The perfect life of basketball

Chapter 457 Chapter 456 Strategizing, the battle will start!
It's okay not to pay attention to the East, but the West must be paid attention to, because although the biggest challenger of the Glory team is the Warriors, other teams are not without opportunities.

After all, no matter how small the possibility is, it is possible.

Compared with the east, the first round of the match in the west is more intense and much more interesting. After all, the western Shura field is not just for fun.

With 45 wins and 27 losses, the Thunder, which was squeezed out of the playoffs at the last minute, can rank fifth in the Eastern Conference. . .

It is said that the Thunder are also unlucky. After Durant was injured at the beginning of the season, he was injured again in the middle of the season. After the bone graft surgery on his right foot, he was directly reimbursed for the season.

Although the Turtles had a great time leading the team, they still failed to bring the team into the playoffs.

Fans can see that sometimes there is a gap between "brush" and "brush". . .The ability to lead a team is a bit far behind!

Closer to home, take the matchup between Cosmos Yong and the Grizzlies as an example. Although the Warriors only lost seven games this season, there were Grizzlies in these seven games.

Now this Warriors is undoubtedly in the best period in team history.In the regular season of this season, they successfully achieved the best record in NBA history by virtue of their quick offensive and defensive transitions, tight defense, and the magical performance of the Splash Brothers and Zhan Huang.At present, there are no obvious injuries in the team. After the end of the season, the players are at their peak.

But in comparison, the Grizzlies' system seems to be more mature. In the past few seasons, under the guidance of the two coaches, Hollins and Jogel, they have interpreted the art of defense to a new level.And this season, on the offensive end, the Grizzlies have also joined Ariza, Jeff Green and other good players, and the offensive and defensive ends are more balanced.

The Warriors' offensive and defensive transition rhythm in the regular season is the fastest in the entire league.On the other hand, the Grizzlies are masters of blunt knives. This season, their rhythm is the fifth slowest in the league.

In other words, the upcoming duel will be a round of rhythm battle.If the Warriors can perfectly play the fast break + three-point tactics, then they may bring down their opponents in the game.

But if the Warriors can't play speed and fall into the trap of the Grizzlies in hand-to-hand combat, even if they can win this round, it will take too much energy.

Although Universe Yong has a high probability of breaking through, but this round of the series will definitely not be easy for them.

This pair of "battle of strong offense and strong defense" is destined to be very exciting!

Look at the old enemies of the Clippers and the Spurs.

Their duel was also full of suspense. In the regular season, the two teams faced off 4 times and tied 2-2.In contrast, the Spurs are slightly better than the Clippers in terms of system and experience.

Although the record was poor in the early part of the season due to adjustments, after the All-Star Game, they double-killed the Warriors and double-killed the Glory. It can be said that the Spurs basically killed all the Western powerhouses, and the state is extremely hot!
The most impressive thing about the Spurs is Gobert's growth. He averaged 9 points and 9 rebounds per game this season and ranked third in the league with 2.3 shots. He has a super ability to protect the inside!

At present, he has topped Splitter and successfully become the Spurs and the starting center. The inside duo formed with Duncan is the nightmare of many assault masters!

The Spurs are in a brave state and the Clippers' short-hand Griffin is habitually weak in the playoffs. Facing Duncan and Gobert's insiders, it is difficult to play a bursting performance in the regular season. It seems that the Spurs will advance. The probability is higher.

However, the Clippers are not without a chance, because they have the home court advantage in the first round, and this alone can make the game more variable.

Beyond that, all that's left is the Texas Civil War between the Rockets and the Mavericks.

In the regular season of this season, the Rockets and the Mavericks have played a total of 4 times, and the Rockets lead the Mavericks 3:1.

Comparing the two teams, the Mavericks' offense is slightly better than the Rockets', but the Rockets' defense is better than the Mavericks'. From this point of view, Ye Yingjie is still optimistic about the Rockets' advancement!

Of course, the Mavericks are not without opportunities. If Nuo Tianwang can dream of returning to the peak of the 10-11 season, the Mavericks will have a weak hope of winning.

As rivals in the same district, the Rockets and Mavericks have always had grievances in the past.This season, Morey and Cuban also fought a war of words.

For Rockets fans, the last time the two teams met in the playoffs was a lingering shadow.

That goes back to the 2004-05 season ten years ago, when the Rockets led by Yao Mai encountered the Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs.In the case of winning 2 away games first, they lost all of the next 2 home games.The first 6 games were tied 3:3, but in the last seventh game, the Rockets were slaughtered by the Mavericks with a 40-point advantage and were eliminated.This is also a very sad period in the history of the Rockets.

However, it has been 10 years since that playoff confrontation, and most of the players who experienced that battle are no longer in the team.

The Rockets have never defeated the Mavericks in a playoff series in history. This year, it will be their moment to change history.

The Glory team's opponent in the first round of the playoffs was the Trail Blazers, and they were naturally Ye Yingjie's most important analysis object.

The Blazers are a team that relies on superstars, and the double-virtue combination of power forward Aldridge and guard Lillard is what they rely on.

They have always convinced people with "virtue"!
Both of Shuangde averaged more than 20 points per game, and they are one of the best scorers in the league. As for Afflalo, Lopez and Batum, they play the role of thugs.

Compared with last season, the Blazers have undergone a major transformation on the defensive end. In terms of limiting opponents' scoring, the Blazers have dropped from 102.8 points last season to 98.4 points this season.

However, compared to last season, their season is not smooth, because in the later part of the season, as Matthews was reimbursed for the season due to injury, the Blazers' reliance on the double virtue on the offensive end has further deepened, and the physical condition of the double virtue is worrying. .

In addition, there are many hidden injuries in the Blazers, such as Afflalo's shoulder injury, Aldridge's foot injury, Batum's knee injury, and Kaman's back injury.Therefore, the Blazers have been in the rhythm of running in a new main lineup at the end of the regular season.

Compared with this, the Glory team is currently strong and strong, and the health of the whole team is very high. In the final game of the regular season, except for Ye Yingjie, everyone else has gone through rotations, and their physical reserves are also super good. This makes the two teams The stability of the teams varies widely.

During the regular season, the Glory team swept the Blazers with a record of 4 victories. In addition, the Glory team has home court advantage in the playoffs. Last year's sweep of the Blazers also made the Blazers have a deep psychological shadow on them, so they killed the Blazers Undoubtedly inevitable, what Ye Yingjie was thinking about was how to kill the Blazers while fully recovering his physical fitness.

Ye Yingjie, who was strategizing, already had a lot of ideas in his mind, and he was waiting to implement them after discussing them with Coach Stevens!
Playoffs, here I come again!

The war will start, who will control the ups and downs!
