Chapter 1544 February is slightly difficult

Chapter 1544 February is slightly difficult

After winning the Clippers with an incomplete lineup, they still only won the opponent by five points. The Celtics did not play very well after all.

But the regular season has reached February, and now there is not much time left for the playoffs.

Why do others think this is a playoff game?

One of the most important points is the intensity of confrontation in this game.

Without Chris Paul, under the leadership of Griffin and Jordan, the Clippers can be said to have played very well.

It's just that Qin Tao stabilized Griffin in this game. If his offense can be opened up, the Clippers may be able to win.

But Griffin and Qin Tao can be regarded as old enemies, whoever is strong and who is weak has already decided the winner, so this thing is a bit metaphysical.

After playing the Clippers, the Celtics will have two days of rest.

They have tasted two home games, and they will go to Sacramento and the Kings next.

In the following two days, the most exciting game was between the Cavaliers and the Wizards.

This game between them can be said to be eye-popping.

The Wizards' situation this season is stronger than last season, and they have won [-] wins, showing strong competitiveness.

But if you expect them to beat the Cavaliers, you really don't underestimate them. It's because their overall strength has not reached this level.

But what people didn't expect was that it was such a strong and weak match, but they contributed a very exciting game.

Especially on the offensive end, the Wizards scored an astonishing 135 points. This is really a very surprising statistic for a defensive team that is not good at mid-range and long-distance.

To know.

Such a bullish statistic was won against the Cavaliers instead of an ordinary weak team. It is really amazing!

But with so many points, they were not the final winners.

If the Wizards' offense is surprising, then the strength of the Cavaliers has left a very deep impression on people.

Their defense in this game was not good, which allowed the Wizards to score so many points, but there was no problem with their own offense.

They scored 144 points in the game, and their offensive state is also very strong.

But James looked serious after the game.

The Cavaliers won the ball, but the process was really a bit depressing.

The Cavaliers can be said to be the top defensive team in the league. Although the offense was very good in this game, the defense was completely absent.

It's still the regular season, and there are still opportunities, but once it's the playoffs, even if they win, the Cavaliers can't afford to lose that person.

After all, they are not only a defensive team, but also have three major players in the team. Isn't it a face to play like this?

Besides, their opponents are locked on the Celtics.

If they can't even defend properly, Qin Tao and the others are not the Wizards. Give them any chance, and the Cavaliers will be crushed in an instant!

so.

With the playoffs getting closer and closer, almost all teams are making a series of adjustments to better prepare for the playoffs.

However, there are teams that plan for the playoffs early, and half of the teams do not have this opportunity.

For example, on February [-]th, the Celtics played against the Kings.

The Kings are almost still rebuilding their state. Before the draft, they felt that they had good potential, but in real play, the performance of the rookies and the state of the team were not very good.

Especially the management side.

Vlade Divac was a top supporter when he played, but it would be a bit difficult for him to manage a team.

It's not that he doesn't have that ability, it's that some of his operations are really incomprehensible.

Let’s just talk about the Kings’ deals in the past two years. Originally, they sent talented players to get high-quality chips, but who knows that the people they exchanged couldn’t play at all.

If it weren't for the casual attitude of the Kings bosses towards the team's promotion, he probably wouldn't be able to sit firmly in this position.

But that's it.

Since the team can't go out, it will come step by step.

Don't you know how many years of reconstruction the 76ers who were as good as them have gone through.

Even with Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons now, they still give people a feeling of belly.

Maybe the Kings are also waiting for an opportunity to get a top rookie, trade or sign one, or even multiple core players. Wouldn't that take off all at once?

In this game, the Celtics almost didn't let Qin Tao and Durant play much time, and almost all of them were handed over to the role players.

The final result was no surprise, the Celtics won the game very easily.

at the same time.

Before the start of this game, Qin Tao met his old friend, Shaquille O'Neal, who is always busy.

The two felt like they hadn't seen each other for a long time, so it was natural that they had a hot chat.

But as one of the small owners of the Kings, O'Neal's feeling in the past four years has not been particularly good.

Originally thought that he could suppress Cousins, but who knows that this guy doesn't give face at all, whether he should be muddled or muddled, his character can't be restrained at all.

If it weren't for the rapid progress of Cousins, I'm afraid O'Neal would have scolded people.

Especially this season.

When Cousins ​​suffered an injury, another member of the team, Rudy Gay, also suffered an injury. The results of a group of substitutes leading the team really made people unhappy.

Simply O'Neill has always been very optimistic, otherwise he would have been depressed for a whole year.

After playing the Kings, the Celtics went directly to the next away game, Portland.

The Blazers this season, relatively speaking, is really a bit bleak.

They played back and forth with the Super Dark Horse Thunder last season, and they even felt stronger.

But look at this season again.

Although the Blazers' double guns in the backcourt are still strong, they have really declined this season compared to last season.

After playing more than 50 games, they managed to get 23 wins.

This is a completely unexpected result.

After all, losing [-] games is not a safe record for a western team.

But talking about it now is just comparing them this season with last season. Maybe they can catch up in the second half and enter the playoffs.

In this game, the Blazers' performance at the beginning completely exceeded Qin Tao's prediction.

In the first quarter, the Blazers scored a tough 32 points, and only allowed the Celtics with Qin Tao and Durant to score 22 points.

Leading the visiting team by [-] points in the first quarter, it was the Celtics who won. This is not just a good fortune.

With the beginning of the second quarter, the Celtics gradually began to look up.

Their defense has finally improved, and their offense still continues to have a good touch.

In the end, although they only scored 27 points, the Blazers did not have the ferocity of the first quarter and scored 23 points.

The four points from inside and outside made Qin Tao and the others calm down.

After all, six points is really nothing to them, and they may be able to get back with a few attacks.
