Forward to the basket

The Pistons defended their home court advantage, but they only secured one victory. No one wanted to mention the previous failure, but Sanders and Detroit fans knew that winning was nothing more than an equalizer.

A victory is nothing more than dragging the two sides back to the same starting line, and everything has to start again.

The Celtics have a record of one win and one loss in the away game, which is not bad. At least the Boston media thinks this is very scientific. Being able to pull out a game on the Eastern Conference's boss site is itself a kind of victory.

Although the Pistons' home performance has declined this season, they are still the vanguard in the Eastern Conference. Their record is not dazzling, but it is still a bit better than the pursuers behind. This is an indisputable fact.

It is said that the East is weak and the West is strong. In fact, this is not unfounded. If the results of the Pistons are placed in the West, they can only swing around the fourth or fifth place at most. Compared with the Mavericks, their wins are ten times worse. As many as a few games.

One of the Heat's flashes of inspiration last season was to kill the Mavericks in the West, but this season, who can defend the honor of the East, it is estimated that no one can give an answer, even the Pistons, now it seems a bit powerless.

Some commentators even pessimistically believe that within two or three seasons, the strength of the West will overwhelm the East.

"Although there are big sharks like O'Neal returning to the Eastern Conference, the gap between the two sides cannot be reversed by the arrival of one person. The average level of the Western Conference team is indeed more competitive than the Eastern Conference."

But in this three-acre land in the east, the Pistons are still the boss, and they are still unshakable in the short term.

Even Murphy, a diehard, said, "Even if the Pistons are not as strong as before, they can still easily occupy the top position in the regular season in the Eastern Conference. This in itself is a symbol of strength."

"Don't look at the rapid rise of the Cavaliers this season. If they want to truly become the leader of the Eastern Conference, James needs to pay more attention, and the management of Cleveland needs to find some help for him."

It's not without reason that Murphy said this. Anyway, the Cavaliers' regular season results are also the second in the Eastern Conference.

But the performance of this group of guys in the playoffs is that they really didn’t see any dominance. The matchup with the Nets in the first round was stumbling. When they met the Bulls in the second round, the two sides may have another game. dogfight.

Facts have proved that what Murphy said is correct. After the Pistons drew with the Celtics, the confrontation between the Cavaliers and the Bulls was also a 1:1 situation. The Clevelands finally pulled back. .

Just like the Pistons, the Cavaliers are in a situation where they cannot retreat after losing Game [-]. If they lose their second home-court advantage, then they are likely to return to Chicago as a result of being swept.

<The storm is raging, once they go crazy, no one can stop them.

Just like this group of guys beating the Spurs and the Suns at home, they were really kicked out by these calves. Those sharp horns might stab someone to death, and the people of Cleveland don't want to be a living target.

With 36 points, 12 assists and 3 steals, the little emperor launched a frenzied attack amid the cheers of [-] Cleveland fans. From the first second after the game started, this guy fiercely raised the heavy spear of the Cavaliers.

The depression and depression of the first game were completely released by the little emperor. The 48 fans in the Quicken Loans Arena enjoyed almost [-] minutes, and the little emperor played almost the entire game.

Mike Brown completely gave James the command on the court, and his role on the sidelines was to make substitutions.

I have to say that if you simply consider what kind of nanny a team should have, Mike Brown must be a very qualified candidate, because this guy rarely has conflicts with the top stars in his team.

Just like Rivers' private evaluation of Mike Brown, "He is with James, and he is more like an assistant coach. If necessary, he can even give the on-the-spot command to the little emperor."

Such a coach is estimated to be liked by a superstar, because he will not tell you what to do and what not to do like Larry Brown or **, he will make you do whatever you want.

Even Mike Brown himself said, "With a player like James playing under him, many things will become very simple, because you only need to give him the ball, and then watch him perform. To be a good spectator, to appreciate every attack he makes, every score he makes from the sidelines."

With such an expression, you can say that he is giving confidence to his players, but what more people interpret may mean something else. Excessive compliments and protection are sometimes not necessarily a good thing.

Rivers also believed that the presence of Chen Feng and Rondo was very important to the team, but if these two boys messed up for nothing, they should be dealt with.

The right way to control subordinates is to give kindness and strength together. At least Auerbach will not coax anyone so lowly. Even a superstar like Bill Russell has to be a good baby in front of the bishop.

In fact, Phil Jackson did the same thing. You can see the communication between him and Jordan, but it is definitely not following Jordan’s arrangement. It should be the work of the "Zen Master" and will never let anyone interfere with him.

But the smartest thing about Mike Brown is to hide behind James. When he wins, everyone cheers for the little emperor. If he loses, the first person bombarded by the media is the little emperor who has been standing in front.

It's just that the Cavaliers were the winners this time. They won the game at home 102:92. The little emperor's violent performance of brushing data suppressed the Bulls' firepower net. They won by 9 points in the last quarter.

Although the data of the little emperor was beautiful, the game was delayed until the last few minutes to decide the outcome. At the critical moment, the Bulls' shooting accuracy suddenly dropped, and they did not score for more than 100 seconds in a row. This made the Cavaliers continue to lead. Expand, and when they regain their touch, the gap of more than 10 points can no longer be caught up.

However, after watching the video of the game, Rivers and Thibodeau also gave an evaluation, "If they continue to play in this state, even if the Cavaliers win, they will definitely lose after entering the Eastern Conference Finals."

"This kind of offensive mode that relies too much on individuals will always collapse at critical moments once it encounters a particularly strong defensive opponent. With James, no one can help him, which will be very fatal."

It is estimated that they are not the first to see this problem, but this is already the playoffs. Even if the Cavaliers want to supplement the thickness of the lineup, it is also a problem to consider after the arrival of summer.

No matter how they think about it now, they have to stick to this lineup and continue to fight the Bulls. Maybe the people of Cleveland can pray that the performance of the little emperor can keep every game so fierce.

Otherwise, if the little emperor's fire is turned off, who can take them forward?Larry Hughes?Or the injury-ridden Marshall?Anyway, Gooden's contribution is just that, and it's a bit unreliable to count on him.

Anyway, the score was tied anyway. The question the Cavaliers have to consider is whether they can win the game in Chicago and then go back to the Quicken Loans Arena.

In fact, it is not only the fierce fighting here in the East, but also in the West. Although the Utah Jazz has a 2-0 lead, the second game did not come to a conclusion until overtime.

The old Nelson's team went crazy again, but this time they failed to seize the lore opportunity in the fourth quarter, leaving Sloan a sigh of relief. As a result, the old guy completed a double play against the Warriors in overtime.

The score of 127:117 seems to be frightening. If the Warriors' three-pointers can be a little more accurate, the final outcome of this game is really hard to say. Anyway, Sloan thought he was lucky after the game.

However, although the old Nelson lost two games, the old guy had put down his harsh words before leaving Salt Lake City, "Back to the Oakland Stadium, we will let the Jazz know what the craziest offense is!"

It can be seen that this crazy old man is very brooding about his team losing in overtime.

Moreover, if the Warriors took a deep breath, if they really return to their home court, no one knows how far they can go. Maybe just like they overturned the Mavericks, there will be miracles at the Oakland Stadium?

The anger of the Warriors vowing revenge has not dissipated, and a team with more offensive firepower than them has also completed a self-salvation. The Phoenix Suns finally defended their honor at home.

In the first game, Yu was suppressed by the opponent's offense to live and die. In the second game, Nash led a group of fierce men such as Stoudemire Jr. and Marion. They really brought the bombardment tactics to an extreme.

Chasing three-pointers, half-court alley-oops, all kinds of sneaky throws, as long as they can score, these guys almost use them all. It can be said that this makes the Spurs hard to guard against.

At 101:81, the Spurs had a net loss of 20 points for the first time in this playoffs, especially in the last quarter, where they were outscored by their opponents by 13 points!The Suns played a 30:17 spurt.

That is, the last small climax directly overwhelmed the Spurs' counterattack firepower. Even Vitch admitted that they originally planned to counterattack in the fourth quarter, but in the end, the opponent's offense was even more fierce than theirs.

Eight teams, after two rounds of fighting, three of them ended up in a 1:1 situation. Even if the Jazz lead 2:0, it doesn't look very reliable. The bloodbath in the first round is gone, and the real fight , began to become tragic.

This is similar to what Chen Feng said, "Everyone is busy fighting to death. It is really uncertain who will have the last laugh. Maybe the result will be beyond the expectations of many people. This is an era of melee."

In the endless fight, there will always be someone who kills a bloody path, but before that, let these guys continue to be crazy, this is the playoffs, where the winner is king...

(Suppressing the headache, I finished writing, uh, I have behaved well recently, be good, don’t you think about praising me?)
