Chapter 1171 Playoff Match

New fans who have never watched the NBA in the 1980s and 1990s feel that Zuo Li exceeds their imagination, while fans who have been through that era have integrated Zuo Li with the memory of Michael Jordan in their minds.

Everything is too similar. At this time, Zuo Li and Jordan at their peak are extremely close to dominating the entire league.

Many young fans have experienced the era of the four major points, Kobe Bryant, and the 2003 golden generation, and are impressed by the strength they displayed.

But compared to Jordan, their dominance is even worse!

Throughout fifteen years in the NBA, Jordan has achieved countless personal achievements and set many jaw-dropping records, and even today, many of them are still unbreakable.

The simplest example is that in 1998, the 35-year-old Jordan still scored 28.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.7 steals in the regular season. Pippen underwent surgery due to a back injury and was absent for 38 years.

In each game, it can be said that Jordan was shouldering huge pressure and leading the team forward. The Bulls' record was finally fixed at the league's best 62 wins and 20 losses. As a result, Jordan defeated Karl Malone and won the championship.

Won the fifth regular season MVP trophy in his career.

In addition, the double first team is naturally within his reach, not to mention the All-Stars.

For Jordan, he was crowned the scoring champion for the tenth time and became a unique presence in the NBA.

In addition to scoring 23 points in the All-Star Game, as a star among stars, he also won the All-Star Game MVP, completing a crazy harvest of honors in the regular season.

In the playoffs, he led the Bulls to victory, giving Reggie Miller a lifelong championship in the tiebreaker, and completely shattered the peak of Utah's two evils in the finals.

Throughout the finals, the 35-year-old Jordan averaged 33.5 points, 4 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.8 steals per game. Of course, he won his sixth championship trophy and the finals MVP.

At the age of 35, he won three MVPs in the season, won the scoring title and double first team, and finally took away the championship and established the second Bulls dynasty.

This is the truth about Jordan, and it is also the reason why no one can really compare with him so far.

Not to mention his unparalleled off-court influence created by Jordan's unique charm.

It can be said that before Zuo Li appeared, no one really came close to Jordan. Maybe Jordan could do it when the Lakers won three consecutive championships, but it was only three years, and the entire career is incomparable.

But now, Zuo Li has become the next one and the one closest to Jordan.

Looking back on the past five years, he seems to have replicated Jordan's rise, but he has done better than Jordan. Now, we are waiting for this year's playoffs to see whether Zuo Li can elevate his honor again.

"It's difficult, but we must do it."

This is Zuo Li's request for himself.

To be honest, Jordan has taken the honor to the extreme. Not to mention him, none of the top ten are monsters. It is not easy to surpass any of them. This season is a good opportunity to do something that others cannot do.

things will get a higher evaluation.

So after admiring his regular season data, Zuo Li set his sights on the playoffs.

The first, of course, is the east.

The eight playoff teams are the New York Knicks, Miami Heat, Indiana Pacers, Chicago Bulls, Brooklyn Nets, Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics, and Milwaukee Bucks.

These teams have familiar faces, such as the top four, and they are no different from what everyone thought.

There are also surprises, such as the Nets, who moved to Brooklyn, returned to the playoffs after 7 years, and the Bucks, who finally caught the last train of the playoffs.

But the Bucks may not be particularly happy because they have become the Knicks' first opponent.

With only 34 wins this season, they can't even reach a 50% winning rate, but there's no way, the Knicks are too dominant this season, plus there are two powerful players, the Heat and the Pacers, leading to things like them

Such a team will inevitably become a record cash machine.

However, the Bucks don’t need to be too sad, because according to Zuo Li’s prediction, the teams ranked 5-8 in the first round of the four-group matchup will hardly pose any substantial threat to the top four teams, probably only the Celtics.

The grudge match between Ren and the Heat is a bit interesting.

As a melon-eater, Zuo Liting is looking forward to this series. The Boston fans shouted slogans early on to make the betrayers lose everything. Ray Allen's return to the North Shore Garden is unlikely to bring any good results.

eat.

But from a rational point of view, it is almost impossible for the Celtics to overturn the Heat.

"The Eastern Conference is still comfortable. The playoffs start from the second round."

After reading the battle map, Zuo Li thought.

In recent years, the strength gap in the Eastern Conference has become more and more outrageous. The gap in strength between the top four and the following teams is unimaginable. It's no wonder that James has been unable to live without the Eastern Conference for so many years. This place is really good.

In comparison, the Western Conference is simply the ultimate in involution. This season, the top eight in the Western Conference are: Thunder, Spurs, Lakers, Nuggets, Clippers, Grizzlies, Rockets and Jazz!

Because of Zuo Li's relationship, the Warriors, who were supposed to rise this season, are still rebuilding, while the Lakers, who originally barely made it into the playoffs because Kobe Bryant had to risk his Achilles tendon, are ranked third in the Western Conference, and Kobe is not injured.

This also gave the Rockets and Jazz an advantage, and they successfully entered the playoffs.

But they say it's a bargain, but in fact both the Rockets and Jazz have won 45 games, with a winning rate of over 50%!

The Mavericks, with 41 wins, only ranked ninth!

You must know that the Celtics, who are seventh in the Eastern Conference, have only won 39 games. The involution of the Western Conference is evident.

As for the top six teams, their winning margin is even more outrageous. Except for the Thunder with 60 wins, the Spurs are closely followed with 58 wins, followed by the Lakers in third, the Nuggets in fourth, and the Clippers in fifth. All of them are

It’s 55 wins, while the sixth-place Grizzlies have 54 wins…

In other words, the Thunder, who are first in the Western Conference, only have 6 more wins than the Grizzlies, who are sixth.

The gap between the Knicks and the sixth-place Hawks in the Eastern Conference is 30 games...

The difference does not need to be described too much.

This also makes the first-round showdown in the Western Conference full of highlights. Whether it's the Spurs playing the Rockets, the Lakers playing the Grizzlies, or the Clippers playing the Nuggets, it's all full of suspense and a lot of things to watch.

It’s no wonder that after the matchup, various media joked: “The Eastern Conference can start watching from the second round, but the Western Conference needs to chase every day!”

There is nothing wrong with this. After all, Zuo Li has already planned to study the opponents in the second round. If the predictions are correct, they will meet the Bulls again this time. This long-awaited matchup and the long-awaited encounter with a healthy Rose made Zuo Li

Extremely excited.

As for the Bucks…

"I'm sorry, I'm here to sweep you away."

In the opening game of the playoffs, Zuo Li said this to Bogut.
