The Point Guard is Here

Four Hundred and Two: The Eastern Conference Finals are the real test

Game 4 against Miami came quickly.

Although there is an air of reluctance to be swept away in the ebullient city of Miami, some impassioned rallies can be heard on television and on the radio.

Of course, it also contains a lot of praise for Dwyane Wade.

The United States is a country that attaches great importance to sports. The basketball atmosphere here in Miami is quite strong. Pat Riley's management for so many years has always put the Heat in the position of a strong team. Therefore, the fan base is cultivated very solidly.

Many leading players of NBA teams can become the pride of a city and are still highly respected even after retirement. In this regard, the country on the other side of the ocean has not done very well.

Wade is now becoming a basketball symbol in Miami at a visible speed, especially after he broke the Heat's record in the last game.

As a rookie, it can be said that he was able to achieve such an achievement in his rookie season, which is rare in history.

He is also worthy of being one of the new generation of decorated players.

Therefore, this is why Fanshie said to Wade after the third game: It seems that Lamar Odom's injury is a good thing for you.

Human destiny is so strange.

If Lamar Odom hadn't gone to the bathroom to peel an apple, Wade wouldn't have had unlimited firepower. If the opponent was not the Knicks, he would not have been able to get such a relaxed defense, and naturally he would not have been able to become famous overnight.

LeBron James is very envious of Wade.

He said on the phone with Fanci that it would be great if I was the one who led the team into the playoffs.

James is a man who yearns for honor.

While he won Cleveland's heart faster than Wade...he's a local. Cleveland is a small, remote city. Small cities tend to be more fanatical about sports, and they cherish their hard-earned chosen ones. Highly respected for this kid coming out of Akron.

However, he knew early on that if his personal honors could not be combined with team honors as soon as possible, he would be short-lived and his greatness would be like a castle in the air. People will always respect players who bring championships to the city, rather than a player who scores super invincible statistics.

James' cognition is sober, and he understood this truth earlier than many famous superstars.

so,

He is very envious of Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade, who led the team to the playoffs in their rookie season. Both of them were called his lifelong enemies by the American media.

Fan Xi comforted him on the phone: As long as you are yourself, what you want will come automatically. The future must belong to you.

James is willing to believe Fan Xi.

He is also prepared. He even thinks secretly that at his current age, his father can still maintain his peak for seven or eight years. Even if he retires with seven or eight championships, I will rise by then and our father and son will dominate the league. Wouldn’t it be wrong? nice?

Fanci helped James in Game 4.

He took care of the Miami Heat.

New York didn't want the series to go on forever, and they had no interest in bringing the game back to Madison Square Garden to sell out another game.

James Dolan was also very supportive of the team continuing their sweep.

The Knicks are already the most profitable team in the NBA, and far surpass the second place. Therefore, it does not make much sense to earn one or two more ticket sales.

Dolan is not a Grandet.

Dwyane Wade still played very well in this game. The Knicks did not suppress him strongly. The Knicks just used a more efficient offense to crush them.

129:103.

This doesn't even look like a playoff score.

Wade continued to score 39 points in this game. At the end of the game, many fans at the scene were shouting his name, D-wade.

For Miami, Dwyane Wade is their biggest surprise this year. They have great dreams. They think Wade, who is younger than Fanshie, will finally complete this revenge.

Playing in the playoffs for the first time, facing a terrifying senior like Fan Xi, he averaged 32.5 points per game, which is already very, very, very impressive.

The future is promising.

Fan Xi also praised Wade in the same way.

Although he is actually only four and a half years older than Wade, he looks even younger than Wade.

But people have long been ingrained in him that he has the authority to say such things to Wade.

Frankly speaking, there are not many players who can play in the NBA for ten years and enjoy high media exposure since entering the league.

Moreover, with Fanshi's qualifications, he can even say to Tim Duncan: The future belongs to you.

Some things are just so outrageous.

In American street terms, Fan Xi is a complete Young-OG.

After ending its dominance over Miami with a super high score, Miami is about to face the Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference decisive battle... Although their semifinals with the New Jersey Nets have not yet ended, no one is expecting New Jersey to maintain a counterattack.

The war between the Knicks and the Pistons is called the competition between the strongest spear and the strongest shield.

Compared to the Knicks, who frequently scored more than 120 points in the playoffs.

The Pistons are as stingy as Grandet. Their scoring average in the regular season this season is 82.6 points. So far in the playoffs, their scoring average has dropped to 80.5 points.

And their opponents are lower than them.

They strictly practice the basketball philosophy of Although I can't shoot the ball, you can't even try to shoot the basketball.

This is Larry Brown’s label.

Although before the playoffs started, many people said that they did not have a true superstar, so they could not go further in the playoffs.

However, they won the two playoff rounds very solidly.

Proved the power of the team with practical actions.

Larry Brown's tactical play caused very dismal TV ratings, continuously breaking through the lower limit of playoff ratings. But I have to say that no matter how ugly the game is, as long as you can win, it is a good game.

Detroit workers don't care about flashy offensives.

They are the simple working class and engineers with stable emotions. Of course, they will also give two fists to Artest's head.

Reggie Miller has been practicing in the training hall in the past two days. For him, the Pistons are an opponent that must be defeated.

He believes that if there were no Pistons, he would lead the Pacers to the championship and fulfill his great legend of one man, one city.

However, Sprewell reminded him bluntly: You should blame Ron Artest and it has nothing to do with the Pistons. If there is no piston, there are other plugs, spark plugs, or rigid plugs.

This is indeed a truth, a slap in the face cannot make a difference.

Since everything happens, it has its inherent reason.

What's more, even if that incident didn't happen to you, do you think you can beat us?

The madman's words made Miller angry.

Miller hit him with the ball on the spot.

The madman kept his smile while being stared at by Fan Xi.

Although it was a joke, the madman did not mean any harm.

But speaking of it, it is very detrimental to unity.

It's like many years later, someone said to another person: We were already the championship before you came.

Since they are already on the same team, it would seem too low-level to differentiate between them.

Fortunately, Reggie Miller is not a man who loves to drink bathwater, and his personality is not sensitive. Although the madman is not very smart, he still knows how to respect his leader.

Now we're going to specifically look at how to deal with the Detroit Pistons.

Grant Hill calls everyone together.

A team with many veteran players will always have a meeting convener.

Everyone can also enter the atmosphere of democratic discussion more easily.

Obviously, the Pistons are a completely different team from the previous Bucks and Heat. The previous two teams used elite players to drive tactics. To deal with such teams, as long as you pinch their stars, they will basically be inseparable.

So, winning is easy.

The Knicks have a lot of experience and proven leaders.

The Pistons are the complete opposite. You can say Chauncey Billups is their brains, you can say Rasheed Wallace is their core, and you can say Ben Wallace controls their defense.

Even Prince and Hamilton are indispensable.

They are a tight unit, running like a precision machine in Larry Brown's tactical system.

Moreover, even if there is a flaw in one link, the other four points can maintain efficient operation.

This is Larry Brown's achievement.

They play like college basketball.

College basketball relies on the head coach.

We're going to run some half-court drills in hot situations.

Isiah Thomas also has his considerations.

Essentially, neither Isiah Thomas nor Don Cheney are first-rate head coaches, but they are rich in experience and have strong resumes as players. Thomas has a Bole-like vision. He can see through the hidden abilities of a player, but He lacks the ability to react on the spot and control the locker room.

Thomas is a leader player and the head coach of the Bad Boys. Therefore, he has a lot of bad habits in the locker room, and it is difficult for him to be both kind and powerful in the true sense. He is a head coach who can easily get along with the players, but he cannot issue a majestic order and make everyone surrender. Because many times he can't do it himself.

Fan Xi always said to him, Gong begets enlightenment, integrity begets prestige.

But he couldn't listen.

Therefore, he probably will never be a top head coach in this life. But that's fine, now that he is a team consultant, he is very competent. He, Don Cheney, Loyote and several assistant coaches can be regarded as members of the Knicks advisory group.

In the fifth game between the New Jersey Nets and the Detroit Pistons, Fanci organized the whole team to watch. They were doing team building at the Sprewell family's villa.

Although Isiah Thomas, as the team's general manager and executive head coach, has given repeated orders not to turn it into a pool party.

However, Sprewell is a warm and hospitable person. He has been in New York for so many years and has many resources, so he just managed to get some girls to come over.

The Smiling Assassin wouldn't be a top head coach if it weren't for him. He clearly gave in to the job three times, but ended up bringing two of them over personally.

After bringing it over, he said the quality he brought was not good and went to hook up with the ‘resources’ in Sprulerville.

How can a person like this be a good head coach?

Larry Brown, Popovich, Chuck Daly, even Phil Jackson and other colleagues cannot do this kind of thing.

What's interesting is that the quality of the Knicks' players is really high.

Madman is famous for not being close to women, Hill is a gentleman, and Miller, although his eyes are wandering, knows what is most important now.

Instead, the boys on the bench were playing around in the swimming pool.

Important people like Fan Xi were watching the game in the living room on the second floor.

The Pistons' style of play was not innovative, but the Nets were beaten by them. The most important thing was that the atmosphere at the home court of the Palace of Auburn Hills was truly terrifying. Through the TV screen, you could hear the blue-collar workers shouting labor slogans in unison with passion. A lot of swearing.

You say, can you blame us?

Stephen Jackson spread his palms and said to Madman and others: If it were you, you would fight too.

Sprewell said that we must convince others with virtue.

The Nets lack an attacker. Kittles, Jefferson, and Jason Kidd are not the kind of people who can easily penetrate into the penalty area with the basketball. Fanshie and Grant Hill said.

The Pistons' defense in the penalty area is ridiculously strong, and the New Jersey Nets' offensive power is so weak, so they were naturally beaten.

The Knicks' direct attack ability in the penalty area is also very weak. Ratliff, Mutombo, Anthony Mason and others are all blue-collar players, and so is Juwan Howard in a strict sense.

The Knicks lack O'Neal's strong inside presence that can force open spaces in the paint.

Fortunately, the Knicks' offensive power is not weak. Before Fan Xi had to shoot, he relied on breakthroughs. Although Sprewell is a bit older, he is also an offensive talent. There is also Grant Hill. Although the attack with the ball has weakened now, his cutting and positioning without the ball is becoming more and more amazing.

This is something the Nets don't have.

Chauncy is becoming more and more like a general now. Fanci commented on Billups who played well tonight. He used to call Billups: Flounder.

They have known each other since they were very young.

He was the No. 3 point guard in the reality show where Fan Xi first became famous. Although he was older than Fan Xi, he entered the league in 1997. His entry into the league was not satisfactory at the beginning, and he was traded in various ways. After arriving at the Pistons, he regained his vitality. Although it is difficult to see him on the rankings, he is still a 50-50 score against anyone he beats.

And he always has the final say.

He is known as the representative of big-hearted players.

Hamilton is a top shooter. He can run so well. Reggie Miller commented on another Pistons defender. He said to the Madman: To defend him, there is only one word, run! He is a marathon runner.

Madman doesn't like chasing the defense very much. He is a one-on-one defensive player.

Prince has a large defensive area. Although he is not old, he has good defensive experience. Stephen Jackson commented on the Pistons' third position.

Then, Anthony Mason said: Both Wallaces are very good at defense, and Rasheed Wallace also has the ability to shoot from the outside, which is difficult to deal with.

It's not difficult to see from the serious demeanor of the Knicks players.

The Eastern Conference Finals are the real test.
