super legend

Chapter 495 Playoffs!
"I don't feel wrong, I definitely don't feel wrong. The current Cavaliers are a team that can compete with the Boston Celtics, Orlando Magic, and Los Angeles Lakers! The Cavaliers with me and Marvin Ayton, The strength is completely above the Lakers of Kobe and Pau Gasol!"

James was very excited. He didn't expect that an end game of the regular season, where victory or defeat is not important, would make him so excited. He has been in the league for almost 6 years and has played against many strong teams. He knows his team very well. What is the level of strength now? The Cavaliers without Marvin Ayton are now the top three teams in the Eastern Conference. With Marvin Ayton, the Cavaliers will be super-class. There is no doubt about it!
"We're better than the Lakers! We're better than the Magic! We're better than the Boston Celtics!"

James is more and more aware of this. If the Cavaliers can already beat these three teams, why should other teams be afraid?

Phil Jackson's expression today has also become different from before. He sat quietly in the player's bench without speaking or whistling. He didn't respond to any changes on the field. Every offense and defense on the Cavaliers.

From the expression on his face, it could be seen that the worried color on his face was getting heavier, especially when Marvin Ayton scored.

"Oops, the Cavaliers may be the strongest team in the league now. LeBron James has always been underestimated. This is because Eric Sun in the same class is too radiant. LeBron has repeatedly belittled LeBron, who has not achieved personal honor. In fact, LeBron is not as good as Sun in every aspect except shooting, especially in terms of overall situation, ball control and passing. And now, the emergence of Marvin Ayton has made up for LeBron James' shooting shortcomings, and the Cavaliers have new candidates for key shots. LeBron and Marvin Ayton are definitely greater than Sun."

"Marvin Ayton is obviously an All-Star player, but he has missed so many games, and he is not interested in the All-Star Game. He deliberately chose to come back at this time. Maybe he wanted to test the strength of the strongest team in the West. LeBron James' Cavaliers are already a strong team that can compete with the Magic for the No. I'm afraid the game will lose miserably."

Zen master is very familiar with the strength of these teams in the East. The Magic is only a team relying on Sun Zhuo alone. Now James and Ayton can completely offset Sun Zhuo's super strength. On the court, the combination of the two superstars The threat is definitely greater than the threat of only one superstar. From this point of view, it is difficult for the Magic to break through the Cavaliers.

Similarly, how can the Lakers, who lost to the Magic, be the opponent of the Cavaliers?
On the court, the Lakers just played better and tended to catch up with the score. Marvin Ayton suddenly took the initiative to ask James for the ball, dribbled slowly through halftime, and suddenly launched an attack. , Directly shot a three-pointer!

Swish!
"Cold-blooded!" Phil Jackson stood up from his seat. The Lakers had a chance to tie the score and regain their momentum and confidence, but Marvin Ayton made another three-pointer at such a critical time!The confidence that the Lakers had built up with great difficulty was instantly shattered!

"This guy... this old guy, too confident, too good at destroying opponents at certain times, the Cavaliers are dominated by LeBron most of the time, Marvin Ayton looks like a normal character Just like a player, it's unnoticed, but once the game gets to certain critical moments, this guy will step up and score, which is terrible."

Just as Zen Master was thinking, the assistant coach of the Lakers suddenly stepped forward and whispered in Zen Master's ear: "Judging from Marvin Ayton's offensive efficiency, Marvin Ayton is the Cavaliers..."

"I know." Zen Master stretched out his hand, not letting the other party say it, but secretly said in his heart, "Perhaps Marvin Ayton is the strongest player in the Cavaliers!"

This sentence, even if the Zen master said it in his heart, caused countless splashes and felt extremely shocking. If he told others, no one would believe it!
What level of player is LeBron James?The only person in the league who can compete with Sun Zhuo for the MVP of the regular season, supporting a team by himself!In the absence of any All-Star teammates, the lone hero who can fight the peak Pistons and the Celtics of the Big Three for seven games!

Even if you compare the current Kobe with James, you may not be able to say who is better.

However, Marvin Ayton feels that he is a stronger player than James!

This also means that Marvin Ayton is at least the top five players in the league!
The combination of two top five players in the league, everyone knows what that means!
"I hope we guessed wrong." The Zen master returned to his position, he dared not imagine anymore, Marvin Ayton's strength is too unfathomable, and his thoughts are also unpredictable, and the outside world is even more rumored He is Sun Zhuo's teacher.

On the field, LeBron James held the ball for too long, and was double-teamed in the end. There were only three seconds left in the attack time. He originally wanted to force himself, but suddenly remembered what Marvin Ayton said to him at the beginning of the game.

"You can give me the ball anytime and I can help you with everything."

"Ayton..."

Knowing that Ayton was defended at this time, James resolutely passed the ball to him instead of others. James has always been a rational player, whoever allocates the vacancy to whom, which shows his trust in Marvin Ayton.

The ball was passed to Marvin Ayton, and Lamar Odom was standing in front of Ayton. The Zen master saw this and thought: "The 24-second shot clock is up soon, he must be shooting, Lamar Odom has a height advantage , Marvin Ayton can't even think about scoring this goal again!"

However, unexpectedly, the moment Marvin Ayton got the ball, he made a change to the left and passed Odom in an instant!

"What? How is it possible?" Phil Jackson was stunned, and Kobe was also stunned. Marvin Ayton obviously looked like an old player in his 30s, but the breakthrough just now felt like lightning!

"How old is he!" Many people even suspected that Marvin Ayton had concealed his age.

After passing Odom, even with only the last second left, Marvin Ayton did not directly choose to shoot. He knew that Odom would definitely jump up and block the shot. So he did a shot fake.

beep!

After the referee whistled, Marvin Ayton shot the ball.

Swish!
2+1!

"It's terrible, this guy is terrible! He is really better than Sun in terms of shooting, and he is more mature!" Zen master's face was rarely sweating, and Marvin Ayton gave people the feeling that he was better than Sun. Zhuo is even more terrifying!Because Sun Zhuo's personality is more flamboyant, while Marvin Ayton is more low-key than ever, no one knows how much thoughts are hidden under that sickly face!

"Check his shooting percentage this season." Phil Jackson ordered the assistant coach.

After a while, the statistics were completed, and the assistant coach said: "Combining the data so far in this game, his two-point shooting percentage is 60%, and his three-point shooting percentage is 45.4%. Among them, the corner three-point shooting percentage is..."

"What happened to the shooting percentage of the corner three-pointer?" Seeing that the assistant coach's speech paused, Zen master looked curiously.

"He has never missed a corner shot, and his hit rate is [-] percent." The assistant coach also said in shock.

At this moment, the Cavaliers made a fast break, James scored a ball to Marvin Ayton in the corner, and Ayton scored another three-pointer from the corner!

If there are fans who have watched the battle of Qiyong in the previous life, seeing the Cavaliers now, they will feel that James and the Splash Brothers are playing together!Curry, Thompson, Durant, give James any one, and the Cavaliers will win the championship. What's more, the current Sun Zhuo is better than those three at his peak.

The Lakers never expected that the Cavaliers would play such a high-level game at the end of the regular season. Zen master didn't want the Lakers players to consume too much energy and physical fitness. After all, no matter how strong the Cavaliers are, they will not be their opponents for the Lakers in the next month. The headaches were the Celtics and the Magic, so the Lakers were quickly defeated, No. [-] in the Western Conference, and were severely beaten by the Cavaliers!

"We played so well today!" Seeing the Cavaliers finally end the game with a big score of 17 points, LeBron James is rarely excited this season.

But at this time, Phil Jackson, who has always been very postured and never dealt with a junior like James and Mike Brown, who has no honor, took the initiative to walk to the Cavaliers bench. Phil Jackson is tall and has an amiable smile, but he absolutely He was not someone who was easy to get close to, and coupled with his own championship honor, they felt that the air froze before he came near them.

"Mr. Mike Brown." Phil Jackson stretched out his hand to Mike Brown. The latter stretched out his hands excitedly and looked up at the Zen master. Meet in the finals."

Then, he smiled and said to James: "Congratulations, you can finally beat Sun this year."

Even Sun Zhuo's mentor, Phil Jackson, agrees so much with the current Cavaliers. James is even more excited. He is looking forward to the playoffs!

On April 2009, 4, the NBA regular season officially ended!The list of the first round of the Eastern and Western playoffs is also officially released!

West: The No. [-] Lakers against the Jazz, the Blazers against the Rockets, the Nuggets against the Hornets, and the Spurs against the Mavericks.

In the East, the No. 76 Magic played against the Detroit Pistons, the No. [-] Celtics played against the Bulls, the No. [-] Cavaliers played against the [-]ers, and the Eagles played against the Heat.

Magic and Pistons, Celtics and Bulls, Cavaliers and 76ers, there is basically no suspense in these three groups of duels, and once the Magic, Celtics, and Cavaliers advance to the next round, according to the rules, the Celtics As the winners of 2 and 7, they will meet the winners of 3 and 6, the Cavaliers, in the second round.

"If the Cavaliers play the Celtics..." Sun Zhuo was thinking about this question before the playoffs started.

Now, Sun Zhuo can be regarded as both a Magic player and a Cavaliers player. If the Cavaliers meet the Celtics first, Sun Zhuo will hope to join forces with James to destroy the Big Three.

The opponent of the Magic in the first round is the Pistons, which barely entered the playoffs. Kevin Durant has grown a lot this season, and Sun Zhuo also wants Westbrook and him to have more opportunities to practice, so in the first round of the series, Sun Zhuo is still not in a hurry to come back and is still in Cleveland.

Two days later, in the first round of the playoffs, the Magic played against the Detroit Pistons at home as No. [-] in the East, and Sun Zhuo was not in the team.

Allen Iverson, who newly joined the Pistons, said to Hamilton and others: "Although the Magic is the strongest team in the Eastern Conference, Sun has not come back yet, and he didn't even come to the scene today. I predict that he may miss the entire series." Sai, this is a great opportunity for us!"

Rasheed Wallace also said with a smile: "Haha, we can take this opportunity to give them a black-eight miracle, so that they will be eliminated in the first round!"

The Magic, Durant, Westbrook and others were very nervous.

"The playoffs turned out to be me to lead..." Durant never expected that Sun Zhuo would miss the playoffs. He had a phone call with Sun Zhuo yesterday, and Sun Zhuo said that he might return at any time. To lead the team to win.

"I can't let Sun look down on me. Without Sun, our Magic team can win as well!"

Durant, Westbrook, Turkoglu and others are all in the same mood, because Sun Zhuo is so radiant that the media and fans only pay attention to Sun Zhuo, and they are often ignored. This is what they prove themselves Chance.

Facts have proved that today's Durant + Westbrook is quite threatening. Even if the Pistons play without Sun Zhuo's magic, they still struggle.

If they hadn't done better in terms of belief and defense, the Pistons might not have won this game.

On the same day, Sun Zhuo played against the 76ers in the Cavaliers.

"Oh! Another dunk from LeBron!"

"Steal! Cavaliers fast break, Marvin Ayton made another three-pointer! He has made three three-pointers in a row!"

The combination of James + Sun Zhuo looked like an invincible existence in front of the weak 76ers. They defeated the 76ers in three quarters!

"It's terrible. Why are the Cavaliers so good?" Iguodala thought he could fight the Cavaliers for a few rounds, but judging from his performance in the first match, he had no chance of winning at all!
In the first game, the Cavaliers beat the 76ers by 27 points at home!
This game also scared the three old guys in Boston. They all knew that once they advanced, they would meet the Cavaliers!
"Guys, our opponents in the next round seem to be showing off to us. It would be great if the semifinals were Cavaliers vs. Magic." Ray Allen had a premonition that the next round of engagement would be very difficult.

"It's useless to say more, just fight. It's not like we haven't won against them." Paul Pierce still looked dismissive.

And Garnett thought in his heart: "The Cavaliers should solve the 76ers in four games. We can't be too slow. The next round of playoffs may be the most difficult battle of my career!"
