Chapter 316 Feeling sorry for Stephen Curry, the Cavaliers are very close to the second round of the
The Warriors chose to give up strategically in the last game, which made their final record of the season the same as before:
73 wins and 9 losses.
This data also made them the first in the league this season.
Enjoy all the home field advantage of the playoffs.
The number one in the Eastern Conference changed at the last moment. The Cavaliers defeated the Lakers 118 to 95 and won the last game of the regular season. Their record this season is also fixed at 66 wins and 16 losses.
It was also this victory that allowed them to change from second in the Eastern Conference to first in the Eastern Conference.
As soon as they changed, LeBron James was dumbfounded.
Because they happened to be ranked fifth in the East, and even in order to stabilize this position, they even lost the last game specifically.
I thought that at least before the Eastern Conference finals, I would not meet Li Wan.
Unexpectedly...
Could it be that the most tragic result is really about to become a reality?
If the Heat are just LeBron James dumbfounded, then the Eagles are the entire team dumbfounded.
Ever since the Eagles finished playing against Li Wan last season, they knew that they could never be Li Wan's opponent. They tried their best to avoid Li Wan in order to prolong their survival this season as much as possible.
Falling in the Eastern Conference finals is always more glorious than falling in the second round of the playoffs!
But now it seems that this year they will reach the second round at most!
If the Eagles are dumbfounded by the entire team, then the Pacers are the entire city feeling sad.
They are eighth in the Eastern Conference this season.
Will meet the Cavaliers in the first round again...
Is this the first time?
It looks like it's the third or fourth time since they drafted Paul George.
The outside world said that LeBron James was taught badly by Li Wan, but who knew that Paul George was also an absolute "Li Wan fermented bean curd" and had been completely beaten.
In the last interview before the end of the regular season, he was a bit gibberish in front of the camera: "I've bought fishing equipment on Amazon..."
There is absolutely no desire to resist.
These are because they sighed because they met Li Wan and the Cavaliers Captain, and they were upset because they didn’t meet Li Wan, such as...
Carmelo Anthony!
In the last 6 games of the Nets season, he averaged 28.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. With his outstanding performance, the Nets also regained the third place in the East.
Originally, according to the Cavaliers' second ranking in the Eastern Conference, they could meet in the semifinals. Now they must win the first two rounds of the series in order to enter the Eastern Conference Finals...
Howard hasn't been to the Eastern Conference Finals in years.
As for Chris Paul, he never even touched the floor of the finals...
Jie Li Wan...
It's really "dog luck"!
The sixth and seventh in the Eastern Conference are the Raptors and Bobcats respectively.
Therefore, the grouping results of the first round of the Eastern Conference this year are:
Cavaliers VS Pacers, Bulls VS Bobcats, Nets VS Raptors and Eagles VS Heat!
In the west, the team behind the Warriors is the "Terminator" Hornets.
Their final record this season is fixed at 60 wins and 22 losses.
They are the only two teams in the Western Conference with more than 60 wins.
The third in the West is the Trail Blazers.
After the arrival of Deron Williams, it perfectly made up for the absence of Jeremy Lin, and there are even many things that Jeremy Lin cannot do.
For example, his more stable singles and mid-range shooting...
This allowed them not only to stabilize their previous rankings, but also one step closer, becoming the third in the Western Conference this season.
Fourth in the West is the Thunder.
The Thunder, which was ranked sixth in the Western Conference a month ago, won 15 of 12 games in the last season, including the Warriors and Hornets.
凯文-杜兰特在这15场比赛，场均可以贡献32.4分7.6篮板4.6助攻1.6抢断，依稀可以看到那个“巅峰杜兰特”的影子。
It was also this wave of victories that brought his name back to the ranks of the most heated discussions in the media.
The fifth in the West is the Clippers;
The sixth in the West is the Grizzlies;
The seventh in the West is the Spurs;
Eighth in the West is the Sacramento Kings;
Therefore, the matchups in the first round of the Western Conference are as follows:
Warriors VS Kings, Hornets VS Spurs, Trail Blazers VS Grizzlies, Thunder VS Clippers...
It can be seen from the grouping of the East and West this year that the league has changed in the past two years.
Especially in the west, the Lakers, Spurs, and Thunder all fell behind, replaced by the "New Royal Three", especially the first two teams, which have just emerged in the past two years.
Bill Walton sighed: "The league has changed again!"
Of course, the sigh is the sigh, the feeling is not very big, after all, it has been explained for many years, and in this league, the ebb and flow is too normal.
Iron-clad NBA, prolific players...
It's normal to change, and it's the only problem if it doesn't change!
Even if it is as strong as Li Wan, it will take a year to settle in a new team.
With the determination of the first round of the playoffs, the list of the major data kings this season also has the final result...
李万本赛季一共打了74场比赛。场均可以贡献32.5分9.8篮板11.8助攻2.8抢断1.4盖帽。场均投篮命中率53.4%，三分球命中率45.5%，罚球命中率91.58%。
Among them, averaging 32.5 points per game made him the "scoring leader" again, which is also the fifth game in his career to win the "scoring leader".
Behind him is Stephen Curry, who averaged 31.8 points per game. He was also the "scoring leader" this season. Unfortunately, because of Li Wan's existence, his scoring average did not dominate the list this time.
However, it should be a certainty that he won the "regular season MVP" of this season. With a record of 73 wins and 9 losses and his personal data, as well as 4 times of "best of the month" results this season, plus The external media laid the groundwork early, all explaining this matter...
Kevin Durant averaged 30.5 points per game, behind Stephen Curry.
The season reimbursement last season affected his state, which made his scoring at the beginning of the season unremarkable.Even if he regained his form at the end of the season, it was too late, and there was no way to attack the "scoring champion"...
In addition, Li Wan averaged 11.8 assists per game, and once again won the title of "Assist King".
This is the third time he has won the "Scoring Champion" and the "Assist Champion" at the same time... In the entire history of the NBA, there is one and only such one!
It can be said that it is quite explosive!
In second place is Rajon Rondo, who is a bit unlucky...
His average assists per game this season is not much different from Li Wan, only 0.2. His average assists per game this season is 11.6!
At the end of the season, there was also a period of competition between the two, but unfortunately, Rajon Rondo still "fell".
Ultimately lost.
Also lost is Stephen Curry on the three-point list.
Ok……
It's Curry again!
The total number of his three-pointers this season, as the experts said, finally broke through 4 three-pointers, reaching an exaggerated 408 three-pointers. He stands above the crowd.
It's a pity that he met Li Wan this season.
5.8 [-]-pointers per game…
Li Wan, who played a total of 76 games this season, finally scored 429 three-pointers this season!
21 taller than Stephen Curry!
You know, this summer's "No. [-] Scholar" won't be able to score these numbers in several careers!
The media who saw this figure all described Li Wan in the same way:
Crazy!
How crazy is it?
Even though they have witnessed Li Wan's "three-point show" every game, they still find it hard to believe that there is such a player who can play such a performance outside the three-point line.
Stephen Curry is already amazing, but Li Wan is simply the "three-point god"!
Barkley said: "This is probably what Michael Jordan looks like with a three-pointer!"
When Jordan heard that this "dead fat man" was using him as a "stepping foot" for Li Wan, he was about to say something at the time, but thinking about his brilliant record in the three-point shooting contest that he himself was a little blushing, he chose closed the wheat.
Anyway, it's not once, twice or three times, and there will definitely be more in the future.
Lord endured it!
Ok……
What can I do if I can't bear it?
You can't be in that "year history book" every day, right?
Then what kind of "basketball god" is there!
After retiring for more than ten years, Michael Jordan gradually felt what it means to "leave the tea cold"!
The appearance of Li Wan is writing some more amazing stories than he did back then...
This point, even he himself has to admit it!
Had I known that I would not have retired in 94 and 95...
Michael Jordan had such an idea for no reason.
Or in 99 and 00, fight for another two years...
It's not over yet, in addition to being the "leading scorer", "leading assists" and "leading three-pointers", Li Wan also became the "king of steals" this season with an average of 2.8 steals per game!
It is worth mentioning that the "second child" is none other than Stephen Curry...
From the score list to the three-point list, from the three-point list to the steal list, wherever Stephen Curry goes, where does Li Wan press.
For this reason, a topic appeared on Twitter:
I feel sorry for Curry!
"Reb King" belongs to Dwight Howard...
Thanks to the reform of the league, "Warcraft" returned to the position of "rebound king" after several years.
To say that the competition for the "rebound king" this year is really fierce. Jordan averaged 14.1 rebounds per game but failed to win the "rebound king", and Drummond averaged 14.8 rebounds per game and also did not win the "rebound king"... …
Howard scored an exaggerated 15.2 rebounds this year and became the ultimate "rebound king"!
The number one in the "block list" is Hasse Whiteside who walked out of the New York Knicks that year.
"Big White Edge" also walked this season.
Of course, his shot-blocking ability is the same as that of Marcus Camby and the like before, with a lot of moisture.
At least he didn't enhance his team's defensive strength.
This season's "turnover king" belongs to James Harden, averaging 4.6 turnovers per game.
"Okay City's second" Westbrook ranked second, averaging 4.3 turnovers per game.
This number of turnovers is hard to imagine in the past NBA, but it can also be seen from this how fast the pace of the league is now.
Of course, it can be seen that...
The ability of these two people to handle the ball is indeed not that of traditional defenders!
……
4月17日，15~16赛季结束后2天，联盟正式公布了本赛季的“最佳新秀”。
Compared with the lack of competition in the previous two years, the competition for "Best Rookie" this season is quite fierce:
场均17.5分的奥卡福、场均14.3分7篮板的波尔津吉斯、场均18.3分10篮板的唐斯战成一团，最终唐斯以52%的得票率击败了前面两人，成为了最终的“最佳新秀”。
Then on the day the playoffs started, Dwyane Wade averaged 15.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, becoming the "Best Sixth Man" of the season!
He also became the second player in NBA history to win the Finals MVP and the "Best Sixth Man" award...
As for the first player to achieve this achievement, it is none other than the current ESPN gold medal commentator Bill Walton.
Speaking of which, Wade is a bit like him.
He also won the championship in the third season of his career, and also won the championship after completing a reversal after falling behind 0-2 in the finals.
Now because of injuries, he can only continue to shine on the bench.
Of course, compared to the fragile Bill Wharton, Wade can be regarded as an "iron man"!
After winning this award, Wade faced the media and thanked the team for their trust in him: "They gave me enough stage!"
Compared with being submissive in the starting lineup, Wade now likes the feeling of punching hard on the bench... The little resistance to playing on the bench at the beginning of the season has long been forgotten by him.
To his surprise, Pat Riley actually sent him a message, congratulating him on getting the "Best Sixth Man": Obviously, you have the right position again, I am proud of you, Dwyane!I no longer regret the choice I made, it was right to let you go to the Cavaliers!
Although there is a villain in his mind reminding him crazily:
Don't believe it, this old man is at KTV again!
But Wade's eye sockets were still red unconsciously.
teacher……
On April 4, the playoffs officially kicked off.
The four matchups that started today are Cavaliers VS Pacers, Eagles VS Heat, Hornets VS Spurs, Trail Blazers VS Grizzlies.
Except for the Cavaliers VS Pacers, there is no suspense, and the other games are quite suspenseful.
This can be seen from the pre-match predictions that the experts have different differences in these three groups of duels.
The Eagles and the Heat have played a total of 4 games this season, and each won two games. It can be said that they have wins and losses.
And it can be seen from the process of the game that if the Heat allow the Eagles players to cooperate and make outside shots feel ahead of time, then they will be very passive.
Similarly, if the Eagles let the Heat's "Big Three" enter the state, then it will be difficult for the team defense they are proud of to be comprehensive...
Hornets VS Spurs, their respective advantages and disadvantages are also obvious.
The Hornets are strong in their strength and obvious strength, while the Spurs are disadvantaged in these two aspects, but there is one thing that no media can question: don't underestimate the Spurs in the playoffs, no matter they are in the regular What was it like during the race...
The Trail Blazers VS Grizzlies also failed to fully suppress each other.
The strength of the Trail Blazers is inside, and the strength of the Grizzlies is also inside. Deron Williams on the outside gives the Trail Blazers an offense, but Mike Conley is not a vegetarian.
His current scoring ability is not bad at all compared to Williams...
At the same time, this group has an additional point of view.
The "Ohio Four" met in the playoffs...
Although Li Wan and Cook have met before, the gap between Cook and Li Wan can't be said to be big, it can only be said that Cook can't even touch Li Wan's hair.
The gap is really heaven and earth!
Oden and Conley are different...
[-]-[-] strength, [-]-[-] alliance status, they meet each other, it is still very exciting!
These two people also spoke harshly to each other before the game. One said, "I will kick your ass hard", and the other said, "At most 5 games, I will send him home early to fish"...
Very lively.
A reporter suggested that Li Wan join the "chat group".
Li Wan curled his lips: "It's impossible for me to meet these two rookies in the finals, so let's not talk about it!"
That night he received a "middle finger greeting" from these two people.
The middle finger is the longest of the five fingers, so...
Li Wan replied: "I know, I know, I know I'm your boss, needless to say!"
Auden:? ? ?
Conley:? ? ?
This thick-skinned again!
As the game time approached, the Quicken Loans Arena was bustling with crowds of Cavaliers fans pouring into the arena from all directions.With an excited smile on his face, his eyes were full of earnest hope.
It was the Cavaliers' final year in Cleveland, and their thousand words were reduced to three words:
champion!
With such an urgent thought, one can imagine how intense the Cavaliers' home atmosphere will be tonight.
However, judging from the state of the Pacers, they were not intimidated.Especially Paul George, who said in an interview at the end of the regular season that he had bought fishing gear, was warming up seriously there.
Obviously, let's talk about it, let's talk about it, he and the Pacers still have the idea of beating Li Wan and the Cavaliers in their hearts.
It's just that the Cavaliers, who finally sat at home, won the first game of the series with a 25-point victory.
And this is just the beginning.
20号跟22号，骑士队又接连拿下了2场胜利，分别赢下了24分跟27分，大比分来到了3-0！
On the 24th, in a blink of an eye, it was the fourth game of the series between the Cavaliers and the Pacers.
The silent Indiana "library" was silent, watching the Cavaliers 121 to 91, 30 points victory, won the fourth victory of the series.
The big score came to the familiar 4-0!
The Pacers were swept by the Cavaliers for another year.
Looking at this round of the series between the two teams, no matter how many times you watch the replays...
You can't find any other adjectives to describe this series other than crushing.
李万在这四场比赛，场均可以贡献36.5分10.5篮板11.5助攻2.5抢断1.5盖帽。
在他的带领下，维金斯场均可以贡献18.5分5篮板3.5助攻；克里斯-波什场均可以贡献19.25分8.5篮板2.5助攻1盖帽；亚当斯场均12.5分8篮板；乔-约翰逊场均10.5分3.5篮板2.5助攻；韦德14.5分4篮板3助攻……
It can be described as "all staff working hard"!
For Cleveland fans, this is more exciting than a 4-0 sweep of the Pacers.
after all……
Sweeping the Pacers, they did it last year.
And the playoffs are not just one round, so the entire Cavaliers can maintain a vigorous state, that is the best news!
On the Pacers side, the only stable player is Paul George.
常规赛场均24.5分5篮板5助攻的他，这4场比赛他场均可以贡献23.5分4.5篮板5助攻2抢断……除了他以外，整个球队几乎没有正常人，数据跟常规赛相比，都要差不少。
Paul George, who was isolated and helpless, was completely knocked out. Facing the reporter's last interview this season, he said in a daze: "My fishing gear has arrived..."
While the Cavaliers reached the first round, the results of the other 7 matchups are gradually coming to fruition...
25日，勇士队在国王队的主场以23分的分差，拿下了他们跟国王队这轮系列赛的第4场胜利。同样以4-0的大比分送给了国王队一场横扫。
Although it was eliminated in this way, it was already a very successful season for the fans of the Kings. You must know that before this, the last time the Kings entered the playoffs was 10 years ago.
At that time, the main player of this team was... Ron Artest!
The most sincere teammate in Li Wan's mind!
Now with the joint efforts of Evans and "cousin", they finally returned to the playoffs stage.
The so-called "a full man does not know a hungry man is hungry", after being "hungry" for so many years, Sacramento is now very satisfied with the team's ability to advance to the playoffs.
Then on the 26th, the Hornets also eliminated the Spurs 4-1 and advanced to the second round.
As far as the entire 5 games are concerned, they can be summed up in these 8 words:
The Hornets are too fierce, and the Spurs are too old!
The energetic and energetic Hornets used almost no tactics, just a blunt "fast break and counterattack", which just ran the Spurs to the ground.
Leonard has shown his strong perimeter defensive ability, whether it is the quality of single defense or the quality of co-defense, the effect is visible to the naked eye.But this team now not only requires him to do a good job on the defensive end, but also requires him to contribute to the offensive end. At this time, his energy is a bit insufficient...
Every time it came to a critical moment, he couldn't stand up, or he didn't know which side to give up!
This is actually a key step in the transformation from a superstar to a superstar, and Leonard is on the way.
"It's time, I've actually wanted to say this for a long time, and I don't think there is a better opportunity than now. I think it's time to leave this league!"
On the night of being eliminated by the Hornets, Tim Duncan dropped a "blockbuster" and announced his retirement, marking the end of his 18-year career.
There was a lot of discussion from the outside world about this.
But I think it makes sense, because...
As Tim Duncan said, it is indeed time!
In the regular season of this season, Tim Duncan averaged 23.4 minutes per game, 11.2 points and 6.8 rebounds. In the playoffs, when the average playing time increased, his average data not only did not increase, but also increased. Sliding to average 10.4 points and 6.4 rebounds per game...
Such a performance, with Tim Duncan's historical status and achievements, naturally he will no longer want to continue to fight in the league.
Since then, there has been no legend of "Stone Buddha" in the world.
On the 27th and 28th, more teams were promoted.
In the East, the Nets eliminated the Raptors 4-2 and successfully entered the semifinals.
The "Trash Brothers" scored 48 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists. Especially in the two games won by the Raptors, the performance of the two was even better.
It's a pity that at this time, DeRozan's daughter is a baby, not "the strongest female foreign player in the NBA".
Without such a strong main force, after dealing with the "Big Three" of the Nets for 6 games, they still lost.
Lowry buried DeRozan's head in his chest again at the moment when he was officially eliminated by the "Big Three of the Nets."This scene is almost becoming an iconic scene in the hearts of Raptors fans.
The Bulls eliminated the Bobcats with a score of 4-1 and advanced to the second round.
In the West, the Thunder also eliminated the Clippers 4-2 and joined the Warriors in the semifinals.
The only remaining matchups between the two sides are the Heat VS Hawks, and the Trail Blazers VS Grizzlies.
To say that this matchup between the Heat and the Eagles, the gap at the beginning is actually quite big.
The Heat took home-court advantage back to Miami with two straight wins at home to the Hawks.
At that time, many media believed that they would eliminate the Eagles 4-0.
The facts seem to be moving in that direction. The Heat, who returned to their home court, won another game, and the big score came to 3-0!
But after the Cavaliers eliminated the Pacers 4-0, the Heat, who had been invincible before, suddenly encountered ups and downs in their state. The home court regained its place and rewritten the big score to 2-3!
In these two losses, the ups and downs of LeBron James' state are the most obvious.
After winning the first three games, LeBron James averaged "30 plus 10 plus 10" per game!
After two losses, LeBron James' data suddenly shrank to "25 plus 6 plus 7"!
Spoelstra had a chat with LeBron James: "Man, if we win the Hawks, we can play the Cavaliers. Don't you want revenge?"
He thought it would definitely boost LeBron James' adrenaline, but it turns out...
In the 6th game of the series, LeBron James’ performance was even more sluggish in his own home court. The statistics were magnificent, with 28 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists. Compared with the previous two games, he has recovered, but he made 5 turnovers , and the defensive end was completely sieved by the Eagles.
Spoelstra looked at him, and the more he looked, the more familiar he was. In Game 2011 of the Eastern Conference Finals in 4, wasn't he like this?
This is……
too much stress?
its not right!
What pressure does he have to play against the Eagles?
If there is pressure, it will only be when the Cavaliers are under pressure in the next round, right?
Unbeknownst to Spoelstra, LeBron James was already thinking about the Cavaliers game.
The thought of being shaved by Li Wan, Chris Bosh and Wade at the home court of the Cavaliers, he really had the urge to simply fall in the first round of the playoffs.
But the problem now is that the Heat took a 3-0 lead before, and if they are really pulled by the Eagles for 4 games in a row, then he will also become a laughable joke.
between……
To win or not to win!
This is a problem!
It was a loss to the Eagles, and people joked, "If you lead 3-0, you can lose, which is too useless!"
Or was swept by the Cavaliers in the second round...
Which of these two ways of dying is more noble?
LeBron Hamlet James hesitated.
There have been some changes in the past two days. To put it simply, my mother has been at home for the past month because of her body resting after the sun, so she can cook for me.But in the past two days, she couldn't be idle anymore, and went to work again. It was my turn to make lunch for her, and I had to take care of my niece, so the updates in the past two days were not stable and the number of words was not enough. But now the adjustment is almost done, and it will definitely be stable again tomorrow.
