On the 24th, the Cavaliers defeated the Pistons 92-84 away from home and got the match point 3-0.
Pistons' Stuckey scored 14 points on 5-of-15 shooting.
The Magic were upset again, losing to the 76ers 94-96, falling behind 1-2.
Iguodala's evaluation has been greatly improved. 2276 seems to be quite versatile and has unlimited potential.
No one knows that this year will be his peak.
The Magic only lost two games by 2 points, and their luck was extremely bad.
The Lakers played the Rockets away from home and scored another victory, leading 3-0.
The top teams in the East and West have shown considerable strength.
The Nuggets beat the Hornets. Paul scored 32 points and performed well to win the game, falling behind 1-2.
On the 25th, the Celtics defeated the Bulls away from home, leading 2-1.
Although the Celtics have become weaker, the Bulls are even worse.
Ever since, Celtic are still on their way to promotion.
The Hawks lost to the Heat, falling behind 1-2.
The Spurs beat the Trail Blazers and led 3-0.
Then came the third game between the Clippers and the Suns. The Clippers lived up to expectations and won the first away game, leading 3-0, showing their strong strength.
Three games were played in the first round, and the four teams led 3-0. The division of strength between teams became more and more serious. Some fans complained that the game was not intense enough and not as suspenseful as the games in previous years. Every team looked competitive.
.
On the 26th, the Cavaliers defeated the Pistons, swept their opponents 4-0, and took the lead in advancing.
"We have only one goal, and that is to win the championship."
James spoke big words when he was excited.
The reporter immediately asked: "You mean you are not afraid of the Lakers and are confident that you can defeat the Lakers?"
James's heart skipped a beat.
It is impossible for the five-star Lakers to say that they are not afraid at all.
"We have the confidence to face any difficulties and work hard..."
James said a lot, but didn't answer whether he was afraid or not.
In the fourth game between the Magic and the 76ers, the Magic came back and tied the game 2-2.
In the fourth game between the Lakers and the Rockets, the Rockets came back and tied the game 1-3, avoiding the embarrassment of being swept.
A wise man immediately said that this was a loss caused by the Lakers deliberately letting the situation slip in order to earn more box office.
Zhang Zhiyuan watched this game, and he felt that the Lakers did not let go, they simply lost because of poor performance.
Of course, the Rockets also took advantage of the home buzzer, taking 10 more free throws than their opponents, and Artest was also ejected.
Kobe's touch was not good, and the Rockets were amazing again.
Many coincidental factors came together to cause the Lakers to lose.
This is actually normal. The Clippers almost overturned before.
Without cheating, Zhang Zhiyuan cannot guarantee victory.
The Rockets won a game just to save face and could not change the fate of being eliminated.
After all, their good fortune couldn't last forever.
The Nuggets played the Hornets, and Zhang Zhiyuan also watched the live broadcast.
Paul lost miserably, but he didn't lose by 58 points, he only lost by 42 points.
This game was still affected by Zhang Zhiyuan. Maybe Paul increased his training after seeing Zhang Zhiyuan and became stronger than before. It may also be that the Nuggets let the main players play for a shorter time in order to retain their strength.
In short, Paul now only has one regular season 58 tragedy, and he is not laughed at by the fans.
Zhang Zhiyuan is a little regretful. He can only wait for next season to see if he can meet Paul in the playoffs... If he can, he will have to find a way to help Paul leave some legends.
On the 27th, the fourth game between the Clippers and Suns began.
Zhang Zhiyuan really let off steam, but the fans who did offend couldn't tell at all.
He scored almost 40 points in each game before, but he only scored 30 points in this game, and then the Clippers lost.
There seems to be nothing wrong with Zhang Zhiyuan's performance, it's just that his hand feel is a bit worse.
The Suns won a victory and saved some face.
Zhang Zhiyuan is not at a loss either. He can go back and play one more home court to earn some ticket money.
This is the home court of the playoffs, not a small sum of money.
There are almost 20,000 seats, the average ticket price is as high as 5,000 US dollars, and the ticket price for a game alone is 10 million.
After returning home, the Clippers defeated the Suns cleanly and advanced 4-1.
Some fans felt Zhang Zhiyuan's subtle change in status, but no one had evidence, so not many people cared.
In any case, letting go of water is also someone else's skill.
On May 2, the first round of competition ended.
In the East, the Cavaliers, Celtics, Magic, and Hawks are advancing.
The next semifinals are the Cavaliers versus the Hawks and the Celtics versus the Magic.
Those advancing in the Western Conference are the Lakers, Clippers, Nuggets, and Spurs.
The next semifinals are the Lakers playing the Spurs and the Clippers playing the Nuggets.
There are almost no weak teams after reaching the semi-finals. Except for the Eagles, which is just a little bit behind, the other teams all have a certain ability to compete for the championship. No one dares to say which team is not good.
And in the semi-finals, the competition will be much more intense.
On May 2, the alliance awards will be announced.
Zhang Zhiyuan was elected MVP again, with a vote rate of 46%.
In second place is LeBron James, with 22% of the votes.
Kobe came in third, with 19% of the vote.
Howard is fourth and Paul is fifth, but their vote rates are all in single digits, so they are just a make-up.
Zhang Zhiyuan achieved re-election, and his status in the world improved again.
In the entire history of the NBA, there are very few players who can do this.
Even fewer can do it and win a championship.
"Why don't we bring next season's trophy with us to avoid trouble next time."
Zhang Zhiyuan said this when receiving the award.
The implication is that he still wants to win the MVP award next season, which is very arrogant.
Except for a few early NBA superstars who took advantage of the imperfection of the league to win three consecutive MVPs, after entering modern times, no one has done this again, not even Jordan.
In the MVP selection, the judges will consider balance.
Unless Zhang Zhiyuan performs very, very well next season, he will not be able to win again.
The media listed several necessary conditions for him to win the award next season.
First of all, it must be single-core, the team's record must be first in the league, and the data must far exceed others. The data must be once-in-a-century, such as averaging a triple-double per game.
Fans of Zhang Zhiyuan saw these conditions and said it didn't seem difficult.
"..."
other fans.
Best lineup.
The ones in the lineup are Kobe Bryant, Zhang Zhiyuan, James, Duncan and Howard.
The other four are not controversial. Duncan's selection is a bit surprising. His data is not very good.
But there is no way, Nowitzki has not made the playoffs, Anthony's role on the team does not seem to be decisive, and Gasol's data is not good either... After searching, the judges unanimously felt that Duncan is more suitable.
.
The second team is Paul, Wade, Anthony, Nowitzki, and Yao Ming.
This group is less controversial.
The third team is Billups, Roy, Pierce, Gasol, and O'Neal.
Garnett has missed too many games and is not eligible for selection.
Mo Williams' team has a good record, but the competition for the back line is too fierce, and if he stays with James, his evaluation will inevitably be affected.
Fans will say that Roy is responsible for the Blazers playing well, but not many fans will say that the Cavaliers won the first place because of Mo Williams, and the media will not promote it like this.
Maggette also failed to be selected as an All-Star starter. This is very embarrassing.
He and Mo Williams are in the same situation. No one would think that the Clippers' good performance is due to him. It's all Zhang Zhiyuan's.
"Two teams from the teams behind us have been selected, and our team only has one. Is this good? This is not good. Maggette should occupy a position."
Zhang Zhiyuan complained about his teammates, and James expressed his support. "Williams also deserves a seat, there is no doubt about it."
The best defensive player went to Howard, there is no suspense about this.
He single-handedly supported the Magic's defensive system and led a group of little-known role players to perform wonderfully.
Zhang Zhiyuan leads the team better alone, but the Clippers' strength lies in offense and has nothing to do with defense.
Furthermore, Zhang Zhiyuan already has an MVP, so he still wants to be the best defensive player. It is impossible, absolutely impossible.
Not to mention the best defensive player, he didn't even make the best defensive team.
Best defensive team.
Paul, Kobe, James, Garnett, Howard.
Best defensive second team.
Rondo, Wade, Battier, Artest, Duncan.
Zhang Zhiyuan's fans are seriously dissatisfied with this, saying that the league is suppressing Zhang Zhiyuan and deliberately letting Zhang Zhiyuan get less honors.
In terms of defense, how can Wade compare with Zhang Zhiyuan?
Some die-hard fans have listed the season data. Almost all the players who played against Zhang Zhiyuan took much lower shots than the average per game and scored even fewer points when playing against Zhang Zhiyuan.
None of the other data, such as defensive success rate and number of steals, proves that Zhang Zhiyuan's defense is very good.
However, the list has been announced and the alliance cannot change it.
The noisy fans of Zhang Zhiyuan are just one of many fans. Fans of other unsuccessful stars are also making a fuss.
And, this happens every year.
The Rookie of the Year award went to Rose, who received more than half of the votes.
OJ Mayo ranked second, Lopez third, and Westbrook fourth.
Sixth Man of the Year, Lamar Odom.
His statistics are not the most beautiful, but the team's record is the best.
The winner of the Most Improved Award is Danny Granger, whose average improved from 19.8 to 25.8, an increase of six points.
Fans of Zhang Zhiyuan expressed dissatisfaction.
The best coach award was taken away by Woodson of the Hawks.
This choice is more like a helpless move. Although the Lakers' record is first, it has declined compared to last season, and it is still a five-star lineup.
Many coaches in the opposition have implicitly expressed that if they were asked to lead this Lakers, they would be able to achieve this kind of results... Therefore, Phil Jackson was not selected.
The same situation is almost the same for Dunleavy. The outside world generally believes that he is Zhang Zhiyuan's right-hand man and has no reputation with Dunleavy.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the Clippers to finish last last season.
Dunleavy was very dissatisfied with this. Which coach wins without relying on his players. How can Jackson perform well if he is given a team of CBA players?
Mike Brown also lost the selection because of James. Other teams either had poor records or had other reasons.
In short, after choosing and choosing, Woodson got a big advantage.
The Hawks don't have any stars, and they're still in the second round, so it doesn't seem too outrageous for him to win this award.
After winning the MVP and the best first team, Zhang Zhiyuan's honor points accumulated to 500, and the system was upgraded to level three.
After seeing the introduction, Zhang Zhiyuan knew that he might really want to help others and help his teammates in the future.
After all, it only has 1% effect when used on the opponent, so it is dispensable.
When used on teammates, the minimum is 4%. Taking Hayes's friendliness of 1,000 points, he can get 14% of Zhang Zhiyuan's attribute bonus when used on Hayes.
This is a bit scary. If it were used by Hayes, Hayes would be able to play like a star.
But Hayes is special. He has been with Zhang Zhiyuan for too long, and his interest relationship is relatively close.
Others are much less friendly.
Maggette only has 250, Lowry has 200, Kaman has 150, and DeAndre Jordan has 200...
"We can get Yi Jianlian next season."
Zhang Zhiyuan is already thinking about setting up a national team in the NBA.
Bring in Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian.
In addition to an additional attribute chain, the system also has a very powerful function.
With this function, he can not only play football, but also enter the entertainment industry.
His ability had improved so much all of a sudden, and Zhang Zhiyuan could only lament that he didn't have enough time.
He decided to go to football after winning three consecutive championships with the Clippers. It was no longer fun to bully those people in the NBA.
On the 2nd, the second round of the playoffs begins.
In the first game between the Cavaliers and the Hawks, the Cavaliers defeated the Hawks 105-72.
Obviously, Mike Brown was very upset about Mike Woodson stealing his best coach. He led by a big score and did not replace the main players even when the Eagles surrendered.
This scene made the media extremely happy, and they all made fun of Mike Brown.
The Lakers beat the Spurs, 111 to 92. The Lakers won easily.
Originally, Kobe had more experience playing against the Spurs, not to mention that they now have an absolute advantage in the lineup.
Under this advantage, the Spurs' team basketball seems so weak.
Every time they attack, they need to spend a lot of energy running tactics. They finally score a goal, but then they turn around and are easily scored by the Lakers.
It's hard to defend, the Lakers have too many offensive points.
After losing the game, Popovich fired at the media. "I don't understand what the meaning of this game is. Why not let the Lakers and Celtics form a separate Super NBA league. This is not fair. They paid
With a large amount of luxury tax, a super luxurious lineup..."
"The Spurs have a lot of stars, don't they have three GDP? And why are you the only one complaining? Dunleavy doesn't complain. The Clippers' salary is lower than that of the Spurs."
a reporter asked.
"Who said he didn't complain? He complained last season. Now that they have a superstar on the team, of course he won't complain. If Zhang Zhiyuan is sent to the Spurs, I can shut up."
Popovich's words made reporters and fans laugh.
On May 3, the Clippers played against the Nuggets at home.
