Chapter 173: The best season so far

"I think the Fortunes are the best team to combine superstar individual defense with joint defense!"

"Indeed, I think the Fortune Players have done a great job of this! This kind of varied defensive style is something that many teams can't control at the same time. ”

"The Fortune Players defense could be the most important part of helping them win the championship."

As the season wore on, the Fortune Players showed their versatile defensive tactics.

Coach Garcia has made people see that he is also very good at playing defense.

The Fortune Players are now completely at the top of the league defensively, and against teams with superstars, the Fortune Players can defend with excellent individual defense from the likes of Meng Xiaohao and Derek.

On the contrary, when encountering that kind of team-type team, they can use joint defense to prevent the opponent in a targeted manner.

The current Fortune Team is really terrifying, they have an inexplicable offensive system, as well as excellent defensive tactics, looking at the entire league, they can be on an equal footing with them, and the Revolutionaries, Star Team and Snow Mountain Team are the team.

Needless to say, the Stars and Revolutionaries are old and strong teams, teams with heritage.

And the newly rising Snow Mountain team is even more terrifying than the Star team and the Revolutionary team.

With super-center Sarid and a super-small forward inside and out, plus a slew of great role players and outside pitchers, it's not for nothing that this team can play at No. 1 in the league.

If you want to talk about who can only win the championship this season, the Snow Mountain team, is definitely the most likely.

The record is the first in the league, and they have double-killed the star team, and even the Fortune team does not have much advantage against them.

"The landscape of the league era is about to change...... "ESPN commentators commented.

……

As time went on, the regular season of the 2022-2023 season came to an end......

The Utah Snow Mountains are ranked first in the league in terms of record, while the New York Fortune Players are second in the league and first in the East.

The regular season MVP award fell to Brooke, who averaged a triple-double of 26.3 points, 10.1 rebounds and 12 assists per game, helping Brooke win the regular season MVP.

And Meng Xiaohao is more sad in terms of individual awards, because Brooke won the regular season MVP, so he is still one of the guards who dominate the best team, and the other guard position is occupied by Tom, and he can only be reduced to the second team of the best team.

The same goes for Lucas, who has good stats this season, but the team's record is a bit underwhelming.

In the face of the reporter's interview, Meng Xiaohao was very indifferent

"I don't think it's a big impact on me if it's a first or second team, and I'm not going for that personal honor, the success of the team is what I want."

"I think we have been very successful this season, the team has won the first place in the East, which is very rare, you must know that the competition in the East is very fierce, like Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, they are all capable of winning the first place in the East, I think we won the first place in the East, I am very lucky."

And this year's best rookie was won by Li Mulin.

Li Mulin won the honor of best rookie with his excellent statistics of 16.8 points per game, and the Oakland Saints also entered the playoffs, although they are seventh in the West, but they are still very good.

Li Mulin felt that he was very happy to win this award, and thought it was a proof of his strength.

When facing reporters for an interview, he even gave Meng Xiaohao another challenge, ah no, it's a request, I want him to win the championship.

"Li Mulin, this guy is really terrifying!" Derek couldn't help but smile when he saw the news.

Although Meng Xiaohao blocked Li Mulin and news related to him, Derek did not block it, and Derek saw Li Mulin's request.

"Seriously, Xiaohao!" Middleton on the side also learned about it, "If Li Mulin is a girl, you just wait to be stalked by him!" ”

Meng Xiaohao smiled bitterly twice, every time Li Mulin challenged him, he felt like he had been tricked by a fool.

"Brothers, okay, don't mention him, I have a pain in my head when I mention him."

Seeing the pain on Meng Xiaohao's face, everyone smiled, they knew that Meng Xiaohao really had a headache about Li Mulin.

……

Now that the regular season has come to an end, it means that the more terrible playoffs are coming......

This year's playoffs are very interesting, the Boston Revolutionaries have been breaking the first place in the East for six consecutive years, and now let's see who the Eastern champion of the playoffs for six consecutive years is.

There was also a war of words among ESPN commentators over the matter.

"The Boston Revolutionaries are a bit of a hanger this year! The Fortune Team and the Warden Team are menacing, and it feels like his position is not guaranteed! ”

"But this is not necessarily, the Boston Revolutionaries are also an old powerhouse, although they are not as strong as last season, but the heritage of the old powerhouses is still there, and I think the revolutionaries still have the possibility to win the Eastern Conference."

"Then let's make a bet and see who makes it to the finals!"

"Bet on it, bet on it, whoever is afraid of whom, I am optimistic about the revolutionaries!"

"I'm bullish on the Fortune Players and I'm sure they'll make it to the Finals!"

The war of words between the two commentators began......

Of course, this is just a vignette between two commentators, and people will only see it as a joke.

The playoffs have begun, and the Fortune Players will face the Atlanta Twins in eighth place in the East in the first series.

Facing the twins who lacked soldiers and major generals, the Fortune team didn't have much effort at all, and with the excellent performance of Meng Xiaohao and Derek in four consecutive games, they took away the entire series 4-0.

And Li Mulin's Oakland Saints team met the Los Angeles Stars in the first round of the series.

The result didn't have to think much about it at all, and when I woke up, it was still a victory for the star team.

Although the strength of the Stars has declined a bit compared to last season, there are still many ways to win against a young team like the Saints.

Eliminated the opponent 4-0, and the Saints team did not have any power to fight back.

The Fortune Makers' opponent in the second round series is the Windy City of Chicago, which is ranked fifth in the East.

The Windy City Chicago met the fourth-placed Washington Royals in the first round.

Originally, many people were optimistic about the victory of the Royals, but in the first game, Lucas was injured, which led to the subsequent games not playing, and the Royals, who lacked the core, considered themselves not to be the opponents of the Windy City team, 4-2, and were eliminated.

Facing the Windy City team, the Fortune team also played relatively easily.

Although they were won twice at home in Chicago, the Fortune Players eliminated their opponents 4-2.

……

Knocking out the Windy City, the Fortune Players are once again in the Eastern Conference Finals, where they lost last season.

The lads of the Fortune Team want to complete their revenge here.

The opponent they met was also what they could predict, the old powerhouse that eliminated them last season and dominated the East for six years......

Boston Revolutionaries ......
