Chapter 458 Eastern Conference Semifinals

Chapter 458 Eastern Conference Semifinals

On May 5, the Knicks narrowly defeated the Heat at home, pulled back a city, rewritten the total score to 7:1, and avoided being swept away.

Ying Xiong and other Raptors players and coaches watched the game from the team.Coach Casey wants the players to understand the opponent's situation. Of course, the opponent is the Heat. The Knicks want to reverse, and the possibility is infinitely close to zero.

For the Heat, the biggest favorite to win the championship this season, Casey certainly knows that this opponent is not as vulnerable as the Magic they defeated before.You know, this team has all the attributes of a strong team: defense, superstar, experience.If you want to beat such a team, you can do it not only by performing well, but also by performing perfectly and performing supernormally.

Coach Casey is not afraid of the opponent. If he has a one-round mentality, the opponent can't afford to lose, but his side doesn't have such a big burden, so at least in this respect, our team has a clear advantage.The problem now is that the opponent has the Big Three, while our team only has Ying Xiong as a superstar.

It is indeed a very strong opponent. The opponent has LeBron James, the No.1 in the league today, and Dwyane Wade, the top 3 shooting guard in the league. Chris Bosh is also at least the top 10 power forward in the league.Even if Ying Xiong can exchange sons with James or Wade, the opponent still has two giants, can DeRozan and James Johnson exchange sons with them?

Don't be afraid to return, and realize the gap in strength is what a head coach must do.Obviously, the strength of the Heat is far above the team, and it is too difficult to defeat the opponent in the 7-game series... The NBA playoffs are series, which is different from the "March Madness" of the NCAA. That kind of game theory is full of uncertainty, and it tests on-the-spot performance and strategy. In the NBA playoffs, at least 4 games are played, which basically eliminates this uncertainty, and the stronger team advances. more likely.

Coach Casey still thinks far ahead. This season has already exceeded the task. Being able to play a few games against the favorite Miami Heat in the playoffs can add a lot of experience to the young people in the team. This is the regular season. What the game can't give.

The future of the Raptors is bright, and so is his coaching career.

The first round of the playoffs between the Heat and the Knicks is still in progress, and the Raptors are also actively preparing for the game.Their morale is high now, they are training hard, and they are quietly waiting for their next opponent.

On May 5, the Heat returned to their home court, defeated the Knicks, eliminated their opponents with a total score of 10:4, and advanced to the semifinals.Their opponent in the semifinals was the Raptors.

The first game between the Heat and the Raptors in the semifinals will take place on May 5 at the Heat's home stadium, the American Airlines Center.

After the matchup schedule of the two teams was released, the odds of the casino came out immediately.Judging from the odds, the Heat with the Big Three are naturally the more optimistic team.And many people in the industry have also begun to predict that the general view is that the Heat will end the battle within 6 games.Because of Yingxiong's relationship, the Raptors will not be swept and have a chance to win 1-2 games at home.

Ying Xiong doesn't pay any attention to outside comments or odds. For him, his current attention is all on his opponent. "Hehe, it's not like I haven't met the Big Three before, so why should I be afraid!"

On the evening of May 5, in a high-end mansion in Miami.

At this time, in a huge private gym, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh are practicing physical fitness on the equipment.

This mansion belonged to Wade. After training during the day today, he invited two old friends to his home as guests.

"Hey, you guys, who's the most dangerous guy on the Raptors?" James gasped after finishing a set of leg strength exercises.

"Needless to say, it's the 25th!" Bosh said.

Wade glanced at his good friend James with a smile, and said with a smile, "Do you want to defend him?"

James smiled and said, "It's none of Chris' business to defend him, it's our business, haha..."

"That's right, I'll have to defend more. Why don't I switch defenses if the other side hits a pick-and-roll?" Bosh pretended to complain.

"It's better for you to defend, he has 203cm, I'm only 193cm!" Wade looked at James and said helplessly.

"Okay, no problem, I defend and I defend. By the way, brothers, what do you think is the strongest at No. 25?" James asked.

"I think it's speed and comprehensiveness," Wade put away his smile and said seriously.

"He's the fastest player I've ever seen, over 2 meters tall!" Wade added.

James nodded in agreement and said: "Not only is he fast, he is very accurate, and there are very few outside abnormalities."

Wade pondered for a while, and then continued: "Most players have a tendency. For example, me, such as LeBron, are better at breaking through than shooting. And like KD and Dirk, they are better at shooting than breaking through. But this application Xiong, has a breakthrough finish no less than me and LeBron, and has a jump shot no less than Kobe. Except for 3 points, he is not the top, and the rest of his abilities are very strong."

"And passing vision!" Bosh added abruptly.

"Yes, and the passing vision, he has the same passing vision as you, LeBron!" Wade said, looking at James.

James nodded and said: "I have to admit that if it is a single defense, I can't handle him. But after all, the opponent only has a strong point of No. 25. We all know the abilities of other players, so the most important thing is to limit No. 25!"

On this point, Wade and Bosh agree.

"Toronto really got a treasure!" James smiled.

"Moreover, I think so far, No. 25 has not shown his full strength!" Wade said quietly.

"Chris, facing your old club, you can't let it go!" James joked.

"Of course I won't! I didn't see you throwing water at the knight!" Bosh teased.

James: "..."

……

On May 5, the NBA and the Heat jointly held a press conference at the American Airlines Center, officially announcing that LeBron James was awarded the Most Valuable Player of the 13-2011 NBA regular season.

This is big news!Prior to this, the debate about who James, Ying Xiong and Durant will eventually win the regular season MVP has never stopped, and the release of this news will bring the debate to an end.

This is the third time James has won the MVP award in his career. He defeated Ying Xiong by a narrow margin and won the award in a thrilling manner.

After the news was exposed, Ying Xiong's fans were dissatisfied with the result and instantly paralyzed the official NBA website.

For this reason, the NBA officials also specifically explained to the fans that one of the most important reasons for Yingxiong's final "losing" is that he only played 58 games.

Of course, Ying Xiong's fans won't buy this explanation, and there was an instant fierce scolding battle among fans on the Internet.
