Chapter 120: [Playoffs are coming]
In the last 29 seconds, each team theoretically has an attack.
The East currently leads by 1 point.
The west has the time initiative.
It's hard to say who wins and who loses.
"They're not going to cut sharks, are they?"
O'Neill Jr. said with a little worry on the bench.
"That's not going to be, the All-Star Game, Da Ya Tang, I believe they won't be so shameless."
O'Neill shook his head firmly.
Everyone also thinks so, after all, it is morally untenable to hack sharks in the All-Star Game.
At this time, LeBron James proposed to Carlisle that he wanted to play at the last moment.
As a starter for the team, and he scored 25 points tonight, he had a good performance, and if the East wins, he has a chance to win the MVP. He's going to fight for it anyway.
However, his voice just fell. Arenas next to him pushed back: "Coach, we have such a good chemistry now, we shouldn't be replaced." â
O'Neal patted James on the shoulder: "LeBron, I just want you to help me win." You're a good brother. But now we're playing better, you rest first, and then you'll have a chance. â
After O'Neal said this, James was not able to argue with reason.
From beginning to end, Suhi did not speak.
James doesn't play or not, it doesn't matter to him at all. Anyway, he's going to go it alone with the ball.
Backbite!
The whistle blew.
There were no substitutions in the west either.
Kobe Bryant received the serve past half court and came to the top of the three-point line, where Suhi wrapped it up.
The players pulled away.
Obviously, Kobe Bryant is going to single Suhi.
Su Xi defended very closely.
Bryant swooped in from the top of the arc, one step at a time, two steps, a stop, a turn, a back, a shot... The technical moves are very clever and tricky.
There are a lot of people who say that Kobe Bryant's skills are better than Jordan's.
But there are also many people who say that Jordan's ability is a notch better than Kobe, because Jordan only needs two dribbles at most to solve the battle in the face of defense, his physical fitness is better, and the offensive threat is greater.
Kobe Bryant's overall talent is good, but the number of super talents he has is not much, not even as good as Suhi.
If Sushi absorbs all of Kobe's super offensive skills, Suhi's offensive threat will be greater than Kobe's.
This is Kobe's regret, because there is still a gap between physical fitness and pervert level, so he must use more technology to mend it.
Even so, Kobe's offensive level is among the best in history, and in terms of one-on-one heads-up, he may really be able to beat Jordan.
But if it's a five-on-five full game, Kobe Bryant's damage will be weaker than Jordan's. Because he needs to use more technology to solve the problem.
Sushi was tackled by Kobe.
Although he defended to the extreme, Kobe Bryant's anti-jamming ability is the best in history.
The basketball pierces the net with precision.
Swish!
Hit!
The Western Force is ahead by 1 point.
There are 11 seconds left in the race.
The fans at the Denver arena stood up and let out a flood of screams.
This year's All-Star has played so far, and it is completely a peak matchup in the peak matchup.
In the Cheer Provincial, Suhi quickly received O'Neal's serve.
There was no timeout at all.
He took the ball and ran towards the front.
He dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Kobe Bryant chased after him, Suhi paused slightly at the top of the three-point arc, and then accelerated suddenly, his explosiveness and speed are already the ultimate in today's league.
Although no one praised Suhi as much as Iverson and Maddie.
But Sushi already has de facto the first step of the alliance and the second step of the alliance.
After Suhi took two steps, he had already pulled Kobe Bryant into a physical position.
To Susie's surprise, Garnett didn't come up at the last moment.
He was in a hurry, and he made a stop-and-go jump shot... It's smooth and moist.
There's a feeling of being done in one go.
After making a move, Su Xi knew that he would definitely advance.
Even if Kobe Bryant's defense was timely, he interfered with Suhey's vision.
But for Suxi, who now has 87 super offensive skills, this 'trick' is nothing.
Swish!
The basketball was caught.
The East is once again ahead by 1 point.
There are 1.6 seconds left in the race.
There was no pause in the Western Army.
Under the full-court defense of the East, the West completed the serve, and Bryant threw the basketball out of the backcourt without touching the basket, and the game was over.
The scene was boiling, and the mountains were shouting tsunami.
Although Suhi hit the ball after coming on and only hit one goal.
But the Colorado fans have been there with a chorus of shouts: MVP! MVPïŒ MVPïŒ
Su Xi also unceremoniously raised his hands to greet the cheers of the audience.
"He seems to have scored a goal." James on the sidelines said sourly.
O'Neill had already carried Susie on his shoulders. Arenas and they also ran over and jumped up and high-fived Suhey.
Suhi is treated like a hero.
His last goal stole everyone's light.
James was jealous.
I was also very unconvinced.
Why?
I played so well all over the pitch and he scored a goal, and they bowed down, but what about me? I am the chosen one!
Whoever this is, my heart is unbalanced.
Dwyanwade smiled and patted James on the shoulder: "You see, O'Neal is happy like a child. â
James didn't have time to appreciate O'Neal's smile, and he was even sadder than Kobe Bryant.
David Stern then announced this year's All-Star Game MVP, and O'Neal, who had 21 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, was elected All-Star Game MVP.
He held the trophy aloft.
The whole audience is running.
also deliberately ran to the western bench and twisted his ass.
The comedic effect is full.
The drama conflict is also full.
The media naturally gave Kobe Bryant a close-up.
Kobe's face stinks like a stone in a pit, and he doesn't need to be deliberately edited, just looking at the comparison between the two is enough to make the audience feel their emotions. One is complacent, the other gritted his teeth.
This kind of hatred tension is much greater than those third-rate Hollywood movies.
"Thank you to the NBA, thank you to Denver, thank you to your teammates in the East, thank you to Sushie the Sheep. Suhi the Sheep is the best defender I've worked with. â
"He's got a lot of attacking firepower, he's got a passing game, and he's got the final word."
"Half of this MVP trophy belongs to him."
O'Neill gave his acceptance speech, saying that he was going to pull Suhi up.
Suhi hurriedly ran away.
He didn't want to be in the limelight.
Kobe Bryant's face stinked like that, and he ran over to show affection with O'Neal. Isn't this deliberately irritating Kobe? With Kobe's character, he can't stop calling himself for ten days and half a month.
O'Neal then went on to make a lot of weird remarks, saying that he was happy in Miami, found himself, had a great All-Star Game this year, and finally played the basketball ...... he wanted.
The all-star awards ceremony was made into a breakup ring by him.
After the award was over, Suhi slipped away for the first time, but he didn't expect to meet Kobe Bryant in the player tunnel.
He waved to Kobe Bryant in embarrassment.
Kobe Bryant walked over: "Your offensive skills are improving very quickly." â
"Did you learn Iverson's technique too? Your assault jumper just now is very similar to him, the 1.9-meter Iverson. â
Bryant analyzes purely from a technical aspect.
Suxi was stunned: No. I'm purely learning from you.
But after thinking about it, his explosive speed is so strong, his body flexibility is even fuller, coupled with super coordination and agility, the effect of playing Iverson is also deserved.
"If you can't prevent it, you can't prevent it, learn from you for a while, and learn from Iverson for a while. I'm just a superstar in my own right. Sushi deliberately provoked Kobe Bryant so much.
This is how he communicates with Kobe.
Kobe Bryant likes Suhi's 'stinky fart'.
"Okay, I hope that the next time we fight, you can still be so arrogant." Kobe Bryant dropped the harsh words.
"Then we'll have to wait until next season." Suhi said honestly: "We won't meet again in the regular season, and it will be even more difficult to meet in the playoffs. â
Bryant's chest was visibly swollen, and he must have been angry.
"Come to the Lakers next season, I'll teach you how to play." Bryant pressed.
Sushi patted Kobe Bryant on the shoulder. "Let's talk about it in the offseason."
âŠ
Suhee and Megan Fox met up in the evening, at the Colorado airport.
Suhee and O'Neal Jr. took a flight back to Indiana and Megan Fox went to Tennessee.
Megan Fox took the initiative to come over and greet Suhey, who was generous.
Suxi also communicated with her naturally, and the two chatted for a while, and Suxi also signed Meghan Fox's jersey.
And this time, they finally left each other with a way to communicate.
O'Neal Jr. was stunned when he watched from the side, he originally thought that Suhi had at least hit a home run with Megan Fox, but he didn't expect to be so polite when they met now, and he left his phone number.
On the plane back to Indiana, O'Neal Jr. couldn't help but say to Suhey: "I originally thought that you and Megan Fox had been together for a long time, but I didn't expect nothing to happen to you." â
"Every day I'm either playing or on my way. How can there be time for so many stories to happen, and the media are all reporting randomly. Suxi also said distressedly.
"Actually, if you want stories to happen, you can have five, six, seven or eight stories every away game. A lot of women approach us just to have a story with you......" O'Neill Jr. said.
Suhey didn't continue the conversation with O'Neal Jr., saying, "Jermaine, do you think we can win the championship this season? â
"Of course! Ron is coming back soon, and we're now No. 1 in the East, and we're about to be No. 1 in the league. O'Neill Jr. said with great confidence: "Where is our opponent in the east?" Counting the West, the Spurs can play. We're all invincible! â
O'Neill Jr. is confident.
It's not blind confidence yet.
The Pacers are really strong this year, and Suhee is evolving faster. Although when he plays randomly, he is in conflict with the team's overall offense and defense.
But as soon as he blends in, the Pacers can immediately become the league's first-class offensive and defensive powerhouse.
"Jack, if we continue to fight like this, we can win at least five consecutive championships!" O'Neal Jr. said excitedly: "Modern basketball has not yet won five consecutive championships." â
Suhi smiled.
He didn't answer O'Neill Jr.'s words.
Because, he has already decided to leave Indiana next season.
He has now reached his own personal bottleneck and he wants to continue to grow. With Indiana, although I was able to win all the time, there was no challenge.
Moreover, the basketball market on Indiana's side is indeed a little less.
Nike has been beating the side drum every now and then since last November, hoping that Sushi will leave Indiana to go to a big-ball city team.
Now, the whole league is looking forward to it.
Suhi was the most talked-about free-market fish in the summer of 2005.
âŠ
With Ron Artest's return, the Pacers have been further strengthened.
The team's win rate is rising.
Suxi also gradually gave up the 'iron style of play'. On the one hand, it is because the super offensive technique is in the late stage, and it is becoming more and more difficult to improve. On the other hand, what is needed is also high-quality and difficult iron.
When the Pacers open up their line, few teams will play a three-man smash for Sushy, and the frequency of two-man smashes is decreasing, and they are willing to adopt the 'Jordan's Rule' for Sushy.
Fast forward to March, and then April.
The 2004-2005 regular season officially ended when the Pacers defeated the New Jersey Nets 121-108 at home.
Although the Pacers have endured the Auburn Hills Palace brawl this season, Suhi has been honing his offensive skills for a long time. But they still have 63 wins this season, which is high in the first place in the East.
In second place in the East is the Miami Heat, who have 59 wins.
Third place went to the Detroit Pistons.
Fourth place Chicago Bulls.
Fifth place Boston Celtics.
Sixth place Washington Wizards.
Seventh, Philadelphia Seven and Six.
No. 8 New Jersey Nets.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are once again ninth in the East. They're sad because they and the Nets are both 42 wins, but the Nets have won more games in their meetings, and the Cavaliers are deep in the Devil's Central Division, the Pacers, Pistons, and Bulls are all from the Central Division, and they can only leave in fourth place in the Central Division.
However, this is not a blessing for the Cavaliers.
If they manage to grab a ticket to the last train and make the playoffs in eighth place, they will meet Suhi's Pacers in the first round.
With Su Xi's retributive character, the Cavaliers will inevitably be humiliated.
However, when I think so, I don't forgive people in my mouth.
The Cleveland media complained like a little girl, saying that the format was unfair, that the team with the same record should play another game to score the winner, and that it was unclear that they were eliminated....
However, the rules have long been clearly formulated.
To lose is to lose.
The Eastern Conference playoff roster is out.
There is also a way out on the western side.
Finishing first in the West was the Phoenix Suns, who overtook the San Antonio Spurs in their final games.
But the Spurs know that they will do some actuarial calculations before the playoffs begin to figure out the best opponents to advance.
And it's customary to take a rest before the playoffs begin.
Third in the West is the Seattle SuperSonics.
Fourth place Dallas Mavericks.
Fifth place Houston Rockets.
Sixth, King Satmento.
No. 7 Denver Nuggets.
Eighth Memphis Grizzlies.
From this ranking, it is not difficult to see that ranking second in the west is the best position.
What is surprising is that the Minnesota Timberwolves, last year's Western Conference regular season champions, did not even make the playoffs this season.
On the one hand, it is because of the fierce competition in the West, and on the other hand, it is also a good proof that Kevin Garnett's leadership is far inferior to Tim Duncan, or even as good as Nowitzki.
Although Garnett is very energetic, he yells on the court, which can motivate his teammates.
However, leading a team is not just a matter of shouting.
The Timberwolves and Garnett's contract is deeply bound, but when Garnett is a leader, there will always be accidents. Stephen Marbury had a good record with him, but Marbury ran away. This season, Sprewell's contract extension also made a splash, and it was the Timberwolves who were hurt in the end.
However, in the media coverage, the two men were basically accused of being insatiable, and no one ever criticized Garnett.
As everyone knows, Garnett's two super billionaire contracts are the bane of all this.
