This kind of possession in the final few games of the regular season is usually no surprise, and this year is no different.

The king played a game when playing the Spurs, and he didn't fight hard, as if he wanted to wait and see how the supersonic reacted, but the supersonic followed up and gave the Wizards a while, Lin Dong only played for 20 minutes, and the tactical abandonment of the game instantly made the king understand that it was impossible to steal chickens, and he could only work hard to finish the rest of the game honestly, and then maintain the dignity of the second place.

The only thing that was a little surprising was that the Lakers actually lost two games, not a matter of strength, nor did it seem to be a matter of state, the OK combination took turns to rest, and there was a feeling that they wanted to deliberately jump to eighth.

After all, it seems that the OK combination that has come to terms is infinitely confident at this time, and it is already seventh anyway, and it seems to be quite interesting to stage a black eight.

And judging from the Lakers' situation against the Kings and Spurs this season, playing the Kings is 2-2, and playing the Spurs is 3-1, and I feel that it is more cost-effective to play the latter......

However, the Jazz behind them did not compete, the Jazz really didn't want to meet the Spurs, and climbed up with all their strength, but the strength and mentality were not good, so they first lost to the Celtics, then to the Bucks, and finally lost to the Spurs who didn't want to play the Lakers, and grabbed the eighth place with their strength.

On April 2nd, with the end of the Charlotte Bobcats vs. Cleveland Cavaliers, the regular season of the 02-03 season was finally over.

The Cavaliers are first in the East, followed by the Pistons, Wizards, Nets, Pacers, 76ers, Celtics and Bucks.

There is still a big difference from the ranking of the 02-03 season in Lin Dong's memory, mainly because the rise of the Wizards and Cavaliers has squeezed out the positions of the Hornets and Magic.

In the west, it is in line with previous forecasts.

The first Spurs, followed by the Kings, SuperSonics, Mavericks, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, Lakers and Jazz.

The playoff schedule and match times were also announced on the end of the regular season.

On Saturday, April 10, the SuperSonics will host the sixth-ranked Trail Blazers, and the entire series will last about half a month, and the schedule is still relatively tight, almost every other day.

If it passes, the SuperSonics will still face the winner between the Lakers and the Kings on April 26 at the key arena at home.

The SuperSonics and Trail Blazers series, both Seattle fans and teams across the league are fairly unanimous — no play.

The Trail Blazers' interior line originally had a considerable advantage, Rashid Wallace, Randolph, which can be regarded as an interior gate, plus a Pippen, and when they played against the SuperSonics at the beginning of the season, the interior advantage was obvious, and they were also one of the promoters of the SuperSonics' 1-6 loss.

But with the supersonic run turned on, the Trail Blazers played the supersonic three times after that, and all three times they lost without suspense.

On the one hand, it is naturally due to the relatively slow speed of the Trailblazer itself, Roaring Tianzun and Randolph are not considered agile inner lines, and the pure tonnage inner line is completely unable to keep up with the rhythm in the face of this supersonic running and bombing.

The defense can't keep up, the offense can't be bombarded, and the Trail Blazers seem to have no other means to deal with the supersonic rotation defense except for Rashid and Randolph to force the basket.

Pippen, who had high hopes for the Trail Blazers, did not have the majesty of the Big Three when facing this supersonic team, and was beaten into a sieve at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and could not be counted on at all, so that most commentators now predict 4:0 for this series, with a maximum of 4:1.

In contrast, the focus of the first round of fans across the United States was on the Lakers vs. Kings and the Wizards vs. 76ers in the East.

Whether it is the return of the king of the OK combination, or Jordan VS Iverson, that is the hot spot sought after by the league at the moment.

As for the supersonics, it's not that they don't care, it's not that they don't have heat, the opponent is too weak, and they can't pay attention, and the real attraction has to be to see their collision with the Lakers in the second round.

But that obviously doesn't affect the first-round ticket sales for the playoffs at Key Arena.

The home team plays the weak team, although the suspense is not big, but it is still very comfortable for their fans to watch it and decompress.

The current supersonic speed in Seattle has become popular again from the previous 'gradually outdated', the supersonic prince Lin Dong has attracted a large number of young people, and Payton, who has returned from injury, has pulled back many old fans with a tough guy attitude, allowing them to rekindle their passion for basketball and the past years.

For this SuperSonics playoffs, the whole of Seattle is looking forward to it.

Therefore, according to Bob's meaning, he hopes that Schultz will come back for a while, take charge of the overall situation, and take this opportunity to apply to the Seattle government again for special sports support funds to expand the key arena.

After all, there are still too few seats in the key arena, about 14,000 seats, excluding some special tickets, special seats for reporters and media, etc., and the tickets that can really be sold are only about 12,000.

And if it is expanded, it will at least be done on the scale of a large arena of 20,000 people, and in the future, each game can sell an additional 6,000 tickets, and the extra share is already half of the original, absolute net profit, and with the current popularity of supersonic speed, as long as this year's playoffs play the momentum it should have, even if it does not win the championship, there is no need to worry about not selling tickets next year.

But it will have to be filed and approved before the end of the playoffs, both to make the most of the offseason and, more importantly, ......

Schultz's application has been rejected several times before, because the people are not very interested in supersound and oppose the use of taxes on supersound, so taking advantage of the team's current heat in Seattle, if the public referendum, Bob believes that most people will support the Treasury appropriation, but if the playoffs do not win the championship, wait until the time to apply and let the referendum decide, but it is not necessarily safe......

It's a pity that Bob's suggestion was not adopted by Schultz, the trouble on the side of the dragon country is getting him deeper and deeper, and when the team has an emergency, he may not be able to contact him immediately, and the team's management and other things have almost been completely thrown to Bob alone, let alone come back to preside over the declaration of the expansion of the arena.

said that he couldn't pull away, anyway, he gave up all his powers, and let Bob apply for it himself.

Bob R the dog.

MD, it's like I'm the owner of the team...... What's more, authority is the same thing, the playoffs are just around the corner, and the team is now busy with how many things he has to do every day, and he feels that he can't be too busy to split himself in half, so how can he have time to argue with the Seattle government, it's a water mill job.

But it was related to the development of the team, and it had to be done, and it turned out to be Yang Donglai's help.

That is, a few days before the start of the game with the Trailblazers, Yang Dong and Fuyao's second appeal lost again, and was ordered by the federal court not to appeal again for half a year.

The Ministry of Justice on Fuyao's side is naturally already preparing the third appeal materials, and it is determined to go to the end with the American Chamber of Commerce, but for Yang Dong, the lawsuit does not have to worry about her for the time being.

There is no need for her to run in person to collect all kinds of appeal materials, and because she is caught in a lawsuit and suppressed by the American Chamber of Commerce, many old customers in the factory have abandoned her, resulting in a significant reduction in orders.

There is no need to fight the lawsuit for the time being, and the sales business that was once very busy does not need to run for the time being, Yang Dong is also completely idle, so he simply plans to accompany his son to see what the NBA playoffs are all about, and she has the right to relax and relax, she has really been physically and mentally exhausted for most of the past six months.

But there is no way, this person is busy, and she can't be idle......

On the day they arrived, Bob and Peyton came out to dinner, and during the casual chat, they inadvertently mentioned the application to Lindon about applying for the arena, where they complained about Schulz, and talked about the trouble of the application process, and the young director of the Seattle finance department who was born at the University of Pennsylvania was very difficult.

Yang Dongzheng is bored, so when he hears this, isn't it a coincidence, her personal assistant little fan sister is a top student at the University of Pennsylvania, and according to age, she should be the same as Bob and the young director of the Ministry of Finance, and they are all operations management, maybe they know each other.

So after a phone call to Texas to ask, Alisa immediately agreed to come over to help, saying that it should be her senior brother, and asked the alumni circle how they could connect online, including the team's declaration of the new stadium, etc., and they could also help them.

Bob is overjoyed, this kind of declaration, it's not that he can't find someone to do it, but he can't find someone who can reassure him to do it, and Yang Dong's name he has heard of for a long time, the woman who dares to litigate with the American Chamber of Commerce, and the mother of the star of her own team, can this do things make you feel at ease? What's more, people don't want to be paid, just help for nothing.

So I gave a lot of gratitude, and what materials and expenses were needed, the team management must fully cooperate.

Fortunately, although Schulz almost emptied the team's books last month, this playoffs have started, G1 and G2 tickets have been sold out, and ticket prices have soared, the average price has reached 400 sheets, and the team still has more than 8 million US dollars on its books, which is enough to operate.

………………

In addition, there are still a lot of things to watch in the days leading up to the start of the game.

The main thing is the official voting competition for several major awards.

Best Rookie.

For the supersonic or for the United States, there is almost no suspense at all about this award.

Even if there are a group of super rookies such as Wade, Anthony, and Bosh participating in the competition, they are undoubtedly overshadowed in front of Lin Dong's data.

He scored 37.8 points in his rookie season, the scoring champion this season, even surpassing Jordan's regular season all-time high of 37.1, ranking third in NBA history today, behind the two records of the ancient Chamberlain.

And if you take into account your rookie season...... Even if it was Zhang 20,000, who used to be a dick, his rookie season was only 37.5 points.

Lin Dong's record is already the first in NBA history.

This must be the undoubted rookie and first line, the only suspense for the supersonic is to see if Hanamichi Sakuragi can squeeze into the second or third team of the best rookie.

And with Lin Dong's terrifying record, the regular season MVP began to be full of suspense.

Lin Dong is undoubtedly the target of the nomination, but the competition is no longer Wade, a first-year rookie, but Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant, and Garnett.

Originally, O'Neal and Maddy were competitive, but the former missed too many games this season, and although the latter won the second place in the scoring list with an average of 33.4 per game, the team did not even enter the playoffs, so it was naturally basically disqualified.

Judging from the current trend of official voting, the support rate of the four people is roughly the same, but the specific results will not be announced until around the 20th.

So the team did their job, Mom took a small team pulled over by Alice and began to help run the application for the expansion of the arena, the team was training as usual, Peyton went to Yangping every day for acupuncture and moxibustion, everything seemed to be in order.

Soon, on April 10, the first round of the playoffs officially began......
