Chapter 145: Wang Shuo's Decision Makes It Easy to Pass the First Round! (10,000-character chapter, kneeling for subscriptions, monthly passes)

On April 7, the Knicks, who were aiming to set a new record for the best record in NBA regular season history, suffered an unexpected and reasonable defeat at Auburn Hills Palace.

This season, as the team's management changed the team's goals and positioning, the Pistons are no longer a championship-level team.

But even so, with the five tigers and four tigers left, they are still a force to be reckoned with in the east.

In this game, most people were optimistic that the Knicks could win easily before the game, including Wang Shuo himself did not take the Pistons to heart.

But that's where the NBA game is interesting, you never know what's going to happen on the court in the next game.

The Knicks were all out of shape this night, and Yao Ming and Duncan also suffered a foul crisis prematurely.

Billups played his best game of the season:

He shot 10-of-18 from the field, including 6-of-9 from three-point range and 8-of-9 from the free-throw line, for a total of 34 points, five rebounds and eight assists.

Rondo and Dujon put a lot of intensity on Billups in the game, but that's how Billups' style is......

When this buddy feels good, his unguardable sneak attack will always give you a fatal blow at a fatal moment.

The Knicks lost 112-117 on the road.

After the game, due to the public discussion of the penalty scale of the game, Wang Shuo received a $25,000 fine from his good brother Stern.

Some people may ask, why didn't Wang Shuo question the referee in the previous game, but this time he questioned the referee?

The reason is simple, because the playoffs are about to begin.

This season, since January, it has become commonplace for the Knicks to "play five" on the court.

Except for the game at Madison Square Garden, where the referees didn't dare to act too recklessly, basically the Knicks' away games, the referees were blowing penalties with tasks.

Wang Shuo didn't question the referee before because he knew that the NBA was a business league, and Stern couldn't make the Knicks' opponents cry every game.

But now it's different, and as the regular season comes to an end, Wang Shuo knows he has to remind Stern:

David, you don't want people to think of the NBA as a "league of referees" when they talk about the NBA in the future, right?

Neither Stern nor Mark are the kind of people who would abuse off-court weighting, and sure enough, on the 9th, during the Knicks' visit to Milwaukee, the referees immediately turned back to normal.

This season, with Reed and Morris Williams, the Bucks once finished ninth in the East.

Unfortunately, due to the limited backcourt two-gun critical shooting of the Bucks, the Bucks began to free fall in the record rankings after entering January, and now they have even been overtaken by the Cavaliers in the record rankings.

The referees were not naughty, and on this night, Yao Ming and Duncan scored 30 points, 8 rebounds, 24 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists in the first three quarters alone.

In the end, the Knicks won comfortably 127-99 on the road and claimed their 73rd win of the season.

On the 10th, the Knicks faced the Bulls back-to-back.

In this life, without the Knicks to take over Eddie Curry, the Bulls management thought that the team would perform badly in the new season.

But as Wang Shuo remembers, in order to prove himself, Eddie Curry has a rare self-discipline, and has handed over an excellent report card of 19.7 points and 7.1 rebounds per game this season.

As a result, Curry's performance has put the Bulls management in order.

The Bulls currently sit seventh in the East, and as long as they don't drop the chain in the final few games, they can make the playoffs they've always wanted to play.

In this game with the Knicks, the Bulls will show the momentum of fighting against the water.

Hinrich finished with 18 points, four rebounds and seven assists, shooting 4-of-5 from beyond the three-point line.

Luol Deng had 17 points, seven rebounds and four assists.

Nocioni, who came off the bench, shot 3-of-6 from the field and finished with a total of 14 points and 5 rebounds.

Ben Gordon, who was pinned on by Chicago, also had 25 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists in this game.

Unfortunately......

With his teammates playing well, as one of Yao Ming's favorite opponents in this league, Eddie Curry was beaten into a sieve by Xiao Yao on the court.

Yao Ming played an MVP-level performance in this game, shooting 14 of 20 from the field, including 3 of 6 three-pointers and 10 free throws, for a total of 41 points and 12 rebounds.

In the game, Xiaoyao's excellent form also made Duncan the biggest beneficiary.

In this game, Duncan totaled 18 points, 17 rebounds and 14 assists.

The Knicks eventually won 129-110 at the Union Center and won their 74th game of the season.

On the 13th, after a two-day break, the Raptors, who returned to their home stadium at Madison Square Garden, once again became the backdrop for the tragedy.

But fortunately, the Raptors only lost by 48 points in this game.

After the game, Paul, the "Dragon King", who ushered in the darkest moment in the second year of his career, did not say a word, and walked back to the locker room silently after covering his head with a towel.

The Raptors have a poor record this season, bidding farewell to the playoffs as early as late March, and as the team's star player, Paul is naturally to blame.

CCTV, when commenting on the game, Yang Yirui commented on Paul: "As the core defender of the team, you have always held the ball in your hands, how do you let your teammates play, how can you have a good performance?"

Chris Paul is a player who, in my opinion, is only a little better than Dujon. ”

As a cannon honey leader, Wang Shuo will definitely not agree with Yang Yi's evaluation of Paul.

But Wang Shuo is pleased that people have already established a correct understanding of Paul in advance.

Say it and you may not believe it.

Before Wang Shuo crossed over, Paul was able to surpass Wade in the overall ranking of the American media in the overall ranking of history......

In Wang Shuo's view, this is simply a big joke in the world.

On the 15th, the Knicks traveled to Orlando to challenge the Magic.

As a new disciple of Big Dream and Ewing, Bagnani has proved with his actions this season that there is no problem with the teaching ability of these two masters.

Although Bagnani's offensive tactics this season have been dominated by floating from the outside, when he occasionally plays big dreams on the court and the low-post offensive skills that Ewing taught him......

On the sidelines, while Olajuwon and Ewing were in tears, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Howard's extraordinary "offensive failure"!

In this game, the Magic didn't cause much trouble for the Knicks, because their task this year is still to mess around.

The Knicks eventually won 125-93 on the road, with Yao Ming and Duncan playing just 25 and 26 minutes respectively.

On the 17th, the Knicks returned to their home court, Madison Square Garden, to usher in the regular season finale.

Coincidentally, this year's league arranged for them to play the final game against the Nets.

With a win for the Knicks set a new record for the best record in NBA history with a win against the Nets, reporters from all over the world arrived in New York on this day, ready to welcome the historic moment again.

Many celebrities and big names in the United States also came to the scene.

However, at a time so deserving of joy......

On the sidelines, Wang Shuo looked melancholy.

Seeing this, Olsen, who was sitting not far from Wang Shuo, wearing a white bandeau dress, asked curiously: "Tonight is a historic moment, why am I not happy to see you at all?" ”

Wang Shuo rubbed Olsen's head and said, "Life is like climbing a mountain, the process of climbing is painful, but it will always make you full of expectations.

But once you actually get to the top of the mountain, everything becomes boring. ”

The young Ao Mei still couldn't understand what Wang Shuo said at the moment.

But at this moment, Wang Shuo's image in her mind is undoubtedly a little taller.

There is no suspense for the Knicks in this game against the Nets.

The Nets, who have been infighting all season, should now be worried about how they will rebuild this summer.

At Madison Square Garden, the final quarter timer went to zero, and the finishing score of the two teams was fixed at 85-122, and the entire arena erupted in deafening cheers.

Last year, the Knicks finished with a 76-6 record, breaking the record held by the Chicago Bulls for the best record in NBA regular season history.

This year, with a 77-5 record, they set a new record for the best NBA regular season record in history.

Under the leadership of Wang Shuo, this team, which was once thought to be impossible to save even if God came, has reached the top of the NBA.

At this moment, it is the peak!

ESPN, A-Smith said excitedly after the game: "This era belongs to Wang Shuo, belongs to the New York Knicks!" ”

TNT TV, Barkley said emotionally while broadcasting the results to the nation: "At this moment, even if I am a knowledgeable person, I can't think of any words to describe and describe this Knicks."

I think the NBA officials can consider Wang's proposal and send the O'Brien Cup directly to the Knicks.

Because this year's playoffs seem to me to be over, I don't think any team can cause problems for the Knicks in the playoffs. ”

After the game, reporters surrounded Wang Shuo, wanting to interview him about leading the Knicks to break the record of the best record in history for two consecutive years.

In this regard, Wang Shuo was caught off guard and said: "I think that after my contract with the Knicks expires, I should take a break and start again in another place." ”

After a pause, Wang Shuo added: "Otherwise, I'm embarrassed to let other coaches take second place all the time." ”

Journalists: "......"

At this moment, you may think that Wang Shuo is in Versailles, but in fact, he really needs to take a break after his contract with the Knicks expires to regain his coaching enthusiasm.

Wang Shuo plans to take a year off next season when his contract with the Knicks expires, and then find a new team to challenge himself.

At the NBA headquarters in New York, when Stern learned of Wang Shuo's plan, the little Jewish old man suddenly felt relieved and couldn't help but feel worried.

Stern is well aware that Wang Shuo's early announcement of his departure at this juncture is also hinting to him, hoping that he will not interfere with the Knicks' establishment of a dynasty through off-court weighting in this season's playoffs and next season's games.

But in fact, even if Wang Shuo doesn't hint, Stern won't stop the Knicks from building a dynasty.

Because as the largest city in the United States, if the Knicks can really build a dynasty, it will definitely bring an unimaginable wave of traffic and attention to the NBA.

Therefore, the real reason why Stern feels relieved is that Wang Shuo is ready to leave the Knicks to continue his nomadic herding after building a dynasty in New York.

Although at last year's finals, Wang Shuo also verbally promised himself......

But compared to the promise in front of the public at the moment......

In Stern's view, Wang Shuo's "written evidence" at this moment is obviously more convincing.

As a man who has always kept his promises, Stern believes that Wang Shuo will definitely not go back.

Can......

As for Wang Shuo's idea of wanting to take a year off, Stern felt that it was reasonable, but he would inevitably feel worried because of Wang Shuo's rest.

Because without Wang Shuo's good brother, Stern knows it very well......

The NBA is undoubtedly tantamount to losing their Jerusalem.

It's like eating French fries without tomato sauce, and eating zongzi won't let you dip in sugar.

Although, in this world, the earth will turn without anyone.

But in the end, Stern is used to his good brother, who will make a big news story for the NBA from time to time, and can always give the NBA the popular fried chicken that can make his heart flutter.

You say, this is a year without Wang Shuo, what should the NBA do then?

What should he do with Stern?

"David, I don't think you need to worry about it.

Believe me, even during the break, the media will not let Wang go.

For the king is their bread and clothing. On this day, looking at Stern, Mark smiled.

Hearing this, while Stern sighed, he couldn't help but wonder which NBA team Wang Shuo would choose to save after a year of rest.

On the Internet, on this day, Knicks fans, who were still elated, suddenly felt that they had been hit by a bolt from the blue.

Obviously, the Knicks have just broken the NBA's record for the best record in regular season history......

But Knicks fans just can't be happy.

The New York media commented helplessly: "This man wants to rest for a while and start over again because he is too good!"

Is this a distortion of human nature, or is it a moral degradation? ”

At the same time, fans of other NBA teams are calling on their teams on the Internet:

As long as the team they support can recruit Wang Shuo to coach in the future, they will do their best to support the team even if they are bankrupt.

Los Angeles, in the final game of the regular season, after being stepped on the head by the Trail Blazers led by O'Neal and missing the playoffs, the old Bass, who was still angry, saw the news this day, and immediately turned his grief and anger into motivation and said: "Mitch, we can't miss Wang Shuo again this time."

I want to see the Lakers win another championship before I die. ”

Kupchak nodded, "We really should act early. ”

Hearing this, the elder Bass said: "How do you think we can attract him to join?" ”

Kupchak smiled wryly: "To be honest, Jerry, I don't know either. ”

Kupchak knows very well that Wang Shuo wants money and money at the moment, and he wants a prestigious position and a prestigious position, and even if he is willing to be a dog for Wang Shuo like Raidon, Wang Shuo may not be able to look at it.

Because as long as Wang Shuo is willing, Kupchak knows, I'm afraid all NBA teams are willing to give him power.

However, after a pause, Kupchak, who suddenly thought of something, said to Old Bass: "Perhaps...... Can we let Kobe Bryant try? ”

Old Buss's eyes lit up and said: "Every time I visit Los Angeles, Wang does always talk to Kobe for a long time, you have a good idea, and this summer, we will take Kobe to visit him." ”

After the regular season, with the scheduling of the seats of each team, the playoff tables of the 06/07 NBA season have also been released.

In the 06/07 season, the first to fifteenth places in the East are as follows:

Knicks, Pacers, Heat, 76ers, Celtics, Wizards, Pistons, Hawks, Bulls, Cavaliers, Raptors, Nets, Bobcats, Bucks, Magic.

The first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs is as follows:

Knicks vs. Hawks, Pacers vs. Pistons, Heat vs. Wizards, 76ers PK Celtics.

Although the Bulls were in a good position to advance to the playoffs in the final stage of the regular season, they unfortunately ended up in the most embarrassing ninth place in the East.

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

Mavericks, Suns, Nuggets, Grizzlies, Clippers, Jazz, Houston XX, Trail Blazers, Lakers, Kings, Timberwolves, Warriors, Hornets, Spurs, SuperSonics.

The first round matchups of the Western Conference playoffs are as follows:

Mavericks vs. Trail Blazers, Suns vs. Houston XX, Nuggets PK Jazz, Grizzlies vs. Clippers.

James, who led the team to the playoffs for the first time in his career, can be described as very excited.

Especially after the Lakers were squeezed out of the playoffs by the Trail Blazers, as the last card in Los Angeles, James saw his hope of replacing Kobe Bryant as the king of Los Angeles in the future.

Although the Lakers' position in Los Angeles will be difficult to shake in a short period of time.

But in terms of the current situation of the Lakers......

James knows very well that as long as he can lead the Clippers to continue to play well, then he can beat Kobe Bryant in the wind rating.

After all, humans are so fickle.

Through the 4 Los Angeles derbies with the Lakers this year, the young James has seen a shortcut that can allow him to surpass Wade and others!

In Wang Shuo's previous life, the shrewd Ajan has always been well versed in the essence of traffic.

Because don't look at the many players who have played against him in the Finals in the future, they have "praised" his defense and called him the "No. 1 good guy" in the NBA.

But the alignment and confrontation with Kobe Bryant is definitely the triumph of James' career.

Historically, in 22 career meetings with Kobe, James has averaged 28.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game.

Bryant, on the other hand, averaged 24.2 points, 5.2 assists and 5.0 rebounds per game.

And in his career record against James, Kobe Bryant's shooting percentage was only 42.8%.

In the game, by giving Kobe Bryant a physical confrontation, except for Kobe's occasional hot games, James can basically hide Kobe's switch of "God descends to earth".

Again, that's the same sentence.

Since Kobe's model quality is not as good as that of Boss Joe, the things that Jordan can easily do on the court often mean that Kobe Bryant must complete through more difficult operations.

This also leads to the fact that Kobe's "hard solution of the boiled egg flow" is not as unsolvable as Jordan.

So, James' thoughts at this moment are by no means whimsical.

Because no matter how many defensive problems he has in other games, as long as he holds Kobe Bryant in the Los Angeles derby against the Lakers, then he can get a lot of Kobe Bryant's black support.

In a sense, it's a shortcut.

A perfect corner overtaking route that is far more than a season of hard work and thankless at the end.

The story of James preparing to overtake Kobe Bryant in the corner is not on the table for the time being.

After the end of the regular season, this year's data kings have also been released.

The scoring title was won by Kobe Bryant, the NBA's air-cutting group leader this year, with an average of 33.7 points per game.

The assist leader is Nash, who averages 11.4 assists per game.

The rebounding title was won by Howard, who averaged 13.5 rebounds per game in all 78 games he played for Houston XX.

The king of blocks and steals was won by Marcus Camby and Baron Davis, respectively.

The former averages 3.1 blocks per game, while the latter averages 2.4 steals per game.

According to the schedule, the Knicks' first round of the playoffs against the Hawks will be played on the 21st, with the Knicks playing home and away, and the game is in the 22111 format.

Before the game, it was widely expected that the Knicks would sweep the Hawks 4-0.

But on the evening of the 21st, the Hawks surprised people as soon as they came up.

The NBA's top talent team, consisting of Kwame Brown, Josh Smith, Caron Butler, Joe Johnson, and Livingston, successfully dragged the Knicks into overtime in the G1 game against the Knicks.

With the Hawks' patience, Livingston is averaging 14.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game this year.

In Wang Shuo's memory, Livingston has always had a very soft mid-range two-point feel.

Historically, Livingston shot a whopping 46% from the field in the 06/07 season and made up one-third of his shots.

The only difference in this life is that Livingston has developed the mid-range dry pull that is a headache for small defenders.

Fortunately, through the intensity of the playoffs, Payton Sr. saw through Livingston's offense.

"Rajan, you can push him to a long-range two-point shot when you're defending, and I looked at him and he's not very accurate in that position." At halftime, Payton said to Rondo.

Although Wang Shuo can let Hill go to the opposite position with Livingston as he did in the regular season, and give him a physical confrontation.

But at Peyton's suggestion, Wang Shuo still gave Rondo enough trust in the second half of the game.

Facts have proved that there is an old family and indeed a treasure.

While Livingston has a whopping 45.1 percent mid-range two-point percentage throughout his career, his long-range two-point percentage is far less consistent than his mid-range two-point percentage, with a career shooting percentage of just 39.3 percent.

In the future, Livingston's way of overcoming this weakness is to use back-to-back strikes to get into his best area of attack.

But......

If such a high-level skill as back-to-back hitting is really so easy to practice, then how could James possibly leave a clumsy stereotype in this year's regular season?

In the second half, Rondo really limited Livingston.

Still, on that night, the Hawks used their talent to drag the Knicks into the decisive moment, and before the end, "Single Joe" hit the game-tying three-pointer that dragged the game into overtime.

Joe Johnson is a well-rounded and long-underrated scoring guard with hard breaking ability.

This season, the 201-centimeter-tall and 110-kilogram "Singles Joe" is at the peak of his career, scoring 25.4 points per game for the Hawks in the regular season and has four kills.

In Wang Shuo's view, the main reason that restricts Joe Johnson from becoming a historical-level guard is that his endurance is almost meaningless after gaining weight.

If Wang Shuo remembers correctly, "Singles Joe" had only 42 and 35 career highs in a single game in the regular season and playoffs, respectively.

In this game, when the Knicks themselves did not play well, the Hawks successfully dragged the game into the decisive moment, and only then did they give "Singles Joe" a chance to play.

But in overtime, no matter how talented the young talent of the Hawks is, they will not be able to resist the horn blown by the Knicks' "true core" West.

In overtime, Wang Shuo left the "emoji combination" on the court and swayed West to the third position.

Due to the final quarter of the game, West only played 4 minutes, and only played 31 minutes before the start of overtime, so in the case of staggered travel, West was simply a god on the court, and the Buddha blocked and killed the Buddha.

In overtime, West shot all 5 of them, including free throws, and scored a total of 12 points for the Knicks.

In addition, West also managed to choke "Singles Joe" who helped the Hawks drag the game into overtime on the court.

After going into extra time, "Singles Joe" was at his limit after playing a total of 50 minutes for the team that night.

However, he tried to use his back to pull the attack area closer, but he couldn't resist "Wei Erye", so he naturally could only be invisible in overtime.

In the end, the Knicks defeated the Hawks in overtime.

The final score was 121-134.

After a day of rest, on the 23rd, in the G2 game between the two teams, the Knicks, who had learned the lessons of the last game, defeated the Hawks in only three quarters.

Against other teams, Kwame Brown was able to use his excellent mobility to be the strongest fortress for his teammates.

But in the face of the "meme combination" with the serious mode turned on, Brown exposed his weaknesses completely.

As one of Yao Ming's favorite opponents in his career......

Historically, Yao has averaged 24.6 points and 11 rebounds per game against Brown.

Brown can't hold Yao Ming, and Xiao Yao only needs to do a few simple feints, and Brown will always be tricked by him.

In addition, in addition to his love of jumping, Brown, who always can't grasp the basketball because of his small hands, also gives Duncan the opportunity to show his frontcourt rebounding ability.

On this night, the Knicks' tactical thinking was very simple:

- Yao Ming opened the attack, Duncan opened the grab.

Coupled with the fact that the Hawks failed to drag the game into a decisive moment like the previous game, the weakness of "Single Joe's" lack of high critical hits also became apparent.

In the G2 match, the finishing score of the two teams was 97-123.

Yao Ming shot 15-of-23 from the field, including 1-of-2 from three-point range and 7-of-8 from the free-throw line, for a total of 40 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Duncan didn't score much, just 17 points, but grabbed 21 rebounds, plus eight assists, two blocks and two steals.

Of the 21 rebounds Duncan grabbed for the Knicks, 11 of them were frontcourt rebounds.

On the 25th, the series between the Knicks and the Hawks moved to Phillips Arena in Atlanta.

In this game, the Hawks took the initiative to speed up and stopped the Knicks' offense by fouling, trying to muddy the game and use chaos to win.

But this chaotic battle has given West and J.R. Smith plenty of room to play.

The former scored a total of 25 points, plus four rebounds and four assists in this G3 game.

The latter was 10-of-17 from the field, including free throws and three-pointers, for a total of 34 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist.

Although under the system of Hawks head coach Budenholzer, except for Brown, who is the core of the defense, the other four players on the Hawks court can attack and score.

But the other way around......

The fact that everyone is a soldier also means that in front of the Knicks, who have a higher ceiling, the Hawks are full of loopholes.

In this game, the New York Double Kings didn't even play much, and West and Smith teamed up to carry the Hawks away.

Then, after two days of rest, on the evening of the 28th, the G4 game between the Knicks and the Hawks continued at Phillips Arena.

Budenholzer reinstated the Eagles' tactics in the G1 game.

While letting the Hawks' "Four Heavenly Kings" take turns to attack, in the second quarter of the game and the third quarter of the game, he also retained a certain amount of physical fitness for the Hawks' main players to play the final quarter by staggering the playing time of the main players.

But at the most critical moment, Budenholzer was a desperate discovery......

After the G1 war, the Knicks did get serious on offense.

But the Knicks' defense obviously didn't show their most serious attitude.

Was Wang Shuo deliberately preserving his strength before?

Of course not.

It's just that he doesn't want the Knicks to be in shape so early.

In competitive sports, no matter how good an athlete is, it is impossible to maintain the same competitive condition for a long time.

Therefore, as a good head coach, how to adjust the state of athletes on the field is also quite a profound knowledge.

In the end, 120-100, the Knicks beat the Hawks on the road and successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals with a score of 4-0.

Depending on the matchup, the Knicks' next round match will be the winner between the 76ers and the Celtics.

Last summer, Wang Shuo thought that after Rivers left, the Celtics would become one of the Knicks' main competitors this year.

But I didn't expect it to be, and I didn't wait for my own shot......

D'Antoni led his 76ers to shoot through the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs.

Compared with Rivers, in this round of the series in which the Celtics lost to the 76ers with a score of 3-4, Wang Shuo did not think that the young Stevens had made any fatal mistakes.

Merely......

D'Antoni's team can shoot through any opponent when they are on target.

According to the schedule, the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Knicks and the 76ers will be played on May 8, with the Knicks playing home and away, and the game is still in the 22111 format.

In addition, while the Knicks patiently waited for their Eastern Conference semifinals opponents, the rest of the East and West games in the first round of the playoffs were also divided.

The Heat won the game against the Wizards by a score of 4-2.

On the Internet, many fans believe that the Heat has become weaker this year.

This is because Randolph and Wade still lack chemistry.

At the same time, under Jackson's leadership, the Wizards are indeed on the right track.

Despite losing the first round of the playoffs for two consecutive years, anyone with a discerning eye can see that under Jackson, the duo of Gasol and Arenas played better than under Rivers.

Wizards fans can only blame the East for being too strong during this period.

Facing the Big Three in the upper half of the East, whoever comes will have to be beaten.

On the other hand, the Pacers defeated the Pistons cleanly 4-0 in the first round of the playoffs.

After breaking up with Carlisle, sending away Ray Allen's Pistons certainly solved their internal conflicts, but the price was also obvious.

After this year's playoffs, Billups has officially requested a trade from Pistons management, hoping to go to a more ambitious team next season.

Rashid Wallace, who took a pay cut with the Pistons to renew his contract, also hopes that he can go to a team with championship quality in the new season.

At present, in the Pistons, except for Big Ben, who signed a contract extension with the team last summer, and Prince, who expressed his willingness to stay with the team, the Pistons have become the "star supermarket" in the eyes of those strong teams in the East and West who are eager to strengthen.

In the West, the Mavericks didn't give O'Neal and his Trail Blazers the slightest chance in their game against the Trail Blazers.

Carlisle used a clean 4-0 to add to O'Neal's swept record.

However, this year's Trail Blazers fans did not blame O'Neal for the team being swept out.

Because in the Portlanders' view, if it weren't for O'Neal, they wouldn't even have a chance to return to the playoffs.

After the G4 game, at the Rose Garden Arena, O'Neal, the big hero in the eyes of Portland fans, received a salute from the fans on the spot.

In the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, the Jazz and Houston XX became the most surprising teams.

The former completed the offense against the Nuggets and gave Carmelo Anthony the taste of being dropped for three years in a row.

In the regular season, how hard Camby brushed his data, then in this round of the series, he was beaten by Boozer and Oku.

Nuggets management has seen a problem with the team's personnel structure and intends to send Camby's data brush away this summer.

As for the Houston xx......

Don't say it, as long as Howard doesn't meet Yao Ming, even if he is a shark in his later years, Howard at this time has the power to fight!

Using his terrifying defensive area, Howard from the three-point line to the three-second zone held Jermaine O'Neal in the series against the Suns.

In this series, Iverson didn't do well either.

If it weren't for G4, Harrington and Marion all the way to G7, the Suns would really be eliminated by Houston XX led by Van Gundy Jr., creating a Black Seven tragedy.

Savol, who can understand the ball, is destined to fail to understand the value and role of a player like Marion.

In addition, O'Neal Jr. was personally replaced by him, so he couldn't throw the team to Iverson in the pot of stealing seven by Houston XX......

For the sake of Dior being Cole's "father", Savor naturally could only throw the pot to Marion.

"Sean's autonomous offensive ability is terrible! We need a small forward who can play on the court to help Jemaine and Allen share the offensive pressure! ”

Sarver has taken a fancy to Josh Howard, who has played well with the Mavericks this year, and is averaging 20.8 points per game for Carlisle's already obvious injection.

Because in Saver's eyes, Marion is just the fourth leader of this Suns team, so if Marion can be exchanged for Howard, the second leader of the Mavericks, even if it is a little draft pick, it will be earned in Sarver's opinion.

After all......

The fourth leader of the second in the west, if you want to change the second leader of the first in the west, it is common sense to subsidize the other party a little difference.

According to the schedule, the Western Conference semifinals will be played by the Mavericks against the Grizzlies, the Suns PK Jazz.

Ha?

You ask, where is "Captain James" and his Clippers who want to lead the Clippers forward before the playoffs start?

It's a pity.

Although James averaged 33.5 points per game on 38.5% shooting from the field against the Grizzlies, the Clippers still couldn't escape the fate of being eliminated by the Grizzlies with a score of 4-2.

In this series, under the care of Stephen Jackson, with the playoffs, the referees relaxed the defensive scale of both sides of the game, and no matter how James raised the fire, the referees would not whistle for him as frequently as they did in the regular season.

James couldn't open the game, and the Clippers' twin towers of Carman and Big Z also became the toy of Jefferson and Milicic.

Both Jefferson and Milicic have mobility far above Carman and Big Z.

And......

For Fisher, who is 33 years old at the moment, what is the difference between you letting him defend Ellis and giving points to the Grizzlies?

In this series, the Clippers were able to play Game 6 with the Grizzlies, mainly because Peja and Dunleavy Jr. stepped up.

The former has a whopping 45 percent three-point shooting percentage in this series, and as long as the Clippers can create a shooting opportunity for him, he will immediately hit a three-pointer in front of Battier, who is using a mask to deal with him.

To tell the truth, using the Dafa of concealment to deal with Peja is no different from giving him points.

In Wang Shuo's memory, in the career record with Battier, Peja's three-point shooting rate has always been above 4%.

Battier's strengths are help defence and positioning, but against a top scorer like Peja......

Battier was destined to become nothing more than a backdrop.

In addition, under the guidance of his old father, Dunleavy Jr. also proved himself in this year's playoffs.

The only thing that's embarrassing is that since in this round of the series, the worst performers Carman, Big Z, and Fisher are all loyal servants around the "Captain", so you may not believe it......

After being eliminated by the Grizzlies, James fans believed that it was Peja and Dunlewina Jr.'s crotch defense that led to the Clippers' elimination.

Moreover, James's fans hope that Baylor can quickly fire the cronyistic old Dunleavy so as to make room for Wang Shuo to coach James in the future.

So, life is really unpredictable.

Last year, he was questioned in Cleveland.

This year, we already have a loyal following.

On the NBA stage, anything is possible.

On May 8, the Knicks and the 76ers officially started the G1 game of the Eastern Conference semifinals at Madison Square Garden.

As one of the most famous coaches in the Wang Shuo department, people are expecting D'Antoni and his 76ers to cause some problems for the Knicks in this semifinal.

Then G1 fights......

D'Antoni gave Wang Shuo and the fans a hard job.

On the sidelines, when the game was going on in the final quarter, Wang Shuo, who had been unable to count, looked at Brown curiously and asked: "Counting the ball just now, how many three-pointers have the 76ers missed from the outside in a row?" ”

Brown opened his little notebook and said, "That shot just now is the 21st consecutive three-pointer they have missed tonight." ”

Hearing this, Wang Shuo gasped violently.

At this moment, Wang Shuo just wanted to say:

It's you, Mike D'Antoni!
