Center first

Chapter 294
The first round of the playoffs finally began to enter the traditional power track after the start of the second game. Not only did the Miami Heat win, but the Celtics and Magic also tied the score at their home courts. The Cavaliers are still playing triumphant songs in Quicken Loans Arena.

However, except for the Miami Heat who won the opponent by a big score, the Celtics and the Magic just barely won the opponent. There is no absolute advantage in the scene. Seconds relied on the three-point advantage to keep one of their home court advantages.

Derrick Rose, who made a big splash in the last game, only scored 10 points in the second game, but he can use assists to make up for this shortcoming. Although the results of 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks are not very good , but as a rookie playing in the playoffs for the first time, it is already dazzling enough.

No wonder some Chicago fans have started calling for whether the performance in the playoffs should also be counted in the selection of the best rookie. After all, Lin Yi has not played a game yet, while Derrick Rose has already started his season. The post-match trip, and the performance is absolutely brilliant.

No one thought that the Bulls were such a difficult bone to crack. Even the defending champion was almost overturned by this group of fierce calves, and this team is not only one Derrick Rose who can score. Their attack The group suddenly exploded in the playoffs.

In this game, the Bulls took over the game. Ben Gordon, who has been silent for almost a season, scored 44 points in 42 minutes. He made 11 of 6 three-pointers and defeated the Celtics' perimeter defense entirely by unreasonable offensive methods.

Shooting, shooting, rebounding, this is how the Bulls play. They don't have any mysterious triangle offense, and they don't rigidly execute positional offense like the Spurs. They just use their touch to win the game, although Not quite sure, but scary enough.

If it weren't for Ray Allen's three life-saving three-pointers at the last minute, maybe the defending champion would go to Chicago with a total score of 0:2 as a guest. Both games were scored in the last dozen seconds In terms of victory and defeat, it can be said that the terrifying Celtics, who have always been stable, have lost their stable rhythm.

Garnett and Paul Pierce almost became a vacuum in these two games. They were not present in defense or offense. They even made inexplicable mistakes at certain critical moments. This state is like It's like being on vacation at the beach.

I don't know if it's because the Bulls' performance in the regular season made them a little bit unmotivated, but at least one of the three green giants is still in a normal stage, but even so, they still won , this is the most troublesome thing.

The explosion of an old guy can lead the team to victory. Although it is more difficult to win, it will be the turn of three people to explode. Once that happens, the other three in the Eastern Conference may feel a little overwhelmed. , But fortunately, the first unlucky one is definitely not Miami, it must be Orlando.

I don't know how to evaluate the Celtics team. Are these green guys repeating the winning process of last year?In the early stages of the game, it took until the final seventh game to cheer up?Then in the final championship finals, can you show your strongest state?
And the Magic played even more suspense. Andre Miller of the 76ers almost completed the reversal in the fourth quarter. If Turkoglu and Lewis jointly scored eight points at the critical moment, perhaps Now Howard is also worried about the total score of 0:2.

Four of six shots, three of seven free throws, 30 points and 30 rebounds. This is Howard's contribution in the whole game, and he only played [-] minutes on the court. This is not a continuous appearance. The [-] minutes of playing time were also torn apart due to too many fouls.

Without consistent playing time, don't expect anyone to play a good game. Even the mighty Warcraft can't perform very well. When the game progressed to the beginning of the fourth quarter, Howard Already fouled six times and sat off the court.

The depressed WoW looked helplessly at the gray-clothed judges on the sidelines. He kept complaining throughout the game, but it didn't work at all. When the guys waved their big hands, they could hear the whistle ringing in their ears.

Waving his hands angrily, arguing with the referee in dissatisfaction, but none of this can change Howard's embarrassing situation. He is still forced to put on a towel on the field, watching his teammates running on the field with a sad face, Fight hard, but all this has nothing to do with him.

"Lin Yi, that's what you have to pay attention to. Seeing that those 76ers guys don't have any three-point shooting ability, but this is not a problem, because they can attack the inside without any restraint. What they want is Put Howard back on the bench."

"And our current opponents are the same as them. They are full of strikers who can attack the inside. Our basket is often harassed by these guys, but these Eagles are more troublesome. Their three-point shooting ability is not weak. , so we can't get the defense back like we did against the 76ers."

"What you have to face now is the trouble Howard faced just now. Compared with the perimeter defenders who move faster, your attack target will be bigger. They want to draw fouls from you. Only you The longer they are out, the better off they are."

"You know, our inside defense system revolves around you. Without you, our inside defense often seems a bit empty. This is a problem with the team's staffing. I really want to have one of you. A stand-in, but that's not possible, so I need you to be on the court as long as possible."

"Reduce unnecessary fouls, and try to use my deterrent power where it is needed most. In the space under the basket, what I need is not only your blocking shots, but also your rebounding control. The rebounds in the two games are really not many."

Spoelstra pointed to the clips on the TV screen and said to Lin Yi, these words of the Filipinos, Lewis and the others also said to Lin Yi a few days ago, the current NBA is like this, those brainless The rules will allow swinging forwards and guards to attack the inside wantonly.

And those big men who concentrate on defense have to bear such a brainless charge that makes no sense at all. When they try to block their opponents, they often only have whistles, not applause, unless their blocking action is necessary. It's so clean that even the TV camera can't pick out any faults.

Otherwise, the only thing waiting for them is the whistle sounded because of a foul. Looking at what happened to Howard, Lin Yi also felt a little sympathetic to this black big man. This is the embarrassment of the center right now. There are no rules to protect their interests. Yes, but all disadvantages are aimed at them.

"I will pay attention to the boss, at least, I will not spend time on the bench like this guy, I will try to reduce the number of fouls I have when defending, and will not let the team play because of my fouls My hands and feet are bound, my head should be much smarter than that big guy."

If Howard could hear Lin Yi's evaluation of him, I don't know if this big black man would immediately ask for a one-on-one duel with Lin Yi. Of course, no one can guarantee that he can win. When it comes to basket skills, it is obvious that Lin Yi is much more flexible than him.

Except for the Cavaliers in the Eastern Division, the rest are inseparable. It may even take until the sixth and seventh games to decide the winner. This situation may not have been predicted by many people. , including those so-called experts did not think of it.

These experts who usually stay at home began to use their omniscient brains, and began to evaluate the performance of these teams in all aspects. No matter how ugly the scene was in the previous two games, at least the Eastern Conference The final four is still the center of everyone's discussion.

Compared with the somewhat chaotic rebellion situation in the East, the West seems to be a little calm. The Mavericks and the Lakers have won their opponents at their home courts. The only accidental miss may be that the Nuggets lost to the Hornets at home, but everyone can see that the New Orleans are just doing the final struggle.

When there is only one Paul playing normally, don't expect any good results from New Orleans, and don't expect the Denver people to make mistakes one after another. With a stable Billups sitting there, even if it is against Kobe , they are not at a disadvantage.

However, the Houston Rockets may have received the most attention. After all, there is only one YAO there, and his dominance in the first game is enough to make people happy. Many domestic media, including Miss Fan Ling They swarmed over there, and finally Lin Yi's side was much less disturbed.

YAO led the Rockets to a 1:1 draw with the Trail Blazers. This may be the most reported game in China. Everyone expected that the Eastern giant could overcome the curse of the first round, although it failed. The score was 2:0, but YAO did put a lot of pressure on the Blazers on the court. Some domestic media have even started clamoring to kill the Lakers.

This is a typical representative of high and far, at least Adelman will not show it so obviously if he has this idea. Although the grievances between this old man and Jackson are expected to continue to escalate this year, he still knows clearly that with the current lineup alone It is difficult to fundamentally shake the foundation of the Lakers.

The Lakers led by Kobe also started their playoff journey with their strong performance. Their goal this year is very clear. They want to reach the finals and add another ring to Jackson's finger. Let him become the coach with the most championships.

However, the Celtics also said that they want to defend Auerbach's honor. If they meet the Lakers again in the finals, they will still step on this old opponent, but now they seem to be Troubled in the first round, God knows if they will make it to the end.

Now it seems that the team most likely to go to the end is likely to be last year's regular season MVP and this year's regular season MVP. Kobe Bryant and LeBron James are the best for David Stein. Loved the scene to see, and that's exactly what these two teams have done in the first two games.

The two most popular teams in the East and West have continued their strong performances. The confrontation between Kobe and James has lasted for a season. It seems that it is very likely that the 23V24 finals will be the same as those fans expected. It is possible that it will really appear in front of everyone.

Although neither of the two parties responded to such predictions, they seem to have locked their opponents on each other early, including those hypocritical polite words and evaluations of each other, which seems to have been programmed It's like memorizing the manuscript.

But from the eyes of these two guys, it can be seen that they are not willing to let anyone step on top of them. Kobe and Little Emperor are both the kind of guys who only respect me, 23VS24?Perhaps when this comes true, it will be the most exciting finals.

However, it is best for them to pass the finals of the division first, because spoilers will always exist. Even if David Stein wants to watch the most peak duel, he needs to wait patiently for these two guys to conquer their respective divisions. The hidden challengers seem to be sharpening their knives.

For example, the group of Denver people are eagerly waiting for the Los Angeles people, and it seems that Cleveland may meet their strongest opponent in the next round, a group of flame emissaries from hell. The emperor's festival is not small, not to mention that there is a Flash standing next to him.

"Well, look, the newspapers said that this year's finals is 23VS24. It has nothing to do with you and me, especially nothing to do with you. At least Anthony's name is still there, but you are not treated like this." Lin Yi Pointing to a report in the newspaper, he said to Wade beside him.

"I want to always read the messy reports written by these guys. I have already killed myself to thank the world. They also said that I have slept with 1000 women. Do you believe it?" Wade has long been able to treat such reports. Ignored it, but he was still a little upset, so he curled his lips on purpose, as if he didn't care.

"I believe it. After reading the local newspapers in Miami two days ago, I believe it even more. It seems that you gave a championship ring to a girl because you drank too much. It is really difficult for you to tell me not to believe it. That photo Definitely not from PS." Lin Yi looked at Wade with very sincere eyes, as if admiring a prostitute.

"A man makes a mistake, a horse stumbles, that's an accident, really, I usually don't leave such a big deal to others, this is definitely a beautiful mistake, I have already forgotten the appearance of that girl, I swear , that was really a big misunderstanding, we just went to drink!"

Of course, Wade knew what Lin Yi was referring to. That embarrassing incident has now become ironclad evidence of the Miami media's criticism of him. The image of the good man who used to be the Flash was completely ruined, but he didn't care anymore. Anyway, he divorced his wife. The lawsuit has been exposed, at most there will be more negative news about him.

Don’t bite if there are too many lice, don’t worry if you have too many debts, anyway, it’s just a group photo, although my image is a bit embarrassed, but fortunately there is no more violent picture, God still takes care of him, At least some unsuitable things for children that day did not spread, luckily.

Lin has no words for this kind of promiscuous guy. Of course, this guy is not the only one in the Miami locker room who is so promiscuous. Each of those old and unscrupulous guys also has a lot of women's phone numbers in their phones. When playing away games, he often disappears briefly for a few hours.

It's not just Miami, maybe all NBA teams are like this, but Lin Yi himself seems a bit different among them, and there is no lack of women around him who take the initiative to flatter him. After all, this is a new millionaire, and he may soon It will be easy to upgrade to a multi-millionaire.

But Lin Yi always chooses to avoid such passionate women. He is not a sage and gentleman Liu Xiahui, but he knows what his bottom line is, and he still has two people in his heart. Fend off those hot babes who offer to commit themselves.

The game is still going on, and the playoffs are not very intensive, but the intensity of the game every two days is much greater than those of the regular season, and there is not much time left for each team to rest and adjust. Sufficient, which requires the team to try to resolve the battle as early as possible.

The Cavaliers may be the first team to get the match point. In the game on April 4th, they directly trapped the Pistons with the most realistic score, 25:79. A good match, but enough to get one foot into the second round early.

The fans in Detroit, Motor City, are full of despair for the result of such a game. They don't expect the team to create a miracle of comeback. They even only need the Pistons to win one game, but that's what the request seems to be. It's also hard to reach.

In another game played on the same day, the Magic lost the game 94:96 very competitively, and then they were very embarrassed to find that they fell behind again. Even if Howard scored 36 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks, It also failed to save the Magic's failure.

The Rockets also took a 2:1 lead. Although they only won by 3 points, the result is the most important. Although YAO only scored 7 points, the three blocks at the critical moment still saved the Rockets. This Rocket lacked McGrady team, and did not lose their booster.

Moreover, with his own power, all four of the opponent's insiders were troubled by fouls. Uncle Oden's face was so distressed that he was about to become a Shar Pei, but obviously someone was more troubled than him, and that was the Blazers. The leader Roy, every time he prepares to fight back, he will suffer the worst blow. In addition to being slapped hard by YAO, he is also very unlucky to leave the field with six fouls at the last moment.

But obviously there are people who are more unlucky than him, such as Mike Woodson, this unlucky guy, this very simple-looking middle-aged man saw the most tragic scene unfolding in his home stadium, the invading enemy The Miami Heat are ravaging the Hawks in Atlanta.

Just like in the second game, Wade continued to lead this group of old ghosts to torment the souls of the Eagles. His impact alone was enough to tear apart the opponent's defense. Wade's magical performance in the game was enhanced, but that didn't stop Wade from completing his performance.

Layup with a pull-bar in the air, a one-handed dunk through Hofford, a three-pointer at the buzzer when 24 seconds were approaching, not to mention this guy's simple and rough pull-up when facing the defense of Smith and Evans The three-pointer succeeded, 29 points and 4 blocked shots, 8 of 5 three-pointers, Wade directly led the group of lunatics of the Heat to win the opponent by 29 points.

107:78, this is the first impression of the Miami people on Atlanta. This group of lunatics who came out of Miami will not have any mercy. They are here to win, and they will not care about the opponent's home game According to the fans, victory is the only goal.

This is a complete revenge, and even the interest has been doubled. It can be said that he pulled out all the feathers of the Eagles in this game, and even the broadcasters in the commentary can't help it. Shouted the MVP slogan, don't forget, this is in Atlanta, not Miami.

Mike Woodson could only express helplessly in an interview after the game. When Wade was able to make 18 of 11 three-pointers in two games, his shooting percentage was almost [-]%. How to do?release?That three-point rain is rushing, let it go suddenly?Friends from the reporter, please ask yourself if Hovd is still upset about that heavy dunk by Wade on the field just now.

"We used the whole team's efforts to stop him, as long as he passed one person, the other person would stick to him immediately, but it didn't work at all. Wade was crazy this night. We didn't have any There is no way to make him disappear from our sight." This is the answer of the Eagles.

Although they won, Spoelstra was not very satisfied. Their control of rebounds was still poor, but there was very good news. The kid is finally coming back to life.

Maybe when he returns to the field, the real carnage will happen. . .Poor eagles, wait for this guy to cook you a feast, he is definitely the kind of bloodthirsty butcher. . .And you will definitely be a delicacy on the table. . .

Braised eagle claws?The taste of this dish may be quite good, don't you believe it?You come to try?
(The Hong Kong team defeated the Korean Olympic team 4:1, and the Chinese Olympic team was defeated by the Korean Olympic team 0:3. I saw Hong Kong win 2:4 two days ago, and the Olympic team thought they could beat South Korea S1, who knows that I was labeled as S13... An Yi, watching the Chinese team's game is really safe, it will always be a loser...)
