On the 17th, in the Heat tactical room, all Heat teams watched the G5 Tianwangshan battle between the Cavaliers and the Pistons.
The two defensive teams played very ugly, and it was easy to feel sleepy just watching it.
James is still very capable. It was only the first time he fought against the Pistons' five tigers alone. He was not jerky and was very strong. He broke the glasses of many basketball experts and led the Cavaliers to a narrow victory over the Pistons with a 2-point advantage. The score was 3.
With a score of 2, we are only one game away from reaching the Eastern Conference Finals.
James' talent made Pat come to take advantage of him.
Facing the top five Pistons, his body was crushed in all kinds of ways, and his talent was visible to the naked eye.
The fledgling James, as the first brother, is likely to become the Heat's opponent.
if not?
That's not bad, it means that the opponent has to play a tiebreaker and the Heat can wait and see.
During the period, each season, various awards are revealed one after another.
Regular season MVP, finally connected by Nash.
To be fair, the Suns' losing record is not superior. They only rank fourth in the league, with the Pistons (64 wins), the Spurs (63 wins) and the Mavericks (60 wins) weighing on them.
And there is only 54 wins, which is still far behind the 62 wins last season.
Fortunately, Nash has no opponents who can beat him.
Pistons Fab Five?
No one has both good looks and strength.
Duncan of the Spurs can get it, but it's just a rebound, which is unremarkable. You are Duncan. This kind of performance is simply a fool. You don't deserve to win awards when you play healthy basketball.
Nash's biggest opponents are Dirk Nowitz, Wade and James.
If there is an advantage over the team, James is actually the most suitable candidate to win the MVP.
After all, the Cavaliers didn't make it to the playoffs last season and improved to 50 wins this season. However, he is too young, just like Wade.
Moreover, this year’s selection criteria are extremely poor.
By this standard, Nash is too miserable.
Stoudemire was reimbursed for the season, Joe Johnson went to another team to become the boss, Quentin Richardson was sent to the Knicks, and in exchange for Kurt Thomas, he was reimbursed for half the season. The center position can only rely on marginal players.
If you can't hit the ball, Diaw, who is 2.03 meters tall, goes up to him. Don't you think this is miserable enough?
The lineups of other teams have been strengthened, but they have not been able to crush the Suns in record. In terms of style of play, the ultimate 7-second run and gun is very popular. The MVP must definitely be Nash.
The Most Improved Award went to Dior.
The best defensive player went to Ben.
The best 6th man is Mike Miller.
Best team, O'Neal, Nowitzki, James, Kobe, Nash.
All-Defensive Team...It's nothing without the Heat, so don't worry about it.
The best new lineup that Su Bei cares about most has been revealed.
Bogut, Channing Fletcher, Su Bei, Paul, Deron Williams.
Su Bei had the last laugh, kicking the white-browed hero Nyuraviva, who only knew how to brush statistics, into the second team. After all, his position was neither three nor four, and he looked unseemly.
In terms of statistics, compared to Su Bei's performance of 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game, it is not much better.
On the 21st, the Heat's opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals was determined, and as expected it was the Pistons.
In the tiebreaker, the Cavaliers were so defensive that they doubted their lives. The team only scored 61 points, while the Pistons scored 78 points, which taught the young James a lesson.
In addition, good news also came from the west.
The Mavericks held on. With a 3:1 lead, they were beaten two games in a row by the Spurs and dragged into a Game 7. It took overtime to defeat the Spurs and get a chance at the Western Conference Finals.
The Mavericks' opponent was the Suns, who also reached the tiebreaker and defeated the Clippers.
The two run-and-gun teams are both noobs on defense. For the Heat, there is only one sentence: The advantage is mine.
At this moment, the Heat already have a championship appearance.
Of course, you have to eat every meal, and the games are played one by one. Football is round, and so is basketball. You can't relax even a little bit before all your opponents fall.
Su Bei felt like vomiting when he thought about the opposing players.
"That guy Hamilton is so good at running, but he can't carry a wrench...
I don’t know if the B-level body can be used without it?”
In fact, you can be more confident, but it’s really not enough.
The other opponent is the little prince Prince, whose state is a bit strange.
It can be said that he was the biggest contributor to the Pistons' advancement to the Eastern Conference Finals. It was his offensive explosion that defeated the Cavaliers.
Scored 24 points in Game 1, 4 of 4 three-pointers, 20 points in Game 2, 10 points in Game 3, 16 points in Game 4, 15 points in Game 5, 21 points in Game 6, and 20 points in Game 7
point.
In the regular season, Prince averaged only 14 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game. In the Eastern Conference semifinals, under James' defense, he averaged 18 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game. Just looking at the data, the improvement was not very big, but he won
The team won every 20-point game, and the first, sixth and seventh games were often very critical and fatal.
You know, the little prince is not strong in offense, but in defense. Defending James in the series only allowed James to average 33 points per game...
Oh, what about the strong defense we promised?
Don't just look at the data, but also look at the tactics. The Cavaliers played an offense that relied on James' tactics. They only allowed James to score 33 points, which was still very strong. With the integration of offense and defense, it was simply terrifying.
In particular, Prince was a rookie in 2002, the same class as Yao Ming.
This means that this year is the contract year when his rookie contract ends, but players in the contract year are generally not easy to mess with.
May 23, Detroit.
As night falls, the road leading to the Palace of Auburn Hills is filled with crowds of people and busy traffic.
At this time, Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals was being played at the Pistons' home court. The arena was brightly lit and crowded with people.
During the warm-up, it was just O'Neal and Wade who said hello to Billups and Ben of the Pistons.
Others wanted to chat about a few cents, but they really couldn't.
Ben was a member of the golden generation of 1996, but he was an undrafted draft pick and couldn't stand a chance with Walker.
Prince was drafted in 2002, but Haslem was undrafted.
Plus Posey and Hamilton in 1999, their status is not on the same level.
It seems that I forgot something?
By the way, Milicic, the second overall pick of the 2003 Platinum Generation, left after less than half the season.
Even if Milicic is not sent away, Wade and him will never be able to talk about brotherly basketball.
Well, the villain dies because he talks too much, so it’s better to just do it.
At this time, the lineups of both sides for tonight's match were also displayed on the big screen in the arena.
The Pistons' top five are Ben, Rasheed, Prince, Hamilton, and Billups.
The Heat's starting five are O'Neal, Walker, Haslem, Wade and Jason Williams.
This is a tough battle. It is impossible for Laili to put two shooters on the field. Posey has no chance. Su Bei is just a rookie, so it is impossible.
The most important thing in the game is defense.
This game will be broadcast live on TNT radio across the United States, with Barkley and Kenny Smith as commentary partners.
"The Pistons won all four games against the Heat in the regular season.
The Pistons have the best record in the league. If the Heat can win one or two games, the Spurs will be first in the regular season.
Of course, the Heat have something hidden in the regular season, and we have to look at their performance in life-and-death battles to see which team is stronger.
If I had to choose a team, I would choose the Heat.
Because, after the Heat won first and then lost to the Pistons last season, the lineup was strengthened.
The Pistons lineup has not changed, but they have chosen another path, changed the head coach, and still play the original 'correct basketball'. I am worried that the Pistons are in too deep water and the new coach will not be able to grasp it!"
"They are all defensive teams, and there is nothing to say. Next, it is all left to the players on the court..."
The game begins!
Beep——!
When the whistle sounded, the referee threw the basketball into the sky. Rasheed defeated O'Neal and scored the first offense for the Pistons.
"Billups controlled the ball to the frontcourt, was not in a hurry to attack, and waited for his teammates to move. Hamilton took Wade and started running, starting a hide-and-seek game.
Unable to get rid of it, the Heat blocked the interior with people, and Hamilton's runway was not easy to run..."
Billups chose to do it himself, hitting Jason Williams from behind, step by step, until he got into a comfortable position.
Turn around, raise your hand and shoot a two-point fadeaway jumper...
Jason Williams, who is 1.85 meters tall, is a defensive incompetent and can only stare.
Bang-dang——!
The basketball shot missed.
Tielu didn't care. The Pistons never relied on offense to win. As long as they defended well, they couldn't lose.
No matter how hard the attack is, there will always be a time when you can break in.
