Chapter 306: The Knicks Who Got Nothing

The game between the Wizards and the Magic team was very exciting, if it weren't for the Wizards' Jeffries (the same height and weight as Maddy) who performed very well in defending Maddie, the final result is likely to be that the two sides would play Game 7.

Kwame's high school champion matchup with Howard is also the focus of fans' viewing, but Kwame has already passed the time when he used his body to fight hard, unless it is a key score, Kwame does not want to use his back to single the energetic Howard.

When Kwame held the ball, he was in the high position, using the firepower of his teammates to counter the regularity of the Magic, especially Larry Hughes's breakthrough at this point, which forced the Magic to put Houston on the bench in Game 2 and let Stevenson as the starter.

Just after letting Stephenson serve as the starter, the Magic's rotational offense is a big question mark, the Wizards' players, including Maddy, becomes a viable range, and the lack of a stable three-point point in the lineup becomes an extremely fatal problem for the Magic.

As for the rookie Nelson in this year, he did not have any qualifications to compete with Arenas, whether it was size, weight, experience, or technique, there has been a breakthrough in Arenas's technical level now, especially around Kwamei, when it is still relatively easy to score.

The strength of the Wizards this year is very strong, Arenas and Hughes have reached the best level of their careers, and the addition of Jamison to revitalize the inside and outside of the Wizards, especially Kwame's versatility is undoubtedly reflected in this lineup.

In the summer of the past few years, the practice time and number of Kwamei and Olajuwon have also been recognized by everyone, and even Olajuwon expressed his satisfaction with Kwamei's learning and appreciation of Kwamei's physical fitness in media interviews.

As for Howard, after the arrival of Big Van Gundy, Ewing deliberately found Ewing to train him, and Ewing praised Howard's ability, and this game was privately said by many fans who are obsessed with the center that this is a continuation of the center's legacy.

While time is a pig-killing knife, it is also a catalyst, and Howard, who has not undergone enough experience, is indeed far from the current Kwamei.

In the third game, Van Gundy, who didn't care about anything, finally gambled and let all the players who could attack play, and Maddie played the whole game, so that the Magic team did move back to one game when they scored 120 points in the whole game, but all the luck of the Magic team ended here.

In the fourth game, Kwame scored an all-around record of 27+17+7, completely destroying Howard's self-confidence in the rest of the round, and Arenas scored 33 points in the game, and the Wizards who did their best also came to the match point.

It's just the fifth game, in Orlando's home court, there is a person who seems to have been silent for a long time broke out, it is the 'mid-pitch king' Houston, in this game, he seems to have given up all concerns, just want to win the game, facing his former opponent, Washington Wizards, Houston handed over the final performance of 38 points.

Houston's injuries are due to age, too much muscle load over a long period of time, strong pressure, and the fact that he is not an outstanding body, which is no longer a disease that can be repaired by so-and-so...... Now that the knee injury can be repaired, Houston's body is no longer able to stand on the NBA court.

After the game, Houston was left with a shoulder and a gloomy expression, and when he returned to Orlando, he held a press conference to announce that he would retire from the NBA after this game.

The news of Houston's retirement announcement was not the front page headline of the sports section of the day, but was only mentioned in the process of introducing the first round of games! Houston's glory is there, and he has been paid more than he can afford, but the slight entanglement between him and Hill may also become the last swan song after this retirement.

Regardless, the final role of the Magic players who brought the game back to Orlando, Houston, was the one who inspired the Magic players to lose the final game in Game 6 with all their might.

Except for the Knicks, who won the game easily, the other three rounds were extremely fierce competitions, which can be regarded as setting the tone for the development of the NBA, and the same as the East, the playoffs in the West are not far behind.

The Suns unsurprisingly eliminated the Grizzlies 4-0, and the Spurs also defeated the Rockets in the same district.

The Nuggets unexpectedly defeated the SuperSonics, who are third in the West, and the main reason why the SuperSonics can rank third is the league's regulations, the first place in the Eastern and Western Divisions is ranked in the top three, and the Mavericks are affected by this, although the record is third, but in the end they can only rank fourth.

Anthony has improved a lot in the new season after losing a playoff spot in his rookie season, and he has also put his attention completely on the court, not off the court as he has in the past.

In this round of seven games, Anthony's average of 28 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists per game also substituted himself into the sequence of the league's top scorers, while Marbury only averaged 22 points and 7 assists per game under Miller's defense.

This series is truly a stage for Anthony to win the battle.

As for the other thing that most people don't expect, the Mavericks will end up beating the Kings with a 4-0 record. In this round of the series, the Mavericks did not give the Kings any chance to overtake, which can be described as suppressing from beginning to end, but the Mavericks replaced the young general Avery of Nelson Sr. did not show a very happy look at the result of the game.

Local media in Dallas have revealed that there is a major conflict between Kidd and Avery, and even in the game against the Kings, Kidd directly explained the team's tactics in the second half at halftime and in the locker room.

Nowitzki, Carter and other players have no aversion to Kidd's personal guidance, but they have an undisguised dislike for Avery who only emphasizes defense, which has a lot of factors in the ups and downs of the team's record since Nelson Sr. left the Mavericks, I heard that Cuban has given Avery an ultimatum, if he can't settle the current situation in the locker room himself, Avery will not be the head coach next season.

Fans don't care about Avery and they want to see the Mavericks and Suns collide in the second round of the playoffs, and the first face-to-face face-to-face in the playoffs between Kidd and Nash.

This season's awards are basically awarded after the first round of the playoffs, but only Gong Feng and Allen have entered the third team for the Knicks this season, and even Yao Ming and Hill have not entered the best team.

Of course, this may also have something to do with the decline in Yao Ming and Hill's data this season, both of whom are the focus of the Knicks' protection, and while the playing time is reduced, the data will naturally decrease.

But Mill is still extremely angry and expressed his opinion to some local media who have been close to the Knicks for a long time, the first team in the East, only two players are in the third best team? What is this statement?

In the second half of the season, the Knicks increased Jay's playing time as the main player, and because of Gong Feng's injury, Jay was not eligible to continue to run for the best sixth man.

Unlike the Knicks, the Suns and Wizards have been the biggest winners this season.

Nash and Kwame are on the first team, Arenas and Marion are on the third team, and Cott's votes for the best defensive player are second only to Ben? Wallace's point and, most importantly, Nash's election as the MVP of the season.

And Gong Feng, who has the same assist stats as Nash, can only be ranked in the third team.

But Gong Feng and other main forces did not complain about this in any public occasion, or even congratulate the winners, which is not to say that the Knicks are naturally generous, but there are close reasons for the Knicks' collective analysis.

The league headquarters arranged this way for the Knicks, firstly, to create some topics that would allow the Knicks to talk about in the past, secondly, to protect the Knicks, and thirdly, to pave the way for the Knicks' possible championship journey.

This is the result of the analysis of the four players and the three coaches, and even Bosh and Jay don't know what the seven people said in this meeting. (To be continued.) )
