Chapter 614: Watching the Fire from the Other Shore

In the second half of the division, the Spurs, who are third in the West, play the Mavericks who are sixth in the West. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The bull-horse battle was originally the focus of the battle, but Ginobili's recurrence of old injuries and finally announced that he would miss the playoffs in the 08-09 season undoubtedly cast a shadow on the Spurs, but this was not the only reason why the Spurs lost to the Mavericks 105-97.

Judging from the technical statistics after the game, Duncan made 13 of 24 shots and 1 of 1 free throws, scoring 27+9+2 data, while Nowitzki made 7 of 15 shots and 5 of 5 free throws, scoring 19 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 assists.

Judging from the data of the main general, the Spurs still have an advantage over the Mavericks.

However, the heart-piercing data comparison came.

For Spurs:

Matt Bonner, the starting center and was ridiculed by fans as the White Mamba, played a total of 18 minutes in the game, with only one statistic, 1 rebound, and all other stats were 0.

Drew Gooden, who was traded late in the postseason, made 3-of-9 shooting and 2-of-2 free throws to finish with eight points and four rebounds.

Another bench interior lineman, Kurt Thomas, was equally desperate, scoring 0 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in 18 minutes of playing time.

The impact of Oberto's absence due to injury can be explained by just looking at the stats.

But that's not enough to make Spurs fans miserable, because without contrast, there is no harm.

On the Mavericks' side:

The starting center is Eric Dampier, who calls himself the "second center in the league".

He played a total of 39 minutes, but he didn't have a bad chance, shooting 5 of 6 from the field, efficiently cutting down 10 points and 11 boards with a double-double, and completed the task well.

What's even more lethal is that Brandon Buss, who played 18 minutes off the bench in this game, performed extremely bravely, scoring 14 points and 4 rebounds on 7-of-9 shooting in 18 minutes of playing time.

It can be said that in this game, Nowitzki, as the core of the Mavericks, did not exert any strength at all.

The template of the German driver tonight is not the Silver Horn King, he has also become the Wukong in "Journey to the West", the standard "I haven't contributed yet, you will fall!"

After the game, Popovich criticized the team's defense, and he believed that the Spurs needed a high degree of unity and could not give opponents too many opportunities to score inside.

Rick I'm more handsome than Jim Carrey Carlisle calmly explained the wins and losses of the Mavericks and Spurs in this game, hoping that the players can continue to work hard to win this series.

Black 6 is not a big upset, but it is enough to boast about a strong performance like Spurs.

In fact, the problem exposed by the Spurs in this game is not only the lack of interior defense.

Bruce Bowen is getting older, and the Spurs' outside defense is also going badly, otherwise it wouldn't have allowed Josh Howard to shoot 9-of-18 from the field and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line in a measly 29 minutes of playing time to finish with 25 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists.

How can a Spurs with a broken defense stop the Dallas Mavericks, who are both offensive and defensive.

Kidd, who had 4 points and 8 assists in the game, certainly interpreted the "base no offense" to the extreme, but he didn't attack himself, and he didn't make Parker feel better.

The Gallic sports car seemed to have 24 points, 8 assists, and 4 rebounds, but the 40% shooting rate is very indicative of Kidd's defensive skills.

Coupled with the excellent performance of JJ Barria, Jason Terry and other substitute players on the Mavericks bench, it is reasonable for the Mavericks to beat the Spurs on the road.

It's a matchup that will affect the course of this series, as the Spurs have lost more than just Ginobili in this year's playoffs, they have once again come to a crossroads, or rebuild, or continue the "new three years, old three years, and patches and patches" days.

Judging from this game, it will be difficult for Popovich to save the current Spurs even if he incarnates Zhuge Vic, this odd-numbered year, does not belong to the San Antonios.

And from the analysis of the two playoff games in the West in this round, at least two of the three major illusions in Texas are true - the Rockets are really strong, and the Spurs are really old.

If it's understandable what happened in the Bull and Horse Wars, in the second half of the East, the result of the battle between the Cavaliers and the Bulls was a complete headline.

The Bulls, who are ranked 7th in the East, shocked the entire league by narrowly beating the Cavaliers 105-102 three-point overtime.

This is the result of the game that no one expected before the game, and even the Hawks who just beat the Pistons are skeptical about the result.

Eclipse tweeted the team online and said, "Is James playing badly?"

Bibby, who had just checked the data, wrote: "If you're talking about the stats, James scored 38 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists. ”

Birdman was also interested, and continued: "Then why did the Cavaliers lose?"

Ruan Erniu, who also had just checked the data, replied: "Because there was a more fierce one on the other side, Derrick Rose plus overtime, played a total of 50 minutes, contributed 39 points, 11 assists, and contributed a three-point kill in overtime......"

Eagles Generals: "......"

Well, although the Hawks, who easily defeated their opponents, are in the mood to comment on the game in the second half of the East, the official discussion the next day will still be left to the news media.

Compared with the bull and horse war, the Mavericks have an overall advantage, and the game between the bulls and the knights is really indistinguishable.

Before the game, no one could have imagined that the Chicagoans could play so well, and actually forced four quarters with the Cavaliers, and dragged the game into overtime.

Joakim Noah, who contributed 11 points and 17 rebounds (five of which were rebounds), proved his worth by building the Bulls' interior defense system with Tyrus Thomas and Brad Miller.

As for the Cavaliers, Big Z Ilgoskas certainly contributed 12 points and 10 double-doubles, but the performances of Valejo, Joe Smith and others were really lackluster.

But these people are not the worst performers, and Ben Wallace, who is a four-time D-POY and holds the highest salary on the team, has become the target of criticism from various media outlets, because he contributed 0 points, 1 rebound, and 1 assist in 12 minutes of playing time.

A lot of people began to laugh at the Cavaliers management, who ate Ben Wallace's garbage contract from the Bulls to make room for their opponents to make up for it.

Such a fearless spirit of internationalism is truly admirable.

At the time of the loss, no one would have remembered that the Cavaliers traded for Mo Williams this season.

All kinds of negative comments came to the face, as if the Cavaliers' record of winning second place in the East this season was all shit luck.

There is no doubt that the Bulls failed to defend against James, and Nocioni used more than one bad foul action against James, and failed to stop KING's assault, which is a problem of the difference in strength.

However, on the contrary, Mo Williams, who performed well in the regular season, was completely suppressed by Derrick Rose, the No. 1 in the 08.

Rose's performance on the offensive end needs no repetition, just by looking at his defense of Mo Williams on 5-of-14 shooting, you can see that the Windy City Roses have done everything a superstar should do on both ends of the floor.

With this one game alone, there is no suspense about the ownership of ROY (Rookie of the Year) this season, and Derrick Rose is the one who deserves it.

Ruan Erniu sent a message to Woodson alone: "Mike, your best coach is stable!"

That's right, Woodson's biggest opponent this season is Mike Brown, who led the Cavaliers to a new all-time record.

But if the knight is really dragged by the bull, this is undoubtedly the best news for the egghead.
