The Celtics under normal conditions may be one of the best teams in the league in terms of positional battles.

They have Embiid, a new generation of low-post killers, as well as Irving, the unsolved one-on-one fighter who once assisted James, and Jason Tatum, a super rookie who is long-term in offense.

There are three offensive choices on the offensive end of a team. If it can be used properly, it is simply a natural thing to become the best positional team.

There is also a team structure that looks very similar to the Celtics.

That is the Lakers who have James, Durant and Paul.

Their positional battle singles are like a super-enhanced version of the Celtics. But the Lakers spent a regular season time looking for ways for James and Paul to coexist.

They don't want to sacrifice the ability of any one to fulfill another.

As a result, the answer they got was only four words: heroism.

James is more at low positions to do axes, Durant wanders at high positions, and Paul controls the arc top. Although he still cannot fully display the abilities of James and Paul, this is the most reasonable way the Lakers can think of.

The difference between the Lakers and the Celtics is that their three stars are all older.

James has two championships in hand, and he is eager to surpass Jordan, but he has only two championships at the age of 33. Not to mention Jordan, he is far from Wei Xia of the same age.

Therefore, he is willing to sacrifice part of his ball rights to gain more honors.

Paul has never reached the division final before joining the Lakers. The 183-centimeter masked man sneaked into the floor of the Western Conference Finals has lasted for a long time among Chinese fans. Now he is joining an unparalleled strong team. If he sacrifices the ball rights in exchange for honor, he will recognize it.

Durant is more eager for the championship. He has been compared with Wei Xia and James since 2011.

Now, both of them are successful and famous super giants. He is still empty-handed. He thought that joining the Lakers would join Wei Xia, but he only got an apology from the other party. He waited for a year in a daze before James joined.

The composition of many superstars has made the outside world's expectations for the Lakers break through the sky, and they also use appropriate boos to cooperate with each other.

This conscious spirit of sacrifice is not available to the Celtics.

Or it should be said that they had, but under the influence of some people, they disappeared.

The Celtics' tactics became singles. Irving changed to others to play after singles. Due to a large number of singles, the 76ers gained many opportunities to rotate and attack.

From the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals, they played an exaggerated 25.3% offensive round. The Bucks were playing conversion offenses. This is the only team in the playoffs that accounts for more than 20%. Even the Lakers, who also advocate rapid advancement, have "only" 18%.

To make a conversion, make sure you have two points first.

The team's athletic talent is strong enough to run;

The defense must be good, be able to defend against the opponent's attack and catch the rebound.

The 76ers' defense is good, but with so many rotational offenses, it shows off their athletic ability as if the American Dream Team were playing in the fiba game, which was entirely due to the inefficient singles of the Celtics.

game3 is the most obvious one.

The Celtics increased their defensive intensity, and in the first half, both sides' shooting percentages were controlled below 40%.

Then, the conversion became a weapon for the 76ers to finish the game. In the first half, the shooting feels sluggish - or the shooting sights were biased throughout the game, but the conversion and bottom-shock offense in the second half increased the shooting percentage - the 76ers player found a way to put the ball indirectly and efficiently into the basket, but the Celtics did not do it.

Judging from the pure shooting percentage, the 76ers hit 38.5%, the Celtics hit 37%, the former made 4 of 21 three-pointers and the latter made 4 of 19 three-pointers. Entering the second half, the shooting level of the two teams was still poor, the 76ers made 4 of 16, and the Celtics made 5 of 22, but the overall shooting percentage of the 76ers rose to 52.1%, while the Celtics' shooting percentage was still at 38.6%.

Although the conversion times of the two teams are similar, with the Celtics launching 26 times and the 76ers launching 29 times, the Celtics only have 13 points in fast break scoring, while the 76ers have 32 points.

The Celtics have no direct and efficient way to dismantle the 76ers' defense. This is a problem that has troubled the Celtics throughout the series. No Celtic player has the ability to directly tear the 76ers' defense line, and even their best assassin Irving has not done this.

3 to 0

With 11 consecutive victories since the start of the playoffs, it is very likely that they will advance to the finals without losing.

The strength of the 76ers has already amazed observers. They have theoretical first player and first center in the league. In addition, they are only 40 years old, and are still Kobe at the top 20 level in the league, and have a high-quality role player.

Judging from the lineup, the Celtics are not under them, but they are just beaten to the point of being unable to resist.

The Celtics, who were completely abused by the 76ers, were the first to be blamed for the robbery. Irving averaged 22.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 3.8 turnovers, 37% shooting percentage and 24% three-point shooting percentage.

"I don't know how to explain why Irving is down because he is not the kind of player who will retreat in tough battles." The Celtics head coach was confused about Irving's condition.

Defensive strength does not explain the dilemma Irving encountered.

Fans prefer to regard this as another manifestation of Wei Xia's ability to solve single defense.

The acl tear ten years ago damaged Wei Xia's lateral movement speed. The experience of possessing Larry Bird made Wei Xia begin to move towards becoming a stream of consciousness defender. He no longer relies on physical fitness, but instead won with small movements, confrontation, endurance and prediction.

Although his defensive achievements in the present are already outstanding enough, basketball experts agree that he will be even more terrifying to put him in an era of accessible defensiveness.

Irving's sluggish book helped Tatum block Thunder.

Tatum averaged 11.3 points per game against the Sixers, shooting 33% and not even a three-pointer.

The performance of these two blacksmiths indirectly dragged down Embiid.

The performance of outside players is closely related to inside players. If they play well, the inside will get space and perform better singles. If they don’t play well, the opponent will naturally shrink the space.

Embiid performed poorly, and he and his teammates accounted for half of the reasons.

If the three best players in the team are struggling on the offensive end, winning will naturally become a difficult thing.

Wei Xia's concern about this matter is also about Irving and Tatum.

They are all famous "Bryant disciples", and they are all players who Kobe personally admits to "having the Mamba spirit".

"I think they look very similar to you, who is young."

Before the game 4 game, the Lakers team took the bus to the North Shore Garden, and Wei Xia asked Kobe to make fun of it.

"Can you blame the old man?" Cousins ​​didn't expect that Wei Xia could let Kobe come out to block the gun every time.

"Don't you think they are persistent and full of persistent paranoia about the career of blacksmithing. They are very Mamba-spirited?" Wei Xia looked at Kobe, "You admit this too, right?"

Cousins ​​has to admire Wei Xia. He can find a point that is tied to Kobe in anything.

The most difficult thing is that sometimes the events he chooses can really get involved, so Kobe cannot argue.

He had long given up discussing these things with Wei Xia. He thought that he had been in and out of the alliance for 22 years and had taken countless blame. Is it still a shortage of this? Even if you come, why should he be afraid of it!

"When we reach the final, it must be an extraordinary series." Oubre mentioned.

While the 76ers smashed the Celtics in a ruthless manner, on the battlefield in the Western Conference, the Lakers and the Warriors tied in the first four games.

Just as the outside world expects, the Warriors have the ability to compete with the Lakers. However, not many supporters of the defending champions, and no basketball fan doesn't want to see the 76ers meet the Lakers in the finals.

This means endless topics and fateful encounters.

Wish and lbj are already 84 doubles in history. They have played six times in the East before, with three wins and three losses and a draw.

Coupled with the entanglement between Walt Wei and Kobe and the Lakers, as well as the participation of Durant, Paul, and Cousins, this is likely to be the most star-studded finals since 1984.

There are three top ten in the first round of the series, five out of the top five in the league, six out of the top 20 in the league, and all the top 30 superstars in the history 2.

The highlights, storyliness, and topicality are all full.

This is definitely a series that can attract fans who don’t watch basketball to watch the game.

Therefore, Oubre's remarks caused heated discussions on the bus.

Wei Xia doesn't have as many ideas as they have, but she has doubts about whether Kobe will do his best to play the Lakers: "You won't treat the Lakers as your team at that time, right?"

"I'm old, but I'm not old and confused yet, I will definitely use all my strength!" Kobe said affirmatively, "Only when we win the championship can I prove that I'm right to leave Los Angeles!"

After listening to Kobe's words, Wei Xia was silent for a while.

Yes, Kobe reminded him.

He remembered why Jerry Bass refused to give him a maximum salary, and even withdraw his offer later. He got the answer very early. With the death of Old Bass, he proved himself by winning the championship and poaching Kobe from Los Angeles... He has completed self-provement and revenge. But now, James and Durant have come to Los Angeles with the influence recognized by Old Bass and enter the finals. If he can defeat the Lakers in the finals, it will be a more powerful revenge than poaching Kobe from Los Angeles.

This will be an invincible proof!

This is also the last thing Wei Xia wants to prove.

1Cousins ​​entered for a while, which is theoretically the top five of the season.
Chapter completed!
