Chapter 172 The start of the playoffs

It doesn't matter if the Bucks have entered the playoffs. After all, Gary Payton's current strength is still 20 plus 8. He plus Michael Reid, who has already played some famous games for the Bucks, theoretically.

We can definitely make the playoffs.

But the problem is that the Bucks scored, but the Seattle SuperSonics did not...

Of course, there are actually objective factors to this.

Not to mention anything else...

Let’s just say that it is much more difficult for the Western Conference to enter the playoffs than it is for the Eastern Conference.

Moreover, without Gary Payton, Seattle can be said to be a piece of cake. It would be normal if they could not make the playoffs.

However, public opinion still believes that Ray Allen does not have the ability to become the boss of a team.

From the perspective of Jiang Dalin, a latecomer, this is not wrong, but more or less part of the reason has a lot to do with Ray Allen's own pitching attributes.

In this era, it is true that stable shooting alone cannot lead a team to win the championship. Reggie Miller is the ultimate level that a pitcher can achieve in this era.

And more of them are regular season stars like Houston.

Needless to say, the team that truly makes shooting the magic weapon to win is the Warriors. Stephen Curry has the ability to hold the ball and shoot three-pointers, which has completely changed the league's structure.

Although the league did not have any rule changes related to him as a result, no one can help but admit that Stephen Curry changed the way the league played later.

But even ten years later, a single projection cannot win the championship.

Moreover, a player as powerful as Stephen Curry has been invisible many times in the playoffs. In the more intense playoffs, the instability of shooting will be more obvious.

The third place in the Eastern Conference is the Nets.

Sending "Fan Bingbing" away will not have a big impact on them. The reason why they are ranked third is not that they are not strong, but that the first two teams are too strong.

The Pacers' offensive and defensive levels are not at the same level as last season. They are the only team in the Eastern Conference that may defeat the Wizards in the playoffs, although this possibility is not very high.

But other teams are much less likely.

For teams like the Magic, infinity equals zero.

Their opponent is the Celtics.

The "Boston Twins" stunned the Wizards in the playoffs last year, and it seems they have not recovered yet. This season, the Boston Celtics have been barely able to maintain a playoff spot.

The fourth one belongs to the Philadelphia 76ers. Allen Iverson and Larry Brown were on and off and had several "soap operas". Now, they have reconciled again, although everyone knows that the gap is so big that it is impossible for them to

It's still the same as before, but...what the heck, now the team atmosphere has changed.

The Philadelphia 76ers, who have regained their sense of belonging, have also returned to the top four this year.

Fifth is the Pistons.

Seeing them ranked fifth, Jiang Dalin felt guilty for no reason.

Because of his appearance, the Pistons now have a big problem. Rick Carlisle discovered that Ben's defensive ability is enough to carry a team, but the problem is...

On the offensive end, they haven't had any chemical reaction yet, and they still play their own games.

They allow their opponents to score only 80 points per game, but at the same time they can only score 75 points, or even lower.

In the West, the opponent of the Lakers, who are ranked first, coincidentally is the Houston Rockets with Yao Ming. They are ranked eighth, squeezing out the Suns.

I don’t know if Jiang Dalin’s performance has been motivating him. Yao Ming’s statistics after the entire season this time were not the 13 plus 8 that Jiang Dalin had in mind, but averaged 15.4 points and 9.2 rebounds per game.

Both scoring and rebounding are slightly higher than Stoudemire. In addition, their record is better than that of the Lakers. Yao Ming is very hopeful to win this year's Rookie of the Year.

For Jiang Dalin, this is what he looks forward to seeing.

Originally, Yao Ming lost the "Rookie of the Year" award not so much because the team's record was inferior to others, but because, given the same data, local players were given priority.

The original Stoudemire data was only about 13 plus 8...

Second in the Western Conference is the Spurs.

Tim Duncan is really a bit unreasonable this season, averaging 23.5 points, 13.5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks per game. In terms of all-around attributes, Kevin Garnett can be regarded as the all-around representative of the league, but this season

The "Wolf King" averaged 23 points, 13.4 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.6 blocks per game...

Except for steals, his statistics in other aspects are not as good as Tim Duncan's this season.

Originally this season, Tim Duncan also led the Spurs to win the final championship.

Later, when we talked about "single-core championship", Nowitzki in 2011 and Tim Duncan in 2003 were bound to be on the discussion list. If we really want to say it, the role player configuration of the Mavericks in 2003 is definitely better than that in 2003.

Tim Duncan is better.

It shows how abnormal Tim Duncan is this season.

Jiang Dalin's average of 28.8 points, 14.5 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.8 blocks per game this season is not much advantage compared to him, and the Wizards have a bunch of famous guys.

Although they are all old, once the lineup is laid out, who dares to say that Jiang Dalin is the only one carrying the Wizards?

This is why when Jiang Dalin was chatting with Michael Jordan recently, he always said that you were the reason why I couldn't win the regular season MVP this season.

These old guys from the Wizards are really dragging him down!

The Spurs' opponent in the first round is the Golden State Warriors. There is not much to say about this team. One word can describe it: playoff cannon fodder.

In third place are the Kings.

The goal of this team is still to kill the Lakers, but it is worth saying that this will be the last glory of the Kings. After this year's playoffs, if the situation of this team does not change, it will continue to suffer

Doom, and then fall into "infinite sinking".

It's just a pity that the Kings this time should be no different from their original fate. After all, they have to face the more powerful Lakers!

The Spurs are struggling to get past them this year, let alone the Kings.

The fourth in the Western Conference is the Timberwolves, and the fifth in the Western Conference is the Mavericks. Kevin Garnett faces Nowitzki. These two can be regarded as two different endings in the "1 man, 1 city" mode. Nowitzki

Key has been enduring all kinds of "downfalls", and finally found the team that best suited him in 2011. In addition, he found the correct offensive mode, which allowed him to win the championship of his dreams.

As for Kevin Garnett, he went to Boston in 2007, teamed up with Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, and won the championship he wanted.

It was also two different results that gave two people different ideas.

Nowitzki feels lucky in his career. Kevin Garnett feels 'don't let loyalty hurt you'…

As the curtain of the regular season comes to an end, the playoff matches are determined, along with various data rankings.

The "scoring king" belongs to Tracy McGrady!

This is the first scoring title of his career.

Ever since he left Toronto in 2000 and wanted to become "Jordan", until now, at least this honor has proven that he has the ability to become Michael Jordan.

The second in the scoring list is Kobe, averaging 30 points per game, which is also Kobe's career high.

Although he did not break up with Shaquille O'Neal, his growth did not stop. And with Shaquille O'Neal's willingness to cooperate, his growth was much more reasonable than before.

After all, he was originally angry with Shaquille O'Neal for the right to take shots. The two often fought on their own, and everyone could see that there was something wrong with this team.

But now, not at all, the two often hook up after the game.

In fact, the original Shaquille O'Neal had already started "paddling" in the regular season in order to better prepare for the playoffs. If Kobe had talked to him properly, he would definitely cooperate.

The appearance of Jiang Dalin made the "OK" Lakers team feel like a formidable enemy, and also made the conflicts between them disappear. Jiang Dalin never thought that he was also a "peace ambassador."

Jiang Dalin ranks third in the scoring list with an average of 28.8 points per game. He has suddenly risen from a position of at least 20th to this position. Jiang Dalin's progress on the offensive end this year is visible to the naked eye.

Many people are even saying that Jiang Dalin should not win the regular season scoring title, otherwise, this year's scoring title will be his...

Jiang Dalin ranked third in the scoring list, and unfortunately ranked second in the rebounding list, failing to win the rebounding title like last season.

However, Ben Wallace is really a bit too good this season, averaging 15.8 rebounds per game.

Averaging nearly 16 rebounds per game, this guy can really steal it!

Jiang Dalin felt that he had not lost unfairly.

The "assist king" belongs to Jason Kidd, whose average of 8.9 assists per game is a bit low even in the "traditional center era".

But I don’t know why, but everyone’s assists per game are not high this season.

Chauncey Billups averages 7 assists per game, ranking 7th in the league...

The "shot blocking king" belongs to Ratliff.

The "Steals King" belongs to Allen Iverson.

Jiang Dalin didn't get any data-related honors this year. However, his goals and thoughts this year are really not on this. If not, there wouldn't be any.

Just two days after the end of the season, the "Best Rookie Award" for the 2002-03 season was announced. This award was won by Yao Ming just as Jiang Dalin thought at first.

When this news reached China, it caused a burst of emotion among the fans. Although Yao Ming's performance this season was not as vigorous as Jiang Dalin's first season, he was still ranked first among the rookies in 2002.

Location, that's it!

Jiang Dalin also sent congratulations to Yao Ming.

Stoudemire expressed his dissatisfaction to the media. However, Jiang Dalin was not worried. Although Stoudemire has become one of the best power forwards in the league since his rookie season, Yao Ming did not fail when he met him.

So no matter how unwilling Xiao Si is, it will be useless.

On April 15th, the NBA 02~03 season resumed.

Before the first game between the Wizards and the Magic, McGrady bluntly said to the media: "We may not necessarily lose, and the Wizards may not win!"

He was full of fighting spirit, and the reason was very simple. The media actually said that if Jiang Dalin didn't want to win the scoring title, he might not have won the final scoring title. This made McGrady very unhappy. Naturally, Jiang Dalin was unhappy.

And the Wizards are quite hostile.

Also full of fighting spirit are the "seniors" of the Wizards. They were indeed impressive enough during the regular season, but that was only at that time. Now is the time when their destiny is truly decided!

Whether you can win the championship or not, you really have to play every game well!

They are still 16 wins away from the championship!

Verizon Arena looks a lot different today than usual.

Although the Wizards already have the highest attendance in the entire league, when the playoffs come, the changes are still obvious. First of all, all the fans are wearing uniforms. This is prepared by the Wizards.

This caused all the fans at the scene to start shouting, as if they were an army.

Anyway, when the Magic team entered the court, everyone did feel a little more guilty, except for McGrady, who became more energetic the more he heard the boos!

Hush, hush, I will silence all these boos.

McGrady was furious and fully displayed his momentum. At the beginning of the game, Hamilton hit a mid-range shot from the Wizards to officially kick off tonight's game. McGrady immediately responded with a breakthrough one-handed dunk.

.

When he succeeded in dunking, he also glared at Jiang Dalin fiercely, which was full of provocation.

Kenny Smith couldn't help but laugh: "This is not the right choice, especially for the Magic's inside players. I have already seen Garrity crying."

He was really right, because when Garrity saw Tracy McGrady provoking him, he immediately shouted in his heart: "Brother, don't do it!"

Sure enough, Jiang Dalin took the initiative to get stuck under the basket in the next round. The Magic's inside line couldn't compete with him. They could only watch as he got the ball in his hand and then easily completed a dunk.

It is worth mentioning that Sean Kemp, the most violent power forward dunker in the second half of the 1990s, was sitting on the bench at the moment. Seeing Jiang Dalin complete a dunk under the basket so easily, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

His dunks when he was young were brutal enough, but in front of this guy, it seemed a bit unsatisfactory!

Anyway, it is really not an easy thing for him to dunk so easily when someone is guarding the basket, even for him in his peak period.

The Magic once again gave the ball to McGrady.

Standing in front of him was Billups. As for Michael Jordan, he switched to the Magic's No. 1 position, watching eagerly from the side.

I never thought that the "God of Basketball" could be so "sixth"!

Jiang Dalin was also convinced!

McGrady slowly dribbled the ball, observing the Wizards' defense, and suddenly took a step. With just this step, Billups was left behind him. He went directly to the inside from the center, and jumped up one step inside the free throw line, stretching his whole body.

, flew away like a wild goose spreading its wings, but just as he floated in front of the basket, Jiang Dalin came out from the side and hit the ball hard, ruining his dunk.
