Chapter 376 Wade is very strong, but being strong is useless (please subscribe, please support)

The number of wins is tied with the Atlanta Hawks, and the third ranking is just around the corner. However, the Knicks selectively slowed down the pace at the end of the season. Ke Yan returned to his old ways and rested the young players in the team on a large scale. At the end of the season, he achieved

A record of 3 wins and 3 losses, a painful 50 wins, and "giving up" third place in the Eastern Conference.

This behavior has also been questioned by some people, who feel that Ke Yan's behavior at the end of the season was somewhat disrespectful to the fans.

He took rotations with the Eagles, and he was "famous" after all. After all, the Eagles reached at least the second round of the playoffs every year, and even reached the finals in two seasons. Objectively, the physical exertion was greater than that of many who went home early to fish.

opponent.

And a large number of players in the Knicks who are still on rookie contracts are young people in their prime. This kind of rotation is really unnecessary!

In the eyes of extreme fans, Keyan's 50-win performance has become a "black spot". Some people are taking the lead online, saying that he only values ​​his own record and ignores the interests of the fans.

In the end, it was Huo Qingshu who led a group of Kermits to fight back:

"Say it like it's easy for the Knicks to achieve a 50% winning rate!"

"Make it like 50 wins is not an honor for the Knicks!"

"It's really a case of 'promoting the enemy, fighting against the enemy'. It's not good to prepare for the playoffs in advance. No one really thinks that the Knicks' hard power is strong enough to overcome various objective disadvantages and remain stable in the playoffs."

Did it make a difference in the playoffs?"

"Before the season, if you told me that the Knicks could be in the top four in the Eastern Conference, I would have laughed to death."

As for Ke Yan himself, he chose to fall back to the fourth position in the Eastern Conference. In addition to the habitual "rotation", part of the reason is because the Cavaliers have basically locked in the first place in the Eastern Conference. Compared with some Magic teams like the Knicks

, the Cavaliers are slightly easier to deal with.

The Heat, led by Wade, are ranked fifth. The "Magic Calculator" has made up his mind to rebuild in the summer. His goal is to bring at least an All-Star partner to Wade, but now James is "undecided" and Bosh

"My heart belongs to New York", Stoudemire has injury risks, Boozer is more or less a system player, and perhaps the easiest one is Joe Johnson, who is "all about money"?

The Celtics in Celtics sold Pierce in the offseason in exchange for Captain Brand of the Clippers, who suffered a knee injury, as well as two first-round picks and two first-round swap rights. From now on, the profit

A lot of money. Brand, who has recovered from injuries, averaged 16+11 per game this season. Although his singles ability has declined significantly, he is still an above-average insider on the whole, and his performance on the defensive end is also very solid.

; Since the Clippers did not qualify for the playoffs this season, the first first-round pick was converted into a lottery pick, which also gave the team greater operating space.

Joe's Bobcats trusted their veterans this season, and under the leadership of a group of "old boys" they made it to the playoffs for the first time in team history. However, facing the powerful Magic team, if the Bobcats want to move forward, they may not be able to move forward.

Not very easy.

The Bobcats are "old and mature", and the Bulls are "newborn calves not afraid of tigers". Rose, Crawford, Luol Deng, Terrence Thomas, and Noah's lineup mainly attack from the outside and collect from the inside, which is very suitable for playing.

In a tough battle, they may have a chance to cause some trouble for the Cavaliers. At the same time, because Chicago itself is a relatively large market and the history of the Bulls, they are quite likely to become a big buyer in the summer of 2010!

In the West, the defending champion Lakers continue to top the list, and they will face the Young Guards Trail Blazers in the first round. This is not good news for the Lakers. For the Lakers, a more embarrassing record is,

In the past three seasons, they have only won one game as a guest at the Rose Garden Arena. Every time the Yellow Mamba faced off against the Black Mamba, he never fell behind.

The Mavericks are ranked second in the Western Conference, and they will continue to compete with the Spurs in the first round.

The Thunder, which is most promising to cause trouble for the Lakers, is ranked third. Their opponent is the Denver Nuggets. Durant will have to withstand Anthony's sharpness.

The last set of matchups is the Suns VS Jazz. In terms of star quality, the Suns are obviously more dazzling than the Jazz, but it is normal for the Jazz to complete counterattacks as a underdog. This team can easily be underestimated.

Judging from the distribution of playoff matchups, we can also see that the Western Conference is much stronger than the Eastern Conference. Of the four Western Conference matchups, no one can determine the outcome in advance; while in the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers, Magic, Hawks, and Knicks

There is a high probability that Si is the winner.

According to the regular season statistics kings, Durant won the scoring title for the first time with 30.1 points. In the next ten years, the only players who will win the scoring title in the next ten years, except for Anthony, are the Thunder's three young men and Curry;

James ranked second with 29.7 points, and Anthony ranked third with 28.2 points.

Not surprisingly, Howard won the rebounding and block titles with 13.2 rebounds and 2.8 blocks. At the same time, he was also the top candidate for DPOY. Warcraft won these three awards to save the gold content of these three awards. If he is defeated again

If Camby gets it, DPOY will be a "shame" after that. Love ranks tenth with 10.7 rebounds per game, which is not bad.

Nash once again led the league in assists, averaging 11 per game, followed by Deron and Paul in second and third place. Paul also led the league in steals with 2.9 steals per game.

Curry averaged 26.1 points, 6.6 assists and 1.9 steals per game this season, ranking sixth in the scoring list, eighth in the assists list, and third in the steals list. His overall performance is absolutely "outstanding."

At the same time, Curry hit 264 3-pointers in "only" 73 games during the regular season this season, ranking second in history, second only to Ray Allen's 269. Even if he plays two more games, it will be enough.

Break Junzi Lei's record.

Now that fans use "Messi" to describe him, it is not a sarcasm, but a sincere compliment.

On April 22, the Knicks announced their 13-man roster for the playoffs:

PG: Curry, Holiday, Sun Yue

SG: Matthews, Hyde, Tracy McGrady

SF: Gallinari, Alexander

PF: Love, Jeffries

C: O'Neal, DeAndre Jordan, Dorsey

The Knicks have more "all-rounders" in the lineup, which also allows Ke Yan to make more changes on the court. Sun Yue is basically a "brick of the revolution" and can be moved wherever needed; Tracy McGrady is similar, mainly serving as a small forward.

He is a substitute, but sometimes he swings to the fourth position; Alexander averages 2.7 minutes per game in the regular season, which is negligible, but in training, he usually plays a guest role at the fourth position.

The shortcoming is that the age structure of the lineup is unreasonable. The age groups of the Knicks players are "divided". Players who have rookie contracts or have been in the league for less than three years account for two-thirds: Curry, Holiday, Matthews, LeBron James.

Fu, DeAndre Jordan, Sun Yue, Gallinari, Alexander, and Dorsey; those who have entered retirement include O'Neal and Tracy McGrady; only Hyde and Jeffries are two marginal players who can be considered in their prime.

This is also a key focus of Heat coach Spoelstra.

.......

On April 24, the playoffs began. On the first day of the game, the defending champion Lakers were the first to appear and beat the Trail Blazers 109:87, giving the team a good start in their journey to defend the title!

The problem of the Trail Blazers is still that they are too young. As a coach who came out at the same time as Ke Yan, McMillan is not as changeable in style as Ke Yan. He taught the young people of the Trail Blazers to play in the correct way, but he also suppressed their

Nature. The biggest shortcoming of this Lakers team is that it is "slow"! But the Trail Blazers, as a young guard, did not increase their speed and forced themselves to fight with the Lakers. They are really asking for trouble!

In another game, the Hawks narrowly defeated the Celtics at home 111:107. Joe Johnson scored 27 points efficiently and continued to work hard to get a huge fat contract in the summer; Paul scored 23 points and 10 assists, also

After proving that he can still lead the Eagles forward without Key Yan.

The Knicks and Heat's G1 was scheduled for the day after the playoffs started. The pre-game warm-up was thorough and reporters interviewed both sides.

"I envy the Heat for having Wade, a super scorer. His breakthrough ability is the best among active players. He has extremely strong destructive power and will cause considerable trouble for our defensive system." Ke Yan expressed

My own appreciation for Wade: "In my eyes, he is the top three player in the league."

The team with the top three players in the league can only be ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference. The subtext is that the other Heat players are not strong enough.

The fact is that the situation is quite different. The three starters, Gibson, Haslem, and James Jones, can be considered qualified starters, but they are not up to the average level of starters at various positions in the league; Eddy Curry has obvious shortcomings and is fully supported.

They can't afford the team's insiders. The Heat's starting lineup is average, and the bench lineup is even worse. Riley's devil training did not squeeze out any usable talents during this period, and the one who can be named may be...

...Joel Anthony?

Their only chance of winning may be that Wade plays "Wushuang".

.......

At 7:30 in the evening, there is still half an hour before the game starts, but Madison Square Garden is already packed. New York fans have not had the opportunity to watch a playoff game in five years, and they have extremely high expectations for this game.

Enthusiasm. Even though the ticket prices are sky-high, they are still sold out. This also makes Ke Yan feel a little emotional. The Knicks are simply a chicken that lays golden eggs!

After completing the warm-up, the players returned to the locker room to make final adjustments. Highlights of the team this season were played on the big screen. Curry and DeAndre Jordan had a strong presence, which constantly aroused cheers from the fans.

In the locker room, Ke Yan was regulating the enthusiasm of the players.

"To use the World Cup as an analogy, the regular season games are just the qualifying rounds and group matches. When we reach the playoffs stage, we have truly entered the knockout rounds. From now on, the term fault tolerance will no longer exist.

We all have to strive for victory in every game, this is not a drill."

"In the regular season, everyone helped me maintain my 50-win record; I have a hunch that I can continue to lead everyone to the second round of the playoffs. After all, in my entire coaching career, I have never been in the first round.

It has failed! Besides, our regular season ranking is higher than that of the Heat, and we still have home court advantage!"

"The Heat are very strong, they have Wade; but the Heat are not very strong, because they only have one Wade. My basketball philosophy has always said, 'The game is for five people.' I believe you can win.

!”

“here we go!”
