Chapter 678

In the fourth game of the first round of the pirate team's playoffs, the Shanghai pirate team kept a huge leading edge. Now it's more than half of the fourth quarter, and the 76ers don't have any chance to turn over. The pirate team has basically secured the tickets for the second round of the playoffs.

But Richard was sitting on the sidelines, frowning.

Paul's hurt again

Paul was injured in the east end last season, but this season is even worse. He suffered a direct injury in the first round of the playoffs.

Richard sighed. It was totally unreasonable. Paul's luck was terrible.

But even though Paul was injured, the injury didn't seem to be too serious. Richard didn't plan to use the injury scroll for Paul at the moment. After the game, see the doctor's diagnosis.

If it's a minor injury, it doesn't matter. After all, the pirates can easily make it through the first round, and then they can rest for a few days, until the magic and the Cavaliers win.

During this waiting period, maybe Paul will recover

Even if the injury can not be cured, playing chicken magic or knight, Richard feels that without Paul, their pirate team can also hang the opponent.

Rondo is not as aggressive as Paul, and his character is not as good as Paul. In other aspects, he is not far behind Paul.

And the most important thing for the pirate team on the field is the attack point. Even if Rondo's attack strength is almost the same, it has little impact on the war situation.

……

At the end of the game, the pirate team won the match at the home of 76 players and made the perfect progress to the playoff round.

And green Kai and piston two teams are also sweeping opponents to advance, this year's eastern first round of the playoffs is quite rare to see three teams sweeping the situation.

In the west, the Lakers swept their opponents to advance. As for the Spurs, jazz and Suns, they are leading 3-1.

It's not that the three teams are not strong, but the four teams in the second half of the Western playoffs are much stronger than those in the East.

It's normal for these three teams to fail to sweep through the promotion.

……

Early the next morning, the pirate officer announced Paul's injury.

Paul will be suspended for two weeks or so, which may be a little earlier, or it may be delayed because the recovery is not ideal. Anyway, he will definitely be back in the East duel.

Originally, green Kai fans were excited when they saw Paul was injured. If the pirate team got rid of one Paul, the chance for green Kai to block the pirate team would be greater.

However, the official announcement of the pirates poured cold water on them, and Paul had a great chance to come back before the Eastern Conference.

……

A week later, the magic and the Knights finally decided.

Howard led the magic out of Cleveland 4-3 and got the chance to advance to the Eastern Conference semi-finals.

Richard doesn't really want to face the magic, because the magic team is full of uncertainty.

The tactical system of magic is complex and complicated. In fact, it's also simple. It's a tactical system with one mind and four shooting.

It's not a four shot, it's an inner core with four shooters.

Howard, of course, is the core of the interior line, with Turkoglu, Lewis, Nelson, Evans, Bogans, Turin, Arroyo, cook and JJ Redick breaking up on the bench.

If you look at the scoring ranking of Magic players carefully, you can easily find that among the top players in magic scoring ranking, one of them is Howard, and the other players are all three break ups

The magic's average three-point shooting times can reach more than 25 times of terror, far higher than the opponent's average of 16 times!

To know the Suns who play small ball, the average three points this season is only 21 times more

Richard loves and hates three points. The opponent may not be strong, but once the three-point shooting goes crazy, it will be more difficult for the pirate team to win.

That's why Richard doesn't want to encounter magic. He prefers to play knights with no special features. In Richard's eyes, the Knights are no better than the 76ers in the first round. Anyway, they are all the vegetable chicken teams in the eastern second half.

Richard had expected that magic could eliminate knights. Under normal circumstances, knights have suffered a lot from magic in the past two years. To be exact, they have suffered from Howard

In the 2008-09 season, the two teams met with each other. Howard beat the Cavaliers 4-2 and led them to the finals.

This is the only time in Howard's career that he led the team to the finals, stepping on the body of the Cavaliers

……

On May 5, the pirate team's home court, the eastern semi-final kicks off.

At the beginning of the game, Richard smiled bitterly. It seemed that big van Gundy was going to break the jar and fall

All kinds of three points bombarded the basket like hailstones. Magic made six shots at the beginning, five of which were three-point shots, and the other one was Howard's second attack when he grabbed the offensive backboard.

Obviously big van Gundy is going to shoot three points tonight

He is very clear that if he doesn't shoot three points crazily and plays according to the order, the magic will be hammered by the pirate team rather miserably.In this case, it's better to gamble. If you win the game, you will have no shame.

It's no shame losing to the pirates.

……

The crazy three points made by big van Gundy are the place where Richard has a headache.

To say who is the first center in the league, there are many answers to this question, but to say who has the strongest rebounding ability and defense ability, it must be Howard.

Such a top rebounder, with four shooters to play, sometimes can play a very magical power.

At least at present, the magic's tactical system has played a good effect. At the beginning of the game, six shots earned eight points, which is comparable to the pirate team.

Now it depends on the gold content of magic's three breakups. If they can break out, it may be possible to complete the feat of counter attacking pirates.

However, the possibility is very small. Richard felt that as long as the magic doesn't have the situation of crazy shooting 50-60 times and 3-pointers, and then the hit rate reaches 50%, the pirate team won't have a big problem.

After 48 minutes of the game, the pirate fans at the scene were relieved. The magic's madness was amazing.

In this game, they made 42 crazy 3-pointers and 17 hits. In fact, the hit rate is quite good, reaching the level of 40.5%.

But their two-point shooting rate today is not high, even less than 40%.

In this case, the pirates rely on a solid lineup to win 11 points.

Richard is very clear that after winning this game, it is estimated that the magic's three chapters will become more crazy in the next game.

Because they've enjoyed the game!

If there were a little more three point shots and a little less efficient midfield shots, they might be able to kill the pirates tonight!

Two days later, the second game between the pirates and magic began.

What makes Richard laugh bitterly is that tonight's magic is obviously not as lucky as G1.

Although the three-point shooting is more crazy than G1, but the hit rate is low to the point of shooting. After the game, they made 48 three-point shots, and the hit rate is less than 30%

This directly led to the magic's three quarter collapse, and was finally hit by the pirates with a huge difference of 31 points.

……

The last two games are magic's home court. I don't know if G2's performance is too bad, which leads to some loss of confidence for the players. The magic team's hand feeling is not good in these two games, which was easily cleaned up by the pirate team.

It's sweeping the promotion again. The pirate team got the ticket to advance to dongjue.

Just the regional final, Richard naturally doesn't care. He is now concerned about green Kai and pistons, who can make it to the East and become his opponent.

At present, green Kai and piston are playing in full swing, and the two sides have reached a 2-2 draw.

The fighting between the two sides is of the same standard. Richard naturally hoped that the fiercer they fought, the better. At that time, they would finish fighting for seven and drag their tired bodies to fight against the East.

The Lakers in the West led the Suns 3-1, and Kobe Bryant took revenge on the suns. He was eliminated by the suns in the playoffs when he was single core.

As for the Spurs and jazz, they are even in a 2-2 draw, which makes Richard look more different to Sloan. The old coach really has something in his hand.
