In fact, in the game, both Garnett and Pierce tried to take over the game many times and lead the team to victory, but it backfired.

Pierce averaged 18 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game, but under Leonard's defense, he shot just 35.8% from the field and averaged 5.3 turnovers per game.

Garnett is in a slightly better situation, but he can only guarantee a shooting rate of about 50% in terms of scoring efficiency, and the data of 14 points and 9.5 rebounds per game does not directly help the Celtics win.

Even if you do your best, the situation will undoubtedly get worse when the two are a year older next season.

At this moment, Boston fans are feeling lost, Pierce's contract will not expire until 14 years, and Garnett's contract will remain until 15 years, which will also mean that there will be little hope for the Celtics in two years......

They certainly didn't expect that there would be no need to worry about this, because after the end of the season, Celtics head coach Ainge will find a way to pack up Garnett and Pierce to send the team into a rebuilding phase early.

Trading the team's meritorious veterans is a very unscrupulous thing, and Angie will be spurned by countless Green Army fans because of this deal.

It won't be long before the fans will be shouting about it.

After trading for Garnett Pierce, the Celtics sank for just one season, returning to the playoffs under coach Stevens and becoming one of the strongest teams in the East in just a few years.

Of course, that's a story for later, the Nets now have Jeremy Lin, full of energy, there is no need to take over the two old guys, Garnett and Pierce, and it is difficult to say whether Angie can package and trade the two this summer.

……

The 4-0 sweep of the Celtics made the Wizards the first team to reach the second round, followed by the Spurs, who also swept the Lakers 4-0.

The Spurs finished second in the West during the regular season, while the Lakers finished seventh in the West, with the two teams meeting in the first round of the playoffs.

The Lakers don't have Kobe, no Nash, only Gasol and Howard, they are not the opponents of the Spurs at all, even if this Spurs don't have Leonard, the forward strength is one grade weaker than another time and space, but it still easily eliminated the Lakers 4:0.

Poor Kobe Bryant, who fought hard to drag the Lakers into the playoffs in the regular season, but the team was eliminated in the first round.

After the game, Kobe Bryant made it clear that he was dissatisfied with the team's fighting spirit, and Howard was also very impatient in front of the media, and it was clear that Howard would basically not stay with the Lakers this summer, and the Lakers' Super F4 combination also fell apart with being swept out of the first round of the playoffs.

With the exception of the Wizards and Spurs, there were no other swept games in the first round.

On the eastern side, the game between the Heat and the Pacers went on 3:1, and the Heat got the match point, but the Pacers' stubborn resistance also gave the Heat a slight headache.

The game between the Knicks and the Hawks was tied 2:2, which made many people unexpected. There's nothing Horford can do, Tyson. Chandler's interior defense is top-notch in the league, but it can be a bit difficult to meet a center like Horford who has an accurate mid-range shot.

The two sides are about to fight the battle of Tianwang Mountain, and Wang Xiao is still more optimistic about the Knicks winning in the end, after all, the combination of Anthony + Delon has a certain power even if it is just a single.

The final group in the East, Nets vs. Bulls, is a bit clearer than the Knicks and Hawks.

At this time, the Nets had a 3-1 match point.

Without Rose, the Bulls are a toothless tiger, and although they still maintain some strength by relying on Thibodeau's defensive system, they have no offensive firepower, and it is even more difficult to defeat the Nets with Jeremy Lin.

……

What makes Wang Xiao a little concerned is that once the Nets eliminate the Bulls and enter the second round, then their opponent in the second round is Wang Xiao's Wizards.

This will be the first attempt at a playoff matchup between Wang Xiao and Jeremy Lin.

The Knicks can breathe a sigh of relief, and now they'd rather face the Heat than the Wizards early.

Because the Knicks have also been eliminated by the Wizards in the playoffs for two consecutive years.

The Big Three of the Heat, the Big Three of the Celtics, and the Big Three of the Knicks, their playoff journeys in recent years have basically all fallen to Wang Xiao's Wizards.

The Wizards are almost an eternal nightmare for the Big Three teams in the East.

……

A few days later, the results of the first round were all in.

The Heat eliminated the Pacers 4:1, the Knicks eliminated the Hawks 4:2, and the Nets also eliminated the Bulls with a score of 4:2 to advance to the second round.

In this way, the second round of the Eastern Conference is the script of the Wizards vs Nets and the Heat vs Knicks.

In the West, the second-round matchup was the Trail Blazers vs. Clippers and the Spurs vs. Thunder.

Before the start of the second round, the league began to announce the major awards of the regular season.

The first team to be announced was the All-Defensive Team and All-Defensive Team.

The list of the best teams is Curry, Kobe, James, Durant and Duncan.

The best second-team players are Paul, Jeremy Lin, Anthony, Griffin and Gasol Jr.

The best three team was selected by Tony. Parker, Wade, Harden, George & Howard.

The selection of the entire best team is still relatively pertinent and reasonable, but there is nothing in this world that can satisfy everyone, and there are still many people who are dissatisfied with the failure of some players to make the best team.

For example, Westbrook, who led the Thunder to the second round, averaged 23 points, 5.2 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game in the regular season, but he couldn't even be selected for the third team, while Harden's Kings didn't even make the playoffs and became the best three-team member......

But such arguments are endless, and they have little practical significance.

Just like Thompson and Leonard, who performed well this season, were also not selected for the best team, although Wang Xiao also had a lot of complaints, he only complained twice.

The Wizards were selected to the All-Star Team only for one time Curry and George for three teams, just like last season, but in the All-Defensive Team it was a big bonus.

Leonard was named to the All-Defensive First Team, while Thompson and George were both named to the All-Defensive Second Team.

In fact, with George's defensive ability, he has the strength to be selected as the best defensive team, but this season he mainly plays the power forward position, facing the interior of other teams, height and weight are at a disadvantage, so naturally he is often beaten because of this weakness, and the defensive effect is slightly worse than Leonard.

A team has three All-Defensive Team players, which is quite a remarkable achievement, and people are marveling at how quickly the Wizards' defensive strength has risen, but only Wang Xiao understands that by next season, the Wizards may not be selected to the All-Defensive Team but four.

You know, Drummond squatting on the bench. Green is already hungry and thirsty!
