Back in the locker room, Zhou Xuan immediately learned the result of another game, and he won the title of scoring champion.

"Thank you for today, everyone!" Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "I will invite everyone to dinner during the holidays." ”

"Go eat Chinese food." Matthews proposed.

"No problem, everyone have a good meal and then prepare for the playoffs." Zhou Xuan said loudly before entering the bathroom: "In the playoffs, I will no longer attack desperately, I will focus on organization, let's work together!" ”

Zhou Xuan will definitely say these words when he has a lot of shots. If you say it, it looks like a team, and if you take it for granted, even if your teammates don't show it, they will feel bad after a long time. Zhou Xuan is always very measured in the locker room, playing when he should play, being serious when he is just serious, and the scene will not fall.

At the press conference, Zhou Xuan became the focus of attention, and reporters already knew that he had won the scoring title.

What Zhou Xuan said when he talked about his thoughts was very simple. "It's nice to be the leading scorer, I've taken on more attacking tasks this season, so the stats have improved and no matter how I play, my aim is to win."

The reporter asked: "Are you confident of winning the championship this season?" ”

"We're all very confident."

The regular season is over, because the schedule is tight and it feels very short. The Knicks finished with a 55-11 record, the first in the league; The Bulls are 50-16 and second in the East; Heat 46-21 third; Then came the Pacers, Celtics, Hawks, 76ers, and Magic.

The 9-15 are the Bucks, Pistons, Raptors, Nets, Cavaliers, Wizards, and Bobcats.

The Western Spurs took first place again. The 50-16 record is the same as the Bulls. The 2-8 places are the Thunder, Lakers, Grizzlies, Clippers, Nuggets, Mavericks, and Jazz.

The 9-15 places are the Rockets, Suns, Trail Blazers, Timberwolves, Warriors, Kings, and Hornets.

In terms of personal honors, Zhou Xuan won the scoring title, Howard rebounding king, Rondo assist king, Paul steal king, and block king were won by Thunder's Ibaka.

The first round of the playoffs was confirmed, and the ESPN expert panel made predictions as usual.

There is no suspense about the Knicks vs Magic. The Magic are definitely going to be swept away, and they are at a disadvantage except for the center, but Howard is also out for back surgery. And the Knicks have a group of swingmen with excellent individual defense, just enough to restrain Turkoglu and Richardson.

Bulls vs 76ers. Four pundits believe the Bulls will finish the battle in less than six games, and only Gutierrez himself is optimistic about the 76ers upset. The reason is that the 76ers start and the bench is very reasonable.

There is no suspense about the Heat vs Hawks. Predict 4-1 or 4-0 for the Heat to advance. No one believes the Hawks will cause an upset, especially given that their roster has weakened this season, and their only advantage is on the inside. The Heat only dug up Turiaf who was laid off in the middle of the game, and the reinforcement did not play a big role. Horford is better than Joel Anthony or Haslem, but Horford will be sidelined due to injury.

The Celtics vs Pacers is a battle. The Celtics' strength is experience, and the Pacers are a hard-working young team that doesn't have a particularly strong core, but they're not afraid of anyone. It's a series that's hard to predict, and it's likely to be a full seven, with the Celtics having a better chance of winning.

Western Spurs vs Jazz no suspense, predicted sweep. The Jazz's interior advantage has to be discounted to the Spurs, and Duncan, despite the decline in statistics, is still a star in the league. Split is also a good defensive blue-collar player, and the Spurs are well-balanced offensively and defensively.

Thunder VS Mavericks are the most interesting. Predict a 4-1 or 4-2 Thunder victory.

Chinese fans want to know whether this year is the Thunder's successful revenge or the Mavericks' elimination of the opponent again. The Mavericks have the potential to cause an upset, they are the defending champions, but experts believe that the Thunder have more hope of advancing because they have a good combination of inside and outside, desperate defense, and the Trident of Durant, Westbrook and Harden have super attacking power. The Mavericks are showing signs of aging, Kidd has become a laggard, and Nowitzki and Yao Ming are also declining. They have a lot of inside players, but the two stars will become weaker as soon as they get off the court.

Lakers vs Nuggets is a big battle between scorers. Experts predict a 4-1 or 4-2 victory for the Lakers.

Bryant and Anthony are likely to score points. The Nuggets traded Nene for McGee this season. The coaching staff felt that McGee was more physical, but they quickly discovered that McGee was mentally retarded and couldn't compare to None. The disadvantage on the inside is likely to see them go home in the first round again.

The Grizzlies vs. Clippers game is the hardest to predict, with experts believing it will be a full seven, and whoever wins is likely. The strength of the Clippers is that they have Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, both inside and outside. Griffin has developed into one of the league's top interior players with a strong offensive ability.

The actual Clippers inside line is not dominant. Jordan Jr. has always been a rough guy, and Griffin is not good at mid-to-long-range shooting, so they can't pull out the empty basket and can't play Paul's strongest strength. On the contrary, although the Grizzlies' two fat men have poor athleticism, they can both shoot in the middle, and Gasol Jr. will also respond to the attack after blocking and dismantling high. The Grizzlies also have fierce men such as Guy and Conley on the outside, and their defense is very strong.

The playoffs will begin on the 29th.

Zhou Xuan invited the members of the coaching staff, management, and players to eat at the best Chinese restaurant in Chinatown as promised.

The boss is familiar with Zhou Xuan, and the private rooms are ready. The players can bring their girlfriends and family members, and Zhou Xuan called Chloe and Emma. Ryan Anderson also found a celebrity girlfriend, Gia Alimande, who participated in the reality shows "Diamond Seeking Gold" and "Single Apartment". Parsons and Gallinari's girlfriends are also very beautiful, and the group is particularly eye-catching.

At this meal, everyone almost didn't talk about basketball, but talked about movies and celebrity gossip. When they left, they also attracted a lot of reporters to chase after the door.

The next day, the news said that the Knicks team was in harmony, and the players, managers, and owners had dinner together.

The Magic team is in the opposite situation.

Management wants to keep Howard, the "monster," while Howard and Coach Van Gundy are still in a cold war. The Magic players said nothing about the infighting in interviews in an attempt to add a chip to the playoffs, but everyone knew that their morale was low.

On Friday, Howard underwent successful back surgery in Los Angeles to remove a herniated disc fragment from his back, although he will miss all of the remaining games and the London Olympics.

People said that Howard was going to give up magic, and Howard also came forward to clarify before the operation, but Howard clarified that he just didn't want people to say that he was unfaithful. During the break, he will also not focus on the Magic's games, but will discuss with his agent which team to trade to in the summer. He just wants to leave now, and he doesn't think he can win a championship with the Magic.

It's completely understandable that O'Neal didn't win the championship with the Magic, and Howard, no matter how arrogant he was, would not think he was better than the "Big Shark" of his youth. He wants to join a team that can win championships. In fact, Howard doesn't have many options, the Knicks have Chandler, the Spurs can't want him, the Thunder can't afford him, and the only thing left is the Clippers or the Lakers. Wherever he goes, he has his sights set on next season. This is the negative effect of the Heat's Big Three.

Zhou Xuan didn't go out the next day, he listened to music at home for a day, and he wanted to find the right rhythm.

Emma Watson asked, "If you don't practice and listen to music all the time, why don't you watch a movie with us?" ”

Zhou Xuan shook his head and said, "No, I'm just practicing, to be precise, I'm practicing my heart, I can listen to music and fantasy and magic games." ”

Emma rolled her eyes, of course not believing it. "So you're just listening to one song called 'RememberTheName'?"

"It's a song that makes him feel like he's going to be extraordinary." Chloe chimed in.

Kolo knows Zhou Xuan's strange practice method. Although she didn't know why Zhou Xuan wanted to do this, he was indeed more skilled in his movements under that song, and he could have a beautiful basketball hip-hop dance.

Zhou Xuan smiled: "Without Howard, the Magic's interior defense is not good, get ready to see how difficult my first game is super data." Let's hope they don't lose too quickly. ”

Without Howard, Davis would be the starting center, one of the slowest interior players in the league, and Zhou Xuan didn't need to save face for the Magic.

Zhou Xuan averaged 28 per game this season. 3 points 3. 2 rebounds 8. 6 assists 2. 1 steal, 0. 1 block, plus the best record, almost 100% of the regular season MVP. In the opening game of the playoffs, he also wanted to attack with all his strength and boost morale with a big win.

"Listen, I'll go upstairs and read." Emma sighed.

"Keep listening, I'm going to the movies too, and I'll go watch you play tomorrow night." Chloe laughed.

Zhou Xuan continued to listen to the songs, and in the past two seasons, he has a new understanding, and his sense of rhythm is better than before. Many people don't understand what he can do after he is injured and he can fight better than before, and no one will learn how to go to Lu, which is a mysterious realm. As early as the moment he was hit by a mathematical genius, he was no longer an ordinary person. He can anticipate his opponent's movements and can control the tempo perfectly.

The team didn't have a training schedule, the players were resting, and the three coaching staff consulted to find the Magic's weaknesses, which was clear at a glance.

D'Antoni said: "I think it's better to let Zhou take the main offense, he has a height advantage when he plays Nelson, he can shoot when he shakes out a little space, and he has an advantage no matter which interior line he plays after blocking." ”

Woodson nodded and said: "I agree, the defender marks the man, and after the block, the defense is misplaced, the upper three swing people, only Davis can attack on the inside, Tyson is waiting for him under the basket, and the perimeter interferes." ”

Ma Long smiled: "In the first round, we not only have to sweep, but also try to play a big score." This will boost the confidence of the young players. I think Zhou Xuan will also want to get a high score. ”

If Zhou Xuan can score a high score in the playoffs, he will definitely make the home fans excited, and the future games will support them more. Scoring high points in the playoffs is harder and more valuable than in the regular season. This is also a good opportunity for Zhou Xuan to elevate his historical status.

The three Mikes on the coaching staff all wanted to know what kind of amazing performance Zhou Xuan would have in the face of the weak team Magic.
