Forward to the basket

The playoffs in the Western Conference were extremely lively, with the steady progress of the old strong teams and the embarrassing situation of the Mavericks. Although it has always been said that the Western Conference is strong and the Eastern Conference is weak, the situation in the Eastern Conference is relatively stable.

The West has already started the playoff battle, and the East is not idle. The confrontation between the Magic and the Pistons is also staged as scheduled. Unlike the Mavericks who were overthrown by the Black Warriors, the Pistons did not make that kind of embarrassing mistake.

Two games in a row at home, without any suspense, 100:90, 98:88, both games were played calmly.

The Magic's offensive firepower has been fully released, but compared with the old-fashioned Pistons, they are still immature like a kindergartener who has not graduated. In a state of being restrained, there is a whole body of strength, but no opportunity to display it.

Although the two consecutive games have double-double data and averaged 15+ rebounds per game, as long as the Pistons start to strengthen their defense in the last quarter, Howard will be sent off, and it is two consecutive games.

"That is a fairly mature system. Although Larry Brown is gone, the overall structure of the Pistons has not yet been dismantled. As long as Sanders is not an idiot, the performance of the Pistons will not decline too much."

Although many people are saying that the Pistons are still a strong candidate for the championship, but in the eyes of an old and cunning guy like Auerbach, this is nothing more than Larry Brown's foundation for Detroit.

Although the old guy left for Charlotte, the overall structure of the Pistons is still the team that won the championship. Only "Big Ben" Wallace went to the Chicago Bulls, and the rest of the main force remained in Detroit.

Billups is still one of the best point guards in the East, and he has a big heart. Rao Nelson has flourished in the Magic, but he still can't play against such an old fritter with excellent offensive and defensive skills.

The data of the two games is the most intuitive reaction. Billups scored 22 points and 11 assists in the first game, and scored 21 points, 8 assists and 3 steals in the second game. Control the tempo.

Although Nelson's statistics in the regular season are very impressive, but in the playoffs, when he collided with an old guy like Billups, he immediately showed his true colors. He only had 10 points and 3 assists in the first game, and 9 points in the second game. 3 assists plus 4 turnovers, just such a bad performance, let alone control the rhythm, just the embarrassing performance of being completely blown out by Billups on the defensive end is enough to make him helplessly raise his hand and surrender.

The main point guard is weak, Howard fouled too much inside, and was sent off in both games. If it weren't for Grant Hill and Turkoglu's mid-range and long-range shots, the game would have lost its suspense.

Now not many people doubt that this series will be a sweeping ending, although the head coach of the Magic, Brian Hill, is still claiming that when they return to the home court, they will definitely give the Pistons some color.

But everyone knows that this is just singing loudly while walking at night, to give yourself courage, not to mention what kind of ability the Magic can play when they return to the home court, just watching the regular season competition, you know that they are at home. There is no full confidence that they can kill the Pistons. Even if they can win one or two games, they are just lingering. What Brian Hill said to the media is more of self-comfort.

Everyone knows that this guy's life in the Magic team is not much. Although he didn't say anything publicly, the management of the Magic team has no patience. , Holding a card like Howard, he can only be ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference. This level is really good.

But now no one cares about Brian Hill's future, but for the Magic, what they have to consider is not how to reverse the playoff confrontation with the Pistons.

"If the Magic team's lineup is not adjusted, they will be the same next year." Tarkanian's comment is more direct, but this guy also has the elements of public revenge, who made the Magic's management team lose face at all Just like this old fox was fired, that was the first time this old man took up the coach in nba.

"With a big guy like Dwyane, even if they want to be stingy, it's impossible for them, unless they don't plan to keep this rare and strong insider, although their personal skills are really rough."

Thibodeau's analysis angle is always based on personal performance. There are not many big guys like Howard in the current league, especially O'Neal is completely old, and someone has to carry the banner of the center. No matter how you say it, a local seed like Howard is worth cultivating once.

Moreover, the Magic has been trying to restore the era when they had Hardaway and O'Neal. It is impossible to let that big guy go easily. It must be inevitable for them to strengthen the lineup next season.

But this time in the playoffs, they are at best struggling under the Pistons. It is basically impossible for them to make a comeback. Not being swept away is already the best ending.

For the Celtics, the level of competition shown by the Pistons in the playoffs is the most noteworthy issue. Compared with the regular season, these Detroit guys are more efficient offensively.

"Sanders is not like the Brown guy. He will always be a primary school student on defense, but on offense, he can indeed bring something different to the Pistons, although that change will break a certain balance."

Rivers and Thibodeau almost focused on the Pistons. After all, the Magic are unable to reverse, but if the Celtics get the Raptors, the next one to hit is the Pistons.

"A group of difficult guys..." This is what Rivers and Thibodeau said about the Pistons. A team that can win the championship, as long as the team is still there, they will play very strong in the playoffs .

They can rush to No. [-] in the Eastern Conference in the regular season. They don’t show their strengths, and they can’t tell where they are strong. But once you meet them, you can feel the pain of the current Magic team. That kind of awkwardness is really not good. describe.

However, with the Magic team in front of the thunder, the Celtics can finally be a spectator. The Pistons are not in trouble for a day or two. Rivers also knows it. It is not that simple to want to break the wrist with the boss of the Eastern Conference. .

The relationship between the Magic and the Pistons was calm, but the deadly clash between the Nets and the Cavaliers was full of sparks. Although Kidd and the Nets were no longer the team that reached the Finals twice, they were still the same team. Terrifyingly strong, once the critical playoff stage is reached, these guys will sweep away the downturn in the previous regular season.

1:1. Although the Cavaliers hold the home court advantage and rank second in the Eastern Conference, it is still a headache to meet such a tough opponent as the Nets, especially Cavaliers point guard Snow.

Compared with Kidd, Snow can be regarded as a veteran point guard, but after this old guy left from the 76ers, his state has been declining all the way. When he arrived at the Cavaliers, he was more like waiting to die.

Moreover, Snow himself is a traditional guard with a very slow speed. Although Kidd is not Nash's high-speed impact with his feet on hot wheels, he is still fully confident if he only eats Snow.

On the point of point guard alone, the Cavaliers were blown away. Kidd had quasi-triple-doubles in both games. Apart from scoring in double figures, he was perfect in both rebounds and assists. Burst Snow.

Moreover, the Nets also have Carter, Jefferson, and Collins, Ilgauskas who bullies the semi-disabled in the interior, and Varejao, who is flopping, are not difficult. challenge.

But the Cavaliers can kill the Nets in one game, relying on the perfect data of the little emperor, 23 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, 28 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, such data, with a second-in-command Larry Hughes.

No matter how the Nets block it, the Cavaliers have the opportunity to open the gap. One-on-one defense, whether it is Carter or Jefferson, can't stare at the little emperor with a body like a football player.

And whenever there is physical contact, the referee is always more inclined to attack the side, which made the Nets suffer a lot in the second game. Once they are in defense, they must always guard against the little emperor's singles with the ball.

There is no strong man like Martin to carry it inside. When encountering such an unreasonable charge by the little emperor, even if the old Kidd is strategizing, he still cannot bear it sometimes.

The second game crashed in the last quarter. Both Carter and Jefferson fouled six times, and then they could only watch the little emperor turn on the scoring mode when the game was over with 5 minutes left.

If it weren't for too many fouls, maybe the Nets could really give the Cavaliers a head-on blow. Not to mention copying the Warriors' black-eight pattern in the Western Conference, they could also teach Cleveland a profound lesson.

However, most people still bet on the Cavaliers. In any case, with the ferocious momentum of the little emperor, the Nets really can't find a way to stop him.

If Carter and Kidd's performance is a little turbulent, the Nets will not be able to withstand the charge of the Cavaliers. After all, one is on the rise, the other is stagnant, and it is still a bit downhill.

Regardless of how good the Nets' record was in the past, in their twilight years, they could at most play the role of blocking the way. As for whether they can overthrow the Cavaliers, it is estimated that even Kidd has no idea.

However, it is not so easy for the Cavaliers to get through the Nets in a safe and sound manner. It is useless to sweep the Nets. Five games?This matter is also a bit unreliable, maybe it will be delayed until the seventh game.

The Bulls and the Heat are also inseparable. One is a strong team of the new generation, and the other is the last championship. When the two sides meet, they will fight hard. Both games are dragged to the last minute to decide the outcome. With their advantage in experience, the Heat used Payton's pass and O'Neal's inside support to allow Wade to seize the opportunity for the lore, but in the second game, these old guys were stunned by the Bulls' fast break. Yes, Skiles also understood that if you have to fight for details, if you can't play with these old fritters, then fight for speed!

A group of bulls from the Bulls ran wildly, and even Ben Wallace didn't play to contain O'Neal. The whole of Chicago was purely playing speed, fast break, rebounding, and personal steals. It was all about using the body to play, Don't think about tactics, details, or stability with you, just play with passion.

But this kind of desperate offensive effect did cause a lot of trouble for the Heat. Like Walker, Payton, if these old guys play positional battles step by step, they may be able to last for more than 30 minutes, but if they are so endless Playing back and forth, these guys are in their thirties anyway, and it is impossible for them to run more fiercely than the bulls. When they dragged on to the fourth quarter, they collapsed physically!

Except for Wade who can still move, the rest of them can't do it anymore, and after the technology is deformed, they can't stop the Bulls' offensive wave at all, and the defense is completely defeated by the opponent. <, apart from your rich experience, all you have are immobile legs.

He won the first game at 90:88, but lost the second game at 92:110. With such a gap, even Pat Riley couldn't think of a good way, and he could only sigh.

Last year they relied on experience and Wade's sprint to beat the Mavericks, but today, the wild bulls may step on the corpse of the defending champion and enter the next round.

The head-to-head battles of the first six teams were very hot, but when it came to the Celtics, it was as calm as water. In the two games, they won a solid 2:0.

Just as predicted before the game, in the North Shore Garden Arena in Boston, the Raptors, who had lost twice, were still tragic. They also fought, but the ending remained the same.

Michelle really had the idea of ​​​​changing formations, but within 3 minutes of the opening, this guy could only decisively change the offensive focus back to Chris Bosh, because TJ Ford's life is really hard.

Originally, I wanted the small Ford to be a vanguard to charge the Celtics. As a result, Rivers prepared two big locks for Ford here, one is Rondo, and the other is Stanley. Prewell, it might be easier to pass Rondo, but if you think about Sprewell, then Ford is definitely courting death!

Sprewell, who had cultivated in the iron-blooded age in New York, had never been a soft-hearted and kind person. How dare most people beat him?That sincerity can do it for you, pass people, pass the ball, or vice versa.

There was a technical foul on the field, which was a gift from Sprewell to Ford. As a result, TJ Ford was a little scared at the time. This kid can't be blamed for it, but the old monster's attack was too ruthless.

You have already made a layup, and you are still slapped on the back of the head, plus a hard elbow, which is too dark.

Michelle really wanted to cry without tears at the time, she couldn't beat him in the first place, and then her defense was so black-handed!This **** is still letting people live!People just want to struggle, do they use it like this!

Don't say that Michelle is in tears, even Chris Bosh is the same, but Chen Feng is still very inhuman and muttering behind his back, "It's okay, it's only 4:0, bear with it and pass it, we Designate not to be procrastinating, we are sending you home to make a fuss, if you have any grudges, save it for next year."

At this time, there is no need to save character, what Chen Feng and his gang want is a quick battle!Get rid of the Raptors and wait for the next opponent, whether it is a reversal of the Magic or a bloodbath of the Pistons, it is the same.

After a season of silence, these Boston animals will definitely use the most shocking carbine to fight their way out...
