Chapter 319 Long time no see, Spurs!
With a score of 4:1 in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Charlotte Bobcats stepped on the body of the Indiana Pacers and won the first honor since the birth of the team:
2004-2005 season NBA East champion!
This ending was too unexpected and caused extensive discussion in many media.
Does offense win championships or defense wins championships?
Don Nelson's team reached the finals for the first time since he created the "run and bomb tactic". Does this mean that this tactic can actually win the championship?
The Indiana Pacers are the team with the highest defensive efficiency in the NBA this season, limiting opponents to less than 82 points per game. They are recognized as the most unwilling opponents in the league.
The Charlotte Bobcats hold high the banner of Don Nelson's running and bombing, averaging 106 points per game, second only to the 110 points of the Phoenix Suns, and are the second sharpest offensive team in the league.
This was originally a wonderful duel between spear and shield. No matter what, the two sides should fight six or seven times to decide the winner, right?
In almost all places where betting is available, fans generally chose the Pacers to win. As for the big score?
After all, it is the existence that swept the Miami Heat in the first round, so let's give it a 4:2!
Who knew that the Indiana Pacers, known as the "strongest shield", were torn to shreds like rags after only five games. This is too fake!
Charlotte's black horse, oh no, black cat.It really looks like it's going to be black to the end!
The entire city of Charlotte is boiling. Since the establishment of the team, there have been constant surprises. The Eastern Conference champion has been won. Will the championship be far behind?
Even if you can't get the Larry O'Brien Cup, there is already a silver ball in the Charlotte Bobcats' room of honor (the Eastern Championship trophy is a black base holding a silver basketball), which is enough to stand out from the Eastern Conference!
The Charlotte Bobcats advance to the Finals against the San Antonio Spurs.
The Spurs also eliminated the Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference Finals 4:1. This ending was no less unexpected than the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Phoenix Suns are the most expensive team in the regular season and the most offensive team in the league. It's too fake to just snatch a victory from the defending champion!
The San Antonio Spurs have reached the finals for three consecutive years. This year is so fierce, is it possible to defend their title?
The previous Western Conference finals were also known as the "Battle of Contradictions". The East had the "Strongest Shield" Indiana Pacers, and the West had the "Strongest Spear" Phoenix Suns.
In fact, the San Antonio Spurs' defensive efficiency ranks third in the league, second only to the Pacers and Pistons, averaging only 84 points per game, which is also a solid big iron shield!
However, unlike the Charlotte Bobcats in the Eastern Conference Finals, which suddenly offered a strong defense in this round of the series, the Phoenix Suns have always adhered to the essence of their defensive tactics throughout the series:
Resolutely let you vote!
I don't agree with your attempt to beat me, but I will defend to the death your right to shoot!
Such a satisfying defensive tactic allowed the Spurs to play a rare offensive basketball. The three GDP brothers averaged 83 points per game, which is not inferior to the "Trident" Wizards of the world!
As for the defensive end, the Spurs adopted a simple strategy. With Nash as the unit, they strangled the Suns' outside line, and at the same time strategically gave up the inside line to induce Nash to pass the ball to the basket.
"Little Overlord" Stoudemire is like a fish in water. He averaged 37 points in the series.
However, the Sun's outside line suffered. The Sun's system is too dependent on Nash's milk. If Nash's milk cannot come out, the Sun's outside line is in chaos.
Quentin Richardson and Sean Marion are not strong in holding the ball. When they encountered the strong defense of the Spurs, they immediately panicked. They didn't know whether to shoot or rush.
D'Antoni was at a loss, and was forced by Popovich to insist on a seven-man rotation throughout the series, that is, the Suns were eliminated. Even if they were not eliminated, they would definitely not be physically fit enough to reach the finals.
This is interesting-
The "Battle of Contradiction" in the Eastern Conference Finals turned out to be a sharp spear breaking the shield.
The "Battle of Contradiction" in the Western Conference Finals was just the opposite, and the result was that the iron shield broke the spear!
Of course, this is just a superficial phenomenon.
Like the Charlotte Bobcats, in this round of the series, the Spurs did not rely on defense to win.
Instead, he used his own way to deal with his own body, and used a more stable attack to capture the Phoenix Suns abruptly!
This is similar to how the Charlotte Bobcats eliminated the Indiana Pacers by relying on fierce defense!
Could it be that both Don Nelson and Gregg Popovich belonged to the Murong family?
The Spurs are actually not in good shape this year. They lost a defensive champion like Stephen Jackson on the outside.
Because Duncan played as a center for more than half a season and was a father and a mother at the same time, he suffered from plantar fasciitis. Every time he moved, the pain was unbearable, which seriously affected his moving speed.
Otherwise, with Deng's skill at the defensive end, how could "Little Overlord" break ground on "Stone Buddha" and still average 37 points per game?
Go dream!
So, Popovich is a magical old man. Since Deng Daidai had difficulty moving on the knife mountain, he simply gave up the inside defense and fought with the league's No. [-] offensive team on offense, and he won!
On that correct timeline, this year's Spurs faced the Phoenix Suns, the league's No. [-] offense in the Western Conference Finals, and the defending champion Detroit Pistons, the No. [-] defense in the Finals.Popovich is not afraid, solar attack, I will attack you, strangle you to death, the Pistons will defend you, I will strangle you, defend you to death, and kill them in the way the opponent is good at. The Spurs have done it.
This is the balance of offense and defense, and this is the truly awesome tactics and team!
Of course, because Duncan's footsteps are as slow as the retired David Robinson, this year's Spurs are quite dependent on Ginobili and Tony Parker.
These two boys are also good enough. In the series against the Suns, Ginobili averaged 23.8 points and Tony Parker 20.4 points per game, both of which are their playoff scoring highs.
Now, these data are all placed on Don Nelson's desk. Tom Thibodeau and Zhao Ke are sitting opposite the old man.
"Tell me, what do you think?" Don Nelson looked at Zhao Ke.
"Duncan has plantar fasciitis, it hurts to run, and Mohammad moves very slowly, why don't we keep running and drive these two big guys to the point of collapse..." Zhao Ke said meanly.
"You are such a mean and shameless bad boy!"
"The coach praised..."
