NBA: I Really Have No Talent

Chapter 545 : After the first round, a few families are happy and some are sad!

This season’s SuperSonics are undoubtedly a typical example of high and low walks. Relying on Gary Payton’s still strong performance, Schramf, Hawkins, and Vin Baker’s performances are all online. Second-best record outside of the Jazz.

However, as the season continued, injuries and state ups and downs eroded the team, resulting in a very obvious decline in its combat effectiveness. Record ranked eighth in the West, will enter the playoffs.

Facing such an opponent, the generals of the Jazz were in a relatively relaxed mood, especially after knowing that Weinbeck could not play due to injury, they were even more confident.

If they can’t beat such an opponent, then their regular-season winning record is too watery.

Judging from the team’s comprehensive combat strength, team morale, and recent competitive state, the Jazz cannot find a reason to lose.

With a great psychological advantage, the Jazz opened the first game of the first round of the playoffs with the Sonics at home.

Because of the SuperSonics’ lack of strength in the interior, Jerry Sloan made a direct change, replacing Ostertag and Ben Wallace, and the small forward position also changed. Justojakovic started in place of Brian Russell, with the other three positions unchanged.

On the other hand, the SuperSonics are still the starting lineup in the regular season.

The game starts soon..

Big Ben’s pressure was 5 centimeters taller than Polynis, helping the Jazz get the opportunity to take the lead in attacking.

Beyond the three-point line, Wang Zheng took the ball and made a fake pass to the basket. Big Ben took a violent dunk and scored, helping the Jazz open first.

In the subsequent defensive round, when Wang Pan put a lot of defensive pressure on Gary Payton, and Hawkins was harassed by Stockton’s small moves, Schramf took the ball and threw it, but It was Big Ben, who was being chased after him, who slapped the basketball directly and flew out.

After two seasons, Big Ben’s defensive skills have increased several times. The advantage in strength and speed makes up for his disadvantage in height. The defensive radius and deterrence are extremely good. Compared with this season, his spirit has dropped significantly. Karl Malone has to come reassuringly.

After successfully completing the defense, the Jazz defended and counterattacked. Stockton took the ball and trotted past the half court. Wang Xin had already rushed into the free throw line area.

Seeing this, Stockton immediately passed the basketball over.

“Clap~~

The moment she raised her hand to receive the basketball, Wang Xin stomped on the floor and jumped high, but she didn’t shoot herself. Instead, after attracting the attention of all the defenders around, she used the basketball to her feet without looking at anyone. Breakout location.

I saw that Peja had already been waiting to be placed, and he took the ball and shot a three-pointer decisively. The basketball crossed a beautiful parabola in the air and went straight into the basket.

“Ah~

The three-pointer hit, the point difference expanded to 5.0!

However, this is not the end.

Over the next few minutes, the Sonics realized the gap between themselves and the Jazz.

Especially with Gary Payton restricted by Wang Pan, it’s really hard for them to organize an effective offense.

Outside line Wang Pan, inside line big book!

This defensive axis combination has caused the Sonics to suffer.

In the end, they had no choice but to watch the point difference continue to expand. It wasn’t that the Supersonics didn’t work hard enough, but that they couldn’t find a chance to win.

In the case of home games, Wang Xin easily scored 23 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals and 1 block. The quasi-triple-double data led the Jazz to easily defeat the SuperSonics by a large score.

As long as the fans and viewers who watched this game have an idea, that is, the Jazz have a high probability of be able to easily defeat the Sonics, and then advance to the Western Conference semifinals.

As if to confirm everyone’s speculation, the Jazz still did not give the opponent the slightest chance in the second match against the Supersonics in the first round of the playoffs a day later. With the Supersonics strengthening their defense, Wang Zheng He increased the number of shots made by himself, hit 10 three-pointers in a single game, scored 41 points in the whole game, and led the team to another victory.

Going away with a big score of 2:0, the Jazz have a great advantage here.

Especially in the case of the best-of-five-five-three system in the first round, they only need to win one more game to easily advance to the Western Conference semifinals.

The fans who supported them were not disappointed. In the subsequent away game, the Jazz still made great progress. Even with the help of the referee, the SuperSonics had great defensive moves, but the gap in hard power still made them only Can regret to swallow the failure.

With a 3-0 victory over the Sonics, the Jazz showed their power and dominance to everyone.

Compared with Wang Xin’s smooth and very smooth game situation, other teams in the league are different.

On the west side, the Lakers and the Rockets fought fiercely for four games. In the end, the Purple and Gold had the last laugh. The power of Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant’s combination of inside and outside lines has already revealed its hideous side in the playoffs. , In the case of Olajuwon’s competitive state has obviously declined, Charles Barkley is still limited to fighting alone, and Scott Pippen is struggling alone, the Rockets are obviously not opponents.

Next, the Lakers will meet the Jazz in the Western Conference semifinals, a situation that directly dilutes their joy of victory.

In the other two matchups, the Spurs also defeated the Suns by a big score of 3:1, while the Trail Blazers and the Kings fought five games and finally defeated the Kings in a thrilling manner.

(Zhao Nuozhao) The other group matchup in the Western Semifinals has also been released, which is the Spurs VS Trail Blazers.

The gaze shifted from the east to that side, which was different from the relatively reasonable ending on the west side, and the east side was a big upset.

The Heat, which ranked first in the East in the regular season, was beaten by the Knicks, who ranked eighth in the regular season, with a score of 2:3, causing an uproar.

The Eagles also fought fiercely in five games, beating the Pistons.

In the remaining two matchups, the Magic 1:3 is not lower than the 76ers, and the Pacers beat the Bucks 3:0.

As a result, the Eastern Conference semifinal matchup has also been determined, namely the Knicks VS Eagles, 76ers VS Pacers.

Before the semi-final stage officially opened, all the honors of this season’s regular season had already been selected, and the league announced them as soon as possible.
