Chapter 488 The opponent is determined

After breakfast the next day, Yang Shuai sent Gladys to his residence, and then drove to the arena. The playoffs began, but Yang Shuai's training did not relax at all.

In the Western Conference, the Warriors are the only team to advance, and the remaining rounds of matchups have not yet been decided.

Among them, the Lakers and Thunder, and the Mavericks and Nuggets only played four games. The Lakers led the Thunder 3:1, while the Mavericks tied with the Nuggets 2:2.

The Suns and Jazz just played their fifth game last night. The Suns won the game at home, leading the Jazz 3:2 to get the match point.

The Warriors' next opponent will be the winner between the fourth and fifth teams, which is one of the two teams, the Mavericks and the Nuggets. The two teams tied with 2:2, which also means that they

There are at least two games to be played, and of course there may be three.

Each round of NBA playoffs has a corresponding time period. The Warriors ended the first round of playoffs early, but they had to wait until all teams finished the first round before the second round officially started.

game.

On days without games, the Warriors were training on the one hand, and on the other hand, they began to pay attention to the games of other teams, especially the matchup between the Mavericks and the Nuggets.

The Mavericks and Nuggets are both very good teams. Since the trade in the middle of this season, the Mavericks' combat effectiveness has skyrocketed. The absolute core of the team is Dirk Nowitzki, although in 2006

After the 2007 Finals and the 2007 playoffs, many people questioned his leadership ability, but it is undeniable that he is the best offensive player among the fourth-position players in the league today.

Kidd's arrival is very important for Nowitzki. With Kidd's support, he can completely focus on offense, and relatively, his offensive power can be better utilized. After all, whether it is Jason

-Neither Terry nor Devin Harris are defenders with very strong organizational skills. Their greater role lies in their own offense.

Kidd is completely different. He and Nash are considered to be the last generation of pure point guards. On the court, his first priority is to pass good balls to his teammates, and his own offense comes second.

Butler's arrival is an excellent supplement to the Mavericks' forward line. The Mavericks' unsatisfactory performance in the past two years has a lot to do with their third position. Josh Howard has been trapped by injuries in the past two seasons.

, the state has been unsatisfactory, but Butler's state has no problems.

As for the Nuggets, since Billups arrived, they have been showing strong competitiveness. In terms of team configuration, they are not weaker than the top four teams in the Western Conference.

As the team's leading scorer, Carmelo Anthony is also a superstar in the league. Although many people think that Anthony lacks leadership qualities, it is undeniable that at least in terms of scoring, he is enough to rank first in the league.

Billups is another dangerous figure for the Nuggets. This former Finals MVP has a good psychological quality. At critical moments, he is even more feared than Anthony.

It is precisely because both teams are not weak that after four games, they tied at 2:2.

At the beginning of the battle between the two teams, the Nuggets made their fans full of expectations, because in the first game, the Nuggets played in a very good state on the road. They defeated the Mavericks 121:109 on the road.

But in the next two games, the Nuggets lost to the Mavericks, including their first home game of this year's playoffs. Fortunately, in the next home game, the Nuggets played very well.

, although the Mavericks also played extremely well in this game, the final score was fixed at 111:114. The Nuggets won by 3 points and the total score was tied at 2:2.

The night after the fifth game against the Spurs ended, Warriors players watched another showdown between the Mavericks and the Nuggets. This was the fifth game between the two sides.

"Beep!" At the end of the game, Nelson stood up and asked the Warriors players: "Okay, guys, do you want to express your opinion?"

Opinion? Yang Shuai raised his eyebrows after hearing this. The Mavericks deserved to win this game. Anyone with a discerning eye will know where the problem lies at a glance: defense!

In this game, the Mavericks showed a stronger defense than the Nuggets, so they won the game. The Nuggets did not have much oppressive defense throughout the game, and they allowed the Mavericks to score three players

If it exceeds 20, this game is not unfairly lost.

Yang Shuai saw the problem, but he didn't say anything. Old Nelson could also see the problems he could see, but his coaching style determined that it was impossible for Old Nelson to make the Warriors a strong defensive team. However, Yang Shuai believed that now

Yes, with the guidance of Mike Malone, the Warriors' defense will at least not be unacceptably bad.

Nelson's question was not answered. The Mavericks were leading 3:2. It was indeed very difficult to judge who could advance to the second round at this time. Although the Mavericks eventually won the game, the Nuggets also showed very good strength.

.

The Warriors players dispersed, while Nelson and his coaching staff continued to study the two opponents, while Yang Shuai watched the remaining three games today after returning home.

In the first round of the playoffs, Yang Shuai watched almost every game. Because he set his sights on the finals, he not only stared at the Mavericks and Nuggets, but also wanted to understand the other strong teams.

status.

There are four games on this day. In addition to the Mavericks and Nuggets, there are also the Lakers and Thunder, the Cavaliers and Bulls, and the Hawks and Bucks.

The Thunder, which was trailing 1:3, fought hard to tie the score to 2:3. If they want to advance to the second round, they must win the next two games.

In the Eastern Conference, the top-ranked Cavaliers and the eighth-ranked Bulls played the fifth game. Before that, the Cavaliers led the Bulls 3:1. After this game, the Cavaliers eliminated the young Bulls 4:1.

Entered the second round.

Similar to the Cavaliers, before today, the Hawks also led the Bucks 3:1. They also won the fifth game and eliminated their opponents and entered the second round.

As a result, three teams in the Eastern Conference have entered the second round. The only ones that have not yet decided are the Celtics and the Heat. This group of games is considered to be the most interesting matchup in the first round of the Eastern Conference.

The fans were disappointed. After four games, the two teams were tied at 2:2. In the crucial fifth game, the Celtics relied on their pressing defense to limit the Heat's offense and get match point.

The next day, all the Warriors players also came to the training hall. There was no game, and they needed to maintain their condition through training. There was no matchup between the Mavericks and the Nuggets today, so Nelson did not organize to watch the game. Yang Shuai was like

I watched all the games as before.

There were only two games that night. The Suns played against the Jazz. The Suns, who held the match point, did not give the Jazz a chance. At the Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City, which is the home of the Devils, the Suns, playing away from home, won the game with a 2-point advantage, 4:

2 eliminated the Jazz and became the second team in the Western Conference to advance to the second round.

In the Eastern Conference, the Celtics and Heat will play the sixth game of this round. Like the Suns, the Celtics hold match points. If they can win, they will advance to the second round.

Because of the Celtics, Yang Shuai watched this game very carefully. He was surprised to find that the Celtics' defense, which many people thought had declined during the regular season, was still so strong. Heat star Wade

He suffered a lot in this game. He, who is good at breakthroughs, could not break into the Celtics' inside line. He could only fire from the outside again and again, and his shooting rate was very unsatisfactory.

When Wade, the Heat's most advantageous point, failed to perform well against the Celtics, the situation was completely controlled by the Celtics. Entering the second half, Wade, who was unable to open up the situation, seemed a little bit

Being impatient can only make the Heat sink deeper and deeper.

With an 11-point advantage, the Celtics defeated the Heat in an away game. After winning Game 6, they also advanced to the second round.

The next day, the Lakers and Thunder, and the Mavericks and Nuggets also had their sixth game. The Lakers, who had the upper hand, did not give the Thunder another chance. With the team performing well, the Lakers easily defeated the Thunder and advanced to the second round.

.

Compared with the game between the Lakers and Thunder, the game between the Mavericks and the Nuggets was several times more intense. Two teams of similar strength started a battle at the home court of the Denver Nuggets. 17 times were tied and 25 times.

Alternating the lead, just from this data you can see how intense this game is.

In the end, the Nuggets, who had no way to retreat, became the winners of the game. With Anthony's accurate kill before the end of the game, they narrowly won by 1 point at home.

With a 3:3 tie, the Mavericks and Nuggets became the only teams in the first round of the playoffs that needed a tiebreaker to determine the outcome.

The Warriors' opponent is still not determined, so they, like many fans, are paying attention to the seventh game between the Mavericks and the Nuggets.

This is the last game of this round, and many fans have chosen to watch it. For the Warriors, this will be the game to determine their opponent, so they naturally have to pay attention.

The game did not disappoint the fans, and the intensity was completely comparable to the previous match between the two teams. Of course, the lack of disappointment was only for Mavericks fans, while Nuggets fans were greatly disappointed.

4:3, the fourth-ranked Mavericks had the last laugh. In the crucial seventh game, they showed strong strength at their home court. In the end, they won the Nuggets with a 6-point advantage and became the last team to advance.

Second round teams.

"When the second round begins, you will definitely not laugh so happily." Looking at the smiles of Mavericks fans on the screen, Yang Shuai thought to himself.

Mavericks! This is the opponent the Warriors need to face in the second round.

The biggest impression Warriors players have on the Mavericks is a month ago, when the Mavericks ended the Warriors' 19-game winning streak.

The biggest impression Mavericks players have on the Warriors dates back to three years ago, when the Warriors created a miracle on the Mavericks.

As the saying goes, enemies never get together. Now, these enemies are really going to meet again. ^-^138 Kanshu.com (www.) No pop-up window reading^-^
