Chapter 118: Advance to the Eastern Conference Finals

Date: 2014-02-03

This fifth game is no different from the previous game, when the Cavaliers led the Bulls in the first quarter, they began to expand the pit and help him expand the pit dug by the Bulls in the first quarter, which is the next job for the Cavaliers

, After Gibson came on the court, the addition made the Bulls don't know what to do, because whenever Chen Jiyuan played alone, Gibson had the opportunity to stand outside the three-point line on Chen Jiyuan's side, and after several previous games, it was proved that Gibson's three-point ability is not a joke, it is better to say that Gibson's only NBA-level skill now is his three-point ability

After Chen Jiyuan received the ball in the low post, Gordon was now embarrassed, and Chen Jiyuan turned over and made a jumper before Gordon stepped forward, but unfortunately the ball was deflected under Wallace's interference

When the Bulls attack, they rely on Gordon's personal ability, this ball Gordon or then PJ Brown's cover shot, hit the current Bulls' offense is basically the outside players and then cover to find opportunities to attack, as for whether it is a mid-range shot or a breakthrough into the inside line, it depends on the Bulls' own choice of the entire second quarter, the two sides are boring offensive mode, the Cavaliers are Chen Jiyuan's low-post receiving the ball to attract the bag, or divide the ball, or attack by themselves, and the Bulls are inside to cover the outside, Then whether it's an inside layup, a mid-range shot, or a three-pointer is up to the Bulls' outside preference

When the half game ended, the score on the court was 45:52 The Cavaliers did not succeed in expanding the score gap, today Chen Jiyuan's hand was not very good, and he turned around and jumped out many times

In the third quarter, the Cavaliers changed, and the fact that James was the main offense and Chen Jiyuan did a lot attracted Wallace out of the interior, when PJ Brown was alone on the inside, it was difficult to prevent James's breakthrough, because he didn't even do Hughes's breakthrough defense, although PJ Brown is an experienced veteran, but these experiences can't help him defend himself, and the young and impactful James When Chen Jiyuan pulled the inside line, Then there will be a lot of room for James's breakthrough in the third quarter, James was powerful, and he scored 16 points alone, at the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers also successfully opened the difference between the two sides The Cavaliers entered the fourth quarter with a difference of 14 points, although it seems that the difference is not so safe, but as long as there are no accidents, in fact, there is basically no suspense in this game, because when the score is behind to 10 points, The Bulls' players have no motivation to be in this game, the state of the Bulls is not to win, but to lose, this belief and mentality is not difficult to see, and it is also an important factor in determining which step a championship team can definitely go to a championship team, even if the team is out of 0:3, when the big score that is impossible to turn the tables over, the players will never give up lightly, play to tie-break, and then advance, even if this possibility is small, They will not give up the Cavaliers' current player mentality is very good, one reason is the previous Brown's political education and guidance class, and the other reason is the usual motivation and spirit of not giving up James and Chen Jiyuan, especially Chen Jiyuan, the passion for playing and the spirit of never giving up are Chen Jiyuan's rare advantages

In the end, the Cavaliers won the game with a score of 100:91, and the final series score was 4:1 to eliminate the Bulls, and successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals, which was already expected when the Cavaliers led the Bulls 3:0. Not to mention five games, the Pistons can end the series, but the Pistons, who were generally favored before the game, are not as strong as they thought before, but were forced to a dead end by the Nets The day before the game between the Cavaliers and the Bulls, the Pistons relied on a whistle shut-out by Billups to barely win a game, and the two sides are now tied 2:2, and the important battle of Tianwang Mountain will likely determine which team of people on both sides go home to fish

In the fifth game between the Cavaliers and the Bulls, Chen Jiyuan got 23 points, 14 rebounds and 9 assists, and the Bulls' package tactics helped Chen Jiyuan get a lot of assists, and James scored the highest score of 28 points today, Gibson's three points were not allowed today, and he only scored 9 points

On the Bulls side, Gordon's table today is very average, 18 points, and the number of jรน may not be bad for others, but Gordon is difficult to help the team in terms of organization and rebounding, and the biggest role is to cut points, and now Gordon's 9 of 19 shooting rate today does not look miserable, but he has not played the task he should do, Deng is still so steady, 19 points, 10 boards, two double-doubles, Hinrich also has 17 points and 8 assists, Wallace has another duck egg finish, although he grabbed 15 boards, but Wallace is weak on the offensive end, And now the role on the defensive end is not as obvious as in the Pistons' tactical system, so it can be said that this year's Wallace has gone downhill in his career

At the same time, the Mavericks managed to win the battle against the Jazz and looked like they were promoted, and Terry's play was the key to the win, which helped the Mavericks win the game when Nowitzki was out of shape

Although the Jazz now only have a 16% chance of qualifying, the strong-hearted Utah people will not give up this 16% chance Note: Historical statistics show that the team that won the Battle of Tianwang Mountain has an 84% chance of advancing

When the game is over, the Cavaliers players began to wait for the winner of the Pistons and the Nets, tomorrow is the battle between the two sides, I believe it will be very exciting, whether Carter can continue to run wild, and whether the Pistons can rely on team basketball to defeat God's superstar again

No one knows what Carter is crazy about this year, and it was still good in the regular season, but after the playoffs, the numbers suddenly began to change, and the assists and rebounds both decreased slightly, but the most important change was Carter's scoring, in this playoffs, Carter averaged 37.2 points per game, which is really crazy, even James saw Carter's table in the playoffs and said: "It's not a person in the regular season", and now Chen Jiyuan doesn't want to be as confident in the Nets as before

The next day, the game between the Nets and the Pistons officially began, this is a focus of the battle There will be two battles of Tianwang Mountain today, one is the game between the Pistons and the Nets, and the other is the game between the Suns and the Spurs, but the other battle of Tianwang Mountain is a little worrying, because of the absence of Stoudemire, the prospects of the Suns are not optimistic

And the game between the Pistons and the Nets did not disappoint people at all, Carter continued to go crazy, the Pistons still played rigorously and efficiently, and the two sides carried out a scoring contest in the first quarter 36:34 The Pistons led slightly a little, and the Nets relied on Carter to score points, but the Pistons were fully fired

At this time, Carter was resting off the court, at this time Jefferson may have been inspired by Carter, and in the second quarter Jefferson's offense was also very strong, although it was not as crazy as Carter, but at least this made the Nets not be pulled away by the Pistons, and the turning point of the game was that Carter played frequently after Carter came on the court in the third quarter, and it was obvious that there was a problem with the hand, but the Pistons were indeed methodically executing Brown's tactics, or Brown's order, the Pistons took advantage of Carter's dumb fire for a few minutes, and quickly pulled the score apart. The Pistons went into the fourth quarter with a 16-point lead

It is not so simple to recover 16 points from the Pistons in the first quarter, and in the end, the Nets were unable to get the score back, and finally lost to the Pistons with a four-point gap of 98:102, and the Pistons led the Nets a little bit on the way to promotion.
