Chapter 11 The Surprising Starter(1/2)
In the second round, another sweep was made, and the Bobcats advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.
After this playoffs, the Bobcats have played their dominance. Only the Thunder can be as hot as the Bobcats in the entire league.
After the Bobcats swept the Pacers, the Thunder killed the Lakers 4-1 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals.
The Spurs followed closely, winning two straight games, defeating the Grizzlies 4-2.
Finally, there were the Knights, and they were eventually forced to the tiebreak by magic.
The sparks became more and more intense. He guarded the penalty area, greatly destroying the Cavaliers' offensive system that focuses on cutting-edge.
It can be said that he withstood the impact of Lebang and Wade alone and killed the Bo giant.
In this way, the Knights fought with the Magic to tiebreak.
In the tiebreak, Lebang exploded, with 5 shots from 7 from outside the three-point line.
Under the leadership of Lebang, the Cavaliers' outside shots opened and threw the magic to death...
...
"I don't know if the magic is too good or the Knight is too bad. I can even play until the tiebreak, but I don't understand it anyway."
It was also the first time that Li Ke discovered that there were still things he couldn't understand in this playoffs.
Logically speaking, the Cavaliers' Big Three this season are paired with Billups, Caron Butler, and Bathir, which are high-quality role players.
Unless the Eastern Conference faces the Bobcats, other opponents, even if they don’t sweep, they should have a score of 4-1 and 4-2, and there is no chance of a tiebreak at all.
result……
"Sparks played well in this series, and he has made his own value back."
Everyone understands that even if the Magic this season reaches the finals and wins the O'Brien Cup, Sparks will not choose to stay in the team.
Spark's heart has long been no longer in Orlando, and he wants to go to big cities like Los Angeles and New York.
Only big cities can keep the sparks happy.
The Magic executives were just trying it out and left sparks for another year, but they were really the right one.
If you trade again this summer, Magic will definitely get a richer offer.
Magic executives have already thought about the slogans that are on the lips of external negotiations-
"Only by one's own strength, there are not many super giants of this level in the entire league, but there are only one trading. Seeing this, why don't you act quickly, what are you thinking?"
Li Ke, who couldn't understand why magic could fight the Knights until the seventh tie, touched his chin.
"Even so, it still has no effect in the end..."
He felt that it was not a knight's dish, it was just a spark.
Although Spark is a person who is happy, he is prone to losing his brain. He can do everything once he has no brains, and his character is a little bad.
Is it strength? Of course, it is still the top in the league.
Especially in this era when centers are scarce, as long as you build a defensive system around him and put aside the impact of injuries, Sparks will still be the peak monster of that year.
If the bobcats were allowed to face magic, they might not be as embarrassed as the Knight.
But sweeping is unlikely...
Thinking of this, Li Ke felt that the Cavaliers were still the enemy of the Bobcats this season.
"After passing the Cavaliers, the road to defending the title will be smooth."
The reason I say this is because-
In the West, the Eastern Conference Finals between the Thunder and the Spurs began first.
Surprisingly, the Thunder, who was in a hot state in the playoffs, fell down just after the first game of the Spurs.
Xiao Du met Xiao Ka. Although he scored 27 points alone, he only made 8 of 23 shots, which was terrible inefficiency.
Charlotte, after watching this game, Li Ke, who thought that the strong soldiers and horses were more dominant, shook his head.
"Thunder is still an old problem, and the rotation of the main players is too biased."
The so-called biased science refers to Rondo's organization, defense, but not long-range shots.
Tony Allen has defense but no long shots; Mike Miller has long shots, but his defense is quite eye-catching.
The so-called 3D player refers to having defense and long shots. The Thunder has one such player, but there is only one.
"The only real 3D player is Xiao Du. The rest either did not shoot far or defend. When it reached this stage, the problem was still too big."
On the other hand, although the Spurs won, the GDP is old and Xiaoka is still a blue-collar worker. The Spurs lack a real top star, so it should not be a concern.
So, after passing the Cavaliers, the two opponents in the finals were much worse.
...
The Knight who passed the magic breathed a sigh of relief and had to prepare again to drive Charlotte.
Cleveland, before departure, Gentry held three or four tactical meetings in a row, and always emphasized-
"For the Bobcats, the most important thing is not the destruction of their offensive system, the most important thing is the defense of Sheldon!"
Although Gentry's coaching career is not a success, no one knows the Bobcats.
Gentry knew very well that this year's lynx was not as good as last year.
Last year, the Bobcats' offenses were still diverse. Li Ke occasionally had a bad game, and Curry, Captain Jack, and Jamison could still stand up.
Apart from Li Ke, only Curry can look forward to this year's Bobcat.
But Gentry thinks he knows very well.
"The burden of Bobcats' offensive this year is all on Sheldon. As long as he locks him, only Stephen Curry can create a threat."
"For Stephen, what we have to do is very simple, Dwyne, you go and guard him..."
In Gentry's view, Curry, who averaged 25 points this season, is enough to solve the problem by splitting one Wade to guard one-on-one.
The rest of the knights must do their best to lock Li Ke.
"As for Sheldon, we need a comprehensive coordination of single defense and even supplementary defense."
“…”
At the end of the meeting, Lebang probably knew that in this series, he had to sacrifice part of his energy and focus on the defensive end.
The only candidate for Li Ke's direct single defense is Lebang.
To assist in defense and make up for defense, the Cavaliers must make changes in lineup rotation.
Valaijo and Po giants in the inside, as well as Billups, except Lebang and Wade, are unable to handle the important task of assisting defense and remediation.
For this reason, Gentry has also informed the Cavaliers that he will make some changes to the starting lineup, and it is not ruled out that he will be the substitute giant.
Letting the substitute of the Big Boss have a bit of touch with the bottom line of the Big Three.
The face of the giant Po looked very ugly at that time, but looking at Lebang and Wade who had no expression, he could only close his mouth and wait for the end of the meeting.
As soon as the meeting ended, when it was nowhere to be left, the Po giant couldn't help but start complaining: "Did you hear it? The pig Erwin said he wanted me to substitute!"
“…”
Lebang was silent, Wade nodded: "I heard it, but Chris, this is inevitable."
"I can't avoid it? Why can't I avoid it? Isn't it just to help defend Sheldon? How can I be worse than that old guy Sean?"
After hearing this question, Wade didn't know what to say.
Seeing that the two brothers were silent, the giants were excited: "fk, I don't agree with the substitute anyway, whoever is willing to be substitute would be substitute!"
At this time, Lebang waved his hand and said, "Okay Chris, I think there is no problem with Elvin's arrangement. The Bobcats are the defending champion. In this year's regular season, they played two games with us, one win and one loss. They are still the first in the regular season this year. We should understand how strong they are!"
"Do you remember what we did when we formed a team? For that Golden Cup!"
"If we want to pick up that golden cup, the first thing we have to solve is the bobcat in front of us. Everyone has to sacrifice for this, including me and Dwyne!"
In Lebang's view, he had to participate in defense more in the Eastern Conference Finals series, and Wade also had to play the point guard, marking Curry one-on-one, and they all made sacrifices.
Among the three giants, the only sacrifices that can be made by the team are the sacrifices in the team's status.
No matter how many of Lebang's long speeches have, they can only be kept in their hearts.
sacrifice?
What are you called sacrifice?
The giants snatched their fingers and calculated the time. Not counting the current season. In another season, he can leave Cleveland.
Unlike previous lives, although the wave giants in this time and space have not been respected.
But at least, in Miami, and Pat Riley, Wade was able to take care of his ideas.
In Cleveland, Dan Gilbert's mind was full of: I spent so much money on my horse. If there was no championship, Danny Ferry and the Big Three would have to be responsible for it!
Danny Ferry's mind was full of: I have tried my best to keep Lebang. What do you think of Chris Bosh? What if he doesn't matter!
Lebang's mind is full of: We are all sacrificing...
