With the "bottom three" having answers, the 2008-09 season is back on track.

More people turned their attention back to the powerful men.

In the media, various experts have also begun to predict the eight groups of matchups in the first round of the playoffs.

In the opinion of these experts, the suspense of the four groups of matchups in the first round of the Eastern Conference is not very high.

The first-place Cavaliers could be said to have swept the entire team in the 2008-09 season, looking like a "new king ascending the throne." They met the completely rotten Detroit Pistons in the first round.

The Pistons were once the victims of LeBron James.

Of course, it was also LeBron James’ first whetstone.

Dubbed by many media as the "Battle of the Little Emperor's Awakening," LeBron James's opponent is the Pistons.

At the beginning of last year's season, Pistons general manager Dumars made what he thought was a great move - he sent Chauncey Billups to Denver in exchange for Allen Iverson.

He called the move a deal that "saved the Detroit box office."

But he ignored the friendship between the "Four Pistons"...

Allen Iverson's joining was boycotted, which made Allen Iverson a "wrong answer" here.

It was also this transaction that completely brought down the once mighty Detroit.

This season, the Pistons, who were once ranked ninth or tenth in the Eastern Conference, made it to the playoffs with their winning streak at the end of the season.

But the quality of the winning streak at the end of this year's season is really not good enough.

So no expert thinks that the Pistons will get back on track because of this winning streak.

Even the "Cleveland Honest Daily" directly characterized this game: After this series, the powerful Detroit Pistons will become history completely, and the team that will dominate the Eastern Conference in their place will become the Cleveland Cavaliers, and LeBron James will usher in a new era.

Belongs to his heyday!

The second place Celtics met the Pacers, and there was no suspense in this matchup. When a new team like the Pacers faced the veteran Celtics, no one thought they could create a miracle, or even...

No one thought they could make it to Game 6.

Paul Pierce: "Five games max, we'll beat them!"

For the "Big Three", their goal this year is only to defend their title.

After all, there is not much time left for the "old guys".

The third-place Magic team met the Chicago Bulls.

The collision between the No. 1 pick in 2004 and the No. 1 pick in 2008 is a highlight.

However, although the Bulls still have good quality main players such as Noah and Luer Deng, in the eyes of experts, Derrick Rose still needs time to adapt to the intensity of the playoffs, which makes the Bulls' strength

It will not be stronger than the regular season, but it will most likely become weaker.

So there is basically no suspense in this round of duel.

There is one suspense when the fourth-placed Eagles beat the fifth-placed Heat. It is also the only suspense. That is, the team strength of the Eagles is stronger, or the personal ability of Dwyane Wade is more powerful. Which of these two forces is stronger?

Being able to gain the upper hand will determine which team will ultimately advance to the second round.

This is a four-group matchup in the Eastern Conference...there is really no suspense to say.

Compared to the east, the west has a lot to talk about.

For example, the Mavericks, ranked third in the regular season, met the Spurs, ranked fourth.

The "cow-horse battle" was once again staged in the playoffs.

For these two teams, no one can use their regular season records to measure their strength. They are two teams whose performances after entering the playoffs are completely different from those in the regular season.

To put it simply...the Mavericks will start to get sick once they enter the playoffs, while the Spurs will show amazing resilience once they enter the playoffs.

And Nowitzki is one of the few power forwards in the league who can be compared with Tim Duncan. Their encounter also gives this game one more reason to watch.

In addition, there is another set of duels that are also watched by many fans, that is, the duel between the fourth-place Trail Blazers and the fifth-place Rockets.

Adelman finally found the most correct use of Yao Ming this season, which is to control time and allow Yao Ming to play more efficiently at a more reasonable time.

Facts have proved that his theory is extremely successful.

Yao Ming, whose average playing time per game hit a season low in the past four years, contributed 19.7 points and 9.9 rebounds in 33.6 minutes, shooting 54.6% from the field, which is also a new high in the past four years.

Yao Ming, who no longer had to worry too much about his physical fitness on the court, also displayed extremely efficient dominance in the penalty area.

All the players who played against Yao Ming this season, except for O'Neal, were basically defeated by him.

Including Dwight Howard, who has been incredible this season, was easily suppressed.

Rockets reporter Fagan called this season "Yao Ming's best year."

This is his outstanding performance, which made many Rockets fans see their hope of breaking through the first round of the playoffs!

If successful, it would be the first time since 2000 that the Rockets...

Speaking of which, many experts consider this series between the Trail Blazers and Rockets to be the most likely matchup to be defeated...

All in all, the conversation was lively and the NBA is back to how it should have been before the playoffs.

Super newcomer the sun seems to have been forgotten in all these discussions... which is strange!

In just two days, the latest issue of "Sports Illustrated" caused many fans to focus their attention on The Sun again.

He is on the cover of this issue of Sports Illustrated.

The photo chosen by Sports Illustrated shows him picking up the ball and jumping high, with his hands making a slashing motion. This action can easily remind people of his explosive dunk.

This reminds me of his violent scene when he dunked on Tyler Hansbrough in the NCAA Finals.

Even thinking about that scene now makes people feel excited.

It’s really so exciting!

Of course, it's not just the cover poster that has attracted so many fans' attention.

"Sports Illustrated" not only obtained the right to shoot Lin Ri's first poster after the NCAA finals, but also obtained the right to interview Lin Ri for the first time after the NCAA finals.

For this hard-won opportunity, "Sports Illustrated" did not waste it. It asked a lot of questions and talked about everything from the past to this year's NCAA. It can be said that the conversation was very detailed.

Therefore, this exclusive interview attracted many fans who are interested in Lin Ri.

It is worth mentioning that in this exclusive interview, Lin Ri mentioned the enthusiastic Phoenix fans, which directly made Phoenix people climax!

Look!

have a look!

the sun says we are enthusiastic!

Did you see that he was mentioned in a high-traffic magazine like Sports Illustrated? What does this mean? It means he likes Phoenix!

the sun already wants to come to the Suns!

Um……

The logic of thinking is so hard!

Steve Kerr was very excited after reading this report and said bluntly in front of the media: "The Sun has felt the importance we attach to him. He knows that Phoenix is ​​waiting for his arrival!"

The media in Phoenix even announced his official position in the harem with the title "My Heart Belongs? The Sun: I Like Passionate Phoenix"!

It's just that they are so happy that fans of other teams are a little unhappy.

Especially fans of the Grizzlies and Thunder. After all, their home teams have the possibility of getting the No. 1 pick, and the probability is not small compared to other teams.

Under such circumstances, why do you say that the sun belongs to you?

Um?

Isn’t it just passion?

Who hasn’t got some enthusiasm yet?

Not to be outdone, Grizzlies fans and Thunder fans took action!

"This is the Mississippi River port next to Memphis, the sun, look here, there are fans who like you!"

At the pier of the Mississippi River Port, a man was leading more than 200 people, holding posters about Lin Ri and support banners, and desperately waving these support items in their hands towards the photographer who took a video of them.

"The sun, look here, Oklahoma is ready to welcome you!"

On the outskirts of Oklahoma City, a man dressed as a wealthy man from Dubai held a small portable camera and filmed himself first. After he finished speaking, he pointed the camera at the sky. At this time, a plane slowly flew over the sky.

The plane carried a huge banner on its tail, with the words clearly visible: the sun, Oklahoma will be your kingdom!

…

These captured videos were posted on Twitter by this group of fans from Memphis and the Thunder, and they all followed Lin Ri’s Twitter, which they found through unremitting efforts.

In just one day, "How to prove your passion for him to the sun" became a real-time hot topic on Twitter.

This shows the number of fans who posted the video on Twitter.

Chris even called Lin Ri as soon as possible the next day: "Sun, go check your Twitter! I believe it has been blown up now. You don't even know what these fans are doing."

How crazy!”
