nba playoffs are exciting, and the competition between the East and the West is very cruel. The specific battle results are as follows: Green Army 1-0 Heat , Cavaliers 2-0 Magic , 76 people 0-2 Knicks , Bucks 1-0 Pacers , Thunder 1-0 Pelicans , Clippers 1-0 Mavericks, Nuggets 1-0 Lakers, Timberwolves 1-0 Suns. As of now, no team in the league has completed the following victory. This is a reflection of the gap in team strength and also the reason why the team is not living up to expectations! Especially in the matchup between the Knicks and the 76ers, the 76ers' lineup integrity and strength are not inferior to the Knicks, but the Knicks take turns humiliating the 76ers. The spirit of the two teams is not at the same level, and it also affects the series invisibly. The trend of the game.
Turning the time back to the final stage of the regular season, the Philadelphia 76ers are in the playoff zone, the Miami Heat are lying in the playoff zone, and the Milwaukee Bucks and Cleveland Cavaliers are both acting to deliberately lose to avoid being in the playoffs. In the first round of the game, they met the 76ers and Heat, two tough bones to crack, but the New York Knicks did the opposite! Even though Randall was reimbursed for the season early, Brunson still led the remaining team to advance all the way! Especially on the final day of the regular season, when the Bucks defeated the Magic by 25 points and the Pacers beat the Hawks by 42 points, the Knicks originally had the opportunity to choose to start the playoffs as third in the Eastern Conference to face a weaker team. The Pacers, but they became the most passionate rebels. They fought hard with the Bulls until overtime, overtaking the Bucks and rising to second place in the Eastern Conference! This is the Iron Army built by Thibodeau. He never picks an opponent, just do it!
In the first round of the Eastern Conference Finals playoffs, there are four groups of matchups. The Celtics vs. the Heat, the Knicks vs. the 76ers, the Magic vs. the Cavaliers, and the Bucks vs. the Pacers. In the eyes of many people, the 76ers are the most promising team to defeat them. ! On the one hand, Randall's season reimbursement has a fatal impact on the team's offensive and defensive system. The 76ers have enough defensive resources to strangle Brunson, the Knicks' only arrowhead; on the other hand, the Emperor and Maxi both have top-level players. The single-point blasting ability, Lowry and Batum are both treasure old boys, and the 76ers' lineup depth and experience are also far above the Knicks! But having said that, the playoff series is not just a matter of paper, it is not only about strength, but also about temperament! At least judging from the first two rounds of the match between the two teams, the Knicks' toughness and mental attributes have crushed the 76ers.
In the G1 series, the Knicks outrebounded the 76ers 55-33 and outrebounded the 76ers 23-8 in the offensive rebounds. They took a huge 14-point lead early. Emperor and Maxi teamed up to score 62 points +10 Rebounds + 10 assists led the team to overtake the score. However, in the final quarter that determined the outcome of the game, the Knicks won by 10 points in a single quarter, refusing to reverse a 14-point reversal and winning first! In series G2, the Emperor and Maxi teamed up to score 69 points, 19 rebounds, and 16 assists. The 76ers led by 6 points with 14 seconds left in the game, but the Knicks played an 8-0 wave to complete a divine reversal. Maxi made a mistake. , was blocked, and blamed, the Emperor missed the winning three-pointer, and the Knicks narrowly won by three points!
First of all, we must admit that the 76ers have shown their advantages on both offense and defense.On the offensive end, the emperor's killing and shooting are very aggressive, and the Knicks have no way to defend alone; Maxi's assault and long-range shots are also full of passion and confidence, which also gives the Knicks a headache. Both the emperor and Maxi have shown the same performance in the field. Cut down 30+ strength! On the defensive end, Nurse knows how to catch the thief first, and his restrictions on Brunson can be called a textbook level - in series G1, Brunson played 41 minutes and made only 8 of 26 shots (6 of 3-pointers). 1), 5 of 6 free throws, only 22 points + 7 rebounds + 7 assists; in series g2, Brunson played 37 minutes, 8 of 29 shots (1 of 6 three-pointers), 7 of 9 free throws, only Got 24 points + 8 rebounds + 6 assists!
Brunson failed greatly, but the Knicks took a 2-0 lead in the series, which was more or less heartbreaking. You have to admire the Knicks' resilience! Brunson's personal offensive power was greatly reduced, but he created "gravitation". Fortunately, everyone around Brunson dared to fight and fight, and there was always someone who stepped forward to punish the 76ers' defense! Take g1 as an example. Hart stepped forward and scored 22 points + 13 rebounds + 4 three-pointers. He scored 3 three-pointers in the final quarter and scored 13 points, as if Mamba was possessed; let's take g2 as an example. , faced with a desperate situation of falling behind by 6 points in 14 seconds, Brunson's magical three-pointer had an element of luck, Hart's steal, Harten's offensive rebound, DiVincenzo's go-ahead three-pointer and Hart's Maxey's nail plate hat was like a set of combo punches, completely destroying the 76ers' defense, including their psychological defense!
The ability of this Eastern giant to change its destiny is daunting, and it also makes the 76ers who believe in the process feel ashamed - in competitive sports, the winners and losers, the 76ers once again paid a heavy price for their arrogance and underestimation of the enemy! According to statistics, when the 76ers fell behind 0-2 in the series, their series record was 0 wins and 14 losses! God helps those who help themselves. I hope the 76ers can learn from their shame and act bravely, otherwise, they will have no chance of winning against the tough Knicks! Looking back at the Knicks, they are playing the most passionate basketball. Everyone is for me and I am for everyone. They are expected to become a disruptor in the Eastern Conference. Even the Green Army, the dominant force in the Eastern Conference, must be careful. They must not ignore this remnant Knicks! The Green Army is a strong technical team and is not afraid of any technical opponents, including the Bucks, 76ers, and Cavaliers. However, it is very afraid of the Knicks, who are full of physical confrontation. They hope that the Knicks can reach the Eastern Conference Finals and give the Green Army a chance to win. The army must create some trouble, otherwise, the Green Army will be completely flat in the east, which would be too boring. Fans and friends, what do you think of this? Come and leave me a comment to discuss.
