Chapter 377: [Unexpectedly unpopular, no one is optimistic]

In the other round of the Eastern Conference series, the Nets swept the Knicks 4-0, taking the lead to advance.
Center "Little Shark" Eddie Curry due to his good performance against Ben Wallace, many media began to brag about him. He was able to make a jumper in the middle after a pick-and-roll from the outside and also picked up Ben Wallace many times in the low post.
Big Ben was elected the best defensive player, but his defense is actually flawed. Players with height, weight and range are often deflated because he is too short. The opponent's huge body protects the basketball and can move freely. He can only push the person out of the three-second zone, which is difficult to block.
In fact, as early as the 2002 World Championships, Big Ben's weakness was already exposed. In the game of the Chinese bench center Baxing against the United States, he scored 19 points and 7 rebounds on 6-of-8 shooting. Knowing that the Baxing will squeeze in to play the board, the big book can't be covered.
Curry played similarly, with a low post to turn to the bottom line, or turn to the middle to hook, with a soft shot.
If the big shot can shoot and can be opened, the Nets coach Byron Scott will not dare to let Curry play too long, and the fat man will be poor. But the big offensive end can make any insider the best defensive player, even if he is misplaced to the basket, as long as the defender fouls in time, it can prevent it.
Outside Kittles Sprewell is also doing very well. The "madman" attack is mainly a face frame, afraid of agile defenders.
The other positions are dominated by the Nets, especially the point guard, Kidd victory over Charlie Ward.
The Knicks reduced the Nets' scoring efficiency, but unfortunately the team's offense is worse. The offensive end is frequently blocked, and Larry Brown does not try to arrange tactics for Yao Ming, allowing him to shoot more. The inside is to use a group of blue-collar muscular men to fight against the opponent.
After the Knicks were eliminated, Chinese fans hated Larry Brown, and the Chinese media did not say anything good about Brown. Unfortunately, no matter how dissatisfied, Brown would not hear.
The western showdown was even more intense, and all entered the tie-break.
The Mavericks eliminated the Suns 4-3. Joe Johnson scored a lore goal for the Suns in the sixth game. He had no choice but to grab the Mavericks' trident at home to show off his power and his hands were hot. Nash had 18 points and 11 assists, Nowitzki had 34 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists, and Finley had 22 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
In this series, Marion had the upper hand against Finley, and the defense was excellent. Marbury did not lose against Nash. The key to victory was that O'Neal was slammed by Nowitzki for three games.
O'Neal is already the league's hottest power forward, but when playing against Duncan, Garnett and Nowitzki, he was always taught to be a man.
Bizarrely, even though the Nowitzki series blew O'Neal Jr. and won the MVP in the regular season, he averaged 42.5 minutes in the playoffs, scoring 25.3 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.2 steals and 1 block. Some people still said he was Softie, what kind of defense... This is clearly racial discrimination.
Another series broke out, and the Spurs eliminated the Lakers 4-3.
The O'Neal series averaged 29 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 2.5 blocks per game. His shooting percentage was 56.7%. David Robinson was completely exploded, averaging only 7 points and 6 rebounds.
Bryant averaged 32 points, 5 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.5 steals. He shot 43.2% from the field and 40.3% from the 3-point range. He also broke Bruce Bowen and Brian Russell.
The Lakers failed because of the contradiction between the OK team. In order to win, the two actively cooperated and did not dare to relax. Kobe Bryant has made remarkable progress this year, averaging 2.1 three-pointers in the playoffs, scoring a new career high, and playing at a super level.
The loss is because the Lakers are generally weak. In addition to the OK combination, the team is all blue-collar, the team's third scoring point is Derek Fisher, averaging 12 points per game, only 1.8 assists. As a starting point guard, this stat can be pulled out and shot. Maybe only when going to the nightclub, Fisher can prove his ability to control the ball.
Rick Fox was injured in the first round and missed the series against the Spurs, which was an important reason for losing. Looking at the statistics, Fox is not a big deal. In fact, he is a very good defensive small forward, which is crucial in the system.
Fox is a 3D player who does a good job of running the ball and catching the ball. Devin George has excellent physical quality, defensive and three-point points are not as good as Fox, can not open up space for teammates.
Kobe Bryant's three-point shot this time is helpless, in order to win, "Zen Master" Jackson can only arrange for him to shoot more outside.
On the Spurs' side, in addition to Duncan's stability, the important players for winning are Tinsley and Ginobili. Their breakthrough is very sharp, and Ginobili can also shoot three points. By the pick-and-roll, both of them played well.
Coaches competed, and Popovich performed better than Phil Jackson.
The "Zen Master" arranged the triangle offense as before, and watched the players quietly on the sidelines. They basically did not adjust.
Popovich will adjust the tactics according to the opponent's situation at any time. When to shrink, when to cut the shark, single defense against Kobe, O'Neill, and strict protection against others, the division of labor is arranged in an orderly manner. With only Duncan as a superstar on the team, the Spurs can eliminate the Lakers, which has to be said to be a miracle.
Duncan is undoubtedly one of the strongest players in the league. He averaged 42 minutes in the playoffs, scoring 24 points, 12.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.4 blocks. His shooting percentage was 53.5%. He is not inferior to O'Neal. The data is monster-level.
The Raptors won the Lakers twice in the playoffs, and the methods to deal with the Lakers have been learned by other teams. As long as the other offensive points are blocked, the OK combination scores 60 points and is useless, plus the role players play, the score may not be able to break 100.
After the game, almost all media predicted that the Lakers would disintegrate in the summer, but they did not know who the management would stay.
The Western Conference finals will be staged with the Bulls and Horses, the Eastern Wizards VS the Nets, the Nets have a home advantage.
ESPN organized a team of 13 experts to predict the outcome, with 9 players optimistic about the Mavericks eliminating the Spurs, with a score of 4-2 or a tie-break. There are also 4 people who are optimistic about the Spurs' promotion, mainly to see if they can prevent the Mavericks' offense.
The Eastern Conference finals predicted to be one-sided. There are 3 people who are optimistic about the Nets' elimination of the Wizards in five games, and 8 people are optimistic about the Nets' promotion in six games. .
Everyone is based on the record of the regular season. The Wizards are not much behind the Nets, but the two sides faced each other. The Wizards were swept by the Nets. The lineup seemed to be restrained.
No matter the position battle or the fast break~EbookFREE.me~ Both teams can play, they also lack super scorers, and the staffing is very similar.
The Nets are slightly better than the stars.
Many fans think that this season's regular season MVP should belong to Kidd. Although he averaged less than 20 points per game, his shooting percentage is also slightly lower, only 41.4%, but he is the league assists leader, which is more able to drive The whole team. Nowitzki's main task is to score, just a scorer.
Fans who are curious think that the playoffs play for the Bulls, the Wizards show a stronger fighting ability than the regular season, Yang Rui will arrange appropriate tactics against the Nets, there are ways to lead the team to win.
Others really believe that the decline in Jordan's postseason data is due to a knee injury, saying that if Jordan can play all his strength, the Wizards will be stronger, and now only 70% strength. In fact, Jordan has tried his best in the first two rounds.
The league is behind the scenes and the two rounds of the series are completely heated.
Many people want to see if Jordan can make a miracle in the last season.
