Chapter 227 The Rookie Season
Relying on the strategy of crazy three-point shooting, the Philadelphia team used a peculiar tactic to win in danger and defend the home court with difficulty, but no one thought that this turned out to be their last victory of the season.

In G4, coach Stan Van Gundy still chose to stay the same and stick to his own style of play, while the Philadelphia team felt very sluggish in their three-pointers. Many open three-pointers failed to hit. Coach Cheeks also insisted Hurricane three-pointer strategy, until the end of the game, the Philadelphia team lost by a big score.

After returning to Orlando, the Magic went all out and didn't give Philadelphia another chance. In this way, 1-4, Philadelphia stopped the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, and Channing also ended his rookie season early.

"In addition to relying on the explosive three-pointer to win the next game, the Philadelphia team was completely suppressed by the Magic's inside line. They suffered enough losses from the deformed lineup and lacked a center of sufficient size, allowing Warcraft to play dominant in the basket. Power, whether double-teamed or counter-attacked, Philly couldn't offset the gap in the paint, and the series was over."

"Basketball Pioneer" used a long article to summarize the Philadelphia team's playoff journey.

"In addition to the weakness inside, the Philadelphia team still has many problems. For example, the immature main lineup, not enough time to run in, basically zero experience in the playoffs, and their head star Channing is also a first-year rookie. Playing in the playoffs for the first time, he averaged 5 points, 20.2 rebounds and 6.6 assists in 3.2 games. Although compared with the regular season data, it has declined overall, but for the rookie who led the team to the playoffs for the first time As far as it goes, it’s pretty good.”

Sina NBA also released news, comparing the performance of Chinese players in the playoffs:

"As of now, among the Chinese players who have logged in, including those who have logged into the NBA, there are four players who have experience in the playoffs, Daba, Yao Ming and Chan Ning. Among them, Chan Ning and Yao Ming played as the main players. Let us now Take a look at the playoff performance of these guys:"

"Daba played in the NBA for 3 seasons, playing for the Nuggets, Spurs, and Raptors respectively. He won the championship with the Spurs in the 02-03 season. Although Daba did not play in the playoffs, he is the only Chinese player to win the NBA championship ring. The players are really enviable."

“大郅打了3次季后赛，00-01赛季在独行侠，打了5场，场均得到2分0.4篮板。01-02赛季在独行侠打了8场，场均得到2.5分1篮板。03-04赛季在热火打了3场，没有得分和篮板入账，可以说，大致在季后赛是一个不错的轮换球员。”

“大姚截至目前在NBA效力了6个赛季，一共3次打进季后赛。第一次打季后赛是在03-04赛季，火箭首轮打了5场被淘汰，姚明场均上场37分钟，得到15分7.4篮板1.8助攻1.4盖帽。第二次打季后赛是04-05赛季，打了7场，场均上场31.6分钟，得到21.4分7.7篮板2.71次盖帽。第三次打季后赛是在06-07赛季，打了7场，场均上场37.1分钟，得到恐怖的25.1分10.3篮板。”

"Whether it is scoring, rebounding, playing time, or shooting percentage, Yao Ming is well-deserved as the number one domestic player, and he is also the number one star of the Rockets. After Yao Ming was absent this season due to injury, the Rockets entered the playoffs. However, they were eliminated by the Jazz 2-4 in the first round. Tracy McGrady scored 40+ points in the first round and was still unable to escape the defeat. What is even more regrettable is that Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady were seriously injured one after another. Will the Rockets just stop there? What about rebuilding? We're concerned about Yao Ming's future with the Rockets."

"Chan Ning, as the fourth Chinese player to reach the playoffs in the NBA, is also his rookie season this year, which also created a record of making the playoffs in the rookie season that Yao Ming has never done. Five games Among them, Channing averaged 5 points, 20.2 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game, and played very well, even better than Yao Ming in his rookie season."

“而姚明第一次进入季后赛是在03-04赛季，也就是进入联盟的第二年。常规赛中，大姚场均可以得到17.5分9篮板1.9次盖帽；到了季后赛，他的数据略有下降，场均15分7.4篮板1.4盖帽。”

"From this point of view, there are still many similarities between Channing and Yao Ming. For example, both of them encountered strong opponents when they first entered the playoffs. In the first round of the playoffs in 04, they lost to the mighty Lakers with F4; moreover, compared with the regular season data, both of them have declined in all aspects of the playoff data.”

"However, judging from Yao Ming's experience in the playoffs, it took him three years to slowly reach his peak. For Channing, who has just joined the NBA in his first year, we might as well hold this expectation and wait patiently. his growth."

"The same is true for the UAE. Although they failed to make the playoffs, we believe that the NBA journey of the UAE and Channing has just begun."

He was eliminated in the first round. Coach Cheeks thought it was due to the shortcomings of the team and the lack of experience of the players. After a brief meeting to summarize the season, Cheeks announced the start of the offseason. Philadelphia players They disbanded on the spot and began to enjoy the rare vacation.

Iguodala and Reggie Evans met to go fishing, and immediately received enthusiastic responses from the players, but Channing was not very interested in sea fishing. He stayed in the training hall and continued to hone his personal skills. offensive technique.

In the five games against the Magic in the first round, except for the winning one, Channing’s shooting percentage was not ideal, and compared with the regular season, it dropped significantly. On the one hand, the playoffs had a strong defense, a fast pace, and a lot of physical exertion. , On the other hand, it also exposed Channing's weaknesses of unstable shooting and insufficient offensive ability. This is a common problem for rookie stars. Several layers of skin are impossible to achieve.

Stronger than James, who has been sluggish in the Cavaliers in the early stage of his career, and has failed in the playoffs many times, but the No.1 crown in the future that is close at hand is always out of reach; stronger than Kobe, who has been belittled since leaving O'Neal, he is Growing up amid doubts, he proved himself; stronger than Jordan, he won the championship only in the seventh season of his career.

In the star-studded NBA, winning the championship is really not an easy task. For Channing, he is just on the road that his predecessors have walked.

Three-pointers with the ball, back-up turnaround jumpers, and step-back shots, Channing practiced over and over again. If he failed to complete the task of reaching the Eastern Conference Finals, he would not be able to get any rewards from the system. The rare four-star card Nothing, Channing can only rely on himself.
