On May 7, the Magic team defeated the Eagles 105-85 at home, and the total score came to 2:0.

In fact, this is also true.

Things didn't change when the game came to Atlanta, the home of the Hawks, and the Hawks, like the Pistons, were powerless against the Magic, who couldn't stop Wang from scoring or how to deal with Howard's defense.

97:82, 110:99, two away games, two crisp wins, the overall score is 4:0, the Magic team staged another sweep, sending the Eagles home.

In the face of the Magic's defense, the Hawks averaged only 84.5 points per game in four games, far below the average of the regular season, and several key players in the team, Hawk King Joe Johnson averaged 15 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game in 4 games, shooting 41.9% from the field.

Al. Horford is even more exaggerated, playing an average of 27 minutes per game, but only 3.3 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, with a shooting rate of 33%, which was completely blown out by Howard.

The only one who played a little better was power forward Josh. Smith, as the famous spring man, Josh. Smith's strength, bounce and other aspects are better than Wang Chao, and the gap with Wang Chao in terms of speed is not very large, and Wang Chao's defense is still more difficult.

But even so, because there is still Howard on the inside, Josh. Smith also only averaged 18.5 points and 5 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage of 42% was not high.

In contrast, the Magic team's super magic combination can be described as perfect.

The game with the Hawks was Howard's show time, and when he unilaterally pressed Horford's hammer, Howard averaged a big double-double of 25.4 points and 16.4 rebounds per game in four games, while also sending 2.9 blocks, showing his dominance under the basket.

Whether it is four games with the Pistons or four games with the Hawks, Wang Chao's performance is as stable as an old dog as always, although the average score per game has dropped significantly compared with the regular season, with an average score of only about 28.6 points per game, but this is not a decline in Wang Chao's scoring ability, but the Pistons and the Hawks are too indifferent, and they don't need Wang Chao to shoot, and the two teams can't bear the defeat.

"Swept the Hawks 4-0, the Orlando Magic swept the opponent for the second time in the playoffs, and the Super Magic combination showed a more dominant competitive state than the regular season, aiming for the championship!"

"The Super Devil Combo averaged 54 points, 20 rebounds and 7 assists per game, can anyone else in the league stop them?"

"Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, advance to the Magic team of the Eastern Finals early, and wait for the bloody battle between the Cavaliers and the Celtics!"

The advantage in terms of record and playoff standings is vividly reflected in this moment.

While the Magic ended the division semifinals early and began to rest and prepare for the Eastern Conference finals, the Cavaliers and Celtics were still in the middle of a battle on the other side.

Both teams have won their own home games, and the current battle is 2-2, and the next game is the key battle of Tianwang Mountain on the home court of the Cavaliers.

In the first four games, James averaged 38.5 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists per game, and in addition to James, only Mo Williams and Delonte West could score double-digit points consistently.

On the Celtics side, Pierce averaged 19.2 points per game, Ray Allen scored 13.4 points, Garnett 14 points and 9 rebounds, and the three of them combined to score 46.6 points, plus Rondo, who averaged 14 points, 8.8 rebounds and 9.4 assists per game, to draw with the Cavaliers.

The battle between the Cavaliers and the Celtics has long been beyond the cognition of Wang Chao as a traverser.

According to the original course of history, Garnett should have been injured not long after the All-Star break, and a torn ligament in his right knee was reimbursed for the season, which was the main reason why the Green Army had a bumpy road in the playoffs and lost to the Magic in the division semifinals.

But perhaps because of the butterfly effect, Garnett did not suffer that crucial serious injury, but he also suffered some small injuries, and his form was obviously affected, although he was still selected for the best defensive team this season, but he did not make the best team.

No matter how much Garnett's state is affected by injuries, the Big Three are stronger than the original two giants, after all, the final result of the Three Heroes against Lu Bu is also Lu Bu's defeat and escape.

On May 12, at the home court of the Cavaliers, the Celtics defeated the Cavaliers 92-88 in the crucial battle of Tianwang Mountain, and won the match point 3-2.

In this game, James can be said to have tried his best, slashing 49 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists in the whole game, and almost scored 50 points, but the other players of the Cavaliers pulled their hips collectively, and everyone together only scored 39 points.

On the Celtics' side, Garnett finally found some form, chipped in 22 points and 7 rebounds, along with Pierce with 19 points and Ray with 13 points. Allen won the crucial match.

Subsequently, although in the G6 game, the unwilling Cavaliers stubbornly pulled back a city in Boston, the territory of the Green Army, and James cut a big triple-double of 40+10+10, tying the score to a 3:3 draw, but in the final tie-break, the Celtics were superior, and the Big Three plus Ron scored 80 points, defeated the Cavaliers, and successfully entered the Eastern Finals.

When the seventh game ended, James was confused.

Defeated by the Celtic triumvirate for two consecutive seasons, it once made the Chosen One doubt his life.

When he first led the team to the Finals in the 06-07 season, James once thought that the future was really his, although the guy who said this was a bit of a thing......

But who would have thought that in the next two seasons, the Cavaliers would not even be able to enter the Eastern Conference Finals?

Think back carefully, the Phoenix Suns who beat him in the 06-07 season were actually a Big Three configuration at that time, Nash, Stoudemire and Wang Chao are definitely giants, and the configuration is no worse than the current Celtics.

At this moment, James felt as if he had realized something, watching the Big Three high-five each other and celebrate the Green Army's entry into the East Showdown.

At this time, the Celtics Big Three may never have dreamed of what kind of impact their combination will have on James's young mind, and it is not surprising that the Green Army will still defeat the Cavaliers 4-2 in the division semifinals next year and beat James.

But in 10 years, the sky in the east will change.

With the announcement of James' decision one, there is only one leader left in the East, and that is the Miami Heat.

In the 10-11 season and the 11-12 season, the Celtics Big Three fell in front of the Heat Big Three twice in a row, and finally completely disbanded because the Big Three were too old, which is called one report and one report.

Of course, because of Wang Chao, the current situation in the league is very different from the original history, the Celtics have not won the championship for the time being, far from being successful, James will follow the example of the Green Army Big Three to take a shortcut to form a Big Three combination to compete for the championship, Wang Chao is not sure, in his opinion, the probability is about 7 percent, James is an egoist after all, he knows very well what he needs, and in what way he can better achieve his goals.

Wang Chao believes that James should not let him down.

……

The Celtics eliminated the Cavaliers 4-3 to enter the Eastern Conference finals, and the Eastern Conference finals were the Orlando Magic vs Boston Celtics matchup, exactly the same as last season.

And on the western side, an extremely tragic battle was also staged.

The Lakers easily eliminated the Jazz 4-1 in the first round to reach the division semifinals, but their opponent in the division semifinals was not easy to mess with, as it was the Houston Rockets who defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 4-2.

Although the Rockets' main scoring core Maddie was reimbursed for the season due to injury, Da Yao and Lewis were very strong, Da Yao was selected for the best second team in the regular season 20+10, and Lewis can also contribute 17 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game this season, plus the Rockets have a number of outstanding players who have emerged because of Maddy's injury this season, such as Brooks, Scola, Landry, Battier and others, and they are really inseparable from the complete Lakers.

Among them, Da Yao is particularly active, like Garnett, Da Yao also ate the butterfly effect dividend brought by Wang Chao's crossing, and he did not suffer a major injury in 07, and his attendance this season is also guaranteed.

What worries Wang Chao the most is that he was injured in the first game of the semifinals with the Lakers, but he insisted on playing with an injury, scoring a team-high 28 points and 10 rebounds to lead the team to win the game, but it also laid the root of the injury, and finally before the start of the G4 game, his left foot was overwhelmed and fractured, and the season was reimbursed.

This injury directly affected Da Yao's career, after which Da Yao underwent a long period of a year of recuperation, and then returned in the 10-11 season, but this time Da Yao only played 5 games before being injured again and reimbursed for the season.

Soon after, Da Yao officially announced his retirement, and a generation of legendary Chinese stars came to an end.

For this reason, Wang Chao was very worried that Da Yao was really injured in the game.

But the game between the Lakers and the Rockets G1 ended in a victory for the Lakers, with Da Yao scoring 20 points and 8 rebounds, failing to prevent the team from losing, but he was not injured because of Kobe, which was a blessing in disguise.

Da Yao, who was uninjured and lightly injured, became more and more courageous in the next few games, making it difficult for the Lakers to parry inside.

Whether it's Bynum, the little shark who hasn't yet become a climate, or Paul. Gasol couldn't carry Da Yao at all on the inside, and it was also thanks to Kobe Bryant's absolute dominance on the outside, which allowed the two teams to fight for seven games, and in the final tie-break, Kobe Bryant slashed 32 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, almost single-handedly defeating the Rockets and helping the Lakers advance to the Western Conference finals.

The tenacious Rockets really surprised the Los Angeles fans in a cold sweat, the Lakers are the defending champions, and they are also the top of the West, with 66 wins in the regular season, including the overall strength of the lineup is obviously stronger than the Rockets.

But the Rockets have a healthy big Yao and can average 24 points and 9.4 rebounds per game in seven games, which is a testament to how important a super center is in the playoffs.

The Lakers, who eliminated the Rockets, advanced to the Western Conference Finals against the Denver Nuggets, who defeated the Dallas Mavericks 4-1.

The Nuggets' ability to reach the Western Conference Finals also came as a surprise to many, and it turned out that the Nuggets were right to trade Iverson for Billups.

Although Billups can't compare to Iverson in terms of scoring ability and the number of fans, the strength of this often underrated FMVP is unquestionable.

This season, Billups has done a good job of stringing the Nuggets together, not only making Cameron . Anthony played the best playoff performance of his career so far, averaging 27 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and also allowed the individual abilities of players such as JR Smith, Kenyon Martin, and Nene to play.

Even Billups himself entered the playoffs, averaging 20 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists per game.

It's just that the Nuggets vs. the Lakers, no one thinks they can win, after all, the difference in strength between the two teams is too great, and while the outside line does not have much advantage, the Nuggets are at a huge disadvantage on the inside.

Not surprisingly, the Lakers will soon beat the Nuggets to reach the Finals for the second year in a row and chase two straight championships.

In contrast, the East Final is still very difficult to judge.

Last season, the Magic narrowly beat the Celtics, but at the time, most people generally thought that the Green Army were the better team, and the loss was just a little bit of bad luck, plus the elevator door tactics were too buggy and the referees turned a blind eye.

But after a year, the two teams meet again in the Eastern Conference Finals, and the situation is different.

After a season's baptism, Wang Chao has grown from a first-class scorer who averaged 26.9 points per game last season to a super scorer who averaged 32.6 points per game.

This is inevitable, by 2009, the age of the three giants of the Green Army has reached 34 years old, 33 years old and 32 years old, although this age group is not completely devoid of combat effectiveness, but whether it is physical condition or competitive level, compared with the peak period is bound to be slightly inferior.

It's hard to say whether the Celtics are still the Magic's opponents.

Even if you consider it from other aspects, the two teams have met four times in the regular season, and the Celtics have a psychological advantage of 3-1, but the Magic team has a home-court advantage in the Eastern Conference Finals, and it is also difficult to judge the advantages and disadvantages.

Therefore, the matchup between the two teams can only be divided after the game really begins.

……

Before the Eastern and Western finals begin, the league announced the results of the season's awards.

There is no surprise, James was elected the MVP of the 08-09 regular season, winning the award for the first time in his career, and in the voting results released by the league, he received 29% of the votes, successfully defeating a number of strong opponents to stand out.

Wang Chao's vote rate ranked second, and his 27% vote rate was not much lower than James's, which can be said to be a pity to lose to his opponent.

This is somewhat unexpected by Wang Chao, according to his thoughts, with James's influence in the media in the United States, he is quite disadvantageous in this kind of voting without the participation of Chinese journalists.

But now it seems that there are not many reporters who support him compared to James, so in this case, as long as Wang Chao can continue to play an efficient season performance in the next few seasons, the first regular season MVP of his career should come soon.

James and Wang Chao, followed by Kobe Bryant, Wade, both of them have a vote rate of about 15%, and the former has a big gap, and then Wang Chao's partner Howard, he got 9% of the votes, don't underestimate the 9% of the votes, plus Howard's votes, the total number of votes of the top five players on the regular season MVP list has reached 95%, and the remaining players can only share the remaining 5%, for example, Paul, who ranks sixth, only has 1.7% of the votes.

Wang Chao failed to be elected All-Star MVP, although many Chinese fans were dissatisfied, but just like the best team, once the voting results of the award are announced, there is no possibility of change, and rational analysis, James did contribute more to the team in the regular season than Wang Chao, otherwise the Magic team would not have two players ranked in the top five of the MVP list.

Corresponding to Wang Chao, Howard was elected the best defensive player without any suspense.

The award could only be Howard's, especially with Garnett's stats declining and fewer regular season appearances, and no other player in the league can compete with Howard defensively.

The Rookie of the Year was won by Derrick Rose, who averaged 16.8 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists per game.

The winner of the Most Improved Player award is Danny Granger, who averaged 25.8 points, 5 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game this season.

The best sixth man is Jason of the Mavericks. Terry......

The announcement of the results of the season awards means that all the awards in the regular season are over, and the remaining awards in the next 08-09 season are only the champions of the East and West, and who will win the final championship.
