No one could have imagined that Philadelphia and Boston, two teams that were considered to be defensive powerhouses two years ago, could collide with such graceful sparks.
On the other side, in the west, a very interesting phenomenon was produced in the semi-final confrontation the next day.
"Suns and Mavericks score so low?!!"
After watching the game and ending the exciting shouting and roaring, Chen Mu and his teammates felt a little confused when they saw the score at a glance.
88-85, the Phoenix Suns and the Dallas Mavericks, two teams known for their wild offense, played such a low score, which is really enough.
"Well, I'll take a look at ......"
Although he doesn't care so much about his stats, his shots and passing choices make people want to pluck his ears and scold him angrily, "Don't you kid care about the hit rate and turnovers at all?" Yes!! But Curry is still quite partial to data, and he is always the first to take out his phone to check the data after the game.
This also makes Chen Mu like it very much, Chen Mu himself is quite sensitive to data because of playing games and other reasons. Even though most of the time, this desire and liking for data is compared to the fanatical pursuit of victory, but overall, Chen Mu is still a person who likes to look at data analysis data.
"Dirk and Smalls are more normal, I mean the offensive end, the others are ......"
Curry looked at the data, shook his head with a smile, and said, "It's all out of order." ”
"Is it out of order......
Listening to Curry's words, Chen Mu fell into deep thought, looking at the players who were hugging each other on TV, he always felt that something was wrong.
It's not an offensive aberration!
With Nash urging on one side, which one of the outside line Hill Richardson is not a good player? Which one of the inside line Showard Jr. is not a beast? This kind of team will be dysfunctional on the offensive end??
On the other side, the old demon Kidd is in charge, Dirk leads the attack, from Terry to Marion, from Baria to Butler, which is not a good offensive finisher? This kind of team will be offensive aberration??
Definitely not an aberration.
It's because it's too familiar.
The Mavericks and Suns, two of the West's long-standing "wild" teams, are unlikely to be completely offensive throughout the game.
The problem is defense.
Because I am familiar, because I am very familiar with everything about each other, because there are too many players in each other, I have played in the opponent's team, I have worked with the opponent's players.
Therefore, when these two teams collide, the concentration and pertinence on the defensive end are incomparable to those facing other teams.
Kidd made a name for himself with the Mavericks, gradually became the No. 1 point guard in the Suns, and then returned to the Mavericks in the Nets' highlight moments. The Suns' style of play and the "team character" of the point guard who drives everything are all too familiar to Kidd.
Nash grew up next to Kidd and rose to the top of his game after the Mavericks became an All-Star and returned to the Suns. For Dirk, for the Mavericks, for Kidd, Nash is very familiar.
In addition, Marion is a veteran of the Suns and can also provide a lot of tactical support for the team.
This kind of interrelationship between the two players can even judge what the opposing player is going to do and what he is going to do in an instant.
It's already their instinct.
So in addition to the defensive end, Dirk and Xiaosi, who are both the league's former No. 4 top gods, complete each other's explosions on the offensive end. The players in other positions are almost all blocked.
What about the said good eastern meat grinder? What about the said Wild West?
What the hell is this messing with??
Commentators have their own opinions and opinions, especially surprised that the Mavericks can win their first game on the road.
But Chen Mu knew that in this year's series, the Mavericks were estimated to still lose.
But next year, as long as the Mavericks can complete that crucial signing, the strength of the team will immediately change.
They just lack a guy who jumps like thunder on the inside, arsons and kills people everywhere, and from time to time contributes blood-pumping caps and violent buckles.
That guy is now at a small low point in the ups and downs of his career, waiting to be redeemed.
What could be more wonderful than such a story?
"That's the beauty of basketball!"
Chen Mu smiled and nodded, and went to training.
On the other side, the Lakers' game against the Trail Blazers also ended on the day.
The incomparably powerful Lakers played a devastating dominant performance against the fast-growing Trail Blazers. scored 118 points in the whole game, although it was also scored 100 points by the Trail Blazers, but in terms of court performance and strength, the difference between the grades of the two teams has been reflected.
The only thing that made Chen Mu pay some attention was the center of the Trailblazers, Oden.
After entering the league in 2007, he once crushed all rookies and became the top of everyone's expected list. Now in McMillan's slow half-court offense and defense, and the combat system dominated by covering jump shots, it has not played its most role.
He is a beast of prey, a beast of prey that has traveled from time immemorial. Although in the years since he entered the league, Oden has experienced some minor injuries. But Chen Mu knows very well that as long as the emperor's knee does not have problems, after this run-in period, he will be at the peak of the defensive center, and it will really come.
The Pioneers are a circus with countless beasts, and the circus owner has no ambitions, just wants to take the beasts to perform a fire ring jump, earn some ticket money, and get some shouting and cheering.
But the strength of the beasts is definitely not just as simple as jumping into the fire ring.
All it takes is a good enough leader to turn the whip in his hand into a magical staff and pass that word to the ears of the beasts.
The pioneer beast herd will take off completely.
"Go, you're more than that."
Cheeks, the most suitable coach for the Trail Blazers, imaginable, has his staff held high and the word ambition written all over his face.
"Break free from the cage, conquer the whole world, and let all living things lament and tremble under your claws!"
How long will it take for that time to come?
Chen Mu thought so, the basketball practice in his hand continued, and he remembered the other two teams in his mind.
Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Clippers.
The situation on the Thunder's side is somewhat similar to that of the Trail Blazers, with a burst of talent, but the strength of the coach restricts the team's ceiling. The growth of the players will become more and more terrifying, but without the right guidance, it is difficult for them to become the real hegemon.
On the Clippers' side, a commander has been waiting.
One of the strongest brains that can allow Blake Griffin, a flying griffin, to completely conquer the world.
Even if there is no Jordan Jr., as long as the Clippers can complete a sufficiently amazing reinforcement at the center position, after getting that elf-like little man who seems to be possessed by Isaiah Thomas, the glory era of the Clippers will come sooner or later.
What Alexander!
Chen Mu knows that this year's playoff challenge is just the beginning. In less than two years, more formidable opponents will emerge.
Especially the Rossoneri, who were on the coast and were blazing with flames, if that happened......
But the corners of Chen Mu's mouth were smiling.
What else in this world is more exciting than challenging a strong enemy?
Another day, the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs continues.
The Cleveland Cavaliers and Hawks game started first, and after more than two hours of fierce battle, the Hawks missed a chance to equalize at a crucial moment. Joe Johnson's lethal strike is so steady and terrifying on weekdays. But after LeBron's god went down to the hot pot once, it completely became a bright moon in the water, and no matter how he fished it, it was impossible to catch it.
After that, the game between Philadelphia and Boston, the second, continued to fight.
"Toot!!"
At the end of the three-hour game, Philadelphia and Boston finally returned to the familiar routine.
The two teams, which have terrifying strength on the defensive end, no longer engage in any Rausch's strange lineup deployment, they just play hard and hard.
Ray Allen, who had a pretty good outside touch in the last game, did not play well in this game. But Pierce, who was only 8 of 25 shots from the field last time he was defended by Iguodala, turned on superstar mode.
Mid-range step-back jumper, steal on the defensive end, convert offense to crush layups, feint to cheat foul free throws, score points in a wonderful rhythm of back-to-back singles, and continue to live with three-point cold arrow firepower......
Pierce became the most dazzling superstar in the whole game, and even compared Chen Mu, who won the double twenty again on the other side. The bad feel in the last game has finally returned and even increased.
He shot 16 of 22 from the field, and the shooting percentage was ridiculously high. In addition to their exaggerated personal touch, the Celtics' strategy of returning to their roots and handing over almost all of the offensive fire to Pierce has also been successful.
Hitting 14 of 15 shots from the free-throw line, Pierce's lethality on the Philadelphia defense was also evident. once forced Chen Mu to the end, which greatly affected Philadelphia's sustained combat effectiveness.
With a game-high score of 42 points, Paul Pierce chewed gum and looked at the scoreboard coldly, which became a nightmare for Vachovia this night.
The Boston Celtics won the game 92-87, and Philadelphia missed a great opportunity to win 2-0 at home, and the third game will be moved to Boston.
In this game, two players who were not much talked about (because their teammates were so dazzling, not how bad their strength was) were the winners and losers of their respective teams in the subsequent series.
Dakomilisic likes this kind of slow attacking and defensive rhythm of the game. scored a double-double of 19 points and 11 rebounds in the whole game, and when Chen Mu was not there, he once won the team's hope of victory.
Rajon Rondo, standing behind Pierce, is a point guard doing all the dirty work, with 18 points, 8 rebounds and 15 assists in the game, acting like Jason Kidd in his prime.
And the process of the third game has once again proved that this round of the series is definitely not as simple as people think.
