Chapter 456 The melee of the Eastern Powers
The entanglement between knights and wizards must continue after 2:2. Anyway, no matter who can enter the next round, they will play at least six games, which is good news for the Celtics.
However, Rivers is quite gloomy to hope that this round of confrontation can be dragged until the seventh game. After all, whether it is the Wizards or the Cavaliers, as long as it can consume more physical strength, why not?
Rivers is not so bored to challenge the higher difficulty and can simply pass. For these guys who are ready to reach the finals, it is the best choice, so it is the best to play the seventh game.
But now the media in Washington and Cleveland are busy attacking each other's playing style, but no one puts the spirit on the Celtics. After all, it can't beat the first round. Isn't it useless to think so much!
Although the people of Cleveland really want to kill Boston together, now they have to worry about it. Compared with those animals in Washington, guys like Stevenson are even more abominable than Chen Feng!
At least the tough bald boy will not open his hands and celebrate like a gorilla when dealing with you, but Stevenson likes such a move. This kind of provocation makes the people of Cleveland very depressed.
Especially the little emperor was very depressed, because the open-mouthed Stevenson kept spitting on him, saying that he was an overrated good baby and could never learn to be tough or win the championship.
This kind of ridicule is not the first time to appear. It's just that you meet such a guy full of rubbish words. You are really helpless. In addition to enduring this guy's brutal collision, you have to listen to him fishing endlessly in your ear!
If it is not illegal to kill, perhaps the little emperor has already prepared to bombard Stevenson with Scud. As long as the animal can be shut up immediately, maybe James will be happy to do anything.
The Cavaliers also wanted to fight back, but the result of being double-killed away from home made them have no confidence to say such a thing. Even when the fans booed at the other side, it seemed that something was missing.
Now the degree of anger that Cleveland people are angry with Mike Brown can be said to be unprecedented.
"We need to win! Instead of two fiascos, how to reach the finals in such a state!?"
Such doubts began to sound from the regular season, but after losing to the Wizards in a row, it began to explode in geometric multiples. In response to Mike Brown's crusade, it began to shake the guy's confidence.
Now many Cleveland people say that you can't beat Eddie Jordan, and you still expect to kill Popovich?
It's not that Eddie Jordan is very weak, but you can't even beat the fifth Wizards in the East. Can you kill the Celtics or the Spurs last season? This kind of comparison really doesn't make sense!
This is not an sarcasm, it's just pointing out the facts, but for Mike Brown, it's a kind of pressure.
This black fat man can now feel what the silence from the management represents. If he can't handle the Wizards, then the Gilbert brothers really don't mind sweeping the head coach out.
Anyway, there are so many head coaches in the NBA. Why do you have to use this guy? Just because he is fat?
Now the Cavaliers are in a bad situation. It is not only the coach's level that has been questioned, but also the little emperor's dominance has begun to be told as a story. Is this guy really like Stevenson said? Is it an overrated idol? Although no one will say this kind of thing, the questioning look made the little emperor uncomfortable.
However, there is only one way to prove yourself, that is, to kill the Wizards in the rest of the game and enter the second round. It is best to win the championship all the way, so that it is convincing.
And the current task of the Celtics is to watch, inhumane onlookers. They are not only concerned about the result of the fight between the Wizards and the Cavaliers, after all, there is a team that will meet them in the next round.
In addition to caring about the next opponent, Sieberdeau and Rivers are also speculating about the results of the other two confrontations.
The magic meets the Raptors and the Pistons hit Philadelphia. Regardless of the result of the melee of these four teams, anyway, another Eastern Conference final quota can only be generated between them. It is also a question who can get it.
It's just that looking at the situation now, the situation is not good for the other two teams in the Atlantic Division that have entered the playoffs.
The Raptors thought they could get closer to the playoffs after getting rid of the result of meeting the Celtics.
As a result, these sad guys bumped into the magic head-on, thinking that it would be a confrontation with the Cavaliers.
At least the inside line of those Clevelanders is very bad. Bosh, a guy who can stir up in the inside line, can have a day out, but he didn't expect the Cavaliers to fall to the fourth place in the East.
Well, the Raptors' thousands of opponents have now become the Orlando Magic, and the insiders of the Orlando people also have a tendon **, which is simply the nightmare of the Raptors.
Bosh is not the kind of character who likes to fight with people in the three-second zone when he has nothing to do. He relies more on his flexible running position, as well as the accurate shooting, and the opponent's power forward to deal with technology.
And Tekoglu suffered a slight loss in height, and the guy's defensive consciousness was not so strong. This was originally Bosh's advantage, but he didn't expect that the inside line would collapse so fast!
Before Bosh could wait for the one-on-one fight against Tekoglu, the Raptors were blown up by their opponents in three seconds!
Italian Bagnani is now at least the starting center of the Raptors. Although the data is still unreliable, the scarcity of big men allows this guy to finally take the position of the main force.
In the final stage of the regular season, he can also contribute an average of two pairs of data per game, which is also a great help for the Raptors to enter the playoffs. Even Bosh said that Bagnani's progress this season is amazing.
But this degree of progress can only show that the Italian is integrating into the rhythm of the NBA, and it does not mean that he has played the ability to match his top talent, and he can't take it off for the time being.
The confrontation between Bagnani and Howard exposed this guy's shortcomings. The weakness of the confrontation under the basket collapsed in an instant under the impact of "Warcraft", and Bagnani was beaten by his opponent under the basket!
Howard has not reached the level of a top center, at least in terms of attack, it is true. The sequela of his tough tendon is that Howard has never had a soft touch.
Compared with Bagnani, Howard's biggest advantage is strength, and he can jump higher than his opponent. He can open his arms in the air to take off the rebound ball, and he can also dunk on the opponent's head!
These are enough. Don't expect Bagnani to be an excellent defensive talent. This guy's contribution under the basket, except for the offensive footsteps, has been blown up by Howard's fierceness!
Before Bosh could win the initiative in the fight with Tecoglu, the Raptors had lost the three-second zone, and Bagnani actually watched Howard get 20 rebounds in a game! 22 points! These two pairs of large size are really dizzying! In a duel of similar strength, if one point is blown up, then the victory will tilt, and the Raptors will fall at home, that is, because Bagnani is not strong!
But this problem can't be solved in a day. It's too difficult to find a reliable big man now.
Bagnani can be regarded as a potential stock. As you can imagine, if this is in the 1990s, the golden age of insiders, it must not be despised to death? Damn it, he can't even play as a substitute!
But now this is the situation. Do you like it or not? It's just at this level. Anyway, it's almost the same. Don't you use it? Others are still scrambling for it! Otherwise, how can Howard's mediocre offensive ability be regarded as a treasure!?
You know, even O'Neal, an old shark that is about to die, as long as he is not injured, he can completely explode Howard's street, not to mention that Howard has never taken advantage of the confrontation with YAO Ming.
This guy can jump and jump, coupled with a strong tendon, which looks quite stinging. It must be a catch to clean up the soft persimmon like Bagnani, but if he meets an opponent with solid skills under the basket, he will definitely finish playing, or meet someone who is more arrogant than himself, and he can't play with it. Turn.
But this time Howard is going to deal with Bagnani. He can beat that guy. In four confrontations, he can reach more than 15 rebounds in these four games, and taking two pairs of data is like playing!
It's too difficult for the Raptors to turn over now. Except for the first game, Bosh Fawei scored 35 points, which stunned the Magic team. But in the next three games, his scoring efficiency plummeted under Tekoglu's close defense, and it was lucky to maintain an average of 20 points per game, let alone win. It is.
It can only be said that the fate of the Raptors is also a little sad this time. It seems that it is not difficult to beat the first round of the playoffs, but this time, at least they are not swept out.
But if you are out in the first round for two consecutive years, this life is really an ordinary pain. God bless it.
The Raptors are having a hard time, and the Philadelphia 76ers are not happy, but these guys who unexpectedly killed the seventh place really caused a lot of trouble for the Pistons.
"I have to say that the biggest dark horse of this season may be the Philadelphia 76ers. They began to work wildly in the final stage of the regular season. After entering the playoffs, they won the first game in Detroit!"
Everyone knows how difficult it is to win in Detroit. Even if the Celtics kill them, they dare not say that they will definitely win the other side, but the Philadelphians have done it so fiercely!
They won the Pistons 90:86 away in the first match of the playoffs.
Maybe it was an accident, but you can't deny the strong temperament of these guys. In four games, except for the first victory, they lost three games, but the three games were added together that they lost to the Pistons!
It can be said that every game is divided at the last minute. If the Pistons don't have a super heart like Lupus, or a Hamilton who can walk ghostly, the result may change differently. For this, even the Pistons themselves admit that the opponent is really difficult. Entanglement.
I'm afraid no one can predict such a drama before the start of the game, but it is undeniable that this is the attraction of the playoffs. Everything is unknown, and even a strong team like the Pistons will fail.
Fortunately, these guys are still strong enough to find their calm mentality in the face of the unreasonable play in Philadelphia, seize the loophole of the other party's inexperience, and win three games in a row.
But now neither the Magic nor the Pistons dare to say that they can deal with their opponents in the next game. Maybe their struggle with the Raptors and the Philadelphia 76ers will continue.
As for the dead end between the knights and the wizards, it is the same. The chaotic eastern situation is reflected in the playoffs.
Everything is disorderly, and the strength is not so obvious, oh, except for the Celtic animals.
When the era of chaos begins, no one knows whether you can win the next game, and I'm afraid the entanglement of the eastern powers will continue.
The green shirts who took the lead in breaking out, while watching, were also clenching their fists and preparing for a fatal blow.
