Chapter 667: Shocking finals matchup

In this year's playoffs, Nowitzki's state is very miraculous. This miraculous is not only because his strength and state are indeed at the top level, but also a large part of the reason is that the driver has always been despised in the NBA. and underrated stars.

Let's just put it this way, before the Driver's playoff breakout this season, he was the NBA's most despised superstar, not even one of them.

Under such circumstances, other teams have little preparation for the driver at all. The preparation mentioned here is not only tactical, but also personnel. For example, the Mavericks and the Spurs are not prepared to deal with the driver's defensive players. Or they're preparing players that are the opposite, like a bunch of small, powerful defenders.

Such a defender is indeed very effective for the previous driver, but now, you can't stop the driver's golden rooster independence, and then you want to defend. If you are not tall enough, you can only jump. If you jump, the driver is a foul.

That's why the Drivers and Spurs series averaged 12-plus free throws.

This is also the reason why a group of players that Bobo prepared for the driver was beaten by the driver and finally had to get on Duncan.

But when you get Duncan, the basket is gone, and Randolph and Chandler are going crazy.

Let's just put it this way, in this playoffs, whether it's the Clippers playing the Mavericks or the Spurs playing the Mavericks, they all suffer from lack of preparation, or the direction of preparation is completely wrong. In such a battle, you say, how do you play? ?

In the final analysis, it is because most people in the NBA have never thought that drivers can perform at such a level.

Even Chen Xiao, the driver's good friend, never thought that the driver would play so brutally in the playoffs this season.

Therefore, the current driver is definitely a headache for teams in the entire league that are still in the playoffs.

With the style of play and strength shown by the driver in the playoffs, the rest of the teams have no way to find a suitable defensive player in a short time, so when everyone encounters the Mavericks, it is the situation when the Spurs played against the Mavericks. , you don't know how to adjust, you are born at a tactical disadvantage.

According to Xiaopao, after the series against the Mavericks, DeAndre Jordan went crazy. If you don’t jump, he swipes in and you jump, but you can’t predict his shots, so he can only make them. foul.

Therefore, the thinking of many people now is that they hope that the hot state of the driver will end soon. As long as he does not swipe in, he will not be able to make fouls, and he will not be invincible.

In the face of this good friend who scared the whole league, Chen Xiao certainly looked forward to meeting him.

However, before that, the driver needs to pass the Lakers, and Chen Xiao needs to pass the Bucks.

Before the Eastern and Western Division Finals of the NBA, regarding the predictions of the two groups, the Bobcats and the Bucks still have the upper hand. Most teams believe that the Bobcats should be able to solve the Bucks within six games. As for the Lakers and Mavericks, it's a little harder to say.

Because Nowitzki is in such a good state in the playoffs this year, those pundits don't know how long Nowitzki can maintain such a state.

However, although the Mavericks are no longer so despised, most experts and celebrities are still more optimistic about the Lakers.

Domestic reporters, Yang Huahua's remarks, who have been madly slapped in the face by the driver and Mavericks recently, are very representative.

"This is the most unsuspenseful Western Conference final since 2003. The Lakers can solve the battle within six games. I emphasize again, I don't want to black the Mavericks. Nowitzki is in really good shape now, but it was a flash in the pan. I don’t know what the next Mavericks will be, but the Lakers goblin has been out for more than ten years, and that goblin is really not something that Nowitzki and the Mavericks can win.”

Well, what Huahua means is that as long as the driver is not in shape, the Mavericks and the Lakers are the most disparate in the Western Conference finals in recent years. Mavericks are really not that strong without a driver.

However, what if the driver can still maintain the state?

This is not something Huahua can say, so his prediction is that it is impossible for the driver to continue to maintain this state, so the state of the driver is short-lived.

Therefore, in this year's division finals, if those metaphysical factors are excluded, the Bobcats and the Lakers are still the two most promising teams.

On May 16, 2011, the Eastern Conference finals between the Bobcats and the Bucks started at Charlotte Bobcats Arena.

Before the game started, audiences across the United States were paying attention to Chen Xiao, Durant and Curry and other Marquette brothers.

Everyone says that Chen Xiao is the representative of Marquette University in the NBA, and the Bobcats have always been the first home team of Marquette University fans in the NBA.

However, in terms of the number of Marquette players, the Bobcats are actually Chen Xiao and Jimmy Butler.

The Bucks are definitely the home base of Marquette University. There are four players from Marquette University, including Durant, Curry, Dina, and Braxon.

This is definitely very rare in the NBA.

Moreover, these four are still very important players for the Bucks.

One side is the most representative player of Marquette University, and the other is the team with the largest number of players of Marquette University, and it is a Milwaukee team, so, before the game, this series is called Civil War for Marquette University.

At the same time, it is also known as the civil war of the "Golden Eagle Age".

Yes, with Chen Xiao and Wade winning seven NBA championships together in the past eight years, the current NBA is called the Golden Eagle Era.

There are so many teams that can represent the "Golden Eagles" in the NBA. The Bobcats led by Chen Xiao, the Heat led by Wade, the Bucks led by Durant and Curry, and the Spurs led by Ron Howard.

Although the Heat fell, the Bucks who came up can still be called the Golden Eagles.

And so far, the biggest two championship favorites, happens to be the Bobcats and Bucks, also happen to be the Golden Eagles.

Therefore, before the division finals started, many Marquette University fans said on the Internet that whether the Bobcats or the Bucks win the championship this year, it belongs to the continuation of the Golden Eagle era.

There's really nothing wrong with that.

So, for Marquette fans, it doesn't matter which of these two teams advance to the Finals.

Chen Xiao won the championship, that is Chen Xiao's fifth championship, the first consecutive championship.

And the Bucks won the championship, that is the first NBA championship for Durant, Curry Braxon and Diena, which is also memorable.

It's a beautiful fantasy like a fairy tale.

This is the romance of fans. The romance of fans always likes to divide the fruit, MVP, and FMVP before the results come out.

But for those professionals, the playoffs, especially the ones that decide the championship, are not romantic, on the contrary, they are very cruel.

As TNT's live commentator Barkley explained before the game: "We can't find any reason why the Bucks can beat the Bobcats in a series, maybe, face Cleveland in the Eastern Conference semifinals. The Cavaliers are the toughest opponent the Bobcats have faced in the playoffs this time around."

"I know that KD and Curry both want to win the championship this year, beating Chen Xiao, Shaq, Wade, Kobe, the four players who have won 10 championships in the past 11 years, to reach the top of the NBA.

If they do, then they will win one of the most valuable championships in NBA history, and they will become legends. "

Well, before the Bobcats and Bucks series began, there was such a statement, that is, if the Bucks win the championship in the end, they will follow the path of Wade, Yao Ming, O'Neal, Kidd, Chen Xiao, Kobe Bryant. To win the championship, then the Bucks brought by Durant and Curry defeated several superstars who have won 10 championships in the past 11 years and won the championship in this playoff. A bunch of all-time superstars with 10 championships died.

In 2000-02, Kobe Bryant and O'Neal won three consecutive championships.

From 2003 to 10, Chen Xiao and Wade, Yao Ming won 7 championships.

This is to play all the championship super giants of the past 11 years, and it is only one Duncan.

If you really want to achieve such a path champion, it is definitely an existence that can be crowned as a god.

Therefore, many people are looking forward to such a championship.

But Barkley's words before the game obviously poured cold water on such a topic of public opinion hype.

"Wonder Boy won the championship at the age of 20. Wonder Boy won four NBA championships when he was 28 years old. His achievements in the NBA are too great, legendary, and too impressive. So many people think that winning a championship in the NBA is a very simple thing, but, in fact, winning a championship in the NBA is never easy. I have never been able to even get close to this trophy in my entire career, and even Jordan, he He won his first championship at the age of 28."

"Now Durant and Curry are only 22 years old, or 23 years old, they are very strong, their future will be very bright, maybe in five years, they will be like Jordan, Chen Xiao, Wade and Yao Ming, Kobe Bryant O'Neal dominated the league and dominated an era, but right now, the NBA is still the era of Wonder Boys."

As far as Barkley said before the game, if the Bobcats' opponent is not the Bucks, and if the Bucks' fans are not 90% fans of Chen Xiao and Marquette University, I am afraid that Barkley will be sued to death.

Of course, it was precisely because Chen Xiao and the Bobcats were against the Bucks that Barkley dared to say so.

The meaning of these words combined is, don't listen to those guys to scare the hype, their hype can make money, if you listen to their hype, you will suppress the house and buy the bucks, and you will go bankrupt.

Of course, what Barkley said is very similar to what Yang Huahua said in China. If the prediction is wrong, it will definitely be slapped in the face.

So many people are looking forward to the outcome of this game.

In G1 of the Bobcats and the Bucks, the Bobcats changed to a new starting lineup. Shaquille O'Neal, who played well against the Cavaliers in the last series, was taken down from the starting position.

Stoudemire, Chen Xiao, Granger, Shane, Rose, this is the starting lineup of the Bobcats in this game. Stoudemire can play a center, especially against the Bucks without a big center. Stoudemire plays a center. The effect is excellent.

This is also the reason why Stoudemire is much stronger than Aldridge. Aldridge is not suitable to play as a center even in the face of the Bucks' small five lineup.

In the regular season, the Bobcats and Bucks record is 3 to 1, Stoudemire played center when facing the Bucks, the effect is excellent.

And that's why Barkley believes in the Bobcats so much.

Because just like the Heat can't match the Bucks right now.

Now the Bucks, in fact, also can not match the Bobcats.

Without Stoudemire, this series is really hard to say.

But the problem is, this season, the Bobcats have Stoudemire!

Stoudemire is the super nemesis of the five minors.

And Chen Xiao is also the super nemesis of the five children.

Even Xiao Si is more serious than Chen Xiao.

After all, Marion and Iguodala can still block Chen Xiao.

On Stoudemire's side, the Bucks really have no one to stop them.

Facing the threat point of Stoudemire, the Bucks really have no way to change.

After the introduction of Marion and Nene in the summer, the lineup is really saturated and cannot be changed.

More importantly, maybe one-on-one, Braxon, Nene can still guard Stoudemire, but Stoudemire next to Chen Xiao, that really won't work.

The inside combination of Chen Xiao and Xiao Si played five small, which is definitely a combination of qualitative changes.

Therefore, even if you know that it is difficult to beat the Bobcats in your lineup, in G1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bucks still have no changes, and the starting lineup is still Brackson, Iguodala, Durant, Ray Allen and Curry.

Really can't change it.

Therefore, as soon as the first quarter of this game came up, the Bobcats beat the Bucks 31 to 19, and the Heat drove the offense crazy. The Bucks, who averaged 124 points per game, beat the Bobcats and scored 19 points in the first quarter. .

Ray Allen and Curry, who had gone crazy against the Heat, played very hard when they came up.

Rose's chasing defense against Curry is excellent. Curry's tactic of covering pick-and-rolls and playing big men is a good match for the Heat, Yao Ming or O'Neal, but Chen Xiao, who came out late, is a bit difficult for Curry to play.

For Curry, with Ross chasing behind and Chen Xiao blocking in front, this offensive environment is too miserable.

At the same time, Granger's off-ball defense ability is not comparable to Anthony's. Anthony can't catch up with Ray Allen, but Granger can. Young run fast.

Therefore, in the entire first quarter, the Bucks with such a strong attack, and finally the player who can score points steadily is Durant.

Durant's stand-up singles are indeed strong. For the first time in history, Xiaodu has entered the finals. Facing such a strong striker combination as Shane, James and Bosh, he can also score 30+, and it is the first efficiency in history. The average per game is 30+, and there is still a space monster like Westbrook around.

One-on-one, Xiao Du is indeed strong.

But if the team system fails, unless Xiao Du's stand-up singles are superb, it will be difficult to reverse the situation.

At least this game Xiao Du is not super god.

In the end, the Bucks lost to the Bobcats by 21 points, 92 to 113.

In this game, 14 of 21, 34 points, plus 5 turnovers, although Battier and Boss Kee's defense against Xiaodu was not successful in this game, the effect was very good. He cut Xiaodu many times, scaring Xiaodu I didn't dare to break through with the ball easily, and in the end I couldn't hold a lot of the ball and make a lot of shots. Therefore, even if Xiao Du was in good shape in this game, because there were not so many offensive opportunities, he did not change the situation by explosion.

In addition, Ray Allen scored 18 points in 7 of 17 games.

And Xiaoku, 7 of 20, 3 of 8 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, scored 20 points and 6 assists.

Apart from these three, the Bucks have no player in double figures.

In the last series, facing the invincible Bucks of the Heat's offense, the offense of this game exploded directly, a real explosion.

Wade and Yao Ming on the sidelines could clearly see that the Bucks' offensive system was blown up by the Bobcats.

"This series, the Bucks may not really be able to play."

Wade let out a sigh.

If they were standing in front of the Bobcats now, maybe the game situation on the court would be completely different.

By the way, in this game, Chen Xiao scored 12 of 24 and scored 32 points and 14 rebounds.

And Stoudemire, this game is 7 of 15, 8 of 9 free throws, got 22 points and 9 rebounds.

The two of them didn't actually play that fiercely in this game, but they still dominated the basket. Chen Xiao had 8 offensive rebounds in this game, while Stoudemire had 5 offensive rebounds.

The whole game, the Bobcats 19 offensive boards, while the Bucks audience only 27 rebounds.

Your offensive system collapsed, and your defense failed to grab rebounds. How do you say this game?

To be honest, if Chen Xiao and Xiao Si were aggressive in this game, they would have to be separated by 30 points in the three quarters of this game.

After all, at halftime, the Bobcats actually won by 23 points, 65-42.

Only in the second half, the Bobcats closed it.

Therefore, after the G1 between the two teams was over, those who expected the Bucks to complete the most golden championship in NBA history in this playoffs were all silent. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Like Barkley said, the Bucks really don't have to play against the Bobcats.

Because now the Bucks, from player to team, are actually not ready to win the championship.

This is no joke.

It can be seen from G1 of the Eastern Conference Finals that the Bucks are not ready to play against the Bobcats in the playoffs.

How did the Heat prepare for the lynx?

The Bucks have no such preparation at all.

In other words, the Bucks' goal this season is actually to grow, not to win the championship, although the Bucks definitely want to win the championship.

It's just that they really didn't expect that the growth of Durant and Curry this season would be so huge.

In the end, they actually beat the Heat and pushed them to the front of the Bobcats.

So, you can see in the game, the Bucks' players are playing hard, but because of the flaws in the system against the Bobcats, they are also playing helpless.

In the end, the Bucks lost the series 1-4. The only game the Bucks won was Game 3. Durant was 15 of 28 and scored 40 points, while Xiaoku was 12 of 20 and scored 29. Ray Allen scored 17 points on 7 of 11 points. Relying on the god-like performance of the three in this game, they defeated the Heat 128-120.

However, this is the only game where the three of them have performed well in this series.

At this point, the Eastern Conference finals ended, and the Bobcats successfully entered the finals.

On the other side, the Mavericks used the same 4-1 analogy, one day late for the Bobcats, to reach the finals.

The Bobcats beat the Mavericks in the 2011 NBA Finals.

When this match came out, not only Yang Huahua's swollen mother couldn't recognize it, in fact, most people were dumbfounded.
