I am so Accurate

Judging from the move of trading Sun Hao for Kobe after failing to defend the title, the Mavericks management is no longer as patient as before.

Coupled with the Celtics management in the East who is ready to make moves, this summer is bound to be a little unusual.

Fans were still excited about the "Black Eight Miracle", and the final tie-break showdown of the first round officially kicked off the next day.

Unlike yesterday, which was completely one-sided until the end, the Nuggets and Clippers played as intensely as a tiebreaker should.

The two teams were locked in a stalemate from the beginning until the final moment.

In the last 10 seconds before the end, the two teams were tied, and the Nuggets had the last chance to attack.

James broke through the double team and went to the basket, and then chose to distribute the ball.

Nene caught the ball near the baseline and hit a mid-range jumper at the buzzer.

The ball goes in and the whistle blows.

The Nuggets defeated the Clippers and advanced to the second round of the playoffs!

The Pepsi Center in Denver was in a state of uproar.

James raised his head and shouted excitedly.

The feeling of losing your virginity in the first round of the playoffs is so exciting.

In this way, the first round games are all over, and the semifinals matchups in the Western Conference are also announced.

Lakers VS Warriors, Suns VS Nuggets.

The two favorite teams, the Spurs and Mavericks, were eliminated in the first round. This result surprised many people.

But this is the wonderful thing about the NBA.

"where.amazing.happens."

This advertising slogan is very accurate.

The showdown between the East and West semifinals will officially begin one day later, and at this time, the league announced the ownership of the second batch of season awards.

Sixth Man of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year.

The Sixth Man of the Year award went to Mike Miller of the Grizzlies.

Miller was sent to Memphis before McGrady, and in theory he is more than enough to be a starter with his ability.

But the Grizzlies previously selected Battier, and together with former All-Star Eddie Jones, he has always played as a substitute.

Substituted in 65 of 74 games, averaging 30 minutes per game, 13.4 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists. His performance was quite good.

The Defensive Player of the Year award went to Ben Wallace.

This is the fourth time in five years that Wallace has received the honor.

If it weren't for Artest's "sideways intervention" in the middle, Ben would have completed the unprecedented feat of five consecutive DPOYs!

But if there is no if, it can be called a severing sword, and he didn't even have three consecutive strikes, which is a bit embarrassing.

From this perspective, Artest "won" between the two protagonists in the Palace of Auburn Hills.

The results of the Rookie of the Year selection came out, and Paul of the Bulls received 51%, with more than half of the votes being elected without any suspense!

DeLong ranked second in the voting, receiving 28% of the vote.

It is worth mentioning that Bogut, who previously said that he should win the Rookie of the Year, only received 7% of the votes, which was not as good as Paul's teammate Granger.

In terms of pure performance, Bogut is better than Granger, who averaged only 7.9 points per game this season.

But the results of this vote were cast by the media. It can only be said that Bogut's conclusions have aroused the disgust of many media.

The fans are still discussing the selection results. The Eastern Conference semifinals have already started, and the fans feel like they are overwhelmed.

And this is why the league announces the awards in batches in the middle of the series.

Being overwhelmed will keep your attention on the NBA.

In history, in order to save trouble and make money, Adam Mosaic threw all the awards until the end of the season and presented them together like a Hollywood awards ceremony.

As a result, the tiger was not the anti-dog, and while it was criticized by fans, it also caused the fans to lose the sense of expectation and discussion.

In the East, the game between the Wizards and the Magic started first.

Both Tracy McGrady and Arenas faced their former teams. The two teams had a sweep experience last year and had many grievances.

The two sides fought extremely fiercely from the beginning of the game.

Arenas brought his fiery form from the first round to the second round, hitting consecutive three-pointers from outside in the opening game, giving people a taste of the heroic demeanor of "little Sun Hao in the past, now a great general".

However, Dwight Howard, who was always the younger brother in front of Yao Ming, did not have the power to dominate the basket in the first round, and he had no power to fight back against Yao Ming.

"Eat, sleep, and fight World of Warcraft" is much more realistic than Deron's joke about beating Paul.

In this era where the center is king, without O'Neal, Sun Hao can only rely on high scores to win. Arenas' scoring explosiveness is not as good as Sun Hao's, and he is facing a team like the Wizards, which is the favorite to win the championship, and it is obviously difficult to win alone.

This is also the reason why the Mavericks team of Sun Hao, Dirk Nowitzki and Bodi Loga won the championship in the 2002-03 season and is still talked about by fans, because it was really special.

In the end, the Wizards steadily defeated the Magic 97-83 and won their first victory in the Eastern Conference Finals.

There was not much suspense about the outcome of the game, but the fans talked a lot after the game, and Howard seemed to be the focus of heated discussion.

"26 points, 12 rebounds, 13 points and 6 rebounds, guess who is the data of the Wizards and the Magic respectively."

"Don't call Howard 'Warcraft', call him 'Devil', the devil in the hearts of Orlando fans!"

"To be honest, I feel that there is really a big difference between Howard and O'Neal. This guy's interior offensive skills are not as good as mine!"

"Why don't you go too far? I think I'm still a little bit better than you, but maybe only a little bit."

"That's not what you said about the Heat! You also said that Howard is the strongest center after O'Neal! Yesterday, Xiao Tiantian, today Mrs. Niu?"

"Actually, I think it's not that Howard is weak, but that Yao is too strong...I even have the illusion that Shaq is no longer Yao's opponent."

"It's still 50-50, but Shaq is already a little out of his depth this season. In another season at most, Yao will be the number one center in the league!"

"Michael really knows football. It was really amazing that he chose Yao instead of Kwame Brown!"

"Didn't you say that Sun suggested that he choose it?"

"It doesn't matter who picked him, as a Wizards fan, it's a pleasure to be a Wizards fan. He has a gang leader before him and Yao Mai behind him. He's living a happy life!"

"Yao Shark, Sun Mai, I really hope the Wizards and Lakers meet in the finals! I won't be able to let go for a minute!"

"Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered next year's World Championships. Yao and Sun are on the same team..."

"The Chinese team is the Olympic champion. I'm afraid not many countries can withstand these twins. There are also Yi and Wang. By the way, what team will our country send?"

"I haven't heard the news yet, and I don't know what the Basketball Association's arrangements are, but according to past traditions, we will not field the strongest lineup in the World Championships."

"Do you mean let it go? It seems that no one can stop the Chinese men's basketball team from winning the World Championships. The Olympic Games plus the World Championships, the rise of a great country!"

"Don't be ridiculous. When we field the strongest team in the 2008 Olympics, the Chinese and Spanish teams will be chicken feed."

"But in 2008 it will be at home in China, so it will definitely be a bloody battle."

…

Fans are having fun talking about it from Tiannan to Haibei.

But while they were discussing, another game in the Eastern Conference started immediately afterwards.

Unlike the Wizards and Magic, who were one-sided, the Pistons and Nets were evenly matched.

This Nets team has obvious advantages and disadvantages throughout the season. They are strong on the outside and weak on the inside. They can beat any team that doesn't encounter a super inside line.

The two teams fought until the final moment. Anthony showed his big heart and hit key goals continuously to help the team successfully win the game.

This performance also made fans' evaluation of the 03 generation skyrocket.

James, Anthony, Wade, Yi Jianlian, and Hinrich who have appeared in the playoffs have all performed well. Even if they did not come, Bosh, Milicic, Kaman and others have also performed well this season.

The platinum generation is worthy of its name.

After the two games in the Eastern Conference are played, the Western Conference will be played on the second day.

The game between the Lakers and Warriors will start first.

During the training session on game day, the Lakers players were extremely relaxed.

You must know that before the playoffs begin, almost everyone is ready to play the Mavericks in the second round.

Considering the Mavericks' outstanding performance in the regular season, it can even be said that most people are ready for a tough battle in the semifinals.

As a result, the Mavericks are now hacked, and the person they want to fight directly becomes the Warriors.

That kind of happiness cannot be expressed in words.

"Say thank you to Don for me."

Walker ran directly to Sun Hao and shouted.

Sun Hao smiled and shook his head.

He didn't feel that his teammates underestimated the enemy.

Phil Jackson is not Johnson, and the Lakers have O'Neal. The semifinals will definitely be a good experience for them now.

Even O'Neal was smiling.

The mentality of the big shark is actually easy to understand. When you can hide, you will definitely want to hide, but if you can't hide, you can only...enjoy the game.

To be honest, he has never played against such a weak team in the playoffs in the past few years.

The players have a relaxed mentality, but the head coach cannot relax.

Phil Jackson still takes the game very seriously.

Just like the previous analysis of how to beat a run-and-gun team, Jackson chose, or in other words, he could only choose the first method, which is to play position and suppress the rhythm.

Of course, the Mavericks' black eight experience does not have much reference significance for them, because the styles of the two teams are completely different.

"Don't underestimate your opponent."

This is what Jackson said most during training.

He also feels that the game will go smoothly, but what he needs most is for the players to maintain a focused attitude.

The next night, the Staples Center was packed.

There are two types of games, one is the kind that can be predictably intense, and the blood will be pumping before the game even starts.

The other type is one where a big victory can be predicted, and the game will make people inexplicably excited.

Everyone has a trembling heart in their body.

However, during the warm-up before the game, what happened on the scene made people think a lot.

Sun Hao and Nelson had not seen each other for a long time. They chatted for a long time in the midfield and even hugged when they separated.

This made those fans who said they were walking before the game feel more and more aware of something.

After the pre-match warm-up, the starting lineups of the two teams were announced one after another.

For the Lakers, Payton, Sun Hao, Ariza, Walker, O'Neal.

Jackson returned to his regular lineup for the second half of the season.

For the Warriors, Baron Davis, Jason Richardson, Matt Barnes, Jamison, Biedrins.

Compared to the Lakers, it can be said that the Warriors' lineup has undergone very big changes.

This adjustment highlights Nelson's bold coaching style of "mad scientist" and also shows that the Warriors' goal this season is not just a black eight.

Some people would say that passing "Black Eight" is enough!

However, human desires are endless.

And the last time the Knicks completed the "Black Eight" in history, they reached the finals.

So it's completely normal for the Warriors to have expectations.

The game started immediately, and the starting lineup of the two teams came on stage one after another.

Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, O'Neal easily moved the ball back to the Lakers half, officially kicking off the Western Conference semifinals.

The Lakers' first attack changed their style of play in the first round. Payton directly fed the ball to O'Neal in the inside position.

O'Neal didn't hesitate at all after catching the ball and leaned on Biedrins to shoot a hook.

Sun Hao is no stranger to Biedrins. This is an absolutely unique insider developed by Nelson in history, even more different than Stoudemire.

He is 2.11 meters tall, has a lean body, and has excellent jumping. He is somewhat similar to Anderson, so he is also known as "the fighter among white people."

But he has better flexibility and stronger physical confrontation than Anderson, which allows him to achieve more than Anderson in history.

Just like the first ball, he interfered with O'Neal's offense with a confrontation that was beyond O'Neal's expectations, and then...

It's of no use.

The moment O'Neal took the shot, he knew that he would not score. He had already taken the second shot in advance and completed the tip-in over Biedrins' head.

Biedrins interfered with the first blow, but was completely helpless with the second.

O'Neal's weight was now completely pressing on him, and he was just dreaming when he thought about it.

The Lakers came out on top.

When we return to the defensive end, the Lakers' defense is also very interesting. O'Neal guards the basket and everyone else stretches out.

This is a bit like defending the Spurs before, and then the Warriors suddenly seemed like they couldn't play.

Three-pointers are limited, and there is O'Neal under the basket. This forces them to shoot mid-range shots!

But their mid-range is not as good as the Spurs...

"The defensive strategy of the Lakers makes Avery Johnson look like a retard to me."

Buckley's big mouth didn't hold back and he spoke directly.

You know, Johnson didn't even make such an attempt in the first round.

Although they don't have O'Neal, Diop is not bad in terms of defense at the basket.

Davis finally drove to the basket, obviously trying to draw a foul.

But O'Neal was not fooled. Instead, he seized the opportunity and gave Davis a slap in the face.

With this offense and defense, the Lakers fans at the scene were already excited.

In the first round, the Warriors mostly restrained the Mavericks, but in the second round, the Lakers defeated the Warriors!

And the comment about "Whether O'Neal can play in the small ball era" can really finalize the conclusion.

With this kind of inside pressure, those small ball teams are not thinking about how to speed up at all, but to protect their fragile penalty area!

Because you can't guard the inside, you can't talk about defensive counterattacks. Just relying on positioning and outside shooting to throw three-pointers will definitely not kill anyone.

This is also the biggest difference between the Warriors under Cole and the Warriors under Nelson in history.

Between these two teams, there is Mark Jackson, the founder of the Warriors dynasty. He implanted the defensive concept into the Warriors and transformed the Warriors.

The game continues on the field.

On the defensive end, O'Neal defended Richardson's attack to the basket again, giving him a sense of "one shark is the barrier, and ten thousand fish can't escape".

And after O'Neal got the rebound, the Lakers counterattacked and the Warriors counterattacked. Sun Hao jumped over the defense and dunked on a fast break to ignite the audience.

After the Warriors finally relied on Richardson's off-ball mid-range to break the scoring drought.

Looking back, O'Neal turned inside and directly dodged Biedrins, and hit a "shark out of the cage" two-handed dunk, which made the entire basket tremble!

Such rounds of offense and defense continued in the game, and Nelson's adjustments had little effect.

As a result, after half a quarter, the Warriors only scored 8 points...

Fans basically know this after seeing this.

This series in front of us is really a walk-off game!
