The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 440 [Striker has an advantage, two consecutive victories at home]

Against the Clippers, the Mavericks obviously suffered from the outside line. Once Ye Feng and Smith played, they dared not deploy two guards, otherwise they would not be able to defend.

There is no player more depressed than Rodrigue Beaubois. In this series, he has been marginalized and difficult to get a chance to play.At this time the year before last, he was still regarded as the future star of the Mavericks.

The arrival of Deron Williams is a very critical turning point for Beaubois.At that time, he was optimistic that he might surpass Devin Harris, but now he has become the third substitute in the 1st position, which is disastrous.

Three years old and old, some experts have concluded that if a player has not been able to exchange the potential check into enough cash in the third year of his career, then unless this person is called Billups or Nash, there is almost no hope in this life Great achievements will be made in the future.In other words, this season is Beaubois' last chance to transform.But he became a drinking fountain watchman.

In the third quarter, Beaubois finally got the chance to play, played 5 minutes, made 4 of 0 shots and scored no points.The Clippers relied on the impact of Ye Feng and Smith to take the initiative.

Marion was troubled by a foul and went off to rest, and the Mavericks' striker suddenly had a problem, so Vince Carter had to be on top.During the regular season, the two-guard tactics played smoothly, which made the Mavericks ignore a problem.It's too late to think about it now, that is, playing the Clippers requires a strong swingman.

Matt Barnes, who came off the bench for the Clippers, caused a foul by Carter and scored 2+1. The Clippers led 83 to 66 and ended the third quarter.In the fourth quarter, the Clippers sent their "secret weapon" Isiah Thomas and veteran Grant Hill, and let Ye Feng and Smith take a rest for a while.

Facing Deron Williams, Thomas played a speed advantage.He is responsible for following Terry and has not become a big defensive loophole.Terry's advantage is shooting, not relying on his body to force his opponent, and Terry has no physical advantage.The Clippers continued to master the situation.

When Ye Feng came on the court, the Mavericks only recovered 4 points by starting and playing the Clippers as a substitute, and the point difference was still more than 10 points.After Ye Feng came on the field, he started to play singles. The Mavericks had no choice but to double-team him. Gasol and Love got a chance and made a jump shot.In the last 3 minutes, the Clippers led by 18 points. The Mavericks gave up chasing points. Both sides replaced the main players and entered garbage time.

In the first game, the Clippers defeated the Mavericks 103 to 88.In this round of the series, the Clippers' defensive strength has improved, but the combined defense of the Mavericks DeAndre Jordan and Seraphim is also better than that of the Jazz in the first round, and the Clippers did not score too many points.

Ye Feng scored 25 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists, once again hitting the stats of a point guard.Pau Gasol led the team with 28 points and 12 rebounds.Jordan's specialty is blocking shots, but he can't defend against Gasol's back attack. The two faced off and the veteran won.

Commenting on the game, Barkley said that with Ye Feng and Gasol as two offensive strengths, it would be difficult for the Mavericks to win a game.The offense of the two teams is very smooth and can play a lot of cooperation. In contrast, the personal ability of the Clippers star is stronger.Nowitzki is indeed old. The Clippers don't need to double-team him, and one-on-one defense can limit his shooting percentage.

After a day off, the second game between the two sides continued at the Clippers' home court.The Mavericks played proactively this time. They played an 8-0 shock wave in the opening game. There was something wrong with Ye Feng's touch. He missed three shots in the opening game. He immediately changed his shot to a breakthrough. Efficiency was quickly improved.

In the low post, Nowitzki has no speed in defense, Ye Feng can face up to attack, Marion is not strong enough in defense, Ye Feng can use his strength and height to overwhelm him.In the first quarter, Ye Feng scored 12 points and attracted the defense to send out three assists. Moreover, Ye Feng went to the low post to attack, and Gasol and Love's offensive dislocation advantage on the outside was even more obvious.

Deron Williams was restricted again in this game. He has 21.3 points and 8.8 assists this season. His scoring has increased and his assists have decreased. The opponents know how to cut off the connection between the Mavericks' inside and outside lines. Deron is more for inside players. Instead of playing the pick-and-roll offense he was more familiar with when he was in the Jazz, Ye Feng defended very well one-on-one. The Mavericks mainly relied on Nowitzki and Marion to attack.

Marion is actually the second scorer of the Mavericks. If anyone in 2011 experienced the most amazing transformation in his career, most people would vote for Sean Marion.He has been an off-the-ball offensive player since entering the league. After more than ten years, he actually practiced back hitting and hit Smith several times.

However, Marion's post-hitting action is more blood-sucking than his shooting form.
The Clippers have established a relatively large advantage in the three quarters of the game, giving full play to their own advantages.The Mavericks replaced Seraphim and Nowitzki, and the Clippers tried their best to break fast. Once Ye Feng and Smith quickly broke into the paint, the Mavericks could only use fouls to stop them.Their physical fitness is too good to defend one-on-one. If there are too many striker fouls, the game will be more difficult to play.

Now many experts believe that Josh Smith is the second head of the Clippers. He has strong defense, high offensive efficiency, and good rebounding ability.As long as he is on the court with Ye Feng, it is almost impossible for the Clippers to be defeated.The Clippers reached the second round in the first season of rebuilding, relying on the impact of the two on the front line.At that time, Smith needed to play the 4 position, and Love did not grow up.Now that he is liberated to the 3rd position, his role is even greater.

The Clippers won another game 113 to 97 and easily gained a 2-0 advantage. The Mavericks could not escape the fate of being eliminated. Now they only hope to win a game after returning to the home court to save face.

The other three rounds of the series are also in progress, and the Heat and the Pacers became 1-1.

The heat lost Bosh in the first game. He strained his abdominal muscle when he landed on a dunk. After the diagnosis, Bosh was absent "indefinitely". , But once he is missing, the Heat's weakness becomes more obvious.The Heat's inside line is already a weakness, but now it is worse.In desperation, the Heat adjusted the starting lineup, allowing Turiaf to start, and Joel Anthony also got more playing time, but both performed mediocrely, and the Heat played very hard.

The Pacers won the second game 81 to 77, and the Heat, with James, Wade, and Mayo, did not score more than 80.After losing at home, everyone has been disappointed with the Heat, they don't have the slightest chance of being a champion.

The Nets lead the Celtics 2-0.

There are only two of the Big Three of the Celtics. Ray Allen is in a downturn and is put on the bench. Avery Bradley starts. He is only 188cm tall and weighs 82kg. The No. 2 position was defended by Ariza. He played 20 minutes in the second game and didn't score a single point.Ray Allen played 25 minutes off the bench and only scored 3 points and 4 rebounds. Ariza and Battier's outside defense was unbreakable.

The Nets insider Humphries and Scola took turns to deal with Garnett, and the old Garnett has no advantage.Center Dwight Howard over Brandon Bass.The advantage of the Celtics is Rondo and Pierce. This season Rondo's shooting has finally improved and overwhelmed Wall.In the past two years, opponents have always adopted the tactics of emptying Rondo. He got a lot of open shots, shot more, and his touch was also developed.This season, he not only made mid-range shots, but also scored a lot of three-pointers.Wall's shooting is still a mess and needs practice.Pierce also struggled against Butler.

The defense of the Nets is terrible. After a season of running-in, there is a trend of getting better and better. The media said that the Nets beat them in the same way as the Celtics.After that, the Celtics played at home, which was more or less auspicious.

The Western Spurs lead the Thunder 2-0.This result was beyond the expectations of many people. The Spurs supported by veterans made the young and energetic Thunder really feel the taste of ginger and old.Things are in jeopardy for the Thunder right now, and the next game will determine their fate.

Lineup depth is a big factor in the Spurs' success this season.In the series against the Thunder, the Spurs still have the advantage on the bench.In this year's playoffs, the Spurs' bench scored 15 more points per game than the Thunder's, and that's even when the Thunder's James Harden averaged 17 points per game in the playoffs.The Spurs are an aging team, so getting the most out of their roster depth will be a big factor in whether they beat the Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals.

The matchup between Rose and Parker is the most intriguing matchup in this series.Both are players who are good at breaking into the paint and scoring.The Spurs forced Rose into mid-range shots as much as possible.Turning a high-impact scorer into a jumper with much less lethality is another reason for the Spurs' success.

Derrick Rose didn't take advantage of the duel with Tony Parker. He lacked a broad basketball vision, and his scoring skills were not particularly comprehensive. hit rate.Rose's performance is not much better than Westbrook of Ye Feng's previous Thunder.

The Spurs also used quick return defenses to reduce the Thunder's fast break opportunities.Once running in transition, the young Thunder will be unstoppable.So far the Spurs have been able to play according to their own rhythm and plan.

The teenagers Leonard and Stephen Jackson have done a very good job of restricting Durant. If they can maintain it, the opponent of the Clippers in the Western Conference Finals is likely to be the Spurs.Of course, the Thunder still have hope of winning, it depends on whether they can play their own rhythm when they return to the home court. Players other than the "Three Young Thunder" also have to stand up and score.The advantage of the Thunder is their youth. The longer the Spurs play, the more physically disadvantaged the veterans will be.

The Spurs hope for a quick victory. They have ambitions. Only by defeating the Thunder as soon as possible can they recover better and fight the Clippers with all their strength in the Western Conference Finals!
