A game of rain is over.

After watching the New York fans, there was a reaction......

That's it?

Before the game began, they thought they were in trouble.

After all, in the first round of the playoffs, the strongest is the New York Knicks, who win by an average of about 25 points per game, and the second strongest is the Magic.

Although the Thunder won the game 4-0, they also won by about 10 points per game.

The Magic won by about 14.5 points per game against the Nets!

This is the Nets with Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Chris Paul and Da Lo!

With the exception of starter J.J. Redick, the other four have All-Star experience......

Playing such a team like this, Rao's arrogant New York fans are feeling the pressure.

Results......

Hey, hey, hey!

New York fans feel like they can study the Eastern Conference Finals opponents in advance.

The league officially announced the best team and best defensive team of the season.

Li Wan was once again selected as the "Best Formation" and "Best Defense Formation"!

This is the third year in a row that he has been a member of the "Double Formation......

This is also the fifth player in NBA history to achieve this achievement, and in addition to Li Wan, the remaining three are: Jordan, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James......

And then there's Dwight Howard!

It is also worth mentioning that Howard has put himself in the top 10 ranks in NBA history after winning this "double team", and he is one of the 10 players who have won the "double team" the most times.

Li Wan is still 1 time away from this goal.

The other players who joined Li Wan in the "best team" were: Kobe, LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Dwight Howard.

The Spurs, who have the best record in the league, have not been selected as the "best team".

This is actually quite rare in the history of the NBA......

The best second team members are: Derrick Rose, Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, Kevin Love, Oden;

Not only did the Spurs not have the names of the players on the first roster, but neither did the second team.

It wasn't until the third formation that the name "Tony Parker" appeared.

None of the Spurs were on the list except for him.

Leonard looked at the list, then at Popovich's "Best Coach" and fell into deep thought:

Why did I come, and what did I depart with?

In addition to Tony Parker, the other three members are: Westbrook, Dirk Nowitzki, Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler.

When Wade saw this list, his heart sank to the bottom......

Since the beginning of the 04~05 season, except for the year when the injury season was reimbursed, he can at least get into the "best three teams", but why is his brother here for two years, and he can't even enter the "best team"?

"With Wade's strength, are you embarrassed to call yourself a giant?"

"Yes! The giants have to get into the best lineup, right? But I've been looking through the 10~11 seasons, and I haven't seen his name! ”

"It's a real hammer, if it weren't for LeBron James's teammates, Wade would be an ordinary All-Star at best, and he wouldn't have the strength of a giant at all!"

"Hurry up and trade Wade, what's the use of him!"

……

Wade suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

If he can't win the championship again this year, or if the "Heat Big Three" ends up "without a championship", he believes that he will definitely see such rumors in the comment section.

Other than that......

What makes him aggrieved is ......

The release of this "best list" can be regarded as locking his entire career, and then he has no possibility of returning to the "boss" position!

A player who can't even get into the "best team", he is still so old, which team is still willing to take him as the core......

It was also at this time that Wade realized what a sacrifice he had sacrificed to give up power!

What does possession mean?

Data!

There is data, when you are 38 years old, others will say that you are old and strong!

The team lost, it was a teammate who couldn't, can you blame us Giegie?

You bring Brother Alphabet and Curry over, and give my Giegie to assist, you see if my Giegie wins the championship!

After a two-day break, the New York Knicks continued to play Game 2 of the series against the Magic.

After being restrained in the last game, Stan Van Gundy meditated hard and finally ......

Wipe out your hair!

Didn't come up with anything......

At the end of an all-nighter, Stan Van Gundy had only one feeling:

Leaving Li Wan, it's really too difficult to coach!

He wants to explain!

Some people, when you're there, you think he's terrible!

When he was gone, I felt that he couldn't do it......

D'Antoni's expression was growing more and more confident.

After reflecting and summarizing the first game, as soon as the second game came up, the New York Knicks' "man-to-man defense" played more easily.

The Magic team was forced to fall into position, and the rhythm of running and bombing could not be pulled up at all.

Joe Johnson can still stand up and help the team bite the score with continuous single goals against Ray Allen, but when the Knicks let Lee Wan switch in front of him in the second half, he will die down again and be silent.

The difference in this game was still opened in the third quarter.

Before the start of the fourth quarter, the New York Knicks' lead was beyond 10 points.

As soon as the fourth quarter began, the New York Knicks began to increase the frequency of "slashing tactics", and after collapsing Howard's mentality, they finally won the second game of the series with a score difference of 116-99, 17 points.

The big score is 2-0!

If the first game is lost, Orlando still has a little bit of anticipation, thinking that the team just didn't expect the opponent to be so cunning in the first game, and when they adjust, they will be familiar with the Knicks' defensive routines.

The Magic team is not the Suns of the year after all!

But at this moment, the results of the second game are out, and they have no reason to continue to lie to themselves.

In terms of the performance of the whole game......

The Magic team, if not the Suns of the year, is not much worse.

The Knicks tactically arranged them clearly, obediently, and without any temper.

Barkley uttered a classic "big truth" in the future: "It seems that Dwight Howard really can't do Li Wan!" ”

Howard heard such an evaluation without fxxk said that in a consequentialist league, no one will care, what the Knicks do to him, they just see who has the last laugh.

Since Li Wan left Orlando, every time the two meet, Li Wan has almost the last laugh.

Although he hasn't completely fallen off the cliff this time, the current situation is here......

Even if he returned to Orlando in the next game, he didn't have the confidence to play a good counterattack.

I'm looking to get match point here.

The other set of matchups in the Eastern Conference semifinals has not started for a long time.

Rose and the Bulls are all thanks, but the Heat lost to the Pacers in Game 6 with a 3-2 lead, tied 3-3, and the first group of "tie-breaks" appeared this year.

No one expected that it would happen in the series between the Heat and the Pacers.

Originally, before the game, everyone thought that at most, 4-1, the Heat would be able to eliminate the Pacers.

Results......

The Pacers have caused so much trouble for the Heat, and the tenacity of this team has exceeded all expectations.

Fate was shrouded in fog, and some public opinion began to spread, with many voices believing that Wade's form had slipped too much this season, seriously dragging LeBron back.

After all, LeBron James averaged 30.6 points, 9.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.9 steals per game in the playoffs, shooting 50% from the field!

The data is directly full, such a performance, you can't always press the pot on him, right?

Wade's performance has declined significantly compared to last season's playoffs, and his average points per game are only about 22 points, and the Heat are playing so hard......

Whose problem, isn't it clear at a glance?

These public opinions confirmed Wade's fears, and in order to prove himself, in Game 7 of the series, he stepped up and scored a series-high 32 points to help the team beat the Pacers 108-100, and the Heat struggled to enter the second round of the playoffs.

Waiting for them there was the Bulls, who had already qualified.

As the dust settles on another set of matchups in the east, the top eight lists in the east and west also have a final result.

The Thunder, who are the fastest to reach the semifinals of the playoffs this season, have already played with the Clippers. At the end of the first game, Carmelo Anthony scored 37 points, beating Kevin Durant's 34 points, and in the end the Clippers only won by 3 points, and the Clippers won one game in this series with a score of 1-0, holding the home court advantage in their hands.

The Spurs also waited for their semifinal opponent - the Los Angeles Lakers and the Grizzlies to fight for 7 games, and finally the Lakers won the "tie-break battle" with the "championship background" and successfully entered the next round.

Tim Duncan fights Kobe Bryant again!

April 30th.

Amway Arena.

Game 3 of the series between the New York Knicks and the Magic came as scheduled.

When the Magic team came out tonight, their faces were full of determination.

2-0 down, they still have 2 chances, but 0-3 down means no more chances, tonight, is their "last fight", they don't want to play the fourth game, lose hope......

The thought of wanting to win seemed to move God, and tonight's Magic team felt very fast, and before the end of the first quarter, they had already hit six three-pointers.

When D'Antoni saw Anderson take Lewis's hand and drift his body to hit the three-pointer into the basket, he knew that the goddess of victory was a little biased tonight......

Finally, the game was over, and the Magic returned to the first game at home, using 19 three-pointers to win the first game of the series, and rewrite the score to 1-2!

After winning this match, even Stan Van Gundy breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, it was a big step for the Orlando Magic to avoid being swept like last year, from 0-4 to 1-4, which looks like the difference between a "sweep" and a "gentleman's sweep".

The New York Knicks accepted the loss with ease.

As a "three-point team", they understand that this is the magic of "three-point shots": sometimes they cause the team to lose, and other times, they surprise the team!

Well......

Sometimes, it also brings some delusions!

For example, after Dwight Howard won the game, his whole mental state completely changed, and when he was training in the team the next day, no matter who he saw, he would rush up, shake the opponent's shoulder excitedly, and spit on the sideways: "We can win, we can win!" Come on, keep up the form from last night, three more games and we'll win! ”

This looks like the sister who sold the house and said to her brother excitedly: "Brother, our family is rich!" ”

Full of sadness.

And this heartache, on the second day, all turned into heartbreak.

On May 2, Game 4 of the series between the Knicks and the Magic began.

The New York Knicks took a more resolute stance in this game, cutting off Steve Nash from others through constant "man-marking" and "pressing", and making the Magic team even look a little impatient in singles.

Including Joe Johnson, no one on the Magic team shot more than 40% from the field in the first quarter!

Stan Van Gundy also wants to "show off", but compared to the defensive resources of the New York Knicks, the Magic are somewhat dwarfed.

The No. 1 position, the No. 3 position, and the No. 4 position, the three positions, are all flawed, and there is no defense at all.

Joe Johnson in the No. 2 position put a lot of play on the offensive end, plus facing Li Wan on the defensive end, even if Howard was on the back guard, he could only barely protect himself......

With such defensive intensity, if you want to "imitate" the New York Knicks to cut off the connection between Li Wan and others, it cannot be said that it is impossible, it can only be said that there is hope!

】

At the end of the first half, the Magic's trail came to 10 points.

Coupled with the Knicks' renewed effort in the third quarter, the difference suddenly exceeded 20 points.

The fourth quarter beeped, 128-100, and the New York Knicks won Game 4 of the series with a new high point margin of this series.

The big score was officially rewritten to 3-1!

It's one game away from eliminating the Magic.

May 4th.

With three match points in hand, the New York Knicks are back on home.

In the other set of matchups in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Bulls and the Heat also played the first game of their series, and the recuperated Bulls failed to withstand the momentum of the Heat, and the latter conquered the home court.

The big score Heat leads 1-0!

Derrick Rose was a little lost in the bag between Wade and LeBron, and only scored 19 points, and the shooting rate was only 39%!

Miami Media Soul posted: "This can also be in the best team, so why can't Wade?" ”

This question brought out Derrick Rose's positive toughness: "I think soon, they will know the answer!" ”

Windy City fans were thrilled by his answer, believing that Derrick Rose would deliver the performance they were expecting and slap Miami media in the face.

The Knicks' return to home game is underway.

In this game, they are obviously rushing to solve the Magic team at home, and the form is coming up very quickly.

There was a 14-0 scoring wave in the first quarter.

In the middle, Stan Van Gundy called a timeout, which couldn't stop the Knicks' momentum.

The Magic team suffered from the "law of conservation of character", and the "unscientific three-point tide" in the third game of the series was all back in this game.

Anderson actually shot a "three-pointer" with a big open three-pointer, which was in stark contrast to his handsome and elegant three-pointer that day.

The first quarter was over, and the game was over for the Magic.

110 to 97, that's the final score.

The New York Knicks beat the Magic by 13 points and won the fourth victory of the series, officially eliminating the Magic with a score of 4-1.

The audience burst into cheers.

Under the light, Howard slowly looked down at his raised hands, and after 5 games, he averaged 14.4 points, 17.6 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game......

His gaze gradually blurred into the lake.

Li Wan beat him to tears again!

Difficult!

It's so hard!

As a devout Catholic, Howard knew very well that he should not question his master, and that he could have the beautiful knife and happy life he has now. It's all the Lord's guidance......

But......

He still couldn't help but want to ask:

The "beast" just wants to win once, what is wrong with the "beast"!

Steve Nash also looked a little dazed, and he suddenly felt as if he had a shackle on his body, and the shackles said "You'll never have a championship!" ”

It's not that he wants to be discouraged, but the current situation:

Lose again to the tactics of 7 years ago!

So he had to be deflated!

Amid the cheers of the audience, Lewan walked towards Stan Van Gundy.

"Coach Anthy" has "worthy of you" written on his face, and losing to Li Wan is not an unacceptable thing for Stan Van Gundy.

On the contrary, it is something that will not be surprising!

He really felt ......

This protégé of his, the best player in the world!

Oran Multimedia reveals their "realistic" side at this time: "The Magic team is once again at a fork in the road of fate!" ”

If they lose to Li Wan once, they will feel that there is still a chance.

Now that they have lost Li Wan again, they won't think like that anymore.

What's more, both times the Magic are building around Howard...... Since Howard can't win with the team...... Then don't waste time and rebuild it!

If they hadn't won the championship in '09, they might have been a little patient now, after all, Howard is still a "double-team" player in the league. There are only 3 such players this season.

Leewan, LeBron James, and Howard, even Kobe Bryant didn't do it this season!

Can a player who is good in attack and defense not hide like a baby bump?

But the problem now is that winning the championship in 09 gave them a taste of the sweetness of the championship, and it decayed too quickly, making them anxious to get back that sweetness, and they became impatient.

The Atlanta media was glad that management made a good deal and traded Joe Johnson early.

The "Eagle King" was almost always a half-time good in this series.

In the first half of the five games, he averaged 12.4 points per game, but he averaged only 5.2 points in the second half...... In addition, he averaged 4 turnovers per game.

Li Wan's defense left him completely breathless.

Especially in the last game, Li Wan, who is more and more familiar with Joe Johnson's routine, let the "Eagle King" only score 2 points in the second half, but sent 3 turnovers.

Although Li Wan won the "Best Defensive Array" for 3 consecutive years, his performance was not very good when facing the league's top scorers.

He shines better on the defensive end with his help defense, supplementation and switching......

is such a player with not so top single defense ability, but he defends Joe Johnson like this, doesn't this mean that the "Eagle King" is old, what else can it be?

The speechless Joe Johnson could only muffle one sentence: "Lee's defensive ability is underrated, I think he is a defender at the level of the best defensive player!" ”

It's a pity that these words, coming out of his mouth, make others feel more like they are excusing themselves and making themselves look less embarrassed.

The New York Knicks made it to the Eastern Conference Finals so smoothly.

At this time, the other group of the Eastern Conference semifinals had just finished Game 2 of the series.

Derrick Rose once again showed his ability to "walk the talk", scoring 32 points in a single game, sweeping away the haze of the previous game and leading the team to the final victory.

The big score was rewritten to a 1-1 draw.

The Chicago media shouted, "Miami, now, do you know?" ”

Speaking of winning this game, the Bulls also have a big hero, that is, "Hamilton who can't run to death", he shot 8 of 14 from the field, cut down 20 points, and helped the Bulls gradually grasp the advantage in the most anxious third quarter of the game.

It is also his constant running, helping Rose again and again, opening up the offensive space, LeBron James and Wade don't dare to focus all their attention on Rose in this game, otherwise Hamilton raised his hand and made a shot, and by the way, reported his zodiac sign: Clay people!

On the Western side, the Spurs and the Lakers have played 3 games, the Spurs lead 2-1, the only game the Lakers won, Kobe Bryant scored 32 points, and in the other two games, Kobe Bryant's score did not reach 30 points, and the team did not resist at all, which made the Spurs have the last laugh.

If the regular season and the first round of the playoffs have exposed the Lakers' overall instability, then the current game against the Spurs is ......

It's even more completely exposed!

The three games, without exception, were all played, and they became Kobe Bryant vs Spurs, and if the "Black Mamba" could soar, then win; If you don't do it, you lose!

In addition, Leonard, who is only a first-year this year, did give Kobe a lot of interference on the defensive end.

Just having those hands in front of Kobe Bryant was enough for him to break the defense......

God, can you be a little fairer, this guy is about the size of one hand, and he's about to catch up with the size of my two!

You can really be so eccentric!

On May 10, the Spurs won Game 4 of the series and managed to change the score to 3-1!

The Lakers stood on the edge of a cliff......

To make matters worse, the next game of the series is played at the home of the Spurs.

After the game, he said, "We're definitely going back to Los Angeles with a win!" ”

Can......

The old and spicy Popovich has already figured out the lifeblood of this Lakers team in the first four games.

In the fifth game, he made continuous substitutions to speed up the offensive tempo, which caused problems in the Lakers' rotation, and easily defeated the Lakers 99-77, 22 points.

4-1！

The Spurs eliminated the Lakers and entered the Western Conference Finals!

At 3:45 of the fourth quarter, the Lakers trailed by 26 points.

Phil Jackson saw that the tide was gone and replaced Kobe Bryant.

This scene is very similar to last year's finals.

But there are differences......

For example, at that time, Kobe Bryant's eyes were full of desire for revenge, and his eyes were blazing.

And now......

His head bowed......

This season's Lakers team, even Kobe, who has the "Mamba spirit", has little confidence in next season......

He didn't dare to look up, he was afraid that what he saw was the end of his era!
