With Pierce's powerful dunk, the regular season of the 2004-05 season was over. The Celtics won the game again. This season, the Celtics achieved a good result of 55 wins and 27 losses.
, and Rivers believes that if Milicic had not missed a month at the beginning of the season and Pierce had a muscle strain in the middle and late season, the Celtics would have had a good chance of winning 60 games.
This season's regular season scoring leader is Allen Iverson of the Philadelphia 76ers, the assists leader is Steve Nash of the Phoenix Suns, and the steals leader is the bearded Byron who was transferred to the Golden State Warriors.
Davis got it, while the rebounding leader was Kevin Garnett of the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the block leader was won by Camby of the Denver Nuggets.
At this point, the NBA playoff rosters for the East and West divisions have also been released.
The Eastern Conference quarterfinals are:
No. 1: Miami Heat
Second place: Detroit Pistons
Third place: Boston Celtics
Fourth place: Chicago Bulls
No. 5: Washington Wizards
No. 6: Indiana Pacers
No. 7: Philadelphia 76ers
No. 8: New Jersey Nets
The Miami Heat in the East have become an upstart, because the addition of O'Neal has made the Miami Heat extremely powerful, and Wade is no longer the junior brother last year. The ability he has shown in many games this year can match his All-Star
As a defender, Stan Van Gundy's tactics revolve around O'Neal and deploy a group of shooters on the outside. James Posey and Mike Dunleavy are all good three-pointers, and LaFrentz, who was traded from the Celtics, is even better.
It suits Van Gundy's wishes. He likes such a big man who can shoot three-pointers. It can be seen from the way he used Turkoglu, Rashad Lewis, and Ryan Anderson in his later generations that he shoots three-pointers against big men.
The pitcher is very fond of him. This relatively ideal lineup in his mind has really produced good results. Coupled with the main control Gary Payton and the powerful power forward Karl Malone, it is naturally even more powerful.
The Detroit Pistons are the most important factor in the Miami Heat's first place in the Eastern Conference. In the last 15 games, they deliberately retained their strength, with senior coaches like Popovich, Larry Brown, and Phil Jackson.
They don't seem to care so much about the rankings in the regular season. They pay more attention to the results in the playoffs, so all arrangements must be made around the playoffs. The Pistons let some water go, and Van Gundy played like chicken blood later.
The Heat naturally came from behind.
As for the Boston Celtics, they have perfected several tactics under the guidance of Rivers, and the team's integration has also reached a new level. In this season, Pierce still averaged about 25 points per game as before.
The most important thing is that several newcomers have injected vitality into the team.
Darko Milicic scored 18.6 points, 9.4 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.3 blocks throughout the season. Al Jefferson, as the team's starting power forward, played every game throughout the season and averaged 10 points per game.
He averaged 9.2 points and 8.1 rebounds. If the Celtics didn't have Krstic and Chris Anderson rotating inside, who are good at offense and defense, I'm afraid Al Jefferson's statistics would have reached double ten.
About. Although Derek Fisher has only been in the team for half a season, and his statistics are not very impressive. He can only score 9.7 points and 4.1 assists, but in many cases his role cannot be measured by statistics. His
His big heart and smart defense really give opponents a headache. And like all old players, he understands when to let the team's ace player play and when to step forward himself. Although Fisher is like this
Excellent, but his two substitutes are not bad either. West and Banks complement each other on offense and defense. Especially West's improvement is extremely obvious, and he is completely following Fisher's rhythm.
, many times even Pierce will not hesitate to shoot, but he will shoot without thinking. Many people think that West has a better psychological quality, but Milicic knows that this guy is so shameless.
Someone who wants to be in the limelight, so his behavior can be easily explained.
The fourth-placed Bulls relied on their five strong players of Kirk Hinrich, Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, Tyson Chandler, and Eddie Curry to achieve good results, which also impressed the fans.
I saw hope for revival.
As for the rankings in the West, they are:
No. 1: Phoenix Suns
Second place: San Antonio Spurs
Third place: Seattle SuperSonics
Fourth place: Dallas Mavericks
Fifth place: Houston Rockets
No. 6: Sacramento Kings
No. 7: Denver Nuggets
No. 8: Memphis Grizzlies
This year's small ball whirlwind has made people aware of Suns head coach D'Antoni and SuperSonics coach McMillan, and the popularity of small ball again has also made people feel that the importance of speed in basketball does not necessarily have to be lower than height.
The San Antonio team has always been so stable. He was the second choice for the Lakers before, but he still liked to be the second choice after the Lakers lost. As for the Mavericks and Rockets who are fourth and fifth, they are more familiar, and the sixth-place Sacramento team has already
Webber was traded away. Through several transactions, the data looked similar to Webber's, but their functions were completely different. The successive departures of Abdur-Rahim, Webber, Divac, and Christie also showed that
The Kings have withdrawn from the first group and have been unable to change this status quo for at least ten years.
The Denver Nuggets are steadily improving under the leadership of Anthony. With assist specialist Karen Mok, three-point shooter Laettner, and two star insiders in Kenyon and Marcus Camby, the Nuggets' prospects are impressive.
Optimistic.
As for the eighth-place Grizzlies, thanks to the efforts of my sister-in-law, Sean Battier, Bunch Wells, Mike Miller, White Chocolate and others, they are considered to be the most likely team to win the eighth place.
's team.
The playoffs are about to start. Milicic didn't think about Tim Duncan, the man who was legendary by Gasol, because before meeting him, he had two majors: the Heat and the Pistons.
Naturally, everyone knows about the Pistons' Five Tigers, and they even represent the highest level of this era.
The Miami Heat's main lineup is even more terrifying, with point guard Gary Payton, shooting guard Devin Wade, small forward James Posey, power forward Karl Malone, and center Shaquille O'Neal.
It seems that this team is only missing Mourning, Walker and White Chocolate compared to the team that won the championship. But with the addition of Malone, Dunleavy, LaFrentz and others, it can be said that it may be even more powerful.
