The 76ers attacked.

After half-time, Nash teamed up with Hamilton and Heywood to launch a pistol tactic.

After Hamilton won the ball, he borrowed a screen from Durham Potter in the top arc.

If the ball had been replaced by "Mr. Iverson" coached by Wang Shuo last season, he would not have noticed that when Hamilton was covering at the top of the arc, on the other side, Nash was using Heywood to cover for a counter-run.

But Dujon is different.

After four years at Duke University, he keenly followed Nash at the first opportunity.

Hamilton's ability to hold the ball was average, and the 76ers' tactics failed to play the ball, but Hamilton almost made a mistake under the pressure of Jr. Smith.

At the critical moment, Iguodala used his physical fitness to go around and pick up the pot.

While!

Under the basket, Yao Ming got another board.

Coming back, the Knicks attacked.

After West covered Yao Ming at the free throw line, he immediately pulled to a 45-degree angle on the right side to make another block for Hill.

Iguodala forced his way around, but was still half a beat slower.

And at this moment, I saw West suddenly go down and block Dalem Porter, who wanted to come over to help defend Hill, for Hill.

Seeing this, Heywood hurriedly retreated to the basket.

But Hill took the lead and passed the ball to Yao Ming, who had slipped quietly to the left 45-degree angle on the outside line.

Yao Ming made a "free throw-style three-pointer" shot.

Swish!

0 to 5.

On the bench of the 76ers, seeing this scene, D'Antoni was suddenly a little depressed.

Because he felt as if Wang Shuo could see through his thoughts.

Tonight, D'Antoni opened the two-tower lineup, and it also had a purpose, that is, to consume a wave of Yao Ming first, and then change to a fast-break lineup to further increase Yao Ming's physical consumption.

But the Knicks' main point of attack tonight is obviously not Yao Ming.

It's West and Hill.

Yao Ming's two offenses after opening tonight, one was at the free-throw line to cover West.

One was to sneak out to the outside line to smoke under cover.

The 76ers' inner twin towers, let alone consuming Yao Ming, are the ones who are consumed by Yao Ming.

And, in positional battles, with the 76ers' opening configuration tonight, Nash can't play his best.

Especially Du Hong's ......

If you don't agree, you will give Nash a physical confrontation.

How can the old man, who has always been weak, stand this?

CCTV, Director Zhang said with a smile: "Nash in the regular season with Du Hong, the shooting rate is less than 45%, and the three-point shooting rate is only about 30%. ”

On the side, Director Sun echoed: "This is called one thing descending one thing. ”

On the field, Nash, who was forced by Duhon, stepped on the accelerator after a sudden stop, and the moment he noticed that Duhon was following from behind his side, he stopped again and completed the shot by riding a horse and archery.

Nash played handsomely this ball.

It's also very crisp.

That's the difficulty......

On the court, it was the Knicks' turn to attack.

Dujon held the ball at the top arc, and West pulled to the right again to block Hill.

Hill cut to the basket with a screen, and Dujon got the ball to Hill with ease under Nash's "then Embiid" defense.

On the other side, Yao Ming's block for Jr. Smith on the baseline was also completed at the same time.

Seeing this, Hill, who noticed that he had attracted the 76ers inside, decisively split the ball to the bottom line.

Jr. Smith makes a three-point shot.

2 to 8.

In front of the technical table, D'Antoni quickly took a timeout.

After the timeout, D'Antoni replaced Haywood with short, strong forward Kenny Thomas.

Thomas has a shot that gives Nash space on offense.

And at 201 cm tall, he also weighs 118 kg.

When necessary, this dude can even use his weight to make a back hit on the court.

In this era, in addition to superstars, many role players also have a unique hand.

The 76ers attacked, and Thomas gave Nash an outside shot after the pick-and-roll.

Nash's on-the-spot shot was so timely that Thomas didn't even need to adjust after receiving the ball.

That's the difference between passing and passing.

Some passes look domineering on the surface, but teammates can often only rush to shoot after receiving the ball.

And some passes, even if they look unremarkable, can increase the shooting percentage of teammates after receiving the ball.

Thomas hit a jumper, 4-8.

Come back, the Knicks have the ball.

In this defense, Iguodala circled in place, and Hill saw this and immediately returned the ball to Duhon.

Yao Ming took advantage of the situation and fell into the low post, and after Du Hong handed the ball to West, West passed the ball to Yao Ming from the top of Thomas's head.

This season, most of Xiao Yao's teammates, except for a few exceptions, are the kind of players with extremely high ball quotient and strong tactical ability.

In the low post, facing Dyrem Porter, Xiao Yao immediately rolled over and leaned back after feeling Damham Porter's defensive position with his shoulder.

Ballam Potter has a 226-centimeter reach and likes to be preemptive when defending.

But if you want to turn over and lean back, you can't do it without predicting it in advance.

While!

Unfortunately, in the sighs of the fans at the scene, Xiao Yao's shot went out of the frame.

But after replacing Haywood, the 76ers' interior height has dropped a lot at the moment.

In the box, after West blocked Thomas, Hill rushed to grab the rebound.

Immediately, Hill distributed the ball to the outside.

Since Nash had already made a quick lay, Dujon was unmarked for the ball.

Swish!

4 to 11.

Last summer, after letting England coach Du Hong, Du Hong's shooting performance this season was also better than Wang Shuo's memory of his rookie season.

In the regular season, Dujon shot 38.1% from three-point range.

The 76ers attacked, and Hamilton slipped J.R. Smith enough.

But tonight, J.R. Smith's modest brain allowed him to defend Hamilton to good effect.

Jr. Smith seems to have recognized Hamilton, no matter how the situation changes on the court, no matter where Hamilton runs, he will try his best to keep up.

In Wang Shuo's memory, in the record of the fight with Hamilton, don't say that although he was shown by Hamilton most of the time, there were really a few games in which Smith successfully defended Hamilton.

On the court, after a few more rounds, Wang Shuo replaced Smith, who was physically exhausted, with Ariza.

Even if he increased his wave muscles last summer, there are still a lot of problems in the confrontation of Tiezha at this time.

But in the face of Hamilton, Hamilton's equally thin figure could not take much advantage in front of Tiezha.

Wang Shuo plans to take turns with Smith and Ariza to race Hamilton tonight.

If nothing else, just don't let Hamilton play too easily.

D'Antoni, on his side, also replaced Korver in the second half of the first quarter.

On the court, after Iguodala went off the court, Hill immediately held his formation-breaking bully gun and stabbed the 76ers' defensive position.

Moreover, Cover, who had just been replaced by D'Antoni, did not hit any of his first three shots tonight.

In the early years of his career, Korver's defense was nothing but a no-brainer.

If he can't hit those shots for the team after he comes on the court, then he's purely negative.

The first quarter was 21-34.

D'Antoni paid the price for his poor tactical decisions in the first quarter of tonight's game.

In the second quarter, D'Antoni left Nash, Hamilton, and Korver on the court, trying to chase points by speeding up.

And Wang Shuo responded with the second lineup of West, Hardaway, Ariza, Smith, and Jones.

Wang Shuo plans to wait for the second half of the second quarter to let West rest.

If the 76ers insist on putting one big and four small at that time, then he can wait for Hill to rest and then use Hill to partner with Yao Ming inside.

In the first 6 minutes of the second quarter, Nash played well, shooting 3 of 4, including 2 of 3 three-pointers, for a total of 8 points and 3 assists.

Once this 76ers feel it, their ability to chase points is really terrifying.

But in the second half of the second quarter, with the decline in physical fitness, the offensive rhythm of the 76ers dropped significantly compared with the first half.

At this time, D'Antoni found out that he had fallen for Wang Shuo tonight.

Because on the court, during the period when the 76ers' offensive rhythm was the fastest, Yao Ming was not on the court at all.

Xiao Yao is not there, no matter how fast the 76ers' offense is, it will not be able to consume him.

Wang Shuo managed to get Xiao Yao to avoid the 76ers' edge, and after swapping him back, he reaped the game.

In the second half of the second quarter, Yao Ming shot 4 of 5, including 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 12 points and 3 rebounds for the Knicks.

At halftime, 51-62, the Knicks still led the 76ers by double digits.

In D'Antoni's view, tonight's Knicks definitely deliberately put up a second lineup in the second quarter of the game in order to force the 76ers to speed up.

Clearly, D'Antoni was right.

But in addition to deliberately forcing the 76ers to speed up, Wang Shuo also wants to use the defensive shortcomings of the 76ers when they set up a small lineup to offset the offensive advantage of the 76ers on the court.

It's just that the Knicks' second lineup didn't quite have the effect he wanted tonight.

After the break, D'Antoni made changes to his line-up.

A lineup consisting of Haywood, Dalem Porter, Korver, Hamilton, and Nash was fielded.

The intent of this lineup is also obvious.

The three guns on the outside and the two meat shields on the inside line make it clear that the simplest "you three and I boards" tactics are to be played.

But after Iguodala left the court, as long as West brought Hellam Porter to the other side of the court, the 76ers' lineup couldn't stop the Knicks from passing the ball to Yao Ming.

Wang Shuo knew that it was time to compare the success rate of the two teams.

On the court, the 76ers attacked.

In order to effectively limit the 76ers' three-point shooting percentage, the Knicks, including Yao Ming, have expanded their defensive areas outward.

Wang Shuo is not afraid to fight two-point shots with this 76ers, but he is afraid that they will suddenly find their touch and stun the Knicks in a wave.

At this moment, Wang Shuo felt that the 76ers team obviously lacked a big forward with strong offensive ability in the lineup.

Because Nash's style of play dictates that if his interior teammates don't score, then his offensive power on the court will be greatly reduced.

While!

On the perimeter, after Korver borrowed Haywood to cover a three-pointer from the back, the Knicks possessed the ball.

At this time, Brown also complained about D'Antoni and said: "The 76ers' joint defense, why is there such a big gap between the players and the players?" ”

D'Antoni is not an expert in defense, and when he usually trains, his defensive training is naturally not as professional as Brown and Malone.

But you may not believe it.

Even the 76ers' joint defense, in terms of positional sense on the court, is better than the Celtics.

On the court, after Du Hong bet the ball over half the court, Yao Ming quickly sank into the low post with West's cover.

Hill hoisted the ball inside and Korver spun around to pinch Yao.

But he succeeded in helping the opposite, because the route was not chosen well when helping to defend, and the moment Yao Ming turned to wipe the low post, he blocked his teammate Heywood.

In the future, it wasn't until he played for the Hawks that Korver's defensive selection and defensive awareness improved under Budenholzer's tutelage.

Under the basket, Yao Ming easily scored the ball.

CCTV, Director Zhang explained: "You see how smart Yao Ming is playing this ball, he plays a thousand pounds of four or two, and what he pays attention to is a chemical strength!" ”

On the side, Director Sun echoed: "This season under Wang Shuo, Yao Ming's pace has indeed improved a lot compared to the Houston period. ”

Madison Square Garden, D'Antoni's face became more and more ugly as time went on.

Because they played until the end of the third quarter, the 76ers only hit seven three-pointers tonight.

But on the outside, they picked it up 24 times.

This kind of shooting rate, which even if Kobe Bryant comes, has to be called an expert, is obviously not enough to open the door to victory for them.

However, this is also a major feature of the team coached by D'Antoni.

That is, I would rather die on my own feel than change the way of thinking about the game because of one or two missed shots.

In the future, Wang Shuo still remembers the appalling 27 outside irons of a certain team until now.

In the final quarter of the game, tonight's 76ers did not create a famous scene in advance, and after Nash then led the team to bombard another round, seeing that the difference between the two teams was getting wider and wider, D'Antoni took the initiative to withdraw all the main forces at the end of the final quarter with 4 minutes left.

At the end of the game, the score of the two teams was 96-117.

Yao Ming was ridiculously efficient, shooting 16-of-20, including 1-of-2 three-pointers and 8-of-8 free throws, for a total of 41 points and 14 rebounds, and successfully set a new career playoff single-game scoring record.

Previously, those Yao Hei who thought that Yao Ming's regular season data was just brushed out, and when it came to the playoffs, they would definitely show their original form, and they were ashamed of themselves.

In fact, many people don't know that in history, except for the 08/09 season, when Yao Ming retired early due to injury, Yao Ming's career playoff average has always been more than his average points per game in the regular season.

In addition, even in the season when he left the game early, Yao Ming also played 10% of the 10 shots and 6 of 6 free throws in the game against the Trail Blazers.

To put it bluntly, because the defensive intensity in the playoffs is higher than in the regular season, when it comes to the playoffs, players like Xiaoyao who can stabilize and harden the opponent's defense are better than those stars who rely on blowing.

In Wang Shuo's view, in his memory, the only shortcoming in Yao Ming's career was that he played too many games like the Asian Games and the Asian Championships, which led to his early retirement at a young age.

Yes, in the 05 Asian Championships, Yao Ming led the Chinese men's basketball team to defeat the South Korean men's basketball team by 44 points 93-49.

And in a sense, it also broke the mentality of the Korean men's basketball team for a long time.

But......

Use Yao Ming to bully Koreans......

It's like using a Ferrari and a wheelchair to drag racing, winning doesn't necessarily bring you anything!

In fact, as Wang Qi, Zhu Ba and others grow up, the Chinese men's basketball team can still win the championship even if it does not have Yao Ming.

Wang Shuo knows he can't stop Yao Ming's determination to play for his country, but this summer, he plans to give Lisa Callahan extra salary in the offseason and let the Knicks' team doctors go with Yao.

……

After the G1 game, in an interview, Wang Shuo did not ridicule Lao De, but counted the changes that D'Antoni brought to the 76ers.

For example, due to the change in the style of play of the 76ers in the past two years, after losing Iverson, their ball market is still hot.

For example, D'Antoni used his charisma to poach Nash and Hamilton from the free agent market for the 76ers.

As his descendant, Wang Shuo knows very well what it means to him that Lao De can keep his handsome position!

Don't be kidding, if you want to make a deal in the future, Wang Shuoke will count on the human De Antony.

Therefore, if you don't blow D'Anthony at this time, when will you wait?

However, on this day, Mike Malone said to Wang Shuo with a puzzled face: "When I was coaching in Cleveland, why didn't you praise me?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Shuo said after a long sigh: "Mike, what was the final ranking of the knights you led last year?" ”

Malone replied, "11th in the East." ”

Wang Shuo said, "So, you should know why I didn't praise you, right?" ”

Malone said with an angry face: "But that's not my problem alone, I gave the kid advice early in the morning, but he didn't listen to it at all."

And it's okay not to listen to the advice, you know, the team management at the time asked me to make him play good stats.

You say, how do I lead the team? ”

At this moment, looking at Ma Long, who was angry at the mention of the child's paper, Wang Shuo felt that it was indeed not for nothing that this product was stabbed.

Because he actually wanted to dump the pot on the "great" LeBron James!

Bold!

Do you know that even if James has 99.99% of the pot, you have to use your 0.01% mistake to carry it all, otherwise how can you be worthy of the emperor's trust in you?

On the 25th, Wang Shuo did not arrange a training session, but gave the players a day off.

On the 26th, the G2 game between the Knicks and the 76ers continued at Madison Square Garden.

This time, D'Antoni changed his mind and used the starting lineup of Ballam Porter, Thomas, Korver, Hamilton, and Nash.

This night, as soon as it came up, the 76ers wanted to use the fast break to consume Yao Ming's physical energy.

And for this......

Wang Shuo naturally can only choose "one more bitter West".

This year, as Chinese fans' favorability towards West has doubled, West has also been upgraded from the previous "Second Brother Wei" to the "Ye" generation.

In this game, "Wei Erye" led his teammates to play high-quality four-man joint defense many times, which bought enough time for Yao Ming to retreat.

In the G1 game, Ariza who defended Hamilton well, and after coming off the bench this time, his performance was even better than that of Jr. Smith.

Previously, Tie Tie, who was often physically bullied by the group of "bad uncles" in the game, seemed to have found true love in front of Hamilton.

Tie Zha's physical fitness is excellent, his height and arms are long, this time, in addition to his three-point shooting of 1 of 5, even Wang Shuo, who has always been strict, can't find fault with him.

Plus, this Hill broke out again.

In front of Korver's near-unguarded defense, Hill shot 10-of-17 from the field and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line to add a total of 25 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists.

Yao Ming continued his hot hand in the last game, shooting 13-of-18 from the field and 8-of-8 from the free throw line, totaling 34 points and 13 rebounds.

The 76ers still didn't feel good from the outside, shooting only 9 of 31 three-pointers from the field.

Nash, one of Yao's regular-season MVP rivals, didn't play his best in either game.

In the first two games, Nash averaged only 16.5 points, 8.5 assists, and 4.5 turnovers per game.

In Wang's previous life, under D'Antoni, Nash's playoff performance was also better than his regular season performance.

But this year, why did Du Hong keep pestering him on the field like crazy?

After losing Game II 101-114, Nash was blasted by the New York media.

The New York media even complained that he was a "regular season supergiant" who would become a soft egg as soon as he reached the playoffs.

Although, in a sense, the New York media will step on Nash's foot in order to help Yao Ming get the regular season MVP......

But in 2005, the year when anyone who dared to open champagne in advance died......

On the 29th, after the G3 battle between the two teams was moved to Philadelphia, Nash, the "regular season supergiant", proved by himself that he really did not lose his character in these years!

In this G3 battle, even though Du Hong's defensive intensity is still online, the crazy Nash has beaten Du Hong into a background board again and again in the game.

In the game, Nash shot 18-of-24, including 5-of-7 three-pointers and 8-of-8 free throws, totaling 49 points, plus three rebounds and five assists for the 76ers.

Passing buttons?

What pass button?

In this game, Nash, who chose to cut off the pass button most of the time, just wanted the New York media to see, who is the "regular season supergiant"?

If Wang Shuo remembers correctly, Nash's single-game high in history in the playoffs should have been 48 points, and it was also set in the 04/05 season.

Of course, in the game in Wang Shuo's memory, the reason why Nash "went crazy" was mainly because the Suns were facing the Mavericks at that time, and Nash wanted to prove himself in front of his old club.

And this night......

Although the Knicks are not Mavericks, the New York media's previous comments on the "regular season supergiant" definitely seriously stimulated Nash.

The angry Nash is really terrifying, in this G3 game, the Knicks lost 107-119 on the road, which can be described as a good loss.

In Wang Shuo's opinion, there is nothing to say about this game.

In the NBA, most superstars have their own tempers.

However, Nash's style and physical fitness determine that he can't play like that.

On May 1, the G4 match between the two teams continued in Philadelphia.

On the court, Nash's efficiency remains efficient.

But under the premise that he couldn't replicate the G3 game, his teammates couldn't keep up with his rhythm in this game.

Hamilton played mediocre under the defense of two young men, J.R. Smith and Ariza, with only 7 of 19 shots and 2 of 8 three-pointers, and only 18 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists including free throws.

Korver shot well from the outside, shooting 4-of-7 from beyond the three-point line.

But on the defensive end, he allowed Hill to shoot 9-of-11 and shoot more than 8 percent from the field to score 24 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists for the Knicks on the night.

In order to help the team get the match point, Xiao Yao chiseled the whole game, shooting 9 of 15 from the field and 17 of 18 from the free throw line, scoring a total of 35 points and 11 rebounds for the team.

In the end, the finishing score of the two teams in this game was 108-100, and the Knicks took the lead in getting the match point with a score of 3-1 after winning the G4 game of the two teams.

According to the schedule, the fifth game of the two teams will be moved back to Madison Square Garden in New York.

On May 3, Hamilton, who had not performed well in the previous four games, broke out.

In a long series, no team can control the outside star on the other side.

Hamilton, who was unwilling to be eliminated 4-1 by the Knicks, this night, despite the boos of Madison Square Garden, shot 12 of 20 from the field, including 6 of 10 three-pointers, including free throws, a total of 34 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists for the 76ers.

Nash also had a good game, shooting 10-of-17 from the field, including 5-of-8 from three-point range and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, for a total of 31 points, three rebounds and nine assists.

The 76ers have two guns on the outside to work together, which is the last thing Wang Shuo wants to see in this round of the series.

Because once the 76ers find their groove on the outside, they can theoretically beat any opponent.

On this night, the Knicks, who were sitting at home, failed to end the series and were pulled back by the 76ers with a score of 116-108.

Next, the sixth game between the two teams will return to Philadelphia on May 6.

Wang Shuo didn't want to be dragged into a tie-break by D'Antoni.

Because it's really time to tie seven, this round of the series will be unpredictable.

"In the first five games of this series, both Brandon and Samuel were inconsistent in their free throws.

Once we get up for fouls on the court, I'm going to use the 'shark slashing tactic' to interrupt the 76ers' fast break." ”

On this day, after noticing that after the first five games of the technical game, Haywood and Dareham Porter only shot 45% and 40% of their free throws, respectively, Wang Shuo said to Brown and others.

"That's a way to do it! While Brandon and Samuel usually shoot okay free throws, they may not be as accurate as they usually are when it comes to critical moments. Brown said.

On May 6, at the Wachovia Center, the first round of the playoffs between the 76ers and the Knicks officially started.

In the first quarter of the game, after the Knicks were fouled, Wang Shuo decisively replaced Sam Anderson, the water cooler administrator, to implement the "shark cutting tactic".

Dalem Porter, who was first sent to the free throw line by the Knicks, hit only two of his first eight free throws.

Originally, Heywood, who already had two championships in hand, should be better than Durham Porter in terms of psychological quality.

But due to the Bowler infection, Haywood hit just one of his first four free throws.

Relying on this set of "shark slashing tactics" that made D'Antoni so angry that he stomped his feet on the sidelines, on the court, the Knicks not only reversed the unfavorable situation in the first quarter of the game in one fell swoop, but also won a lot of rest time for Yao Ming.

In the second quarter of the game, the angry D'Antoni even replaced Thomas as a center.

If nothing else, just to prevent the 76ers from getting up on the court, the Knicks interrupted their offensive rhythm with foul tactics.

However, what D'Antoni never expected was ......

Even when Haywood and Hellam Porter aren't on the floor, the Knicks can use "shark hacking tactics."

Although in the regular season, Iguodala shot nearly 75% from the free-throw line.

But Wang Shuo, who knew that the "first brother" only had a 58% free throw shooting rate in his playoff career, boldly tried the "shark cutting tactic" on Iguodala.

As a result, the results are surprisingly good!

On this night, the youth version of Iguodala can be said to have fully felt the sinister nature of the world.

Of the six free throws he made for the 76ers in the second quarter, he was even more outrageous than Haywood and Dyreham Porter, missing all six.

Andre Iguodala is such an outrageous player.

In the future, in the 14/15 finals, he even did something like shooting more three-point percentage than free throws.

On this night, the 76ers' fast break was interrupted infinitely, and in turn, Yao Ming, who had been well rested, frequently hit backs and sneak attacks on the court.

Looking at the 76ers players who repeatedly missed free throws on the court, the home audience was also angry.

Because in their opinion, the Knicks are not playing basketball at all!

But still the same sentence.

The trick is not new, it just works.

The night......

In terms of Haywood, Durham Porter, and Iguodala shooting free-throw percentages in the regular season, if they can be a little more competitive, they won't be unlucky.

In the second half of the game, as the Knicks gradually widened the score gap between the two teams, after the 76ers went crazy on the outside to no avail, in the boos of the fans, the Knicks won 108-89 on the road, with a score of 4-2, and successfully advanced to this year's Eastern Conference semifinals.

After the game, D'Antoni did not blame the loss of this game on free throws, he just told the media that the 76ers still need to experience.

When asked if it was disgraceful for the Knicks to use the "shark slashing tactic" to advance in this game, Wang Shuo said with a smile: "As the easiest way to score on the basketball court, if you can't even make free throws, then why can't your opponent target you with this?" ”

After a pause, Wang Shuo continued: "Since you think that our use of the 'shark cutting tactic' is not glorious enough, then next, I also very welcome you to use the 'shark cutting tactic' against Yao, and I promise that we will never resist!" ”

Hearing this, reporters slandered: With Yao Ming's 90% free throw shooting rate, who would use the "shark cutting tactic" against him?

But after being scolded by Wang Shuo like this, the reporters found that they who raised this question to Wang Shuo were really disgraceful.

Because in basketball, you can use the same tactics that your opponent can use.

Just because you haven't beaten an opponent, you say that your opponent's tactics are not glamorous?

In Wang Shuo's previous life, O'Neal always complained that there should be no joint defense in the NBA.

But how could he not have thought about how many championship rings he would have picked up if he hadn't had as many donuts as he had since arrived in Los Angeles, given his athleticism during his time with the Magic?

On May 6, after the Knicks successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals, their next semifinal schedule with the Pistons was also released.

As early as two days ago, the Pistons successfully eliminated the Pacers with a score of 4-1 and advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals one step ahead of the Knicks.

On the other hand, the Heat also eliminated the Nets with a score of 4-1.

However, having qualified for the Eastern Conference semifinals, they may have to wait a few more days for their opponents.

Because......

Even Wang Shuo didn't expect that the series between the Celtics and the Wizards would be so stalemate.

In the G1 battle, after the Celtics won bloodlessly, G2, G3, and G4, using the blocking and dismantling tactics of Gasol and his outside teammates, the Wizards unexpectedly won three consecutive cities under the leadership of Rivers.

In these three games, in addition to Gasol's average of "20+10" per game, Arenas, Marbury, and Hughes broke out in turn.

Fortunately, after falling behind 1-3, the Celtics managed to pull one back in the fifth game of the two teams.

Next, the G6 game between the Celtics and the Wizards will be played on May 7, but I don't know, will Rivers stably trigger his "reversed" passive this season?

For the time being, this series between the Wizards and the Celtics is not scheduled.

According to the schedule, the Eastern Conference semifinals G1 game between the Knicks and the Pistons will be played on May 9.

The Pistons, who had the dominant regular season record, were home and away, and the series format was still 22111.

……

On the evening of the 9th, the Palace of Auburn Hills.

Wang Shuo was "wronged".

It's really "wronged".

Because of this match, although he has been well prepared before the game, ......

The two bastards, Carlisle and Stotts, are openly bullying him for the few cards available.

On this night, Yao Ming still hammered Big Ben into a "little alarm clock", shooting 17 of 24 from the field and 10 of 10 from the free throw line, scoring a total of 44 points and 15 rebounds, and once again setting a single-game scoring record for the playoffs in his personal career.

But in the game, the Pistons were the same as the Wizards did against O'Neal, successfully preventing Yao Ming's teammates.

This game, no matter how badly Big Ben was hammered.

The piston also didn't clamp Yao Ming once.

Because both Carlisle and Stotts are well aware that Yao Ming's ability to crit on the court is limited.

As long as Yao Ming is not connected with his teammates, even if Yao Ming scores more, the Pistons can use constant "king bombing" to consume the Knicks.

In the end, in this G1 game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the score of the two teams was 98-108.

The Pistons went first.

However, despite the "grievances" in his heart, Wang Shuo has no intention of giving up this round of the series.

After the G1 game, after reviewing the game between the two teams, Wang Shuo knew that the only remaining way for the Knicks to win in this round of the series was to use the advantage of having many "sharpshooters" in their lineup, relying on Yao Ming's containment on the court, learning from D'Antoni, and shooting the Pistons with three-point shots.

Even in theory, the Pistons are very good at defending the shooting team.

But because they are afraid of Hill's breakthrough, they will inevitably not give the Knicks a chance at all like they do with other shooting teams.

Wang Shuo knows very well that the weak team plays the strong team, and when there is still an obvious grade gap between the two teams, this is the only way to win.

And just when Wang Shuo was leading the Knicks to prepare for the G2 battle with the Pistons......

On May 10, the NBA officially announced the major awards of the NBA in the 04/05 season.

The regular season MVP was won by the long-awaited Yao Ming.

This year, Yao Ming played an unparalleled dominance on the court, and the Knicks also unexpectedly finished third in the East, so in terms of individual performance and team performance, Yao Ming should be selected.

In addition, this award also made Yao Ming the first foreign MVP in NBA history and the tallest regular season MVP in NBA history.

In his acceptance speech, Yao Ming humorously said that half of the credit for his regular season MVP this year was due to O'Neal.

"I think it's Shaq's performance at the free-throw line that allows me to always relax when I'm on the free-throw line.

Because when I think about it, I can't make any free throws as bad as Shaq, and I always keep a normal mind when I make free throws. ”

Yao Ming also thanked Bill Russell, because during his rookie season, Russell invited him to Seattle for dinner and gave him a lot of advice.

Then, in order, Yao Ming thanked his family, Wang Zhizhi, and his two mentors, Li Zhangming and Li Qiuping.

Finally, Yao Ming thanked Wang Shuo in particular.

In his speech, Yao Ming said that it was Wang Shuo who changed his life.

In a sense, Yao Ming's words are indeed correct.

It was when he said that he could have such a good performance this season because he played under him, but Wang Shuo disagreed.

Because whether it is Michael Jordan, or Allen Iverson, or Yao Ming at this moment, Wang Shuo has only stimulated their original potential, and through tactical arrangements and personnel rotation, it has been further amplified.

Of course, at the end of his speech, Yao Ming did not forget to complain about his brother Wang: "Wang Shuo is undoubtedly the best coach in the NBA, but ......

If he could change girlfriends in two weeks, it would be even better in my opinion.

Because of the speed with which he changed girlfriends, I couldn't even remember other people's names. ”

Yao Ming's humorous remarks caused laughter from the reporters on the spot.

This complaint is nothing in the eyes of American fans, because Wang Shuo is a famous prodigal son, and everyone will only think that Yao Ming is a humorous person afterwards.

In fact, this testimonial was exactly what Wang Shuo suggested Yao Ming to write in his acceptance speech.

Not for anything else.

Chunchun is just trying to block the way for himself to coach the Chinese men's basketball team in the future.

Wang Shuo knows very well how complicated the Chinese Basketball Association is, so he doesn't want to wade into the troubled waters of the Chinese Basketball Association in this life.

So, for this reason, he even didn't hesitate to be a scumbag who changed his girlfriend every week!

You see, buddy, my political consciousness is so low......

You don't want me to go back and teach bad kids, do you?

Although in China and the United States, it is not illegal to change a girlfriend every week.

But in Wang Shuo's view, as long as he changes girlfriends fast enough, it is impossible for the Chinese Basketball Association to invite him to coach the Chinese men's basketball team.

But despite this, when writing this complaint into the copy, Yao Ming still said to Wang Shuo with a worried face: "Brother, aren't you worried that you will lose the support of many domestic fans because of this?" ”

Hearing this, after smiling, Wang Shuo said, "Don't be afraid, I know it in my heart." ”

It is true that Chinese fans in this era will definitely not like Wang Shuo's prodigal son.

But wait another 20 years......

As the so-called, the version of "Earth OL" will also be constantly updated.

In addition, although on the 10th, Wang Shuo was happy for Xiao Yao from the bottom of his heart.

But after noticing that this year's best coach was not awarded to him......

Wang Shuo was suddenly angry!

On this day, if it weren't for Brown and Malone......

He Wang Shuo must run back to New York and have a good reason with Stern!

No......

Why isn't this year's best coach buddy?

Why?

This year, buddy, I'm the savior of New York!

On this day, looking at the results of the league's best coach selection, Wang Shuo didn't understand and couldn't figure it out.

But in fact......

If he looks at the list of winners a little more, then he will understand why he is not the best coach in the NBA this year......
