I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 497 Another super team!

Charlotte Bobcats Arena, before the start of this round of the Bobcats and Raptors series, as the NBA’s strongest core players Nash and Chen Xiao led the team, many expert media fans think that the Bobcats and fierce This round of Long’s series will eventually return to the fast and running style that Chen Xiao and Nash are good at.

Then, Chen Xiao will use his stronger and more comprehensive abilities to easily defeat Nash.

However, the first game of the Bobcats and Raptors playoffs made the entire NBA media experts and even fans dumbfounded.

In the regular season of this season, the Bobcats and Raptors are enough to make people feel abnormal. Nash and Chen Xiao, who have always been accustomed to the fast break style, played a positional attack with the team.

But when it comes to the playoffs, it should be back to normal, right?

This is this game, the style of the two teams’ offensive positions has even become more obvious.

From the perspective of this game, the two teams are on the road of offensive positions. It really means nothing to repent.

The incredible style of the Bobcats and Raptors game naturally caused a lot of discussion. Is this to completely give up everything that was good at before?

The Bobcats and the Raptors don’t really think that they have given up on the fast offense for so long, saying that they can be picked up by picking them up?

Faced with such doubts, the TNT live commentary of this game Barkley’s commentary during the game attracted the attention and approval of many people: “I think the Bobcats and the Raptors are not fainted.

They just want to get closer to the championship. In the current NBA, with three powerful and peculiar teams like the Heat, Nets and Magic, other teams must play if they want to win the championship. Good attack on your own position.

Both teams are using their opponents as their own grindstones. In my opinion, the two teams are full of tacit understanding. They have used the regular season to sharpen their formation and play style. Now they need to use real Challenge to achieve.

is also a positional attack. Every player on the Bobcats has a very good singles ability and is very good at one-on-one breakthrough shots.

The Toronto Raptors have the strongest striker in the league. They are very good at suppressing opponents in the paint.

These are two very different styles of positional offense. When encountering the Nets, Magic or Heat, which one is more effective? It’s hard to say, but for the two teams, to carry forward their offensive style is the key to their ability to compete with the other three super teams. ”

I have to say that Barkley is very reliable in terms of his views on this matter.

Let’s talk about the Raptors, let’s just talk about the Bobcats. The Bobcats are indeed testing and tempering the Raptors as the Heat’s strongest imaginary enemy.

Milicic and Oyosh Smith Jr.’s forward style is very similar to that of Yao Ming, Chris Bosh, and Tony Allen.

The Bobcats are most afraid of the Heat against the Heat. Yao Ming and Chris Bosh have suppressed Bynum and Randolph very much.

According to the normal procedure, the Bobcats at the end of the regular season will not say that they are 50-50 against any team in the league. At least they will not suffer too much, but against the Heat, they will definitely die of nine deaths.

In this case, it is really lucky for the Bobcats to meet a team like the Raptors and a team with similar styles to the Heat.

So the question is, if this is the case, why should the Raptors cooperate with the Bobcats and use them as a whetstone?

Obviously, this is not out of selfless dedication, because there is a team like Chen Xiao that can play from the first position to the fifth position. The Raptors and Bobcats are playing fast break, running and bombing, just say that. Well, ten dead and no life!

In these years, D’Antoni and Nash have already understood Chen Xiao, a running nemesis.

So, since the Bobcats are willing to fight against them instead of fighting, if you are D’Antoni and you are Nash, would you not want to?

The Raptors, with Oscar and Milicic, are not afraid to fight against the Bobcats.

Fighting, running and banging, ten deaths and no lives, fighting positional battles, it may be five deaths and five lives, this is a choice that a fool can make, OK!

For the Raptors, as long as they have passed the team led by the nemesis Chen Xiao, let’s put it this way, no matter if they encounter the Magic, the Heat or the Nets, they will not be persuaded!

So, for the Raptors, the battle of positions in this series is not only a sharpening, but also an opportunity!

In this situation, the Bobcats and the Raptors played a very traditional game in G1 of the playoffs.

In the end, the Bobcats defeated the Raptors 106-101 at home.

In this game, Chen Xiao played 40 minutes, 11 of 21, 5 of 11 three-pointers, 4 of 5 free throws, and scored 31 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

Except for Chen Xiao, Granger scored 5 of 16 in the game, 2 of 6 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and 17 points.

The small gun was 5 of 11, 2 of 8 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 14 points and 15 assists.

The starting five of the Bobcats, except for Chen Xiao, Granger and Xiaopao scored in double figures, Bynum and Randolph did not score in double figures.

Bynum was 2 of 4, 0 of 2 free throws, 4 points and 10 rebounds, while Randolph was 4 of 9, 1 of 2 free throws, 9 points and 7 rebounds.

Milicic and O’Neal are fast, and both can run and top each other. It is simply an alternative version of Yao Ming + Bosh.

Faced with the combination of Milicic and O’Neal, it can be seen that Bynum and Randolph’s offense was uncomfortable.

At the same time, judging from the data of the Bobcats players, the Bobcats mainly played outside in this game, so Paul Chen and Granger shot 25 three-pointers and 9 of 25. This shooting rate cannot be said to be good, only Speaking of passing, the 36% shooting rate allows the audience to see what tactics Jordan and the Bobcats are going to play. The tactics are played out instead of littering.

Compared with the Bobcats, the Raptors’ offensive efficiency is much better.

O’Neal was 7-for-15 and scored 22 points, Milicic scored 10 points on 4-for-9, and Josh Smith scored 7-for-12 and scored 18 points. Especially Josh Smith, it can be said that he spit out the cannon. It’s also his shooting average. If you remove the shots, his efficiency of the air cut in this game is simply against the sky.

So, for the Raptors, their tactics for this game actually came out.

If from the starting tactics, the two teams are equally divided, if from the efficiency and scoring of the starting players, even the Raptors are still strong and lost.

But in the end, the reason why the Bobcats were able to win in this game was that in addition to Chen Xiao being more stable at the critical moment, it was also necessary to talk about the rotation led by Roy.

In this game, Roy made 5 of 10, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 16 points. Although Aldridge didn’t score many points, only 6 points, his shooting percentage was 3 of 4.

The rookies of the two Bobcats this year have really changed the fate of the Bobcats this season. Without the combination of the two of them in the rotation, really, the Bobcats will lose at least 10 more games in the regular season this season.

So, Roy and Aldridge were killed in this game, and the Raptors coach D’Antoni was quite unwilling.

Because he and the Raptors did not fail tactically.

“We blocked the paint. We forced the Bobcats to take 32 shots from outside the three-point line in this game. They took 85 shots in this game. Nearly 40% of their shots were outside the three-point line. This is in line with us. I expected the game before the game. I was very satisfied with the performance of our players, but we just lost. I can only say that Brandon Roy and Aldridge are really geniuses. Put them at this level. Of players placed on the bench is a crime against other NBA teams!

Of course, I know that for Bobcats fans, they are lucky to have Roy and Aldridge on the bench. They will thank Michael, I know.

So, you can say that Michael defeated me in this game, but you cannot say that the coach Michael defeated the coach D’Antoni. ”

Not to mention, D’Antoni is quite humorous. When he finally finished speaking, he and the reporters on the scene all laughed.

Jordan, who was named by D’Antoni, also laughed after hearing this: “To be honest, I don’t want everyone to divide Michael into head coach Michael and general manager Michael. In the NBA, there is only one Michael.

Of course I know what Mike meant. My strength in the position of head coach is really not that good, but I still don’t want my coaching ability to be underestimated. You should be happy for my coaching to win another playoff game. . ”

In this season, many people have said that Roy and Aldridge’s performance on the bench is bad. These two rookies can provide 25 points per game for the Bobcats on the bench stably and efficiently.

This firepower and this efficiency are really rare in the history of the NBA.

So many head coaches said after the game: “It was Michael who beat me, but it was not Michael.”

This is quite interesting and quite funny.

So that Chen Xiao laughed when he was asked this question: “I think you are all right, but this means that Michael is too good, but I believe that in the end there is only one Michael in the NBA.”

Well, in the end there is only one Michael in the NBA, so now there are many Michaels.

The first game of the playoffs between the Bobcats and the Raptors was very intense, but after the game, apart from D’Antoni and the Raptors showing a lot of unwillingness, the atmosphere was actually quite happy.

However, the joy after the game does not mean that the two teams are full of goodwill towards each other.

In fact, at the summary meeting of this game, both teams were’full of malice’ towards each other.

After the first game, both teams have a better understanding of each other.

For the Bobcats, the Raptors are indeed a strange little Heat.

They can confidently experiment with various tactics and preparations for the Heat in this round of the series.

For the Raptors, in this game, they also saw the huge advantage of their striker. They can have such a huge advantage against the Bobcats. In other words, they really have one of the strongest strikers in the league. This means that they may really be able to compete for the final championship.

Now, they need to develop more available tactics for their forward advantage.

On April 24, 2007, the Bobcats and the Raptors played G2. After a two-day break, the game between the Bobcats and the Raptors did not give up the exploratory style of the previous game. Even in this game, two **** The team’s probing style is more obvious.

In this situation, the two teams have played back and forth, but the process of the game is just that.

If you want to say that this game is not exciting, it is certainly not, but if you want to say that this game is very exciting, it is not right.

In short, this game is definitely not a playoff in the true sense, and there can be no mistakes in the playoffs.

In this two-team error-prone game, the Bobcats at home lost 103 to 109 to the Raptors.

In this game, as the head player of the team, Chen Xiao’s performance is still very good.

In the NBA against Chen Xiao, he will increase his defensive strength and fierceness. He can’t wait for a foul every time he defends. Chen Xiao made 11 of 24, 6 of 14 three-pointers, 6 of 8 free throws, and 34 points. 11 rebounds and 5 assists.

But in addition to Chen Xiao, this game strengthened the offensive Randolph under the instruction of Jordan. The game was 5 of 16 in the game. This game was risked by O’Neal 3 times and Milicic risked 2 times. The game ended. At the time, I was a little staring at Venus.

“I’m not afraid of the fellow O’Neal, but the big European white bear is really the best!”

After the match, Randolph said to Chen Xiao angrily. In other words, Chen Xiao believed it. Randolph seemed to be really not afraid of Duncan and Xiaoao’s opponents, one-on-one. The offensive end is not very high and strong, but he has the means to play a very comprehensive inside.

But playing Milicic is very strong, Yao Ming is very tall, and he is really uncomfortable.

This time, O’Neal took three offenses, and after all Milicic resisted him, he twisted there and was snapped by O’Neal from the side.

To say that this game was not only uncomfortable for Randolph. The small artillery was 5 out of 14. The data was also average. The small artillery also strengthened the offense in this game, but killed Nash. After killing Nash, the small artillery found that it was fierce. The dragon is full of long hands and feet. Hello everyone, his eyes are dizzy with these long legs and long hands.

In this game, the small artillery made a 6-for-4 shooting from three-pointers. This is very rare, but when it enters the three-point line, the small artillery’s hit rate is 1 of 8!

Iron horse!

It can be seen that in this game, both teams made a lot of mistakes on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, the Raptors’ advantage of the forward line allowed them to have a better bottom line and more stability when everyone made offensive mistakes.

If it weren’t for Roy’s 6-for-10 score with 17 points and Aldridge’s 2-for-2 with 6 points, to be honest, the Bobcats should have lost more in this game.

So, the adjustment of the two teams in this game, boss Joe is completely defeated.

Just because of the steady performance of Chen Xiao, Roy and Aldridge, it looks like Boss Joe just lost so much.

On April 27, 2007, the two teams came to Toronto for the G3 battle between the two sides.

The boss of Joe, who was defeated in the last game against D’Antoni, learned this game well. As a rookie head coach, he realized that he was tactically wrong with Coach D’Antoni.

His coaching advantage is not to fight against the opponent’s coach.

Facing a team like the Raptors, let Randolph and Paul attack more, this will not work.

This kind of operation will definitely not be used in the future, because even if it can barely be used on the Raptors, it will definitely not be used on the Heat.

Therefore, I still want to return to Chen Xiao and Granger, the two key attackers.

I have to say that Boss Joe’s coaching ability is really not that great, but the speed of admitting mistakes is still very good, and the attitude of admitting mistakes is also very good.

Therefore, in the third game against the Raptors, the Bobcats obviously strengthened Chen Xiao and Granger’s three-point shooting tactics. In this game, Chen Xiao and Granger’s three-point shooting were better than those of G1. More.

Boss Joe is now back on the road of betting on three points.

Because the rotation led by Roy and Aldridge has a great advantage, the boss Joe has the confidence to let the starting players feel crazy and try three-pointers.

If you really want to feel good in your hand, then you can make a profit. If you are strong, you can also use the rotation lineup to chase after.

So, because of the confidence given by Roy and Aldridge this season, the starters of the Bobcats have always been more daring to throw three-pointers.

This can be seen from the fact that a small gun dared to shoot so many three-pointers in a game.

In this game, the Bobcats in the away game feel better on the perimeter than the first two home games.

119 to 112!

The Bobcats defeated the Raptors in an away game and once again exceeded the score.

It can be seen from the scores of the two teams in this game, it is still quite fierce, and both teams feel good in this game.

In this game, Chen Xiao made 13 of 27, 7 of 17 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, 40 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

In this game, Granger was 11 of 22, 5 of 12 three-pointers, and 29 points in the game.

In addition to the main offenses of Chen Xiao and Granger, the best performer was Roy. In this game, Roy scored 6 of 6 and scored 12 points on 100% shooting.

Roy scored double figures in the playoffs in three consecutive games. Although the score was not high, that is, he was in the early 10s, but the efficiency was too high!

It can be seen that Roy is too suitable for this role. He is not tired from the game, but he has contributed a lot and he does not have that great burden on the body.

On the other side, Xiao Ao scored 15 of 25 in this game and scored 38 points.

O’Neal performed extremely well in this round of the series, mainly because Randolph was too slow, Bynum was unable to follow him everywhere, and the other Bobcats were shorter than him. This led to the fact that O’Neal was on the court. It’s really asking for something.

In addition to O’Neal, the Raptors’ best performance is of course Nash. In this game, Nash almost fed O’Neal with 40 points. In this game, he scored 7 of 14 and 4 of 8 three-pointers. He scored 20 points and 20. Assists.

Whether it is O’Neal or Nash, this game has played very perfect data, the only regret is that the game lost.

However, after three games, the situation of the Bobcats and the Raptors is already obvious.

The Raptors’ starter vaguely suppressed the Bobcats’ starter.

After all, the striker wins the world, and the Raptors’ striker is indeed too foul in the playoffs.

The defense is a mess.

so that Randolph and Bynum really felt like they were fighting the Heat.

So, after losing the first game at home, the Raptors were not so upset.

Although the big score is behind, but their advantage is still very big.

“I don’t believe it, Roy can be so stable every game!

Do you really think you are an All-Star or a superstar? ! ”

Raptors coach D’Antoni feels his stubborn temper is coming up like this.

Of course, stubborn temper returns to stubborn temper. Now that you are back at home, of course you must make good use of your home court advantage.

In the G4 game, Chen Xiao and the Bobcats can clearly feel that the Raptors players are more defensive.

This is not dirty, but reasonable use of their home court advantage.

Originally, the Raptors’ striker and defense are strong. The Raptors’ configuration is suitable for strengthening the intensity of the game at their home court. In such a high-intensity game, it is difficult for other teams to withstand the Raptors’ three strikers. .

If it weren’t for a super team like the Bobcats, to be honest, ordinary NBA intensity would have long been a direct collapse when encountering the defensive methods and game defenses of the Raptors.

Of course, although the Bobcats tried very hard not to collapse, they lost 91 to 102 in the end.

In this game, the Bobcats lost 11 points away. It was also the first time the two teams had a point difference other than 10 points in this series.

Looking at the scores of the two teams after the end of the G4 game, the Raptors coach D’Antoni regretted that!

He really regrets it!

I knew we could still play like this, we shouldn’t have lost the last game!

If we won the last game, it would be 3-1!

If so, we will really pass our nemesis Chen Xiao!

Even if Chen Xiao is forced to play fast, run, and play center, with O’Neal, we will not be turned back 3-1!

So, after the game, although the Raptors won, the emotions on the faces of the two teams were completely opposite to the result of the game~www.wuxiax.com~The Bobcats players were happy for their away game.

The players of D’Antoni and the Raptors felt as if they had missed a hundred million.

“The Raptors at home are really strong!”

At the end of the game, the assistant coaches Dell Curry and Steve Kerr breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, in the last game, the Raptors did not play in this game.

“After all, D’Antoni is not Popovich. He is still an offensive head coach who hates defense and hopes to use offense to solve all problems.”

“However, this Raptor is much stronger than we thought!”

“At the very least, this is a super team like the Nets, Heat and Magic!”

In fact, it is not only the assistant coaches of the two Bobcats. At this time, the whole NBA audience can see it.

The Raptors this season is not a pull, it is really strong!

“Although we have escaped, Wonder Boy and Lynx are still very dangerous!”
