At the beginning of the game, Vanderwig found Xiao Ran: "Xiao Ran, the playoffs, are you nervous?"

"I have nothing to be nervous about, I have participated in all the Olympics, I have no experience in major competitions, there is nothing to be nervous about. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xiao Ran shrugged his shoulders and said.

"It's your first season, so I thought you'd be nervous, because if you can win the championship this season, you'll definitely be paid a lot more in the future. Van de Wywich explained.

Xiao Ran's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "You mean that if we win the championship this season, next season, my salary will increase a lot?"

Vanderwig laughed: "I thought you weren't nervous." ”

Xiao Ran glanced at him and said, "When it comes to money, how can I not be nervous!"

"Okay, since you've spoken, then I'll tell you, the top management has been discussing your salary for a long time, some people want to give you a high contract, want to keep you, but some people don't plan to do so, let's put it this way, in fact, the Nets are not a particularly rich team, some high-level executives don't hire you as much money as they do, and the salary ranges from 15 million to 50 million per year, up and down. ”

"But if you can win the championship, I bet that even if the Nets don't give you a contract of more than 100 million yuan, other teams will definitely look for you!"

"You're going to have the highest salary in the league! But first, you've got to win the championship!"

When Vanderwig spoke, he looked at Xiao Ran with a smile.

"Since this is the case, then I think that this season, the Nets will have only one result, and that is to win the championship!" After speaking, Xiao Ran thought about it, nodded with great certainty: "That's right, there is this one result, and no one can stop it!"

……

This year, in addition to the Nets and Raptors in the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Celtics also finished second in the East with a 53-29 record.

The Cavaliers are third in the East, with only two wins behind the Celtics.

In addition to that, there is equipment, the Hawks, Bucks and Pacers, the Bulls and the Heat miss the playoffs by one game.

On this ranking table, the Nets are unbeatable, and no one would have imagined that the team that was the bottom team last season would be able to win the first place in the league this year!

Speaking of results, the western region is more intuitive than the eastern region.

Among them, the Warriors, Spurs, Rockets, Clippers, Jazz, Thunder, Grizzlies, and Trail Blazers also broke into the playoffs.

The first game will be on April 16th at 7pm!

That is, Huaxia time, seven o'clock in the morning.

This kind of time game is definitely good news for Chinese fans, because they don't need to stay up late to watch the game!

April 16th.

The Nets face a first-round opponent who is the Pacers, who are eighth in the East!

Speaking of the Pacers, this team is really good.

The Indiana Pacers are a professional basketball team based in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, and are part of the Central Division of the NBA's Eastern Conference.

The Pacers were founded in 1967 and joined the National Basketball Association (ABA) and won three ABA championships in 1970, 1972 and 1973.

After the 1976 merger of the Basketball Association and the National Basketball League (NBA), the Pacers became one of four teams in the original ABA league to join the NBA.

The Pacers failed to make the NBA playoffs in the '70s, but in the '80s they made a series of changes to their roster and made a comeback, reaching the Eastern Conference Finals four times in the '90s under the leadership of coaches Larry Brown and Larry Bird.

In 2000, he reached the finals under the leadership of Reggie Miller, but lost in the end.

It can be said that the strength of the Pacers is definitely not weak in the Eastern Conference, and they can basically enter the playoffs every year.

The Pacers' style is offense, and it can be said that in the Eastern Conference, many teams have been restrained by him.

But when it comes to the Nets, no one thinks the Pacers will be able to create the Black Eight Miracle!

Several Black Eight miracles in the league are because the team has an absolutely powerful offense, and a player who can carry the banner can appear in a certain position, which the Pacers do not have.

Speaking of the Pacers' players, it is estimated that Brooks is the most familiar player among the Chinese!

At only 1.83 meters, Brooks is an absolute small player in the league, but his speed is definitely the top player in the league!

Running, low center of gravity, fast speed, definitely the best point guard, plus a decade of NBA experience, this veteran may really cause some problems for the Nets.

But after all, he has been playing for ten years, and now Brooks's breakthrough is no longer as strong as it was at its peak, and there are some sticky balls, in addition, his height is destined for his poor defensive ability!

In addition, their big center Al Jefferson will also put a lot of pressure on the Nets to a certain extent.

In terms of the least rebounding, the Nets will be at an absolute disadvantage.

But in general, the Pacers do not have an absolutely strong core, although they are good in terms of overall strength, but in terms of individual ability, they have a weakness that cannot be underestimated.

Especially in the face of Xiao Ran, the Pacers don't have enough ability to compete.

Seven o'clock in the evening.

The Nets' first game of the playoffs has officially begun.

The Nets, who are playing at home, received a very warm welcome as soon as they played.

Most of these fans are New York fans, but nearly 30 percent of them are fans from all over the world!

Among them, some people are fans of the Pacers, and some people are fans of Xiao Ran.

It can be said that in terms of atmosphere, the Nets already have an absolute advantage.

As the first place in the regular season, the Nets are not small and popular, and most Chinese fans quietly watch the game.

In this game, the difference in strength between the two teams is too big, and there will be no upset at all.

On the starters.

Nets starters: Offensive guard: Xiao Ran.

Defender: Spencer Dinwiddie.

Center: López.

Power forward: Scola.

Small forward: Caris Left.

……

Pacers: Point guard: Aaron Brooks.

Center: Al Jefferson.

Power forward: Paul George.

Offensive defender: Monta Ellis.

Playmaker: Jeff Teague.

……

The Pacers have three guards, and two point guards are among those three!

In order to prevent Xiao Ran from defending too tightly.

In this way, there can be more passes, more opportunities to organize attacks,

In this way, the Pacers have not studied the Nets, and now maybe the Pacers players still have a glimmer of hope of winning......
