To be honest, Maddy did have the ability to defeat Kobe Bryant and challenge like Jordan at his peak, but his surname and habits prevented him from taking advantage of this opportunity, and injuries were only one of the reasons.

Until now, Maddie can only be reduced to a bench player in a team's bench, which can only be said to be a pity. At 33 years old, Kobe Bryant is older than Maddy, but he can still contribute more than 25 points per game per game.

Maddy's play, on the other hand, is also a signal that the Spurs have given up the game.

Indeed, the dignity of the team is very important, but once compared with the physical body of the players, it seems insignificant, ** Vic is very clear about the form, the current Spurs have no hope of winning, in this case, trying to ensure the health of the players, is the most important issue for the Spurs now.

Duncan, Yao Ming, Ginobili and others are all very old and can have huge injuries at any time, and as the head coach of the team, Vicky must try to avoid this problem. It's not that they will definitely be injured in the next less than half of the game, but the current game is completely meaningless, Duncan Yao Ming's physical exhaustion is too large, Parker can still barely support the offense, but he can't stop Wang Meng at all, the Spurs are gone, and losing is inevitable.

After all, he has been a head coach at the Spurs for more than ten years, and if he loses this season, he will hone the Spurs more and make a comeback next season.

Although the Spurs will be older next season, there is no guarantee that the Spurs will not be able to win another championship.

At the end of the game, the fans of the Holy City watched silently, silently watching Duncan look up to the sky and sighing, watching Parker pound the ground angrily, watching Yao Ming shake his head and whisper, and watching Maddie smile helplessly.

In any case, the Spurs' dream of ambitious impact on the championship in the 13 season was shattered, and the Spurs, who successfully introduced Yao Ming and formed the strongest interior combination in the league, faced the Hornets led by Wang Meng, and finally lost, and the defeat was very miserable, and was swept 4:0.

The Hornets defeated the Spurs to advance to the Finals, while on the other side of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Heat and Knicks were still staging a bloody battle.

The Knicks have indeed improved a lot this season, and bringing in Nash is the best option for the Knicks, as the smartest brain in the league, Nash can solve the ball problem of Anthony and Stoudemire very well when he is in possession. Although the two of them will eventually sacrifice some of their stats, it is obviously much better than last season.

Of these two teams, the Heat has a four-man group of Kidd, Ray Allen, Wade, and James on the outside, and has the absolute upper hand, while the Knicks have Stoudemire and Tyson Chandler, which are much stronger than the Heat.

Both teams have weaknesses to attack, which also leads to both teams scoring very highly, averaging around 130 points per game in several games, or even higher.

After the series between the Hornets and the Spurs ended, the game between the Knicks and the Heat was still not over, the Heat originally led the Knicks 3:2, but in the sixth game, Anthony broke out in the small universe and scored 48 points in the whole game, helping the Knicks to tie the score to 3:3, so the Heat and the Knicks finally entered the tiebreaker.

The Eastern Conference Finals, the tie-breaker, and the battle of the strongest Big Three, this kind of gimmick made the game between the Heat and the Knicks attract much attention, and even Wang Meng sat in front of the TV and watched the game between the two teams with great interest.

The starters of both teams were: Heat: Kidd, Wade, James, Haslem, Bosh.

Knicks: Nash, J.R. Smith, Anthony, Stoudemire and Chandler.

Naturally, there was not much suspense in the jump ball, and Chandler, who had enough height advantage, was not inferior to Bosh in the bounce, and easily dialed the ball to Nash.

At the beginning of the game, the Knicks played very aggressively. Nash, a player of the 96 golden generation, was always pressed down by Kidd in the early days, but when he was old, he was able to comfortably bully Kidd.

That's right, in the first few games, Nash completely pressed Kidd to play again, unlike Nash, Kidd is now at his age, except for experience, there is almost no point in the style of the original All-Star point guard, triple-double king, this season in the Heat, Kidd only averaged 8 points and 6 assists per game, for his name, this data is really a little unacceptable.

In contrast, Nash, who was able to score a double-double this season and won the assist king again, is undoubtedly much more dazzling.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the way they play and the players in the team. The Heat's Ray Allen, Wade, and James are all players who need to attack with the ball, and on the bench, there are still two rising stars of Chalmers and Kerr, and Kidd's position in the Heat is somewhat unclear. Nash is in the Knicks, but he is the real main core, even Anthony, in terms of ball distribution, has to watch Nash come.

On the first ball of both sides, the Knicks showed the characteristics of the team this season.

Fast! Very fast. The Knicks' offense was like mercury, and under the control of Nash's brain, they launched an unusually gorgeous offense.

The first lesson was scored by Anthony.

Originally, Nash was the one who had the ball, but he stood at the top of the three-point arc and passed the ball to Anthony, and then slipped to the baseline as fast as a run.

Nash was and is still a football player, and in terms of footsteps, Nash has a unique advantage, his whole body is like a gust of wind, yearning for that side to float, just drift that way. Kidd simply couldn't keep up with Nash.

Nash ran from the baseline to the three-point line, and Anthony immediately passed the ball back, and at this time, Nash was empty in front of him, which was a huge flaw.

James, who was in charge of defending Anthony, saw this and had to quickly rush to Nash's defense. And at this time, Nash passed the ball back to Anthony, and Anthony hit the first shot with an open three-point shot.

The three-point game is also the theme of these two teams.

The Heat and the Knicks, these two teams rank first and second in the league in three-point shooting percentage, respectively, and the three-point shot is also one of the strongest means of these two teams.

was preemptively shot by the Knicks for a three-pointer, and the Heat were also a little unhappy, James hit Anthony with the ball in the middle distance.

Anthony's back may be the strongest in the 03 generation, and James who didn't even use his back much before the explosion, but his defensive ability has always been his criticism. As a top player in the league, Anthony's defensive skills naturally need not be said, but in front of Wang Meng, a defensive master, Anthony's defensive ability can indeed only be an apprentice. Of course, it's just a matter of attitude, Anthony's defensive attitude is not as good as that of players like James and Kobe, which has also led to his defense being slightly inferior all the time.

James hit Anthony on the back, only to use his body to squeeze twice and get to the basket.

James pulled up a dunk on the spot and also scored for the Heat.

The game between the Heat and the Knicks is a battle of offense, which is completely opposite to the game between the Hornets and the Spurs, the game between the Hornets and the Spurs is that the defense is tougher, and in the end, Wang Meng completely killed Parker, so in the end the Spurs lost.

The game between the Heat and the Knicks was different, and the collision of two fast-break powerhouses was very gorgeous from the beginning.

Nash's various flowing passes, Anthony's variety of offensive methods, Ray Allen's fast and urgent three-pointers, and James's hard bow-like layup.

It was supposed to be an Eastern Conference Finals game, but it was played as beautifully by these two teams as it was on All-Star weekend.

The good thing about beautiful basketball is that it often attracts a large number of fans.

The first quarter of the game ended in the competition between the Knicks' Nash and the Heat's James, and as James' opposing player, Anthony's performance today was slightly unsatisfactory. was slightly contained by James on the offensive end, and scored casually by James on the defensive end, which is a very embarrassing thing for the 03 golden generation, of course, the best in 03 is James who is now embarrassing him.

Holding his breath in the first quarter, Anthony couldn't wait to return it as soon as he got on the court in the second quarter.

scored 8 points in a row, including two three-pointers, Anthony finally vented his inner discomfort a little, and what made him more comfortable, these 8 points, he got all on James's head.

Due to Anthony's outburst on the Knicks' side, the Heat's rhythm felt momentarily stalled.

For a small-ball storm team like the Heat, it's a very grim thing for the offense to stagnate.

The head coach of the Heat, Shuai Shuai, immediately called a timeout and redeployed his tactics.

"Cut, it's boring." Wang Meng shook his head a little boredly, in his eyes, the Knicks played completely unclear So, obviously there are two Knicks who play inside, Stoudemire and Chandler, and they have always been competing with the Heat on the outside, which is simply a sacrifice of the basics. Although the Heat also has an All-Star big man inside Bosh, but in Wang Meng's view, Bosh is not worthy of being an interior player at all, don't look at Stoudemire's height is lower than Bosh, but he is a player with the title of a little bully on the inside, in the peak of the Suns, Stoudemire is the league's top inside, much more famous than Howard.

Although the current Stoudemire still has some injuries, his interior offensive ability is definitely not as weak as Bosh, plus a tall and long-arm companion Chandler, if the Knicks follow Wang Meng's idea and specialize in the interior, it is obviously much more stable than the outside.
