After a few days of rest, the playoffs are coming soon. The first round of the playoffs are as follows:

First of all, the East.

First in the East, the Pacers vs. Eighth Hawks;

The second Heat in the East vs. The seventh Hornets in the East;

The Third Raptors in the Eastern Conference vs. The Sixth Nets in the Eastern Conference;

The fourth Bulls in the Eastern Conference vs. the fifth Wizards in the Eastern Conference.

This side of the west.

The No. 1 Trail Blazers in the West vs. The Eighth Lakers in the West;

The second Spurs in the West vs. The seventh Grizzlies in the West;

The third Thunder in the West vs. The Sixth Warriors in the West;

The fourth Western Clippers play against the fifth Western Mosaics.

Now it seems that there is basically no big possibility in these matches. If possible, it is the match between the Spurs and the Grizzlies and the Clippers and the Mosaics. The chances of getting a lower-couple are slightly greater.

The previous group match was because the Grizzlies had completed the Black Eight against the Spurs. Although the regular season record of the two sides was too different this year, when the outside world looked at this group of matches, they could not help but have some fantasy elements in it.

As for the latter group of matches, one is that the two sides have a relatively close regular season record difference, and the other is that the outside world still has great expectations for this new "ok" combination of mosaics.

Ask yourself, although Howard is beaten to pieces every time he meets Wang Zelin this season, that is limited to when the opponent is Wang Zelin.

Didn't you see that when Howard faces other players, the dominance of the basket may not be as good as the Magic in the previous few years, but people have to admit that he is still one of the best big men in the league.

This season, Howard played all 71 games during his time with a mosaic, with an average playing time of 33.7 minutes, and still maintains a contribution of 18 12 1.8 1.8.

In terms of offense, Howard, who averages 18 points per game, is definitely in the top ten among the centers of 30 teams in the league, that is, the upper level.

Except for the top players such as Love, Wang Zelin, Griffin, Aldridge, etc., who averaged more than 20 points per game, Howard is not inferior to anyone in scoring.

As for the defensive end, although he no longer has the terrifying style of being the best defensive player for three consecutive times in the Magic period, his remaining power remains.

This season, in a direct competition with major defensive players on defensive efficiency, in recent days, Howard still often appears in the media and fans' mouths.

Although Player of the Year must have nothing to do with Howard, as anyone with a discerning eye can see that there are many excellent big men this year who do better than Howard on the defensive end.

For example, Wang Zelin and Jokin Noah, the two favorites of the best defensive players this year.

For example, Roy Hibert, the main center of the Eastern Conference First Pacers, Jordan Jr., and Optimus Prime Ibaka, the inside player of the Thunder, are all inside players with outstanding defensive efficiency this year.

But no matter what, Howard was once the No. 1 center in the league!

Before the decline is completely and the dives, the outside world will still give you some face.

In addition, there is another super scorer in the Mosaic team that shows a rising momentum, so it's no wonder the outside world is so optimistic about the Morden combination.

To be honest, even Wang Zelin himself is quite optimistic about mosaics.

Because of his arrival, the development history of the NBA has become different from the one he remembers.

In my memory, the Clippers' first round opponent was the Warriors, while the Mosaics' first round opponent was the Trail Blazers.

Now that everyone's first round opponents have changed, what changes will happen when the real game is played?

He really doesn't know.

However, considering that the Trail Blazers successfully advance to the first round, the opponent in the second round will basically be born between the Clippers and the Mosaics.

Therefore, he prefers his Western Conference semi-final opponent to be the Mosaics rather than the Clippers.

This is not to say how afraid of the Clippers trio he is. On the contrary, no one knows better than him about the Clippers, or Paul's unluckyness.

If you look at Paul with his memories of later generations, Paul's NBA career in the middle and middle period will be tragedy everywhere.

Whenever Paul comes to a further point in his career, the goddess of fate always likes to joke with him and always tends to stand on the side of Paul's opponent.

This was the case during the wasp period,

This was the case with Kobe's real MVP period in 2008.

The same goes for the Clippers.

Even when he partnered with Harden later, he still did this when he played for Aerospace City.

Whether it is metaphysics or fate is bumpy, Paul has not won a championship ring until the end of 2020 when Wang Zelin traveled through it.

What if Paul will be injured again in the next game...

Of course, the above is only part of the reason.

The bigger reason is that Wang Zelin wants to destroy the Magic Group in the playoff showdown.

The regular season is different from the playoffs. The latter's value is obviously higher in the eyes of the outside world, so he is eager to use a series of devastating victory to truly witness the rise of his league's number one center.

Master Huo is a good background board.

However, before that, Wang Zelin and his teammates needed to defeat the challenge from the Los Angeles Lakers first. Although they were full of high confidence in advancing to the first round, the opponent was an opponent composed of a professional basketball player, and was led by Black Mamba Kobe Bryant. They still dared not be careless about this team.

The administrator has a good saying: despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically!

The Trail Blazers’ current mentality is very consistent with this description.

...

April 20.

The first playoff series of the 2013-2014 seasons officially kicked off.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! That night, the league arranged a total of 4 games, namely:

The Third Raptors in the Eastern Conference VS the Sixth Nets in the Eastern Conference;

The third Thunder in the West vs. The sixth Warriors in the West;

The East’s First Pacers vs. The East’s Eighth Hawks;

The Spurs in the West vs. The Seventh Grizzlies in the West.

As for the Trail Blazers' game, it is scheduled to be 8 pm tomorrow, which is April 21.

At 7 p.m., there is still half an hour left in the Pacers and Hawks game.

The Pacers this season can be described as a sudden attack. If several teams with championship appearances are selected this year, the Pacers are definitely one of them.

Therefore, their first game in the first round of the playoffs also attracted great attention from other teams in the league.

Before the game, Wang Zelin called.

"Hey, George, still in the locker room?"

"Yeah~"

"Listen to the sound, are you a little nervous?"

"No, nothing."

"It's not that, man, just a fight with the Hawks. If you want to bet, which of our two teams swept the opponent 4:0 in the first round first to advance."

"Wow, Wang, don't blow it, don't forget that your opponent is Kobe..."

"Tsk, that guy is old. Now the league is ours and the world. You kid is more successful this year. After killing LeBron, we brothers can fight bayonets on the finals stage. Don't let it go!"

“…”

Damn, this kid is too crazy.

After hearing Wang Zelin's arrogant words of "spraying water in the finals", Paul George jumped up in fear and was speechless.

But for some reason, this sounded like a sudden burst of enthusiasm. He just wanted to do a good job at night and smash the eagle.

Now the alliance is our world...

Are you fighting for bayonets in the finals?

It sounds pretty good!

"OK, I also congratulate you on being able to successfully enter and break out of the division, and then... wait for us to slaughter the finals!"

At this moment, Paul George also showed a sense of arrogance that belonged to young people.

"Haha," Wang Zelin laughed loudly after hearing this, "this is right, this is the Paul George I remember... Then let's say that, see you in the finals!"

Then, Wang Zelin hung up the phone.

The Pacers fought the Heat in the East Finals and advanced to the finals.

Is it possible to develop such a plot?

Of course it is possible!

If I remember correctly, the Pacers' Five Tigers are the strongest opponents of the three Miami giants in the past few seasons. Last season, the two sides fought seven games in the Eastern Conference Finals, and the Heat finally won and advanced thrillingly.

Logically speaking, if the Pacers can rank first in the Eastern Conference this season, Paul George and his teammates will definitely become stronger than last season.

But why, I remember that the Pacers only played six games with the Heat this year and lost. In addition to the team leader Paul George's experience in leading the team is not as good as James, I'm afraid there is also the psychological shadow left after losing to James last year.

Now, the reason why Wang Zelin planted a seed in Paul George's heart when he chose the first round was not to wait for the future to take root and sprout.
