Chapter 99 Eastern Conference Semifinals (1)

April 4, Charlotte, Time Warner Center
"The Cleveland Cavaliers have already solved the Indiana Pacers yesterday. You should know what we are going to do today!" Although they only won 4 points in 5 games, the Cleveland Cavaliers still completed the sweep of the Indiana Pacers with a big score of 4:0.

The "sweep" has won 3 games in a row, and the Philadelphia 3ers, who lead 0:76 with a big score, don't want to bring the game back to Philadelphia.

…………

At the beginning of the first quarter, Kemba Walker showed his determination not to be swept home with 13 points in a single quarter

When the 76ers knew that the Hornets were expanding to press the shooter, they began to experiment with McConnell's breakthrough, Grant's inward cut, and Covington's offensive rebounds behind the Orioles.
The effect is not too good. After one quarter, they were 23 points behind at 29:6.

After testing the offense, the 76ers tested the defense in the second quarter
Flank Kemba Walker early to force him out of the ball, while aggressively rotating to control Batum's passing lanes and allowing him to play in isolation.

while allowing the Hornets' elders to fend for themselves

For the next game, Brett Brown is familiarizing their players with this set of tactics.

I have to say, it works well

At 28:21 in a single quarter, they successfully overtook the score.

After practice, everything should be practiced, and the 76ers in the second half came up with the correct routine

On the offensive end, the ball-holding core system headed by Young has been restored, and on the defensive end, the strategy of pinching Kemba Walker and Batum and allowing the opponent's supporting players to attack more has continued.

With 24 minutes to go in the second half, the 76ers won Game 107 of the series 100-[-] on the road
It also completed a sweep of the Charlotte Hornets.

"Are you ready for the next round of the Cleveland Cavaliers?" A reporter from the Cleveland Candide appeared in Charlotte and was assigned the first question.

His heart can be punished, his heart can be punished

"Get ready, I hope to start the game tomorrow and send you home." Yang said lightly, but the other reporters present did not listen lightly.

This is a naked afternoon
Young was rude, and the Cleveland Candid Man was not polite, either.

How Madness Is Written - Cleveland Candide
An offensive article title was born in their pen.

east
Except for the Cleveland Cavaliers and Philadelphia 76ers who ended the battle in four games,

others are struggling
The big score in both series is 2-2
In the West of Hell, except that the Golden State Warriors completed a sweep of the Utah Jazz a few hours ago,
The results of the other three duels are the fastest and the fifth game.

It is worth mentioning that in the series between the Warriors and the Jazz, Stephen Curry, the only candidate for MVP, played 30+ 180 clubs.

Nothing unexpected happened.

April 4, Philadelphia International Airport
"The schedule is out, it's good for us." 76ers return to Philly after a night off in Charlotte
As soon as he got off the plane, McConnell got the schedule news.

"Number 29, 1, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13"

"It's okay, at least no one will get a rest time later." Looking at the schedule, Yang just muttered.

"Are you going home next? I'm going to eat."

"No, I'm going to Chicago. A long-delayed endorsement needs to be resolved. I will be back before the joint practice tomorrow." Although I don't want to be distracted in the playoffs.But one endorsement has indeed dragged on for a very long time.

It's time to fix it.

April 4, 27 a.m., Philadelphia Practice Ground

The 15-man Philadelphia 76ers completed their fit in the training hall for the first time this season.

Even Marshall, who was reimbursed for the season, Landry and Embiid, who is recovering from basic training.

"Go to the video room." Because it is a newly built training ground, the video room is more convenient for everyone to discuss strategies.

"Without Irving in Game 1, Young relatively locked up LeBron on the defensive end, coupled with Young's high production and efficiency, and LeBron's shooting team lost, so we won.

In the second game, Yang took a break and lost badly. This game has no reference value, so you can ignore it.

In Game 4, Young was recuperating and LeBron didn't play, so don't watch this worthless game.

The main thing is the 3rd

In Irving's limited playing time, we couldn't guard Irving.

If Irving wasn't bound by a limited season, we wouldn't have won Game 3 at all.

"Today's focus is to discuss restricting Irving." After Billy Lanci finished his introduction, Brett Brown asked a question.

"Courtney." The only defender on the back line, Coach Brown sees Courtney Lee as the best candidate for the first line of defense.

"I can't guard him, it's hard not to lose my position."

"..." Covington wasn't good at defending Xiao Kuailing, so Coach Brown simply didn't ask.

"Billy, what do you think about the defense?" Brett Brown only has three defensive cards in his hands: Young, Covington, and Courtney Lee, so he hopes that the defensive coach Billy Lanci can give him some good advice.

"Finger attack is the best choice." After glancing at everyone, Billy Lankey spoke.

"How to do it specifically."

"Expand the defense outside the three-point line, squeeze through the screen on the pick-and-roll and partially flank, if you want to break through, you will be flanked."

"If he gets the ball out, then the defense is successful."

"There is a problem here. If you put pressure on the ball holder so much, you need someone to check and make up for the gaps inside. What should LeBron do?" As soon as Billy Lanci said his thoughts, Yang knew that this was a defensive system centered on himself.

"Let him play singles, even if he gets 40 points, it doesn't matter. We don't have the capital to bear two 40 points."

"I am willing to implement your suggestion..."

"But in this way, the fouls will accumulate very quickly. If Young is not on the court, the team's offense and defense will drop by at least two grades." As a center who used to check for gaps at the University of Kansas, Embiid gave his advice.

"..." Can't have both fish and bear's paws, which brought the meeting in Philadelphia to a standstill.

Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers are meeting

"Our main game is..., so it's decided, let's go to training." Unlike the atmosphere of the 76ers' discussion, the Cavaliers made defensive strategies very quickly, making it dizzying.

April 4, Cleveland, evening

Corridor on the eighth floor of a three-star hotel

"Cleveland is really deserted."

"There is no fun here, and I don't know how the Cavaliers can stay here."

The room on the 8th floor, which was pitch black from the outside, was also pitch black from the inside.

Suddenly, the faint bedside lamp in room 804 turned on.

"Gudu"

"Gudu"

After two cups of "Ding Dong", the voice of the Ins private message rang.

After touching down, he picked up the mobile phone that appeared beside his calf for some reason.

Midway Island An Water: How is it that you are still alone recently?Being alone is really not conducive to leadership, unless your teammates are really good.

He: Not a loner, I just don't participate in activities that are not good for my physical and mental health and career.

Midway Island An Water: Those I really don't recommend you go.But you have to learn to communicate with others off the court;
like you and me

He: You are my friend, of course I would like to tell you some unhappy things.

Midway Island An Water: Although I am a beauty controler, I don’t like your style,
He: If you don’t like it, then don’t like it. As long as you are willing to listen to me, everything else is not important. The appearance of a good listener is an adventure.

Midway Island An Water: While my time is precious, I'd love to hear from you.

He: ………

30 minutes later

Midway Island An Water: Although I would love to hear from you.But my time off is over and I'm going to work because I'm still poor.

He: Goodbye, we will talk again when we have time, my mood is much better.

The owner of room 804, after standing up, picked up the champagne on the table and walked into the toilet
"Crash, crash"

Then he poured the half bottle of expensive champagne into the sink.

　Terrible, it is really a terrible subscription, or I have updated it for 3 days.

　　If you can help me spread the word
