Chapter 1780 The East-West Showdown Is Announced, Who Can Advance to the Finals!

In Game 5, the Dallas Mavericks, who returned to their home court, refreshed Ji Feng's understanding of BUG in less than half a quarter...

"This thing is fake..." Ji Feng watched for six minutes and even forgot to chew the apple in his mouth.

On the side, Farmar also scratched his head in confusion: "Dirk is really terrible this season. I didn't really believe it at first, but this is awesome and powerful. Paul, you have an opponent." ”

"Well, the old driver is showing off his power." Kobe also said with his arms crossed.

Gasol had the most solemn expression on his face among the group. He did not speak, but stared at the screen. Obviously, this only 5-minute game had made Gasol realize the seriousness of the matter. .

Because, his younger brother, Gasol, was easily beaten by Nowitzki!

Who is Gasol? Three years ago, people would only think that he was Gasol's younger brother, Spain's main insider. Apart from that, not many people are really familiar with him. His reputation in the basketball world It's just so so, compared to his brother, it's definitely far inferior, otherwise he wouldn't have used it as a bargaining chip in exchange for his brother Gasol.

But three years later, Gasol's name has become famous in the basketball world!

Gasol, who was born in 1985, is 26 years old this year and is in the prime of his career. This season, Gasol averaged 11.7 points, 7 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, leading the team to the playoffs and completing the The Black Seven eliminated the Spurs. In that series, Gasol averaged 14.6 points, 7.9 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game, successfully suppressing Duncan. Marc Gasol did not have any skill that was particularly outstanding. His strength was all-round.

He has a high basketball IQ and knows exactly what he should do. Marc Gasol has a good feel for the space on the court and he's good at running without the ball, which is important because there's only one ball on the court and you have to run without the ball most of the time.

This is really important for the Grizzlies who have Mayo, Conley and Gay. One ball is basically not enough to score points. At the same time, Marc Gasol is an all-rounder who can defend, rebound, pass, and shoot. A big man, he often shoots some mid-range shots about 6 feet away from the basket, or creates fouls through low-post attacks; he has post-ups and can confront opponents in the low post.

Such a player is definitely a nightmare for all offensive players. His strong body allows him to deal with those strong inside players, and Howard can't get any advantage from him either.

However, such a player was easily defeated by Dirk.

In the previous few games, Dirk had been defended by Randolph, but the effect was very poor. Randolph couldn't get out and his defensive ability was average. In this game, Marc was entrusted with an important task, but Dirk was really too much. exploded!

The way he defeated Garfield is also very simple, that is, he constantly uses air cuts to hold the ball and shoot mid-range and long-range shots. In this era, an insider doing this all day long will be considered heresy in most cases, and some coaches want to be burned to death. You, but Dirk does it so casually and so effectively!

And, Dirk is so damn accurate!

In less than 5 minutes, Dirk made all 7 shots and 2 of 3 three-pointers, scoring 15 points. At this time, the entire Grizzlies, who are good at defense, only scored 14 points...

It's really like one person destroying a team.

After that, Dirk was brutally double-teamed and his scoring momentum slowed down, but the Mavericks did not panic. Kidd was the veteran who controlled the rhythm on the court. Although Conley had been trying to break this rhythm, he was unable to compete with the veteran Kidd. In comparison, he is really too young.

Constantly sharpening the position and creating opportunities for Dirk, Kidd and Marion also played very well. The entire Mavericks' shooting percentage was ridiculously high. When Terry came on the court at the Mavericks' second scoring point, the situation became unstable. Totally out of control.

"Okay, guys, our opponent in the Western Conference Finals has been confirmed, which is the Mavericks. We can continue to prepare for the game." After halftime, Ji Feng spread his hands and said: "This is really a difficult opponent. We need to do something Be prepared, this series is not going to be easy.”

"Well, this is really not surprising news." Kobe said. The Mavericks have always been their main opponent, but in so many years of the Lakers' rise, this is the first time they have met in the playoffs. The same is true in the OK era.

"I need to strengthen my training." That's what Gasol said. Gasol's experience made him understand that he was about to meet Dirk, who was definitely at the peak of his career. He knew his brother's strength very well, and he It can also be seen that the Grizzlies are in excellent condition, but Dirk is really unsolvable.

The final result of the game was just as Ji Feng predicted at halftime. The Mavericks defeated the Grizzlies 110-87, eliminated their opponents with a total score of 4-1, and returned to the Western Conference Finals after 5 years. They will also become the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. opponent.

Ji Feng had a hunch that this might be the toughest round of the Western Conference Finals.

After talking about the west, the battle in the east is also in full swing.

The first is of course the battle between the Heat and the Celtics, the old and new Big Three.

James and Wade have been with the Celtics for a long time. The Celtics eliminated them from the playoffs in previous seasons. This time they met, it was definitely a head-to-head matchup. To a certain extent, this group The matchup attracts more attention than both groups in the Western Conference.

This was indeed the case in the first game, which was full of excitement. A total of 4 people received 5 T (technical fouls) in the game, and Green Army general Paul Pierce was even ejected.

The war of words also continued off the court, with Celtics coach Doc Rivers criticizing the Heat for playing too dirty. The media also expressed doubts after the game. ESPN commentator Jeff Van Gundy bluntly said: "The referee ruined the game."

The scene was equally intense. Although the Heat once led by 15 points at their home court, the Greens, led by the Big Three, continued to chase points and once narrowed the difference to within 5 points. However, at the critical moment, Wade stood up!

At least this season, Wade is the absolute leader of the Heat!

In the regular season, Wade averaged only 12.8 points and 3.8 rebounds in 4 games against the Celtics, shot only 28% from the field, and averaged only 5.8 free throws per game. However, in the playoffs, Wade was completely upgrade.

Wade made 13 of 19 shots in this game and scored 34 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals. His performance was an absolute superstar.

"Wade set the tone with his energy," Heat coach Spoelstra said after the game.

"I didn't feel like this in the regular season. I want to show it today and be a leader," Wade said. "My teammates performed very well. They kept passing the ball to me." Won During the game, Wade was in a good mood, "Now that we have won the first game, we will continue to win."

And they did.

They kept up their efforts in the second game, and Wade went crazy again, scoring 38 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, leading the Heat to another 102-91 victory, with a total score of 2-0.

The Celtics returned to their home court and woke up from a dream. Pierce and Garnett finally broke out, scoring 27 and 28 points respectively. Wade, who had been crazy for two games, finally became normal in this game, with 25 points, 7 rebounds and 5 rebounds. The performance of assists was not enough to deal with the outbreak of the Big Three. Of course, James played soy sauce on a daily basis and only scored 15 points in the game.

However, the Green Army, which tied the score to 2-1, suffered another blow in the fourth game. Garnett was completely inaccurate in this game and was blocked by Bosh. He only scored 7 points at 10-1, although Pierce scored 28 points. 8 rebounds was good enough, but the Heat still won the most important victory 3-1!

In Game 5, the Heat did not let the opportunity slip away. Wade once again scored 34 points, leading the Heat to a 97-87 victory over the Celtics. The Heat eliminated their opponents 4-1 with a total score of 4-1 and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals!

After the game, Bosh knelt down and cried bitterly.

The Heat's Big Three are once again taking a step towards the finals.

The Green Army's disastrous defeat also officially announced that the Eastern Conference has entered the Heat era, James has matured day by day, the Kai Army has gradually declined, and the new Big Three have quietly emerged.

And their opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals should be the Eastern Conference regular season champion, the Chicago Bulls!

The day after the Heat eliminated the Celtics, the Bulls won the crucial G5 Tianwangshan at their home court. Rose scored 32 points, 8 assists and 4 steals.

Two days later, on May 13th, the Hawks returned home and failed to continue their magic. They defeated the Bulls 73-98. The Bulls scored 4-2 and entered the Eastern Conference Finals again after 13 years!
