I'm really good at shooting.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, all the first rounds of the East and West have been played.

The results of several matches.

Magic (4) VS (2) Heat

Wade averaged 30+5+5 per game in the series, but he couldn't stand Howard's overwhelmed insiders. "Warcraft" averaged 25+15+4 per game, which proved that there is no strong insider in this era. In the playoffs, it is completely Two situations.

Bulls (4) VS (1) Pacers

The Pacers' youth storm failed in the playoffs, because they couldn't defend against the Bulls' offense, and their offensive positional combat ability was seriously insufficient. To make a breakthrough, next season's trade is imperative.

Pistons (4) VS (3) Wizards

McGrady's injury became more obvious in the playoffs. In the past, opponents couldn't defend him because his sudden shot combination was too incomprehensible, but now they only need to focus on his shooting, and what's more terrible is his defense. The tendon injury affected his lateral speed too much.

As a result, although Yao Ming averaged 27+12 MVP-level statistics per game, the Pistons couldn't stand the crowd, and the Wizards regretted being eliminated in the first round.

This is also the first time they have fallen in the first round in recent years.

Although it is still too early for the Wizards to start thinking about the future of the team, perhaps Yao Ming should make some plans in advance.

Celtics (4) VS (2) Raptors

There is nothing to say about talent suppression.

Clippers (4) VS (0) Blazers

Although the Blazers' youth team made it to the playoffs, they paid tuition for growth.

As for the Clippers, even though Bynum was injured and missed the playoffs, they still showed their talents. Their gorgeous offense made the commentators exclaim show.time.

Mavericks (4) VS (1) Hornets

There is nothing to say about the crushing strength.

Spurs (4) VS (1) Suns

The Suns lost completely this time, and their inability to break through the playoffs all year round has already made the team's management lose patience with D'Antoni.

Nuggets (4) VS (1) Lakers

With Carter's 3-point performance in G43, the Lakers won a victory at home, but they didn't have many opportunities in the entire series.

Before, Sun Hao basically didn't pay much attention to the regular season games because he concentrated on taking care of Scarlett.

Especially the Nuggets, whose lineup has not changed much.

But after watching the series against the Lakers, this Nuggets team surprised him.

Especially James' performance is more mature than last year.

Speaking of last year's playoffs, especially when playing against the Lakers, Iverson basically took James away.

But this year, the situation is reversed.

Although it doesn't make him feel that this Nuggets team can win the championship, it will definitely have a fight with the Clippers.

And the key point is that the Nuggets have finally passed the hurdle of O'Neal. Their No. [-] inside combination will no longer be a disadvantage when facing other teams, but may be an advantage. This will be very important.

After the end of the first round, the Eastern and Western Division semifinals will start soon.

Sun Hao's eyes also turned from the Lakers to the Nuggets.

Then, the Nuggets really surprised him.

Let's take a look at the results of the second round.

Magic (4) VS (3) Celtics

The results of this matchup were somewhat surprising.

But it turns out that without Yao Ming, Howard can really play Red Envelope Solitaire, do whatever he wants, and then do whatever he wants.

Perkins can't handle Howard in his prime, let alone those shooters on the outside of the Magic.

That's the kind that can really shoot people through.

Moreover, the impact of Garnett's suspension is also more obvious in the game. His competitive state is much worse than last year.

So although the Celtics showed resilience and dragged the game into the tiebreaker, they still lost in the end.

Bulls (4) vs (2) Pistons

Although the Bulls are much worse than the Pistons in terms of experience, after the battle with the Celtics last year, the Bulls' ability to resist pressure has been greatly improved.

Especially Paul's breakthrough style of play is very restrained by the Pistons' defensive system.

Hamilton and Peja on the outside, and even Yi Jianlian, the Detroit people who stretched the space on the outside were very helpless.

Lone Ranger (4) VS (3) Spurs

The two sides played a round of epic playoffs.

Duncan averaged 25+15 per game in the series, playing against Big Ben who had no temper.

But in turn, Nowitzki also made the Spurs helpless.

Especially in the tiebreaker, Nowitzki scored 34 points and scored 5 points in a row at the end of the fourth quarter to kill the game.

Clippers (3) VS (4) Nuggets

The Nuggets and Clippers met early.

In most people's eyes, the Nuggets will repeat last year's script and be eliminated again.

The only difference is whether it was Sun Hao or Kobe, the Lakers or the Clippers.

But after the game, the Nuggets won. James averaged 35+7+9 in the series and played an MVP-level performance.

Barnes couldn't guard James, and without Bynum guarding the inside, the Clippers couldn't limit James' performance at all.

On the Nuggets side, West and Efflalo staged a wheel battle against Kobe, and Kobe was exhausted after hitting the back.

In this way, the Eastern and Western finals will also be released.

Eastern Magic VS Bulls, Western Mavericks VS Nuggets.

These four teams are completely new faces.

Sun Hao's retirement has filled this league with infinite possibilities.

Even the spinach company is a little panicked at this time.

The old situation is being broken, and a new pattern is being formed.

A very interesting thing is that before the East-West Finals, the league announced the ownership of the MVP for the 2007-2008 season.

In the end, Kobe was elected the regular season MVP for the first time in his career by virtue of his average performance of 28.9 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game.

Then, the Clippers have already been eliminated...

This is to form the "embarrassing MVP brothers" together with Nowitzki before.

However, from an optimistic point of view, the elimination of the team is already an established fact, and winning the first MVP of his career is also a consolation.

This isn't entirely a bad thing either.

After the MVP was awarded, the Eastern and Western finals also started soon.

Magic (4) vs (2) Bulls

In the Eastern Conference finals, the Magic finally won the game by virtue of their inside advantage.

After Sun Hao retired, the Instant Kill combination also disappeared.

Then in the east, the combination of "Little Sun Hao" Arenas and "Warcraft" Howard reproduced the power of the combination of one inside and one outside.

And judging from the results, it was totally worth it for them to sign Lewis in the summer.

Mavericks (3) VS (4) Nuggets

This round of the Western Conference finals was extremely fierce. The Mavericks took a 2-1 lead in the series, and after being tied, they took a 3-2 lead.

But in the end, in James' eager eyes that couldn't hide at all, the Nuggets still tenaciously equalized the score!

Then, in the tiebreaker, the Nuggets won the series like a bamboo shooter!

Sun Hao watched the whole live broadcast, and to be honest, he didn't expect this result.

Because in a sense, this Mavericks team is already very close to that classic team in history.

Facts have proved that people's desire can make people burst into unlimited potential.

And Daben's ability has indeed declined too much, and he can't help James hit the basket at all.

If you replace Big Ben with Chandler, the Nuggets may not necessarily win.

But in any case, James led the Nuggets to a historic finals.

This scene is already comparable to the championship he achieved in Cleveland.

The question now is whether he can lead the Nuggets to the championship.

And speaking of it, James and Howard have played against each other in the Eastern Conference several times in history, winning and losing each other.

Now that history has changed, James has come out of the West in blood, and the two have played against each other for the first time in their careers.

Between the Magic and the Nuggets, who will win the final championship will be a big question.

Perhaps at this time, it depends on how professional fans analyze it.

……

Chapter 567 The 2008 NBA Champion Is...

Everyone is looking forward to another year of finals.

Magic VS Nuggets.

Take a look at the lineups of the two teams.

Magic core rotation: Howard, Arenas, Lewis, Turkoglu, Ricky Bogans, Carlos Arroyo, Maurice Evans, Tony Batty, JJ Redick.

Nuggets core rotation: James, Iverson, Camby, Martin, Delonte West, JR Smith, Afflalo, Kleiza, Chris Anderson, Brand Haywood.

On paper, the Nuggets have some advantages.

However, a basketball game is not just about putting together lineups on paper. It is more about playing style, tactics, even details, penalty scales and so on.

Speaking of which, the stars in this year's finals are not as good as last year's, but because of the different styles, the game will become very interesting.

The Magic have a standard one-star four-shot style of play. Whether they can play on the offensive end depends first on whether Howard can blow up the Nuggets' inside group, and second depends on how the outside shooters feel.

The Nuggets are still defending and counterattacking, going back and forth at high speed. The key to them is whether they can prevent the Magic's one-star shooting.

This looks like a contradictory matchup, but on the one hand, it is good for the Nuggets. Last year, they played against the Lakers and this year they fought bloody from the West. Their positional warfare ability has been greatly improved.

This has greatly improved their lower limit, and it is also the key to their ability to reach the finals this year.

According to Sun Hao's judgment, either of these two teams is likely to win, and no one is more sure than the other.

Because Howard is not O'Neal, it is not so easy to easily suppress the three insiders Camby, Martin, and Haywood.

Conversely, although James' outside shooting has improved compared to the same period in history, it is far from the level of accuracy at the end of his career.

In other words, he is still more afraid of teams with super insiders, which was reflected in the Wizards and when he played against the Lakers in the playoffs last year.

Although Howard is a rough guy on the offensive end, he is completely incomparable with O'Neal, but his current defensive ability is definitely better than O'Neal.

So it can be said that both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Even the head coaches on both sides are not the top ones, and they have their own obvious advantages and disadvantages.

So to sum it up in one sentence: anything is possible.

Tired of guessing, guessing may be lonely at the end, so it's better to watch honestly.

Looking at the entire finals, it feels like you are driving an inaccessible mountain road. You never know what you will see when you turn the next corner.

In G1, Howard was extremely uncomfortable being guarded by Camby. It felt like "I can't guard the big shark or you, the little monster?"

Howard has no advantage inside, and the Magic's outside shooters have no room to play at all. The Magic lost 89 to 103.

After the G1 game, experts felt that the Magic were completely useless, because Van Gundy's style of play relied on Howard's advantage in the paint.
