Knicks VS 76ers
Nurse's transformation of the 76ers is still clearly in the game. He uses Harris, Oubre, and Batum's ideas, which are similar to Malone's use of Porter and Gordon, but unfortunately there is a gap in talent after all.
Lowry is the new temperament of Philadelphia, but unfortunately he is only 183cm, not a center or a power forward.
Maxey tried his best, and the first few off-ball screens were completely unexpected by the Knicks, breaking through the defense and forcing a hard solution on the outside, he is Embiid's suitable partner, and the 76ers' future offensive launch may gradually tilt towards him.
The attitude towards Embiid is the same as that of G1, and it is not forced. Embiid's defense this time is not as good as G1's, purely retreating, and there are fewer highlights to protect the basket. Although the Knicks' front board was not as exaggerated as G1, it still exploded the 76ers, and at the last moment, Hatten's rush was too deadly.
But as long as you watch the first two games of this series, you don't expect Embiid to fight against non-humans like the Knicks. He had a pair of fragile knees, after all.
The Knicks still have Hart, who has an anti-sky feel, the difference is only that G1 is in the fourth quarter and G2 is in the first half. It is impossible to determine the level of Hart's three-point score. He didn't shoot in the regular season, he shot crazy in the playoffs, and the point is, he looked very fast with his hands, not at all like he was forced to do so. This man's attitude at the three-point line varies greatly from season to season, and perhaps he is the Butler of the role players who deliberately sealed some of his abilities.
The Knicks won a hand of luck and a blow penalty, though, objectively speaking, they played better in G2 than in G1.
The Knicks in the third quarter of G2 were the most passionate pitch I've seen this year. Bronson, DiVincenzo, Hart, these three people really have alumni bonds and resonance. Hatten can also play with them. The 4-person offensive and defensive cooperation is silky, and there is a sense of beauty in the dormitory. The cold-faced OG looked out of place next to them.
This round has already been written in detail once, so I won't talk about it in depth. If there is no final misjudgment, this is the crown game, which is very good. If you are not a 76ers fan, it is recommended to watch it, and the video alone can be exciting.
The youth is flying on the field, and the Falke blows the sheep off the field. The Knicks aren't necessarily the better team than the 76ers in the usual sense, but they could well win this series.
They have their incredible madness.
Cavaliers VS Magic
Magic still clearly can't beat it.
It's pretty much the same as G1, but I don't have much to say about the game.
Say a few words about the configuration of magic.
Fultz is basically unusable. Hey, it's sad where Fultz holds in the future. Offense aside, the defense was indiscriminately killed by Mitchell and LeVert.
Anthony continued to play a lump, with no athletic goals in the series.
Houstan is not good enough to play.
The Magic bench backcourt is really not good, but fortunately, Ingles, as a playmaker, can make a cameo appearance as a backup guard.
Isaac's defense was still bullish, but the offense was too slow, with 1-of-7 three-pointers. Carter was 1-of-6 from three-point range and 1-of-7 from the field, unlocking the Wo Long and Phoenix achievements on the offensive end with Isaac.
The Magic's best offensive center right now is Big Wagner, and his three-point is even worse, but he has a good finish and can score in the air.
Magic is so embarrassing right now. In both games, the offense could not be watched. As a general rule, to improve the offense, Mosley has to be a defender. But none of the Magic backup guards can do it. On Ingles, is it okay to put on a five-way line of Banchero + Wagner + Ingles + Suggs + Harris?
At first glance, the logic is smooth, and on second thought, the knight is happy:
The twin towers are slapped, and one person takes over a striker;
Two-back versus two-back, no pressure;
Strus was still a little difficult to defend against small tiles, but now it's okay, it's suitable for Ingles.
This time, you don't have to rely on the help defense, and the alignment will be pressed.
Four of the Magic's top 8 players in EPM are centers or de facto centers (Isaac, Carter, Bitadze, Dawa), and their centers can't solve their offensive constipation. The only big tile that helps the offense a little bit is the advantage of the finishing rather than the space that the Magic need more.
The offensive resource of the Magic is really outrageous.
Therefore, the Magic can only think backwards, cut the bench guard time, and become more constipated on top of the very constipation, and strive to win a defensive game with extreme constipation.
