0856: Snoopy's fatal flaw? 】
Philadelphia is one of the oldest and most historic cities in the United States, and is also known as the 'City of Friendship'.
The Chicago Bulls do get a lot of camaraderie here.
They took two wins without blood, and even in the fourth quarter of Game 4, the Little Duke heard the call of 'MVP' at the Wajovia Center Arena.
Actually, if it weren't for Evan Turner's nonsense before the series began. The two teams will be more harmonious, because there really is no deep hatred between the two sides, and in fact, they are very peaceful people with each other.
Even after the series, Iguodala said in a gentlemanly manner: "The Bulls are very strong, and their strength is that they have a very strong offensive and defensive level in all five positions. Most importantly, Snoopy leads them to form an efficient whole. ”
"Hopefully we can be as strong as them one day!"
Andrei said from the bottom of his heart.
He agreed with TNT commentator Shackle O'Neal that the Philadelphia 76ers are a weakened version of the Bulls, and the two teams are indeed very similar, young and united and good at defense, but the weakness of the 76ers is that they don't have defensive strengths on the inside. There was no offensive finish on the perimeter, and Iguodala, Evantener, Holiday and Louis Williams on the bench could all score, but they didn't have the ability to play against the defense for the time being.
At this point, the Bulls' Derrick Rose and Snoopy have begun to take shape.
Snoopy, in particular, completely knocked out Iguodala and Evan Turner in his two games in Philadelphia.
Although he only scored 34 points on 18 shots in two games, he spent more time combing the ball. But he scored at least five fairy balls in two games, and "I've defended to the extreme, he can still score".
This is extremely devastating to the confidence of the defenders!
So, that's why Iguodala stressed in front of the media: "Snoopy is the most difficult player to defend, he has a lot of breaks, he has incredible shots, and most importantly, he can pass the ball." You can think of him as 75 percent Allen Iverson, 70 percent Kobe Bryant, and 90 percent Stockton. ”
"He is unquenchable. The scary thing about someone like him is that the stronger his teammates, the more power he can wield. ”
Iguodala is the NBA's number one dog.
Snoopy reciprocated by praising him in front of the camera: "Iguodala is a great team player and he has unparalleled talent on the defensive end. He deserves to be seen by more people! ”
The touting of both sides brought a different kind of warmth to this round of the series.
In contrast, the other three series in the East can be said to have played out all the brains.
The Heat and the Knicks have played 3-1, and Miami is returning to the court with a menacing squad to complete the promotion at home.
The Magic, who are at odds with the generals, are also 1-3 behind the Indiana Pacers at this time, and are only one step away from elimination, which is actually a bit unexpected. After all, before this season, the Magic were the deserved top half of the East.
However, with Howard's feud with Van Gundy becoming more and more public, and with the departure of the likes of Tekoglu, the time has come for the team to reform. They have to make a choice between Howard vs. Van Gundy, or... Give up both!
Boston's match against Atlanta is even more scorching, and they are now tied at 2-2. The aging Bostonians are no longer the same as when they lifted the O'Brien Cup in '08. Since they were convicted by the Minor Duke for two years in a row, their strength has weakened with age. Although there is still a tiger shelf, it does not have the power of a tiger!
The outcome of this series will determine the Chicago Bulls' next round opponent.
But judging by the media projections, they don't think either of these two teams can pose a threat to the Bulls.
Basically, everyone still thinks that the two teams in this year's Eastern Conference Finals have been locked into the Miami Heat and the Chicago Bulls!
……
Snoopy lay on Anne Hathaway's lap as she watched the Knicks get taken out by the Heat in Miami, and the first meeting of the best four players of the 03 Golden Generation came to an end in such dramatic fashion.
Hathaway had no regrets about the loss in New York, even though she was born in New York.
She was now concerned with one other thing: "Will you ask me to be a bridesmaid?" ”
This....
Frankly, it's a bit of a tough question.
So, until Hathaway left, he didn't give an answer.
Because... Boston's rivalry with Atlanta has been on the verge of a hot one, so the Bulls, who swept through the rankings, have at least five days off.
This opens up opportunities for the likes of Anne Hathaway and Taylor Swift.
As if they had agreed, they came to visit one by one. And they all more or less emphasized that they wanted to be able to attend the wedding.
The little duke couldn't figure out their intentions, so he never gave a positive response.
What's more... There's not a word in Los Angeles yet. Daphne's father has been in a state of agitation, and God knows why he thinks he will become a same-surname relationship, it's too much... It's not scientific.
Speaking of Los Angeles.
Now both city teams are in the tie-break, but fortunately they don't share a home court because of the relationship between the upper and lower districts, and the Clippers go to Memphis. The Lakers, on the other hand, host the Nuggets from Denver.
At the same time, their next round opponents, the Thunder and Spurs, have already completed their sweeps and are waiting for them with their energy levels ready to go.
"The Lakers are a little weak!"
The little duke said to Miley Sellers, who had come to visit him, "Have you now dropped the price of your ticket to Stamps?" ”
"Hmm!"
Miley Sellers nodded.
This is easy to analyze from an economic point of view, which shows that the quality of the Lakers' games is no longer enough to attract fans to pay high prices or even premium tickets to enter the game.
Alas!
The little duke sighed.
Kobe Bryant's era is over.
If you want to meet him in the finals in the future, it may be that he joins the Bulls with a veteran base salary.
Thinking about it this way, the puppy is still a little happy. He also mentioned this matter in the last call with Kobe, he said: If you want to surpass Michael Jordan, come to me, I'll take you fly!!
At the time, Bryant's response was: Get out!
The black mamba is very hard.
Just like his shot tonight.
Bang bang!
However, after three quarters, at a critical moment in the fourth quarter, the Black Mamba finally hit a three-pointer, and then shot inside and out, scoring 15 points in a single quarter on the heads of the young Denver boys. Won 103-95 over the Nuggets.
The Lakers struggled into the second round, and Bryant grabbed fate by the throat with his tenacity.
Next, he will lead the team to face a challenge from the Young Guards Oklahoma City Thunder!
On the second day when Kobe Bryant used 15 points in a single quarter to prove that the veteran was not dead, Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics also solved the Atlanta Hawks with a three-point jumper, and he proved with his actions: The veteran does not die, but gradually steps back to make a jumper!
……
The Bulls played five games against the Boston Celtics.
Chicago advanced 4-1.
Although from the big score, the Bulls won very easily. But in reality, every game is extremely difficult, with the scores staggered and alternately rising, often at the last minute.
Frankly speaking, the defensive system coached by Thibodu is in the same vein as the Celtics, both of which are heavy silting + local pressure. So both the Bulls and Celtics are good at paralyzing each other's superstars. However, in this series, the Bulls' Richardson, Korver, Lore Deng, Tygibson and Carlos Boozer have all played very well, and they are gentle attackers who can shoot anytime and anywhere. Coupled with the sharp breakthroughs of Derrick Rose and Snoopy, with the cooperation of high-quality passing, the Celtics' dense defense looks extremely messy.
Frankly, both in terms of fitness and squad depth. Boston has no advantage.
The advantages of the Celtics are actually only one point:
their hearts. The heart of a warrior who is not willing to be pushed to the center of the stage!
That's why Pierce put on a "I'll die if I don't play a team" tension in Game 2, scoring 36 points with a touch against the sky.
This is also the reason why KG first scolded Joakim Noah in Game 4, and then pointed the finger at Bulls coach Thibodeau, who commanded on the sidelines, angrily calling him a traitor, and then cut 28 points and 14 rebounds.
In fact, Ray Allen also hit 16 three-pointers in five games with a soft touch and killer heart.
They almost pushed the bull into the grave. The old guys are extremely good at creating tension, and they know that the tension of "dying to the end in a moment of need" is a real asset for the Celtics. The so-called old man does not rely on his muscles and bones, although he has difficulty breathing under the young and vigorous body. But for five games, they were more focused than the Bulls, and as the best stalking team in the NBA today, the series was filled with Pierce pushing away Lore Dun's runs, KG and Joakina Noah pushing each other in the restricted area, Rondo and Derrick Rose sticking around the cover wall, Garnett and Snoopy getting headfirst to the ground and grabbing the floorball, and plenty of offensive and defensive tactical duels.
Frankly, it's a war.
It's just that the one who has the last laugh is the bull!
Because in the first game, the little Duke got 19 rebounds, including 8 frontcourt rebounds. He took what Brandon Bass wanted, and the Boston penalty area was empty after losing Wallace, O'Neal, and Perkins.
In the second game, the Duke focused on mid-range playmaking, leading his teammates to complete the attack in the middle with 15 assists, and defended his dignity as the MVP of the 2011-2012 regular season with a last-minute finish (the NBA officially gave Snoopy an award ceremony before the start of this game, and he officially became the second superstar to win two consecutive MVPs after Stephen Nash). )!
In the third game, he forcefully responded to Kevin Garnett's floor-slapping behavior. At the North Shore Garden Arena, he saved the team's morale with a clapper hat and then assisted Derrick Rose to score a crucial 2+1 under the basket to seal the win.
In Game 5, Snoopy played as a starting power forward from the start, and he had the upper hand in the showdown with Kevin Garnett. At the same time, lead the team forward in the way of internal strategy. The game lost suspense as soon as it entered the fourth quarter, and as the margin widened, Boston head coach Doug Rivers voluntarily requested a timeout, and he replaced all the main players to announce the end of the season.
After the game, he finally did not feel as unconvinced as before, but sincerely congratulated the Bulls on their success this season, and praised Snoopy: "He is a unique tactical genius and the most well-rounded superstar the NBA has ever seen!" ”
"Mark my words, I didn't add one."
"You're never going to find a player like him who can control the game from all positions, who can launch a quick counter-attack from the backcourt, who can grab a completely impossible frontcourt rebound in the paint, and who can play Princeton from mid-range...... Frankly, he really can do anything. What's even more terrifying is that he still has unlimited room to grow, and I can't believe what he will achieve in the future! ”
"At least, I don't think Michael Jordan's fourth season was as impressive as he was."
Doug Rivers flicked his sleeves, leaving behind a string of rainbow farts.
It is worth mentioning that after the final game, Kevin Garnett walked over and exchanged jerseys with Snoopy.
Although he has had fierce confrontations with Snoopy, and even extended from the field to the off-field.
But, for now.
"I've got to admit he's one of the best players in the league. I also know it's likely that this will be the last time we'll play at this level, so why not ask for his shirt? It will make me miss this game even more. ”
Kevin Garnett said emotionally after the game.
Although this guy has a bad mouth, black hands, a bad temper, and ...... not dare to fight head-on, he is indeed a super power forward that has gone down in history, and his birth has changed the basketball ecology to some extent, and if he debuts ten years later, he is very likely to become the greatest power forward in NBA history.
Because, modern basketball is getting faster and faster, and he will undoubtedly dominate the court from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position.
However, his ability to win the name of 'second in the world' in the brilliant era when excellent power forwards have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain is enough to show his greatness.
"It's great to play against the Boston Big Three at the end of their prime, and I've learned so much from them. Their strength has also accelerated my growth. The happiest thing about this era is that I can compete with the superstars of the previous era and the pride of the platinum generation. In the future, there will definitely be more new people to appear. ”
Snoopy closes the series with a smile on his face: "But I'll definitely ... Beat them one by one! ”
The little duke's crazy but undragged aura is becoming more and more popular.
However, at this time, there was media exposure.
"I've found Snoopy's death hole. Boston's biggest contribution in this round was that he showed us that if you use Jordan's Rule on Snoopy, he's nothing at all! ”
"Let's take a look at the video of Game 4, where Snoopy took 11 shots in the third quarter of the second quarter and hit just two shots. That's why Boston came out on top in that game. ”
"That's why Snoopy simply came out as a starting power forward in Game 5, and he had to hide his shortcomings."
"Now, I can be honest with everybody. Snoopy is the kind of player who can hit the basketball the more he shoots in a high-intensity defensive environment!! But if you put him in a normal defensive environment, his shooting percentage will immediately plummet to less than 30%. ”
"Thank me. Miami Heat, you've got a key to winning the championship!! ”
The author of 'Basketball True Knowledge' made an analysis with enthusiasm, and his analysis quickly spread on the Internet, and major basketball media also reprinted it.
People want to see a dissected Snoopy!
