NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 44 Elimination of the Clippers
"The Suns eliminated the Clippers 4:2 and reached the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years. Without Amare Stoudemire, they are still a strong team in the league!"

"Elton Brand averaged 6 points, 33.2 rebounds and 10.4 assists in 4.3 games. His performance was impeccable. Unfortunately, he could only fight alone. The only helper was the old Cassel."

"Marion averaged 25 points and 12.6 rebounds in six games, Nash had 18 points and 11.4 assists, and Wang Chao had 22.4 points. The performance of the three may become the key factors for the Suns to break through in the West!"

It is somewhat surprising that the Suns can reach the Western Conference finals. Although they have eliminated the Lakers and Clippers in a row, two Los Angeles teams, it has to be admitted that the rankings caused by the division have given the Suns a lot of convenience.

Originally, with the record of the Suns, they could only be ranked No.3 in the West, lower than the Spurs and Mavericks who won 63 and 60 wins respectively.

However, because the Spurs and Mavericks are in the same division, the Mavericks can only rank fourth in the West with a record of 60 wins, staggering the possibility of meeting the second Suns in the West.

The result was that the No. 4 Spurs in the Western Conference and the Mavericks, who were No. 3 in the Western Conference, met early in the conference semifinals and staged a classic battle. In the end, the Mavericks came out on top and eliminated the Spurs [-]:[-] to enter the Western Conference Finals.

The Spurs will be eliminated by the Mavericks. It can be regarded as an upset. Duncan is at the peak of his career. Displayed a dominant performance at both ends.

Parker and Ginobili of the GDP Big Three also averaged 20+ points per game.

But this season's Mavericks are really strong.

Facing Duncan at his peak, Nowitzki performed unequivocally, averaging 27 points, 13.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was also as high as 52.7%. Excellent, Terry's performance is not inferior to Ginobili, and Josh Howard, Stockhouse, Devin Harris and others scored in double figures.

On the other hand, the Spurs, in addition to the GDP combination, the only player who can make a move is forward Michael Finley, who averaged 10.6 points per game.

The elimination of the Spurs in the tiebreaker boosted the momentum of the Mavericks team. The opponents in the Western Conference Finals still lack Stoudemire's Suns. This can be said to be their best chance to win the championship.

Wang Chao is very clear that if the normal historical development is followed, the Suns will indeed stop at the Western Conference Finals.

During the peak years of the Suns, if Nash was like the team's brain and steering wheel, then Stoudemire was undoubtedly the team's engine, directly determining the team's maximum speed limit.

Last season, Stoudemire averaged 29.9 points and 10.7 rebounds per game in the playoffs, shooting 54% from the field. His performance was explosive, especially in the Western Conference Finals matchup with the Spurs. Although the Suns lost 1:4 Negative opponent, but the duel between Stoudemire and Duncan was the former's victory.

五场比赛，斯塔德迈尔场均可以以55%的命中率得到恐怖的37分9.8篮板，表现甚至压制住了邓肯的27.4分13.8篮板。

Everyone knows the importance of Stoudemire to the Suns, so even if the Suns suddenly turned out to be Wang Chao this season, it will be difficult for most people to compete with the Mavericks.

……

Before the start of the East and West finals, the league first announced the results of the season lineup selection.

Nash averaged 18.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 10.5 assists per game, and was selected to the best team without any suspense. He was also selected with Kobe, James, Nowitzki and O'Neal.

The five members of the best second team are Billups, Wade, Brand, Duncan and Ben Wallace.

The five players selected for the third team are Arenas, Iverson, Anthony, Marion and Dayao.

This is the second time in Dayao's career that he has been selected to the All-NBA team, and it is also the first time in Dayao's career that he has won a 20+10 double-double in the regular season.

Fans all over the country are cheering for Dayao's achievements. The only regret is that the Rockets were eliminated by the Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs. Although the score was 4:3, Dayao played 7 games. The average performance of 21.4 points and 7.7 rebounds is not inferior to Nowitzki, but the Rockets lost after all.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Chao paid special attention to recent domestic sports news.

Sure enough, no matter whether it was TV media, magazines, newspapers, or the computer Internet that was gradually expanding and expanding in China at this time, there was no news about him.

It seems that he must have been banned, and the intensity of the ban is not small. After all, after the two rounds of the playoffs, he averaged 21.7 points per game, even higher than Marion and Nash. Team scoring leader so far.

His accurate three-pointers and tireless running on the court have caused round after round of heated discussions in the league.

Wang Chao knows that with his current performance, there must be many fans in China who discuss him, but the United States, far across the ocean, cannot get feedback through simple methods such as news and newspapers.

During this period of time, Wang Chao also tried to insinuate what happened to him in China during the phone call with his family, but his parents hesitated every time, as if they did not want to mention Wang Chao's sad past. Avoid exposing your identity as a time traveler, and don't dare to ask too much.

"It doesn't matter, the average 21.7 points per game can be suppressed in the country. After I play better and better, I will become a top player in the league that is no less than Dayao or even stronger than Dayao. Let's see if they can still suppress it. Come on, it's just a matter of time."

Wang Chao is not in a hurry about this. The only impact this matter has on him at present is that he cannot sign a contract with a domestic manufacturer like Dayao as the endorsement of Kara Leek.

Anyway, he has asked his father to use all the salary he sent back to buy a house in the capital, and he plans to continue to do so after the team salary is paid. After a few years, the income from this investment will be considerable, enough to eat and drink for a lifetime No worries.

This incident was just a small episode for Wang Chao, and he soon turned his attention to the opponent Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals.

If possible, he wants to help the team win the Mavericks and reach the finals as much as possible.
