Are the Mavericks short of scoring experts? This sentence is simply ridiculous. Nowitzki, Howard and Terry are all first-class attackers in the league
Is that the Mavericks lack a good organizer? Jason Kidd’s third-largest superstar point guard in league history has once again been put on the cusp.
Is Kidd really old? In these four games against Spurs, Kidd has six or seven assists in each game, and his double scores are always less than double digits, which is far from his career average. It is said that Devin Harris’ exchange for Kidd is a sign that the Mavericks are declining. Is it true that Kidd has harmed the Mavericks?
Let’s take a look at the performance of Kidd’s 1-for-5 shooting in the data field game. It’s also an unreasonable performance for Kidd, who has never been good at personal attack, but the offensive performance is not good. This is Kidd’s defect, but in terms of the most effective on-site efficiency, Kidd is the lowest among the 24 teams. That is to say, Kidd’s net loss of opponents during the game coincides with the final difference. Is Kidd really the chief culprit of losing the game? Actually, that is not the case.
The Los Angeles media have the luxury to comment on other teams. The Los Angeles Times believes that Kidd’s specialty lies in his ability to control the rhythm and grasp instant opportunities. That is to say, he needs more and more teammates to run the ball and find a fatal opportunity in the crowd. In addition, Kidd’s delivery ability is also first-class, but the Mavericks know that altruism has the decision-making power in the fast break. Look at how lazy other Mavericks players are in the ball state in today’s game. They all reach out for the ball or wait for him to break through the ball.
Breaking the ball distribution is actually the simplest point guard technology. If Kidd was absent five years ago, of course, the Mavericks’ fault lies in comparing their breaking the ball distribution ability with Harris, who is 26 years old. The Mavericks’ current body and overall personnel composition need to be a breakthrough and sharp point guard. This can also explain that the unknown barea can quickly become popular recently, but it doesn’t mean that they don’t have the offensive ability to play more flexible positions. It’s not too late to evaluate Kidd’s gains and losses if more balls can coordinate, cover, turn, run, pick and roll.
It can be said that Kidd has a unique skill, but he has to be forced to play in the way he is not good at at at present. In the third quarter, Mavericks backup striker Bass once showed off his unique skill. Instead, Bass stupidly missed the opportunity to clean the basket through three defenders.
The lack of Mavericks is precisely this kind of activity in positional warfare. It is a fact that Kidd came to Dallas, and both the Mavericks and others became victims of the transaction. But whether Kidd harmed the Mavericks or the Dallas body made the best point guard in the league lose his game in the past year needs to be said.
April 27th In the west, Lakers 3:1 Hornets Rockets 31 Trailblazers Clippers 4: Thunder Spurs 31 Mavericks in the east, Cleveland Cavaliers 2:2 Chicago Bulls Boston Celtics 2:2 new york Knicks Orlando Magic 31 City 76ers Atlanta Hawks 2:2 Miami Heat.
The Clippers have entered the second round, but they may not wait long because the Rockets also got the match point. Their opponent base is the Houston Rockets, and then there will be a China derby.
Chapter four hundred and fifteen Six games out?
On April 2, the first round of the playoffs, four or five players entered the life-and-death battle, and the rockets rushed to Portland Rose Garden, hoping to advance to the Western Conference semifinals before defeating the pioneers away from home to fulfill their 12-year dream.
Adelman has a lot of ideas. Today, Yao’s first quarter is not the center of the rocket attack. There was not a single shot to touch the ball, and very few Argentine Luis Scola became the main attacker of the rocket again. This greatly exceeded the expectations of the pioneers. The Argentine scored 15 points in the first quarter to help the rockets lead the pioneers 2-25.
In the second quarter, in order to restrain Scola’s play, the developer had to cancel Yao’s double-teaming, which revived the little giant in the second quarter. Yao seized the opportunity to make three consecutive goals, one of which was two plus one, and then assisted Marbury to hit the Rockets with a wave of 11:**, which widened the score difference to 14 points.
Adelman’s unexpected tactical arrangement made the team seize the lead. Since then, the developer has been chasing after it, but the overall strength of the rocket has suppressed the developer’s cold. Roy and Marbury played against each other in the third quarter, but they did not occupy the old key. They were not soft at all. Yao’s ball continued to cover the line and made a killing. The developer was defeated by the rocket’s new outer core, and the rocket was 15 points behind in three quarters.
The last quarter should be the winner. The Rockets made another 15-point difference. It looked like a lot, but the Rockets lost everything when they played half a game. In the last 3 minutes and 5 seconds, the developer overtook the Rockets by one point after Roy scored three points with bird flu.
Chinese rocket fans, look at this. It’s called an egg pain. What are these things? However, watching the rocket game is like this. The rockets won’t make you worry. They can all be chased. Let’s take a look at the Clippers. They have to lead by double digits in the last quarter. This is the gap. Watching the Clippers game is a comfort.
This is the reason why the number of Chinese rocket fans is gradually overtaken by the number of Clippers fans. Yao and the animal brothers are both from China. Of course, everyone likes to watch the Clippers win 6 games in the season. How can the word "cool" be expressed?
Yao finally got angry, but the little giant’s physical decline was not the reason for the loopholes in the rocket’s defense. Adelman immediately changed his physical strength and was also a little tired. Scola changed to David Lee and Yao, but it was not these two people who saved the rocket’s key moment. The rocket finally ventured through two three-pointers by Battier.
"The Pakistani team is really a giant!" It’s not easy for Chinese rocket fans to burst into tears again. Battier’s three-pointer shooting rate is not too high, and it hasn’t exceeded 4% in the regular season, but Battier’s three-pointers are more reliable at the key moment. This is the embodiment of the leader’s temperament.
So is Clippers Billups. Players with big hearts are often said to be big-game players. Instead of being overwhelmed by pressure, they will use it to make themselves more brilliant. But some players are just the opposite, including many stars who play well in the regular season and become depressed in the playoffs. These players just don’t have a big heart, leadership and are not good leaders.
In the end, the Rockets defeated the pioneer Roy in 9592, but they didn’t make the final three-point winner. After 12 years, they finally reached the second round of the playoffs. However, the bad news came out yesterday. They had to face the defending champion Clippers to test whether they could sink the Clippers. Anyway, other fans except the Rockets fans didn’t like them.
In the last quarter, the Rockets were reversed by 15 points, and almost made a big comeback. Roy scored a maximum of 34 points with illness and Aldridge also scored 25 points and 7 rebounds with elbow injury. Unfortunately, these two players scored double points, and the rest of the players played an ordinary young role. The pioneer became Yao’s first round dream.
Yao scored 2 points, 12 rebounds, 2 points and 12 assists in 9 of 12 shots in a game. Scola made 1 of 13 shots and scored 21 points, but scored 4 points at halftime.
Three Rockets players scored 2 points, and Yao’s shooting percentage was very eye-catching. In this series, the little giant made 69 shots and 49 hits, and the shooting percentage was as high as 71%. However, it was criticized by many people that the little giant scored two points in the last quarter of the game, and most of his misses were in the fourth quarter. He was still the same old problem. Height was his advantage and limited him. Everyone knew that the little giant could play well in three quarters.
Now rocket fans themselves suspect that they have lost their strength in the last quarter when the pioneer bypassed and attacked the little giant. So if Yao, who is famous and good at bypassing the former panda warrior, is not allowed to play for half a game, will he be tired? Not to mention that the Clippers are bound to attack Yao with twin brothers. These two brothers are not as fast as the line. Once Yao doesn’t get the basketball rocket, he seems to have to stop eating.
After the 2nd, two teams in the West have already qualified for the Lakers’ home court, and their confidence was also easily defeated. The Hornets took their own match points and eliminated the Hornets. Of course, they kept silent about the Clippers for 61 minutes, showing that the whole Lakers players were in a bad mood. Although they also ravaged the Hornets, their sworn enemies did better than them, especially breaking their records for more than 50 years, which made all Lakers players and fans very unhappy.
Damn it, 50 years ago, the parents of these Lakers players were still wearing crotch pants. Kobe Bryant and others were depressed about this, although it had nothing to do with them. In the end, the Lakers media could not help but complain about the thunder, saying that these guys were too thunderous. Even if they scored two more goals, the Clippers could not break the record.
April 29th In the west, Lakers 4:1 Hornets Rockets 41 Trailblazers Clippers 4: Thunder Spurs 41 Mavericks in the east, Cleveland Cavaliers 3:2 Chicago Bulls Boston Celtics 3:2 new york Knicks Orlando Magic 32 City 76ers Atlanta Hawks 3:2 Miami Heat.
Another interesting thing happened on this day. After the game, the coaches of three teams who were playing in the playoffs were fined $25 by the league, including Rick Adelman, the coach of the Rockets who had just advanced to the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, and Te McMillan, the coach of the Extension. Another penalty was Doug Rivers, the coach of the Boston Celtics.
The news was announced today by nba executive vice president Stu Jackson that the three teams were punished for publicly criticizing the referee after the team’s game.
Rockets coach Adelman and extension coach McMillan both complained about the fines caused by the referee after the victory of the Rockets, while Celtic coach Rivers paid the price for his remarks after the fourth game with the Knicks. The orange-green war was played for two overtime hours, and finally the green shirt army lost to the Knicks new york at 1119, and it was a shoo-in with 9 points in the last minute and 11 seconds, but the Knicks had a guy named Tracy who played for one minute. Score 7 points, amazing lift, plus Iverson’s last five seconds, three-point lore. Two former superstars teamed up to score 1 point in one minute, chasing it a minute ago or nine points behind. The Knicks took away the Celtics Big Three when the red light of the timer came on.
After this game, many players felt incredible. Fox was one of them. He really couldn’t figure out that the Celtics were forced to be the Big Three by the Knicks. It was so lame that even the two old guys couldn’t clean up. He had to send a text message to Gart to ridicule one.
On the other hand, although the Rockets won the first round opponent, coach Adelman was still not satisfied with the referee’s decision. He publicly stated more than once in the first round of the playoffs that the referee was very inconsistent with Yao and other players’ decisions, and the defender rudely treated Yao, which was acquiesced by the court referee.
Then Adelman publicly stated before the fifth game that the judges’ decisions were arranged according to the time, not according to the actual situation. When a few minutes before the game, they would always blow out five or six fouls. However, after that, they would get used to this kind of thing, so the defender could put his palm on Yao and stop worrying about the referee sounding the whistle. This made Yao need more strength to play well.
The reason why McMillan was punished was that after the fourth game between the Rockets and the Trailblazers, some remarks were added to Celtic Rivers, so today the nba made a unified fine, and all three coaches lost 25 thousand dollars
The four rounds of the Western Conference were completely over on the 29th. All three of them were 4:1, which shows that the western powers are strong. Clippers, Spurs, Lakers and Rockets are all teams capable of winning the championship, and their horses will have to fight each other in the semi-finals of the Western Conference.
Los Angeles Clippers vs Houston Rockets San Antonio Spurs vs Los Angeles Lakers Four teams are about to face each other cruelly in the second exhibition!
The Rockets can be said to be the team with the least champion among the four teams. The combination of Marbury+Yao+Scola is far from the Big Three. Their advantage is that they are powerful substitutes. The head coach’s ability may be better than that of old Deng Liwei, but far better than that of old Deng Liwei. Don’t Povich and Jackson always lose to the Clippers? The strong teams in the nba still depend on the players to play this aspect, and the rockets are suspicious of the wind.
Before the playoffs, many experts commented on the topic of the Clippers in the matchup between the Rockets and the Trailblazers. It seems that they had long guessed that the Clippers would meet the Rockets in the semi-finals, and so did the Clippers. They were somewhat in high spirits when they played against Thunder, and they had already flown to the second round to consider whether they could make it to the Western Conference finals and continue their championship road.
Speaking of the clippers’ strength against the rockets, the clippers are in an absolute advantage, but the game between the two sides is indeed quite suspenseful. Although the clippers have an absolute advantage over the rockets in the regular season, 31 absolute advantages will give them a psychological advantage in the series, but this does not mean that the rockets are in the wind for a simple reason. The regular season is plagued by injuries, but the rockets will break their first spell this year, and their morale will be greatly boosted, especially in the face of the clippers’ situation. Without psychological pressure, the rockets will prove that they can give the clippers enough trouble.
At this time, the Los Angeles Times was very confident in the Clippers and reported the second round of the contest between the two teams with the headline "The Rockets are not Clippers’ opponents and will definitely be out in six games"
Chapter four hundred and sixteen The second round
Olajuwon appears at the home of the Rockets every year in the playoffs. When talking about the first round of the Rockets’ problems, the famous Rockets player who taught Yao the dream steps said, "Yao’s main problem is that it is difficult to break the front defense. His size is too big, which has both advantages and disadvantages. Olajuwon answered the fans’ questions and gave three countermeasures to break the front defense.
1. The Rockets put the ball in the corner and attract the attention of the opposing players, and then quickly give the ball to Yao.
2. When the Clippers double-team Yao, the Rockets player on the weak side can cover for Yao. In this case, the players on both sides can get rid of Yao.
3. Outside players should also strengthen the shooting accuracy on the outside, so that the Clippers will not dare to double-team Yao easily, and Yao can also pull some lines to attack.
Well, Yao knows these tricks himself, but sometimes you don’t know how to do them well in the game. Everyone knows that you can beat them by limiting the Clippers line, but it seems that the Spurs are doing well all season, but in the playoffs, Olajuwon estimates that he may not be able to escape from the animal brothers. Don’t say that Yao Olajuwon himself thinks that if he met two such opponents online alone, it would not be much better than Duncan last year. These two twin lines are playing on the same team.
On May 1, the Rockets conducted a targeted team training, but Yao, the core player, did not participate in the training. He told reporters that his ankle was a little sore to avoid the aggravation of the injury before the war. After consultation with his team doctor, he decided not to participate in the training, but Yao said that he would not miss the first game of the Western Conference semi-final in stamps Center.
Yao said, "I don’t have a big problem, but my ankle is a little sore. Let’s be on the safe side. Everyone thinks it’s better for me not to take part in training and give my ankle some rest. Today, I came here to watch the training of my teammates. This ankle injury has no effect on my semi-final."
This may be because the Rockets released smoke bombs in the current war, and the Clippers also released smoke bombs. The Los Angeles media reported that the Clippers’ two leading star brothers, Binuclear Animals, missed the team training like Yao because of flu symptoms. Although the Clippers gave the official news that the two brothers were included in the "Daily Watch List", it is absolutely certain that Yao and the two animals will appear in the semi-final.
On May 2nd, East Cleveland Cavaliers 3:3 Chicago Bulls Boston Celtics 3:3 new york Knicks Orlando Magic 42 City 76ers Atlanta Hawks 3:3 Miami Heat Well, the Cavaliers and Celtics actually played the seventh game. The former was injured by Brand, and the latter was not surprising. The Green Shirts also played seven games in each round last year to determine the winner.
The four semi-final teams in the west have been fully rested thanks to the Eastern Fortune, which is more beneficial to the Spurs and the Rockets. The Spurs need physical strength, so the Lakers have to worry about whether their consistent lax attitude will be killed by the Spurs with a single sprint like the army.
The Rockets also have a rest. Yao needs this very much, but the outside world is still optimistic about the Clippers. However, the Los Angeles Times’ new ship Midadan wrote that the Clippers should not underestimate their enemies, not only because one of the Rockets did not lose to Stephen Marbury, but also because of the team’s history. "Never underestimate a championship heart" came from the 95 Rockets coach Rudy Tom Janovich. The defending champion Rockets did not perform very well that season, and most people were not optimistic, but they finally succeeded in defending their titles.
Da Dan wakes up the Clippers. Don’t forget Yao’s words after defeating the Trailblazers in Game 5. "It’s just after the first round of the playoffs that I don’t care. This is not the Clippers’ goal, the Lakers’ goal, the Celtics’ goal, the Cavaliers’ goal and our goal."
For the rockets, it was a long wait when they passed the first round, but it also meant a new one.
The Rockets once won two championships in 1994 and 1995. Looking back on their winning process, you will find that these are almost impossible to complete. In 1994, the Rockets lost two home games in the queue match with the Suns, but they still struggled to get to the top in 1995, when the Houston people entered the playoffs in the sixth place and did not have home advantage in the whole series.
