Chapter 351 Fighting is the elite!
The Wizards lost their first game, and the Bobcats won their first playoff game in team history. This is the first roar from Charlotte. The 22-point victory is their declaration. !
After the game, Charlotte fell into a sea of joy, and all the fans walked through the streets to celebrate, this is a rare victory!
Although the lineup of the Bobcats seems to be much better than the equipment, after all, the boss of the Wizards, Arenas, is doubtful. In the final game, they always had an advantage. It may be that the Bobcats lost one after another, which made the fans of the Bobcats no longer as confident as when Gao Tian first came.
Therefore, although the Bobcats achieved a wave of third consecutive victories in NBA history in the final stage of the regular season, this does not make fans believe that the team can still be so strong in the playoffs. The ingredients are complicated, and because the team has been poor and weak for many years since its establishment, Bobcats fans do not have the confidence that fans of a true playoff-level team should have.
But now a big victory makes everything completely different. Bobcats fans are confident. Although there are still many fans who are happy on the surface, they still have a wait-and-see attitude towards the team's playoff trend in their hearts. At least for now They can be superficially happy and proud of the team's bright future.
And the confidence of the fans can directly reflect the players' self-confidence and status. Although the Bobcats played well in the first game, it was based on the fact that Gao Tian almost arranged all the points when the team was unable to score. A state, if you only look at the scoring of the three rookies in the Bobcats, it is found that they are not playing well, compared to their performance in the final period of the regular season.
Perhaps compared to many rookies, their performance in the first playoffs is already very good, but this is still far from Stotts' requirements, and even their own requirements, not their own requirements. The requirements are too high, but in such a team that has several players who were once very strong, or are now very strong, even if no one tells them, they will consciously demand themselves with the highest standards, although it is impossible for them Come up with data like Gao Tian, but they also have to be worthy of the constant blows and trials they have endured for a season.
The Wizards' first game against the Bobcats in the first round did not receive much attention, because almost everyone's attention was on the West. The defending champion Suns played against the strong Houston Rockets, and their first game attracted A large number of spectators. After the All-Star Game, the Yao-Mai combination ranked first in the league in points per game. This is an amazing performance. In addition, the Rockets have a large number of good quality role players, such as The 3D player on the outside, Battier, and Diamond Scola who is partnered with Yao Ming on the inside, and Alston, the streetball king known as the most gorgeous dribbler, in the open space. This high configuration also makes everyone I think the Rockets can play a bright performance against the defending champion Sun.
Especially in the last stage of Yao Ming's regular season, he averaged 28.2 points + 12.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game. The Suns are relatively vulnerable to their inside line. Although they have an inside defense gate, Kwame Brown, but he is present At this time, it will greatly hinder the attack of the sun, and he may not be able to restrain Yao Ming, who is in a hot state. At this time, no one dares to say that he is better than Yao Ming. Even the momentum is also very strong, and his performance is very impressive , The head of the Magic team, Dwight Howard, when the reporter interviewed him, this character has always been carefree, and he has become very humble even if he doesn't think he is the number one center player in the league.
After all, in the last game between the Magic and the Rockets, Yao Ming scored 42 points and 22 rebounds on his head. However, he was only defended by Yao Ming with 12 of 2 shots, [-] points and [-] rebounds. , which made him look extremely embarrassed. In this matchup, which was almost the number one center in the league, he was ruled submissively without a trace of temper.
In the first game between the Rockets and the Suns, the atmosphere in Phoenix's American West Arena was still as hot as ever, but in the matchup with the Rockets, they did not win the game.
Yao Ming only scored 26 points and 14 rebounds in this game. It was very difficult for the Suns to go forward regardless of the cost and flank defense, and it was very difficult for Yao Ming to receive and pass the ball. In addition, he was plagued by fouls in this game, so His performance in this game was very sluggish.
However, the Suns paid a huge price for this. The originally strong outside line was blown up by McGrady alone, with 46 points, 14 assists, 11 rebounds, and [-] of [-] three-pointers. McGrady's response when the Suns chose to flank Yimin and prevent Yao Ming from scoring!
122: 118!
This is the final score of the two sides. The Rockets only won by four points. There was a very small point difference, but they won. They counterattacked under the circumstances that were not favored by everyone, and beheaded the defending champion!
Gao Tian, who returned home, watched the video of the whole game. When he saw McGrady on the outside, scoring goals one after another confidently, Gao Tian couldn't help shaking his head slightly.
Only he knows how strong McGrady is now. It can be said that the sun's choice is not wrong. After all, if Yao Ming is allowed to open, they can't defend at all, so they choose to test the Rockets' outside touch. The answer is that he made 32 of 14 three-pointers, less than 50% of his shots, but this idea touched the heart of the Suns.
In fact, from Gao Tian's point of view, the sun is a bit at the end of the day. What is the strongest in the sun?It should be their offense, the offense that makes the entire league fearful. Although it is true that the Suns have improved their defense after some reinforcements, offense is still their most advantageous means and weapon, and Choosing to spend more energy on the defensive end, they are undoubtedly giving up some offense.
Perhaps in their view, there is nothing wrong with this, because even if they did not show the strongest strength, they still only lost four points to the Rockets, which means that they can still take the initiative in the game, but the reality Will it really be as easy as they imagined?
Obviously not, although it is difficult for the Rockets to pass the sun, they will beat the sun very hard. In Gao Tian's opinion, at least six games will be played in my series. It is very difficult for the sun to be within five games, or even six games. If the Rockets are eliminated on the court, a tie-break is also possible, as long as the Rockets are tough enough.
There is no doubt that this will be a bayonet game. Every minute and every second is a must for the players on both sides. Every attack and every defense, they will not take it lightly. This is extremely demanding for the players on both sides. Gao, even if the Suns are sold out, the Rockets will also meet strong opponents in the second round, so Gao Tian is not optimistic about the Suns' path to promotion.
It's a really fun game.
