Chapter 68: The Playoffs Begin
Although Murraysan has made bad free throws now, he has made very few free throws in the game, and now he averages less than two free throws per game, and the five percent free throw shooting rate is really limited.
As for that bit of mid-pitch ability, if Murraysan's mid-pitch attribute is now more than 90 points, then it is estimated that there will be a lot of improvement in increasing this point.
But now Muresan's mid-pitch attribute is very low, and the reason why he can shoot so many mid-pitch shots in the game is actually the effect of the complete mid-pitch skill package.
Therefore, this point is not of much value.
Of course, that doesn't mean the ring isn't worth much.
If the ring were to be used by a player like Jordan, the effect would be terrifying.
A lot of free throws, coupled with a high initial mid-range shooting attribute, can definitely maximize the value of this ring.
……
Davidson got a ring that doesn't work at the moment.
In the real world, the playoffs are also gradually approaching.
The Nets now hold the third-place record in the East, and as long as they don't have the kind of player reimbursement that they did before, they will definitely be able to maintain that record and make the playoffs.
Nets fans are thrilled because the Nets have never played in the top three in the East since they moved to New Jersey......
On April 15, the Nets played the final game of their 93-94 regular season.
With a 55-27 record, he is second only to the Hawks' 59 wins and the Knicks' 57 wins in the East.
The top four teams in the East are the Hawks, Knicks, Nets and Bulls.
The Bulls can really be said to be a skinny camel bigger than a horse, and even if Jordan leaves, they still play fourth in the East.
Interestingly, if the Nets make it to the second round of the playoffs this year, they will face the Knicks.
It's not a problem for these two teams to be called feuds.
If it weren't for the Knicks, the Nets would probably still be making a lot of money in New York......
And Daddy and Pat Riley have had conflicts before.
This series is sure to be quite exciting.
Davidson had a feeling of a dream, and his first season in the industry was over?!
The playoffs are on, and Davidson gets a job with his dad.
A rookie who represents the team on a tryout for the draft.
Starting in April, the rookies have signed up for the draft, and teams are able to start tryouts on these players.
For those teams that didn't make the playoffs, this kind of trial work is naturally handled by the head coach.
As for the Nets, which have made the playoffs, the head coach naturally has no time to try out the newcomers, so they have to lead the team to play in the playoffs.
The job of trying out newcomers is quite important, and this is also an opportunity for Davidson to exercise.
Davidson was glad to accept it, and he wanted to try out Jalen Rose to see how the player was.
The only thing that makes Davidson regret is that he will definitely not be able to watch the next Nets away game.
On April 17, the Nets' game against the Cavaliers officially began.
No one expected that the old enemies in the first round of the playoffs last season would meet again this season.
Last season, the Cavaliers were third in the East and the Nets were sixth in the East.
This season is the opposite......
Last season, Daddy lacked a major general, and with a sixth place in the East, he almost pulled down the Cavaliers who were third in the East.
Now that this series has begun, no one is optimistic that the Cavaliers will be able to get on the line.
Sure enough, in the first two Nets home courts, the Nets won the Cavaliers neatly, and then defeated the Cavaliers with a score of 101:87 on the Cavaliers' home court, easily swept in the first round and completed the promotion.
The Knicks, who are second in the East, played against the Magic team, although they failed to sweep the Magic, but the big score of 3:1 can be regarded as a lesson for the young O'Neal.
O'Neal plus penny Hardaway's lineup is really a little too immature, Hardaway is a first-year rookie, O'Neal is a second-year, these two can play like this with the Knicks, in fact, it is quite difficult.
The Nets and Knicks advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals.
The Hawks played extremely difficult, facing the Heat, who were eighth in the East, they were almost blackened by the Heat, but in the end they still won a move and eliminated the Heat with a score of 3:2.
As for the Bulls, who are fourth in the East, they are extremely miserable, and they were swept 3:0 by the Pacers in fifth......
Reggie Miller really played superbly, averaging 29 points per game with a 55% shooting rate, beating the Bulls to the ground, and the current Bulls big man Pippen almost didn't spray the Bulls fans to death.
Who would have thought that Jordan had just been gone for a year, and as a result, the Bulls couldn't even make it past the first round of the playoffs.
In the first round of ten days, Davidson also sent trial notices to some newcomers, and also tried out several newcomers.
What made Davidson more troublesome was that Jalen Rose politely declined the Nets' invitation to tryout.
The reason given was that the trial schedule was too full to spare time......
Davidson naturally knew that this was all a pretext.
At the end of the day, Jalen Rose didn't think he would fall to the 21st pick in the first round......
He didn't want to waste time with the Nets.
In the face of Jalen Rose's rejection, Davidson was not annoyed, and if he were himself, he would probably make the same choice.
Surely his draft pick will not be lower than the fifteenth pick, so can he waste time running to a small place like New Jersey?
If the Nets hold the No. 1 pick, it must be another matter, and it is estimated that Jalen Rose will rush over overnight.
……
In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Nets played against the Knicks, and the Knicks kept all of their first two home courts.
However, all of them were narrow wins, and Ewing was not in good form in these two games, although he still scored a lot, but the shooting rate was only 41%.
The reason why the shooting percentage is so low is that Muresan has a strong defense, and on the other hand, Ewing is not stable on the offensive end.
Especially in the playoffs, Ewing plays good and bad, when it is good, it is really a god who kills God, and when it is bad, it will directly lead the team to destruction.
This is also the reason why the first thing Nelson Sr. did after coaching the Knicks was to trade O'Neal with Ewing.
Muresan did quite perfectly on the defensive end of these two games, and if it weren't for his restrictions on Ewing, the Knicks might not have won by a narrow margin, but by a big margin.
Then came to the Nets' two home courts, and Davidson finally found an opportunity to go to the scene to watch the game.
To the surprise of Nets fans, the Nets also kept their home courts.
Ewing still continued to play sluggishly, averaging an average shooting rate of more than 40 in four games, although he averaged 24 points per game, but this sluggish shooting rate, in fact, the higher the score, the more the team suffered......
Not only is the offensive end sluggish, Ewing is currently averaging only 9 rebounds per game, which is really unreasonable.
