Chapter 583 Preparing for the Playoffs

Philadelphia is also not polite here, and directly fired at full power.

After the Hawks struggled for two quarters, the 76ers finally defeated the Atlanta Hawks by 32 points.

In the next game, the Philadelphia 76ers began to rest Embiid and Li Feng most of the time.

After several team players saw the potential of the Philadelphia 76ers, they renewed their contracts with the team one after another, but the renewals were all a few months.

Now the Philadelphia 76ers are starting to plan how to play next season.

Regardless of whether they can advance to the first round of this season, this season is already up!
In the last 20 games of the regular season, although they lost many games, it also played a certain role in the team's training.

Kuzma averaged 17.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists in recent games.

Simmons has stabilized emotionally at this time, and he is actively undergoing rehabilitation training.

It has to be said that Simmons' injury was unexpected for the team.

Fortunately, they will not meet the Indiana Pacers in the first round of the playoffs.

Although this team is now very outstanding scoring ability.But some players do move a lot!

The head coach of the Pacers also adopted an attitude of turning a blind eye, just like Coach Kerr of the Golden State Warriors.

Although there is no comparison between Green and Stephenson, the roles played by the two are similar.

Embiid: "You performed very well in training today! I guess after you go back, you will be able to surpass Kuzma in the playoffs immediately!"

Simmons: "No, the training I do now is all barrier-free. The level of competition in the regular season is the same. When it comes to the difficulty of the playoffs, I don't think it will be small.

Although we haven't made the playoffs for many seasons, it must still be difficult. "

Embiid heard this, but didn't speak, and continued to practice spot jumpers.

Neither he nor Simmons has experienced the playoffs, but both have seen the intensity of the playoffs.

After their Philadelphia 76ers entered the Eastern Conference playoffs this season, the team as a whole is actually mixed.

The good news is that the team finally broke the so-called curse that netizens said and entered the playoffs this season.

The worry is that they haven't made it to the playoffs for so many years, and it can be said that they have very little experience.

Simmons' personal scoring ability is very good, but at this time he was injured and unable to play.

On the other hand, within the team, there are more young players, and they can be said to have played well in the regular season.

But in the playoffs, there may be a complete misfire.

The final standings of the regular season came out yesterday.

The West has changed a lot this year. The final ranking of the regular season this season is the Lakers, Spurs, Warriors, Clippers, Jazz, Trail Blazers, Thunder and Pelicans!

The winning percentages of several teams are very close!I believe that the first round of competition will be particularly intense in a few days!
The final top eight in the regular season in the East are the Raptors, Bucks, Heat, Pacers, Wizards, 76ers, Hornets and Cavaliers.

There is still a big difference between this ranking and Li Feng's previous life.

The Toronto Raptors are still the league's No. [-] team in winning percentage, while the Bucks, ranked second in the Eastern Conference, are much worse than the Raptors in terms of winning percentage.

There are four teams in the East with a big difference in winning percentage!

Soon Li Feng also came here, he had a brief exchange with Simmons, and then the three began to train silently for two hours.

Simmons was the first to start sweating profusely, his injury still not healed.

After a long time, physical fitness will be affected. After not seeing him for a while, Simmons found that Li Feng's muscle thickness was different from before.

In the past few seasons, the teams that Li Feng has played have all won championships.

It is impossible for the players on the Philadelphia 76ers this season to say that they don't want to.

Can they win the O'Brien Cup this season?

Li Feng: "Don't worry, the team has me and Embiid. Basically, there will be no big mistakes when scoring at the basket and guards!"

After chatting with Simmons for a few words, Li Feng immediately said this to him after learning that his thoughts were somewhat pessimistic.

Unlike the conversation with Embiid just now, Simmons nodded.

After a brief chat with Li Feng and his good brother Embiid, Simmons limped to pick up his sports bag and said goodbye to them both.

On the morning of the third day, in the locker room of the Philadelphia 76ers, Brown and several assistant coaches quickly sent the players information about the Miami Heat that they had collected in the past few days.

Brown: "The day the regular season ended, I sent you the main message from the Heat.

This 'game' will be very interesting, the overall strength of the opposite side, basically we all have it.

And vice versa.In the playoffs, there are situations of crushing and power games.

The audience loves to watch the suspense and ups and downs of the game, and we only hope that the game will end early and the victory will be clear.In the end, we are the ones who lead and win the game~”

The Philadelphia 76ers players at the scene laughed, including Simmons who came here on crutches today.

Brown: "Who didn't we fear in the regular season?!

The current strength of the Los Angeles Lakers?The San Antonio Spurs in Popovich's hands, and the Golden State Warriors who have won the championship.

We've let them lose in the regular season.

But the very first thing is, we want to defeat all our opponents in the East!
I have to say, as a spectator, I am also very optimistic about the Toronto Raptors!
This team is the ideal team in the hearts of many team coaches now!Both offensive and defensive, with a relaxed rhythm, there are people under the basket, and there are very good point guards outside.

And today we put the Raptors aside. "

Speaking, Brown wrote the word "Heat" on the whiteboard with a black oil-based pen.

Brown: "This team has achieved very good and brilliant results in the past few years!
Now they are also operating very well, and they are doing a good job on the defensive end. This is something we must pay special attention to.

Because the opponent has basically achieved a balance of offense and defense.

We must also be careful about the opponent's steady style of play, especially Wade has not retired this season, and his personal ability is still at the superstar level.

Hassan's defense at the basket is still very sharp, but Embiid! "

Embiid: "Coach, tell me, I remember it"

Brown: "Whiteside is a player with strong explosiveness and control around the basket, but his movement speed is slow, and we can use this to slow down his rhythm.

Or let him feel all kinds of discomfort, let him play out of the 'comfort zone', so that he can be effectively restrained!
Do you still need Embiid to understand this? "

Brown then analyzed Richardson, Adebayor, Dragic and Winslow.

These players are playing quite well in the Heat now!
Finally, Brown mentioned Wade. The atmosphere in the locker room was already good at this time, and the players chatted with each other about the playoffs.

After the team's head coach analyzed the main players of the Miami Heat one by one, the team's confidence seemed to be gradually returning.

Although we know that the intensity of the playoffs will be very high, the players of the two teams can be said to know the bottom line.

There is nothing to be afraid of, it is not certain who will win.

But when they heard the name Wade, everyone's hearts sank, and an indescribable feeling surged up.

If Wade retires early this season, the Miami Heat still have a dozen, but his current state has cast a shadow over the self-confidence that has finally appeared just now.

Brown: "Li Feng, did you say that in today's league games, as long as you score enough and fast enough, you can win the game quickly?"

Li Feng: "Yes, this is a popular trend, although it makes the beauty of live games much less.

But it is very effective, for winning the game. "

Brown snapped his fingers directly, expressing that he paused Li Feng's statement: "Have you heard what Li Feng said, everyone?"

The conversation between the two was not loud, and they spoke relatively quickly. The players on the scene were a little confused.

Brown: "No matter how strong the opponent is, we only need to follow fast, efficient and almost uninterrupted scoring on the field, basically the hope of winning the game will increase a lot!
I know it sounds easy, but some players thought, when we get on the court it's a whole other game.Thinking and doing, there are always two situations~”

Many players on the scene immediately smiled knowingly.

Apparently Brown said some players were upset.

Brown: "And what do we need to do at this point?
It's your idea of ​​winning, and the usual training of some basic skills. This time is to test your ability to see your basic skills and temporary performance!
Your temporary status doesn't mean anything, what we want is that your abilities are online throughout the game.clear?
Well, let’s talk about what the Heat’s substitute players need to pay attention to.”

Originally, these players thought that the head coach didn't let them train for a while today, so it would be nice to listen to it here.

But later I found out that the physical aspect was considered a holiday, but the mental aspect was not relaxed.

For a team like the Heat, the amount of information is huge!

Different from the previous life, the magic operator Riley is still coaching the Heat!
If the Philadelphia 76ers want to advance to the second round of the game, they must find a way to beat the current Miami Heat.

Although they didn't meet the Bucks, opponents like the Raptors met in the first round.

But this season, the third-ranked Heat team in the Eastern Conference is also very strong!

Riley: "To be honest, I have some regrets that I met the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round of the Eastern Conference.

You know that Li Feng is a player who is not easy to mess with. According to the statement posted on the Internet that Li Feng is the team's koi.

If we had enough salary last season, the Heat would win the championship this season! "

Reporter: "So now Li Feng is your team's opponent, which one of you will win the championship in the end?"

Riley: "Maybe none of us can win. The final championship belongs to a certain team in the East. You must know that Jeremy Lin is now in the Raptors.

So the possibility of winning the Eastern Conference this season has increased significantly!And maybe the Raptors have a 50% chance of winning the title~”

A simple joke with the media, Riley, with gray temples, seems to be in a very good mood today.

After finishing the conversation with the reporter, Riley immediately walked towards his team's locker room.

At this time, the Philadelphia 76ers have been warming up for half an hour in their home stadium of the Heat, and Riley has also expressed his thoughts this season.

That is next season he intends to retire with Wade.

And this season, the two plan to join forces again!
Then the two teams made a certain degree of adjustment, and the fans began to take seats.

The heat of the scene is gradually heating up, and the big screen shows the scene of Wade, Dragon King and Little Emperor teaming up many years ago!
Although today's Heat has joined many ruthless characters such as Ray Allen and Batman in addition to the Big Three, the current Heat team has also reached a new height wonderfully!
Players from the two teams played, and it didn't take long for the starters from both sides tonight to stand up on the field!
The players on the Heat's side are Hassan, Johnson, Winslow, Dragic and Richardson.

The starters for the Philadelphia 76ers are Embiid, Saric, Holmes, Bayless and Li Feng in order!
Now the topic changes every day, and I start to analyze how far Li Feng and the team will go in the playoffs.

Those who said that they would never make it to the playoffs either chose to shut up or started to support Li Feng instead.

Several major mainstream media did not dare to say with certainty that the Philadelphia 76ers would be eliminated in the first round.

What if someone advances again?Don't hit the face too loudly.
Wade miraculously did not appear in the starting lineup, and Kuzma, who was not low, was also sitting on the bench at this time.

Li Feng has never entered the fourth level of [Strange Land], because this season has reached a critical moment.

If there is any more trouble in the system at this time, Li Feng can just give up this season
The current Li Feng is in the best form in several seasons!

[Strange place] After passing the third level, Li Feng's all attributes will increase by 3%!

At this time, the referee walked over slowly, and soon the basketball was thrown into the air by him.

Immediately Whiteside gets the basketball!Bayless and Li Feng ran in the same direction in a hurry!

Dragic hurriedly pretended to catch the ball, but at this time the basketball had already reached Richardson.

Holmes wanted to defend, but it was too late.The latter got up and hit a three-pointer!
The fans at the scene immediately burst into cheers like a tsunami!Several Philadelphia 76ers players at the scene suddenly felt dizzy.

The volume is too loud!Li Feng also saw the reactions of his teammates.

This is because there are not many playoff games all year round, and the scene tonight is extraordinarily lively.
It took a while for the Philadelphia players to get used to it. Holmes shook his head at this moment, then found Li Feng's position, and passed the ball.

Li Feng: "Stay focused."

Holmes: "What? I, I can't hear"

Li Feng: "I said! Don't pay attention to the shouts of the fans! Stay focused! The voice in your ears will be quieter!"

Holmes put his ear to Li Feng's mouth and immediately raised his head, nodding to Li Feng.

Then Li Feng said this to Saric again, and Saric nodded politely. He knew this, but he didn't say it.

Bayless immediately made a gesture to tell his teammates to be careful!

Looking at the state of the Heat, it looks like they have been in high-end games all year round, very sophisticated!

Li Feng crossed the half with the ball and was directly blocked by Dragic!

But Li Feng was not in a hurry, and when he almost returned to the field, he immediately took a big step and passed the players around him!
