Chapter 323 All are dead
The Pistons defended their home advantage, but they only kept a win. No one wants to mention the previous defeat, but Sanders and Detroit fans know that winning is just equalizing the score.
A victory is just to drag the two sides back to the same starting line, and everything has to start again.
The Celtics have won and lost away from home, which is not bad. At least the Boston media think it is very scientific. It is a victory to pull out a game on the territory of the eastern boss.
Although the Pistons' home results have declined this season, no matter what, they are also the leaders in the East. Their record is not dazzling, but it is better than the pursuers behind them. This is an indisputable fact.
It is said that the east is weak and the west is strong. In fact, this is not unfounded. If the Pistons' results are put in the west, it can only swing around four or five places at most. Their victory is more than a dozen games worse than that of the Mavericks.
The inspiration of the Heat last season suddenly killed the Mavericks of the West, but who can defend the honor of the East this season? I don't think anyone can give an answer. Even the Pistons, it seems a little overwhelmed now.
Some commentators even pessimistically believe that in two or three seasons, the strength of the West will overwhelm the East.
"Although there are big sharks like O'Neill who travel back to the Eastern Conference, the gap between the two sides cannot be reversed by the arrival of one person. The average level of the western team is indeed more competitive than that of the Eastern Conference."
But in this acre of land in the east, the piston is still the boss, and it is still unshakable in the short term.
Even Murphy, a loyalist, said, "Even if the Pistons are not as strong as before, they can easily occupy the boss position in the regular season in the east, which itself is a symbol of strong strength."
"The rise of the Cavaliers this season is very strong. If they want to be the leader of the East, James will have to pay more attention, and the management of Cleveland will have to find some help for him."
Murphy said this for no reason. At least the Cavaliers' regular season results are also the second in the East.
But the performance of these guys in the playoffs really didn't see any dominance. The confrontation between the Nets and the Nets in the first round was stumbling. When they met with the Bulls in the second round, the two sides may be another fight.
It turned out that Murphy was right. After a draw between the Pistons and the Celtics, the confrontation between the Cavaliers and the Bulls was also a 1:1 situation, and the Clevelanders finally won back a city.
Just like the Pistons, the Cavaliers are also in a situation that can't be retreated after losing the first game. If they lose the second home advantage, they are likely to return to Chicago as a result of being swept away.
Everyone knows that the Bulls' attack is crazy. These guys can play so well in the regular season by a storm of youth. Once they go crazy, no one can stop them.
Just like these guys killed the Spurs and the Suns at home, they were really rushed by this group of calves. The sharp horns may stab someone to death. Clevelanders don't want to be a live target.
36 points, 12 assists and 3 steals. The little emperor launched a crazy attack in the shouts of 20,000 Cleveland fans. From the first second after the start of the game, this guy fiercely raised the Cavalier's spear.
The depression and depression of the first game were completely released by the little emperor. The 20,000 fans sitting in the quick loan stadium also enjoyed almost 48 minutes, and the little emperor almost played the whole game.
Mike Brown completely gave James the command on the court, and his role on the sidelines was to replace him.
I have to say that if you just think about what kind of nanny a team should have, Mike Brown must be a very qualified candidate, because this guy rarely conflicts with the top stars in his team.
Just like Rivers's private comments on Mike Brown, "He is with James, and he is more like an assistant coach. If necessary, he can even give the on-the-spot command to the little emperor."
Such a coach will probably like a superstar, because he won't tell you what to do and what you can't do like Larry Brown or Popovich. He will make you do whatever you want.
Even Mike Brown himself said, "With a player like James playing under him, many things will become very simple, because you just need to give the ball to him and then watch him perform, and I prefer to be a good audience and appreciate his every attack and every score on the side of the court. . "
You can say that he is giving confidence in his players, but what more people interpret is probably another meaning. Excessive compliment and protection, sometimes it may not be a good thing.
Rivers also believes that the existence of Chen Feng and Rondo is very important to the team, but if these two kids have nothing to do, they should clean up. He is also not soft, and sometimes he will even be very strict.
Enwei and giving is the right way to rule his subordinates. At least Auerbach will not coax anyone so low. Even a superstar like Bill Russell has to be a good baby in front of the bishop.
In fact, Phil Jackson does the same. You can see the communication between him and Jordan, but it is definitely not to follow Jordan's arrangement. It should be the work of a "Zen master" and will never let anyone interfere with him.
But Mike Brown's smartest place is to hide behind James and win. Everyone is cheering and shouting at the little emperor and losing. The first thing to be bombarded by the media is also the little emperor who has been standing in front.
It's just that this time the Cavaliers were a winner. They won the game at home at 102:92. The little emperor's furious performance of the data suppressed the Bulls' firepower net. In the last quarter, they won 9 points.
Although the little emperor's data is beautiful, the game is also delayed until the last few minutes to decide the winner. At the critical moment, the Bulls' shooting accuracy suddenly declined, and they did not score for more than 100 seconds in a row, which made the Cavaliers' lead continue to expand. When their feel come back, there is no gap of more than 10 points. The law catches up.
However, after watching the video of the game, Rivers and Sieberdeau also gave a comment, "If they continue to play in this state, even if the Cavaliers win, they will definitely lose after entering the Eastern Conference Finals."
"This kind of attack mode, which is too dependent on individuals, once it encounters an opponent with a particularly strong defense, it will always collapse at a critical moment. No one can help him around James, which will be very fatal."
I guess this problem is not the first thing they see, but this is already the playoffs. Even if the Cavaliers want to add the thickness of the lineup, it is also a question to be considered after summer.
No matter how they think about it now, they have to insist on using this lineup to continue to fight with the Bulls. Maybe what the Clevelands can pray is that only the performance of the little emperor can keep every game so fierce.
Otherwise, the little emperor will turn off the engine. Who can take them forward? Larry Hughes? Or is it the injured Marshall? Anyway, Gooden's contribution is just like that. It's a little unreliable to count on him.
Anyway, the score is equalized. The question for the Cavaliers to consider is whether they can win a game in Chicago or not, and then go back to the speed loan stadium.
In fact, it is not only the fierce fighting in the east, but also in the west. Although the Utah Jazz has a big score of 2-0, they did not win the game until overtime.
Old Nelson's team went crazy again, but this time they failed to seize the final shot in the fourth quarter, which made Sloan breathe. As a result, the old guy completed the double kill against the Warriors in overtime.
The score of 127:117 looks frightening. If the Warriors' three-pointer can be a little more accurate, the final outcome of the game is really hard to say. Anyway, Sloan thought he was lucky after the game.
However, although old Nelson lost two games, the old man had put down his harsh words before leaving Salt Lake City, "Back to Oakland Stadium, we will let the Jazz know what the craziest attack is!"
It can be seen that this crazy old man is very worried about his team's loss in overtime.
And the Warriors, who are holding their breath, if they really return to their home court, no one knows how much they can go. Maybe just like they overturned the Mavericks, there will be a miracle at the Oakland Stadium?
The Warriors' anger of vowing revenge has not dissipated. A team with more offensive firepower than them has also completed a self-redemption, and the Phoenix Suns finally defended their honor at home.
In the first game, he was suppressed by his opponent's attack. In the second game, Nash led a fierce man such as Little Stadmeier and Marion, which really played the bombardment tactics to the extreme.
Chasing three points, the air relay across the half, all kinds of magical throws, as long as it is a means to score, these guys have used almost all of them. It can be said that this makes the Spurs unpreventable.
101:81, in this playoffs, the Spurs lost 20 points in the first game, especially in the last quarter, they were won 13 points by their opponents! The Suns played a small ** of 30:17.
It was the last small **, which directly submerged the Spurs' counterattack firepower. Even Popovich admitted that they had planned to fight back in the fourth quarter, but as a result, the opponent's attack was more fierce than them.
Eight teams, after two rounds of fighting, three pairs competed into a 1:1 situation. Even if the Jazz led 2:0, it didn't look very reliable. The blood washing trend in the first round was gone, and the real fight began to become tragic.
This is similar to what Chen Feng said, "Everyone is busy fighting. Who can laugh to the end? This is really uncertain. Maybe the result will be unexpected by many people. This is an era of melee."
In the endless struggle, there will always be a bloody way, but before that, let these guys continue to be crazy. This is the playoffs and the place where the winner is the king...
(I can't stand the headache. I've finished writing. Er, I've been doing well recently. Good boy. Don't you consider praising me?)
