The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 514 The Second Battle
The second round of the first round has already begun, and the Spurs are relatively late in the game. Taking more rest is good news for the team's veterans.

Of course, the Spurs now have few veterans.

The son can already sit in the stands and babble and cheer, Zhang Xiaotian also has a sense of accomplishment.

In the second game between the 76ers and the Heat, the Heat pulled one back.

Wade came off the bench and returned to the top, scoring a game-high 28 points efficiently to help the team win.

After the game, Wade was in high spirits, and the fans of the Heat were also hooked.

But in essence, the 76ers had a problem during the rotation period in the first half, and Wade scored most of the points at that time.

Youngsters will always make some mistakes, judging from the situation in the second half, they adjusted quickly.

Moreover, Embiid, the strongest player of the 76ers, did not play. If the Heat need a miracle to win now, their next game will not be easy.

The gimmick given to this group of matchups by the outside world is "experience" versus "talent". In fact, this is not accurate. The current Heat playoff experience is not so rich.

Wade is just Wade, and the once king is old.

There were also unexpected changes in the second game between the Rockets and the Jazz.

Joe Ingles stepped forward and caught the Rockets by surprise.

Raiders can affect a certain game, although absolutely only the strength of the entire series.

The Rockets did not do a good job in defense this time, and more importantly, Harden and Paul did not drive the role team.

The Rockets need role players to be active. Maybe there is no need for such a high requirement in the first round, but the opponent who gave a surprise will definitely not be easily defeated by ordinary means.

They gave people the feeling that at the critical moment of the final quarter, they still lacked a little domineering.

Harden also made a summary after the game, "We expected their physical confrontation. This is the playoffs. I need to do better to beat them. It's very simple."

Another matchup in the West, the second game between the Trail Blazers and the Pelicans, in the case of an extremely fierce first half, the Blazers were defeated in the third quarter and fell behind with a total score of 0:2.

The Trail Blazers have made adjustments to allow more players to participate on the offensive end.

But it's still not enough. In essence, their head star can't handle the Pelicans' second head and guard signed with a basic salary.

Zhu Holiday scored 33+9 and shined in the audience, proving that he is really a man worth more than [-] million.

As for Rondo's performance in the playoffs, every time it is so worth it.

However, with his performance, he still has to wander every season. It can only be said that this is only part of the player's value.

Looking at this posture, the game behind the Pelicans will be more difficult to play.

In the East, the No. [-] Raptors once again defeated the Wizards and won two consecutive victories in the playoffs.

This time the Wizards also mobilized the role players, but the Raptors not only scored points for everyone, DeRozan also broke out with great strength, scoring the highest score in the game and beating Bill.

After the game, Raptors coach Casey also greatly praised DeRozan. It is true that this buddy played efficiently in the first quarter and established the trend of the main game.

Of course, Bill is often an important reason for the Wizards to lose. In the playoffs, if you don't perform well enough, the team will lose the qualification to move forward.

Compared with the regular season, the playoffs do not allow weakness.

In the second game between the Celtics and the Bucks, the Celtics also won the home game again.

Like the Raptors, the Celtics also established a score advantage in the first quarter.

They broke out with Jaylen Brown, and the Bucks' guard line is honestly disappointing.

The Bucks traded Eric Bledsoe this season, just to change the back line, but this buddy withered at a critical moment in the playoffs.

One side has the advantage in the guard line, while the other side has the advantage in the striker line. The trouble for the Bucks is that their guard line is far behind the opponent. Obviously, the Celtics are young people, and their performance in the regular season is not as good as that of Eli. K Bledsoe stands out.

It can only be said that the Bucks head coach Joe Prati will bear the blame.

On April 4, the second game between the Spurs and the Thunder began.

In the first game, everyone figured out the reality. The Thunder belonged to the kind of team that no one else would stand up for.

The Spurs haven't had much tactical training these days, but the players already know how the Thunder should play.

This time, the Spurs tried to suppress the opponent from the first quarter.

But the Thunder is not only strong. Westbrook is still sharp at the start, and Paul George has also adjusted his touch, but Anthony is still a bit out of place.

It is certain that Donovan did not glue the three together, but the Spurs' defense also played a key role.

The main players of the two sides still played inextricably, and the breakthrough point appeared during the rotation period.

The Thunder have been trying to increase the playing time of the Big Three, but they still did not perform well in the short rotation time.

It's better for Westbrook to lead the team. Paul George and Anthony are not effective when they lead the bench.

Relatively speaking, the Spurs can lead the team with all three strengths.

During the rotation period of team tactics, it is very easy to tell the difference.

After the main force played again, the Thunder still resisted the impact of the Spurs and did not allow the Spurs to continue to expand their advantage.

In the third quarter, the Spurs were already planning to reap the game, but this time it was a bit of a surprise.

The Thunder made an effort, and they must have discussed tactics at halftime, but in the end it was the connection between the players that showed.

Westbrook did a very good job in passing and shooting selection in this quarter, driving both Paul George and Anthony.

This is also rare in the Thunder, usually on the offensive end, they are often separated.

If they can maintain this standard, they will definitely not meet the Spurs in the first round.

There is no doubt that Westbrook has played at a super level. He is strong and can shoot and pass, but his grasp of timing is still somewhat different from that of the top organizers.

The Spurs did not panic, and still stabilized the defense according to the team's rhythm, waiting for the opportunity to appear.

Because they knew that even if Lei Ting didn't reveal his flaws, Zhang Xiaotian would use his strong attack power to force the opponent to show his flaws in the fourth quarter.

Westbrook's good feeling ended in the rotation period. Donovan also wanted to keep his strong points on the court for a while, but there was no way to improve his strength. The Spurs were also improving their strength. If they were tough, Paul George could do it withstand.

Westbrook consumes a lot unless he doesn't care about the situation in the fourth quarter, and Anthony's physical strength can't keep up.

They fought to get the score back, but one big question remained unanswered.

That is how to restrict Zhang Xiaotian at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Thinking about it carefully, they can only expect super-level performance on the defensive end or Zhang Xiaotian has problems with his state. This is the helplessness of facing a strong team.
