Chapter 554: The First Round of the Semifinals

For a long time, every game of the Nets, Xiao Ran opened the situation alone, scored, defended, and organized offense, and he led the game to the end alone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But now, the Nets have matured, and now they can stand on their own.

The previous Nets team was already terrifying enough to be difficult to handle, but the current Nets team has become more mature and stronger.

The Celtics have the most intuitive feeling when facing the Nets.

In the regular season, they only need to defend Xiao Ran, and even if others give them positions, they will not perform too well.

The occasional surprise is only a flash in the pan.

But now, the Celtics are feeling the pressure across the board!

First of all, Xiao Ran is still strong, and he can still cause pressure on the outside and inside, and score easily.

Secondly, the Nets players cooperate more tacitly, which is more intuitive.

If the Nets at the beginning of the season were still a hungry wolf, the current Nets are a tiger whose territory has been violated.

At the beginning of the game, the Nets team was like a tiger descending from a mountain, under the leadership of Xiao Ran, destroying everything in front of them.

At the beginning of the game, the Celtics planned really well and defended sluggishly, but when they really faced the current Nets, they knew how difficult it was!

Xiao Ran's containment has made the Celtics' defense frequently have loopholes, and as long as there are loopholes, other Nets players will not let it go.

Although not everyone has a high shooting percentage, the transfer of the ball can make it easy for the Nets to face the Celtics' defense and finally score the ball!

More than five minutes into the first quarter, the Celtics were visibly feeling lacked.

When they are defending, they are in a dilemma!

Defend Xiao Ran, then the other players of the Nets team will definitely have vacancies, and if they don't defend Xiao Ran, they are afraid that he will make a three-point rain.

The dilemma will inevitably turn into a loss of one or the other, and eventually lead to the collapse of the defense across the board!

Halfway through the first quarter, the Celtics' head coach and players knew that they were no match for the Nets!

This is completely the difference in strength in nature, and it cannot be solved through tactical arrangements.

This is also why, the head coach of some teams will have the idea of abolishing Xiao Ran!

It's really too big a gap in strength, and I can't think of a countermeasure at all!

Coming to the playoffs, Xiao Ran's offensive style has changed significantly, he used to score crazy by himself, but now he organizes his teammates to attack in an all-round way.

The Nets' players have obviously started to look good in the playoffs, with a significant increase in points and assists, which can reach more than half of the team's total data!

The Nets that entered the playoffs are no longer the team that only looks at Xiao Ran.

The current Celtics are still in the revival stage, and their strength is in the top 10 in the league, which is not too strong, and they do not have their own unique style of play, and they are not the small-ball tactics that pose the greatest threat to the Nets at this stage.

It's fair to say that the Celtics have already declared their defeat the day they decided to play against the Nets.

Although this game is highly anticipated, everyone knows the power of the Nets now.

Without Xiao Ran, the Nets can still become a playoff powerhouse, and with Xiao Ran, the strength of this team will be further strengthened, not a little bit, it can be said that a qualitative change has been formed.

In this game, when the first half was commentated, the Nets had gained an absolute lead.

In the second half, Xiao Ran did not play, but the main players of the Nets still played well, although the lead was slowly chased, but they were still able to stabilize the situation.

In the second half of the game, Celtics' head coach Brad Stevens had already given up the game!

The Nets are not letting Xiao Ran play now, but the score is still not too effective to pursue, which is definitely not good news for the Celtics.

Now, if they try their best to catch up with the score, when the time comes, the obvious difference in strength will definitely not let the Celtics continue to catch up.

Besides, Van Dewicki's coaching level is not bad, and he will not make that kind of fatal coaching mistake, as long as the Celtics continue to chase the momentum of points, they will definitely replace Xiao Ran on the field immediately!

In the second half of the game, Xiao Ran did not play too much except for playing at the last moment of the final quarter and maintaining the lead in the score, and it was completely played by other players of the Nets.

For Xiao Ran, this is definitely a good thing.

After all, the core of a game without half the rest is not a good core!

In the whole game, Xiao Ran scored 31 points, 12 assists and 6 rebounds.

Looking at the other players, they scored 86 points in the game.

Among them, Scola and Lopez were on the inside, and the two teamed up to score 45 points and completely crush the Celtics on the inside.

After this game, there will be two home games for the Nets, which is undoubtedly worse for the Celtics.

In addition, the Cavaliers crushed the Wizards by a big score of 133-96.

In this game, James showed his title as the king, scoring a big triple-double of 44 points, 11 assists and 13 rebounds in the game.

James was able to play so perfectly in this game entirely because of the pressure the Nets put on him.

Not surprisingly, this season's Eastern Conference Finals will be the Nets against their Cavaliers.

As soon as he thought about it, James felt the pressure doubled, and he played extremely seriously.

Also, the Western Division.

The Warriors beat the Jazz 121-102.

Dulant and Curry's double-arrow five-man can block, both of them are top five superstars in the league, which makes their offense seem unstoppable, the two are crazy on the outside, and they can shoot their opponents to death, plus the Warriors' third-quarter outbreak came as promised, and the Jazz looked weak and weak throughout the game.

There were a total of four games in the semi-finals, and the first three games were all crushed, and it was not until the fourth game that people's hearts were pinched.

The game between the Spurs and the Rockets, the two teams have very different styles, and the whole game is extremely anxious, and from the first quarter, the Spurs and the Rockets have launched a fierce battle.

However, it was clear that the Rockets' pace was not so good in the early stage, and in the first half, the Spurs took a 10-point lead.

Although this is already commonplace for the Rockets, they can complete the overtake with a larger point difference.

But alas, their opponent was the Spurs, and under the tactical guidance of Bobo Weiqi, the Spurs players executed perfectly, and in the final quarter of the game, the Rockets did not give a chance to jump at all.

Coupled with the critical moment, a mistake by Harden directly buried the whole situation.

The Spurs also took a 1-0 lead.
