As the playoffs arrive in the second round, the excitement of the game will undoubtedly increase significantly. The four matches between the east and west have their own highlights, and the outcome is full of suspense. No longer like the first round, fans can easily guess the outcome.

The Los Angeles Times analyzed the series between the San Antonio Spurs and the Los Angeles Clippers in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs, mainly explaining the current status of the two teams from the advantages and disadvantages of both offense and defense.

Da Bendan believes that the Spurs' offensive advantage lies in their better ability to pick-and-roll cooperation and fixed-point jump shots. This team averages 1.08 points per game, ranking fifth in the league. In addition, the Spurs' shooting percentage is 42.9%, ranking fourth in the league. These two data can be concluded. The Spurs' main offensive method this season is fixed-point jump shots after pick-and-roll, especially near the bottom corner.

The players with the most fixed-point jump shots in the Spurs this season are Neal, George Hill and Randolph. These three players account for 50% of the Spurs' fixed-point jump shots this season, with Parker and Ginobili only ranked 4th and 5th. In fact, when the Spurs use pick-and-roll, their fixed-point jump shots are very efficient. It also shows that the Spurs' pick-and-roll is really effective. Especially Randolph's big butt, his cover not only can cover the ball holder, but also indirectly cover Duncan's off-ball support, and the Spurs were activated in the whole set.

The Spurs originally had a great disadvantage on the offensive end. In the last fifty games before the All-Star Game, the weakest link of the Spurs was the lack of power in the basket after breaking through and there was not enough support in the interior. In terms of the team's average basket score and shooting percentage, the Spurs were only ranked 28th in front of the All-Star Game.

At that time, the Spurs could always make wonderful breakthroughs, but the inside offense efficiency after the breakthrough was not high. Blair can be said to be one of the worst inside finishers.

However, this defect of the Spurs has been completely improved after the trade came to Randolph. Randolph's strength and height have given him a strong finishing ability at the basket. He is not only proficient in mid-range shooting, but also good at finding opportunities at low posts. His low-post offensive ability can rank among the top ten in the league. He can complete it well whether it is a low-post single or a foul. Moreover, using his amazing power, his second offense after grabbing the frontcourt rebound at the basket is also very threatening. After the Spurs' offensive system is integrated into Randolph, it suddenly becomes three-dimensional.

Objectively speaking, the Spurs are now a team with nearly perfect offense, so it is really not easy to find out their shortcomings.

But if you have to pick the ball, it means that the Spurs do not protect the ball well and are easily intercepted by their opponents. This may be because they are more dependent on passing, pick-and-roll and fixed-point shooting, which leads them to develop the habit of sharing basketball. Once the number of passes is too many, it is inevitable that they will be intercepted.

On the defensive end, the Spurs' overall defense is quite acceptable, but they have a lot of experience in defending pick-and-roll. When the opponent's ball handler intends to launch a pick-and-roll attack in the frontcourt, the Spurs' inside and outside players will respond effectively in a timely manner. Duncan will assist teammates and interfere with the ball holder's sight, while Randolph will be on the basket to prevent the opponent's big players from attacking pick-and-roll to get relatively better shooting opportunities.

Overall, the Spurs' defensive strategy is still very effective. They are still one of the teams that are good at defending pick-and-roll. As for position defense, it can be said that the Spurs are best at. The opponent's position offensive success rate is 42%. The Spurs' data ranks 15th in the league, and it seems that the ranking is not high. In fact, these are all pits left by the first half of the schedule. With Randolph's All-Star joining, the Spurs' positional defense quality has improved significantly. The Spurs' data in the second half of the season can be at least in the top 5 in the league.

The defect of the Spurs' defensive end is that one-on-one defense is not optimistic, and the breakthroughs against outside stars and fast counterattacks are very troublesome. The team's age structure is aging and lacks mobility. The young Randolph cannot run fast, and the opponent's offense and defense rhythm will definitely have problems here. The Spurs can only play slowly but not fast.

In the eyes of media supporting the Clippers, the Clippers are the teams that have always emphasized rapid conversions and are also the teams that like to play singles from outside. They have super scorers like Ji Guomeng. Billups is not old, and Iguodala's impact is also first-class. Therefore, the Spurs will face severe challenges on the defensive end, which is also an important reason why many experts are not optimistic about their ability to eliminate the Clippers.

Da Bendan believes that during the Clippers' offense, Ji Guomomiy always likes to fight with others, which often makes him fall into controversy, just like the 24th at the time.

However, if the team can open up space to create one-on-one singles opportunities for him, Ji Guomeng can get 1.11 points per attack. He ranks first in the league singles list and is a veritable singles king. If he passes in addition to his own offense, Ji Guomeng can get 1.15 points per attack, because his teammates can get open shots in such opportunities.

Since the Spurs are not good at defending one-on-one, Ji Guohun’s singles are no longer a team poison, but rather a magic potion for the Spurs to return.

Ji Guomeng also said in a high-profile manner before the game: "The Spurs are a good opponent. Well, they have shown strong strength in the game against the Hornets. But... what I want to say is that this team always seems to be helpless in the game against us. To be honest, I don't know who they will send to defend me at that time, but in the game against the Spurs..." Ji Guomeng said this and emphasized: "I mean all our playoff matches. I can score 1.3 points per attack and have a 54% shooting percentage. You heard it right, this is my data. I hope they know what these data mean. Of course, I hope they can find a way to deal with me, because this is interesting."

**Wich was so angry that he immediately retorted: "If he says that, it would be too high for him." The old coach said with a expressionless face: "We have never found a way to deal with Brother Panda. But now this most difficult problem no longer exists, so we are very confident in defeating the Clippers."

Ginobiliz alluded to the Fox brother being taken care of by the league, and told reporters: "I noticed that he always gets double-digit free throws, all because of the name in front of and behind his jersey. But if he can't enjoy such treatment, I don't think we need to worry about anything."

The Spurs players and coaches spoke in a unified tone before the game, not only did they not arouse anger by Ji Guohun's provocation. Instead, they used their unanimous methods of agitating Ji Guohun's anger and make the dead fox lose their mind first.

The Clippers and other Spurs players were very polite before the game and did not speak rudely to each other.

Most of the players in these two teams are old-fashioned people and will not show off their verbal skills if they have nothing to do.

As for this dead fox, he was purely incapable of changing his nature. All the smell of gunpowder was provoked by him, but it was all stopped by him.

In the Eastern Conference, this set of matchups between the Nets and the Heat actually attracted the attention of fans.

Three of the top five superstars in the league will appear in this round of the series. Ji Guoqiu + Nash vs. The three giants of the Hot team are full of highlights.

This group of competitions in the East is also considered to be the smallest game in this round. The battle between the two teams is believed to be refined into different offensive and defensive links. In the competition in tactical details, this will be a game of wits and courage.

The New York Times believes that the Nets are one of the best back-to-door singles teams in the league. Their ability in this regard must be ranked among the top three in the league, and their low-post offensive efficiency can reach 48.1%. The reason why the Nets can obtain such a high low-post offensive success rate is because they can use triangle offensive to create low-post offensive opportunities. Zen masters will open up space for inside scorers like Ji Guochou during the team's placeholding deployment and then play singles.

The Nets also use a lot of pick-and-roll cooperation in the offense, and they have outstanding effects when covering the screen. Especially when Nash dribbles, when players provide him with cover and he is ready to create opportunities, it is actually creating one-on-one attack opportunities for Brother Pandas, and Brother Pandas also creates opportunities for outside shooters to catch and shoot.

Such an offense is tied up one after another. If Ji Guoqiu and the outside shooter perform well, it will be difficult for this team to be defeated.

The difference between the Nets' triangular offense and pick-and-roll cooperation and other teams is that they can create multiple scoring opportunities in one round. It can also be said that the Nets' ability to create shooting opportunities is unique in the league. This is because they have two players with the best passes from their respective positions. I believe this is also a headache for any team.

Da Sabi firmly believed that the Nets would definitely win, not because of how powerful their offense, but because the Nets' only loophole on the defensive end was something that the Heat could not use.

The Nets are good at defending the pick-and-roll, but this is limited to their ability to limit the opponent's pick-and-roll inside players. As we all know, due to Nash's reasons, the Nets strategically gave up the ban on enemy shooters, which would benefit the opponent.

If the opponent's shooter uses pick-and-roll to attack, the Nets will get an average of 0.99 points per attack, with a shooting percentage of 42.1%, ranking 25th in the league, which is fifth from the bottom. Among them, Nash is the biggest problem in this defensive flaw. The opponent he defends can get a shooting percentage of 43.3% in such an offensive routine.

In the last round, in the series between the Nets and Pacers, the latter repeatedly used this flaw to make Collison, who averaged only 11 points per game, scored 21 points per game in five games. Nash was accused by many media at the time, all of whom were blamed for his defensive defense, which actually increased the average score of the opponent's players by 10 points.

But the embarrassment of the Heat is that their point guards are not as good as Collison in terms of breakthrough and shooting ability.

Chamos is completely a dribbling game in the Heat, and then plays the role of a three-point turret, and often makes inaccurate shots. He is most likely not as effective as Collison, and the Heat cannot make a big fuss about the Nets' loopholes, which is too bad for the Miami people.

So, because there are even more terrifying things, the Heat team has a big flaw that can be exploited by the Nets.

Through the first round of the game against the Magic, the Miami people fully demonstrated their weakness in the inside. They did not have a qualified low-post defensive player, nor did they have a qualified penalty area guardian or rebound guardian.

Howard averaged 29 points and 18 rebounds per game in six games, playing superstar strength. If he launched an offense at a low post, he could score 1.25 points per attack and had a shooting percentage of up to 52.9%. It can be said that Howard did not exist as the Heat's inside line.

So the question is, Howard or Ji Guoqiu, which of them has a stronger low position lethality?

This question can be answered without thinking.

If Howard could bend at the Heat's basket, then Panda Brother will naturally not take the Heat's inside line seriously.

The worst of the Heat are the center and point guard positions, but these are exactly the two strongest positions of the Nets. So if the Heat want to win, the only hope is that the Big Three will explode collectively and forcefully use their personal abilities to lead the team to win.
