The strongest bishop in the NBA

Chapter 302 The best lineup of the regular season is released

In fact, during the game, whether it was Garnett or Pierce, they tried many times to take over the game and lead the team to victory, but things backfired.

Pierce averaged 18 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game, but under Leonard's defense, his shooting percentage was only 35.8%, and he averaged 5.3 turnovers per game.

Garnett's situation is a little better, but only in terms of scoring efficiency, he can guarantee a shooting rate of about 50%. The average of 14 points and 9.5 rebounds per game does not directly help the Celtics win.

This is still the case under the condition of doing their best. When the two are one year older next season, the situation will undoubtedly become even worse.

At this moment, Boston fans feel very confused. Pierce's contract will not expire until 14 years, and Garnett's contract will be maintained until 15 years. This will also mean that within two years, the Celtics there is no hope...

They certainly didn't expect that there is no need to worry about this at all, because after the end of this season, Celtics general manager Angie will find a way to pack Garnett and Pierce away, allowing the team to enter the rebuilding stage ahead of schedule.

Trading the veterans of the team is a very shameful thing, and Angie will also be spurned by countless Green Army fans because of this deal.

It won't be long before the fans will shout that it is really fragrant.

After trading away Garnett Pierce, the Celtics only sank for one season, returned to the playoffs under the leadership of coach Stevens, and became one of the strong teams in the Eastern Conference in just a few years.

Of course, that's another story. The Nets now have Jeremy Lin, full of vigor, and there is no need to take over the two old guys Garnett and Pierce. It's hard to say whether Angie can trade the two in a package this summer.

……

Sweeping the Celtics 4:0 made the Wizards the first team to enter the second round, followed by the Spurs who also swept the Lakers 4:0.

The Spurs ranked second in the West in the regular season, while the Lakers ranked seventh in the West. The two teams met in the first round of the playoffs.

Without Kobe and Nash, the Lakers are no match for the Spurs with Gasol and Howard alone. Even if the Spurs don’t have Leonard, the striker’s strength is a notch weaker than that of another time and space, but they are still 4:0. Easily eliminated the Lakers.

Poor Kobe, the regular season desperately dragged the Lakers into the playoffs, but the team was eliminated in the first round.

After the game, Kobe clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with the team's fighting spirit, and Howard was also very impatient in front of the media. Obviously, Howard will basically not stay with the Lakers this summer. The Lakers super F4 combination It also fell apart as it was swept out in the first round of the playoffs.

Except for the Wizards and the Spurs, there were no other sweeps in the first round.

In the east, the heat and the Pacers game went to 3:1, and the Heat got the match point, but the tenacious resistance of the Pacers also gave the Heat a little headache.

The game between the Knicks and the Hawks was tied 2:2. Many people did not expect that the Knicks had nothing to do with the Hawks' center Al Horford. Tyson Chandler's interior defensive ability was first-class in the league. But it was a bit difficult to meet a center like Horford who has a precise mid-range shot.

The two sides are about to have a battle at Tianwangshan, and Wang Xiao is more optimistic that the Knicks will win in the end. After all, the combination of Anthony + Deron is powerful even in singles.

In the last group in the East, the Nets VS Bulls, the situation is clearer than the Knicks and Eagles.

At this time, the Nets have already held the match point 3:1.

Without Rose, the Bulls are toothless tigers. Although relying on Thibodeau's defensive system to maintain some strength, they have no offensive firepower. It is even more difficult to defeat the Nets with Jeremy Lin.

……

What makes Wang Xiao a little concerned is that once the Nets eliminate the Bulls and enter the second round, their opponent in the second round will be Wang Xiao's Wizards.

This will be the first master-apprentice match between Wang Xiao and Jeremy Lin in the playoffs.

The Knicks can breathe a sigh of relief. Now they would rather face the Heat than face the Wizards in advance.

Because the Knicks have also been eliminated by the Wizards in the playoffs for two consecutive years.

The Big Three of the Heat, the Big Three of the Celtics, and the Big Three of the Knicks, in recent years, their trip to the playoffs has basically all fallen on Wang Xiao's Wizards.

The Wizards can almost be said to be the eternal nightmare of the Big Three teams in the East.

……

A few days later, the results of the first round were all released.

热火4:1淘汰步行者，尼克斯4:2淘汰老鹰，篮网同样以4:2的比分淘汰掉公牛挺近第二轮。

In this way, the second round of the Eastern Conference is the script of Wizards VS Nets, Heat VS Knicks.

In the West, the second round matchup is the Trail Blazers against the Clippers, and the Spurs against the Thunder.

Before the start of the second round of competition, the league began to announce the major awards of the regular season.

The first to be announced is the best team and the best defensive team.

The best team list is Curry, Kobe, James, Durant and Duncan.

The best second team list is Paul, Jeremy Lin, Anthony, Griffin and Gasol Jr.

The best three team selection is Tony. Parker, Wade, Harden, George and Howard.

The selection of the best team is quite pertinent and reasonable, but there is nothing in this world that can satisfy everyone, and there are still many people who are dissatisfied that some players were not selected for the best team.

For example, Westbrook, who led the Thunder to advance to the second round, averaged 23 points, 5.2 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game in the regular season, but he couldn't even be selected for the third team. Harden's Kings didn't even make it to the playoffs and became the best third team member……

But such debates are endless and never-ending, and have no practical significance.

Just like Thompson and Leonard, who performed well this season, also failed to be selected for the best team. Although Wang Xiao also had some criticisms, he only complained a few words.

The Wizards only selected Curry for the first team and George for the third team, which is exactly the same as last season, but it was a bumper harvest in the best defensive team.

Leonard was selected to the All-Defensive First Team, while Thompson and George were both selected to the All-Defensive Second Team.

In fact, with George's defensive ability, he is fully capable of being selected for the best defensive team. But this season, he mainly plays the power forward position. Facing the inside line of other teams, he is at a disadvantage in height and weight. Naturally, he is often beaten because of this weakness. The defensive effect is slightly worse than Leonard's.

A team has three players in the best defensive team, which is quite a remarkable achievement. People are amazed at the rapid rise of the Wizards' defensive power, but only Wang Xiao understands that next season, the Wizards There may not be three but four selected to the All-Defensive Team.

You know, Drummond Green, who is squatting on the bench, is already hungry and thirsty!
