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 played against the Pistons' five tigers alone. He was not jerky and was still 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, they are only one game away from reaching the Eastern Conference Finals.
James' talent made Pat come to see him with a sharp eye.
Facing the Big Five of the 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 2005/06 season, various awards were unveiled one after another.
Regular season MVP, finally connected by Nash.
To be fair, the Suns' record of 54 wins and 28 losses is not dominant. They only rank fourth in the league, with the 64-win Pistons, 63-win Spurs and 60-win Mavericks weighing on them.
And there is only 54 wins, which is still far behind last season's 62 wins.
Fortunately, Nash has no opponents who can beat him.
The Pistons Five?
No one has both good looks and strength.
Duncan of the Spurs can get it, but he only has 22 points and 10 rebounds, which is ordinary. You are Duncan. This kind of performance is simply a joke. 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 for this MVP.
After all, last season's Cavaliers were unable to make it to the playoffs and improved to 50 wins this season. However, he is too young, just like Wade.
Moreover, the selection criteria this year 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, and Quentin Richardson was sent to the Knicks. As a result, Kurt Thomas was reimbursed in 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 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 was revealed.
Bogut, Channing Fletcher, Su Bei, Paul, Deron Williams.
Su Bei had the last laugh, kicking the white-browed hero Nuraviva who could only 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 confirmed, and it was the Pistons as expected.
In the tiebreaker, the Cavaliers were guarded to the point of doubting their lives. The team only scored 61 points, while the Pistons scored 78 points, which taught the young James a lesson.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
In addition, there is good news 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 rookies in 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. Before all the opponents fall, you can't relax at all.
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, can the B+ level body be used instead? "
In fact, you can be more confident, but it’s really not enough.
The other opponent is the little prince Prince, who is in a strange state.
It can be said that he is 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 huge, 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 Arena of Auburn Hills is filled with people and 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 Big Ben of the Pistons.
Others want to chat about a few cents, but they really can't.
Ben is from the golden generation of 1996, but he is an undrafted player, and he is no match for 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 not be able to talk about brotherly basketball.
Well, the villain dies because he talks too much, so he might as well just do it.
At this time, the starting lineups of both sides for tonight's match were also displayed on the big screen in the arena.
The Pistons' starting 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. Laili cannot put two shooters on the court. Posey has no chance. Su Bei is just a rookie and there is no way he will start in the starting lineup.
The most important thing in the game is defense.
This game was 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. As long as 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 the 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 are still playing the original 'correct basketball'. I am worried that the Pistons are in too deep a position 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 with his back, 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 failure and can only stare.
Bang-dang——!
The basketball shot missed.
Tielu didn't care. The Pistons never looked at offense to win. As long as they defended well, they couldn't lose.
No matter how strong the attack is, there will always be a time when it breaks in.
