Build a Dream Dynasty

On April 23, the NBA officially announced the list of players for the best team and best defensive team this season.

Curry, Harden, James, Anthony Davis, and Marc Gasol were successfully selected for the first team. Of course, the most controversial is the selection of Davis at the power forward position. Davis has played more roles in the Pelicans this season. Time is the role of the center, but he was selected to the best team as a power forward. Of course, many people are not convinced. For example, Griffin and Aldridge, who led the team to the upper half of the Western Conference, and Love, who led the poor and weak Magic back to the playoffs, and so on. There is nothing controversial about Gasol Jr. at the center position. He is also one of the most powerful contenders for the best defensive player with Dreaming Green.

Paul, Westbrook, Griffin, Aldridge, and Cousins ​​entered the second team of the best team. Except for Westbrook's slight controversy because of his slightly poor grades, other problems are not very big. Irving, Klay Thompson, Gasol, Love, and Duncan won three teams.

The list of the best defensive team includes Paul, Tony Allen, Dreaming Green, Davis and Jordan. The list of the second team of the All-Defensive Team includes Wall, Butler, Iguodala, Duncan, and Gasol Jr.

"If you don't make it to the playoffs, you'll be defending one after the other, you're a fucking son of America." Jiang Mingliang couldn't help complaining with thick eyebrows.

The strength is indeed there, but it is also a fact that the alliance is really crazy about Brother Nongmei, trying every means to give him honor.

How can an insider who is thousands of miles away from the playoffs win the honor of one team and one defense? Isn't this bullshit?

In contrast, Paul has had a bit of bad luck this season. For a long time in the season, Paul was in the top five picks on the MVP list, but he was abruptly squeezed out by the 2009 duo of Curry and Harden. After a while, it was also a little bit wronged.

To make matters worse, on April 24, the Bucks lost 112:121 to the Cavaliers in an away game, and were eliminated by the opponent with a big score of 4:2.

Under normal circumstances, it is not a special thing to be counterattacked by the fifth in the fourth place. Among other things, the Trail Blazers in the fourth place in the Western Conference this season were easily killed by the Grizzlies in the fifth place in the Western Conference 4:1. Not as much as expected. The problem is that this happened to Paul, and it was overthrown by the team led by Irving, who had not yet fulfilled his rookie contract. This is really worth talking about.

When Paul fans compete with Curry and Westbrook fans, they usually like to grasp the definition of "traditional point guard" to write a lot. However, in reality, even the new generation of Irving can't beat this "tradition". What is the need to persist?

For the Bucks, this somewhat failed playoffs means that the team has a lot of problems to solve. In the starting lineup, neither Larry Sanders nor Antetokounmpo can help the team open space. In the playoffs, the Cavaliers can resolutely double-team Paul after he breaks into the basket. The shooting percentage at the basket has been greatly reduced. The Bucks lacked a strong solution but cracked the opponent's defensive strategy. This is also the consistent problem of Paul's team.

To build a team around Paul, the Bucks management still needs to complete a lot of work.

The 76ers and the Nets lost a total of one game, and the Eastern Conference semifinals between the two teams also took the lead.

This is also the first round in which the Nets have no home court advantage in the first three seasons. Even the team is a down dog in terms of positioning, and the mentality of the team is relatively relaxed.

Porzingis and Asik stood on both sides of the referee. Although the game had not yet started, the tense atmosphere was already on the verge of breaking out. The two pairs of burning eyes were staring at the basketball in the referee's hands. tensed muscles.

As the orange basketball gradually rose, both of them jumped up. Porzingis, who had an absolute advantage in height and jumping, won the jump ball for the Nets. In fact, Porzingis Si didn't lose a few times.

JR Smith grabs the ball, passes it to Curry, and he drives straight inside.

At this time, the 76ers players have not yet reacted. There are too many players gathered near the midfield, and there is no room for easy activation. Just look at JR's light layup and score.

The 76ers attacked, Harden did not force a breakthrough, but quickly handed the ball to James. Facing an opponent like the 76ers, the 76ers focused more and did a lot of preparations before the game. James feinted, broke through Aminu's defense, and hit a mid-range jumper to help the 76ers tie the score.

Curry used the pick-and-roll to break through Beverly, and the ball was sent to the baseline Aminu in time. The latter's three-pointer missed. Qu, withstood Asik, widened the distance between the two, easily took off and hit.

Mirotic pulls to the perimeter to do a pick-and-roll for Harden. Facing Green's supplementary defense, Harden is not as comfortable as in previous games. He breaks into the three-second zone from the middle. With a good opportunity, with a light flick of the wrist, the ball quickly flew into the hands of Mirotic on the outside. The latter made a fake shot and hit a two-pointer from close range.

After the opening, the Nets started a fast-paced battle with the 76ers. Both sides come and go, and the tactics are more radical.

Green's long midfield pass was delivered to the inside, and Porzingis made a realistic fake move, easily deceiving Asik, and the ball went into the basket.

James broke through and scored, and Harden hit a three-pointer from the right wing.

A pass error by the Nets, Harden, James, and Asik easily played three-on-two, and finally Asik scored a dunk.

Curry took a big step outside the three-point line, suddenly jumped up and made a hit.

The underdog Nets played very well in the first quarter, making 15 of 24 shots in a single quarter and scoring 41 points. Although the 76ers are not as efficient as the Nets, their performance of 12 of 23 shots is definitely considered qualified, and in the first quarter of the game, Harden won a lot of free throw opportunities for the team. James also sent a 2+1, and the team temporarily fell behind 35:41.

In the second quarter of the game, the 76ers continued to face off with a replacement lineup. The bench lineup of Neto, Ingles, James Jones, Grant, and Perkins is still good. Ingles performed pretty well in the Sixth Man TV later this season. He made 40.1% of his outside shots and averaged 13.1 points per game. He is definitely a main player in other teams. More importantly, he is not The pure shooter type whose performance will decline in tough battles, he is closer to Turkoglu of Turkey, his ability to organize and pass the ball is quite good, and his defense is a bit dirty, most of the time he will not pit his teammates on the defensive end.

In a team that already has two ball-holding points, James and Harden, the role of Ingles has been weakened a lot. It is expected that he will test the free agent market this summer, and he is likely to get a big contract . This pit will also be a big burden for the 76ers next season.

In contrast, the Nets' bench strength is slightly weaker. How should I put it, some of Jiang Mingliang's transactions are indeed questionable from now on. Including the deal of signing veteran Carter, it doesn't seem to be very successful now, it doesn't match up, and this season, the hope of bringing the team legend a championship is not very great.

However, after the start of the game, Will Barton of the Nets showed a good competitive state in this game, and used singles to score consecutively to help the Nets maintain a weak lead. After the end of the season, Barton will also become a restricted free agent. Better performance in the playoffs will help him get a better contract.

The situation was not good. The 76ers replaced James Harden in advance to lead the team to chase points. After Harden came on the field, he immediately completed a classic pick-and-roll cooperation with Grant, and a high throw helped Grant to complete the alley-oop.

Grant, a power forward, has good physical fitness, good athletic talent, and good flexibility on the defensive end. In the 76ers, his talent has been well developed and provided good help for the team, especially It's the cooperation with Harden, which is very threatening.

In the playoffs, Harden's concentration on the defensive end has also improved. In the next round of defense, he successfully completed a steal against Carter. During the fast break, he assisted Grant again and completed a dunk. Score a slam dunk at the Best Five level.

Seeing that the opponent's momentum was full, Stevens quickly called a timeout to cool down the boiling atmosphere on the scene, and then replaced Curry.

In the playoffs, whether it was intended or not, when the team is in trouble, Curry will have a heavier burden on his shoulders, which is a matter of course. This is especially true when facing the strongest opponent of the 76ers this season. Neither the Nets nor Curry can have any reservations, because they don't know whether there will be a next round of games.

After his debut, in the first round of offense, Curry used his offensive threat to create a chance for O'Quinn to attack the frame at close range. However, O'Quinn failed to grasp this opportunity and missed a layup. Perkins Take the rebound. Fortunately, in the transition of offense and defense, Neto also missed a three-pointer.

Curry missed a jumper from the left wing, Terrence Jones took the lead and dialed the ball into the basket, and the Nets barely extended their lead to 5 points.

After opening the scoring box, the Nets suddenly found a way to attack. Harden missed the basket. Carter grabbed the rebound in the penalty area. With a long pass, Will Patton, who had already been ambushing in the midfield, scored a layup. ..

Grant missed a pass from Harden. After O'Quinn received the rebound, the Nets played a connecting attack again. Curry made a 3-pointer from the top of the circle. Carter should take the lead in this shot. After he attracted the Suns' defensive player, he made a wonderful pass, and the ball was handed over to Curry, who came late and came first.

The Nets scored consecutively, widened the point difference to double digits, and successfully forced James out of the field. At the same time, the Nets also arranged all the main lineup on the field.

However, the next seven minutes were indeed the most embarrassing seven minutes for the Nets throughout the season. James, who had recovered to full strength, began to attack the Nets' defense line violently. The speed, strength, and explosiveness all fell behind Ah Minu was completely powerless to stop James' offense, and when the Nets chose to double-team, James' excellent overall view and passing skills ensured that he could find the most difficult person for the Nets to rotate and help defend.

In seven minutes, James led the 76ers to a 24:4 attack wave, and led the 76ers to overtake the Nets by 10 points at 75:65 at halftime.

James' condition this season is much better than when he was with the Heat. In the 76ers, he doesn't need to gain weight to top the inside line. The team's inside line is not top-notch, but it's good to have someone to open up the space and someone to help top the man. use. The team has an offensive point like Harden that can also be entrusted with important tasks. James does not need to fuck himself hard for more than 40 minutes. The team has an excellent bench lineup, and even in the last quarter of the regular season, James found The 5-game rotation allowed James to get the best rest for his body, and all of these have seen obvious returns in the playoffs.

In the locker room, after a few words of reprimand, Stevens still chose to encourage the players. Now blindly reprimanding them will not benefit the morale of the team much, and may be counterproductive. And in itself, a player like James is not an easy role to deal with.

At the start of the second half, Curry took advantage of Porzingis' pick-and-roll to find a chance to shoot from the mid-range. Yang made a shot and scored to help the team narrow the point difference to single digits. At this time, the team needs him The number one man stood up.

Mirotic pulled the perimeter to fake a pick-and-roll and messed up the Nets' defense. James also found a chance to shoot from the mid-range. He also tried to make his hand feel as soft as possible. After hitting the back eaves of the basket, Curry stuck in front of Beverly and grabbed the rebound. As soon as he turned around, he collided with Beverly and was knocked to the ground.

Bever used a tactical foul to prevent Curry from taking advantage of the opportunity at this stage to complete the attack again, but his foul action made Curry a little uncomfortable. The two quickly put their heads on each other and began to talk trash to each other. pull away.

Beverley is very keen to do this kind of mentality thing in the game, but don't forget that the Nets also have people who are proficient in this way.

The 76ers are undoubtedly much better than the Raptors, but Asik is much easier to deal with than Howard in the interior matchup. Against the 76ers and the Nets, Porzingis is a A very stable scoring point, the bullhorn frame singles Asik, Porzingis used a fake move to hit Asik, then broke through with the ball and went inside, facing Mirotic's supplementary defense and completed a goal After the beautiful dunk, Porzingis waved his arms and roared to celebrate this beautiful slam dunk.

At the beginning of the second half, the Nets' counterattack came very quickly, and people have to feel the strength of this team. Although the core players in the team are injured, even though the opponent is the strongest team this season, the Nets still seem to have the strength to compete with the opponent, and the players are trying their best to maximize their advantages. This may be related to the team's head coach , cannot get rid of the relationship.
