I’m Really Playing Basketball

The first round of the playoffs between the Bobcats and Cavaliers was extremely easy.

Originally, many people thought that whether the Cavaliers or the Bobcats advanced, both teams would have to shed a layer of skin.

After all, in a confrontational environment like the playoffs, after a round of playoff games, not only major injuries, but also minor injuries and illnesses are inevitable.

For example, in the game between the Heat and the Magic last season, Dayao and Wade were both injured.

For example, in the playoffs between the Magic and the Nets last season, Maizi suffered a minor injury.

Therefore, before the start of the playoffs between the Cavaliers and Bobcats, many Bobcats fans are worried about the situation of Roy, the team's current No. 2 player.

If Chen Xiao encounters huge pressure, Roy will definitely stand up. With Roy's physical condition, if he really stands up, maybe the Bobcats can advance, but his body...

Therefore, after the Bobcats defeated the Cavaliers 4-1 and easily advanced, the happiest fans of the Bobcats were Roy fans.

Roy became the starter in this series, averaging 17.5 points and 6.5 assists per game and easily advanced with Chen Xiao and the Bobcats.

I have to say that according to the ranking of the Eastern Conference, the fourth vs. fifth team must be the most difficult. I didn’t expect that the Bobcats were the first team in the Eastern Conference to advance to the second round. It is really incredible to say that. .

This season's Eastern Conference playoffs are very fierce. Except for the Bobcats and Cavaliers, every other group is very fierce.

For example, the game between the Raptors, No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, and the Bulls, No. 8 in the Eastern Conference.

Even though the Bulls don't have as strong a tactical system and head coach as the Raptors, the Bulls' players are really strong!

Almost every position can be matched.

For example, the Bulls' Deron can match up with the Raptors' Nash.

For example, the Bulls' Big Z can match up with the Raptors' Milicic.

For example, the Bulls' Luol Deng can also match up with the Raptors' O'Neal.

And the Bulls' Ben Gordon has no problem at all against the Raptors' Laga Bell.

Even the Bulls' Nocioni can match up with Josh Smith or Rashard Lewis.

Although in most matchups, the Bulls are not as good at offense and defense as the Raptors.

But if this group of Bulls players are in good offensive form, no team in the league will be able to beat them easily.

And what's more important is that the Bulls team is very united. They grow together and become stronger together. They have a very good relationship and a very strong tacit understanding. Moreover, there is nothing like the incident with Kobe Bryant in history. The combat effectiveness they are showing now is extremely strong.

Historically, as the 2006 champions, the Heat could be said to have been humiliated by the Bulls from the regular season all the way to the playoffs in the 2006-07 season.

In this time and space, it is not the 0607 season, it is the 0708 season. The Bulls are stronger than in history, and much stronger. After all, the Bulls in history do not have players like Deron and Big Z.

Therefore, the Raptors, who were originally No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, wanted to advance easily. Because they fought hard to be No. 1 in the league during the regular season, the Raptors also wanted to use the first round of the playoffs to adjust their status.

But it doesn't matter if you don't adjust. Once you adjust, it will be a bit ruined. G1 was bombarded by the heat of the away game as soon as it came up.

In the previous four games, the Raptors and Bulls played 2-2.

Seeing the anxiety of this series heading towards a tiebreaker, the Raptors and Nelson couldn't sit still. Forget about adjusting their status, the Bulls are really not a team that can be defeated casually.

Especially for the Bulls' core Deron Williams, no one in the Raptors can match up with him, and no one can suppress him like Chen Xiao. This is very uncomfortable.

I have to say that Deron's performance in the playoffs this season is truly Diaw, averaging 25 points and 11 assists per game. Not to mention being beaten by MVP favorite Nash, he is almost 50-50 with Nash.

This whole Raptors situation is quite uncomfortable.

I have to say that Nash really felt as helpless as a cannon in this series.

The player Deron is really interesting, Nash rules the East, Cannon rules the West, and Deron rules Nash and Cannon.

Deron really feels like Yao at the center position.

Of course, although Nash had a hard time facing Deron, he was much more mature than Cannon when dealing with this situation. He did not confront Deron head-on. Anyway, the Raptors' bombardment system is a pick-and-roll system, and he also There is no need to decide the winner one-on-one with Deron.

I have to say that Nash is really mature now.

The overall strength of the Raptors is still higher than that of the Bulls. As long as he doesn't lose his wits and proves that he can beat Deron, as long as he organizes his Raptors teammates, and as long as he plays the Raptors' tactical system normally, the Bulls want to defeat him. The Raptors can only rely on miracles.

And miracles cannot always be so timely.

At least in this series, in the next two games, a miracle did not favor the Bulls.

In G5, the Raptors successfully won Tianwangshan at home.

In G6, although the Bulls' leading player Deron Williams performed superbly throughout the series, in the end he missed Nash's three-pointer.

In the end, the Bulls lost 2-4.

Of course, although the Bulls lost, they still frightened the Raptors, the No. 1 in the East and the No. 1 in the league.

If Deron hits Nash's chance lore, will the Raptors be about to play tiebreaker?

It's really going to be the tiebreaker, this group of red-eyed young people may not be able to hold on to everyone.

It can only be said that the Bulls are considered to be the first team under the super team, and that is really well-deserved.

In the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, if the Raptors, the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference, were scared out of their wits by the Bulls.

So obviously, the Heat's soul was definitely scared out of the game between the second-place Heat in the East and the seventh-place Bucks in the East.

Because the Heat played seven games in the first round before finally eliminating the Bucks. In this series, they almost failed to defeat Wade and Dayao.

Originally, as soon as the Heat came to the home court, they took advantage of Durant, who was guarded by Tony, to win two games. After winning two games, both Wade and Dayao felt stable.

Although Durant performed well in the regular season this season, young people are young people, and he is still a little behind in taking on heavy responsibilities in the playoffs.

However, no one thought that although Durant was crazily defended by Mr. Tony, he really didn't have the slightest timidity like Auden or Conley. He attacked when he should attack and shot when he should. You're welcome.

No matter how difficult a single game Ray Allen and Curry put into his hands, he never hesitated at all.

Durant's role with the Bucks in this playoffs is very similar to Chen Xiao's role with the Nets.

Don't look at the fact that Durant averaged 9 of 23 shots per game in the entire series, and his field goal percentage didn't even reach 40%. Not high, of course, except for free throws, where he averaged 8.5 hits in 9 attempts.

I have to say that Durant's treatment as a rookie in this series is really good. Although Tony Allen's defense is too tight and the confrontation is too strong, don't forget that he is a rookie, and a rookie is in the playoffs. It's not a foul.

And Durant can average 9 free throws per game. This can only be said that the love of the hook father is still deep, allowing him to achieve normal standards in his first season of the playoffs.

In fact, when Durant played in the playoffs for the first time in history, he averaged more than 10 free throws per game. In history, Xiao Du was still very popular with hooks before he let himself go.

In short, no matter what, in this series, Durant averaged 23 shots per game in exchange for 28.5 points, which is indeed not very efficient.

Historically, fifth-year Durant could score 28.5 points on 19 shots.

But don't forget, Durant's scores in this series are not the kind of chance balls, but the kind of very difficult ones that his teammates can't attack!

Just like when Chen Xiao was in the Nets.

When Chen Xiao was with the Nets, in the second round against the 76ers, his shooting percentage was lower than Du's, not even 39%. In the third round against the Pistons, his shooting percentage was just over 40%.

But in these two series, Chen Xiao didn't intend to drag his teammates down at all, and others couldn't see Chen Xiao dragging down his teammates, because in these two series, the Nets swept 4-0 to advance.

When Chen Xiao was in the Nets, he used close to 40% of the points that Ji Boss and the others could not get. This is not a sinner, this is a hero, a great hero.

So the head coach of the Pistons at the time, Rick Carlisle, joked that he would trade Hamilton, who had a 50% field goal percentage, and the Nets, Chen Xiao, who had a low shooting percentage but shot wildly.

In this series between the Heat and the Bucks, Heat head coach Rick Carlisle said similar things.

"I can see the shadow of Chen in Kevin. They are too similar. They can always put those incredible balls into the basket. For players like Kevin and Chen, we can't use pure shooting percentage. When you look at them, their tactical value to their respective teams is priceless."

Rick Carlisle said that he saw the shadow of Chen Xiao in Durant.

Carlisle was not the only one to see this, anyone with a discerning eye could see it, after all, it was so similar!

There is no way to be different, they are all peerless pots!

Chen Xiao started his career with the Nets and became famous for his excellent cooking skills.

And the Bucks have such a great talent in Durant, how could they not use it?

After all, Chen Xiao had already succeeded in the front.

In fact, the Bucks have intentionally cultivated Durant in this way from the beginning of the season.

As soon as Durant arrived on the team, the team's boss Ray Allen took the initiative to give up the main attack and proactively provided Durant with more shots.

Historically, Durant averaged 17 shots per game in his rookie season with the Supersonics, which is not as good as James' rookie shots. First place in the team.

The No. 2 on the team takes more shots than the No. 1 on the team.

If you want to say that the Bucks didn't mean that at the beginning, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

And now, after a season of development, the Bucks are finally getting their fruits.

When the team played tactics, Ray Allen and Curry shot three-pointers and scored three-pointers there, and Iguodala and Blakeson dunked frantically at the basket to score two points.

When the team couldn't make a tactic, they hit the ball into Durant's hands and asked him to play super singles against Teacher Tony.

The Bucks' new five-little tactics in the playoffs are really strong!

So much so that TNT commentator Chris Webber exclaimed on the sidelines: "The Bucks are better now than they were in the season when they won 73 games!"

Yes, it is indeed stronger, because in the season when they won 73 games, the entire team did not have an all-round offensive player like Durant.

All the strong attacks were directed at Ray Allen. Ray Allen was exhausted to death, and the effect was not that good.

Where is it like now, when he leads the rest of the team to make tactics, take simple shots, and hand over most of the team's difficult shots to Durant, which makes Ray Allen feel so good.

Even in the seventh game of this series, Ray Allen did not feel any fatigue.

However, what makes Bucks fans very uncomfortable is that although Ray Allen was not tired in the tiebreaker this time, the team's new leader Durant still performed stably in the first tiebreaker, but he was with Ray Allen before. Xiaoku, who performed very steadily, actually made 1 of 10 three-pointers in this game and 3 of 16 in the game, only scoring 11 points!

Although Xiaoku had some ups and downs in previous games, as a rookie, such ups and downs are acceptable and he was very good throughout the day.

But in this most critical game, Xiaoku played the most iron-clad game of his career. Let alone those expert fans, Xiaoku himself found it hard to believe it.

He felt that his feeling was good, but why couldn't he vote no matter what?

Against other teams, Xiao Ku made 1 of 10 three-pointers. Maybe he can win with Du, Ray Allen and others, but facing the Heat, the most stable team in the entire league, as the team's third With the No. 3 scorer performing like this, how could the Bucks win?

In the end, the Bucks lost 110 to 116 on the road, and the tiebreaker ended with a loss.

When Heat players such as Wade, Dayao and Chris Bosh, who were successfully promoted, were confirmed to advance, Chris Bosh was so excited that he covered his face and cried.

This series is too stressful!

"We were almost defeated by the Bucks!"

"No, what Dwyane said is wrong. We already felt like we were defeated by the Bucks in a certain game!"

Whether it was Wade saying that we were almost defeated or Yao Ming saying that we felt like we had collapsed at a certain moment, in short, this series the Bucks let the world see how bright their future is.

Give Curry and Durant another season to grow, who can imagine what their future will be like?

They really almost made the first big news of this playoffs!

But it doesn't matter. Although the Bucks didn't make big news, soon the Nets did.

In the tiebreaker between the Nets and the Spurs, the Nets defeated the Magic 99-91 away from home and successfully defeated the Magic.

After the Bobcats defeated the Bobcats, the Nets once again successfully defeated the Bobcats.

In addition, the Raptors and Heat were almost defeated.

Many people are exclaiming:

"The east is so scary!"
