Chapter 761 Tie-break and crushing
This is another shocking battle.
The two teams fought fiercely for seven games, and it was another tiebreaker. The Celtics advanced with difficulty.
The Celtics advanced, and many people attributed the reason to the explosion of the Celtics' substitutes Smart and Kerinick, especially Kerinick's 26 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.This data, for a role player, is an incredible performance.
But in fact, this is completely wrong.
In this round of the series, Al Horford averaged 16.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game, which seems average.
But his shooting rate reached 67%. This shooting rate ranks first among all players who score more than 5 points in the two teams, and Al Horford is on the outside most of the time, and there are 5.1 assists in it.
It can be seen how important Al Horford is in the Celtics tactics.
The reason the Celtics really win is because of Al Horford.
But the people who eat melons will never see it.
The fans who watched the two tiebreakers were very excited. Every game was very classic and exciting in the playoffs.
It looks like people's blood is boiling.
But the other two games were easier.
The Mavericks beat the Clippers again.The Clippers have a good lineup, but the core three giants are all suppressed.
Qin Yang suppressed Paul, Nurkic and Griffin exchanged, and Gobert suppressed Jordan.
But ... the Mavericks have Kevin Durant.
In this round of the series, Griffin was the worst scolded.
The legendary superstar, Griffin, was actually defended by Nurkic. During the time against Nurkic, Griffin's efficiency was very low, and he did not perform well on both offense and defense.
Well, I won't say much about Griffin's defense, but it's a pit if it doesn't play out on the offensive end.
In the four games, each game entered garbage time in three quarters, and even the Mavericks didn't use the shark-slashing tactic against Jordan because it was really unnecessary.Paul was beaten in the dark.
At the end of each game, Paul didn't say much.
Paul has been disappointed with the Clippers.
The same goes for the Cavaliers and Raptors games in the East.
Needless to say, James' dominance over the Eastern Conference. In this round of the series, James averaged 34 points, 8.3 rebounds and 11.2 assists per game.
This statistic... the fans are not shocked.
But comparing this data with others, it is really crushing.
Not to mention anything else, James is really strong.
Well, there are also factors of stats, but James led the team to a 4-0 sweep, this is strength determines everything.
In the second round of the playoffs, the east and west were surprisingly similar.
A tiebreaker, a 4-0 sweep.
In the East and West finals, the Cavaliers played against the Celtics, and the Mavericks played against the Warriors.
This matchup is also very interesting.
Both teams with the best records in the East and West advanced to the East and West Finals.
Pity me, Paul, for not touching the floor of the Western Conference Finals.
As soon as the opponents in the Eastern and Western Conference finals came out, they were blown up by the media.
"James and Irving once again gathered in the Eastern Conference finals, this time it is a battle of opponents!"
"The three best three-point shooters in the NBA gather in the Western Conference Finals. This is a game where shooting decides the winner."
……
The Cavaliers never imagined that the Celtics would become stronger so quickly, and this season they even entered the Eastern Conference Finals and played against the Cavaliers.
If they knew this was the result, the Cavaliers would not have made this deal.
If Kelly Irving leads the team to defeat the Cavaliers, then the fun will be great.
But this probability is not great.
James has not yet entered the Eastern Conference Finals, and the pressure is already high.
On May 5, the Mavericks played against the Warriors at home.
Even though he was an opponent, Qin Yang still went to greet his opponent when he was warming up before the game.No unpleasantness happened because of this.
In fact, Qin Yang has a very good relationship with many people in the Warriors.
Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Iguodala and more.
Stephen Curry was very excited and in good condition. When he greeted Qin Yang, he said bluntly: "Bruce, be careful in this game, I feel good!"
Qin Yang replied:
"I am also in good condition, you are welcome to challenge me."
At the beginning of the game, Curry was really in good shape.
Defending Curry was James Ennis, who followed closely and interfered with shooting. The defensive scale was already in place, but it was useless.
When Curry throws it up, he can really get in anything.
In order to interrupt Curry's rhythm, the Mavericks called two timeouts in the first quarter, but it was useless. Curry scored 14 points and 4 assists in a single quarter, leading the team to the lead.
Curry going crazy is scary.
Qin Yang's touch is average, and the defensive end has assisted many times, but the effect is not obvious.
On the contrary, Durant stood up at a critical moment and hit an inside offensive shot to stabilize the point difference. The fierce battle between the two teams had no effect.
In the second quarter, during the substitute time, the team's point difference slowly narrowed.
The Warriors' bench lineup doesn't work.
In each game, Curry and Klay Thompson's playing time will be controlled within 10 minutes, which is a very appropriate time.
If you play for too long, you cannot guarantee your state.
The same goes for this game.
The Warriors can't use the bench, and Iguodala alone can't lead the team to win, not to mention Iguodala defending Qin Yang in the first quarter, he is too tired.
Five minutes into the second quarter, the point difference widened to 5 points.
PJ Tucker, Livingston played well.
Curry had no choice but to play again.
Curry played and chased the score with his fiery touch. Qin Yang also played soon after Curry played.Although it doesn't feel good, Qin Yang can still play.
Curry's defense is too weak. When Qin Yang beats Curry, he relies on his strength to directly push horizontally. When he gets to the basket, he either shoots or attracts the defense.
Curry can't defend, the gap between strength and height is too big.
When attacking at close range, even if Qin Yang's hand feeling is not good, his hit rate is very high.
The others were still covering and cooperating. Qin Yang assisted his teammates and firmly suppressed the Warriors.
By the start of the third quarter, the Warriors still had no chance.
At this time, it is usually the time of Splash Brothers.
But Curry played for a long time and lacked physical strength. Although Klay Thompson played well, he couldn't open the score. Kevin Durant showed his role at this time.
Facing the Warriors' offense, when the point difference gradually widened, Durant went directly to the basket to be strong, and the Warriors had nothing to do.
Durant is an unsolvable killer in the face of the five small lineups of death.
In the third quarter, the point difference still did not widen.
When Qin Yang played again in the fourth quarter, the Mavericks played hard at home and extinguished the Splash Brothers' offense. In normal games, they were almost firmly suppressed.
Victory was predictable from the start of the game to the end.
