Chapter 1574: The dust settled in the first round, the upsets all fly (part 2)

After the Hawks won the tiebreaker, the Eastern Conference Final Four was also decided. The Cavaliers and the Greens, the Magic and the Hawks, and the top four teams in the Eastern Conference advanced smoothly without any upsets. These four teams will also fight for two. Eastern Conference places.
In the West, except for the Lakers' early advancement and waiting for their opponents, the other three matchups can be described as unpopular.
First of all, the Lakers ushered in their next round of opponents much faster than they expected.
According to the arrangement of the competition system, the Lakers’ opponents will be formed between the Nuggets and the Jazz. These two opponents can be said to be old acquaintances of the Lakers. In the first two seasons when the Lakers successfully won the championship, both the Jazz and the Nuggets have Twice as a stepping stone for the Lakers to win the championship.
In the 2007-2008 season, the Lakers swept the Nuggets 4-0 in the first round of the playoffs and defeated the Jazz 4-1 in the semifinals. In the 2008-2009 season, the Lakers swept the Jazz 4-0 in the first round and beat the Nuggets 4-1 in the Western Conference Finals.
It can be said that no matter who can win this group of duels, the Lakers will have the absolute initiative, so the Lakers are confident in preparing for the battle.
However, although the Lakers do not care who can advance, this does not affect the Lakers players’ speculation on this. There is no doubt that among the 13 players on the team, except for Ji Feng who is slightly optimistic about the Jazz, everyone else is more. Optimistic about the Nuggets' ability to advance, and even Kobe believes that the Nuggets have a chance to solve the battle in 5 games.
This is also the same as the outside world. Almost everyone is more optimistic that the Nuggets can kill the Jazz. After all, the Nuggets were the team in the Western Conference finals last season. Anthony and Billups are still strong this season.
The reason why Ji Feng is optimistic about the Jazz is not that the Jazz is absolutely stronger than the Nuggets, but Ji Feng believes that based on the regular season record and the last 20 games of the regular season, the Jazz should be better than the Nuggets.
In the regular season, the Jazz drove low and went high, all the way from tenth to fifth in the West. After the All-Stars, they won 70% of the games and won 8 of the last 10 games. This state is excellent. .
On the other hand, the Nuggets are driving high and low. They have been ranked second in the West before the All-Stars. They began to decline after the All-Stars, falling from second to fourth all the way, and only one and a half wins away from the Jazz, especially in the last 10. After being blasted by the Lakers, they lost 6 of 10 games.
More importantly, facing the Jazz, the Nuggets fell behind 1-3 in 4 games. It can be said that they do not have any advantage. With George Carr missing the first round of the playoffs due to illness, Ji Feng is more optimistic about the Jazz.
"Hey, although I also want the Jazz to advance because they look better, but you know." After the prediction, Farmar said to Ji Feng slyly.
The first Nuggets victory seemed to prove the strength of the Nuggets. In the second game, although the Nuggets were defeated by the Jazz with a three-point advantage, the overall feeling was more like an overturned ship in the gutter. Three points, the Jazz will never have a chance.
However, in the third game, the Nuggets were lost in Utah...
Except for Anthony and Billups, who scored 25 points each, none of the Nuggets' other players actually scored in double figures. Jr was even a sanctioned sleepwalker and scored 4 points in 23 minutes.
The Jazz had three scoring 20, five scoring double figures to give the Nuggets a disastrous defeat, the Jazz got the advantage.
And in the crucial fourth game, Anthony finally broke out and scored 39 points and 11 rebounds in a large double-double. However, as many as 9 turnovers in the game allowed the Jazz to still take the initiative on the court.
Boozer had 31 points and 13 rebounds, Deron had 23 points and 13 assists. The Jazz won another game at home, leading 3-1 in total.
At this time, the Lakers had begun to prepare for the Jazz with all their strength, Farmar was also embarrassed to speak, and Ji Feng silently took away their sinful gambling capital. He did not expect that he would have unexpected gains when others played...
The Nuggets, who stepped into the cliff, returned to the home court and finally awakened. All 6 players scored in double figures and they tied the big score to 2-3.
"We will do our best to get the game back to home, trust me!" Although Billups promised so much after the game, they did play very hard in the sixth game, but they still couldn't change the fate of being eliminated.
Billups tried very hard to continue his record. He scored 30 points and 8 assists, but his teammates gave him too little support. Anthony scored 22 points and 12 rebounds, but he only made 6 of 22 shots. , Smith was completely contained, with only 3 points.
Deron smiled happily after the game, because they once again completed a counterattack, smoothly ending Billups' record of seven consecutive years of reaching the conference finals.
The Lakers and Jazz will be the first group showdown in the Western Conference.
On the other hand, the Suns won equally easily. Although the Blazers had a successful counterattack in the first game, they missed the opportunity due to injuries. The total score was 4-2. The Blazers and the Nuggets were eliminated on the same day.
The Suns were able to eliminate the Blazers 4:2 mainly due to the defense and the bravery of the dunk king. Except that the Blazers scored 105 points in the first game, the Blazers scored 96 points in the fourth game, and the Blazers scored no higher in the remaining 4 games. With 90 points, there is no way, but to make it clear that the Blazers do not have excellent flanking offensive ability. Roy only played 1 game, 4 of 16 and Oden didn't even play a game.
However, the eliminated Trail Blazers also gained respect. It is beyond the expectation of most people to play the sixth game with this lineup and the Suns. Again, if the complete Trail Blazers have no injuries, What height will they reach?
The Suns' opponent in the semifinals is their old acquaintance, the Spurs!
That's right, the Spurs Black Seven lost the second-ranked Mavericks in the West, which also broke the biggest upset so far in this playoffs!
San Antonio on April 30.
When the Mavericks only scored a poor 8 points in the first quarter, the suspense of this game, or this series, is actually gone-although the Mavericks almost succeeded in the third quarter counterattack, it would rather be seen As the back light of the Mavericks' luxury division, they eventually lost the entire season at the at&t center in San Antonio, and Cuban also lost all the bets these years.
Jason Kidd, Caron Butler, Sean Marion, and Heywood, these source of true energy that were added to the Mavericks' body one after another failed to escape the Spurs' clutches.
According to the small points, the Mavericks lost to the Spurs by 3 points in the entire 6 games series~EbookFREE.me~ But the Mavericks' throat was choked to death by Vitch.
Since the first home game 100-94 victory over the Spurs, the Mavericks have never shot more than 45% in the next five games. Even in the fifth game with a 22-point victory over the Spurs, the Mavericks shot only 44%.
Obviously, offense is the most significant feature of the Mavericks under Carlisle. Even Butler and Heywood, who were in the mid-season, are to enhance the team's offensive firepower. But in the face of Vic’s defensive system, the Mavericks were at a loss, especially after the Spurs’ troika re-run, the Mavericks’ weak defense became even weaker-even in the second game, they lost at home to their opponents. 14 points, which actually laid the groundwork for the final result of this series, until after losing to the Spurs in the third game, the Mavericks basically embarked on a path that will never recover-Nowitzki's helpless eyes The drooping head with Jason Terry is the best answer.
"The Mavericks are really miserable." Ji Feng could only shake his head and sigh. In three seasons, he was awarded the Black Eight and Black Seven. The Mavericks deserved the title of the worst team in the first round of history.
