Chapter 455 Tangled Cleveland

Compared with the Celtics' easy pass, the remaining teams in the East can't be so comfortable. They have to fight their opponents desperately, instead of being safe as spectators after four games.

You can only envy things like sweeping, but you can't be jealous, because you can't enjoy this treatment because of jealousy.

The Celtics were able to kill the Eagles, relying on their strong control, from offense to defense, they can hold the opponent in the palm of their hands. Even if the Eagles want to take a leap, they have to weigh whether they have enough weight.

Facts have proved that the troubles that the Atlanta people can cause are only a little bit, and they can't threaten the Celtics' top position in the league. They were swept four to zero, which can only show that they are really too weak.

The situation in the Eastern Conference is like this. The strengths and weaknesses are distinct. The top four teams all have strong competitiveness, but the teams behind them all have their own shortcomings. The impact of the Eagles is only at this level now. .

Therefore, those competitors who are looking forward to the Celtics' stumble can only withdraw their thoughts and start to examine their own campaign history. After all, they have not yet been able to deal with their opponents.

Even the Orlando Magic, which has a certain advantage in the score, only drew 1:1 with the Raptors in the two away games, but they can have an advantage in the home game and lead in the score.

But the score of 3:1 does not mean that they have a chance to win. After all four games, they won the three games they won by five or six points. Basically, the winner is decided in the last minute. .

Who can be like the beasts of the Celtics, who can seal the victory after three quarters and let the game enter garbage time, alas, people are dead compared to others, goods must be thrown away, and it is pure to compete with the Celtics ask for it.

Now Boston can rest with peace of mind, and Rivers can also allow players to recover from minor injuries and illnesses. As for maintaining state, he doesn't have to worry too much. He knows that the guys under him will not let up.

Relaxing your vigilance and self-destroying the Great Wall will never happen to the Celtics. Their fighting spirit is high, and these guys are eager to fight continuously. They really want the championship ring too much.

Just like after Garnett got the Eagles, this guy even wanted to fight the Wizards or the Cavaliers immediately. For him, passing the first round of the playoffs was just overcoming the first obstacle.

Garnett, Ray Allen, Pierce, these guys in their 30s are all desperate for a championship.

They will slack?Sorry, this assumption is not valid, at least for now, they are all very crazy!

Therefore, Rivers does not have to worry about the length of the waiting process. On the contrary, he now has plenty of time to observe his next opponent, whether it is the Wizards or the Cavaliers, will be the next threshold.

As for who to choose as the opponent, that is not a question for Rivers to consider. He is now more like a hunter, quietly observing the prey's weaknesses, and striving for a chance to kill with one blow when he encounters the opponent.

This feeling of being watched must be uncomfortable, but the Wizards and the Cavaliers are more concerned about each other.

These two teams probably don't have time to think about the second round. They are all focused on their opponents. After all, whether they can break through the opponent's deadly blockade is still a problem.

No one expected that the competition would be so fierce. Although the Wizards and Cavaliers ranked fourth and fifth in the Eastern Conference, many people believed that the ranking of the Cavaliers did not represent their true abilities.

After all, they have a little emperor who averaged 30+ per game, a standard top swingman, and they were able to reach the finals last season, and this season they even competed with the Celtics for the top spot in the East.

Their strength is obvious to all, otherwise at the beginning of the season, bookmakers would not have offered odds. The Cavaliers' championship coefficient is only slightly lower than that of the Spurs, and it can be said that they are the absolute favorites to win the championship.

Of course, the odds were also adjusted in the later stage. After all, no one expected that the Celtics, who had just undergone a transfer, would be so fierce, but the competitiveness of the Cavaliers is there, and no one can ignore their existence.

The most important thing is that no one can ignore the role of the little emperor. In the post-Kobe era, James is a big offensive weapon. Although this guy's shooting efficiency is still low, who dares to say that he is not a scoring machine?

Not everyone can get the data of averaging 30+ points per game!The little emperor's scoring champion is not in vain!

There is such a guy on your team, rebounding, assists, steals, everything, plus super scoring ability, can you ignore his existence?Which coach can not pay attention to the impact brought by the little emperor?Therefore, the odds of the Cavaliers winning the championship naturally increased because of the presence of the little emperor.

This kind of team shouldn't be ranked in this position at all, second or third, they really shouldn't fall out of the top three in the Eastern Conference, but even so, the Wizards can't stop the Cavaliers from advancing.

At least before the start of the first round of the playoffs, these predictions are the views of most people, even the media in Washington are saying, "To prevent the impact of the Cavaliers, this task seems really difficult now. "

"They have the experience of the finals, and the all-round skills of the little emperor. Against them, it will be a severe test for the current Wizards. I only hope that Arenas will go crazy by then!"

It cannot be said that the media in Washington is self-deprecating, but it has to be said that the Wizards reached fifth place in the Eastern Conference because of the ups and downs of the Raptors and Eagles at the end of the season, which gave the Wizards a chance to overtake.

At the beginning of the season, no one thought that the Wizards team after Arenas' injury could burst out with such combat effectiveness, and they could persist until the "General" came back, and then the team went all the way to the fifth place in the Eastern Conference!

But no one could have imagined that when the Wizards met the Cavaliers in this public opinion environment, they would burst out with an incomparably wild will to fight. These guys, like a dagger, stabbed the young emperor.

It is said that when Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, that guy had a vicious vigor, so when the wizards ran into the little emperor, the cold light emitted from the daggers they were holding was equally captivating.

Perhaps the war of words before the start of the game had already indicated that this confrontation would be very gunpowder, but many people thought it was a few guys from the Wizards talking hard, and they just didn't want to lose to their opponents in terms of morale.

But it turns out that guys like Arenas and Stevenson are not only stubborn, they are all crazy.

Stevenson said before the game that the little emperor is an overrated and spoiled baby. He is not suitable for such a fierce competition. He can only play with the wind under the care of the coach and parents. ball.

This hatred is absolutely well-reasoned, and Stevenson really caused a lot of trouble for the little emperor.

Tough and desperate, this is Stevenson's trick to deal with the little emperor, there is no fancy, as long as he seizes the opportunity, this guy will recklessly attack James, even if it is a foul.

In the four games, all of them left the field due to six fouls. Such a ruthless defensive strength is really telling the guys in the Cavaliers that Stevenson dares to risk his life, and he can also contain the little emperor!

Although the little emperor won the game in Cleveland in the first and second games, but in the second game, under the entanglement of Stevenson, James only contributed 19 of 9 shots. If it was not for the penalty of the little emperor The basketball is accurate enough, maybe the little emperor's score in this sports game will become his record low.

Having such a jelly-like opponent pestering you all the time is already a headache, and Stevenson still has a big mouth. His saliva will spray the little emperor in the face every game, isn't it? Talking about how hateful it was, just the stimulus of those trash talk made the little emperor growl in annoyance.

"That's a disgusting guy. He's always talking nonsense on the court. It's disgusting! Look at his stats, that's a loser! I've already blown him up on the court!"

Maybe the little emperor had such an angry gaffe when he met Chen Feng, but he also had this kind of angry gaffe when he met Chen Feng. However, it is conceivable that this kind of provocative behavior is really irritating.

But the most terrible thing is not that Stevenson's tough defense brought trouble to the little emperor, but that the three muskets of Arenas, Jamison and Butler broke out collectively.

The Washington Wizards used to be called the Washington Bullets, so the three Arenas were the three musketeers. Their bullets shot out of their guns, and they literally killed the Cavaliers twice!

Needless to say, Arenas is a well-known ninja in the nba and a scoring madman. Maybe he is not the kind of dominant phenomenon star, but no one has ever dared to underestimate the lethality of the "general".

This time was no exception. When the little emperor was still struggling with the confrontation with Stevenson, the Wizards' most lethal weapon began to explode its desire to score.

Don't look at Arenas who has just recovered from his injury for less than a month, but this guy has accumulated energy for almost a month, and he completely exploded when he met the Cavaliers.

Three points!breakthrough!Middle distance!As long as it is an offensive method that can hit the Cavaliers' basket, it will flash in Arenas' offense. You will never know where this guy's offensive distance is!

West was almost driven crazy by Arenas, his defense was tenacious enough, but that crazy Mr. 0 dared to take a shot two or three steps away from the three-point line.

How to prevent this?Is it possible to stick your own hands to his face with 502 glue?Or tie yourself to him?Damn, facing this kind of attack, West really wanted to ask, how should I defend against him!

Arenas's cramp erupts irregularly, and no matter how much time this guy plays, anyway, as long as you are unlucky to catch up, then I'm sorry, you have to bear that kind of stormy pressure, especially in the During the Washington game, the shouts of those fans were like a shot of stimulant!

The "General" averaged about 25 points per game, which really created a great threat to the Cavaliers' defense, and beside him, there was Butler, who had the same tough style of play, and that guy was also a tough guy !

And Butler's style is purely wild, unreasonable, not talking nonsense with you, and if you seize the opportunity, you will stick inside. As long as you dare to reach out, it may be a foul.

Ilgauskas was sent off for two consecutive away games, that is, thanks to this guy, the big guy who suffers from footwork was just plotted by Butler.

As for Jamieson, this guy may not be yin to anyone, but he is too stable, and his average contribution per game has been maintained at a level of around 18+10, which is not high, but he can still kill opponents.

With these three guns in the Wizards' lineup, their threat can be said to soar. Although the Cavaliers won both games at home, these guys didn't know how crazy Washington is until they came to the away game!

That's a group of lunatics!This is the evaluation of the Cleveland media. The reporters accompanying the team watched the Cavaliers lose two games in a row in Washington, and the Mic Center Arena has become a nightmare for the Cavaliers.

Everyone from Eddie Jordan to the Wizards, the guys started roaring like crazy, and then, they started pounding the Cavaliers like hell.

The third game started in such an atmosphere. When the Cavaliers were still 3 points behind in the last 9 minutes, the result was already doomed. The Wizards' three guns beat them to pieces!

Similarly, the start of the fourth game was a wave of 9:0, and the second quarter was another 7:0. If the Cavaliers did not have the 32 points of the little emperor to support them, I am afraid they would not last until the end of the game.

Leading [-]-[-], Cleveland did not wait for a [-]-[-] sweep, but waited for the news that the team was equalized by the opponent. Perhaps those Cavaliers supporters realized at this moment that the Wizards are also so difficult. The eastern journey may not be as smooth as last season, and thorns are everywhere.

If they want to reach the finals like last season, there may be no other way but to risk their lives!

Even the Cleveland media wrote after the game, "This season, everything is destined to not go well."

This is not a pessimistic view, it's just that the media are using this method to remind the Cavaliers that if you want to go as smoothly as last season, I'm afraid it's a dead end, little emperor, you are ready to risk your life!

Looking at the Celtics' easy promotion at this time, I really don't know how the Clevelands feel, envious?envy?hatred?Or maybe both.

At least they can only helplessly look up at the Celtics killing all directions, and watch the death battle between the Cavaliers and Wizards leisurely.

The little emperor's furrowed brows and his unwilling expression may represent the entangled mood of the Cavaliers at the moment. The eastern throne may not be prepared for them...
