I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 884: End of the first round and the value of the 1st round in the East!

Popular recommendation:

After the start of this year's NBA playoffs, the Wizards and 76ers have become the focus of everyone's attention. In the series between the Wizards and the 76ers, Embiid is averaging 14.5 free throws per game, while James Harden is more That's 15.5 free throws per game.

The two of them made such terrifying free throws, it looked crazy, and the two had to make 30 free throws together in each game.

This is really scary, but in fact, the two are still incomparable to James who played the Magic in the 2009 playoffs in history.

Historically, in the Eastern Conference finals in which James played the Magic, he averaged 15.7 free throws per game, while the opposing Howard averaged 5.3 fouls per game.

Howard back then was really terrifying defensively. He almost danced with shackles and just beat James.

Not to mention that after this series, James's mentality collapsed directly. If he does not leave the Cavaliers and form a giant group, he himself does not have the confidence to defeat such a terrifying Howard.

Therefore, many people say that in this series, Howard broke James' confidence and mentality.

And the contest between the Wizards and the Seven or Sixers is definitely due to the fact that both sides have shattered the other's mentality.

Controversial decisions are made in every game, and fans on both sides of each game are dissatisfied.

Obviously, in this series, the NBA referee showed all his conscience and called the foul, but the fans on both sides were not satisfied with such a fair referee.

Obviously, for the fans, what they want is not fair. What they want is to take advantage of themselves. If they don't pick up money when they go out, they will suffer.

Only when you take advantage of it and have fun, will you not come out aggressively and accuse others.

Therefore, the playoff matchup between the Wizards and the 76ers was really drool-worthy, full of controversy, and a melting pot of human evil emotions.

It was in such a series full of negative emotions that James Harden led the Wizards to end the 76ers again.

This time the two sides also played 4 to 3, and even Embiid had a chance to kill the Wizards in the end.

At the last moment, the Wizards trailed by 1 point, Embiid had a lore chance, and got a chance to play James Harden in a dislocation single.

With such an opportunity for a center to single against a guard, Embiid should say that he should seize the opportunity.

As long as he is confident enough in his offensive skills, he will have a good hit rate even if he pulls on James Harden's head.

But in the end, Embiid chose to make a foul. Yes, he changed the frontal singles to the post-up singles. Then, a big center was watched helplessly by a small guard who couldn't hold a big butt, and then a very humiliating choice to go to James Harden committed a foul by diving on his body, which directly stunned everyone on the scene, even Chen Xiao in front of the TV was blinded.

He has never seen a big center playing a guard at a critical moment, playing so softly.

At the end of the game, making such an attacking choice can really make people laugh.

The Wizards fans at the scene just burst out laughing.

Of course, on the other hand, in this series, Embiid and James Harden completed a direct foul-making duel, and James Harden won in the end.

After beating the 76ers this time, James Harden and the Wizards have blocked the 76ers and Embiid in the first round for N consecutive seasons.

It can only be said that the feud between the two teams will probably deepen after this series.

In the first round of the playoffs, the focus of public opinion was on the odd matchup between the Wizards and the 76ers. Chen Xiao chased every game in this series.

It can only be said that the first round between the Warriors and the Clippers was too easy.

The current Clippers are all supported by the small guns. The team has nothing to pursue. The Clippers' biggest pursuit now is to accompany the small guns to brush the data. The small guns are now infinitely close to 30,000 points and 10,000 assists. milestone.

As long as Xiaopao can complete this milestone, his career can be considered perfect.

As for the championship, the Clippers and Xiaopao have indeed given up.

In this case, as long as you enter the playoffs, you will complete the task. As for how to play in the playoffs, this is not the current goal of the Clippers and Xiaopao.

Therefore, in this series between the Warriors and the Clippers, the Warriors are basically unchallenged.

In the four games of this series, the Warriors used a different starter in each game. Except for Chen Xiao, who started each game, the Warriors made a total of 11 starters in these four games.

In other words, the Warriors basically started all the players who can play in the playoffs.

Facing a team with no fighting spirit like the Clippers, if you don't brush your state and confidence here, there will be no chance.

It can only be said that in this year’s playoffs, the Warriors are indeed lucky to meet the Clippers in the first round.

Let's just say, with the exception of the Warriors, the other top three seeds in the West had some problems in the first round.

For example, the second and first match between the Lakers and the Suns was originally thought to be a big gift for the Suns.

But in this series, the Clippers played very well as a whole, the team is very team, the coach is very good, and their star Devin Booker, now at critical moments, can really score.

After all, he is one of the youngest players to average 28 points per game in the NBA Finals.

After leaving the Warriors and joining the Suns, Devin Booker is now playing more and more of a leader.

Although because of his physical talent, he now gets the same treatment as Nash, experts are not optimistic, and celebrities are not optimistic, but it is really uncomfortable for opponents to meet him.

In this playoffs, Devin Booker played a 50+ game and a 40+ game. Although the team lost 2-4 in the end, Devin Booker still surprised the Lakers.

The third-placed Mavericks in the West faced the sixth-placed Spurs, which made it even more anxious.

In this series, Jimmy Butler averaged 27+5+5 data per game, and even more terrifying is Doncic, who averaged 34 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists per game in this series.

As a young player who is just about to sign a rookie contract, it is really crazy to play such terrifying numbers in a playoff series.

What's even more crazy is that even if Doncic played such terrifying data, the Mavericks still only won 4-3 in the end.

It can only be said that the ball-handling cores like Doncic, James Harden, and Westbrook have really terrifying statistics, but in the same way, their style of play is doomed, and any teammates are on them, They can only be functional players.

A-level players may be B-level by their side.

A-level teams, under their leadership, may be B-levels.

But in the same way, C-level players, by their side, can also be brought to a B grade by them.

C-level teams, under their leadership, can also enter the playoffs every year, maintaining a minimum lower limit.

Here are the pros and cons of this type of player.

It stands to reason that the Mavericks Doncic performed so well, the Spurs should not have so many opportunities.

Of course, in the end, the Mavericks still managed to pass the Spurs without a hitch.

The Thunder in the fourth place in the Western Conference and the Jazz in the fifth place in the Western Conference are slightly less intense than the Mavericks and Spurs, who are third and sixth.

Of course, only slightly less intense.

The game was still very intense.

Even the leading players of the two teams, Gobert and Griffin, almost got into a fight on the court.

And the duel between Trae Young and Mitchell is also full of gunpowder.

Of course, in the end, the Jazz swept the Thunder led by Trae Young 4-0 with more experience in the playoffs.

Well, 4-0 may seem like an exaggeration to say that it is intense, but in fact, even four games are really intense, because the Jazz won a total of 10 points in these four games.

No Warriors have won more games than the Clippers.

The Warriors, against the Clippers, won the fewest game by 18 points.

In the end, the first round of the Western Conference playoffs was over, and the Warriors, Lakers, Mavericks, and Jazz successfully entered the second round.

At the same time, in the East, the much-anticipated showdown between the Wizards and the 76ers will not be discussed.

The 37-year-old veteran Milicic played another game in this series between the Bucks, the No. 1 Eastern Conference, and the Meng Long team, No. 8 in the Eastern Conference. Let’s just say, Meng Long has been playing for many years. It's eighth in the East.

Every time the Menglong team is eighth, the Bucks will use the Menglong team to exercise their strategy against big centers.

For the Bucks, it is also extremely lucky to meet an opponent like Meng Long before playing against the Cavaliers and Heat.

It is impossible for the Menglong team to beat the Bucks now. There is no threat, and they can simulate opponents. There is no better opponent than this.

Therefore, every time Milicic is considered old in the regular season, in the playoffs, he can always be recognized by the whole league with his excellent performance, so that he is still considered to be the strongest in the league. One of the insiders, this one is also very interesting.

For the Bucks, the playoffs with Menglong are important to them.

In the same way, for Milicic, the playoffs with the Bucks are also very important to him. His status in the league is so high now because he can explode every time he encounters the Bucks.

Although he has not won a championship, no one will object that Milicic is indeed a combination of 90% Dirk Nowitzki and 90% Garnett.

In this round of the series, the Bucks finally defeated the Menglong team 4-2.

The Bucks first won two games at home, then lost one away game and another at home, and finally defeated Menglong on the road to advance to the next round.

This kind of victory and defeat relationship diagram is exactly the same as the previous Menglong fight.

Faced with such a situation, many NBA experts and media fans are complaining that the most-watched matchup in the first round of the playoffs is the matchup between the 76ers and the Wizards, and the Bucks are also responsible.

Can't you take a little snack?

You look at the Warriors on the other side, even if they are playing against a team that is very important to you, they don't play 4-2 like you do.

The whole is the same as the Jordan Bulls in history.

It can only be said that most of the teams who make such a choice like to seek a score of 4 to 2, and they have more time to exercise and are not that dangerous.

However, if you pluck a lot of wool on a team, it will always make people think that it is not a bit of a performance.

It's just obvious that for the Bucks, who are determined to win the championship again, they don't care about the complaints of these experts and celebrities.

In addition to these two duels in the Eastern Conference, the remaining two duels, the Heat in second, faced the Bulls in seventh, won very easily, and swept 4-0 to advance.

The Heat and the Bucks are different. The Bucks' Big Three are not considered glass, and there is no hidden danger of injury.

But the Heat are different. In addition to Gao Bo, Rose, LaVine, and DeRozan all have potential injuries. In this case, if you can advance as soon as possible, you can advance as soon as possible. Don't have any injuries, and you can get through as soon as possible. Don't be slow.

However, in this series, because Doncic is so amazing, many people are watching Gao Bo's performance. Facing such pressure, Gao Bo was not affected. He did not choose to be a special one on the team. To brush the data, but conscientiously score, pick-and-roll, screen, catch and shoot, organization, it can be said that the data is not so explosive, but each game is 20+10+5 such data.

Therefore, Heat coach Spoelstra said when he advanced to the second round that the luckiest thing in his life is to be able to coach players like Gao Bo.

If it were an American player, facing such public opinion, it would definitely be a blow.

With such a big card, the team can still be put first. It can only be said that the good qualities brought by Yao Ming, Chen Xiao, and the UAE have been passed down in the second generation of players.

This will benefit Chinese players in the future, because when NBA teams mention Chinese players in the future, they will say they are team players.

In a team sport, who doesn't want team players?

Therefore, although Gao Bo did not match Doncic's data in this year's playoffs, not many people felt that Gao Bo lost.

Another group in the first round of the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference and the Knicks in the sixth in the Eastern Conference, this series is actually very interesting.

What a fun way, the Cavaliers let Oden play the first two games, just rested in this series, yes, let Oden recharge and prepare for the next round of the Heat.

The rest of the game was James' single-core team against Westbrook's single-core team led by the Knicks.

In the end, James used the way of Westbrook to lead the Cavaliers and the Knicks to a 2-2 fight. In the end, the Cavaliers eliminated the Knicks 4-2.

In this series, both James and Westbrook averaged 30+ triple-doubles.

However, although they are all triple-doubles, there is still a difference between everyone. James' shooting percentage is 48%, while Westbrook's shooting percentage is only 39%.

Let's just put it this way, if the Cavaliers were still the Cavaliers of the previous championship team, the Knicks brought by Westbrook would definitely be swept away.

Although they are all single-core, without Oden James' Cavaliers, other players are actually not as good as teammates around Westbrook.

In short, in the end, the Cavaliers eliminated the Knicks 4-2, and the four second-round teams in the East were all released.

The Bucks beat the Wizards and the Heat beat the Cavaliers.

After watching this matchup, both the Heat and the Cavaliers shook their heads.

"The value of No. 1 in the East is really great!"
