Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 340 260 [Looking forward to the finals in advance? 】

The 20-point difference is indeed like a gap for the Portland Trail Blazers.

So, at halftime, in many people's minds, the game was effectively over.

What's more, it directly stated that the series was over.

Because through the halftime game, everyone found that the Portland Trail Blazers and the Dallas Mavericks were not at the same level at all.

For this reason, many people have also summed up a rule.

That is, if you want to have an equal share with the Dallas Mavericks in the true sense, then this team needs a balance of offense and defense, a depth of bench, and a head coach.

After reaching this conclusion, everyone unanimously aimed at the Toronto Raptors, who are in the semifinals in the East.

The Toronto Raptors, led by Kawhi Leonard, seem to be the team that can truly compete with the Dallas Mavericks.

"Maybe it's too early to talk about this topic, but it must be admitted that this is the fact, Dallas Mavericks vs Toronto Raptors, this is a real rivalry"

"To be honest, in addition to enjoying the bayonet's offensive performance, this Western Conference Finals has made me more and more boring. To put it bluntly, the final fate of the Portland Trail Blazers is likely to be the same as that of the Golden State Warriors, that is, being swept , Damian Lillard told us through the halftime game that he is an excellent and tough player, but he is definitely not the kind of superstar. He can't really save the team. Personal ability to carry a team forward, like Kobe Bryant, like LeBron James in previous seasons"

Shaquille O'Neal is disappointed in Damian Lillard.

"I'm looking forward to the bayonet and Kawhi Leonard, the San Antonio Spurs twin stars of last season, performing on the stage of the finals after a year, but this time they are opponents"

"Yes, if nothing else, in the East, the Toronto Raptors will eventually qualify for the Finals. I don't deny that Antetokounmpo is an excellent guy, but in my opinion, he is only better than Damian Lila. Deqiang is a little bit, and a team leader has no long-range shooting ability, which is very fatal." Kenny Smith directly pointed out the biggest shortcoming of the Greeks.

Before the bayonet came out, Antetokounmpo was the most popular contender for the new face of the league. He also won the regular season most valuable player in the regular season last season, thus proving himself.

However, since Antetokounmpo began to show his edge, his shooting, especially his long-range shooting ability, has always been criticized by people.

Until this season, his short board still exists. In this case, in fact, he is far away from the No.1 position in the league.

The importance of three-pointers in today's small ball era is self-evident. Without three-pointers, Antetokounmpo's personal threat has dropped by at least one-third.

On the superstar stage of the playoffs, this shortcoming will be further magnified.

This is why they narrowly defeated the Boston Celtics and advanced to the Eastern Conference finals after seven fierce battles in the semifinals.

Look at the No. 1 league in the history of the NBA, which has obvious shortcomings in personal scoring ability.

"Like the bayonet, Kawhi Leonard is also both offensive and defensive. Relatively speaking, the bayonet's offense is sharper, and Kawhi Leonard's defense is more solid, but I have to say that the difference between the two Rivalry is a true superstar duel."

"Other than that, both teams are both offensive and defensive, and both have great benches, so if the Dallas Mavericks-Toronto Finals matchup does happen, it's going to be a few seasons away The most exciting final ever”

Obviously, in recent seasons, including the finals of last season, there is a certain gap in hard power between the two sides in the finals.

Whether it's the Golden State Warriors vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers, or the San Antonio Spurs vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers, the difference in strength is the same.

Frankly speaking, from the perspective of the fans, especially the general fans, they are more concerned about how exciting the finals will be.

In this case, when the Dallas Mavericks meet the Toronto Raptors?
Maybe not as fierce as the Hukai battle, but it is definitely worth looking forward to.

"Then who do you two think will be the final winner?" Kenny Smith smiled secretly. He likes to ask such questions.

Because this kind of problem can always cause disputes, and only when there are disputes can the program be effective.

"There is no doubt that I will stand on the side of the Dallas Mavericks." Charles Barkley didn't care, and expressed his point straightforwardly.

"Of course, it's not just because of the bayonet. Obviously, both teams are balanced offensively and defensively. However, in the Dallas Mavericks, there are actually two top scorers. Compared with the Toronto Raptors, there are only Kawhi Leonard. As a top scorer, the Dallas Mavericks can better pull the Toronto Raptors' defense."

In Charles Barkley's view, when the Bayonet and Carmelo Anthony appear on the court at the same time, the Toronto Raptors will inevitably face a choice of defensive focus.

Although they do not lack players with excellent defensive capabilities, whether it is Bayonet or Cameron Anthony, as long as they enter the rhythm and want to stop or limit them, it is not something a player can do.

"This is actually the biggest support that Cameron Anthony has brought to the Dallas Mavericks after returning to the top," Charles Barkley said with confidence.

The Dallas Mavericks can send two players to limit Kawhi Leonard, so the Toronto Raptors can't send four players to limit the Bayonet and Cameron Anthony, right?

This is why he is more optimistic about the Dallas Mavericks.

"I'm not saying that I'm more optimistic about the Toronto Raptors, but the Toronto Raptors have real advantages in the interior. The interior twin towers of Marc Gasol and Ibaka definitely have a good level."

Shaquille O'Neal also spoke.

"However, Marc Gasol is also a veteran. Although he has not yet reached the point of retirement, in fact, since he joined the Toronto Raptors in the middle of the season, his integration into the team has not been very good. I don't think the Toronto Raptors The dragon's inside twin towers can definitely take advantage of the Dallas Mavericks' inside." Charles Barkley does not agree with Shaquille O'Neal's analysis.

"DeAndre Jordan and Ibaka, obviously, his defense and rebounding ability is better"

.........

The two people quarreled as expected, and the corner of Kenny Smith's mouth cracked.
