NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 381 is shocking!

And just as the Raptors and Hornets won the tiebreaker, other series were already in full swing.

For example, when the Spurs played against the Thunder, sparks flew everywhere.

In the first game, the Thunder was brutally slaughtered by the Spurs 92:124. What a tragedy!

Lost by a full 32 points.

The two incomparable Thunder young men worked hard. Westbrook made 19 of 5 shots and scored 14 points and 9 assists.

Durant wasn't much better, scoring 15 points on 5-for-16, but he had 6 assists and 8 rebounds, which was a bit better.

只有怀特塞德发挥不错，14中8拿到了19分9篮板2盖帽的数据。

Look at the Spurs.

In his first playoff appearance after the transfer of Aldridge, he made 23 of 18 shots and scored 38 points. He really single-handedly defeated the Thunder and became unstoppable.

No one can stop Aldridge, neither Adams nor Whiteside can resist Aldridge's magical mid-range.

All the media are marveling that Aldridge is seriously underestimated.

The Spurs' probability of winning the championship also increased rapidly at this time.

The other player in the double-German combination, Leonard, shot 13 of 10 and also had 255 rebounds and 5 assists.

As another MVP candidate, he also produced incredible offensive firepower.

Even Danny Green, known as the "Iron Forest", scored 5 three-pointers in this campaign and scored a total of 18 points.

As for gdp, it has not been used much.

This performance of the Spurs undoubtedly indicates that they are about to take off.

All Spurs fans are going crazy, feeling that they will return to the top after a year.

of course.

This is not the point.

The point is that their reconstruction has been successful and seamless. The double-German combination can make them competitive in the next five years. They have successfully taken over the GDP scepter and will continue to dominate the league.

The result was the second battle.

The Spurs' boiling blood instantly cooled down a bit.

Both Thunder players went crazy and led the team to steal a game in San Antonio and tied the score to 98:97 at 1:1.

威斯布鲁克25投11中，砍下29分的同时，也拿到了10助攻7篮板。

杜兰特19中11，拿到了28分7篮板4助攻，同样展现出顶级水准。

Under the performance of double MVP-level players, Whiteside and Adams both scored 12 points to help the team win.

As for the Spurs.

Aldridge's madness continued. He made 21 of 15 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 10 of 10 free throws. He violently scored 41 points and 8 rebounds, which was simply eye-catching.

38 points in the last game, 40+ points in this game, everyone was shocked, Aldridge could be so strong...

Don't underestimate 40+, this is a superstar's performance.

Generally speaking, in a high-intensity game like the playoffs, it is not easy to score 40+ points, and it is definitely not something that just any player can get.

After all, it is still the initial stage of the small ball era, and the scoring explosion has not yet completely arrived.

40+ points in the playoffs is already the standard for measuring superstars.

If you can achieve 30+ points in a row, you will be called awesome.

So Aldridge's performance was simply astonishing. Everyone lamented that the Spurs had really made a lot of money.

but.

Leonard, one of the two players, was weak in this game. He made 18 of 7, 3 of 0 three-pointers, and 2 of 0 free throws. He only scored 14 points and 7 rebounds, which was indeed unsatisfactory.

And the defense against Durant was not as successful as the previous game.

Tielin finally returned to his true self, making 11 of 3 shots and scoring 9 points. Although his shooting percentage was anxious, he still made 3 three-pointers, which opened up a good space for the team.

As for GDP?

Maybe he is really old.

Parker scored 9 points and 3 assists on 7-of-6 shooting.

Duncan made 8 of 1 and only scored 2 points and 9 rebounds.

Ginobili performed well, scoring 8 points on 5-of-11 shooting.

But this performance obviously does not meet the public's expectations of them.

In the last game, if you want to say that they are leading by a big score and they don't need to sweat, that's understandable.

This game is still so frustrating, it’s really a question of ability.

Severely degraded.

If Parker doesn't have speed, is it still a French sports car?

Without Duncan's footsteps, can the defense still be such a deterrent?

I have to admit that they are really old.

In addition to the Spurs and Thunder, the Warriors and Trail Blazers also fought.

In the first game, the Warriors defeated the Trail Blazers 118:106 without any blood.

While Curry was still recovering from his injury, Thompson showed off his might, scoring 28 points on 14-of-37 shots, leading the team to a good start in the second round.

Lillard and CJ McCollum are both sluggish and have the tendency to become a new generation of garbage brothers.

The former made 26 of 8, with a miserable 30.5% shooting percentage. Fortunately, Lillard was very good at hitting the ball and hit 10 free throws, barely raising the score to 30 points.

后者17中5，三分4投0中，只得到12分。

It can be seen that the intensity of the playoffs is starting to increase.

Both sides struggled to score.

Another group of Cavaliers and Heat, this is the focus of the second round, very eye-catching.

In the end, after four quarters of fighting, the Heat relied on their top defense to narrowly defeat the Cavaliers 93:90 at home.

詹姆斯的数据依旧漂亮，20中10拿到了23分9助攻7篮板，另外还有5抢断1盖帽，几乎找不到什么缺点。

If I have to say one thing, it would be as many as 4 mistakes.

However, James has made up for it with 5 steals, 3 of which were converted into fast break points.

That's right.

Of the ten goals James hit, three were scored by his own steals and fast break counterattacks, and the other two were scored by side-by-side fast breaks with Irving.

You want to ask how many goals were scored in the position battle?

No more, no less, 5.

Ok……

That's like 15 out of 5.

Among them, he also scored two three-pointers, one was a probing ball, and the other was an open space to receive Irving's breakthrough ball.

So after calculating this, James only scored 3 goals in personal position battles.

This does not mean that James played badly.

On the contrary, this shows that the Heat defend well!

Although James played vigorously and vigorously, in the positional battle, James did not show his dominance.

Defend James on this point.

I'm afraid only the Miami Heat do it best.

Irving also performed well, scoring 18 points and 8 assists on 21-of-8 shooting, and his ability to attack tough situations has gradually emerged.

Most of the time, when the Cavaliers are in trouble, it's Irving who steps up and opens things up for the team.

In this case, the hit rate is generally nothing to criticize.

The last of the Big Three, Kevin Love.

17 of 4, 23.5% overall shooting rate.

9 of 2 three-pointers, 22.2% shooting rate.

At the end of the game, he only scored 12 points and 11 rebounds.

It’s really hard to describe in words!

The iron pot of losing will definitely be placed on Love's head.

It really sucks after all.

Even if you just catch the ball and shoot, you can't just have a shooting percentage of more than 20 points!

You are one of the giants!

It's an all-star level!

This kind of performance is simply unacceptable.

of course.

The Heat also have some unique skills.

Anthony shot 19 of 6 and only scored 14 points.

It was also very tragic and unbearable to look at.

The fans in the American Airlines Center probably felt their hearts tightening as they watched Anthony banging the iron.

Wade made 20 of 9 shots and scored 20 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds. His performance was still good, and he still had the demeanor of a first-class star.

Gasol shot 14 of 6 and scored 15 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. He completely evolved into a power forward, but he finally contributed a lot to the team.

Among the Heat, Porgitins has to be mentioned. He made a contribution in this game. He scored 13 points on 7 of 19 goals and became a major contributor to the team's victory.

It can be seen that the strength of both sides in this series is still very close.

Many mainstream media generally believe that it may have to reach a tiebreaker.

The Knicks-Raptors series officially began under this situation.

Before the game.

Many media have already predicted that the Knicks will eliminate the Raptors 4:1.

More radicals believe that the Knicks will once again start a sweep.

Because the Raptors' performance in the first round was so poor.

Especially the garbage brothers Lowry and DeRozan, it was a disaster.

No one thought they could withstand the Knicks' firepower.

In this game, the bookmaker's handicap is that the Knicks will handicap 11 points.

In other words, the Knicks must win this game by at least double digits.

Even clocking in for three quarters.

The only time the Raptors have a chance to win is probably when they return home, so that they can retain some dignity.

result.

When the game started, everyone was stunned.

Lowry teamed up with DeRozan to lead the other Raptors players to score consecutively. A wave of 14:5 overwhelmed the Knicks.

Director Lu quickly called a timeout, wanting to slow down.

But the effect is not great.

Both Biyombo and Carroll performed well, and Lowry was still showing off his strength, another 10:3.

This time.

The Knicks generals' heads are buzzing.

24:8 Ah!

This is the score with 5 minutes left in the first quarter.

The Raptors' offensive firepower is simply brutal.

The Knicks, a well-known offensive team, were like shit, scoring only 8 points.

The game lasted 7 minutes and only scored 8 points, which was simply ugly.

Who would have thought that this was the Knicks' score? I can't even think of it.

Of these 8 points, 4 points were scored by Xue Liancheng, the other 2 points were assisted by him, and the remaining 2 points were obtained by Claude who came in for him.

In other words, the Knicks' entire offense has wilted.

Lopez faced Biyombo, but he didn't get any advantage and was defended continuously.

Oladipo fell into the dilemma of blind singles, hitting 4 of 0 and directly swallowing zero goals.

Even Xue Liancheng was 4 of 1, relying on free throws to score 4 points.

Everyone's condition seems not to be very good.

What's even more fatal is that they can't stand up and score effectively.

After the commercial break.

Both sides reappear.

As a last resort, Xue Liancheng held the ball and signaled to pull away. He had to do it himself.

And breakthrough is his most sure way to score points.

result.

Tu Ye rushed in, but when he took the shot, he was interfered with by Lowry's knee.

The ball slipped around the edge of the basket and came out again.

All the fans at the scene were speechless.

The commentator also looked helpless at this time, "What happened? Who can tell me?"

The commentator also looked disappointed and said, "The Knicks' current offensive options, offensive rhythm, and even offensive tactics have huge problems."

Host: "I never thought that the Knicks would score 10+ points in a single quarter. Unexpectedly, it seemed like it was really going to happen."

In the first round of the series, the ferocity of the Knicks' offense was visible to the naked eye.

Retreating to the regular season, the Knicks are also the second-best offensive team in the league. They are truly invincible.

People can accept the Knicks losing, but they can't accept a team that averages 110+ points per game and only scores a dozen points in a single quarter.

It's really disappointing.

Fortunately.

Off-site offense and defense, DeRozan is no longer in the mid-range.

Xue Liancheng felt that he could not wait any longer. He had to activate the touch of his teammates.

And he had to ignite it first.

Rush to the frontcourt.

Make a tentative lunge with a forward thrust.

Then pull back and pull out directly.

Three-point shot.

Everyone was shocked.

So far in this game, Xue Liancheng has made 5 of 1 and 2 of 2 free throws before scoring 4 points. His hand feeling is not very good to begin with.

result.

You rush over, retreat directly to the three-point line and pull out two steps away. Isn't that outrageous?

This is the voice of all the fans at the scene.

The commentator of this game did not shy away from saying, "Xue Liancheng is too impatient. I think as the star player at this time, you should stabilize and choose better shooting opportunities instead of betting on three points so recklessly... "

But the words have not yet fallen.

Swish!

The commentator was immediately choked, and the expression on his face became very exciting.

But the commentator exclaimed, "Xue Liancheng, here we come... Oh my God! It's finally opened."

Host: "This three-pointer is so crucial. It wiped away all the previous decline. Judging from the looks of the Knicks generals, they seem to have been fired up."

that's the truth.

Von Lay and Oladipo shook their fists in celebration.

It’s not easy!

And Xue Liancheng's three-pointer injected more than just energy and chasing points, but more confidence.

11: 24.

Although the score difference is still more than ten points, the score is at least double digits.

then.

DeRozan missed again.

Xue Liancheng started to suffer from a double attack while holding the ball.

but.

They had anticipated this and let Oladipo rush forward with the ball at the end of the season to prevent this from happening.

And soon.

Xue Liancheng took advantage of the cover and ran out of position.

Lopez quickly gave the ball.

Xue Liancheng took off the ball without hesitation after receiving the ball.

Three points.

middle!

But this time, he did not activate the 20% hit rate skill, but instead had a % hit rate bonus.

this moment.

He was delighted.

He clearly felt that the difference between the 15% and 20% hit rate bonuses was really huge.

He feels that when shooting in open shots, his accuracy has definitely improved to a higher level, which will greatly improve his overall three-pointer.

The commentator exclaimed again and again: "Did Xue Liancheng break out in advance? He has already hit twice in a row. This is so critical."

Host: "Xue Liancheng is indeed a superstar. He really has the temperament to turn the tide. This is something that many stars don't have."

Commentator: "I hope Xue Liancheng can lead their outbreak. If we rely on Xue Liancheng alone, we won't be able to survive in the long run."

The fans finally reacted, standing up and shouting MVP wildly.

14:24

This time, I finally got within the controllable range.

However, the Raptors are really not a vegetarian. Their offensive firepower continues and they play very smoothly.

On the other hand, the Knicks are still struggling on the offensive end, especially in terms of offensive rhythm, which is too impatient.

At this time, the image of Oladipo and others laughing at Lowry and DeRozan appeared in Xue Liancheng's mind, and his face was already very ugly.

Now, who is the trash?

At that time, he felt that it was not good for his teammates to underestimate the enemy.

After all, there are no underdogs in the NBA. This is not just talk, not to mention the Raptors are a playoff team.

Although the tie-break process was a bit ugly, we finally advanced, right?

Can those who can enter the second round have a good start?

The answer is obvious.

But they didn't take it seriously, thinking they could easily control the Raptors.

it's good now.

Who can control whom?

He felt that the Raptors were pushed twice at the beginning of the game because his teammates underestimated the enemy.

As a result, they fell behind and became anxious.

But in the game, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to make mistakes, and the easier it is to affect your feel.

soon.

The first quarter passed by like this.

The Knicks trailed by a full 20 points with 34:14.

This is not the Knicks' normal state.

But it did happen.

In the second quarter, the Knicks generals finally adjusted, but it was too late, and the Raptors' firepower started.

Scored 30 points again in a single quarter, and already had 64 points at halftime.

The Knicks also scored 28 points in the second quarter and scored a total of 48 points in the half.

In other words, they were already 16 points behind at halftime.

In the locker room.

Tyronn Lue flew into a rage and burst into rage.

But it's no use.

Their status today is really limited. Although they work hard, sometimes hard work is useless and they can't put the ball into the basket.

Section 3.

The Raptors had a disjointed rhythm and only scored 25 points in a single quarter.

But the Knicks are not much better!

Only scored 24 points in a single quarter.

After three quarters, the Knicks were already 17 points behind.

As soon as the fourth quarter started, Lowry exploded again.

Xue Liancheng had no choice but to activate the 100% hit skill in advance, and finally managed to stabilize the situation.

But in the bloody battle, the Knicks still failed to make waves. The most important thing was that they could not set off an offensive frenzy.

This means that the outcome of the game is already foreseeable.

The results were no surprise.

The Knicks lost the first game of the second round 99:116 at Madison Square Garden.

When the results of the competition came out, it was really shocking!

Everyone couldn't believe that the seeded players who reached the second round with a sweep actually lost to the Raptors, who had to rely on tiebreakers to break out of the siege.

The most important thing is that the Raptors dual-core team is known as the garbage brothers, and they played so poorly.

As for the Knicks' Big Three, Xue Liancheng is a superstar, Oladipo is also a first-class star, and Lopez is also a top insider. All three of them look reliable.

In terms of overall lineup depth, the Knicks are unmatched by the Raptors.

There is also a clear gap between the two sides in terms of efficiency on both offense and defense.

In one sentence, the strength of the two teams is not at the same level.

No one thought the Raptors had a chance of winning.

result.

The Raptors surprised everyone and actually won the game by a big score at the home court of the Eastern Conference leader.

It's really incredible.

At the end of the game, there were even fans standing there in disbelief, unwilling to leave for a long time.
