Winning and losing, the Celtics stopped in the second round again. The glory of the Big Three is almost coming to an end, they are getting old, and if they want to win another title, they must think about rebuilding and focusing on young players.

Everyone in the Knicks is happy, this is a typical nouveau riche mentality, from a lottery team to an Eastern Conference Finals powerhouse, the span is too big. What the management is most excited about is that Zhou Xuan is very young, and the core is young, which means that he can be strong for many years, as long as he introduces good role players to assist at any time, the team will gradually have the foundation of a strong team.

Ewing's curse is completely over.

Zhou Xuan's playoff statistics reached 24 points and 3. 2 rebounds 11. 3 assists 2. 2 steals. He is another standout among point guards, and if it weren't for the Pacers' too easy win, his stats would be even more beautiful.

The reporter asked Zhou Xuan's goal during the interview.

Zhou Xuan said: "The temporary goal is to beat the Heat in the next round. ”

The reporter asked, "Do you think the Heat will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals?" ”

"I think it must be so, the Bulls are strong, but it's still a bit of a gap compared to the Heat." Zhou Xuan smiled.

Now the two sides are tied 3-2, the Heat successfully won the match point, and the Bulls stubbornly pulled back a game at home, but they were unlucky at the Heat's home court.

D'Antoni is also optimistic about the team going all the way to the black. "We're confident of beating any team, the Heat have a big three, but their weaknesses are obvious," he said. ”

The next day, the media was full of praise, saying that this season belonged to the Knicks and belonged to Zhou Xuan.

No one is saying that the Knicks are spending money to buy a roster for a championship. Their lineup is not favored at all this season, some people even said that their lineup is too shabby in the summer, only two stars and Gallinari, the others are rookies, substitutes for various teams, James is reluctant to come for this. Leading such teammates to the Eastern Conference Finals, Zhou Xuan's leadership ability is already recognized.

There was also a team in the West that advanced first, somewhat unexpectedly, the Dallas Mavericks.

86 to 125. The Lakers lost by 39 points and were swept 0-4 by the Mavericks, ending their playoff journey early.

Terry hit nine three-pointers, Barria also played well, and the Mavericks exploded the Lakers from the outside. The Lakers' three interior stars played at full strength, but to no avail.

This is the seventh time in the history of the Lakers that they have been swept 0-4. Including this time, in the 65-year history of the NBA, the defending champion has only been swept in the playoffs only six times. What makes it even more difficult for Lakers fans to accept is that among these 6 times, the Lakers have dominated 3 times.

In the series, the Lakers missed many opportunities, and both the first and third games were overturned by the Mavericks in the fourth quarter. This has something to do with the inability to prevent the Mavericks' outside offense, and Terry and Barria can easily break through without blocking.

In the last game, the Lakers players had collapsed, and the Mavericks unceremoniously rained a "three-point rain", shooting 11 of 15 in the first half, tying the NBA playoff record, and shooting 20 of 32 three-pointers in the whole game, tying the playoff record.

Terry scored 32 points in just 25 minutes.

The Lakers' frustration and impatience were laid bare in the fourth quarter, when Odom and Bynum were sent off the court for malicious fouls.

The thrilling scene came 8 minutes and 22 seconds before the end, Barria took advantage of Nowitzki's block at the top of the arc to go straight into the Lakers restricted area, and just as he jumped in the air, Bynum, who was standing under the basket, was full of anger, rushed up and raised his right elbow, and smashed Barria under the armpit. Bynum didn't jump at all, he just went for the people, and Barria, who lost his balance, fell sideways from the air and slammed it on the floor.

After the game, Bynum was described as "the most despicable man", and Dallas fans suggested that he be punished severely, and he repeatedly maliciously injured people during the game. Seriously injured Wallace, played Turyaf, including winning the championship last season, relying on his and Kobe's "combined attack" against Yao Ming.

The Lakers went out in the most humiliating way, losing and losing.

Lakers general manager Kupchak told the media that he believes "Zen Master" Jackson will definitely retire this time.

For a Zen master, in his illustrious teaching career, such an ending is unimaginable. But in the face of such an ending, he just treated it with a smile.

Equally painful was Kobe. After 14 years of his career, Bryant's desire to win remains, but the years have faded his abilities. In the four playoff games against the Mavericks, Bryant had the best performance in the first game, scoring 36 points, but he took a lot of shots and did not have a single assist, scoring only 23 points in the second game, and only 17 and 18 points in the next two games. Yesterday Bryant had a measly 1 assist and 5 turnovers. When the team's fate was hanging by a thread, Kobe Bryant failed to step up and turn the tide.

In 4 games, Kobe Bryant played a total of 148 minutes, did not dunk a single dunk, only scored a successful layup, and scored other sports battles by jumping shots. Can such a leader lead the team to win?

Kenny as a guest commentator at TNT? Smith commented: "Kobe Bryant is only one of the top 10 players in the NBA now, and he is no longer the omnipotent person he used to be. But Lakers players are relying on Kobe Bryant more than ever, which has led to the current result. ”

After that, the Heat eliminated the Bulls 4-1. James is unstoppable, Bulls core Derrick? Rose averaged 30+ shots per game in this series and became a blacksmith.

Thibodeau is good at arranging the defensive system, but the offensive tactics are very monotonous, which is to use the individual abilities of the stars, which is similar to the Rockets under Van Gundy. The Heat's stars are more capable and their defense is not bad, so the Bulls can't stand it.

The Thunder upset the Spurs 4-2 and beat the veteran with speed.

Perkins played a key role, and after trading with the Celtics, the Thunder officially rose. Perkins can act as a meat shield on the inside, and Ibaka happens to be a very mobile player who is good at side help blocking, and the two form a perfect complement. It's a shame to see Green away, but from a tactical standpoint, the Thunder are more threatening right now. The offense is completed by the young three young Durant, Westbrook, and Harden, and the rest of the main task is defense, with a clear division of labor.

Chinese fans are very satisfied with this result, not that they like the Thunder, but that the Mavericks have a difficult time playing the Spurs, and they have an advantage against the Thunder, and the combination of Nowitzki and Yao Ming can exert more power. Perkins and Ibaka are not too tall.

Many experts predict that the Mavericks have already booked a spot in the Finals, and unless a miracle happens, or Yao Ming is injured again, the Thunder will certainly not be the match.

The Eastern Conference Finals are even more interesting. Both teams easily beat their opponents in the first two rounds and had a full lineup.

The Knicks and James had an affair in the summer, and in the end James chose the Heat. If the Knicks beat the Heat to reach the finals, it will be like a slap in the face to James. The Heat won, and James can not regret his choice.

Zhou Xuan will take the opportunity to prove that his MVP is very valuable, and he can defeat the strongest opponents.

What is Wade's return from injury?

Can James' dominance continue against the sky? In the playoffs, he shot less than 50% of his shots in one game, averaging 26 per game. 6 points 7. 4 rebounds 6. 8 assists.

Aside from Zhou Xuan and Stadamire, who can stand up for the Knicks?

During the break, Chinese fans launched an online poll with 79 percent of the people who believed the Knicks would beat the Heat, a vote with a clear emotional component.

There was a similar vote in the United States, and the answer was the opposite, with 71% of fans favoring the Heat, and the Knicks' experience will be a big factor in preventing them from reaching the Finals. As the game progresses, the problem becomes more and more apparent.

Zhou Xuan called Yao Ming to congratulate each other, reported the situation to his parents, and then stayed in the apartment to rest and closed the door. Friends come to chat, talk about basketball, talk about movies, it's so lively.

Mitchell? Butler went to New York yesterday and lived directly in Zhou Xuan's house to analyze the prospects of the game.

Mitchell said: "At this stage, no team wants to lose. I think you're a little weaker than the Heat. ”

"Oh? We beat the Heat in the regular season, and I think there's a way to break down their defense. Zhou Xuan smiled.

"You scored 57 points against the Celtics, you should feel that a heads-up style of play like this is more suitable for the playoffs. I think you should play like that, defend and give it to your teammates and then try to attack. Chalmers shouldn't be able to guard you. Mitchell suggested.

"That's what I'm going to do."

If you want to say which position has the most advantage against the Heat, it must be the No. 1 position, whether it is Chalmers or Bibby, the strength is very average, and the Heat also know this, and should let Wade go to the opposite position with Zhou Xuan. Pekovic's advantage on the inside line is actually not obvious, he is too slow, he is not good at jumpers, and once he does not score, he is easy to be counterattacked. The Heat now have Dampier on the inside.

"I suggest you do the same next season, get super stats, and you'll be the number one star in the league. Now James is still above you, but I think you're better than him. ”

"I don't know when it will be next season, let's talk about it." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.

The first-star stats must be pretty, although some people say that James' style of play has ruined his teammates, and the stats of Bosh, Haslem and others have dropped. But more people like his style. Zhou Xuan's style of play will give people the feeling that his teammates are very strong and have made him. From the Warriors to the Knicks, there are always people who hold this argument.

Zhou Xuan's goal this season is to win the championship, and he made up his mind at the beginning, he doesn't want to fall here in the Heat. Who defends James is something for the coaching staff to consider, and Gallinari is under a lot of pressure.

Mitchell asked, "Is there any news from Gilmour?" I heard that Scarlett's scene in "The Avengers" is almost finished. How do you feel about making a long movie? ”

"I don't feel it, because filming hasn't started yet, so I hope everything goes well." Zhou Xuan paused for a moment and said with a smile: "Before making a movie, you help me contact the Chinese side, I'll go back to participate in a few activities, and then go directly to Hong Kong from there to meet the crew, I've been in the United States for a few years, I have to go back to see." ”

"Well, it should be."
