Chapter 1071 [No suspense, strong defense]
"I'll tell you a joke, 2014 was a big year for the draft, and this class of rookies is a golden generation that can be compared to the class of 1996."
"Embiid, your Rihanna is leaking!"
There are a lot of these jokes circulating on the Internet. Everyone didn't see the strength of these rookies, but they simply had good physical fitness, shooting ability, and dribbling skills.
There's no better example of a rookie being touted than this rookie. You must know that in the ESPN2013-14 season, the "Bad Rankings" were updated every week, and some netizens set up a website to "rush to Wiggins", and "SLAM" magazine even played a reproduction, pulling these children to take a family photo in the appearance of the "Golden Generation" in 1996 and publish it on the cover of the magazine.
Don't be funny, who do people remember after a season?
Probably only Embiid is reimbursed for the season, because he has attracted all kinds of attention on social media. There are too many humorous stories about him on the Internet, and any search is "recruiting James as a teammate", "dating Rihanna" and so on.
The Most Improved Player award was won by the Nuggets' "Antetokounmpo" Antetokounmpo, who averaged 35 minutes per game, cutting 17 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.4 blocks while shooting 50.2% from the field.
Brother Alphabet is the key training object of the Nuggets and has the right to fire. His shortcomings are poor shooting, mid-to-long-range shots are basically relied on, and the advantages are physical fitness and breakthrough ability, he was originally born as a guard and has excellent skills.
The Sixth Man of the Year was Louis Williams, who joined the Raptors, and he had 15.5 points and 2.1 assists in just 25.2 minutes, scoring efficiently.
Raptors head coach Dwyane Casey likes to play a two-guard strategy, often having Lowe and Lillard play together, with poor defense and super offense, both of whom can shoot suddenly.
The best coach was won by the Warriors' Mark Jackson, who led the team to the league's best record for the second year in a row, and his ability was recognized. He became the Warriors' decorated coach after last season, and Steve Kerr couldn't join the Warriors.
In the second round, the Warriors won three games in a row and eliminated the Spurs 4-1.
Spurs point guard Danny Green entered the playoffs and suddenly became a Tielin, shooting only 30% from three-point range. The Spurs can't do without the play of the outside, Ginobili and Belinelli can shoot three points, and the defense will be worse.
The warriors are a combination of inside and outside, and more flowers.
Outside Curry, with the exception of 3-of-11 three-pointers in the second game he lost, shot a high percentage from the field.
Nowitzki improved his playoff minutes to 34 minutes and averaged 21 points per game. He only needs to cover Curry, Redick, and Middleton to catch the ball and get a good shot.
In the face of the Warriors' endless pick-and-rolls and off-ball coverage, Duncan's physicality became an Achilles' heel. The Spurs are a team that is slow to switch between offense and defense, and Duncan can't be efficient if he plays more than 30 minutes.
Duncan and Nowitzki have played back and forth, and Split has been completely blown up by López, and the two are not players of the same level at all. In order to break down the Warriors' defense, Split averaged only 15 minutes per game in this series, and as soon as he was on the Warriors, he shrank near the box and did not come out.
The Grizzlies eliminated the Suns 4-2 to reach the Western Conference Finals, with a clear advantage on the inside.
The Gasol brothers can open up space to a large extent, and they can also attack in the low post, and the substitute Nene is also very strong, and the low post is very beautiful.
The Suns' two centers, Gortat and Whiteside, lack range, Ibaka can shoot and is not good at attacking with the ball, and the veteran Haslem has begun to develop in the direction of pure blue collars, and his shooting ability has deteriorated.
The most devastated Suns management is the high-pick rookie Anthony Bennett, this is pure wastewood, the kind that can't be traded, and can only be a marginal person. He can't catch the ball accurately, the offense with the ball is inefficient, and he can't cultivate at all, which round of the ball-holding offense gets this kind of shooting rate of less than 40%?
The Suns' guard was also flawed, with Kobayashi being suppressed by Conley.
The Suns' main means of scoring were through Roy and Jimmy Butler, and Thompson was catching the ball and shooting. Grizzlies flanks Courtney Lee, Prince, Vince Carter, and Azubuke are also not vegetarians.
The Grizzlies' best swingman turned out to be Azubuike, averaging 13.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, shooting 46.4% from the field and 42.3% from three-point range.
The 31-year-old has both skill and experience, and he has become an excellent role player because he left the Warriors early, dodging a serious injury and a knee quack. In the parallel world, Azubuk has been retired for several years at this time.
The Eastern Nets eliminated the Bulls 4-2.
Dwyane Howard has performed well since his comeback, averaging 16 points, 11.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.1 blocks in 33.4 minutes per game in the playoffs, while shooting 57.7% from the field.
Although Howard's free throws are as bad as ever, shooting just 47.8 percent from the field, he is much better defended in the Nets' restricted area and won't let people play casually. James is in charge of blocking and pick-and-roll, and he works well with Howard.
On the offensive end, the Nets were resolute in their playmaking forwards, with Howard occasionally hitting a low-post and role players catching and shooting three-pointers from the perimeter. They played ugly, the tempo was not fast, and the opponent was grinding positions, but they could win.
The Bucks defeated the Wizards 4-3, and the two sides have been evenly matched, with a maximum win margin of 8 points.
Wall, the outside core of the Wizards, became an undercover agent, he didn't have a basket, he knew how to force a breakthrough, and when the opponent's joint defense let him shoot outside, he hit the iron again and again. If he takes fewer shots, he can pass more balls to his teammates, but he is not willing to play like Rondo and wants to prove that he is the boss of the team.
In the playoffs, Wall averaged 39 minutes per game, 15.7 shots and 17.4 points on 39.1 percent shooting from the field and a staggering 17.6 percent from three-point range. It is no exaggeration to say that the little forest that let the sun shoot so many times must have scored more points than Wal.
In the tiebreaker, Wall looked like a cancer, and he took far more shots than Love and Beal, who shot better. He shot 7-of-21, 0-of-1 from three-point range and 6-of-7 from the free-throw line to finish with just 20 points, five rebounds, eight assists and six turnovers.
The division finals were over quickly, with the Nets sweeping the Bucks 4-0.
With the same small forward as the core, the Bucks couldn't threaten the Nets, and James completely suppressed Paul George one-on-one.
When defending, the Bucks must contain James, but the Nets can use James to defend George alone and guard outside role players.
The Western Warriors eliminated the Grizzlies 4-1.
The Warriors made the cut based on the depth of the roster, and Conley did a good job of defending Curry, reducing his shooting percentage, but there would be holes in the defense of other positions. The Gasol brothers are not very fast and are not very good at pick-and-roll.
The Warriors have three interior lines, sophomore rookie Rudy Gobert has only been upgraded to a rotation bench, Andre Blatch and Scola are fringe men, and their lineup is so terrible.
The Grizzlies have an advantage over other teams on the inside, and the Warriors are at most mutually explosive, and the Grizzlies are completely at a disadvantage in the outside competition.
The finals are Nets VS Warriors again, and before it starts, many fans on the Internet say that there is no suspense, so there is no need to watch it.
In the online poll, 71 percent thought the Warriors would win the championship. Basketball pundits have also expressed their favors on the Warriors, while others have a low opinion on James because he has five overall runner-up titles and has only won one against the Rockets. With such a person as the core, can the Nets win?
This time, James performed more competitively than before, with beautiful statistics, averaging 33.5 points, 8 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 2 steals per game, and the shooting rate was as high as 54.3%.
However, the Nets lost 2-4, and fans watched in frustration as the Warriors lifted the championship trophy on the Nets' home court......
