The current big score between the Suns and the Mavericks is somewhat unexpected.

Because regardless of paper strength, first-round performance, or even coaching ability, the Mavericks will have the upper hand.

However, after watching the two teams' matches, you will find that the Suns are better than the Mavericks in one aspect.

Feeling of space.

As mentioned before, Fry and others increased the sense of space on the field.

On the other hand, with the Mavericks, when O'Neal was on the court, the team's offense could only be launched from the inside.

Otherwise, O'Neal would run back and forth on the field, and it would be better than not.

So this looks more like a contest between a "small ball" and a "big ball".

From the current situation, more advanced small balls have the upper hand.

The G6 of both sides, Sun Hao and the members of the Warriors watched the live broadcast.

The game was played at the Suns' home court, the West Arena.

In the away game, the Mavericks' only goal is to drag the game into the tiebreak. At that time, they have home advantage and will have a greater chance of winning.

So at the beginning of the game, the Mavericks showed a strong desire to win, and O'Neal also hung up Camby in the inside.

However, after the game came to the second half, the Suns gradually took over the momentum of the game as before.

Especially when O'Neal is not going out, it's not going out, it's not going out, it makes Mavericks fans feel uncomfortable.

In the end, the Mavericks head coach Johnson had to replace O'Neal, let Nowitzki play the No. 5 position, and play his favorite small lineup before.

This did play some role, and the Mavericks stalemate and the score entered the final decisive moment.

In the last quarter, O'Neal sat on the bench and was very sad.

Before this, except for being "cut sharks", when will O'Neal have such an experience?

Even fans can basically conclude that O'Neal should not be too far from retirement.

And what's even more uncomfortable for Mavericks fans is that even if they did, the Suns finally won the G6.

4-2, the Suns unexpectedly eliminated the Mavericks and approached the second round of the playoffs.

In sharp contrast to O'Neal's lonely figure in the fourth quarter, Nash's reaction after the game.

At the end of the game, Nash's eyes were completely red.

In the past few seasons, they have had better rosters but are always out early. As a result, they beat the Mavericks with a worse roster this year.

It really corresponds to the saying in the NBA promotional advertisement: where.amzing.wappen.

In this way, they will encounter the Warriors in the next round.

During the post-match handshake, Nash and Nowitzki hugged each other tightly for a long time.

Nowitzki patted his back and touched Nash's head like Sun Hao.

Time is really the most invisible thing. In a blink of an eye, it has been eight years since they played together.

How many eight years can a person have in his life?

Nash eliminated the Mavericks led by Nowitzki, and then he was about to fight against the Warriors led by Sun Hao.

For him, such a playoff journey is really interesting.

The Warriors and the Suns have determined their opponents, and the remaining three groups of divisional semi-finals have also been released one after another.

The remaining group of matches in the West are the Clippers vs. the Trail Blazers.

The Spurs brought a lot of trouble to the Clippers, but the Clippers still won 4-1 with ease.

As the defending champion, Kobe and the Clippers are the strongest in the league in terms of strength and tacit understanding.

On the other hand, the Nuggets encountered the upset of the Trail Blazers.

James' performance is still outstanding, and he has gradually formed a "James system" playing style with high ball holding.

At this time, the Nuggets' drawbacks are also obvious. Iverson's strength has deteriorated and he is no longer competent in the second leading role.

What is more fatal than Iverson are Da Ben and Marion, who were completely destroyed in the match against Horford and Aldridge.

Especially Da Ben, facing Horford, it can be described as having no resistance.

Of course, the most exciting thing is Roy's performance. In the G6 battle, he directly brought the Nuggets out with a 0.8-second countdown.

The name of Huang Mamba was also well known to more people after this round of the series.

In the Eastern Conference, the two semi-final matches are the Bulls VS Wizards, and the Celtics VS Magic.

Compared with the west, the results in the east can be said to be no major surprise.

The Bulls easily defeated the Bobcats. Although the Wizards fought back and forth with the Pacers, Yao Ming's dominance in the inside still helped the Wizards to laugh to the end.

The Celtics played seven games with the Heat in daily life, and finally scored seven times to advance.

After the game, Wade's eyes felt indescribable.

More and more fans feel that Wade is really likely to leave Miami next season.

On the other hand, although the Magic lost Tkoglu, Howard's dominance is still strong, and the Eagles brought them limited trouble.

And this year is really the best year for Howard.

Because he finally doesn't have to hit Yao Ming anymore!!

In the past few years, he has been beaten to autism.

Before the Western Conference semi-finals kicked off, the league announced the second batch of awards for the season, best rookie and best defensive player.

The two awards belong to Kings' Tyrek Evans and Magic's Howard.

Evans became the fourth NBA rookie season to score 20+5+5, which is the same as in history.

Howard completed the three-in-one dpoy farm.

It is worth mentioning that Oden ranks third in the DPOY selection.

Although he did not win the award in the end, this was a recognition of his performance.

You know, he is on Old Nelson's team!

If it were the case before, others said that the center of the old Nelson team would have the opportunity to participate in the DPOY competition, others would think you were joking.

After these awards were issued, the league's district semi-finals also started one after another.

The Warriors have the first record in the regular season, and they all have a home advantage in the division series.

In the first game, they showed their absolute advantage against each other.

The Suns' biggest space advantage in the match against the Mavericks is basically of no use in front of the Warriors.

If it was Oden before losing weight, Oden would indeed encounter a situation where he went out like O'Neal before, and he would not be able to go out even if he didn't.

But now, Oden has lost weight and has greatly improved his movement speed, so he can go out.

Coupled with Ibaka's excellent assistant defense ability, the Suns' advantage is no longer an advantage.

On the contrary, the Warriors' fast-paced style of playing has made the Suns, which is a bit too late to withstand it.

To put it in a very vivid sentence, in Nash's eyes, the Warriors are full of the Suns' appearance.

Moreover, the Warriors have the defense that the Suns didn't have at the time.

It can be said that the Warriors are completely an upgraded version of the Suns.

The Warriors can do better what the Suns can do.

Such a matchup can be imagined.

With the desire to win, the Suns won a victory under the Warriors, but in the end they were eliminated 1-4.

In both rounds of the series, they were scored 4-1, and the performances against the Grizzlies and Suns were not bad in terms of strength or playoffs.

From this we can also see that the strength of this Warriors has indeed reached a certain level.

The Warriors were the first team to advance from the district semi-finals, and the other three groups played in the district semi-finals with anxiety.

Especially for the Trail Blazers and the Clippers, Huang Mamba vs. Black Mamba, the fans were excited to watch it.

After waiting for about four days, the remaining groups of the east and west teams came out one after another.

The Clippers and Trail Blazers, who are most popular, are the Clippers who are even stronger in the end, eliminated the Trail Blazers with a score of 4-2.

Although the Trail Blazers were defeated, Roy and his youth army left with their heads held high.

In comparison, the fight in the east was even more tragic.

The Bulls and Wizards played in the tiebreak. Although the Wizards were weaker in overall strength, Yao Ming's existence really allowed them to fight beyond the level.

However, in the end, Yao Ming was still in a situation where he could not support himself.

Especially in the tiebreak battle, the Bulls exploded in full swing with the advantage of home court, and the Wizards basically only had to get beaten up.

In the end, the Bulls eliminated the Wizards 4-3 and reached the Eastern Conference Finals.
