Then, James also regained his confidence and prepared to fight again next year.
But at this time, the Celtics gave James another blow, with the addition of Garnett and Ray, plus Paul Pierce.
The Big Three gave the Cavaliers another profound lesson in the playoffs.
"Old brothers haven't touched the championship trophy yet, why are you so anxious when you just entered the league a few years ago!" The Wolf King's roar resounded throughout the Eastern Conference semifinals.
As a result, Xiao Zhan fell in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
At this time, James was also heartbroken. Didn't you say that the future is mine?
They are all liars!
Unexpectedly, the Wolf King was injured for the season in 2009, which gave James hope of standing in the finals again.
Unexpectedly, they were defeated by the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference finals, and James' Cavaliers could not restrain the monster that came out of the cage.
Once again, they fell in the Eastern Conference Finals 4:2.
This time he also asked the management to strengthen the team. The Cavaliers also traded for Shark, whose attendance rate was so high last season. This time, with the help of Shark, James also wants to avenge the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Sharks played 75 games last season, averaging 17.8 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. You have to admire the Suns' miracle doctor!
Because the last time he played more than 75 games was in the 1999-2000 season. That season, he played 79 games, averaging 29.7 points and 13.6 rebounds per game, starting the Lakers' three consecutive championships!
You know, that's a shark in its prime.
Who would have thought that the 36-year-old Shark would have a second spring last season.
But that's the fact. That's why James greatly appreciated the Cavaliers' trade of O'Neal.
In a villa in Cleveland, a second-string player looked up to the sky and laughed: "Howard, prepare to face the emperor's wrath!"
The Magic also signed Brandon Bass, Matt Barnes and Jason Williams in the free market, mainly to strengthen the substitute lineup. They also reached the Finals last game and fell short in the end.
After losing to the Lakers, they also want to make a comeback this season.
In the East, in addition to the Magic and Cavaliers who are the favorites to win next season, there is another team that cannot be ignored, and that is the Celtics: the Celtics.
The recovery of Garnett, the wolf king, has reunited Boston's Big Three. Although we don't know how much impact this injury will have on Garnett, after all, he is the iron-blooded great Nate, the shadow of a famous tree, and he is also a power forward.
Only Deng Dadai of the Spurs can compete with him.
And point guard Rajon Rondo has become more mature after experiencing these playoffs.
Moreover, Boston also signed the Roaring King: Rasheed Wallace in the free market.
Rashid Wallace originally planned to retire, but he was found by the Boston Celtics management, and he was tempted by saying: Hey, man, listen to me, you don’t want to win another championship before retiring.
?
Rashid Wallace: Who are you looking down on? I won the championship through hard work, not through teamwork.
Then, he agreed to join the Celtics. Who would object to a championship?
The addition of Rasheed Wallace has also strengthened the Celtics' bench.
So far, the only team recognized to be able to compete with the Lakers is the Celtics!
One west and one east, one yellow and one green, the battle between yellow and green once again attracted everyone's attention.
Of course, there are other favorite teams to win the championship: such as the Nuggets, Jazz, Mavericks, Spurs, Suns, Thunder...
Well, they are all Western Conference teams. This year's Western Conference is full of heroes, which is particularly lively.
The management of the Knicks also knows that competing for the championship with these big bosses is purely courting death.
It doesn’t matter what your lineup is.
With the addition of Lian Dao and the signing of Paul Millsap in the free market, their goal for the new season is to fine-tune the lineup and train their troops.
Well, this is the team goal set by the management!
It's pretty worthless, right? There's no way around it. All those who have some ability in the free market have been snatched up by the championship teams, and some veterans are willing to take a salary cut to join the yellow and green army. Who doesn't want to be able to touch that at the end of their career?
O'Brien Cup.
After returning to New York, Lian Dao began to devote himself to training.
The Knicks' team training camp will not start until mid-September, and most of the Knicks players are currently on vacation.
In other words, Lian Dao's training time is less than a month.
He needs to continue to improve his low-post skills and mid-range shooting in less than a month, while also strengthening his strength and confrontation.
The task is very heavy and time is a bit tight for Lian Dao.
But some improvements can still be made in this month, and Lian Dao also got the keys to the Madison Square Training Arena.
It has to be said that the NBA's training facilities are more professional than those of the NCAA.
The training equipment room inside has everything you need.
During this month, Lian Dao was also under the guidance of Chris Brickley's training team, and he could feel visible progress every day.
As time goes by, and the new season is gradually approaching, the first person from the Knicks to report to the arena is Paul Millsap.
Paul Millsap was also particularly surprised when he saw Lian Dao sweating profusely in the training arena.
He also knows about the Knicks' rookie No. 1 pick.
Moreover, he also knew that Lian Dao had just signed a huge sneaker contract. Shouldn't he be spending and enjoying it at this time?
There's actually no problem with him thinking that way, because that's basically what most black players do.
"Shouldn't you be on vacation at this time?" Paul Millsap's voice interrupted Lian Dao's mid-range shooting training.
Lian Dao also turned to look.
This was also the first time Lian Dao met Paul Millsap.
During this period, Paul Millsap's beard had not yet grown, and his bulging muscles gave people a powerful look.
Lian Dao still knows something about Paul Millsap. Paul Millsap is a counterattack in the second round, which is very inspiring.
He has a strong body, but his movement speed is relatively weak compared to that of a small forward, but Paul Millsap has a long wingspan, sufficient strength, excellent jumping ability, accurate prediction, and especially excellent rebounding ability.
Although he is only 2.03 meters, he is not disadvantaged at all in the power forward position. Moreover, his movement speed, which was originally a disadvantage in the small forward position, has become a strong advantage in the power forward position.
And in the future, he will also be selected to the All-Star team four times.
At this time, Paul Millsap didn't have many opportunities in the Jazz. He was really at the 4th and 5th positions. The Jazz had too many players who could play, and no one would put most of their energy into a second-round pick.
On the body.
Although Jerry Sloan was optimistic about this second-round pick, he still did not pay attention to Paul Millsap. After all, he was a player selected from the second round and the 41st overall pick. Jerry Sloan still underestimated Paul.
·Millsap’s talent.
Otherwise, the Knicks wouldn't be able to take advantage of him.
Historically, on November 10, 2010, the Jazz played against the Big Three of the Heat. With 28 seconds left in the game, the Jazz trailed 90 to 98 by eight points, and the situation was over.
At this time, Millsap hit a three-pointer, his third three-pointer in five years of his career.
Then, with 21 seconds left in the game, Deron hit a three-pointer.
In 12.1 seconds, Millsap hit another three-pointer; in 4 seconds, Millsap hit his third consecutive three-pointer.
Then, after Wade made one of two free throws, the Jazz fell behind by two points, 102-104.
At this time, despite hitting three consecutive three-pointers to help the team pull from the brink of defeat to only two points away, Salt Lake City still did not leave their chance of comeback to Millsap.
Star star Deron left the game with six fouls, and the Jazz handed over the final shot to C.J. Miles. Miles missed a three-pointer.
Millsap hit a tip-in at the buzzer to tie the score at the last second.
In the last 28 seconds of the game, Millsap scored 11 points alone, creating the "Millsap Moment" and leading the Jazz to force the Heat into overtime and ultimately win.
However, the Knicks cut off Millsap this summer, so Lian Dao felt that Newx's IQ was online!
