Chapter 1419 1418. Am I that Kind of Person, Uncle? (Asking for Monthly Votes)

Nowitzki was defended by Stephen Jackson and shot 4 of 16, with a hit rate of 25%...

Jamal Crawford, the first favorite for the best sixth man, who averaged 19 points and 4 assists in the regular season, played only 12 minutes in the whole game and shot 0 of 10...

Eric Dampier, who ranked fifth among centers in the regular season in defensive efficiency, higher than Yao Ming and Howard, was defeated by Warriors center Andres Biedrins with 35 points and 11 rebounds...

With Baron Davis's big triple-double of 33 points, 14 rebounds and 13 assists, the Warriors beat the Mavericks 101-81 in the first game, and slaughtered the Mavericks by 20 points!

Mad scientist Nelson beat young general Johnson just like a father beating his son. Young general Johnson seemed to be afraid to fight back and was suppressed by Nelson's tactics throughout the game.

Little Lolita watched Liu Mang put $100 into his wallet unwillingly.

"We must eat it back! We must eat it back!"

...

...

Compared to the Spurs being overturned by the Suns, the Mavericks were slaughtered by the Warriors at home... The 20-point difference is not big, but the Warriors beat the Mavericks by 20 points, and it was such a crucial game in the first playoffs, it was really a bloodbath, and the heated discussion triggered was much more intense than the Spurs being overturned by the Suns yesterday.

The fans felt incredible!

Especially the fans who watched the live broadcast of the game and the fans who watched the game on site were completely scared.

The Warriors are not in such a good state, but they have a stable feeling of suppressing the Mavericks throughout the whole process, as if the records of the two teams should be swapped, and the Warriors should be the team whose regular season record is comparable to the three-peat Hawks.

The poor offensive state and the overall collapse are indeed the important reasons for the Mavericks' loss.

But even if the Mavericks' top scorer and second scorer are in poor state, they would not play like this. For example, Josh Howard, who is also in average state, also scored 21 points with 8 of 17 shots, and Devin Harris also had an outstanding performance of 19 points with 6 of 14 shots.

It mainly depends on the Warriors' defensive strategy against the Mavericks!

After the first game, in the short half an hour between the start of the second game, some fans expressed their opinions.

This is Nelson's revenge on the Mavericks!

The match between the first and eighth teams in the West, which was originally not worth watching, with a difference of 25 wins, suddenly became the most interesting game in the first round.

There is another question, the Mavericks were upset, will the Bulls be like that?

Among the four power forwards, Webber is no longer good, Duncan was reversed, and Nowitzki was upset. People's attention is on another No. 21 Kevin Garnett.

"Three super power forwards, they must be in place."

Liu Mang posted such a paragraph on Facebook, this time in Chinese, English may not be able to express what he wants to express.

Anyway, Americans will find a way to translate it themselves.

"Uncle, what does your Facebook post mean? Dina didn't understand." The little girl asked while holding an oversized popcorn bucket.

"Um... I don't know how to translate it into English. Dina, go home and read the comments on the computer. You go to the lounge and wait for your mother and the others to come. Uncle is going to warm up."

"Uncle! It's annoying that you don't speak clearly!"

...

After eating the nutritious meal, Liu Mang left the little girl in the lounge to wait for the two girls to come with their children, and went to warm up.

While Liu Mang and his teammates were warming up and listening to the high-spirited boss Price's promise about winning the first-round bonus, the games between the Bulls and the Nets, the Jazz and the Nuggets were in progress.

At nearly eight o'clock, the first game between the Bulls and the Nets, which was broadcast live by Time Warner Cable, ended first.

The Bulls narrowly beat the Nets 71 to 69.

Carter fought hard in this game. He played the whole game and scored 39 points on 16 of 40 shots, mainly 19 points in the last quarter. When the Nets only scored 45 points in the first three quarters, he almost helped the Nets turn the game around.

Unfortunately, the iron-blooded brother who bullies the weak and fears the strong made two mid-range shots at the last moment, killing the Nets' dream of a comeback.

Liu Mang felt quite regretful that the three power forwards were not all upset as maliciously speculated.

However, this score... makes people not want to watch the game video to study it.

But after the game in the evening, Liu Mang still had to endure the nausea and go to see if there was anything that could be analyzed about the Bulls.

It was another game between the Nuggets and the Jazz, which was broadcast live by ESPN, that seriously delayed the start time of the game between the Hawks and the Pistons, because the game between the Hawks and the Pistons was also broadcast live by ESPN.

Unlike the continuous live broadcast of the domestic court TV, the court TV borrowed the live broadcast signal of the United States, plus the live broadcast sound or picture of its own commentator. Usually, the games that the court TV wants to broadcast continuously are not from the same TV station, so the court TV live broadcast or the future Sina and Tencent online live broadcast often appear in the situation that the previous game is finished in overtime, and the next game has already started when entering. Of course, there are also occasional situations where the next game is waiting for the start of the previous game, that is, encountering the situation where the TV station that borrows the signal broadcasts two games in a row.

This time it was the latter.

The Nuggets and the Jazz played overtime!

After warming up and entering the court, Liu Mang sat on the bench, watching the game between the Nuggets and the Jazz on a small TV with a long data cable held by the assistant coach. After one overtime, the game was tied again, and the second overtime was played. Both sides scored 14 points in the second overtime, and then the third overtime was played...

Finally, at 8:49, almost 20 minutes had passed since the scheduled start of the game at 8:30. The two middle games were originally expected to end at 8:00, but it took 49 minutes. The fans began to shout for the game. It's almost time to start, I'm tired of waiting, the first game of the series between the Nuggets and Jazz finally has a winner.

After three overtimes, the Nuggets defeated the Jazz 144-137.

In the third overtime, the Jazz relied on Okur to make a mid-range shot, while Iverson scored 9 points in the third overtime for the Nuggets, helping the Nuggets defend their first home court.

The Jazz have a five-star lineup of Deron, Ray Allen, Kirilenko, Boozer, and Okur, and the Nuggets also have a strong lineup of Iverson, J.R. Smith, Anthony, Nene, and Camby. , this is still the case when the Nuggets are missing one of their generals, Kenyon Martin, but the Nuggets still have not fallen behind.

The key is that Deron is too young. Iverson scored 17 points and 11 assists in regular time. In the three overtimes, Deron was beaten by Iverson. Iverson scored a total of 24 points in the three overtimes. , relying on overtime to increase the score in a single game to 40+, becoming the third player of the 96 generation to score 40+ in the playoffs this season. In the playoffs this season, only the 96 generation star scored a single game 40+. After the game, he received the comment that "this year is the stage for the 1996 generation".

With 41 points, 14 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 steals, Iverson overwhelmed Deron Williams, who only scored 25 points and 10 assists.

In overtime, it all depends on physical fitness. In the third overtime, Ray Allen couldn't run, but Iverson continued to break through and score 9 points.

The referee received a notification that the game was ready to start. After the referee gave instructions to the technical table, the league official at the technical table announced that the game officially started ten minutes later.

"Iverson is so amazing for changing his style of play. A stage like the playoffs belongs to him. It's up to us next..." Liu Mang stretched, twitched his butt, moved around, and prepared for ten minutes. the match of.

The fans at the scene finally waited for this news and cheered loudly when they saw Liu Mang twerking his butt and waist coquettishly.

The Eagles were having a great time. On the opposite bench of the Pistons, not many people spoke from the moment they entered the stadium. They didn't seem to be impatient while they were waiting. Perhaps they wished the game didn't start and just declared the opponent the winner. .

Bosh looked helpless at the two big guys, Hamilton and Billups, who had already separated from the team.

The two big guys are ready to leave. Four years have passed since the six-year, $50 million contract that Hamilton renewed with the Pistons after his rookie contract ended. He can jump out of the contract early in the summer of 2008. By then, Hamilton is just 30 years old. He is an off-ball shooting star in his prime. He averages 20+ points per game and can get big contracts wherever he goes. The Pistons management may be as active in promoting Hamilton in the offseason. .

Compared to Billups, Hamilton's transaction value will be much higher.

As for Billups, he can opt out of his contract after finishing the playoffs this year. In the past year, the Pistons have not stopped selling Billups. Billups can still perform first-class, all thanks to his professional career. With his quality, he will definitely leave in the summer. Although he does not have the market that all teams in the league want like Hamilton, he will not be far worse.

Bosh recalled that just two years ago, his team could still win 64 games, and the 2003 generation was the most glorious one. Now...

With Iverson, Anthony is excellent in the playoffs; James, with Chandler and Peja, is ranked first in the Eastern Conference; Milicic, with Joe Johnson and Richard Jefferson, has a bright future , and Milicic is regarded as the most talented white center since Bill Walton; even Wade, who had the worst reimbursement for the season, also went to the Hawks...

Bosh looked at the chatting and laughing inside combination of Marion and Kwame Brown, the two people he will face in this year's playoffs, and felt that he was the worst one!

After Ben Wallace left, the Pistons' live broadcasts dropped sharply from 15 last season to 9 this season. There were no live broadcasts anymore. Bosh felt that playing was no longer fun.

Especially playing against the Eagles... no game experience at all...

In the shadow of the famous tree, even if the Hawks are only ranked fourth in the league and third in the Eastern Conference this season, in the playoffs, they are still regarded as one of the teams with the best chance of winning the championship.

In particular, the Pistons, who have played against the Hawks four times in the playoffs in the past five years and were eliminated all four times, fear the Hawks more than any other team.

Perhaps the Wizards and Hawks will have even less fighting spirit when they meet in the playoffs, but among the eight matches in the first round of this year's playoffs, the only team that has no desire to win is the Pistons .

The Warriors played with a bad mentality from the beginning. Arenas of the Wizards also wanted to beat James. The Nets relied on Kidd's defense and Carter's singles to force a critical moment. The Rockets Also has good performance.

Only the Pistons seemed to be ringing the death knell for themselves at the beginning of the game...

When Billups is bullied by a rookie, is there any hope for the Pistons?

Apparently not.

Rondo started studying how Kidd defended Billups in early April when he thought the playoff opponent might be the Pistons. Of course, Rondo couldn't do the same thing as Kidd did when he was at his peak, but he still caused a lot of trouble for Billups.

Rondo's defense was too chaotic, but he just happened to restrain Billups.

Rondo's current template has changed from Bobby Hurley, the No. 7 pick in 1993 when he was selected by the Hawks, a career shooting percentage of more than 30%, a three-point shooting percentage of more than 10%, but a very good assist and steal, and after retiring, he became a Hall of Fame candidate in 2005 by being a high school coach, to the "new generation of Kidd".

Defense and rebounding, passing, basketball IQ, these four points, Rondo and Kidd are very similar in their rookie period.

The natural enemy is Kidd to Billups. So far in his career, Billups and Kidd have played against each other 35 times, and the hit rate is less than 40% in the game... Billups' career average hit rate against Kidd is less than 40%... There are 17 games with a hit rate of less than 30%, and 6 games with a hit rate of less than 20%...

This time, Billups played for 29 minutes in the whole game. Although he scored 15 points, he only had a hit rate of 4 out of 14. If Rondo hadn't defended too fiercely, Billups would have been fouled 4 times by himself, and Billups would have played even worse...

Too miserable! Liu Mang looked at Billups being defended by Rondo like that, and felt that it was really a matter of one thing against another!

Natural enemy!

Players like Kidd are Billups' natural enemies.

However, although Rondo left the game with six fouls in the third quarter, Liu Mang felt that if it weren't for those fierce fouls, Rondo might not have defended so well.

At the end of the third quarter, with Liu Mang's 20 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 assist, McGrady's 14 points and 8 assists, Jason Terry's 17 points, and Kwame Brown and Marion's 21 rebounds in three quarters, the most important thing was Rondo, who only got 1 point, 4 assists, 2 rebounds, 3 steals and 6 fouls, but defended Billups to 4 of 14 in three quarters. The Hawks led the Pistons by 29 points with a score of 90 to 61 in three quarters.

Watching Jason Terry go up in the last quarter with Blake, Granger, Swift and Gortat, daring to fight in garbage time, 14 points in a single quarter, and forced 30+ in a single game, Liu Mang was jealous.

Back then, this was his time to score points!

Liu Mang felt miserable when he saw himself being replaced by Coach Kruger after scoring 20 points. He only played for 25 minutes in this game...

"Uncle, why did you only score 20 points... Bryant, Iverson, and Rahim all scored more than 40 points..."

Looking at the depressed look of the little girl, Liu Mang said angrily: "Those three guys are just stat brushers. Is your uncle that kind of person?"
