Chapter 248: New Mission, Playoffs Begin, Advance to the Second Round!
"Ding, congratulations to the host for getting the template with its own badge: Human Weapon (Diamond)!"
???
And also?
This is the fourth badge!
Li Wan hurriedly clicked on the introduction of the "Eleven All-round" badge:
"Human Weapon: As a comprehensive all-round eleven offensive all-round king, the host's ability to read and defend on the offensive end has been increased by 20%!"
"Ding, it has been detected that the host's basket singles ability is not up to standard and cannot be activated, please increase the host's back playing ability to 70 points as soon as possible!"
Nima!
Li Wan's eggs hurt for a while.
Looking through the offensive panel:
Field of view: 85 (90); Ball control: 85 (90); Passing: 80 (85); CIC: 91 (95); Three-pointers: 75 (85); Breakthrough: 80 (88); Layup: 80 (86); Back: 30 (85); Dunk: 80 (88); Slam dunk on the spot: 35 (50); Offensive card slots: 61 (80); Air cut: 80 (88); Runs off the ball: 80 (85);
Belch......
This 30-point back-to-back ability is indeed a bit too eye-catching.
Train!
Must practice!
Even for the attributes of this "human weapon" badge, Li Wan must practice.
Speaking of which, Leonard is also the least famous of the "human weapons".
Because when it comes to Leonard, the first reaction is his defense, and the second reaction is his "mid-range jumper".
But in fact, he knows all of the NBA's eleven offensive abilities, and even his back, mid-range and catch-and-shoot have reached the level of mastery.
He later had a very scary statistic: since the 15-16 season, there have been 4-6 offensive rounds accounting for more than 10% or around 10% every season, and 7-9 offensive styles accounting for more than 4% of the rounds, and no matter which offensive style, the efficiency can be guaranteed.
This is also the reason why when it comes to Leonard, the general opinion is that his offensive ability is better than DeRozan.
The little girl who can only make one or two moves is definitely different from the aunt who has eighteen kinds of martial arts!
Compared to the former, the latter will definitely make you feel more unguarded!
How can she play tricks there?
But in fact, if you really look at the data of their careers, you will find that in the highest season of Lai Lonard's career, he averaged 27.1 points per game and shot 47.1% from the field!
DeRozan's highest scoring season per game, averaging 27.9 points per game and shooting 50.4 from the field!
If you don't count the rookie season as a role player in your rookie season, Lai Leonard's highest shooting percentage was 51.2% and scored 24.8 points in his season when he shot 53.1%, and DeRozan averaged 53.1% and averaged 22.1 points per game!
Speaking of the regular season alone, whether it is scoring or scoring efficiency, the two are actually about the same.
is a single means of scoring, as well as a fragile psychology, which made DeRozan finally reduced to a "regular season star". And Leonard, who has a variety of means, makes it impossible for others to focus on his mid-range shooting when defending him.
As for looking at the difficulty of shooting, don't think about it, it's purely the same as my department and the "11 knife man", the footsteps are weak and explosive, and I can't get rid of it.
It's just that the historical-level static talent allows him to make stable shots in that environment.
Strength and static talent are what really makes him more powerful than DeRozan!
If he had DeRozan's athletic talent......
Judging from the overall data on the offensive end, although the changes are not very big, Li Wan's ball control ability came to 90 points after getting the template of Lai Lonard.
In this way, Li Wan has two offensive abilities with a potential of 90 points.
Of course, the biggest change must be Li Wan's dynamic talent, with three strengths, explosiveness, physical fitness and bounce all reaching more than 90 points.
When these abilities are realized, it is no exaggeration to say that Li Wan will have the top physical talent in history.
However, this is quite normal, come to Leonard's static talent plus DeRozan and Jr-Smith's dynamic talent, if this is not a historical talent, then is there any reason?
His gaze continued to move downward, and Li Wan looked at the template upgrade task again.
S-Rank is not the end, and you can continue to level up......
This is the reason why Li Wan is content with this template.
Like DeRozan's template upgrade mission, it's a career achievement.
Li Wan needs to match these accolades.
You don't have to look at the data, most of them already show "completed".
Lai Leonard is really poor in terms of statistics, with a maximum score of 45 points, which is the level of Li Wan's rookie season.
In terms of rebounds and assists, he has also surpassed.
Now there are still 7 steals in a single game and one "steal king of the season" task is not completed......
Li Wan currently has the highest number of steals in a single game of 6, completed two or three times, and now the potential of defensive ability has improved so much, and there is also the badge of "Death Entanglement", he believes that this task will not be too much of a problem when completed!
"Season steal king" for Li Wan, has also been in the touchable stage, but has not been able to get the stage, the previous two seasons Li Wan average steals per game was about 2, ranking between the third ~ fifth in the league.
And then there's the honors.
Compared to DeRozan, the honor of coming to Leonard is much more gorgeous.
But......
Two championships and two finals MVPs, completed!
An All-Star MVP Trophy, Completed!
Five-time All-Star, completed!
……
There are still 3 missions left to complete.
The first is the five-time All-Star Team.
At present, Li Wan has scored 4 times, and if he scores again this season, the task will be completed.
It's a matter of time......
This season, Li Wan is the first in the regular season MVP list, and it is impossible not to enter the best team!
Then there are seven All-Defensive Team Awards.
This should also be a matter of time, Li Wan has won the "Best Defensive Team" 3 times, and if he enters this year, it will be 4 times, and there are still 3 times missing.
Finally, in Li Wan's view, the most difficult task:
2 times "Best Defensive Player Award"!
The good news is......
The "Best Defensive Player Award" for the next two years is Marc Gasol and Joakim Noah......
Compared to Howard and Big Ben, the historic "best defensive player", these two are a little worse!
The pressure to compete is not so great!
In short, if it goes well, in 3 years, Li Wan will be able to have the next template.
That is, in the summer of 15 years, the template evolved into SS class!
15 years......
It just so happened to be the time to meet the "cosmic bravery......
It really wasn't an era where you could win on defense alone!
……
Closing the system panel, Li Wan walked out of the shower room.
Frankly speaking, Li Wan was not very satisfied with the shipment of the system this time, but if he thought about it carefully, if it was SSR every time, then his luck would be too European.
And it's so good......
Greatly strengthened the defensive end......
There is an increase, and the task of the past four years has not been done in vain!
With the end of the season, the seats in the East and West of the league have also had their final results.
The first to eighth places in the east are:
New York Knicks;
Chicago Bulls;
Miami heat;
New Jersey Nets;
Orlando Magic;
Indiana Pacers;
Philadelphia 76;
Atlanta Hawks;
According to this seat, the opponent of the New York Knicks in the first round is the Atlanta Hawks, who have just traded the "Hawks".
The second-place Bulls opponent is the Philadelphia 76ers;
The third-place Heat met the Pacers;
The fourth-place New Jersey Nets face the Orlando Magic;
The first to eighth places in the west are:
San Antonio Spurs;
Oklahoma City Thunder;
Los Angeles Clippers;
Los Angeles Lakers;
Memphis Grizzlies;
Dallas Mavericks;
Portland Trail Blazers;
Utah Jazz;
The four sets of matchups in this year's Western Conference playoffs are: Spurs vs. Jazz; Thunder vs. Trail Blazers; Clippers vs. Mavericks; Lakers vs. Grizzlies.
Among these eight sets of matchups, there are only two sets of matchups that make the outside world feel suspenseful:
A duel between the fourth and fifth sides of the two sides.
That is, the Eastern Nets vs. the Magic, and the Western Lakers vs. the Grizzlies.
The momentum of the Magic's regrouping is really scary, they won 24 of the 32 games after the All-Star break, and only lost 8 of them, a winning rate of 75%!
At this win rate, if they play a full 82 games, then they will get 62 wins......
How scary is this record......
This year, the New York Knicks, who are the first in the East, have 63 wins, while the Bulls, who are second in the East, have only 61 wins!
This form is so good that the outside world expects the Magic to beat the higher-ranked Nets 4-2 or 4-3 after six or seven games.
As for the matchup between the Lakers and the Grizzlies, what makes the outside world feel suspenseful is:
The Lakers have had problems such as aging the roster in the second half of the season, and their form has fluctuated greatly, including the number of games in which Kobe's form has been unstable has gradually increased.
While Bryant has always been eager to prove himself, his 43% shooting per game can't fool anyone......
This is the lowest season for Kobe Bryant to shoot per game since the 97~98 season.
And that season was the second season of Kobe Bryant's career.
The voice of "Kobe Bryant is old" is getting louder and louder, so that this Kobe Bryant's team has been questioned very loudly.
Along with the results of the eastern and western rankings, there are also the "data kings" of various big data lists.
Li Wan once again counterattacked Kevin Durant, with an average of 31.8 points per game, became the "scoring champion" this season, and ended the 4-year chaotic battle on the "scoring list", becoming another player to win the "scoring champion" after Kobe.
It is worth mentioning that not counting those "ancient gods" in the 70s, Li Wan is the player with the lowest draft pick among the players who have won the "scoring champion" for a second time.
At the same time, Li Wan also won this season's "assist king" with an average of 13.4 assists per game.
It also allowed him to unlock another long-standing NBA record.
He became the first player since Knight Archibald to win the "Scoring Title" and "Assist Champion" in the same season.
The "rebounding king" belongs to Dwight Howard, who averaged 14.5 rebounds per game this season, and LeFou, who opened the second, averaged 1.2 rebounds per game.
Just this rebounding ability, you say......
How could Kobe not let him grab the rebound!
The "king of blocks" belongs to the "talented" Yin Bacca, averaging 3.8 blocks per game, which also refreshed the block list in recent years, and the "steal king" belongs to Chris Paul, who averages 2.5 steals per game.
In addition to averaging 31.8 points and 13.4 assists per game, Lee has 9.5 rebounds, 2.1 steals and 1.6 blocks this season.
The three-point shooting percentages were 52.4 percent per game, 42.3 percent per game and 88.2 percent per game.
The free throw shooting rate is 1.8% worse, otherwise Li Wan will enter the "180 Club" again, but the 88.2% shooting rate is already very high, and Li Wan ranks third on the free throw shooting percentage list this season, behind Crawford and Nowitzki.
……
In the afternoon of the same day, the league announced the "Rookie of the Season" for the 11~12 season.
Kyrie Irving won the award with a whopping 90% "vote rate".
Compared with previous years, this year's rookie seems to be particularly depressed, Owen has already won the limit of the same rookie with a slight shot, it is worth saying that when he won the award, Owen uploaded the "Best Rookie" trophy, and at the same time sent a sentence: Thank you.
The remark did not attract much attention.
The fact that Owen is a religious has long been revealed by the media.
In the "free" land of the United States, religious belief is also popular, and a plaque was smashed on the road, hitting 10 people, including at least 9 "believers" and one "leader......
But in Li Wan's view, this is a sign of Owen's evolution towards a "European immortal".
That afternoon, the New York Knicks entered the playoff preparation stage.
As a team with championship background, the New York Knicks are not much different from usual at this stage, and the only change may be a change in attitude.
The "nightclub coffee" led by Artest and Odom took the initiative to hand over their VIP membership cards for many nightclubs in New York. expressed his importance to the playoffs with practical actions.
Li Wan talked to D'Antoni and Mike Brown for a chat.
After the regular season, the New York Knicks' current situation is that the offensive end and the defensive end are among the top in the league, but the distance between the two sides is still a little short.
】
In fact, it's a critical point.
At the critical moment when the bayonet is red, what you want is the ultimate in offense or defense.
You can defend your opponent, or you can score your opponent's basket!
Of course, Li Wan hopes that the extreme that the team can achieve is the ultimate in the offensive end.
The defense is noticeably more passive than the offensive end.
Li Wan is not a passive person, he likes to be active.
But now, he has no choice......
Can only be used on the defensive end as a killer move......
D'Antoni's first reaction when he heard Li Wan's suggestion was:
Li Wan doesn't love me anymore!
Otherwise, why not talk about the defensive end and not the offensive end?
Am I not doing well enough?
D'Antoni had no intention of discussing, thinking about whether he usually had a place to do it.
Li Wan didn't think too much about D'Antoni's silence.
In his cognition......
D'Antoni is a run-and-gun guy who knows how to defend with a hammer.
On April 18, as in previous years, the NBA kicked off the playoffs on this day.
The four sets of matchups on the first day were: Bulls vs. Philadelphia 76ers, Nets vs. Magic, Thunder vs. Trail Blazers, Lakers vs. Grizzlies.
The end result.
The Bulls won 99-88 over the Philadelphia 76ers in an easy victory.
Originally, this season, the game between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Bulls was actually the eighth in the East, and the 76ers also completed the "Black Eight Miracle" in this series.
But this "Black Eight Miracle" should be the most watery in NBA history, after all, Derrick Rose and Hamilton are both injured.
However, that was the original.
This time the Bulls didn't have the first place in the East.
But......
Neither Derrick Rose nor Hamilton are injured......
I don't have to say, it's the "butterfly effect" brought by Li Wan again:
This season is different from the original, the league has not been suspended, the schedule has not shrunk, and there is no "back-to-back" such a devilish schedule in the format......
That gives Derrick Rose and Hamilton plenty of rest.
In addition, Kevin Garnett's injury in the playoffs seems to have changed Thibodeau's coaching style from being as extreme as he used to be.
For the use of Rose, he is no longer brainless "dead*", the game situation has entered "garbage time", and he will not hesitate when it is time to replace Rose.
As a result, the Philadelphia 76ers have no possibility of stealing chickens.
They are also quite miserable, they robbed Xiao Si the year before last, and they used it for a season last year, and they can't do it this season......
Speaking of the players who have come out of the Suns in recent years, most of them are in this situation, Shaq O'Neal had a career when he was with the Suns, but he left the Suns and went to the Cavaliers. The same is true of the original Steve Nash, who was fine with the Suns and went to the Lakers, and his back injury immediately worsened......
The Suns' "miracle doctor team" is really ......
When Li Wan thought about this incident, he always felt that he should join the Suns at the end of his career to prolong the life of his career.
The Thunder also beat the Trail Blazers with ease.
This game proves that in the current NBA, it is really not possible to do without the outside.
The combination of Aldridge and Oden suppressed the opposite Yin Baka and Perkins, but they lost too much from the outside, losing by nearly 25 points.
In the end, the Thunder also defeated the Trail Blazers by 108-90, 18 points.
A minute before the end of the game, the sideline camera gave Luo Yin several times. The Portland fans' expressions were complicated by this:
If Luo Yin wasn't injured, how good would it be......
Compared to these two games, the Lakers played the Grizzlies in this game much more anxious.
First of all, the Lakers simply can't stop Zach Randolph from turning over on the inside.
Whether it's Pau Gasol or Bynum, there are only four words for him:
Tired and don't love!
The inability to defend is one problem, and the inability to attack is another problem.
Pau Gasol struggled very much when he met Mark Gasol, who was gradually coming to his prime, and Bynum in this time and space had long since known what it was to play with the ball under the basket because of a series of previous blows.
On the whole, he can only rely on Pau Gasol's hook hand to barely maintain the scoring threat under the basket......
And that's not all the Lakers' problems.
Kobe Bryant also seemed to struggle when he met Tony Allen, and he was not in good shape this season, and he actually had an embarrassing situation of only scoring 2 points in a single quarter......
The Lakers' only advantage is Deron Williams at the No. 1 spot.
Mike Conley is limited by his height and can't stop this guy's strong ball-handling spurs.
Deron Williams has the pleasure of beating Paul......
But it's different, Mike Conley learned the "crotch dribble break" with "Bug" Hardaway for two years, and this season he finally honed this trick to a mastery level.
Several times he faced DeLong and gave his own response.
The score was 90-85.
It was the Grizzlies who scored 90 points and the Lakers who scored 85 points......
Yes, the Grizzlies took the lead in the first win of the series.
One by one, the experts from the outside world showed expressions of "sure enough".
Popovich's legs trembled when he heard the Grizzlies win the first game of the series against the Lakers. Last season's "Black Eight Shadow" is still haunting his heart at the moment.
Originally, when he saw the Grizzlies play the Lakers in the first round, he was still relieved......
What a fart!
These two teams, no matter who he meets in the second round, he thinks it is very difficult to play!
Of course, if he insists on choosing a team, now he would rather choose the Lakers than the Grizzlies, so what is the "black and white bear"!
Can the NBA issue a notice banning large bears from the playoffs?
As a result, the Grizzlies actually won the first game of the series......
This Nima!
To say that the Lakers lost to the Grizzlies was expected by some bricks......
Then the game between the Nets and the Magic team was a bit unexpected by these bricks......
The eventual winners, and they were right, are indeed the Magic team that is more likely to advance.
But the problem is that the Magic won too easily.
It opened up by 15 points in the first half, and the difference in the third quarter was 20 points. In the end, the Magic defeated the Nets by 110-90, 20 points.
20 points to win......
It's like some brick houses shouting that "house prices are going to fall" that day, and as a result, house prices did fall, but what they didn't expect was:
House prices have fallen, and no one is buying a house!
The unilateral abuse of the Magic team made the outside world once again raise the combat effectiveness of this magic team.
But in the opinion of Paul Pearce......
The Magic team is like that, mainly in the Nets, there is a traitor!
Why does this Nima's Chris Paul always want to rely on him to lead the team and chase the difference back?
This damn ball really doesn't go out!
Li Wan also watched the game, and he was really not surprised by Chris Paul's handling at the critical moment.
Even when he saw Paul Pearce's flushed face, he wanted to pat him on the shoulder and say to him:
That's where it is!
Later, in the Western Conference finals, in a game between the Warriors and the Rockets series, Harden gradually chased back the point difference by relying on singles and desperate work. At that time, he pulled the team to play against the Warriors, and as a result, the score difference was sent back completely.
Transferred to the Suns, the only Finals of his career is not much to say, Booker's eyes are full of tears.
"Paoluo" has no doubt about his obsession with victory, but in his eyes, it must be the victory that he takes the lead in solving the problem to call it victory......
Isn't this a kind of PUA for teammates?
Therefore, some players can't win the championship, it's really not a matter of strength......
Howard, who won the game happily, was very happy after the game, but when the reporter mentioned Li Wan, his expression unconsciously became serious: "We are still on the way!" ”
Before defeating Li Wan, any victory is not a victory......
On April 19, the other four sets of duels began.
The league has announced this season's "Sixth Man of the Year Award."
Jamal Crawford has won this award once again.
That night, he also proved himself as the "first man on the bench in the league" in the "garbage time" between the New York Knicks and the Hawks.
Well......
"Garbage time"!
Facing the Hawks, who lost the "Hawk King", the Knicks were "boiled" to death before the Knicks could exert their strength.
120-90, and finally the Knicks beat the Hawks by 30 points.
It's not a game yet......
In the next three games of the series, the New York Knicks easily defeated the Hawks by 25~30 points in each game. The loss was so miserable that even the media in Atlanta couldn't help but post an inquiry:
"What the hell are we doing wrong?"
Speaking of which, this is also the pot of the east......
After Joe Johnson was traded, the Hawks went on and off in the late stages of All-Star Weekend and were undefeated.
The final win was only 30.
This would never have been able to make the playoffs in previous years.
But the "giant era", coupled with the general environment in the East, led to this team that could not reach the playoff level at all, and finally ranked eighth in the East.
Suffered a brutal massacre!
But in Barkley's view, the Hawks really have to thank Leewan for showing mercy to the Knicks: "If the Knicks wanted to embarrass Atalanta, they wouldn't have won by 30 points per game......
Really......
Special angles!
The New York Times immediately reported Barkley's remarks, yes, yes, yes, you can talk, you just say more, they have never thought Barkley spoke so well!
April 24th.
Atlanta.
Home of the Eagles.
When a shrill beep sounds.
The score was fixed at 132-98, and the Knicks won by 34 points again.
But the Hawks players on the field and the Atlanta fans in the audience had no frustration on their faces at all, they were all relieved......
4-0!
After losing this game, they finally don't have to continue to play the playoffs with the New York Knicks!
Being abused like this shows how manic the New York Knicks are in this series.
In 4 games, Li Wan averaged 35.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 14.5 assists per game, in addition to 1.8 steals and 1.4 blocks, shooting 55.5% from the field, 45% from three-point range, and 88.9% from the free throw line!
In a nutshell:
Kill crazy!
And he's not the only one who kills the whole Knicks.
Ray Allen averaged 4 three-pointers per game in this series, scoring 16.5 points per game, which felt like going back to 11 years, and Lewis also went back to his best two years in the series, averaging 17 points per game, two of which were 50 percent three-point shooting!
In this series, when he shot outside the three-point line, the biggest feeling for fans was two words:
Pregnant!
That's it!
Even Artest averaged 1.5 three-pointers per game, which shows how fierce the New York Knicks' firepower was in the first round of the playoffs......
ESPN bluntly said: "After a season of running-in, the Knicks officially began to show their offensive firepower!" ”
"The Bleachers": "The playoffs are just the beginning, and the defending champions are on the offensive end, which makes the league scared!" ”
The New York Times is:
"Defending champion, New York is ready!"
However, the New York Knicks are not the first team to emerge from the playoffs this year.
The Thunder, who started the series a day earlier, were the first team to reach the second round of the series this season, knocking out the Trail Blazers with Aldridge and Oden 4-0.
Kevin Durant averaged 33.5 points and 7 rebounds per game in this series, Westbrook averaged 24.5 points and 7 assists per game, James Harden averaged 18.5 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game, and Yombaka 12 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks......
In the third year of the "Thunder Four Youths" partnering together, they are like ripe peaches, salivating and covetous.
The management of the Thunder team was also pulled out at this and blew it wildly.
This ability to draft, as well as the ability to develop rookies, is amazing......
Some people may want to say that the ability to draft can be cultivated, and the ability to cultivate rookies can be cultivated......
Didn't they just give up their records and run with them for three years, which is also called the ability to cultivate rookies?
Who can't do this!
But......
Just look at Minnesota, there is a difference between running and running!
In addition to the Thunder, who advanced to the second round of the playoffs with a score of 4-0, the other three groups that started a day earlier now have the scores are: the Magic leads the Nets 3-1; The Lakers drew 2-2 with the Grizzlies; The Bulls lead the Philadelphia 76ers 3-1;
The other 4 groups of matchups played on the same day as the New York Knicks, the current big scores are: the Heat drew 2-2 with the Indiana Pacers; Spurs lead Jazz 3-1; The Clippers lead the Mavericks 3-1;
During this time, the league has announced the "Most Improved Player Award", "Best Head Coach Award" and "Best General Manager" one after another:
The "Most Improved Player Award" belongs to Lane Anderson of the Magic team, Anderson, who averaged 10.6 points per game last season, has soared to 16.6 points per game this season, which also makes him have no resistance to win the "civilian MVP award".
The "Best Coach Award" goes to Greg Popovich......
As the Spurs finished the regular season at the top of the regular season and ended the season with a 65-17 record, Popovich's momentum for the award was getting bigger and bigger, and he got his wish and became the "best coach" of the season.
This is the second time in his entire coaching career that he has won this award.
On the afternoon of the award, he continued to emphasize the "team" and the "team culture" of "abandoning the limelight" to the Spurs players, and Leonard looked at the "Best Coach" trophy in his hand and laughed in his heart.
Now his heart is the same as what the pig demon in Langlang Mountain thinks:
I want to leave San Antonio.
The "best general manager" belongs to "Lord Belle".
As soon as Elgin Baylor received the award, he held a press conference.
Scold~
I'm going to see now, who would dare to say I don't know how to play!
April 25th.
The Nets and Magic are in Game 5 of the series.
With their lives hanging by a thread, the Nets, standing on the edge of the cliff, returned to their home court.
It can be seen from the expressions of the starters before the game that they are nervous.
Fortunately, these people are not just debuting chicks, even if they are Da Luo, they are now third-year rookies, and they played in the Eastern Conference semifinals last year, experienced defeats, and have experience.
It's a pity that after 4 games, the Magic team is more familiar with their defense, and the offensive end penetrates very quickly, and after the first quarter, the lead is almost 10 points.
Chris Paul at this time, started his "journey of self-redemption" again, which you can also understand as:
My life is up to me.
And as he goes farther and farther on the road of "self-redemption", the Nets are getting farther and farther away from victory.
Paul Pearce once again crossed his waist and watched the score difference get bigger and bigger, and finally couldn't help it and dropped the white towel. Chris Paul saw that his teammates were in a mood, and hurriedly went up to comfort:
"Don't give up, buddy, we still have a chance, play our stuff out, trust me, we're going to win......"
As he spoke, he stretched out his fist and wanted to punch Paul Pearce.
Pierce looked at his determined eyes and listened to him continue: "I've already figured out our tactics for a while, according to what I said...... We're going to win! ”
Win you MGB!
"Smack!"
When Pierce heard this, he finally couldn't help it and slapped Paul's fist off.
This scene frightened the reporters on the sidelines, and they immediately pointed their cameras at the two people, but if they looked at Kevin Garnett next to them at this time, they would find that the face of the "Wolf King" was full of calm.
Not only was he not surprised, but he also showed an expression of "sure enough, I knew", obviously, he had known for a long time that this day would come.
Chris Paul looked at it with a shocked face, as if he didn't expect that his "cannon slave", no, his brother, would dare to slap his hand off.
Scold~
Another one who doesn't want to win!
The conversation between the two Pauls was terminated.
The Magic team, who noticed this scene, became more and more motivated, and the next wave of 10-2 scoring waves, the Magic team successfully bulldozed the Nets' base.
With a score of 4-1, the Magic team completed the "following gram".
The next semi-finals......
The opponent they are going to meet is none other than the New York Knicks, who advanced a day earlier than them!
Howard meets Li Wan again!
Reporters surrounded Howard after the game and asked him if he was confident of beating Li Wan this time.
"Warcraft" replied in the affirmative, and of course he explained the reason why he was so confident: "I don't have confidence in myself, I have confidence in my teammates, I have a bunch of very good teammates, and I believe that this time the result will be different!" ”
It is worth mentioning that Olam Multimedia is also very confident this time.
The Knicks won an average of 27.5 points per game in the first round, which is certainly fierce, but the Magic can also win about 15.4 points per game in five games against the Nets, considering that their opponent is the Nets, who are fourth in the East, and the Knicks' opponent is the Hawks, who are eighth in the East and have only 30 wins......
Others don't know, anyway, in the eyes of Orlan Multimedia, this average of 15.4 points is about equal to the New York Knicks' average of 27.5 points per game!
And Howard's average in this series is a horrific 25.4 points, 14.4 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks, which is such a performance......
Let Oran Multimedia believe that Howard has ushered in his true peak.
The evening breeze of the "traditional era" has not been completely dried, and the current alliance still circulates the saying that "those who have the inside line win the world", so ......
The Magic may really be able to beat the New York Knicks this time!

Tyson Chandler became the final winner of the "Best Defensive Player Award" of the season with 35% of the vote.
