Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

The Knicks did not stay in the joy of victory, it was just a night of celebration and carnival. The next day, the team entered the tense and active preparations for the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Although the Eagles are a weaker team than the Bulls in terms of paper strength and big data analysis, the wise saying "no underdogs in the playoffs" always reminds the Knicks players , Can't despise any opponent, otherwise, it is very likely that the Spurs who are the first in the West will be the black eight of the Grizzlies.

But overall, the ambience, both preparing for and actually going to Atlanta, was very relaxed.

The semi-final G1 started as scheduled. The Eagles seemed to have a balanced lineup composed of Joe Johnson, Jeff Teague, Al Horford, Josh Smith, and Marvin Williams, and two players were selected as All-Stars. The ability of these players can only be said to be above average, a little better than mediocre, and probably similar to those players in the Bulls except for Rose.

But the problem is, the old team does not have a star like Rose.

Compared with the Knicks, which has many giants, this team is naturally difficult to contend with.

G1 only played for one half, and the Knicks made a decision. The Knicks had a 61:50 halftime lead. Not only did the score lead, but the whole scene was absolutely suppressed.

These Eagles players can only be said to be balanced. They do not have the defensive level and resources of the Bulls. Naturally, there is no way to limit Stoudemire and Anthony, the two top scorers in the league.

In the second half of the game, the Eagles once set off a counterattack, but it didn't help.

In the fourth quarter, the Knicks took the game away in a wave, and easily won the away victory with 113:99.

In this campaign, Anthony scored a team-high 32 points, Stoudemire also scored 21 points and 14 rebounds, and even JR Smith scored 23 points. With his teammates performing well, Bai Feng played very easily. With 15 points and 13 assists in the game, he won the game steadily without showing anything.

After such a G1 fight, basically this round of the series is out of tune.

The media and fans are all optimistic about the Knicks advancing to the Eastern Conference finals, and even many fans and the media predict that they will swept to advance!

However, the shortcomings and deficiencies of the Knicks were soon exposed.

In G2 two days later, the Eagles played a beautiful game!

Although their main lineup was still blown out by the Knicks, however, Jamal Crawford on the bench stood up, only in the first half [Jing Crawford scored 16 points in the rotation!

Under his play, the Eagles can hold the score tightly!

You know, the biggest reason why the Eagles were able to kill the Magic 4:2 in the first round was Jamal Crawford's performance.

In the first round against the Magic, Crawford averaged 21 points per game in six games! He is also the only player in the Eagles who averaged more than 20 points per game. Although the Magic's star Warcraft Howard ran away, he scored 27+ points in the series. The explosive data of 16, but the Eagles couldn't bear to bloom more, and there was a scorer on the bench.

In G2 with the Knicks, in the second half of the rotation, Crawford broke out again, all kinds of coquettish dribbling, all kinds of unreasonable mid-to-long-range shots, directly blowing up the Knicks' rotation and widening the point difference.

In the fourth quarter, the main force of the Knicks returned, and once chased the score close or even overtook, but in the end, the Eagles retained the home court with two magical three-pointers before the end.

At 106:108, the Knicks lost G2 day and the score was 1:1

Crawford scored 35 points in the audience, making him the biggest contributor to the Eagles' victory.

But even so, apart from Atlanta fans, no one is optimistic that the Eagles can win this round of the series.

Soon, Nick proved their absolute strength.

In the next two home games in New York, the Knicks did not give the Hawks too many chances.

G3 is nothing but Stoudemire's personal show. Horford and Marvin Williams' pairing is too "faced" in the inside line. In the first round, Howard scored 47 points and 20 rebounds in a terrifying single-game data.

Stoudemire's absolute dominance at the basket is slightly less than that of Howard, but his offensive level and ability to rush to the basket are stronger than Howard.

In this way, when Stoudemire is in a state of play, the Eagles have absolutely no way to deal with it.

In this game, Knicks fans saw that Bai Feng kept sending Stoudemire an alley-oop, and the entire Eagles kept sounding the air defense alarm, but they could only watch Stoudemire wreaking havoc in the penalty area.

In the end, Stoudemire scored 43 points and 12 rebounds. The Knicks also won the game at home 112:101, and the total score was rewritten to 2:1.

Two days later in G4, the Eagles made some defensive tactics against Stoudemire, but after all, the Knicks are a multi-giant team. Stoudemire was affected at first, but Anthony and Bai Feng stood up one after another. Come out, it is still the situation where the Eagles are pressed and played.

In the second half, the Eagles' defense was already overwhelmed, and Stoudemire was released again to attack the Eagles.

In this game, the Knicks "Big Three" played at the same time, Bai Feng 25 points and 8 assists, Anthony 33 points, Stoudemire also scored 24 points and 14 rebounds in the second half, and finally the Knicks defeated the Hawks 123:102. The total score also came to 3:1.

Three days later, the game moved to Atlanta, where the Eagles want to fight back again!

They were united and fought to the death.

Everyone on the defensive end did their best on the offensive end, and Crawford once again recreated the magical performance of $2.

In the first half, the Knicks were even out of shape, trailing by 15 points at halftime with 43:58.

Just when the Eagles fans thought they were going to move back to another game, making the series suspenseful, Bai Feng suddenly broke out in the second half. When his teammates were not in good shape, he made three consecutive three-pointers to open the situation. , also forced out the completely contracted defense of the Eagles, so Bai Feng began to revitalize the overall situation!

Eagles fans could only watch as the handsome Asian rookie point guard of the Knicks easily dismembered their defense, watched the leading score be eroded a little bit, and finally passed.

In the end, with Bai Feng's perfect performance of 32 points, 7 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 steals, the Knicks completed a big reversal on the road and defeated the Eagles 104:97, thus eliminating their opponents with a big score of 4:1 and entering the Eastern Conference finals. !

Unpopular, this is definitely a minor unpopular.

Whether it is fans or the media, the Knicks can enter the East Finals as an "unpopular", of course, it is reasonable to beat the Eagles.

The reason why it is "cold" is because the contrast between the front and the back is too great.

At the beginning of the season, everyone didn't notice the Knicks because they were a bad team.

It was Anthony's joining after the All-Star break that made this team a little hotter. People began to look forward to this team, but only from the following season. After all, the Knicks' record at that time was terrible. Nobody even thought they would make the playoffs.

After that, the 17-game winning streak that everyone is familiar with, the Knicks took the last train of the playoffs.

Then it overturned the bull, passed the eagle, and killed the Eastern Finals all the way.

It seems that every step is a matter of course, and it has not been hindered much, but back to the original point of view, this is another huge "unpopular"!

Fans and the media put key factors at one point when evaluating why the Knicks have achieved what they are today.

That was the very essence of the Knicks' rest decision in the final stages of the regular season.

It was that rest that allowed them to grab the crucial eighth position in the East!

That way, you avoid the wild half where the Heat and Celtics are!

And in the half area they are in, as long as they can overcome the difficulty of the Bulls in the first round, then it will be October Kuntu.

Yes, to look at it this way, in fact, the Knicks have only one difficulty, that is, to beat the Bulls, the No. 1 team in the league.

This task is difficult or not, but it is not easy. In short, everyone has seen the process. The young single-core Bulls team was penetrated by the Knicks' multi-core team.

But, if it's really unpopular, the Knicks are no kid!

In the playoffs of this season, the upsets in the league are one after another, one by one!

Do you think the Knicks will be cold enough for the Black Eight Bulls in the first round? In fact, it is not. After all, the Knicks have the factor of "hidden strength".

Grizzlies Black Eight Spurs, that is the biggest upset in the first round.

Well, do you think that after the first round, the second round will not be unpopular, right?

Of course not, the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Knicks victory over the Eagles is certainly not unpopular.

But this group of semifinals between the Big Three of the Heat and the Big Three of the Celtics was a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals called "Mars hitting the Earth" before the game!

Everyone thought this series was going to be inextricable.

But in the end, the Heat almost eliminated the Celtics with a clean 4:1. Almost all of the games they won were in double digits. There was only one away game. Gave the Green Shirts a game.

It seems that in this round of the Eastern Conference finals, the fans have to sigh, young is good!

I have to admit that the Celtics' Big Three are simply too old in front of the Heat's Big Three. They can't keep up with the speed or jump up, and they can't even talk about their confrontation ability.

The Heat almost killed the Celtics with their best super fast-paced counterattack!

You know, the Celtics had absolute dominance in the East last season, and they won the tiebreaker with the Lakers in the finals!

So easily killed by the Heat? Perhaps, it can't be said that this is an unpopularity, it should be that the Heat seem to be really invincible, and the defending champion probably can't stop them.

...for flowers...

Wait, the defending champion? Where is the defending champion!

If you thought the east was crazy enough, the west should be normal.

That's a big mistake, the West is even crazier!

Because the defending champion Lakers are gone, and they are still swept away!

In the Western Conference semifinals, the defending champion Lakers meet the Mavericks. No one will be optimistic about the Mavericks. After all, it is the team led by "soft egg" Nowitzki. contend.

But as soon as it came up, the Mavericks made a beautiful reversal. In the case of Kobe Bryant scoring 36 points, the Mavericks just relied on the team's 9-of-20 three-pointers.

The successful man in the later moments won the precious away game with 96:94!

But even if the Mavericks win, no one is optimistic that they can win the series, after all, the opponent is the defending champion Lakers!

The Lakers also lost at home in G1 in their first-round match against the Hornets.

But in the second game, the Lakers were in poor condition. Although Kobe scored 23 points, his hand was very average.

Just 9 for 0. The worst was the Lakers' 3-pointer, 2-for-20 from the field, 10 percent from the field.

It was supposed to be their counterattack game, but because of their abnormal performance, the Mavericks won another away game 93:81.

At the beginning, they lost two consecutive away games and fell behind 0:2.

But at this time, it seems that the fans of the Lakers are still not panic, they still said: "It doesn't matter if we lose twice, as long as we get back to the state, we will definitely win four games in a row.

Indeed, after all, as the defending champion, winning two away games in a row is no problem.

0...

But when the Mavericks played G3 at home, Kobe was severely double-teamed. He only scored 17 points on 8 of 16 shots in the game.

Stronger hands!

"Soft Egg" Dirk Nowitzki made 12 of 19 shots, 4 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 32 points and 10 rebounds!

The inside player who is good at shooting has turned into a singles madman. The inexplicable "Golden Rooster Independent" shooting has caused the Lakers to suffer a lot, and the defender has changed again, but he can't limit the promise.

Wisky's shot.

In the end, the Mavericks held their home court with 98:92, and the total score came to 3:0.

It stands to reason that with such a score, Lakers fans should be very panicked.

But strangely, their fans were not panic at all, and even said calmly: "We will definitely make a 4:3 comeback, we are the defending champions!"

However, in the next G4, the Lakers did not have any possibility of a comeback "they were blown up! And ripped apart!

122:86, the Mavericks brutalized the Lakers in G4! The three gunners on the Mavericks bench are horrible!

Jason Terry made 9 of 10 three-pointers and scored 32 points.

Barea made 9 of 14 shots and scored 22 points.

Pejastojakovic made 6 of 6 three-pointers and scored 21 points.

The three substitutes combined to score 75 points! How can this game be played?

In the whole game, the Mavericks made 20 of 32 three-pointers. The Lakers were shot and collapsed shortly after the second half, and the little shark Bynum was even frustrated.

He made a deliberately hurting action and shot Barea out of bounds with an elbow. Of course, he did not escape the referee's penalty and was directly ejected.

So, the defending champion Lakers were swept away unbelievably.

Throughout this round of the series, the Mavericks played an incredible performance, especially their main player Dirk Nowitzki, averaging 25 points per game may not be particularly explosive, but

The three-point shooting rate for the entire round is as high as 73% and the free throw rate is 94%, which is simply outrageous!

Terry, the No. 2 scorer, was not far behind, making 3.3 three-pointers per game on 69 percent shooting.

Sharpshooter Peja also averaged 2.8 3-pointers per game on 53 percent shooting.

Just looking at this group of three-point shooting data, you can probably understand that it is not wrong for the defending champion to be eliminated.

There is no doubt that the Lakers being swept is the biggest upset in the playoffs this year!

After all, the defending champ being swept by a team full of veterans and softballs does sound outrageous.

To what extent is it outrageous, even after the Lakers were eliminated, there are remarks similar to "I believe the Lakers will reverse the promotion 5:4", no matter whether such remarks

Whether laughing or sarcastic, in short, the facts once again prove that in the NBA playoffs, anything can happen.

In the other semifinals in the Western Conference, they played fiercely. The Grizzlies, who defeated the Spurs in the black eight, are currently 2:3 with the Thunder of the youth army. Although they are behind, they still have a chance of sound level.

Under such circumstances, the subsequent games seem to be clearer. The Heat, whose strength is close to "invincible", won the championship when the three biggest opponents in the West were all out one after another.

The army seems to have become a thing in the bag. .
