Chapter 495: Little suspense

In the Western Conference semifinals, the Grizzlies lost to the Mavericks in the first game.
Compared with the Rockets, the Mavericks’ offensive power is obviously much stronger. The mid-season deal now seems to be a win-win. Nowitzki’s strength is declining. The Mavericks need some other firepower, even if it’s just a quasi-All-star level. .
Little Curry can't play a role temporarily, but Middleton and Little Tim Hardaway are indeed firepower.
The Mavericks have other firepower, and their defense is better than the Rockets. The situation is different.
While the Lakers lost to the Clippers in the first game of the Western Conference semifinals, James scored a triple-double but not high.
In fact, Kobe scored the highest points in the playoffs, but the Clippers blossomed more. Griffin played so well this time, he also scored a triple-double.
In fact, Griffin and Paul overlap in some abilities, and their partner is not so successful. What they need is more pure scorers.
Life in the playoffs is easy, and players don’t need additional training, and it’s easier to get along.
The second game of the Eastern Conference semifinals was still at home. After the first game, the Knicks understood the current Green Army better.
In order to counter the Knicks' inside line, the Celtics gave Zeller, who didn't have a three-pointer, more playing time.
Their team tactics are really good, and they played back and forth with the Knicks in the start.
However, the score is that the Knicks have been slightly ahead, this time Leonard came up to play very fiercely, it can be said to suppress Butler.
In terms of physical fitness, Leonard still feels slightly better.
Under Qi Li's attention, Leonard has grown very well and has no troublesome injuries. He has successfully changed from a physical striker to a comprehensive technical striker.
And even if the Celtics increase the height of the inside, the Knicks have an advantage in the inside.
The other two points are Curry and Clay, which really involve a lot of defensive attention.
The two's three-pointers were too tough, even when they were not holding the ball, no one dared to relax. They were completely different from the previous three-point shooters, and they always put huge psychological pressure on their opponents.
In the first half, as you come and go, the Knicks gradually expanded their lead.
Did not lead to double digits, but slowly accumulated and it is almost the same. If the Celtics do not have a new breaking point, they will definitely be unable to hold the second half.
They also know, but they also tried their best. The more reasonable the team, the harder it is to perform miracles on the Knicks.
But some littering teams may explode in character, and the Knicks accidentally lose.
Of course that refers to the regular season, and this is less likely to happen in the playoffs.
Of all the playoff teams, it is estimated that only the Spurs have this situation, but they have been eliminated.
After all, you can win one game in a similar situation. If you want to win four games, you must have a star to come forward.
In the third quarter, the Celtics really have a tendency to wither, and no matter what the team is, if the game is difficult, there must be a star to stand up.
Butler increased singles, but his efficiency against Leonard was only average.
The Knicks don't need flanking, Leonard can do it alone, and now the two people who need flanking on the front line are in the West, and the Knicks have at most one.
After the Knicks continued to expand their lead, the game gradually lost its suspense.
After the Celtics had no alternative during the rotation, they did not even return to all the main players.
After trying a few three-pointers and failing to score, there will be no more, and the Knicks will make another move.
"Today we let the Knicks players work hard to get these opportunities. This is progress." After the game Celtics coach Stevens fierce player, "We actually had opportunities in the game, as long as our Shooting is better."
But he also reluctantly said, "They have a lot of athletic talented players, and their mental strength is also very strong."
Qi Li is a commonplace saying, "Our players put a high degree of concentration on the game, played with determination and will, and I watched the performance on the sidelines throughout the game."
The Knicks were interviewed with a taste of commercial mutual praise, and the players praised the coach.
Curry said: "One thing I have to say is that I admire the team's head coach Qi very much. No matter how the situation on the field changes, he can be calm and comfortable, but in his heart, he has a killer heart. He is always ready to face the game, which also keeps us full of vitality. Whether it is offensive or defensive, he hopes that we can play strong enough. He is the champion coach."
Leonard also said, "He is a great coach. He is always ready to help us win every game in the right way. As a player, we must unconditionally implement his intentions."
In the other semifinals of the Eastern Conference, the Hawks still did not let the Wizards continue.
They used their good team to attack and defeat the opponent, making the series a 1:1 tie.
For Qi Li, it doesn't matter who these two opponents advance to him, the Knicks will have an absolute advantage.
The Western Lakers won the away game in the second game. James used his strength to dominate the final quarter. His scoring ability at critical moments. The gap between the stars is really too big. Paul and Griffin may not be as old as Kobe Bryant. .
On the other side, the Grizzlies and the Mavericks also drew 1:1.
The Mavericks' current stability is also unstable. The team's several strengths are not stable enough. This round of the series mainly depends on the Mavericks' state. The Grizzlies still have the two strong points of defense and interior.
After the two games, it was another home and away exchange that easily caused changes in the game.
However, relative to the other three battlefields, relative to the other groups, the Knicks' advantage is visible to the naked eye.
In the third game, the Celtics made some changes in the first quarter, and they let Butler make an effort earlier.
However, this choice did not benefit them, Butler did not explode, Leonard's defense made him uncomfortable ~EbookFREE.me~ leading to the Knicks earlier gain the advantage.
Although the opponent's situation has improved, the Knicks' advantage has been established.
"Sure enough, Butler is still not as good as Leonard."
"The Celtics need someone to score and no one can stand up. They are still a lot behind the Knicks."
"The Knicks in the playoffs and the Knicks in the regular season are not a team at all. They don't make mistakes."
"But the Knicks in the regular season are also No. 1 in the league. They are too strong."
By this time, the Celtics must make some changes. If this game loses in the Eastern Conference semifinals, there will be no more suspense.
Of course, this series has little suspense.
Their choice allowed Crowder to start and form a three-forward lineup.
However, for the Knicks, this will not have a very good effect.
