Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 422

Compared with the ease and ease of the Cavaliers' victory over the Nets and the lack of blood, the Heat and Pistons, who were also playing in the Eastern Conference semifinals, had a bit of a hard time.

After the Pistons lost the core of the inside defense, the only point on the field that could limit O'Neal is completely gone.

In this round of the series, O'Neill also showed a rather old demeanor.

He single-handedly crushed Rasheed Wallace in the paint and Chris Webber, whom the Pistons acquired in a midseason trade.

Averaged 20 points and 11 rebounds per game!
Although this data is far from the Sharks at their peak, after all, O'Neal only had 17 points and 7 rebounds in the regular season this season.

So in this round of the series, everyone can't have more accusations against O'Neal at all.

However, because Wade was plagued by foot injuries during the regular season, he also missed more than 30 games due to injuries.

Therefore, after he returned from injury, his previous explosive breakthrough ability was not immediately recovered.

I am afraid that this state will take time to continue to adjust!
In addition, although the Pistons lost the super defensive core of Big Ben, the defensive line composed of the little prince Tyshawn Prince, Chauncey Billups, and Richard Hamilton on the outside just happened to be able to target Wade. .

Under the ebb and flow, Wade only scored 23 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in this round of the series.

With only O'Neal and Wade scoring in double figures in the Heat, it is conceivable how difficult it is for them to win the game against the Pistons.

And even in this situation, Wade and O'Neill abruptly dragged the game into a 2:2 tie!
I have to say, both of them worked hard!

It's just that it's okay to play hard for one or two games, but want to play hard for the entire series?

Especially with O'Neal's 35-year-old body, he doesn't have the physical strength to continue playing any series tiebreaker.

Therefore, after 2:2, the Pistons also played 2 consecutive games relying on the overall defense.

4:2 eliminated the Heat!

“This is also the ending that we have foreseen early on.

The Heat, which could compete with us for the Eastern Conference championship last season, have almost completely lost the strength of the league's first-tier teams this season. "

James also sighed helplessly for his good brother Wade.

The scene of him wanting to compete with Sau Wei again may have to wait until next season.

"However, although the Heat were eliminated, it may be a good thing for us to play against the Pistons."

Zhao Hao also wants to say that whether it is the Heat or the Pistons, it is not a problem for him and the Cavaliers.

After all, the Cavaliers had already defeated the two teams in the playoffs last season.

However, he and James are very clear!
It is not these two teams that can really hinder them from winning the championship, but the spaceship Lakers team, and the Spurs team that transferred Ginobili to the bench may also count as half.

But the Spurs are okay. Duncan is a big insider after all, and it is difficult for him to defend the Cavaliers' one-star lineup.

The two teams have proved in the finals of last season that they can only explode each other!
Whoever is in good shape and plays better in the final few minutes of the game will win.

But the Lakers use Garnett as the center!

He is also fully capable of throwing out when defending, and he is not afraid of opponents' pick-and-rolls and outside shots.

In Zhao Hao's eyes, Garnett's defensive ability is probably the top in the league. Even when defending the perimeter, he is better than some forwards and guards.

This is also the most restrained style of play for the Cavaliers!
"So, that's why it's good for us to play against the Pistons early."

James also quickly understood Zhao Hao's thoughts by relying on his super high golf quotient.

After all, the Pistons' defense itself is already extremely strong!
Their team center is the future Kings star Chris Webber!

A 206cm tall Princeton system core who can pass, shoot and shoot, and even has a three-pointer!

Chris Webber is the same as Garnett when facing the opponent's pick-and-roll.

It can also be prevented!

"So when facing the Pistons, we can also practice in advance how to play when the one-star four-shot and pick-and-roll substitutions are restrained."

Zhao Hao said with certainty.

This is why he said that it was better to meet the Pistons instead of the Heat!

It's just that, compared with the current Lakers, the defense of this Pistons team may no longer have the demeanor of being proud of the entire league.

Therefore, when facing the Pistons, they were just practicing!

The Pistons are only allotted to them for drills!
The Cavaliers do have such confidence.

And more importantly, Chris Webber is 35 years old after all.

Although he is still in some form, he is not at the peak after all, and it is unfair to compare him with Garnett.

And the most obvious decline of Chris Webber at this age is his defensive footwork.

After all, I can't keep up!

The Pistons chose to trade for Chris Webber in the middle of the season, mainly because of his passing and the characteristics of the Princeton system, so there is no need for off-court coaches to worry about it.

This can be regarded as the change of the Pistons this season!
They have also discovered that it is indeed difficult to survive in the league simply by pursuing defense.

However, it is obviously not a good idea to bet on the 35-year-old Chris Webber on offense.

"And when we actually meet the Lakers, we will definitely be under more defensive pressure."

This is why Zhao Hao attaches great importance to the Pistons this time.

If they face the defense of the Pistons, it will be difficult for them to shoot four stars.

It will be even more difficult to meet that Lakers team!
At this time, the war in the west is also drawing to a close.

The Lakers beat the Suns 4:1!
Son of the Wind, this round of the series was targeted by the Lakers.

They actually let the team's Smush Parker stick to Nash like a dog's plaster throughout the series.

Good trick!
Although Smush Parker is not good at defense, he is fast!

And he was still undrafted, he was extremely active defensively, and his attitude was extremely correct.

Therefore, he has no problem keeping up with Nash, who is known as the Son of Wind.

In addition, the Lakers' overall defense against Nash is to cut off the passing route and prevent him from driving the offense of his teammates.

As for what kind of offensive level Nash can play under Smush Parker's defense, they don't care.

After all, Nash is not the type of player who kills opponents on his own!

To maximize his power, he must also drive his teammates!

Therefore, I have to say that the Zen master still has two brushes.

Nash went crazy in this series because of the Lakers' defensive style.

Facts have proved that no matter how hard Smash Parker tried, he couldn't guard Nash.

Throughout the series, Nash averaged 22 points and 7 assists per game, and even scored 37 points in one game.

But in comparison, those of his teammates.
Stoudemire was very constipated by Garnett's defense, and it was difficult for Nash to pass him the ball at all, and their standard pick-and-roll cooperation was not played at all.

所以在一场G3的比赛，斯塔德迈尔被加内特防得只有14中4的命中率，并拿下了12分7篮板的如此耻辱的数据后。

Stoudemire thumped the fire extinguisher at the end of the game!
That's right!

It's an angry punch, kill it!fire!device!

Right hand fracture, reimbursed for the season.

The Suns lost two games in a row, ending the season.
