Chapter 458: The playoffs continue
The Knicks won the first game with ease.
The Heat were pressed and beaten throughout the game, and in this game, the Heat really didn't see any hope of winning, and now the team's morale can be said to be the lowest point, losing the game, and being beaten so badly.
However, how to improve the morale of the team and how to regain the morale of the team in the next game is what the team leaders and the team coaches should do.
In this first playoff game, Lefu was still quite nervous, only got 9 points and 8 rebounds in the whole game, and his performance was completely out of order, but fortunately, it did not affect the team's victory.
Chen Jiyuan scored 27 points and 13 rebounds. In the face of such a combative team, Starkey and Crawford naturally will not forget to distract themselves. When on the court, Starkey and Crawford have a very strong desire to attack, and the two scored 29 points and 21 points respectively. The Knicks scored in their 20s with three men. Sessions also had 10 points, eight rebounds and 13 assists.
Nearly got a playoff triple-double. Two rebounds are missing.
On the Heat's side, Wade was completely blocked, and the repeated bombing of Nick Stony Allen and Stephen Jackson did not give Wade a chance to breathe at all. In the end, Wade scored only 19 points and shot a measly 7-of-22 from the field. The Heat were left with only Michael Beasley scoring double-doubles. Michael Beasley scored 10 points. It's kind of a chat to comfort the Heat, and the Heat can comfort themselves like this, and I'm betting on Beasley for the future. However, although the future will prove them wrong.
However, in fact, now Riley has no intention of winning the championship in the recent period, Riley is not a person without self-knowledge, what kind of lineup is the Heat, how much strength does the Heat's lineup have, he is very clear, this lineup does not have the possibility of ZĂ i being able to win the championship at all.
Riley was already planning that earth-shattering event right now. The composition of the Heat's Big Three is an idea that has been around for many years, and Riley is working on it.
Wade, Bosh, and James all signed three-year contracts, and they can all make their own choices in 2010, which is the best chance to chase stars, and if successful, then the Heat's terrifying Big Three will become a nightmare for everyone in the league.
What the Heat need to do now is to ensure a certain level of ratings, as well as a little bit of traction. In this way, as long as the Big Three succeed, then the Miami Heat will be able to counterattack in an instant.
This is a dick - Pat Riley's counterattack plan A.
And after facts have proved that Pat Riley in his previous life was indeed a successful counterattack with this method and became a rich and handsome man who missed. But later he became a handsome and ugly man because of bankruptcy. The word that men are most attracted to women, the rich word, Pat Riley lost this rich word, and the attractiveness of the Heat team naturally decreased greatly.
On this day of the Knicks' first game, there are also games going on at the same time as the New Orleans Hornets and Denver Nuggets, the Utah Jazz and the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Orlando Magic and the Atlanta Hawks.
The game between the New Orleans Hornets and the Denver Nuggets ended in a big win for the Nuggets, and the Denver people taught the Hornets a hard lesson on their own turf. Hornets Paul's play is still relatively good, relatively normal, Paul shot 7 of 19, scored 21 points and handed out 11 assists, but the interior dependence, David West only scored 12 points, and 6 rebounds, this is not the biggest problem, the biggest problem is David West's 16 shots. Hit 4 of them.
On the Nuggets side, Billups exploded, and in this game, Billups not only contributed his strength on the defensive end, but also broke the opponent on the offensive end. Billups scored 36 points and made 8 of 9 three-pointers, which made Nima's shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage kill the Hornets. Billups' long play left the Hornets with no chance at all, and they could only obediently admit the defeat of the game.
The game between the Jazz and the Lakers is not very interesting, although the Jazz Boozer played well and got 27 points and 9 rebounds, but the problem is that how Boozer can be blown up by the opponent how to blow up the opponent, Pau Gasol also got 20 points and 9 rebounds on Boozer's head. And these 20 points were scored in only 11 shots, while Bryant's also scored 24 points, Ariza scored 21 points, and these three people went to 20 to help the Lakers still win the game.
Although the Jazz's star Deron Williams got 16 points and 17 assists, but the shooting rate of 4 of 14 is not very good, Deron Williams has not been an efficient representative, and Delon Williams has never relied on scoring to change the shape of the court, Delon Williams throughout his career, only one year has averaged more than 15 shots per game, that is the 2011-12 season, that year Delon Williams has been shooting more than 15 times per game, that year, Delon Williams has never been able to make more than 15 shots per game, that year Delon Williams has never been a representative of efficiency. Williams finished his first full season with the Nets averaging 17.5 shots per game and shooting 40 percent from the field.
Deron Williams has always been the kind of guy who makes it his job to lead the team forward, and he's that kind of point guard.
However, the Black Eight Miracle in this world is very, very rare, or the Black Eight itself would not be called a miracle.
So, as the No. 1 place in the West, the Lakers were able to win against the Jazz, which is honestly not surprising at all, or this is the right thing to do.
In the remaining game between the Magic and the Hawks, the Warcraft Howard was under Horford's defense, which was okay, after all, Horford was only a sophomore guy, and there was still a slight gap between the height of Horford and Howard, and the Hawks' deformed lineup made Horford have to play misplaced every night. Of course, this will make Horford a little uncomfortable, although Horford later relied on his own efforts to successfully reverse these unfavorable conditions.
However, if you want to compete with the Warcraft Howard now, it is obviously too early for Horford, and the future is difficult to say, but at least the current Horford is difficult to deal with Howard, Howard is not only stronger than Horford, but also not weaker than the inferior in flexibility.
In Game 1, Howard scored 31 points and grabbed 16 rebounds. Horford, on the other hand, had seven points and six rebounds.
Although on the outside line, Josh Smith is a super fast moving power forward, and Josh Smith is still the kind of guy who is very strong in helping to defend and make up for defense, so Lewis played very uncomfortable in normal games, and Josh Smith finally got a double-double of 23 points and 10 rebounds. But it didn't help the team win.
The Hawks' star watch was a bit hurt, and Joe Johnson scored just 13 points on 6-of-18 shooting. It's a lot of excitement for the team.
In addition to Howard, the Magic's other starters also scored in double figures, with Lewis scoring 11 points, Ralph Alston 13, Turkoglu 14 and Courtney Lee 18.
The Magic's defense put the Hawks in a big nutshell.
In the end, the Magic won the game with a score of 99:92.
This game is the most suspenseful, because in the fourth quarter of the game, the scores of the two sides are still quite close, not that the Hawks have no chance to win, but the most critical balls, after being missed by Joe Johnson, the Eagles' hope of winning is gone. Especially in the final minute, Joe Johnson's three consecutive shots missed the last glimmer of hope for the Hawks to win.
There's no doubt that the Magic are better than the Hawks, because the Eagles are a team with a bunch of people up front, and it's just a sloping sloppy. How can a cripple run faster than a normal person?
The Eagles are really the kind of team that Riley calls five swingmen.
However, even if it is a god operator, it does not mean that every word of his words is true. The management of the Eagles doesn't need to worship Riley so much.
Now, the first game of the first round of the playoffs is over.
There were no surprises on the eastern side. The first four all won the bottom four, and even except for the magic game, the rest was not suspenseful at all. The Knicks, Celtics, and Cavaliers all played opponents who didn't have a temper at all.
The game continues. The next day, the Knicks had a day off, but on the other side, the Celtics and Bulls game was played again. There was still no suspense, and the Celtics won the game again. The Bulls still didn't have much to fight back. This game is really not interesting, with Garnett and without Garnett, the Celtics are two completely different teams. Garnett's meaning to the Celts is too heavy.
Also on April 20, the game was played between the Mavericks and the Spurs, in which the Spurs managed to win the game on their home court, and it was a 21-point victory. Parker scored 38 points on 16-of-22 shooting from the field and led the team to victory, while the Mavericks didn't even have a man who scored more than 20 points. Nowitzki and Kidd both scored 14 points, and John Terry scored 16, the team's highest score.
The Spurs pulled back a run at home, but in Dallas, the Spurs would have to get a win in Dallas to regain home-court advantage.
