Chapter 118 Nowitzki at his peak
The Cavaliers ended the battle in four games.
After the game, James led the Cavaliers players to a nightclub in Atlanta in a low-key manner. Almost all the players played all night and did not return to the hotel.
Qin Yang watched his teammates drinking and smoking, and finally found a room with his sister in his arms, and shook his head helplessly, and left alone.
This is the NBA.
The next day, the Cavaliers flew back to Cleveland.
Next, what the Cavaliers need to do is to wait patiently for the next opponent, and at this time, Qin Yang has time to sit down and watch the games of other teams.
In the East, the Celtics played against the Magic.
The Celtics are tough and tough, and they played very well even without Kevin Garnett.
If Kevin Garnett did not truce due to injury, it is almost [-]% certain that the Magic is not the opponent of the Celtics, but with the Celtics' uneven lineup, it still caused a lot of trouble for the Magic.
The excitement of this series has made fans hooked.
Mr. Billionaire Rashad Lewis, this widely criticized big-contract player, played well in this series, averaging 16 of 7.3 per game, shooting 45%, scoring 20.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 0.9 blocks. Rashard Lewis is the best player of the two teams in this series.
none of them.
When the Magic were in crisis many times, Rashad Lewis used precise shots to help the team stabilize the score and open the score.
Compared with other players, Rashard Lewis' performance is beyond doubt.
Unlike the soft guy that others imagined, Rashard Lewis also has a lot of steals and blocks, especially as a projective insider, Rashard Lewis does a very good job of interfering with shots.
These defensive capabilities cannot be reflected by data.
In contrast, Paul Pierce is old, averaging 19 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game. It is hard to believe that this is the core of the Celtics.
Howard is as stable as ever, with amazing data of 16 points, 17 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game. This big man formed the Magic's defense alone.
The Celtics' best player was Rajon Rondo. When Qin Yang watched the game, he was like a Spartan. This point guard who can't shoot actually got such excellent statistics.
Averaged 14 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists and 2.3 steals per game.
This data...better than Qin Yang.
In addition to Qin Yang's 32 points in a single quarter is more amazing, the average data per game is not as good as Rajon Rondo.
But strength and average data are not necessarily directly proportional.
Rajon Rondo is not as strong as imagined. He has made many open shots with an amazing shooting rate, and his three-point shooting rate is 1/7, which is almost completely open.
The average shooting percentage per game is only a little over [-]%, which makes it even harder to believe that this is the shooting percentage of the point guard.
In this season's playoffs, Qin Yang's average field goal percentage is close to [-]%. Although the shooting percentage is not as good as James and others because of too few free throws, Qin Yang's shot selection is very good, and no one dares to defend against the air.
Rajon Rondo... It doesn't matter if the air defense is two steps away.
Of course, Rajon Rondo's data is good enough.
After the Celtics took a 3-2 lead, Ray Allen made the biggest mistake. In the seven-game series, Ray Allen shot less than [-]% of his field goals in two games, which pitted the Celtics.
In the last two rounds, the Magic team worked together to turn the tide, and finally won two games in a row and won the Celtics 4-3.
After this game, the Celtics' crisis became more serious. Some media broke the news that after the game, there was a quarrel among the Celtics because of shooting rights and performance on the field.
But the game is over, the players should fish and play, and no one cares about it.
After defeating the Celtics, the next opponent of the Cavaliers is the Magic.
Just after the game, Howard called Qin Yang: "Bruce, you should be careful in this series, don't go inside, or I will make you doubt your life."
"As long as you are happy."
Qin Yang couldn't complain about Howard's teasing.
This guy just wants to be happy every day, completely ignoring other people's opinions, just like a child willful.
"Although you will come to me next year,...we will win this playoffs, and then don't blame me for not giving you face." Howard said stinky.
Qin Yang hung up the phone speechlessly.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Yang called Yao Ming again:
"Brother Yao, how's the situation?"
On the other end of the phone, Yao Ming was in a depressed mood. This series was the best opportunity, but at the critical moment, Yao Ming was injured, and he was suspected of being cheated.
"It's okay to play for a few more years, but...it will be difficult to win the championship in the future. This year should be the Rockets' best chance to win the championship. I really don't know if they will have a chance to win the championship in the future."
Yao Ming was a little depressed.
Qin Yang couldn't understand this feeling, he just tried to comfort him:
"Brother Yao can go to other teams and join forces when he is about to retire. Now many teams are thinking of finding three superstars to win the championship. Pierce and the others are off to a good start."
Yao Ming was speechless for a while. In fact, it was the first time the Celtics really caused the team to win the championship.
In the history of the NBA, there are very few superstars who take the initiative to team up to win the championship, unless they have reached the end of their careers and their strength has been greatly reduced.
The Celtics' Big Three are holding together, it is simply unscrupulous.
The three of them were all at the end of their peak, so they started to form a group, and they called it a veteran to realize their dreams.
This pitted others.
Obviously, Yao Ming didn't want to talk about it.
Yao Ming hesitated for a moment, but lowered his voice to persuade: "Qin Yang, you have to be more careful in the playoffs, don't be fooled. My injury this time is related to the Lakers, but there are some things that I can't say."
After saying this, Yao Ming hung up the phone directly.
There were many surprises in the playoffs between the Rockets and the Lakers.
Although the regular season record is not as good as the Lakers, the Rockets played very well in the playoffs.The offensive combination of Yao Ming and Scola on the inside, Chuck Hayes and Landry on the bench are extraordinary, and Artest and Battier on the outside are even more versatile in defense. In this series, the Rockets took the lead at the beginning.
But... In the third game, Yao Ming was injured twice in a row.
Two of them were suspected of being black feet by the Lakers, and one was that Kobe deliberately hit his knee.
Qin Yang didn't watch the game, so he didn't know the details, but for a basketball player, he knew whether the opponent fouled on purpose or did something wrong.
When Yao Ming said this, it was obvious that there was something hidden inside.
It's just that there's no way to talk about it.
Qin Yang knew in his heart what was going on.
In another matchup in the Western Conference, the Nuggets played brilliantly against the Mavericks.
A head-to-head matchup, where superstars face off.
Nowitzki of the Mavericks really worked hard. In the past two seasons, Nowitzki's strength has reached its peak. On the one hand, the league has become more and more strict on penalties. It is not allowed to be contacted by the eyes when shooting, otherwise it will be whistled. On the other hand, Nowitzki's golden rooster independence is superb.
In this series, Nowitzki averaged 34.4 points, 11.6 rebounds and 3 assists per game.
