Chapter 843
The Celtics suddenly collapsed again.
And this collapse was not just the score and the victory of this game, but the entire Celtics team's belief in winning.
3:0.
A doomed ending.
Then what is the point of struggling?
The key... the Bulls wouldn't give any chance either, taking advantage of the victory to pursue, and took the Celtics away in one wave.
The Bulls swept the Green Army 4:0 and became the first team to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.
The series between the Spurs and the Rockets.
The addition of Ray Allen made the Spurs' offensive firepower grow a lot, and they are a big defensive team.
This made the Spurs' offense and defense ridiculously strong.
The Rockets couldn't handle it at all; they didn't even have a shred of ability to fight back.
4:0.
The Spurs also swept the Rockets to advance!
The incomparably strong performance made countless fans feel that the Spurs are this year's Western Conference champions.
They will definitely be able to rush out of the West and step onto the finals stage.
Odd year + strongest offensive and defensive lineup!
The Spurs' championship calls this year have also become higher and higher after two rounds of sweeps.
The series between the Suns and the Mavericks.
Originally, everyone thought the Suns would take the lead, and their "run-and-gun" would be too much for the Mavericks.
Who knew... "German Tank" Nowitzki, his performance in the playoffs is really strong.
One "Golden Rooster Independent" after another is really unsolvable.
The Suns can bring up the speed, can fire infinitely from the outside, and even hit three-pointers in a row.
But.
The Mavericks are not panicked at all.
Steady and steady, finally giving the basketball to Nowitzki.
As long as he has the ball, as long as he finds a suitable shooting opportunity, that weird one-legged lift shot, that Golden Rooster Independent facing the defense.
Every shot looks very difficult.
But it hits again and again.
This made the two teams go back and forth, evenly matched, and for a moment it was hard to tell who was higher.
In the first game, the two teams played until the last minute of the last quarter.
The point difference was only two points.
Although the Mavericks were behind, they held the ball, and Nowitzki, at the top of the right arc, forced a three-pointer against Stoudemire's defense.
The difficulty is imaginable.
But.
He hit this three-pointer that was extremely critical and even killed the game very unreasonably.
Pressure given to the Suns.
They still pushed the speed up, but... the more critical the moment, the greater the pressure, and if you go to shoot, the risk of hitting is also higher.
What?!
"Clang!"
Nash created a shooting opportunity for Lewis, but his "little heart" couldn't grasp it, and the basketball hit the iron.
Rebound?!
"Hah!"
Nowitzki stood under the basket, jumped high with a roar, and grabbed the rebound before everyone else.
A critical three-pointer, a critical rebound, Nowitzki cremated the Suns.
At the America West Arena.
They took the lead at the Suns' home court and won the first game of the series.
37 points, 14 rebounds, 4 blocks.
Gorgeous data, amazing performance, this battle made Nowitzki's fame soar.
Are the Mavericks going to commit an offense against their superiors?!
There is hope.
But it's not that easy.
The Suns' "run-and-gun whirlwind," "seven-second fast break," are not just talk; they really have amazing offensive firepower.
Once an opportunity arises, once they are allowed to play a wave of counterattacks, the opponent cannot handle it at all.
Nowitzki played really well in the first game, this cannot be denied, but the series is a 7-game 4-win system.
Winning one game does not determine the winning momentum of the entire series.
G2.
The calm Suns team continued to play out their team's offensive style.
The full-fire outside shooting and fast breaks caught the whole Mavericks team off guard.
Nowitzki's personal performance was still impeccable.
But the one who won the game was the Suns.
G3 the Suns took advantage of the victory to attack the Mavericks again, G4 the Mavericks stabilized their home court, bringing the series score to 2:2.
After returning to the Suns' home court for G5, the Suns played more and more calmly and confidently.
The whole team's feel was hotter, and once the offensive storm was played out, the current Mavericks were still a bit unable to handle it.
The Suns won the pivotal game.
G6 match point battle.
The Mavericks were in a desperate situation and had to win.
But the Suns didn't want to drag the series to a Game 7, didn't want any worries.
Just take the Mavericks in this game.
So much so that the two teams broke out in a fierce battle from the beginning, and the game rapidly entered a white-hot state.
The score was also alternating leads, the situation seemed to have reached the state of the first game of the series, neither giving way to the other, neither able to beat the other.
Soon.
The fierce battle reached the last minute again.
The moment to fight for superstars, did Nowitzki stand up again tonight?!
No.
He didn't stand up.
This is 2005, not 2011, the "German Tank" has not yet grown into "King Now."
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
Two three-pointers hit the iron.
Nowitzki personally buried the Mavericks' season, and also made the indignant fans call him a "softie" who only knows how to shoot from the outside and dares not attack the basket.
In fact... throughout the series, Nowitzki was the best player on the Mavericks team.
But there is no way.
Winner takes all.
Failure means getting beaten.
This is something Nowitzki must experience on the road to growing into "King Now"!
Fortunately, boss Cuban has always believed in Nowitzki's strength and potential, and he has always given Nowitzki encouragement!
This is a very correct behavior.
The series between the 76ers and the Heat.
