Chapter 402: The brightest genius of this era
Some players are very good in the regular season, but when it comes to the playoffs, they lose weight, and they always lose the chain at critical moments, and the data decline is even more serious.
But there are also very few stars who often break out in the playoffs and even surpass the regular season data performance. The best representative among them belongs to Mike Jordan.
After the game, Michael Jordan expressed his optimism for Lian Dao in an interview with the media.
"I watched him play in the NCAA. I underestimated him before. What I regret most now is that I didn\'t bring him to the Bobcats. I am very optimistic about Sickle\'s future development. I believe he will create an era like me! "
"Actually, it\'s sad to be in the same era as a genius, because the light is likely to be overshadowed by the most talented and luckiest genius."
"It is lucky to be in the same era as a genius, because the last place of genius is still a genius, and the first place of a fool is just the smartest fool!"
"And Sickle is the most dazzling genius of this era!"
Jordan\'s words caused an uproar, what is "creating an era", in the 1990s, there was no comparison with Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, Reggie Miller, Stockton, Ewing, Olajuwon, etc., these superstars of the year Superstar players can empathize more.
They are all "victims" of the Jordan era. Compared with others, Olajuwon is lucky because he won two championship trophies when Jordan retired briefly.
Among these superstars, except for Charles Barkley, none of them are optimistic. Lian Dao will usher in an era like Jordan.
In addition to some rules of the league, there are also some stars who don’t want someone like a “god” to overwhelm them. Even after retiring, they will still be awakened in nightmares and often feel overwhelmed. Not angry.
And some superstars in active service do not agree with Jordan\'s words. After all, superstars like James, Kobe, Durant, Pierce, Anthony and so on.
Each of them thinks that they are the bright moon of this era, and they don\'t think that they are just the morning stars around the children of the era.
Let\'s write a book
The performance of Lian Dao in the playoffs and Jordan\'s words are constantly being fermented on the Internet.
Some stars also refuted the marinated egg on Twitter, and some media also took the opportunity to hype, but more people believed that, based on Jordan\'s standards, nine times out of ten they would go astray. The man "cursed" by poisonous milk.
And some fans of Lian Dao even want Jordan to take back what he said before.
There was a lot of trouble about this matter, of course Lian Dao knew about it, and he didn\'t expect Jordan to be so optimistic about himself, but he was also a little nervous about Jordan\'s poisonous milk.
Although everyone pays attention to science now, he himself is an unscientific person, so he is naturally dubious about science.
But it\'s still too early to think about it now. Lian Dao, who doesn\'t have a single championship, can\'t even talk about creating an era!
…
Lian Dao\'s performance in the first two games also made Rivers discover that with Pierce at the end of his career and Jeff Green who is not very athletic, it seems that he still cannot contain Lian Dao.
Lost to the Knicks twice in a row in the away game, which made their dream of grabbing a victory from the away game completely shattered.
Now they are completely behind 0:2, which makes them return to the home court. The Knicks, with the prestige of two consecutive home victories, are bound to have high morale. The Celtics have begun to feel a little discouraged. up.
After all, if the Celtics lose again in the next game, they will basically be sentenced to death.
In the NBA playoffs for so many years, there has never been any team that can complete a comeback when it is 0:3 behind. If this were 10 years ago, the first round of the 0:3 playoffs could be eliminated directly.
Even the teams that completed a 1:3 comeback can be counted with two hands, and after two thousand years, there are only a handful of teams that have accomplished such a feat.
Therefore, when the Celtics return home, they must win two games before they have a chance to fight the Knicks in a final desperate fight.
The pressure is now all piled up on the Celtics.
At the same time, the other teams in the East and West have basically completed the first two semi-final duels.
Here in the East, the other semifinal is the Chicago Bulls against the Miami Heat.
The Bulls had the home court advantage and defeated the Big Three of the Heat 103:82 in the first game.
The 21-point victory made some media feel unbelievable. You must know that they are the Big Three of the Heat. Although the Bulls are very strong this season, more people just regard the Bulls as a dark horse. Uh, no, they are "black bulls." !
Before the game between the Bulls and the Heat, everyone was not optimistic about the Bulls. The Bulls are very strong, which is true, but compared with the overall strength of the Heat\'s Big Three, the gap is obvious.
Moreover, the 21-point victory was beyond everyone\'s expectations.
In the first game of the semifinals, James scored 15 points and Wade scored 18 points, which disappointed some fans who were optimistic about the Heat. However, Bosh, who is often the backer, scored a team-high 30 points.
In the Bulls, Derrick Rose had 28 points and 6 assists, small forward Luol Deng had 21 points and 7 rebounds, power forward Boozer had 14 points and 9 rebounds, and center Joakim Noah had 9 points and 14 rebounds.
The Bulls got 45 rebounds in the whole game, but the Heat had only 33 rebounds, 12 more rebounds than the Heat.
Not only that, the Heat contributed 16 turnovers in this game, while the Bulls had only 9 turnovers.
The chemistry of the Heat\'s Big Three is far inferior to that of the Chicago Bulls.
After the first game, the trending search for "Heat\'s Big Three huddling together without any chemical reaction" topped the list.
This incident has dealt a great blow to the Big Three of the Heat, but if you think that this will make the Big Three of the Heat slump, then you are very wrong.
Just on May 3, the day before the Knicks and Celtics semifinal G2, the Big Three of the Heat completed their revenge on the road.
At 85:75, the two teams staged a defensive battle.
If you say when James has the strongest defensive strength, it is probably during the Heat.
During the Heat period, James had Wade and Bosh as teammates, and he rarely became a father and mother again, so he will focus more on the defensive end.
Now James is not just slapping Zhan, and staring at Zhan, he can easily play the whole game in a game, and the Heat\'s tactics are actually very simple, that is, to play defensive counterattacks, which is exactly the same as the Knicks.
In the second game of the semi-finals, James, Wade and Bosh, their Big Three\'s battle for certification.
James scored 29 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, Wade scored 24 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, Bosh scored 10 points and 8 rebounds.
In addition, Haslem, who was injured at the beginning of the season, also completed his comeback in this game, scoring 13 points and 5 rebounds.
The Bulls’ performance in this game can’t be said to be bad, but it was almost interesting. Derrick Rose had 21 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, Luol Deng had 13 points and 5 rebounds, Boozer had 7 points and 8 rebounds, Joakim Noah had 9 points and 8 rebounds .
Among them, Boozer\'s performance in the playoffs was not very good. Compared with last season, Boozer\'s performance in the playoffs has regressed significantly. My heart is much worse.
Of course, it may also have a lot to do with Thibodeau\'s ignorance of offense.
If he really knew how to attack, he wouldn\'t be pressing the leading star to his death!
…
The Western Conference semifinals were even more tragic than their first round of the playoffs. The "future star" of the Western Conference, the Oklahoma City Thunder, faced the Memphis Grizzlies, who created the "Black Eight Miracle" in this year\'s playoffs The score was also tied at 1:1.
In the first game, the Grizzlies, the biggest "dark horse" of the season, gave the Thunder a blow in the away game, 114:101, directly at the Thunder\'s home stadium, the Energy Stadium. The field was silent.
The "Black and White Shuangsha" teamed up to score 54 points, and the entire Thunder home fans were stunned. Is this still the Grizzlies who can\'t attack?
"Bad guy black bear" Zach Randolph scored 34 points and 10 rebounds, and the directly abused second-year Yin Baka couldn\'t find his way.
"Spanish White Bear" Marc Gasol scored 20 points and 13 rebounds, completely overwhelmed Perkins on both offensive and defensive ends of the game, and Perkins only scored 2 points and 6 rebounds throughout the game.
I don\'t know if Detonator shed bitter tears when he saw Perkins\' performance.
Not only that, Mike Conley has 15 points and 7 assists, and he is fully qualified as the team\'s outside playmaker.
