Basketball: Dayao Reopened

Chapter 343: Two-one

With Yao Ming's double lore, the Trail Blazers successfully won the first game of the second round of the playoffs, which is also a crucial game.

It can be seen from the first game that the Mavericks this season has become more resilient than last season. If they are suppressed by their momentum, there is no doubt that this will be a very important thing for the Trail Blazers. The troublesome thing, fortunately, in the end, Yao Ming saved the Trail Blazers again, just like the saves he did before.

This gives the Trail Blazers the upper hand in momentum.

As for the Mavericks, it can be seen that they failed to win the first game and were beaten twice by Yao Ming, which really dealt a blow to their mentality.

This allowed them to lose the game with little resistance in the second game of the series. Although they lost only 9 points in the end, not much, but a very important point is that the Mavericks did not lead the whole game. I have never set off a relatively large counterattack, and I have been crushed by the Trail Blazers almost all the time!

Such a "chronic death", the Mavericks' performance in the second game is undoubtedly much worse than the previous game.

Some media even bluntly said after the second game: "The spirit of the Mavericks seems to have disappeared in Yao Ming's two double lore, but I have to admit that it is really shocking! Especially this happened. In the series, it will have a huge impact on the next games of the series. Just look at this game and you will know that the huge impact has already taken place..."

There are even media predictions that this round of the series will end within 5 games. With the Mavericks in their current state, I can hardly imagine that they can drag the series beyond 5 games.

When such remarks came out, Nowitzki, who had intended to prove it with actual actions, was completely unable to sit still. He stood up and responded: "Listen, we have always been questioned. This is for us. , It’s not a big deal, and it doesn’t hinder us! We do have some problems now, but this does not mean that we are over, we will adjust, and everything has just begun!"

It's just that his remarks didn't make the media change their views. The reason is very simple. The Mavericks have never had the temperament to make a headwind. Instead, many times they are the background board for a headwind.

Therefore, Nowitzki's words really have no credibility!

However, Yao Ming definitely took Nowitzki's words to heart. Even if it was a 2-0 lead, Yao Ming did not forget that this is a championship-level team!

Since they still have fighting spirit, they can't be careful.

After winning the second game of the series, the Trail Blazers also went to Dallas in advance to eliminate the negative impact of the journey more quickly.

During this period, a series of league awards were also announced.

The "Best General Manager Award" was given to Kupchak. The deal for Kevin Garnett with the No. 1 pick in 2007 was really excellent. Although Angie's operations in the east were also amazing, considering the Lakers' more Good record, so this award finally went to Kupchak.

Said this is also the only brilliant operation of Kupchak's entire career.

Whether it is the original him or the current him, he has formally established his position in the general manager industry by virtue of this transaction.

In fact, for the general manager, this is indeed enough...

As the general manager, as long as there is an impressive and wonderful operation, it is enough to keep him alive in this industry.

The best head coach was given to Mavericks Johnson.

After all, this is the best season record in the history of the Mavericks, and it is no problem to trade this record for the best coach award.

When only winning this award, the Mavericks just lost the first game, which is a bit embarrassing.

But now Johnson is thankful that the award was issued earlier, otherwise, if he waits two days, he will be behind 0-2, and he will have no face to win the award.

Later, the "Best Defensive Player Award" was announced.

This is the same as before. Kevin Garnett won the award.

The only difference is that the original Kevin Garnett won this award with the Celtics, while the current Kevin Garnett won this award with the Lakers.

But it can be seen that no matter which team he is in, as long as Kevin Garnett concentrates on being the second-in-chief of his team and puts more energy on defense, then he can become a good helper defense player. .

With his big arms and high mobility, how could he not be a good defense player?

In fact, it's not just him, as long as he is about the same size as him, as long as he is willing to devote himself to the defensive end, then he is a good defensive player, such as Chris Bosh.

Later, he was actually a very good defensive player for the Heat. It was only because the Heat were always blown up inside that he didn't seem to have any effect on the defensive end.

Is there any way?

A good inside defense player is destined that he cannot be a good defense player. He can take both into consideration. There are certainly some, but there are not many, and every one of them is at least the best defensive player level. of!

Kevin Garnett's top defense is not good, but who made him really make a qualitative change in the Lakers' defense?

It is worth mentioning that Dwight Howard ranks second on this list, he is only 4% behind Kevin Garnett.

In fact, just to say that his defensive contribution to the Magic this season is not worse than Kevin Garnett, and even in terms of defensive efficiency, he is so much better than Kevin Garnett.

The reason why he lost, in Yao Ming's view, was because of his status in the arena.

This is where Kevin Garnett's status lays. This is the first time he has transformed into a second-in-chief. He is a full-time defensive player. For such a good job, he really needs to be rewarded for his greatness.

This is followed by Howard also had a "Best Defensive Player Award" to achieve three consecutive times. The league placed Tyson Chandler, who performed better that year and next year, behind him, and gave it to Tyson Chandler the next year. It's the same thing to fill a trophy.

Is this prize purely a prize! ?

There are so many sophistication and sophistication in it!

Kevin Garnett was not so embarrassed to win this award. When the "Best Defensive Player Award" was announced, the Lakers were leading the Kings 2-0.

The Kings "Three Musketeers" Milicic, Joe Johnson and Peja, after another season of running-in, are indeed much better than before, but compared to the Lakers, there is indeed a big gap.

If nothing else, he will be eliminated in the second round this year.

It can only be said that Milicic is good enough to run into such a wildly dancing western region.

If he were in the East, his best career in the playoffs so far could not be just the second round of the playoffs.

Not to mention entering the finals, at least the Eastern Conference finals can still be seen.

Pity!

Then the third game of the series between the Mavericks and the Trail Blazers officially began.

Back at home, the adjusted Mavericks were in good shape as soon as they came up, leading all the way to the end of the first quarter, starting the second quarter 31-28.

And after the main force came up in the second quarter, they began to attack Kwame Brown tactically at the fourth position. Both offensive and defensive ends made Kwame Brown uncomfortable.

The points difference is further expanded.

In the end, the Mavericks returned to the first game at home. They defeated the Trail Blazers 101-93. While winning the first game at home, they also rewritten the big score to 1-2!

Nowitzki was also very excited after the game. He grabbed the camera on the sidelines and said loudly: "I said we will adjust successfully. I said, we will adjust successfully. This is the beginning, this is the beginning! Guys, keep looking forward to it!"

Before the start of this game, he and the others on the Mavericks were under great pressure. Fortunately, this pressure was transformed into motivation by them, allowing them to win the game well.

1-2!

That's just the beginning now!

Yao Ming scored 37 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists in this game, and once again "try his best", but in the end they lost the game.

In addition to the opponent's belief in winning, it also has a lot to do with Kwame Brown's miserable targeting.

In this game, Kwame Brown only got 7 points and 6 rebounds. The data rarely returned to his "parallel import champion" era.

It can be seen that Kwame Brown is also very frustrated. In his opinion, the reason for the loss of this game is entirely due to him.

Yao Ming rubbed his lowered head: "It's okay, buddy. This is the playoffs. Anything will happen. The key is how we adjust!"

"And we are still ahead, aren't we?!"

But to say that, the Trail Blazers are still leading by one game, but given the Mavericks' style of getting more and more vigorous, Yao Ming did not maintain the current offensive and defensive tactics, and fight with them again.

Regardless of how much the opponent won in the third game, it has something to do with their excellent state, one thing is certain, that is, Kwame Brown has indeed been targeted very successfully.

Now that the problem is discovered, it must be resolved. Winning the game and returning to his home court, and returning to his home court with the big score 2-2, feels completely different.

For this reason, Yao Ming found Cheeks the next day: "I think I should focus more on the defensive end!"

When Cheeks heard Yao Ming's words, he knew exactly what he meant, but this might be the best way to solve Kwame Brown's being targeted.

It was only after this game that Yao Ming understood why it was so difficult for the third title of the "three consecutive championships".

In addition to external factors, internal factors also account for a large proportion. In the third game of the series, Cheeks did not make adjustments, but the current position of the Trail Blazers is not like two years ago, they do not have Karl Malone. Sitting down the court, if there were more Karl Malones, the Mavericks' play against the fourth position would never be so effective.

Looking at the current Trailblazers, the best position in the fourth position is Kwame Brown, except for Kwame Brown, and then there are rookies like Landry.

Cheeks also sent them on the court to try, but the final result was not satisfactory.

In this way, Yao Ming can only defend Nowitzki by himself.

More responsibility for the offense is given to Vince Carter and Chris Paul.

Of course, the good news is that these two guys can definitely hold up the offensive end of the Trail Blazers.

"Come on, guys, let's return to Portland with a 3-1 score!"

After the game officially began, the changes of the Trail Blazers really made the Mavericks short-term uncomfortable, especially Nowitzki, facing Yao Ming's defense, he did not move at all.

It also made his offense completely unable to play inside.

Any guy, when everyone knows that he is going to shoot, his efficiency will definitely decrease. If he is more efficient, it must be broken.

Nowitzki is obviously not a hanger. Under Yao Ming's target, his efficiency of 5 of 6 shots in the first quarter of the last game became 4 of 8 shots in the first quarter. The efficiency is not bad, but more. His shots only resulted in similar points, which means he took longer.

During this time, Vince Carter and Chris Paul had already scored more points.

With a more fierce offense, the Trail Blazers successfully led the end of the first quarter.

32 to 27, 5 points ahead.

This lead is not actually an advantage, so the Trailblazers did not even celebrate at the end of the first quarter, and Cheeks directly began the change in the second quarter.

The biggest difference between the playoffs and the regular season is that ~www.readwn.com~ matches are the same opponent, which will give both sides a time to understand the opposing team. Now it has reached the fourth in the series. A game, halfway through the series, by this time, the two sides already know each other very well, if they still play regular tactics, they will only be targeted.

In the regular season, a tactic may be used from the first quarter to the fourth.

But in the playoffs, a tactic takes a half quarter, and at most one quarter can be changed immediately. All you need is to catch your opponent by surprise.

Therefore, even if the Trail Blazers are the leading side, Cheeks did not hesitate to change his style of play. Chris Paul and Vince Carter attacked very well in the first quarter, and of course it is Yao Ming’s turn to attack. Up.

After all, the Trail Blazers played so well on the outside, and the Mavericks had no reason not to restrict the outside in the second quarter and strengthen the outside defense.

Cheeks guessed very accurately. When the main players were on the court in the second quarter, the Mavericks really strengthened their defense of the outside line. Unfortunately, at this time, the Trail Blazers have changed their way of playing and started playing inside.

Nowitzki did not expect that Yao Ming, who only shot twice in the first quarter, hit him three times in a row in the second quarter.

It's the kind of melee that he doesn't play at the basket.

He made him sore all over.

It's probably not easy to get up tomorrow morning.

The effect of being caught off guard is naturally very good. Yao Ming scored 3 consecutively, and the Trail Blazers suddenly opened the point difference to more than 8 points.
