The Menglong team successfully advanced to the second round of the series, which made everyone in Stern smile crookedly.
For so many years, the Eastern Conference has been dominated by the Bulls, Knicks, Heat and Pacers.
It is also true that some new teas should be added in order to continue to stimulate the ratings.
It's just that I don't know how long this new tea can last in the meat grinder-like Eastern Conference semifinals.
?Danzi retired last year, and the eastern group has no leader. The Hawks and 76ers seized the opportunity and both reached the Eastern Conference semifinals.
I thought the pattern of the Eastern Conference would change, but the Eagles were swept by the Knicks 4-0, and the 76ers were also beaten by the Pacers without any power to fight back, without winning a game.
Stern hoped that they would be the protagonists of the new era, and it turned out that they just cameo.
This year, but if the Dragons are also swept 4-0 like the 76ers and Eagles last year, the stimulus to the ratings will not be so great.
Stern was worried about the future of the Menglong team, and Li Ang was also worried.
He looked at the 76ers who were killed by the Knicks 3-1 and sighed.
Hey, as a man who can compete with me for the best shooting guard, ai you actually left first, how embarrassing is this for me?
Of the top five shooting guards, suddenly I, Lao Li, was the only one left to stand up.
I am under a lot of pressure!
What? Carter and Maddie?
Forget it soon, based on the performance of this pair of cousins ??in the playoffs, they are ashamed to say that they are the top five shooting guards?
Carter is a counter-attack dunk, McGrady is a blue-collar blocker.
As we all know, there are five of the four major shooting guards, and there are only two of the top five shooting guards.
AI's exit, besides making Li Ang feel sorry, was more nervous.
Even AI, whose offense was extremely explosive, lost to the Knicks, and the one with Maizi and Carter, who exploded with iron, might not be easy to beat the Heat.
After all, the Heat and the Knicks, the strength of these two teams can probably be equated.
In the original history of the 2000 Eastern Conference semifinals, the seven games between the Knicks and the Heat were the last brilliant performances left by these two teams to the fans.
But if you just hit the tie-break, it doesn't actually show how close the strength of the two teams is.
The most exaggerated thing is that in these seven games, two games have a difference of 1 point, one game has a difference of 2 points, one game has a difference of 4 points, there are two games with 6 points and one game with 8 points.
There is no game that is scored in garbage time!
? All games last until the last second, and the outcome is unpredictable. The two teams often have to fight until the last drop of blood on their bodies before giving up.
Well, in the game at this time, because the three-pointer has not yet become popular, it is not so easy to open the score.
Unlike more than ten years later, it is often spent in a wave of games.
? It was also a tiebreaker, the Cavaliers vs. Warriors in the 2016 finals, only one of the seven games was within 10 points.
The degree of excitement of these two tie-breaks is completely different.
After seven hand-to-hand battles in the dark, the Knicks defeated the Heat with a slight advantage and entered the Eastern Conference Finals again.
The two teams really fought against each other, and because the gap is very small, if they do it again, whoever fails to make it even wins and whoever loses.
If it is so difficult for AI to beat the Knicks, then it will not be easy for Menglong to beat the Heat.
Moreover, Li Ang also remembered a very scary fact - in the 2000 playoffs in the original history, Menglong seemed to be eliminated by the Knicks in the first round.
The total score was 3 to 0, and all 3 rounds belonged to others!
McGrady's shooting percentage in the entire series was 38.6%, 28.6% from three-point range, averaging 16.7 points per game.
Carter's hit rate is even worse, not 40%, not 38% or 35%.
Only 30%!
The three-point shooting rate is an astonishing 10%!
Don't ask why Li Ang remembers it so clearly, because Li Ang was very curious at the beginning, why the Raptors, who have two talented men, Carter and McGrady, couldn't even win a game in the playoffs.
So, he went to check the data with cheap hands.
And the data of the cousins ??brought great shock to Li Ang, who was still young, and completely refreshed Li Ang's three views.
It turns out that the cousins ??were so good back then!
I have seen those playing in the playoffs, but I have never seen the team playing together in the playoffs.
A 10% three-point shooting rate is equivalent to scoring 1 out of 10 shots. Li Ang thinks he can do it!
Combined with the performance of the cousins ??in the last round, Li Ang instantly felt that a 10% three-point shooting rate is really not impossible.
the?Dead hands, but the strength is already very sufficient.
On the Heat's bench, Bowen saw Li Ang's elbow, and felt as if his butt was starting to hurt again.
He may be the most nervous guy on the Heat.
However, this caused Bowen to hit Mourning with an elbow with a psychological shadow, but Mourning just frowned and didn't call fouls or talk trash.
He endured so hard!
As expected of a tough guy who doesn't allow himself to be carried down on a stretcher!
After taking this wave of damage from Li Ang, Mourning twisted his waist hard and snatched the ball.
After all, he is the one to compete with the four major centers. Li Ang's 80 strength seems a bit insufficient in front of Mourning.
In the subsequent offense, Mashburn continued to back McGrady, and Oakley had to help defend.
As a result, Mashburn flicked the ball out and gave it to Mourning.
The leader of the Heat did not hesitate, and easily scored the ball with a mid-range shot.
It is said that Mourning is a tough guy, but don't think that he will only be tough.
The technical work of mid-range shots and hooks at the basket is also Mourning's regular offensive method.
As soon as they came up, the Heat showed their powerful strength!
Li Ang clenched his fists as he watched the Heat score consecutive goals.
Lao Tzu is about to attack!
Because pj. Brown has been strictly guarding against Li Ang, so Li Ang has no chance to steal chickens in the middle distance.
Originally thought that this would completely limit Li Ang's attack, but soon, the Heat found out that Li Ang couldn't hold back at all!
When Mashburn was laying up, he was repeatedly headshot by Li Ang Tiesha.
Li Ang swears, he really aimed at the basket and went for the ball!
When Mourning grabbed the rebound, he was directly hit by Li Ang and Oakley in mixed doubles.
Don't look at Mourning's face that doesn't change on the surface, in fact, he is in pain, okay!
If it weren't for the tough guys who set it up here, Mourning would have to scream out.
And when Bowen was replaced, he even thought about the survivors.
He didn't even dare to touch Carter today, so he was very conscientious. Originally, Pat Riley hoped that Bowen would continue to consume Carter, but after Bowen played, Carter turned on the offensive end.
In desperation, Riley had no choice but to refrigerate Bowen today and did not give him any chance to play.
Riley is still wondering why Bowen is in such a bad state today.
How could he have thought that Bowen was restrained by a person who hadn't even touched him today.
After Bowen was replaced, he breathed a sigh of relief, although he needed the playoffs to prove himself. But to be honest, saving your life is more important than making money.
In short, Li Ang's attack today made the entire Heat team nervous.
Li Ang left a deep imprint on almost all the players on the Heat.
Why aren't bruises considered deep marks?
But this is a basketball court after all, not an octagonal cage.
Attacking alone is useless, you have to score goals.
Li Ang fought desperately with the Heat, defended desperately, gritted his teeth and fought against the opponent, fighting for every possible possession of the ball.
However, the madness of the two of them made Li Ang defend successfully again and again, and the possession of the ball he won again and again was wasted.
Throughout the game, the two of them would yell "Leon help me" from time to time.
Li Ang is speechless, what use is it for me to ask you two brothers!
In the end, the score was fixed at 88 to 79. The Heat's strong defense did not allow the Raptors to score 80!
? In the first game, the mighty Miami muscle group arranged for Menglong clearly. No player on the Raptors team scored 20 points!
Of course, the generals of the Heat were also beaten to death by Li Ang.
Although Li Ang scored 14 points today, they agreed that Li Ang is the most offensive threat player in the Raptors!
Li Ang panted heavily, and looked up at the score.
In this game, he really did his best, but the strength gap between the two sides was bigger than expected.
You can't win a game just by attacking and defending.
Both Carter and McGrady were very frustrated. Facing the Heat's desperate defense, they seemed to have given up treatment.
With their current state and scoring, it is estimated that they cannot be counted on.
Wanting to avoid being swept out of the game in a shame like the original history, Li Ang felt that he had to step up his offense in the next game.
If the Heat players knew what Li Ang was thinking, they would probably shed tears on the spot.
Have already left a deep imprint and need to intensify?
Great Sage, accept the supernatural powers!Li Ang's thoughts, probably will shed tears on the spot.
Have already left a deep imprint and need to intensify?
