After the confession failed, I went to the NBA to play and lose weight

Chapter 249 Second Round Situation [Happy New Year]

In 05-08, the Wizards and the Cavaliers met in the first round of the playoffs for three consecutive seasons, and the Cavaliers all had the last laugh.

The 05-06 season was the peak season of No. 0 Agent Arenas. The two teams fought six games, three of which were won by the Cavaliers by 1 point. The sixth game was because Arenas missed a key free throw and ruined the game. In the end, the Cavaliers made a lore shot and were eliminated directly.

It is said that after Arenas missed the first free throw, James said in his ear, "If you miss another free throw, we will win", which directly disturbed Arenas' psychology. As a result, he missed the free throw and gave the Cavaliers Chance of a three-point lore.

This series is also the most balanced strength of the two teams, and the Wizards lacked a little luck.

Then for two consecutive seasons, the Wizards were plagued by injuries, especially the head guard Arenas who was reimbursed for one season and suffered a serious decline after returning from injury.

Last season, the Wizards were only supported by Jamison alone. As a result, they were swept out by the Cavaliers in four straight games.

In fact, whether it was last season or last season, in the Cavaliers' victory over the Wizards, in addition to James' performance, Big Z also became a "treasure" against the Wizards.

Facing the Wizards again in the first round of this season, Big Z played a big role. Facing the Wizards inside, he was able to stand up, which provided great help to James, and also prevented the Wizards from exerting too much defensive pressure on James. .

In addition, except for Jamison, the Wizards, Butler and Arenas seem to be affected by injuries and perform poorly, unable to defend, and the offensive firepower is even worse than the Cavaliers.

To put it simply, the strength of the Wizards is actually very weak. Of course, apart from the teams in the upper half of the Eastern Conference, the strength of the last four teams is also relatively weak, so the Raptors overturned the Pistons, and Philadelphia also dragged the Celtics into sixth place. The field is so surprising.

It can only be said that basketball is round, and some incredible things will happen.

But facing the Magic, the false prosperity that the Cavaliers gained from the Wizards was directly smashed.

One game may not explain anything, James can adjust, and the Cavaliers still have a chance to get back to their form, and it is not without a disastrous defeat against the Wizards, the first away game even almost lost 30 points, but the Magic's restrictions on James , definitely not by chance.

And how to make other players stand up when James is targeted, this is what Mike Brown needs to do next.

And it's hard to put hope on the inside, because unlike the Wizards, Big Z has no advantage against the Magic's inside, and Wallace can only hold back, so this requires the Cavaliers' outside efforts, especially in the third point projection.

As long as they can shoot accurately from the outside, the Magic will be wary of shooting. In turn, the restrictions on James will not be so tight, and James will be able to "live".

In the post-match commentary's prediction of the progress of the series, the impact of the Cavaliers' outside shooting on the game accounted for a large proportion, and they believed that they needed to help James "lighten the burden".

Of course, some people criticize James, thinking that his own shooting is also a big problem. In fact, when he was playing against the Wizards, his three-point shooting rate was very poor, but the Wizards are not staffed enough, and the inside defense is not hard enough, so that James can easily Seven in and seven out.

When he encounters the Magic's defense, he will not be able to play so easily. As the core, if he is not easy to play, how can his teammates play easily?
At this time, it is time for the leader to stand up and lead the team, but James has a low shooting rate and high turnovers, a free offensive end and a lot of mistakes on the defensive end, which really disappointed many people.

Look at how Kobe played on the other side?

While the Magic won their first victory, the Lakers also easily defeated the Jazz at home. Deron and Boozer did not perform well. With both cores inside and outside being restricted, the Jazz wanted to win, of course. is very difficult.

In this game, Kobe broke out, scoring 38 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists. What is even more amazing is that he scored 23 free throws and hit 21 of them.

Gasol and Lamar Odom also performed well, but the biggest surprise came from Vujacic on the bench, who scored a personal playoff high of 15 points.

In this game, people not only saw the superstar performance, but also saw the internal and external cooperation of the Lakers and the flashes of the role players. It can be said that the Lakers have shown the quality of a championship team.

On the same day, both the East and West won the first place, which seems to prove that it is not so easy to be upset.

Sure enough, in the rematch between the Celtics and the Raptors the next day, the "old guys" stood up and told the young people that they still ruled the world. In the end, the Raptors players were miserable.

The outside line is tight and the inside line is shrinking. The Raptors are a team that relies on the outside line for three-pointers. Better open shots, and the role players shot like crazy in the next two games.

This kind of momentum was also brought to the first game against the Green Army. The Green Army's defensive strategy is actually no problem, but the opponent's momentum is strong, and they have nothing to do.

But after a bang, the momentum and shooting percentage of the Raptors dropped in the second game. The Green Army's adherence to the same defensive strategy also paid off. role player too.

And when the outside line is not allowed, Bosh can't get any good opportunities inside. Even Howard and Li Chengming are helpless without the help of his teammates under the double team, let alone him.

In the end, the Green Army took back a home game, which also brought the momentum back to their side. As long as they also win the next away game, they can regain the initiative in the series.

On the contrary, the game between the Spurs and the Hornets was surprising, and the Spurs turned over again at home.

Today Duncan's state has recovered, and the restrictions on West are also very effective. He made 11 of 2 free throws to get 10+10 data, but his teammates pulled their hips.

From Parker and Ginobili to Bobby, Finley, and Uduka, no one is normal, except for Barry, 5 of 4 three-pointers, the others are either 1 or 0, 30% of the outside line is against the Hornets 59% The three-point shooting rate, this comparison is simply tragic.

Of course, the Hornets shot less and even made fewer shots than the Spurs. However, so many shooting opportunities were wasted, and they will naturally be punished.

Paul played his strength as the No. 30 point guard in active service this time, scoring 12 points and [-] assists. He can not only score by himself but also connect the whole team. It can be said that Parker has exploded.

After this game, the outside world had to start thinking about the birth of another dark horse. Although the Hornets were one rank higher than the Spurs in the regular season, the title of the Spurs' defending champion was still quite bluffing. Not optimistic about them.

At least before the start of the series, many people thought that the Spurs should be the final winner.

But everything is not as useful as the actual results of the game, and now there are more people who are optimistic about the Hornets.

Compared with the ups and downs of the games between the two sides, the second game between the Magic and the Lakers seemed to be uneventful.

Of course, before the two teams competed, a heavyweight award in the regular season was officially announced.

In the 2007-08 season, the most valuable player in the NBA regular season, that is, the MVP winner, was Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers.

　I originally wanted Howard to take it, but after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. There is only one volute, and he will have no chance when the protagonist gets up in the future, and he will definitely not win the championship, so let him leave this.
