The most talked-about scoring champion was won by Allen Iverson, the star of the Philadelphia 76ers, for the fourth time, the rebounding king is Kevin Garnett of the Timberwolves, the assist king is Steve Nash, who helped the Suns become the most offensive team to win the league's first record, the block king was somewhat unexpectedly won by Jazz forward Andrei Kirilenko, and the steal king is Wizards' Larry Hughes.

Soon, the regular season awards for the 04-05 season will be released one after another, and different awards represent the value of players in various aspects.

However, by this time, the top 16 teams in the East and West have already set their minds on the playoffs.

The top eight in the East, starting from the first place, are, Miami Heat, Detroit Pistons, Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, HSD Wizards, Indiana Pacers, Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks.

The West from first to eighth place is the Phoenix Suns, San Antonio Spurs, Seattle SuperSonics, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, Sacramento Kings, Denver Nuggets and Memphis Grizzlies.

On April 23, the playoffs officially began.

On the first day of the game, due to Jermaine O'Neal's slump, the Pacers lost to the Celtics away, the Rockets played the Mavericks away with Tracy McGrady's strong performance, the SuperSonics defeated the Kings, Ray Allen performed well, and the 76ers were still not the opponents of the Pistons under the combination of Allen Iverson and Chris Webber.

On April 24, the Knicks and Heat game kicked off at the American Airlines Arena.

With the return of Alonzo Mourning, the Heat's interior line can be described in just one word, and that is strong.

Although Alonzo Mourning does not have the ability to probe at his peak with 20+10, he is more than enough as O'Neal's backup, and his defensive ability is still among the best in the league.

O'Neal alone can blow up all of the Knicks' interior lines, and with Alonzo Mourning's words, it's normal that no one is optimistic about the Knicks.

In addition to the strength of the interior line, the Heat's outside strength should not be underestimated, and the combination of Damon Jones, Eddie Jones and Dwyane Wade is as offensive and defensive as the interior.

Lehi will misplace to defend Wade, and Crawford will defend Eddie Jones at the Heat's No. 3 position, and there won't be much difference in height.

Due to the gap on the inside, the Knicks started with a shrink defense, a strategy that ran less than three minutes before Damon Jones hit from beyond the three-point line, and then O'Neal received the ball inside completely unconcerned about Kurt Thomas's defense to complete the score.

The two sides were still inseparable in the first quarter, and Lehi's defense against Wade was quite successful, but when it came time to rotate, the gap between the two sides became apparent.

The main thing is the inside, the combination of Shaquille O'Neal, Udonis Haslem and Alonzo Mourning, completely crushing several Knicks.

In the second quarter, the shrinking defense was completely problematic, and Wade was not needed to play at all, and Damon Jones hit consecutive three-pointers, and the margin suddenly came to double digits.

In the third quarter, Lehi, Marbury and Crawford were all on fire, and they no longer cared about the disadvantage of the interior line, and competed with each other to score.

The Knicks' outside scoring ability can be said to be the league's first-class, but the defense is much worse, even Lehi can't completely limit Wade without inside help, not to mention Marbury and Crawford in the defensive situation, their pure outside scoring is much more difficult than the combination of the Heat's inside and outside.

The struggle in the third quarter was also up and down with the Heat.

By the fourth quarter, Crawford's shooting percentage dropped, and the Knicks fell all at once.

After losing by 16 points, the Heat in the playoffs were more difficult to deal with than in the regular season, and Lehi tried his best, which was just a drop in the bucket for the whole team.

Except for the Nuggets' Andre Miller who broke out to beat the Spurs, the rest of the games were won by the team with home-court advantage.

The Bulls Ben Gordon outburst into victory over the Wizards, and the Suns also beat the Grizzlies in a steady play.

'I think it's about the defense, and we're not bad at scoring. On the training ground, Lehi was very unwilling.

Marbury was a little dark-faced, "If you shrink the defense, there will definitely be problems on the outside, and the opponent's three-point shooting percentage is high, and Jamal and I can't do it." ”

"In my experience, there is no point in dwelling on defense right now, we can only win if we attack them and play with all the attacking power."

Lehi retorted: "If we only focus on attack, we can win a game or two when we feel good, but to win the game, the defense has to go up. ”

As soon as Lehi said this, many people looked at him with strange eyes.

He understood that against the Heat, most of them didn't believe they could really win.

Herb Williams just encouraged the players to play their characteristics, but the specific way was not available, the two sides really have a gap in the lineup, and there is no way to limit the Heat's inside and outside at the same time.

Among the teams that entered the playoffs, that is, the interior of the Knicks, it was so miserable.

On April 25, the Pacers defeated the Celtics away to bring the game back to 1:1, while the Rockets' McGrady and Yao Ming still showed strong fighting power, leading the Mavericks 2:0 away.

On April 26, the Knicks played the Heat again.

The Knicks' defense has changed slightly this time, not directly shrinking, but pinch O'Neal, while also paying attention to defensive outside shooting.

Lehi's opponent is still Wade, and apart from him, the Knicks have only one possibility of being completely blown up by Wade.

Compared to the last game, Lehi's restriction on Wade was even better.

Wade is the No. 2 position of the Heat, but in the playoffs, he is actually the team's offensive playmaker, and Lehi is more successful in defending the opponent's mid-range shots, but many times Wade only needs to pass the ball inside, and things go bad.

The Heat even came off the bench Alonzo Mourning to score 20 points, and the Knicks' interior was all plagued by fouls, with Kurt Thomas and Michael Svetney all fouled.

In such a situation, the Knicks played extremely hard, were suppressed from start to finish, and finally lost by 15 points, which was similar to the result of the first game.

In addition, the overall score of the 76ers and Pistons has also become 0:2, the Kings 0:2 SuperSonics, the Wizards 0:2 Bulls, the Grizzlies 0:2 Suns, and only the Spurs, who lost unexpectedly before, taught the Nuggets to be human with a 28-point advantage.

Experts have predicted that this year's playoffs will not produce miracles, especially the Knicks and Grizzlies, who meet the strongest teams in the East and West, and only 0:4 will be swept away.
