In this game, Embiid really wanted to win, but he wanted to win a little too much.
As soon as the team fell behind, he tried to chase the score by throwing Three-Pointer.
The more you shoot, the less you hit, and the more you miss, the more you hit.
Finally, I threw Three-Pointer 6 and hit 0.
It became the main reason for the team's loss.
As for Celtics on the opposite side, the overall rhythm is very stable.
Tatum had 21 points, Rozier had 20 points and 9 assists, Smart had 19 points, and Horford had 13 points and 12 rebounds. After his comeback, Brown, who came off the bench, also scored 13 points.
The overall score was very balanced and the team's chemical reaction was very good.
So in the end, Celtics defeated Philadelphia 76ers 108 to 100 and won G2 of this series, leading by a big score of 2-0.
Very familiar script...
On May 4th, Rockets played against Spurs.
A close showdown.
Harden was in poor condition. He only made 9 of 22 shots and "only" scored 32 points. Among them, Free Throw made 12 of 13.
To a certain extent, the fundamentals have been preserved.
Paul made 8 of 19 shots and scored 23 points, but only had 3 assists. It was a very un Paul game. He was a little uncomfortable being restricted by Spurs from the outside.
Spurs It's different here.
Leonard made 13 of 20 shots and scored 34 points and 8 rebounds. Aldridge made 9 of 17 shots and scored 25 points and 13 rebounds.
Spurs Shuangde was as stable as ever, relying on steady offense and disciplined defense to successfully win G1 at Rockets's home court.
Western Conference The top two teams all lost in G1 of Second Round. How can this not be a tacit understanding~~
As for Cavaliers, they got a big victory against Raptors.
James, it seems that after playing Raptors, it seems that I have found the feeling of the game, and I can play a lot more at once!
In a single game, he made 19 of 28, scoring 43 points, 8 rebounds and 14 assists.
At the same time, Love also had a meal of dumplings, making 11 of 21 shots and scoring 31 points and 11 rebounds.
The dual-core team performed well and successfully led the team, winning G1 128-110.
For Raptors, the performance of DeRozan and Lowry was actually quite satisfactory. DeRozan made 11 of 23 shots and scored 24 points.
Lowry made 7 of 10 shots and scored 21 points and 8 assists.
It's not bad, but it didn't support the production, and among the role players, except for Valanciunas's 16 points and 12 rebounds and VanVleet's 14 points, none of them could perform up to standard.
Anunoby only scored 1 out of 5 and only scored 3 points.
The poor performance of the role players has caused the production of Raptors to drop sharply. Relying only on DeRozan and Lowry is obviously not enough.
The next day, Oklahoma, Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Thunder Warriors G4.
A much-anticipated matchup.
Warriors's full lineup has been restored.
And Thunder has also regained its strength.
Both sides yearn for victory.
The game starts soon.
In the opening jump, McGee defeated Little Sabonis and won the ball.
Warriors attack.
After Curry holds the ball to Frontcourt, the ball is given to Green.
Green is in Top of the Key, and then Hand-off is given to Klay who ran out.
Klay takes one step after receiving the ball and shoots directly.
Three-Pointer popped out of the frame, but the first shot failed to hit. Rebound was protected by Sabonis.
Westbrook catches the ball to drive the conversion.
But Warriors retreated quickly.
Westbrook, unable to catch a good opportunity, stopped at a 45-degree angle, waiting for Teammates to land.
After waiting for all Teammates to be in place, Westbrook waved his hand to Pick-and-Roll from Little Sabonis.
After bypassing the screen, he quickly broke through to Interior, and then passed the ball back to Little Sabonis from Pop Out.
Facing McGee's retreating defense, Little Sabonis directly scored Three-Point Shot after receiving the ball.
Huh~~~
Thunder got in here.
Little Sabonis's opening Touch is pretty good.
Back to Warriors's attack Possession.
Curry held the ball to Frontcourt, controlled the ball on the spot, waited for Green Move up for pick and roll, then quickly broke through, used the screen to get to Mid-range, and made a pull-up jump shot.
Two points easily scored.
In the modern Basketball environment, players are increasingly inseparable from Pick-and-Roll, especially some players with good shooting.
They only need a very small and narrow shooting space to score easily.
And Pick-and-Roll is a powerful tool for creating this kind of space.
In the future, those new stars will all be good players.
Doncic, Booker, Mitchell, Brunson, Haliburton are all players who are very good at using Pick-and-Roll.
Offensive and defensive transition, Thunder attack.
After Westbrook brought the ball to Frontcourt, he handed the ball to Chen Xi. Chen Xi held the ball and waited for Little Sabonis Pick-and-Roll, then called McGee Isolation.
McGee had no choice but to switch to the Three-Pointer line.
Chen Xi attacks with the ball, continuously Crossover Dribble, guiding the rhythm, and then quickly Hesitation Dribble breaks through to the right, then connects with an emergency stop and pulls back, sending McGee one meter away, then easily collects the ball, and Long Two takes action.
Basketball easily connects to the network.
McGee was a little helpless. If his core strength hadn't been good enough, he might have been knocked down. Chen Xi's breakthrough speed was too fast.
The speed attribute of 100, coupled with the starting speed of the silver First Step Master, is enough for the Chen Xi to burst out. Most of the defenders in League, if they are not at the defensive level, can't even think of staying steady in front of the Chen Xi. What's more, McGee, a large Interior, can't keep up at all.
Attacking again, Curry held the ball to Frontcourt and planned to pass the ball to Durant, but just as Basketball got rid of it, he was poked by the long arm of Westbrook who shot diagonally.
After Basketball flew two meters away, he was caught by Butler, who had quick eyes and quick hands, and then passed the ball back to Westbrook.
Westbrook caught the ball and went down quickly, rushed to the Warriors Three-Pointer line, and was about to take off and dunk.
Durant rushed over quickly, using his long arms in the air to interfere with Westbrook's dunk.
Basketball came out. After the trajectory changed, it hit the upper edge of Rebound. Then it quickly rebounded and was caught by Klay who retreated quickly, and then was thrown back to Frontcourt.
After Green received the ball, he broke through and passed the ball to Curry who ran back to the Three-Pointer line.
Curry just took aim at the frame after catching the ball, and Chen Xi approached him. Seeing that the opportunity was not good, Curry collected the ball, quickly dropped the ball and broke through, rubbing the corner of Chen Xi's clothes and entering Mid-range.
But Chen bit down very tightly, not giving the slightest chance to take action.
Curry ran all the way to the basket and then circled out.
I had no choice but to be completely covered by the big circle of Chen Xi, so I had to withdraw and reorganize.
At this time, several Warriors players in the half also ran back and took their positions again.
Curry immediately gave the ball to Green, intending to stabilize the rhythm and reorganize the attack.
After receiving the ball, Green attracted Pick-and-Roll from McGee, then moved down to Interior, attacked the basket against Little Sabonis's false defense, stepped out of Three steps, and passed the ball back to McGee in the air.
McGee took off after catching the ball, made a time difference with Little Sabonis, and put the ball into Basket.
Two points were scored. Before Warriors could celebrate excitedly, Thunder quickly served to advance.
