Chapter 419: Playoff Matchup Table (Tears Turned into Lovesick Rain Plus Change)
Since the lucky attribute has not been improved, Richard can only sigh, quite helpless.
……
In the blink of an eye, the Trail Blazers' regular season schedule has been completed.
This season, the Trail Blazers retained the top spot in the Western Conference and the top of the league's record list.
With a 66-16 record, the number 666 is quite a good prize.
It's fair to say that this season has been another pretty successful one for the Trail Blazers......
It's certainly not as perfect as the all-win season, but this season has also broken the Trail Blazers' all-time winning record.
The team led by Richard himself has a team record of 65 wins.
The fans must be quite satisfied with this, but at the moment, the fans of the Trailblazers have been raised......
With a mere 66-win record in the regular season, they don't care at all!
What they really care about is whether the Trail Blazers can defend their title this year and whether they can complete the dynasty of three consecutive championships!
At least now they are quite confident that the Pioneers can build a dynasty!
Because the pioneers really have the demeanor of an invincible division at the moment.
In the entire Trail Blazers, the most eye-catching thing at the moment is not the Auburn combination, but the "inspirational type" Ricky Davis!
During this time, Richard still used Ricky Davis, and as a result, this guy's data was quite dazzling, averaging about 25 points per game.
You must know that Maddie has only about 25 points at the moment, but he can enter the Eastern All-Star starter!
If Ricky Davis can continue this performance, maybe he can get an All-Star starter next season!
But is it possible?!
Totally impossible!
If Ricky Davis can average more than double digits in points per game next season, Richard would rather live and eat Xiang!
Now Richard actually has the idea of praising Ricky Davis.
The higher you hold it, the harder you fall!
By the time he gets to the next season, he's a shit-like player, and I'm afraid the fans will be sick and want to vomit.
The deeper the love, the more ruthless the hate, and when the time comes, maybe the fans will be able to hack Ricky Davis.
……
In the next playoffs, Richard is ready to use Ricky Davis.
Of course, the finals must not be reused......
If this product wins the Finals MVP, then Richard will have no place to cry when he cries.
The MVP of this year's finals, Richard has been decided!
Xiao Ao ......
……
With the regular season coming to an end, the playoff fixtures are also hotly released.
The top eight teams in the West are the Trail Blazers, Spurs, Lakers, Kings, Jazz, Mavericks, Suns and Timberwolves.
The Kings were able to break into the top half of the West, which was actually quite unexpected.
Adelman, who had been unlucky with the Warriors, has finally proven himself now after arriving at the Kings.
If you want to talk about how good the Kings' lineup is, it is not that, at least in the playoff teams on the Western side, any team may have a better lineup than the Kings lineup.
However, their line-up is a little more reasonable, and Adelman's civilian tactics have led to their record improving by leaps and bounds.
……
The old Western powerhouses of previous years, the SuperSonics and the Rockets, are now completely degenerate, and they can't even enter the Western Conference playoffs.
This is also a fairly normal thing, no team can be strong all the time, even giants like Green Kai and the Lakers, there are often situations where they can't make the playoffs.
The Trail Blazers faced the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round, and it was certainly no big problem, and it is estimated that they would solve the opponent fairly easily.
As for the second round of the playoffs, the opponent will be either the Kings or the Jazz.
The odds of these two teams winning against the Trail Blazers are also quite small, not much bigger than the lottery.
When it comes to the Western Conference finals, the opponent is an old opponent again, the Spurs or the Lakers!
In recent years, the Trail Blazers' opponent in the Western Conference Finals has been one of these two teams!
Richard must still be quite expecting the opponent to be the Spurs, because if you play the Spurs, you will win.
And if you play the Lakers, there will be some surprises......
Now I hope that Mr. Popovich can help him clear the obstacles and eliminate the Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals.
Of course, even if he really meets the Lakers, Richard is not afraid of the Lakers, although it may take a lot of effort, but he is sure that he will win.
……
The eight playoff teams in the West are an eye-opener for fans this time!
Because the top three teams in the East really have a great relationship with Richard......
The Philadelphia 76ers, Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls are three teams in the top three in the East!
You know, these three teams are all brother teams of the Trail Blazers!
All three teams have twin stars......
The Philadelphia 76ers are the Philadelphia twin stars of Iverson and Dazhi, Green Kai is the green Kai twin stars of Pierce and Billups, and the Bulls have the Bulls twin stars of Brand and Rashid!
Even the head coach of the 76ers and the Bulls had previously served as an assistant coach under Richard!
In the eyes of fans, the rise of these three teams is definitely not accidental, and it must be related to Richard!
The fans are actually right, there is really a relationship with Richard, but the relationship is not as big as they thought......
Richard only gave a little bit of guidance on how to build their squad.
For example, the 76ers strengthened the interior line, introduced Old Oak Oakley, and introduced Uncle Mu on the Green Kai side, which were all pointed out by Richard.
Even without Richard's guidance, these teams will not be bad if they have a little more time.
As for the old powerhouses in the East, such as the Pacers and the Heat, they are all declining at the moment.
76ers, Green Kai, Bulls, Bucks, Heat, Raptors, Magic, Pacers.
George Carr really has two brushes that have taken the Bucks to the top half of the East.
As for the Magic, relying on the excellent performances of Maddie and Mike Miller, they are now squeezed into the playoffs.
The Pacers, led by the Smiling Assassins, are now estimated to be completely unable to laugh.
Last season, it was the first place in the East, and this season it has become the last in the playoffs......
……
On April 20, the opening game of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs began, and the Timberwolves challenged the league's hegemon Portland Trail Blazers away!
The thought of playing the Trail Blazers gave Garnett a headache......
He had a fight with Artest before, and as a result, this guy who looked like he had mad cow disease seemed to be eyeing him.
All kinds of big elbows on the field greet themselves......
This made Garnett quite uncomfortable, he was not very afraid of Artest, mainly afraid of Richard.
Richard's madness is well known......
He can fight Artest, relying on his height and arm span advantage, as well as the advantage of guerrilla tactics, he will definitely be able to fight Artest's blue nose and swollen face......
But then what?!
Richard was furious, and no one knew what he would do.
Will you directly use the strength of the whole team to abolish yourself in a fit of anger?!
It's unlikely, but who knows, if Richard's madman really did it!
So this makes Garnett a little constrained, and it is estimated that eighty percent of his strength will be exerted.
Szebiak and Barry Jr. are certainly not troubled by this.
They've played pretty well in this series......
Both are averaging around fifteen points per game.
As for Garnett, his average of 19 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists per game is similar to his normal statistics.
Under normal circumstances, in the first round of this Western Conference playoffs, the Timberwolves are actually facing off against the Spurs.
A direct conversation between Garnett and Duncan!
As a result, Garnett didn't lose much to Duncan in terms of statistics, but the team's record was more miserable, and he was eliminated by Deng Dudu with a score of 3:1 in the first round.
……
It should be easy for fans to find out that among the three major strikers in history, Garnett is actually the most unpopular one.
There is no doubt that Duncan has the best reputation, followed by Nowitzki, but there are no black spots......
The only one is Garnett, who was hacked out.
The ultimate reason, on the one hand, is that Garnett's mouth is a little poisonous, and he greets other people's daughters-in-law and donuts every day, who can like it.
On the other hand, the reason is that this guy is in a direct conversation with Duncan, although the data of the two are almost the same, but Garnett has always won more and loses!
The pair have played a total of 52 games, with Garnett winning just 19 of them, while Duncan won 33 of them......
In the playoffs, Deng won six of the eight games.
The gap is a bit too big!
If the two are not of the same era, it can still excuse the wolf king, but now these two are almost players of the same era, and the difference in winning rate is so much, it is really a little unreasonable.
In fact, it is not only compared to Duncan, Garnett is also a disadvantage in terms of wins compared to Nowitzki.
The pair have played 40 games, with the veteran winning 23 and Garnett just 17.
The playoffs were even worse, with a total of three encounters, and the Wolves were swept by Nowitzki......
Both are big forwards of the same generation, and Garnett has always been a disadvantage in direct conversations with the other two.
It's still Garnett who runs to the east, otherwise his situation will be even worse.
It's no wonder that so many fans are the Black Wolf King......
……
With a crisp 3-0 sweep, the Trail Blazers steadily advanced to the Western Conference semifinals.
The Timberwolves will definitely not be an opponent for the Trail Blazers, and there is a ninety percent chance of being swept up, which is something that three-year-old doll fans know.
Even if the Timberwolves can get only one win in the hands of the Trail Blazers, it is estimated that it will be enough for Timberwolves fans to blow for half a year.
……
After simply sweeping the Timberwolves, the Spurs and Lakers also completed the sweep.
The only game in the West that didn't advance was the game between the Kings and the Jazz.
However, the Kings are currently playing a 2-1 advantage, and there is still a chance to eliminate the Jazz and meet the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference semifinals.
