Chapter 1580: Shocking Cold, Lao Zhan Is Out, Your Uncle Is Still Your Uncle (Part 2)

The Cavaliers defeated the Celtics by 3 points in a thrilling manner to win their first victory in the Eastern Conference semifinals. After the game, Mike Brown smiled happily. Although the process was a bit thrilling, the result was good. This time he felt that they were on the right track. on the road.

"We won, didn't we? What we have to do now is sum up experience. Even if we can only win by 1 point in each game, a win is a win." Mike Brown said when faced with questions about the process.

James also said that this victory is crucial: It makes us full of confidence. You know, the meaning of the first game of the series will always be different. We have the opportunity to advance. "

However, the actual situation is that for the Celtics, this is a completely acceptable defeat. Not to mention that this is the Cavaliers' home court. Looking at the process alone, the Celtics have actually found a way to defeat the Cavaliers.

They allowed James to score 30 points in this game. This score looks good, but the shooting percentage is only 44.4%, which is far lower than the 53% in the previous round and lower than the 50.2% in the regular season. It can be said that Pierce The existence of James encountered a challenge for the first time.

At the same time, James only had 6 assists and 7 rebounds in the game, which was lower than his season average. What's more serious is that he made 7 turnovers in this game, one more than his assists.

These data are already very telling. If James can be restricted to this extent, the Green Army's defense is definitely successful.

Xiao Mo scored 10 points on 3 of 12 shots, O'Neal made 4 of 10 shots and 12 points on 4 of 10 free throws, which further proves this point.

As for Jamison, this is the weirdest guy. The Cavaliers almost got Jamison with nothing. Public opinion unanimously believed that the Cavaliers got the last piece of the puzzle to win the championship. However, this puzzle brother obviously disappointed everyone. .

Since he came to the Cavaliers, he has only averaged 11 points and 6 rebounds per game, which is only half of what he was before. More importantly, the reason why Jamison came to the Cavaliers is because he can play 3 or 4, and is good at creating space. He has a three-point basket and is a player that perfectly fits James' style of play.

However, so far in the game, his three-point shooting percentage is 20.2%, which is close to the opponent Rondo, and his shooting percentage is only less than 42%. For an insider, this data is terrible, so I won't mention him.

To sum up, in this game, the Cavaliers were actually restricted by the Green Army!

But you may ask, even so, the Cavaliers still won!

Yes, that's because a guy who shouldn't have exploded did. Moon's appearance allowed the Cavaliers to escape death. Although he only scored 17 points, he averaged only 6.5 points per game this season. Looking at it this way, this game The competition is definitely a blast.

However, can you pin your team's hopes on such a small probability event?

The answer is obviously no, so in the second game, when the Lakers were killing everyone, the Cavaliers were also beaten at home...

The same routine as in the previous game. The Greens locked O'Neal inside, left Jamison open, surrounded James on the outside, and left West open. This style of play is risky, but effective!

James was limited to 24 points in this game, making 6 of 20 shots from the field. O'Neal scored 8 points on 4 of 10 shots. Although Jamison scored 16 points, he took 18 shots. The other two Cavaliers generals, Xiao Mo, scored 4 points. West 3 points…

Moon, the savior in the first game, returned to mediocrity and only scored 2 points, so...

86-106, the Cavaliers suffered a disastrous home defeat and tied the score.

"The Cavaliers are going to be in trouble." Ji Feng concluded after this game. This game was too typical. All the Cavaliers' weaknesses were exposed. When James is restricted, the Cavaliers have only one way to lose. This is true at home, and not in away games. There will be exceptions.

Sure enough, just as Ji Feng guessed, the Cavaliers went to the North Shore Garden, and the scores in the two games were 120-88 and 97-87 respectively. The Cavaliers lost two games in a row, and the big score became 3-1. The Cavaliers were only one step away from being eliminated. One step away.

Under such circumstances, James exploded, scoring a series-high 38 points, 7 assists and 8 rebounds in 46 minutes, leading the Cavaliers to a win at home.

But that's all. The Green Army returned home and taught the Cavaliers a lesson. Although James' big triple-double of 27 points, 19 rebounds and 10 assists was very eye-catching, even though Mo finally played his best game in the playoffs this season. , scored 22 points and 6 assists. Despite O'Neal's best efforts with 12+10, six members of the Green Army scored in double figures, which made the Cavaliers' efforts come to nothing.

94-85, the Cavaliers lost in the away game and were eliminated by the Green Army with a big score of 2-4!

For three consecutive seasons, James once again failed to win the championship, and this time it was even more desperate. They lost even more miserably than last season.

"The season is over, I have nothing to say. As for the future, I need time to decide." James said these words and left after the game.

Anyone with a little knowledge can understand the meaning of James' words. This time, he may be really close to leaving Cleveland, and a big change is brewing secretly.

But this is not what Ji Feng needs to think about. After learning that the Cavaliers were eliminated unsurprisingly, their focus was on the confrontation between the Western Spurs and the Suns.

Different from the pre-match prediction, this time, the sun has the upper hand!

In the first round of the playoffs, the Spurs lost their old rival the Mavericks. Tim Duncan returned to his peak and competed with Nowitzki in the first three games of the playoffs. Later, the two slumped together again, and Popovich began to change his formation. , let Hill, who has stronger defensive ability, enter the starting lineup, put Parker on the bench, and Ginobili entered the starting lineup to sort out the offense.

In addition, George Hill's sudden appearance changed the trend of the series. Even the driver's killer performance in the end was unable to save the day. The Spurs eliminated their old rival the Mavericks and ushered in another old rival, the Suns.

The Spurs are the Sun Nemesis.

This is the reason why everyone was optimistic about the Spurs before the game.

However, the sun is no longer the sun it used to be!

In the first game, Biao became the core player. Both of them had a GDP of 20+. The three of them scored 73 points together. However, Nash scored 33+10 for the Suns. Coupled with the heroic performance of the dunk king, the Suns' trident was positive. Defeated the Spurs' GDP.

In the second game, George Hill and Jefferson shared the pressure of GDP, but the Suns also had Hill, and also added Frye, who made 5 of 6 three-pointers, and the Suns made another victory.

In the third game, the Spurs returned to San Antonio with the determination to win. They limited Stoudemire's offense very well, stifled Nash's passing, and used tough defense and sophisticated offense to attack the Suns' defense. The originally evenly matched contest was broken by a bolt of lightning at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Barbosa, the former best sixth man, scored consecutively at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The next 10 minutes became a one-man performance by a second-round pick selected by the Spurs in 2008.

3-0, the Suns surprised everyone and forced the Spurs to a dead end.

In the last game, the last-ditch Spurs failed to win. The Suns sent their old rival home with 10 three-pointers.

The same 4-0, the Suns and Lakers met in the Western Conference Finals!

"It's a good time. There are some grievances that really need to be resolved." Kobe was already gearing up.
