NBA super point guard

The playoffs are about to begin.

east:

Cavaliers vs. Bulls.

Magic vs. Bobcats.

The Eagles play the Bucks at home.

Celtics vs Heat.

west:

The Lakers play the Spurs at home.

Mavericks vs. Thunder.

The Suns face the Trail Blazers.

The Nuggets host the Jazz.

In the Western Conference, because the Thunder won the Trail Blazers and successfully avoided the Lakers, reducing the risk of being out in the first round, the Spurs, the most troublesome opponent, was handed over to the Lakers.It is not easy for the Blazers to play against the Suns. The cooperation of Nash and Stoudemire can easily break through the Blazers' twin-tower defense.

The Nuggets and the Jazz are similar, and the configuration of the two sides is equal, and some competition is indispensable.

Experts predict that the Nuggets may have to play about six games to decide the winner. This is because Kirilenko is not counted. Only the Jazz of Deron and Boozer lack a strong point.

On the contrary, the Spurs have the risk of the first round. Parker's injury recovery problem made Popovich choose to rest in the last few games, and he couldn't perform normal rotation in the game. He didn't play much time. Parker's health problems caused The Spurs are facing the Lakers, and the odds are good.

Jason Kidd is getting older and more demonic, and the Thunder are more worried about field control.

Like the Thunder, the Mavericks suffer at the fifth position, and the two sides compete more with backcourt players. It is relatively easier for the Thunder to find a way to limit Nowitzki.

But it's just easy. If you want to win against the Mavericks, the Thunder's configuration is obviously not enough.

The East is relatively simple.

There is absolutely no suspense between the Cavaliers and the Bulls. Rose's offensive ability is very strong, but it is obviously not enough to face No. 1 in the league. Although both teams are strong defensive teams, the Cavaliers are still stronger in terms of lineup.

The same is true for the other games. As for the Celtics or the Magic, I am afraid that the two teams will have to work harder to enter the next round.

After watching the ESPN experts' predictions on the training ground, the players whispered to each other. Brooks didn't say much, but asked Li Muhua to prepare for the substitute, and then let the players go home and have a good rest.

Regarding this arrangement, Li Muhua felt relieved. The playoffs were different from the regular season. There were always players who had to grab points or organize offensive tactics on the bench. The intensity of the playoffs was too high, and few players could play the entire game.

Two days later, the Thunder traveled to Dallas for a visit to the American Airlines Center.

On April 4, the second day of the playoffs, the Western Mavericks played against the Thunder at home.

In the regular season, the Thunder and the Mavericks both had two wins and two losses respectively. Although there were Nowitzki's absence and Kidd's performance problems, no one felt that there was any suspense in the relatively young Thunder team.

Li Muhua felt that the home court was full of malice. His heart was pounding.

As for the other teammates, they were also a little unnaturally scared by the playoff scene, and the fierce away atmosphere made the players a little uncomfortable.

At the beginning of the game, Durant was asking for the ball to play alone, breaking through the offensive basket frantically.

In many cases, Durant basically has to preserve his physical strength, and basically shoots mid-range jumpers. He doesn't choose to attack with the ball until a difficult game. This is also a method that consumes more energy.

In the first quarter alone, Durant scored 9 points and 3 rebounds, accounting for more than half of the team's shots.

However, at the end of the first quarter, the Thunder only led by two points.

Nowitzki's performance is very stable, scoring 11 points and 2 rebounds. When facing Green, he always pulls out to turn around and shoot jump shots.

A big man is fine and loves to float on the outside. Although many people have been sprayed as a softie, Nowitzki still plays in his own way.

In the second quarter, Li Muhua came off the bench and reached the No. [-] position.

How intense is the playoffs? Only when you are on the field can you really feel it. It is basically all hand-to-hand combat with constant small movements. Although you have prepared yourself mentally, Li Muhua has just passed halftime with the ball. Terry Just scrambled and almost lost the ball.

It's true that defense wins championships.

Any defense can be as light as a thug, as severe as hitting the bone, and if you are not careful, you can be brought down.

For players at the true All-Star level, no one pays attention to the regular season games. Only by experiencing the cruelty of the playoffs can they understand the ferocity of the game. Confrontation is the theme of the NBA.

After Li Muhua came on the field, Jason Terry faced up directly.

This is a dislocation defense, which Coach Carlisle seems to have studied in a targeted manner.

Jason Terry was very smart. After the alignment, he directly leaned close to his body, supported Li Muhua with his knee, then supported Li Muhua's arm with his hand, and pushed the other at his waist, pinching him constantly.

Physically destroy the player's rhythm and affect the overall offensive efficiency.

In the first two days of training, Kalamanda specially arranged for Adams and Mike to do some confrontation training for the players. The usual inconspicuous little tricks in the regular season will be encountered in almost every matchup in the playoffs.

Compared to Collison and Heywood's clumsy entanglement around the basket, Li Muhua really couldn't stand these little moves.

Marion has been fighting with Durant since the first quarter. Because of too much defensive action, he kept pulling his arms and jerseys, and almost had a conflict with Durant.

Although this kind of defensive action is not allowed in the regular season, if a dispute is caused by a small action, it may be in the arms of the Mavericks. The Mavericks have already set the Thunder. It depends on whether anyone is fooled.

Li Muhua was relieved, he just had to hold back and fight as normal.

Anyway, just pinch back when defending for a while.

Westbrook came up to cover, Li Muhua took the ball directly to the right wing and accelerated, his left arm raised his elbow faintly, his body sank, directly against Terry's chest and broke through hard.

On the surface, it seems to be an unconscious breakthrough action.

No referee would be stupid enough to investigate whether this foul was intentional. The playoffs are of this intensity. If it is not a fall or injury, the intense physical confrontation is the highlight of the NBA.

Zha Zha Pachulia is one of the old ball ruffians. Every time he hugs the rebound, he swings his elbows left and right a few times before stopping.

Although Li Muhua's movements were not too big and obvious, they were enough to cause trouble for Terry, and there was a frantic rhythm in his footsteps. When he found this gap, Li Muhua stopped abruptly and accelerated again.

Using the rhythm to break through with the ball is taught by Billups. It does not require explosive power. With the calculation of the super brain, Li Muhua can easily get rid of the chasing players.

No double-teaming, no blocking.

Li Muhua rushed in, Durant immediately threw off Marion, stepped forward to cover, and Nowitzki reached out to help defend from the other side.
