Reboot McGrady

Chapter 313 Entering the Playoffs

"No injuries, safe and sound to enter the playoffs, already very good, you are still thinking about the ranking." McGrady complained to George Karl angrily, "You didn't even train the beast inside."

"This, this..." George Karl drank a glass of whiskey, then lit his cigar, "What brand is your cigar? The taste is very unique."

"It's homemade. I like to give you some. I still have two boxes in the car. You can get them with me later."

McGrady is at George Karl's villa, and the two are talking about the upcoming playoffs.

This season, the Warriors failed to achieve the expected results, mainly due to injuries.The inside and outside players were frequently injured, including Tracy McGrady. There are still 10 games left in the season, and he only played 62 games.Even if they are all gone, they will only play 72 games, which is not a perfect season.

You know, McGrady played at least 77 games in the first three seasons.

First, the inside players were injured, then the outside players followed, and finally the substitute players, unwilling to be lonely.Including Sabonis, Mourning, and Gary Payton, the three veterans have been injured for a period of time.

As the playoffs approached, I finally adjusted.The health of the players has been maintained quite well.Therefore, George Karl had more thoughts, and suddenly wanted to sprint to the upper half.

If the Warriors achieve a complete victory record in the last 10 games and reach the top four, there is a certain possibility. Of course, it will be more difficult to wait for the Lakers and Kings to fall behind.

Seeing McGrady's decisive attitude, George Karl's thoughts slowly dissipated. At the last moment, he should be safe and not overdo it.

"Now the media is touting that as long as we enter the playoffs, it will be a great success. Don't think too much, just play the best state. Next season will be the season we strive for."

McGrady said slowly, "I hope that by the next year at the latest, I can bring the Warriors a Western Conference championship. Well, actually, what I want is a championship. If you can't do it with the team, then I can only say Western Conference champions."

"I'm just short of breath. What am I afraid of? This season, we have tempered the team. Didn't you see that the guys on the inside are getting better and better?" George Karl retorted, "Al Harrington and Jefferson, these two are almost like beasts, I like them. I believe they will be even better next season. Mourning and Sabonis will stay on the team next year. After a season of running-in, who did we lose to?"

In terms of staffing, he did not lose to many teams.But the height is obviously insufficient, the weakness is obvious, and the scoring ability is relatively limited. The focus is on the continuous rotation of personnel.

Fortunately, there are not many strong centers in the West, and Stoudemire is currently the most popular.On the contrary, the East has O'Neal, Yao Ming, Tyson Chandler and others, and the inside lines are very competitive.

"It's enough to have this level of confidence. I'm afraid you won't even dare to think about it." McGrady smiled. "This season, we will do our best. Next season, we will look forward to the results."

The current No. 2 record in the league is still the Dallas Mavericks, running wildly all the way, and the league looks sideways. No.[-] is the Phoenix Suns, playing fast and almost invincible.

As for the Warriors, in the seventh, eighth, and ninth positions, they went in and out, went further, fell down, and struggled.

With the end of the season, the Warriors have been stable in the eighth position in the Eastern Conference.Can't go any further, but won't fall out of the playoff lineup either.

Compared with the constant changes in the last few positions in the East, the playoff teams in the West are relatively stable.

In the 2004-05 regular season, all games are over.

With a record of 45 wins and 37 losses, the Warriors entered the playoffs on the last train.Last season, the Warriors won only 27 games and lost 55, making them one of the league's leading players.

This season, turn over to be the master and directly enter the playoffs.Such a change is not insignificant.Last season, the Cavaliers, who won the No. 10 pick, had the blessing of James, as well as the support of Big Z, Boozer and others, but only won [-] more games.

McGrady won the Warriors, won 18 more games, and led the team to the playoffs.

"The most important thing is that the Warriors' injuries this season are very serious. Without Tracy, they are still a weak team."

"It can be seen that Tracy's improvement of the Warriors is all-round, whether it is offense or defense. Have you seen it? Tracy's defensive efficiency ranks first in the league."

"Tracey fulfilled his promise before the season. At that time, he said that he would lead the team into the playoffs." Mike Breen smiled. "In the middle of the season, the Warriors suffered extensive injuries. I thought they couldn't do it. Unexpectedly, Tracy still pulled the team out of the quagmire, amazing!"

Immediately afterwards, McGrady's calls for MVP became higher and higher.

McGrady seems very indifferent personally, "I have won two MVPs, but I pay more attention to leading the team to victory. Compared with personal honors, I hope for the championship."

The team's record is not good, and it is impossible to give him the MVP of the regular season. It is not the best record, or a huge improvement compared to the previous season, otherwise he cannot get the MVP.

"To put it bluntly, Mr. David Stern just wanted to give it, but he didn't dare to give it!" McGrady joked with Arne Traum. The truth is, McGrady can't get the MVP, and the team's record is not good. "However, other honors can be won."

"Our layout so early should have a good effect."

This season, McGrady has already bagged the honor of being the scoring champion and scoring as high as 36 points, which is extremely scary.Kobe ranked second. In other seasons, he could basically win the scoring title, averaging more than 35 points per game, reaching 35.4 points.

"The best lineup should be fine, it mainly depends on the best defensive player." Arne Traum is good at dancing, and has been advocating defensive ability to McGrady this season.

The response is also good, but the season has just ended, and the honors have not yet been released.

The Mavericks, ranked first in the regular season, are already looking forward to their opponents in the first round of the playoffs.

"Facing Tracy will be very difficult, but the overall strength of our team exceeds that of the Warriors. This is beyond doubt. Therefore, we will have the last laugh." Nowitzki rarely showed confidence.

In the past few years, the Mavericks' record has been rising steadily. He is very hopeful to win the regular season MVP, and his blood surges for a while. He especially wants to express his toughness in front of the media, "I will beat Tracy and enter the second round."

Jason Terry also came out and said, "I have worked with Tracy. He is a very good player, but he is just a player, not a god. They are a brand new team. We will beat the Warriors."

"Fucking shit!" Harrington yelled when he saw the news report, "Boss, I've decided, let me defend Nowitzki alone."

"You want to be kicked in the crotch?" McGrady stared at Al Harrington like an idiot.
