Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 503 The Eagle Is Too Difficult

"Leonard hit the free throw steadily. There is no suspense in the game. The Knicks' undefeated golden body continues."

In this game, the Eagles took turns using Carroll and Millsap to deal with Leonard, but Leonard still played a strong offense.

After the game, Hawks head coach Budenholzer called Leonard a top player in the league, "From now on, we will consider everything. At any time you have to match up with the top players in the league. This is a challenge, and we will dare to face the challenge. Next we will play better and better, and we have this confidence."

Zhang Sixin praised Middleton, who hit consecutive three-pointers during the rotation time. He said: "The basket is very wide for him. He has talent in this area. He is a good puzzle piece for the team. There is no doubt about it."

Leonard said in an interview, "At critical moments, I have to perform better, and I will also try to create opportunities for others. I like the feeling of the game."

The second game of the Eastern Conference finals will start soon, and the Eagles have made a lot of preparations.

But at the beginning of the game, they played worse than they played on the field.

Leonard was mid-range in the first quarter, and even broke through for a complete dunk. Carroll was completely unable to limit the Knicks' strongest point.

Hawks head coach Budenholzer is Popovich's disciple, but he doesn't have the vigor of his teacher.

Facing Leonard, who is in excellent form, the Eagles mainly focus on wheel-to-wheel battles and defense. They never made up their minds to carry out flanking attacks, and their internal defense was not good at all.

In addition to Leonard, other Knicks also have stable output.

Facing Teague, Lowry is much stronger than Wall.

Green and Antetokounmpo both conscientiously sit on their own affairs. They don't have a strong sense of presence, but they always sit and contribute to the team. Both defense and scoring are done very well.

Gobert is also very stable defensively. He may be almost in the face of that aggressive insider, and the two insiders of the Eagles are considered technical, and Gobert can interfere with their shots very well.

The Hawks' lineup seems to have no shortcomings, but they are somewhat restrained by the Knicks, both offensive and defensive.

"What's the matter with the Eagles now? They were a little short in the last quarter before, but now they are pulling at the start."

"No way, it depends on who the opponent is. The Knicks are really too strong."

"The Knicks' defense can be said to be terrifying. The Hawks score worse than the Nets and Wizards. No player is easy to get in double figures. They are still too ordinary."

"Civilian teams are like this in the playoffs, and they can't perform at all."

"Their number of All-Stars seems to be the same as the Knicks. It can only be said that the level of the head coach is too far behind."

"The Eagles are already good, but they met the Knicks."

"With the Knicks in the playoffs, can the teams in the West challenge them in the Finals?"

"The strong teams in the West should be able to do it, but it's hard to say. Now I feel that the Knicks haven't done their best yet."

It was the second game of the Eastern Conference finals, and many fans began to look forward to the finals.

Let's see now which old friend Zhang Sixin will bring the Knicks to face.

This may be a bit disrespectful to the Eagles, but the respect is played out. The Eagles really lost their temper when they were defended by the Knicks on the court.

And none of them can stand up, and their weak all-stars simply don't have the ability to take over the game.

"The Eagles' lineup, how should I put it... civilian teams can't do offense, and their All-Star ability is too common. Their strengths can be a puzzle, but none of them has the ability to lead the team." Zhang Sixin said honestly.

In the first half, the Eagles couldn't stand it a little bit, and the whistle at halftime saved them.

However, they didn't last long.

In the third quarter, the three Knicks broke out in the backcourt at the same time, directly ending the suspense of the game, and clocked out of get off work in the third quarter.

"Is this the Eastern Conference Finals? It feels easier than the previous ones."

"Hey, the lineup of the Eagles is really not as good as the Wizards now."

The Knicks won more easily than last time. Some experts analyzed the game: "Budenholzer loves basketball. He is a very good person. He knows what players are on his team. Under his command, the Eagles don't necessarily need talented players."

"But it is difficult for a team without a superstar to win a championship. There is no player in the Hawks who can double-team the Knicks. The Knicks have too many talents, and Leonard's ability is dominant."

In this case, no one thinks the Hawks will win the series.

They go home and must prove everyone else wrong.

But it's not easy, their style of play is difficult to pose a threat to the Knicks.

To be honest, Zhang Sixin thinks that the Wizards are the only team that could be upset. The Wizards have not succeeded, and the Eagles will not do it either.

At home in the Phillips Arena, the Eagles players are still full of momentum.

Now if many teams meet Zhang Sixin's team in the playoffs, they will have to rely on their home court to show off.

They are almost desperate, and if they lose, they will lose their game.

But there is no way not to do this. The Knicks really make opponents desperate on the court.

Many people think that the Eastern Conference is too weak this season, and the Knicks are also lucky.

In fact, the Knicks are just stronger than they were last season.

The gimmick was bigger last season, but the strength is indeed flawed.

This season, even if James didn't leave the Eastern Conference, it would be difficult for him to do anything against the current Knicks. He can be caught by direct defense.

For the purpose of the Hawks' offensive space, not only Millsap was fully pulled out inside, Horford also stood outside than before, trying to help the opponent with two long points.

Horford was still very upbeat, and the two-pointer at the start was relatively accurate, and the Eagles saw hope again.

After all, it is home, they are more familiar, and the Eagles also did a good job of defending Leonard in the first quarter.

However, the Eagles can always hit a three-pointer suddenly, and the Eagles have no way to gain any advantage.

They still can't gain an advantage when Leonard is restricted, which is difficult.

The Knicks' defense can also suppress opponents, and the Knicks' team offense is also very strong.

It's useless for the Eagles to just do a little bit well, even if this is a more important aspect.

The team with the best combination of ball planet and team will always be the team coached by Zhang Sixin.

The Eagles are still playing the main force when they hit this point. Even if their substitute strength is not bad, they are definitely not as strong as the main force.

A sixth man like Schroeder has no chance to play, and the Eagles are also fighting.

The Knicks still had a normal rotation, and then the Hawks found out desperately that even if their main force faced the Knicks' substitutes, they would have no advantage.

Even Jokic has a low position advantage when he comes up, and the Eagles are almost desperate.
