Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Dust Has Settled, The Troika of the Sun! (10,000-word chapter, kneeling for subscriptions, monthly passes!) )

On March 1, the NBA officially announced the list of winners of the major awards in February.

With the team's outstanding performance in February, Iverson was named the Western Conference's Player of the Month for the fourth time this season.

The Player of the Month award in the East was won by Pau Gasol.

In February, Gasol, who led the Wizards to a seven-game winning streak, averaged 22.8 points, 11.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game.

In the market, many Wizards fans are complaining that Rivers was not fired by the team after February, and Gasol had to be given a knock.

In addition, there is still no change to the Eastern and Western Rookie of the Month in February, and James and Anthony have teamed up to dominate the list for five months.

……

On the evening of the 1st.

On the plane where the team left for Cleveland to play against the Cavaliers on the 2nd, while his teammates were sleeping, he saw a sturdy seven-foot guy suddenly appear in front of Wang Shuo.

"Boss...... In the next game, can you let me play a little longer? Looking at Wang Shuo, Chandler said.

Wang Shuo was happy and said, "Tyson, can you tell me the reason?" ”

Chandler probably gave Wang Shuo a brief explanation of his reasoning.

Just like the famous generals of the ancient Wei State wanted to buy real estate in Yecheng, they couldn't go to the western front to send their heads, but had to go to Hefei on the eastern front to brush up on military merits.

This season, although under Wang Shuo, the 21-year-old Chandler's statistics have risen to an average of 9.8 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks per game, basically taking off the hat of "parallel import", but because Chandler's biggest contribution on the court is on the defensive end, there are still many fans who only look at the data and don't buy him.

As a result, Chandler is desperate to prove that he deserves the 2001 No. 1 robe title by playing a few career masterpieces.

In order to achieve this goal, Chandler's agent also told him that he had to seize the opportunity when facing opponents who brought their own traffic and were easier to bully.

This season, the Suns have already played the Cavaliers once.

To this day, Chandler can't forget the praise he received after the game.

So, on this trip to Cleveland, Chandler is very keen to replicate the team's performance in the first game against the Cavaliers.

After listening to Chandler's reasoning, Wang Shuo smiled and said: "In the next game, you pay more attention to Allen's breakthrough, and I will let Allen pass you as much as possible."

In addition, I will also arrange for Amare and Sean to help you get a lot of rebounds on the court. ”

Chandler didn't expect Wang Shuo to "spoil" himself so much.

He was suddenly smiling, and when he returned to his seat to sleep, he even danced excitedly.

On the evening of the 2nd, Cleveland, Quick Loan Center Arena.

With the end of the warm-up of the players of the two teams on the field, the big screen on the scene also immediately gave the starting list of the two teams tonight:

Cavaliers: Big Z, Boozer, James, Eric Williams, McGinnis.

Suns: Chandler, Jr., Marion, Bale, Iverson.

In the center of the court, after the jump ball, the sun has the ball.

Tonight, Malone learned from the experience of the last time he played against the Suns, and honestly put out a starting lineup that could at least superficially make a slight move against the Suns.

But as one of Iverson's favorite opponents in his career......

In Wang Shuo's memory, in the face of McGinnis's "answer" of averaging 31.7 points per game in his career, as soon as he came up, he used a dashing crossover to take the retreat combo, which attracted bursts of exclamations from the fans at the scene.

In Wang Shuo's opinion, if it weren't for the future "Ou Shenxian" who didn't have the confidence to complete the tuning of him, then he really wanted to coach all these players with cool style.

There is no other reason.

It's just that in Wang Shuo's eyes, watching this group of people play is really a pleasure.

At the top of the arc, after shaking McGinnis down, Iverson burst into the penalty area and threw the ball high into the sky the moment he noticed that the big Z was coming.

Seeing this, TNT TV, Smith, who had just performed a "hot dance" in front of a national audience not long ago, exclaimed: "Phoenix in the sky brought their talent to Cleveland!" ”

Bang Dang——!

At this time, the big Z, the front frame and the low position are okay.

But if you ask him to help defend and compete with the Suns' group of inside bouncing men, then you are obviously embarrassing him.

In the penalty area, Chandler hit a dunk in the air!

2 to 0.

Coming back, the knights attacked.

Perhaps inspired by Iverson's handsome assist that he didn't have a friend......

High post, after coming around to catch the ball, James, who intends to prove himself to the world in tonight's national live game, also showed his combo:

After dribbling the ball under his crotch for the first time, passing the ball through the crotch with a little difficulty, James wanted to dribble under the crotch again to prove that he was just an accident, and this time he almost didn't send the ball from the crotch.

Seeing that the crotch dribble show was not smooth, James decisively sacrificed his Crossover, ready to pass Marion directly after speeding up, but, because he failed to master the strength of the racket, his in-situ fancy dribble show was a "hacker" who stood in front of him stupidly and did not move a single step.

Marion said he couldn't understand James, but at this moment, his heart was shocked.

Especially after James "showed" for five or six seconds, Marion never expected that he would be able to pass the ball back to his teammates without blushing and heartbeat.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

What-Are-You?

The last time he played the Suns, because James's movements were quite "concise and clear", he did not expose too many facts about his poor basic skills on the court at that time.

But this time, in front of his hometown fathers, James, who was bent on proving himself, gave people a hard job as soon as he came up.

The knight's attack, which was taken over by Boozer, failed to succeed.

Under the basket, Chandler, who quickly picked up the rebound, immediately gave the ball to Iverson.

When dribbling past half court, Iverson slowed down in acceleration, accelerated in deceleration, changed hands behind his back to dribble, and a crossover in a shift, while waiting for Chandler to follow up with a fast break, also washed the eyes of the fans who had just been blinded by the heat in front of the TV.

Although Wang Shuo has seen a lot of Iverson's fast-break highlights during the 76ers period in his previous life, this season, this "183" can indeed refresh Wang Shuo's cognition of dribbling technology every night.

Bang Dang——!

On the court, after Iverson successfully attracted the attention of the Cavaliers' defense, Chandler, who ran to the Cavaliers' half before Big Z, followed up with a dunk hit!

4 to 0.

Knights ball possession.

James, who forcibly used his "overlord color" domineering to shock the home fans, making the scene not so embarrassing, learned smart this time.

After leaning on Marion with his body, he dribbled all the way forward, and then took advantage of Marion's inattention, and suddenly pulled onions on the dry ground!

This goal, Marion was shocked again!

Because he deliberately put James into the inside, he never expected that in this world, there would be someone who could compete with him in shooting posture.

James, who made a quick stop jump shot in the acceleration, the picture that came to mind at this moment was probably the scene of Boss Joe's "".

But in reality:

On the sky, I saw this black flat-headed guy who could be as old as Einby, while his legs were skimmed into a huge figure-of-eight, he seemed to throw the basketball to the basket of the Suns half.

When ——!

Under the sun's basket, Chandler picked another board!

Come back.

Iverson dribbled all the way to the Cavaliers, and after bursting into the heart of the Cavaliers, he used his trademark jump step to get rid of defenders while making a really handsome and dashing pull-up jump shot, which made the fans in front of the television tonight feel what a technical gap is.

It is true that Iverson's passing, luck, and casting are compared with the young Jen at this time.

It is really a dimensionality reduction blow.

But as the "pride of the sky", you James can't wait for Klay Thompson to enter the league in the future and compete with Klay on the dribble, right?

You must know that as the future "dribbling master" of the NBA, Klay's dribbling is something that even ordinary basketball fans are confident to play better than him.

On the court, looking back, James, who did not perform well in "luck and throwing", fully showed his "big picture" this time.

After methodically controlling the thunder and lightning in the high post for a long time, with a snap, the quick-eyed James immediately passed the ball to Tyson Chandler, who had run to the empty position, with a blow pass!

Huh?

Chandler?

Isn't this the center of the Suns?

In Wang Shuo's previous life, James averaged nearly 4 mistakes per game in his career, which is not to say that his passing is not good, mainly because the teammates around James are "CBA" most of the time and cannot understand the true meaning of his passing.

Chandler successfully anticipated Boozer's intentions and intercepted the pass with his long arm.

Iverson took the initiative to run to Chandler's side to catch the ball and motioned with his eyes to hurry down.

At this moment, the attention of the Cavaliers players was attracted by Iverson and Chandler, but who would have thought that Iverson's "183" would actually repair the plank road openly and secretly Chen Cang?

On the field, looking at Marion, who had already rushed to the Cavaliers' half, Iverson suddenly sent a long blow across the half!

This scalpel-like pass, while finding Marion with unmistakable accuracy, also showed the world how good Iverson, a quarterback-turned-turned-athlete, has a great vision when he is willing to feed his teammates!

Marion gets the ball and hits with a one-handed smash!

In front of the technical table, seeing this, Ma Long hurriedly took a timeout, escorted by King Qin.

After the pause returned, the game resumed.

Iverson, who wanted to feed the "boxing king" a few more times tonight, fully showed his "scumbag" side in the next fight.

Noting that Marion could always cut to the basket without the ball, Iverson connected with Marion several times in this quarter.

This kind of assist data is really difficult for Iverson, who aims to hit the "scoring king + assist king" this season.

Compared with the "full Zhan" in Wang Shuo's memory, relying on his body, the young Zhan's performance this season is not bad when defending the opponent's players.

But in the face of Marion's off-ball empty run, young Zhan is easy to leak.

This is a common mistake that most high school players make in their rookie season.

Because they have not received the baptism of college basketball, many high school players rely on physical instinct to defend in their rookie season.

"It's weird, didn't Mike teach LeBron this?" On the Suns' bench, Mike Brown asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Hearing this, Wang Shuo immediately turned his gaze to the knight bench.

And then......

He saw Mike Malone's helpless eyes.

At this moment, Wang Shuo's intuition told him:

- Mike Malone will have to come back to assist him sooner or later.

On the court, the first quarter ended, 37-18.

TNT, Smith, who was far less enjoyable to work with his new partner than he was with Barkley, was nostalgic for the dead flying pig after tonight's first quarter.

Because in the case of this all-American live broadcast of the game as soon as it came up......

In the next three quarters of the game, you can't let him speak stand-up comedy alone, right?

In the second quarter, Wang Shuo left Chandler on the court and sent Knight, who is better at assisting, to serve as the team's playmaker.

In this section, Chandler fully felt what it means to "have too much bread to eat."

Although the Suns couldn't trade Pennies before the trade deadline, you can't deny that Pennies is a swingman who can play, pass.

Plus the "French magician" Dior......

Right now, on the court, with the exception of Horry Sr., who is responsible for opening up space for Chandler, the Suns have three players who are good at passing.

In this quarter, in order to chase points, Malone left James on the court.

But James, who thought that after doing his homework tonight, would be able to show a completely different performance in the face of the Suns' second lineup than the last time, he never expected that this defense line that Wade and Anthony could easily break through, he didn't have any way to deal with it!

Of course it can't be.

Although without the "HC" rule, it is impossible for Dio to block James' breakthrough every attack.

But tonight, Chandler, who only has "LeBron brother" in his eyes, is always waiting for James on the inside.

Young Zhan's lack of threat in mid-to-long-range shooting, coupled with the help of "pennies", often chooses to watch from the air and randomly pick a teammate to pass the ball after breaking in.

On the other hand, Wade and Anthony, these two brothers had a certain degree of technical completion before entering the NBA.

In the future, the Maverick defense line that "Brother LeBron" also can't solve, the reason why Wade can hold the "Adou" who is crying and making trouble and wants to grab the right to fight for the military is because of his unpredictable and unpredictable steps.

Chandler was never afraid to go head-to-head with him.

I'm afraid that you use speed changes and feints to bully his CPU and not work.

As for Anthony......

As an "offensive kaleidoscope", does Anthony need to go head-to-head with Chandler?

Far away, he can pull out his hand.

Within the Cavaliers, James relied on eating a lot of resources, and of course he could play better statistics than Wade and Anthony.

But you must know that in the 03/04 season, the Heat and the Nuggets are both teams that have the potential to hit the playoffs.

If Wang Shuo remembers correctly, historically, this season the Heat is fourth in the East, while the Nuggets are eighth in the West.

Anthony at the Nuggets is in a slightly better situation, because of his high technical completion, so the team is willing to let him lead the team.

And Wade in the Heat has not yet developed a mid-range shot at this time, so it is impossible for the Heat to affect the team's record in order to brush data for him.

In the future, some will often excuse James with Wade and Anthony teammates in their rookie season being better than James.

But in fact, the Cavaliers, Nuggets, and Heat, the three teams that were all rotten in the 02/03 season, can only be said to be evenly matched in terms of lineups.

Wade's rookie season featured Odom and Eddie Jones, who had just finished their rookie contract and were poached by Riley.

Anthony had Andre Miller, Woshan Leonard, Nene Hilario in his rookie season.

In addition to Ricky Davis in James' rookie season, he also has Big Z and Boozer.

Mike Malone previously judged the Cavaliers' strength on paper and believed that there was nothing wrong with the Cavaliers' perception that they would have a chance to make the playoffs in the 03/04 season.

Because as the overall strength of the East and West continues to grow, Wang Shuo remembers correctly, the Heat, who have played 42-40 this season, will be able to rank fourth in the East.

But in order to package this "pride of the sky", the Cavaliers are destined to only accept the fate of becoming "CBA players" in the future.

On the court, the second quarter ended, 72-38.

When Ma Long, who was like ashes, returned to the locker room at halftime, he did not complain that Wang Shuo was too ruthless tonight.

Because he knows Wang Shuo and this sun very well......

In fact, the Suns are already retaining their strength tonight.

At this time, looking at his son's dejected face, old Malone couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Mike, I know you have a lot of ambitions, and I know that you learned a lot from Wang Shuo in Washington, D.C., and I know that your talent is more than that.

But that's the NBA! My silly son!

"It's a good thing that the Cavaliers didn't pick me to coach last summer." On the Suns' side, Mike Brown, who felt that he had escaped by chance, sighed in his heart.

After the break, the two teams changed sides and fought again.

On this night, in addition to finding a confident Chandler again on the field......

An NBA champion coach before Wang Shuo's crossing, and the first full-voted best coach in NBA history before Wang Shuo's crossing, couldn't help but sigh about the damn fate on the sidelines.

Mike Malone didn't expect that he was still talking about it in the summer last year, and now he has "time is running out".

Mike Brown didn't expect him to be ignored last summer, but instead blessed by it.

In the second half of the game, Wang Shuo still saved some face for Mike Malone, except for letting Chandler brush up two more minutes of data in the fourth quarter, the other four main players of the Suns tonight did not play more than 28 minutes.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

In the end, 131 to 88.

In the whole game, Chandler, who scored a total of 19 points, 18 rebounds, 5 blocks, and 3 steals for the Suns, once again had the last laugh in this "champion matchup".

Iverson didn't score much in this game, and his mind was all on assists, totaling 22 points and 17 assists for his team.

Marion, who only played 25 minutes, also felt the warmth brought to him by James on this night, shooting 10-of-11 from the field and scoring 20 points for the Suns without free throws.

The only regret was that Marion missed a three-pointer in the third quarter and couldn't hit 100% from the field.

On the Cavaliers' side, in addition to Big Z and Boozer teaming up to contribute 40 points and 19 rebounds, in the game, James, who was able to dominate the "nine embarrassments" tonight, was "heroic" and scored 8 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 7 turnovers for the Cavaliers.

After the game, Mike Malone, who was in a bad mood, did not say much in an interview, but in front of reporters, he once again emphasized the importance of the need for young players to improve their basic skills.

"The reason why the league introduced the Skills Challenge is to let young players pay attention to the three basic skills of 'passing, dribbling and throwing'.

I think that in today's league, the physical gifts of young players far exceed those of their predecessors.

But when it comes to technology, they clearly don't pay the attention they deserve.

You know, during the Wizards period, even Michael Jordan would keep thinking about how to improve his skills during training. ”

Mike Malone did not name names, but at the press conference, everyone knew he meant something.

When Wang Shuo attended the press conference later, a reporter asked Wang Shuo if Coach Ma Long had broken the jar, but Wang Shuo, who was very clear about Ma Long's character, knew it......

I'm afraid that instead of throwing the pot, Malone really hopes that James can calm down and polish his skills.

"I don't have any opinion on that.

But I can share with you an interesting fact:

One day, when I was coaching with the Wizards, Michael Jordan suddenly ran up to me in a flash of interest and told me:

Hey, Wang, you know, I've recently found that when I'm leaning back against an opposing player with my shoulder, I can also use the ball carrier that I'm holding the ball, like this, and like this, and then do a feint.

At that time, after watching the tricks that Michael gave me to perform, in that moment, I thought:

Perhaps, this is the reason why Michael Jordan was able to win eight championships and become the first person in NBA history!

Because even though he was 40 years old when he performed this move for me, he was still exploring the endless possibilities of basketball. ”

At the press conference, listening to Wang Shuo's emotional speech, many reporters suddenly appeared in the minds of Jordan on the training ground, and the never-ending study of basketball appeared.

The next day, Wang Shuo and Ma Long's comments on the basic skills of today's young NBA players quickly attracted heated discussions.

In an interview, Larry Bird said, "I think Wang and Mike have seen the problems that exist in the league right now.

These young people today are undoubtedly very good young men.

But technically, to be honest, there are no more than five players that I can calm down and admire. ”

On the same day, in order to attract more young center forwards to pay the registration fee for him, Olajuwon also said: "I wonder why the current young center forwards do not know how to use their physical talents.

Take a look at the players who were beaten by Yao on the field and didn't know how to fight back!

I don't know if it's the sadness of basketball or the sadness of the NBA. ”

In addition, although the young Zhan, who has always shown himself as "humble", has not yet shown his ambition to try to surpass Jordan at this moment, on this day, as long as he can prevent young talents from surpassing himself, Jordan, who will never show mercy, also said in an interview: "I'm very happy, Wang and Mike still remember the glorious days when we fought side by side together.

At the same time, I agree with them.

I don't know if anyone in the NBA will surpass me in the future, but I'm very eager for that day to come.

However, the premise is that these young players must pay attention to their basic training.

To be honest, I can't imagine that in the NBA, there are players who can't even dribble under their crotch. ”

Danzi, who didn't mention a word and didn't leave every word, immediately reminded people of the embarrassing "fancy dribble" that made James in the game with the Suns.

To be reasonable, this Danzi really has a bad personality.

No wonder the young players of the future don't like him.

No wonder his future life will be so unsatisfactory.

In March, after a brief Cleveland happy hour, the Suns were in trouble.

As the competition in the West intensifies this year, everyone has come up with a desperate posture in advance, so this will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of winning for the Suns.

On the other hand, the eastern ......

"This is outrageous in the East!

Is there really no team in the East that can stop the Pistons in the slightest? Looking at the Pistons, who are currently leading the Eastern Conference with 17 wins, Wang Shuo was completely "desperate" on this day.

As of March 31, the Pistons, who lead the East and the league with 61 wins and 14 losses, have formed a "disconnection" trend with the Nets, who are ranked second in the East with 44 wins and 31 losses.

This year, Wang Shuo, who fully felt what it means to be "weak in the east and strong in the west" in the west, can be said to be extremely nostalgic for the group of rookies in the east.

In March, due to the different degrees of sniping from opponents in the same region, the Suns have basically lost the possibility of surpassing the Pistons to top the league before the end of the regular season.

After the March game, the Suns currently lead the Western Conference with 57 wins and 17 losses. (Note (1))

With only eight games left in the regular season, it is impossible to close the gap between the Pistons and the East and West......

Knowing that the Suns have only theoretically surpassed the Pistons, Wang Shuo decisively adjusted the focus of the Suns' game in the upcoming April.

Now, the Suns must prioritize making sure they're in full force ahead of the playoffs.

On the 2nd and 3rd, in the games against his old club Wizards at home and back-to-back games to challenge the Mavericks in Dallas, Wang Shuo chose to greatly reduce the playing time of the main players in the game on the night of the 3rd.

Right now, the "mad cow" is battling the Kings for fifth place in the West.

Although the old Nelson's team will not pit Wang Shuo in the game like Sima Bobo, in order to avoid accidents, Wang Shuo still decisively chose to preserve his strength.

On the 4th, 5th, back to back, and then the familiar Utah Plateau and the current Kings who want to keep the fifth place in the West at all costs.

On the 4th, in Utah, because the Jazz also wanted to compete with the Nuggets for an eighth place in the West, God knows how distressed Wang Shuo was when Wang Shuo saw Iverson rushing into the Jazz restricted area with explosives bags again and again!

As for the 5th......

No way.

The Sun, who was lucky enough to survive from the Utah Plateau, really didn't have the strength to challenge this king who was waiting for his work again.

If you say that in the NBA, the devil's schedule in the East is a man-machine difficulty that Wang Shuo can play with his eyes closed.

The Devil's Race in the West......

Wang Shuo is fully willing to call it:

- Hell Mode!

In April, after a surprise loss to the Nuggets, defeating the Clippers, Spurs, and Hornets, the Suns ended their entire 03/04 regular season with a 62-20 record.

Compared with last season, this season's Suns can be said to have completed a big turnaround.

Before the start of the regular season, no one was optimistic that they would be able to immediately transform into a top team in the West under the leadership of Wang Shuo.

But in the regular season, they swept the league with an offensive storm, but they became the most surprising team in the NBA this season.

In the 03/04 season, when most teams were still defensive, positional, and attacking, the Suns were able to score an incredible 118.5 points per game this season.

You know, this season, the average score of all teams in the NBA is only 99.5 points.

On the team's scoring per game rankings, the Suns are even crazier than the second-ranked Mavericks, who can score 108 points per game.

Of course, the Suns have been able to play high-quality offense on the court so smoothly this season, and Stern has also contributed to the Suns' protection.

Since the Suns averaged the most free throws per game in the league during the regular season, most defensive teams struggled against the Suns.

In addition, after the league officially eliminated the "HC" rule this season, the Suns did benefit a lot.

After all, as far as the Suns' Iverson is concerned, how many people in the league today can watch him?

On the evening of the 14th, as other NBA teams ended their final battles one after another, the regular season seats of the East and West in the 03/04 season were also settled at the same time.

In the Western Region, the number 1 to 14 is as follows:

Suns (1), Timberwolves (2), Lakers (3), Spurs (4), Kings (5), Mavericks (6), Houston XX (7), Nuggets (8), Jazz (9), Trail Blazers (10), Grizzlies (11), Warriors (12), SuperSonics (13), Clippers (14).

Before the Bobcats joined the league, there were only 14 teams in the West during that period, as the Hornets had not yet moved to New Orleans.

And with the Western Conference playoffs coming out one after another, Wang Shuo can also understand why the Kings and Mavericks were fighting for a Western Conference fifth.

Because......

Who wants to meet the Lakers with "F4" in the first round of the playoffs?

This year, in the West, in order to compete for a playoff spot, it is indeed a tragic battle.

Because the Nuggets, who finally got the eighth place in the West, can rank fourth in the East!

The seats in the West are scheduled, and the first round of the playoffs has also been released:

Suns vs Nuggets, Timberwolves vs. Houston XX, Lakers vs. Mavericks, Spurs PK Kings.

In addition to the west, this year's eastern 1st to 15th places are as follows:

Pistons (1), Nets (2), Wizards (3), Heat (4), Hornets (5), 76ers (6), Celtics (7), Bucks (8), Pacers (9), Magic (10), Cavaliers (11), Raptors (12), Bulls (13), Hawks (14), Knicks (15).

Although Rivers was questioned at the beginning of the season, the Wizards' rich family helped Rivers lead the Wizards to third in the East in the second half of the regular season.

In addition, the 76ers, who attracted Hamilton last summer, also found a winning touch in the second half of the regular season under D'Antoni's tutelage.

With Hamilton and Marbury, the 76ers managed to finish sixth in the East this year with a 41-41 record.

As for the Pacers, who should have finished first in the East under Carlisle this season, they ultimately missed this year's playoffs due to historical changes.

In the second half of this year's East, it can be said that there are many bad teams.

Especially the Knicks.

With a total salary of $90 million this season, they have only handed in a 20-62 record after 82 regular season games.

However, in Wang Shuo's eyes, the current Knicks are better than the Knicks who are dying in his memory.

Wang Shuo's previous life, how to describe the Knicks in this period?

To put it simply, you want to be bad, but you don't put it thoroughly, you want to rebuild, and you don't have the patience to wait for young players to grow.

Finally, after the "Smiling Assassin" has several "Eagle Hands......

Except for the period before my melon turned from a melon to a poisonous melon, the Knicks can barely see a glimmer of hope, most of the time, this team is more like a sightseeing tour to the NBA, anyway, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, the focus is on participation.

And with the Eastern seat scheduling, the first round of this year's Eastern Conference playoffs will also be released:

Pistons vs. Bucks, Nets vs. Celtics, Wizards vs. 76ers, Heat vs. Hornets.

……

On the 15th, the NBA officially announced the list of winners of the data kings of the 03/04 season.

In the 03/04 season, Allen Iverson, who played a total of 82 games for the Suns, averaged 35.4 minutes per game, and was able to contribute 32.4 points (2657 points in total), 11.2 assists (918 assists in total), 3.4 rebounds (279 rebounds in total), 2.8 steals (230 steals), and 0.1 blocks (8 blocks in total).

This season, Iverson has set new career highs in a number of statistics.

In addition to averaging 11.2 assists per game, Iverson, who has hit 106 three-pointers for the Suns this season, is also shooting a career-high 34.5 percent from three-point range.

In addition, he averaged 12.5 free throws per game and shot a career-high 55.1 percent from the field so far this season.

And his overall shooting percentage of 45.8 percent in the regular season this season was also his best performance since the second season of his career.

Because of this season, Iverson is often stuck in the fourth quarter because of the overall strength of the team......

Therefore, in Wang Shuo's view, if it weren't for the help Iverson win the scoring and assist titles this season at the same time, then Iverson's true shooting percentage could even be improved after further optimizing his shot selection.

In addition to Iverson's replication of Archibald's miracles, this year's rebounding king, block king, and steal king were also won by Garnett, Ratliff and Artest respectively.

It's a pity that if it weren't for Artay's sniping, this season, Iverson might even win the scoring king + assist king + steal king at the same time.

Artay, who has mastered how to brush up on defensive stats with the Wizards, has managed to bring his talent to Memphis this season.

In the 03/04 season, Artai averaged 20.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 3.1 steals and 0.7 blocks per game for the Grizzlies.

It's a pity that although Artai has a beautiful brushing of statistics, compared to the Wizards period, people have not rated him high this season compared to the Wizards.

Because in the game, Artay, who often loses position for steals, seems to have forgotten what is the reason why he can unscrupulously steal to press opponents in the Wizards.

In stark contrast to Atay are the highly acclaimed "hacker" Sean Marion this season, and the rapid progress of Amare Stoudemire.

During the regular season, Marion, who played in all 82 games for the Suns, averaged 19.9 points (1,632 points total), 8.8 rebounds (722 rebounds total), 3.1 assists (255 assists total), 1.9 steals (156 steals), and 1.8 blocks (148 blocks) per game.

This season, Marion is shooting 52.4 percent from the field and 37.1 percent from three-point range, hitting 1.6 three-pointers per night for the Suns.

Although, in the regular season, the Suns conceded a lot of points per game, but in the opinion of many judges, Marion is more qualified to be selected for this year's best defensive team than Atay in terms of both on-court performance and team results.

As for Smalls, in the regular season, he also played all 82 games for the Suns, and his statistics this season have skyrocketed to 21.8 points (1788 points total), 9.7 rebounds (796 rebounds total), 2.4 assists (197 assists total), 1.0 steals (82 steals total), and 1.4 blocks (115 blocks total) per game.

This season, Smalls is shooting 49.5 percent from the field.

Thanks to Iverson's ability to always attract firepower on the court, Xiao Si, who is getting farther and farther on the road of the sixth child, is also much higher in scoring efficiency than the same period in Wang Shuo's memory.

After the regular season, Iverson, Xiaosi, and Marion, who averaged "70+" points per game for the Suns in the 03/04 season, have been called the "Suns' troika" by Phoenix fans.

Of course, the outrageous performance of the three main luxury forces of the Sun also sets off the current problems of this Sun:

- Bench depth.

Old Horry and Old Barry had limited regular season output.

If Wang Shuo hadn't abandoned his previous suspicions and included Hardaway in the team's rotation lineup, then this season, the Suns' bench would be the biggest shortcoming of the Suns.

In the second lineup, the only thing that the Suns can score for the Suns in the chaos is something that even Suns fans can't believe......

The boy was only 165 centimeters tall.

But no matter what......

Before getting rid of Hardaway's salary baggage, which will not expire for two years even after this season, it will be difficult for Wang Shuo to make a further transformation of the Suns' bench lineup.

And instead of complaining about the team's lineup, even if there are not many cards in his hand this year, Wang Shuo wants to go to the table and gamble with his opponents!

According to the schedule, the Suns will welcome their first round of playoff openers on the 18th.

The Suns, who had the advantage in the regular season, were home and away.

Wang Shuo knows very well that in the first round of this year's playoffs, the Suns must strive to clear the customs as quickly as possible!

Otherwise, start with the divisional semi-finals......

The West isn't playing with you right now.

"Only by beating Carmelo Anthony and his Denver Nuggets as soon as possible will we be able to ...... before the start of this year's divisional semifinals

Make sure we can play the Spurs or the Kings in the best possible shape! On this day, at the first round of tactical preparation for the playoffs, Wang Shuo repeatedly emphasized to his assistants.
