The rest is just noise

118 to 101

In the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Celtics defeated the Heat by 17 points and got off to a good start in the conference finals.

The decisive moment of this game was the four minutes when Yao Yue came off the bench in the second half of the quarter to crush the Heat's second lineup.

In those four minutes, he once thought that he was a domestic CBA abuser - oh, he has never played in the CBA, but he felt that if he played in the CBA, it would be like this at best. He could not be so outrageous as to average 30 points, 20 rebounds and 5 blocks per game.

Is that so? - Although the Heat's second team also included Liu Yuqing and Ray Allen, both of them were a bit inaccurate during that period.

The Heat's substitute insiders are like Yao Yueban's former teammate Maurice Taylor (PF), who entered the league in the same year as Duncan and averaged 15 points per game for four consecutive seasons with his mid-range shooting.

In 2006, he was traded to the team and entered the lottery. The other was Dale Davis, who was so old that people doubted that he had NBA-level ability.

Put these two people in front of Yao Yueban, and they will naturally end up being beaten.

In those short 4 minutes, Yao Yueban accounted for 90% of the team's points. He scored 14 points like a stream flowing down the river, widening the point difference in one breath.

to 19 minutes.

The Heat had to let their main players return to the court early.

This change completely disrupted the Heat's rotation arrangement and prevented Duncan from getting enough rest time.

In the second half, the Celtics held on tightly to their lead, leading by as much as 24 points at most. However, the Heat were not the kind of team that would suffer psychological collapse due to too large a point difference. They persisted until the end, winning by 17 points.

The gap loses the game.

After the game, Donovan expressed his envy of the Celtics' depth.

"Coach Lu can even substitute a bunch of players... It's really unbelievable."

Louis thought to himself, is it unbelievable? If Duncan was at the same level as a few years ago, he would never dare to take down the first-class horse and beat the first-class horse.

But Duncan has now lost weight and plays the fourth position. For a player like him, even if he loses weight, he is still at a super high level. But before losing weight, he was undoubtedly the number one player in the league.

After losing weight, he went from the first in the league to the top five in the league. For insiders, weight is combat effectiveness. This does not mean that the bigger the weight, the better. Every player has a corresponding load-bearing limit, take Yao Yueban for example.

It is said that at 130KG, he can maintain his amazing athletic talent at the same height. No matter how taller he is, his speed and endurance will decrease, but his low-level lethality will increase. Therefore, for him, continuing to gain weight can make his

The single-point threat has been increased to the extreme, but due to the damage to endurance, the power obtained by breaking the body's load-bearing limit is destined to not last long.

Every big man who wants to make a difference on the court needs to figure out the optimal weight that doesn't affect his or her dynamic talents.

Duncan now has to give up his best weight in exchange for a longer career.

But it is also wrong to say that the Heat lost tonight because Duncan did not beat the Celtics' inferior team.

Both sides know that this series is all about offense.

The Celtics are all in arms and playing their own style, while the Heat do not have the engine of the offensive system. They have players like Ray Allen, Stephen Jackson, and Liu Yuqing on the outside, but they can only fight independently, and it is difficult to unite in one place.

.

Now, they must seriously consider Arenas' comeback.

There is one more game.

Arenas was released from the ban after the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals, but it's hard to say whether his return will be an opportunity for the Heat to return to the top or an abyss of destruction.

Yao Yueban was the happiest person tonight. He played 27 minutes and scored 34 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks.

It's easy to deal with the Heat's substitutes.

At the press conference after the game, Yao Yue said half-excitedly: "Like many people, I was puzzled by Coach Lu's arrangement before the game started. However, the results proved that this strategy was successful. Not only did I

It was easy to play and we made more reasonable use of our advantage in lineup depth to defeat the Heat."

Then, a reporter asked Yao Yueban if he would continue to be a substitute in the next game.

It is impossible for Yao Yue to answer this question that even he himself does not know.

"Maybe, stay tuned."

Lu Wuxia, another Celtics leader, changed his dazzling performance against the Cavaliers in the semifinals and finished the game with "only" a triple-double of 18 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists.

Lu Wuxia was asked about Arenas.

Some people believe that as long as Arenas returns, the Heat will become the feared team they were last season.

Therefore, some reporters brought this issue to Lu Wuxia and wanted to hear his opinion.

"Actually, no matter whether he comes back or not, he is still a formidable opponent." Lu Wuxia asked with a smile, "Which of you is not afraid of a colleague who carries a gun with him at work? Anyway, I am afraid, but fortunately we have a team

There is no such person."

Wu Xia's words meant to rub salt into Arenas' wounds, but considering the dispute between them, it was not surprising to do so.

Arenas was defeated by Lu Wuxia before being suspended for 40 games.

At that time, Arenas, as the loser, clearly expressed his disdain for the Celtics, which was the reason for his enmity with Wuxia.

[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, and a source-changing app used by old bookworms,]

Now that the play is over and the stage is set, some people even want to skip Game 2 of the conference finals and see if Arenas will come back in Game 3.

On the other side of the Western Conference finals, the Suns faced the Lakers. It can be said that sparks flew in the first game.

Compared to the Lakers, the Suns' lineup is more reasonable and has better depth.

Moreover, the Suns are different from the Lakers. Their bench is full of veterans who want to ride the championship train.

Such as Robert Horry and Gary Payton.

It was Horry's key three-pointer in the first game that caused the Lakers to miss a great opportunity to steal the victory on the road.

After another day of rest, the Celtics faced off against the Heat in the second game of the series at home.

It can be seen that Donovan learned the lesson of seeking a single point advantage in the first game. He played a king bomb at the beginning and asked Stephen Jackson to guest star at the fourth position. White Chocolate, Liu Yuqing and Ray Allen partnered on the outside.

This is not the small ball era in the previous life where serious small forwards were forced to serve as unreasonable power forwards all day long. If Wu Sheng is allowed to work part-time as a power forward, the Heat's fourth position will inevitably be destroyed.

This is also proof that Donovan deeply understands why the first game failed.

The era of defense has passed, now we have to fight for offense.

White Chocolate alone lacks an offensive threat and cannot connect the whole team, so let Duncan provide support from a high position and share half of the organizational pressure.

This adjustment is not an unpleasant one. Donovan has been on the front line for many years and has led the Heat to win four championships. He has begun to take on the demeanor of a famous coach.

Since he wanted to open up his stance and attack, Louis naturally stopped hiding.

After being outscored 6-2 by the Heat in the first minute, Louis called a timeout, replaced Gasol, and replaced Yao Yueban, setting up an ultimate five-out lineup to confront the Heat.

Lu Wuxia returned to the state of the semi-finals, with the ball in hand, driving S.S.O.L's offense to fire continuously.

In the first quarter, the two sides scored 34 to 31, with the Celtics leading by 3 points.

In the second quarter, the Celtics, who had a clear advantage inside, relied on their rebounding advantage to extend their lead to 12 points.

In the third quarter, Liu Yuqing and Ray Allen's three-pointers brought the difference between the two sides back to 4 points.

Then we entered the crazy fourth quarter. Lu Wuxia, Ray Allen, Ginobili, Liu Yuqing, Yao Yueban, Duncan, you sang and I came on stage. The climax started from the first second of the fourth quarter and lasted until the last minute.

Second.

With Lu Wuxia leading the Celtics by 3 points 40 seconds before the end, just after halftime, he took another small step to collect the ball directly. At that moment, the figure of Wuxia was different from the routine in Louis' mind.

Stephen Curry reunited with Kevin Durant in Game 1.

The moment Lu Wuxia hit a three-pointer that made the whole audience go crazy, Liu Yuqing, who was extremely sensitive to arcs, quickly cursed: "Fuck...!"

"Uh-huh!

!”

"OMG!

!

"Heinsohn screamed, "Wish is the basketball god tonight!"
