Chapter 244 The end of the regular season

Lin Ri's post-match interview naturally aroused some very big reactions.

Especially other prestigious schools in the NCAA, there are voices spreading, and they are dissatisfied with Lin Ri's views after the game.

The reason for their dissatisfaction is also very simple, because Arizona used Lin Ri's words last year to wipe out the super rookies John Wall, Favors, and Cousins.

He said that again this year!

This is forcing other schools to a dead end!

Doesn't he know that the current group of young people like challenges the most?

In addition, and more importantly, so far this year, the most outstanding guy is called Anthony Davis. This guy...is a fourth!

Among the young people in the fourth position, who doesn't regard Lin Ri as an idol?

As for retracing "Lin Ri's way back then", this is what every young man in position [-] hopes to do!

Anthony Davis is no exception!
This is also the reason why other prestigious schools are dissatisfied with Lin Ri's voice.

If nothing else, Arizona will have another "full harvest" year this summer!

But, is there any way, there is nothing unreasonable in Lin Ri's words, and there are no rules that say he can't talk about these things!

So they can only envy Arizona State University, there is such a "capable person" in the history of the school!
……

The NCAA finals are over, and the NBA regular season has also entered the final stage.

There are less than 3 games left for each team.

During this period of time, the Suns still occupy the first place in the league.

Seeing that the last three games have come, Cavaliers coach Mike Brown can only give up and continue to pursue victory, and start arranging staff rotations to make adequate preparations for the playoffs.

There is no way, the Suns have been rotated and rested before, but they have not lost. This makes the Suns even if they are exhausted with the Cavaliers to the end, there will be no major problems in terms of physical fitness.

But the Cavaliers are different. The injury situation is well controlled this season, but the physical fitness of the players cannot be maintained very well, especially "Shark" O'Neal, who is the most important signing before the start of this season. The purpose of the Cavaliers' introduction of him is to deal with the Celtics and Magic in the playoffs, but his physical fitness is really a problem. He must be given a rest at the end of the season!
Therefore, Mike Brown can only arrange a rotation.

He arranged this rotation, and the Cavaliers immediately lost another game.

In this game with a rotation schedule, O'Neal and LeBron James both rested again.

This made the Cavaliers have the previous problems again-without LeBron James on the court, the Cavaliers' offensive and defensive ends will really expose a lot of problems at once!

The game was lost, and the Cavaliers were once again "set on fire" after the game...

There are also many media that have made some bad predictions about how far the Cavaliers can go in the playoffs.

The fans of the Cavaliers have been comfortable for several months this season, but unexpectedly, in the most critical last few days, they became even more worried!

Being a Cavaliers fan is really... difficult!
Especially looking at the appearance of the Suns fans next door, they felt that the saying "same people have different lives" was so true!
You are also fans, why are you getting more and more comfortable!
The Cavaliers fans wanted to cry aggrievedly.

However, it is also true that in the last three games, the Suns fans were so relieved. Even though Lin Ri, Steve Nash and several main players took turns to rest, they still did not lose a game and ended April with a record of unbeaten victory!
Such a strong momentum really makes it difficult for Suns fans to feel comfortable!
In the end, the Suns' record this season was fixed at 67 wins and 15 losses!
Before the start of this season, I am afraid that no one would have thought that the Suns, which were at the bottom of the league last season, could achieve such a record this season!

Before the start of this season, Suns fans originally thought of only two goals: one is that the team's record should not be too ugly; the other is that they have been waiting for the champion Lang Linri for a year to show the potential to become the team's future core in the first season!
This is what they expected!
Just ask for it.

Even after knowing that Stoudemire was traded, all they thought was that Lin Ri could show his potential!
But who would have thought that their requirements were so low, but the final result surprised them so much!

Not only is the record of the Suns not ugly, but it is so good that they can't believe it!
As for Lin Ri's performance in his rookie season, it greatly exceeded their expectations. What they thought was that Lin Ri could show his potential to become the team's future in his rookie season. They don't need Lin Ri to play well this season. They only need Lin Ri to show his potential this season!
Unexpectedly, in his rookie season, Lin Ri directly played the league's top-tier inside performance, and directly became a league superstar!

As far as the abilities he has shown so far, as well as the various records he has broken, people directly think of O'Neal and Chamberlain who just debuted!
Even, in some aspects, his performance is even more amazing than these two guys!

At least, the first two failed to help the team become the number one in the league in their rookie season!

And Lin Ri did it...

The team has a good record and excellent personal data, which proves that Lin Ri's data is not obtained by "scoring points", but the data that is really obtained for winning.

The whole team can win when he gets this data, what else is there to say?
"For the Suns, this is definitely a fantastic season, and it is also a perfect season. They never expected that they would perform so well this season, but they did. Let us congratulate this team. They ushered in their glorious moment. Of course, more importantly, let us congratulate this team. They have harvested two outstanding young people. The future Suns are worth looking forward to!"

This is ESPN's evaluation of the Suns when it summed up the season. From this evaluation, it can be seen that the outside world is optimistic about the Suns.

And, judging by ESPN's season wrap-up of so many teams, the Suns are the only one they didn't ask a question about!

This team, at least in the eyes of various ESPN experts, is a team that is very good in the present and in the future, as well as in terms of team balance!
Of course, this is also normal. This is the first in the league. Isn't it a very good team?

……

The regular season has officially come to an end, the top eight in the East and West have also officially settled, and this season's playoff matchup has also been announced.

The four games in the East are: Cavaliers vs 76, Magic vs Bulls, Celtics vs Heat, Eagles vs Pacers.

Judging from the analysis of these four groups of confrontation by various experts, there is basically no suspense, and the upstream team beats the downstream team...

Although the 76ers made it to the playoffs again, the entire team did not have the momentum to challenge for the championship. Therefore, most experts believe that it is already a surprise enough for this team to win a game against the Cavaliers. As for winning the entire series, forget about it and go to bed early!

Compared with the 76ers advancing to the next round, these experts are more optimistic about LeBron James breaking up the 76ers after breaking up the Pistons!
There is not much suspense between the Magic and the Bulls. Although the Magic had some problems with their signings last summer, the strength of this team is not something the Bulls can compete with!

This is just a growing team!
With the configuration of the Bulls, he may have a place in this league, but it is definitely not now.

Core players, including Derrick Rose, still need further growth!

Moreover, it is reported that the Bulls are considering changing the head coach. They believe that the current head coach cannot help the team form a style that belongs to the Bulls!
Before the start of the playoffs, there was news that the head coach was not guaranteed. It is strange that this can win.

The same is true for the Celtics playing the Heat. Compared to the Celtics, the Heat really have nothing but Dwyane Wade. On the stage of the regular season, a Dwyane Wade may allow the team to win all the time. For example, at the end of the season, the Heat just hit a wave of 11 consecutive victories and climbed to the sixth position in the East.

But on the stage of the playoffs, it is not so simple for a Dwyane Wade to win the series.

Especially when the opponent is the Celtics!

It's harder for the Heat to win more than 2 innings...

This is what most experts think!

The only interesting and suspenseful series in the East is the game between the Eagles and the Pacers.

The Eagles have always had the title of "regular season team", while the Pacers have gradually grown up as a young team.

In terms of strength, these two teams should not be much different. In the final series, it is possible for anyone to win the final victory.

However, there is one thing that prevents fans from having more expectations for these two teams...Compared to the suspense these two teams can create, their own highlights are really too small!
The fans don't care who they win or lose!
This point is the most critical.

This is the general form of the East.

As for the West side, the Suns rank first, and their final opponent is the Hornets who managed to drag the team into the playoffs!
In the regular season, the Hornets were brutally abused by the Suns in two games. If there is no big surprise, it is estimated that the playoffs will not be much worse.

The second place in the West is the Mavericks!

They overtook the Lakers in April and became the final second in the Western Conference. Their opponent in the playoffs is the Spurs!

In the Western Conference playoffs, there was another "horse and bull war" again!
This caused many fans to talk about it.

The state of the Spurs this season is not very good, especially in the second half of the schedule, other teams have developed a chemical reaction, but this team is still in the process of running in, and until the end of the regular season, the chemical reaction is still very bad.

But there has always been a saying in the league that "the Spurs in the regular season are different from the Spurs in the playoffs!"

Regardless of the state of the Spurs during the regular season, as long as the playoffs start, no team is willing to meet the Spurs!

For this team, whether it is the weak defeating the strong, or the strong defeating the weak, it can be easily done!
Of course, this is not the reason why these two teams will be talked about.

You know, after all, the No. [-] in the West beats the No. [-] in the West. If this is left to other times, the probability of the No. [-] winning the No. [-] is very high. It is the kind of win that is basically no problem!
Just look at the attitudes of the experts in the matchup between the second and seventh teams in the Eastern Conference.

It should not be such a big suspense to be the second to play the seventh in the West.

Even if the seventh is the Spurs!

It shouldn't have caused so much discussion.

Another important reason is that the second is the Dallas Mavericks.

In the playoffs, you can always trust the Mavericks. No matter how he performs in the regular season, as long as he enters the playoffs, he can always have a thousand ways to pull his hips!
It is also because the second is the Mavericks, which has created a lot of highlights in this round of the series!
The third place in the West is the Lakers.

This team has survived the post-All-Star break on Kobe.

But when the time comes to April, even if he is as calm as Phil Jackson, he knows that it is time for Kobe to rest. This rest made the Lakers fall into the third place in the Western Conference.

Of course, it doesn't make much difference, they are not afraid of the Mavericks, and if the Spurs win in the end, they still have home court advantage!

In the absence of first, for the Lakers, there is not much difference between second or third.

The only thing that gives them some headaches is that they will meet the Grizzlies in the first round... This is currently the most "meat grinder" team. Meeting this team is really "undead but peel off"!
This team will pose a very big test to the Lakers' already problematic physical fitness.

It is also for this reason that in this round of the series, the biggest doubt of the experts is "how quickly the Lakers can solve the Grizzlies!"

Yes, in the eyes of these experts, it shouldn't be a big problem for the Lakers to win the Grizzlies.

The only question is how much work it will be!

If too much energy is wasted on the Grizzlies, it will have a very big impact on their subsequent series!

The fourth in the West is the Nuggets!

The Nuggets, which didn't start well this season, became the top four teams in the Western Conference at the last moment, which gave them home court advantage in the first round.

Like the Lakers, for the Nuggets, who reached the Western Conference finals last season, how to make good use of this home court advantage and defeat the fifth-ranked Jazz will determine how much they can survive against the Suns in the next round!

After all, if too much time is wasted on the Jazz, it will be difficult for them to keep up with the fast break rhythm of the Suns!
