If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 355 Old Rival

The game between the Eastern Pacers and the Magic also ended relatively quickly.

Because Howard was injured and unable to play, the Magic directly became an underdog.

"The Magic are also a strong defensive team, but their defensive system is supported by Howard, and the rest of their defense is relatively average."

"The Pacers are also a team that prioritizes defense. Now defense is very popular in the East. Most Eastern Conference playoff teams rely on defense. So if the Magic can play offense, there is still hope for the series. It's just that their offense is not good enough. Rely on Howard for rebounding."

"The Magic's offense is too dependent on three-pointers, but their rhythm is not fast. It is not easy to use three-pointers in positional battles without a strong rebounding ability. Their current tactics have not changed. They use Davis as Howard. If they can win, there will be ghosts." gone."

"Magic's head coach Van Gundy actually has something, but his tactical concepts are too old, the coach can't keep pace with the times, and he will be severely targeted in the playoffs."

"The Magic can't keep Howard now, and they will definitely attack the head coach."

"If a small ball market can get a star, it must be cherished. The Magic's cultivation of Howard was a bit biased at the beginning. Now the team is like this, and it is difficult for Howard to go further."

"Now Howard's skills are almost finalized. Even if a team gives him more offensive opportunities, he will not be able to grasp them."

"The Pacers are actually quite strong, but the small ball market must not go the wrong way. If it messes up, it will collapse all at once. I think the management of many teams has too many things to consider. After all, business alliance."

"It is not a sports league that purely pursues performance. If you want to be truly successful, there are too many factors that are affected. We have good luck to make up such a strong team. We must cherish it. I hope that no matter whether it is a teammate or an opponent in the future, , We’re all going to be proud of being on this team.”

The game between the Celtics and the Eagles also ended in six games.

It's another round of defensive play, as is the case in the East.

This series proved once again that Joe Johnson has no ability to lead the team.

In the case of fighting for defense and fighting for the team, there is also a need for stars to stand up at critical moments.

The current Celtics, the Big Three are old and not at their peak.

Pierce is 35 years old, Garnett is 36 years old, Ray Allen is 37 years old, and Ray Allen is still injured.

In this case, Joe Johnson has not been able to perform.

It can only be said that he is the weakest among the All-Stars.

The Hawks only won one of the games Ray Allen missed.

Their offensive performance is not as good as the Celtics who rely more on defense.

Their team's offense is like a joke in the playoffs.

"The team's offense certainly has no problem in terms of tactics, but it is the problem that it cannot keep up with the intensity."

"The problem with the Eagles is that they can only abuse the opponents. They can also get a good record in the regular season, but in the playoffs they have no talent to abuse them. So we always talk about aggressiveness, both offensive and defensive. To show aggression, it's about intensity."

"The team has to adapt to confrontation and intensity. Players must have a big heart and not stretch their hips at critical moments. Some players are born with this aspect, but they can also be exercised. If this is the case, the impact of team problems on players will also be great. big."

"When our strength was not so strong, we were not afraid of confrontation and intensity. This must be adapted and cultivated with a purpose. Who are we afraid of now? If there are players who cannot adapt, then they can only play soy sauce at best. .The team and the coaching staff have to guide, and the Hawks are obviously not doing enough."

"For the Celtics, they have won championships and fought hard battles. Whether it is psychological quality or experience, they will be richer than the Eagles. The Eagles are also unlucky to meet them. They may perform better when they meet the Pacers. .”

"However, it is true that the Celtics have an aging lineup, and their offensive power is somewhat insufficient. They will not be difficult to deal with stronger opponents, at least we will not worry about such opponents."

"In fact, the remaining teams in the Eastern Conference, that is, the Heat have stars who have a relatively large impact on the game. The others can only be said to be team-oriented, including the Celtics. The current Big Three can only play as a team. Players must obey old."

"And we still have some stars in the West. Including the opponents we met in the first round, the Mavericks. In terms of the quality of the stars, the West is better, but most of them are old now, and the relatively young Paul and others are still a little good. insufficient."

After paying attention to the situation in the East, the two teams in the West that will enter the semifinals finally understand.

The Clippers and the Grizzlies played seven games and narrowly won.

The Clippers have reached the playoffs, and it feels like there are some shortcomings on both ends of the offense and defense.

The group of stars with gimmicks in the team, there are only gimmicks left.

As for the Grizzlies, there is still an old problem, that is, the attack power is really a little anxious.

In fact, Conley's performance is not inferior to Paul at all, but the two players with the most shots from the team's starter and substitute, Gay and Mayo are really a bit of a pitfall.

If the Grizzlies don't let the two play some balls, they might win.

The Clippers' two narrow victories were all thanks to the two consecutive strikes.

As long as Conley and the Black and White Bears are allowed to play a few more games, the Clippers may be gone.

"The Grizzlies can be regarded as a team-type team with some star players, but their stars are not strong enough and not stable enough. Randolph, who was stable before, was injured this season and has not fully recovered in the playoffs. Gay and Mayo, In fact, it doesn't match the overall style of the Grizzlies very well, and they are often out of tactics."

"The Grizzlies originally wanted some players who could attack with the ball to make up for the lack of team tactics, but now it seems that the personnel are not suitable."

"For the Clippers, Paul holds the ball too much, but in the end he is often unable to complete the attack. Paul is a type between a traditional guard and a new attacking guard. He can make a team better, but he It is best to partner with a star who is good at playing off the ball, Griffin is actually not very suitable for him, Griffin also has the ball."

"At critical moments, the Clippers often have to let the sixth man attack. This is a manifestation of their lack of star attack power. They can still go further by choosing the right attacker. But if they want to compete for the championship, their current star configuration Totally out of play."

"The Clippers are under-rated. Now their new lineup is still in the honeymoon period and they can't form a stronger combat effectiveness. When everyone has complaints, they can only disrupt the situation in the West."

"The ones that can pose a threat to us are teams with real combat effectiveness. In the second round, we may still have to meet our old opponents."

The old opponent is the Lakers.
