You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 808 Contemporary Lambir

The conference semifinals in the East are obviously not as interesting as the conference semifinals in the West.

The Warriors won one game first, and then the Grizzlies won two consecutive games, and the situation was reversed; the battle between the Rockets and the Clippers was even more dramatic.The Clippers deserved to be a cursed team. In the sixth game with the match point in hand, they had all the elements to advance. The Rockets were discorded, and Harden's life-and-death battle was sparse, forcing McHale to put Harden on the bench in the fourth quarter.

Then, the high-energy strikes, Josh Smith and Corey Brewer are like heavenly soldiers, and they just lead the team to achieve a 13-point reversal with the star players sitting off the court to watch the scenery.

Compared with the fierce battle in the West, in the East, the 76ers swept the Celtics, and the Cavaliers swept the second-ranked Eagles in four games.

It has to be said that even in this era of weak competitiveness, it is an undoubted fact that the west is strong and the east is weak.

There are only two top teams in the East, and even if Durant is reimbursed due to injury, the West can still find three or four first-line teams.

The final divisional final is a strong duel.

The 76ers played against the Cavaliers and the Warriors against the Rockets.

Wesha, James, Irving, Curry, Wall, Thompson, Harden.

The gods of the 90s have all retired from the big stage, and now it's a new era.

The focus of the conference finals is on the East.

Wei Xia and James, the two most talked about players in recent years.

Their rule began in 2010.

Although Kobe's Lakers won the championship that year, James won the MVP of that year.

从那一年起，2010-2015年，詹姆斯和韦夏囊括了6个MVP里的5个，6座总冠军里的3座——今年尚且悬而未决。

They began to have the same old enemy meaning as the sharks and stone Buddhas back then.

And in some respects, the scripts of O'Neill and Duncan were also repeated for Wesha and James.

At the beginning, both Shark and Stone Buddha were the heroes of the west. During the period from 1999 to 2007, except for 2004, when a group of grassroots picked peaches, these two won all the championships in other years.

If O'Neal and Duncan were divided in the East and the West at the time, then there is no doubt that it is the 21st century version of Chamberlain VS Russell.

It is a pity that they are all divided into the same class, so the peak duel is always staged in advance. Whoever wins the duel will go to the Eastern Conference team in the finals-from this point of view, Duncan made a mistake in 2004.

In the recent historical rankings published by ESPN, four active players have entered the top 15 in history.

They are Kobe Bryant, ranked eighth in history, Duncan ranked seventh in history, James ninth in history, and Wei Xia, No. 11 in history.

Bill Simmons called the top 13 people in history the "Pantheon" level.

But as the league grows longer, there will obviously be more and more people who will qualify for this tier.

Both Wei Xia and James have reached this level in their early 30s, and they will have a round of battles in the playoffs. For contemporary fans, it is also a blessing.

Moreover, this is also the fourth consecutive year that Weixia and James have met in the playoffs.

In the previous three times, James won twice, and now the fourth meeting, Wei Xia has a chance to "equalize" the score.

Before the start of the Eastern Conference Finals, although the 76ers won more than a dozen games in the regular season than the Cavaliers, various authoritative media still believed that this was a [-]-[-] series.

Because, as long as Weixia can't defend the championship, James will still be the emperor in the eyes of the media, and he is a veritable No. 1 in the league.And beside him, Wade, who is no longer holding back, faces Bosh, who often scores 1 rebound in the face of a big center.

Instead, it was replaced by the younger and sharper Irving, and Kevin Love, who created 30+30 No. 1 in a single game in modern basketball.

For the 76ers, they have better personnel reserves, a more complete tactical system, a deeper bench lineup, and a more harmonious core player.

Although this year's Wei Xia missed the great honor of the three consecutive DPOYs, he still won the double first round.

This is the fourth consecutive year that he has won the double first team. This is the peak Kobe Jordan-level offensive and defensive dominance.

At the same time, among his teammates is center Cousins, who has been elected to the first team for two consecutive years.

Hayward is also an underrated point.

The book lineup and athletic talent of the two teams are obviously stronger than other teams in the East. Therefore, in the first game, they played the highest level of the Eastern Conference civil war.

Although James' large triple-double and Cousins ​​were affected by fouls, Hayward's 30-point output filled his vacancy.

Game 76 between the 1ers and the Cavaliers is not strictly speaking an encounter.Because the regular season has already played a few games, but they didn't give their best to each other.

Therefore, when we meet again in the playoffs, it is easy to feel like we are playing against other opponents.

The 76ers have shown why they can win 71 games in the regular season for two consecutive years.

The depth of the lineup is stronger than that of the Cavaliers, and Wei Xia and Hayward both performed at a high level.

The 76ers won by 6 points.

James was very unwilling to lose the first game.

The data between him and Wei Xia clearly pointed out the difference between the two.

James' influence radiated the audience, with 35 points, 17 rebounds and 12 assists. Without him, even with Irving and Love, the Cavaliers are just a team that can barely play in the playoffs-this is already a very, very, very optimistic assumption.

With more James, the Cavaliers are the real favorites for the championship.

If James is the player who has the greatest influence on his team among all the super giants of the Pantheon, there should be no problem.

Before James, it was hard to see any championship team playing like it was going to compete for the top pick after leaving the head star.

All teams with James will suffer from James King dependence.

Wei Xia's data is much "simple".

40分5篮板5助攻，他的数据远远不如詹姆斯全面。詹姆斯的支持者们也大可抱着“多出12篮板7助攻难道不比那仅仅5分的差距出色？”来***。这非常合理。

Wei Xia's data is also very comprehensive, but not as dazzling as James.

Moreover, the performance of 4 steals and 3 blocks on the defensive end was underestimated by everyone.

The first game lost to the 76ers was the second game the Cavaliers lost in the playoffs.

So James would say: "When we lose Game1, the series really begins."

Wei Xia never pretended to be profound in this way.

He will only play one game and watch one game, adjust if there is a problem, and be prepared for danger if there is no problem.

The variable in the Eastern Conference finals is in Game [-].

Although James threatened to lose the first game, the series really started, but in the second game, they had almost no resistance and were frantically slaughtered by the 76ers.

Kevin Love's defense was ordered continuously by Wesha with pick-and-roll tactics.

The media all over the United States are spraying Love's defense, and almost no one will lead the war to James. The team suffered a disastrous defeat, but his statistics are as gorgeous as a big victory; 32 points, 19 rebounds and 7 assists.

He averaged the most rebounds per game of the two teams, and Cousins ​​did not grab as many rebounds as he did.

Second only to Rondo in assists per game.

The scoring average is second only to Wei Xia.

Comprehensive, or comprehensive.

However, the core reason why Love was ordered by Wei Xia was that the Cavaliers never let their most powerful defender face Wei Xia.

The 76ers have never worried about whether Weixia will be blown up by James, because no one can blow him up at the 1V1 level.

The Cavaliers are worried that James will repeat last year's tragedy.

Wei Xia unilaterally faced James on the defensive end, and called a pick-and-roll on the offensive end to force the Cavaliers to let James switch defenses.If the Cavaliers don't come, Love or another bad defensive player will be responsible for blocking the gun.

But Wei Xia is not a good man and a believer. If you rush forward like this, you will naturally use your poor defense to use your strength to blow him up.

Game3 is a game that establishes the situation for the series.

In order to defend the home court, all the Cavaliers played well.

James led the Royal Salute to play Cleveland's prestige. Love scored 9 three-pointers in a single game and scored 32 points in the game.

The problem is Loew.

When the overall situation was settled, Love and the 76ers' backup center Ryan Hollins fought hand-to-hand.

They all wanted a rebound, but for some unknown reason, Love shot from behind when the rebound was firmly grasped by Hollins.

In an instant, Hollins clamped Love's arm, and naturally used an anti-joint grappling technique, which made the latter howl on the spot.

The referee blew his whistle, and the angry Clevelanders almost drowned Hollins with their boos.

Hollins, who had already confirmed the name of contemporary Lambiel, claimed the penalty without changing his expression.

When everyone saw Love leaving the field with his badly injured right arm, they should know that the trend of this round of the series may have been set.
