"I don't feel wrong, I definitely don't feel wrong, the current Cavaliers are a team that can compete with the Boston Celtics, Orlando Magic, and Los Angeles Lakers! The Cavaliers with me and Marvin Ayton are completely above Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol's Lakers! ”

James was excited, he didn't expect a regular season finale game with an unimportant outcome to make him so excited, he has been in the league for almost 6 years, and has fought against many strong teams, he knows very well what level his team's strength is now, the Cavaliers without Marvin Ayton are now the top three teams in the East, with Marvin Ayton, the Cavaliers will be super-first-class, there is no doubt about it!

"We're better than the Lakers! We're better than magic! We're better than the Boston Celtics! ”

James is becoming more aware of this, and if the Cavaliers can already beat these three teams, then why should the other teams be afraid?

Phil Jackson's expression today has also become different from before, he sat quietly in the dugout, did not speak, did not whistle, did not react to any changes on the court, and kept watching every attack and defense of the Cavaliers on the court with a serious expression.

The look on his face showed that the look of concern on his face was getting heavier, especially when Marvin Ayton scored.

"Oops, the Cavaliers are not the strongest team in the league now, LeBron James has always been underestimated, this is because the Eric Sun of the same class is too radiant, Sun's personal achievements are too great, resulting in the public repeatedly belittled LeBron who has not achieved personal honors, in fact, LeBron is not comparable to Sun in any other aspect except for shooting worse than Sun, especially in the overall situation and ball control, passing, stronger than Sun, and now, the appearance of Marvin Ayton has made up for LeBron James's shooting shortcomings, The Cavaliers have a new roster in terms of key shots, and LeBron plus Marvin Ayton is definitely bigger than Sun. ”

"Marvin Ayton is obviously an All-Star level player, but he missed so many games, and he is not interested in the All-Star Game, he deliberately chose to come back at this time, perhaps to test the strength of the strongest team in the West, only LeBron James's Cavaliers are already a strong team that can compete with the Magic for the first place in the East, plus the unfathomable Marvin Ayton...... Sun's Magic and the Big Three's Celtics are likely to lose badly in this year's playoffs. ”

The Zen master knows the strength of these teams in the east very well, and the Magic is only a team that relies on Sun Zhuo alone, and now James and Ayton can completely offset Sun Zhuo's super strength, and on the court, the threat of two superstars is definitely greater than the threat of only one superstar, so it seems that it is difficult for Magic to break through the Cavaliers.

Similarly, how can the Lakers, who lost to the Magic, be the opponent of the Cavaliers?

On the court, the Lakers just played a little better, and there was a tendency to chase the score, Marvin Ayton suddenly took the initiative to ask James for the ball, slowly dribbled through the half, and suddenly launched an attack, two meters away from the three-point line, and shot three points directly!

Swish!

"Cold-blooded!" Phil Jackson got up from his seat, the Lakers had a chance to tie the score and regain momentum and confidence, but Marvin Ayton shot another three-pointer at such a critical time! The confidence that the Lakers have built up so hard will collapse in an instant!

"This guy...... This old guy is too confident and knows how to destroy opponents at certain moments, the Cavaliers are dominated by LeBron most of the time, and Marvin Ayton looks like an ordinary role player, which is inconspicuous, but once the game enters certain key moments, this guy will step up and score, which is terrible. ”

The Zen master was thinking about it, when the assistant coach of the Lakers suddenly stepped forward and whispered in the Zen master's ear: "Judging from the offensive efficiency of Marvin Ayton, Marvin Ayton is the ...... of the Cavaliers."

"I know." The Zen master stretched out his hand, not letting the other party say it, but secretly said in his heart, "Perhaps, Marvin Ayton is the strongest player in the Cavaliers!" ”

This sentence, even if the Zen master himself said it in his heart, stirred up countless splashes, and felt extremely shocking, if you tell others, no one may believe it!

What level of player is LeBron James? The only two people in the league who can compete with Sun Zhuo for the MVP of the regular season can support a team by himself! In the absence of any All-Star teammates, a lone hero who can fight the Pinstons and the Big Three Celtics for seven games!

Even if you compare the current Kobe Bryant with James, you may not be able to say who is better.

However, Marvin Ayton gives people the impression that he is a stronger player than James!

This means that Marvin Ayton is at least one of the top five players in the league!

Two of the league's top five players combined, and everyone knows what that means!

"Let's hope we're wrong." The Zen master returned to his position, he didn't dare to fantasize anymore, Marvin Ayton's strength was too unfathomable, and his ideas were also unpredictable, and the outside world was rumored to be Sun Zhuo's teacher.

On the court, LeBron James held the ball for too long, and was finally trapped, with only three seconds left in the offensive time, he originally wanted to be strong himself, but suddenly remembered what Marvin Ayton said to him at the beginning of the game.

"You can give me the ball at any time, and I can help you with everything."

"Ayton ......"

James knew that Ayton was defended by someone at this time, but he still resolutely passed the ball to him, not others, James has always been a rational player, and whoever has vacant positions is assigned to whom, which shows his trust in Marvin Ayton.

The ball passed to Marvin Ayton, Ayton stood in front of Lamar Odom, the Zen master saw this, and thought: "The 24-second offensive time is coming soon, he must be shooting, Lamar Odom has a height advantage, Marvin Ayton doesn't want to score again!" ”

However, I didn't expect that the moment Marvin Ayton got the ball, a change of direction to the left would pass Odom in an instant!

"What? How can it be? Phil Jackson was stunned, Kobe Bryant was also stunned, Marvin Ayton is obviously an old player in his 30s, but the breakthrough just now feels as fast as lightning!

"How old is he?" Many even suspect that Marvin Ayton is hiding his age.

After passing Odom, even with only the last second left, Marvin Ayton did not directly choose to shoot, he knew that Odom would definitely jump up and block, and this foul would definitely be made, so he made a shooting feint.

Backbite!

It was only after the referee blew the whistle that Marvin Ayton projected the ball.

Swish!

2+1！

"It's horrible, this guy is horrible! In terms of shooting, he is really better than Sun, and he is more mature! "The Zen master's face is rarely sweaty, and Marvin Ayton gives people the feeling that it is even more terrifying than Sun Zhuo! Because Sun Zhuo's personality is more flamboyant, while Marvin Ayton is low-key and unprecedented, no one knows how much thoughts are hidden under that sickly face!

"Look up his shooting percentage this season." Phil Jackson gave the assistant coach an order.

After a while, the statistics were completed, and the assistant coach said: "With the data so far in this game, he is shooting 60 percent from two-point range and 45.4 percent from three-point range, including ...... from the bottom corner."

"What happened to the three-point shooting percentage in the bottom corner?" Seeing that the assistant coach's words paused, the Zen master glanced at him curiously.

"He didn't miss a shot in the bottom corner and he hit 100 percent." The assistant coach also said with a shock in his heart.

At this moment, the Cavaliers went on a fast break, James distributed the ball to Marvin Ayton in the bottom corner, and Ayton scored another three-pointer in the bottom corner!

If there are fans who have watched the Riders in their previous lives, when they see the current Cavaliers, they will feel that James and the Splash Brothers are playing together! Curry, Thompson, Durant, give James any one, the Cavaliers will win the championship, not to mention, the current Sun Zhuo is more powerful than the three at his peak.

The Lakers never thought that at the end of the regular season, the Cavaliers would play such a high-level game, the Zen master didn't want the Lakers players to spend too much energy and physical energy, after all, no matter how strong the Cavaliers were, they were not the opponents of their Lakers in the next month, and the headache was the Celtics and Magic, so the Lakers quickly lost, first in the West, and were beaten hard by the Cavaliers!

"We played so well today!" Seeing the Cavaliers finally end the game with a big score of 17 points, LeBron James was rarely excited this season.

And at this time, Phil Jackson, who has always been very gestured and never dealt with a junior like James and Mike Brown without any honor, actually took the initiative to walk to the Cavaliers bench, Phil Jackson is tall, although he has an amiable smile, but he is definitely not an easy person to approach, plus his own championship honor, before he came to their vicinity, they felt that the air froze.

"Mr. Mike Brown." Phil Jackson reached out to shake Mike Brown, who excitedly stretched out his hands and looked up at the Zen master, who said, "I'm sorry, the regular season is almost over, I can't have a good time with you, I hope to have a chance to meet in the finals." ”

Then, he smiled and said to James: "Congratulations, you can finally beat Sun this year." ”

Even Sun Zhuo's mentor Phil Jackson agrees with the current Cavaliers so much, James is even more excited, and he is extremely looking forward to the playoffs!

On April 15, 2009, the NBA regular season officially ended! The list of first-round matchups of the Eastern and Western playoffs has also been officially released!

West: No. 1 Lakers vs. Jazz, Trail Blazers vs. Rockets, Nuggets vs. Hornets, Spurs vs. Mavericks.

In the East, the top-ranked Magic vs. the Detroit Pistons, the second-ranked Celtics vs. the Bulls, the third-ranked Cavaliers vs. the 76ers, and the Hawks vs. the Heat.

Magic and Pistons, Celtics and Bulls, Cavaliers and 76ers, these three sets of matchups, basically there is no suspense, and once the Magic, Celtics, and Cavaliers advance to the next round, according to the rules, the Celtics, as the winner of 2 and 7, will meet the winner of 3 and 6, that is, the Cavaliers, in the second round.

"If the Cavaliers play the Celtics...... Sun Zhuo was thinking about it before the playoffs even began.

Now, Sun Zhuo can be counted as both a Magic player and a Cavaliers player, and if the Cavaliers meet the Celtics first, Sun Zhuo will want to join forces with James to destroy the Big Three.

The opponent of the Magic in the first round is the Pistons who barely entered the playoffs, Kevin Durant has grown a lot this season, and Sun Zhuo also wants Wei Shao to have more opportunities to exercise with him, so in the first round of the series, Sun Zhuo is still not in a hurry to come back and is still in Cleveland.

Two days later, in the first round of the playoffs, the Magic faced the Detroit Pistons as the No. 1 home game in the East, and Sun Zhuo was not on the team.

Allen Iverson, who joined the Pistons, said to Hamilton and others: "Although the Magic are the strongest team in the East, Sun has not come back yet, and he is not even there today, I predict that he may miss the entire series, which is a great opportunity for us!" ”

Rasheed Wallace also smiled and said: "Haha, you can take the opportunity to give them a Black Eight Miracle and let them be out of the first round!" ”

The Magic, Durant and Wei Shao and others were very nervous.

"In the playoffs, it turned out that I would lead the ......" Durant never expected Sun Zhuo to miss the playoffs, he also spoke to Sun Zhuo on the phone yesterday, Sun Zhuo said that he could return at any time, if Durant could not lead the team to win.

"I can't let Sun look down on him, without Sun, our Magic team can also win!"

Durant, Wei Shao, Turkoglu and others are all in this mood, because Sun Zhuo is too bright, causing the media and fans to pay attention to only Sun Zhuo, and they are often ignored, which is their chance to prove themselves.

Facts have proved that today's Durant + Wei Shao is already quite threatening, and even if the Pistons do not have Sun Zhuo's magic, they are still playing very hard.

If it weren't for the belief and defense they did better, the Pistons might not have won this game.

On the same day, Sun Zhuo fought against the 76ers in the Cavaliers.

"Oh! LeBron is another slam dunk! ”

"Steal! Cavaliers fast break, Marvin Ayton hit another three-pointer! He's already hit three three-pointers in a row! ”

The combination of James + Sun Zhuo, in front of the weak 76, looks like an invincible existence, and the 76ers collapsed in the third quarter!

"It's terrible, why is the knight so powerful?" Iguodala thought he could play a few games with the Cavaliers, but judging from the performance in the first game, there was no chance of winning at all!

In the first game, the Cavaliers beat the 76 team by 27 points at home!

This game also scared the three old guys in Boston, and they all knew that once they qualified, they would meet the Cavaliers!

"Guys, our next opponent seems to be showing us off. It would be nice if the semifinals were Cavaliers vs. Magic. "Ray Allen has a hunch that the next round of the battle will be difficult.

"It's useless to say more, just fight, it's not like we haven't won against them." Paul Pierce still looked dismissive.

And Garnett thought to himself: "The Cavaliers should solve the 76ers in four games, and we can't be too slow, the next round of the playoffs may be the most difficult battle of my career!" ”
