Chapter 493: Easily

In the Western Conference, the Spurs returned to home and defeated the Clippers again, leading the series.
Could it be that there is going to be a black eight? If the media is more to stir up the emotions of the fans, after this victory, the outside world already feels that the Spurs black eight is very likely.
Love, who scored the most points for the Spurs in this game, was not too strong, but they were too good overall.
And Paul and Griffin, their two All-Stars never disappoint in terms of disappointing.
In fact, they are not so bad, but their personal characteristics are not suitable for the team boss.
Their scoring ability at critical moments is too bad, even if Paul's evaluation in the first position is no use.
The Mavericks and Warriors game, went to the away Mavericks and won the series lead.
The current Mavericks are stronger than in the original history. Of course, they still can't solve the problem of Nowitzki's aging team that it is difficult to find new key players. Middleton is not such a player.
Fortunately, the volatility of the two stars of the Warriors is also relatively large. Harden must have grown up, but it is difficult for George to get back to the state in a short time, which caused the Warriors to have some problems.
The Grizzlies and Rockets game, the Rockets returning to the home court finally relied on offense to get a game.
If the Rockets take a three-pointer, they are actually very strong, but it looks a bit like the magic of the past.
In the Blazers and Lakers game, the Lakers also won the match point 3:0 neatly.
In a way, Kobe's injury also made James the absolute core of the team faster. James still has a set of driving role players.
Be teammates with James, defend well, and think of ways to throw in after receiving his pass, and you can perform well.
But don't think too much about the ball. There are no role players, and the team still has Kobe.
The fourth game between the Knicks and the Nets is the question of not sweeping.
The first three games have been very certain, the strength of the two sides has a big gap, but when the Knicks also have cramps this season, we can't say that we must sweep.
The Nets still started with great momentum, a taste of desperately trying to the end.
The problem is that they have not been able to limit the Knicks offense, so the score is not as good as the third game.
The Nets can't solve the rotation problem, so they chose the simplest and rude way, which is to play the main force on the court. They really don't want to be swept.
They did play their own characteristics, but the score was still behind.
There is really no way. Curry and Leonard are very stable, and the Nets can't limit them.
The Nets can be said to have worsened their defense this season. Their original intention was to improve the offense, but in many cases they will fall into a situation where the offense has not changed and the defense has become very poor. The Nets are the same.
The Nets didn't gain an advantage in the first half, and the Nets soldiers were really desperate.
During the intermission, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
On the Knicks side, Qi Li wanted to calm down the players and finish the second half well.
In the third quarter, Curry and Clay took the lead and set the tone of the game.
The Nets really couldn't win, and because the main force played longer in the first half, they were a bit powerless.
Defensively, the Knicks continued to put pressure after the rotation came up, and the Nets collapsed.
Not only the strength of the team, but the mentality of the players can't stand it anymore. Everyone is thinking that in the end they will lose anyway. It is better to go back to rest early. Facing a strong opponent like the Knicks is simply torture.
In the final quarter, the Hawks replaced the starting surrender a few minutes earlier, and the Knicks' first round ended smoothly.
After the game, the Nets coach Hollins mouthed bitterly, "We worked very hard. They came with a mission. I am proud of this team."
Qi Li happily praised the performance of the players and expressed his expectations for the second round.
"Whether it is the Celtics or the Pacers, we are all familiar with it, and we know how to deal with them."
It's not surprising that the Knicks can sweep their opponents, but then the Hawks lost to the Bulls again, and the series and the opponent's 2:2 match was somewhat unexpected.
The Bulls won this game entirely with defense and team cooperation. Known as the Eastern Spurs' Eagles, they still lack some characteristics. No wonder they didn't get the recognition of the outside world.
According to Qi Li, the Eagles are good, but there are indeed some pseudo-strong teams. Historically, the Eagles did not continue to maintain the lineup and directly eliminated the opportunity to become better. I don’t know if they will become a real strong team if they develop. .
And the bigger surprise was that the Raptors were swept by the Wizards, and the Wizards were perfect.
Standing on the edge of the cliff, the Raptors’ offensive core DeRozan did not show their true strength. The Raptors used him as the core to build a team, which would be a beautiful misunderstanding. Of course, they have no better choice.
The Celtics and Pacers tied the series at 2:2.
Defense, fierce physical confrontation, both teams showed their tenacity.
Relatively speaking, the Celtics still haven't played so well, and their offense in the regular season is more than that.
The Clippers and Spurs also tied the game. No other situation, Paul and Griffin played well.
Anyway, the Spurs can be played like this when they are first in the Western Conference. They are now struggling with the first in the eighth. They don't know if it is the normal state of the Western Conference or the two teams are too unstable.
In the Grizzlies and Rockets game, the Grizzlies had a good offensive feel and won the match point.
The Grizzlies can play smooth offense, which can explain the current defensive situation of the Rockets.
The current rockets really feel a little useless, and I don’t know if they will choose to rebuild.
The Warriors and Mavericks also drew 2:2~EbookFREE.me~ The two teams are considered to be a match. Who wins or loses mainly depends on which team is in better condition, while Mavericks mainly depends on Nowitzki's condition. .
The game between the Lakers and the Trail Blazers still failed to be swept. In Game 4, the Lakers had some problems with their offense, which allowed the Trail Blazers to get a game back.
However, in terms of the regular season record of the two teams, it is normal not to sweep.
Now the Knicks have to wait for their opponents to appear in the second round, which is relatively easy.
This is the reason why Qi Li likes the playoffs. There is a lot of rest time in between, but it starts at home. He can go home on time every day.
Qi Li is still more optimistic about his opponents in the second round.
To be precise, this season there is no strong team in the league that can match the Knicks, unless Kobe returns to the top and joins James to return to the Finals, but that is impossible. The Knicks have no real opponents, like those in the past. There won't be an opponent like that in the season.
When the Knicks are still strong, the league is in a transitional period between old and new. Qi Li doesn't know when there will be a strong team that can fight the Knicks.
