The first round of the 2007~2008 NBA playoffs has ended. On the Eastern side, the Celtics changed their embarrassing history 4:0 and swept the Hawks, the Pistons easily defeated the 76ers 4:1, and the Magic and Cavaliers defeated the Raptors and Wizards 4:2 respectively.

The Western Lakers beat the Mavericks 4:0, and the Mavericks owners Cuban and Nuo Tianwang were heartbroken again. The Rockets eliminated the Suns 4:1, Maddie finally broke his first-round curse, stepped into the second round of the playoffs for the first time in his life, and when he defeated the Suns in Game 5, Maddie couldn't help crying and kissed the floor of the Toyota Center. The duel between the Hornets and the Jazz is undoubtedly the duel between Paul and Delon, the two new generation of All-Star point guards, and finally the Hornets narrowly defeated the Jazz 4:3, which was really dangerous, and finally they all entered overtime, and finally Paul suddenly scored two 3-pointers in the last minute, and also cut off a key pass from Delon, so Delon and Paul won the first playoff matchup. And the Jazz's iron coach Jerry Sloan lost in the playoffs again, this veteran coach instructed the Jazz to experience the strength and decline of the Jazz for more than 20 years, and it is really hard to wait for so many years without two championship rings. In the end, the Spurs and the Trail Blazers faced off, the old Spurs won in the end, and the Trail Blazers, who were not afraid of tigers, had a brilliant season after getting Oden's "Emperor", and finally became an experience baby, and could only make a comeback next season.

And the matchup of the second round is also out, East: Celtics vs. Cavaliers, Pistons vs. Magic. West: Lakers vs. Spurs (vs. old rivals), Rockets vs. Hornets (Both teams have players entering the second round of the playoffs for the first time, and this is what promises to be a great series where all players will fight to the last shot.) ）……

The first game of round 2 is the Lakers vs. Spurs, and the Celtics game is on day 2. Rivers decided that the Lakers were the most likely opponent of the Celtics in the Finals, so he took the players to watch the live broadcast of the game and study the Lakers' tactics.

In this regard, Joe can only say, you look down on the Cavaliers too much, and the opponents in the second round have not been solved before studying the opponents of the finals.

But the Celtics do have that capital, first of all, the Cavaliers haven't won a single game against the Celtics in the regular season, and they have lost by a dozen points in each game.

Secondly, the Cavaliers only have one LeBron James to watch out for, and the others rely more on James to break through the ball. And for a super swingman like James, many teams can't do anything, but the Celtics are not afraid of James. There are many people in the Celtics who can defend James, and after Joe came to the Celtics, the games with the Cavaliers were basically him and Pierce defending James, and more often than not, it was a single defense, which was enough to see the defensive ability of the two. And there is also a defensive talent on the bench, not Tony Allen, Tony Allen is very good at defense, but due to height restrictions, it is difficult for him to defend James at 193cm at 203cm. Another player who can defend the Celtics is James Posey. James Posey has height, his defensive ability is not lost to Tony Allen, the only drawback is that he is not physically strong enough, but Posey's defense does not rely on physical strength but experience, just like playing the Hawks in the last series, Posey defended Joe Johnson and Marvin Williams very well.

As long as James is restricted, then the Cavaliers are fat on the board, at the mercy of the Celtics......

The Cavaliers put aside in advance, and now they should be concerned about the situation of the Celtics' old rival Lakers. In the previous life, the Lakers played the Jazz in the second round, and the Lakers still have the ability to beat the Jazz. Now the Jazz were eliminated in the first round, and the Western Conference Finals were originally advanced. The Lakers and Spurs are back against each other.

Bruce Bowen's early retirement left the Spurs without a super point guard defender, as can be seen from the Spurs' game against the Trail Blazers, if Bowen is still in Roy and it is not so easy, then the Spurs may beat the Trail Blazers one or two games earlier instead of dragging it to Game seven.

In the Western Conference finals between the Spurs and the Lakers, the Lakers defeated the aging Spurs 4:1 in the end. This is still with Bruce Bowen still there, Kobe Bryant is guarded, and now Joe is afraid that the Spurs may be swept out.

Sure enough, without Bowen Bryant, it was like a nerve, shooting inside and out, and the Spurs were stunned that no one could prevent him. In the end, Kobe Bryant scored 45 points alone, and Duncan didn't get a bargain when he met Gasol. In the end, the Lakers beat the Spurs 108-91.

It seems that it will be really difficult to break through the West before the Spurs don't get Kawhi Leonard, and they lack good defenders.

Kawhi Leonard has terrifying hands, and when fully open, the distance from the tip of the little finger to the tip of the thumb is 11.5 inches (0.2921 meters), which is reminiscent of Dr. J, who also has large hands. In addition, Kawhi Leonard's long arm helped him grab a lot of rebounds, and the defense also put some pressure on the opponent, and the offensive and defensive role was obviously his long arm that limited James' play in the 13~14 finals, and finally the Spurs could win the NBA championship again.

Kawhi Leonard is an athletic forward with outstanding arms and underrated ball-handling ability; rarely fouls, able to finish offense and hit three-pointers; A flank defender with reach, speed, confrontation and awareness. Kawhi Leonard was also a quiet assassin. On the offensive end, he can shoot three-pointers, impact the basket, and play singles in the low post; Defensively, he can defend three or four different guys. Leonard is a very important piece of the puzzle.

And most importantly, Leonard's character Joe is particularly fond of, quiet and introverted, without a temper.

On June 13, 2013, talking about the team's defensive stalwart Kawhi Leonard, Spurs coach Greg **vic broke the news: "Kawai has never spoken to me, so I really don't know what kind of confidence he has. But, when you watch him play, you know that he doesn't have any problems, he just plays and then goes home. ”

On the night after Game 3 of the 2014 Finals, Kawhi Leonard and his agent returned to their home in San Antonio with his mother, and his wonderful footage was showing on TV, while the agent and his mother watched and discussed, while Leonard just ate quietly on the sidelines.

And when David Stern presented Leonard with the Finals MVP, Leonard was shy and nervous like a child.

So Kowhi Leonard is definitely a good 2 master, and as for the leader, this kind of character seems to be not domineering.

Thinking of Leonard Joe's saliva is dripping (uh, Joe is not a guy ~ guy), hehe, there is a good teammate again.

And Tony Allen, who was sitting next to Joe, saw Joe suddenly drooling and poked Joe with his elbow to remind Joe to pay attention to his demeanor. "JOJO, YOU'RE DROOLING."

"Well, maybe I'm hungry."

After hearing this, Tony Aaron was like a monk who was confused. Strange, didn't you just eat it together? Hungry to watch a game?
