Legend of Tomorrow
Chapter 822 [Breakthrough! Eastern and Western Champions]
The Western Conference Finals started with the attention of all Chinese fans. This time the Chinese fans were very united and unanimously supported Yao Ming. No one said that Yao Ming was holding back the superstar Tracy McGrady.
It's obvious that Yao Ming's thighs are too thick. When paired with McGrady, a lazy hands-on player on the defensive end, he still made it to the playoffs. He made it to the second round last season, which was simply a miracle.
Both Yao Ming and the Rockets did not disappoint the fans. They were highly motivated and won two consecutive home games, leading 2-0.
Yao Ming and Duncan blasted each other, Billups and Parker blasted each other, and the sixth man competition between Spanoulis and Ginobili was only slightly inferior. Both of them focused on breakthroughs.
The key to victory or defeat is the competition at the 4th position. This was the Rockets' weakest position, but now it has become a strong point. Diamond Luis Scola defeated Spurs veteran Kurt Thomas and Argentinian fellow Oberto.
After entering the playoffs, Scola's playing time increased to 34 minutes, scoring 14 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists, and shooting 49.3% from the field. He can not only make stable mid-range shots after covering the screen, but also rely on footwork to hit hard in the low post. He has a tacit understanding with Yao Ming and can always play a beautiful combination of inside and outside.
Many Spurs fans had expressions similar to Ma Jingtao's after watching the game. I felt almost suffocated.
Because Scola was traded to the Rockets by the Spurs last summer in exchange for backup guard Jared Jack. The Spurs strengthened their lineup to target the Suns, on both offense and defense. After eliminating the Suns, they found that the Rockets had become their new victim.
If the Spurs don't trade and choose to sign Scola, his strength will be better than that of Kurt Thomas. Partnering with Duncan in the inside will definitely be as complementary as partnering with Yao Ming, and the inside depth will become super strong.
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world, and the Spurs can only fight with the opponent they created.
The Spurs are not a vegetarian either. They returned to their home court to win two games in a row.
The GDP combination and Granger showed off their power together, but the Rockets failed to withstand their attack. Parker became the best performer on the team, breaking through the Rockets' defense again and again.
The Rockets were afraid of encountering small, fast guards. Neither Yao Ming nor Scola was fast, and the Spurs took advantage of this.
Billups became the protagonist in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, making 10 of 16 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, scoring 28 points, 7 rebounds and 12 assists.
His biggest feature is that he can play as a guest at the No. 2 position, and there is no problem playing with Spanoulis and Alston.
Ginobili didn't suffer any loss in defense, and he did a good job of preventing breakthroughs.
The two were old rivals and knew each other well. Billups suddenly broke out and helped the Rockets beat the Spurs by 17 points at home, leading the total score 3-2.
In Game 6, the Spurs were lost at home. Their defense was good, but the outside players were collectively inaccurate. Granger made 0 of 4 three-pointers, Finley and Bowen made 0 of 3 shots, and Ginobili made 1 of 5 shots. .
The Spurs also have veteran Brent Barry who can shoot three-pointers, but Popovich did not dare to let him play for too long. As soon as he came on the court, he was rushed by Spanoulis. In this game, European Kobe scored 18 points. .
People's fate is so strange. Under Jeff Van Gundy, Spanoulis can only serve as Hyde's substitute. He is a parallel import who can't shoot three-pointers. In Nelson's system, he became the Rockets' best sixth man, always able to break through with the ball.
In the end, the Rockets won 95-88, with a total score of 4-2 and advanced to the finals. Four players on the team scored in double figures.
Yao Ming made 6 of 14 shots, 8 of 9 free throws, scored 20 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, and scored two key goals in the final quarter.
Guo Xu watched the game and was surprised to find that in Nelson's system, Yao Ming still had physical strength until the end. Because Nelson will let Yao Mingla go out to play pick-and-roll for a period of time, provide support from the high position, and let Scola attack to share his pressure.
It is much easier to play with a high screen than to attack in a key position in the penalty area. It is very suitable for Yao Ming to play high and high. It is difficult for opponents to interfere with his line of sight. If the big man does not follow up, he can still make a mid-range shot, although it is not as good as Norvis. It is also relatively high in the paint, with a mid-range shooting percentage of as high as 45% in the playoffs.
Yao Ming, who was trained by Van Gundy in his previous life, could only play in the low post, and could only occasionally show off his mid-range shots and footwork in the high post. He changed from being flexible and changeable to being rigid, which is really regrettable.
When Yao Ming takes a break, Hayes serves as the backup center, who can resist people and grab rebounds. Two guards are sent to the outside to play a wave of fast breaks. Alston, Landry, and Sefolosha can also play a role.
President David Stern is very happy. This year, the Suns failed to win five consecutive championships, but NBA ratings have soared. Fans across China are paying attention to the Rockets and NBA, and they are going to further open up the Chinese market.
The Eastern Conference finals entered the tiebreaker, and the life-and-death battle was held at the Celtics' home court.
This series was also very exciting. The exchanges between James and Pierce made the fans excited. Garnett and Boozer also played fiercely, neither of them could do anything to each other.
Many fans may not believe it. Garnett and Boozer never took advantage of each other. In Guo Xu's previous life, Garnett had more losses than wins, even if he formed the Big Three.
James broke out in this game. He played the entire game, making 14 of 29 shots, 3 of 11 three-pointers, 14 of 19 free throws, and scored 45 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists.
Boozer made 4 of 8 shots and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Delonte West made 4 of 8 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 15 points and 5 assists.
Only three of the Cavaliers scored in double figures, and the others did not perform very well. The worst performance was that Szczerbiak made 0 of 3 shots and failed to score a point. He only played 15 minutes and had 4 fouls before resting.
Even so, the Cavaliers still won 96-93. The Celtics players performed even worse, with only two scoring in double figures.
The best performer of the Green Army was Pierce, who made 13 of 23 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, 11 of 12 free throws, and scored 41 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists.
Garnett made 5 of 13 shots and 3 of 4 free throws, scoring 13 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists.
The third best performer was Rondo, who made 4 of 11 shots and scored 8 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists. He was left open most of the time and missed many open mid-range shots.
Ray Allen, one of the Big Three, didn't show any advantage when facing Pavlovich, and the two exchanged their money. He played 30 minutes, making 1 of 6 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and only had 4 points and 1 assist.
Ray Allen's performance was not as good as blue-collar center Perkins, who scored 8 points and 3 rebounds in 20 minutes.
The Green Army's lineup is not complete. Important defensive player Tony Allen is absent due to injury. Apart from Perkins, the only center position is veteran PJ Brown, who is about to retire. This is a major weakness, and the offense is too poor.
In order to strengthen the defense, swingman James Posey was given 26 minutes of playing time. He scored 5 points and 6 rebounds, and his offensive performance was very ordinary.
The Cavaliers' mid-term trade is crucial. After West joined, their No. 1 position was finally no longer so weak. The Cavaliers' inside line is also stronger than Guo Xu's previous life. Not only did they retain Boozer, they also added center Biedrins, who has outstanding physical fitness and is good at defense.
Biedrins can also play some role on the offensive end. He is not a meat shield center. His running ability is not inferior to that of a forward. He is very fast in air cuts after covering. In the playoffs, he averaged 24 minutes per game and scored 6.4 points and 6.3 points. Backboard.
The Cavaliers and Rockets meet in the finals. This is the third consecutive year they have reached the finals. However, the Cavaliers have a lot of controversy. James's crab moves are so perfect that some people say he is the biological son of president David Stern.
In fact, it is normal for the Green Army to be eliminated. The Big Three also need time to adjust. The Cavaliers have been adjusting for several years...
