The disadvantage of civilian teams is that no one can stand up at critical moments, and even the head coach himself doesn't know who can perform well today.
But this is also the benefit of civilian teams, because opponents don’t know where the focus of defense is!
Once you feel good, find the rhythm, and use all your points, there's no need to be on guard!
Similarly, at a psychological level, a civilian team does not have a boss and lacks a backbone at critical moments - I am not the boss, and losing has nothing to do with me!
However, the opposite may also happen - since there is no leader and everyone can be the boss, then everyone will fight bravely to be the first and work hard!
Therefore, civilian teams have advantages and disadvantages, and they are easy to defend but not easy to defend!
A series lasts at least four games, and civilian teams will always perform well in one or two games!
After winning this game, the series score between the two teams became 3:1.

The Clippers took full advantage of their home court advantage and got a lot of free throws.

With less than 10 seconds left in the game, the Clippers trailed by 1 point. Paul and Griffin played a pick-and-roll, and the Thunder switched defenses. Paul got a chance to play small. He successfully challenged Ibaka and made a steady mid-range shot.
, overtaking the score.
There are only 2 seconds left in the game. The Thunder have the ball and serve from the frontcourt.
At this time, Durant stood up. He circled around to catch the ball. Facing Jordan's defense, he did not hesitate to take action decisively, and the basketball went hollow into the net!
Durant's three-pointer kills the Clippers!
After winning this game, the score between the two teams became 3:1, and the Thunder is expected to advance!
…
The game between the Lakers and the Grizzlies was even more boring. The two teams hugged each other and fought hand-to-hand. People kept falling to the ground, and the referee was so busy!

In the East, the 76ers took advantage of their home court advantage to win another game.
The 76ers' strategy in this game is still the same, which is to leave Rose short and shoot to prevent breakthroughs!
Rose has only played three games since his return, and this is his fourth.
It's very difficult for a player who can't shoot accurately to find his sights in four games!
The 76ers have recognized one truth, that is, it is not unfair to be killed by Rose, but it is stupid to be killed suddenly by Rose!
The 76ers are ranked eighth and the Bulls are ranked first. The 76ers are a disadvantaged team and are definitely not as strong as the Bulls.
In this case, if you want to win, you can only win by surprise!
To put it bluntly, it’s gambling!
Bet on Rose not making the shot!
Anyway, the 76ers have nothing to lose!
If Rose shoots accurately, that's because he's great. If he loses, he'll admit it!
Rose can't shoot accurately, and the 76ers will make a lot of money if they win!
The result is that the 76ers won the bet!
Rose still couldn't shoot accurately, and the more he couldn't shoot accurately, the more anxious he became, and the more anxious he became, the more he shot...
There was no way, the 76ers were very thorough, and Holiday had to take almost three steps back!
This is simply insulting to a star!
If you don't vote in this situation, you are insulting the opponent's intelligence!
Ross's character has always been fearless of heaven and earth, and there is nothing he dare not do.
Unfortunately, today is not Rose's night, he can't make any shot!
Rose failed to make a shot, and the 76ers grabbed long rebounds to counterattack!
Although the Bulls' defense was very good, the 76ers did a good job in preparation and they still launched several fast break counterattacks.
Coupled with the home court advantage, the 76ers also took several more free throws than the Bulls. In the end, they won the game 79:72.
The series score between the two teams also became 3:1, and the 76ers took the lead in getting the match point.

If it weren't for the disparity in strength, and if the team didn't perform stably, it would be very difficult to sweep away the opponents!
