The Strongest Bishop in the NBA - Chapter 482

c475 battle of the best

The suspense in the second round match between the Bucks and the Nets is still low. Jeremy Lin is not Jordan, even if Jordan faces this Bucks team, it will not help.

The difference from the first round is that under the leadership of Jeremy Lin, the Nets can occasionally launch a counterattack.

However, no matter what the scene is, the result is still the same.

4:0, the Bucks swept the Nets and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.

A total of eight games were played in the first round and the second round. The players of the Bucks performed extremely well. As the team’s scoring leader, Durant averaged 28 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game, while Antetokounmpo also averaged 24 points per game. With 11 rebounds and 5 assists, Thompson, Embiid and Jokic also scored in double figures.

Every starter is stable, efficient, like a precision machine, just like the Wizards a few years ago.

…

When the Bucks advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals, the Wizards and Cavaliers were still fighting outside.

The script is pretty much the same as last year.

The slight difference is that last year the Wizards and the Cavaliers fought seven bloody games, and in the end the Wizards won the finals with the Bucks.

This year, the score of the two teams was 4:1, and the Cavaliers only lasted 1 game before collapsing across the board.

No way, the Wizards’ Big Three plus Gobert are all in the prime of life and getting stronger and stronger. On the Cavaliers side, Howard’s state has declined seriously, and Love has been unable to grow into a qualified giant. Although the offensive ability is excellent, it has obvious shortcomings. The entire Cavaliers actually only has James fighting alone.

Falling in the second round for two consecutive years seems to announce the collapse of the Cavaliers’ Big Four.

Although the Big Four won a championship trophy for the Cavaliers, the price paid was too great. The Cavaliers topped the salary list for several consecutive years and paid a high luxury tax, but only won one championship.

It can be foreseen that next season, Howard, Love and other players may not be able to escape the fate of being traded. As for James and Irving, the Cavaliers naturally want to stay as much as possible, but it is hard to say whether James is still willing to stay in the Cavaliers.

…

The Wizards eliminated the Cavaliers, and the Bucks will be the Eastern Conference Finals.

Last year, in order to enter the finals, the two teams also had a very tragic contest, and in the end the Bucks were even better.

This year, the Wizards did not have much reinforcement in the lineup, and even were limited by salary, the team lineup has shrunk further.

On the other hand, the Bucks not only have an extra Embiid in the starting position, but the level of Antetokounmpo and Jokic has also improved significantly compared to last year.

Under the ebb and flow, the vast majority of fans are generally optimistic that the Bucks will continue to defeat the Wizards, advance to the finals and defend their title.

The first match between the two teams was extremely intense.

Curry on the Wizards side felt overwhelming, scoring 6 three-pointers in the first quarter, leading the team to gain the upper hand in the away game.

But in terms of lineup, the Bucks are obviously more solid, especially the inside line. With the combination of Embiid and Jokic, Gobert alone is simply exhausted, and the Wizards’ starting blue-collar power forward can’t help. what a busy.

Soon the Bucks relied on the advantage of the inside to move back to the score and overtake.

Whether it is the starting lineup or the bench lineup, the Bucks are stronger than the Wizards. Even in terms of superstar heads-up ability, the Bucks with Durant and Antetokounmpo are completely worthy of the Wizards.

In this game, Antetokounmpo became the protagonist. Under Leonard’s defense, Antetokounmpo’s performance had no effect at all. He broke through like a bamboo, and even the best defensive player Leonard couldn’t defend against it one-on-one. .

The repeated bombing of the inside put pressure on Gobert, and soon he had to leave the court to avoid the edge due to the accumulated fouls. As the Wizards’ Ding Haishen Pin Gobert left the court, the situation became even worse.

The Bucks quickly established an advantage, and withstood the Wizards’ counterattack in the fourth quarter, and successfully won the first game.

In the end, the score of the two teams was 117:103. The Bucks won by 14 points at home. Antetokounmpo had 27 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists.

Of course, the reason why Antetokounmpo can make such a breakthrough is because of the fire support of outside players.

Durant had 24 points, Thompson had 19 points, and Embiid had 18 points. The three players, including Embiid, all had extremely accurate outside shots, which made the Wizards dare not let them go. Come on, no one helps Leonard to defend, so Antetokounmpo is naturally activated.

In the second game two days later, the Bucks won again. In this game, Thompson was overwhelmed, and he even made a three-pointer with Curry. In the end, Curry made 7 of 16 three-pointers and scored 34 points. Thompson made a three-pointer. 6 of 12 and scored 31 points.

When the team’s first core and the opponent team’s third-ranked players are exchanged one by one, it is not surprising that the Wizards lose.

At the end of the two games, the Bucks lead 2:0.

The major sports media can’t help but sigh, in the battle between the best teams, the Bucks are obviously better.

The best team team, this description is not an exaggeration.

Because of the best team this season, the Bucks and Wizards each occupy half the sky.

For the Bucks, Durant and Antetokounmpo were selected for the best team, Thompson and Jokic were selected for the best third team, and Embiid missed the selection of the best team because of his low attendance.

For the Wizards, Curry was selected to the best team, Leonard was selected to the best second team, George was selected to the best third team, and Gobert was selected to the best defensive second team.

The Bucks and Wizards combined have a full 7 best team players, and there are only 15 best team players in a season!

In the best defensive team, there are also Antetokounmpo, Leonard, Gobert and others.

It is no exaggeration to describe it as two teams occupying half of the NBA.

And whenever people think that these two teams were built by Wang Xiao, they feel admiration from the bottom of their hearts.

Throughout the history of the NBA, there are countless famous coaches, but there is only one head coach like Wang Xiao who can establish two super teams, and that is the establishment of the Bulls’ six-time championship dynasty and the Lakers’ five-time championship dynasty. Phil Jackson.

In terms of honors, Wang Xiao can’t be compared with Phil Jackson yet, because including the championships won by the Wizards, Wang Xiao only has four championship rings.

But you must know that Wang Xiao is still very young, and his coaching career is still very long, and there is one thing about Wang Xiao that Phil Jackson can’t match at all, and that is his amazing draft vision.

Whether it is the Wizards or the Bucks, the stars in the team were discovered and cultivated by Wang Xiao himself.

Although Phil Jackson has won many championships, he is still often given the title of only relying on stars to win championships.

Jordan Pippen during the Bulls period, O’Neal Kobe during the Lakers period, the growth of these players has nothing to do with Phil Jackson.

It is self-evident which one is more favored by team owners, a coach who can constantly dig out stars, or a coach who is good at using stars to win.
