The strongest basket king

Chapter 550

In the first round of the playoffs, the Eagles played against the Celtics in the third game, and the Celtics pulled back a game at home.

The Celtics are also a team with a relatively good team play, but this time they relied on their star play. Thomas Jr. scored 42 points and led the team to a strong win.

It's hard to imagine that Thomas Jr., who is of ordinary height, would score such a high score.

This game also saw the limitations of the Eagles, they couldn't restrain the powerful scorers.

But this situation is not the norm in this group of games. It is impossible for Thomas Jr. to play like this every game. If the Celtics want to come back, they must have new highlights.

In the game between the Heat and the Hornets, the Hornets also pulled back a round at home.

The Heat, which had been relatively smooth in the previous two games, had troubles on the offensive end this time. It can be said that the Hornets won the victory by relying on their resilient defense.

But in fact, the Heat's lineup still has some advantages.

In the third game between the Thunder and the Clippers, the Thunder never gave the Clippers any chance.

From the first quarter, it was a strong suppression. Durant and Westbrook were completely unrestricted, while Ibaka restricted Griffin very well.

Griffin, who came back just before the start of the playoffs, was a bit weak after all.

The Clippers were originally a weak offensive type at critical moments, and it was difficult for the Thunder to keep up with their defense.

This game let everyone see clearly the gap between the two teams, or they are relatively stable against the weaker teams, so the records are similar, but there is really a gap in everyone's strength.

The Thunder Shuang Shao is the stronger type among the All-Stars. Paul and Griffin on the Clippers are more like the type of reputation than strength, or they are not the type of attacking tough.

The fourth game of the first round then began, and the Nuggets also had an extra day off this time.

Everyone takes turns in the schedule, which is relatively fair. The gaps are made. If the Nuggets sweep their opponents, they will definitely have more time to adjust than other teams.

This time in the West, the Spurs and the Trail Blazers fought first. After losing one game, the Spurs' defense became more targeted. Lillard and McCrum's level of oppressive defense was somewhat reduced.

On the Spurs side, Leonard showed the strength of a strong All-Star, slammed Aminu, and abruptly helped the team grab the match point.

The Blazers are too dependent on the feel of the two guns, as long as they feel unstable, they will be finished.

Although the Blazers are stronger than the Mavericks and Grizzlies, they will not have any chance against the Spurs.

The Eastern Raptors' match against the Pacers was indeed extremely fierce. This time, the Pacers took the initiative to adjust, put Turner on the starting lineup to play the Twin Towers, and defensively pushed the Raptors out and finally won the victory.

In this way, their series is 2:2, and it is even more unclear who can advance to the next round.

If this should not happen according to the regular season record, it can only be said that the two cores of the Raptors' backcourt are too unstable in the playoffs.

In fact, many teams in the backcourt double gun mode have instability problems, because many backcourt double guns rely on the touch to make money, and the confrontation ability is not strong enough.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, the Warriors are extremely exaggerated. Curry and Clay are an upgraded version of the backcourt double gun mode. It can be said that the backcourt has double guns.

The time came to April 4, and the fourth game between the Nuggets and the Grizzlies also began.

Xiang Chu was always ruthless before the game, and the reporters were very satisfied when they heard his sweeping declaration.

Obviously he said this every time, but the media is willing to report, so whether there is something new is not important, the key is whether it can be done, whether it is strong enough.

The Grizzlies have now completely let go, and they don't play any strong inside shots.

They played like this, but their hit rate was much better, but it was not enough to win.

Xiang Chu still directs his teammates to defend on the field. When attacking, a defender is suitable for directing. When defending, a big center like him can take over the overall situation.

After the Grizzlies paid more attention to offense, Gallinari also played completely.

Although the Grizzlies have lost miserably in these games, the confrontation is not fake. Gallinari has also confirmed his physical condition through the game, and it is completely fine to continue playing.

The Nuggets maintained a solid lead, but there was a small problem during the rotation period.

Stephenson broke out, no matter how he played, he helped the team catch up with the score alone.

Grizzlies coach Joe Geer also gave birth to a little surprise, combining him with the main lineup.

However, after the Nuggets' defense improved, Stephenson did not have the chicness of the rotation period, and the Nuggets were slightly relieved.

It's nothing to lose a game, but it will break the overall arrangement, so it's easier to sweep.

Stephenson is in good form, but he is a breakthrough player. Against the Nuggets' main lineup, Xiang Chu will selectively teach him to be a man, but Carter feels better as he plays, and his shooting percentage from outside the three-point line is relatively high.

With the relaxed mentality of the Grizzlies players, there was not much difference between the two sides in the first half.

During the intermission, George Karl was a little dissatisfied and gave the players a good training. In the third quarter, the Nuggets' offense became stronger, and the Grizzlies were completely unstoppable.

Even if they maintain a certain amount of explosiveness on the offensive end, it is meaningless at the expense of defense.

The main reason is that the two towers exerted their strength, and they overwhelmed the opponent with all the rebounds, which immediately expanded the lead to double digits.

After the Grizzlies played relaxed, it didn't matter so fast at all. From hopelessness to hope, and then to shattered hopes, Coach Jogel felt that his heart couldn't bear it.

But things ended quickly. The Nuggets continued to advance in the final quarter, and the second half became garbage time.

The Nuggets also achieved it again, sweeping the fastest in the playoffs.

After the game, Grizzlies coach Joerger burst into tears on the spot, "I can't tell you how proud I am of this group of players. I'm proud of every guy in that locker room. This season is too difficult, too difficult gone."

"They could have given up, yes, they could have given up, not made the playoffs," Joerger said, "but they didn't. Every night, they were playing hard and fighting like crazy. "

George Karl also expressed sympathy and respect for the Grizzlies. He said: "It is not fair for us to win. The Grizzlies used all the players they could play and played the best performance. They are really tough."

The Grizzlies lost two cores. This may be the most disparate matchup in the history of the league playoffs. It is their limit to be able to play like this.

Xiang Chu swept the opponent mercilessly, but also expressed his admiration for the Grizzlies after the game, "Their physical confrontation is very strong, which is a good preparation for our next battle. It is always difficult to end the series. We gave it our all in the first half, but we dominated the third and fourth quarters and we all deserved the playoffs."
