Bishop of the Devil

Since the luck attribute has not been improved, Richard can only sigh, quite helpless.

…

In the blink of an eye, the Blazers' regular season schedule has been completed.

This season, the Trail Blazers have retained their position at the top of the Western Conference record list, and are also at the top of the league record list.

With a record of 66 wins and 16 losses, the number 666 is quite good.

It can be said that this season is another very successful season for the Trail Blazers...

It's definitely not as perfect as the undefeated season, but this season also broke the Trail Blazers' winning record in team history.

Richard himself led the team to a record of 65 wins in team history.

The fans must be quite satisfied with this, but now the Trail Blazers fans have been raised to be naughty...

They don't even care about the mere 66 wins in the regular season!

What they really care about is whether the Trail Blazers can defend their title this year and whether they can complete their dynasty of three consecutive championships!

At least now they are quite confident and believe that the Trail Blazers can build a dynasty!

Because the Trail Blazers really have the demeanor of an invincible team right now.

Within the entire Trail Blazers team, the one that attracts the most attention right now is not the Auburn duo, but the "inspirational model" Ricky Davis!

During this period, Richard still used Ricky Davis. As a result, this guy's statistics were quite dazzling, averaging about 25 points per game.

You must know that McGrady only has about 25 points, but he can be a starter in the Eastern Conference All-Stars!

If Ricky Davis can continue this performance, maybe he can become an All-Star starter next season!

But is it possible? !

Totally impossible!

If Ricky Davis can average more than double digits in points next season, Richard would rather live broadcast the game!

Now Richard actually also has the idea of ​​​​praising Ricky Davis.

The higher you hold it, the harder it falls!

By the time next season, he turns into a shitty player, I'm afraid the fans will feel sick and want to vomit.

The deeper the love, the harder the hate. Maybe the fans will be able to hack Ricky Davis out by then.

…

In the next playoffs, Richard plans to use Ricky Davis.

Of course, the finals cannot be reused...

If this guy gets the MVP of the finals, then Richard won't have anywhere to cry.

This year's finals MVP, Richard has been determined!

Xiao Ao...

…

With the end of the regular season schedule, the playoff lineup is also hotly released.

The top eight teams in the West are the Trail Blazers, Spurs, Lakers, Kings, Jazz, Mavericks, Suns and Timberwolves.

The Kings' ability to break into the top half of the Western Conference is actually quite unexpected.

Adelman, who had always had bad luck with the Warriors, finally proved himself after joining the Kings.

To say how good the Kings' lineup is, it's not that bad. At least among the playoff teams in the Western Conference, any team's lineup is probably better than the Kings' lineup.

However, their lineup is more reasonable, and coupled with Adelman's civilian tactics, their record has improved by leaps and bounds.

…

The old Western Conference teams of the past few years, the SuperSonics and Rockets, are now in complete decline and cannot even make it to the Western Conference playoffs.

This is also quite normal. No team can continue to be strong. Even giants like the Greencaps and the Lakers often fail to make the playoffs.

The Trail Blazers will face the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round. There will definitely be no big problem, and they will probably solve their opponents quite easily.

As for the second round of the playoffs, the opponent will be one of the Kings or Jazz.

If the two-person team wants to win the Trail Blazers, the odds are quite small, not much greater than the lottery.

When it comes to the Western Conference Finals, the opponent will be an old rival again, the Spurs or the Lakers!

In recent years, the Trail Blazers' opponents in the Western Conference Finals have always been one of these two teams!

Richard must still be looking forward to the opponent being the Spurs, because if they beat the Spurs, they will definitely win.

And if we play against the Lakers, there will be some unexpected situations...

Now I hope that Mr. Popovich can help him clear the obstacles and eliminate the Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals.

Of course, even if he really meets the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, Richard is not afraid of the Lakers. Although it may take a lot of effort, he is definitely confident that he can win.

…

The eight playoff teams in the Western Conference are an eye-opener for fans this time!

Because the top three teams in the Eastern Conference really have a close relationship with Richard...

The Philadelphia 76ers, Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls are the top three teams in the Eastern Conference!

You must know that these three teams are all brother teams of the Trail Blazers!

There are twin stars in all three teams...

The Philadelphia 76ers are the Philadelphia twin stars of Iverson and Da Zhi, the Green Kai team is the Green Kai twin star of Pierce and Billups, and the Bulls also have the Bulls twin star of Brand and Rasheed!

Even the head coaches of the 76ers and Bulls had been assistant coaches under Richard before!

In the eyes of the fans, the rise of these three teams is definitely not accidental, and it must have something to do with Richard!

The fans were actually right. There was indeed a relationship with Richard, but the relationship was not as big as they thought...

Richard only gave a little guidance on their lineup construction.

For example, the 76ers strengthened their inside line and introduced the old Oakley, and the Green Kai team introduced Uncle Mu. These were all pointed out by Richard.

Even without Richard's guidance, if these teams had some time, they would actually be fine.

As for the established strong teams in the East, such as the Pacers and Heat, they are all declining at the moment.

76ers, Celtics, Bulls, Bucks, Heat, Raptors, Magic, Pacers.

George Karl really has two brushes, bringing the Bucks to the top half of the Eastern Conference.

As for the Magic, thanks to the outstanding performances of McGrady and Mike Miller, they are now in the playoffs.

The Pacers, led by the Smiling Assassin, probably can no longer laugh at all now.

Last season, I was first in the Eastern Conference, but this season I was directly ranked last in the playoffs...

…

On April 20, the opening game of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs began. The Timberwolves challenged the league's dominant Portland Trail Blazers away!

The thought of playing against the Trail Blazers gave Garnett a headache...

He had a fight with Artest before, but this guy who looked like he had mad cow disease seemed to be targeting him.

All kinds of big elbows on the field are greeting me...

This made Garnett quite uncomfortable. He was not so afraid of Artest, but mainly afraid of Richard.

Everyone knows Richard's madness...

He can actually get into a fight with Artest. Taking advantage of his height, wingspan and guerrilla tactics, he can definitely beat Artest to a bruised face...

But then what? !

No one knows what Richard will do when he is furious.

Will he just use the strength of the entire team to destroy himself in a fit of anger? !

Although it is unlikely, who knows, what if Richard, that lunatic, really does this!

So this makes Garnett a little constrained, and he only uses 80% of his 100% strength.

Szczerbiak and Barry Jr. definitely don't have this problem.

Their performance in this series was pretty good...

Both averaged around 15 points per game.

As for Garnett, his averages of 19 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists per game are similar to his normal numbers.

Under normal circumstances, in the first round of this Western Conference playoffs, the Timberwolves would actually face the Spurs.

A direct conversation between Garnett and Duncan!

As a result, Garnett didn't lose much to Duncan in terms of statistics, but the team's record was relatively poor. In the first round, he was eliminated by Deng with a score of 3:1.

…

Fans should easily find that among the three power forwards in history, Garnett is actually the least popular one.

There is no doubt that Duncan has the best reputation, followed by Nowitzki, but there are no black spots...

Only Garnett was hacked.

The ultimate reason is that on the one hand, Garnett has a bit of a venomous mouth. He greets his wife with donuts every day. Who could like that?

On the other hand, the reason is that in this guy's direct dialogue with Duncan, although the two people's statistics are almost the same, Garnett has always lost more than he won!

The two played against each other in a total of 52 games, but Garnett only won 19 of them, while Duncan won 33 of them...

There were 8 games played in the playoffs, and Deng Daidai won six of them.

The gap is really too big!

If the two men were of different generations, that would still excuse the Wolf King, but now that these two are almost players of the same generation, with such a big difference in winning rates, it is really unjustifiable.

In fact, not only compared to Duncan, Garnett is also at a disadvantage compared to Nowitzki in winning games.

The two have played against each other in 40 games, with the old driver winning 23 games and Garnett only winning 17 games.

The playoffs were even worse. They met three times in total, and the Wolves were swept by Nowitzki...

They are both power forwards of the same era. Garnett has always been at a disadvantage in direct conversations with the other two.

This is after Garnett went to the East, otherwise, his situation would be even worse.

No wonder so many fans are Black Wolf King...

…

With a clean 3-0 sweep, the Trail Blazers advanced to the Western Conference semifinals.

The Timberwolves will never be an opponent of the Trail Blazers, and there is a 90% chance that they will be swept. This is something that all three-year-old fans know.

Even if the Timberwolves can win just one game against the Trail Blazers, it will probably be enough for Timberwolves fans to brag about for half a year.

…

After simply sweeping the Timberwolves, the Spurs and Lakers also completed sweeps.

The only thing in the West that didn't advance was the matchup between the Kings and Jazz.

However, the Kings currently have a 2:1 advantage and still have a chance to eliminate the Jazz and meet the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference semifinals.
