Chapter 721 The end of the first round

All awards for the regular season of the 2010-2011 season were awarded, and the Los Angeles Clippers and the New Jersey Nets also entered the second round. The first round data of the two brothers was naturally put together by the media for a good comparison.

Ji Guoqiu averaged 26 points, 17 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 blocks, and 3 turnovers, shooting percentage of 55.2%, three-point shooting percentage of 56.3%, and free throw shooting percentage of 100%.

Ji Guomeng averaged 35.6 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, 1 steal and 4 turnovers in four playoffs, with a shooting percentage of 55.5%, a three-point shooting percentage of 57.1%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 100%.

The personal data of the two brothers is not impressive, and there is no need to mention it anymore. Their data is very consistent with their respective characteristics, just like the number and number 24 that year. However, when selecting MVP, they were also surprisingly similar to the past. The more versatile Panda brother was always favored by experts from all walks of life, and the other one was inevitably labeled as "independent".

On the same day when the Nets advanced, the Thunder returned to home and finally defeated the Grizzlies in overtime. The script of this game was surprisingly consistent with the first game of the two teams. Griffin was sent out of the field without a single point in overtime, and Gasol Jr. was even more unbearable. The Bears only contributed two mistakes in overtime, but also failed to score a single point.

After the game, some fans joked that the Thunder would take great effort to win the Grizzlies, but the Grizzlies won the Thunder two games like cutting melons and vegetables, so the Thunder is now leading 3:2. It’s really hard to say that they will definitely eliminate their opponents and enter the second round.

Westbrook's performance in this game is not inferior to Durant. He has been crazily breaking through the ball all the game. It can be said that Westbrook is the main weapon for the Thunder to destroy the Grizzlies' inside line. Standing on the free throw line 16 times is the best answer given by Westbrook.

Of course, no matter how good Westbrook performs, Durant is the real core of the Thunder.

It is no secret that the Thunder Core has always wanted to compete with the Animal Brothers, but judging from these playoff games, Durant and Westbrook's performance is not as stable as the Animal Brothers.

Last summer, Kobe visited the South African World Cup. James was busy performing in the ESPN, while the Animal Brothers were training in Canada. Durant finally seized the time when there was no king in the mountains and enjoyed his glory at the Turkey World Championship.

At the Turkish World Championships, Durant successfully won the MVP. As Lao K said, veteran players such as Chauncey Billups were the leader, while Durant led the team forward in offense. In the official survey of NBA before this season, 13 of the 28 general managers of the league believed that Durant would win the regular season scoring champion in the 2010-11 season.

It may be that the number "13" is not very good in the United States. The honor of the scoring king was eventually taken away by Ji Guohumiliation, and Durant, who returned to Russia, is no longer the center of the world. Although his leadership style in the team has not changed, there have always been people who want to replace it.

In this game, Durant scored 7 points in overtime, which was the biggest contributor to the team's victory. Unfortunately, in the impression of mainstream media after the game, his performance was still slightly inferior to the Animal Brothers, as well as the traditional three Dwyne Wade, James and Kobe.

The San Antonio Spurs faced Chris Paul who broke out in every game, and still relied on the absolute advantage of the inside, successfully pulled out the Hornets' sting with a total score of 4:1.

Duncan was in an amazing form in the fifth game, making 13 of 21 shots, especially in the third quarter, making 6 of 6 shots, scoring 36 points and 15 rebounds in the game. In addition to his outstanding offensive performance, Duncan also allowed Andrew Bynum to commit 6 offenses after only 20 minutes.

In this battle, Duncan achieved his peak "Stone Buddha" level. Chris Paul could only sigh and scream incredible at the post-match press conference.

Chris Paul lost to Duncan like this, and naturally there was nothing to say. But it is worth mentioning that the Queen Bee fell in the playoffs again this year. His "super giant" name has once again been questioned by fans and the media.

NBA history, from ancient times to the present, no super giant has not been able to play in the division finals. Those superstars who have not won the championship have at least entered the division finals or finals.

So to put it bluntly, Chris Paul can't touch the floor of the Western Conference Finals for a day, and he is not a real superstar.

The first round of the Eastern Conference is also coming to an end. The Knicks and the Heat both won at their respective home courts. The difference is that the Heat won the match point 3:2, but the Knicks only chased the total score to 2:3.

The lives of the New Yorkers are still hanging on the front line. The next life-and-death battle is at the Celtics' home court. If this battle is not good, the Big Three New York will still become the first giant team to go home to fish, and it is embarrassing that it has not even made it through the first round.

On April 28, all three teams in the east and west had completed the battle of the kings, and in the end no team eliminated their opponents and entered the second round.

On April 29, the sixth match of the first round began again, and the first one was the Thunder vs. Grizzlies.

When the Thunder came to the away game, they really couldn't play. They were in a tough battle again in Memphis, and the team's two arrows were completely gone.

Coach Brooks also had some changes in this game. First, Durant tried a new position. He even served as point guard and shooting guard in the game. Durant was very confident when he served as a defender, but the results he got were not good in the end.

Durant's main scoring method is still shooting, but under the brutal defense of the Grizzlies players at home, Durant's sight is always wrong.

From this point of view, Durant is really not as good as Ji Guomo. At least the little fox can create a threat by breaking through when playing against the Grizzlies, but Durant cannot successfully attack the basket under high-intensity defense. In today's game, he broke through several times with the ball, and finally dropped the ball under the timely double-team of the Grizzlies players.

The second attack point of the Thunder, or Westbrook, who is the second in command, seems to have a little confidence swell after the crazy outbreak of the last game. Moreover, after losing the second game in the past few days, there are even rumors in the Thunder that Westbrook has always thought he is better than Durant. This may be the reason why he often has a lot of confidence.

Of course, everyone doesn't have to pay too much attention to it. Just look at Westbrook's radical style of play in this game, and you can understand how eager he is to prove his ability on the court. That's right, he scored 20 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds in the whole game. But don't forget that he has 7 turnovers, and his shooting percentage is only an astonishingly low 6 of 22 shots.

For this game, you can ignore Westbrook's reasonable performance in the first half. His breakthrough, his assists and his emergency jump shots all performed well. But in fact, his mind was already revealed in the first half. Although the shooting percentage of 5 of 12 shots is reasonable, the balls he lost were almost blindly shots against the Grizzlies' three-man defense. Another thing that must be mentioned is that Westbrook's 5 rebounds in the game, including 3 frontcourt rebounds, were all contributed in the first half.

Westbrook made 22 shots in the whole game, only 6 goals, while in the first half he made 12 shots and 5 shots. I believe that even the physical education teacher could calculate at this time, Westbrook played in the second half.

If the Thunder want to win this season, the Gemini must have a good performance, and then someone on the substitute can stand up. But today, only one Harden performs well. Ibaka and Chandler have become like Durant and Westbrook when they arrive away.

The Grizzlies once again used defense to teach the Thunder a lesson at home. The two teams will then have a tiebreak battle, and this time the Thunder plays at home. The media is still more optimistic about the Thunder. Neither of these two teams have lost at home so far.

Neither the Thunder nor the Grizzlies won the away game, and the Knicks in the East finally won the away game today.

The New Yorkers finally turned defeat into victory this time. They relied on Anthony's 16 points in the final quarter to complete a big comeback. The role of the superstar finally played a role.

Garnett and Pierce have a hard time playing superstar performance this season. Although Rondo is well organized, he has no shooting ability. The Knicks chose to completely let Rondo go from mid- and long-distance shooting on the defensive end today.

D'Antoni's choice received a miracle effect. Rondo made 6 of 17 shots in the game, which seemed to be a bit bad at first. But if he knew that Rondo made all six goals and did not hit a 12-foot shot in the whole game, he would probably not think so.

Miami Heat beat the Magic away. Howard was double-teamed by the Heat inside and outside the home today. Spoelstra took out a method of trapping beasts that had been prepared to limit Howard's performance.

The so-called method of trapping beasts is actually nothing special. The tactics that many teams have used are nothing more than strengthening the internal and external defense against Howard and controlling the passing route from the Magic's outside line to the inside line.

Howard was targeted by other teams very early, so there are naturally ways to deal with it. As long as you strengthen the pass to the outside, if other Magic players can bear fruit on the outside, this kind of defense will be defeated without attack.

In order not to let the Magic steal the outside, Spoelstra almost exhausted James and Wade in this game. The Heat allowed these two superstars to move and defend without any effort, and relied on their outstanding explosive power to solve the problem of space on the outside.

James played for 45 minutes in this game, Wade and Bosh played for 44 minutes. The Heat team was able to win, and the final result was the three giants' physical attack and defense. But no matter what, the Heat team eliminated the Magic and successfully entered the second round.

After the six games in the first round, the situation of the Western Conference:

4 Los Angeles Clippers vs Los Angeles Lakers 0

4 Dallas Mavericks vs Houston Rockets 0

3 Oklahoma City Thunder vs Memphis Grizzlies 3

1 New Orleans Hornets vs San Antonio Spurs 4

Eastern battle situation:

4 New Jersey Nets vs Indian Pacers 1

4 Chicago Bulls vs Atlanta Hawks 1

3 New York Knicks vs Boston Celtics 3

4 Miami Heat vs Orlando Magic 2

On April 30, the seventh game of the first round of the playoffs started, and this time there were only four teams left in the league.

The Thunder and the Grizzlies had a tiebreak battle, and the Oklahomas shouldn't have expected it in advance. Fortunately, the seventh game was played at home, and the Thunder generals had enough confidence in their home court.

The Grizzlies were a little worried about gains and losses today. In the previous three away games, they lost because they could not control too much fouls, and their physical strength was also a big trouble that bothered them. The main method of the Grizzlies defeating the Thunder at home was tough defense, but at the home court, it was difficult to avoid fouls, and it would consume a lot of physical strength. If they could not fight quickly, they would be dragged to death.

In this game, Griffin and Gasol Jr. were restricted in the inside, but in the end, the Grizzlies' performance was not as good as the previous away games. At least two of the previous three away games, they played overtime with the Thunder in overtime, but after the eggs shrank today, the Grizzlies completely made the Thunder players play crazy at home.

The Grizzlies players' fouls today were faster than the first three games. After the first half, Griffin and Gasol Jr. made three fouls, and the Grizzlies were also 20 points behind the Thunder.

In the second half, Mayo's outbreak shocked the Thunder, but when it comes to substitute strength, the Thunder seems to be more confident.

In the third quarter, Harden, the bearded man, first used a strong sense of rhythm to score four points, and then scored 6 points through long shots outside the three-point line. The Grizzlies players let Harden hide behind the Gemini and shoot easily. The bearded man efficiently scored 10 points in the third quarter, ruining the Grizzlies' only chance to turn the tables.

The Thunder entered the final quarter with a nearly 20-point lead, and the game completely lost suspense. With Durant's several shots in the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies could only accept the fate of being eliminated.

The only two teams in the Western Conference that reached the tiebreaker, eventually entered the second round with the Thunder's record of losing both away and winning all at home.

There are also two teams in the East that have reached the tiebreak. Today, the Knicks are in the Madison Garden Arena to fight the Celtics.

In this game, Deron Williams and Stoudemire both broke out, and the two giants helped the Knicks beat the Celtics at home.

But it was Garnett who really decided the outcome of this game. The Wolf King was injured after colliding with Xiao Si in the second half, then left the court and went to the locker room for treatment, and did not come back until the end of the game.

Stoudemire lost Garnett's defense, scoring 18 points and 9 rebounds in the inside in the second half, contributing 28 points and 14 rebounds in the whole game, which shows Garnett's role in the Celtics. The Celtics were also hit with a scoring drought after Garnett was injured.

The Celtics were both internal and external lines today and Garnett's injury retreat became the last straw that broke the camels' back. The Celtics, a team that started the 21st century giant group, finally declared a failure.

After the game, the media generally believed that the old Celtics' best chance to advance was in Game 5. At that time, they still had the last strength to kill the Knicks, but the Celtics themselves failed to seize the best chance. When the game reached Game 6, the strong and weak roles of the two teams began to change. The three Knicks, who were under great pressure, finally entered the game state, while the Celtics began to enter the stage of powerlessness.
