Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

This night may be the unpopular night of the NBA!

In the first round of the four NBA games, three of them were cold!

The Spurs, the No. 1 team in the West, were upset by the Grizzlies, the No. 8 team in the West. Zach Randolph scored 25+14 and led his team to a 101:98 upset victory over the Spurs.

The Lakers, the second defending champion in the West, also lost. They were reversed at home by the Hornets, the seventh in the West, 109:100 in the last quarter. Queen Bee Chris Paul had 33 points and 14 assists, playing a perfect dominance.

In the East, the Bulls, the league's No. 1 team, were not spared, and were upset by the eighth-place Knicks.

106:98, the most exaggerated thing is that Bai Feng, the Knicks rookie player in the playoffs for the first time in this game, actually blasted a terrifying stat of 57+11, directly overshadowing the equally excellent performances of Dr. Lando and Paul. .

The only strong team that survived the night was the Miami Heat, who beat the Pacers 97-89.

Fans and the media dubbed the night a "crazy night"!

Three big upsets in one night, the No. 1 in the East and the West and the defending champion were blasted in the first game of the playoffs. Looking at the entire NBA history, this is still the only one.

Such a bursting game, the major media must report and analyze it well the next day.

"This year's NBA playoffs may be the best year to watch. The strength gap between the east and west is getting smaller and smaller, and the teams in each half are very strong!"

"Wait and see, in this first round, there will definitely be a lot of upsets!"

"Please make this year's playoffs an unpopular year!"

"Guess everyone, the Knicks and the Grizzlies, who is most likely to complete the Black Eight?"

Titles like this are overwhelming!

The analysis of the media is also comprehensive.

These three unpopular games only depend on the comparison of strengths and weaknesses. The most surprising thing is that "Seven-Three-Seven" is the game in which the Grizzlies, the eighth-ranked West Spurs, defeated the West's No. 1 Spurs.

This Grizzlies team has almost no All-Star players. With the performance of "Black Eight Double Bears" Randolph and Pau Gasol, they forced the Spurs to fight.

The Hornets, seventh in the Western Conference, fell to the defending champion Lakers, at least they still have star player Chris Paul.

On the contrary, the Knicks upset the Bulls, which was evaluated as the group with the smallest strength gap among the three groups.

That said, it's actually not without reason.

Although the Bulls are No. 1 in the league, compared to the Spurs and Lakers, they have never proved themselves in the playoffs.

As for the Knicks, they had a super streak in the final stage of the regular season and got on the last train of the playoffs. They even had all the main players resting in the last five games and forcibly selected the eighth position in the Eastern Conference. This shows that their strength is far away. More than that.

That said, the Grizzlies and Hornets are actually more commendable for their upsets.

However, the fact is that in these basketball sections that are overwhelmingly refreshed, the number related to the Knicks accounts for almost half!

There is no other reason, that is, Bai Feng's personal data is too explosive!

"Junior Dragon's debut in the NBA playoffs, scored a stunning 57 points and 11 assists, setting a number of records"

"The biggest harvest of the Knicks was born, and the No. 7 pick scored 57+11 in the first game of his playoff career [Where is the future height?"

"On the first day of the playoffs, he played a super double-double, where did the steady Bai Feng go?"

That's right, almost all of the posts and articles about the Knicks-Bulls game are about blowing up Bai Feng.

57 points and 11 assists, the shooting rate is close to 75%, and the three-point shooting rate is as high as 60%. Although this performance is somewhat unusual, it is enough to explode!

Especially when this kind of data appears on a rookie who is playing in the playoffs for the first time, the strong sense of disobedience has aroused the crazy pursuit of fans.

"Bai Feng's game was amazing, especially his 25-point performance in the third quarter, which completely blew Derrick Rose!"

"This should be the record for a playoff debut in NBA history, darling, this is too explosive."

"This kind of data, even Michael Jordan couldn't do it back then."

Bai Feng has been wildly worshipped and sought after on the Internet.

However, some professional media still made rational evaluations.

"One thing to say, Bai Feng's hand in this game is really explosive, but he can play this statistic, but he has to rely on the Bulls. Look at what Tom Thibodeau has done, just to limit Amaresta. Demeier and Carmelo Anthony, let Rose alone defend Bai Feng?"

"Okay, it's okay to do this in the first half. The Bulls took the lead, and Bai Feng scored 17 points. It's still acceptable. However, in the third quarter, Bai Feng was so accurate, Ross couldn't defend alone, and he didn't change. Defensive strategy?"

"As long as Thibodeau uses Bogans to defend alone or double-teams directly decisively, Bai Feng can't get so many points, and the Bulls are estimated to have won the home court. Are Anthony and Stoudemire really so terrible? Are all the defensive resources staring at him two?"

A professional basketball media person gave a sharp evaluation.

Most of his remarks were criticism of the Bulls coach Thibodeau, and he criticized Thibodeau for being too persistent in the game and not knowing the flexible defensive strategy.

This criticism is somewhat consequential, but it does reflect the biggest reason for Bai Feng's amazing data.

On the other side of the ocean, the fans of the West Country are simply amazing!

A playoff game directly turned Bai Feng into the face of Longguo basketball!

No matter how powerful Dayao was when he logged into the NBA as the number one pick, he played so many seasons in the league conscientiously, and finally won the title of "the league's top center", and even led the Longguo men's basketball team to play the strongest game in the Olympic Games. performance.

But they couldn't match Bai Feng's game.

Needless to say, the gold content of the NBA playoffs naturally, Dayao has played in the playoffs for so many years, and he has not had such an explosive performance.

And Bai Feng, it's just his first show.

Likewise, Longguo fans' expectations for Bai Feng's future have risen to an incomparably high expectation.

"Bai Feng is much more powerful than I expected. If this is so fierce in every game, that's fine!"

"This is simply the hopeful star of Longguo basketball!"

"I thought Dayao's retirement would be the end of Longguo basketball, but I never expected that Bai Feng's appearance would be the beginning!"

....[012211212054182220]

For this year's Dragon Country fans, it's one thing after another.

Dayao's upcoming retirement seems to be perfectly connected to Bai Feng's rise.

In New York, the Knicks fans were equally crazy. A large number of fans watched the live broadcast of the game through the live big screen at Madison Square Garden last night, and collectively cheered for the home team.

The excitement of the fans at the scene, as well as the explosion scene, could not subside for a long time.

Bai Feng's crazy score, and the final victory over the Bulls to take the series lead, made the fans in New York very excited.

Everyone was praising Bai Feng, and someone was already shouting the slogan "Black Eight".

As crazy as New Yorkers are, Chicagoans are as depressed.

Now, the pressure of Halloween is on their side.

The first game of the playoffs was lost, and it was still lost to the eighth in the Eastern Conference, which made the remarks about the "black eight" flooded in every basketball-related corner.

Excited fans followed the vane of some media pundits and began to spray Bulls coach Thibodeau.

"What kind of undercover coach is Thibodeau, and it's up to him that the Bulls will lose!"

"Yes, if we are really hacked, this kind of coach must be dismissed!"

"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, it's a total crime to let a rookie player of the opponent score so many points!"

"I wonder directly, did Thibodeau buy spinach?"

In fact, the pressure did come to Thibodeau.

A lot of doubts flooded the Internet, the worst thing is, there are also some doubts within the Bulls, but fortunately there are not many doubts.

From a general perspective, both players and management still support him.

After all, the management and players also understand the ball. In their opinion, Thibodeau's pre-match tactical arrangement and on-the-spot command in G1 did not have much directional errors.

An important reason for the loss of the final game was also due to the unusually hot touch of the player Bai Feng.

According to their previous plan, putting Bai Feng in this way would give him a maximum of 35 points. This evaluation is actually relatively objective. After all, Bai Feng's average points per game in the regular season are only 18 points.

From the results of the game, even if Bai Feng scored 45 points, the Bulls could still win.

But unfortunately, he got an exaggerated 57 points!

Even if the G1 game is reviewed now, there is still no major problem.

Of course, for the Bulls, this is a thing of the past, and now, the most important thing they need to consider is how to play G2 in two days.

After losing G1, the situation can already be described as a "last battle".

The Bulls must win G2, otherwise, losing two home games is really a big deal!

However, for G2's preparations, the same problem was placed in front of Thibodeau again.

She really wanted to stick to G1's game strategy, because in fact, in G1, they limited Stoudemire and Anthony very well, and he didn't believe that Bai Feng would be able to play as magically as G1.

In Thibodeau's view, G1 Bai Feng's performance is probably a super-explosive state that will only happen once in four or five years, and it is absolutely impossible to be like this in two consecutive games.

However, the management gave him the pressure this time.

"Tom, although we trust you very much, the fans can't stand it anymore, they are blaming the coaching staff on the Internet, and even blame the management's inaction, and think that this is the most critical factor in losing G1.  … So, in the next game, no matter what, you should completely restrict Bai Feng's point to death!"

The management gave him a death order!

Normally, in the NBA, the management will not intervene in the on-the-spot work of the head coach...

But the problem is that the loss of G1 this time has made Chicago fans very dissenting, and for the Bulls management, it has even formed a public relations crisis.

A win for G2 would naturally put things to rest, but they must avoid the risk!

After all, in the playoffs, anything can happen. If the Bulls still lose in G2, but still fail to restrain Bai Feng, then these fans should rebel!

Of course, you can also interpret the order given by the management to Thibodeau as "throwing the pot"

The Knicks are in a good mood. Although the core players Stoudemire and Anthony G1 played quite depressed, there is nothing that a victory cannot solve.

If Bai Feng's steady style of play in the past can make his teammates feel extremely reassured, then the super explosion of this victory makes everyone feel that he is like a savior, like a superhero

!

What it gives is not just a simple sense of security, but infinite hope!

Anthony said in training: "With Bai Feng here, then we don't have to worry at all, this black eight, we are set!"

Xiao Si also echoed: "That's right, I played so badly with Cameron G1, Bai Feng can save us, and when our state returns, it's not just a casual fight!

The confidence of the team is very important, but obviously, Anthony and Stoudemire are not exaggerating, but they really think so.

On the other hand, Bai Feng was relatively calm. He smiled slightly and said, "Let's talk after you win!"

Indeed, the stage of the NBA playoffs is over in an instant. Before the final victory is truly won, no one can say that they will definitely win their opponents.

If you don't believe me, look at the West, didn't the little-known Grizzlies also kill the old-fashioned No. 1 Spurs in the West?

There is also the defending champion Lakers, which also overturned in the first game of the playoffs.

This is a best-of-seven game. Winning one game can only be regarded as a good start. It is foreseeable that in the next game, the Bulls will definitely do something you can't imagine.

adjustment.

Time soon came to G2's game day.

Although the G1 Bulls lost, the United Center was still full, and the fans remained enthusiastic.

At the end of the day, rants are rants, no Chicago fans would really think the world would end if the Bulls lost a game. …

In other words, they are still full of confidence in the home team, and the run-and-gun team just hopes that they can wake up and enter the state as soon as possible, not to despise their opponents.

"We can definitely tie the game tonight, I'm not worried at all."

"It's true that our overall strength is far better than the Knicks, and they can win once in a while, but it's definitely unlikely to upset the midfield in a best-of-seven game.

"Look, Thibodeau will definitely adjust tonight, and the rookie of the Knicks will definitely reveal his true shape."

In the magical music, after the exciting home court appearance ceremony, 2.2 players from both sides made their debut.

[The Knicks start]

Point Guard: Bai Feng

Shooting guard: JR Smith

Small Forward: Carmelo Anthony

Power Forward: Amare Stoudemire

Center: Ronny Turiaf

Nothing has changed from the Knicks' starter and last game, and as a winner, it doesn't need to change.

Of course, with the Knicks' staffing this season, if you want them to change, it won't change.

[Bulls start]

Point Guard: Derrick Rose

Shooting Guard: Kyle Korver

Small Forward: Rolle Deng

Power Forward: Carlos Boozer

Center: Jokinoa

The Bulls did make personnel adjustments. At the No. 2 position, they used Kyle Korver to replace Keith Bogans as the starter.

The two are vastly different in function and features.

It turns out that the Bulls' starting No. 2 player and Keith Bogans are almost purely defensive perimeter players. He plays the role of defending the opponent's perimeter arrow players.

, Do not hold the ball on the offensive end, the most open space.

In the last game, Bogans had very few opportunities to play. Even if he and Rose switched positions to mark Bai Feng in the fourth quarter, the effect was not very good.

And Kyle Korver is a strong offensive firepower, but the defense is very weak player.

Especially one-handed three-pointers, very accurate.

Obviously, judging from this personnel change, the Biwan Bulls intend to strengthen their perimeter offense.

The NBA playoffs are like this. He will not want to be as static as the regular season. Once a team encounters a setback, they will be the first to change.

However, it is still unknown what Tom Thibodeau will change the Bulls' tactics in this game. A change in a starter cannot explain all the problems.

Cut, you have to fight to find out!.
