Chapter 386 It's all fake, it's all control points
Ranked 9-15 in the West are the Timberwolves, Clippers, Lakers, Rockets, Trail Blazers, Jazz and Hornets.
Since the league introduced the Bobcats, the Hornets were moved to the West, which was later the Pelicans, a waterfowl team.
In the East, the Hornets could still make the playoffs. After arriving in the West, the Hornets were directly at the bottom of the West. This shows the huge gap between the East and the West. But what is difficult for the Western teams to accept is that the championships in the past two years have not been the same.
Taken away by the East.
Because there are Luyu Bulls in the east, they are truly a unique force.
Tracy McGrady and Kobe Bryant have become inseparable brothers. The two brothers decided not to go fishing this summer and to follow Phoenix in the playoffs and win the championship with Lu Yu.
The first round matchups in the Western Conference are out, Suns VS Grizzlies, Spurs VS Nuggets, SuperSonics VS Warriors, Mavericks VS Kings.
What attracts Chinese fans the most in this series is the game between the Suns and the Grizzlies, and the SuperSonics and the Warriors.
No one expected that the SuperSonics could actually face off against the Warriors. In other words, this is a China Derby playoff. Yi Jianlian is on the SuperSonics and Yao Ming is on the Warriors. The SuperSonics are really full of surprises this season.
, no one expected that Yi Jianlian, who was confident in his statistics, would actually lead the SuperSonics to 17 consecutive victories at the end of the season, directly taking the SuperSonics to the third position in the Western Conference.
The Kings are the most unlucky. They were already the last among the eight teams in the playoffs, and they also encountered the Mavericks, who were not ranked high but were extremely powerful.
But after all, we didn’t meet the Suns.
Anyway, the Grizzlies have nothing more to ask for. Their boss originally just paid a favor to the Suns boss, but now they are facing each other in the first round of the playoffs. They can only accept it as bad luck, but they are willing to let it go, even if Battier doesn't.
After being traded to the Suns, can they win?
The Nuggets are in the playoffs again.
A certain emperor next door had his eyes red with envy.
This season, Anthony averaged 20.77 points, 2.59 assists and 5.68 rebounds per game, ranking 19th in the league in points per game and 16th in the league in total points.
From every point of view, Anthony is more worthy of having the No. 1 pick than James.
If the Cavaliers had drafted Cameron, they would probably be in the playoffs by now.
This is the gap between talent and experience. James, who just entered the league, is talented, but his team-leading experience is still far behind players like Anthony and Wade who came out of college.
But as time goes by, James will show his dominance.
And it will widen the gap between him and Anthony Wade.
The premise is that the Cavaliers can afford to invest for such a long time, and James will not run away to play basketball with brothers because he cannot win the championship.
However, the Nuggets faced the Spurs in the first round, which was difficult for them. Experts predicted that this round of games would be swept 4-0, and the Nuggets would have no power to fight back.
Someone asked Lu Yu to predict the score.
Lu Yu said he didn’t know, but it would definitely not be a 4-0 sweep, because the Spurs would pull one or two games in the first round every time. In other people’s eyes, that’s a pull, but in Lu Yu’s eyes, that’s Bobo.
Vicki deliberately lost the game in order to maintain the condition of the players.
Because sweeping the opponent will allow the players to rest for too long and will also cause them to sell fewer tickets at home.
Since the playoffs were changed to a best-of-seven series, 4-1 or 4-2 has become the most perfect score to end the series.
It's either that you can't win, or you just want to sell more tickets. Sometimes you can reach an agreement with your opponent, or even help your opponent play one more game. The opponent sells more tickets, and your players still maintain their form.
Of course, there are also shameless ones, who agreed at the beginning to sell more tickets.
In the end, it was a 3-3 tie. It was better not to make a comeback in the end, so I just accepted it. If it was overturned, I would be really dumb and unable to tell the story of the pain.
The first team in the Eastern Conference is the Heat.
In the summer, the Heat acquired Shaquille O'Neal in a trade with the Los Angeles Lakers. After O'Neal's arrival, the Heat underwent radical changes and eventually achieved the best record in the Eastern Conference of 59 wins and 23 losses. If it weren't for Phoenix's Lu Yu's fabulous performance
, O'Neal almost won the second regular season MVP in his life.
Of course, this is not O'Neal's bragging.
In this season's MVP rankings, O'Neal came from behind and was ranked directly below Lu Yu. The Heat have also become a unique team in the Eastern Conference. They won 59 games this season, the same winning rate as the Spurs and only a little lower than the Suns.
Ranked behind O'Neal is Nowitzki. Although the team's record is not as good as O'Neal and Duncan, Nowitzki's data is higher than both of them.
This season Nowitzki averaged 26.1 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.5 blocks per game.
O'Neal averaged 22.9 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.5 steals and 2.3 blocks per game.
Duncan averaged 20.3 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.6 blocks per game.
So Duncan is currently ranked fourth in the MVP rankings.
But they all lined up behind Lu Yu, and they couldn't even see the tail lights.
This season Lu Yu averaged 35.9 points, 15.7 rebounds, 12.3 assists, 1.9 blocks, and 3.2 steals per game.
Won the scoring title, rebounding title, assists title and steals title!
The shot-blocking king was taken by Camby, mainly because Lu Yu was unwilling to block shots. He was too easily injured and boring. Blocking shots is all about bounce and timing. There is also the risk of collision in the air. It is not like grabbing a rebound.
Just click on the location.
So with such data and the team's record ranking first in the league, others have long lost any illusions about the MVP.
If the MVP was given to someone else with such results, there would probably be countless fans scolding the league for being shady.
And averaging a triple-double per game is simply not easy.
It is really difficult to get a triple-double. In the game, among the five major statistics of points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks, at least three should be in double figures, which requires a high level of player comprehensiveness.
It's not easy to get a triple-double, let alone average a triple-double.
There are 82 regular season games in a long season. It is more difficult to achieve a triple-double in every game than to win an MVP.
Oscar Robertson is the "Big O" we are familiar with. He is the first great man in history to average a triple-double per game. In his rookie season, he averaged 30.5 points, 10.1 rebounds and 9.7 assists per game, almost achieving a triple-double per game.
In his second year, Big O's skills and body were clearly reflected. His statistics were 30.8 points, 12.5 rebounds and 11.4 assists, making him the first person in history to average a triple-double per game.
In his subsequent career, Big O was very reluctant to get triple-doubles. He was a veritable triple-double machine. He had a total of 181 triple-doubles in his career, which is also the first in history. It is too difficult to surpass him.
Others thought it was impossible before, but now it seems that Lu Yu may surpass him in just a few years, right?
In Lu Yu's previous life, Westbrook also averaged a triple-double per game, but the data was still much worse than the Big O.
Ranked second in the Eastern Conference are the Bulls.
The Bulls led by Wang Zhizhi performed well. Although they seemed to be invisible during the season, they still finished second in the Eastern Conference with a winning rate of 56 wins.
3-8 are the Pistons, Celtics, Pacers, 76ers, Wizards and Nets respectively.
Iverson worked hard this season and averaged 30 points per game, second only to Lu Yu, which brought the 76ers to sixth place in the Eastern Conference.
To be honest, his leadership level is really average.
But at least it is better than the current Kobe. Kobe led the team for the first time and did not even make the playoffs. He was ready to fly to Phoenix to watch Lu Yu perform with McGrady.
Ranked 9-15, the Cavaliers team of little Emperor James is ranked ninth.
What happened, Emperor?
You didn't make it to the playoffs in the first year because the team configuration didn't match you well. In order to correct you, you sent away the team boss Davis. So what's going on this season?
Is it possible that if you don’t play well in the game and the team loses, it’s because of your teammates?
Is there any fucking problem with you?
Whoever becomes your teammate is really unlucky for eight lifetimes.
The Suns rested for three days and confirmed the 13-man roster for the playoffs. They are basically the same players they usually play in the regular season. There is nothing to adjust.
The first round of the playoffs started on April 24. The Suns played against the Grizzlies. Phoenix was packed with people. The Suns led from start to finish and finally defeated the Grizzlies 117-83.
I have to say that the Grizzlies' defense is still very good.
Haslem scored 17 points and 9 rebounds in his playoff debut. His performance was not as good as that of the Grizzlies' core player Gasol, but it was not inferior by much.
Lu Yu and Haslem have developed a tacit understanding after cooperating in the regular season. As long as Lu Yu attracts Gasol's defense, Haslem will have the opportunity to open or cut. However, in this game, Gasol
Sol did not help defend and chose to bypass the pick-and-roll without switching defenses. In the end, Lu Yu was left alone with the ball.
The Grizzlies head coach's idea is very simple. He would rather let Lu Yu die alone than let the entire Suns team be revitalized.
It turned out as he wished, and he was beaten to death by Lu Yu alone.
Lu Yu scored 57 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in the game, beating the Grizzlies' interior to death. The two interior lines received ten fouls. In the end, Gasol also committed many fouls.
The Suns did not do a bad job on the defensive end. Of course, it may also be the reason why the Grizzlies' offense was really bad. In short, the team limited the Grizzlies' scoring to 83 points.
Opposing Lu Yu was Stromire Swift. Swift has great physical fitness but a relatively simple mind. During the CCTV broadcast, Xu Jicheng said: "Swift's layup missed the basket... good
Well, Swift is a high jumper."
In the substitute competition, the Grizzlies were also completely suppressed by the Suns. Regardless of the overall level of the Suns' substitute lineup, D'Antoni will always leave two relatively powerful players to lead the team, such as Nash.
If Nash really comes off the bench, he might win the Sixth Man of the Year award.
The Suns won the second game even easier, winning the game 129 to 91.
Lu Yu was having trouble again. He made 8 of 14 three-pointers and scored 40 points, 12 assists and 17 rebounds. While completing a triple-double, he completely overwhelmed Swift, who only scored 3 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist.
.
Lu Yu was in trouble and could make any shot. The Grizzlies could only double-team him in the end and score the ball as soon as he was double-teamed. Among the four starting teammates, except Haslem, who could not shoot three-pointers, the other three all had three-pointers.
Ability.
In the away game in Memphis, Lu Yu continued to show his strength in the third game, making 11 of 20 shots, 5 of 10 three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, scoring 33 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals. Five players on the team scored in double figures.
Although five members of the Grizzlies team scored in double figures, they lacked a super scorer. The top scorer was Gasol who scored 21 points. In the end, they lost 93 to 128 at home.
No team in the NBA has ever been able to successfully come back from a 0-3 deficit. When the team wins three games, the outcome is already doomed.
At this time, the owner of the Grizzlies called the owner of the Suns.
So the whole team received the news that they would lose to the Grizzlies in the next game. The reason was very simple. Although it was not stated clearly, everyone knew it was because Battier was acquired in the original trade.
It made Shane a little embarrassed.
The Grizzlies came back in Game 4, but the Suns players were in a collective downturn. Only Lu Yu and Richardson scored in double figures, and they lost the game 89-92.
Returning to Phoenix in Game 5, the Suns lost another game to the Grizzlies 92-94.
The Suns struggled in this game, but any fool could see that the Suns players were playing as a training game.
Basketball experts blasted the Grizzlies as crazy for trying to sell tickets.
But Grizzlies fans believe that this is the strength of the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies fought tooth and nail to win two games.
The big score came to 3 to 2
Only then did Lu Yu realize that the West was much more complicated than the East. When the Bulls played, it was all a competition of strength. He didn't expect that the West had so many people and sophistication.
The reason why we played 3-2 was to allow the Grizzlies to sell more tickets in Game 6.
I'm just afraid that the Grizzlies played seriously and ended up with a 3-3 tie. The comeback in the end would be ridiculous.
However, the owner of the Grizzlies is very trustworthy, and the Grizzlies players also played cautiously in this game. This is probably the most boring first round series that Lu Yu has played.
It's all fake.
It's all about point control.
The Suns didn't want to be so fake, but the Grizzlies' scoring ability was too limited, so they struggled to score, and in the end they only scored more than 90 points.
In the two games they lost, the Suns players controlled and controlled again and only lost by two or three points.
On the contrary, it made fans think that these were the two most exciting games in the series.
However, in Game 5, the Suns once again gave the Grizzlies a bloodbath. Even if the Grizzlies played casually and fought for their lives, they could not stop the Suns.
Lu Yu held it in for two games and finally broke out.
He played the whole game for 35 minutes and scored 46 points, 14 rebounds and 17 assists. The Grizzlies had no temper at all.
But the Grizzlies owner is satisfied.
Sell one more game tickets and make a lot more money.
As shameless as the Grizzlies are the Nuggets.
The Spurs and Nuggets also played 4-2, which is a shameless example. However, if the media criticizes the Spurs, the Spurs will say: "The Suns did it too."
The SuperSonics and Warriors also played 4-2, but they were not acting.
The Warriors finally won the game.
Yi Jianlian really can't stand up to Yao Ming.
The game between the Kings and the Mavericks was not over yet. The two teams tied at 3-3 and reached the final battle for Game 7.
