Chapter 238 New mission, start of the playoffs, advance to the second round!
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the template's own badge: Human Weapon (Diamond)!"
???
and also?
This is the fourth badge!
Li Wan quickly clicked on the introduction of the "Eleventhlon" badge:
"Weapon on Earth: As the all-round king of eleven offenses with comprehensive offensive methods, the host's ability to read and defend on the offensive end has increased by 20%!"
"Ding, it was detected that the host's back-to-basket singles ability is not up to the standard and cannot be activated. Please, the host should increase his back-to-back ability to 70 points as soon as possible!"
Nima!
Li Wan's egg hurts for a while.
Looking at the offense panel:
视野：85（90）；控球：85（90）；传球：80（85）；中投：91（95）；三分：75（85）；突破：80（88）；上篮：80（86）；背身：30（85）；扣篮：80（88）；原地扣篮：35（50）；进攻卡位:61（80）；空切：80（88）；无球跑位：80（85）；
Uh……
This 30-point back ability is indeed a bit too eye-catching.
practice!
Must practice!
Even for the attributes of this "weapon on earth" badge, Li Wan had to practice it.
Speaking of which, Leonard can be regarded as the least famous of the "weapons in the world".
Because when it comes to Leonard, the first reaction is his defense, and the second reaction is his "frame-stuck mid-range jumper".
But in fact, he knows all eleven offensive abilities in the NBA, and he has even reached the level of proficiency in post-up, mid-range and catch-and-shoot.
他后来有一项非常恐怖的数据：自15-16赛季之后，每个赛季都有4—6种进攻方式回合占比超过10%或在10%左右，7—9种进攻方式回合占比在4%以上，而且不管哪一种进攻方式，效率都能够保证。
This is why when it comes to Leonard, the general opinion is that his offensive ability is better than DeRozan.
A little girl who knows only one or two tricks, and an aunt who has eighteen martial arts skills, will definitely bring you a different experience!
Compared with the former, the latter will certainly make you feel more defenseless!
How could she play tricks there?
But in fact, if you really look at their career data, you will find that Leonard averaged 27.1 points per game and shot 47.1% in the highest season of his career!
DeRozan's season with the highest scoring average, averaging 27.9 points per game and shooting 50.4 from the field!
From the perspective of efficiency, not including when he was a role player in his rookie season, Leonard's highest shooting percentage was 51.2% in the season, scoring 24.8 points, and DeRozan was 53.1%, averaging 22.1 points per game!
Just talking about the regular season, whether it is scoring or scoring efficiency, the two are actually similar.
It is the single scoring method and fragile psychology that made DeRozan finally reduced to a "regular season star".And Leonard, who has a variety of methods, makes others not only pay attention to his mid-range shots when defending him.
As for the more difficult shots, don't think too much about it. It's just like the "11-knife man" in my department, with weak footsteps and explosive power, and can't get rid of it cleanly.
It's just that his historical-level static talent allows him to make steady shots in such an environment.
Strength and static talent are where he is truly better than DeRozan!
If only he had DeRozan's athleticism...
Judging from the overall data on the offensive end, although the change is not great, Li Wan's ball handling ability has reached 90 points after getting Leonard's template.
In this way, Li Wan has two offensive abilities with a potential of 90 points.
Of course, the biggest change must be Li Wan's dynamic talent. The three strengths, explosive power, physical fitness and jumping have all reached more than 90 points.
When these abilities are fulfilled, it is no exaggeration to say that Li Wan will have the top physical talent in history.
However, this is quite normal. Leonard's static talent plus DeRozan and jr-Smith's dynamic talent, if this is not a historical talent, is there any reason?
His eyes continued to move down, and Li Wan looked at the template upgrade task again.
S-level is not the end, and we can continue to upgrade...
This is why Li Wan is satisfied with this template.
Like DeRozan's template upgrade task, it is an honorary achievement in his career.
Li Wan needs to match these honorary achievements.
You don’t need to look at the data, most of them have already shown “Completed”.
Leonard is indeed close in terms of statistics, with a maximum score of 45 points, which is also the level of Li Wan's rookie season.
In terms of rebounds and assists, he has also surpassed.
Now there are still 7 steals in a single game and the task of "Season Steals King" has not been completed...
Li Wan's current highest number of steals in a single game is 6, and he has completed two or three times. Now that his defensive ability has improved so much, and he has the badge of "Death Coil", he believes that there will be no major problems in completing this task. !
For Li Wan, the "Season Steals King" has always been within reach, but he has never been able to get it. In the previous two seasons, Li Wan averaged around 2 steals per game, ranking third in the league~No. between 5.
Then there is the aspect of honor.
Compared with DeRozan, Leonard's honor is much more gorgeous.
but……
Two championships and two finals MVPs, completed!
An All-Star MVP trophy, completed!
Five-time All-Star, done!
……
There are still 3 tasks left to be completed.
The first is the best lineup of 5 times.
At present, Li Wan has entered 4 times, and once again this season, the task will be completed.
It's just a matter of time...
This season, Li Wan ranked first in the regular season MVP list, so it is impossible not to be in the best team!
Then came the 7-time All-Defensive Team.
This should also be a matter of time. Li Wan has won the "Best Defensive Team" three times so far. If he makes it this year, it will be four times, which is still three times short.
Finally, in Li Wan's opinion, the most difficult task:
2 times "Best Defensive Player Award"!
The good news is...
The "Best Defensive Player Award" for the next two years will be Marc Gasol and Joakim Noah...
Compared with Howard and Big Ben, the historical "best defensive player", these two people are worse!
The pressure of competition is not that great!
In short, if all goes well, Li Wan will be able to have the next template in three years.
That is, in the summer of 15, the template evolved to SS rank!
15...
It happened to be the time when I met "Cosmic Brave"...
That was indeed not an era when defense alone could win!
……
After closing the system panel, Li Wan walked out of the shower room.
Frankly speaking, Li Wan was not very satisfied with the products delivered by the system this time, but thinking about it carefully, if it was SSR every time, then his luck would be too much.
And anyway...
Greatly strengthened the defensive end...
If there is an increase, the tasks of these four years will not be in vain!
With the end of the season, the league's East and West seats also have final results.
The first to eighth in the Eastern Conference are:
New York Knicks;
Chicago Bulls;
Miami Heat;
New Jersey Nets;
Orlando Magic;
Indiana Pacers;
Philadelphia 76ers;
Atlanta Hawks;
According to this seat, the opponent of the New York Knicks in the first round is the Atlanta Hawks who just traded the "Eagle King".
The second Bulls opponent is the Philadelphia 76ers;
The third Heat team met the Pacers;
The fourth-place New Jersey Nets played against the Orlando Magic;
The first to eighth in the West are:
San Antonio Spurs;
Oklahoma City Thunder;
Los Angeles Clippers;
Los Angeles Lakers;
Memphis Grizzlies;
Dallas Mavericks;
Portland Trail Blazers;
Utah Jazz;
The four Western Conference playoffs this year are: Spurs VS Jazz; Thunder VS Trail Blazers; Clippers VS Mavericks; Lakers VS Grizzlies.
Among the eight duels, there are only two duels that make the outside world feel suspenseful:
A duel between fourth and fifth on both sides.
That is, the Eastern Nets VS Magic, and the Western Lakers VS Grizzlies.
The momentum after the reorganization of the Magic is really scary. After the All-Star Game, they won 32 of the 24 games and lost only 8 games. The winning rate is as high as 75%!
According to this winning percentage, if they play all 82 games, they will get 62 wins...
How terrifying is this record...
The New York Knicks, the No. 63 in the East this year, only won 61 wins, while the Bulls, the No. [-] in the East, only won [-]!
这样的状态，以至于外界都看好魔术队会在6场或者7场比赛后，以4-2或者4-3击败排名更高的篮网队。
As for the matchup between the Lakers and the Grizzlies, what makes the outside world feel suspenseful is:
In the second half of this season, the Lakers experienced problems such as lineup aging, and their state fluctuated greatly, including Kobe's unstable state, which gradually increased.
Although Kobe has always been eager to prove himself, his shooting percentage of 43% per game can't fool anyone...
This is Kobe's lowest field goal percentage per game since the 97-98 season.
And that season was the second season of Kobe's career.
The voice of "Kobe is old" is getting louder and louder, so that this Kobe's team has received a lot of doubts.
Together with the East and West rankings, the "Data King" of the major data lists is also released.
Li Wan once again counterattacked Kevin Durant and became the "scoring leader" this season with an average of 31.8 points per game. After Kobe, another player who won the "scoring champion" again and again.
It is worth mentioning that, excluding those "ancient gods" in the 70s, Li Wan is the player with the lowest draft pick among the players who won the "scoring champion" consecutively.
At the same time, Li Wan also won the "Assist King" this season with an average of 13.4 assists per game.
This also allowed him to unlock another long-lost NBA record.
He became another player since Nat Archibald to win the "scoring leader" and "assist leader" in the same season.
The "Rebound King" belongs to Dwight Howard. This season, he averaged 14.5 rebounds per game, and Love averaged 1.2 rebounds per game.
As far as this rebounding ability, you say...
How could Kobe not let him grab rebounds!
The "block king" belongs to the "extraordinarily talented" Ibaka, who averaged 3.8 blocks per game, which also refreshed the list of blocks in recent years; the "steal king" belongs to Chris Paul, who averaged 2.5 steals per game.
除了场均31.8分以及13.4助攻外，李万本赛季还有9.5个篮板，2.1次抢断以及1.6次盖帽。
The three shooting percentages are: 52.4% per game, 42.3% per game and 88.2% per game.
The free throw percentage is only 1.8%, otherwise Li Wan will enter the "180 club" again, but the shooting percentage of 88.2% is already very high. On the free throw percentage list this season, Li Wan ranks third. Second only to Crawford and Nowitzki.
……
In the afternoon, the league announced the "Rookie of the Season" for the 11-12 season.
Kyrie Irving won the award with a "vote rate" of 90%.
Compared with previous years, this year's rookies are particularly sluggish. Owen has already reached the limit of the rookies of the same year with a little shot. It is worth mentioning that when he won the award, Owen uploaded the "Best Rookie" trophy and sent One sentence: Thank you my Lord.
These words did not attract much attention.
The fact that Owen is a religious person has long been disclosed by the media.
In the land of "freedom" in the United States, religious belief is also popular. A plaque was dropped on the road and 10 people were hit. There were at least 9 "religionists" and one "leader"...
But in Li Wan's view, this is a sign of Owen's evolution towards "Ou Shenxian".
In the afternoon, the New York Knicks entered the preparation stage for the playoffs.
As a team with a championship background, the New York Knicks are not much different from usual at this stage. The only change may be a change in attitude.
The "nightclub cafes" headed by Artest and Odom handed in their VIP membership cards in many nightclubs in New York.Expressed his importance to the playoffs with practical actions.
Li Wan had a chat with D'Antoni and Mike Brown.
After the regular season, the current situation of the New York Knicks is that both offensive and defensive ends are at the top of the league, but the distance between the two sides is still a little short.
In fact, this difference is critical.
At the critical moment when the bayonet is popular, what is needed is the ultimate offensive or defensive end.
You can defend the opponent, or you can attack the opponent's basket!
Of course, Li Wan hopes that the ultimate goal of the team is the ultimate offensive end.
Compared with the offensive end, the defensive end is obviously more passive.
Li Wan is not a passive person, he likes to take the initiative.
But now, he has no choice...
Can only use the defensive end as a killing move...
When D'Antoni heard Li Wan's suggestion, his first reaction was:
Li Wan doesn't love me anymore!
Otherwise, why talk about the defensive end and not the offensive end?
Is it something I did not do well enough?
D'Antoni had no intention of discussing, and was only thinking about whether he usually did something well.
Li Wan didn't think too much about D'Antoni's silence.
In his perception...
D'Antoni is just a runner, he knows how to defend with a hammer.
On April 4, as in previous years, the NBA kicked off the playoffs on this day.
The four matchups on the first day are: Bulls VS Philadelphia 76ers, Nets VS Magic, Thunder VS Trail Blazers, Lakers VS Grizzlies.
final result.
The Bulls easily defeated the Philadelphia 99ers 88 to 76.
Originally this season, the game between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Bulls was actually the eighth in the Eastern Conference. The 76ers also completed the "Black Eight Miracle" in this round of the series.
But the gold content of the "Black Eight Miracle" this time should be the most watery in NBA history. After all, Derrick Rose and Hamilton were both injured.
However, that was the original.
Although the Bulls did not rank first in the Eastern Conference this time.
but……
Neither Derrick Rose nor Hamilton were injured...
Needless to say, it is the "butterfly effect" brought by Li Wan:
This season is different from the original, the league has not been suspended, the schedule has not shrunk, and there is no "back-to-back-to-back" monster schedule in the competition system...
This allowed Derrick Rose and Hamilton to have enough rest time.
In addition, Kevin Garnett's injury in the playoffs seems to have changed Thibodeau's coaching style, and it is no longer as extreme as he was originally.
For the use of Rose, he is no longer brainless "dead *", the game situation has entered "garbage time", when he should replace Rose, he will not hesitate.
In this way, the Philadelphia 76ers will have no chance of stealing chickens.
They are also quite miserable. They snatched Stoudemire the year before last, and they used it for a season last year, but it will not work this season...
Speaking of the players who have left the Suns in recent years, most of them are in this situation. Shaq O’Neal had a good career in the Suns, but he left the Suns and went to the Cavaliers. The same is true for Steve Nash, who was doing well in the Suns, went to the Lakers, and his back injury immediately worsened...
The "miracle doctor team" of the Suns is really...
When Li Wanhui recalled this matter, he always felt that he should join the Suns at the end of his career to prolong his career life.
The Thunder also easily defeated the Trail Blazers.
This game proved that in the current NBA, it really doesn't work without outside lines.
The combination of Aldridge and Oden suppressed Ibaka and Perkins on the opposite side, but they lost too much outside, losing nearly 25 points.
In the end, the Thunder also beat the Trail Blazers by 108 to 90 and 18 points.
One minute before the end of the game, the sideline cameras showed Roy several times.The expressions of Portland fans thus became complicated:
It would be great if Roy wasn't injured...
Compared with these two games, the Lakers' game against the Grizzlies is much more anxious.
First of all, the Lakers can't stop Zach Randolph's ups and downs in the paint.
Whether it's Paul Gasol or Bynum, there are only four words for him:
Tired of not loving it!
Not being able to defend is one problem, not being able to attack is another problem.
Pau Gasol struggled a lot when he met Marc Gasol, who was gradually coming to his peak, and Bynum in this time and space, because of the previous series of blows, has long been unaware of what it is to play with the ball behind the basket up.
On the whole, it can only rely on Pau Gasol's hooks, barely maintaining the threat of scoring at the basket...
And this is not all the problems the Lakers have encountered.
Kobe Bryant also seemed to be struggling when he met Tony Allen. In addition, he was not in good form this season, and there was an embarrassing situation where he only scored 2 points in a single quarter...
The only advantage the Lakers have is Deron Williams at No. [-].
Mike Conley is limited by his height, and he can't stop this guy from rushing with the ball.
Deron Williams has fun playing Paul...
But it's different. Mike Conley has learned the "Crotch Dribble Breakthrough" with "Bug" Tim Hardaway for two years, and he has finally honed this trick to a proficient level this season.
Facing Deron several times gave his own response.
The score of the game was fixed at 90 to 85.
The Grizzlies scored 90 points, and the Lakers scored 85 points...
Yes, the Grizzlies took the lead and won the first victory in this round of the series.
The outside experts showed expressions of "as expected" one by one.
When Popovich heard that the Grizzlies had won Game [-] of the series against the Lakers, his legs trembled.The "black shadow" of last season is still lingering in his mind.
When he saw the Grizzlies play the Lakers in the first round, he was still at ease...
Fuck!
These two teams, no matter who they met in the second round, he felt that it was very difficult to play!
Of course, if he had to choose a team, he would rather choose the Lakers than the Grizzlies now, so what the hell is the "black and white bears"!
Can the NBA issue a notice banning large bears from participating in the playoffs?
In the end, no matter what they were afraid of, the Grizzlies actually won the first game of the series...
This Nima!
To say that the Lakers lost to the Grizzlies is within the expectations of some experts...
Then the game between the Nets and the Magic was a bit beyond the expectations of the bricks...
The final winner, they are right, is indeed the Magic, which is more likely to advance.
But the problem is that the Magic won too easily.
上半场就拉开了15分，第三节分差眼瞅着就奔20分去了。最终魔术队以110比90，20分大胜篮网队。
20 points win...
This is like some brick houses clamoring "house prices are going to fall" every day. As a result, house prices did fall, but what they didn't expect was:
House prices have fallen, and no one is buying a house!
The unilateral massacre of the Magic team has raised the outside world's combat effectiveness against the Magic team again.
According to Paul Pierce...
The same is true of the Magic, mainly because there is a traitor in the Nets!
Why does this stupid Chris Paul always want to rely on him to lead the team and recover the point difference?
This damn ball, really don't pass it out!
Li Wan also watched the game, and was really not surprised by Chris Paul's handling of the critical moment.
Even when he saw Paul Pierce's flushed face, he wanted to pat him on the shoulder and say something to him:
Where is this going!
Later, in the Western Conference finals, in a certain game between the Warriors and the Rockets, Harden relied on singles to fight hard to gradually recover the point difference. Chris Paul saw the situation, no, James Harden alone How can someone show off?At that time, they pulled the team to play against the Warriors, but the point difference was completely sent back.
After transferring to the Suns and playing the only finals in his career, Booker's eyes were full of tears.
"Pao Luo"'s obsession with victory is unquestionable, but in his eyes, victory must be won when he takes the lead to solve the problem...
Isn't this a kind of PUA for teammates?
So, some players can't win the championship, it's really not a matter of strength...
Howard, who won the game happily, was very happy after the game, but when the reporter mentioned Li Wan, his expression unconsciously became serious: "We are still on the way!"
Before defeating Li Wan, any victory is not considered a victory...
On April 4, another four groups of duels started.
The league announced the "Best Sixth Man Award" for this season.
Jamal Crawford won the award again.
That night, he also proved his "No.1 bench in the league" in the "garbage time" between the New York Knicks and the Eagles.
Ok……
"Garbage time"!
Facing the Eagles who had lost the "Eagle King", the Knicks hadn't exerted their strength, and the Eagle was "boiled" to death.
120 to 90, the Knicks finally beat the Hawks by 30 points.
It's not even a game...
In the next three games of the series, the New York Knicks easily defeated the Hawks by 25 to 30 points in each game.The loss was so bad that even the media in Atlanta couldn't help posting a question:
"What did we do wrong?"
Speaking of which, this is also the pot of the east...
After Joe Johnson was traded, the Eagles lost again and again in the latter part of the All-Star Weekend, undefeated.
There are only 30 final wins.
If this is put aside in previous years, it will definitely not make it to the playoffs.
But the "Era of Giants", coupled with the general environment in the Eastern Conference, led to this team, which was not at the playoff level at all, and finally ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference.
Suffered a brutal massacre!
But in Barkley's view, the Hawks really have to thank Li Wan for showing mercy to the Knicks: "If the Knicks intend to embarrass Atlanta, they won't only win 30 points per game..."
It really is……
What a special angle!
The "New York Times" immediately reported Barkley's remarks, yes, yes, you can talk, you can talk more, they have never thought that Barkley spoke so well!
4 month 24 day.
Atlanta.
Home of the Eagles.
When the harsh beep sounded.
The score was fixed at 132 to 98, and the Knicks won again by 34 points.
But the Eagles players on the field and the Atlanta fans in the audience showed no frustration on their faces, but relief...
4-0!
After losing this game, they finally don't have to continue to play the playoffs with the New York Knicks!
Being abused like this shows how manic the New York Knicks are in this round of the series.
In 4 games, Li Wan averaged 35.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 14.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.4 blocks, shooting 55.5% from the field, 45% from three-pointers, and 88.9% from free throws!
A simple sentence:
Kill crazy!
And he wasn't the only one who killed the entire Knicks crazy.
Ray Allen averaged 4 three-pointers per game in this round of the series and scored 16.5 points per game. It feels like he has returned to 11; In 17, he averaged 50 points per game, and his three-point shooting percentage reached [-]% in two games!
When he shot outside the three-point line in this round of the series, he gave the fans the biggest feeling in two words:
Got it!
It's such a cowhide!
Even Artest can hit 1.5 three-pointers per game. From this, we can see how fierce the firepower of the New York Knicks in the first round of the playoffs is...
ESPN bluntly said: "After a season of running-in, the Knicks have officially begun to show their offensive firepower!"
"Bleacher Report": "The playoffs are the beginning, and the offensive end of the defending champion makes the league terrified!"
The New York Times even more:
"Defending champion, New York is ready!"
The New York Knicks aren't the first team to emerge from the playoffs this year, though.
The Thunder, which started the series one day earlier, are the first team to enter the second round of the series this season. They eliminated the Trail Blazers with Aldridge and Oden 4-0.
凯文-杜兰特在这轮系列赛，场均33.5分7篮板，威斯布鲁克场均24.5分7助攻，詹姆斯-哈登场均18.5分3篮板3助攻，伊巴卡12分8篮板4盖帽……
The third year that the "Thunder Four Young Masters" have been working together is like a ripe peach, making people salivate and greedy.
The management of the Thunder team was also pulled out at this time and blew a lot.
This draft ability, as well as the ability to cultivate rookies, is really amazing...
Some people may want to say that I believe in the draft ability, but the ability to cultivate rookies...
Didn't they just give up their records and accompany them for three years? This is also called the ability to cultivate rookies?
Who can't do this!
but……
Just look at Minnesota, there are differences between running with you and running with you!
除了雷霆队以4-0的大比分晋级季后赛第二轮外，提前一天打响的其他三组现在的比分分别为：魔术队3比1领先篮网队；湖人队2比2打平灰熊队；公牛队3-1领先费城76人；
而跟纽约尼克斯同天进行的其他4组对决，目前的大比分分别是：热火队2比2平印第安纳步行者；马刺队3-1领先爵士队；快船队3-1领先小牛队；
During this period, the league announced the "Most Improved Player Award", "Best Head Coach Award" and "Best General Manager":
The "Most Improved Player Award" belongs to Ryan Anderson of the Magic. Anderson, who averaged 10.6 points per game last season, has soared to 16.6 points per game this season. .
The "Best Head Coach Award" belongs to Gregg Popovich…
After the first month of the season, similar public opinions circulated in the media. As the Spurs have been sitting firmly on the throne of the regular season, and finally ended the season with a record of 65 wins and 17 losses, Popovich Veitch's momentum for this award is also growing, and he finally got his wish, becoming the "best coach" of the season.
This is the second time he has won the award in his entire coaching career.
On the afternoon after winning the award, he continued to emphasize the "team" and the "team culture" of "abandoning personal limelight" to the Spurs players. Leonard looked at the "Best Head Coach" trophy in his hand, thinking He laughed.
Now his heart is the same as that pig demon in Langlang Mountain:
I want to leave San Antonio.
"Best General Manager" belongs to "Lord Baylor".
Elgin Baylor held a press conference as soon as he won the award.
Huh~
I want to see it now, who dares to say that I don't understand football!
4 month 25 day.
The Nets and the Magic ushered in the fifth game of the series.
With their lives hanging by a thread, the Nets, standing on the edge of a cliff, returned to their home court.
From the expressions of the "Five King Kong" who started the game before the game, it can be seen that they are very nervous.
Fortunately, none of these people are just debutants. Even Da Luo is now a third-year rookie, and he played in the Eastern Conference semifinals last year, experienced defeat, and gained experience.
It's a pity that after 4 games, the Magic became more familiar with their defense and penetrated very quickly on the offensive end. After the first quarter, the lead was almost 10 points away.
At this time, Chris Paul started his "self-salvation journey", you can also understand it as:
I control my own life.
And as he goes further and further on the road of "self-salvation", the Nets are getting farther and farther away from victory.
Paul Pierce put his hips on his hips again and watched the point difference get bigger and bigger. Finally, he couldn't help it and threw a white towel.Chris Paul saw that his teammates were emotional, so he hurried up to comfort him:
"Don't give up, buddy, we still have a chance to play our stuff, believe me, we will definitely win..."
As he spoke, he stretched out his fist, wanting to punch Paul Pierce.
Pierce looked at his determined eyes, and heard him continue to say: "I have already thought about our tactics later, follow what I said...we will definitely win!"
Win you MGB!
"Snapped!"
When Pierce heard this, he finally couldn't bear it, and slapped Paul's fist away.
This scene frightened the reporters on the sidelines, and they immediately pointed the camera at the two people one by one, but if they looked at Kevin Garnett next to him at this time, they would find that the face of the "Wolf King" was full of is calm.
Not only was he not surprised, but he also showed an expression of "Sure enough, I knew it". Obviously, he knew it a long time ago, and this day would come.
Chris Paul looked on in shock. He didn't seem to expect that his "cannon slave", no, his brother, would dare to slap his hand off.
Huh~
Another one who doesn't want to win!
The dialogue between the two Pauls ended here.
Everyone on the Magic team who noticed this scene became more and more motivated. In the next wave of 10-2 scoring, the Magic team successfully flattened the Nets' base.
With a big score of 4-1, the Magic completed the "down to the top".
The upcoming semi-finals...
The opponent they will meet is none other than the New York Knicks who advanced a day earlier than them!
Howard meets Li Wan again!
After the game, the reporters surrounded Howard and asked him if he had the confidence to beat Li Wan this time.
"Warcraft" gave an affirmative answer, and of course he explained why he was so confident: "I don't have confidence in myself, I have confidence in my teammates. I have a group of very good teammates. I believe that this time the result will be different!"
It is worth mentioning that Orlando Multimedia is also very confident this time.
The Knicks averaged 27.5 points per game in the first round, which is fierce, but the Magic also averaged around 5 points per game in the 15.4 games against the Nets. Considering that their opponent is the fourth basketball team in the East The Nets, and the Knicks' opponent is the eighth in the Eastern Conference, the Eagles with only 30 wins...
Others don't know, anyway, from the perspective of Orlando Multimedia, the average of 15.4 points in this game is about equal to the average of 27.5 points per game of the New York Knicks!
Moreover, Howard's average data in this round of the series is a terrifying 25.4 points and 14.4 rebounds, and he also has 2.8 blocks. Such a performance...
Let Orlando Multimedia believe that Howard has ushered in his true peak.
The evening breeze of the "traditional era" has not completely dried up, and there is still a saying in the current alliance that "the insider wins the world", so...
The Magic may really beat the New York Knicks this time!
Li Wan replied with a smile: "Let's see how much progress they have made this time..."
Such a high-profile "superior" answer gave Howard a stronger belief in winning this round of the series.
Who do you look down on?
On April 4, after the league officially announced the winner of the "Best Defensive Player Award" this season, the smell of gunpowder between the two teams reached another level...
Tyson Chandler became the last "Best Defensive Player Award" winner this season with 35% of the votes.
It was none other than Howard who got the second most votes, his vote rate was as high as 25%!
10% off...
Howard is very upset, because he is the "rebound king" this season, and he also averaged 2.1 blocks per game, ranking third in the regular season average block list!
What does this Tyson Chandler have?
Nothing, he actually won the "Best Defensive Player Award" this season!
"I think someone stole my trophy!"
On April 4, the first game of the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs between the Magic and the New York Knicks started, and Howard yelled into the microphone unwillingly.
Tyson Chandler responded not to be outdone: "Yes, I also think there are thieves in this league, otherwise this is my second 'Best Defensive Player Award'! But this thief is not satisfied, actually And trying to steal my second trophy!"
