1023.
On June 2, the Heat defeated the Celtics 97-7 at home, thus advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals with a total score of 4l.
This is the first time the Heat have entered the Eastern Conference Finals since 2UU. Dwayne Wade and LeBron James finally took revenge on the Celtics. James took charge of the last 10 points, contributing 33 points and 7 rebounds in the game, Dwayne Wade scored 34 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, and Chris Bosh scored 14 points.
The Celtics didn't score a single point in the last 4 minutes and 2 seconds, and were scored by the Heat, and collapsed. Rajon Rondo failed to play in the last quarter and only scored 6 points, Lei Helun scored 18 points, Kevin T.Nate scored 15 points and 1 rebounds, and Paul Pierce scored 2 points.
The Heat are full of revenge for the Celtics, especially the stars Wade and James. In the past few years, both have been suppressed by the Celtics. Now they have finally crushed the Celtics mountain and successfully entered the Eastern Conference Finals.
The next day, on June 13, another player in the Eastern Conference Finals was also released. The Bulls defeated the Hawks 93-way away, thus advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals with 42, and will fight the Heat, led by the new "Big Three".
The Bulls entered the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 196, and since the "Flying Man" Michael Jordan won the finals for the last time, they finally entered the Eastern Conference Finals again.
Derek Ross scored 19 points and 2 assists, Carlos Boozer scored 2 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, Lore points, and Jockin Noah ll scored 6 rebounds.
The Hawks failed and stopped in the second round for three consecutive years. Joe Johnson scored 19 points, Josh Smith scored 18 points, and others failed to score double-digit points, Al Horford made only 2 of 10 shots, scoring 7 points and 4 rebounds.
Before the game, the Hawks were full of confidence. They wanted to push their opponent into the seventh game, and they believed that the pressure of the seventh game was on the Bulls' side. Unfortunately, the Hawks themselves were too stressed and failed in the sixth game. The seventh game became empty talk, making the young Rose in vain.
In this way, the list of the East-West finals was released, the Warriors Mavericks and the Heat Bulls.
If you look closely at these four teams, it is actually only the Mavericks who are alternative. In contrast, the other three can be said to be the youth army. The Mavericks are stubbornly defending the dignity of traditional powerful men. If it weren't for them, then the NHA could enter a new era.
The Lakers, Spurs, Rockets, Suns, and other veteran teams have become yesterday's yellow flowers
Over the years, the Mavericks have been quite unlucky. They have always had strength, outstanding players, and wise coaches who are good at combining the team into a whole, and can also achieve a record of 6 wins.
However, even if these elements are all superimposed, not many people still take them seriously. Dallas is the third in the West and has a record of the Lakers. However, the world seems to be just a high-end player all the way.
As for the championship? Don’t even think about it. No wonder before the Western Conference semi-finals, Los Angeles media said with a little contempt: "The Lakers actually don’t need to go all out to compete for the rankings. Anyway, even if they win the league first, we have enough strength to treat them."
As a result, the Lakers missed their heads, and it turned out that they were snatched, and then they were shaved with a terrible bald head by the Mavericks, and suffered the first semi-final sweep in the 21st century.
This is not a surprising thing. Looking at the Mavericks' lineup, it can be regarded as a strong military appearance: Nowitzki is not old, Chandler has played his best season since leaving Paul, Terry, Marion and others also perform their own duties. In addition, with the strength substitutes like Old Kidd, Barrea, and Heywood, the Mavericks have the ability to compete with any team in theory.
Look at their record against the top Eastern Conference powerhouses, with Bulls 1I and Magic 1I and Celtics and Heat both 20 and these records are enough to prove their strength.
However, the league seems to not take the Mavericks in their eyes. They unexpectedly swept the Lakers, but they still did not attract the attention of fans and experts. In fact, a large part of the reason for this situation is that the Mavericks do not have their own label.
The Warriors are kings in the world, the Spurs are getting stronger, the Lakers are indomitable, the Heat are gathering, the Bulls are rising, and the Celtics are in a solid lineup...
Only Mavericks, it is really difficult for fans to use an adjective to describe them. Even if there is one, it is still the kind of derogatory words, such as soft bosses, pseudo-strong teams, losing their chains at critical moments and not being able to fight tough battles.
It's a bit similar to the protagonist in a tragic novel. The Mavericks are always more determined than the sky and their life is thinner than paper. Especially after experiencing a series of tragedies such as being black eight and being reversed in the finals, Dallas people are filled with tragic colors.
In the game against the Lakers, the Mavericks have also made their name clear. You should know that even the Warriors have not swept the Lakers, but the Mavericks have done it.
However, this time in the Western Conference Finals, when the Mavericks and the Warriors stood together, even the most confident Mavericks fans were also upset.
The reason is too simple. I went back four years. At that time, the one who was blacklisted was the Warriors and was a Warriors with much worse strength than now.
Looking back on the past, the Mavericks were really crying. In 2UU, the Mavericks rushed all the way to the finals. As a result, with an absolute advantage of 20, they were won by the Heat in a four-game winning streak, and then they took the hats of the pseudo-strong team and the soft-ball team and rolled back to Dallas.
A year later, the Mavericks became shameless and brave. They scored a record-breaking record of No. 1 in the regular season history. Originally, the Mavericks planned to avenge their previous shame, but even greater shame came. They didn't even find the threshold for the finals, and were directly hacked by the eighth-ranked Warriors in the West in the first round...
The Mavericks were hit and damaged for two consecutive seasons, which also caused their decline in the next four seasons, because the NHAR spoon battle is like a real battle, which requires morale and fighting spirit. The Warriors' Black Eight has a great damage to the Mavericks, almost wiped out all their morale.
Meeting the Warriors this Western Conference Finals is the best opportunity for the Mavericks to take revenge. If you cross the Warriors, the vast sky will make the Mavericks' future unlimited.
However, if the loss is in the hands of the Warriors this time, the Mavericks' future will stop here.
For Mavericks fans, they are looking forward to the best result, which is to lose the Warriors to the Finals in the Western Conference Finals, then meet the exhausted Heat, and defeat the Heat, so that they can clear the shame of 2UU and 207 in a row.
Of course, these ideas are a bit like dreaming, because the Warriors are not slaughtered calf. To be honest, they are the butchers holding the butcher knife in their hands, and the Mavericks are slaughter.
On June 16, the Eastern Conference Finals started first, and then the Bulls defeated the Heat 103 at home, with a total score of 10.
Among them, Derek Ross scored 2 points and assisted 6 times, Lore scored 1 points and 7 rebounds, Carlos Boozer scored 14 points and 9 rebounds, and Jokin Noah grabbed 14 rebounds.
The Heat's "Big Three" scored a total of 6 points, Chris Bosh had the highest score of 3 points, he also grabbed 9 rebounds, Dwayne Wade scored 18 points, and LeBron James performed very poorly. It seemed that eliminating the Celtics had consumed all his energy. He played very depressed in this game, and in the end he only scored 15 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.
On June 18, the Warriors collided with the Mavericks at home.
The starting lineup sent by the Mavericks are: Chandler, Nowitzki, Sean Marion, Kidd, and Stevenson.
The Warriors sent Chamberlain, Evans, Jamison, West and Carter.
Seeing this lineup, the TNT trio in charge of commentary was already exclaimed. Kenny Smith nodded and said: "Old Nelson is very bold. He actually overturned the Warriors' starting lineup that was unstoppable in the past season. The appearance of Evans and Jamison makes the game full of unknowns."
Barkley rolled his eyes and said, "The bullshit unknown. This Western Conference Finals is definitely the least challenging time in history. The Mavericks will lose. The Dallas only have a disadvantage and no advantage. What they met is the head coach who knows them the best. How can they play? I bet on my head, the Warriors can advance in 4l, or even faster."
The Mavericks are far from as weak as expected. After all, they can reach the Western Conference Finals, after all, they can make their way out in the West, surrounded by tigers and wolves, and after all, they can sweep the Lakers, which are known as the second strongest in the West. Even if they are weak, how weak can they be?
After the opening, both teams put defense first, but the game was still exciting.
Old Nelson put Evans, who had not been reused for a season, in the starting lineup, and even if he was used to deal with Nowitzki, he knew very well about this disciple who had been trained.
Nowitzki is also very good in physical fitness, but he is a skilled person and lacks the sense of confrontation like Chamberlain. As long as he encounters a tough rogue opponent, he is unwilling to play at the basket, but will go to the outside to solve the offense with jump shots.
This is the purpose of Old Nelson. No matter how accurate Nowitzki is, the farther he is from the ring, the less deterrent it is. This is a matter of fact.
Sure enough, under Evans' entanglement, Nowitzki was not in shape. He didn't make any of his first three shots, but was beaten up by the Warriors. Carlisle had to call a timeout. He replaced Stevenson who had done nothing and replaced Terry, who killed the Lakers with a three-pointer in the last game.
It was not until five minutes left in this quarter that Nowitzki seized the opportunity to get away from Evans and landed in the penalty area. Kidd is worthy of being the first old monster in the league. He immediately seized the opportunity to pass the ball in time. Nowitzki took a quick move and scored for the first time in the game.
After that, Terry felt warmer after several moves and found the correct head. He received a long shot from outside the three-point line. Three seconds later, he received Nowitzki's support and scored three-pointers again. With Nowitzki's breakthrough layup, the Mavericks overtook in the second half of the first quarter incredibly 2-19.
In the last two and a half minutes of the first quarter, the two sides started a defensive battle, which is commonly known as the playoffs fighting bayonets, and they pressed each other and refused to give in.
The Warriors relied on Chamberlain's brave performance in the inside and won a goal. After the first quarter, they were able to lead the Mavericks 2-2 by two points.
Judging from the first quarter, Old Nelson's change of formation seemed to have no effect, but the old coach was very calm and as stable as Taishan's viewing, he just didn't change the lineup. As long as Nowitzki was present, he would let Evans follow him.
Evans is like a maggot. He is nothing else on the court. He specifically harasses Nowitzki. Wherever the German tank appears, he follows him. He swept through the regular season and the first two rounds of the playoffs, Nothing, who did not meet his opponent, was forced to a little embarrassed.
But on the Mavericks, the outside head was very accurate. Barrea, who was substituting Kidd, looked like a cunning groundhog, broke through and made two consecutive throws, helping the team keep the score behind.
