Forward to the basket

The second round of the Eastern Conference staged a strong counterattack of the new generation, while the second round of the Western Conference seemed quite satisfactory. After killing the Mavericks, the Warriors originally wanted to use this momentum to get rid of the Utah Jazz led by Sloan.

But Sloan's sophistication is not inferior to the old Nelson's. The "Little General" made mistakes, and he will not repeat the same mistakes, and facing the Warriors' whirlwind, the Jazz's countermeasures are simpler and more direct.

If you want to fast break, then I will give you a fast break, 119:112, this big score even makes many people wonder if they read it wrong, is this fucking Utah Jazz game?They lost 112 points! ?

You must know that the average points conceded by these guys in the regular season is only 98 points. If this score is left in the regular season, it will definitely be a big defeat!And this must be the kind of rout that rolls and crawls.

But Sloan's team just won, and they won very simply. They have been in the lead for four full quarters, and they have been using offense to suppress the Warriors. This is completely a non-mainstream counterattack.

And this kind of suppression is the fast break counterattack. The ratio of inside points is 50:46. The Jazz have a slight advantage, but in the statistics of fast break, they scored 9 points more than the Warriors, which is very unexpected.

At 28:19, this is the scoring efficiency of the two sides on the fast break and counterattack. The weapon that the Warriors can defeat the Mavericks was broken by Slong Gaba. Even the old Nelson kept scratching his head after the game.

An old lunatic who was tricked by another old guy. He thought that the crazy bombardment would cause more trouble for Sloan's team. As a result, the other party did the opposite and directly called you attack!

Everyone knows that the Warriors live on fast breaks. They don't have a good inside line. They bombard the lunatics with one vote, and then they are pinched by the old Nelson. Although they are not as good as the Suns, that kind of ruthlessness can still set off a wild storm.

But no one would have thought that the old Sloan set up such a formation for the old Nelson in Salt Lake City. The Warriors want to bombard, then you run, and then I will run more fiercely, more efficiently and score more fiercely than you !

This kind of offensive routine of reverse thinking directly disrupted the rhythm of the Warriors. It turned out that they defeated the Mavericks with a burst of bravery, but this time they encountered someone who was even more difficult than them.

The opening was a 37:35 confrontation scene. It is estimated that many people were shocked when they watched the game. No one would have thought that the confrontation between the Jazz and the Warriors would be so hot and such a high score.

Although the final point difference was not that big, the way the Jazz won the game was to slap the Warriors solidly. At home, they won the game with the style their opponents are best at.

This is not only as simple as winning a game, but also a fatal blow to the opponent's confidence. You group of Golden State gangsters can bombard us, and our Jazz can too. Sloan's response is simple and effective.

The most important thing is to use your strongest weapon to attack, and we will fight back in the same way, but the view left by Sloan to others is that the Jazz now have a solid defense available in addition to offense.

Don't forget, they relied on their tenacious defense to complete the reversal when they fell behind the Rockets by a big score of 0:2. The Jazz also built up the defensive walls?Is there any other way for Nelson to overwhelm Sloan's defense?

After all, the combination of Okur, Kirilenko, and Boozer is not so easy to break through. The Warriors don't have a big man like O'Neal under the basket, and there is no lunatic like Chen Feng who can be ruthless at any time.

Anyway, many people could see from the first match that the old Nelson's way of dealing with his apprentice could not get any advantage from Sloan, and the strength and patience of the Jazz were far stronger than that of the Mavericks.

At least now, no one thinks that the Warriors can continue to be black to the end, just like the Knicks at the beginning, all the way to the finals, at least they don't have the ability for the time being, and their luck is almost exhausted.

The Mavericks are a tragedy, but the Jazz probably won't follow in their footsteps. Sloan's team is not so easy to collapse. This is not a final game, but the ending of the Warriors is gradually becoming clear.

Compared with the confrontation between the Jazz and the Warriors, the most eye-catching game in the second round is probably the fight between the Spurs and the Suns, and these two teams did not live up to this expectation.

At 111:106, like the Jazz, the Spurs, who were on an away game, also relied on offense to defeat the opponent's crazy impact at the last moment when facing the Suns' bombardment.

At 34:31, the score in the last quarter was the key to the Spurs winning the game, and it was an arrow piercing the heart at the last moment. That shot made Chen Feng's teeth itch.

"His sister, it's that old guy again." It was fun to watch, but when Robert Horry threw a three-pointer from the corner again to extinguish the possibility of the Suns counterattack, Chen Feng cursed in a low voice .

No way, Chen Feng couldn't forget that he was standing on the sidelines of the Spurs, watching the second when Horry made the game-winning shot. After fighting for so long in that game, he was just one step away. In the end, the old guy Give Yin.

This matter is definitely not something that can be described as grudges, "Next time you meet the Spurs, you must kill that old guy in advance, it's too dangerous! You know how to hide in various corners and shoot cold arrows! Scumbag !"

Indeed, the fans and players of the Suns also want to call Robert Horry a scumbag. This guy scored 8 points in the game, all of which were concentrated in the last quarter. In reality, he made a mid-range shot and then made two consecutive three-pointers!

Damn, who can bear this?That's really hard work!You can't see a figure for a long time, and then when you see clearly where this guy is, it means that the ball has gone into the basket, and it is still hollow!

The Suns were already charging very fiercely, but it was just such an old guy, as well as those old goblins from Vivić and the Spurs, who seized such a small gap and won the game.

After working hard for 47 minutes, they were defeated lightly in the last 60 seconds. The Suns were breathless and annoyed at the loss, but all they could do was sigh and say ruthlessly that they would definitely win the next game.

But damn it's your home court, even if you win the second game, you still lose a home court advantage!Still counting on returning to the Spurs' territory, they will let you easily take away a victory?

This kind of strong dialogue, a second of slack, can make all the efforts in vain. When Rivers led the team to watch the live broadcast of the game, he said to all the players, "Learn lessons from others." .”

Like the Spurs, the Pistons' key ball handling ability is not yet comparable to the Celtics. Once it is delayed to the final lore moment, Rivers must remind his players to always tighten their nerves.

Otherwise, the Celtics are likely to end up with the Suns and be defeated by the opponent's lore.

Moreover, the loss of the Suns can be regarded as a wake-up call to the Celtics. The violent offense may not always kill you a bloody path. The Spurs' defense at the last moment is the key to victory.

The playoffs rely on defense. Although the Spurs also scored 111 points, the defensive skills of these guys can still suppress the Suns' firepower to the lowest efficiency and make their offense dull.

"The Suns' shooting percentage was 5 percentage points lower than in the first round, especially in the last quarter. Even though they scored 31 points, the scoring opportunities in the offense were basically concentrated on Stoudemire's point. It's easy to get shut down by the Spurs' defense, and that's what it turns out to be, and that's where they lose."

Rivers and Thibodeau watch the game video for analysis, what they want is to find their own problems from others, watch other people's losses, and remind themselves, don't look at the Celtics playing very hot now, but they are attacking The burst of firepower at the end relies on the charge of one or two people. Once surrounded, it is easy to go wrong. The Suns were exhausted in the last quarter. The Celtics don't want to repeat this failure experience.

To win this series, Rivers still has a lot to consider, such as tactical arrangements, such as on-the-spot response, but now the pressure on the Celtics is not so great, and the Pistons will be a failure if they do not compete for the championship. , but Boston has just come out of the ruins, and they are just familiarizing themselves with the playoffs.

Just like what Auerbach said, Boston's sense of the playoffs has wasted almost 20 years. Although there were times when they reached the Eastern Conference finals, they spent more time hovering in the trough.

"If you want to be the leader of the league again and win the championship, first of all, you have to understand how far you can play in the playoffs, find that feeling, and let Boston gradually warm up in the fierce confrontation."

The Cardinal expects the team to restore its previous dominance, but he also understands that this is no longer the era when the Celtics dominated the world. Whether it is the Spurs, the Pistons, or even the Cavaliers have advantages over Boston.

These opponents are more familiar with the battlefield that once belonged to Boston, and what the Celtics can do now is to rediscover their feeling in the playoffs, which will not be done overnight.

Rivers didn't expect himself to achieve a great season like the Black Eight Miracle, but he understands how to make the team reap results in such a high-intensity confrontational game.

"Every game is learning. Only by constantly absorbing more effective things can we fight back. There will be another championship banner on the roof of the North Shore Garden Arena."

The shortcomings of 20 years cannot be made up in an instant, but amidst the turmoil, these cattle from Boston are moving forward silently, and they are seizing every opportunity to show their strength.

This is their game, no one knows how long it will last, but these guys know a little bit.

That is, it will not surrender without a fight, no matter who the opponent is facing, the Spurs?piston?Sorry, we won't admit defeat, even if you can defeat us, what we lose is only score, not courage.

The glory of Boston can only be restored by relying on these wild boys and their fierce temperament...

(It’s late, I’m sorry, actually I don’t want to write too much about the playoffs, after all, it’s not the end of the book, but this is a learning process, I may be trying to write, if it’s not good, forgive me. )
