In other series in the West, the Spurs swept the Warriors 4-0, and there was no suspense. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

With the addition of Steve Francis, Derrick Fisher, dunk king Jason Richardson, and Michael Petrus, the Warriors' outside depth is not inferior to the Spurs.

In the interior competition, the Warriors are much worse, Troy Murphy was completely blown up by Duncan on the court, and he couldn't prevent it one-on-one. Murphy's average rebounds per game in the series also dropped from 11 in the regular season to 7, and the identity of the data brush was revealed.

The Grizzlies eliminated the Nuggets 4-1 and advanced to the second round.

The Grizzlies' advantage is also inside, Pau Gasol broke Camby, and the fifth game was especially good, with 28 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks.

The opposite of the outside - Hilario missed the playoffs due to injury, and if he could play, the Nuggets wouldn't be eliminated so easily. The outside trio of Anthony, Hamilton, and Andre Miller has the advantage and is very attacking.

The Suns eliminated the Mavericks 4-3 and will face the Lakers in the second round. Before the game even started, the Lakers were in a good position, and the players had been resting for a week.

The two sides fought in a bloody battle for seven overtimes, and Nash slashed 38 points and 11 assists to lead the Suns to defeat his old club 130-126.

Nelson Sr. is also a person who likes to play small-ball tactics, but the team has no point guard who is good at launching fast breaks, David Wesley is just a pitcher, and it is Joe Johnson who is in charge of the organization. Such a configuration is destined for the Maverick to not be able to outrun the sun.

This year, the Mavericks brought in a meat shield center to defend against O'Neal and Duncan, but they didn't even have a chance to meet these people. Dampier is like a mismatch in defending O'Neal Jr., deflated every game, which has become the Mavericks' biggest weakness, and it is not as useful as Marshall, who came off the bench.

Nash turned his back and averaged 30+10 per game in the series, but Nowitzki, the core of the Mavericks, performed badly, although he averaged 25 points and 10 rebounds per game, but the shooting rate was only 40%.

Nash became a nightmare for Cuban, and the Mavericks boss has always looked down on Nash and was unwilling to offer a high salary, and now he has been slapped in the face.

Joe Johnson has made it clear that he will enter free agency in the summer to fight for a big contract; Nelson Sr. is also preparing to leave the Mavericks, who are going to break up in the summer.

In the Eastern Conference series, the Bulls eliminated the eighth-place Pacers 4-1.

The Pacers won a game thanks to Michael Reed's outburst and scored 42 points, and this season he averaged 24.3 points, 4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game, making him the team's leading scorer.

The Heat defeated the 76ers 4-1, and O'Neal still has an extraordinary dominance in the East.

The Raptors eliminated the Celtics 4-3 away from home, Carter hit a killer shot at home in the fourth game, and scored 35 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists in the seventh game, and is still the hero of Toronto.

The Wizards eliminated the Pistons 4-3, and Jeff Van Gundy disappointed Detroit fans again, with a better record than the Celtics, who should be third in the East according to their record, and have home-court advantage in the first round.

The biggest contributor to the Wizards' win was Stoudamire, who finished the series with Oku, averaging 37 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and was unable to solve problems on the offensive end.

Arenas on the outside also had the upper hand in the face of Bob Sula, either sudden or shot.

The advantage of the Pistons is that there are many people who play, and Margety, Prince, Houston and others have played well. But a tough tie-break requires someone to step up and score consecutive points at critical moments, and the Pistons don't have a superstar.

The Wizards' worst performance was Jamison, who shot very low from the field and did little against the Prince defense, averaging 16.7 points per game and shooting less than 4 percent.

After the end of this season, the Pistons management does not plan to renew the contract with Van Gundy, he is okay in the regular season, and he will drop the chain as soon as he enters the playoffs, and everyone does not see Van Gundy as a "Jerry coach".

In the second round of the focus battle, the West is the Suns vs. Lakers, and the East is the Wizards vs. Bulls, all of which are led by "Jerry Coaches". Including the Wizards, people feel that they are also continuing some of Yang Rui's tactical plays.

Because the Suns won the Lakers in the last two games of the regular season, there are also a few experts who believe that they have the strength to cause upsets, and the media that broadcast this series live is the most.

The good news for the Lakers is that backup interior lineman Lamar Odom is back from injury and will play in the second round.

On May 9, the first game was played at the Lakers' Staples Center Arena, and the players played on time.

Unlike other home courts, Lakers fans don't really like to boo their opponents, and Nash received some applause when he played. He has led the Suns to great results this season, with a beautiful offense that has attracted many fans.

TNT Radio, Barkley said: "The two best coaches this season are Yang Rui and D'Antoni, and the two best players are Kobe and Nash. In the regular season, it will be difficult for the Suns to win the Lakers in awards, and if they want to prove themselves, the only thing they can do is try to beat the Lakers in the playoffs. ”

Smith said: "The two sides have a full lineup, the Lakers players have a lot of energy, and today they have a better chance of winning. ”

Yang Rui and D'Antoni greeted each other, and their expressions were in stark contrast.

The corners of Yang Rui's mouth rose slightly, as if he looked at the victory and defeat very lightly, and had absolute confidence.

D'Antoni's expression was serious, and his mood was similar to that of Thibodeau when the Bulls played the Wizards in 2003, wanting to win, but lacking confidence.

People who have worked as assistant coaches for Yang Rui feel that he has a bit of a mysterious power, a sharp vision, and can always help players play their strengths and win games. If you want to eliminate Yang Rui's team to advance, you need to create a miracle.

The coach still has this mentality, and the Suns players are under more pressure. They won the game by running and bombing, but Yang Rui won the championship by running and bombing when he was a Raptor, and he must understand the advantages and disadvantages of counterattack tactics.

Lakers starters: Jones, Kobe, Iguodala, Rashid, Yao Ming.

Suns starters: Nash, Raja Bell, Grant Hill, Marion, O'Neal Jr.

From the perspective of squad depth, the Sun is a little stronger than Yang Rui in his previous life. The three-point point is slightly inferior, and the defense is much better.

Yang Rui sent Yao Ming to start as usual, obviously to fight for the offense, and Yao Ming had weaknesses in defending against fast attacks, but the position was attacking, and the Sun was not easy to defend against him.

Yao Ming jumped the ball and the game began.

Kobe Bryant took the ball, waited for his teammates to pull away, played blocking and dismantling with Yao Ming in the middle, broke through the left side of Bell's defense, Kobe Bryant penetrated the ball to the middle, and Yao Ming received the ball against Hill, who was 203CM tall.

The Suns opened with a hybrid defense, with Marion, Hill, and Bell on the perimeter, and Nash and O'Neal Jr. on the baseline. O'Neal Jr. is responsible for defending the box and protecting rebounds, while Nash is tasked with defending three-pointers in the bottom corner and catching the ball to launch a quick counterattack.

Yang Rui tasted the tactics and admired D'Antoni's boldness, such an arrangement is a test of O'Neal's ability, if he can't defend against Yao Ming alone, he can't cover it, and there will be big problems in the penalty area.

Moreover, O'Neal Jr. can't defend too far away, otherwise even if he interferes with Yao Ming's shooting, Nash can't protect the rebound and can only rely on Marion to retreat and grab the board, and he is likely to lose the frontcourt rebound. If Yao Ming organizes a pass to his teammates in the high position, O'Neal Jr. and Nash will face the impact of misalignment.

This defensive tactic is too porous because the Lakers usually have no one in the bottom right corner, but Andre Iguodala.

Yao Ming knew this, passed the ball to the bottom corner on the right side, Nash kept a distance to interfere, Iguodala swayed, changed direction and broke through, 45 degrees could not get rid of, leaned on Nash with his back, and quickly turned to the bottom line.

Nash had a poor confrontation, and was a little out of position when he was hit, and he didn't prevent the first brother's turn. O'Neal Jr. rushed to cover from the left, Iguodala jumped up to draw the defenders, and the ball was distributed into the bottom left corner, and Jones was empty.

Of course, Jones will not let go of this kind of opportunity, shooting three-pointers and hollowing into the net. 3 to 0.
