Chapter 597 Don't admit defeat in the east and west finals

Eastern second round.

Pacers vs. Wizards.The game is inextricable, Paul George and John Wall are both active offensive and defensive superstars in the league.

Everyone is very helpful to the team, but the key to the victory of the two teams is not Paul George and John Wall.

Because the performance of the two is relatively stable.

Even if there is a slight mistake on the offensive end, the defensive end can also contribute what it should. The outcome of the two teams depends mainly on other players.

The Pacers' lineup is obviously stronger. Although the starter Roy Hibbert has been scolded as Gao Yuanyuan, he is still good in strength and strong in frame protection.

David West, George Hill, Stephenson, Scola, Evan Turner and others all played very well.

Relying on their overall strength, the Pacers successfully eliminated the Wizards and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Heat have no suspense against the Raptors.

The Raptors have a good lineup, and the two shots in the backcourt are very fierce.

DeRozan played well in this year's playoffs, with a performance of 40+ in a single game.Although Kyle Lowry did not perform as well in the playoffs as in the regular season, his statistics are also quite impressive.

Unfortunately, I met the Heat.

In the four seasons since the Heat came together with the Big Three, the other teams they have played have doubted their lives.

Yes, the Heat seem to have only won one championship.

However, the influence brought by the grouping of the Heat's Big Three at their peak is very huge. If other teams and superstars want to win the championship, their first reaction is to group up.

As for leading the team to win the championship alone, forget it! ,

That's too hard.

It can be said that the atmosphere of the league was brought down by the basketball of the three brothers of James.

After all, speaking of it, the Big Three of the Celtics were united at the end of their peak, and they didn't have a few years to play. Even if they won the championship in the first year, they would be powerless in the second and third years. The rest of the league is still relatively tolerant of this kind of behavior.

In this way, the teams for the East and West finals are determined.

In the West, the Mavericks played against the Thunder.

In the East, the Pacers played against the Heat.

This lineup is similar to what the media warmed up.

TNT News, Fox News, major sports news media began to come out to predict the next game of the four teams, and bring a wave of rhythm for themselves by the way:
You see, I have long said that these four teams will enter the finals, right!

Labor and management are so arrogant.

On the 14th, the Mavericks team trained.

Coach Rick Carlisle and other players on the coaching staff arranged for players to run and defend again and again.

"Al, you have to go up. If Diaw is on the court, you don't need to interfere with his shooting. Just hold him and prevent him from breaking through easily."

"Rudy, defense, especially defense against cut layups, is what you are best at. Be sure to defend well."

"Curry, interfere with the shot. Be careful to interfere with the shot. If the opponent breaks through, there will be teammates to help you defend. At this time, you must move in time."

"Cory, you will be the key to this game. The Spurs lineup is too old and can only play half-court offense. Therefore, after you have a chance to steal, you must run. As long as you run, the opponent will lose."

……

In response to the weaknesses of the Spurs, the team conducted special training.

The Spurs are not without weaknesses, at least the defense is too overall, and they will be more helpless when facing players with strong personal abilities.

If the main players play individual offense and the team plays pass and cut cooperation, it is very likely that the Spurs' defense will completely collapse.

On the offensive end, the Spurs are too teamy.

As the GDP combination gets older, the Spurs' offense relies too much on passing and cutting, and it is easy to make mistakes.

In the game between the Spurs and the Thunder, if it weren't for Westbrook being too brainless, the Thunder would have a very high probability of winning.

So, although this round of the series is difficult, it is not hopeless.

The Spurs are not a team that is good at talking, and the Mavericks have no big mouth except Cuban's boss bragging outside.

Before the game, the two teams were very calm.

On the contrary, the Pacers have a high attitude and want to beat the Heat.

The Heat are like a big devil lying in front of the Eastern teams, making the Eastern teams lively.

For four consecutive seasons, no other team in the Eastern Conference has been able to enter the finals, which shows how much resentment the Heat have caused.

On May 5, the Eastern Conference finals began.

At the home court of the Pacers, the Pacers were united as one, leading 1-0. Except for Wade and James who played well, the rest of the Heat successfully staged a scene of how steel is made, so iron that fans doubt life.

From the pitch, the game was really exciting.

The Pacers had six players in double figures, all of whom were soldiers, and defeated the Heat, the common villain of the Eastern Conference teams.

On May 5, the Mavericks played against the Spurs at the American Airlines Center.

In pre-match interviews, the Mavericks kept a low profile.

Nowitzki:

"For the Spurs, we are very familiar with each other. This game is destined to be a test of perseverance. We are ready and hope God is on Dallas."

Qin Yang:

"The Spurs are a very good opponent. They have the greatest combination of the league this century, the best players in the league, and the best coaches. It is very interesting to be able to fight against such an opponent. I am ready for this."

Qin Yang's answer was that my big sword was already too hungry.

Game start.

The Spurs started, Duncan, Tony Parker, Dante Green, Kawhi Leonard, Splitter.

This lineup does not seem to be very strong, and the Spurs have retained a lot of strength.

But actually, it fits really well.

Dante Green was a 3D player when he was in the Kings for a few seasons, but at that time, Francisco Garcia was at his peak, and there were others. The Kings did not need Dante Green.

But after coming to the Spurs, Dante Green played very well.

Become one of the best perimeter 3-and-D players in the league.

That's what the system does.

An excellent system can give full play to the advantages of the players and hide the shortcomings of the players.

The Spurs are the best at it.

Unfortunately, the Mavericks are also good at it.

The Mavericks start.

Qin Yang, Gobert, Al Jefferson, Vince Carter, Corey Brewer.

This is a well-balanced lineup of inside and outside offense and defense.

Game start.

Gobert successfully jumped the ball, Qin Yang took the ball, Corey Brewer rushed out immediately, and the Spurs panicked instantly.Qin Yang didn't hesitate at all, and immediately threw the ball up after a dribble. Corey Brewer rushed to the basket, and taking the ball was a layup and scored.

The Spurs' defense is solid, but flawed.

The fastest of the five is Tony Parker. In addition, Kawhi is also very fast, but they are not good at defending fast breaks.

The other three were very slow.

Once the fast break starts, the Spurs are enough.

The Spurs attack.

For the first ball, Duncan asked for a position and singled Gobert with his back. Seeing this situation, Qin Yang's mouth twitched.

Sure enough, after a skillful back-up singles, Duncan turned around and hit a hook.

Gobert was completely blocked.
