The Overlord of Basketball: 2K Possession

Chapter 373 East and West Finals

In addition to the Heat, the other three teams also ended the Tianwangshan battle one after another.

The Spurs, Suns, and Bulls also won the match point, waiting for the final battle.

On May 5, the Bulls beat the Pacers away in Indiana to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

This also means that the Heat will meet the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Wade and Chen Mo will meet again, and this time, it is also the semifinals.

Can Dwyane Wade jump over a mountain like Chen Mo?

Of course, not many people pay attention to this, unless Wade's fans pay special attention.

Instead, more people care about the duel between Chen Mo and O'Neill.

As one of the two best inside and outside players in the NBA, who can make it to the finals?
Generally speaking, the Heat are stronger. After all, they have advantages from lineup to tactical play.

It's just that the Heat also have weaknesses, that is, how to defend O'Neal?
For O'Neal's defense, it is definitely the key.

Don't look at O'Neal currently averaging only 20.8 points and 8 rebounds in the playoffs.

But his protection for the entire team is still very obvious, and the Heat dare not let him play singles.

This is when O'Neal is still plagued by injuries.

In addition to Wade, Dwyane Wade is currently averaging 27.8 points and 6.6 assists per game.

If Wade and O'Neal cannot be resolved, it will be very difficult for the Heat to win.

Of course, Chen Mo is not bad either, averaging 30.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game, definitely an MVP performance.

Not to mention, there is a large group of helpers beside Chen Mo, Brad Miller, Gary Payton, Antoine Walker, Caron Butler...

These players, in the game, will definitely be able to give Chen Mo a lot of help.

By the way, the Eastern Conference finals between the Heat and the Bulls will start on May 5.

As for the Western Conference, one day later, two teams that advanced to the Western Conference Finals also appeared one after another.

First, the Spurs won the SuperSonics by two points 98:96 in Seattle.

In fact, the Sonics have always had a chance to beat the Spurs and tie the game.

In the last 10 seconds, the score was tied between the two sides, and at this time, Duncan stood up.

With the help of Ginobili's pass, Duncan completed the lore and killed the game.

Ray Allen's last three-pointer missed, and he had no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit of failure.

The Suns' away game against the Mavericks was also very anxious. In the end, the Suns won the game 130:126.

I have to say that this score is really high, the two teams combined exceeded 250 points.

At the last moment, the Mavericks didn't mean that they had no chance, but the Suns could grasp it better.

In the end, the two opponents in the Western Conference Finals were the Suns and the Spurs.

The first game of the two teams will start in Phoenix on May 5.

On the day of the game, the Heat deliberately picked out the time to observe the first game of the two teams.

For the two opponents who may advance to the finals, the Heat are still very concerned.

As a result, the Suns were almost beaten at home in the first quarter of the game.

The first is the offense. Facing the mature defensive system of the Spurs, the Suns' offense suddenly misfired.

In the first quarter of the game, the Suns only made 25 of 9 shots, and their shooting percentage was only 36%.

Perhaps, the Suns' offense is very strong, especially under the current rules, the offense is very smooth and crazy.

But this method can only be used in the regular season, when facing ordinary teams.

In the playoffs, it's not that easy.

First of all, the confrontation intensity in the playoffs is higher, and the opponents they face are also stronger.

Facing a sudden high-intensity defense, it is not so easy for the Suns to adapt to the game.

As a team famous for its offense, once there is a problem with the offense, the result is self-evident.

You know, in addition to the offense is very good, the Suns' defense is almost nothing.

This kind of defensive strength is a big problem in the regular season, let alone the playoffs.

In the whole game, 4 Spurs players scored 20 points. How do you say the Suns played?
In the second and third quarters, the Suns recovered their form in time and brought the offense back.

Nash and Stoudemire scored points one after another, and even tied the score at one point.

It has to be said that the offensive firepower of the Suns is really strong.

However, in the fourth quarter, at the final decisive moment, the Suns were still losing.

Where did you lose?

It's simple, it's defense.

In the fourth quarter, the Spurs made 22 of 16 shots, 73% shooting, and scored 43 points in a single quarter.

Under such circumstances, how can you win?

"Defense wins the championship. This sentence is too absolute, but without defense, it is impossible to win in the playoffs."

Pat Riley watched the game with everyone, and said this sentence with some sighs.

In fact, he is also a very good defensive coach, but he does not believe in defense.

He understands that defense is very important, but it is impossible to win a championship with defense alone.

Chen Mo also nodded and said, "That's right, the Suns' tactics are too extreme, and the tactical status of defense is too low."

Stan Van Gundy said with a smile: "Of course, if the Suns play well, it is really possible.

Let me tell you, they didn't have a chance today. There were too few three-pointers, and the Spurs blocked their three-pointers. "

"I'd like to meet the Suns in the finals."

"Don't even think about it, it seems unlikely at the moment."

"Hey, facing the Spurs, facing Duncan, this game is really difficult to play."

……

It's not that I lost by a big score, everyone is still very easy to evaluate, after all, watching the excitement is not a big deal!
It's just that it seems a bit too early to think about the finals now.

No, Pat Riley immediately spoke up and said: "Now, what you need to consider is tomorrow's game, not other things."

Pat Riley's voice was very serious, and everyone fell silent immediately, preparing to leave.

However, Pat Riley's voice is still very effective, at least able to keep everyone's attention on the game against the Bulls.

October 8, Miami, American Airlines Center Arena.

"Chen, we are going to face the Bulls soon. Do you have confidence in this game?"

"During the offseason, you actually had the opportunity to join forces with Shaq, do you feel it's a pity now?"

"Chen, facing Dwyane's challenge, will you respond in the game?"

……

As expected of the NBA, as expected of the Eastern Conference finals, a large group of reporters had already gathered outside the arena.

Chen Mo was sitting in the car, it was really difficult to move an inch.

"Of course we are very confident, but the situation in the game is ever-changing, and no one is absolutely sure?"

"Dwyane's challenge? This is a good thing. We are friends, friends who can improve each other."

……

Chen Mo answered two questions casually, and entered the arena under the escort of security guards.

He still has to warm up, prepare for training, and the team also needs to make tactical arrangements. He has no time to waste here.
