Chapter 612： The unpopular has to look at the west
As predicted before the start of the playoffs, the first round of the Western Conference is indeed much more exciting than the Eastern Conference. Although not every round is full of suspense, at least each round has different content.
For example, for the Lakers against the Thunder, the first and eighth games in the East were pure blood abuse, but in this round, the Thunder played very tenaciously.
This is the first playoff game after the SuperSonics changed their name to the Thunder, and it is also the first playoff trip for rookies such as Durant, Westbrook, Harden, Jeff Green, etc. It was the defending champion Lakers last season. Why? I think this is a very different round of competition.
However, they showed unparalleled vitality. Although they had no advantage in the inside line, they still used their athletic ability to deal with the Lakers. After the first iron battle, the two sides were also getting better and better, and they presented wonderful confrontation battles.
The two sides also played from 2-0 to 2-2. In two away games, the Lakers were slaughtered by as many as 26 points. But in the crucial g6, the Thunder failed to hold. Kobe scored 32 points and 7 rebounds on 12 of 25 shots. Although he missed the quasi-lore in the last 1.8 seconds, Gasol made a brilliant contribution and made a lore to kill the Thunder.
After the Thunder was out, Adu couldn't help crying.
This g6 made Zuo Li very emotional, this Thunder really has unlimited potential, that is, if it encounters the Lakers or the Spurs, it may pass the test!
Talent visible to the naked eye, excellent athletic ability in five positions, capable of attacking and defending, no wonder the upward momentum is so strange, but unfortunately, the final fate is to disband, which can only make people sigh.
After eliminating the Thunder, the Lakers also took the first step in defending their title. Their opponents in the second round were not the Nuggets, the opponents of last year's Western Conference finals that everyone predicted, and the Jazz led by Deron!
There is no sign of the decline of the Nuggets. Before the start of the season, they were even the favorites to win the championship. At the beginning of the season, they were also the gods who blocked the gods. The Buddha blocked the Lord of the Buddha. Which way the accident came so quickly, the departure of George Karl made the Nuggets lose. Lost the backbone and lost the only person who can suppress Anthony, plus Billups' injury.
Anthony has improved from last season's defense and the all-round warrior who has changed his attacking style. He has once again become a singles champion. The Nuggets have no coherence in 6 games, just watching Anthony's singles.
The Jazz are actually not strong enough, their weaknesses are very obvious, the lineup has not changed for so many years, and the tactics are still single, but obviously, it is impossible to break through Sloan's defense only by singles, so the Jazz eliminated the Nuggets 4-2 and became the No. 1 in the West. Only two teams made it to the semifinals.
In this regard, Zuo Li just wanted to say: "It's over, the Jazz are going to be abused by the Lakers again!"
Eat, sleep, play jazz.
The Lakers are the hurdle the Jazz can't overcome.
And the third is the Phoenix Suns, the third in the Western Conference regular season, they also eliminated the Trail Blazers 4-2.
However, no one ridiculed the Blazers in this round, but they were full of respect for them, because they lost Oden, lost Roy, 5 people were on the injured list, and the Blazers, who were rotated by 7 people in 6 games, could still fight the Suns for 6 games. It's been very difficult.
After the game, various media also expressed regret: "Injuries ruined this team with unlimited potential."
This is also Zuo Li's regret. He has never been able to know where the upper limit of this pioneer is.
In this way, three of the four semi-final teams have been determined, and the remaining one will be produced in the two "bulls and horses".
The battle between these two teams is too much to say. Duncan and Nowitzki are definitely opponents similar to Olajuwon and Ewing. The grievances between the two teams are drawn out, which is longer than this novel.
Take Nowitzki, for example, he played 111 games with the Spurs in his career, regular season and playoffs, more than he did in an entire season. Among them, because the Spurs and the Mavericks have a glorious history, the two teams often meet in the playoffs. From 2001 to 2014, the two teams met 6 times in 14 years, each with a winner and a loser.
Especially in the past two years, the two teams have all avenged each other.
Last season, although Parker averaged 28.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game, and Duncan also had 19.8 points, 8.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists, but because of Ginobili's absence, the Spurs were still defeated by the Mavericks.
And this season, the results are directly reversed!
The Mavericks played very well in the regular season, as if they had finally recovered from the shadow of being black eight in 2007, ranking second only to the Lakers in the West.
The Spurs, on the other hand, experienced the pain of changing generals. The younger generation brought about a decline in combat effectiveness, and finally only ranked seventh.
Seventh in the regular season is definitely an unfamiliar ranking for the Spurs, and for the fans who have always supported them.
If Zuo Li remembers correctly, this should be the lowest ranking in the Duncan era.
"This time the Mavericks won't win?"
That's what fans thought before the series began.
As a result, the calf was once again tragic.
I don’t know if the second ranking has inspired the genes that the Mavericks will not play when they are ranked high. After winning the first game, the power is cut off and they will no longer play!
bang bang bang!
The Spurs actually won three games in a row, and the Mavericks managed to get back a point in the fifth game, and there was no miracle in the sixth game...
4-2, after the Mavericks presented the most classic black eight in history two years ago, they presented their first black seven since the best of 7 games.
I'm a Mavericks fan and my heart aches!
This is simply out of the world, and the Spurs fans were stunned when the ball won.
After the black eight, the black seven... People are not always so unlucky.
Not to mention that Dirk saved his career with a championship, if he just retires like this, it must be nailed to the pillar of shame.
There was also an episode after the game. Cuban stayed alone in the visiting team's locker room, without saying a word. After being photographed by a tnt reporter, he forcibly stole the videotape...
However, Cuban’s move was forgiven. After all, he spent more than $87 million for the Mavericks this season and had to pay a luxury tax of $17.79 million, but he was eliminated by the seventh in the Western Conference. In the past four seasons, they have been eliminated in the first round three times, and they are the only tragic team that has been "hijacked by eight" and then "hijacked by seven" after the first round of the playoffs was changed to a best-of-7-innings system... Think about this, library It's good that Ban doesn't cry!
No one is confused. UU Reading
And the strength of the Spurs has been certified once again. They all call the Spurs the biggest dark horse, and even have the opportunity to meet the Lakers in the Western Conference finals again. After all, their opponents, the Suns, have not defeated them in the playoffs in the next round.
…
The first round of the playoffs ended in the east -- of course, the west -- with frequent upsets, and the second round of the playoffs will officially start on May 2.
Each team has also arrived at the game site to prepare for the game. The Knicks will still take the lead in the second round. The Magic has arrived in New York in the early morning of the 30th.
However, before the official start of the second round of the playoffs, the final highlight of the regular season this season-the awards season is finally about to kick off!
