You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 654 Mello is not as good as Wish
The 76ers eliminated the Celtics in just five games.

The fifth game was the only game in the Weisha series that did not score 30 points. He scored 24 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists.The first triple-double in the first round.

常规赛期间，韦夏82场全勤，场均出场40分11秒，得到31.2分7.7篮板5.6助攻2.4抢断1.2盖帽，三项命中率为52%、40%、90%。

In history, there are very few 180 clubs, and this is the third consecutive season that he has entered the 180 club.

90% free throw shooting is probably more valuable than 40% three-point shooting and 52% two-point shooting.

Because he can make 8 free throws per game.

Eight free throws per game shows that he is always in a high-pressure state, but he can maintain an astonishing 8% shooting rate.

Every commentator will move out Wei Xia during the Lakers period to explain how much he has improved.

And Weisha will always be grateful to Larry Bird with a grateful heart.

He knew that he got Bird's touch talent, without this, he would not be able to shoot this hit rate even if he was exhausted on the training ground.

Wei Xia didn't know how to express his gratitude to Bird. In addition to striving for the best performance in every game against the Pacers, he donated $100 million to Bird's hometown.

When the media asked him why he donated, he said nonchalantly: "When I donated to Wenchuan in 2008, you had doubts. Now I donate to Indiana, and you also have doubts. I am just doing a good deed. Why are there so many why?"

Since then, there is no reason.

Until the playoffs, the 76ers eliminated the Celtics in five games and advanced to the semifinals. What awaited them was the New York Knicks led by Anthony, Stoudemire and Martin.

This team, which has been regarded as a joke for most of the past ten years, is once again competitive under the transformation of Pacers godfather Donnie Walsh.

Both the 76ers and the Knicks are veteran teams in the Eastern Conference. The team has a long history and has produced countless superstars, but there is no blood debt between them.

This is rare.

Because, as long as you play in a league and a team in the same division, as long as you last long enough, don’t be as useless as the Clippers before 2010. You will always be strong for a while, and you will always be prosperous for a decade or so after getting a suitable cornerstone for team building.If there is a mutual victory and defeat, it can be described as a deadly enemy.

Between the Knicks and the 76ers, there is no such thing.

The NBA in the 50s was dominated by the Lakers, Celtics and Eagles.

In the 60s it was ruled by the Celts.

The presence of the 76ers disappeared in the first half of the 70s. It was not until they got Dr. J and included the "Prophet" in the 80s that they had the confidence to compete with Hu Kai. But anyone who knows some history knows that at that time, the Knicks were at the bottom.When the Knicks waited until 1985 when the "next super giant" Ewing, the famous players of the 76ers were all old, but they also had the face of the next generation, Barkley, and the story should have unfolded between them.But the Celtics' dominance lasted until 1988, when the Pistons took over, and then Jordan's Bulls.

The Knicks became the main force against the Bulls in the first five years of the 90s, while the 76ers staged a classic drama where the core and the management were at odds.

This play has been handed down from Chamberlain in 1968, and it will not affect the inheritance across generations. In 1992, Buckley learned and learned, and successfully let himself go out of the house. 14 years later, Allen Iverson did the same thing⑴.

In the new century, Iverson's 76ers have been strong for a year. With the entry of the smiling assassin, the Knicks have changed from a wealthy family glowing with divinity to a howling family where people are stupid and want to get rich quickly.

In summary, the two teams have a long history, but there is nothing to say about each other's stories.

When the 76ers and the Knicks were fighting each other, the Lakers in the West fought hard to eliminate the Denver Nuggets in seven games, creating a not-so-popular upset.

They could have ended the battle in five games, but in the fourth game of the series, Marc Gasol was injured, and the Denver people unyieldingly dragged the series into the tiebreaker, but was slaughtered by the explosive Kobe and unfortunately out.

The Lakers may be the toughest bone to crack among all the post teams in the West.

Don't look at them ranking sixth in the West, but their real strength should be in the top four.They got in too slowly and didn't enter the state until the last one and a half months.

Once the Gasol brothers gave up competing with Howard for control of the low post, they took off.

Although Kobe couldn't run fast or jump high, he gathered the essence of his 17-year career in one place, reached the third peak of his career, and played the best performance since 2009.

They are ranked sixth, but their strength can compete with the top four, and whoever encounters will be unlucky.

The Nuggets are the team that has suffered a lot.

Before they lost, they dragged Gasol into the water, leaving Howard with an unstable temperament, Gasol who was no longer at his peak, and Kobe who was determined to take the team to the finals to compete with Wei Xia.

As for their opponents in the semifinals?
It was the Thunder led by Kevin Durant.

However, the Lakers are not yet at the end of their rope.

They folded Gasol Jr., and the Thunder folded Russell Westbrook.Therefore, this is still a series in which the outcome is uncertain, but it has damaged Gasol Jr. and severely damaged the core competitiveness of the Lakers.

The absence of a young All-Star center with excellent offense and defense is too hurt for this old team with internal and external troubles.

"I don't worry about it, I have an appointment with Wish, see you in the final." Kobe said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "We will definitely see you in the final."

Kobe told the media about their private agreement, and the media will definitely ask Wei Xia for his opinion.

It's been a long time for Wei Xia to slander Kobe in the media. This is an opportunity given by the other party. It's not black and white, but it can suffocate him.

"I think Kobe should be in awe of the defending champion. How could he think that we will be able to eliminate Miami? This expectation is too heavy. My little heart is beating and the pressure is too great."

And that was the only easy moment before the start of the semifinals.

The two people who made an appointment to meet in the finals had to face opponents like tigers and wolves.

What the Lakers met was the Thunder, which had finally completed the system reconstruction after five years, and the opponent of the 76ers was the Knicks, who broke through the first round for the first time in 13 years.

On May 2013, 5, the semi-final Game 5 started.

The Knicks are a balanced team and a classic team.

They have a super one-on-one player, two strong assaulters, two tough insiders, and two experienced commanders.

Their offense revolves around one-on-one + high-speed ball transfer + long-range shots.

The 76ers are different. The four consecutive scoring champions are the ultimate offensive and defensive ends of the 76ers. The All-Star insider Cousins ​​​​is the second choice.

Unlike Cousins, who has grown into a star, Hayward's progress has been generally underestimated by the outside world.

He averaged double figures per game in the first two seasons, and averaged 14 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game this season.Considering his offensive status and possession of the ball, it is not easy to have this data.

The Knicks have a more balanced roster, while the 76ers have more talent and energy.

At the critical moment, the offense of the Knicks' ace Anthony is not as good as Wei Xia.Because Wei Xia is the scoring champion for four consecutive times, and Anthony has never won the scoring champion under the cover of Wei Xia and Durant.

The duel between him and Wei Xia will be a highlight that people talk about.

At the beginning, both sides showed their posture.

Anthony made a jumper with a step back and a jumper with a tentative step, while Wei Xia went straight to the basket and made consecutive kills.

Tyson Chandler's howling could not change the referee's tolerance. Wei Xia spotted him and made up his mind to let him have a foul crisis at halftime.

Anthony is intoxicated by the touch of the outside line, and he can't see that their inside line has a potential foul.

This paved the way for subsequent disintegration.

The players in the Knicks are all famous players in the world, but the team itself seems to be alienated from the atmosphere of the semifinals.

Except for Anthony, no one has shown good form.

In the second quarter, countless fans lamented the scene of youth returning.

Nash and Kidd are playing together.

In the past, the only way to see them match up in the playoffs was in the 2K game.Because one of them is in the west and the other is in the east, they are both supporting roles in the team now, but they bumped into each other by accident.

Kidd's fixed-point three-pointer is already handy, and Nash's projection is the signature. He played a dazzling offense, and his radar-like sight continuously sent beautiful balls to the 76ers' inside.

Farid alone has made several contributions with the help of Nash.

The old Nash is better than the old Kidd.The young Kidd is better than Nash in terms of comprehensiveness and defense. These two things are very physical. After getting old, the awareness, experience, and skills that play a role are all Nash's strengths.

For the first time, Doug Collins put out a lineup of Nash, Wecha, Hayward, Faried, and Cousins.

Wechat's defense filled Nash's deficiencies, and Faried's energy filled the 76ers' half court. His foul problem was serious, but tonight, everything will be fine.

The Knicks, who advocated using their strengths to fight their opponents' strengths, suffered a big loss.

The 76ers opened fire across the board, and the Knicks' offensive continued for halftime. Wesha took the initiative to find Anthony. He aggressively attacked and defended one-on-one, causing Anthony to misfire within a few minutes.

The loss of voice for a few minutes, the impact on the Knicks is not only a few points on the books, but also a signal to the New Yorkers: Melo is not as good as Wish!
Like a curse, help the 76ers win Game1.

⑴Well, I'm starting to look forward to Embiid and Simmons paying tribute to their predecessors.
