Build a Dream Dynasty

There is a five-day break from the end of the regular season to the start of the playoffs. Stevens announced a rest on the 13th and 14th, and did not resume training until the 15th, and did not use too much intensity. Mainly to restore physical strength.

In the regular season, the Nets and the Raptors played four games. The team took the lead 3:1, and it was still based on the fact that there was no large-scale "shark cutting". However, after coming to the playoffs, the Nets will not talk about martial arts like the regular season. If they encounter any unfavorable situation, they have to attack Howard when they should attack Howard.

Of course, the Raptors will not sit still for this weakness. How to properly solve Howard's problem and not be hit by the Nets is the key to whether the Raptors can compete with the Nets. After all, this is the NBA, and there is no possibility that there is a player on the team who plays a great role on the defensive end, but the free throws on the offensive end are not stable and easy to be targeted, so there is no possibility of a solution. The 7 innings and 4 wins in the playoffs are a test of the ability of the head coaches of both sides to fight wits and courage.

On April 16th, the first four games of the playoffs, the 76ers easily defeated the Magic 105 to 85 at home. James Harden scored 47 points in three quarters and did not give the opponent a chance. The performance in the first round of the game was as strong as ever. The Spurs defeated the Rockets 101 to 94. The Rockets dragged the suspense of the game until the last moment of the game. Although the defeat was glorious, the old-fashioned Spurs did a good job in handling key points. Although Butler was not efficient Famous, but he is really good at key shots. Entering the All-Star this season, he can be regarded as officially taking over Duncan's class and becoming the tactical core of the Spurs. In the most balanced matchup, the Grizzlies defeated the Trail Blazers with a score of 109:94. The score could not reflect the gap between the two sides. The high-intensity confrontation imposed by the black and white bears made Aldridge feel at a loss throughout the game. The gap is much larger than the score reflects.

And the only one who has finished the game is the Cavaliers. Facing Paul, who was still competing with Curry for the title of the league's first point guard until this season, the young and energetic Irving completely exploded Paul with a performance of 41 points in a single game. The Bucks gave up their armor and led the team to win 113:101, regaining their home court advantage in the playoffs.

On the whole, after entering the playoffs, the antagonism of the game has suddenly increased. The intensity of the entire game, including the scale of referee whistle-offs, has changed. The battle of wits and courage between the two sides is more interesting. This is why Jiang Mingliang likes the playoffs far more than the All-Star Game.

. . . . . .

On April 17, the Nets made their home debut.

Stevens announced the starting lineup in the locker room. Curry, JR Smith, Aminu, Dreaming Green, Porzingis, there is no change from the regular season.

In the team's first playoff game, the atmosphere at home was extremely hot, especially when Curry played, the cheers were deafening.

Raptors starting: Lowry, DeRozan, James Johnson, Josh Smith, Howard.

The ball is afraid of being young, Porzingis wins with a jump ball, and the Nets attack first.

JR held the ball frame in the middle, Chasing Dream pulled out to pick and roll, and Porzingis gave Curry an off-ball screen on the left.

JR got rid of DeRozan with the ball, broke through from the right, and Smith switched defenses in time. At the same time, Howard and Lowry stared at Curry at the same time, but ignored Porzingis. The latter received a pass from JR and raised his hand It's just a snap.

The Raptors attacked and focused on the inside. It has been verified in the regular season that Howard's size is against an insider like Porzingis, and a good tactic is to let the insider play more.

After flattening the Nets' defense, Howard split the ball to DeRozan in time, and the latter made an easy mid-range hit. This kind of ball is rarely played in the regular season, but it is different in the playoffs.

Howard actually maintains this attitude. Although it will not continue to compete with young people for the first center, it is really not difficult to at least get a maximum salary. His problem is that 80% of the games he needs to be coaxed to play by others, how is this possible?

Curry and Chasing Dream attracted Smith to switch defenses after the pick and roll, and passed the ball in the middle. Chasing Dream faced Lowry, feinted, and relied on his height advantage to score with a jumper. 4:2, the team continued to maintain a weak lead. ,

The Raptors attacked, Lowry took the ball to the frontcourt, handed the ball to DeRozan, retreated and broke through to the left, and suddenly pulled up a jumper, which was slightly stronger and missed.

The Nets slowed down the pace, the players pulled away, and Curry and Green picked and rolled again. After attracting Smith to switch defenses, he took out a little space and passed to Porzingis in the low post on the right.

Attacking in the most familiar position, this seems to be a good one-on-one opportunity. Porzingis singled Howard face-to-face, turned around and shot in the middle, and missed under the interference of Howard. Smith grabbed the rebound and passed to Lowry. Pushing forward quickly, he came to the middle and made a dry shot. His shooting rhythm was very good, and he hit Curry's defense. 4 to 5.

The Nets attacked and almost used up 24 seconds. JR missed a jumper under the interference of DeRozan. Howard grabbed the rebound and launched a fast break again. Facing Anderson, James Johnson rushed forward with his head down, took three steps as soon as he entered the three-point line, forced a layup with his strength advantage, and made a shot under the interference of Aminu, 4:7.

After the opening, the Nets' offense was a bit too complicated. Curry still hoped to drive his teammates through his own efforts, so there were not many personal offenses. However, it is a pity that the teammates somewhat failed Curry's expectations, and their offensive performance was relatively average. Fortunately, the Raptors started the game mainly by testing, after all, the opponent in front of them was a two-time champion. Even if he is suffering from injuries, it is not an easy role to deal with.

It was a mistake for the Raptors not to seize the opening stage to establish an advantage. After returning from the first official timeout, Curry began to increase the proportion of his personal offense. On the offensive end, echoing Curry, instead of simply landing on the ground as a fortress, the lethality of the Nets' positional offense suddenly rose to a higher level, and the Nets quickly overtook the score.

In the playoffs, it is very important to have a super scorer with stable output efficiency. In comparison, Lowry, DeRozan, and Howard are not players of this level or style. The Trash Brothers were one of the best backcourt combinations in the East during the regular season, but in the playoffs, the two began to lose balance in the high-intensity duel again.

In the first quarter of the game, the Nets ended with a 7-point lead at 29:22.

In the second quarter of the game, the Nets continued to crush the Raptors on the superstar orange. There is nothing to say. In the playoffs, the Nets also increased Curry's playing time. Today is different from the past. The team lineup The advantage in thickness is no longer so obvious, and when it's time to put pressure on the superstar, it's time to put everything in his hands.

Carter and Smith are both people with relatively strong shooting ability in their respective positions, and they are both people who are more able to contain the opponent's defense. Defensively, Porzingis and Green did a good job of protecting the rebound in Howard's absence, grabbing it and immediately launching a counterattack.

DeRozan's performance in the playoffs was too hip. Facing JR, whose evaluation in the regular season was far inferior to his own, DeRozan's offensive efficiency was quite low, and his shooting percentage was even less than one-third. The hand was completely misfired, which really caught Casey off guard. The team trailed the Nets by 21 points at halftime, and the game seemed to lose suspense early.

Curry scored 15 points and 6 assists, made 6 of 10 shots, and 3 of 4 three-pointers. He became the number one contributor to the team's lead. It scored 2+0 again, leading the team to widen the difference between the two sides to 26 points at the beginning of the third quarter.

Leading by a big score, Stevens replaced the main players after a normal third quarter and began to drill the lineup. Taylor Johnson, Will Barton, Kyle O'Quinn and other substitutes all got the chance to play.

The Raptors took the opportunity to recover some points, but when Curry, Porzingis, and Smith played in the fourth quarter, the point difference widened again.

The playoff data is not included in the MVP selection for the regular season, so when it comes to the playoffs, the opponents can be rotated, and there is no need to take into account the mood of the boss.

The Nets maintained their advantage until the end, making a good start 113 to 95.

Carter made 10 of 17 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, scored 29 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals.

After the game, Jiang Mingliang, who came to watch the game, was also stopped by media reporters to ask questions. In addition to the problems of the game itself, there was also the issue of the impending marriage of the two that Jessica revealed in Italy recently.

"We do have the desire to get married. We've both reached marriageable age and experienced everything that is required before marriage, and in my opinion it's time to take the next step. We haven't told our parents yet, But I believe they will bless us." Jiang Mingliang did not hesitate to cooperate with Jessica to continue this topic, as he said, it is time to go further.

Jiang Mingliang has many plans for the future, for example, to be a father?

"Have you considered the specific wedding date, or waiting until the Nets win the championship is a good choice, what do you think?\

,""Well, for me, I still separate work and life. Regardless of whether the Nets win the championship or not, I will marry Jessica. Although the time has not been finalized, it should not be too far away."

Jiang Mingliang positively responded to the "marriage" rumors, which also broke the hearts of many of his female fans, but how to put it, Jiang Mingliang himself is not a traffic superstar, and his image is slightly more positive than Tear Onion and Chen Ou. Because of this, I still receive more blessings in China.

In the other three games played today, the top-ranked teams in the regular season all won.

The Jazz beat the Thunder 124:98. Although the Thunder still has Westbrook, it is not enough for the Jazz's five-goal starting five to play against the Jazz.

The Hawks faced the Wizards, and encountered a little bit of trouble at that time. Wall was better than they imagined.

The Mavericks easily won the game against the Clippers. The Clippers' lineup has changed dramatically this season, but Embiid, who the team has given high hopes for, was reimbursed early this season, making the team's lineup look relatively average. But Rivers still meshes the lineup well.

However, facing an opponent like the Mavericks, the Clippers really can't beat them.

. . . . . .

In the G2 game, the Raptors failed to cause too much trouble for the Nets. The team's three-pointers were completely blocked. They only made 4 of 15 shots in the game, including a three-pointer in the half. It was tricked into it.

Lowry of the Raptors had a good shooting percentage, 7 of 15, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 8 of 9 free throws, 26 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. This is already his best performance against the Nets.

The lack of accuracy in outside shots is the big problem for the Raptors. Except for Lowry, everyone else's outside shots are not very accurate. This is the team's biggest problem.

. . . . . . .

The team went to Toronto to prepare for the next away trip, and Jiang Mingliang also went with the team. However, at such a busy stall, Jiang Mingliang dressed in a low-key manner and quietly went to a certain coffee shop. The office that has already been booked is already waiting for a big beauty in advance.

Ouyang Mi, who took off his coat, was wearing a white knitted sweater. There were only a few biscuits on the table, and nothing to eat. His faint eyes scanned the passing crowd outside the window. The autumn sun shone on her face from the window, and the soft fluff was clearly visible, making her white cheeks even more refined. Maybe it was because she felt someone was coming, and when she saw Jiang Mingliang coming, she stood up and smiled at him after being slightly taken aback, as a greeting.

"Long time no see, Ouyang." Jiang Mingliang greeted with a smile.

Sitting opposite her, taking off his coat and putting it on the chair, Jiang Mingliang said, "Ouyang, you haven't ordered anything yet, why don't I order some food, let's chat while eating."

The atmosphere is a little awkward,

But Ouyang Mi didn't come at the right time. After all, Jiang Mingliang announced the progress of his relationship with Jessica not long ago.

Although not afraid, but always feel troublesome.
