Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 590 The first round of the playoffs

In the first half of the game, Curry's personal desire to attack was not very strong, and his shooting rate of 3 of 8 shots was relatively average, but his serial running and off-ball threat created ample opportunities for his teammates to perform. Most of the role players on the team can easily complete their scoring tasks.

After halftime, the Nets' current player with the most points is Leonard, who has scored 13 points, followed by Boban, who has also scored 10 points. What is more surprising than scoring is that the Nets are "serving" him from top to bottom, creating the best scoring environment for him.

"After Lopez was injured, we have been worried about how the Nets will fill this vacancy, because we have no Aron Baynes. None of us would have thought that Boban, who didn't have many opportunities in the regular season, would become Our savior at this position, this 2-2-1 big man is really a huge deterrent on the offensive end."

Of course, what the fans can't see is the sacrifices made by the Nets in order to bring out Boban's power. Only by making a shot did Boban become a blockbuster in this game.

However, the situation changed suddenly in the second half of the game. The 19-point difference allowed Wall and Bill, the twin stars who played the playoffs for the first time, to let go of the burden in their hearts. They were more open on the offensive end, especially Bill. The inside pick-and-roll dodges the shooting space, and hits the mid-range shot steadily, helping the Wizards once narrow the point difference to less than 15 points.

Comprehensive offensive skills, can hold the ball, can be without the ball, and the shooting level is extremely strong. Compared with CJ McCollum, Bill is better physically. In theory, when he is basically insulated from Klay Thompson, in Jiang Mingliang's heart, Bill is also basically insulated from Klay Thompson. It is also one of the shooting guards suitable for partnering with Curry. However, it seems that the difficulty of trading for Bill is not lower than that of trading for Clay. At least in the short term, this is not something Jiang Mingliang can consider.

As Wall grabbed the backcourt rebound and launched a pass, he assisted Trevor Ariza for a fast-break dunk, and the Wizards narrowed the point difference to 12 points, forcing the Nets to call a timeout quickly, interrupting the rhythm of the Wizards' counterattack. Returning from the timeout, Boban, who was gradually unable to keep up with the rhythm of the game, was replaced and Yi Jianlian appeared. At the same time, an obvious tactical change for the Nets is that Curry began to hold the ball.

Curry's ball-holding threat is far from Green's holding the ball, and Curry's off-ball running position can be compared. This fact has been proved countless times. Stevens is not Kerr, and he knows it all too well. The reason why I chose to let Green hold the ball more in this game is mainly to reduce the pressure and loss on Curry before the tough battle. How should I put it, at the end of the regular season, after all, Curry is going all out to hit the first MVP trophy in his career. In addition, the opponent Wizards in the first round is not very strong. Stevens pins his hopes on the most economical and practical way win this round.

The threat of Curry holding the ball was quickly reflected in the score. After missing two consecutive shots, Curry, who regained his touch, hit consecutive shots in the next three offenses and scored 8 points in a row, helping the team in the third quarter. At the end, the point difference was widened to 16 points.

In the final quarter of the game, the Wizards also launched counterattacks several times, hoping to close the score. However, the Nets made full preparations, and they ground the Wizards with a single eye. It wiped out the fighting spirit of this team's counterattack. With 3 minutes and 20 seconds left in the game, the Nets maintained a 17-point lead and basically secured the victory of the game. Only then did Stevens replace all the main players, and the fans at the Barclays Center also followed the team and cheered for the team's first playoff victory of the season!

The final result of the game was 109:93, and the Nets won the game without any surprises. Facts have proved that everything in the competitive arena is still measured by strength.

Curry's statistics in this game are not very dazzling, which has something to do with the team's use of him in this game. Although he also played 37 minutes in the whole game, the time is not short, but very For a long period of time, he was more of an off-the-ball point to involve the Wizards' defense. It wasn't until the second half of the third quarter that he really started to dominate the Nets' offense. He scored 24 points in the game. Points, 5 rebounds, and 8 assists.

After the game, Jiang Mingliang did not evade the pursuit of media reporters, and accepted an interview with NBC reporters: "I am very happy that we can get this key victory. This is definitely a good start for our prospects for the playoffs. I hope we Will keep winning, yes! Keep winning until we win the championship, no one will stop. I am very satisfied with the performance of the team today. I hope everyone continues to maintain."

In the other games of the first round, basically the strong teams won the final victory. The Heat almost broke the Hornets' defense and entered the playoffs. Facing an opponent with an inferior lineup like the Hornets, the Heat's Big Three plus Mayo played pretty well. The Raptors, which created the best regular season record in team history, continued the team's glory this season in the playoffs. Facing the Pacers, trash brother Lowry, DeRozan scored 52 points to help the team win . Harden's performance in the 76ers' game against the Pistons was disappointing. He made 6 of 18 shots and only scored 19 points. With 82 points, the team also lost by 17 points.

In the Western Conference game, the Spurs defeated the Utah Jazz of the youth guards by relying on Duncan's performance on the inside. The Thunder won a tragic victory against the Grizzlies. After the bloody battle went to overtime, Durant successfully made Randolph's sixth foul and graduated. The Grizzlies lost the most stable scoring points in the last two minutes and will win the game. Even if this team enters the finals to face the Nets, there is a high probability that it will be a repeat of being consumed by the Nets. The Clippers and the Mavericks also won at home. The first round of the playoffs was neither wind nor wave.

In the first round of the duel, the most exciting game was the head-to-head match between the Thunder and the Grizzlies. However, this game also made the problems that the Thunder have always had to be more extreme, that is, relying too much on Dewey and Duran. Especially, Westbrook played more than 45 minutes in this game. It can also be seen that the strength of the Thunder's rotation players is useless.

If the Nets enter the Finals and face the Thunder, the worst result would be the same as last year, relying on the advantage of the thickness of the lineup to consume the opponent alive.
