The Magic Team’s signature three-point rain never ca down in this series. With the loss of Turkoglu, the Magic Team’s offense was organized by Carter and Nelson, shifting from ball movent to isolation plays and pick-and-roll breaks. This was relatively easy for the Cavaliers’ ’centerless’ formation to defend, enough to make up for not having a center on the floor to withstand Howard.
On this basis, as long as Jas can penetrate the Magic Team’s defense, the Cavaliers’ chances of winning are very high.
On the Bobcats’ side, after a two-day break, they began preparations for the East Final.
The other three series also gradually reached their conclusions.
The Magic Team and the Cavaliers’ series ended first, with scores of 89 to 83 and 95 to 84. The Magic Team won three straight gas, coming back from a 1 to 2 deficit to win 4 to 2.
The Cavaliers had the foundation to win, and their defense was genuinely good, especially Jas. After bulking up, he was effectively playing as a Power Forward on the defense, relying on his unparalleled physical condition and top-tier help defense awareness. In this series, his defensive performance was not much worse than Howard’s.
However, relying on Jas’ long-range shots to break the situation was still too unstable, especially since Jas’ long-range shots were pure ball-handling acts, making it difficult to create a long-range shooting tactic related to him. It was essentially just creating a three-point threat to foster better break opportunities.
After going 1 for 9 in three-point shooting in Ga 4, Jas went 1 for 5 in Ga 5, and after missing two three-pointers in Ga 6, he simply stopped shooting...
Right after that, under Nowitzki’s leadership, the Mavericks won two gas in a row against the Suns, 116 to 105 and 121 to 110, taking this high-scoring battle and making it 2 wins and 1 loss in a playoff showdown with Nash.
Nash won the second round in 2005, and Nowitzki won the Western Conference Finals in 2006.
The Spurs and Lakers series, which started the earliest, ended last. The two teams battled to Ga Seven, and finally, the Lakers won the Ga Seven battle, defeating the Spurs 97 to 86 to advance to the Western Conference Finals with great difficulty.
Zhang Yang watched both teams’ scores drop from over 110 in the first four gas to barely surpassing 100 in Ga 5, where the Lakers narrowly won 102 to 100 with a Garnett tip-in buzzer-beater. In Ga 6, the Spurs tied the series with a 90 to 85 win...and in the end, the Spurs collapsed in Ga Seven with a 3 for 19 three-point shooting, Ginobili going 3 for 12 with only 8 points and 3 assists, and Duncan going 6 for 15 with 14 points and 6 rebounds.
Usually, it’s other teams exhausting the Lakers, like the Cavaliers during the Christmas battle running down the Lakers, but who would have thought there’d be a day when the Lakers would outlast the old tirs!
...
The Bobcats and Magic Team et in the East Final, and the Lakers and Mavericks et in the Western Conference Final. This outco was predicted by many dia before the second round started, but the process was different from everyone’s expectations.
Zhang Yang, shooting from within and outside the three-point line, pumled the Bulls, leading his team to a 4 to 0 sweep. Already a two-ti champion, he continues to impress people in the playoffs.
Jas is regretful; he didn’t train his long-range shots well in his early years. After missing the earliest growth phase, he only started training them after the Cavaliers beca a strong team. His personal age and the team environnt have made it more difficult to develop long-range shots.
The Spurs really beca strong again, but the two old veterans are still leading the charge. Conley is steady but progresses slowly, and while Guy seems to have great potential, he struggles to take on a critical role in the playoffs.
Nash encountered various difficulties during his peak, and though the team is back on the right track, they’ve wasted two years. The once-luxurious frontcourt lineup now only has Stoudemire as the lone survivor, with Diaw and Marion gone, and Frye starting as center. If either Marion or Bowen had stayed, they might have won the scoring battle with the old partners.
The three eliminated teams received bad news after their series ended.
With the second-round exit, rumors of Duncan’s retirent are intensifying.
Jas decided to opt out of the last year of his 3 1 contract and test free agency.
Stoudemire also announced he would opt-out of the last year of the 5-year $72 million contract he signed in 2006 and test free agency.
These matters are concerning for the three individuals, or the players related to them, or the fans of their respective teams.
On Zhang Yang’s side, after the Magic Team advanced to the East Final on the 19th, he began targeted preparation for the matchup, diving into training.
Two days later, on May 22, the Bobcats hosted the Magic Team in the first ga of the East Final.
Before the ga, many ’20-year veteran fans of the Magic Team’ stirred up montum online, claiming the Magic Team would beat the Bobcats, reach the Finals, and eventually win the championship.
They proposed a ’Magic Team’s Championship Possibility Theory,’ comparing it to the Spurs. After losing Parker in 2007 and being easily beaten by the Lakers in the 2008 playoffs, the Spurs seed on the verge of collapse, but two years later they rose again, clinching the regular season top spot. If the Spurs could make a coback, why can’t the Magic Team?
To any clear-thinking netizen, this argunt is obviously flawed at first glance.
Indeed, the Spurs’ resurgence was surprising, but what does that have to do with the Magic Team’s potential coback?
Yet, many people resonated with this absurd ’possibility theory,’ making even clear-thinking fans question if their own understanding was flawed...
However, no matter how lively the shouts were off the court, they had no impact on the actual ga.
In the first quarter of Ga 1, Carter perford brilliantly, going 3 for 6 in the quarter, including 2 for 4 from three-point range, plus 2 for 2 free throws, scoring 10 points in the quarter, leading the Magic Team to 26 points.
