On May 16, just after Zen Master's words caused fans to think about it, the Eastern Conference Finals between Magic and the Cavaliers took the lead.

The two teams in the Eastern Conference are close in strength. They both have their own shortcomings, but they also have strong points that the opponent cannot cope with. Therefore, this round of series will be a comprehensive test. If both teams want to eliminate their opponents, they will compare luck, rely on performance, compete for the coach, and referees, etc., they may become an important part of the final decision on the outcome.

In the first game, Mr. 20 million from the Orlando Magic continued to carry forward the tradition of weak battles when fighting tough battles. Although the old captain was not tough this year, Lewis was really outrageous.

As we all know, Lewis' strongest weapon is three-pointers. With his physical condition and guerrilla style, he can have the upper hand when facing most power forwards in the league. But this is only theoretically, but in fact it is completely the opposite. His scoring relies entirely on Warcraft to attract two players to defend. If he changes a team, Lewis will not be able to play at all. He is now a fixed-point pitcher without defense, not much better than UAE.

In the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Magic, which had been smooth sailing, met a strong opponent for the first time. Lewis was sleepwalking throughout the game, including outside the three-point line. Today, Lewis made a total of 6 three-pointers, but none of them hit. I am really sorry for the "most capable three-point forward" blocked account.

Lewis's style of play is destined to lack lethality. Once he can't find the feel or encounters a tough defense, his role will be greatly reduced. Just like in this game, Brand, who is 31 years old and has little flexibility in his legs and feet, can only play 70% of his skills at his peak, but this makes Lewis completely lose his aggressiveness. He made 2 of 12 shots in the game and did not get a free throw.

The old captain had a meal of dumplings today. He finally met the All-Stars worse than himself this year. In the last round, he was taught a lesson by Garnett, who also had only 70% of his skills. Unexpectedly, a good day came so soon, with 25 points and 10 rebounds in the game, and finally broke out.

LeBron James and Howard's performance was also stable. Both of them played dominant performances in their respective positions. Unfortunately, Warcraft's defense is stronger, but the offensive end is insufficient. When his teammates performed poorly, it was a bit unreliable to expect him to explode on the offensive end. Even though the referee's whistle was biased towards Magic today and gave Warcraft 18 free throw opportunities, the pain of Howard only hit 8 times, and it was far-fetched to expect less than 50% of the free throw shooting percentage to turn defeat into victory.

The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Magic at home with a surprise victory and won a good start. James was one step closer to the finals.

James scored 33 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists in the Eastern Conference Finals. Although the Zen master said that Panda brother had surpassed the Little Emperor, most American fans did not agree with it. They felt that this was Phil Jackson's show of kindness, not what he said in his heart.

The Little Emperor's performance is exactly the same as the Flyers' dominance in the playoffs back then. The former also only has the championship trophy like Jordan. Cavaliers' head coach Mike Brown admits that he is already a loyal fan of the "Little Emperor". "I try not to become a fan as much as possible." Black Bread said after the game.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, James is numb to the ease of defeating his opponent again and again, but on the contrary, he enjoys the feeling very much. After the game, he said: "I have always had fun in the game, and I also love the feeling of playing with passion."

The Clippers were maliciously thinking: James is indeed the same dominant power as Jordan in the game back then, but don’t forget that Jordan’s personal ability at that time was amazing, but he just couldn’t win the championship, so James, who is like him, naturally could not win either.

On May 17, the Western Conference Finals, which attracted more attention from fans, finally kicked off. Putting aside the results, the league's first and second offensive teams alone are enough to make fans feel excited. This round of games must be the best round of the playoffs this year.

The NBA feels that some of the Clippers dominate this year, but whether you like them or hate them, you have to admit that the Los Angeles Clippers are the best team with the best internal and external firepower equipment in the NBA league today, and the team with the best playing style. The Suns' speed and passion are still the craziest visual feast in the hearts of fans. A great series like the West is really much better than the East.

The Clippers advanced to the two rounds of the series by sweeping their opponents. The match against the Suns was their first game in eight days of advancing to the Finals. Such a long rest time is a double-edged sword. They do get enough rest time, but this may also affect their game state. What kind of performance will they perform will still need to wait for the opening. For the Clippers, a good series start is very important. The twin brothers are trying to lead the team to a good start in the series, and they will definitely do their best to help the team.

But today's game result disappointed the fans a little. The Suns' bombardment became a little distorted in front of the iron walls of Los Angeles. It seemed that the Suns were never born for the O'Brien Trophy.

The rebounds that Gentry repeatedly emphasized before the game also became a squad in the game. In the first game of the Western Conference Finals, the Suns only grabbed 32 rebounds, which was far less than the average level. What's more annoying is that Ji Guomeng grabbed 18 rebounds by himself, which is more than half of the Suns' team. The other giant panda also caught 20 rebounds, but the twin brothers grabbed 38 rebounds, which exceeded the Suns' team's rebounds.

The highest personal rebound value of Suns players in this game was 6, created by two people: Shaq O'Neal, Stedemeier, Channing Fry, the starting center, was sleepwalking in the rebounding stage, and only contributed 1, which made Bosh laugh. After the game, he posted a "1-board" ridicule on his Twitter. Unexpectedly, this action seriously ruined his character and was considered a counter-compensation for his future nickname of "Boyi Board".

Rebounding is the guarantee for the team to win. If you lose rebounds, the Suns are equivalent to falling behind in the starting line and showing their disadvantages. But for them, if they can play their two biggest advantages - fast break and three-pointers, they may still be able to overcome all difficulties and come from behind.

Unfortunately, as the outside world is worried, the Clippers are the team in the league that is best at controlling rhythm, defending pick-and-roll and three-pointers. Their strong defense has made the Suns' best strengths disappear. In the end, the Clippers are absolutely active in the whole game, while the Suns can only swallow the bitter wine of a crushing defeat.

Among all the players currently serving, Nash is the player who played the most playoffs and did not win the championship trophy. This result seems to have long planted the seeds of tragedy for Nash.

Even fans who hate Tianyang have to admit that the Suns' bombardment is as gorgeous as mercury, and the precise effect can even be comparable to computer synthesis. However, the Suns are still not a team with championship competitiveness, even if they eliminated the Spurs 4-1.

When the Suns broke out of the siege and entered the Western Conference Finals again, many fans already knew that the Western Conference team standing on the finals stage had already achieved results and could only be the new owner of Staples Arena.

Back to this game, as we all know, the Suns's talent is offense. Their three treasures in the offense are almost the most distinctive offensive weapon in the league. But in today's Staples Center, all the three treasures of the Suns were defeated by the Los Angeles people.

The Suns could not find the offensive rhythm that they were once familiar with in Staples. First of all, speed, which is the lifeblood of the Suns' survival. However, today the Suns' speed was at a deviation. In the face of the Clippers' offensive and defensive attacks, the Suns could not find the offensive step point, and at the same time could not stop the Clippers' fast attack.

The second is the Suns' pick-and-roll. In the past, when Nash held the ball to organize the offense, the Suns' high pick-and-roll could make many changes. Either Sir disassembled to the low post and made a strong shot, or Richardson, Fry and others used the low post cover to get a three-point jump shot, or even Nash's own quick breakthrough. But today the Suns' pick-and-roll was blocked by the Clippers, and the two brothers kept the Suns in the water.

The third is the Suns' three-pointer on the outside. The Suns are going all the way. The outside three-pointer is the most effective way for them to open the score at critical moments. However, today their opponents make the Suns' outside the outside without a comfortable shooting opportunity, which makes the Suns' entire offense not have the support of the outside. In the face of the strongest inside line of the NBA composed of twin brothers, the Suns, who have lost their outside firepower, cannot escape the fate of failure.

Finally, we can summarize the characteristics of the Suns in one sentence, that is, the Suns' offense is far stronger than their defense. Compared with the distinctive characteristics of the Suns, the Clippers' offense and defense are the best in the league. Today, the Clippers showed fans the offense and defense that the defending champion should have, and these are the heights that the Suns cannot reach at all.

No matter how magical and fickle the Suns' offense is, people in Los Angeles know how to curb the Suns, which is to cut off Nash's pass and breakthrough. Today, the Clippers completely frozen Nash's rhythm and had to respect Bilupus, who made Nash at a loss for the whole game.

Finally, let’s look at the performance of the two teams. Brother Fox scored 35 points in the first three quarters, and Brother Panda also scored the fifth triple-double this year in the first three quarters.

Looking at the Suns again, Nash scored 16 points and 7 assists. His passing route was blocked by the entire Clippers today. He could not revitalize the team with his previous needle thread. Even if the Clippers allowed him to score some points, it was insignificant to the Clippers. Stoudemire only scored 15 points and 6 rebounds today. This year, Xiao Si had no choice but to find that his athletic ability was completely at a disadvantage in front of the two brothers. Once he lost his athletic ability, facing the two brothers' double-teaming and assisting defense, the little bully was completely lost in the inside.
