I’m Really Playing Basketball

In this year's playoffs, Nowitzki's state was very miraculous. This miraculousness is not only because his strength and state are indeed at the top level, but also a large part of the reason is that Driver has always been underestimated in the NBA. and underrated stars.

Let's put it this way, before Driver broke out in the playoffs this season, he was the most underestimated superstar in the NBA, not even one of them.

Under such circumstances, other teams were not well prepared for Driver. The preparation mentioned here is not only tactical, but also personnel. For example, the Mavericks and Spurs had no defensive players prepared to deal with Driver. In other words, the players they prepared are all reverse players, such as a group of small and powerful defenders.

This kind of defender was indeed very effective for the previous drivers, but now, if you can't stop the driver's golden rooster independence, and then you want to defend, you are not tall enough, so you can only jump, and if you jump, the driver will cause a foul.

This is why the Drivers and Spurs averaged more than 12 free throws per game in the series.

This is also the reason why the group of players that Bobo prepared for the driver were beaten around by the driver, and in the end they could only play with Duncan.

But if you play Duncan, there will be no basket, and Randolph and Chandler will go crazy.

Let's put it this way, in this playoffs, whether it's the Clippers playing the Mavericks or the Spurs playing the Mavericks, they all suffered because they were not prepared, or the preparations were in the wrong direction. How do you fight such a game? ?

In the final analysis, it is because most people in the NBA have never thought that drivers can perform at this level.

Even Chen Xiao, a good friend of the driver, never thought that such a driver would play so brutally in the playoffs this season.

Therefore, the current driver is definitely a headache for teams throughout the league that are still in the playoffs.

With the style of play and strength that Driver has shown in this playoffs, the remaining teams simply cannot find suitable defensive players in a short time, so when everyone encounters the Mavericks, it is the same situation as the Spurs against the Mavericks. , you don’t know how to adjust, and you are inherently at a tactical disadvantage.

According to Xiaopao, after the series with the Mavericks, DeAndre Jordan went crazy. If you don't jump, he will score. If you jump, you can't predict his shot, so you can only be made by him. foul.

Therefore, many people now hope that the driver's hot state will end soon. As long as he does not score, he will not be able to draw fouls and he will not be invincible.

Facing this good friend who scared the entire alliance, Chen Xiao was certainly looking forward to meeting him.

However, before that, the driver needs to get past the Lakers, and Chen Xiao needs to get past the Bucks.

Before the start of the NBA's Eastern and Western conference finals, regarding the predictions for the matchup between the two groups, the Bobcats still have the advantage over the Bucks. Most teams believe that the Bobcats should be able to defeat the Bucks within six games. As for the Lakers and Mavericks, it's a bit difficult to say.

Because Nowitzki is in such good shape in this year's playoffs, those experts don't know how long Nowitzki can maintain this state.

However, although the Mavericks are no longer so underestimated, most experts and celebrities are still more optimistic about the Lakers.

Among domestic reporters, the remarks of Yang Huahua, who was recently slapped in the face by a driver and Mavericks, are very representative.

"This is the most unsuspicious Western Conference finals since 2003. The Lakers can resolve the battle within six games. I emphasize again, I am not trying to criticize the Mavericks. Nowitzki is in really good shape now, but that was short-lived. Who knows? I don’t know how the Mavericks will fare in the next game, but the Lakers’ monster has been explosive for more than ten years. That monster is really not something Nowitzki and the Mavericks can win.”

Well, what Huahua means is that as long as the driver is not in shape, the Mavericks and Lakers will be the most disparate Western Conference finals in recent years. This is a fact. After all, the previous battles between the Spurs and the Lakers and the Lakers and the Suns were both fierce, and The Mavericks are indeed not in great shape without their driver.

But, what if the driver can still maintain his condition?

This is not what Huahua can say, so his prediction is that the driver cannot continue to maintain this state, so the driver's state is short-lived.

Therefore, in this year's conference finals, if those metaphysical factors are eliminated, the Bobcats and Lakers are still the two most promising teams.

On May 16, 2011, the Eastern Conference Finals between the Bobcats and Bucks began at the Charlotte Bobcat Arena.

Before the start of this game, audiences across the United States were paying attention to Chen Xiao, Durant, Curry and other seniors from Marquette University.

Everyone says that Chen Xiao is the representative of Marquette University in the NBA, and the Bobcats have always been the first home team in the NBA for Marquette University fans.

However, when it comes to the number of Marquette University players, the Bobcats actually only have Chen Xiao and Jimmy Butler.

As for the Bucks, they are definitely the home base of Marquette University. There are four players from Marquette University including Durant, Curry, Diener, and Braxson.

This is definitely very rare in the NBA.

What's more, these four are still very important players for the Bucks.

One side is the most representative player of Marquette University, and the other is the team with the largest number of Marquette University players, and it is a Milwaukee team. Therefore, before the game, this series was called The Civil War for Marquette University.

At the same time, the civil war was also known as the ‘Golden Eagle Era’.

Yes, as Chen Xiao and Wade have won 7 NBA championships together in the past eight years, the current NBA is called the Golden Eagle Era.

There are so many teams in the NBA that can represent the Golden Eagles, including the Bobcats led by Chen Xiao, the Heat led by Wade, the Bucks led by Durant and Curry, and the Spurs led by Ron Howard.

Although the Heat fell, the Bucks who came on top can still be called the Golden Eagles.

So far, the two biggest championship favorites happen to be the Bobcats and Bucks, and they also happen to be the Golden Eagles.

Therefore, before the start of the conference finals, many Marquette University fans said online that whether the Bobcats or the Bucks win this year, it will be a continuation of the Golden Eagle era.

There is really nothing wrong with what I said.

Therefore, for Marquette fans, it doesn't matter which of these two teams advances to the finals.

If Chen Xiao wins the championship, it will be Chen Xiao's fifth championship and his first consecutive championship.

The Bucks won the championship, which was the first NBA championship for Durant, Curry Braxon, Diener and others, which is also worth remembering.

This is a beautiful fantasy like a fairy tale.

This is the romance that belongs to the fans. The romance of the fans always likes to divide the fruits, MVP and FMVP before the results come out.

But for those professionals, the playoffs, especially the playoffs that determine the championship, are not romantic. On the contrary, they are very cruel.

Just as TNT's on-site commentator Barkley explained before the start of this game: "We can't find any reason to support the reason why the Bucks can beat the Bobcats in a series. Perhaps, face Cleveland in the Eastern Conference semifinals. The Cavaliers are the toughest opponent the Bobcats will face in the playoffs this time."

"I know KD and Curry both want to win the championship this year and defeat Chen Xiao, O'Neal, Wade, and Kobe, the four players who have won 10 championships in the past 11 years, to reach the top of the NBA.

If they really do it, they will win one of the most valuable championships in NBA history, and they will become legends. "

Well, before the series between the Bobcats and Bucks started, there was a saying that if the Bucks finally win the championship, they follow the path of Wade, Yao Ming, O'Neal, Kidd, Chen Xiao, and Kobe. To win the championship, then the Bucks led by Durant and Curry defeated several superstars who have won 10 championships in the past 11 years to win the championship in this playoffs. This gold content is simply explosive. On the way to the championship A bunch of historical superstars who have won 10 championships have died.

From 2000 to 2002, Kobe and O'Neal won three consecutive championships.

From 2003 to 2010, Chen Xiao, Wade, and Yao Ming won 7 championships.

This is to beat all the champion super giants in the past 11 years, except for one Duncan.

If you really want to achieve such a path championship, you will definitely be able to become a god with one crown.

Therefore, many people are looking forward to the emergence of such a championship.

But Barkley's words before the game obviously poured cold water on such a topic of public opinion hype.

"The age when Boy Wonder won the championship was 20 years old. Boy Wonder had already won four NBA championships when he was 28 years old. His achievements in the NBA are too great, legendary, and too impressive. So many people think that winning a championship in the NBA is a very simple thing, but in fact, winning a championship in the NBA has never been simple. I have never been able to get even close to this trophy in my entire career, and even Jordan, he I won my first championship when I was 28 years old."

"Now Durant and Curry are only 22 or 23 years old. They are very capable and their future will be very bright. Maybe in five years, they will be like Jordan, Chen Xiao, Wade, Yao Ming, and Kobe Shaquille O'Neal dominated the league and dominated an era, but now, the NBA is still the era of the Wonder Boy."

Based on what Barkley said before the game, if the Bobcats' opponent was not the Bucks, and if 90% of the Bucks' fans were not fans of Chen Xiao and Marquette University, I'm afraid Barkley would be sued to death.

Of course, it was precisely because Chen Xiao and the Bobcats were facing the Bucks that Barkley dared to say this.

The combined meaning of these words is, don't listen to those guys who are hyping people. They can make money by hyping. If you listen to their hyping and sell your house to buy the Bucks, you will go bankrupt.

Of course, what Barkley said is very similar to what Yang Huahua said in China. If his prediction is wrong, he will definitely be slapped in the face.

So many people are looking forward to the result of this game.

In G1 between the Bobcats and Bucks, the Bobcats changed to a new starting lineup. O'Neal, who performed very well against the Cavaliers in the last series, was taken off the starting position.

Stoudemire, Chen Xiao, Granger, Battier, Rose, this is the starting lineup of the Bobcats in this game. Stoudemire can play center, especially against the Bucks who do not have a big center. Stoudemire plays center. The effect is excellent.

This is also the reason why Stoudemire is much better than Aldridge. Even if Aldridge faces the Bucks' five small lineups, he is not suitable to play center.

In the regular season, the Bobcats and Bucks had a record of 3-1. Stoudemire played center against the Bucks with excellent results.

And this is why Barkley believes in the Bobcats so much.

Because it's like the Heat can't match the Bucks now.

The current Bucks are actually no match for the Bobcats.

Without Stoudemire, this series is really hard to say.

But the problem is, this season, the Bobcats have Stoudemire!

Stoudemire is the super nemesis of the fifth child.

And Chen Xiao is also the super nemesis of the Fifth Primary School.

Even Stoudemire is better than Chen Xiao.

After all, Marion and Iguodala can still block Chen Xiao.

As for Stoudemire, the Bucks really have no one to stop him.

Facing the threat of Stoudemire, the Bucks really can't change.

After the introduction of Marion and Nene in the summer, the lineup is really saturated and cannot be changed.

More importantly, maybe one-on-one, Braxson and Nene can guard Stoudemire, but with Stoudemire next to Chen Xiao, that really doesn't work.

The inside combination of Chen Xiao and Stoudemire playing five small teams is definitely a qualitative change.

Therefore, even though they knew that it would be difficult for their own lineup to beat the Bobcats, in G1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bucks still did not change their lineup. The starting lineup was still Braxon, Iguodala, Durant, Ray Allen and Curry.

There's really no way to change it.

Therefore, in the first quarter of this game, the Bobcats beat the Bucks 31 to 19, beating the Heat and driving the offense crazy. The Bucks, who averaged 124 points per game, scored 19 points in the first quarter against the Bobcats. .

Ray Allen and Curry, who went crazy against the Heat, played very hard when they first came up.

Rose's pursuit of Curry was very good. Curry screened the pick-and-roll and played the big man's tactics. Against the Heat, he could hit Yao Ming or O'Neal accurately, but against Chen Xiao who came out after a delay, Curry would be a little difficult to beat.

For Curry, with Ross chasing behind and Chen Xiao blocking in front, this offensive environment is too miserable.

At the same time, Granger's off-ball defensive ability is not comparable to that of Anthony. Anthony cannot catch up with Ray Allen, but Granger can. Although Ray Allen is definitely better off the ball, Granger has long hands. Young people run fast.

Therefore, throughout the first quarter, the Bucks had such a strong offense, but in the end the only player who could score points stably was Durant.

Durant's stand-up singles are indeed strong. It is the first time in history that Durant has entered the finals. Facing such a powerful forward combination of Battier, James and Bosh, he can score 30+ and is the most efficient in history. Averaging 30+ per game, there is still a space monster like Westbrook around him.

One against one, Xiao Du is indeed strong.

But if the team's system fails, it will be difficult to reverse the situation unless Xiao Du's stand-up singles are superb.

At least Xiao Du didn't have a super talent in this game.

In the end, the Bucks lost to the Bobcats by 21 points 92-113 on the road.

In this game, 14 of 21 were scored, 34 points, and 5 turnovers. Although Battier and Keith's defense against Xiao Du was not successful in this game, the effect was very good. They cut Xiao Du many times and scared Xiao Du. He didn't dare to break through easily with the ball, and in the end he was not able to hold the ball and take a lot of shots. Therefore, even if Du was in good shape in this game, he was not able to change the situation explosively because there were not many offensive opportunities.

In addition, Ray Allen made 7 of 17 shots in this game and scored 18 points.

Xiaoku, on the other hand, scored 7 of 20, 3 of 8 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 20 points and 6 assists.

Apart from these three, the Bucks have no player who scores in double figures.

In the last series, facing the Heat's invincible offensive Bucks, the offense in this game exploded, a real explosion.

Wade and Yao Ming on the sidelines could clearly see that the Bucks' offensive system was blown away by the Bobcats.

"The Bucks may really not be able to play in this series."

Wade couldn't help but sigh.

If they were standing in front of the Bobcats now, maybe the game situation on the court would be completely different.

By the way, Chen Xiao made 12 of 24 in this game, scoring 32 points and 14 rebounds.

As for Stoudemire, he made 7 of 15 in this game, 8 of 9 free throws, and scored 22 points and 9 rebounds.

The two of them actually didn't play that fiercely in this game, but they still dominated the basket. Chen Xiao had 8 offensive rebounds in this game, while Stoudemire had 5 offensive rebounds.

In the entire game, the Bobcats had 19 offensive rebounds, while the Bucks only had 27 rebounds in the game.

Your offensive system collapsed and your defense couldn't get rebounds. How do you think you'll play in this game?

To be honest, if Chen Xiao and Stoudemire were aggressive in this game, they would have scored 30 points in the third quarter of this game.

After all, at halftime, the Bobcats actually won 65-42, a 23-point victory.

It's just that in the second half, the Bobcats closed in.

Therefore, after the G1 match between the two teams, those who expected the Bucks to complete the most valuable championship in NBA history in this playoffs were all silent.

Just like Barkley said, the Bucks really have no chance of beating the Bobcats.

Because now the Bucks, from players to team, are actually not ready to win the championship.

This is no joke.

It can be seen from G1 of the Eastern Conference Finals that the Bucks are not prepared for how they will play when they meet the Bobcats in the playoffs.

How did the Heat prepare to beat the Bobcats?

The Bucks were simply not prepared for this.

In other words, the Bucks' goal this season is actually to grow, not to win the championship, although the Bucks definitely want to win the championship.

However, they really didn't expect that Durant and Curry would grow so much this season.

In the end, they actually defeated the Heat and pushed them in front of the Bobcats.

Therefore, you can see in the game that the Bucks players played very hard, but because of the flaws in the system against the Bobcats, they played very helplessly.

In the end, the Bucks lost the series 1 to 4. The only game the Bucks won was G3. Durant made 15 of 28 and scored 40 points, while Ku made 12 of 20 and scored 29. points, while Ray Allen scored 17 points on 7-for-11 shooting. Relying on the godlike performance of the three of them in this game, they defeated the Heat 128-120.

However, there was only one game in which all three of them performed well in this series.

At this point, the Eastern Conference Finals ended, and the Bobcats successfully reached the finals.

On the other side, coincidentally, the Mavericks played the same 4-1 game, and the Bobcats advanced to the finals one day later.

In the 2011 NBA Finals, the Bobcats beat the Mavericks.

When this match came out, not only Yang Huahua's swollen mother couldn't recognize it, but most people were actually dumbfounded.
