Chapter 312 Who is Harder
In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Pacers and Wizards game, the Pacers finally solved the problem by relying on defense.
On the offensive end, it was Hibbert who scored zero on the field and scored the highest score.
The performance of the strong team is also miraculous, the strength is not strong, the weakness is not weak, it is difficult for outsiders to see the clue.
The two teams are now fighting for defense and for the main force. It may depend on who is more able to resist.
As for the Heat and the Nets, it is also a defensive battle.
It's just that the Heat have the Big Three, and they can tear apart the defense at critical moments.
The Nets and the Heat stalemate for three quarters. In the final quarter, the Heat showed their power and killed the Nets in one fell swoop. The Heat also scored 2:0.
It feels that compared with the West, the East is often fighting for defense.
The teams in the West can't say that the defense is not good, but they are more talented on the offensive end.
However, in terms of the quality of the stars, apart from the Heat, several teams in the East are really inferior to the West.
The second game between the Spurs and the Thunder was somewhat unexpected.
Originally, I thought the two teams would be fighting each other, but I didn't expect the Spurs to explode suddenly in the second quarter. Sparks and lightning all the way defeated the Thunder.
In fact, the strengths of the two sides are really similar, but the role players of the Spurs are three grades better than the Thunder.
The Thunder originally relied on the double-young team to win the world, and the efficiency of the double-young players is only about the same as that of the old GDP, so it is inevitable for them to lose.
The Thunder boss has been reluctant to pay for the past few seasons, and he has really pitted Durant and Westbrook.
If they had a stronger helper, the situation would be completely different.
At this time, the candidate for the regular season MVP was finally determined.
Xiang Chu led the league in rebounds, blocked shots, ranked second in scoring, and ranked first in the league in team record, and beat Durant and James to win this award.
The alliance organized a small awards ceremony, and Xiang Chu was also very happy.
He couldn't help thinking that he started playing basketball just to adapt to the environment. He didn't expect that the changes had been so great in the past few years.
He was a little excited and incoherent when he spoke just after he won the award.
"I'm so excited...I want to thank my family, who encouraged me to play basketball, which changed my life, and the family of my team. Without you, I could not have won such an honor."
"I want to start a family myself. I hope I can be the one who inspires others. There are some things worth passing on."
While talking, Xiang Chu also regained his composure. He wiped away the tears and smiled, "Lucky and I can win a heavyweight award, but... this is just the beginning."
Even with the MVP trophy during the game, Xiang Chu still didn't use social media.
However, Olivia released the good news as soon as possible and interacted with the fans.
Xiang Chu is also lucky to be able to get Olivia's love.
When going to the away game, Olivia reluctantly sent him out, Xiang Chu had a strong urge at this time, he wanted to win the championship so that Olivia could marry him proudly.
Back at home, the Clippers are also strong.
They summed up the experience of the previous two games and let Griffin play hard at the beginning.
Griffin did not live up to the team's trust and directly caused two fouls by Faried.
Griffin's strong performance allowed the Nuggets to put on the Twin Towers lineup for the first time, letting Mozgov and Xiang Chu play together, but this decision was not very successful, Mozgov could not limit Griffin.
George Karl didn't hesitate for a long time, and replaced the first and fourth juniors.
If you can't prevent Griffin first, then you will consume it, whether you are big or small, you must have an impact on Griffin.
While Griffin was wreaking havoc on the fourth position, Xiang Chu was also wreaking havoc on the fifth position.
The Clippers have always had nothing to do with Xiang Chu, and they are also consumed by turns.
If Rivers knew that consumption items were of little use at all, I don't know what kind of expression he would have.
Back at home, Crawford had a good hand, but Lou Williams wasn't bad either.
The two teams have shown their respective strengths from the main force to the substitute lineup, and they have been tit for tat.
In the first half, players from both sides showed their strength, and no one could guard the other.
In fact, the Nuggets still have more opportunities, but there are no top organizers, and many opportunities are fleeting, so they are inseparable from the Clippers.
During the intermission, the Nuggets were also considering how to limit the opponent.
The Clippers played really well back at home, especially Paul.
Of course it's not the fairy three-pointer in the first game, but the passing ability, plus Griffin's good touch, the Clippers have never broken on the offensive end.
Their decision is to block the three-pointer. Xiang Chu from Griffin needs to help. If the opponent can shoot them to death by two points, they will admit it. Anyway, the three-point line should be limited as much as possible, and the basket can only It is Xiang Chu's territory.
In fact, even if the opponent is two points long, they can't kill them. With Xiang Chu's offensive power and offensive rebounds, they will definitely not be afraid of the Clippers.
The Clippers' strategy against Xiang Chu is still Jordan's best, but to reduce fouls, let the players on the front line speed up the defensive rotation, and not give Xiang Chu a chance to play singles calmly.
In the third quarter, the strategies of both sides played a certain role. In this case, the Nuggets played better because of the rebounds.
Xiang Chu's rebounding is stronger now than when he had a single skill, even if the Clippers Twin Towers wanted to grab him, it would be impossible.
However, the gap between the two sides is still not big, and everything depends on the performance of the two sides in the final quarter.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Rivers did not let Griffin and Paul rest for a long time in the second half, probably not even 1 minute.
Xiang Chu also only rested for a little longer than the two. The Western Conference semifinals are already at a time when they are desperate. George Karl will not soften his heart at this time, which is also in line with Xiang Chu's plan.
Playing for a long time also consumes a lot of energy. Paul's shooting percentage in the final quarter has dropped significantly. Knight's defense is not bad. After a few matchups, he has become more and more used to defending Paul.
The Clippers still rely on Griffin to score, but Griffin's words can at most offset Xiang Chu. The Nuggets are now leading and have already taken the initiative. It doesn't matter whose home court it is.
As time passed, the Clippers became more and more anxious, and the atmosphere of the stadium became more intense.
Faried made six fouls, Glenn Davis also made six fouls after ten minutes, Jordan and Griffin also committed four, Chandler also committed four, but the Nuggets didn't care much, the Clippers If the line loses another one, it will be difficult for them to come back.
Time entered the last few minutes, the Clippers hadn't caught up with the score yet, even Paul was a little anxious, and he started to try three-pointers.
Maybe he still misses the misjudgment of the shooting percentage in the first game, and the two small space shots were hit with iron.
The Nuggets took the opportunity to expand their lead, and the balance of victory and defeat was tilted like this.
