The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 353 [Advancing to the finals]

The series between the Heat and the Nets is also in progress, with the Heat leading the Nets 2-0.

The reason why the Heat win is somewhat similar to that of the Clippers. The Nets do not have a strong swingman and cannot defend against LeBron James.Neither Ariza nor Outlaw are good at defending strong players. Hayward shoots well, but he is thinner and only gets bullied on the court.It's a pity that the Nets exchanged for former All-Star player Caron Butler in order to strengthen the striker, but he was injured and unable to play. If Butler is not injured, the Nets have a good chance to fight the Heat.Now I can only watch James do whatever he wants.In the second game, James scored a large triple-double with 34 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists, disrupting the Nets' defense alone.

What's interesting is that when the Clippers won, experts said that "the one who wins the inside wins the world." The Clippers defeated the Mavericks by relying on the inside advantage, but watching the Heat's game, the inside seems not so important.The Nets are obviously better inside than the Heat. Lopez and Scola are good at attacking. Humphries and Hayes are good defensive players.But the Nets still lost, and the outside line lost in a mess.

The Heat's perimeter is recognized as the strongest in the league. Needless to say, the abilities of James, Wade, and Mayo, Chalmers and Mike Bibby also helped the team, hitting three-pointers at critical moments, and James Jones, Mike Miller and others, the Heat's shooters are terrifying.

The Nets' perimeter is much shabby.John Wall was selected as an All-Star in his rookie season and performed well in the regular season, but against Wade, he was completely suppressed.Others are even worse. Ariza was almost unable to score when defended by James. Hayward replaced Vujacic in the playoffs and started, but he couldn't play a role, and the defense was too poor.

Insider Lopez has no advantage against Bosh. "Dragon King" has only 18.7 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2 assists this season. Judging by the statistics, he is no longer top-notch, but he defends Lopez worse than himself. This is the role of experience.The best performer of the Nets was Luis Scola. He could gain the upper hand against Joel Anthony and Haslem with his low-post footsteps, but the others were misfired. His personal efforts could not help the team win.

Few teams can come back from a 0-2 deficit, and the two sides in the finals seem to have been determined.

On May 5, the Clippers flew to Dallas for Game 22 at the Mavericks' home court.

The atmosphere at home in Dallas is also very warm. The fans hope that Nowitzki and Deron can lead the Mavericks to fight back against the Clippers. Even if they lose in the end, they must win two games at home.

Nowitzki was lost on offense.Back at home, listening to the shouts of the fans, Nowitzki was not more brave than the away game, but he was under great psychological pressure.

Nowitzki failed to hit the first three shots, but McGee, who was facing him, played well. He received a breakthrough from his teammate and dunked twice. The Clippers started 9-2.Halfway through this quarter, Nowitzki made his only goal in this quarter. With his back to McGee, he suddenly turned from the baseline and cut to the basket for an easy layup.

The Mavericks were fighting at home but couldn't find the feeling. It took 8 minutes to score in double figures and fell behind by 11 points in the first quarter.It is estimated that many fans wanted to leave the game in the first quarter.

The Clippers still used foul tactics and O'Neal's low-post offense in the second quarter. This method is very effective.With 7 minutes and 13 seconds left in this section, Thornton received a pass from Curry and made a long-range three-pointer. The Clippers took a 40-23 lead by 17 points.His teammates performed so well, Ye Feng seldom took shots after he came on the court, he just pulled out the outside line to create opportunities for his teammates. In this quarter, he made 3 of 1 shots, scored 2 points and sent 4 assists. Scored 8 points in the quarter.10 to 56 at halftime, the Clippers maintained a 39-point lead.

Nowitzki still couldn't find the feeling in the third quarter. He only made 7 of 1 shots. Fortunately, Deron stood up and scored consecutively, and his teammates hit three-pointers several times. The Mavericks were not defeated in one breath.In this quarter, the Clippers' shooting percentage also dropped, and their offense was weak, entering the fourth quarter 78 to 66.

In the last quarter, the Clippers didn't give the Mavericks another chance, and even the "shark-cutting tactic" was useless. They played a wave of 10-0 offensive climax at the beginning to seal the victory.

After the game, the media criticized Nowitzki as a "soft guy". In this game, he only made 21 of 7 shots, and only scored 19 points including free throws, and there were 7 turnovers.The core performance is abnormal, and it is normal for the Mavericks to lose by a big score.

Ye Feng only played 35 minutes and scored 23 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists. He scored more points than Nowitzki without much effort.

In Ye Feng's previous life, after the Mavericks won the championship, the media blew Nowitzki into the sky, saying that there is no one in the league, McGrady and Iverson are far behind, and Kobe is slightly inferior. It seems that Nowitzki is Like League No.1.

When a player wins a championship, the world's opinion of him will change. If Nowitzki does not have a championship, it will be nothing but clouds.It was the same year in 2011, the same person, but Nowitzki's reputation as a "soft guy" was still stuck on his forehead. No media even said that he was the top star in the league, at most they said he was the star of the Mavericks.

After this game, the Mavericks star seems to have become Deron Williams. In this game, Deron kept relying on the pick-and-roll to break through the offense and scored 35 points, 4 rebounds, 13 assists and 2 steals. He was the best player in the game. Good guy, but apart from him, the rest of the Mavericks are in a sluggish state, and Jason Terry only scored 14 points.

Not long ago, the Mavericks swept the Lakers, but now they are standing on the verge of being swept.

On May 5, the Mavericks started their home defense.

The Mavericks are going all out this time, and they have made great moves in defense.The imposing Mavericks at home finally suppressed the Clippers in the opening game.Deshaun Stevenson hit two three-pointers in the first quarter, which provided enough help for the team. He averaged only 5.4 points per game, and overfulfilled the task in a single quarter.The Mavericks used small to play big, almost gave up the inside line, and kept running and cutting to create opportunities.Both McGee and Love are always forced to pull out to defend, which doesn't work well.

If the outside shot is not accurate, the Mavericks will lose. This way of fighting has achieved results, and the Mavericks' shooting percentage has improved. Nowitzki scored 22 points in the half, and the Mavericks led the Clippers by 14 points. .

In the second half, under the leadership of Ye Feng, the Clippers went all the way to catch up. With 6 minutes and 17 seconds left in the third quarter, Ye Feng made a mid-range shot, and the Clippers chased 65 to 79 by only 4 points.After that, Smith succeeded in stealing, but Curry missed a three-pointer and missed a good opportunity to narrow the gap to one point.

Then the wind and rain suddenly changed. Deron stormed and caused a foul. He made two free throws and made one of two free throws. After missing the second goal, Jordan grabbed an offensive rebound.McGee also received a technical foul because of this. He felt that Jordan pushed him from behind when he was grabbing a rebound, and asked the referee to argue, but the referee still turned towards the Mavericks and blew him a T.

Nowitzki made another free throw, and the Mavericks scored 5 points in this attack, widening the point difference.This became a turning point in the game, after which the Clippers failed to catch up and lost the game 99 to 110.

The Mavericks tied the total score at 1 to 3 and avoided being swept. This ending has made them acceptable.

Ye Feng scored 32 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists in this game. At the end of the game, the Mavericks' defense against him became more and more rough, so he used more of a floor-flow style of play, and did not let the opponent knock him down hard. Chance.

After losing a game, Ye Feng felt nothing.He didn't risk his life to get injured. Losing a game doesn't affect the overall situation. Safety comes first.

Seeing Mavericks owner Cuban yelling on the sidelines, like the head coach, Ye Feng felt a little sad for Cuban from the bottom of his heart.Originally, the Mavericks could "achieve positive results" this season because his rebirth has changed. Even with Deron, it will be very difficult for the Mavericks to win the championship in the future.

At this time, the fourth game of the Heat VS Nets has also ended.

Heat "Big Three" or only two starters, James and Wade with Haslem, Joel. Anthony, Chalmers three play.After Wade and James succeeded in consecutive breakthroughs, the Heat started 12-6. Brook Lopez stepped up and scored from the low post, bringing the game into a stalemate.

In this series, the Nets are not without strength to fight back. They have also taken the lead many times, but the problem is that they cannot maintain the advantage until the end, or they are inexperienced.

Halfway through the second quarter, Scola made a mid-range shot and the Nets led by 37 points 32-5.At the end of the half, the Nets even expanded the point difference to 12 points, with a good momentum.

The Nets, which had the upper hand in the second half, suddenly softened and missed consecutive shots. The Heat took the opportunity to narrow the gap.Mike. Miller was the most eye-catching performance. He first hit a three-pointer and then dunked successfully. The efficiency is very high.

The Nets were very impatient. Trevor Ariza even played against James. He pulled James down who was about to dunk, and got a malicious foul. Ariza took money from the Clippers...

After this malicious foul, the Heat were not afraid, but became more and more courageous. The combination of the "Big Three" Gameo and Haslem completely controlled the situation in the fourth quarter and overtook the score.The Nets requested a timeout twice but failed to contain the Heat's offensive. Within 2 minutes, the Heat made 3 three-pointers, widening the point difference to 10 points.

In the last minute, James successfully steals from Wall and hits a jumper in the front court to seal the victory.In the end, they won 1 to 93 and swept the Nets to advance to the finals first.

In this playoffs, the Heat swept their opponents in three consecutive rounds, unstoppable.They got two more days of rest than the Clippers. The outcome of this finals is hard to predict. The Heat's lineup is too strong, and the Clippers have an amazing record in the regular season and are still the best team.

On May 5, the fifth battle between the two sides started in Los Angeles.The overall strength of the Clippers is stronger than that of the Mavericks, and they will not give the Mavericks another chance.
