Chapter 184 The second round, the first battle against Thunder!
The Mavericks became the first team to advance to the next round, so they will have more time to observe their opponents in the next round.
In the West, apart from the Mavericks, the Spurs are the second to advance, only a little slower than the Mavericks. They are also 4 to 0, but their game starts 1 hour later than the Mavericks.
Compared with the Mavericks' 4-0, the Spurs' sweep of the Jazz did not cause much disturbance, as if everyone took this matter for granted!
The Thunder and the Nuggets in the same division as the Mavericks played 4-1. The loser was that Westbrook suddenly went crazy and was quite the boss!
Can you imagine a scene like that?
After Westbrook gets the ball, he doesn't care about 21 [-], jumping up is a dry pull, or a strong attack at the basket.
Durant next to him looked bloodshot in his eyes!
In this case, the Mavericks' opponent in the next round will be finalized, and it will be the Oklahoma City Thunder!
In fact, Carlisle and the others didn't watch anything about the Nuggets either
And the Spurs' opponents didn't decide until the tiebreaker!
The game between the Lakers and the Grizzlies can be described as evenly matched!
The two teams played 3-0 in the first six games!
This made Kobe very embarrassed. I heard that he made a fuss in the locker room before the tiebreaker.
In fact, Yi Jianlian felt that if the Lakers wanted to win, Kobe only needed to pass the ball in his hand a few more times.
Then the chances of the Lakers winning must be great.
But even if he didn't pass the ball, the Lakers won!
Although it was difficult to win and exhausted physically, but it is still in the second round, right?
Popovich of the Spurs almost laughed out loud when he saw such an opponent, while Carlisle here could only look at him silently and enviously. This is luck, what can you do?
In the second round, the Mavericks met the Thunder, who are also the favorites of the championship!
And the Spurs only met an exhausted Lakers in the second round!
Can't compare!
Unlike the West, two consecutive teams in the East have capsized.
Bulls and Eagles respectively!
Yi Jianlian did not expect the Bulls to lose to the 76ers. Is "Xiao Ai" so strong at this time?
You must know that the Bulls are No. [-] in the Eastern Conference!
This TM is a proper black eight!
"call!"
Horror!
But Yi Jianlian took a closer look. It turned out that Rose was injured in the first game and missed the game since the second game.
However, this is not the worst. After Rose, Noah was also injured!
Although the game has not yet finished, the morale of the Bulls has collapsed across the board!
The few games they lost were all at the last moment when no one could stand up!
The playoffs are the stage for superstars, and it is almost impossible for the Bulls to rely on defense to win the game without superstars!
This also became the fifth "Black Eight Miracle" in NBA history!
The Philadelphia 76ers became the protagonist, and Andre Iguodala, the head star of the 76ers, became famous for a while, and even had a tendency to catch up with Yi Jianlian!
In addition, the Eagles lost to the Celtics, and the old guys from the Celtics got up and beat up the guys in Atlanta, with a big score of 4 to 2!
The rest of the Heat and Pacers didn't overturn, and ended the game easily, even if they lost one or two games, it didn't matter.
After the first round, the Mavericks got a lot of rest time.
This is the advantage of ending quickly, you can take the lead in recuperating for a few days.
The competition ended on May 5th, and the next round will start on May 6th!
The generals of the Mavericks finally got a chance to breathe.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the head coaches of both sides are also studying tactics day and night, and the divisional semifinals are about to begin!
On May 5th, the first game of the semifinals will be held at Chesapeake Energy Arena, home of the Thunder!
As the first game to start in the semi-finals, this game has also attracted the attention of many people.
"Tomorrow's Son" vs. "Yesterday's Champion", David Stern's ability to hype is stronger than his ability to be the president!
Yi Jianlian accepted an interview directed by Zhang Reasonable before the game.
In fact, since the playoffs, Yi Jianlian has been in charge of the interview work. After all, he still has to explain on the spot.
"A Lian, we noticed that when you got off the plane today, you were dragging several trays of lunch boxes in your hand. Can you share with us what's inside?" Zhang Lili first asked a digression.
Yi Jianlian touched his head shyly and said with a smile:
"It's really nothing, just a little chicken breast, steak and blueberries."
"Why did you suddenly think of bringing these things?"
"I may not be used to the food in various places, so I will bring some by myself."
After asking a few gossips, I started to discuss today's topic.
"Do you think Thunder is hard to beat?"
"It must be difficult to play. They have several talented young people, especially Westbrook. I admire him very much. I think he can shoot more confidently. He also deserves more tactics from the team?"
"Huh?" Zhang Lili was surprised. The head star of the Thunder is not Durant. Why do you want Westbrook to increase his shot rights?
"There is also James Harden, I think he can hide from the outside and shoot three-pointers, maybe he will shoot us to death, God knows how afraid we are of his three-pointers!" Yi Jianlian said with an exaggerated expression When it comes to this topic, Yi Jianlian seems to have become a confidant big sister, and actually gives advice to the Thunder.
After the interview, Zhang Lili looked at Yi Jianlian who continued to train, and said with admiration:
"I'm still thinking about my opponent at this time, what should I say?"
"A Lian, a great master!"
If Yi Jianlian knew what Zhang Lili was thinking in his heart, he would definitely laugh out loud. This is the first time he has given an idea to the couple, and it is obvious that they are going to die.
If the Thunder are all shot by Westbrook and Harden, then he will wake up laughing from a dream
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the game officially begins!
Thunder fans are still the same, all standing and watching the game, they will stand until the home team scores before sitting down.
Both sides are very familiar, today the Mavericks still rotate with 11 people, while the Thunder rotate with 13 people.
The Thunder started here, the guards are Westbrook and Sefolosha, the small forward Durant, the power forward Ibaka, and the center Kendrick Perkins.
This lineup will have a certain disadvantage in height. After all, Perkins is only 208 at the center.
The inside Mavericks will have a huge advantage!
In the first attack after the opening, Yi Jianlian successfully jumped back to the ball.
After halftime, Kidd flicked his wrist, threw the ball high, and directly lobbed the ball to Yi Jianlian!
Yi Jianlian stood in a low position and turned his back!
Perkins was playing "mangy dog tactics" today, and when he saw Yi Jianlian holding the ball, he posted it.
Due to his height, his entire upper body seemed to be glued to Yi Jianlian's chest, which was very funny!
Second more!
