Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Eastern Conference finals matchups have also been determined.  The Heat defeated the 76ers 4-1, and the Nets defeated the Celtics 4-1.

    There is no suspense in the second round of the series. The winning teams in the East and West are almost all All-Star lineups, but it will not be so easy next.

    The Heat and Nets are old rivals, so it¡¯s not surprising whoever reaches the finals.  The Clippers will not underestimate the Mavericks. Compared with the depth of the lineup, the Mavericks this season have an advantage. Both the starter and the bench are very strong.  With Love absent, the Clippers have problems with their substitutes. The Gasol brothers are forced to start, and two newcomers, Perry Jones and Robert Sacre, serve as interior substitutes, which is much worse.

    Thibodeau doesn¡¯t dare to start Jones. Although he has height and speed, it is difficult to guard against the experienced Nowitzki. If Nowitzki opens up, it will be difficult for the Clippers.  Ye Feng has to play the No. 1 position against the "fat" Deron Williams. In addition to the other players at the No. 1 position being too weak, he also has to prevent the pick-and-roll cooperation between Nowitzki and Deron.

    Ye Feng rested in Los Angeles for two days and did nothing to prepare for the Western Conference Finals.  This year's playoffs are progressing very quickly, and the remaining four teams are of equal strength. The odds offered by the betting companies for the two teams are not great. They believe that the Mavericks are likely to defeat the Clippers.  Basketball experts from major media also believe that the Clippers are not as good as the Mavericks inside, and the two starting teams are equal, but the Mavericks' substitutes Kaman and Brand are far better than the Clippers' two newcomers.

    On May 15, the first round of the contest between the two sides was held at Staples Arena.

    Before the game, the audience put on uniformly distributed blue T-shirts, turning the stadium into a blue ocean and cheering for the home team in this way.  The Pirates of the Caribbean symphony was also playing on the court, making Ye Feng really feel like a captain.

    Live broadcast on tn*t radio station, Barkley is still confident in the Clippers.  He said: "Some people think that the Mavericks can compete with the Clippers. I think this is a ridiculous idea. It is wrong to say that the Clippers cannot beat the Mavericks because of the incomplete lineup. In their first championship,  At that time, even if the lineup was complete, it would not be a big deal. With Ye Feng, the Clippers are the top favorites to win the championship, and this year is definitely no exception. In the last round of the series, the Gasol brothers have already filled Love's vacancy."

    Kenny Smith disagreed and smiled: "In the last round of the series, the Grizzlies' inside line was not particularly strong, and the problem of the Clippers' poor substitutes was not obvious. What advantages do you think the Clippers and the Mavericks have?"

    Barkley said: "The Mavericks' advantage should be their inside substitute, with Kaman and Brand teaming up. They are better than Serafin and Brandon Wright. The Clippers' advantage is their outside height, Collison and  Williams cannot play together, which will disrupt the Mavericks' habits. In addition, Vince Carter and Marion also suffered when facing off against Ye Feng, so the Mavericks should adopt a pinch zone defense."

    The game is about to start, and a close-up shot is given to Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle.  His expression was very serious at the moment.  In order for the Mavericks to win the championship, owner Cuban has done his best and assembled an All-Star lineup.  If the Mavericks can't win this year, it will be even harder to succeed next season.  Brand was acquired by the 76ers through bidding after he was waived by the 76ers. Brand will become a free agent after the end of this season and may not choose to stay.  After the Clippers end this season, it has been made public that there will be big moves in the free market.  Now that the Clippers are in a transition period, they are the favorites to win the championship.  It's hard to imagine how good they can be next season.

    Nowitzki is 34 years old this season and can still get 2.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists, but his shooting percentage is only 45.8%.  His offense relies more and more on jump shots and rarely attacks the basket. Despite this, he is also the Mavericks' leading scorer.  This has to do with his pick-and-roll play with Deron Williams.

    Ye Feng said hello to Nowitzki. Previously, he hoped that Nowitzki could join the Clippers, but Nowitzki has publicly stated that he hopes to stay with the Mavericks forever in order to repay Cuban for his kindness.

    The Clippers¡¯ starting five are the Gasol brothers, Harrison Barnes, Matt Barnes, and Ye Feng.

    The Mavericks start DeAndre Jordan, Dirk Nowitzki, Shawn Marion, Vince Carter, and Deron Williams.

    With the exception of Jordan, the Mavericks¡¯ other four starters have all been selected to the All-Star Game. Even substitutes Kaman and Brand were once All-Stars. If this group of people had been together at their peak.  The Clippers really can't beat them.

    At the beginning of the game, Jordan relied on his excellent jumping power to win the ball, and the Mavericks attacked first.  Deron Williams dribbled the ball across half court, and Jordan went to the outside for cover. Ye Feng bypassed Jordan and chased Deron.  Gasol blocked the breakthrough line in front.

    "Dean Jordan still has an amazing performance of not making free throws this season. His mid-range shot is nothing to be afraid of.  After receiving the pass from Deron, Jordan prepared to break through in the middle. Ye Feng turned around and blocked the middle. Jordan failed to break through and passed to Nowitzki. The latter passed to the right side from the outside.  Marion in the low post.

    Marion has already mastered the back-up technique. He leaned on Harrison and took a step, turned around and threw??ÖĞ.  0 to 2.  This move is not very easy to defend against.

    The Mavericks also planned tactics to target the Clippers' weaknesses in the opening game. The most inexperienced player on the court was Harrison. If Ye Feng played point guard, the No. 3 position would become the Clippers' weakness.  Entering the playoffs, Matt Barnes' playing time has been greatly increased in order to strengthen defense.

    The Clippers attack, Ye Feng brings the ball to the frontcourt, Marion defends Ye Feng, Deron and Harrison, Carter plays against Barnes, 32 zone defense.  Gasol moved to the outside to cover, Nowitzki defended the pick-and-roll, and Marion double-teamed from behind.  Ye Feng passed the ball to Gasol, Carter made up the defense, Gasol passed to Harrison, Deron made the pass, and Harrison passed to Barnes. The latter missed an open jumper, and the rebound was returned to the inside in time.  Marion gets.

    The Mavericks' tactic is to double-team Ye Feng and let two Barnes shoot.  Harrison Barnes has no experience, and Matt Barnes is not very good at offense.  After staying with the Clippers for several seasons, Matt Barnes has never been the main offensive point. He only gets very few shots in each game. His hand feels cold as hell and his offense is worse than Ye Feng's previous life.

    When the Mavericks attacked, Deron used Marion's screen to break through. This was a smart choice. Although Marion is short, he has played power forward in both the Suns and the Mavericks. He is better at covering offense and is also good at picking and rolling.  Cutting, these two advantages made him have a smooth time in the Suns.

    Deron met Harrison after being misplaced, holding the ball and breaking through to the basket. Harrison was immediately at a disadvantage against such an All-Star "stylish". He did not move slowly with his feet, but when he made physical contact with him, he immediately  A foul was called.  Deron also enjoys star whistle treatment and likes to hit people with the ball to look for fouls.  He threw the ball away and missed, but he got a free throw opportunity and made two free throws.  0 to 4.

    When the Clippers attacked, Ye Feng lobbed the ball from the right side to Gasol who wanted the ball in the low post on the left side. The latter singled out DeAndre Jordan.

    This season, Jordan averaged 2.6 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game. Not only did he show his strength on the defensive end, but he also made great progress on the offensive end. He can hook shots behind the basket in the low post and turn around for rebound shots. Centers with such abilities are very popular.

    In the past few years, Jordan and Gasol have played against each other many times, and they have always been bullied. Now they have accumulated a lot of experience.  Gasol took two steps with his back, feinted towards the middle, then turned towards the baseline and shot with one hand, and was blocked by Jordan on his first shot.  Jordan was at a height disadvantage, but he jumped too high.

    The ball was caught by Marion, and the Mavericks quickly counterattacked and passed it to Deron Williams. The latter saw that Ye Feng returned to defense in time and did not attack hard. He controlled the rhythm and waited for his teammates to get into position, and passed it to Carter on the right.

    The Clippers switched to Barnes to guard Marion, and Harrison faced Carter.  The Canadian Flyer took the ball and took a shooting stance. Harrison retreated a little and hurriedly took a small step forward. As soon as he moved, Carter immediately broke through the baseline and successfully passed the pass. Facing Gasol's  Cover up the defense and quickly pass the ball low to score.  0 to 6.

    Kenny Smith worried: "The Mavericks' offense went very well in the opening game. Now Ye Feng has to step up and score, and they must strengthen their defense."

    Barkley said: "The game has just begun. Harrison is a newcomer and will inevitably have to pay some tuition in the playoffs. The Clippers do not have a better third-position player. Thornton will play for a long time, but his defense  Not very good either.¡±

    When the Clippers attacked, Ye Feng came to the frontcourt, preparing to attack one by himself. He raised his hand to signal his teammates for a double pick-and-roll. Gasol moved to the outside to cover. Ye Feng dribbled the ball and broke through from the left, encountering Jordan and DeAndre.  Long's double-team, he passed the ball to Barnes, and ran low to the right under Gasol's center screen. Barnes hoisted the ball in, allowing Ye Feng to misplace Nowitzki.

    Ye Feng wanted to use his speed advantage to break through the frame. Just as he turned around, Carter double-teamed again, leaving Harrison open.  Ye Feng was forced into the low post and didn't have much room to dribble the ball, so he had to give it to Harrison who was open on the outside.

    This is a very good shooting opportunity, but as the playoffs progressed, Harrison began to feel nervous. Although he was the only rookie in the playoffs who played well in the playoffs this year, he was also embarrassed to be used.  Open three-pointers are also a hit.

    The offensive rebound was grabbed by Gasol, and he forced a second offensive shot from the basket. Jordan chased him from the side and gave Gasol another big block. The ball was picked up by Deron Williams.  .

    Today, Gasol was humiliated by Jordan twice and was not in very good condition. This is bad news for the Clippers.

    When the Mavericks attacked, Deron and Marion played a pick-and-roll, broke through on the left, and Barnes switched defenses. After failing to break through, Deron withdrew from the three-point line and lobbed the ball into the hands of Nowitzki in the low post. Nowitzki  Without any pause, he took advantage of the trend and turned around to break through. He successfully passed Gasol, jumped up in one step, and scored with a dunk with both hands.  0 to 8.

    This is a very beautiful goal. The Mavericks started with an offensive attack. QuicklyThe ship was in trouble.
