It's a miracle!

With the MVP reimbursed for the regular season due to early surgery, it is not easy for this team to keep the top four in the West. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 But they have done so many incredible miracles, from 24 consecutive wins to 73 wins, this journey is unparalleled, and this season is destined to go down in the history of the league.

The final record of 73 wins will naturally make headlines in the global sports media the next day. Almost everyone had nothing to say about it, and the Spurs tried their best to resist, and they were still ahead when there was only one minute left in the game, but in the end they were still not as good as others.

Of course, "almost" everyone is not everyone, and Barkley said wildly: "The success of the Rockets comes from a change in the rules, and if handcheck is allowed, they will be a team with 68 wins at most." The Jordanian Bulls were the best team in history, and I believe they could easily beat the Rockets. ”

But when his old partner Smith pointed out that the Rockets were missing Maddie, he ran out of words.

"This ..... With t_mac, they can compete with the bulls. He said hesitantly.

Journalists will not let go of this opportunity to stir up trouble. Wang Yuanfei, who was at the press conference, immediately received such a question: "Mr. Wang, what do you think of Barkley's remarks that the Rockets are not as good as the Bulls back then?" ”

"This is not a backache when standing and talking, as we all know, basketball is developing, and each era has a different style of play and different characteristics of the times." Yuan Fei said eloquently: "I think when Jordan first won the championship, some basketball celebrities jumped out and said that the Bulls were not as strong as the Lakers led by Magic. Some even questioned that Jordan was too lonely, unlike Magic and Big Birdie who could lead teammates to score together. The result? Jordan shattered those doubts with two triple wins. ”

"Mr. Wang, since you said that each era has different playing styles and characteristics, what kind of basketball will the Rockets play next?" Another reporter asked.

"Space and efficiency."

"So who do you think is the biggest enemy on the way to the Rockets' defense?"

"Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat. The Lakers have the best talent in the league, while the Heat have the most terrifying combination of inside and outside. Yuan Fei replied without hesitation.

"In the face of such an opponent, does the rocket have any magic weapon to defeat the enemy?"

"I have no comment on that." Yuan Fei smiled: "You can't let the opponent know." The answer sparked a burst of laughter from reporters and players.

Reality does allow the Rockets to laugh, they have won all the home-court advantage in the playoffs, and they are not strong against the Kings in the first round, and Maddie may return in the second round, which puts them in an absolute position to compete for the championship.

At this time Jason. Bass is also very happy with the next matchup.

The top eight standings in the West are: Rockets, Lakers, Nuggets, Spurs, Mavericks, Suns, Clippers, Kings. The Kings had a good record after Artest joined, catching up all the way to the final train of the playoffs with a record of 42 wins.

In this way, the Lakers met their city rival Clippers in the first round, which is simply the first round for the Lakers to have all their home court. And what about the opponents in the second round? The Suns folded Xiaosi, and the Nuggets were able to occupy the third place completely by relying on the rule advantage, and the top eight in the West were probably the weakest except for the Kings. The Lakers are going to laugh out loud when they see such a matchup.

(Small allusion: The Nuggets and Kings are both 44-38 this year in history, but the Nuggets are third in the West, and the Kings are eighth in the West.) As a result, the Kings and the strong rival Spurs fought 6 games before they were out, while the Nuggets were easily eliminated by the Clippers, who were not as strong as the Spurs, 4-1. Finally, the alliance could not bear this injustice and was forced to change the rules. From the 2006-07 season onwards, the Division Champion will be ranked at the bottom of the Division 4th if the Division Champion does not finish second in the Division)

If there are no surprises, the Rockets will meet the winner between the Spurs and Mavericks in the second round, while the Lakers will meet the Suns. If the two top two in the Lake of Fire can meet, they will have to wait for the Western Conference Finals.

The top eight in the East are: Pistons, Heat, Nets, Cavaliers, Hawks, Pacers, Bulls, 76ers. The Pistons are undoubtedly still the favourites to win the Eastern Conference, with the Heat not far behind, and the East is basically their two-man turn. The Nets, Pacers, 76ers and other old powerhouses have gradually declined, and the new forces such as the Cavaliers, Hawks and Bulls still need time to grow slowly.

After a two-day break, on April 22, the 2006 NBA playoffs officially began. The Rockets hosted the Challenger Kings, and it was surprisingly smooth for the game. Yao Ming only played 24 minutes before being substituted due to too much lead, and he had already contributed 21+7 before leaving. Reed 20+5+2, Billups 18+5+4, Bosh 18+8, and the Rockets scored double-doubles with a disparity of 91:132.

"Let's break another record, how about a playoff win?" Young and frivolous Amir. Johnson also scored 10 points on this ball and he was very excited.

"Don't just talk about it." Billups immediately took out the demeanor of a big brother and knocked the younger brother, "We are very strong, but we are not arrogant!" ”

"Even at their peak, the Lakers only won 16-1." Yao Ming sighed: "At that time, I had not yet entered the NBA, and sitting in front of the TV, I especially longed for O'Neal's majestic posture. Now, I am also getting closer to the great achievements of my predecessors. ”

The Lakers' luck was also exceptionally good that year, O'Neal rested from an injury in the regular season, but it was full of electricity because of a blessing in disguise, and Kobe Bryant's shooting hand was particularly hot in the playoffs. Their main rival, the Spurs, injured second scorer Derrick. Anderson. Yuan Fei said: "In fact, it was the Kings led by our head coach who caused the biggest trouble to the Lakers that year, they lost only 6 points in two games, and only lost 3 points in one game. However, the gap between that Kings team and our current opponent is huge, and the only main rotation player left is Bibe. ”

"Stop talking about my predecessor, let's come back and talk about my current one." Adelman also humorously said: "We have made history, and whether we can continue to create it depends on hard work and attitude." Now we just need to hold our heads high with pride and keep fighting. ”

Adelman's self-confidence didn't come out of nowhere, as he knew the king well and knew his opponent's tactics. In the second battle on April 25, the king made some resistance after adjustment, but almost everything fell into Ah Shuai's calculations. The Rockets responded well and went to the next 83-106.
