndre Jordan. In this game, he sent 6 blocks and defended the penalty area.Three of them went to Tony Parker.

What Parker is good at is not passing the ball, but breaking into the basket to give the opponent a fatal blow.At least half of his points per game are scored in the opponent's paint. He is a rare 1 player in the league who likes to score at the basket, although he does not have Paul's ball-handling skills and Deron Williams. Si's physical fitness, but no one can keep up with the first step of his breakthrough, which is very similar to Iverson.

In this game, Parker's impact on the Mavericks basket was blocked, which was fatal to the Spurs.When Parker's breakthrough opened up, it was the time when the Spurs' offense opened fire.Because his breakthrough will make the opponent have to shrink the defensive formation, and this will undoubtedly create more opportunities for outside shooters like Ginobili and Jefferson.And Duncan also became the beneficiary of Parker's breakthrough. When he played a pick-and-roll for Parker, Parker would attract the opponent's double-team defense and pass the ball out, allowing Duncan to calmly shoot from 6 feet.

The Spurs regretted being out again, only waiting for a comeback next season.

After the Mavericks game, Ye Feng called Nowitzki to congratulate the Mavericks for advancing.Because he admired Nowitzki, Ye Feng tried his best to build a good relationship with him. After the 4-year contract expired, he still hoped that Nowitzki could transfer to the Clippers and join forces with him.For a player of Nowitzki's style, it doesn't matter if his speed is slow. His biggest feature is his shooting. Even if he is 40 years old, his strength will not be too bad.

Nowitzki was full of confidence after eliminating the Spurs, and said: "Seeing that you have been very leisurely recently, be careful, the Clippers may not be able to defeat the Mavericks."

Ye Feng said seriously: "I know. I will try my best to defeat you."

The Mavericks are stronger than the team that won the championship in Ye Feng's previous life, Deron Williams is better than Kidd, Jordan is a weaker version of Chandler, without Barea, Beaubois is not bad, his style is similar to that of Brooks Somewhat similar.Nowitzki also has an advantage. A dual-core team is more difficult to deal with. Forward Marion and substitute Jason Terry are also very good players.This series is bound to be intense.

In the East, the Heat swept the Knicks 4-0 to advance first.The Nets were stubbornly blocked by the Celtics and still passed the test with a total score of 4-2.The two sides will make the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Nets are superior in strength and seem to be more successful than the Clippers in rebuilding that year. This is still in the case of forward Caron Butler being injured.The Nets are not short of money, and they will definitely continue to strengthen, and they will be even stronger next year.With Ariza, Butler, and Hayward, the Nets may no longer pursue a shockingly bad contract like Joe Johnson. In the future, the Nets will definitely be the enemy of the Heat and the Clippers.

The sports channel basketball program analyzed in detail the matchup of players in the finals between the East and the West. Everyone in the East is optimistic about the Heat, while experts in the West believe that the Mavericks have at least a [-]% chance of beating the Clippers in an upset.

Experts believe that the Mavericks can compete with the Clippers in strength, and it is impossible to be overwhelming.At the same time, it is analyzed that Ye Feng may start at the No. 1 position, because Kidd and Curry are not opponents of Deron Williams. If the Clippers want someone to share the pressure of Ye Feng, it is best to introduce a stronger player. point guard, or simply Ye Feng will play guard in the future.

The Clippers had their eyes on Deron, but it was a pity that they were a step late. If Deron had transferred to the Clippers instead of the Mavericks, there would be no such problems now.

The positions of the two sides have their own strengths.

Point guard Curry (Kidd) VS Deron Williams, the Mavericks have the upper hand.Kidd's data has declined severely this season. Many people think that the Clippers have lost money by introducing Kidd with an annual salary of nearly 45 million.After having the championship, Kidd lost the hard work of the year, only shining in some games.The team's more ideal point guard is Stephen Curry. He's good offensively, shooting more than [-] percent from [-]-point range for the second straight season, among the best in the league, but he's also terrible defensively.In the series against the Grizzlies, the Clippers even used Ye Feng to defend Westbrook, which shows that both Kidd and Curry have weaknesses on the defensive end.Unlike Westbrook, Deron Williams has rich experience. He can use the pass to mobilize the team without breaking through. He can make the Clippers' defense always need to be in a state of tension. No loss, what is missing is the proof of the ring.

Shooting guard Ye Feng VS Stevenson (Terry).The Clippers have the upper hand.

Ye Feng is likely to be the No. 1 or No. 2 position. No matter which position he plays, how to defend him is the biggest headache for the Mavericks.Stevenson has always been Terry's pseudo-starter, actually only playing about 15 minutes in each game, in order for Terry to play with a substitute to grab points when he is physically strong in the second quarter.

Stevenson is not without merits, he is a defensive player, physically strong, and he is very courageous. He has a long-standing grievance with LeBron James, from the Washington Wizards VS Cleveland Cavaliers to this season. Miami Heat, Stevenson against James everywhere.In the regular season, Stevens is also responsible for defending Ye Feng on the outside. He is a hunk.His shortcoming is that he is only 196cm tall, and Ye Feng can shoot jump shots in front of him.Terry couldn't defend against Ye Feng, the only thing he could do was to be blown up.In terms of matchups on the court, Stevenson is more likely to confront Ye Feng.

Small forward Barnes (Smith) VS Marion, the Clippers have the upper hand.

Both Barnes and Smith are strong defensive swingmen. They will try their best to prevent Marion's offense. After Marion left the Suns, his offensive ability declined. This season, he averaged only 12 points, 7 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. For role players.Smith is more likely to come off the bench, he can enhance the offensive power of the second team, one-on-one competition, Smith is better than Marion in both offense and defense.

Power forward Love VS Nowitzki, the Mavericks have the upper hand.

This season, Love began to change to a power forward. He and Nowitzki are both shooting-oriented No. 4 positions. The difference is that Love needs to rely on the passing of his teammates, and his ability to hold the ball is very poor.Nowitzki is always attacking with the ball. Facing the crazy defense of each team, he can still score high points steadily. He is the core of the super offense.After entering the playoffs, no team has successfully limited Nowitzki.In this series, Nowitzki is also the key to the Mavericks' victory.Everyone is looking forward to his matchup with Ye Feng. If the Clippers can't guard against it, this is likely to happen.

Center JaVale McGee VS DeAndre Jordan, the Clippers have the upper hand.

Jordan's biggest role is to block shots and grab rebounds on the defensive end. This is a blue-collar job, because it is difficult for him to gain the trust of his teammates on offense, and his inaccurate free throws are more likely to drag down the team.McGee's role is similar to that of Jordan, but he has the help of his teammates. He has a certain singles ability in the low post, and he can also shoot in the high post. The offense is much better than Jordan. If you relax the defense against him, he can also help the team with scoring. .

Substitutes for the Clippers include Smith, O'Neal, Thornton, Gortat, Tony Allen, etc... No one is redundant.

The Mavericks also had Terry, Bubois grab points, Haywood, Mahinmi guarding the inside, and Stojakovic made three-pointers.

The Clippers’ advantage is not particularly large. In the previous two rounds of the series, Terry’s three-point shooting percentage was as high as 46%, and Stojakovic also had 40%. The outside strength is not bad, which is important to note.

On May 5, the first game between the two sides will be held at the Staples Arena.

17日，东部决赛先赛一场。热火109比98主场战胜篮网，1比0领先。
勒布朗.詹姆斯贡献32分7篮板9助攻的全面表现，德维恩.韦德20分4篮板5助攻，克里斯.波什贡献16分7篮板，梅奥也有14分入账，他们带领球队在上半场取得领先后一直牢牢掌控着局面。

Humphries of the Nets had 15 points, 12 rebounds and 3 steals, Scola had 18 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, Wall had 12 points and 6 assists, and only hit 13 goals in 4 shots.Brook Lopez also performed poorly, scoring only 11 points and 3 rebounds. His sluggish performance was the main reason for the Nets' loss. It wasn't how good the Heat's interior defense was, but that the Nets seemed to have won the Eastern Conference Finals For the grand prize, Lopez was too nervous and played abnormally.

Nets outside Farmar scored 12 points, Trevor Ariza also scored 10 points, 6 Nets scored in double figures, but no one scored 20 points.The Nets players have too little experience in the playoffs, and they were able to beat the Celtics because the Celtics had obvious weaknesses inside and the bench lineup was not strong enough. Except for the lack of a super center, the Heat are almost invulnerable.

Mayo and Bosh made the Heat's substitute attack power not inferior to the main force. Mike Miller, James Jones, Mike Bibby and others can also hit accurate three-pointers. No, Dampier still has power.The Nets have no advantages in terms of lineup or experience, and it is almost impossible to reach the finals.

After the game, the Heat arrogantly shouted the slogan of sweeping the Nets. Experts believe that it is possible for them to do so.But the Heat don't dare to call for a sweep to win the championship.

The Western Conference finals are just around the corner, and both sides were very low-key in the interviews before the game, not talking about the outcome.

The Clippers have the confidence to advance, but they don't know how many games it will take. The Mavericks are even more afraid to speak big words. The Clippers are very tenacious and already have championship background.

Interestingly, the coaches of the two teams touted each other.Thibodeau praised Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle, saying his philosophy made the Mavericks stronger this season.Carlisle said that Thibodeau's two best coaches have proved his ability.

Carlisle is a typical academic coach.He has a lot of power, but few people notice it.In the first year of coaching the Detroit Pistons, Carlisle won the head coach of the year award. The following year, the Pistons reached the Eastern Conference Finals. Unfortunately, it didn't take long for Carlisle to be fired.

In the first year of coaching the Pacers, Carlisle once again led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals, but unfortunately encountered the infamous "Palace of Auburn Hills incident" in the second year.Since then, the Pacers have been in a slump.

Carlisle knows better than anyone that "there is only a thin line between success and failure." To say that Carlisle has suffered more setbacks in the playoffs than Nowitzki.

Charlie Rosen, an expert who has authored 15 basketball books, believes that the current NBA coach Popovich is the strongest, followed by Rick Carlisle.The ability of the Clippers Thibodeau ranks fifth in the NBA after the Blazers McMillan and the Celtics Rivers.In terms of arranging tactics and on-the-spot responses, Carlisle is better than Thibodeau.This is an advantage for the Mavericks.

In the locker room, Thibodeau drew a few pictures on the tactical board, arranged tactics and lineups, and the Clippers rested for two more days. The coaching staff has been studying the Mavericks and has already figured out a countermeasure.

The Mavericks lineup has no obvious weaknesses. Except for the poor offense at the center position, there are good players in other positions. Marion, Stevenson, and Jordan can also do a good job defending Ye Feng. Victory against the Clippers depends on strength.

Thibodeau said: "Ye, this time you play the 2nd position and defend against Williams. Stephen (Curry) is responsible for defending Stevenson. His shooting is very poor. He is just a blue-collar outside. Don't let him score. Matt (Barnes) is facing Marion, follow him closely, and don't let him cut easily. JaVale (McGee) defends Nowitzki at the 4th position, you are fast, defend against breakthroughs, interfere with his shooting, Kevin (Love) defends Jordan in the low post. If he goes to the high pick-and-roll, put him in the mid-range shot. When attacking, pull out inside to cover for Ye and let him get the ball. Ye, it's up to you! Hit hard!"

The Clippers offense arranged for Ye Feng to play singles. If he was in the low post with the ball, Stevenson and Terry would definitely not be able to guard him. Weskey defends well.Ye Feng faced them, and there was a misalignment on the outside. Love and McGee had a height advantage in shooting, and Ye Feng himself could rely on his skills to attack from the frame.Thibodeau's arrangement to attack with Ye Feng as the core is because of his absolute trust in him.As long as he singles it out, the Clippers will definitely beat the Mavericks.

The Mavericks also knew the advantages of the Clippers, so Carlisle arranged a zone defense as a magic weapon to win, and the battle was about to be staged.
