The final game ended on the 26th, and the 11/12 season officially came to an end.
This veteran of the Spurs has shown his seasoned ability to control the court. In the face of injuries and aging lineups, he has shown steady intimidation. When he does not need home court advantage, he is playing healthy basketball. He needs home court advantage to increase his post-season performance. When the team had an advantage in the competition, it was invincible in the world. With a record of 52 wins and 14 losses, it won the first place in the regular season.
The Bulls also had a record of 52 wins and 14 losses, but lost a small number of points against the Spurs, and Rose's team had to succumb.
After all, if Rose is not injured and only plays 39 games and loses 17 games, what can other teams use to compete with the Bulls?
Compared with the Bulls, the Thunder will no longer be aggrieved. They will not feel sad because they have been the leader for more than three months and only lost the first place in the regular season in the last two weeks.
Of course, Durant is probably a little injured. After all, he was once ranked first on the regular season MVP list. As a result, he has now fallen to third place.
Regular season MVP and scoring champion, he could have wanted both, but in order to preserve his personal honor, he had no choice...
Fortunately, with his efforts in the last week, he averaged 28 points per game and retained the scoring title. Durant continued his three consecutive scoring titles.
Kobe was only 0.1 points shy of his average points per game and lost the honor of the scoring champion. It can only be said that the competition for the scoring champion is too dangerous.
Ranked fourth is the Heat. James' team only achieved 49 wins and 17 losses. After all, Wade also suffered from injuries and only played 49 games.
】
If you play 52 games.
Well, it's really hard to say who will take first place in the regular season.
It can only be said that under the influence of injuries, the Spurs have the blessing of an excellent team and have performed more steadily.
The Spurs and Mavericks have determined the first and second positions in the Western Conference, and the rankings of other teams have also been released.
The Lakers ranked third, with only 41 wins and 25 losses.
Ranked fourth is the Grizzlies, also with 41 wins and 25 losses. After all, in terms of division record, the Grizzlies are not as good as the Spurs, but the Lakers are first in the Pacific Division minor leagues. The Grizzlies I have no choice but to give in.
Of course, there is not much of a gap between them and the teams competing for the championship.
The Clippers are ranked fifth, with 38 wins and 28 losses, which is considered their own choice.
The Nuggets have no choice. They are also ranked 6th with 38 wins and 28 losses, but they have to challenge the Lakers, their nemesis.
The Mavericks also made a selection in the last round. They won, with a record of 36 wins and 30 losses, and secured the seventh position, and will face the Thunder.
After all, referring to last season's matchup, the young Thunder team is easy to manipulate.
When playing against the Spurs, I don't have that confidence. Even if the Spurs have a lot of problems, no one dares to choose to face the Spurs in the playoffs.
The Jazz had no choice. After sending away Deron and Buzebu, the new two evils of Utah, and rebuilding, they had already earned money by being able to reach the playoffs.
You can touch anyone!
In the 2011/12 season, the first round of the playoffs started on the 28th, highlighting the word "quick".
You know, in previous years, the game usually started before the 20th. This season has been postponed for more than a week, and there is still room for the team to rest.
The first round matchups of the Western Conference playoffs are as follows:
Spurs vs Jazz!
Thunder vs. Mavericks!
Lakers vs. Nuggets!
Grizzlies vs. Clippers!
…
The Thunder's 12-man playoff roster is officially announced.
Center: Perkins, Muhammad, Cole Aldridge.
Power forward: Yin Baka, Collison.
Small forward: Durant, Sefolosha.
Shooting Guards: Su Bei, Harden.
Point Guards: Westbrook, Billups, Royal Evey.
As soon as the lineup came out, it immediately showed the Thunder's terrifying perimeter strength.
There is the scoring leader Durant, who averages 28 points, 8 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.
Westbrook had 22 points, 4.5 assists and 4 rebounds. As a scorer, he also has the appearance of a superstar.
Of course, he is a bit weak as an organizer.
Fortunately, the Thunder don't need an organization, they are quite strong if they work alone.
Su Bei had 18 points, 3 assists and 4 rebounds. Judging from the Mavericks era, it has dropped by more than 100 million points. Fortunately, he did not lose the face of a senior role player and is still responsible for the appearance of the Thunder.
You said it’s not as good as looks!
All right!
The one with the most stable three-pointers and the handsomest one.
Harden averaged 15 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game, showing his talents as a super sixth man.
Coupled with Billups averaging 8 points and 5 assists per game, and Sefolosha's defense...
The Thunder's outside line is the only one in the league in terms of combat effectiveness.
It's a pity that the inside is holding the Thunder back.
Yin Baka is the strongest in the team, scoring 8 points and 8 rebounds. These statistics and style cannot be said to be similar to the Eight Wise Kings, they can only be said to be exactly the same.
The remaining Perkins averaged 5 wins and 5 rebounds per game, and Muhammad had 3 points and 3 rebounds... nothing.
It was confirmed that Su Bei would face the Mavericks during the break. After all, he was too familiar with the situation of his old club. Although Vince Carter was a variable, he felt that he could defeat the opponent.
April 28, Chesapeake Center Arena.
Night falls.
At this time, the home court of the Thunder was about to usher in the opening game of the 11/12 season playoffs against the Mavericks. The lights were bright and there was a sea of people.
During the warm-up, Durant and Nowitzki chatted and laughed, talking about a few cents, and they felt like they were together.
Kidd, on the other hand, was more calm. He added a few cents and immediately returned to talking about a few cents.
Su Bei couldn't hide. After all, he brought the talent to win the championship to the Dallas Mavericks.
Say hello to Nowitz, Kidd, Marion, Terry, etc.
We didn't go to the same school together, but we had the friendship of carrying a gun together. We must not skip the time when we should talk about a few cents.
At this time, the starting lineups of both sides for tonight's match were also displayed on the big screen in the arena.
The Mavericks' starting five are Haywood, Nowitzki, Marion, Delonte West, and Kidd.
The Thunder's starting five are Yin Baka, Durant, Su Bei, Billups, and Westbrook.
This game was broadcast live by TNT Radio. Barkley partnered with Kenny Smith and invited Jeff Van Gundy and O'Neal as guests to form a commentary team.
"There's nothing to say. One is young and invincible, and the other is old.
I guess the winning percentage is 82, with the Thunder at 8 and the Mavericks at 2.
With this winning rate, it still gives the defending champion face. Otherwise, I think it is reasonable to give him a score of 100. "
"No, that's not right!
I don’t think so, I think it’s a 50-50 split.
Don't laugh, I have my reasons, and they are real money.
Even Barkley knows that the Mavericks will definitely lose to the Thunder in this series.
Others, most of the world, think so.
But what if the Mavericks treat Game 1 as a series-deciding showdown? "
"You are saying that the Mavericks will fight to the death in this game, and then use the psychological advantage of being ahead to control the field, so that the young and contemptuous Thunder team will lose the series before they can react because they cannot withstand the pressure. Game?
Your point of view is very reasonable and scientific.
After all, this is the only way the Mavericks can go.
In that case, it is indeed a 50-50 split. "
“Never underestimate the heart of a championship, especially the heart of an old boy.
If the Thunder underestimate the Mavericks, they are likely to get a head-on blow..."
The game begins!
Beep——!
When the whistle sounded, the referee threw the basketball high in the air. Nowitzki defeated Yin Baka and got the ball for the Mavericks' first attack.
Kidd controlled the ball and took the ball slowly to the arc, but was guarded by Billups.
Su Bei focused on Marion.
He ran to the three-point line in the left corner and chatted about a few cents.
"I bet you don't have a three-point shot and can't contain my help defense!"
"No need to bet, I really don't have one!
Whether in the Suns or the Mavericks, I never had a solid three-pointer.
Don't point it out, we are still good friends. "
"All right!
Since we are good friends, I will take my time in this fight. You can use your tail juice, but don't break our tacit understanding. "
"..."
On the left, one was handsome and the other was ugly. They chatted as if there was no one around in the three-point area in the bottom corner. They had no sense of public morality at all.
However, it makes sense!
Whether it's the Thunder or the Mavericks, the main point of attack does not lie with the two of them.
Sure enough, Kidd called West's name and passed the basketball.
"Driving the ball to drive past Westbrook, Westbrook, who is more physically gifted, fought and retreated, using a tight press to stop West's breakthrough.
Hey, I went in and jumped out again.
The basketball returned to Kidd's hands. At this time, Nowitzki moved from the left to the right without the ball. Kidd made a screen from the top arc and handed the basketball hand to Nowitzki. hands.
Durant was too thin and was pushed away by Kidd. Billups could only switch defense, but it was of no use..."
This was a misplacement. He lifted the ball and swung it, mobilizing Billups' defensive focus. He immediately dribbled the ball in and broke through. Billups followed up, but he didn't panic. He turned around and gave him a butt, then squeezed forward, and then , shake his shoulders, turn around, jump up, raise his hand and shoot a Golden Rooster independent fadeaway jumper...
No matter how hard Billups tried, he could only hear the gunshot in the end. This position was too misplaced.
You can't stand it!
Swish——!
With the knife in hand, Nowitzki used his signature gesture to treat Billups to a meal.
The Mavericks took the lead in opening their scoring account.
2 to 0!
"pretty!
Very nice team offense.
Although Nowitzki's personal ability scored in the end, the details of teamwork were simple and beautiful, showing the style of the defending champion.
From West's dribbling breakthrough, to Kidd's screen support to regain the ball, to Nowitzki's mismatch and post-up goal, the offensive essence of the 2011 championship Mavericks team was displayed. The most vivid and vivid..."
First, the ddm tactics made the Thunder's defense exhausted. Then they used Kidd's court control organization, and then used Nowitzki's all-around offensive ability as a free agent in all areas, and made steady jump shots...
What do you use to top it?
You can't stand it!
The original framework and system of this Mavericks team have actually not changed.
This tactical system that can win a championship still has a few things in it.
At least the Mavericks have solved the problem of not having a solid corner three.
If Su Bei wants to help defend and attack Nowitzki with Durant, it is very likely that they will not be able to do so.
Not even a possibility, but a certainty.
In just the first round, coach Carlisle showed himself to be a master tactician!
In comparison, Scott Brooks' blind Ji Ba random fighting tactics are too weak.
