One day after the Philadelphia 76ers internal meeting, the Finals of the NBA2009 season began.

In the first game, in Staples, the Lakers were at ease, full of health, and their strength was very scary, and they played a wonderful offensive frenzy.

The Celtics on the other side fought seven games with the Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference Finals. Although the team's health is not a problem, in terms of physical strength, the Celtics, who have many veterans, are starting to be a little weak.

The league's No. 1 defense, under the Lakers' incomparably powerful offensive firepower, was supposed to be discounted to a certain extent. As the NBA has become more and more focused on offense and defending the interests of offensive players, it has become increasingly difficult to win championships with terrifying defense, as it did in the previous Dark Ages around 2000.

Like the Pistons Five Tigers back then, the era of focusing on horror defense, with a level of left and right offense, relying on "I don't need to score many points, as long as you can score very few points to win", is gone.

In the face of the Lakers' indiscriminate bombardment, the tired Celtics did not play their best defensive level inside and outside. The whistle blew at the end of the game, and the Lakers scored 109 points at home, which is not a very high score, but considering that it is a defensive team of the level of the Celtics, it is quite difficult.

On the Celtics side, the offensive play is already good, and the whole game also scored 97 points, which is not much different from the average in the game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Unfortunately, the defensive end did not play to the extreme, causing Celtic to lose away.

Kobe Bryant, the brightest star on both teams, scored 33 points on a shooting from outside the court. Gasol on the inside also showed a pretty good level against Garnett, who had ravaged him a year ago, with a quasi-double-double of 19 points and 9 rebounds in the game. Plus 6 assists to revitalize the team.

The other two of the three talls also played well, with Bynum facing Perkins and using his height and reach advantage to shoot high. The performance of 17 points and 12 rebounds in the game was quite good, which set another tone for the Lakers' loss last year.

With a healthy Bynum, the Lakers already have the strength to fight hard with the Celtics.

Super Sixth Man Odom is also on fire. 19 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, which was scored in less than 30 minutes, and the efficiency was not low.

The Lakers' four cores inside and outside have played well, and it is not surprising that they led the role players to complete an average level of performance and score 109 points throughout the court.

On the Celtics' side, the physical impact of the Big Three is not small, and it seems that they have not fully recovered from the hard-fought battle with Philadelphia. On the offensive end, the performance of all three is good. But on the defensive end, there is a bit of more than enough to do.

Especially the core of the interior defense, Garnett, the defensive pillar of the whole team, seems to have spent all his physical energy in the confrontation with Chen Mu. has been scored many times by Gasol with a seemingly soft back single, but he is helpless.

Even if Garnett has obviously not entered a complete recession at this time, the gap has already appeared compared to the super physical strength of the peak when he ran for 40 minutes without breath and heartbeat.

Pierce had 26 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and Ray Allen had 18 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. Garnett had 18 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists, and the performance of the Big Three was beyond reproach. At least on the offensive end. The Big Three have given everything they have.

It's a pity that in terms of role players, the Celtics were almost pinned to the ground by the Lakers and beaten up. From Vujacic to Ariza, the Lakers' bench is on fire. The Celtics are struggling, especially in the transition period, when the Celtics are all on the bench, the Lakers still have Odom on the court. This gap has widened.

However, in the midst of the defeat, it is not without bright spots. Rondo, a teenager, seems to have found his groove after last year's championship baptism. This natural big-scene player scored a quasi-triple-double of 11 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists in the first game of the finals, bullying the old fish Fisher on the opposite side enough.

The first is an away game. The Celtics have just gone through seven tough games again, and the loss is not unacceptable for the Celtics team and fans.

At this moment, many ball critics and media reporters, as well as fans, saw the Lakers' performance against the Celtics, combined with the terrifying depth of the Lakers' overall strength, and finally realized one point:

How difficult it was for the Philadelphia 76ers to play Game 7 with such a Celtics before.

"What level of player is Pau Gasol? All-Star caliber player who has been the boss of a playoff team! And he also has Bynum sitting on the inside, Odom combines inside and outside offense, and Kobe Bryant, the most terrifying big killer in the new era, attracts defense. ”

One commentator wrote: "Even with such a unique condition, in a home game against a physically exhausted Garnett, Gasol just got a quasi-double-double. Judging from the scene, we all feel that Gasol is holding Garnett and getting back all the shame of last year. ”

"So at this point, let's go back and think about the Eastern Conference Finals that just ended. In that round of the series, Philadelphia Oracle Chen, who was almost alone on the inside, carrying all the hopes of the team alone, went to see the stats he scored. can clearly know what level Chen's strength has reached. ”

"Give the MVP back to LeBron? I think that reasonable people can already judge that this sentence is definitely a big lie! ”

Chen Mu, is he worthy of MVP?

Definitely deserved!

Even if he lost in the Eastern Conference Finals, Chen Mu's strength was recognized by everyone. As long as Philadelphia's outside line can bring more help to Chen Mu, even if Korver returns from injury alone, Philadelphia is very likely to step on the bones of the Celtics, enter the finals, and start a close Finals series with the Lakers.

It's a pity that this year's Eastern Conference Finals seems to have let everyone see the limits of Philadelphia, and also let everyone see how far Chen Mu can break out in the face of high pressure.

If there is no damn finger injury, even if it is a Celtic-level interior defense, Chen Mu can score an average of more than 30+15 data per game without pressure. Of course, the premise is that Chen Mu is the absolute core, and almost all the balls have passed through his hands.

Well, if any team wants to beat the 76ers, the idea is simple and straightforward.

First, to ensure that the team's bench strength is deeper than that of the Philadelphia 76ers. At this point, with the current strength of Philadelphia's bench, but at the level of the middle of the league, most of the strong teams can do it.

Second, it is necessary to consider the premise that Chen Mu can score at least 30 points, and ensure that in this case, the team can still surpass Philadelphia in other aspects.

To accomplish this second point, two conditions are required: first, you must have a power forward who is at least an All-Star level and can compete with Chen Mu. Chen Mu won the super data of 30+15, so the big forward in your team must at least have a strength of 20+10. In this way, the gap between the two sides at the No. 4 position is about 10 points and 5 rebounds.

How can we make up for the 10 points and 5 rebounds? The second condition needs to be completed, and that is that the rest of the team can combine to contribute more than 10 points and 5 rebounds.

Is this difficult? In fact, it is not difficult, the Celtics did this perfectly, Pierce and Ray Allen, scored about 10 points and 5 rebounds more than Iguodala and Carney. Coupled with the depth advantage on the bench, the Celtics finally completed a number of narrow wins.

"How do you beat the Philadelphia 76ers?"

Some critics have even written an article on this headline, analyzing the above strategy in detail, and finally concluding:

"Just like Jordan and the Bulls, who were still smashing insanely many years ago, a young Pippen is not enough. Jordan wants to score, just like Chen Mu wants to score and grab rebounds now, no one can stop him. But as long as the rest of the team can close the gap, the two teams can fight each other. At any point, the slightest bit of super-level play will make Jordan and the Bulls lose. ”

"To defeat the Oracle and his 76ers, you have to rely on this method."

As soon as the theory came out, many Eastern teams began to study it.

Because they know that the peak of the Celtics cannot last long, and in another year or two, the Celtics' Big Three will enter the late stage of their careers, and the East will be the world of Chen Mu and LeBron sooner or later.

So how to beat Chen Mu and how to beat LeBron is a common topic for all Eastern teams.

But after researching and researching, and finally determining the follow-up development policy, the brains of these teams found a problem:

All of this is based on the fact that there have been no huge changes to the Philadelphia 76ers roster.

If the Philadelphia 76ers make a big move in the offseason, wouldn't it all be for nothing?

So far, the news that broke out from Philadelphia is only the possibility of welcoming back Alan Iverson. Many teams have made judgments, and the chips given by Philadelphia are likely to be Willie Green, who is obviously outside the team's overall tactics.

But Iverson, everyone knows it's a double-edged sword. At his peak, many people criticized Iverson, saying that he played too alone, was too heroic, and had a hard defensive injury, so it was impossible to lead the team to win the championship.

What else can Iverson, now in his twilight years, bring to the 76ers? Come to think of it, it's almost all negative effects!

Don't worry, don't worry, nothing big will happen!

What if there is a top-10 pick in this year's draft? This year is a draft year, what amazing baby can you pick with the seventh pick? Impossible!

So, after a careful study of the 76ers, most teams still didn't take the 76ers too seriously and continued to pay attention to the Finals.

And the madness of the 76ers also started from this moment. (To be continued.) )

PS: Since you want to win the championship, you have to get everything done!
