Chapter 203 Battle Situation
What makes Cheeks angry is not how bad the substitute's performance is, but the advantage that the starting lineup has finally established. It is just that they can't do a good job of defense and keep the point difference.

Most of the substitute players don't work hard. In fact, there is already a problem with their mentality. I have been on the bench, and I don't even have a few minutes to play. Why should I work hard.

Whether it's a threat or a warning, Cheeks' words are more or less effective. Before the start of the second game of the playoffs, the 76ers are all in training.

Ze Yang, Iverson, Webber and Iguodala mainly train against pick-and-rolls, which is their weakness in the regular season.

The simplest two defenders swap the opposing offensive players, which has the advantage of being able to contain most of the opponent's tactical arrangements.

If you can ensure that every defense change is in place quickly, then naturally you will not leave an open space for the opponent.However, the disadvantage of switching defenses is that it is easy for opponents to take advantage of their stature after switching defenses, and the difference in ability can make them misplaced.

There is also a delay tactic, which means that when the pick-and-roll occurs, the defensive player of the screener goes up to contain the dribbling route of the ball holder, so that the small defender of his own side can bypass or squeeze through the screen and face the ball again. man, and then go back and find the big offensive player he was originally facing.

The ideal effect is to force the ball handler to stop the ball after the pick-and-roll, and then the two defenders quickly return to their defensive positions.

Of course, the screen players will often have a certain chance to catch the ball after the pick-and-roll. At this time, the weak side Iguodala needs to come up to interfere with the offensive players who are separated to receive and handle the ball.

Almost every NBA team uses pick-and-roll screens, so it's important to practice picking-and-roll defense.

This time the training was personally guided by the Philadelphia 76ers coaching staff, Cheeks was responsible for explaining and guiding, and the assistant coach was responsible for playing the video of the tactical prototype.

Yang Ze's seriousness in training also infected every teammate.

Game 76 between the Philadelphia [-]ers and the Washington Wizards also follows.

It is still the Philadelphia home court, and there are still no empty seats. Ze Yang's voice resounds throughout the Wachovia Center Arena.

When we met again, General Arenas was no longer as energetic as before.

After losing to the 76ers in the last game, they should have a meeting when they went back, and made adjustments to the starting lineup for this game. Except for Arenas and Caron Butler, the players on the field are relatively strong defensive players.

"You think you can restrain me with these little fish and shrimp?"

The opening king was full of firepower, making shots from inside and outside, scoring 5 points in a row.

The Wizards' delusion to use defense to limit the output of Ze Yang and Iverson is obviously a bit unrealistic. Role players are role players after all. No matter how good the defense is, how can they completely limit the double guns in the backcourt.

Another thing is that their defense has improved, but the offensive end is still completely blown.

As long as this lineup restricts Arenas and Caron Butler, the Wizards are basically useless.

Ze Yang alone can lock up Arenas.

Yang Ze even told them with actions, you can't guard against me, 15 points in a single quarter, and the Wizards only scored 14 points in the first quarter, the real one-on-one team, the real one-on-five.

The game was 30 to 15 in the first quarter, and the game was actually overwhelmed.

In the second quarter, Yang Ze and Iverson staggered the rest time and took turns leading the substitutes.

However, the Wizards' bench lineup, with the addition of Deshaun Stevenson, is not bad in terms of firepower.

The 76ers' substitutes Steven Hunter, Alan Henderson, Bobby Jones, Willie Green and others also worked hard, and finally held the point difference in the second quarter.

In the second half, the two guns in the backcourt reunited. Iverson used his breakthroughs to continuously tear through the Wizards' defense, and the Wizards' inside attack was riddled with holes.

Yang Ze didn't give up much, dribbled the ball continuously, played with the general Arenas, and successfully harvested the background board.

Under Yang Ze's command and assists, Iguodala, Webber and others also scored consecutively, and the point difference soon came to more than 20 points.

In today's state, it is really easier for the 76ers to play against the Wizards than in the regular season.

Yang Ze, who scored 15 points in 40 minutes in a single quarter, created a new personal playoff scoring high, and this is just the beginning.

Games [-] and [-] of the first-round series were moved to Washington, home of the Wizards.

With the support of the home fans, the Wizards played very bravely after the start of G3, and the score has always been in the lead.

At the beginning of the final quarter, the Wizards widened the point difference to 10 points. When the home fans began to celebrate, Yang Ze and Iverson suddenly broke out. The boiling home court was instantly silent.

Next, the 76ers were all soldiers and won the game wave after wave.

The Wizards launched a Jedi counterattack in the fourth game, but Arenas deeply understood what despair is. The 76ers are not in a hurry to widen the point difference. Whenever he catches up with the score, someone will stand up and score. More or less, the difference of four or five points has been maintained.

In the end, the Wizards also disarmed and surrendered. They were beaten for four consecutive games. The two teams were not at the same level. The 76ers ended the first round of the series 4-0 and became the first team to advance to the second round. .

In the first-round series against the Wizards, Ze Yang averaged 30 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds and 3 steals per game.

This is the first time the Philadelphia 76ers have entered the second round of the playoffs since 2001. From the team management to the coaching staff to the players, everyone celebrated this moment.

After the game, Cheeks gave all players a day off.

After a day's rest, he went into training again, and waited for the end of the other teams' battles by the way.

In the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, the 76ers defeated the Wizards 4-0 and advanced first.

Then came the Miami Heat, who defeated the New Jersey Nets 4-1. Wade was like a godsend in the playoffs. Carter and Kidd couldn't stop the Flash from scoring breakthroughs.

The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Magic 4-1. James averaged 31+7+5 per game, destroying the Magic's inside defense and successfully advancing.

The confrontation between the Raptors and the Pistons lasted until the seventh game. Chris Bosh tried his best to defend the dignity of the Platinum Generation, but he still couldn’t stand the defense of the New Bad Boys. The Raptors lost to the Pistons 3-4. It’s a pity Say goodbye to the playoffs.

Compared with the east, the west is more lively.

The Houston Redcoats beat the Nuggets 4-2, and Anthony, who had a kaleidoscope of offense, couldn't stand up to the healthy Yao-Mike combination.

The Suns also defeated the Jazz 4-2, with unsolvable fast breaks, breaking through the Jazz's defense time and time again, but the Jazz once again let other teams see the horror of Utah's home court.

马刺4比2击败湖人，科比系列赛场均贡献33+8+4+2，攻防两端表现的无懈可击，奈何队友实在是不给力。

This year's biggest upset was born. The Dallas Mavericks, the number one in the league, lost to the Golden State Warriors 2-4 in an upset, and the Warriors completed the black eight miracle.

At the moment of the end of the game, the Mavericks' first record in the league instantly became a joke, the home fans booed constantly, and Nowitzki was once again labeled as a softie.

The miracle of the black eight has to be embarrassing.

The divisional semifinals are about to begin, and the Philadelphia 76ers led by Ze Yang and Iverson also ushered in their opponents in the second round, the Detroit Pistons.
