Over in the West, if Li Ang remembers correctly, the top three in original history should be the Lakers, Trail Blazers and Jazz.
Originally, the defending champion Spurs were quite strong, but unexpectedly, Deng Shu tore his meniscus at the end of the season, causing the Spurs' record to decline, and they were surpassed by the Jazz.
Because of this, Deng Shu missed the playoffs, and the Lakers automatically lost a strong opponent.
The Jazz's style of play was restrained by the Trail Blazers, so they were eliminated 4-1 early in the Western Conference semifinals.
It was such a coincidence that the Lakers avoided the opponents that knocked them out of the competition in the previous three years, and went all the way to the tiebreaker with the Trail Blazers to enter the Finals.
OK has since embarked on the road of getting more and more rings, but getting farther and farther away from marriage.
So people often say that OK's three consecutive championships were actually very dangerous, and they almost overturned on at least two occasions.
The first time was in 2000, when he was lucky enough to avoid the Spurs and Jazz, and narrowly defeated the Trail Blazers in the seventh game.
Just imagine, if the Lakers met the Spurs or Jazz midway, could they still fight the Trail Blazers to the tiebreaker?
You know, the Trail Blazers' salary this season is as high as 7,353 US dollars, and this season's salary cap is only 34 million!
It's obvious how luxurious the Trail Blazers' lineup is.
O'Neal has been swept five times in a row five times before, and his reputation is far from as good as it will be in the future.
According to public opinion at the time, most people believed that the Trail Blazers would reach the top of the Western Conference.
Although everyone knows the final result, if the Lakers are really consumed early, the Trail Blazers will not have no chance of winning.
The second time they almost overturned was the famous tiebreaker between the Lakers and Kings in 2002.
What made OK truly invincible was that in 2001, they lost just one game in the entire series, which was simply abnormal. This is why AI felt proud even though it lost.
But there is one thing to say. In the other two years, the Lakers' dominance was not impeccable.
Now, the matchup in the Western Conference has changed.
Because Karl Malone missed several games due to Leon's elbow injury, the Jazz's regular season record was not the 55 wins in the original history, but only 51 wins!
Although it was only 4 games away, it was enough to drop the Jazz from third to fifth.
In other words, if the Jazz successfully pass the first round, they will meet the Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals!
A big hypothesis in basketball forums has now become a reality!
Regardless of the fact that the Jazz were eliminated by the Trail Blazers 4-1 in the original history, they seemed very good.
But in fact, the Jazz were restrained by the Blazers' luxurious lineup, and Malone was very uncomfortable being defended.
But against the Lakers, the Jazz may not be that good.
You know, two years ago in 1998, the Jazz swept the Lakers!
Although the Jazz are old, they still have a lot of experience playing against the Lakers.
They don't say they can win, but they will never make it easy for the Lakers.
The simplest point is, how do the Lakers deal with Malone? Let O'Neal pull him out?
On the Trail Blazers' side, the luxurious forward group is enough to soften Malone. At this point, Malone still scored 23.8 points in that series.
But on the Lakers' side, the forwards are Horry and Glenn Rice.
Horry would be fine if he bumped into Nash, but if he bumped into Malone, he would probably hit himself to death.
Yunlong's elbow turned the entire northwestern Shanxi into chaos.
Li Ang looked at the Western Conference matchup table and couldn't help but smile.
What's interesting is that the playoff matchups are basically completely different from history. Now even Li Ang can't predict the trend of the playoffs.
Things full of suspense are always the most attractive.
Li Ang put down the newspaper and prepared to go on the field for training.
Chaos, the more chaotic the better!
Jazz robbed the Lakers at night.
Captain Li bombards Xia Cun!
The day before the playoffs started, Uncle Butch made a lot of tactical arrangements for the Hornets.
But Li Ang found out in despair
Most of the scoring tactics are arranged for Carter and McGrady!
Uncle Butch just looked at Li Ang with a smile: "Great Sage, I have to trouble you to show your magic in this matter of rebounding!"
Fortunately, Uncle Butch didn't directly ask Li Ang to play center, otherwise Li Ang would have stopped working in a matter of minutes.
But yes, during the regular season, Leon played Coleman offensively, although he was beaten to the point of losing his temper. But in terms of scoring, Li Ang has indeed always been at a disadvantage.
Well, for a player like Li Ang, we have to discuss scoring and offense separately, they are not the same thing.
To put it bluntly, at the basketball level, Li Ang has not completely defeated Coleman.
On the other side, Coleman is also gearing up.
No matter how bad he is, he is still the one who led the Nets to the playoffs.
Although it has been a trip for three consecutive years, it is already very good.
When you think about your sister-in-law leading the Grizzlies to 12 losses and 0 wins in the playoffs, you will find that Coleman really doesn't seem that bad.
Coleman is very confident in the series and defeating Leon in the playoffs, which is what Coleman has always wanted.
The last Magic VS Menglong game may have been the most competitive time in Coleman's life.
Because only if the Cute Dragons win, the Hornets will have a chance to meet the Cute Dragons in the playoffs.
This is not the first time that Coleman has had conflicts with others over the years, and it is not the first time that he has made enemies.
But what the hell
Where can I find someone like you who can directly deform people’s skulls!
unacceptable!
Coleman then only thought about how to fuck Leon.
His confidence is not groundless, although the Raptors are ranked third in the Eastern Conference this season and the Hornets are only sixth.
But the Hornets only won two games less than the Raptors in the regular season!
This year's Eastern Conference is like this, from third to sixth, with only a two-game gap in between.
It is normal for whoever wins.
The last time Li Ang gave him an elbow trick from the sky, this time, he was going to give Li Ang a killer move from the bottom up!
The gap between the NBA regular season and the playoffs is very short. In just two days, a new battle is about to begin.
Before the start of today's game, the most popular news in the media was who among Lyon, Francis and Brand could become the best rookie.
After all, Rookie of the Year is the first regular season award to be announced, so it is currently the most popular.
Francis' performance this season is similar to his original performance, averaging 18 points, 5.5 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 1.5 steals per game, worthy of his second place status.
Compared with the original history, because there are more teammates than Artest, the number of assists is slightly higher.
Compared with the original history, Brand's data has declined slightly.
He averaged only 17.1 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game.
In the original history of the Bulls, the team even traded away Kukoc in order to cultivate Brand, freeing up the entire inside line for him to work hard.
But in the Grizzlies, Brand doesn't get such treatment. Bibby and Rahim, two young men, also want the ball.
Moreover, Rahim is also an insider.
It was inevitable that Brand's numbers would decline.
Looking at it this way, Li Ang's 13.6 points, 14.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.8 blocks are not completely without a chance to compete for the best rookie!
Although our Lao Li scored less points, he had more rebounds.
The two titles of modern basketball's first rookie rebounding champion and the youngest rebounding champion in history will also give Li Ang a lot of points.
Moreover, Li Ang is the only one among the three who has reached the playoffs with the team!
At the beginning, Li Ang actually just wanted to complete the dungeon mission and make the best rookie team.
Unexpectedly, I can still compete for the best rookie.
Just so arrogant
Of course, there are also some media who do not believe that Li Ang can win the best rookie, and ridicule that Li Ang has no offensive ability and is not considered a new generation star.
Although these media reports will not make Li Ang fall out of the top three rankings of the best rookies, they can disgust you.
Li Ang felt disgusted when he saw these reports that kept saying that he couldn't score well.
Be sure to sharpen your scoring in the playoffs!
Carter and Maizi are both in great spirits. One is leading the team in the playoffs as a core player for the first time, and the other hopes to make a difference in the playoffs.
Li Ang is also very excited. Today, I will let you see my scoring ability!
In the evening, the first game of the three-headed dragon series officially began.
The Hornets' starting lineup is the same as in the regular season, still Wesley + Jones + Anthony Mason Jr. + Coleman + Campbell.
When Coleman came out, he hooked his finger at Li Ang. Coleman knew the standards of the playoffs.
Today he wants Li Ang to experience the pleasure of rising to the sky with one elbow!
The Raptors won the ball first and attacked first. Carter, who averaged fourth in the league in points per game this season, was very confident.
As soon as he came up, he wanted to make a difference for the team.
Carter made several changes outside the three-point line, then broke through Eddie Jones and went straight to the penalty area.
Although Jones is a member of the second defense this season in the original history, it is also difficult to defend an opponent who ranks fourth in the scoring list.
Carter succeeded in breaking through, and he was even thinking about what posture to use to complete the dunk.
He decided to make a fake pass first, deceive the defense and then dunk directly!
As a result, as soon as Carter lifted the ball, a big foot suddenly appeared in front of him.
That's right, not big hands, big feet!
"boom!"
Carter covered his nose and fell to the ground. Little Anthony Mason stood there, stunned.
His kick was not like Bowen's flying kick, it was aimed at people.
Mason's kick was mainly to intercept Carter's pass.
Why use your feet? Because it was too late to use my hands, I could only use my feet in desperation.
It is better to have a kicking violation than to be directly penetrated by the opponent's pass.
But unexpectedly, it wasn't the ball that hit him, but Carter's head.
Mason is quite innocent, isn't he? Isn't there any trust between people now?
The passes are all cheating!
Li Ang's eyes shone, this horse riding was just for work.
But Anthony Mason Jr. only wanted to stop Carter and didn't want to cause trouble.
So when he saw Li Ang approaching, he silently retreated behind Coleman.
Li Ang was even more happy when he saw it. This horse riding was a double happiness!
But Oakley stepped forward and stopped Li Ang at this time: "This is the playoffs, kid. This is only the first game, now is not the time to take action."
Oakley warned that he didn't want Leon to be suspended after just one round in the playoffs.
It's legendary enough to be suspended in his first start, but there's no need to do it twice.
And, in Oakley's view, this is the norm for the playoffs.
Even if you don't see it, the referee only gave Mason a common foul.
Ten years from now, this action would be enough to be banned.
It can only be said that the playoffs in this era are quite hardcore.
Yes, after all, in a few years, a defensive battle like the Pistons and Spurs will appear. It was after the ratings failure of the Finals that the league began to completely lean toward offense.
In the current playoffs, the scene is really not that smooth. If you look at the data carefully, you will find that the characteristics of the playoffs at this time are low shooting percentage and many free throws.
Carter was lying on the ground, everyone was stunned.
no
Is this playing basketball or killing people?
Carter, who was playing in the playoffs for the first time, was a little unresponsive.
Coleman looked at Li Ang with a smile, boy, now you know that the playoffs are no joke, right?
Are you nervous?
This wave, this wave is called Sha Ka Jing Li.
Coleman won't be as gentle as Mason if I want to take action!
Li Ang swallowed, but he was not nervous, he was excited.
If we play like this in the playoffs, we won’t be sleepy!
Flying kicks and headshots are just ordinary fouls. I, I want to challenge the referee's bottom line!
In the next possession, the Hornets attacked.
Eddie Jones broke through McGrady and then made a pull-up jump shot, but failed to hit the basketball.
Li Ang just saw with his own eyes that McGrady's hand touched Jones' forearm.
But the referee remained indifferent.
In just two rounds, Li Ang felt the scale of the wild playoffs in this period.
Li Ang grabbed the rebound and gave it to Tracy McGrady. The on-site commentators also praised him: "He is indeed the youngest rebounding champion in NBA history. Compared to scoring, Li Ang is more infatuated with rebounds!"
It's so funny, no one really thinks that Li Ang is not interested in scoring, right?
McGrady was very excited after holding the ball and rushed directly to the basket for a layup.
However, Eddie Jones, who was chasing after him, directly grabbed McGrady's jersey in the air, causing McGrady to miss the layup!
The referee still didn't call it, and no one was knocked down. How could it be called a foul?
Fortunately, Li Ang rushed up and grabbed another rebound.
As soon as the game started, Li Ang got 2 rebounds.
Li Ang was speechless. I came to the playoffs to score points.
But why do you feel like you continue to fight like this?
He may have more rebounds than in the regular season! ?
Can Maizi be more reliable?
The moment Li Ang grabbed the rebound, Coleman ran directly into him.
Li Ang was knocked out of focus and fell out of bounds, but Li Ang passed the ball to Carter before falling out of bounds.
Carter originally wanted to continue thrusting, but his nose still hurt.
So, the ball was handed to Li Ang, who was running back in the mid-range position.
Coleman saw Li Ang holding the ball on the left side of the free throw line, smiled disdainfully, and pointed arrogantly at the basket two steps away.
"Go ahead and vote, I'm asking you to vote. If you can make it, I'll call you Grandpa Li!"
"brush!"
Coleman:? ? ?
What happened?
Li Ang, he really dares to vote!
If you really dare to vote, you really dare to score!
During the regular season, Coleman's favorite trick was to humiliate Li Ang by shooting, and Li Ang really couldn't make the shot.
But it’s different now. 75% near-range shot + 75% mid-range shot. Without interference, the hit rate is still very high!
Coleman was so arrogant just now, now he is so embarrassed.
Li Ang's mood at this time was as smooth and comfortable as the goal he just scored.
I, Li Ang, am also a person with a shooting range, hahahaha!
He maintained his shooting posture, shrugged at Coleman, and then looked at Hornets coach Paul Silas on the sidelines.
"Please, I don't want to bully a fool. Although I score more boards, you can't let a person with a flawed IQ guard me, right?"
Today, Coleman's body has not been harmed, but his heart has been stabbed hard.
Two updates today are available at 8K, and tomorrow may only be around 7K-8K. The 10,000-digit update should be resumed the day after tomorrow. By the way, it seems that the reward and update provided by Big Boss Bi will be accumulated to next month. Originally, it was agreed that the dues would be repaid in the same month, but in this special situation, we must first treat it specially.
