On May 5, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued, and now it is the division semifinals, and G2 is all over. Today's game result was a 103-119 loss to the Heat by the 76ers and a 109-129 loss to the Suns by the Lone Rangers. The scores in the 4-group series are now: Suns 2-0 Lone Rangers, Warriors 1-1 Grizzlies, Heat 2-0 lead over 76ers and Celtics 1-1 Bucks. And after today's game, the US media fivethirtyeight updated the probability of winning the championship in time: 76 people have no way back, the Warriors 8%, the top two up to 63%
Teams under 10 percent: Lone Rangers 1 percent, 76ers 2 percent, Grizzlies 5 percent, Warriors 8 percent
From the perspective of 2 games, the Suns can not get close to Doncic's scoring point, two games let him take 80 points, which is actually the Suns' defensive strategy, insisting on single defense and not pinching, cutting off the connection between Doncic and his teammates, forcing Doncic to play more singles, in addition to consuming his physical strength, but also making it difficult for the Lone Ranger's offensive system to play. So the Lone Rangers' number two- and third-leading scorers, Brunson and Dinwiddie, were completely limited. In addition, Paul and Booker's singles, but also the lone ranger is difficult to cope with, the sun took 40 points in the last quarter, Paul 7 in 6 single quarters 14 points, is simply the role of the sea god needle.
The 76ers have never been reversed at a 2-0 draw in history, and the Heat have never been reversed in history with a 2-0 lead. Now the 76ers have essentially no way back, with both games being a rout unless Embiid returns in time to play a dominant performance.
The Warriors and Grizzlies have rubbed out the gunpowder in this series, although Payton Jr. is basically reimbursed for the playoffs, but as long as the splash tea plays at a normal level, the Warriors have a greater probability of winning, and Morant plays the Warriors very easily, but he can't score 47 points every game.
Teams above 10 percent: Bucks 10 percent, Heat 11 percent, Celtics 25 percent, Suns 38 percent
Although the Bucks won 1 game, the alphabet brother did not play well, shooting 53 and 52 points in 2 games, and the true shooting rate was not even 50%. The Bucks want to win and rely on other people's play. The absence of the team's number two scorer, Middleton, had too much impact on the team's offensive system.
The Heat have yet to go through a real test, with the Hawks winning easily in the first round against the Hawks who advanced to the playoffs, and the 76ers without Embiid in the second round, who have a good chance of advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals, but then it will be tough against both the Bucks and the Celtics.
With Celtics and Suns combining a 53% chance of winning, will a championship be born between them? Although the Suns suffered some troubles in the first round, After Booker returned, he began to show dominance again, and it seems that it is difficult for the Lone Ranger to reverse the Suns, and it may even be a huge difference of 4-0, 4-1. That way, the Sun could wait in the Western Conference Finals. The Celtics' strongest is still defense, and at present, they are the first defensive efficiency in the playoff team, and the two superstars Alphabet Brother and Durant are both defended. And the team played a dominant performance at a critical moment, with both Tatum and Brown having achievements and indeed showing some championship appearances.
