Smart became the best defensive player in the 2021-22 season, indeed the highest affirmation of his defense, as Boston's defensive gate, Smart can limit the explosive performance of outside stars, but also in the box to take out the super center attack, such a "bulldog" is crazy, he is indeed the guarantee of Boston's rise in the middle of the season, but boston without Smart still has a horror defense, alphabet brother feel Durant's dilemma, you are also frozen?
G2 first game Boston will chase the series score back to a 1-1 draw, although the alphabet brother bombed 28 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists and filled the data column is not helpful, Boston's iron defense may be the graveyard of superstars, as strong as the Kobe Bryant of the year, the same under the iron defense of the hit rate is not high, the alphabet brother does not have as many offensive means as Kobe, so the alphabet brother is also hindered by the attack.
In the first quarter of the game 7 in 1, in the second quarter of the game 5 in 1, in the third quarter of the game alphabet brother woke up a hand, 10 out of 8 bombed 18 points, but the last quarter of the game alphabet brother continued to sleep. It's not that Brother Alphabet is in bad shape, but Boston's iron-blooded defense is too fierce, and it has done a good job of defending against Brother Alphabet, while only letting the Bucks score 86 points in the whole game.
In the small-ball era, the Bucks, who only had 86 points in the game, it was too difficult to win the game, and in the end they lost 23 points, boston won the game, but it was not easy, because they did not slack off on the defensive end, and even the Bucks fans sprayed defense too dirty, such as Gway clamped Connaughton's arm, which made the Bucks fans feel unfair, and even felt that Portis headshot Horford and ate a first-level malicious foul.
The referee has his own penalty scale, Portis eats a first-level malicious foul, can only say that his skills are inferior, but Boston's overall defensive efficiency, can inherit the mission of iron-blooded defense, then their defensive actions, of course, will not be too gentle, otherwise how can they get the evaluation of "iron-blooded defense" in the long river of history, which is also the grave of superstars, and the alphabet brother is so.
In the past two games, the alphabet brother respectively cut 24 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists, and today's 28 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, just look at the performance of the data, the alphabet brother played well, the problem is a look at the shooting rate, G1 is 36.7%, G2 is 40.7%, the alphabet brother is not the so-called forbidden area overlord at all, but also forced to run to the three-point line shot, two games total three points 6 in 1, it can be seen that Boston's first round of freezing Durant is not accidental!
Many people say that Durant's performance in the first round is not good, because Durant's physical fitness is limited, and he has been overused by Nash, resulting in Durant not being able to play at his best, or even turning on death mode. Sorry, you were playing at the Warriors when Durant was there? There is also Curry and Tang Shen to withstand the defensive pressure, when Boston's iron defense is used on Durant's body, there is no difference with today's alphabet brother, and Durant's offensive means are far richer than the alphabet brother.
Yes, just look at the data, Durant averaged 26.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1 steal per game, the series 4 games are very good data output, the problem is that Durant such a super scorer, actually hit 38.6%, three-point shooting rate of 33.3%, this is illogical, compared to today's alphabet brother, Durant is limited by iron blood defense is not accidental, but they are superstars who can freeze opponents with defense, unless it is a real superstar like James. So that they will not be buried in the grave.
