Chapter 344, the playoffs to
Many All-Star players are currently in no state, and the Mavericks took advantage of the situation to win the Hawks and the Magic, and at this time, the Mavericks signed Brewer, who had just been cut by the Knicks, a player who averaged 9.1 points and 3.3 rebounds per game, and the Knicks had Anthony more atmospheric!
At this time, the Heat also completed the final reinforcement of the season and signed free agent Mike Bibby! A veteran who has been in the league for 13 years, can average 15.7 points and 5.7 rebounds per game, although the first half of the season due to injuries the data fell to an average of 9.8 points and 4.8 assists per game, but the shooting rate only dropped by one percent, still remaining at 42.8%, it can be said that the Heat signed a big advantage, although they did not announce the contract details, but it will definitely not be a high salary, the top day is a high number of years, at least 2-3 years.
The Mavericks' final two games in February will be against the 76ers and the Grizzlies, respectively! The Mavericks won it easily almost effortlessly, and many players who have not been able to enter the playoffs have begun to exercise newcomers in March, and the teams that have the opportunity to enter the playoffs are fighting, so this stage can be said to be the most ferocious time, from the beginning of March to the end of March, the league's average number of fouls per game has increased by 20 percent, malicious fouls have increased by 5 percent, and technical fouls have also reached 10 percent.
Although the Mavericks want to maintain their lead and gain an advantage in the playoffs, facing a slightly weaker team in the first round, Carlisle also has to be cautious in the face of such fierce competition, and chooses to let go when competing against some hard-working teams.
His approach gave Huang Yu a headache, because Carlisle shortened the playing time of Nowitzki, him and Kidd, so Huang Yu had to ensure his scoring in a limited time, so as not to be overtaken by Durant.
As the time approaches April, there are only a few teams left who are still desperate, in the West Hornets, Rockets, Grizzlies and Suns four teams are fighting for the final spot, the Hornets and Rockets have alternately risen, and the Grizzlies and the Suns are also staring at the two teams, the Grizzlies want to get the playoffs Although there is still 1.5 wins away from the Hornets and the Rockets, but the current performance of the two teams is very unstable, as long as there is a slightest mistake, one of them will be slapped out of the top eight by the Grizzlies, and the Suns are also staring at them.
Whether it's the Rockets or the Hornets, as long as one of them is thrown out of the top eight, the Suns will take the opportunity to beat the Reservoir Dogs so that he has a chance to go further, so their current task is to just bite the Grizzlies to prevent falling behind, and strive to complete the comeback in the final moments.
The four teams in the 7-10 position in the West are sad and joyful, first of all, the Hornets made mistakes, and the Rockets won in one breath, directly making the Grizzlies and the Suns lose a goal, at this time, although the Suns made three consecutive wins, but at this time the Rockets made a big mistake in the mid-term trade appeared, Battier helped the Grizzlies to win a streak with one person's strength, and the Hornets threw off the Rockets directly to exceed, and did not follow the default in stability, so that the Rockets desperately fell out of the top eight and lost the qualification to participate in the playoffs.
And the Suns are also very unlucky, when they were waiting to step on the Rockets corpse to counterattack the Grizzlies, they played two games with the Spurs in 3 games, although they had both home and away, but the Spurs in order to compete for a good position to meet the first round of the playoffs, with rich experience almost according to the Sun in the underground friction, and finally succeeded in winning the first place in the West.
------------
After the end of the last game of the regular season, the Mavericks, who had been brave this season, moved to the fifth place in the third league in the West, although the record is the same as that of the Lakers, but who made the number of games different, so they can only be one behind.
And the Eastern Bulls can be said to have a very stable record to maintain the lead, and have achieved the first record in the league, of course, if it is not for the Spurs to be a great threat, so that the Bulls will be slaughtered by weak teams in the last few games, and the first in the league is estimated to be the Spurs!
The Heat won the third place in the Eastern Conference with the crazy streak after the big three ran in the middle of the season, which made the Heat very satisfied, after all, the regular season ranking does not prove anything, otherwise there would be no Black Eight miracle.
In fact, when the Mavericks were first in the league and first in the West, Huang Yu also thought about it, this year was originally the first Spurs and then the Grizzlies completed the black eight, if the Mavericks were the first in the West, would this black eight miracle appear, but I don't know if the Spurs deserve to be blacked eight, Carlisle in order to keep the team healthy, selectively released water, although the record is crazy all the way, but Nowitzki and other veterans are very full of antibodies.
Huang Yu looked at the veteran of the Spurs all the way to the first place in the west, and was suddenly dumbfounded, this is in a hurry to be blackened!
Just after the last game of the regular season on April 15, the media began to be lively, because Huang Yu has locked up the scoring title, with an average of 29.3 points per game and 27.7 points ahead of Durant to become the league's scoring champion, and in the regular season MVP selection Huang Yu is also on par with Rose, Huang Yu averaged 29.3 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.6 steals per game, completely crushing 25.5 points, 7.7 assists, 4.1 rebounds, 0.6 blocks and 1.0 steals in statistics.
However, Huang Yu's media votes were not very high, so it made it difficult for the league in the final selection, but Stern waved his hand, and after the first round of the playoffs for all the awards, he took out the means of the school flower in a few years, and the school flower was also difficult in the MVP selection a few years later, so the selection was postponed! However, it has been overwhelming, and the finals are not announced until they are over.
Then within two years, the school flower proposed to cancel the media ticket, I have to say that if the public relations are good, it can directly affect the MVP selection, but I can't see if this proposal can pass Huang Yu, after all, the news just came out when he came.
The regular season has almost just ended, and the bracket for the first round of the playoffs has been announced by the league.
The Bulls led by Ross in the East will face the Indiana Pacers with a 62-20 record of 37-45, and the team with only 37 wins in the East has attracted a lot of media attention, no way! Who kept the 43-39 Rockets in the West from making the playoffs? The media once again sang the argument that the east is weak and the west is strong, which also made the president firm that the western superstar plans to travel to the east, but the superstar is choking enough, after all, as long as there is no trouble with the team, the team management will release people if they are stupid, and the supergiant will not easily abandon his roots and choose to go to an unknown new city.
In the second half of the Heat, the Heat faced Philadelphia 41-41 76ers with a record of 58 wins and 24 losses, to be honest, the 76ers' record is not something that the average team can play, and this year's good Celtics will be 56-26 at home against the New York Knicks composed of melons and Xiaosi, this season's Knicks' record is not bad has been in the top eight, after Xiao Si and Anthony joined, the combat effectiveness instantly doubled, with 42 wins and 40 losses to sixth, although only a little ahead of the 76ers, which also makes the Knicks very happy, After all, the playoffs are worth looking forward to, aren't they?
And the Magic led by Warcraft faced the Hawks with a record of 52-30 against the 44-38 Eagles, the Hawks didn't have to say, this team has never said, after all, it is tepid, not up and down, and the magic where Warcraft is located is in danger of collapse, the rift between Warcraft and the head coach and management is getting bigger and bigger, almost everything the coach says is the left ear in the right ear and out, and the appearance of a pair of illegitimate children also gives Howard a headache, and it is difficult to ensure his state, so many media are not optimistic about Magic, There are even those who think that the magic can't pass the first round!
Although this view has been laughed at by many people, how can the Magic not win the first round, after all, this team almost won the championship in the 08-09 season, even if it played the East Final last season, how could it be possible not to beat the first round!
But Huang Yu sighed in his heart when he saw this comment, and let the system scan this person who fought out of position, and was relieved to see that he didn't have a trace of life experience, Huang Yu was really afraid of a traverser!
The San Antonio Spurs, ranked first in the West, with a 61-21 record, faced the eighth-ranked Grizzlies with a 46-36 record.
The defending champion Los Angeles Lakers are 57-25 against the 46-36 New Orleans Hornets, if the Lakers win the championship this year, then they will complete another dynasty, Kobe's prestige will reach its peak, but in terms of the Lakers' record, the Lakers have hope, but if the fans who have not fallen in a Lakers game this season are not sure that the Lakers can win the championship, although the Lakers have lost less, but it does not mean that they are strong, this season the Lakers have almost won all the weak teams, but some hard bones are hard to gnaw to death, If it weren't for Kobe Bryant's outbreak, plus the Mavericks' selective release of water, the Lakers would not have been able to climb to the second place in the West.
In third place is Huang Yu's Dallas Mavericks, due to the selective release of water, the Mavericks only have a 57-25 record, they will face the Portland Trail Blazers led by McMillan, this season the Trail Blazers are in sixth place with a 48-34 record, such a record McMillan has contributed to their Oden the Great should once again be reimbursed for the injury season, and Roy is also constantly injured, although he can play in the playoffs, but no one knows how long his injury-stricken knee can last.
The Denver Nuggets, who sent away the team's signature, still had a good record in the second half, with a 50-32 record, and coach George Karl contributed a lot, but without melons, many media thought they would have a tough first round because they would face the Oklahoma City Thunder, the young guard team with a 55-27 record this season, and many celebrities are optimistic about this team and think they are a powerful spoiler.
Yes, the title they give is spoiler, they think that although the Thunder have been regular visitors to the playoffs in recent years, they have too little experience, although the Nuggets have lost melons, but George Karl is experienced, and most of the team's players are also experienced veterans, in the face of this rampaging young guard, if the Thunder win it will be exhausting!
In the face of the experienced Spurs, Huang Yu was stunned when he read this comment, he couldn't blame these veterans, although the black eight did not appear, but none of them would have thought that the experienced Spurs would be given the black eight by the Grizzlies!
-----------
The Mavericks' playoff squad is out, in fact, it is already obvious, Caron Butler did not enter the squad because of injury, and Boubova also missed the first round due to injury, as for Dominic Jones, he is a pure rookie, averaging 7.5 minutes per game in 18 games this season, but only 2.3 points and 1.1 assists, even if Kidd Shannon, a pseudo-point guard, is better than him.
April 17 is the first day of the first round of the playoffs, and there will be four games today, namely the Heat vs. the 76ers, the Magic vs. the Hawks, the Bulls vs. the Pacers, and the Mavericks vs. the Trail Blazers!
There is only one of the three games in the east and one in the west, in fact, if it weren't for the president's action for the MVP selection, the west would not have arranged a game at all on the 17th.
The Mavericks' attendance has been very stable, and the home fans have been filling up one after another soon after the opening game, although there are still some empty seats, but they are only a few slots!
Facing the wounded Trailblazers, the Mavericks showed unparalleled offensive ability at the beginning, Huang Yu played the No. 2 position, and the opening offense revolved around him, so Huang Yu was polite at all, and the first three-point shot was easy, opening the Yellow Rain with double attributes, Wesley Matthews couldn't compete at all, and he could easily get rid of him, don't look at Huang Yu's center of gravity is higher than him.
And the elder Kidd also came out of the game, facing the United States Mok Wenwei (Andre Miller) in the third minute is a three-pointer, and then banished the Trail Blazers' offensive back with a wonderful pass to Huang Yu three-point shot, the Mavericks' first five shots had three assists from Kidd, and they led 12-7, and the Mavericks' lead was maintained until Carlisle replaced Huang Yu and Nowitzki.
The Trail Blazers took advantage of the Mavericks' bench to play a wave of 8-0 to tie the score, but Kidd, who had not yet come off the court, scored another three-pointer, but this did not help the Mavericks lead for long, and the Trail Blazers played a wave of 7-0 to successfully overtake, and the Mavericks fell behind by one point at 27-28 in the first quarter.
Shortly after the start of the second quarter, Huang Yu was sent on the court by Carlisle, and hit two consecutive three-point shots in less than a minute, and the Mavericks opened up the gap, but the Trail Blazers seized the weakness of the Mavericks' interior starting bench strength and chased the score to 39-40 after the halfway point of the quarter, but this could not shake Carlisle's tactics, as long as Huang Yu kept the Mavericks leading on the court, Chandler could get enough rest, and replacing Huang Yu early in the first quarter was also for this.
The underdog outside shooting rate is too low, can only rely on the continuous impact of the interior Aldridge, but the effect is not good, after Chandler came on the court in the last five minutes of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers' only interior advantage is gone, in the last five minutes they only scored two goals, one is Aldridge's aerial relay dunk, the other is Camby's rebound, the Mavericks ended the quarter with a wave of 15-4, in one fell swoop to achieve a double-digit advantage of 54-44, Huang Yu and Kidd each hit three points in this wave of attacks.
