NBA: No. 1 Forward

Chapter 385: prodigal son

?NBA: No. 1 Forward???

"A fan made a voting test for the 76ers online yesterday!" said the host of a local sports talk show in Philadelphia. "The test results show that 80% of the 76ers fans think, 'We don't have any hope of turning this season, I just want this **** season to end. I'd rather see these idiots play than watch them play. The team rebuilds!' Yes, Philadelphia fans have no hope for this 76ers!" Even local fans publicly stated on Twitter: "The performance of the 76ers this year is disappointing. The potential and ability of the team's cornerstone, now it's time for the team to re-select the cornerstone. If the Knicks sweep the 76ers in the first round, it will help the 76ers speed up the pace of reconstruction." Maybe this is just the excessiveness of fans hating iron and steel However, it is still not difficult to see that the 76ers' home fans seem to be less enthusiastic after several times, especially Yin Guodala's poor performance in the last game is extremely disappointing. On April 23, just the day before the fourth game between the Knicks and the 76ers, the Bulls and Pacers took the lead in starting their fourth game of the series. The Pacers have a lot of momentum this season and have improved a lot, but they don't have the strength to go further. There are still big flaws in the configuration of many positions. Stable, in addition to beating the Bulls, they lost the next two games to the Chicago Bulls. And this is still the case at home, they once again lost to the Chicago Bulls led by Ross, the Bulls currently lead by a big score of 3:1. The Bulls are very strong this season. The defensive system brought by Thibodeau has helped the Bulls build an iron-blooded defense. Although the offensive end has been criticized, they have Derrick Rose, the strongest No. 1 in the East. It is not an exaggeration to call Rose the strongest No. 1 player in the East. It can be said that there is no No. 1 player in the entire East that can completely limit Derrick Rose's performance. As long as the Bulls play stably, their offensive system will not have any major problems. Coupled with Boozer, Noah, and Luol Deng, the strength of the Bulls should not be underestimated. Of course, it is still difficult for them to pass the second round of the playoffs. After all, the Bulls' opponent in the second round is the Miami Heat. The Miami Heat currently have a record of three wins and one loss. The Big Three of the Heat have won two consecutive victories at home, but they came to the home court of the Eagles and lost the third game. Just yesterday, the Heat played in Phillips The arena defeated the Eagles again, won the fourth game, and rewritten the big score to 3:1. The Eagles have an advantage inside, but Al Horford still can't stop James' impact. These four games James scored 35 points, 39 points, 29 points, and 41 points respectively. The defensive lineup deployed by the Eagles in the interior was completely impacted by James. Of course, Horford's performance was the most criticized by Eagles fans. Although he is not as miserable as Yin Guodala was sprayed, but the form is not optimistic. Compared with the Eastern Conference, the Western Conference is particularly tragic. First of all, the battle between the Mavericks and the Trail Blazers was hard to tell for a while. These two teams have fought to the fourth game, and it is still 2:2. The Trail Blazers His toughness is far beyond the imagination of the Mavericks. Their head player Brandon Royon is full of injuries, but their fighting spirit is worthy of everyone's admiration. After losing to the Mavericks in two consecutive away games, the Blazers fought back at home and finally completed two home defense battles. Secondly, the Spurs lost the game yesterday at the FedEx Forum, the home of the Grizzlies. As the Spurs with the first record in the Western Conference, they are currently 1:3 behind the Grizzlies, who are the eighth in the Western Conference. No one expected that the Spurs, who have been a strong team in the playoffs all the year round and number one in the Western Conference this year, would actually lose to the Grizzlies, a "low-level" team. To be honest, this made everyone feel unbelievable . If the Spurs cannot complete the reversal in the next game, they will become the next team to be "black eight". The Grizzlies are a very young team. The Grizzlies joined the NBA in 1995 because they were first established in Vancouver, Canada, and they were one of the few non-American teams at that time. However, due to the team's record and ticket revenue, the owner of the Grizzlies, Michael Heisley, applied to move to Memphis, the United States, but the Grizzlies who moved to Memphis did not improve, and their tickets remained the same. Not very popular. Moreover, the people of Memphis are tough and guns are rampant. For a while, the owner of the Grizzlies even proposed to pay the government compulsory guns in exchange for tickets to increase the team's audience. Therefore, the Grizzlies are a little transparent in the eyes of some teams and fans. Moreover, the Grizzlies have always been known as the "shelter of garbage players". Before Zach Randolph came to the Grizzlies, he was notorious; Known as a cancer in the locker room. Play alone, don't pass. Bad conduct, easy to lead bad young people, negative attitude, always fighting alone, a lot of right and wrong off the court... Yes, these adjectives all describe Randolph before he came to the Grizzlies. Before that, the whole league felt this There's no cure for the guy. At that time, no team was willing to take him, only the Grizzlies coveted him for a long time, and only paid the price of Quentin Richardson, and traded Zach Randolph. up. But at that time, many teams felt that the Grizzlies were sick and found a locker room bomb. No one thought that Zach Randolph, who came to the Grizzlies, would choose the prodigal son to turn back. In addition, Gasol Jr., a second-round pick who was traded by the Lakers and did not play a game, of course later proved that the Grizzlies made a profit in this deal. But at the time, it was what Popovich called a robbery deal. Oh, by the way, the Grizzlies also have a drug-like Mayo. It is estimated that before this, no one would have thought that this group of "garbage players" would rub the Spurs against the floor, right? But it was the little transparency in the eyes of this group of people who proved himself on the stage of the playoffs. Facts once again proved that there is no so-called 100% advancement in the playoffs! …Lian Dao knew that the first round of the series would end like this. Even in the original history, the 76ers faced the Big Three of the Heat. Although they played five games, the 76ers at that time had Holiday And Evan Turner, still have some strength~www.mtlnovel.com~ But because of the Knicks spoiling the situation, these two players who should have belonged to the 76ers had a historical deviation. Therefore, the 76ers this season are weaker than in history, which is why the Pacers can surpass the 76ers in one fell swoop at the end of the season. On April 24, the day of the fourth game of the first round of the playoffs between the Knicks and the 76ers. Lian Dao got up early and came to the training venue for warm-up training. Lian Dao was particularly excited today. He couldn't wait to finish tonight's game, and then went to prepare for the game against the Celtics. Although the Celtics are still 2:1, Lian Dao knows that the Celtics will be the Knicks' opponents in the next second round. As the two teams most likely to be the Knicks' opponents in the second round, Lian Dao also pays special attention to the Celtics and Magic games after the game. Howard is still very brave. He scored 46 points and 19 rebounds in the first game against the Celtics, but the Magic still lost the game. His teammates were pulled down by the overall defense of the Celtics. Shooting guard Jason Richardson only scored 4 points, small forward Hedo Turkoglu scored 6 points, and the remaining power forward Brandon Bass scored 0 points. point. That's right, the Magic's starting power forward was defended by Garnett and only scored 0 points. This is the Celtics who played dead in the regular season and showed off in the playoffs. After the first game, no one will think that Garnett is old! The only one who can support Howard is Jameer Nelson as a point guard. The Celtics' defensive goal is very clear, which is to let go of Howard and turn to fully restrict Howard's teammates, and the Celtics' trick has indeed achieved results, and they have won home victories one after another. From the first two games between the Celtics and the Magic, Lian Dao already knew the answer. Even if the Magic returned to the home court and moved back to the game, Lian Dao was still not optimistic about the Magic.
