NBA: Purple Gold Emperor

According to league rules, players are not paid in the playoffs and only in the regular season.

The playoffs only have bonuses, which are pitiful compared to various sky-high contracts.

It can be said that the playoffs are purely for the players to fight for honor.

If there is no sense of honor and playing just to mess around and eat, then some players would like to have no playoffs!

But generally, players who can gain a foothold in the NBA aspire to the playoffs and even championships.

Many players do not hesitate to take a big salary cut to keep strong teammates or join a strong team to hold their thighs and win championships.

Dwayne Wade, for example, has a career salary cut of more than $30 million.

Another example is Durant, who would rather bear the infamy and join the Warriors to form a dynasty-level championship team.

So, from this, you can see how much the players attach importance to the playoffs.

Everyone craves the championship ring of the year!

But the competition in sports leagues is very cruel, and there is only one winner.

Once it comes to the playoffs, the atmosphere of the whole league becomes different.

Everyone’s nerves tightened, and they began high-intensity training, watching videos, and studying tactics, which was a completely different atmosphere from the regular season.

Because the regular season is very long, 82 games, losing one and winning one is not really much use.

Unless it’s a key game for a playoff ranking.

But the playoffs are different, seven games per round, one loss and one win, that’s a world of difference.

Any team will pay great attention to it and dare not slack off in the slightest negligence.

After the regular season, the Western Conference rankings were: Lakers, Warriors, Spurs, Rockets, Clippers, Jazz, Thunder, Grizzlies.

According to the playoff rules, the first place in the West will play against the eighth in the West, which means that the Lakers will play the Grizzlies.

Although the Grizzlies are in 8th place, the Thunder in No. 7 may all play better than the Grizzlies for the Lakers.

The Grizzlies belong to the kind of team that fights positional battles with you most of the rounds, physically exhausted, and real hand-to-hand combat.

While it’s hard to go further in the playoffs without a superstar, no one wants to run into such a team.

Even if you can win in the end, you will be rubbed off a layer of skin under the entanglement of grizzly bears.

The Grizzlies’ Conley, Tony Allen, Gasol Jr. and Zaclandorf are all defensive titans.

During the regular season, Lin Ming had seen the Grizzlies’ style of play.

Playing against such a team, the data will shrink a lot.

Because the Grizzlies are slow and have few rounds, it’s hard to get a high score.

Sometimes the Grizzlies and some run-and-bomb teams can play a score of 10.

Of course, for a beginner in the playoffs, statistics are also important, but winning is still his highest goal.

Reaching the Western Conference Finals and even the Finals and winning the championship is what Lin Ming really cares about!

At the end of the regular season, there are 4 rest adjustments to prepare for the playoffs.

The Lakers gave all their players two days off before returning to training to prepare for the playoffs.

Previously, Lin Ming signed a lot of endorsements, plus the Lakers gave him a contract with an annual salary of 2500W, so Lin Ming’s current savings are almost 3000W US dollars.

In half a day, Lin Ming took several promotional pictures and videos of endorsement advertisements, and then took T, NT’s special car to T, NT’s studio in Los Angeles, ready for an interview.

Because the playoffs are about to begin, the real tension stage has arrived.

During the regular season, many people who didn’t follow the NBA occasionally now set their sights on the playoffs.

Because the excitement of the playoffs is not comparable to the regular season at all, it is naturally more eye-catching.

As the hottest player in the league at the moment, T, NT will definitely interview him before the start of the playoffs.

Interviewing Lin Ming were T, NT four sons O’Neal, Barkley, Reggie Miller and Kenny Smith.

Taking out such a lineup to interview Lin Ming shows how much T and NT attach importance to him.

O’Neal spoke first: “What kind of results do you think the Lakers can get this year?” West Finale? Or the finals, the championship? ”

“Our goal has always been to win a championship, but as long as we can make the playoffs and get to the Western Conference as much as possible, that’s what makes it.”

“Because the team itself is average, and the new players have limited time to join the team, they will not give themselves too high requirements. Of course, we will fight for the championship. ”

Lin Ming maintained his usual modesty.

After all, it is only the first season, and Lin Ming will definitely do his best to compete for the championship.

But there are too many strong enemies to encounter on the way, and if he doesn’t get it, Lin Ming won’t be too sad.

“Given the best player for every position in league history, who is your favorite?” Barkley asked.

It’s a question often asked by the media, interviewing NBA players and asking them to name their all-time best team.

In any case, the media can give you various interpretations, and then exaggerate reports and renderings to increase their own topic and traffic.

In this regard, T, NT is also very good at making trouble, which is setting a set for Lin Ming.

Of course, Lin Ming has nothing to hide, if you want to interview me, I will be blunt, just tell the truth.

As for how the media interprets and distorts it, that’s not something Lin Ming should manage, and he doesn’t bother to care, he just does an interview and takes the money to leave.

“I think the best lineup, center…”

Lin Ming looked at O’Neill, and then said Abdul-Jabbar’s name, which made the originally hopeful O’Neill instantly vomit blood.

“Power forward Duncan, small forward Lebra James, point guard… John the Magician. ”

It’s basically the accepted answer, and there’s nothing special.

On the surface, this answer is difficult to give the media a chance to play with the question.

“As for the shooting guard, you know! Who I am going to choose, there is no doubt about that. Lin Ming smiled.

Because among the five positions, the least difficult to choose may be the shooting guard position.

As the first man in the NBA, basketball god Michael Jordan’s status is untouchable.

“Of course you know, Michael.” Barkley immediately answered.

Lin Ming showed surprise, his eyes widened, and then he shook his head: “Of course not, the best shooting guard in my heart will be myself.” Michael Jordan is awesome, but I’ll overtake him, that’s for sure. “_
