Chapter 92 Sweeping and Injuries

The Suns easily defeated the Jazz. Zhao Yue played 25 minutes and scored 17 points and 12 rebounds, performing quite well.

After the game, there was a lot of praise for the Suns. The Suns played well from the main player to the substitute. Everyone thought that the score of this game was the gap between the strength of the two teams. They did not think that the Jazz could bring much trouble to the Suns.

In the second game, the Suns also easily faced the game, and finally defeated the Jazz again 99:79 at the American Airlines Center, rewriting the series score to 2:0. This game is like a replica of the first game. From the first quarter, the Suns have been firmly taking the initiative. Except for the first goal to take the lead, the Jazz is all in the chasing stage.

Zhao Yue played 24 minutes in this game and got 16 points and 11 rebounds. According to reason, with Zhao Yue's current ability, it is too simple to get such data. In fact, his data should be better, but the team now has Anthony, and he only needs to be responsible for defense. With Anthony's score The master is there, scoring, Soeasy.

At the same time, Zhao Yue also found a characteristic of himself. It seems that the pressure during the game does not affect his performance, but will stimulate him to be more excited. He can obviously feel that the state of the playoffs is better than the end of the regular season. He doesn't know how to describe his personality. Is he crazy? Maybe, but it's a good thing, isn't it?

The third game of the two teams will be played against Utah. With a huge advantage of 2:0, the Suns came to their first away field of the playoffs very easily. Although Gentry also tried to keep the Suns' players vigilant, he had no idea in mind not to take the Jazz seriously.

The Suns all underestimated the enemy, while the Jazz fought to the death, because they knew that if they lost again, they would almost go straight home. The mentality of the two teams was different, but the result was not unexpected by everyone. Although the Jazz showed a completely different state from the first two games in this game, whether it was offensive or defensive, they still had to fight for three quarters and surrender.

Throughout the game, Anthony ushered in a big outbreak, scoring 51 points, and Nash also unswervingly scored 18 points and 12 assists. At the same time, Zhao Yue also maintained his 15+10 double-double data, easily won the Jazz away and rewrite the total score to 3:0.

3:0 score, the Suns' promotion to the second round is already a matter of certainty, and now it is only a matter of time for them to advance.

In the fourth game between the two sides, the Jazz played countless slogans that refused to sweep at home, but the hope was beautiful and the reality was cruel.

In the fourth game, the Utah Iron Army exerted the strength of their Iron Army and equalized the backward score again and again, but the gap in strength was there. If it was the combination of black and white in those years, it might have been able to overtake the score, but the current Jazz obviously does not have this strength.

But the Jazz deserves to be known as the Iron Army. As the game deepens, the Jazz' defense becomes more and more rigorous and moves. However, the game is at their home court, and the referees are biased towards them, and many foul referees turn a blind eye to them.

Finally, something happened. In an attack, Nash tripped over by Laga Bell during the breakthrough. Nash covered his ankles and rolled on the ground in pain. Several Suns players on the field ran forward to observe. Hill was still experienced and quickly waved to call the team doctor.

After diagnosis, Nash's ankle was indeed injured, and it took about three to five weeks to rest. Hearing the news, the players of the Suns looked at each other in consolence. You know, Nash is the Sun' backcourt engine, the Sun's ball controller, the commander on the Suns field, without Nash, and then the game will It's a little difficult to play. Although Dragic's performance so far is relatively good, compared with Nash, both experience and technology are still a little worse.

Nash is injured and will need three to five weeks to recover, which means that if the Suns can enter the following round, Nash will be absent from the next game. This blow is really too big for the Suns.

Although the Suns still swept the Jazz in the end, the players of the Suns were not happy at all.

After the Suns' game, the first round of the playoffs between the East and the West ended, and the outcome of the game was unexpected by the expert media.

In the east, in addition to the Celtics' 4:2 victory over the Knicks, the Bulls defeated the Pacers 4:2, the Magic 4:1 victory over the Eagles, and the Heat 4:1 victory over the 76ers. In addition to the score, this is consistent with the outside prediction before the start of the first round.

In the west, the Lakers easily swept the Nuggets 4:0, the Clippers lost to the Thunder, and the Suns 4:0 swept the Jazz. The most surprising thing was the Spurs and the Mavericks' series. The Mavericks reversed 2-0 behind, and finally defeated the Spurs 4:3 and performed the Black Eight miracle.

The top four of the east and west were produced, and the corresponding duel was also released. In the Eastern semifinals, the Heat vs. Celtics, Bulls vs. Magic; the Western semifinals, Mavericks vs. Thunder, Lakers vs. Suns.

The teams that have entered the semifinals can be called strong teams, but several of them are undoubtedly more concerned. Kobe and James are now the two hottest superstars in the league, and their team has certainly received more attention.

Now Nash, the core player of the Suns, is injured and can't play. In the face of the Lakers with powerful stars such as Kobe, Bynum, Big Gasol and Odom, relying only on Anthony and Zhao Yue, there is no doubt that it is a very severe test for the Suns. Even if the Suns can pass the Lakers, it must be It's also very difficult, so it's a little dangerous for them to play in the next round.

I have to say that injury is a problem that athletes have to face, and it is also a very headache that athletes have to face.
