From Today it is the King of the Basketball

Time: May 30, 2003.

Event: The Hawks visited the Gross Arena, and the second game in the series with the Nets.

After the game started, the Nets quickly took the lead. The Nets gave up the strongest defense as soon as they came up, instead of starting the two sides to play offensive temptations like the last game, directly taking Kidd, Rucios Harry Defensive lineups of Richards, Richard Jefferson, Kenyon Martin, and Jason Collins took over and defended.

After the Eagles were beaten up at the start, they immediately responded. Who is afraid of who! The same sacrifice came out of defense, and the situation began to scorch.

After the first quarter, the Nets led by three points over 18. In the second quarter, after the two sides entered the rotation, the Nets still fight defensively, grind their positions and play a 17-17 single quarter score.

After halftime, the Hawks are still three points behind, the score is brutal 35 to 38.

In the third quarter, the two teams played a decent game offensively, but the Hawks didn't get much benefit, 27 to 28, the score difference not only did not shrink, but also can be expanded by one point!

After three quarters, the Hawks trailed 62 points to 66 points.

In the final quarter, the two teams entered the defensive situation again. Liu Mang, Jason Terry and Rahim tried to open the situation, but they were all strangled in the trying stage. The Nets deserved to have played in the finals. Being beaten 4-0 by the Lakers did not break down, enough to see how firm the mind is. No matter how bad the offense is, it insists on defending first. Kidd made 0 mistakes in the game and steadily delivered ammunition to his teammates. It doesn't matter if you can't vote, slowly defend and fight slowly.

The Nets can't afford to lose. If they lose another home game, their mentality may collapse.

After the Hawks won the first series, some mentality changed.

It cannot be said that it is arrogant, nor can it be said that it despised the opponent.

It's ... satisfaction!

After the Hawks knew the opponent was definitely the Nets, the goal of the first two games was to at least grab an away game and take home advantage.

In a series such as the division finals, it is too difficult to win two away games in a row. The Hawks did not have arrogance in the second game, but just felt satisfied.

When the two teams fight for defense in the first game, it can be seen that there is no qualitative difference between the two teams, and there is no one to break the deadlock. It is just that neither team can pass the other team's current defense and break the deadlock.

In the second half of the fourth quarter, the two teams scored 16 points in the fourth quarter, adding up to 16 points. The Hawks were 70 to 74, still 4 points behind.

Seeing that the game was going to be tortured by the Nets, Liu Mang tried to make a foul under the basket, but was met with a better prepared defense by the opponent. Because Liu Mang used the Jordan star card two days ago, he was too fast to rush The Nets are ready to play life defense even if they ca n’t resist. The level of life is based on the performance of Liu Mang ’s third quarter in the previous game. Even Liu Mang can play life, but he ca n’t stand today without the last game. The ability to counterattack failed.

The statistics of the players of the two teams in this game are ugly and can no longer be ugly. The Nets bluntly rely on home advantage to grind the defense to the death. Although the Hawks also go all out, they have lost the Nets. With the momentum, the Nets can't lose anymore, and the Hawks' away goal has been reached. When the last moment of the basket hits his life, Liu Mang also got down.

No matter how he sprayed at Kidd, no matter how exciting he said, Liu Mang did n’t even change his defense. Although he was n’t as miserable as Billups, he was n’t so good. He got 6 of 15 shots. 17 points, the hit rate will reach 40%.

Of course, Kidd is also quite miserable, with 3 of 12 in the game and only scored 8 points, but with 12 rebounds and 8 assists, the key is 0 turnovers!

Kidd entered the state of concentration completely today, fighting for winning!

In the end, the Nets relied on the iron-defense defense, 84 to 79, to defend the second home.

...

With 1 win and 1 loss on the road, the Hawks lost the second game here, and there was not much disappointment, because the away record is ahead, and their own team took home advantage back!

The second day after the second game, on May 31, the Hawks returned to Atlanta by charter, and Joe Joe also left Wilkins with New Jersey to watch two games. As a fan, the first game The third quarter was good-looking, and the second game was ugly. The two of them were invited to play at the Sea Casino together, and then watch the game when the Hawks arrived at the final.

The Hawks returned to Atlanta that night, on the west side, the Spurs played their second home game. They were as fast as the Nets when they were 0 to 1, but they were not defensive, they were offensive!

Duncan scored 32 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks. Parker scored 19 points and 4 assists. Ginobili scored 24 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 steals. The troika ran for the first time and scored 75 points. , Led the Spurs to a 120-point victory over the Mavericks by 14 points!

The content of the two divisional finals in two consecutive days is completely different from what the fans imagined!

In the series on the east side, the first game was okay. Liu Mang's third quarter runaway made fans addicted.

But in the second game, fans are looking forward to the counterattack between the two teams. After all, the Nets and Hawks are the top two teams in the counterattack scoring list in the regular season. Who wants to play the game and the Spurs and 76 in 2001? As in the regular season, people wear defense all the way.

After watching the second game, the fans remembered one thing. If the first game was not relying on Liu Mang in the third quarter, both games were grinding defense!

At this point, the fans finally understand, don't look at how much the Nets and Hawks have played in the first two rounds. At the Eastern Conference, when the two strongest teams in the East meet, they still return to the main theme of the East.

And they all see that it is not that the Hawks do n’t want to speed up, but that they ca n’t raise it at all! Both teams have entered the strange circle of defensive defense. The stronger the defense, the tighter the defense, the harder the cast, the infinite loop.

On the western side, where few people are concerned, actually played two consecutive high-quality high-scoring offensive pairs. The most important thing is that Duncan scored even better than Nowitzki. Duncan scored 74 in the first two games. Novisky scored 68 points in the first two games combined. When Duncan played against Novisky, not only did he defend better than Nowitzki, but also attacked Nowitzki on the offensive end. Now it seems that it is obviously not as good as the Mavericks' lineup, and it is stunned to return to a city at home.

Fans all think that the Spurs' game is awkward and ugly, but this time the Spurs encountered the difficult to defend Nowitzki and the regular season looked half dead but Finley suddenly ran away in the West and was forced to score. I didn't expect to play pretty well!

After comparing the fans, they were surprised to find that the game situation they initially predicted seemed to be reversed!

...

...

After returning to home, the Hawks ushered in two consecutive home games against the Nets.

After returning to the home court, the Hawks tried to use the offensive to suppress the Nets, wanting to break the uncomfortable rhythm brought by the Nets in the first two games.

I didn't expect the Nets to have the same idea. The style of the two teams' game suddenly changed from a defensive battle to an offensive battle!

On June 2, the third game in the Hawks and Nets series, the Hawks defeated the Nets 119 to 101 at home.

In this game, after the Hawks started the game, they found that the Nets also wanted to suddenly change their rhythm. And after the game changed from the beginning of the game to attack, Mike Woodson quickly made defensive changes to the Kidd pass. The siege restricted Kidd's total assists to four. Kidd only scored 13 points and four assists in this game. Although he grabbed 14 rebounds, the Nets attacked poorly and was very fast-paced. Under the circumstances, the Nets' shooting percentage is only 39%. On the Hawks side, Liu Mang scored 26 points, Rahim scored, Jason Terry scored 30 points, and cut the Nets. Under the horse.

But on June 4th, the Hawks lost their second home game!

Relying on Kidd's runaway scored 34 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists. Although there were 5 mistakes, Kidd's career on the offensive end scored 30+ in the playoffs for the first time!

The main use of the Hawks ’defensive strategy in the third game to successfully pass the pass. Kidd made a decisive shot today. 15 of 27 shots. The key is to feel good. Use the mid-range students to vote for the Hawks. died!

When Kidd needed a double-team to defend, the Nets attacked madly and took home the home advantage 125 to 110.

2 to 2, after four games, the Hawks were equalized by the Nets!

In this game, the Eagles took it for granted. Kidd broke out as an accident, but the third successful defense allowed the Eagles to firmly give Kidd's strategy. Kidd scored 34 points. After all, it was the Eagles' own care. Now!

...

Then, following the Mavericks and Spurs series after each game of the Eagles and the Nets, it seems that the law of conservation of the iron fight has emerged.

The fans just transferred the game from the East to the West, and then the Spurs and Mavericks just started defending ...

After the Spurs arrived in Dallas, the next two games, mainly Finley's short-lived peak performance, went back to home. The Spurs found out, hey, only Nowitzki is left!

Then Duncan was responsible for the mutual explosion with Nowitzki. The Spurs' role players defended the others and scored two consecutive games. The score was 86 to 83, 91 to 85. The Spurs scored two consecutive games away and scored the big score. 3 ratio!

The Spurs continued their dominance in this year's playoffs. In the three consecutive rounds, they all scored at least a 3-1 lead in the first four games! This kind of dominance ~ www.readwn.com ~ In the past 20 years, only the Bulls and Lakers have done it!

The Spurs are Duncan single-core!

The playoffs are not over yet, but after four games, Duncan rebounds, assists, blocks and even scores are all overwhelming Nowitzki!

This year's Western Conference playoffs can be regarded as a key matchup for power forwards. Nowitzki, Weber, Duncan and Garnett have all entered the playoffs. After the collapse of the Lakers Dynasty, who can laugh to the end, who is In one fell swoop, Duncan became the one who stood out.

Fans were really shocked by Duncan ’s average of 31 points, 17 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks per game in the first four games. Seeing Duncan like an innocent killer beat Novisky to the end, he really admired Duncan The strength of the other players in the two teams is so unequal, leading the Spurs to play an absolute advantage of 3-1.

However, the fans are about to collapse!

After the first two games in the East-West Finals, the fans "understood" that the East is still a blood-shot East, the West is a romantic West, the East is playing defense, and the West is still attacking.

Atlanta, Dallas, San Antonio, New Jersey, the local fans of these teams, must be watching the game of their own team, and the other 25 teams also want to watch the game fans or unowned fans, except for a few defensive controls Want to see the wonderful confrontation, so the focus shifted from east to west.

However, they found that when they watched the Western Conference finals, the Western Conference had just started to defend! The overwhelming Spurs defended the Mavericks.

And the **** in the east actually turned into an offensive battle, and the big score was 2 to 2! It looks intensely exciting and nervous!

Some fans who have continuously bought the live-view ratings of the two Western Conference finals in Dallas feel that this year's division finals are poisonous!
