The NBA playoffs are in full swing, the Nets were swept out by the Celtics in the first round, and injuries have had a big impact on this year's playoffs.
On the evening of April 27, Tencent News's online voice program "Balls Are The Same while Reserving Differences" invited the famous ball critic Xu Jingyu, former "Basketball Pioneer" reporter Luo said that the NBA, the female anchor Maruzi, who explained many NBA games, and the chief writer of Tencent Sports coined to interpret the culprits of the Nets' first round of exit, predicting the two sides of this year's finals.
This episode is divided into two parts: a ring match and a round table discussion. The first stage is the ring match, the theme of which two teams will make it to the finals. The format of the tournament is Luo said that the NBA and the coin to play in the ring, the fan with the higher number of votes to enter the next round with Maruko to continue the ring, the winner finally with Xu Jingyu PK.
Rowe said the NBA's choice is the Warriors and Celtics, who he believes the Warriors meet the winner between the Grizzlies and Timberwolves after advancing to the second round, and these two teams have momentum but are inexperienced and difficult to pose a threat to the Warriors. The Warriors of the Western Conference Finals are likely to hit the Suns, and the Suns' injuries are the key to influencing them to go further. The Celtics defended Durant the worst, and their approach to Durant could be extended to later games.
The coin chose the Warriors and Bucks, who he believes are only afraid of teams that are good at unlimited changes of defense, and this type of team is concentrated in the East, and there are few teams in the West that can cause trouble for the Warriors. The Bucks have a large body advantage, the players who play in the first round are on average 2 meters 01 meters tall and weigh 103 kilograms, and they can put on a three-high lineup, and they can also take care of the projection and the basket, which is the only condition in the league. Bucks not only the inside line is tall, the outside line is also very fierce, the playoffs are playing a resource war, the Bucks resources are not defective, and the resources are complementary, the Bucks are still the highest ceiling.
During the debate between the two sides, Rowe said that the NBA believes that the Celtics have home advantage against the Bucks, and they are not afraid of confrontation, and the five positions are balanced in defense, which is the advantage of the Celtics, and Middleton's injury has a great impact on the Bucks. The coin took advantage of the Celtics' physical weakness relative to the Bucks as a point of debate, with the Celtics scoring the Bucks' average in the penalty area being lower than the season average, and Holliday, Grayson Allen's defense of Tatum was successful in the regular season.
In the end, the fans voted, and the coin was promoted by a slight margin, against Maruko.
Maruko's point of view is the Lone Ranger and the Heat, she believes: "The Lone Ranger is 3 wins and 1 loss against the Warriors, and in terms of regular season statistics, Doncic has an advantage over Curry's points, rebounds, assists, and shooting percentage." There are many people on the Warriors who can be named by Doncic, who has James's game temperament and the peak Harden's skills. The Lone Ranger's system suits him. The Lone Ranger has Powell, moves very fast, can defend Curry, and Curry has a hard time playing small and big roll call. ”
Coin does not agree with Maruko's point of view, he believes: "The Lone Ranger is still almost there, the Lone Ranger is too dependent on the three-pointer, and the Jazz cannot cope with the Lone Ranger's five outside." But if you encounter a warrior, the five small of the lone ranger face the five small of the warrior, both the experience and the technical level are worse. Lone Rangers are weak in the playoffs, and if the three points don't work, can they find a way to throw the ball in. Doncic's defense doesn't quite match his status as a superstar. ”
In this round of the ring, Maruko fans got more votes, and she got the opportunity to fight xu Jingyu's ultimate PK.
As a well-known Warriors fan, Xu Jingyu naturally supports the Warriors, he believes: "The Warriors attack and defend as one. Dinwiddie's long-range shots are unstable, the Lone Ranger lacks a combination of inside and outside, and relies too much on Doncic. Curry found the feeling of 15 years, Poole improved rapidly, Thompson's three-point shooting rate was 50%, the Warriors attacked and defended, row after row of defensive toughsters, the lone ranger defense can not use more people than the Warriors, offensive points such as the Warriors' strength dispersion, the gap is still very obvious. In the East, the overall situation of the Heat is relatively weak, whether it can pass the second round is debatable, the Warriors and Celtics will meet in the final. ”
Maruko believes that the Celtics still haven't found a way to crack the Heat joint defense, but this point is generally convincing, and in the fan voting session, Xu Jingyu won more than 3700 votes to win over Maruko.
The next three questions are roundtable discussion sessions where each guest presents his or her views on the basis of the questions.
In this year's playoffs, injuries have had a huge impact on many teams, and stars such as Middleton and Booker are now unable to play due to injuries, and teams such as the Lakers in the regular season have also been hit by injuries.
When it comes to which team has the biggest impact from injury, Xu Jingyu and Coin both believe that it is the Bucks. Xu Jingyu believes: "Middleton's injury is not good at the time point, and the Bucks want to fight with the Celtics, which is a vicious battle." Middleton wasn't there, no one could play his role, and Allen could shoot empty positions but didn't have the ability to hold the ball. Holliday has been offensively inferior to Middleton, especially with the ball and long-range shots. ”
"Middleton can make up for the weakest link of the alphabet brother, the letter brother's three points are unreliable, many rounds of hard battles, and in the end it is often Middleton who comes to block and dismantle, so that Middleton can solve the problem, the alphabet brother can't do it, and the medium and long distance is unstable." Holliday wasn't good at it either. Holliday played the Celtics, and no one had a body advantage. In the stalemate phase, I can't think of how the Bucks can solve the problem. Lopez the Great will also be targeted by Tatum and Brown. ”
Maruko and Rowe said the NBA both chose Booker, and both sides argue that Booker is the Suns' top scoring point, while Middleton is "only" the team's second in command, and the team that lost the team's number one scoring point is obviously worse.
The Nets had a poor regular season record, relying on playoffs to enter the playoffs, and were swept out of the first round of the playoffs. Who is responsible for the Nets' failed season?
Xu Jingyu said: "Role players have tried their best to exceed their own character attributes, Irving only performed well in the first game, Durant's last game was also average, the Celtics gave the defense in the fourth game is the regular level, Durant took 39 points with more than 30 shots, and pulled his crotch in multiple rounds. The two stars played one of Irving's first games, and neither of them played well. Their friendship is intimate, but putting their personal feelings above the team should not be, they should be responsible. ”
Rowe said the NBA believes it is Durant: "The biggest responsibility is still Durant, he did not play the role of the first core, the first round was swept, the state is very poor." The worst turnovers in his career, Durant lost 8.2 points per 100 rounds against the Nets. He was too indulgent of Owen, which was also his responsibility, and his character doomed him not to become a qualified boss. ”
The coin is believed to be Irving, because Irving's refusal to get vaccinated toppled the first domino, which led directly to Harden's later departure. Maruko believes that the Nets management, they do not have enough authority in dealing with Irving, between part-time Irving and full-time Harden, they should have chosen Harden.
The most exciting story of the playoffs is undoubtedly the "dog counterattack", which team is most likely to achieve the next gram this year?
Maruko chose the Pelicans, Coin and Rowe said the NBA chose the Raptors, and both reasons mention Rivers' reversed attributes and Harden's crotch-pulling attributes. Xu Jingyu's choice is the Timberwolves, who believe that the Timberwolves can win the sixth game after returning home, and anything can happen to grab seven.
There is also an Easter egg at the end of this episode, four guests predicted this year's championship, Maruko and Luo said that the NBA chose the Celtics, the coin is optimistic about the Bucks, and Xu Jingyu supports the Warriors.
