Unpredictable Top 4 Title Contenders
Chapter 1451:Unpredictable Top 4 Title Contenders
The second round of the playoffs is in full swing.
The first two games of each series were played, basically setting the tone of the second round, and today there were two completely unpredictable second round.
It’s hard to say about the game.
Before the second home game, everyone thought that the Bulls would take a 2-0 lead, and the Eagles could only find a way to drag the game into the Battle of Tianwang Mountain when they returned home.
But I did not expect the Bulls to be slashed by Liu Yan by 65 points, so that the Eagles set a new high for the Bulls to lose points in the playoffs this season.
After the dance, in the shouts of the fans at the scene, the referee urged the two teams to play quickly.
There was also some reluctant Maddie who took off the dance suit outside in the black face of coach Kruger and went to the field to shoot hot hands.
By 7:30, the Bulls players, who had been angry to the extreme, and the Eagles players who had struggled to adjust their emotions back to the game, began the third game of the series.
When people thought the Eagles, who had already won 1-1, would take advantage of the victory and chase, the Eagles spit back on the home advantage 82-91.
Returning to the home of the Eagles started very poorly, the first quarter only got 9 points, trying to Liu Yan's in-line singles as the starting tactic of the Eagles, this choice error, did not as expected to strengthen the key to the last win.
There is also a key point, Liu Yan's pre-game dance, so that Maddie back on the "Latin dance king" title, become the fourth largest dance king in the NBA after Liu Yan, Prince, James, but let the Bulls play the most crazy defense of this year's playoffs.
The first quarter 9 to 20 behind 11 points, so that the Eagles are in a passive state, although the third quarter of Liu Yan single 11 points, Jason Terry and Madi in the fourth quarter of the joint cut 20 points, but also can not recover the defeat.
18 points, 11 boards and 6 assists, Liu Yan only shot 6 of 24 in the whole game, the key reason for the loss of this game is Liu Yan this point.
Of course, after the game, Liu Yan also took the initiative to take responsibility.
“If only I had to give a few more...”
Liu Yan's words, should have been the headline, even if it is not Liu Yan's headline, should be the bulls to take the headlines on the road.
But this time, it was the "Latin Dance King" that made headlines...
...
On the other side of the Nuggets, it was easy 3-0 and the away 121-111 defeated the Warriors.
The Eagles lost at home, the home advantage was sent out, and by the time of May 9, Liu Yan began to practice low.
The last time he still wanted to play low, the result in the reaction and action compared to the last one there is a gap, although he worked hard the day before, or a lot of poor Kobe, but too confident, the low was hit only 6 1, floating to the outside line just hit the other side's defensive strategy.
At least to maintain a certain low hit rate, and to better find a solution to the defensive strategy shown by the Bulls in the third game, Liu Yan is studying these things on the rest day of the 9th.
On the evening of the 9th, the Cavaliers and Magic, Lakers and Suns played the third game of the series.
Back at home, the Magic did not give the Cavaliers a chance, this time even James is only 25, 7 points, less than 30% of the shooting rate, only 19 points, 7 boards and 6 assists, the Cavaliers only two people scored a double, James's 19 points and Larry Hughes' 22 points, Peja only got 9 points, the playoffs in the teammate play bad situation, Peja as soft as ever.
76 to 95, Cavaliers lost to the Magic by 19 points.
The Lakers on the other side, to the away game, but played more fierce, Gasol today is not soft, not as afraid of O'Neal and Josh Smith's physical confrontation as before only floating in the outside line shooting pass, this time he fought to the inside line, Yao Ming and Kobe also have been to the inside line, the opening caused O'Neal two fouls, so that the Suns rotation there is a huge problem.
To get a new high of 18 points in the series of Gasol and 33 points of Yao Ming, as well as caused the Suns inside the line 6 fouls, the whole court got 14 free throws Kobe, coupled with this round of the series averaging 15 rebounds of Odom, with Wang Zhiyi, Radmanovic, Fisher and other pitchers outside the open shot to grasp the case, with 128 to 115, 13 points, the home advantage again.
The Eagles lost unexpectedly, the Cavaliers played 1-2 behind in three games, and few people thought before the start of the second round that it was unexpected that the Lakers played better away after the home defeat.
And the Nuggets have been 3-0 and a half foot into the division final, and no one wants to get...
Iverson just went to the Nuggets to help the Nuggets play to this point, basically can be determined to equal the 84-85 season Alex-Ingleth and Kelvin Knight to create a team record to reach the division finals, which makes Iverson after the transformation of the evaluation has been greatly improved.
...
The second most suspenseful second round in the new century
After the third game of the second round, the NBA officially gave such an assessment.
No one could have predicted what would happen next, with the Eagles and the Suns grabbing a home advantage in the first two away games, but the Bulls and the Lakers grabbed home advantage back in the first game of their next road trip.
That is to say, at least play the fifth game, and the Eagles and the Suns have a better performance than home, which really does not say which two teams in these two rounds of the series can advance.
Judging from the first three games of the second round, the four teams of the Eagles, the Bulls, the Suns and the Lakers are undoubtedly the biggest hit of the championship this season.
Even if the Nuggets enter the Western Conference, the probability is not the Sun or the Lakers opponent.
If the Magic team has killed the Cavaliers and entered the East, it is unlikely to be an opponent of the Eagles or the Bulls.
The Magic regular season and the two teams are 1-3, even if they correct the second half of the season after Tekogg, encountering pull or the Bulls, they also lost very badly.
Four championship big hot teams will be tied to the second round, which in the last 12 years of the playoffs, or the first time, especially this year there are Mavericks first round black eight, another division of the first Cavaliers will also be close to 20 games of the Magic team to kill the situation, this year's playoffs more and more attractive.
...
On May 10, the Eagles hosted the fourth game of the Bulls' series.
Saying more, Liu Yan really started to wave this time!
Not only Liu Yan, Madi, Jason Terry on the field, but also with Liu Yan began to wave.
The two-wave combination becomes the wave-than-squake!
And in the fourth game, the Eagles' tactical strategy has been greatly adjusted.
Before the second time of the regular season, Liu Yan realized that the bull team should adhere to the principle of their own play, the other side wants to drag the game into the defensive war, from their own side can not be brought in, to adhere to the principle of offensive play.
The first three games of the playoffs have been played like this.
However, the playoff penalty scale is much more relaxed than the regular season, the Eagles have two popular superstars on this side, but Garnett is also a popular superstar, so in addition to the home whistle, the penalty scale in the two home has not changed much, very loose, very conducive to defense.
In the third game, the Eagles lost the ball, and did not grasp the tactical mistakes arranged by the blowing penalty scale, and they would only get 9 points in the first quarter.
But this time, the Eagles did not play tactics, opened the Mavericks-style offensive tactics, and the ball was absolutely concentrated on the three eagles offensive tactics.
On the other hand, this time the Eagles put a pit of four defensive squads and five defensive generals of the lineup, that is, Jason Terry was present, the other four positions are sent to the best defensive players, Liu Yan and Maddie two debut Jason Terry, the other three positions try to send the best defensive players.
Physically or whatever it is!
Marion and Quamet Brown had almost no rest, and the outside was on the waves!
Liu Yan played very stingy today, fighting for his life to steal the attacking rebound, and not afraid of injury, he was shot on the floor several times by Ben Wallace and Big Z, Garnett and others.
There are still real injuries, but Liu Yan now has injury agents, superstar values, was attacked and injured immediately cured, get up and fight again.
The hit rate is still general, but Liu Yan learned another 24's lifeless play, and got 15 free throws in a single game!
15 penalty 12, shooting 27, 3 points, 3, the whole game to get 33 points and 14 boards, including 6 offensive rebounds, plus Maddie's 21 points, Jason Terry's 18 points, the Eagles 102 to 89, the difficult to hold the second home!
...
In the next four games, the Eagles and Bulls played 2-2 and did not get the desired "roar" feature to counter Garnett's annoying "roar".
Liu Yan did not like Garnett at all, but I have to say that if the team got Garnett last summer, there is basically no suspense in this season's championship, there is Garnett, there will be no lack of "morality" such a thing, although not pleasing, if there is such a villain image of teammates, any championship team, there is a huge improvement.
Moreover, this is the fourth superstar of active players after Kobe, Liu Yan himself and Duncan.
Liu Yan believes that the original Green Army three giants, if the Garnett replaced any super power forward except Duncan, they have no chance to win the championship, 32-year-old Garnett also got the best defensive player, is the key to winning the championship.
After all, Pierce and Ray Allen, up to the sky is two-team strength, and many years of double, won the MVP of Garnett, a grade is more than one grade.
After four games, Liu Xuan had expected that this round of the series would be difficult, but... I didn't expect it to be more difficult than I thought!
