NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 266 Big Zhi, who averaged 45 points per game
During the half-time break, Thomas Sr. looked sad in the locker room, and Reggie Miller, who he had never paid much attention to, turned out to be his confidant.

He thought that as long as his Knicks completely locked up Iverson, restricted his breakthrough, and then cut off the connection between him and Yao Ming, the Philadelphia 76ers would lose half first.

Then relying on Big Zhi's unsolvable offense, the Philadelphia 76ers will lose another half.

It's a pity that he still underestimated the value of super veterans like Miller. Miller himself has a super big heart, and he will become more powerful at critical moments.

The current round of the Eastern Conference finals is undoubtedly the most critical moment. This not only represents whether Philadelphia can break out of the Eastern Conference, but also represents whether Miller can win the first championship of his career.

Just like Payton back then, when it came to the playoffs, he was as bloody as he was.

Iverson is restricted, but it seems that he is not restricted. He really has no bright spots on the offensive end. Under Payton's defense, it is difficult for him to find comfortable shots.

But he still plays an extremely important role on the court. As long as he is on the court, Payton will devote most of his energy to guarding him. In addition, Iverson's assists to Reggie Miller are also crucial.

Yao Ming only scored 8 points in the first half, but his rebounding was obviously much better than Uncle Mu's. In addition, Uncle Mu himself was not an offensive center, which made Yao Ming's defensive shortcomings irrelevant.

"Wang, tell me, what should we do now?"

Lao Deng ran out of ideas, he wanted to hear if Da Zhi had any ideas.

Da Zhi shrugged, and at the moment his face was full of helplessness, "I can only find a way to limit Reggie Miller. His offensive efficiency is useless even if God arranges tactics."

"Stephen, why don't you watch Reggie Miller in the second half."

"Alan, don't get me wrong, it's not that you're not good enough to defend Reggie Miller, but that Stephen's physical condition is more suitable to match up with a shooter like Reggie."

Dazhi was very thoughtful, and he explained it without making Houston think too much.

The current Dazhi is already an extremely mature team leader. He knows how to appease the emotions of his teammates, and also knows how to better display the combat effectiveness of his teammates.

Wu Sheng started as a defensive player in the Raptors, and his physical fitness is not necessarily better than Houston, but right now he is a dead horse as a living horse doctor, trying to let Wu Sheng defend Reggie Miller, don’t do it If not, the Knicks can only wait to lose.

Old Thomas nodded, and looked at Dazhi with appreciation. He felt that his biggest gain in the Knicks was definitely Dazhi.

If there is no big Zhi, I may have to be fired after two years in the Knicks.

His personality is not very likable, his mouth is stinky and mean, and it is common to offend players. Big Zhi's mediation in it has made the atmosphere of the whole team much better.

If it weren't for Big Zhi, even if the old Thomas hadn't been fired, he would have been forced to dismiss get out of class by the players.

"Okay, give me this task, I will let him only get three points in the second half."

Wu Sheng patted his chest excitedly, and confidently took over the task.

When the second half of the game started, the self-confident Martial Saint really had a good defense effect. Reggie Miller failed to make two shots in a row.

Kumbu is not in a hurry, now that the Philadelphia 76ers have a huge advantage, and he still has various generals in his hands, so the situation is under control.

The old Payton is very tired now, and Kumbu is going to continue to put pressure on him.

He replaced Iverson to rest, and then took Parker from the bench.

"Remember, Tony, after you come on the court, you have to run non-stop. Even if you don't touch the ball, you have to pull Payton to run with you."

Kumbu was afraid of all kinds of singles after Parker played, so he gave him special instructions.

Parker nodded again and again, no matter how courageous he was, he would not dare to make a mistake on this occasion.

After his debut, he still used the old man's tactics, dragging Payton around the court.

In addition, Kumbu also took Miller off the court to rest and replaced Ginobili on the bench.

Even though Yaodao and Sports Car are just substitutes in Philadelphia, their fighting power is quite strong, facing the combination of Martial Saint and Peyton, they are not at all inferior.

When Lao Deng replaced Payton for a rest, Combe immediately put Iverson back on the court.

Payton has played 22 minutes in the first half. At his age and playing for such a long time, he is already overloaded.

Last season's Eastern Conference Finals was due to Payton's injury, which caused the Knicks to fall short. Old Thomas naturally did not dare to take risks this season.

As soon as Payton was off the court, the Knicks' backcourt situation immediately became chaotic.

Iverson couldn't deal with this point at all. Payton only played for 3 minutes, and Iverson had teamed up with Yao Ming to score a seven-point difference.

When there was half of the fourth quarter left, seeing the 25-point difference between the two sides, the old Thomas directly called a timeout, replaced with a pure substitute, and gave up the game.

Suffering from Payton's injury last season, he is not going to overload Payton or Dazhi this season.

Especially Da Zhi, once Da Zhi is injured, the overall combat power of this Knicks will directly drop by more than a notch.

Knowing that there is no hope of winning the game, why let Da Zhi take risks.

When Kumbu saw the Knicks disarm and surrender, he didn't kill them all. He also replaced a set of substitutes, including Mason Jr.

Since Yao Ming and Iverson decided to forgive Mason Jr., Kumbu simply gave him a chance.

It is certainly unlikely that he will be allowed to appear in regular time. After all, Kumbu still has Kirilenko in his hands, so it makes no sense to give Mason the precious appearance time.

But this kind of garbage time, Mason can play.

Little Mason's strength is not weak. Although he didn't make it to the All-Stars, his personal strength is very outstanding. It is generally at the same level as Wu Sheng, and may be slightly worse than Wu Sheng.

The key is that he is still a rookie, and the transaction value is still good. It is impossible for Kumbu to really rot him in his hands. When there is a suitable opportunity next season, he will be sold and exchanged for some suitable bargaining chips.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Philadelphia 76ers won at home and won a good start in the Eastern Conference Finals.

On the court, Yao Ming scored 20 points, 20 rebounds and 3 assists, a very standard double-twenty statistic. The score is not high, but the rebound stats are quite gorgeous, including 8 offensive rebounds, which are priceless.

Uncle Mu, who is facing up, actually played well. He scored 17 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks. As a blue-collar insider, he is completely qualified to be able to play such statistics. He has everything he should have, even scoring. Exceeded.

In the matchup at the fourth position, the Knicks have a considerable advantage.

Big Zhi scored 43 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 block tonight. He is the most All-Star power forward in the league today. Garnett can't compare to this. After all, Garnett's three-point ability is not very good .

Randolph only had 11 points and 7 rebounds tonight, apparently blown away by Big Zhi.

This is something that can't be helped. There is a difference of ten centimeters between the two sides, and Dazhi is much more flexible than Randolph.

Randolph couldn't prevent Big Zhi's attack at all, but Big Zhi could limit Randolph's attack. It's no wonder that Randolph didn't get blown up.

However, Randolph is not completely useless on the court. His single-handed shooting ability can still pull Big Zhi out of the penalty area, allowing Yao Ming to single-handedly beat Uncle Mu under the basket.

In terms of inside, the Philadelphia 76ers actually have no advantage at all, with slightly better rebounds, but the offensive end is not as strong as the Knicks.

On the outside, the Philadelphia 76ers completely crushed the Knicks.

Payton didn't play well tonight, so he only scored 7 points and 7 assists, which seemed a bit shabby.

He was killed by the old man's tactics.

The defensive end has been running with Iverson and Parker, and the offensive end has no physical fitness to participate in the offense.

Iverson sneakily also scored 20 points and 12 assists, 7 of which came from free throws.

Wu Sheng scored 8 points in the first half, which can be regarded as his normal performance. In the second half, because he was marking Reggie Miller, he took fewer shots. In the whole second half, he only scored 4 points. The whole game had 12 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists. It's a scam, but I'm sorry for his worth. After all, he joined the Knicks with an annual salary of tens of millions.

Alan Houston is considered the chief war criminal of the team's loss tonight. He allowed Reggie Miller to score 30 points alone in the first half, but he only scored 6 points. He didn't have to face Reggie Miller in the second half. It didn't even open, and it wasn't even as good as the first half, only 5 points were recorded.

The audience had 11 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists, and took 13 shots, which was quite embarrassing.

The number one player for the Philadelphia 76ers to win the game is undoubtedly Reggie Miller, who scored 30 points in the first half. A total of 13 points were scored in the game, which is the same as Da Zhi's score.

After the first game of the Eastern Conference finals, the fighting power displayed by the Philadelphia 76ers made other teams frightened.

The Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Kings has not yet started. After watching the game, they are all afraid of the Philadelphia 76ers.

Even if they can break through the threshold of the Western Conference Finals, what chance will they have of winning the Philadelphia 76ers?
Some gambling companies also changed the odds for the Philadelphia 76ers to win the championship for the first time.

In fact, sometimes if you want to see how strong a team is, you only need to look at the odds given by the bookmaker.

They do this job, eat this bowl of rice, and their vision is much more vicious than those so-called experts. After all, this is all for real money.

Next, the Lakers and the Kings also played the first game of the Western Conference Finals.

The king lost this game miserably.

Since winning Stockton, the overall strength of the Lakers has reached an extremely amazing level.

After all, whether it is the OK combination or the Utah Shuangsha, they are all famous super duos in NBA history. It turns out that the four of them are now in a group, and it is no wonder that their combat power is not strong.

Although under normal circumstances, the Lakers also formed a luxurious F4 lineup, but after all, it was after 04, when Malone was already very old.

In addition, Payton does not have any chemical reaction with this lineup. His style of play is not the same as Stockton's at all.

With the joining of Stockton, the strength displayed by Malone has been further improved.

Even the Lakers' tactics have begun to change.

The main tactic is the Jazz's pick-and-roll tactic. In terms of tactics, Stockton and Malone are the main tactics. Kobe and O'Pang have become the end points.

Kobe became a free agent on the outside, and O'Pang was the finisher on the inside.

After watching the game, Kumbu felt a lot of pressure in his heart. This Lakers team is very strong. If his Philadelphia 76ers play against it, it will be a [-]-[-] situation at best.

He hurriedly called Adelman Jr., the vice president of the king, and asked him to tell the old Adelman to quickly use the old man tactics.

Stockton is also an old man, he is older than Payton.

The first game the Kings lost was because Bibby was a little too big, took too many shots in front of Stockton, and was very inefficient.

If Stockton can get rid of it, then the king's chances of winning can be a little bigger, at least they won't be swept 4:0.

Kumbu is afraid that the king will be swept away, and then give the Lakers breathing time.

For example, this year's Eastern Conference finals reached the tiebreaker, while the Western Conference was swept away. It means that the Lakers have a week's rest time, and the Utah Shuangsha will be able to accumulate a lot of physical energy to prepare for the finals.

The best situation is that the Philadelphia 76ers quickly eliminated the Knicks, and then the Lakers and the Kings fell into a fierce battle.

In the next second game of the Eastern Conference finals, the Philadelphia 76ers continued to win, but this time it was not so easy to win. After all, Reggie Miller could not explode every game.

The king still lost in the second game of the Western Conference Finals. The old Adelman listened to people's persuasion. This game really used the old man tactics and achieved good results. At least the loss was much less than the first game. .

After the first two games, the home court changes, and the Kings may not have no hope of winning.

In G3 of the Eastern Conference finals, the Philadelphia 76ers lost the game. The situation is still similar to last season. The Knicks ate too many whistles.

In this game, the Knicks made a total of 26 free throws, while the Philadelphia 76ers only made 10. The gap is quite large.

The key point is that most of the 26 free throws were made by Big Zhi. He made 17 free throws in the game and scored 14 points just by free throws.

When the game ended, Big Zhi scored 52 points, and his offensive efficiency was quite high.

When encountering this kind of thing, Kumbu can't help it at all. It's not wrong to lose this kind of ball.

If it's a black whistle, it's not that bad. After all, Da Zhi's style of play is easy to eat whistles.

After the first three games in the Eastern Conference Finals, Big Zhi averaged 45 points per game. This kind of scoring explosiveness stunned the entire league.

In an interview before, Big Zhi told the media that Yi Jianlian was a stronger version of Big Zhi, which made the Suns fans ecstatic. Big Zhi has become so strong, so how strong should Yi Jianlian be?
