At the end of the regular season, the Buccaneers were all excited, and they could clearly feel Richard's ambitions for this playoffs.

Richard was aiming for the title.

To be precise, they can no longer call new melon eggs.

Milicic has played the fourth season of his career, and he is already a "veteran", after all, the average career of a player in the league is about four years.

It's just that he, a veteran, is a little unusual.

Except for a few newcomers who just joined the team this year, the other players have also played for more than two years.

The schedule of the Eastern and Western playoffs is already hot.

The eight playoff teams in the West are, in order, the Mavericks, Suns, Spurs, Lakers, Jazz, Nuggets, Clippers and Warriors.

Seeing this Western Conference playoff roster, I'm afraid future generations of fans should expect what will happen in this Western Conference playoffs......

That's right, Black Eight was born.

This year's Mavericks were eliminated by the Warriors with a score of 2:4 in the first round, becoming a shame in the history of the Mavericks that can never be washed away.

When it comes to the Mavericks, in addition to thinking of Nowitzki, I'm afraid the second thing that comes to mind is that they were blackened by the Warriors.

Richard wasn't sure if Nelson Sr. would still be able to black the Mavericks this year, after all, the roster is not quite the same.

The Warriors team of the Black Eight Mavericks actually has a lot of strong people in the team, but they don't have a supergiant-level star.

Bearded Byron Davis, Al Harrington, Martial Saint Jackson, Monta Ellis, Jason Richardson, Dunleavy Jr., Petrus, Matt Barnes, Biedrins......

In fact, it is unlikely that they will only play an eighth record in the West with this lineup......

also deserves the bad luck of the calf to encounter such a gang of ruthless stubble.

Now the old Nelson definitely doesn't have so many strong players on hand, at least the bearded and Monta Ellis are not under his account.

Anyway, Richard thinks that if Nelson Sr. wants to kill the Mavericks in the first round, it is basically unlikely.

Of course, it is not excluded that the old Nelson has a genius stroke, which is really a black eight calf.

Under normal circumstances, the Rockets actually entered the playoffs this season, although they were eliminated by the Jazz in the first round, but they also played a tie-break with the Jazz.

The jazz of the Shuangsha era has withdrawn from the stage of history, and now Sloan has created a jazz iron triangle.

De Xiaopang, Boozer and Kirilenko ......

Under normal circumstances, Oku also belongs to this Jazz team, and the Rockets' loss to the Jazz is not too surprising.

……

And now that the Rockets don't have the Yao Mai combination, they didn't even make the playoffs this season, but the Clippers led by Stevens Jr. made the playoffs.

It can also be seen from this that Stevens' ability is not easy for such a young head coach to bring the Clippers, a rotten ship with a few nails left, to the playoffs.

The competition in the west is fierce.

And the competition in the east is a little bit less interesting......

Pirates, Pistons, Cavaliers, Raptors, Heat, Green Kai, Nets, and Magic.

The Nets had a good record before the All-Star break, but after All-Star Weekend, their record slipped from the top half to the bottom half.

The two teams of the Cavaliers and the Raptors are undoubtedly a big surprise, they actually made it to the top half of the region this season, squeezing out the defending champion Heat and the old powerhouse Nets, and performed well.

It's just good, not too impressive, mainly because the number of wins of these two teams is actually about the same as that of the next few teams......

The eastern side can be said to be a situation of two superpowers and many weak chickens.

The two supernatural are the Pirates and Pistons, both of whom have an impressive record of more than 60 wins this season.

As for the next six playoff teams, it is not too much to describe them as weak chickens.

Because the knights with the best record actually only have an embarrassing 49 wins......

You must know that the Cavaliers are third in the East, with only 49 wins, which is almost the sixth Nuggets in the West.

As for the Magic, who are eighth in the East, they only have 40 wins, which is less than a 50% win rate.

It can be said that except for the Pirates and Pistons on the Eastern side, the other teams are weak chickens.

On April 17, the first round of the Buccaneers' preseason season began.

The opponent is none other than the Orlando Magic, who have a win rate of less than 50%.

The Magic's lineup this season is okay, mainly because Grant Hill has maintained good health this season.

Although the current Hill is no longer as brave as he used to be, he can still cut down the score of about 15 points.

G1 is played on the home of the Buccaneers.

In fact, there was no suspense in this game at all, and the Pirates won quite easily, that is, Howard the Monster caused some trouble for the Pirates' interior line.

However, Richard used a defensive strategy to cut off Howard's receiving lane, and the trouble level of Warcraft was reduced a lot.

Howard should be considered a player in the category of super centers, but his super center needs the pass of his teammates more than other super centers, and once the receiving route is choked, the only thing he can do is grab the board and play a second offense.

That's why Howard rarely has a scoring explosion, averaging just over 20 points per game in just four seasons in his entire career, and just over 20 points per game in his career-high season.

In tonight's game, although Valejo can't defend against the monster alone, Vallejo has done a good job in cutting off the passing route.

In the final first game, the Monster scored 18 points, 17 rebounds and 3 blocks.

That's a pretty good statistic, but it's not enough to lead a team to win against a strong pirate.

Unless the Magic have a top outside attacker like Kobe or Maddy, their fate in the first round of this preseason is already sealed.

Hill struggled to play this game with Iguodala's DPOY-level defense, which was in his final year with the Magic......

After this season, Hill's contract with the Magic expires, and he will have to find another home at that time.

So at this moment, he didn't dare to work too hard, in case he was injured again, it would be completely over, and which top iron team would dare to sign him.

As a result, Iguodala was limited to only 2-of-10 shooting in the whole game, and finally counted free throws, and only scored a measly five points.

Turkoglou's performance tonight was more outstanding, with 17 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, if he hadn't played well, I'm afraid the Magic team would have been pressed to the ground by the Buccaneers.

After the game, Howard looked stunned, it was not terrible to lose, it was terrible to be beaten like this, and the Magic could not see the slightest hope of winning in the whole game.

Richard looked at the expression of the monster and laughed.

Speaking of which, in fact, Warcraft is also a player that Richard admires more, of course, the appreciation here refers to his strength on the field, not his improper style of eating both men and women off the field......

Richard hadn't gotten that hard yet.

At the moment, the Pirates really lack a traditional inside player like Warcraft, and if they can get Warcraft, Richard is confident that they will maintain a winning streak in the next few years.

But the Magic side will definitely not let go, even if Richard comes up with something better, the Magic will definitely not let Howard go.

This team has an inexplicable thirst for a center, and it may be because O'Neal's departure hurt them too much, so they must choose big men first in the draft, as long as they have the opportunity.

……

The next few games, basically the same as the first game, the Magic were completely pressed to the ground and rubbed.

After four games, the Buccaneers got their ticket to the Eastern Conference semifinals directly on the Magic's home court.

Although Magic fans know that the home team is not the opponent of the Pirates, after all, the two sides have 64 wins and the other has only 40 wins, and the gap is really too big.

But seeing the home team being beaten like this, they were still extremely disappointed.

When the young demonic beast suffered such a blow, he was also frowning and a little dazed.

The young people of the Pirate team, although they got the tickets to the Eastern Conference semifinals, did not see much joy on their faces.

may also be because of his high vision and spirit, and he doesn't pay much attention to the small Eastern Conference semifinals honor.

Next, the Buccaneers will face the Toronto Raptors on their home court.

When it comes to the Raptors, Richard thinks of the Timberwolves......

The two teams don't have much to do with each other, but Toronto used to have a team called the Huskies, which is exactly the same nickname as the Timberwolves.

The Toronto Huskies are a team from ancient times, when the NBA was not established, and this team is under the umbrella of BAA, which is the predecessor of the NBA.

This team is quite legendary, and it can even be said that he is the most bizarre team in the entire history of the NBA.

The history of the NBA dates back to 1946, the year the Huskies and ten other teams formed the BAA......

The first game of the BAA or NBA was the New York Knicks against the Huskies, and the Huskies lost, becoming the first team in NBA history to lose.

The Huskies are two, and this team is even more two, and the team executives have come up with the bad idea that spectators who are taller than one of their 203-tall players will be able to enter for free.

This is completely fooling people, ordinary people who can have a height of 203, as a result, the fans are quite dissatisfied, and they refuse to enter to watch the game.

And then......

And then there is no more......

The Huskies couldn't do it for the second year, and announced their disbandment.

This is probably the most embarrassing and short-lived team in the entire history of the NBA, and after only one season of operation, it was directly cold.

From this point of view, the Timberwolves are actually quite good, and it is a bit insulting to be called a Husky team.

After a lapse of 50 years, the NBA has re-established the Raptors team in Toronto, which can be regarded as allowing Toronto fans to have their home team again.
