Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

In the third game, the 76ers returned home.

Jimmy Butler ushered in a huge explosion, leading the team to an advantage in the first three quarters, leading the Nets by 14 points at most.

However, there was a rain of three-pointers in the final quarter for the Nets.

Russell, Mitchell, and Durant combined to score 8 three-pointers in a single quarter, directly taking away the game with a 12-0 attack wave.

The biggest problem for the 76ers is their inability to make outside shots. Except for Butler's hot touch and throwing in a few fairy balls, other players were restricted by the Nets.

Even Harris, who has always been as steady as an old dog, felt cold in the final quarter, making 4 of 0 shots. All the pressure came on Butler.

If 'The Great' Embiid didn't perform, it would be difficult for the 76ers to win with Butler alone. They led for a whole game, but were eventually overturned by the Nets.

Mitchell Robinson faced off against the physically exhausted Embiid in the final quarter. The 'Great' he defended made 6 of 1 shots and only scored two points.

Mitchell Robinson's defensive efficiency is getting better and better, and he has learned a lot from Daluo this season.

In the summer, Lopez's contract expires, and Lu Yong wants to keep him. However, considering that the Nets have just signed Durant with a maximum salary and Lopez is getting older, the chance of renewing the long-term contract is slim.

Robinson's rapid growth is very important to the Nets. After Luo Luo leaves, he is expected to become the new rim protector of the Nets.

The shooting percentage is only 35%, and Embiid, who cannot attract double teams, is an offensive black hole. Except for his role on the defensive end, his performance in the semifinals was no better than Simmons.

In addition, the 76ers outside pitcher Redick was also targeted. The defense was blown away in three consecutive games, and he won a cash machine title.

Just looking at Redick's personal data is not bad, but in reality as long as he is on the court, the Nets' offense starts from him, making it very easy to play.

Redick is not only slow in movement, but also poor in confrontation.

Mitchell's playing style of beating his master to death with random punches immediately exploded. He scored a game-high 3 points in G37 and was the first contributor to the Nets' late comeback.

‘死神’杜兰特进攻也没掉线，出场35分钟，21投11中，三分8中3，罚球7中7，砍下32分8篮板4助攻1盖帽。

The two Nets scored 30+ points, and the 76ers were unable to fight back.

At the end, 116 to 109, the Nets got the match point 3-0.

In the fourth game, the demoralized 76ers were defeated early.

Trailing 17-33 in the first quarter, the game was wasted.

Backup point guard Brunson suffered from convulsions. When Dinwiddie was in poor condition and was replaced early, he made 5 of 5 shots in a single quarter, 3 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 13 points with a % shooting rate.

In the second quarter, Lu Yong sent out five small lineups to lead the 76ers all the way.

With Michael Beasley scoring 7 points in a minute, the point difference was widened to 25 points.

Because Brunson and Beasley were in excellent condition, Lu Yong simply let them start in the second half, replacing Russell and Millsap in advance.

The other three are Mitchell, Durant, and Lopez.

It turns out that first-year rookie Brunson did not disappoint.

In the second half, he continued to maintain a hot touch and beat the opponent Ben Simmons into a sieve.

At the end, 134-97, the Nets won the away game, sweeping 4-0 to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

布伦森出战28分钟，14投10中，三分7中5，罚球4中4，高效轰出29分3篮板3助攻，得分创下季后赛生涯新高。

Lu Yong praised Brunson by name after the game, saying bluntly that he will become a star in the future and has the blood to kill the game.

Brett Brown looked half-dead during the interview. He briefly dealt with a few words in front of the camera and then left the scene in a hurry. This summer is destined to be difficult.

The other series in the Eastern Conference has not yet been decided. The Raptors currently lead the Bucks 3-1, and it is only a matter of time before they advance.

The Raptors took the lead in seizing the match point in the series without a home court advantage, causing Bucks star Antetokounmpo to be questioned by many media, thinking that he was a softie who couldn't fight a tough battle.

This evaluation is naturally not groundless, but a true reflection of Antetokounmpo's overall performance in the semifinals.

Now Antetokounmpo has just entered his peak period. In addition to his poor shooting efficiency, he can't even shoot free throws. If he wants to score, he can only hit the basket as much as possible.

The key is that the Raptors' forward defense is outstanding this season.

Gasol and the former shot-blocking king Ibaka stood next to the basket. Antetokounmpo came in looking for blocks, and his shooting percentage barely exceeded 40%, which made him look depressed.

The defensive intensity in the playoffs has escalated. When opponents shrink the penalty area unscrupulously, Antetokounmpo's troubles ensue.

Siakam cannot match Antetokounmpo in terms of tonnage, and Gasol and Ibaka in the paint cannot keep up with Antetokounmpo in terms of mobility. However, Kawhi's matchup restrictions allow Antetokounmpo to get the ball at the top of the arc. He was unable to rush forward, and there were two big rim protectors in the paint, which magnified the problem of his inability to shoot.

Antetokounmpo's offense is mostly suppressed by talent and physical fitness. His personal offensive skills are not diverse enough or perfect.

Therefore, when facing Leonard, the Bucks cannot achieve a star-studded effect.

第一场雄鹿输了18分，字母哥出战36分钟，18投仅6中，三分2中0，罚球9中4，只得16分8篮板3助攻1盖帽，还有全场最多的6次失误。

The Bucks have bigger problems on the offensive end. The team boss can't find his touch, and the role players are also confused.

If Matthews hadn't been pretty good, scoring 19 points and 3 rebounds, the Raptors would have won by at least 25 points.

In the second game, the Bucks' offense was still weak and they could not find a way to overcome the Raptors' front line. They lost another game 89 to 104.

这次字母哥16中5，三分5中1，罚球11中6，拿下17分11篮3助攻，状态略有回升。

But as an MVP-level star, this data and efficiency are definitely not up to standard.

Counting Middleton and Bledsoe, only three people on the Bucks team scored in double figures, and they were suppressed from start to finish by the Raptors.

The Raptors don't have many players scoring in double figures, only four.

However, except for Siakam, the efficiency of several others is outstanding.

莱昂纳德19投11中，三分球6中2，罚球5中5，砍下29分7篮板6助攻3抢断。

二当家洛瑞也有17分6篮板9助攻进账，三分球8投5中，命中率很高。

Defense is the key to the Raptors' victory. If they can't prevent Antetokounmpo's breakthrough and distribution, the Bucks have already lost half of this series.

After this game, fans said that there was no suspense in the series.

Even if the Bucks win a game by chance by relying on outside attacks, if the core problem is not solved, they are destined to be eliminated by the Raptors.

This is indeed the case. The Bucks exploded in outside shooting in G3. The team made 44 of 18 three-pointers and regained the game 1-2.

But before the Bucks players could be happy for too long, G4 was knocked back to its original shape by the Raptors. They were defeated 84-109 and stood on the edge of the cliff 1-3. In this game, Antetokounmpo once again performed what Liu Wa is good at. He became invisible in the key rounds and did not dare to hit the basket. He passed the ball to his teammates to solve the problem.

The Raptors' targeted defense prevented Antetokounmpo from performing at his best. The fast break scenes where Antetokounmpo was most threatening throughout the season rarely appeared in this series, and more often when Antetokounmpo got the ball at the top of the arc. If you hesitate, you will lose if you hesitate.

结果是字母哥14投4中，三分球3中0，罚球14中6，只拿下14分9篮板4助攻，被吓得出手数一场比一场少。

In addition to being unable to break through the Raptors' defense, the Bucks also have their own problems. For example, Middleton, who was omnipotent in the first round, was completely lost in the series. He was completely unable to provide firepower when bringing the bench. Bledsoe, an important outside player, also played well. Not good.

Antetokounmpo, who was locked up, had no helpers around him. Only Matthews had normal output, but compared to the Raptors' multiple blooms, he was powerless.

Losing is never one person's responsibility. In the past few years, the small ball theory led by Lu Yong has been respected by the league, and many teams have set off a small ball whirlwind.

The Bucks have been able to succeed this season because they have also taken the penalty area attack + three-point tactic to its extreme.

This style of play has its own specific effect. Once the outside touch is excellent, the opponent's defense will definitely focus on one thing and not the other, and the scene of blossoming inside and outside is beautiful. Once the touch cools down, the opponent will shrink the penalty area, and the Bucks will have Barbie Q without any suspense.

莱昂纳德本场17投9中，砍下26分6篮板6助攻2抢断1盖帽，今年表现确实屌，就算杜兰特也不见得能稳压他一头。

The Nets ended the series early, and Lu Yong simply sat in front of the TV with his assistant to watch G5 between the Raptors and Bucks.

Sometimes when you look at a problem from the perspective of a bystander, you can discover some blind spots.

Game 5 was played at the Bucks' home court, and the Raptors didn't give Antetokounmpo another chance.

The defense was tightened to guard against letters, the offense performed steadily, and they easily won 112 to 98.

前盖帽王赛尔吉-伊巴卡此役爆发，12投10中，三分球5中3，罚球2中2，砍下系列赛新高的25分8篮板1助攻4盖帽，命中率高的吓人。

The Raptors defeated the Bucks 4-1 to advance, and Tyronn Lue successfully led the team to join Lu Yong in the Eastern Conference Finals.

猛龙老大莱昂纳德系列赛场均出手20次，能砍下28分9篮板4助攻2抢断1盖帽，数据爆炸。

Adu met a real opponent this time, and his peak battle at the small forward position in the Eastern Conference Finals was enough to go down in history.

In the Western Conference competition, the Warriors defeated the Rockets 4-2 and advanced to the conference finals.

Iguodala broke out in this series, averaging 18 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal per game, with a shooting percentage of 59.3%. He teamed up with Thompson to suppress Harden and made a great contribution.

Curry's performance in G6 was also amazing. He hit three three-pointers in the final quarter and scored 32 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists to lead the team to seal the victory.

Harden's performance in the series was not bad, but it was a pity that his teammates were not strong enough.

Only three of the Rockets, Harden, Paul, and Eric Gordon, scored in double figures. It was almost impossible to beat the Warriors with all the players.

In another matchup, the Trail Blazers defeated the Nuggets 4-3.

The Nuggets have a clear advantage inside. Jokic averaged 27 points, 14 rebounds and 7 assists in the series, and Zach Collins couldn't find him.

However, the Nuggets were outgunned by Portland on the outside. Jokic scored 29 points and 13 rebounds in the tiebreaker. McCollum scored 37 points and acted as a solo savior, saving 17 of 3 shots from the field. Lillard scored 13 points.

Some people always say that Lillard is a player with a big heart and is trustworthy at critical moments.

This is true, but the premise is that his teammates can help him persist until the critical moment. If McCollum hadn't broken out in this game, the Blazers would have gone home to fish.

Lillard stretched his hips a lot in the playoffs and his performance was not stable. He only had some impressive highlight shots, which made people ignore his poor performance.

If you really want to talk about it, the performance of the Trail Blazers' second leader McCollum is much more stable than him.

The Trail Blazers have been able to climb step by step in the past two years, which is inseparable from McCollum's silent efforts behind the scenes. Without the support of his good brothers, Lillard's single-core leadership is the level of competing for the top pick.

In addition, although the Trail Blazers have reached the Western Conference Finals, there are only a handful of people who are optimistic about their advancement.

It may take some effort for the Warriors to beat the Rockets, but it is still easy to beat the Trail Blazers. Even if they sweep the Western Conference Finals 4-0, fans will not be surprised.

The Eastern Conference finals between the Raptors and Nets are far more popular than the Western Conference.

Experts predict the outcome and are generally optimistic about the Nets winning. Fans vote, and the majority of people are optimistic about the Nets advancing.

This is a problem left over from history. No wonder fans look down on the Raptors, who are gaining momentum.

Raptors head coach Tyronn Lue is also considered the best among Lu Yong's losers. When he coached the Cavaliers, he was beaten by the Knicks led by Lu Yong for many years.

As of now, they have not won against Lu Yong in the playoffs.

The historical record of the "Double Lu War" is very telling. No one is optimistic that Tyronn Lue will perform miracles this year. It sounds more like a fairy tale.

In addition, the Raptors' biggest advantage in the playoffs is their strong forward line, but coincidentally, the Nets' forward line is also strong.

When two forward teams meet head-on, the head coach becomes the key figure influencing the trend of the game.

Tyronn Lue is almost going into the sewer this time. He has been defeated repeatedly and defeated again and again. It’s strange that fans can be optimistic about the Raptors.

Lu Yong was interviewed before the start of the series and said in a relaxed mood: "No team can prevent the Nets from reaching the finals. The Raptors are not weak, but I think the Nets are stronger, and everyone can't wait to prove themselves. "

The reporter asked: "In what aspects do you think the Raptors are at a disadvantage compared to the Nets?"

"It's hard to say. In my opinion, the Raptors have flaws everywhere and can't compare with the Nets." Lu Yong said with confidence.

How could we not become arrogant at this time?

If Lu Yong, the head coach, does not have confidence, how can the players establish a psychological advantage?

Lu Yong, who has led his team to championships all year round, knows very well the importance of team morale. Regardless of whether he wins or not, it is right to brag about his awesomeness first.

As long as the Raptors players have a little bit of panic, the purpose of psychological warfare will be achieved.

Everyone in the Raptors was relatively low-key in interviews. Even Tyronn Lue didn't dare to say harsh words that he would definitely lead the team to win.

In the past few years, he has almost collapsed after being beaten by Lu Yong, and he is seriously lacking in confidence when facing the Nets.

If he can't get past Lu Yong in this year's playoffs, Tyronn Lue plans to go to the West.

There is no shame in running away. What is shameful is having nightmares every year in the playoffs and being ridiculed crazily by fans.

If he can't afford to offend him, why can't he afford to hide?

As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes. Tyronn Lue has understood the "Art of War". The thirty-six strategies are to move forward. If you can't beat him, run away.

What is face?

That’s not just a shoe mat! (End of chapter)
