Chinese magic

Chapter 182 The playoffs start

At the beginning of the season, no one thought that the Golden State Warriors would successfully enter the playoffs, and what is even more unexpected is that they can still occupy the seventh place in the Western Conference.

It's not that the Warriors are rubbish, they have had glory days and won championships.Just in the last few seasons, under the leadership of the bearded Davis, they successfully completed the black eight, and abruptly swept the Dallas Mavericks out as the eighth in the Western Conference.

But at the end of last season, Big Beard was sent away, and the entire team's lineup was dismantled. Everyone thought that even if they had cultivated an attacking expert Ellis, there were not many people like that. It can be considered that they can reach the quarterfinals of the Western Conference.

But now that the season is over, the Golden State Warriors have used their record to make all the bricks and beasts fall below their glasses. They have achieved 48 wins throughout the season and a record of 34 losses. Only half a win gap.

The regular season is over, and the East and West games will be played one after another in the future. The playoff teams on both sides have all come out.In the west, the San Antonio Spurs, which are centered on GDP, ranked first in the West with a record of 60 wins and 22 losses, followed by last season's Western champion Los Angeles Lakers.

The Los Angeles Lakers sent away their superstar Ouyang Yue this season. This transaction was considered incredible by all fans and experts.Last season, the Los Angeles Lakers made it to the finals. It can be said that China Yue is indispensable. He averaged 17 points per game in the regular season, and even averaged 19 points per game in the playoffs.

It can be said that many people are waiting to see the Lakers joke, just like when the Lakers selected Ouyang with the No. [-] pick, they all thought it was nonsense.But in fact, the combat effectiveness shown by the Los Angeles people this season has shut up all those who think that the Lakers' fighters will decline.

As for why the No. [-] in the West is the Spurs?This is normal. They are known for their stability under the leadership of Popovich. It seems that from the beginning of the season, Popovich has planned for the rest of his game.No matter which team they face, they will always go all out, unlike the Los Angeles Lakers, who always use pride and arrogance.

The top two in the West are within everyone's expectations, but No.3 is indeed a bit surprising. They are the Houston Rockets led by Yao Ming and McGrady. The weather of the champion would be better if there is no infighting.

They lost their all-star power forward Yao Ming with one month left in the season!So much so that their winning percentage in the last month is not very good. Of course, with their previous record, they don’t have to worry about the teams behind them catching up. It’s just that when the playoffs are about to end, they lose a player who can average 20+10 per game. Center, whoever that team is, is a huge hit.

The following teams are also old faces in the playoffs. The Denver Nuggets, who were chaotic in the locker room last season, have made a comeback this season, and it seems that they have dealt with their internal problems to a certain extent, at least Compared with last season's barely catching the last train of the playoffs, this season they have reached the fourth place in the Western Conference.

After the Nuggets is the Portland Trail Blazers, which is a bit surprising this season. They have one of the best combinations in the league-LaMarcus Aldridge and Brandon Roy, but after the start of the new season Except for their "injured champion" Alden the Great, their plastic surgery has never been complete, even now Roy still wears thick protective gear on his legs!

If Paul's New Orleans Hornets hadn't suffered a sudden six-game losing streak at the end of the season, it is estimated that the Blazers would not have the opportunity to stand in the fifth position in the West.And because of that losing streak, the Hornets, whose record has declined, only ranked sixth in the Western Conference, which is a bit disappointing.

Next is the Golden State Warriors led by Ouyang and Ellis. They made a sudden effort in the second half of the season to stabilize their seventh position in the Western Conference. Some people say that based on their state at the time, if there are 10 games left, Maybe the Warriors' record can be improved to a higher level.

The eighth is the Utah Jazz. Salt Lake City, which has two All-Stars, Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer, has only caught up with the last train of the playoffs this season. If Deron wants to win the championship, he still has to Some have a long way to go.

This is the list of the top eight in the Western Conference, and when it comes to the pity, we have to talk about the Dallas Mavericks led by Nowitzki. As one of the top three in Texas, they got the All-Star point guard Jason Smith from the Nets this season. Kidd, coupled with a German chariot with no solution to shooting, they have become one of the teams with the highest hopes of winning the league.

Even if Tyson Chandler, whom they acquired from the Hornets, has grown to the point where he guards the Mavericks' penalty area alone, even if Kidd and his lobs have the style of New Orleans, but this season They still only achieved a record of 41 wins and 41 losses.

The Dallas Mavericks with a record of 50% in the West did not enter the playoffs, but the Bucks and Pistons in the East only had a winning percentage of about 48%, but they are now a member of the playoffs. The league has a long history The west is strong and the east is weak, so Cuban can only do nothing.

The Eastern Conference is also polarized this season. Except for the three teams of Cleveland of the Little Emperor, the Big Three of the Celtics, and the Magic of Warcraft, which has already had a little bit of style from the Sharks this season, the rest of the teams and There is simply no way to compare in the West.

The Atlanta Hawks, although they forced the Celtics into the seventh game last season, this does not mean that they are really on the same level as the Celtics. They have only one player except Johnson. There is only one Al Horford who hasn't fully grown up yet.

The rest is that the Philadelphia 76ers who have lost Allen Iverson occupy the fifth place; The wave winning streak became the seventh in the Eastern Conference, and the last one was the Milwaukee Bucks.

The top eight teams in the East and West have all been produced. The opponent of the Golden State Warriors is the Los Angeles Lakers, who have shown their sharpness this season. This is the result that Nelson is the last to see.In comparison, they would rather play against the Holy City Spurs with the best record in the league. After all, they have two wins and two losses against the Spurs this season, and they lost all four games against Los Angeles.

Although the records of the two teams are only one game apart, the Lakers have 59 wins and the Spurs have 60 wins, but the old Nelson feels that the Los Angeles Lakers are stronger, and their performance in the playoffs will be stronger than the Spurs. But the opponent cannot be determined by himself. Since it is the Lakers, Nelson will not sit still.

The first game between the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles was at 4 pm on April 17. The day before was the Spurs game against the Jazz. In the end, the veteran Spurs played the first game at home.

In this game, the Warriors will play two games at Staples in Los Angeles, and then return to Oakland, Golden State to play three games.The Warriors players entered the game, and this group of fans, known as the most aristocratic style in the league, also lost their "star fan" in the regular season during the playoffs.

But when Ouyang played, the performance of all the fans moved Ouyang!This season, the Warriors have played four games against Los Angeles, and two at home, but they don't have the treatment they have today.

It seemed to be a good deal, all Los Angeles fans stood up and cheered!This kind of treatment is very rare for a rookie, which shows that Ouyang was very popular with fans in Los Angeles.

Players from both sides entered the field, and Ouyang also went to the Lakers to communicate with his big brothers.Kobe first

"Hey, Kobe! I didn't expect that our playoffs this season would be like this!" Ouyang said helplessly.

"Indeed! I think you might lose a championship ring!" Kobe Bryant spoke in a relaxed tone, but the content of the words was not.

"You are still so confident! But I think you should beat us first, don't you?" Ouyang and Kobe will not have any trash talk, but it is impossible to say that your team will lose .

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then Ouyang began to hug his teammates in Los Angeles one by one. Of course, this hug did not include Andrew Bynum.

At the beginning of the game, the small sharks won the right to attack for the first time for Los Angeles, and the old fish began to organize the rhythm of the first attack for the Lakers.

The playoffs are the same as the regular season, and Ouyang still serves as a bench to help the Warriors grab points.At the beginning of the game, the Los Angeles Lakers did not enter the state immediately. They seemed to have committed an old problem and began to underestimate the enemy.

The offensive cooperation lost the flexibility and fluency of the past. The defensive end let Ellis hit two three-pointers. Coupled with Biedrins's dunk, the Warriors beat everyone's expectations by 8:0. start.

Zen Master still sat on the Diaoyutai with a smile on his face, and didn't mean to call a timeout at all. He was not in a hurry for Kobe!He waved his hand to let the old fish go away and stood in front of Ellis to defend, and just now he had a one-handed dunk after a breakthrough.

But once the Lakers' old problems are committed, they still can't easily adjust!Except for Kobe who slowly regained his senses, the others have been unable to get nervous. It seems that the Warriors' fighting power is simply not noticeable to them.

Kobe didn't speak with a dark face, but he had already bitten his jersey!This is Kobe's ruthless move, Ouyang knows, Ellis knows, everyone knows.

Ellis' continuous shaking failed to shake Kobe's center of gravity. When Ellis wanted to change to the right cut, the ball was knocked off by Kobe who had been staring. ,

Ellis still couldn't protect the ball perfectly in the breakthrough. When he reacted and chased back, Kobe had already reached the three-point line of the Warriors' half. Ellis had no choice but to drive Kobe to dunk again.
