On April 3, at the American West Arena, the Suns defeated the SuperSonics, which was flat when things happened, with a score of 0.
During the season, they experienced a coaching change, and at the end of the season, after experiencing the blow of changing owners, the Sonics had problems.
The new boss is a businessman. He just wants to make back the money he spent. After finding out that the Seattle baseball market is not satisfied, he just wants to move to Oklahoma City, the hometown of the boss. After all, he has spent money and will die.
I want to die in my hometown.
The SuperSonics team is mentally unstable. After the coaching change, they adopted a new tactical system. However, Ray Allen, who averaged 26 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds per game at his peak performance, was injured again. Even if the injury is not serious, for the sake of insurance, it is better to
If he gets a good price in the free market in the summer, there is no need for Ray Allen to return to the court. He can just wait and find his next club.
There was only one Lewis left who could play, and the Suns won very easily, winning 7 consecutive games.
On April 5, the Suns' winning streak was terminated and was repaired by the Spurs with a score of .
Especially Nash, who was beaten by his opponent Tony Parker and scored 35 points and 3 assists. What can he do to win?
Being beaten on the outside, it was also uncomfortable on the inside. Duncan had a solid rebound and 5 assists.
The Suns couldn't play the offensive rhythm they were good at. The offense was lost in the Spurs' iron-blooded team defense. Su Bei also learned a lesson and was very shocked. It felt like the Spurs had manipulated everything in the game.
I couldn't exert my strength and was very depressed.
The only good news for the Suns is that the Spurs defeated the Suns, and it was only 54 wins, still 4 games behind the 58-win Suns. There are not many games left. If you want to reverse the rankings,
It is no longer possible to win, and if you win, you will only win loneliness.
Next, the Suns entered training mode and copied the Spurs' health-preserving basketball. The main players began to rotate and rest. They faced the Lakers, Rockets, Jazz... There were losses and wins, and everything was under control.
April 18, American West Arena.
The final game of the regular season begins, Suns VS Clippers.
The Suns, who had no intention of playing, lost to the Clippers with a score of 1, although their main players played in full numbers and lost the game.
The Suns have a negative record, locking in second place in the league and second place in the Western Conference, and have home court advantage in the playoffs.
The first place in the league, naturally the Mavericks, got the losing line.
The Spurs are relatively lucky, with a negative record, ranking third in the league and third in the Western Conference.
The reason why the Spurs are lucky is because this season the league has made adjustments to the rules of the minor leagues in the six major divisions. The minor division champion team is no longer guaranteed to be the top three in the east and west divisions, but the top four.
In other words, last season, the Spurs trailed the Mavericks in the Southwest Division, with the third-best record in the league, and could only be ranked fourth in the Western Conference at best.
Now the Spurs can be ranked third in the Western Conference.
The Jazz ranked fourth in the Western Conference with a negative record. In previous years, even if their record was behind the Spurs, they were still in the top three. They seemed to be suffering a bit.
However, the real loser and the real injury was Yao Ming's Rockets. They had a negative record, one more win than the Jazz, but ended up ranking fifth in the Western Conference. While they lost their home court advantage, they also had to run into
The Jazz that would be known as their nemesis for years to come.
To be honest, if the Rockets beat the Spurs and some miracle happens, they can probably defeat the Spurs. But if the Jazz play a pick-and-roll and can restrain Yao Ming's withdrawal of center forwards, there is only one way to go.
The Nuggets, led by the golden duo of Iverson and Anthony, had a negative record and were ranked 6th.
The Lakers and Warriors have the same record, both losing.
In the final game, the Lakers, who had the superior interactive record, actually had a choice of opponents.
If you lose, you'll play against the Mavericks.
If we win, we'll play against the Suns.
The Lakers chose to win their opponents and got seventh place as they wished.
The remaining Warriors had no choice but to take Black Eight's script.
Ranking first in the Eastern Conference is the Pistons, which has a negative record and is far behind the top three in the Western Conference.
The Cavaliers lost and were ranked second.
The third place was the Hornets, which lost.
The fourth place was the Raptors, which lost.
The Bulls were also unlucky and got a negative result. Because they couldn't beat the Cavaliers in the small division, they had to settle for fifth place and lost their home court advantage.
The Heat lost, kept in the playoffs, and could only rank sixth.
The Nets lost and were ranked seventh. With the same record, the Wizards, who were lagging behind in head-to-head records, only finished eighth.
With the regular season rankings finalized, the playoff schedule has also been officially released.
The Suns' opponent in the first game is the Lakers. The game will be held on April 22, with a three-day break.
Meanwhile, the Suns’ 12-man roster for the playoffs has also been released. The players are as follows:
Center: Amar'e Stoudemire, Pat Burke.
Power forward: Shawn Marion, Burris Diaw, Kurt Thomas.
Small forward: Su Bei, James Jones.
Shooting Guards: Laga Bell, Leandro Barbosa.
Point guard: Steve Nash, Marcus Banks, Jaylen Rose.
…
April 22,
Early in the morning, the Suns didn't show off their butts.
Bang——!
Su Bei fell off the bed with both hands. He closed his eyes. Su Bei, who was still handsome, turned over and changed his position. He didn't wake up and continued to have a sweet dream comfortably.
The floor has been transformed into a bed no different.
It was nothing more than others fighting from the bed to the sofa in the living room and then to the kitchen. Su Bei's ability was limited and he could only fight on the floor.
Oh, woman!
Now that he has fallen, Su Bei can continue to sleep without any excuses.
A few hours later, Su Bei woke up quietly and found that he was sleeping on the floor without even a thought. He was used to it, so powerful!
After simply washing and dressing, I went out to find food. Without wasting time waiting for food, I opened the system and took a quick look.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Name: Su Bei.

…
"I still haven't broken through to Grade A, whether it's a technical attribute or any physical attribute.
Fortunately, he is getting stronger, his physical attributes have been upgraded to B level, his mid-range shot has reached B level, and his breakthrough skills have also come online.
Although now only the BA league is bad.
For example, Allen Iverson, the strongest, can't grasp his ability value even if he has an S-level breakthrough. In front of Iverson, his breakthrough ability is no longer the gap between a primary school student and a college student, but a professional player facing a big class.
The little bastard.
However, I have a shooting threat, that is, I can combine sudden shooting with my gradually improving physical talent. So what if I have a C-level breakthrough, and what if I am in a big class?
Even if you go to a big class, it will still kill you!"
Su Bei's face showed confidence. It wasn't that he didn't know how high and thick the sky was, but that his shooting, although it didn't break through to A level, was enough.
When the ordered meal was delivered, Su Bei exited the system page and began to actively cook. If he didn't actively cook, there was something wrong.
After finishing breakfast and returning to his residence, Su Bei found that there was nothing to do.
"It seems there is a reason why star players like to go to nightclubs. When there are no games, it is too boring. If you don't find something to do, you will be completely useless.
Secretary, as a player but not a boss, there is no such excuse, hire a few female secretaries, you can find something to do if you have nothing to do.
Maybe, you can find a life assistant or something."
Generally before a game, Su Bei will check the information of the opponent players.
But, the opponent is the Lakers, so that's not necessary.
"If nothing else happens, Kobe may not need him to guard him, and his first choice will definitely be Laga Bell."
You can even be more confident that Kobe will definitely not need him to guard him.
This season, Kobe reached his peak and averaged 35 points per game in the regular season. However, when he met Laga Bell in the playoffs, Kobe averaged only 24 points per game against Laga Bell, which was enough for Kobe to drop his average per game.
With 11 points, Laga Bell also proclaimed himself Kobe Bryant's "terminator" and was regarded as one of the league's top perimeter defenders.
"Even if Laga Bell couldn't guard against the explosive Kobe, she could still use chokeholds and other dirty tricks to knock Kobe down directly. I asked myself if she could do that.
He is so handsome, but he still has a bit of psychological baggage!
Moreover, when Laga Bell faced off against Kobe, whether he could or could not defend him, he could be used as a bait to anger Kobe and make him enter individual singles mode.
This kind of formation, in terms of pattern, is much larger than what others think of defending against Kobe Bryant."
"Of course, if Laga Bell can't stand it, facing Kobe at his peak, no matter how much I study, it will probably be a failure."
Excluding the matchup against Kobe, Subei's only opponent is Luke Walton.
This season, Luke Walton is in the contract year. He plays at the small forward position and performs at his peak. He averages 11 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game. His physical talent is average, but he has shooting problems. His biggest weapon is that he passes well and plays very smart.
, has a very high golf quotient, a strong view of the overall game, and can strictly implement the coach's tactical requirements...
To put it bluntly, he is just a role player with mediocre offense and defense.
You asked him how he got into the Lakers and got a position?
Don't ask, just ask: his father's name is Bill Walton, a legendary second generation star from a basketball family.
Let me ask you again, if you are a CBA teammate, if you don’t play for Walton, how can you play for the soft-boiled guy Vujacic?
During the season, Vujacic only averaged 4 points and 1.5 rebounds per game. He was nothing. He even looked up information! He worked so hard, but he didn’t let others live!
…
April 22, American West Arena.
Night falls.
Outside the arena, fans in pairs and groups were queuing up in an orderly manner to check in and enter the arena.
Reporters carrying cameras and microphones were randomly interviewing fans who came to watch the game.
"As a ratio, how many games do you think it will take the Suns to advance?"
"If you ask me this way, I won't feel sleepy. At least you are not blind, and you are not asking stupid questions like who will advance in the end.
I guess 5 games.”
"Isn't that true?
"Kobe Bryant has grown into the number one shooting guard, Bynum also has the ball and brain, and Phil Jackson's triangle offensive tactics have been adapted for two years..."
The fan being interviewed shook his head, interrupted the reporter, and said: "Because of this, I think the Lakers will last until Game 5.
The Lakers and Suns played 7 games in the playoffs last season. At that time, the Suns gave up Stoudemire, and Laga Bell also received the appropriate suspension. The Lakers still couldn't beat the Suns, and now Stoudemire is back.
Nash and Stoudemire are the Suns' strongest weapons, but unfortunately, the Lakers' point guard and center are the worst among the league's playoff teams. What can the Lakers do to survive Game 6?"
After saying that, the fan being interviewed turned around and left, feeling a sense of pride that hid his merit and fame.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What do you think?" the reporter turned to the couple next to him and asked.
"7 games, I hope not to miss any one!"
"You are so optimistic about the Lakers. The Suns lead 3-1 in the regular season. In terms of strength, the Suns are much stronger than the Lakers?"
"Why not 7 games? Kobe is so handsome and plays picturesquely. 4, 5, and 6 are not enough. After 7 games, no matter what the result is, my body and mind will be satisfied for a year."
"..." The reporter was speechless and looked at the boyfriend of the woman next to him. The other man just shrugged and spread his hands, indicating that there was nothing he could do.
Although his girlfriend was talking nonsense, what else could he do in order to go from undercover to the living room and kitchen?
At this time, G1 is about to start in the arena, the lights are bright and there is a huge flow of people.
Fans who entered the arena were checking in to their seats. Some were buying and selling various snacks sold on site, while more fans were quietly watching the game in a civilized manner, with a wave of fire burning in their bodies.
The cheerleading girls left the stage after dancing. In regret, tonight's players and protagonists officially appeared.
During the warm-up, Nash and Kobe chatted for a few cents. They didn't chat for long and almost just said hello. After all, they are both players of the 1996 golden generation. They have been familiar with each other for ten years.
Marion and Odom actually had a great time chatting. As a social butterfly, Odom naturally speaks very loudly.
Bynum, like Jiangsu Bei, both debuted in the 2005 class, but they can't talk to each other.
Su Bei just wants to warm up by shooting quietly and doesn't want to join in the heat.
At this time, the lineups of both sides for tonight's match were also displayed on the big screen in the arena.
Lakers 5 Tigers, Kwame Brown, Lamar Odom, Luke Walton, Kobe Bryant, Jordan Farmar.
Suns 5 players, Stoudemire, Marion, Su Bei, Laga Bell, Nash.
This game was broadcast live across the United States on TNT radio, with Barkley and Kenny Smith as commentary partners. The famous Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was also invited as a guest, and there was a threesome.
"I heard that the Lakers had doubts about whether to pick the Mavericks or the Suns in the final game.
If it were me, I would definitely choose the Mavericks instead of the Suns.
On defense, the Suns have Laga Bell who can limit Kobe, and on offense, they have Nash and Stoudemire, who can attack the Lakers' weakest points, which are the point guard and center positions.
The points where the Lakers can win are limited, and the points where the Lakers can lose are also the strongest points of their opponents. Both sides are not happy. Could it be that the Lakers still hope that Odom can defeat Marion and lead the Lakers to defeat the top?
Complete the Black Seven Miracles?
It's simply blind, the only way to have a future is to compete with the Mavericks.
The Mavericks are playing less and less energetic, and the lineup is unbalanced.
Both insiders are blue-collar players without offense, and Kwame Brown and Bynum are completely adequate.
The Mavericks have Dirk Nowitzki and Josh Howard, and the Lakers have Kobe and Odom. There are not many positions where they will lose. The only one who will lose is the point guard. But with Jackson's coaching ability, there should be a way to solve it.
, the chance of winning is at least much better than that of the Suns!
"Do you think this is possible? The Lakers are afraid of being the runner-up last season. Moreover, the Suns have a thin lineup. As long as there are injuries, the Lakers still have a chance.
In addition, judging from the strength of the Lakers, whether you choose the Mavericks or the Suns, you will lose more than you win.
Karim, what do you think?"
"This is not a Lakers team that wants to compete for a championship. I'm not familiar with this kind of Lakers, and they don't make reinforcements in the free market.
Both the point guard and center positions want to be solved through the draft. Therefore, when the Lakers choose their opponents, they may not consider winning the opponent. Do you think this is possible? The Lakers just want to play as many postseason games as possible.
race.
So, wouldn’t the Suns, who had to play seven games to decide the winner last season, be the best choice?”
"..."
The season, the first round of the playoffs has begun.
Beep——!
When the whistle sounded, the referee threw up the basketball in his hand, and Kwame Brown returned to the game. The physical talent of the No. 1 pick was there, defeating Stoudemire and scoring the first offense for the Lakers.
Like a tide, Su Bei followed Wharton and rushed to the frontcourt.
"Farmar took the ball to the frontcourt without hesitation, just like the old fish Fisher, and passed the ball to Kobe after halftime..."
