358, dynastic dreams

The regular season is over, and a new journey is about to begin.

With a 74-8 record and a regular season battle, the Raptors led by Wu Di are pinned on countless hopes.

The eyes of the whole world are staring at this young team, and the focus, public opinion, and media are all talking about whether the Raptors can achieve the miracle of three consecutive championships.

In fact, the "dynasty dream" is what every superstar looks forward to, and it is also what fans need in this era.

However, it has always been difficult for any team to achieve such a difficult dream.

After the Spurs won two consecutive championships, they were ended by Wade to the dream of a three-consecutive dynasty, and now, a new dynasty dream has appeared, Wu Di is the one who makes the dream, he is locked in the focus of the world, it seems that the game has not started yet, and everyone has begun to want to know the final result.

The dream of dynastic is Wu Di's greatest pursuit at present, and it is also his only pursuit.

After the regular season, Wu Di thought about his career, and he felt that there was nothing more exciting for him than the three consecutive championships at this stage.

If he can win three consecutive championships, Wu Di's career seems to be about to be finalized, combined with his terrifying appearance, it is clear that he will become the best player of this era.

At that time, Wu Di's mentality will obviously be another state of mind.

However, it is destined to be an easy day, but it is not real, and if you want to experience it, you need to work hard.

In the regular season, Wu Di was satisfied with the team's 74-8 record, which was a new NBA record after all.

Actually, really speaking. Wu Di thinks. They have every hope of setting a record of more than 74 wins. But for the dream of a three-consecutive dynasty, Wu Di chose to follow Collins's arrangement, that is, to maintain physical fitness as much as possible.

Although Wu Di is still young, the intensity of the playoffs is obviously not to be ignored, so it is not unreasonable for Collins to do this.

After Wu Di's rest from fighting to feed the war, his whole body can be said to be full of vitality.

In the days of preparation, he was already looking forward to the playoffs.

That kind of excitement. It's the desire. He wants to play in the playoffs, but he needs a period of playoff preparation.

Of course, during the preparation period, Wu Di did not have nothing to do.

The media has always been able to find him and interview him, mainly because of the regular season awards and his personal table for this season.

Obviously, Wu Di, who played a terrifying personal table again last season, is naturally the hottest player in the new season.

Judging from the media's predictions, Wu Di should be able to win the MVP and the best team and one defense this season.

As for the best defensive player, can Wu Di achieve two consecutive villages. That's not known.

After all, judging by the regular season. Kwame Brown's performance on the defensive end is really eye-catching, and there are many voices supporting him to be the best defensive player.

Therefore, from the current situation, the award for the best defensive player this season is not as clear as last season, Wu Di has one more opponent, and he is also his good brother.

For Wu Di, of course, he hopes to win the award of Best Defensive Player for the second time, but he is not too demanding about it, after all, what he said does not count.

Moreover, Wu Di was completely occupied by the fact that he was hit by the playoffs for three consecutive championships, so he did not pay much attention to the matter of awards in this regard.

However, Wu Di's lack of care does not mean that fans and the media do not pay attention, after all, the first person in the league is a hot player.

……

The days of preparation are not a bit boring, at least not at all for the Raptors.

Everyone is fully focused on the game, which is what they are most happy to do.

From the end of the season on April 16 to the 20th, the Raptors finally waited for the opening of the playoffs after four days of rest.

The Raptors' first-round opponent is the Milwaukee Bucks with Yi Jianlian, and speaking of which, the Bucks' ability to make the playoffs is completely a matter of luck.

Because from the perspective of this year's Eastern Conference, except for the top six, the team's record after that is really bad enough.

Just like the Milwaukee Bucks, who won just 35 games in the regular season this season, they were able to play the playoffs as the eighth seed in the East.

Speaking of which, this series is considered a series that is completely free of suspense.

You must know that the difference between 35 wins and 74 wins is not a star and a half, this is the difference in the strength of the team.

Obviously, everyone thinks that the Raptors should easily break through in this series.

But, what makes people feel even crazier is that the Raptors almost relied on the bench to crush the Bucks, which caused an uproar across the United States.

"It's a jaw-dropping situation, and I have to say that if the Raptors' rotation can form a team, they can make the playoffs this year.

God, this is really a series of massacres. ”

At the end of the series between the Raptors and the Bucks, countless public opinions also exploded.

Obviously, the Bucks are incapable of fighting the Raptors in any aspect, so this series is also considered the most "interesting" game.

Looking at the entire Bucks team, only Yi Jianlian's cousin is quite eye-catching, after all, his identity as a compatriot of Wu Di is there.

And you must know that Yi Jianlian entered the NBA with the sixth pick, while Wu Di was the 11th pick, which makes people have to laugh at the topic.

Judging from Yi Jianlian's performance this season, he is still a good player, but he does not have the potential to become an inside player at the level of Yao Ming as expected.

In the 07~08 season, Yi Jianlian played 48 starts with the Bucks, and in the second half of the season, he almost secured the starting position. It also shows that he is a player with a certain amount of ability, which is quite good.

And during the first round, the NBA officially announced the rookie rookie rookie team of the season. Yi Jianlian is among them. Apparently. In this regard. He was one of the five best players in the class of '07 in the eyes of the public.

Throughout the season, Yi Jianlian was able to contribute an average of 13.1 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game.

The only slight flaw is that Yi Jianlian's hit rate is less than fifty percent. However, this does not affect the Bucks' love and optimism about him.

In fact, if Yi Jianlian is cultivated as a starter, it is obviously very worthwhile.

But if you compare him with Yao Ming and Wu Di. That's obviously unfair.

After all, from the current situation, Yi Jianlian has no possibility of becoming a superstar, but if the Bucks can maintain patience with him, it is obviously good.

If the Bucks were a little hesitant to deal with Yi Jianlian, then after the first-round series with the Raptors, the Bucks are afraid to change their minds.

It is worth mentioning that in the playoffs against the 74-8 Raptors, Yi Jianlian faced All-Star interior Oden and Milicic, and his table can be said to be quite good.

4 games down. Yi Jianlian contributed 15.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals per game to the Bucks, including a shooting rate of 52.2%.

And in the third battle. Yi Jianlian even contributed 32 points and 13 rebounds to an amazing table, almost helping the Bucks win a victory.

Such Yi Jianlian is the scoring champion and rebounding champion of the Bucks in the playoffs, which also made him begin to gather a group of popularity.

And Wu Di also said at the press conference after the series that Yi Jianlian is quite good and has the potential to become an all-star player.

Although Yi Jianlian's style of play is soft, he still has a certain training potential.

……

After the first round of games, the Raptors faced their old club Washington Wizards in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

This is the second playoff meeting between the two teams since Wu Di left the Wizards, and the previous time, the Raptors swept the Wizards 4-0 under Wu Di's leadership.

Therefore, when the two teams meet again now, it will naturally trigger a ratings frenzy.

For a long time, even though Wu Di has left the Wizards team for so long, there are still people who regard the battle between Wu Di and the Wizards as a major event, which also makes the two sides of the game more helpless.

In fact, there is no animosity between the players on both sides, on the contrary, some of them have always maintained close contacts.

For example, Wu Di and Arenas, Brown and others have always been very good.

And this time they met again in the playoffs, Wu Di was relatively relaxed.

However, Brown laughed and scolded after seeing Wu Di, and Brown felt that it was unlucky to meet the Raptors, and a team with 74 wins was not something they could play against.

In fact, even if it can't be said that they can't fight, at least for the Wizards, they would rather play any team than run into the Raptors.

However, that is obviously unrealistic, because the schedule of the Eastern Conference semifinals has already been determined.

However, even if they know how terrible the Raptors are, no one on the Wizards team has any intention of giving up, after all, they also want to win a championship.

The two sides met for the first time, and Wu Di and a group of guys from the Wizards had an extremely affectionate meeting.

Although the two sides seemed extremely enthusiastic before the game, when they really arrived on the field, they were really fighting.

Judging by the whole game, it was clear that both sides wanted to get the win.

However, Wu Di was unstoppable by them, and it was precisely because they couldn't restrain Wu Di that the Wizards team was unfortunately out of the game in the end.

However, for the Wizards, they are relatively much better this year than they were when they last met the Raptors.

At least, in this series, the Wizards also won 1 game against the Raptors.

The weight of the ball should not be underestimated.

You know, from the regular season to now, the Raptors have only brushed 9 games, and this ninth loss is still in the extremely competitive playoffs, obviously, this is the strength of the Wizards.

It's just because of the strength of the Raptors that the Wizards finally regretted it.

Speaking of which, after Arenas, Bosh, and Brown have grown up thoroughly, the Wizards are like a team with the strength to compete for championships.

However, they will inevitably run into the Raptors in the playoffs. This seems to have doomed such a tragedy.

Just as the media is crazy about it. As long as Wu Di is still playing. Then he's a nightmare for all the players.

Against the Wizards, Wu Di's personal table reached 37.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.2 steals and 2.2 blocks.

Such a table seems to have confirmed and paved the way for another important honor in his career.

After the NBA's official announcement, Wu Di won the MVP of the 07~08 season as he wished, which was also the second time he won the MVP in his six-year career.

Obviously, Wu Di's reign is about to come completely, and if he can achieve three consecutive championships this time, it is obviously the best proof.

Able to win 2 MVPs. This allows Wu Di to rely on strong personal honors to secure the position of the first person in the league, after all, from the current players in the NBA, only Wu Di has won 2 or more MVPs.

Moreover, in terms of numbers, there is no comparison with Wu Di in today's NBA.

Obviously, under the absolute advantage, Wu Di is the first person in the NBA, which is no suspense.

So, under this unified cognition. The only thing Wu Di can be expected to be expected is whether he can win the championship. Finally realize his dynastic dream.

It's a thought that permeates the whole world throughout the playoffs.

……

After Wu Di won the MVP honor, he also led the Raptors to the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals.

For this situation, everyone seems to be surprised, because, since Wu Di entered the NBA in 02, he can be seen in the East finals every year.

Except, of course, for the year in which Wu Di was injured and reimbursed.

The Eastern Decisive is the path that Wu Di must pass, which makes people more acknowledgment of his dominance.

And being able to reach the Eastern Conference Finals, Wu Di is obviously one step closer to his dynasty dream.

This year's Raptors' opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals is none other than the Orlando Magic, who have all eyes on this season.

The Orlando Magic, who form a luxurious lineup, does have a strong ability to rely on, and in the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Magic finally eliminated James to reach the Finals again.

This is the matchup that the world is expecting, and being able to appear on the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals is obviously satisfying.

……

In fact, to really put it mildly, the Cavaliers led by James played a very, very good momentum against the Magic team, but they had no choice but to lose in the end after 7 games, which made people feel a little regretful.

By this season, James' individual ability is already one of the best in the league, and he is considered the best player other than Wu Di, and in this regard, fans even put Kobe Bryant behind James.

Obviously, under such great recognition and admiration, James seems to be worthy of the honor in the playoffs to prove his status as the second person in the league in the future.

However, unfortunately, after meeting the Magic team with the luxury triumvirate, James was once again rejected from the Finals.

In fact, this is a situation that makes James feel quite stressed, you know, in today's East, the Orlando Magic and the Toronto Raptors are like two mountains pressing on the heads of all teams.

And James, who played 38+8+8, still can't beat one of them, which naturally makes people feel emotional.

Of course, although the Cavaliers were eliminated from the competition, there was no voice criticizing James, after all, James's personal table is really quite perfect.

In this case, the national media simply said that the Orlando Magic upset the balance of the league, and if it weren't for that, James deserved to face the Raptors and even reach the Finals.

Under such protection, the media directly approved the four words "need to be strengthened" on the Cavaliers column.

……

The Eastern Conference Finals are the focus of the world's attention, and in terms of popularity, it will even surpass the Finals that will happen in the future.

In fact, in the eyes of many people, if the two teams are not in the same division, then it is obvious that these two teams will meet in the finals.

However, it was helpless, because they were both in the East, and the Raptors and Magic still had a showdown in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Because in the previous regular season, Wu Di scored 41 points in a single quarter in the face of the Magic team, which made this round of the series seem full of unknown colors.

Obviously, no one knows if Wu Di will have that kind of expression.

You know, if a player plays like that, he can destroy a team in an instant.

Under everyone's attention and expectations, Wu Di finally ushered in the first game with the Magic team.

As expected, the Magic should have played the Cavaliers for seven games, and there are obviously some fitness issues.

And because of this, under the high-intensity pressure of the Raptors, in the end, Maddy and they still lost the first game.

In the first game, although Wu Di did not perform that kind of miracle, he contributed 8 steals.

It was the second time in his career playoff that he saw eight steals.

It is worth mentioning that the day after this game, the NBA officially announced the best defensive players and the best defensive team.

Wu Di beat Brown to complete the best defensive player two consecutive championships, which in the entire history of the NBA, among the outside players, Wu Di is the only one to do it.

Obviously, after winning the entire honor, Wu Di's status in the future Hall of Fame rankings is obviously going to soar again.

……

After the entire honor was announced, the Eastern Conference semifinals also continued to progress.

In the second game, Maddie and Carter set off a bloody storm with their aggressive offense and two-man cooperation at the Air Canada Center arena.

And under this, the Raptors have been at a disadvantage.

However, for a team aiming for a third consecutive title, it is clear that they can absorb such a little pressure.

When the game reached the fourth quarter, Wu Di finally ushered in an outbreak, with 5 three-pointers and 22 points in a single quarter, and finally ensured the second victory at home.

For fans, the Raptors took a 2-0 lead in the series, which seemed to make the Raptors' dynasty dream very, very close, so a wave of frenzy began to revolve around Wu Di.

Obviously, this is the aura of the rulers of the Union. (To be continued......)
