Chapter 70: Coming up against the Heat and the Awards
readx; In the next two games, the Cavaliers won the game without any pressure, and easily swept the Pistons with a big score of 4-0 to easily advance to the second round. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThere really wasn't any pressure in these four games, no pressure at all. The Cavaliers won an average of 30 points per game over four games. Such a disparity in scores is also the first time in so many years, the strength of this piston is too weak, and it has no ability to fight back in front of the knights.
Not only does he not have any ability to fight back, but he is not even qualified to shine the knight's shoes. Many fans think so in their hearts. The reason why there is such a belief is entirely because the performance of the Pistons really makes many fans very painful to watch. In the round series, the Pistons' performance was completely sorry for his playoff spot, losing to others by an average of 30 points per game, which was not a matchup but a disgrace. All fans also know that if the Pistons don't make any changes in the offseason, then the Pistons will be out of the playoffs from then on.
No one doubts this, because they clearly feel that other teams in the East are gradually getting stronger, such as the Pacers, such as the Nets, and they may re-enter the playoffs. The Nets were plagued by injuries this season, so they ultimately failed to make the playoffs. This made many fans feel very disappointed, but it was only a disappointment.
The Cavaliers are the fastest to advance of any playoff team, and everyone else has to play more or less more games than the Cavaliers. Of course, the Cavaliers were very happy because they were given enough time to rest and prepare for the next game. But there is also a problem in front of them. Because they don't know who their next opponent will be, whether it's the Hawks or the Heat, they can't have any targeted training. So that alone is a headache for them. But they know that there is no way around it. Whoever told his side to take down the Pistons so quickly, I don't know how many more games to play.
Of course, many fans are also worried about how the Cavaliers will maintain their condition next, after all, it is still very worrying to rest for such a period of time. During this time, the Cavaliers did not have any games to play, so the state of the game must be greatly affected, and whether they can adjust their condition in time is undoubtedly a very difficult challenge for the Cavaliers. However, the knight can only settle down as soon as he comes, and he doesn't think so much about how to adjust his state at ordinary times, and how to maintain it.
A week passed in the blink of an eye, and the knights still didn't know who their opponent was. Whether it's the Heat or the Hawks, because this playoff matchup between the Hawks and the Heat is supposed to be the king of the Cavaliers' first game. In addition, this group of duels is now in a tie-break, which makes the Cavaliers' players very speechless. They had just thought they would be able to find out who their opponent was after just a few days of rest, but now it's a tie-break. This made them very helpless, and when they knew who their opponent was, the time left for them to prepare for the battle was only one and a half days and nearly two days.
When the time comes, whether it is the Hawks or the Heat who come out on top and win the tiebreaker, either of them will be in very good shape. Because they have always spent their time in games, and the Cavaliers have spent their time training and playing, the difference can be seen by a discerning person.
In this year's playoffs, not only the Heat and Hawks entered the tiebreaker, but the Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls also entered the tiebreaker, which is the only two groups in the East that have not decided the qualifiers. If you say that the Hawks and Heat will not be surprised by the tie-breaker, after all, the strength of both teams is about the same.
But the seven-game battle between the Celtic Savages and the Bulls made many fans fall through the glasses on the spot, because in their opinion, the game that can decide the winner in four or five games has been dragged to the point where the promotion has not yet been decided, which makes many fans feel incredible, and now they are beginning to worry about whether the Celtics will be given the black seven by the Bulls in the first round of the game. The situation is now in front of them, so it makes perfect sense for them to think so.
In addition to the tie-break in the east, there were also two tie-breaks in the west. As if the east and west had agreed, both sides were two sets of duels to enter the tie-breaker. On the Western side, the Rockets and Jazz, the Lakers and Trail Blazers are in the tie-breaker.
……
Two days later, Huang Jun and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, because they finally waited for their opponent, who was the Heat from Miami. They still know that the state of the Heat is very hot now, but whether it is Huang Jun, or James or Iverson, the three of them have no worries about this. Because in their eyes, the Heat are just an opponent they need to deal with, and their stage is not here, but in the Finals, which is their minimum goal this year. The minimum goal is to compete in the finals, and the final goal is to win the championship.
"James, this Heat team is amazing, I thought they might not make the playoffs. But in the end, they not only broke into the playoff stage, but also won a ticket to the semifinals with an excellent performance in the first round. Since the All-Star, the Heat's state has been really good. It seems that this series between us and the Heat is really interesting. After Huang Jun knew the opponent in the playoffs, James was right next to him, so he didn't have any worries to say what was in his heart.
"The reason why this team didn't perform so well before was because they didn't have any tacit understanding before, so their record was naturally not so good. But then they gradually found a tacit understanding and state, so this strength naturally rose like a rocket. This record is naturally rising. You're right, the Heat are going to pose a threat, but that's just a threat, and I'm sure we're not going to fall at the feet of the Heat, right? James said with a smile.
Huang Jun nodded, and then continued, "This year's Rocket team finally broke through the first round, but it's still so dangerous." If it weren't for Maddy's crazy performance in the final quarter, the Rockets would have fallen in front of the door again this year. Once the Rockets enter this stage, their morale will change dramatically, and it will also become a huge problem, but this huge problem will not be for us, but for the Lakers. ”
The Lakers also won the tiebreaker, so the Lakers and Rockets will face off in the next semifinals. Both teams have a Chinese, although it is not the same position, but this is also full of highlights. For this, Huang Jun naturally knows that any team with a lineup like the Rockets must not be ignored. The reason why the Rockets have not been able to break through the first round in the past is entirely because injuries have affected them. Fortunately, in this year's playoffs, they finally got together their complete facelift. The only surprise was that the Rockets and Jazz played seven games. However, thinking that the Jazz is the nemesis of the Rockets, such a result makes many fans feel a little normal.
The Spurs and Nuggets advanced early, and they took the lead in the semifinals, the first of which was played on the Spurs' home court, and in the end the Spurs won the game without any difficulty. Ginobili's best performance in the game was Ginobili, who came off the bench to score 30 points in the game, and finally led the Spurs to a comfortable 10-90 victory over the visiting Nuggets, thus leading 1-0 in the big score.
By the time the first round of the playoffs is over, all the season awards have already been out. It's definitely getting a lot of attention, and they want to look at the All-Defensive Team, the All-Defensive Team, the Regular-Season MVP, the All-Defensive Player. Naturally, many fans are very concerned about these, and the most concerned is the most valuable player in the regular season. Everyone knows that this award will probably be produced between Kobe, James and Huang Jun.
Although Huang Jun is only a rookie this year, his performance this season is in the eyes of everyone. And this award doesn't mean that you won't be given to you if you're a rookie, as long as your performance is good enough, then the media will naturally vote for you. Of course, the most vocal is James, followed by Kobe.
James' performance this season is very efficient, and Kobe Bryant has too many shots, although the Lakers are also the first in the West, but James's team Cavaliers is the top in the league. Therefore, Kobe Bryant does not have any advantage in the record list, and he is naturally not as efficient as James in terms of performance, so James is the most popular candidate for the most valuable player.
Best Defensive Player, and eventually the league awarded this award to Howard the Monster. Many people are not surprised by this result. Because they had already thought of such a prediction before, there were naturally no surprises. If they hadn't given it to Howard, they would have felt incredible and surprised.
The best team also came out, but this lineup also surprised many people, all because one person was selected, although his performance was very good. But many people still felt incredible, and a little unacceptable, while the fans who were him cheered because they took it all for granted.
