The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 461
Wizards coach Brooks said of Tianwangshan's loss: "We gave them too many easy fast break opportunities. We failed to show the necessary concentration. When you give the opponent too many easy transition opportunities, each of them will It feels like the hoop has gotten bigger."

"We missed a lot of shots tonight, it's not our normal level of shooting."

"We will work hard to play better when we return to home court," Wizards player Wall said.

Thomas Jr. said in an interview after the game: "I think we are fully committed to the game. We know what challenges we will face. We know this is a tough game."

"We want to get what we want and there's no doubt that we were the team that worked harder tonight and we've shown that."

Crowder, the Celtics Titan, also said, "This is a victory for the entire team. Each of us has our own tasks, and we have also played their best on the court. When we can do this It's so easy to win."

While other teams were resting, the sixth game between the Celtics and the Wizards began.

In this game, both sides showed their respective strengths and played extremely tangled.

At the last moment, Wall showed his star qualities, killing his opponent with a three-pointer, and dragging the game into the tiebreaker.

When talking about the overall performance of the players, Wizards coach Brooks said: "They are driving me crazy, but I love all of them."

Wizards player Morris said, "The players stood up and played a key performance. This comes from the inner desire to win. We are not ready to end this season. We want to win the game for this city. Tonight's The fans are incredible and I think they keep us fighting and give us the belief to win."

As the hero of this game, Wall talked about his views on the tiebreaker, "Look now, what else can I ask for, this is my life, and this is what I want."

Celtics coach Stevens said after the game: "A superstar made a superstar. I have to take off my hat to him. That three-pointer is very critical."

"We've got to be tighter on defense, and we've got to look forward even if he makes the shot."

"We had no choice. We played a difficult game away. We put ourselves in a position to win, but we failed to end the game." Horford looked a little regretful.

Thomas Jr. is eager for the next game. "Great players carved their names in the tiebreaker. You have to give it your all. This is the game where legends are born. We just want to play the tiebreaker of the series in Boston." Big fight, but we just want to win tonight. I think the team that's tougher mentally is going to win the game, and hopefully that's us."

But before their group decides the final winner, the Western Conference Finals between the Spurs and Warriors has already started.

On May 5th, in the battle for the peak of the Western Conference, the Spurs chose Mills as the No. 14 starting lineup, with Aldridge and Gasol partnering inside.

The Warriors are their most regular starting lineup, four All-Stars plus Pachulia.

Unlike previous games, the Spurs are definitely a very strong opponent.

As far as the starting lineup is concerned, the Warriors are still slightly stronger, but the Spurs' bench lineup is slightly better.

But what really decides the game is the strongest stars on both sides, the Spurs Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard, the Warriors Curry and Durant.

The other All-Star levels, to be honest, can only be used as a supporting role in the competition of a strong team.

At the beginning of the game, the Spurs deliberately hit the ball inside. Relatively speaking, the Warriors' inside defense is a weakness.

This is just a trial, after all, Durant and Draymond Green have good defense capabilities.

Unexpectedly, the effect was very good. Both Aldridge and Gasol played Popovich's expectations.

The tentative tactics were successful, and the Spurs immediately exerted their strength, using the advantage of the inside line and combining the outside line to strengthen the offense.

Their starting lineup is not the strongest defensively, but it is the most comprehensive offensively.

And their pick-and-roll defense against the Warriors is very good, especially Curry. Curry's singles are okay, and if they change, they will be Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard.

Durant is now Leonard's main defense, and Zhang Xiaotian puts most of his energy on deploying offense.

The Spurs played well at the start, but the Warriors hadn't warmed up yet. In addition, Klay Thompson was at a disadvantage against Zhang Xiaotian. Zhang Xiaotian was very familiar with the methods of this former teammate.

Relying on a relatively comprehensive attack system, the Spurs gained the lead.

The Warriors immediately adjusted, with Iguodala on the next center.

The Spurs also replaced Gasol on Danny Green, so that the Spurs became the lineup with the strongest perimeter defense.

The Warriors' lineup is also strong in perimeter defense, but their offense is better, while the Spurs are still more comprehensive on the offensive end because of the presence of Aldridge.

But it's hard to say who is more powerful.

The main thing is who can play better, because they are all quite strong.

Now it is obviously the Spurs. The Spurs are relatively stable. The Warriors often rely on explosive points. It is normal for the Spurs to have the advantage when the Warriors do not explode.

The main reason is that the Spurs' bench strength is more comprehensive. The Warriors will play a small lineup for a long time, and the Spurs will maintain a big and four small lineups most of the time, so there are more outside opportunities for substitute players. Dedmon is not very useful to the team because of his slow pace.

At this time, Jonathan Simmons, who has breakthrough ability, got a chance to perform. Both he and Ginobili played well, and the Spurs quickly gained a double-digit lead.

But for the Warriors, this gap is nothing at all.

When the main players of both sides played again in the second quarter, Curry went crazy.

The No. [-] position was originally the weak link of the Spurs. Curry didn't need any cover at all, and Mills couldn't defend at all.

This is normal, and it doesn't matter who it is, because Curry is on the opposite side.

The Spurs also have countermeasures, that is, attack against attack, and their first and fourth juniors are also terrifying.

With two three-pointers from the outside, Aldridge opened up, Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard picked and rolled, and this season is also an unsolvable mode in the league.

The Warriors are similar, but they often have three three-pointers beyond the point of possession.

Curry has a wide range of three-point shots, and Durant can play singles no matter who the defender in front is. In this regard, the Warriors are indeed better.

But the Spurs are more comprehensive, both offensive and defensive.

Zhang Xiaotian scored 5 points in a row before halftime, and the Spurs firmly held the lead.

"Everyone work harder, as long as we lead to the fourth quarter, no matter whether the opponent is the Warriors or other teams, no one can take away the victory from us."
