Chapter 702 The Slow Green Army
The four groups in the Eastern Conference are more interesting. They played four, five, six, and seven games respectively...
The only thing that got swept away was——
Atlanta Hawks.
How can it be good to hit the defending champion?
The Charlotte Bobcats' win is almost twice that of the Eagles. This is not a contest between players of the same magnitude. The Bobcats have an average net difference of more than 20 points per game, and the Eagles have no power to fight back.
The second promotion is the Orlando Magic.
The Magic's lineup this season is quite strong. It can be said that the combination of high and low inside and outside is reasonable, but also healthy and complete, and the depth of the bench is not bad.
Reggie Evans, as a ferocious and ferocious blue-collar power forward, specializes in helping Yao Ni block people, catch rebounds, and assist in defense...
Partnering with Yao Bi is a match made in heaven.
He maximized the liberation of Yao Ming's talent on the offensive end.
It also needs to be matched with a healthy Tracy McGrady who is still working hard to defend!
If it weren't for the fact that McGrady and Yao Ming would have to rest in rotation, their record could go up, at least ten more games!
The Cavaliers are a tragedy, and the introduction of Fatty Blue is a disaster.
Not only did it not have any chemical reaction, but it seriously weakened the Cavaliers' inside defense.
Big Z's partner Varejao before, at least worked for most teams without heavy insiders, and the effect of protecting the frame is also good...
Since Fatty Blue came, the Cavaliers' inside line has become a vegetable market.
The other party's insider can shop however they want!
In this way, the two teams are seriously at odds.
Yao Ming averaged 40+ per game, sifting the Cavaliers inside.
At this time, James has not yet practiced the outside range. His offense and organization rely heavily on hitting the inside, but the Magic's inside is too hard.
The small tank of the James brand rushed in "da da da", and there were only two endings:
Or, get carried by Reggie Evans, dead ball.
Or, finally bypassing Reggie Evans, and then eating a Yao-style hot pot.
James is depressed.
Without a breakthrough, where did the breakthrough score come from?
The scoring was not guaranteed, the team organization did not keep up, and was forced to fly a kite outside the three-point line...
He averaged seven three-pointers per game and scored two at most.
Such James and the Cavaliers are obviously not opponents of the Magic. After only five games, James sadly went to drive the banana boat...
The third group:
Detroit Pistons VS Philadelphia 76ers
Since the disbandment of the New Jersey Nets lineup, the Detroit Pistons' starting five have become the longest and most fixed starting lineup in the league.
But the Wallace brothers are really old.
They are the same Geng, they are already 34 years old this year, they were so violent when they were young, and their knees were severely worn out, they really couldn't run, and they couldn't jump...
Detroit's no-fly zone is effectively dead in name only.
Plus, Hamilton is 30, Andre Miller is 32, and even the youngest, Tayshaun Prince, is 28.
However, no one is up to the task of building the cornerstone of the team.
The team has begun to secretly discuss rebuilding. If there is no achievement in the playoffs, this group of veterans, including the head coach Philip Saunders, will have to pack up and leave...
The Philadelphia 76ers are different. They are younger and have a relatively reasonable lineup.
Iverson has changed his style of play, and Iguodala, David Lee, and Korver have made great progress in these two seasons.
Tyson Chandler is performing what is called:
Peak blue-collar center!
In the end, under the leadership of Iverson, the Philadelphia 76ers fought the Detroit Pistons in six games with a big score:
4:2
Eliminate opponents and advance to the second round.
The most tangled is the green army, which is simply surprising:
As a Big Three team with 62 wins, they were inseparable from the Raptors with only 37 wins, and they fought until the tiebreaker!
Of course, this ending was not because the Toronto Raptors, the seventh in the East, learned from the Memphis Grizzlies and wanted to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers...
Take a look at the Raptors' roster:
Point guard: TJ Ford/Jose Calderon
Shooting Guard: Anthony Parker/Jason Kapono
Small Forward: Jamario Muen/Joy Graham
Power Forward: Chris Bosh/Chris Humphries
Center: Andrea Bargnani/Rasu Nesterovic
Compared with the Celtics, this lineup is so ordinary that it cannot be more ordinary. It is the difference between RMB players and whiteboards...
Moreover, the defense of this lineup is really not very good.
In the 2007-2008 season, the average conceded points per game in the regular season was 97.3, and the average conceded points per game by the opposing Celtics was only 90.3, which is a full seven points difference!
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the Raptors to defend the Hulk.
The problem lies with the Celtics themselves!
The Green Army struggled very much.
The Celtics averaged only 84 points per game throughout the series, shooting only 39.6% from the field and 26.1% from three-pointers.
In contrast, in 82 regular season games this season, the Celtics averaged 100.5 points per game, shooting 47.5% from the field and 38.1% from three-point range.
It's really two different teams!
The worst performer was Ray Allen, who averaged 9.3 points per game in this round of the series, shooting 32.8 percent from the field and 16.7 percent from three.
As a historical level shooter, he actually shot 16.7% of his shots!
What a dreadful degeneration!
Reminiscent of Jun Zilei who played seven games against Iverson in the Eastern Conference Finals seven years ago, averaging 27.1 points, 5.4 assists, 3.3 rebounds, shooting 46.8% from the field and 50% from the three-point range!
Three-pointers are more accurate than mid-range shots!
Even in the playoffs two years ago, Jun Zilei was not bad.
Averaged 26.5 points, 3.9 assists, 4.3 rebounds, shooting 47.4% from the field and 37.8% from the three-point range.
This season, although he was quite uncomfortable at the beginning, with the talent of a sharpshooter, Ray Allen worked hard in the future, and abruptly pulled up his shooting percentage, reaching 39.8%!
One can imagine how terrifying Ray Allen's shooting percentage in the second half of the regular season!
However, entering the playoffs, the gentleman Lei withered.
Not only him, Garnett and Pierce also lost the sight, but their range is short, not as shocking as Ray Allen.
The Celtics successfully defended themselves and lost all three away games in the series against the Raptors.
It seems that once you leave TD North Shore Garden, you don't know where the front sight is at all!
If the home fans are too enthusiastic, they will spoil the children:
Like the Boston Celtics, or the Utah Jazz...
If the home fans are as indifferent as the New York Knicks, how can the team care about home and away games, just play!
Of course, the players would rather be spoiled—
Who's out of their minds would like the atmosphere of Madison Square Garden!
The Raptors are actually doted on by fans.
In Canada, they are loved by thousands of people, and they are also standard home dragons and away game worms. In TD North Shore Garden, they also have diarrhea...
Ever since, the Boston Celtics finally relied on their own home court advantage to advance in the seventh game at the TD North Shore Garden.
Rather than saying that they defeated the Raptors, it is better to say that the game system eliminated the Raptors.
If the seventh game is played in Toronto, it is likely that the Celtics will not advance!
