Build a Dream Dynasty

The Nets easily won six consecutive victories in the playoffs. Only they and the Jazz have achieved this in the league. In terms of the media, they didn't even make a big deal about it, because it is not surprising that the Nets have achieved such results, they are too strong.

The prediction given by most experts before this round of the series is 4:1. They expect the Cavaliers to win at least one game by virtue of their home court advantage. However, it seems that this is not easy. Judging from the first two games, the Cavaliers are still very poor. Apart from Irving, only Wiggins is barely half of the ball-holding point, but he played against Leon. Nader has always been a tragedy. The inside TT can be said to be the best player in the league in big defense and small defense, but even so, the restrictions on the offensive ability of the Eight Sage Kings are still too obvious.

In Jiang Mingliang's view, the gap between the two teams is even bigger than what the media sees. The Nets have really faced a test and won the Eastern Conference Finals. The 76ers may be the team that can really bring an impact to the Nets. Zhan teamed up, and the firepower of the two lasted for 48 minutes to continue to put pressure on the Nets. Gasol and Tyreke Evans also had good strength on the offensive end. In addition, Beverly, Grant, Richard Players like De Jefferson can also be used. This is a team with outstanding advantages.

But what Jiang Mingliang didn't expect was that the 76ers stumbled in front of the Bucks. At the home court of the 76ers, Paul completed a super-difficult fadeaway jump shot, which suddenly swollen the faces of many fans who regarded the "Bucks" as a pseudo-strong team.

In this game, the Bucks used their lives, and Middleton's nerve knife on the offensive end shined brilliantly. He made 13 of 18 shots in the game, including 7 of 9 three-pointers. He scored 39 points with super high efficiency. On the offensive end, James, who greatly restrained the 76ers, made James fall into a siege on both ends of the offense and defense, and Antetokounmpo was the god of the team's defense in this game, with 17 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocked shots. It should not be exaggerated, but in this game, except for James and Gasol, the shooting percentages of the other players of the 76ers have dropped a lot. The entire Bucks team has long-armed and long-legged players at various positions. If the Nets face this kind of Spider-Man team, the pass-and-cut tactics are not very easy to play, and the offensive end will still be difficult.

Of course, there are no weak teams in the Eastern Conference finals. Besides, in the past three to four years, the Nets have always been regarded as the strongest team in the league. They have been put under the microscope for research, and they have encountered more and more opponents. Trouble is inevitable.

. . . . . .

After returning to the home court, Blatt fine-tuned the team's starting lineup, and Crawford replaced Redick as the team's starting shooting guard. Blatt hopes that Crawford's ball-handling and scoring ability can relieve the pressure on Irving. This adjustment is a bit risky. After all, with this approach, the team only has Jack as an offensive point on the bench, and the main players bear the burden. More stress. But Blatter has no choice. Judging from the gap shown in the first two games, if some adjustments are not made, even with the addition of home court advantage, the Cavaliers will undoubtedly die.

But what people didn't expect was that the Nets also fine-tuned the starting lineup. Royce O'Neal replaced Smith as the starting shooting guard. Or to put it another way, JR Smith was placed in a sixth man position that is more suitable for him.

Usually the dominant team will not take the initiative to change, but the Nets are different. Stevens has already controlled the team very smoothly. Any comments will be appreciated.

What's more, JR's summer contract still needs the blessing of this year's playoffs!

Royce O'Neal faced Irving. Originally, Curry planned to defend Redick to reduce his defensive burden. Now he is facing Crawford, which is actually okay. Crawford is better than Redick on the defensive end. Return the food.

Crawford missed a layup with a difficult 360-degree turn in the opening game. This goal is very beautiful, but no matter how beautiful it is, it is only two points. As a coach, Blatter actually doesn't want players to play like this in key games.

Curry is still very resolute on the offensive end, but in this game, the referee acquiesced that the Cavaliers moved a little more when defending Curry, putting pressure on Curry, and Curry only hit one goal in the first four shots. The Nets' opening offense was obviously affected by the penalty scale.

Commentators who don't understand the ball will attribute the reason to O'Neal's starting, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the referee is the key to changing the direction of the game. Fortunately, most of the players on the Nets are very mature. They play in a strong team. They are used to this kind of bias and know how to adjust their mentality to deal with it.

Irving and Crawford are good. Both of them are players who don't eat what they get. I would rather miss the ball coquettishly than lean up shamelessly and get a free throw. This is also the reason why the two are extremely popular among fans. You know, Nike gave Irving a signature shoe earlier than George, and this treatment is not ordinary.

The Nets approached the score through Leonard's strong play and Porzingis made two consecutive shots. Immediately after JR Smith came on the field as the sixth man, he also quickly entered the state. In the first quarter of the game, the Nets took 28:27 leading the Cavaliers by 1 point.

In the second quarter of the game, Stevens offered a small lineup, Dinwiddie, JR Smith, Carter, Covington, and Dreaming Green. And Blatter also responded with a small lineup. TT shined in the matchup at this stage. Not only did he send out consecutive defensive nails in the interior, but also on the subsequent offensive end, using his height and jumping advantage, he grabbed consecutive offensive rebounds and put in baskets. Score.

After a wave of 14:4 attacks, the Cavaliers completely reversed the situation of the game, and the home fans fell into a frenzy. This was an excitement that had been suppressed for a long time.

God knows how humiliating it is to be crushed in one quarter after leading by 23 points!

After failing to adjust the formation, Stevens replaced Porzingis. This talented insider is an artifact in the hands of Stevens to clean up the small lineup.

He has a height of 221, big arms and long legs, and his running and jumping ability is absolutely top-notch among the same height. Finally, he also has quite good shooting ability. As soon as he played, the Nets had an absolute advantage in interior defense and rebounding without losing speed and space on the court.

The past few minutes can be regarded as the highlight of the Cavaliers' round of the series, and as long as the Nets want to, they can play this kind of small climax at any time. This is the horror of this team.

Before the end of halftime, the Cavaliers' advantage in a round of highlights was only 1 point left!

In the second half of the game, the Nets still established a lead in the second half of the third quarter. The core competitiveness of the team's shine in the third quarter is still the physical advantage brought by a strong lineup. Especially Crawford at the second position, he couldn't keep up with Curry at all on the defensive end. He was thrown away by Curry's running off the ball many times and shot easily. It is even more tragic that Adams went up to defend Curry.

With a 15-point margin in a single quarter and a 14-point lead, the Nets played steadily in the fourth quarter without giving the Cavaliers any chance to close the score, and finally defeated the Cavaliers 116:103 in an away game, suppressing their opponents. Edge of elimination.

The tide is gone! Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Cavaliers have been completely driven into the abyss, and the strength gap between the two teams makes it almost impossible for Cavaliers supporters to see hope. Even within the Cavaliers, there were discordant voices again, and Irving was at odds with head coach Blatter again!

Thinking about it, Jerry West liked Irving very much. He even sent Jiang Mingliang to trade George for Irving. Looking at it now, perhaps Irving's ability is worthy of West's optimism for him, but his character is definitely a ticking time bomb for the team. A small group in the locker room, conflict with you today, conflict with him tomorrow, is definitely full of side effects on the team's team building!

In comparison, on the 76ers side, although the conflict between James and Harden is well known, no matter on the field or in the locker room, the disturbance is much smaller. Except that the management must choose one of the two during the offseason, there is basically no sign of other signs. On the court, the two can also complete various cooperation tacitly.

But the 76ers still lost the third game against the Bucks. The reason is very simple. The root of the conflict between James and Harden is the conflict between the two players.

It is true that both of them belong to the ball-holding big core play style with extremely high basketball IQ, but it is best to add an attributive in front, "Both belong to the ball-holding big core play style with poor running ability without the ball." For a team, when one person plays and four people watch, the team's offense will definitely be very constipated, and it seems to be very frustrated. This is the case with the 76ers now. On the defensive end, Harden can't keep an eye on the outside players who are actively running without the ball on the opposite side. He can only use the tonnage to carry the fourth or even the fifth position. up.

In the West, whether it is the Clippers or the Jazz, they have encountered sniper attacks from their respective opponents. In Durant's return to Goose City, Westbrook blasted down Chamberlain's data of 46+15+17, bringing The team beat the Clippers, and in the game, the thunder and junior's exchange of blocks and fouls after fouls also became the key points of media hype. Aldridge overwhelmed the Jazz on the inside and scored 36+14 against Gobert, leading the team to victory and ending the opponent's seven-game winning streak in the playoffs.

With the exception of the Nets, it seems that all the matchups are interesting. . . . . . .
