On the 5th, the seemingly ferocious cousin group suffered another defeat in Charlotte, and the big score between the two sides came to 0:2, and the Bobcats were far ahead. The Bobcats' rhythm is like an invisible net, and Maddie and Carter are desperately trying to speed up but still can't find themselves, and the reason is because the Heat don't have a third option to tear up space.

Maddy scored 41 points in this game, and Carter also had 28 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, but other than the two of them, the other players were not worth mentioning, and even Haslem was under the supervision of Sabonis.

This kind of loss is the most uncomfortable and the most powerless, obviously you have done well, but it is difficult to find a victory. Maddie and Carter can't figure it out, it's normal, for many superstars, they have this step, they have no skills, but they can't lead the team to win.

The question of how to be a leader is involved here, and whether the Heat's potential has really burst out, obviously not. At least Haslem didn't have this point, Hu Qingniu still remembered that Haslem had a shot. But in the team that Maddie controls, this is not reflected. Haslem was a blue-collar man used as a meat shield from start to finish.

Bringing teammates together is an esoteric science, and Maddie and Carter clearly haven't learned it yet. Even Kobe Bryant slowly learned how to be a leader after the extreme lone hero performance in the 05-06 season. Losing to the Suns for two years in a row clearly taught Kobe Bryant that an invincible individual can never win against a strong team.

Maddie and Carter still have a long way to go, and superstars have to keep learning and improving if they want to maintain their status. Otherwise, it will always be surpassed by advanced tactics and stronger newcomers. The last thing that human beings lack is gifted people, and Maddie and Carter obviously understand this, and Wade is proof that a new person has reached the point where he can be compared to them.

There will be a steady stream of new people coming out to challenge their status, just as they did when they challenged Jordan, Penny, Hill and others.

On the 7th, the Heat, who returned to their home court, lost another game, and Maddie and Carter's teams had come to an end. At this time, people suddenly discovered how strong and stable the new team of the alliance led by Hu Qingniu was.

Maddy and Carter's frenzied performances were able to pull the East Side boss Pacers down, but they couldn't fight back against the weaker-looking Bobcats.

From the start of the series until now, pundits and fans have been amazed to find that the Heat have not even been able to lead into the fourth quarter once. Every time it came to the third quarter, the Heat would be overwhelmed by a wave of scoring, and they could no longer turn over in the fourth quarter.

There was no suspense in the game of No. 9 in Miami, and the difference between the two teams came to 30 points at halftime, in other words, the Heat lost their sharpness and collapsed after three consecutive defeats. In this game, even Maddy only made 2 of 19 shots, only scored 10 points and 10 assists, Carter was normal, but only had 22 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, which was a failing performance in the battle of life and death, because the Heat team was the only one they could contribute, and the ball was highly concentrated.

It's really frustrating to play with a team like the Bobcats, and under Hu Qingniu's tutelage, the Bobcats make very few mistakes. The Heat never got a chance to play a wave.

In this round of the series, Maddy scored 33.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and 8.1 assists, and not only did he complete Wade's 26.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 5.6 assists in terms of basic data, but he also ranked first in such a series in history. Coupled with Carter's 29 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists, it's unbelievable that such a team can lose.

But the team has lost four games in a row, and it can still be seen from the data. First of all, Maddie's usage rate is as high as 49%, which means that Maddie uses half of the Heat's ball possession, plus Carter's 30%, and the cousins account for nearly 80% of the ball possession. But the score really doesn't account for 80%.

Maddie shot just 42 percent from the field and Carter at 43 percent, and the massive number of shots resulted in a lower shooting percentage. In Hu Qingniu's view, efficiency is something that measures the value of a player's presence, which means that many times the value of Maddie and Carter on the court is not as good as that of ordinary Bobcats.

The crux of the Heat's lack of major generals is irreparable this season. Riley used almost every chip the team had at his disposal to get the cousins. But the Heat have undoubtedly been successful this season, and beating the Pacers, the top seed in the Eastern Conference, in the first round was enough to surprise them.

So although the suspense of the fourth game of the series in Miami was lost early, the American Airlines Center Arena was still full of jubilation. Fans are not only happy with the Heat's performance this season, but also believe that the team has a bright future under the leadership of Maddie and Carter.

The battle between the Bobcats and the Heat has come to an end, but no matter which team makes it, it will be an unacceptable result for experts, as no expert predicted that the two teams would make the playoffs, let alone the division finals, before the season began.

The other set of matchups in the East is the Pistons and the Wizards.

The Wizards upset Kidd's team in the first round against the Nets. Kidd has given the Nets unmatched offensive possibilities, but it's hard for Kidd to do anything on the defensive end. Kidd's defense is a master, but the defense of Jefferson, Martin and others can't get to the passing line, and they are all players who are stronger in offense than in defense.

Hardaway and Hill have proven once again that the playoffs are the stage for superstars. The super offensive power of Hardaway and Hill caused the Nets to take care of each other, Kidd could hold Hardaway for a certain period of time, but Hill had no one to match him.

Hardaway at 21+11 and Hill at 26+8+5 led Kwame Brown, Jeffries, Tyronn Lue and others to a 4-2 victory over the Nets.

Even if Kidd cut the average quasi-triple-double of 19+8+12 per game, it will not help, and the current Eastern Conference teams generally have a single style. It's like the Nets, their system is all based on Kidd alone, there is a lack of tactical changes, and when they encounter difficult opponents, such as small forwards like Hill, they can often only let go, because the Nets are a team that can no longer change the lineup.

Defeating Kidd, Hardaway and Hill faced off against a Pistons known for their iron-clad defense, which was clearly stronger than ever. Anthony, who just won the NCAA Player of the Year, is the best rookie in the '03 generation, and it can be said that he fills the Pistons' No. 3 spot seamlessly.

The biggest weakness of the Pistons in history is their ability to attack, and it is obviously helpless to put all the pressure on the 1.91-meter Billups. The Pistons didn't have a tall striker for the task.

The appearance of Anthony solves this problem perfectly, and he is now the Pistons' No. 1 attacker and has no defensive worries. This Pistons team is the perfect team from one-on-one defense to zone defense.

The Wizards have lost three games in a row against such a reasonable and terrible team. Just two days later, the fourth game of the series will be played and the results will be revealed.
