I’m Really Playing Basketball

In the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Heat and the Bobcats defeated the Magic and Cavaliers respectively to reach the conference semifinals.

Except for the Heat and the Bobcats, the remaining two matchups are still undivided.

The second-best Bucks in the East and the seventh-best Bulls in the East are now 3-2 in the first round. The 68-win Bucks and the less than 50-win Bulls played so fiercely that the Bucks were forced to rely on it. Only after Tianwangshan took a big lead.

It can be seen how unreliable the Eastern Conference record this season is. Let's put it this way. In terms of hard power, the Bulls can get more than 60 wins in any season in NBA history.

Deron Williams, Ben Gordon, Nocioni, Lordon, Big Z...

Let's put it this way, this bull is the powerful version of the bull that hasn't been knocked down by the boss's trading message in history.

Ben Gordon and Lor Deng successfully completed their growth, and because of the existence of Deron, the team's chemistry is also quite good.

Moreover, most of the Bulls players have grown up together, which can be said to be a replica of the Western Spurs, and the cohesion is also very top-notch.

Encountering such a strong, extremely united, and good chemistry team, whether it is the Bucks, the Heat or the Raptors, it is actually not that good to play.

The Raptors, the No. 1 in the East in the playoffs last season, were also quite embarrassed by the Bulls, not to mention the fact that the Bulls are stronger this season.

Therefore, this series is quite exciting, and the contest between Ben Gordon and Ray Allen has become the focus of this series.

The Tianwangshan battle between the two teams was the Bulls who received an offensive rebound pass from Iguodala in the last second by senior Lei Allen and made a three-pointer from the right bottom corner of the Bulls.

And before Ray Allen's three-pointer, Ben Gordon had already killed the Bucks by three-pointer.

With less than 10 seconds left in the game, the Bucks were two points behind in the end. Many people felt that the Bucks were about to finish.

It has to be said that Ben Gordon is indeed quite strong when he grows up smoothly. This round of the series and Ray Allen are quite difficult to distinguish.

After all, it is a player who almost humiliated Wade in the 2006-2007 season in history.

After the Heat won the championship in history, Ben Gordon took the Bulls and slaughtered 42 points in the opening game. After this, the Heat directly secured the defending champion in history.

In the playoffs at the end of the season, Ben Gordon led the Bulls to sweep the defending champion Heat in the first round of the playoffs. In a direct contest with Wade, Ben Gordon averaged 25.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.3. The steals won a small win over Wade, who averaged 23.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.3 steals. The two figures were similar, but Ben Gordon's shooting rate was 2% higher, and his three-point shooting rate was as high as 40%.

By the way, Lor Deng averaged the highest points per game in this series, averaging 26.3 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.8 steals with a shooting percentage of nearly 60%.

In history, if it weren't for the transaction message from the head of science and technology, the Bull would not be said to be the overlord, but would also become a powerful player in the east.

And in this time and space, without the spoiler of the science boss, the Bulls became unusually dazzling after the second youngest changed to the third youngest, and they are now one of the most anticipated groups in the entire NBA.

Another highly anticipated young group in the league, of course, owns Durant, Curry's Bucks, and Marquette's Ice Storm combination is not a joke.

Now the two groups representing the future of the East are fighting each other, and the killing is inextricable. It is really exciting. The fans are very excited, and David Stern is also very excited.

As for the Bucks and Bulls, who scored 3 to 2, the current promotion situation is still not optimistic. From the perspective of the entire series, the Bucks’ tactical system is superior. At the breakout point, the Big Z's offensive Bucks can't defend, Deron's fixed-point singles against Curry, Ben Gordon's nerve knife, and Lor Deng's offense, the Bucks are not easy to defend.

The main reason is that the Bucks' five small is too short, and the Bulls' players are not only tall, but also accurate, which is simply a small one.

Big Z is little Yao Ming, Lor Deng is little Bosh, Deron is little Wade, and Ben Gordon, the super nerve knife, said that he is little Iverson and there is nothing wrong with him.

However, on the whole, although the Bulls look like the Heat in everything, the stability is indeed not as strong as the Heat.

So the Bucks are still dominant. After all, they are already 3 to 2, and their strength is also dominant.

And the other set of confrontations in the East, the third in the East Raptors and the sixth in the East, the Nets, after the first five games of this series, also played 3-2.

However, unlike the Bulls and Bucks' 3-2, the Nets and Raptors' 3-2, it was the Nets who won the Tianwangshan battle.

The third Raptors in the East, after the All-Star, with the rise of Milicic, a strong one in the NBA regular season.

In the final stage of the regular season, when the Bucks and the Heat needed to win, they defeated the two teams strongly one after another.

It stands to reason that although the Nets' five forwards are also strong, they should not be an opponent of the Raptors.

This is common sense, but the series played very unreasonably.

From the first game of the playoffs of this series, the Nets have been frantically targeting Nash on the defensive and offensive ends.

When attacking, the Nets’ five forwards played crazy singles against Nash. Everyone knows that the strongest point of the five forwards is to name the opponents. All five swingers can name the opponent’s defensive weaknesses. Nash can’t even hide, and the Nets name Nash. Still specifically looking for Nash's body to fight.

When defensive, the Nets’ five forwards are fast enough to rotate, Joe Johnson, Carter, Richard Jefferson, Marion, Martin, and their defenses are all on the line, each with long legs. With long hands, everyone can press Nash.

As long as Nash dribbles the ball through the half, the Nets' strikers will take turns to force Nash to confront Nash.

Nash is not afraid of a tall striker, but he can't stand to be madly targeted when he is defensive, and he is also madly slapped when he is attacking.

Eating elbows on defense and slaps on offense. Who can stand it?

Of course, it is an exaggeration to say that eating elbows and slaps, but the intensity of the Nets this series is indeed very strong, almost reaching the level of the Nets and Bobcats in the 2007 playoffs.

In the 2007 series, almost every offense and defense of the Nets and Bobcats was at the meat level.

The reason why the Bobcats won the Nets in the first game was because of Jordan's stealing of chickens without regard to military ethics, which allowed the Bobcats to gain home court advantage and win by relying on home court advantage.

In this round of the series, the Nets fell behind 0 to 2 as soon as they came up, but returned to the home court and took out a higher defensive strength of the Nets to pull two games in a row. By the way, in the G4 game, Nash was too expensive because of these games. Da, fell out of the field in a confrontation with Marion, his face was bloodied.

This round is not Marion dirty, this is the game with 2 minutes left at the end, the consumption of both teams is very large, the players on the two teams are a little uncontrollable, and their movements are a little deformed.

G4 Nash's accidental nose injury obviously affected the performance of G5 Nash.

In G4, Nash scored 11 of 18 and scored 31 points away. The state was bursting.

But back to the home game in G5, only 7 of 17, this shooting percentage is okay for others, but a little lower for Nash.

Lost the G5 home game and lost the home court advantage. The Nets can continue to increase their strength in their home court in G6. Coupled with the continued doubts about the future state of Nash's broken nose, the Raptors are almost in desperation. .

Many people say that now the Raptors can only rely on their new superstar Milicic to share the pressure for Nash.

In the previous five games, Milicic averaged 9 of 18, 24 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks per game. This data is good, but not enough.

Especially when outside players such as Rashard Lewis, Josh Smith and Lagabell face the Nets’ five forwards, the performance of Milicic and O’Neal will become more important, especially already. Milicic, who has become the main attack and tactical core of the Raptors, will become even more important.

However, as a young man under the age of 24, facing an epic team like the Nets, he needs to play a rescue-level game. This really puts a lot of pressure on him.

If Milicic does this, then there is no doubt that he will once again rise from a superstar to become a super giant.

He, the successor to Garnett and Nowitzki, will live up to his name.

In the current situation with the Raptors, Nash is obviously unable to organize everything. Milicic not only has to score, he also needs to assume the responsibility of the team's first organization.

In other words, if Milicic wants to save the Raptors, he must play the level of Garnett + Nowitzki, not to mention the peak Garnett + Nowitzki, 90% of Garnett + Nowitzki Ski this is the minimum.

Therefore, those experts said that Milicic must evolve into a super giant again to lead the Raptors to complete the reversal of the Nets. This is true.

Ninety percent of the pinnacle Garnett + Nowitzki is of course super giant.

So these two series are interesting. The Bucks' Ray Allen has changed his fate.

The Raptors' Milicic needs to stand up for the first time after Nash is injured to save the team and change their lives.

The two teams ranked No. 2 and No. 3, facing the No. 7 and No. 6 teams, all need their stars to change their names before they can advance. From this we can also see how terrifying the East is now.

Let's put it this way, judging from the current situation in the East, perhaps the three weakest teams are the Cavaliers, the Magic and the Bobcats.

This is definitely not a joke.

On May 2, 2009, the G6 battle between the East's Second Bucks and the East's Seventh Bulls took the lead.

Both advocating offense, and neither can prevent the opponent’s offensive team. In this game, they magically played a very tight offensive game.

It stands to reason that this game should be an offensive battle like the first 5 games of the two teams.

However, the two teams came up in the first quarter, one hitting 31% and one hitting 36%. In the first quarter, the two teams even scored only 17 and 18 points, not 20.

It can be seen how nervous the two teams were at the beginning of the game.

Of course, after the start of the second quarter, the tension of the two teams eased slightly, so the offense of the two teams in the second and third quarters returned to normal levels. The two teams played 55 to 54 in these two quarters, and the Bulls won. To 1 point, counting the Bucks won by 1 point in the first quarter.

After the two teams played three quarters, they magically tied at 72.

Then, Chen Xiao once again saw the extreme tension of the players of the two teams in the fourth quarter.

The Bucks and Chen Xiao are old rivals. When the Bucks swept everything with the five minors, they were unstable at critical moments.

But this time, the Bucks are really different from before. The two teams played 99-99 with 2 minutes left in the game. Both teams played 10 minutes and only scored 17 points, and the last 2 minutes. , The Bulls made 0 of 4, 0 of 2 three-pointers, and missed a point.

But here on the Bucks...

Although Ray Allen was 0 in 1 and Curry was also 0 in 1, Durant was 1 in 1. At the last moment, the most critical moment of the two teams, when the two teams struck 5 times in succession, Durant's mid-range Hit.

Then the Bulls still missed and fouled Durant. Durant made two free throws and the Bulls lost the game.

103 to 99!

In this game, with the two teams playing so tightly, Durant made 12 of 24 shots, 4 of 8 three-pointers, 7 of 7 free throws, and stably scored 35 points in the game.

So at the end of the game, Chris Webber, the commentator of the game, exclaimed: "This incredible perimeter scoring stability, I have only seen Jordan and GOD Chen!"

4 to 2, the Bucks thrilled to eliminate the Bulls. When the Bucks successfully advanced, Ray Allen, who had always been cold, was excited and roared into the sky, while Curry and Durant were young The person paid tribute to Chen Xiao, screaming to the sky, tearing his clothes.

"This is the East. In the East, winning a series is too difficult, too difficult..."

This hell-like east is really suffocating.

Jordan next to Chen Xiao picked up the cigar and let out a long sigh.

The more hell, the greater the pressure on everyone, and the greater the pressure on everyone, the more hell.

On May 2nd, after the Bucks successfully advanced, everyone's attention was placed on the May 3rd game between the Raptors and the Nets.

With Nash's injury, the Raptors now need a hero, and Milicic, the hottest young insider recently, will he become a hero?

This kind of plot of desperate desire for the savior is definitely the favorite plot of Americans. After the rendering of major media in the United States, for a while, everyone focused on Milicic.

"Such pressure, if you can't get through, your career will be ruined. If it passes, then the flying dragon is in the sky!"

After Jordan finished speaking, Chen Xiao nodded slightly.

On May 5, 2009, the Raptors and the Nets played in a tiebreaker. The entire game faced the Nets' crazy rotation and flanking. In the last game, 15 of 30, the audience scored 40 points and led the team to victory. Odd, this game was 6 of 18 and only scored 20 points.

But in addition to these 20 points, Milicic also got 18 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 5 blocks in the game!

Under the desperate situation of the Suns falling behind 2 to 3, under the leadership of Milicic, they won 111 to 106 in one game and 104 to 100 in one game, miraculously completing the reversal!

G6 Nowitzki!

G7 Garnett!

Nowitzki and Garnett didn't completely fit in a game in the end.

But when the Raptors needed Nowitzki the most, Nowitzki appeared.

When the Raptors needed Garnett the most, ~www.NovelMTL.com~ Garnett appeared.

Nowitzki and Garnett did not fit in a game.

But Milicic learned how to use the energy of Garnett and Nowitzki in his body under such tremendous pressure.

In these two games, Milicic let everyone see him, and the shadows of Garnett and Nowitzki merged into one.

Therefore, the first time the G7 game ended, the Raptors head coach Sr. Nelson excitedly rushed into the field and hugged the equally excited Milicic.

Seeing this scene, Barkley couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Following Wonder Boy, Kobe, Ray Allen, Yao Ming, Wade, James, the active NBA has given birth to another ‘mythical beast’!"

It's not an ordinary super giant, it's a divine beast!

A super giant with a more or less invincible halo is called a divine beast.

This is Barkley's original creation.
