Chapter 329 Senior Team VS Youth Army

The defending champion was swept, what a big news.You must know that the strength of this defending champion has not declined much compared to last season. The core structure of the team is still there, and the regular season results are also very good.But such a strong team is still unable to avoid being eliminated. This can only explain one thing-their opponents are very strong.

So until this time, the Mavericks were officially regarded as candidates for the championship. The previous expectation for them was that they might reach the Western Conference Finals.

This Mavericks team, after two rounds of the series, has a surprising number of players.Needless to say, Nowitzki, the core of the team, has not averaged less than 20 points per game since the first round. You must know that he is already 32 years old, and he is a big white man; the 37-year-old veteran Kidd is even more It is unbelievable. At such an age, he is the main point guard. He not only has to organize the offense, but also defend the opponent's guard. It is unimaginable to have such a performance; Jia is also surprising. He is on the verge of retiring. After joining the Mavericks, he actually reproduced the sharpshooter style of the year, as if rejuvenated; the second team led by Terry, the best sixth man, completely blew up the Lakers. There is no need to describe the strength of the substitute group; the third-year player Ying Xiong, who was traded this summer, performed amazingly in the first round. Not only did he lock up his opponent, he also performed well on the offensive end.When facing Kobe in the second round, he limited the opponent's scoring average to only 2 points per game, and he averaged 3 points, 2 rebounds, 20.25 assists, 13.1 steals and 7.8 blocks per game. It is an important reason why the team can sweep the opponent.

This is the first time in Yingxiong's NBA playoffs career that he has entered the division finals. Regardless of whether the opponent is the Thunder with the three minors or the Grizzlies with the black and white bears, he is confident that he can defeat the opponent with the team and advance to the final. finals.

In the 2008 rookie class, there are many talents.The No. 4 pick Derrick Rose has won the regular season MVP, becoming the youngest regular season MVP in NBA history; the 5th pick Russell Westbrook was selected as an All-Star and is a member of the "Thunder Three"; the 08th pick Kevin Love was also selected as an All-Star, winning the league's rebounding champion and Most Improved Player award.Compared with these players, Ying Xiong's current achievements are simply nothing.But he always believed in himself and was no worse than these geniuses of the same class. He always believed that he was the best player in the [-] class.

With the Mavericks sweeping the Lakers and the game between the Thunder and Grizzlies still in full swing, the Mavericks got a few more days off than their opponents.For a team dominated by veterans, such a rest is very helpful for their physical recovery and treatment of old injuries.

Regardless of whether the opponent is the Grizzlies or the Thunder, today's Mavericks are sitting on the Diaoyutai, and they can pay attention to the games between these two teams with a slightly relaxed mood.

The game between the Thunder and the Grizzlies went until the tiebreaker.In the end, the Thunder defeated the Grizzlies by virtue of their home court advantage, broke into the Western Conference Finals, and will compete with the Mavericks for tickets to the Finals.

The Western Conference finals are about to start, but Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan will not be seen for the first time since 1998.The conference finals in the Western Conference felt a little strange, with the old but experienced Mavericks VS the young and inexperienced Thunder.

The senior team VS youth army, whether the veterans give lessons to the young people or the young people "beat the master to death with random punches", will not be known until the game starts.

In terms of experience between the two teams, the Mavericks naturally have the absolute advantage.But in terms of player vitality, the Thunder have an absolute advantage.From the comparison of the lineups of the two teams, we can somewhat see where the advantages of the two teams are.

At the center position, Tyson Chandler of the Mavericks and Kendrick Perkins of the Thunder are both defensive centers. Relatively speaking, the former is taller, has better frame protection, and moves faster; the latter is heavier, Stronger, better screen quality, better post up.The offensive means of the two are very poor, but in comparison, Tyson Chandler is slightly better.Comparing the backup centers, Haywood of the Mavericks and Collison of the Thunder are both conscientious inside blue-collars. They are about the same age and have similar statistics. They are an indispensable part of the team. big impact.

The power forward position, the core of the Mavericks Nowitzki and the Thunder's Ibaka.One of the two is good at attacking and the other is good at defending.Needless to say, Nuo Tianwang's ability, Ibaka is the best shot-blocking player in the team, is a defensive 4 with excellent movement, and has a certain mid-range ability.But in general, it is extremely unlikely that Ibaka wants to limit Nuo Tianwang.

At the small forward position, Marion of the Mavericks and Durant of the Thunder.This group of matchups is naturally dominated by the league's cutting-edge scoring champion Durant.Although Marion had a great past, he is already over 30 years old, and he is more defensive, and his offensive ability can no longer be compared with that at his peak.

At the shooting guard position, Yingxiong of the Mavericks and Sefolosha of the Thunder.Both of them are positioned as 3D players in their respective teams, but when they are different, Ying Xiong's offensive ability is far superior to that of the other.Whether it is the average points per game in the regular season or in the playoffs, Ying Xiong has scored in double digits, while the opponent has not.In all aspects, Ying Xiong seems to have the upper hand over Bisefolosha.

The position of the point guard, Kidd of the Mavericks and Westbrook of the Thunder.One is an old-school organization master, and the other is a violent point guard in the new era. Their game styles are completely different.Today's Kidd, whether he can stop the violent Westbrook will be a question. You must know that he is not the two old guys of Andre Miller in the first round and Derek Fisher in the second round.

The comparison of the bench lineup is actually Terry VS Harden.Judging from the previous games between the two, Terry is better than Harden in scoring at this stage, but Harden's organizational skills are better than Terry.However, the Mavericks' second team is organized with Barea and a sharpshooter Peja.In this way, in terms of the strength of the bench lineup, the Mavericks are stronger than their opponents on paper.

Through the lineup analysis of the two teams, the main lineup is slightly stronger than the Thunder, while the backup lineup is just the opposite.Therefore, the paper strength of the two teams is at the same level, and it depends on their performance on the spot.

But most people are still more optimistic about the Mavericks to advance, the reason is very simple: one is because of home court advantage, and the other is because of experience.In the playoffs, especially at critical moments, the importance of experience is reflected.
