NBA: No. 1 Forward Chapter 434

Lian Dao did not hide his desire for the championship. There is nothing to hide. No one came to the finals to be the second.

As long as he is a basketball player, no one wants to win the O'Brien Cup, which symbolizes the highest honor, and the same is true for Lian Dao.

In the Eastern Conference finals, the Knicks had five games against the Heat, which surprised most people.

What is even more surprising is that the final winner was not the "big devil" Miami Heat, who were favored by the media and fans from the beginning, but the New York Knicks, who were able to reach the peak of the Eastern Conference in the second year of reconstruction.

4:0 once and 4:1 twice, the Knicks' road to the finals is extremely strong.

On the second day after the series ended, ESPN had already counted Lian Dao's statistics in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The number 42.3 appeared in the headlines of major sports media.

Many people may not believe it, but this is Lian Dao's scoring average in the five games of the Eastern Conference Finals!

In five games in the Eastern Conference finals of Liantao, two games scored 50+ points, which allowed him to raise his scoring average very high.

42.3 points, which undoubtedly exceeded Lian Dao's scoring performance in the regular season.

Lian Dao is one of those rare players who plays better in the playoffs than in the regular season.

The East will decide the winner, while the West will win the Dallas Mavericks a day earlier than the Knicks.

Like the Knicks, they all solve their opponents 4:1.

The Dallas Mavericks had a tough Game 4 just like the Knicks, and like the Knicks, they didn't really get rid of their opponents until overtime.

In the fourth away game against the Thunder, Nowitzki really wanted to end the cat-and-mouse game as he said.

It's just that he didn't expect the Thunder's determination to defend their home court to be so strong!

If it weren't for the Thunder making too many mistakes, and the shooting percentage was too poor in the end, the mouse-eating-cat scene might really be staged.

In the fourth game, the German showed his prowess, scored 40 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, made 14 of 15 free throws, 93.3% of free throws, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 66.7% of field goals, and 20 shots in the game , Hit level 12 shots, 60% from the field.

It can be said that Nowitzki broke down the entire Thunder's defensive system on his own.

The most important thing is that, in addition to Nowitzki, the "Jets" scored Jason Terry 20 points, Jason Kidd 17 points and 7 assists.

Although Sean Marion in the third position only scored 7 points and 4 rebounds, he completed 4 steals and 1 block from Durant, and Durant made 9 turnovers in the defense.

Although Durant still scored a high score of 29 points.

But 9 of 22 shots in the game, 40% shooting rate, is really not excellent, especially compared with the Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki, it pales in comparison.

In the whole game, under the defense of Sean Marion, Durant did not even reach 30% of his three-pointers. He made 2 of 7 three-pointers in the game, and his shooting percentage was only 28.6%.

Durant took 22 shots and Nowitzki took 20 shots, but Nowitzki scored 11 points higher than Durant. Sean Marion's contribution cannot be said to be insignificant.

The 9 turnovers in the audience made Durant even more embarrassing.

Of course, there is someone who is stronger than Durant, that is Russell Westbrook, who scored 19 points, 8 assists and 8 rebounds in the face of Kidd's defense. Does it feel quite good?

But Westbrook contributed 6 turnovers and 5 fouls, second only to his elder brother Kevin Durant.

Of course, Westbrook's pitfalls are far more than that. He made 7 of 22 shots and only 31.8% from the field. He even made 0 of 3 three-pointers.

The Mavericks were guarded by Tyson Chandler at the basket, and Willie, who was hitting the basket by Westbrook, was greatly weakened, and Westbrook's shooting was unstable. arm.

But even so, you would never have imagined that in the first three quarters of this game, and even in the first 6 seconds of the fourth quarter, the Thunder had always been the leader on the court.

In fact, the above data, and some of the Thunder's three minor mistakes, were all caused by the fourth quarter and overtime.

In the first three quarters, the Thunder maintained their lead on the court. At the end of the third quarter, the score between the Thunder and the Mavericks was still 81:77. very good.

Especially at the end of the first half, Durant made 6 of 8 shots, with a shooting percentage as high as 75%, and Durant made two turnovers throughout the first half.

If it weren't for Nowitzki's 17-point savior in a single quarter in the second quarter, the Mavericks might really be in danger.

But starting from the third quarter, the entire Mavericks strengthened their defense. They would rather send the Thunder's three players to the free throw line than let them score easily. It was the Mavericks' iron-blooded defense that made the Thunder's players unable to adapt for a while. .

Durant made 5 turnovers in the third quarter and 5 turnovers in one quarter.

Under the defense of the Mavericks, the feel of the Thunder team declined rapidly.

Fortunately, relying on free throws, the Thunder still controlled the situation on the court, and the Thunder also strengthened the inside defense in the third quarter, which made Nowitzki have no good offensive opportunities.

And in the fourth quarter, Durant's lack of physical fitness made a mistake again. He made 2 of 8 shots in the fourth quarter, and Westbrook even made 1 of 5 shots. But fortunately, the Mavericks except Nowitzki In addition, their other players hit even more hips.

Until 6 seconds before the end of the fourth quarter, the Thunder held a 2-point advantage, but Nick Collison ruined all of this with a foul on Nowitzki at the end, and he also dragged the team into the Overtime.

The overtime game became a nightmare for the Thunder.

Durant was exhausted in overtime. He made 0 of 3 shots and Westbrook made 0 of 2 shots. , Nowitzki and the old fritters began to show off their power.

The three scored 11 points in overtime, while the Thunder only had 4 points.

The physical distribution of a game is actually the key to winning, and the obviously young and inexperienced Thunder suffered a big loss in this regard.

In the end, at 112:105, the Dallas Mavericks won two consecutive victories at the Thunder's home court, and at the same time, took the lead in getting the match point.

At that time, Lian Dao was still watching the game, and he felt that the Thunder had no chance of coming back, and their weaknesses had already been fully understood by the Mavericks.

In Game 5, although the Thunder changed their strategy, after Durant scored 12 points in the first quarter, the Thunder head coach increased Durant's rest time in the second quarter.

But I don't know if it's because Durant rested for too long. In the second and third quarters, he didn't get back his touch. In the third quarter, he even made 1 of 7 shots. Fortunately, Westbrook In the third quarter, he strongly withstood the impact of the Mavericks and scored 12 points in a single quarter.

But helplessly, the Thunder's role players did not withstand the pressure. Except for the Thunder's three juniors, the other players performed poorly.

This is even more so in the fourth quarter. Although Durant and Westbrook both played online in the fourth quarter, Sean Marion and Nowitzki played better, scoring 23 points together.

In the end, the Mavericks eliminated the Oklahoma City Thunder 100:96.

After the Knicks won the Eastern Conference championship, they have actually completed the goals of the team management.

That night, owner James Dolan booked the largest nightclub in New York to celebrate the team, from the carnival that night to the dawn of the next day.

The psychological pressure accumulated in the playoffs was released at this moment.

Due to the team carnival and the long playoff season, the team suspended training during the day and officially returned to normal the next day.

However, the media has already begun to predict the finals~www.mtlnovel.com~ First of all, ESPN analyzed the lineups of the two finals teams.

In the lineup competition, the Dallas Mavericks' inside configuration is more balanced and more dominant, especially Nowitzki's performance in the five games of the Western Conference Finals really smashed the faces of some media fans.

But ESPN also analyzed that if Stoudemire can play the impact of G3 in the Eastern Conference Finals, it can basically make up for this gap.

Nowitzki's No. 4 offense in the playoffs is indeed invincible, but the No. 4 player who played against him did not score very badly. This is mainly because Nowitzki's defensive ability is not good enough.

Of course, the Mavericks have an excellent defensive player Tyson Dele, but Tyson Chandler does not have the ability to actively score. king.

There are times when Chandler struggles to be the cake king.
