Chapter four hundred and fifty seventh opponent
Updated: 2013-05-02
The chaos in the East made the teams except the Celtics look a little confused. No matter whether it is the Pistons and Magic who are leading the score, or the Cavaliers who are in trouble, they dare not say that they can advance to the next level.
The main thing is the advantage in the scene, no one is obvious. Now you can win the opponent, what about the next game? Can you still win? If you throw this problem to those teams, I'm afraid no one dares to give this guarantee.
This is the problem caused by being too close to strength. In addition to the Celtics having the domineering aura of sweeping the opponent, the current weakness of the Pistons, the Cavaliers' tactics, and the Magic's lack of experience are all their shortcomings.
The Pistons have almost lost their kingly aura because of their aging personnel. The only thing they can rely on is their own defensive system and the tactical framework created by Brown, which has now been almost dismantled by Detroit.
Although Sanders hasn't finished this season, what he can bring to the team is only to enter the playoffs.
Even Detroit fans don't expect this guy to become a magical gold finger that can enlighten the Pistons to rejuvenate their youth. Detroit may only look forward to having good luck in the next draft.
As for the Cavaliers, Mike Brown's weakness determines that this is not a team that can rely on the head coach to get out of trouble. Anyway, the little emperor plays well, so they go farther, play poorly, and wait for the end.
This time they were very unlucky to meet the Wizards who were tough and crazy from time to time. The game may continue to be stalemate. Anyway, no matter who can win the final victory, it will probably take a lot of energy.
At that time, will they still have the energy to compete with the Celtics? No one dares to consider this.
The only one who is lucky is probably the Magic. Their three-point rain and strong attack in the inside line just happened to restrain the Raptors' advantageous firepower point. Bosh probably has to play in the first round of the playoffs again.
Hopefully, Toronto fans won’t continue to lament after the game, why we can’t always break through the first round!
Well, Garnett has become a bystander now. When he looked at the Raptors, he probably remembered his past with the Timberwolves. In the seven-year playoff round, maybe Bosh had the same fate.
It has to be said that these competitors now have a lot of problems that need to be solved urgently, and the Celtics’ eyeing at each other has really put a lot of pressure on them, but it is not the root cause of these problems.
The most important thing is the team's enthusiasm. Compared with the Celtics, these strong teams in the Eastern Conference have less ruthless temperament. They always leave their opponents with a chance to counterattack and cannot kill the opponent with one blow.
Even the Pistons, which have strong tactical execution, cannot guarantee continuous pressure on their opponents on both offense and defense. This intensity of confrontation is far less than the time they killed the Lakers and won the championship.
Not decisive enough and without a sense of oppression, this is the biggest mistake. When the Celtics' animals forced the Eagles to the edge of the cliff with their wolves-like cruelty, they had extremely powerful destructive power, which really made the opponent very desperate. They even gave up the idea of resistance and accepted the failure passively.
On the other hand, the Celtics, those critics say that the current Celtics win is because they are fierce enough!
Regardless of whether they can suppress the Hawks in all aspects, the Atlantas cannot play their own characteristics at home. Every point of theirs was firmly restrained by the Celtics and they were unable to counterattack.
Joe Johnson can shoot from all angles and is also the top scoring expert in the league, but the Celtics don’t give him a chance to take action at all. As long as you dare to hold the ball, there will be a madman following you!
Bibi can organize it, but Rondo's hands are always groping around him, looking for opportunities to steal.
This is the most terrifying thing in Boston. What they pursue is this close combat. Every blow can directly hit the opponent's key point. Not to mention crippling the opponent, it can also make it lose the courage to continue fighting.
This is what Rivers asks for, he wants to destroy his opponent's confidence, nothing is more direct and effective than this.
The confrontation between the seven-game battle cannot control everything, but you can try to lead the game to the direction that is beneficial to you, kill the core of the Eagles, disrupt their tactics, and finally, defeat them directly.
This is what Rivers thinks, and it is also the ultimate goal of the Celtics' animals. They understand what to do in such a playoffs. For the championship, they can play more aggressively!
When a person has desires, he is very terrible. When a team has goals, it also has great threats. The current Celtics have purpose and also have desires.
The players are eager for honor, while the team is looking forward to revival. When these momentums accumulate together, the Celtics' combat effectiveness will naturally soar to an unparalleled level, and their ferocity will come from the heart.
Especially that bald boy, he was simply the guide to Boston's outrage. With him, he was afraid that this game would not be popular? In the four games of the Hawks, although this guy averaged not high points per game, his deterrence was a group of Hawks who dared not to make trouble in the three-second zone. Josh Smith didn't dare to come in and dunk.
What kind of deterrent force is this? Although Joe Johnson scored 11 points in the first quarter of Game 4, that guy didn't dare to enter the three-second zone without a single step, all shots were fired on the periphery.
The same goes for Bibi. As long as he breaks through and cuts, his final choice is to pass the ball instead of trying to force himself.
Because these two guys were attacked by a big slap in the three-second zone during the regular season, especially Joe Johnson, who made two very beautiful breakthroughs, but in the end they were shot away by that wild boy!
If you have never been photographed like this, you will definitely not be afraid, but if you have experienced it once, you will definitely not want to have that terrifying feeling again! It is definitely not a pleasure to fly out with the ball.
Bibi was even worse that time. He had already avoided the cover of the big hand, but the big guy behind him forced him to fly, and then the animal also lay on Bibi's body.
This is your sister, the size of a power forward, not to mention how much weight he weighs, but the tendons alone are enough for Bibi to drink a pot. Moreover, the two of them flew out of the bottom line with inertia at that time.
What is the most near the bottom line? Of course, there are the most people holding the camera lens and the camera. Bibi just plunged into the crowd, and with it, the big guy behind it.
Bibi was under him at that time, and he was a Nikon camera, which was a long-lens-lens-like one. This was actually not a waste of life. The most important thing was that there was a bald wild boy lying on Bibi.
Well, the camera is below, the man is above, Bibi's small body is disabled at the time, and the location of the camera is a little weird. Some organs are seriously injured, which is really painful to the point that makes people unbearable.
With that lesson, Bibi didn't plan to snatch the Celtics' inside line since then. That's really not a place where anyone can break into it. If you hit that animal, you might either die or be injured.
It is this kind of a bit cruel defense and the tough offensive firepower network that is enough to cripple a team's will to resist. It is not obvious in the regular season, but it is fully displayed in the playoffs.
This is a sense of impact of accumulated strength. Rivers used the entire regular season to polish the Celtics' sharp blade. Now, he can finally say, "My knife has been sharpened, who will come to die now?"
The first unlucky guy has completely fallen into trouble. Atlanta fans no longer want to mention the results of those four massacres anymore. The Hawks players even avoid talking about the game.
Like Joe Johnson, after being eliminated, he really didn't say a word. Not only did he not accept an interview, but he also prepared a ticket to go abroad for a vacation early after the game and left.
Evaluation? How to evaluate those lunatics in green team uniforms? We were all four to zero, what else can I say!? If you want to ask about your feelings? Sorry, I have nothing to say, I don’t have that obligation!
As for who can evaluate those Boston beasts, it is best to ask their next opponent. These guys did not do their best in the first round, and maybe the next opponent's feelings will be simpler and more direct.
Let God bless them, I hope these guys will not suffer such a crushing defeat like the Eagles!
But everyone knows that if you really meet the Celtic group of madmen, they may only be crazy to impact your confidence when they are not sure they have an advantage, and they will not stop until you start to collapse.
With the ready-made case of the Eagles in front of you, everyone may know what kind of virtue the guys they are going to meet is. At least the Eastern Conference champions are now guarding against the Celtics except for dealing with their opponents.
However, the most helpless ones are definitely the Cavaliers and the Wizards. No matter who can overcome the first round of hard fighting, they will eventually meet the Celtics.
The duel between Washington and Cleveland is called a death fight, so their battle with the Celtics is to be killed, and if you kill, you may not be able to win. What a tragic life!
Compared with the chaos in the East, the West is definitely in order, and there is no Black Eight Miracle like the Golden State Warriors. The first round of the playoffs, with clear strength and weakness, is completely based on the media's predictions.
The Spurs are like a nemesis, suppressing the Suns. Even if the latter trades O'Neal, they still fail to make Duncan unable to find the front star at the basket, not to mention San Antonio, Parker and Ginobili are there.
The Spurs, which have already led 3-1 in the total score, seems to be the lifelong victim of the Phoenix this time.
The Hornets, which firmly rank second in the West, continue to abuse the Mavericks at home and away. It seems that this group of flying wild bees are really a bit unscrupulous. The Dallas may face the first round elimination again.
As for the Rockets and Jazz, the Utahs' blocking roles may have to continue to play like this. The Houstonian, who has less insight in the inside, can only count on McGrady to be a little more powerful, but there is little hope.
The Lakers, who began to attack fiercely in the middle of the regular season, are now completely recovering. Their fierce offensive crushes the confidence of the Denver people. The Nuggets, with the "Golden Double Gun" combination, still cannot stop the Los Angeles people.
Before the game, Anthony said confidently that he had the determination to compete with Kobe on the offensive end.
But the facts prove that his offensive efficiency is still fluctuating. When his hands are smooth, he can average 30+ per game statistics, but once he gets stuck in entanglement, this guy's feel is quite unreliable.
Iverson's efficiency is far less than when he was in Philadelphia. He had to admit that once the defender who relied on speed became thirty, his legs and feet would slow down. When the advantage was gone, the threat would naturally decrease.
However, compared with Anthony, Iverson's fighting spirit on the court was enough to allow the kid to learn for many years.
At that time, Iverson was able to fight the "ok" combination with his own strength in the finals, which shocked the entire league. After all, no one was optimistic about the Phillies, but Iverson just didn't believe in that evil, and dared to attack even if he held the ball.
This kind of motivation is not available to Anthony. At least this kid's psychology is really not as strong as the "answer". Once the score is behind, Anthony will slack off instead of thinking about how to turn the gap back!
A talented person is favored by God, but sometimes, the old guy will always take away another one for you. For example, he gives you accurate shooting skills, but forgets to give you a brave heart.
Iverson's average of 20+ per game cannot save the Nuggets' fate of losing, but he can still win applause from Staples Arena. As an opponent, being able to get home fans so politely said everything.
However, the Nuggets failed to win the game with Iverson's courage. In the first round of the Western Conference, they encountered the same fate as the Hawks, swept four to zero, watching their opponent move forward.
"The Purple Gold Dynasty is recovering! As the leader of the East and West, the Lakers, like the Celtics, both swept their opponents and yelled at all the opponents. They have been completely resurrected! The Lakers! Come back!"
This is not like the words "i'mback" from Gang Qiao, but the effect is really no different. After two seasons of despair, the Purple Gold Legion finally came back, and this time, it was so fierce!
This is Stein's favorite script. At the beginning of the season, no one expected that the Lakers would start counterattacking in the West so crazily. Many people thought that Kobe would eventually leave Los Angeles, which had no hope of winning the championship.
Then, he might go to New York, Miami, or other big cities, but this is limited to the places that can win the championship, and the Lakers are destined to be in a slump and completely sink.
Such assumptions are actually already rampant during the summer transfer period. Many people have seen Kobe's attitude expressed. If I don't win the championship, I would rather leave, even if I give up Los Angeles, a popular market.
This is a kind of paranoia and also a kind of crazy desire. Pan couldn't let himself continue to live and wait for death in a team that had no hope of winning the championship. He still had his own pursuit and wanted to bring a championship ring!
So the scripts of those media have been written long ago. They have been waiting for the moment when Kobe left Los Angeles. Then, all the contradictions, even some hearsay gossip, can be found and sold for money! Anyway, the Lakers have never lacked such rumors, but the news effect of Pan is stronger.
But after these guys were preparing for half a season, they were suddenly disrupted by Gasol's franchise. What about the transfer that he promised? Your sister, you are so unconventional! After a long time of trouble, you guy didn't leave in the end!
When Gasol, Odom, Kobe, Fisher, and Bynum began to accumulate energy and push the Lakers to the top of the West, many people may not recover. They really don’t know what’s wrong. Those who wanted to watch the fun were disappointed. What they waited for was not a collapse, but a complete recovery.
"One person activated a team, I have to say that Kupchek finally made a good deal this time."
When the regular season ended, many people evaluated the best transfer of the season and finally found a person who can be compared with Angie. Gasol's transfer is also a rare classic work by Kupchek.
Garnett and Ray Allen activated the Celtics' winning streak, and Gasol's joining the Purple and Gold Army allowed the Lakers to start from the eighth-ninth place in the West and to the position of the boss of the West!
No wonder many team managers and commentators now say that this league has begun to enter an era of coexistence of many giants. You are not afraid that your team will be bad. As long as you have enough salary space, there is still a big market.
Then, you are likely to become a strong and competitive championship team through large-scale transactions.
Look at the Celtics and then the Lakers. They are ready-made examples. Isn’t this convincing enough?
But Kupchek and Angie really want to argue with those irresponsible guys. They really think that a deal can handle everything? If the Lakers and the Celtics had a good foundation, what could one or two change?
If Gasol had only one Kobe by his side and the rest were useless, then could the Lakers still be the number one in the West?
If Garnett and Ray Allen weren't Pierce and Rondo, and the bald wild boy were helping, could the Celtics make it to the top spot in the league? They could still win 70 wins and twelve losses?
All of this is inducement. I can only say that Boston and Los Angeles have their own backgrounds. They understand how to use their own advantages to attract big names and then integrate them into the team.
"Zen Master" is a master. Similarly, Rivers also has Thibodeau and an old world like Auerbach. These external conditions, coupled with the new generation of the two teams, are very potential.
Their explosion after accumulation is not surprising, but these guys are a little cruel. Once they explode, they will get the first place in the East-West Alliance.
You have to admire that such an old-fashioned team, besides the championship flags floating on the roof of the arena, there are many things you must look up to.
It is invisible, but at critical moments, it can always save a team that is about to fall. The recovery of this old enemy may open a very tough history of confrontation for the NBA.
This may give Stein, who has never found a good selling point, many ideas. It is very fierce to dominate the alliance by one person, but without an opponent, it always feels less exciting.
When the war between the east and west is getting thick, the top spots in their respective leagues are calmly waiting for the next opponent. Perhaps, what they are looking forward to is meeting in the finals.
What kind of gorgeous scene will the old enemies, old opponents, and the dynasty that are also reviving in the ruins when they meet in the finals?
Although it is just a hypothesis now, it is enough to make people excited...
