The Trail Blazers overturned the Western Conference hegemons 4-1, which undoubtedly made many people lose their eyes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info The Trail Blazers' ability to make the playoffs this season is beyond the predictions of experts, after all, the wave of injuries they have suffered is also at the forefront of history, but this high ranking looks very miserable.

Whether it is the Suns, Spurs or Lakers, it can be said that the three opponents of the Trail Blazers in the playoffs are not easy to match, the Suns are third in the West, the Lakers are first in the West, although the Spurs are still behind them, but the records of the two sides are equal, and the Spurs have been regarded as the whetstone that must be experienced by the league championship, even if it is only the No. 7 seed in the West, no one will underestimate this Silver and Black team. But it is precisely their strength that makes the Trail Blazers' achievement in reaching the Finals even greater and rarer. Although they have faced many tests in each round of the series, they have to admit that they have shown the temperament of a strong team.

Sixth in the West is indeed a relatively low ranking, but there is a precedent in NBA history for the No. 6 seed to win the championship, and that is the short-lived Rockets dynasty back then. In the 1993-94 season, the Rockets finished second in the West with a 58-24 record, and defeated the Trail Blazers, Suns, Jazz and Knicks to win their first championship in franchise history. However, the following season, the Rockets suffered a wide range of injuries, and in the end they finished with a dismal 47-35 and finished in sixth place in the West.

But it is such a rocket, in the first round of the five to beat the Jazz, the second round to beat the Suns, the Western Conference finals 62-20 the league's first Spurs under the horse, and in the finals, the fledgling "big shark" in the dialogue with Olajuwon completely fell behind, and the Rockets won the championship again. As the head coach of the Rockets, the famous Tomjanovich's phrase "never underestimate the heart of a champion" has become a famous phrase sung by future generations.

Can the Trailblazers do it? If at first people would think it was a dream, few people have come forward to say that the Trail Blazers are doomed, even if they have no chance of home-court advantage in the Finals. But now that the Eastern Conference champion has not yet been born, the Trail Blazers' players can only start recovery training in the training gym, and cannot make any targeted arrangements for the time being. However, they, like the majority of fans, are also watching the progress of the Eastern Conference Finals, because it is related to their Finals opponents, although it seems that no one is easy to mess with.

Needless to say, the Celtics are the oldest giants in the history of the NBA, although they once became a fish belly team in the league, but under the operation of general manager Angie, they recruited two All-Star players, Garnett and Ray Allen, plus Pierce, the pillar of the original team, and Rondo, who has gradually grown, the strength cannot be underestimated. And this season they have added many excellent role players, such as one of the Pistons Five Tigers who defeated the Lakers "F4" that year, "Roaring Tianzun" Wallace, which really strengthened the team's combat power, and they are currently leading their opponents 3-1 and occupying the opportunity to advance to the finals.

And their opponent Magic is a typical lineup of one center + four shooters, first of all, the "Warcraft" Howard on the inside has the momentum of the league's first center, although he will be beaten by Yao Ming every time, but his physical fitness is absolutely not to say, with an average of 20 + 10 hands per game, and the deterrent power under the basket is very strong. In addition to Lewis and Turkoglou, players such as Carter, Redick, Petrus, and Ryan Anderson can also make great contributions beyond the three-point line, and this team also has very strong strength.

Either of these two teams will be a win against the Blazers. Although the Celtics' Big Three are old and weak, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, their strength is there, and Garnett is still a player with his own tactical system. Even if the Celtics can't play the epic level of defense in the 08-09 season, the Trail Blazers don't have any advantage against them, maybe only Ye Feng and Batum can find a little bit of court on the outside, right?

Not to mention the Magic, there is not much difference between the three-point shooting of the two sides in the strict sense, but the difference on the inside must not be recorded in the Daoli. Aldridge and Camby's offense-and-defense combination does complement each other well, but Howard's dominance on the interior is not just words, whether it's his pick-and-roll or rebounding, it can be a headache for the Trail Blazers' interior players. In turn, the huge containment of the inside can create opportunities for the outside, you must know that the Magic's power forward Lewis likes to shoot on the outside, and the three-point shooting rate in the regular season is as high as 39.7%, do you dare to let him shoot on the outside?

But the Trail Blazers didn't care so much, and if a basketball game could be decided by a contest of strength on paper, then what else would they play? The Celtics and the Magic are strong, but are we really weak? Do you know that compared to them, we crawled out of hell and want to win the championship? Ask if we agree! Even if you can win in the end, we will bite a piece of meat from you!

Originally, everyone thought that the Celtics' loss in Game 4 was only due to a slight nap, and the Magic only won by 4 points, and almost everyone except Magic fans believed that they could beat their opponents 4-1 and advance to the Finals. But in the fifth game, the Magic suddenly went crazy, they shot 13 of 25 three-pointers, 4 of the team scored double-doubles, 2 scored more than 20 points, and the Celtics only came off the bench Wallace to get 20+, and the Magic defeated the Celtics 113-92 at home, bringing the score to 2-3, and still retaining the hope of reaching the finals.

But in Game 6, the old Celtics still taught the young Magic a lesson, they suppressed the Magic's three-point shooting rate at 27.3%, and only three players on the team scored in double figures, which was not the same as the previous game. A total of five players scored in double figures, and veteran Pierce scored 31 points and 13 rebounds to become the team's biggest contributor. In the end, the Celtics defeated the Magic 96-84 and reached the Finals for the second time since the 2007-08 season. For the Big Three, whether they win the championship this time or not, they are all old, in other words, this may be the last season for the three of them to play together.
