I am so Accurate

In the forum after the game, because of the Warriors' upset, all the fans' attention was focused on this game.

"The Lone Ranger won't really be hacked, right?"

"What a bastard! It's just that Dirk's touch is not good! With me in charge, how could he be hacked!"

"That's right, Kobe Janowitzki, if this can still be hacked, I will stand on my head and eat shit live!"

"Brother Shit-eating appears again!"

"I also think it is impossible to be hacked. I predict that it will be played until the sixth game at most. The Mavericks will win the game 4-2 at home."

"I predict 4-1. If the Mavericks lose the first game, they should take it seriously!"

"Brother Serious appears again!"

"Although I also think it is very difficult, I am looking forward to Heiba!"

"Black eight is very exciting! And if this happens, as long as our Lakers beat the Spurs, they will be sent to the Western Conference Finals, and the probability of defending the title will be greatly increased!"

"So this is a return gift from Nelson to his former disciple Sun Hao?"

"Then Sun Hao's contract expires and he switches to the Warriors? Starts the Warriors dynasty?"

"I think this script is possible!"

"I don't know if Kobe will be awarded the MVP this year. If he is awarded the MVP again, he will be blackballed..."

"The name will remain in history!"

"It is false that the club will remain famous in history, but it is true that it may be disbanded next season."

…

Fans are still talking about the Warriors' upset game, and the remaining four groups of games in the first round also started one after another on the second day.

The four games are Nets VS Bucks, Pistons VS Celtics, Nuggets VS Clippers, and Suns VS Kings.

The first game of the day attracted much attention, which has a lot to do with Bogut's previous remarks.

Fans want to see if the Bucks really do what Australia's No. 2 player said: "This is the best position."

But when the game was over, the fans were left laughing.

The Nets beat the Bucks 94-72.

Carter scored 33 points, Jefferson scored 21 points, and Kidd also had a triple-double of 13 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists.

On the Bucks side, no one scored 15 points...

One thing that is easy to overlook is that many players on this Bucks team, including Redd, have no playoff experience.

The Nets are most afraid of super insiders, but for the Bucks, Magloire and Bogut only scored 20 points and 15 rebounds together.

This kind of performance is obviously not enough in front of the Nets.

"He must be using his talent for comedy."

Fans couldn't help but smile when they commented on Bogut after the game.

From "I should be the No. 1 pick" to later "I should be the Rookie of the Year" to "We have the best playoff position."

To be honest, Bogut's performance on the court was not very good, but his off-court performance, which was like a "monkey sent to play", still made people laugh.

The game between the Pistons and the Celtics follows immediately. Like the game between the Nets and the Bucks, there is not much suspense in this one.

Anthony was in hot form, scoring 25 points in three quarters, and the Pistons also clocked in three quarters to win their first playoff victory.

Facts have proved that unlike the "free growth" of staying in the Nuggets in history, Anthony, who developed his passing skills early, is already a killer in the league.

Even after this game, fans have unlimited expectations for the Eastern Conference Finals.

There are two championship favorites in the Eastern Conference at the same time. This is the first time since Jordan retired.

In the West, the game between the Nuggets and Clippers is the focus of the day.

As many people expected, the game started with a fierce battle.

Although the Clippers don't have the absolute talent of James, they have too many people who can play.

The biggest feeling for fans watching the game is like watching James transform into Zhan Fengxian, holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji to defeat many.

The good news is that because James took more shots than at the same time in history, he was not targeted so badly, and the Nuggets have maintained a slight lead from the beginning.

The bad news is that at the end of the game, the rest of the Nuggets couldn't provide enough help for James. The Clippers' final move was to "beat the master to death with random punches" and successfully reversed the situation.

The post-game statistics perfectly explained this game: 6 Clippers scored in double figures, while the Nuggets, including James who scored 38 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, only had 3 players in double figures.

"LeBron needs help."

This is the biggest feeling that fans have after watching this game.

This is indeed the case. Neither Camby nor Martin are offensive players, Terry's performance is unstable, and JR is still very immature.

This Nuggets team seems to have a lot of people who can play, but there are very few who can really help at this time.

The last game is the Suns vs. Kings.

Everyone knew the gap in strength and status between the two teams before the game, but the result was unexpected.

The Suns beat the Kings 122-88, with a score difference of nearly 40 points.

Seven Suns players scored in double figures, fully demonstrating the ability of the offensive team.

Many people discovered at this time that the Suns team, which was "amazing" last season, has reached a "terrifying" level after two seasons of running-in.

With so many powerful teams appearing in the East and West at the same time, this year's playoffs are rarely as exciting as they have ever been.

After you sing, I will appear.

The day after the game ended, the eight teams that played on the first day began to compete in the second game of the series.

The Lakers also face the Spurs in their second game at home.

They easily won the last game and defeated the Spurs this season. Lakers fans are very optimistic about the prospects of the home team.

"There's absolutely no way the Lakers are going to lose at home."

Barkley's big mouth turned on again.

But after the game, the result was unexpected.

The Lakers lost 103 to 111!

Fans are joking that Barkley's poisonous milk attribute has been activated again, but the real problem is that no one on the Lakers can guard Duncan.

Popovich quickly made adjustments after experiencing the failure in the previous game, and arranged a large number of singles tactics for Duncan, either in the low post or at the free throw line.

For the Lakers, Walker, O'Neal, Mourning, Anderson, and Jackson tried all over the inside of the team, but no one could stop the "Stone Buddha."

Duncan scored 41 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks, god-level statistics!

Before O'Neal became fat, he kept suppressing Duncan. Popovich often had no choice but to let Duncan avoid O'Neal.

Even last season, the Lakers could still solve this problem through O'Neal and Duncan blowing each other up.

But this season O'Neal can only play 30 minutes, and it's hard to even fight each other.

In the days to come, the "Big Shark" will be at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the "Stone Buddha".

But this is also helpless. On the one hand, O'Neal has gained weight. On the other hand, O'Neal is 34 years old at the end of this season.

Even as strong as a shark, it is impossible to ignore the erosion of time.

Before the start of the training session the next day, Jackson called Sun Hao to the office, hoping that he could score more points in subsequent games.

If you can't guard Duncan, you can only expect Sun Hao to kill everyone and suppress the Spurs in a head-to-head attack. This is also a normal way of thinking.

Sun Hao also knew that this was his responsibility as the team leader, but after nodding, he had a suggestion.

"Can we try a two-tower lineup?"

"Twin Towers?"

Of course Jackson knew what Sun Hao meant by the twin towers.

The only one who has the strength to start with O'Neal and can also be called a "tower" is Mourning.

Mourning began to gradually enter into form after entering the second half of the season. His performance in the first two games of the playoffs cannot be said to be back to the top, but it was still good enough.

It's just that Mourning has always played center in his career. Let him suddenly play power forward. This is a challenge for Mourning, and it will also be a big risk for the Lakers.

"I'll try it in training."

However, Jackson still adopted Sun Hao's suggestion.

Because this may be the only way the Lakers can deal with it.

Some people may ask, now that Mourning is starting, what will the Lakers do as a substitute inside?

But this is actually not a problem, because the only thing the Lakers can't really solve is Duncan.

Not to mention defense, as long as Duncan's performance can be suppressed to a certain extent, it's not a loss.

When the training session reached full-court confrontation, Jackson directly arranged for Mourning and O'Neal to partner inside.

The advantages of the twin towers are fully demonstrated in training.

You must know that O'Neal and Mourning are both masters of blocking shots and rebounding. The defensive net formed by the interweaving of these two people makes the interior defense impregnable and becomes Los Angeles' version of a no-fly zone.

Even for Duncan, it is very difficult to break through such a defensive combination in the interior.

In addition to the defensive end, the combination of the two on the offensive end is also good.

Many people don't understand Mourning's offense, but as a 20+10 insider at his peak, Mourning's offensive skills can be said to be very comprehensive.

Although many techniques cannot be used now due to physical deterioration, some are still available, such as mid-range shooting.

In history, Mourning had a highlight moment when he hit a mid-range shot to defeat the Celtics.

Of course, the twin towers cannot be all advantages, otherwise the entire alliance would use them.

The biggest disadvantage of the Twin Towers is the overall offensive rhythm. It is almost difficult to counterattack defensively. Most of the time it will be a positional battle.

Against the Spurs, who are good at positional warfare, this is also the biggest drawback of this tactic, because it means using the opponent's shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths.

After the training was over and after weighing it, Jackson decided to give it a try.

His idea is also very simple. It is no longer possible for O'Neal to run around the court like before.

In other words, O'Neal can only play positional warfare now.

In this way, the so-called disadvantages are not necessarily disadvantages.

Two days later, the matches of other groups also ended for the second time.

The Wizards beat the Bulls 113 to 93. Tracy McGrady scored 31 points and Yao Ming also scored 27 points. The two combined for 58 points and led the team to an easy 2-0 lead;

The Pistons once again defeated the Celtics 89-75. After taking a 0-2 lead, some Boston fans shouted for head coach John Carroll to be fired. Of course, there are also some fans who can't stand Gasol's "woman" The same inside play, shouting to send him away;

The Nets defeated the Bucks 91-87, leading the same 2-0 lead. Bogut was in excellent form and scored a double-double of 17 points and 11 rebounds. After the game, he once again made bold statements in front of the media: Return to Milwaukee, That’s when the Bucks began their desperate counterattack;

The Heat defeated the Magic 93-87 and pulled back a victory, tying the score at 1-1. Howard still had the advantage inside, but the difference between him and O'Neal was also reflected in this game because of his rough offensive skills. , he seems to have no scoring explosiveness;

The Mavericks came back 116 to 101, and it was still a battle. The difference was that the Warriors missed only 4 of 20 shots from the outside, while Nowitzki on the Mavericks found some touch and scored 23 points;

The Suns defeated the Kings again 117 to 107. The Kings' offense recovered somewhat this time, but the game process was not as reflected in the score. In the garbage time of the last quarter, the Kings' courage to fight and fight was impressive;

The Nuggets defeated the Clippers 109 to 91, perhaps stimulated by the fans' "LeBron needs help". In this game, Terry and Nene on the bench stood up. The former hit 5 three-pointers and scored 21 points. , Nene also contributed an outstanding double-double of 19 points and 11 rebounds on the bench, becoming James' right-hand man;

After two games, some clues can already be seen in most of the series.

Of course, that's just most of them. The Heat and Magic, the Mavericks and the Warriors, and the Lakers and Spurs still have a lot of uncertainty in the tied groups.

It is precisely for this reason that the day when the three groups of games are held at the same time also attracts the attention of fans.

The Magic defeated the Heat 121-115 in an away game. In this game, the two sides had a fierce offensive battle. Arenas showed off his power and scored 42 points to astonish the league.

And after the game, Arenas gave himself a new nickname when facing the media: General!

The nickname comes from the fact that his initials, Gilbert Arenas, sound similar to "general".

Since Avery Johnson's nickname was "Little General," he made himself bigger.

This nickname also corresponds to the previous "Little Sun Hao", and it also means growing from childhood to adulthood.

This nickname was also popular among fans after the game.

Of course, the performance of Arenas and the Magic is more like a warm-up. What fans are really paying attention to is the Lakers-Marathon battle.

The two teams moved to San Antonio for the third game.

The attendance at the ATT Arena was full. After winning the game on the court, San Antonio fans were full of confidence.

In recent years, the Spurs have either been blocked from the Finals by the Mavericks or the Lakers.

If they can surpass the Lakers this year, they have a good chance of winning...the second championship in team history.

The next two home games will be at the Spurs' home court, and it is foreseeable that the Lakers will still be unable to guard Duncan, so the possibility is not small.

The scene entered the opening ceremony, and the starting lineup of the two teams came on stage one after another.

Spurs: Parker, Ginobili, Bowen, Duncan, Nesterovich;

Lakers: Payton, Sun Hao, Ariza, Mourning, O'Neal;

When the Lakers started the game, Popovich on the Spurs was obviously stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect Phil Jackson to play Twin Towers at all!

Twin towers are just like dual point guards. Not to mention this era, not many people used them in the 1990s. This extreme adjustment caught him off guard.

The game started quickly, and Duncan gave the Spurs a chance to attack first.

Parker took the ball to the frontcourt and lobbed the ball low to Duncan just like he did in the previous game.

Popovich did not adjust the Spurs' offensive tactics, or it can be said that he had no time to adjust in a hurry, so he could only let Duncan test the waters first.

It was O'Neal who guarded Duncan.

Jackson's arrangement of the twin towers is not a deadlock. Using Mourning to guard the basket can make full use of the latter's defensive mobility.

Duncan hit O'Neal with his back and turned around flexibly.

However, Mourning's help came quickly.

Facing double-teaming by two top insiders, Duncan turned and hooked toward the free throw line and missed the basket.

Mourning had quick eyes and quick hands to protect the defensive rebound.

In the first round, the Lakers twin towers showed excellent defensive capabilities and blocked Duncan's offense.

However, just like the training game, without Walker on the court, the two inside players couldn't keep up with the fast break. After Payton got the ball, he advanced to the frontcourt to play position.

Sun Hao ran without the ball. Although Mourning's pick-and-roll was not as good as Malone's last season, he was solid and much more effective than Walker's block.

Payton's pass was given in time, and Sun Hao also made a three-pointer.

"Uh-huh!"

0 to 3!

The Lakers come out on top!

The Spurs position continues to feed Duncan.

Duncan was prepared for Mourning's double-team this time, and when he turned around, he distributed the ball to Nesterovich inside in advance.

Nesterovich dribbled the ball and prepared for a dunk.

But the moment he pulled up to dunk, what greeted him was not an empty basket, but Mourning's block!

Mourning's fierce expression seemed to be saying: If I can't cover Duncan, why can't I cover you? !

Nesterovich's dunk was missed, the Spurs sent a sideline ball, Ginobili's outside shot hit the frame, Mourning blocked Duncan, and O'Neal grabbed the defensive rebound with a swing of his long arm.

The Spurs' two consecutive attacks at the beginning were initiated by Duncan, but both attacks returned in vain!

The fans at the scene were restless. The Lakers' twin towers were too intimidating on the defensive end!

But what worried them even more was the next round. Mourning's pick-and-roll blocked Ginobili, and Duncan made a thorough dive. Sun Hao then made a fake shot and deceived Duncan to speed up and hit the inside.

O'Neal blocked Nesterovich in the paint, and Sun Hao jumped up and smashed the ball into the basket with a tomahawk dunk.

"Bang!"

A huge muffled sound reached the ears of the fans through the loudspeaker, as if something suddenly hit their hearts.

The Lakers' twin towers guarded the interior impregnably, and Sun Hao began to score again. This is a two-pronged approach, going straight to Huanglong!

Of course, the worst thing is Popovich on the sidelines. He has been holding his chin in thought, but he has never had any good countermeasures.

Because once they give up Duncan's strong attack in the interior, the Spurs will give up their biggest advantage.

Ginobili and Parker on the outside alone are not enough to fight against the Lakers who have Sun Hao and O'Neal!

But the twin towers in front of him cannot be broken by Duncan alone.

Duncan then hit O'Neal at the free throw line. His shot inside was interfered by O'Neal and missed, but he used his quick reaction ability to tip in.

He successfully tipped in the basket, but Mourning's reaction was also very quick, causing interference and destroying his tip-in!

And before he could jump up again, O'Neal, who arrived belatedly, had already jumped up and grabbed the defensive rebound!

Two fists are no match for four hands!

His three consecutive inside attacks were in vain!

Popovich finally stood up at this time and made a new tactical gesture to the Spurs.

Sun Hao doubled up and scored inside O'Neal, and O'Neal violently abused the basket.

Although his playing time was forced to be shortened, O'Neal was still the invincible shark on the offensive end when he was on the court!

0 to 7!

The Lakers got off to a dream start.

Parker then advanced to the frontcourt, Duncan moved to the free throw line to support, and Parker came over and made a hand-to-hand shot from mid-range.

Phil Jackson, who was sitting on the sidelines watching this round, was overjoyed.

Because this means that Popovich gave up Duncan's inside attack!

Coupled with the expansion defensive tactics that the Lakers have been implementing tonight, this means that the Spurs' offense can only focus on the mid-range!

Question, the Spurs will be beaten to death by Kobe Bryant's mid-range, so can the Spurs beat the Lakers in the mid-range?

Answer: No.

Or more accurately, not right now.

The Spurs in history relied on Duncan's inside deterrence in the early stage, and later relied on "hammer tactics" to play inside and outside tactics.

What Duncan means by 20 years is that their tactics are basically based on Duncan's deterrent power inside.

Parker and Ginobili's breakthroughs are very lethal, but their mid-range is not as "killing" as Kobe.

Therefore, it is obviously unrealistic to rely on the mid-range to defeat the Lakers team of Sun Hao and O'Neal.

Facts have also proven this. Although Popovich replaced Ginobili in advance to chase points in the transitional period like last season's playoffs, it did have an effect, but it could not withstand the Lakers' twin towers in the starting period. Advantage.

At the end of the game, the Lakers defeated the Spurs 97-87, changing the score to 2-1!

Duncan played a rare sluggish game for the Spurs, scoring only 17 points and 8 rebounds.

For the Lakers, O'Neal had 17 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks, while Mourning had 9 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks.

The two towers together didn't score much, but they sent 26 rebounds and 6 blocks! And a successful defense that cannot be reflected in a large amount of data!

Sun Hao scored 42 points and 6 assists on the offensive end.

But it's also 42 points, and the fans' expressions are completely different when they see Arenas score 42 points.

There is no other reason, because in their opinion, Sun Hao's score is just a little effort.

After the game, Popovich looked very frustrated and kept shaking his head.

In sharp contrast, Sun Hao and O'Neal praised Mourning wildly at the post-game press conference.

What about "You can call me Bradley, because with Alonzo by my side I don't have to work hard to hit the inside, I just need to hook the ball", "Mourning is simply the most terrifying shot blocker on the planet. machine" and the like.

If Mourning had been at the scene, this tough guy would probably blush.

After the press conference, Sun Hao and O'Neal went to the locker room to watch the live broadcast of the game between the Warriors and Mavericks.

Not just because of the bet between the two of them, but they really care about the third game between the Warriors and Mavericks now.

Just like theirs in this game, after a big score is tied, the third game will be the game that determines the "power" of the entire series.

This is why Popovich was so frustrated after the game.

When this "potential" reaches the Warriors and Mavericks, it is likely to determine whether there will be a black eight in this year's playoffs!
