NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 443 playoffs begin
After a few days of rest, the playoffs are coming soon. The first round of the playoffs are as follows:
The first is the east.
The first in the East, the Pacers against the eighth Eagles in the East;
The No. 2 Heat in the East vs. the No. 7 Hornets in the East;
The 3rd Raptors in the East vs. the 6th Nets in the East;
Eastern Terrain The Bulls face the Fifth Wizards in the Eastern Conference.
West side.
The No. 1 Trail Blazers in the West vs. the No. 8 Lakers in the West;
The No. 2 Spurs in the West vs. the No. 7 Grizzlies in the West;
The third Thunder in the West vs. the Sixth Warriors in the West;
The fourth Clippers in the West face off against the fifth Mosaic in the West.
Now it seems that there is basically no possibility of the following classes in these matches. If it is possible, it is the match between the Spurs and the Grizzlies and the two teams between the Clippers and the Mosaic team. chances are slightly higher.
The previous group matchup was because the Grizzlies once completed the black eight against the Spurs. Although the regular season records of the two sides this year are too different, when the outside world looks at this group matchup, they can’t help but have some fantasy elements in it.
As for the latter group, one is that the regular season records of the two sides are relatively close, and the other is that the outside world still has great expectations for this new "ok" combination of Mosaic.
Ask yourself, don't watch Howard get beaten down every time he encounters Wang Zelin this season, but that's only when the opponent is Wang Zelin.
Have you seen it? Howard may not be as dominant at the rim as he was in the Magic period a few years ago when he plays against other players, but people have to admit that he is still one of the best big men in the league.
This season, Howard played for Mosaic, played all 71 starts, with an average playing time of 33.7 minutes, and still maintained a contribution of 18+12+1.8+1.8.
In terms of offense, Howard, who averaged 18 points per game, can definitely rank in the top ten among the starting centers of 30 teams in the league, which is the upper level.
Except for the top players like Love, Wang Zelin, Griffin, and Aldridge who have averaged more than 20 points per game, Howard is by no means inferior to anyone in scoring.
As for the defensive end, although the terrifying under-the-basket hegemony of the three-time Defensive Player of the Year in the Magic period is no longer there, in the end, Yu Wei still remains.
This season, in the direct confrontation with the major defensive giants about defensive efficiency, Howard still often appears in the media and fans in the voting for the Defensive Player of the Year award in recent days.
Although the best player of the year is definitely not related to Howard, because everyone can see that there are many good big men this year who are better than Howard on the defensive end.
For example, Wang Zelin and Qiao Jinnuoah, the two most popular Defensive Players this year.
For another example, Roy Hibbert, the main center of the Eastern Pacers, the main center of the Clippers, Jordan, and the Thunder's Optimus Prime Ibaka, etc., are all interior players with outstanding defensive efficiency this year.
But no matter what, Howard was the first center in the league after all!
Coupled with the fact that there is another super scorer James Harden in the Mosaic team who has shown a rising momentum, it is no wonder that the outside world is so optimistic about the Morden combination.
To be honest, even Wang Zelin himself is quite optimistic about Mosaic.
Because of his arrival, the history of the NBA has been different from the one he remembered.
In memory, the Clippers' first-round opponent was the Warriors, while the Mosaic's first-round opponent was the Trail Blazers.
Now that everyone's opponents in the first round have changed, what will happen when the real game is played?
He really doesn't know.
However, considering that the Blazers successfully advance to the first round, the opponents in the second round will basically be born between the Clippers and the Mosaic team.
Therefore, he is more inclined to his Western Conference semifinal opponent is the Mosaic team, rather than the Clippers.
This is not to say how much he fears the Clippers trio. On the contrary, no one knows the Clippers or Paul's bad luck better than him.
If you look at Paul with the memory of his later generations, Paul’s NBA career in the early and mid-term can be described as full of tragedies.
Whenever Paul came to a further node in his career, the goddess of fate always loved to joke with him, and always preferred to stand on the side of Paul's opponent.
That's how it was in wasp times,
This was the case in 2008 and Kobe Bryant's true MVP period,
The same goes for the Clippers,
Even when he was later partnered with Harden, it was still the same when he played for Space City.
Regardless of whether it is metaphysics or a bumpy fate, Paul still hasn't won a championship ring until the end of 2020, when Wang Zelin's original body crossed over.
Of course, the above are only some of the reasons.
The bigger reason is that Wang Zelin wants to personally destroy the Morden combination in the playoff matchup.
The regular season is different from the playoffs. The latter's gold content is obviously higher in the eyes of the outside world, so he is eager to use a series-defeating victory to truly witness the rise of his league's top center.
Master Huo, it is a very good background board.
Of course, before that, Wang Zelin and his teammates need to defeat the challenge from the Los Angeles Lakers. Although they have high confidence in advancing to the first round, they are after all an opponent composed of professional basketball players, led by Black Mamba Kobe Bryant. They still dare not take this team lightly. Stop being careless.
The administrator has a good saying: Despise the enemy strategically, and pay attention to the enemy tactically!
The current state of mind of the Trail Blazers fits this description.
...
April 20.
The first series of the playoffs of the 2013-2014 season officially started.
That night, the league arranged a total of 4 games, namely:
The third East Raptors VS the sixth East Nets;
Western Conference Third Thunder VS Western Conference Sixth Warriors;
The No. 1 Pacers in the East VS the Eighth Eagles in the East;
The No. 2 Spurs in the West vs the No. 7 Grizzlies in the West.
As for the Blazers game, the blame is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. tomorrow, April 21.
At 7:00 p.m., the Pacers-Hawks game is still half an hour away.
The Pacers this season can be described as a sudden emergence. If there are several championship-looking teams selected this year, the Pacers are definitely one of them.
Therefore, their first game in the first round of the playoffs also received a lot of attention from other teams in the league.
Before the game, Wang Zelin called.
"Hey George, still in the locker room?"
"Hmm~"
"Listen to the voice, are you a little nervous?"
"No, nothing."
"No way, man, it's just an eagle, or bet on which of our two teams swept the opponent 4-0 in the first round first."
"Wow, Wang, don't blow it, don't forget that your opponent is Kobe..."
"Che, that guy is already old, and now the league is ours and the world. You kid will be better this year. After you kill LeBron, the two of us will be able to fight with bayonets on the finals stage. Don't lose the chain. !"
"..."
Damn, this kid is too crazy.
After hearing Wang Zelin's arrogant words of "sprinkling water in the finals", Paul George jumped up in fright and was speechless.
But for some reason, it sounded like this made his blood boil instantly, and he just wanted to do a good job at night and smash the eagle.
Now the alliance is our world...
Do you fight bayonet in the finals?
Sounds like it's not bad!
"OK, I also congratulate you on your smooth entry into and out of the division, and then... the finals are waiting to be slaughtered by us!"
At this moment, Paul George also showed some arrogance that belongs to young people.
"Haha," Wang Zelin laughed when he heard the words, "That's right, this is the Paul George I remember... Well, let's say that, see you in the finals!"
Then, Wang Zelin hung up the phone.
The Pacers overcame the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals and advanced to the finals.
Is such a scenario possible?
Of course it is possible!
If I remember correctly, the Pacers Five Tigers are the strongest opponents of the Miami Big Three in the past few seasons. Last season, the two sides fought seven games in the Eastern Conference finals.
It stands to reason that the Pacers can rank first in the East this season, and Paul George and his teammates must be stronger than last season.
But why, in my impression, the Pacers only played six games against the Heat this year before losing. Except for the team leader Paul George's experience in leading the team is not as good as that of James, I am afraid there is still the psychological left after losing to the Heat last year. shadow.
Now, the reason why Wang Zelin chose to plant a seed in Paul George's heart in the first round is not to wait for the future to take root.
Because he knows that, if nothing else, the Pacers will advance all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals this year, competing with the Heat for the only ticket to the Finals.
If it is because of a present agreement and a simple stimuli that Paul George can play stronger than in the original history, it is worth the money.
Of course, Wang Zelin is not optimistic that Paul George can explode in the Eastern Conference finals and kill the Heat and James. As long as Paul George can lead the team to fight with the Heat for 7 games like last year, and consume more James, Wang Zelin will be satisfied.
Big Brother Pickled Pepper, don't forget that I'm disappointed!
...
More than two hours later.
portland.
"This kid can do it!"
"I actually won!"
"Fuck!"
At this moment, Wang Zelin felt that there were only two words to describe his mood.
In addition to the game of the Pacers, Wang Zelin also paid attention to the other three games. Among them, the game between the Pacers and the Thunder, he paid the most attention.
In the end, when he saw that the Pacers' first-round results were very different from what he remembered, his mood was still very mixed.
99:92!
In the first game of the first round of the Pacers, the Atlanta people came with a 6-point advantage and returned in disappointment. Paul George and his teammates defended their home court.
As for Wang Zelin, he really never expected that Paul George actually won the first game.
Originally, he always thought that he was in the West, and the biggest impact should be the other teams in the West.
Looking at it now, the arrival of my little butterfly has changed many young players.
Catfish works!
Suddenly, he thought of this little knowledge he had seen in the textbook before.
He realized that it was precisely because of the arrival of his catfish that the pressure on the young people of his generation in the league had doubled, and naturally he could only work harder to improve his strength.
After all, among the young people of his generation, Wang Zelin, who debuted less than two years ago, is too dazzling.
Before he knew it, he had already surpassed other players of his generation, becoming not only the leader of this generation of young players, but also the superstars of the Mesozoic generation.
But ask yourself, no one wants to be a star among the stars and the moon!
In fact, as long as Wang Zelin has not yet won the championship and truly achieves the top spot in the league, other players of the younger generation will feel:
As long as they work hard, there is still hope to catch up with Wang Zelin's figure; but if they don't work hard, they really can only follow Wang Zelin's voice and suffer losses and become the tears of the times.
Sometimes from a different angle, Wang Zelin figured out everything.
If this trend continues, the Pacers may really be able to kill the Eagles and advance to the second round in just a few games.
He couldn't help rubbing his chin, frowning slightly: things are starting to get interesting.
As for that, isn't he worried about pressure from other young players?
Just kidding, this kind of remark is an insult to a hanging 13!
If the Pacers can really overturn the Heat and advance to the finals, is it too late for him to be happy?
Small pickled peppers, come to the bowl.
"A group of bloodthirsty ants, attracted by carrion..."
The phone rang.
Wang Zelin looked down,
Good guy, say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here.
On the caller ID, it was Paul George on the opposite side.
"beep~"
After connecting, Wang Zelin subconsciously put the phone away from his ear.
"Wang, have you finished appreciating your uncle and my performance tonight? Just match the group of turtle grandchildren in Atlanta, and you still want to beat me, dream!"
Sure enough, as soon as the phone was connected, there was Paul George's incomparably flaunting voice from the opposite end~www.mtlnovel.com~ Cut, you are still as hot as ever! The Atlanta Hawks are nothing but 6 points, and they were almost overtaken in the final quarter... That's all? "
Wang Zelin was not used to him, and pretended to mock him.
"Yo, so you're brave?"
"Just kidding, I'm super brave!"
"Hey! Then tomorrow I'll be waiting to hear your battle report."
"Just wait, I want at least a double-digit point difference for the Lakers."
"Cut, who can't brag."
"..."
After a cup of tea.
The two chatted for a long time, and Wang Zelin couldn't help but hang up the phone first.
He was afraid that if the chat continued, the YY plots of the one-time super-Lei Balong, the two-time super old blacksmith, and the three-time super basketball **** would all be discussed...
