The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

In the first game, the Bucks easily won the game with 117:99.

Durant played a little abnormally under Wang Meng's full defense, but due to his playing style, Durant still scored 24 points and his shooting percentage reached 46%.

Corresponding to this is Antetokounmpo's runaway.

Both Harris and Pope seemed helpless in the face of Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo made 14 free throws in the game, made 11 of them, made 13 of 22 shots, 59% from the field, scored 17 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists.

After the fiasco in the first game, the Pistons made adjustments in the second game. Wang Meng turned to defend Antetokounmpo. This game made Wang Meng play very well. At this stage, he is the nemesis of Antetokounmpo. He has not yet developed a stable outside shot. Antetokounmpo can only rely on the two tricks of breaking through with the ball or cutting to the basket without the ball.

When facing most of the strikers in the league, Antetokounmpo can use his height, strength and speed advantages to score easily, but he can't when facing Wang Meng.

The nickname of Artest Beast at his peak is not for nothing. He is not afraid of anyone in strength confrontation, and at the same time, his speed can keep up with most of the league's guards.

Wang Meng, who has inherited all these perfectly, is not afraid of Brother Antetokounmpo in any other respects except for his height!

And Antetokounmpo's only advantage in height is not particularly obvious, after all, Wang Meng also has a height of more than 2 meters.

...

Throughout the game, under Wang Meng's close defense, Antetokounmpo's standard was greatly lost. He only made 6 of 16 shots in the game, with a shooting percentage of 37.5%, and even made 7 turnovers.

Wang Meng's defense against Antetokounmpo was very successful, but the Pistons still lost the game.

The reason is simple. The Pistons only have one Wang Meng. When he goes to defend Antetokounmpo, what will Durant do?

Even if the compatibility is not good, Wang Meng is also the best player on the Pistons to defend Durant!

When the opponent standing in front of Durant is not Wang Meng, the horror of the league's strongest scorer is fully displayed.

He made 14 of 21 shots, 63% from the field, including 3 3-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, and scored 38 points!

The total score became 2:0 in the blink of an eye, and then the Pistons returned to the Motor City home game, and there were still not many people optimistic about it.

In the two games, Drummond, the leading player of the Pistons, has been questioned. Although he is still the rebounding leader of the team and even the two teams in these two games, he scored 15 rebounds and 14 rebounds in the two games respectively, but that is all. That's all, even when facing Jokic, he couldn't complete his defensive tasks well. Jokic averaged 15 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists in these two games. Still at the average level.

Players such as Harris and Pope have also been criticized. In the high-intensity confrontation in the playoffs, their performance has dropped sharply.

The only one in the entire Pistons team who received praise was Wang Meng.

Whether facing Durant or Antetokounmpo, Wang Meng performed very strongly, and his strong defensive ability was fully demonstrated.

Even in those two series, he was the Pistons' leading scorer with 18 points in Game 1 and 20 in Game 2.

It's a pity that Wang Meng's strength is not the top star in itself, so it is impossible to turn the tide against such a luxurious configuration of the Bucks.

...

After returning to the home court of the Motor City, the situation has not improved in the slightest.

In the third game, under the arrangement of the team's head coach, Wang Meng began to try to defend Durant and Antetokounmpo in turns with the assistance of other teammates, but this behavior was almost like lying to himself.

Whether it is Durant or Antetokounmpo, they are all stars who compete for the MVP of the regular season. Even Wang Meng can't completely guard against one player all the time, let alone guarding two people in turn?

The result of this arrangement is that both Durant and Antetokounmpo can score easily. Both scored more than 25 points, and their shooting percentages are still high.

So the Pistons lost their third game again.

By the fourth game, the Pistons seemed to have given up on themselves a bit.

The big score of 3:0 has basically declared the Pistons out in advance. After all, it is almost impossible to win 4 games in a row when they are behind 3:0.

This kind of thinking led to the Pistons falling behind by more than 20 points after only two quarters in the fourth quarter, announcing in advance that the game had lost its suspense.

With a total score of 4:0, the Bucks easily advanced to the second round, and their opponent in the second round will be the winner of the Nets and Celtics.

These two teams launched an extremely bloody fight in the first round.

The strength of the Nets and the Celtics is similar. Although the Nets have Jeremy Lin, the Celtics' lineup and rationality are even better.

The starting point guard of the Celtics is Thomas Jr., who was very unlucky to meet Jeremy Lin in the series and was almost educated by hanging him all the way.

In front of Jeremy Lin, Thomas Jr. is at a disadvantage in terms of height and strength. The only slight advantage is in speed, and it is not a particularly big advantage.

In the first two games in Brooklyn, New York, the home court of the Nets, Jeremy Lin led the team to defeat their opponents and took advantage of two victories.

However, at the Celtics' home court, the situation has changed.

The Celtics’ Devil’s home game is not for nothing, and the coaching ability of the young coach Stevens is also really good. After two consecutive losses, he quickly adjusted his tactics, allowing the Celtics to successfully move back two games at home. Rewrite the score to a 2:2 tie.

Next, they will continue to have a life-and-death contest for the second round of the playoffs. It is still unclear who will win.

However, the other two matchups in the Eastern Conference basically came to fruition at this time.

The game between the Wizards and the 76ers did not have much suspense. Although Wall achieved an average of 20+10 double-doubles per game this season, he is still not comparable to the Big Three of the Wizards. It is also a clean 4:0. , The Wizards eliminated the 76ers and entered the second round.

On the other side of the game between the Cavaliers and the Eagles, the score was 3:1, and qualifying is just one or two more games.

At this time, fans of the Wizards and Cavaliers were a little depressed.

Because soon their two teams will meet in the second round of the Eastern Conference semifinals, and they will have a life-and-death contest for the places to enter the Eastern Conference Finals.

At this time, the Bucks, another rival in the East, only need to deal with the Nets or Celtics, which is obviously much easier.

But there is no way, who made the Bucks the number one team in the Eastern Conference?

You can't squeeze the Bucks to the second and third place in the regular season. In the playoffs, you can only watch the Bucks sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
