During these times, the Zen master did not do any extra training in addition to his regular training. He is an experienced coach and knows that this is the time when players need to build up energy, not over-train.
Wu Di has time to party again, and after a few seasons, Wu Di is also famous in Los Angeles, because as long as he is not playing, he will party with a group of beautiful women. The whole of Los Angeles knows Wu Di's preferences, and people are no longer surprised by the scandal between Wu Di and which model, just listen to a lace news, and then pass with a smile.
Of course, Wu Di is lucky, and he still hasn't fallen into the hands of any woman. No woman has taken him to court for money, and it has something to do with Nikki Hilton, she is the link between those women who want to be famous and Wu Di, as long as she doesn't have problems, no woman can get a penny from Wu Di.
Thunder and Mavericks series, Mavericks emerged victorious, and they played six games to decide the winner. The Suns and Trail Blazers also played six games, and the Suns went into the next round 4-2. The Lakers' next opponent is the Jazz, who eliminated the Nuggets 4-2.
The first round of the Eastern Conference is the Cavaliers, Magic, Hawks and Celtics, with the Cavaliers playing the Celtics and the Magic playing the Hawks.
In the second round of the Lakers vs. Jazz, everyone was easy. Because Wu Di can always break out when he is against Jazz. This is not a superstition, but Wu Di has a restraint effect on the Jazz lineup, which is a fact recognized throughout the NBA.
Because no one in the Jazz's No. 3 position is Wu Di's opponent, especially when Kirilenko was injured in the first round. Without Kirilenko, the Jazz's No. 3 position is even weaker, and Boozer and Delon alone can't beat the Lakers.
Boozer's range was very long, so the Zen master did not use the previous lineup, and the starting lineup put Gasol, Wu Di, Sun Yue, Kobe and Fisher, and put Bynum on the bench. Although Wu Di pushed to the No. 4 position and squeezed the playing time of the inside, this can prevent Boozer one-on-one, and the blocking can also limit DeLong and force Boozer to shoot outside the three-point line.
In the first game, this lineup worked. Although Boozer can shoot three-pointers, his shooting percentage is really worrying, even if he doesn't need to be defended, his shooting percentage is not up to 30%.
The outside line can't shoot, the inside line can't be opened, and the Jazz's offense is a mess. On the other hand, the Lakers' offense was very smooth, Oku played one game in the first round, and was injured again, limiting the Jazz's interior line all by Millsap.
Millsap has grown a lot this season, but he is particularly immature, and he was blown up by Gasol.
The Lakers' Big Three all played well and easily won the first game.
In the second game, the Lakers showed a tendency to crush, all the way from the opening lead to the end of the game, and the Jazz were stunned that they did not exceed the score once.
The Jazz returned to their home court, gradually got used to the Lakers' style of play, and began to fight back.
Boozer and Delon's pick-and-rolls began to work hard, and Millsap was also in good form, even suppressing the in-form Gasol. If it weren't for Wu Di and Kobe Bryant breaking out one after another, the Lakers might have lost.
In the final minute of the game, the two sides were tied at 108, and the Jazz had the ball. DeLong broke through the inside to make a layup, but was blocked by Wu Di, and Boozer grabbed the basketball and missed the jumper. Millsap protected the rebound and handed it to De Cheng to organize the offense.
Delon pressed the clock for a moment, then passed Fisher to the basket again, Wu Di made up the defense, and Delon passed to Boozer. Gasol came over to make up for it, Boozer passed to Millsap, who received the ball and dunked to score.
The Jazz led by two points with 16 seconds remaining. Bryant took over possession, he got the ball from the backcourt, and then pressed the clock to the last five seconds. Kobe Bryant shook off CJ Mills and was about to shoot a three-pointer, at this time Deron rushed up and was about to make up for the defense, Kobe passed the ball to Fisher in the last 3 seconds, and Fisher played his big heart, hit a three-point shot, and killed the Jazz.
After the Jazz were killed, their morale plummeted, and they surrendered in the fourth game without much resistance.
swept the Jazz again, and the Lakers once again took the lead in advancing to the Western Conference finals.
Two days later, the game between the Suns and the Mavericks also came out, with the Suns defeating the Mavericks 4-1 and meeting the Lakers in the West.
The two winning teams in the East are the Celtics and the Magic. Little Emperor James is once again being blocked from the East Finals, he is already disappointed in the Cavaliers, and is putting a new round of pressure on the management, he needs help, good help.
After two rounds, the NBA has officially announced all the honors, and the regular season MVP did not fall to Wu Di's head, and James won this MVP by less than 100 points. The two have similar stats, with James averaging 29.7 points, 8.6 assists and 7.3 rebounds per game. Wu Di has 26.6 points, 9.1 assists, 6.4 rebounds, 2.9 blocks, and 2.4 steals.
Although the data is similar, James leads the team alone, but the record is the same as that of the Lakers, and James's fame is greater, and it seems that it is not impossible to defeat Wu Di.
Wu Di's data and the early season have shrunk a little, this is because of the Zen master's rotation strategy in the later stage, there is not so much playing time, and the data is naturally a lot less.
Wu Di won the Defensive Player of the Year and beat Howard once again. Howard averaged 18.3 points, 13.2 rebounds, 2.8 blocks and 0.9 steals per game. In terms of defensive data, Howard and Wu Di are still a lot worse, although Howard has more rebounds, but he is still not Wu Di's opponent.
This also has something to do with some of those who didn't vote for Wu Di's MVP, and they gave Wu Di sympathy points.
The Rookie of the Year is Evans of the Kings, who averages 20.1 points, 5.8 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game.
The Sixth Man of the Year is Crawford of the Hawks, averaging 18 points, 3.0 assists and 2.5 rebounds per game.
The most improved player is the Rockets' Brooks, who is averaging 19.6 points per game, an increase of 8.4 points from last season.
The best coach was won by Thunder coach Squat Brooks, and the Thunder were able to rely on young players to make the playoffs, and Brooks' credit is undeniable. The best general manager was won by the Bucks' John Hammond, who helped the Bucks play 12 games this season and re-enter the playoffs.
