Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh five small against super center(1/2)
In the East, in the first round of the playoffs, the Miami Heat, who was third in the regular season, faced the Washington Wizards, who was sixth in the regular season.
Lin Xing, who was idle, has been paying attention to this group of duels, not only because there are several of his friends in these two teams.
More importantly, as a latecomer, his first reaction when he saw this group of duels was - Ye Qinghui!
There are four centers in the NBA, but the four centers have gradually withdrawn from the historical stage in the 1990s.
After that, there is the stage for the four major points guards and the four major forwards.
Four major points guards, Carter and Iverson, fought on the same team and failed to make the playoffs.
McGrady was originally a member of the playoffs, but he was sent to Motor City.
Although the Pistons rushed for a while under the leadership of Roaring Heaven at the end of the season, they still failed to make the playoffs until the end.
The only one of the four major point guards who made the playoffs was Kobe.
So, this season, the four major point guards don't want to fight in the playoffs.
As for the four big forwards, except for the German drivers who have not entered the NBA yet.
Webber is in the Wizards, Hard Stringer is in the Heat, and Duncan is in the Spurs.
Duncan was eliminated by older top power forward Malone in the first round.
The other two are the opponents in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
In 1998, when I saw the two of the four forwards facing each other, Lin Xing said "Youth" and there was no problem.
Especially, it is difficult to tell the difference in this playoffs.
In the five-game three-win match system, the Heat and the Wizards tied 2-2 in the first four games.
The battle for the fifth place was approaching, and Lin Xing called Xiao Chong.
"Stop cheating, Tim, if you cheat, you will be eliminated in the first round."
As soon as the phone rang, Lin Xing said this.
On the other side of the phone, Xiao Chong was a little speechless.
The main reason is that Xiao Chong is a little suspicious of his life in these four games. Although the Heat ranks higher in the regular season, the Heat were once considered a strong contender for the Eastern Conference championship.
As a result, the first round of the playoffs played like this. If you say there is no problem with the Heat, no one will believe it.
But the problem is that there is no problem with the Heat, at least on the surface, there is no problem.
Lin Xing came up and "accused" the little insect pit, which was actually unreasonable.
In the first four games, Xiao Zhu averaged 23.3 points, 8.8 assists and 2.0 steals per game. In terms of performance, it was even more popular than Xiao Zhu in the regular season.
Xiao Chong's teammates are not a problem. As the core of the defensive, the team's second-scoring special is averaged 17.8 points, 12.3 rebounds, 1.8 steals, 2.8 blocks per game.
This data performance is naturally not bad.
There is no problem with the Heat's role players, and Voshan Leonard, P.J. Brown and Jamal Mashburn also played at regular season levels.
After all, the Wizards played very well in this round of the series.
Princeton's offense is not yet visible in the regular season.
Because they were still working together at that time, after all, Adelman had just taken over.
Even if this Wizards hold the natural Princeton core of Chris Webber, Princeton's attack was not achieved overnight.
At least, it will take a long time to put together the original main lineup of the Wizards.
By the end of the season, the Wizards gradually entered the state.
They entered the playoffs as sixth in the Eastern Conference, but their true strength is far more than sixth in the Eastern Conference.
In the first four games, Weber averaged 26.3 points, 12.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, and his personal performance completely suppressed the hard special.
The first playoff meeting between the four major forwards didn't even have to play in the fifth game, and the conclusion was already very clear.
"To be honest, Stah, what do you think we should play in the fifth game?"
"How to play in the fifth game? How can I play? Squat and defend, increase the intensity, you still have a chance, otherwise..."
Deep down, Lin Xing is more optimistic about this genius.
Because the Wizards' upper limit is higher than that of the Heat, after four games, Weber and Uncle Huo, who are on the Wizards' forward, and the main control of the flying mouse Stadameier, are both threat points that the Heat can't solve.
Lin Xing didn't think that in a short time, Pat Riley could find a solution to the three musketeers of the Wizards.
Miami, the bug hung up the phone.
He did not tell Lin Xing that Riley set a five-game strategy that was decided by Riley was the opposite.
"We want to attack, we want to attack against the Wizards!"
Xiao Chong felt: This is why your judgment is wrong, Sta.
But if Lin Xing knew that Riley would attack the Wizards in the fifth battle, he would be more sure and sure-
In the fifth game, the Heat will definitely lose!
...
The Heat vs. Wizards' fifth-game battle is basically the last game of the first round of the playoffs.
I won’t mention the west, but the east is -
The Bulls swept the Nets 3-0 early, and John Calipari's NBA coaching career was basically final. Two words, failure!
The matchup between Pacers vs. Knicks is very strong.
The voice of Farke Reggie Miller was filled with Madison Square Garden, giving the Farke family another powerful player.
However, the process of the game was one-sided.
The Knicks won one game, with a score of 3-1, and the Pacers defeated the Knicks and entered the next round.
Finally, there are the Hornets vs. Hawks, and this set of matches are the least interesting game in the first round of the playoffs.
Only when the final decision was made, the media mentioned it: the Bulls' opponent will be Charlotte Hornets in the second round of the playoffs.
Lin Xing, who was watching the show in the Bay Area, sighed: In terms of the difficulty of the schedule, the Bulls are so much simpler.
There is no way, the west is strong and the east is weak!
Finally, it is this Heat vs. Wizards' five-game battle.
Lin Xing saw from the beginning and saw that when the Heat directly accelerated and attacked each other at the beginning, he knew that the Heat had lost.
But Riley had no choice, and it was hard for a good cook to cook without rice.
Riley wanted to squat and defend, but the problem was that he had no squat!
This season, the Heat played a bit like the Wizards, and they were power forwards playing guest centers.
The difference is that the Wizards were forced to reach the No. 5 position because of Uncle Huo Er.
However, the Heat's fastest-progressing player Isaac Austin has declined after rising the speed of light.
The center position suddenly lost trustworthy players, Riley could only let the hardcore play the center, and enable P.J. Brown and the hardcore partnered with the inside.
It’s not that the hard special team cannot play well in the center. Although the hard special team himself rejects the center, he is a big man over seven feet tall and is really a good player in the center.
The problem is that if the hard special plays the center, the Heat lack a player who can connect the entire defensive system together.
So this season, the Heat's defense has been very average, and they mainly rely on offense to conquer the world.
But it's time to compete with the Wizards to attack, and they are no longer opponents of the Wizards.
Soon, the Wizards gained the upper hand in this battle against each other.
The score cannot be widened, and the Heat have always had a chance.
Xiao Chong tried his best to turn the opportunity into victory.
Finally, in a breakthrough in the last quarter, the little bug squirted and twisted her ankle.
He fell on the floor in pain and wailed.
In the Bay Area, Lin Xing felt a little heartbroken.
"I'm done, it's all done!"
The Heat lost the fifth-game battle and were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs as the third in the Eastern Conference in the regular season.
Xiao Chong was also rushed to a hospital in Miami. Lin Xing waited late at night before dialing a phone number to Hart.
What was the result, as he expected—
"Tim has relapsed from his old injury. I guess he won't be able to catch up with the first half of next season."
Hard Te's voice was also depressed. According to him, Weber and Uncle Huo were also in the hospital.
As opponents, the Wizards were not the culprit that directly caused the recurrence of the old insect injury, but they still waited in the hospital.
"All good guys..."
Lin Xing shook his head silently. He knew that Xiao Chong's career might not be over yet.
To be continued...
