Chapter 214 I have been walking this road for two years and am very familiar with it.

What is a winner in life?

While others are still worrying about the 6 o'clock alarm clock the next day, Ao Pang has won 4 championships, given birth to 6 children, and has 8 girlfriends...

Just like you can't eat oranges if you eat too much sugar, there are very few things in Ao Pang's life that can surprise him.

But after today's game, Ao Pang smiled quite happily.

Who would have thought that two records that he has always regarded as a shame in his career could be broken in the same game - the single-game free throw record and the single-game free throw record.

He made 23 of 45 free throws, 6 more free throws than him, and 1 more iron than him (Office made 18 of 39 free throws in the 2000 Finals).

Just based on today's game, Azhan is a friend that he has lost!

This game may seem exaggerated just by looking at the statistics, but except for a few "respect the old and love the young" whistles in the first half, the subsequent free throws were actually not controversial.

, which he punched and kicked.

Stern shook his head sadly.

The league originally wanted to drain the Heat's blood and feed food into Ajan's mouth. Who expected that the Heat would backhand and release the water, and forcefully poured food into Ajan's mouth, which actually strangled Ajan to death.

What is the cruelest way to die?

That's probably like watching yourself kill yourself bit by bit.

After the game, looking at Ajan who was like a puppet on a string, Wade, who had been targeted the worst before, couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.

Today, the destruction of the Shu Kingdom cannot be blamed on Azhan. Even if he is so targeted, it will be difficult for him to guarantee his free throw percentage.

"Just be patient, there's only one more game left."

During the crucial handshake after the game, Wade softly comforted.

"Hmm...huh? There's still one more match...you mean you guys will do this again in the end?"

Azhan grabbed Hua Dian and looked at Wade in disbelief.

I say you are not human beings, but you are still addicted, right?

He held Wade's face and took a look. There was no disguise on the dark face, and the words "brotherhood" were engraved on each of the crooked cheeks. He couldn't sleep anyway, so he looked carefully for half the night and finally found out from Wade's pores.

Looking at the words, there are two words written on the whole face - eating people!

Wade was about to defend himself, but Mo Wen pushed him from behind.

"Don't be a mole, Dwyane. Why make it more difficult for yourself when you can win easily? What if LeBron masters free throws... Forget it, LeBron, go ahead."

Mo Wen still felt that he was quite humorous, but A Zhan in front of him did not show any sign of being amused. Instead, he raised a trembling finger and pointed at Mo Wen and Wade.

Mr. Mo was kind-hearted and could not see the suffering in the world, so he quickly pushed Wade away.

"Teacher Zhang, how would you rate the little MVP of the Cavaliers today?" In the Yangma commentary room, Xu Jicheng looked at the frowning black guy cosplaying a tiger on the screen with a slightly teasing smile.

"If I give him 10 points, I can give him 8 points, 6 points for his body, 1 point for his present, and 1 point for his future."

Director Zhang touched his chin and said.

"How do you say this?" Xu Jicheng tilted his head and asked.

"We can all see James' body. He can withstand the pressure of the Heat and basically play the whole game. It's really hard to say. I thought before that the full score for physical fitness should be 5 points, but his performance today is worth 6 points."

."

"However, apart from his body, he is a bit lackluster in other aspects. Whether it is Mo Wen, Wade, or Haslem, these people can defend him well. I also specifically looked for him before.

I’ve seen the game and I’ve seen that he’s also a breakthrough player, but he doesn’t have the agility of Wade, and you can see that he doesn’t have as many tricks as the square kid who plays that round card.”

"He can win the MVP this year firstly because he is the leader of the Cavaliers, and secondly because his statistics are beautiful enough."

"Mo Wen is in the Heat. O'Neal has a higher seniority and status than him, and Wade's finishing priority is higher than him. The three of them can't win the MVP not because they are not qualified, but because they can't choose one who can convince the public, you know.

, when Mo Wen goes to another team to become the boss next season, and if he performs like this, it will not be difficult to win MVP or something."

Director Zhang also had a look of longing on his face.

A Chinese can defeat many stars in the United States and win the highest personal honor of MVP. Even now, patriotic movies are not so bold!

At the press conference, the amiable reporters in the past seemed to have turned into demonic human beings today.

The never-ending flashing lights added a touch of white blood to Arjan's dark old face.

"It's a surprise to win the MVP, and it's equally exciting to play against a top team like the Heat. When the process is exciting enough, the result actually doesn't matter."

"Yes, I didn't perform very well today. I believe you have also seen that the Heat came up with a set of tactics that have never been seen before. To be honest, I was a little scared. They kept fouling and made me forget about normalcy.

The feeling of playing, I will definitely be ready for the next game. I can’t say whether I can win, but I will definitely do my best for Cleveland.”

"As you know, the sun rises slowly. I just need to make sure that we are on the right path. I believe that failure is only temporary... Of course, I don't think we are a failure. These are all steps of growth.

"

Ajan wore an awkward smile, stepped on the bench, and tried to use his feet off the ground to let his smart IQ regain the high ground again.

But the interview is not just about sending sub-questions, but also sending propositions...

"James, after today's game, do you feel that the Heat's Big Three are more qualified to win the MVP than you?"

"Today you won the scoring title with 49 points, but both Mo and Wade were more efficient than you. Who do you think is better among the three of you?"

"As an outside player, you are being targeted with shark-cutting tactics. What do you want to say?"

A Zhan pursed his lips.

His hands were crossed and twisted together under the table.

As a loser, what can he do?

Zhizhiwuwu.

Stuttering.

Disgraced.

The MVP trophy placed on his table made the scene look like a comedy.

And he was the only clown in the room.

"Next season, next season, I will prove it to you!"

"No team can always be strong, but I will become stronger. I know my performance today is very disappointing, but next season, I will get everything back from them one by one!"

"Yes, they are the strongest team, but I am the MVP!"

In front of all the cameras, Ajan loudly shouted his declaration of revenge.

This was not a hot-headed and impulsive move. What seemed like a second-rate speech actually contained his judgment about the next season.

Next season, without Mo Wen, the Heat's most stable scoring and organizational point, the Heat's decline is foreseeable.

And if Mo Wen left the Heat and joined a weak team, it would be impossible for the team to immediately have the strength to compete for the championship.

Another strong team in the Eastern Conference, the Pistons, will also lose Ben, a very restrained help defense monster, during the offseason.

One goes down and the other goes up.

Time, is on his side!

Mo Wen and Wade heard Azhan's passionate speech outside the corridor.

The Heat's press conferences are going very fast, they are winning every day, and the reporters are tired of hearing the hot words from Heat players.

"Don't let me catch you alone, otherwise... I want you to look good!"

Adults usually don't pay attention to this kind of childish threat.

But as we all know, most NBA stars have a childlike innocence.

A Zhan's words would be fine if they were used as a "fishing declaration", but there is still one game left, so he dares to say this...

His heroic words were automatically transformed into a sentence in the ears of the two of them - "You still want to leave without killing me?"

Well, yes.

…

Along with the MVP award, there are several other major and minor awards announced.

The Heat's Big Three failed to win the MVP because their performance was too average, so the league compensated them with other awards.

Riley won the title of Best General Manager for the second time. He recruited three stars to help the Heat further strengthen their strength. There is no suspense for his reelection.

Many people joke that the suspense of next year's award will basically be between Riley and the general manager Mo Wen who can recruit.

If Riley can continue to help strengthen the Heat in the summer, complete the replacement of the mainstay, and help the team build a dynasty, then it will be Riley's.

If Riley can't reach that level, he'll just have to recruit a general manager named Mo Wen to win.

The best coach was awarded to Da Fan. Although everyone knows that he is a bastard, his contribution to leading the team to break the historical winning record cannot be ignored.

The selection of the best coach basically does not refer to the results of the playoffs, because the playoffs are the stage for the stars. The coach has a role, but it is much less than the regular season. For example, the Zen Masters failed to make it to the top in three consecutive championships.

Best head coach.

But when the Zen master broke his winning streak, the judges could no longer remain indifferent.

The coach's job is to lead the team to win. If you break the winning streak and fail to win the best head coach, to a certain extent, you are denying the status and role of the coach.

The best lineup has undergone considerable changes from its historical counterpart.

What is surprising but not surprising about the best team is that all three of the Heat's big three were selected: Mo Wen, Wade, James, Nowitzki, and O'Neal;

Nash no longer has the assists title, and Kobe no longer has the scoring title, so they were both kicked out of the lineup as a matter of course.

Mo Wen had the data and the assists and steals record in the last team to support him. It is not surprising that Wade entered the team as the leading scorer on a record-breaking team.

It is not uncommon for Iverson to win the league's scoring title but not be selected for the All-NBA First Team. He experienced it once in the 2001-02 season. That year, the 76ers' record was still fifth in the Eastern Conference, and Kobe only scored 25+5+5.

Just because of his victory advantage, he surpassed Iverson in the voting.

As for McGrady, the scoring champion in 2003-04, not making the first team, it's not surprising. He won the scoring title but the team's record was last. If he hadn't played well, many people would have questioned his inclusion in the second team.

There were a lot of stunts this year.

Three third-year players from the 2003 class entered the first team together, once again making people marvel at the quality of the 2003 draft.

Apart from the Class of 1984, the only one who can compare with the Class of 2003 in quality is the Class of 1996. If the Class of 1996 wants to make up three teams in the same year, they have to add the word "pan" in front of it, and that is only possible if that idiot is included.

.

Mo Wen set another record. He became the first player in history to enter the first team as a second-round pick, which once again increased the value of the second-round pick. Except for the Pistons, the old scouts of each team were "optimized"

"There is one more excuse.

Nowadays, the dreams of managers of various teams are no longer unrealistic things like winning the No. 1 pick in 2003. Mo Wen naturally replaced Ajan and became the man of their dreams.

If we could travel back to before the 2003 draft, any second-round pick could sign Mo Wen, the last pick. No, you can’t use the second round. The first-round pick can be signed for four years, plus the Bird Rights are forced to stay for four years. They

At least you can have Mowen for 8 years!

In the first year, I trained Mo Wen, and in the second year, I directly guaranteed the playoffs. Then I would trade or train two stars to directly compete for the championship!

And if a strong team takes Mo Wen, it will be the same as the Pistons. As long as they don't make mistakes, they will have no problem winning consecutive championships!

Choosing Qiao or Shark is about showing off, and secondly, luck. But when choosing Mo Wen, all it takes is a discerning eye!

Thanks to Mo Wen, the contracts of second-round picks are basically stable for three years now. ESPN has discussed before that if the Pistons and Mo Wen had chosen to sign a three-year contract, regardless of the conflicts within the team, etc.

Don’t worry about catching up with Arenas when the contract expires——

If Detroit only has one dynasty, it will be considered as receiving subsistence allowance!

Stern: No, no, no, I think there are still some details that need to be discussed regarding the Arenas clause...

As for other gimmicks, after the Heat's Big Three shouted a few words at once, it was already considered an old joke.

On the other hand, the four teams in the Eastern Conference made many experts lament O'Fa's dominance.

I used to say that the west is strong and the east is weak every day, and the co-author is that whichever side the fat man is in is strong?

In fact, Ao Pang's data has dropped a lot this year. Just looking at the data, he can't even be ranked in the top three if he is an insider.

But if you count the data for 36 minutes, guess what, this old boy is still number one in the league!

This year’s second team members are basically all guaranteed honors: Nash, Iverson, Kobe, Duncan, Ben;

Nash is the guarantee to trigger the MVP vote, Iverson is the guarantee to lead the scoring, Ben is the guarantee to dpoy, Duncan is the guarantee to trigger the name, and Kobe is the guarantee to trigger the strength data (and godfather).

Dayao's statistics are much better than in history, but the absence of injuries and the team's failure to enter the playoffs are flaws. If he wants to enter the second team, he must continue to grow.

The three formations have become the most controversial part: Billups, Arenas, Marion, Brand, Dayao;

There is basically no guarantee of honor for the members of the third team. They only focus on statistics and achievements. There are many names that can be mentioned here.

Anthony looked at the lists of the third team and the second team over and over again, but still couldn't find his name, which made him completely angry.

He is the third-best player in the Western Conference, averaging 26+5+3 per game. Why can't he even make the third team?

Too spicy!

"The third team that was slaughtered by 58 points in a single game is third in the Western Conference without home court advantage?"

Milicic turned around and said quietly.

"Farke, I've told you before that I will fight anyone who mentions that number again. Today I will let you experience the specialties of Queens, New York!"

58 Gua clenched his fingers, gritted his teeth and attacked in the direction of Milicic with a grin.

Bosh, who was eating melon on the other side, saw this scene and calmly put down the melon in his hand, wiped his hands, closed his eyes, and covered his ears...

Ouch~~~!

Tsk, are you saying life is not good?

…

There is no suspense about the best defensive formation.

First defense: Mo Wen, Bowen, Kirilenko, Artest, Ben;

Mo Wen was also a candidate in the DPOY selection.

The team has a good record and still leads the team in steals.

However, Ben’s impression gained too many points. The Pistons had a very good record this year, and his skin was dark enough. In the end, Ben retained this honor with a 5% vote advantage.

Second defense: Kidd, Billups, Prince, Camby, Garnett, Deng Dadai;

Kidd and Billups, the enemies, both joined the second defense by a unanimous vote. In the past two years, Kidd and Billups had won various honors. With Mo Wen's rise, he has been questioned more and more. Now only

A second defense must be shared with Bibuzhong.

Among the remaining honors, Paul was still awarded the Rookie of the Year award.

Bodog's numbers with the Bobcats were better than those in his history, with 11+8, while Paul's numbers dropped a lot when the Lakers' ball rights were reduced, averaging only 14 points and 6 assists per game, but the two are still incomparable.

The Bobcats' record is last in the league, with half a game every day, and the attention is not even close to that of Los Angeles.

But a year later, Bodog's voice was obviously much quieter, although he still kept saying that he was more worthy of the Rookie of the Year award.

The Sixth Man of the Year award was won by McGrady's good friend Mike Miller.

The Most Improved Player was taken away by Diaw. Stoudemire retired from injury. Diaw took the center position and showed people another kind of center in the small ball lineup, three-pointers, support, and fast breaks. To a certain extent,

He is the ancestor of the five small centers of death.

He was also the main imitation target of Green in the early days of Chasing Eggs. As for who Green imitated in the later stages?

Early Green.

…

In G4, Mike Brown fought to the death and came up with four sets of life-threatening tactics "three-pointer", "fast break", "free throw" and "free throw 2" to go crazy for the final face.

At the beginning, the Cavaliers put Damon Jones and Marshall, who also has good three-point ability, into the starting lineup. They cooperated with Reed and Big Z to directly maximize the space.

The mid-range pick-and-roll between Ajan and Big Z created a lot of mid-range openings.

But Ajan was not sure.

Historically, he averaged 4.3 shots per game in the mid-range and short-range range of 8-16 feet this season, but could only hit 1.6, with a shooting rate of less than 40%.

But for Aofang's defensive strategy of retreating and shrinking, this distance is what makes him most uncomfortable.

It's a pity that Azhan doesn't know how to do it and rarely practices it.

He would rather go to the gym day after day than leave his comfort zone.

In the 2007 playoffs, Ajan took 25% of his shots in the mid-range and short-range range, but his shooting percentage dropped to 26%. He can still lead the Cavaliers to the finals. I have to say this is a miracle.

But it was just a useless miracle, which to some extent gave him the illusion that his talent could solve everything.

Ajan's mid-range shooting didn't begin to improve significantly until he left for the Heat in 2011. In 2012, the win-or-lose season, Ajan's mid-range and short-range shooting percentage once reached 48%, which was barely enough to earn the reimbursement.

From his level before the serious injury, it can be seen that he still has talent.

Unfortunately, his subsequent weight loss and indulgence after becoming famous made him leave the middle distance in his credit book.

Mo Wen easily saw through the Cavaliers' thoughts, so on the defensive end, he mainly devoted his energy to cutting off Ajan's breakthrough and blocking the passing path.

He and Wade are interested in recruiting Ajan again, but this kind of shooter is not easy to double-team in the lineup.

Ajan was unable to achieve the effect of breaking through the ball, and this lineup only lasted for half a quarter before being deactivated.

Damon Jones and Marshall were used as substitutes because of their confrontation and defensive issues.

Damon Jones had a good effect when he played for the Heat before, because there were Mo Wen, Wade/Rasual, and Haslem, these flexible striker players who could help him delay and defend in time.

As for the Cavaliers' forward line, Reid himself can't protect himself. Marshall was one of the main members who defended Yao Ming for 50 points before. Ajan can do the job of making up for the leaks, but let King be the fire brigade?

On the offensive end, Mo Wen and Wade randomly named Damon Jones, and Haslem, who was tough and tough, was able to score two goals against Marshall. Needless to say, Big Z was an orphan in the paint.

Marshall is not as heavy as Wade, so if he is asked to help support O'Pang, O'Pang will be able to fly together easily.

Fortunately, Damon Jones and Marshall each scored a three-pointer, otherwise the score difference would have been double digits in this half quarter.

In the middle of the first quarter, the Cavaliers changed their formation, replacing Damon Jones with Ronald Murray and Varejao replacing Big Z.

Mike Brown experimented with two tactics at the same time, "Fast Break" and "Free Throw 2".

Offense relies on rushing, defense relies on penalties. The goal is clear, which is to kill sharks.

What was unexpected was that O'Pang, who stood on the free throw line, actually made the first two free throws.

At the camera, Leo showed a proud smile.

After the last game, he specially practiced free throws. He had a premonition that the Cavaliers might cause trouble.

The Cavaliers have a lot of insiders. If they want to return the title of free throw king to him, wouldn't their previous happiness be in vain?

Of course, how effective is it? So far, it looks pretty good.

Returning to the offensive end, the Cavaliers' fast break lasted two rounds in a decent manner.

Just when the home fans were pleasantly surprised and thought that the home team had finally found the key to winning, the Heat's forward group suddenly began to press the whole court, interrupting the Cavaliers' fragile offensive rhythm.

Fast breaks test the ability of the ball handler and also test the tacit understanding between players.

Experimental tactics can gain an advantage in one or two rounds by relying on changes, but without the tacit understanding of long-term exercises, it is only a matter of time before they fail.

Varejao's physical talent is okay, but O'Pang who carries the tail of his peak is just kidding.

As a second-year rookie, he hasn't developed any movie-winning abilities. Fortunately, he has a first-class sense of fouls and basically won't give Ao Pang a chance to score 2+1.

Ao Pang also knew that the previous two free throws were due to luck, and there was no chance of an immediate victory, so he kept playing his role as a containment.

You see there are two people on the inside, but in fact Varejao has tried his best just to support O'Fatty, and has no other thoughts about protecting the frame.

Mo Wen and Wade did not miss this good opportunity to improve their statistics. They passed the defender and scored when they entered.

There is no way, Mike Brown can only pin his hopes on Ajan and Reed.

If they can blow the home whistle, there is still a glimmer of hope in the game.

But after taking the field, the referee did not intend to continue to give Ajan or the Cavaliers too much preferential treatment.

The referee on the field has been "on leave".

More than 50 free throws can't help. There is really no need to forcefully support this gap.

Moreover, the Heat's results are good, so they speak loudly. Although the referees are highly independent, they cannot ignore the surging public opinion.

To put it bluntly - bully the weak and fear the strong.

Cavaliers fans cheered for their players at the top of their lungs.

But the situation on the field became increasingly worse.

As the Cavaliers' various experiments failed, they returned to the rhythm of the regular season.

It won't work if I don't change it back.

The Heat led by 13 points after the first quarter and were about to be slaughtered again.

And what if the Cavaliers return to their regular rhythm?

"Another three-pointer, god, Reid is playing like the boss of the Cavaliers during this period!"

"James should get back to his form earlier. Did the 49 points in the last game drain him of his physical strength? He made 2 of 12 shots today and only scored 7 points in the third quarter including free throws. He has already won the MVP and can no longer use the same skills as before.

You have to hold yourself to the standards you set!"

"James should be tougher. It's difficult to get a good chance just by running; it's even harder to get a championship!"

In the commentary box on the sidelines, Barkley shouted with some hatred.

Of course Ajan on the court couldn't hear what Barkley was saying, but he knew that if he wanted to keep breathing, he had to run.

Because the demon who wanted to compete with him for air in G1 of the series is back again!

And this time, not only Mo Wen and Wade, but other Heat players were also targeting him intentionally or unintentionally.

He played a pick-and-roll with Drew Gooden and then cut to the basket. As soon as he received the ball, O'Brien, who had not moved before, flashed in front of him with a ballet swan dance.

He finally found some space to shoot a three-pointer, but Rasul came out next to him and secretly blocked his shot.

He was about to pick up a long rebound on the outside, but Haslem came over and pushed him half a meter away.

No, he is just a small MVP. Is it worth it?

Of course it’s worth it!

Ajan's "Declaration of Revenge" made the news.

Many Heat players admire Ajan's character of daring to love and hate.

But now - Sakmedik, Bitchi!

This is so specific that Mo Mo will sigh when he hears it.

He is obviously still just a child...how can he thrive if you don't work harder!

The Heat's blockade was in place, but Ajan still successfully broke through the blockade with 17 shots and 6 free throws, achieving the goal of scoring in double figures.

Facts have proved that it is still too difficult to limit the scoring of a person with the ball to single digits.

And it is quite difficult for a person who has the ball to not score a point in ten minutes.

In the end, the Heat defeated the Cavaliers 112:88, a small victory of 24 points.

At the end of this campaign, Mo Wen, who had been extremely active on the defensive end before, still scored 22 points and 10 assists.

Wade, the "King of Garbage Time", scored 30 points, 4 assists, 5 rebounds, 1 steal and 5 bananas.

O'Pang played efficiently every day, playing 28 minutes and scoring 20 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

If it wasn't for the purpose of spending more time with A Zhan, he might have fallen off in 25 minutes.

Ajan played 40 minutes and scored 12 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds.

The score is second only to Reid with 29 points, Big Z with 16 points, and Marshall with 13 points, ranking fourth in the Cavaliers team.

Azhan tried his best, but teammate C... didn't move.

Think about it, if Ajan's score could rank sixth on the team, would the Cavaliers be able to win this game?

(Ahem, that’s a bit much...)

At the end of the game, amid heartfelt applause from Cleveland fans, the Heat put the Cavaliers on the train to next season.

A'Zhan tried hard to put on an expression of "Actually, I'm okay", but from his actions as if his body had been hollowed out, the Heat and the rest could still see his deep sense of loss.

Although they are both failures, losing a hard fight and being swept are completely different things.

If you fight hard and lose, you can know through failure where you have problems and need to improve.

But if you are swept away and have no experience of success, you don’t even know what’s wrong with you!

"You...you must..."

"Don't worry, I've been walking this road for two years and I'm very familiar with it."

Mo Wen patted Azhan on the back, listening to the familiar sentence patterns and making the same promise.

"Come on, I'm having a lot of fun playing in this series. I kind of understand how McDuck felt at the time. It would be quite boring to have the same old friends every year."

In the copy space, Mo Wen can already encounter repeated copies, such as [Nightmare Copy] or [Hell Copy], which are based on the regional finals or finals. The number is limited, and repetition is only a matter of time.

According to mathematical calculations, when there are 50 students in a class, there is a 97% probability that two people will have the same birthday. The more difficult the copy of Mowen is, the more familiar and boring it will become.

It was also interesting for Mo Wen to be able to play against a completely different lineup in reality.

Azhan opened his mouth.

The game is obviously over, why can Mo Wen still cause harm to him?

"Just wait, I'll be back!"

I don't know whether it was because of jealousy or humiliation, but fighting spirit and strength rose from Azhan's body again.

"Isn't this Cleveland? Where are you going back?"

Mo Wen blinked in surprise.

"Of course I'm going back to the playoffs. Where else can I go back? No matter you are in the East or the West, I will definitely stand above you next year!" Ajan made a promise by smashing his chest.

Mo Wen breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a "decision".

…

"That kid will be in trouble next year."

On the return plane, Payton yawned, looked out the window at the white clouds and green fields and murmured.

"Not necessarily. There is someone who may be more troublesome than him."

Mo Wen stretched out his body, raised his head and glanced at his teammates with different expressions.

For some reason, he, who had developed a familiar personality in the dungeon, felt a bit alienated when facing this group of familiar bastards.

"Who?" Payton asked curiously.

Mo Wen didn't say anything explicitly, he just reached out and flicked the slightly reflective cabin window.

Knock knock——

"There are still two stops, it will be soon." Mo Wen straightened his hairstyle through the window glass and exhaled.

"Haha, yes, I'm almost at the terminal. Remember to remind me to get off, young man."

…

The Heat became the first team to advance to the conference finals.

At the same time, the other three semi-final teams returned to their original starting point after four fierce battles.

3 2:2 level

Three Tianwang Mountains.

In the Eastern Conference, the Nets and Pistons, Kidd and Billups met again in the playoffs after a year apart.

Fortunately, because of the change of coach Sanders, the two did not die together like they did in 2004.

But after testing for 4 games, Tianwangshan, the two teams that mainly focus on offense during the regular season, unanimously switched to full defense mode.

Seeing that the Pistons only scored 10 points in the first quarter and the Nets, who were defending, only scored 11 points in the second quarter, Mo Wen couldn't help but sigh.

It's back, it's all back!

After the Tianwangshan battle between the two teams, the Pistons, who were at home, unfortunately lost to the Nets 76:78.

The Nets led by 5 free throws, but the Pistons actually lost to themselves.

They made 11 of 22 free throws, which is not to say that any one of them was not good at free throws. Except for Ben, who usually made 1 of 4 free throws, several others also made more or less mistakes in free throws.

The morale of the Nets has been greatly boosted. Sure enough, they still have to follow the pace of the league championship. It is good to have more stars.

But after this game, the Pistons generals learned the hard way and sacrificed Billups, letting him struggle with Kidd throughout the game, blocking the Nets' engine, and finally evened the score again in the sixth game with great difficulty.

The league originally wanted to create a gimmick of four point guards.

But who would have imagined that Billups and Kidd directly killed Stern's dream with 10 points in a single game and 2 points in a single game.

The top four point guards made 0 of 8 shots, 0 of 6 three-pointers, and only scored 2 points on free throws?

If you are afraid, let's promote Nash and Mo Wenxi to compete for supremacy.

In G7, Carter made 7 of 21 shots under Prince's blockade, plus Jefferson made 4 of 12 shots. The two offensive arrows were frighteningly inefficient.

Although the Pistons were also inefficient, they were accustomed to inefficient offenses before and still relied on their rich experience to defeat the Nets.

Mo Wen also felt a little pity.

The double Wallaces are still there this year, and it will not be easy for the Heat to surpass them.

On the other hand, the Nets seem to have a strong team. Carter, Jefferson, and Raheem are all famous players. They focus on fast breaks and have a certain degree of restraint against the Heat's lineup.

But their inside line protection was too poor, and Mo Wen kept his rhythm and basically smashed through them at will.

…

The Western Conference, Suns and Clippers also unexpectedly reached the tiebreaker.

As expected, the Clippers, with Kaman and Brand, blasted the Suns' rebounding to shreds.

The Clippers averaged 10 more rebounds per game than the Suns, which directly made up for their lost efficiency in fast breaks and positional duels.

Brand even overwhelmed the non-mainstream insiders in the Suns, averaging 30 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists per game.

It's a pity that in the last game, the Clippers, who had little experience, still let the experienced Nash steal the rhythm twice, and finally fell into the Suns' fast break and forgot about it.

The final winner, the battle between cows and horses, was naturally the most intense competition in this round.

Nowitzki's absolute strength in the playoffs is one point worse than being stupid.

But Nowitzki has enough helpers.

In addition, the Spurs are missing Finley, who was originally supposed to join, and have only strengthened two players from the Development League. The overall strength has still declined slightly. But just stay in the dream.

The two teams fought all the way to the tiebreaker.

In the last 33 seconds, Ginobili hit a three-pointer for the game-winner.

That's when San Antonio hailed him as a hero.

He made another foul and gave away everything with his own hands.

With the scorer 2+1, Nowitzki seized the opportunity to equalize the score again, and in the last 3 seconds, he sent a fatal block.

In overtime, the Spurs chose to gamble on Duncan, who had basically played all the playing time.

The Mavericks, on the other hand, chose to take advantage of the considerable luxury tax that Cuban paid to the league.

They were 1 for 7, and almost every one of the Mavericks' role players played a role.

Since then, the conference finals teams for both sides have finally been determined.

In the Eastern Conference, the Heat face the Pistons;

Western Conference, Suns vs. Mavericks;
