Chapter 554

After the fourth game between the Pelicans and the Warriors also ended, a very miraculous situation occurred in this year's playoffs. Except for the Lakers, which had already swept their opponents and advanced directly, the other three groups were actually ahead of the previous rounds. After the four games passed, all of them were tied 2:2. In fact, in the recent playoffs, one of the big rounds of the series is the battle of Tianwangshan, which is enough to attract attention, but I did not expect Although the first round of this season's playoffs was very boring, but in the second round, the development of this plot brought a lot of ratings and attention to the league.

First of all, the Tianwangshan battle between the Raptors and the Celtics will be the first to start. The two teams will have this battle at the TD North Shore Garden Arena in Boston. Although it is the home game of the Celtics, don’t forget Except for these two wonderful teams, the teams that played at home in the first four games actually lost.So even if this is the home court of the Celtics, everyone still can't understand which of the two teams has the upper hand, and few ball commentators dare to easily stand by these two teams. Both teams are inconsistent and have a good chance of winning.

But for the Lakers, they don't care about the final results of these two teams. After all, in terms of overall strength, these two teams are likely to be soy sauce in the conference finals, because In terms of overall strength, no matter which of these two teams they are, there should be no chance of beating either the Cavaliers or the current Pacers.

In the end, the Celtics still had to win. In this game, their core Thomas Jr. reappeared in the game with an injury. Although his hip was affected by the injury, he played in this game without mercy Yes, 15 shots made 7 goals. Although the shooting percentage was not high, 7 of the 5 goals were three-pointers. In addition, all 6 free throws were hit. This game only played 29 minutes Thomas Jr. is still relatively efficient with 23 points and 6 assists, which is better than the data of Lowry, who has played 37 minutes among the trash brothers of the Raptors who have been sleepwalking.

The Celtics' battle at Tianwangshan ended with a victory, but the Cavaliers fell into a hard fight at their home court. In the entire series, the only players in the Cavaliers who are still fighting online are Lao Zhan and Irving The two, whether it's Love or George Hill, whether it's Tristan Thompson or Korver on the bench, basically didn't perform very well. George Hill only played in one game anyway. It's just very bad, and Korver didn't play very well in the two games he lost, and Love and Thompson only played well in one game.

In this battle of Tianwangshan, these important role players of the Cavaliers once again performed abnormally. After the first three quarters of the game, Lao Zhan scored 29 points, Irving also scored 27 points, and the Cavaliers After the first three quarters, they only scored 72 points in total, which means that the rest of the players only scored 16 points in total. This also includes the 8 points scored by the bench bandit Jefferson alone. In fact, the Lakers also contacted Jefferson in the summer, but at that time Jefferson and the Cavaliers were enjoying their first championship trophy, so they never considered leaving Cleveland. It could only end in failure. Fortunately, it didn't take long for the Lakers to find Solomon Hill at the small forward position. The small forward who came to the door played very well this season. of.

The Cavaliers are under the situation where the substitutes are performing poorly. The only ones to watch are Lao Zhan and Owen Hongze. Although Love is said to be the insider of the Big Three, he is actually beside Lao Zhan. Playing ball, there is not much space for the inside to play. In addition, his three-point shooting percentage today is very bad, so the decline in data is also natural.And TT was originally a blue-collar pie-eating player who played fairly well, but suddenly he didn't know why he was crazy, and he went to provoke Kohler Kardashian, the best defensive player. Zhan also gradually reduced the passes to him because he was dissatisfied with his attitude, so his data naturally plummeted.

The role players around them are not performing well, and although Lao Zhan and Irving can help the team close the point difference, they have no spare power to end the game directly. After all, two fists are hard to beat four hands, especially the Pacers. The combat effectiveness of the pickled peppers is not much worse than that of Lao Zhan. Ibaka almost abused the inside of the Cavaliers on both offensive and defensive ends. When he was in the Thunder, he failed to defeat the Heat where Lao Zhan was. But this time, it seems that he has a good chance to avenge his past.

In this kind of All-Star duel, the Cavaliers actually have the upper hand. After all, Irving and Lao Zhan are both among the best players in their own positions in the East, but the difficulty lies in the competition of other players. Since the regular season, the Pacers have always been a team with a decent starting lineup and one of the best substitute players in the league. After the trade, they resolved the team's internal conflicts. They are able to achieve this kind of record because of their outstanding performance and the united efforts of the main players. In the playoffs, this kind of team with combat effectiveness can always achieve unexpected results, especially three of their starting players are Those who have rich experience in the playoffs, Ibaka and Pickle played in the finals. Although Rose did not make it to the finals, he also played in the Eastern Conference finals. Jordan Hill also played with the Pacers last year. Having played in the Eastern Conference Finals once, only Hood has basically no experience in the playoffs. Coupled with Louis Williams and his like on the bench, the Pacers' combat effectiveness is indeed very good.

When the game reached the fourth quarter, the characteristic of the Pacers' multi-point blooming was reflected. At the critical moment, the offensive choices of the Cavaliers and the Pacers were completely two extremes. The more critical the Cavaliers were, The more they dare not hand over the ball to role players at critical moments, while the Pacers, although pickled peppers handle the ball more at critical moments, their tactics are flexible, and almost all players on the field can receive the ball. The tactical arrangement of the ball offense makes the two teams not at the same level in terms of defensive difficulty. The Pacers basically focused on Irving and Lao Zhan in the fourth quarter, while the Cavaliers But they still insisted on these two points, which made them feel like a role player and didn't shoot. As a result, they were forced to catch and shoot at such a critical moment. The efficiency can be imagined.

In the end, the Cavaliers unexpectedly lost the key Tianwangshan battle at their home court, which made many fans of Lao Zhan very worried. After that, the next game for the Cavaliers will become very difficult. If they cannot win the next game and drag the game into a tie-break, then they can only go home. Heroes, please start again up.

In fact, what is really worth arguing about in this game is the Cavaliers' tactics. To be honest, everyone in the championship last year was bragging that Tyronn Lue was the wise man who could assist King Zhan, but this season's various From the performance point of view, Tyronn Lue's on-the-spot command ability is really a big problem, so we can often see Director Lu standing on the sidelines like a mentally retarded expression during the regular season, and we often see the Cavaliers. After returning from the timeout after chasing consecutive points, the tactics still haven’t changed much. People still use the same routine to continue to score points on your head. This makes the Cavaliers lose at least five more games in the regular season this season. But everyone just put all the pressure on James.

The Cavaliers were forced to a dead end, and the Pelicans' Big Four brothers were connected with him. All the firepower is concentrated on the Big Four, but they are slightly better than the Cavaliers, because all of their four cores have the ability to attack with the ball, and the combat effectiveness of four people playing together at critical moments is still very terrifying.But the bad thing is that the Warriors' shooting ability is really too much for the Pelicans. The Warriors hit a total of 23 three-pointers in the game. This number has broken the record for the playoffs. Among them, Curry Klay Thompson's 8 of 4 shots and Durant's 9 of 5 shots all hurt the Pelicans very much. This kind of three-point shooting simply killed the game, let alone today Green also scored three three-pointers, and Iguodala and West also scored two three-pointers each.

Of course, in addition to the fact that the opponent's three-pointer is indeed like a god's help, some problems on the Pelicans' own side are also the reason why they lost the game today. Although Kim Terry is a relatively stable head coach, he is also the first time When there are four All-Star players in the team to let him command, so his tactics are very cautious, and he dare not have any problems in the distribution of the ball, which will cause internal discord in the team. Of course, there is nothing wrong with his approach, but when facing the Warriors' dead five, his tactic seemed a bit out of step with the rhythm. The speed of the two big insiders still affected the team's rotation after all. , if the Warriors' shooting percentage is not high, they can barely play like this, but the opponent's shooting percentage has already skyrocketed. This very crucial battle of Tianwang Mountain.

After the results of the several Tianwangshan battles came out, the generals of the Lakers team had already started gearing up to prepare for the Western Conference finals, but before that, Ye Xuan was still planning to take his brothers to the away game to give him the next step. The opponents created some pressure, so [-] people from the Lakers team, head coach Walton Jr., Corvo and other assistant coaches appeared on the streets of New Orleans. They first arrived before the Warriors arrived in New Orleans. I just visited Anthony and the others. Of course, it was mainly because Ye Xuan and the others had a better relationship with the people in New Orleans. After cheering them on, Ye Xuan also asked them to get some tickets. After all, players The ticket location of the family members is definitely better than the location that can be bought by oneself quietly.

The game between the Pelicans and the Warriors started in the blink of an eye, and the footage on the scene was also very witty. Before the game started, they had already spotted the Lakers team. It was too conspicuous, especially when Nick Young and Clarkson wore their own jerseys very arrogantly.Moreover, this seat for a group of people is obviously very close to the Pelicans bench. You must know that this position is usually reserved for players' family members and the like, and soon the commentators on the scene also heard News - Ye Xuan posted a picture of the scene on his social platform, with the text "Come on for my brother." Then Aite hit Anthony, and the audience at the scene didn't care about them after knowing the news It is possible that he will be his opponent in the next round, and Ye Xuan and others cheered.

And even those talented audiences made various slogans on the spot. For example, one of the slogans was written to Durant, "You will never surpass James, just like you cannot surpass Ye Xuan." Speaking of Curry's unanimous MVP, "Compared to 73 wins and runner-up, Ye Xuan is more qualified to be unanimously elected MVP." Obviously everyone knows that this season's regular season MVP will almost only be between Ye Xuan and Westbrook. Time happened, one led the team to the best record in history, and the other played legendary data-an average of triple-doubles per game.In contrast, Curry's data has declined this season due to the addition of Durant. This season, he is not even eligible to be selected as an MVP candidate, let alone something like an unanimous MVP.

But I have to say that these fans in New Orleans are also playing the wrong way. The most annoying thing for Curry now is that others tell him what is wrong with Ye Xuan, and how is Ye Xuan better than you. He didn't feel anything, but he didn't expect that in the season when he rose, Ye Xuan also rose strongly, and in the confrontation between the two, he was always the one who was at a disadvantage, although everyone said that the two of them Their styles are very similar, they are both three-point maniacs, they both like to shoot super long-range three-pointers, and they both like to pretend to be aggressive, but Curry is also very bitter. After all, Ye Xuan is not a point guard at all. Body.
