Forward to the basket

In fact, the playoffs have never been too obvious. The teams that can survive after 82 regular season games are not too weak. They are all worthy of a battle. That's all.

This is the case with the confrontation between the Magic and the Pistons. Although the Pistons are the top of the Eastern Conference, in the regular season contest with the Magic, they failed to get a record of victory. They only had three wins and one loss in four games.

In the game they lost, the Magic lacked the big guy Howard, and the Pistons failed to capture their opponents on the road. They were embarrassed by Grant Hill and Turkoglu with a three-pointer.

In the remaining three games, the gap between the two sides is not too big, and the Pistons can win by three to five points in each game.

Compared with the Magic, the Pistons, whose entire team operates more rationally, wins in terms of defense and key ball handling. With Billups, the old monster, compared to Nelson's immature, it is always better.

And Howard, whose offensive ability has yet to be developed, is always unable to find his own offensive focus when facing a sophisticated opponent like Rasheed Wallace, and is often tricked by his opponent for consecutive fouls.

It is said that the playoffs are a place to compete for experience, but apart from experience, the Pistons are not very sure of winning the game. The youngsters of the Magic can still pose some threats to them.

So, regardless of whether the Pistons are No. [-] in the Eastern Conference, or whether the Magic are the No. [-] in the Eastern Conference, it is still unknown who will win the final promotion if they really want to collide. This thing really has to be watched.

The same is true for the fights between the other teams. No one dares to assert that the top-ranked teams will definitely win. Like the Cavaliers and Bulls, they may all fall into a tough tug-of-war.

Especially when the Bulls are facing the Heat, it's hard to say whether a group of calves can play the brute force of the regular season, whether Skiles can kill the old and cunning Pat Riley.

After all, O'Neal's deterrence is still there, and Wade's impact is still considerable. It is a bit exaggerated to say that the Bulls' one-vote calves can tie these two guys.

But if the sharp horn hits the Miami man's chest, it is estimated that it will burst into quite a dazzling brilliance.

The new generation wants to stand out and kill the previous champion. This is a very good choice. Whether the defending champion can keep their position depends on whether they can risk their lives and fight fiercely.

It's just that the top-ranked teams now have home court advantage, which is also crucial for the playoffs. It is said that they can show a super-level combat ability in front of home fans. The so-called home field advantage is probably the result that many people are looking forward to. After all, the home field is better controlled.

"It can create pressure on the opponent at home, but at the same time it is easy to increase the burden on ourselves, especially for teams with a lot of young people. They are often tied up by the atmosphere of the playoffs and cannot perform well."

This was the warning issued by the Boston media before the start of the playoffs, but those guys also had good intentions. After all, the Celtics team is mostly juniors, and their experience is indeed relatively short.

Not only are Chen Feng and Rondo the new generation, but even guys like Jefferson and Perkins have very little experience in the playoffs. Rivers can only rely on Pierce, Sprewell and Webb is gone.

The introduction of these two old guys was to prepare for the playoffs. Now it depends on whether these people are good. The most urgently needed experience of the Celtics depends on these old guys.

Players like West and Szczerbiak have been completely reduced to marginal players this season. Whether they can stay in Boston next season is still a very confused question, at least they have not shown the ability to stay.

Although Szczerbiak's scoring data has not declined much, and he can often have 20+ performances on the court, this guy's defense can no longer be described with a colander, it is simply a soft mess.

Therefore, expecting them to break out or perform exceptionally well in the playoffs can only be hoped that the old guy of God will make an exception, and supporting roles such as Ratliff and Allen Ray may not even be able to play.

Although the Celtics rushed so hard at the end of the season that surprised many people, once they entered the big stage of the playoffs, it was a completely different world for Rivers and the others.

Some people even assert that the Celtics, which shined in the regular season, will definitely realize that this new battlefield cannot be easily conquered in the playoffs. It will become very difficult for them to win.

Even Rivers himself is not an old fritter. You must know that in the early days of the regular season, there were still people criticizing why Boston hadn't fired this high-paid, low-energy idiot.

"Could it be that the best coach of the 99-00 season hasn't eaten all his money? A guy who has an annual salary of 500 million but can only lead the team outside the playoffs." comment of.

Even after a season of baptism, the Celtics have returned to the playoffs as the fourth in the Eastern Conference, there are still some diehards who believe that Rivers is not suitable for coaching this veteran team.

"A coach who can lift the Auerbach Trophy in the first season may not be suitable for a city with Auerbach's traces. Now Rivers can't provide much help to the Celtics."

Even if he won the fourth place in the East in the regular season, Rivers could not win the support of too many people. According to those media reporters, with a beast like Chen Feng in his hands, even Thomas could enter the playoffs .

You can say that this is envy, jealousy and hatred, but it also reflects one thing. Neither Pitino nor Rivers could lead the team too far in the playoffs.

Once it comes to the decisive battlefield of life and death, whether the coach's command is appropriate will be a major test, and Rivers gives people the impression that he is more diligent than talented.

"Doug doesn't have the courage of the bishop. His control over the court is far from enough. Especially when confronting strong teams, he is always disrupted by the opponent's adjustments and often falls into a passive position."

The playoffs are a battleground for all-out confrontation. It is the same between players and coaches. Rivers, who can be regarded as a junior, is still inferior to those old fritters like Phil Jackson and Pat Riley. It’s a bit of a loss, and it’s not something that can be made up in the short term. Those so-called critics didn’t say anything wrong.

The flaws of the Celtics are as obvious as their characteristics. Inexperienced, too young, lack of experience in the playoffs, not enough hidden killer moves, and relatively single players and tactics.

Anyway, most people will not be optimistic about this kind of rookie team in the playoffs. Although the Celtics have the deepest background, they are still newcomers to this team and are not worth looking forward to.

Even the gaming company, which always likes to find new ways, offered the Celtics the championship odds this time, only ahead of the Magic and Raptors, and even the Nets had an advantage over them.

This is what most people think. For such a cruel and unusual battlefield in the playoffs, rookies are always cannon fodder, and there are always very few rookies who can break through the siege.

For the old guy, want to be a championship?Then learn from the rookie period, how can you climb to the highest peak in nba without experiencing miserable failures?The journey to the playoffs is destined to not be smooth sailing.

The order of the nba has always been like this. Even the leader of Joe's gang won the championship after seven years of hardships. Can the rest of them be exempted?The little emperor is such an arrogant guy, so he should be dealt with obediently.

The playoffs have always been awkward with geniuses. Iverson just made it to the finals, and those guys like McGrady haven't even been on the big scene of the finals.

Compared to them, Kobe is still lucky, regardless of whether he is hugging his thigh or what, anyway, this guy already has three championship rings, and it is not often to meet a guy as lucky as him.

Although Chen Feng and his team are receiving much attention now, there are also countless people saying that it is already amazing for a rookie to produce such regular season statistics.

But if he wants to rise up in the playoffs, it can only be a dream for the time being, at least those old guys will not stick their necks out and wait for him to chop.

"It is certain that Chen Feng will win the best rookie award. I have no doubts about this, but on the stage of the playoffs, he still has a lot to learn."

Even Murphy, who has always been very optimistic about Chen Feng, will calm his head at this time, and will not make any predictions blindly.

Although Chen Feng's performance in the regular season has exceeded his expectations, but now this is the playoffs!It's not a place where anyone can play Domination!

Those stupid boys of the Celtics team still need more tempering. Things like rising up can't be done overnight.

It is estimated that only Xie Miaomiao is optimistic about Chen Feng and his team's performance in the playoffs. After all, they will definitely win the first round, which is much more perfect than Yao Ming's years in the Rockets.

"Anyway, they won't lose to the Raptors. As for the second round, it depends on luck. However, I think that kid's luck has never been bad. Maybe Boston will really have a breakthrough this season."

Xie Miaomiao is not the kind of reporter who likes to analyze the game objectively. Her prediction of the game is more based on blind trust in a certain person or a certain team. Perhaps, this is a woman's intuition.

Listening to the two reporters who are familiar with him predicting the trend of the playoffs, Chen Feng could only express helplessly, "This game is not played by you, why do you have more hearts than me off the court?"

"I don't know what the outside predictions say, but my goal is very simple. When I meet one, I will kill one. Anyway, I will either kill others or be killed by others. It's just that the results are different."

"I don't know if there is any order in the NBA. Anyway, the guy who is trying to block the way really needs to see if he has the ability. Otherwise, build one and step down, no discussion."

In fact, this is not just what Chen Feng said to two acquaintances, but a whole bunch of Boston animals are thinking this way, order?So what the hell is that?The world is still dominated by winners!

Now that the door to the playoffs is already open, there is no reason to go far in despair, stumbling block?These animals definitely don't mind beating a few more...

The vigor of the Celts and the bald-headed wild boy, how can they be easily underestimated...

(Ibrahimovic's 33-meter barb is decisive and sharp. It's really a halberd at the gate... Hart, the sad man in the background, dare to be tragic?)
