Chapter 415 The playoffs start, without him, only hands-on!
Then the news quickly spread across the Internet.
Most people are saying: "This deal, the Cavaliers made a profit!"
"The combined score of these two players traded by the Cavaliers is not as high as that of Wang Zhizhi alone. Wang Zhizhi is the best [-]th pitcher in the league outside of Nowitzki!"
Hearing this news, LeBron James, who missed the MVP in the All-Star Game, was also inspired!
"Finally, I have a reliable helper. If there is an insider who can shoot three-pointers to help me open up space, why would my breakthrough be so difficult?"
"This year's playoffs, I can finally show my strengths!"
"One goes up and down, and this helper was snatched from Han Mo, it makes me happy just thinking about it!"
After Wang Zhizhi joined the Cavaliers, he deservedly won the starting fourth position!
After leaving Han Mo, Wang Zhizhi naturally lost the bonus of the "Dragon Soul" effect, but in his old profession, the three-pointer was not discounted!
In the Cleveland Cavaliers, which is dominated by sudden shots, Wang Zhizhi's role is exactly the same as that of the 76ers, that is, to make a good three-pointer. Compared with Philadelphia, which has many pitchers, in Cleveland, the only three-pointer Wang Zhizhi, with a rate of more than 4% and an average output of more than 2 three-pointers per game, has become the most handsome boy of the Cavaliers!
In the first game, Wang Zhizhi was dissatisfied with the environment, and made 3 three-pointers and only scored one point!
But soon bottomed out!
Joining the Cavaliers in the second game, Wang Zhizhi made 8 of 6 three-pointers and scored 20 points alone!
Becoming the most reliable right-hand man next to James, James' love for Wang Zhizhi soon surpassed that of the slow-moving Zajunas-Ilgauskas and his famous name, but he was not comfortable lying on the hospital bed. Willing to come down on Larry Hughes!
As for the Philadelphia 76ers, with the return of Eric Snow, the problem of the shortage of point guards was easily solved. Half a month after the All-Star Game, Allen Iverson also returned to the team smoothly. The Philadelphia 76ers began their final sprint to the playoffs!
But this time, Larry Brown changed his strategy and did not continue to strive for victory, because this year the Pistons are in a very good state. At this time, they are already ahead of the second-placed Philadelphia by as many as 6 games. But there is no need!
After all, if they really want to reach the top of the finals, the home field advantage has become a joke, so what's the point of fighting for the first place?
What's more, the No. [-] San Antonio Spurs in the West are even more terrifying. At this time, they are already three games ahead of the Pistons!
Looking at it this way, the advantage of the finals is even more distant.
As for home court advantage in the Eastern Conference Finals?
I'm sorry, the team that won two consecutive championships doesn't need to think about things before the finals, crazy, that's how crazy it is!
There are only two things on Larry Brown's mind right now:
One is how to keep everyone healthy. Before the playoffs, the main rotation players should no longer have potential injuries, and it is best not to fall into a state of fatigue!
The second is that there are so many first-year and sophomores in the team, how many players can be selected for the playoffs?If you still can't stand up now, shouldn't you train well before the playoffs?
When the time came to the end of March, when other playoff teams began to struggle for the final season rankings, Larry Brown rested Iverson, Han Mo, and Yao Ming at the same time!
There is a lineup of Chris Paul, Kyle Korver, Trevor Ariza, Mehmet Okur, and Marcin Gortat!
There is no suspense, such a young lineup is free for any NBA team!
A wave of five-game losing streak caused the Philadelphia 76ers to slip from a stable second position in the Eastern Conference to third in the Eastern Conference!
At this time, Larry Brown began to continuously add Han Mo, Yao Ming and others to this lineup, but he firmly controlled the playing time of these old people!
Under such circumstances, although the Philadelphia 76ers bid farewell to the losing streak, they will inevitably suffer some defeats against the strong teams at the playoff level!
But Larry Brown turned a blind eye to all this, and still arranged his troops according to his plan!
During this process, Larry Brown continued to reduce and deploy the lineup, and gradually knew which young players could come in handy in the playoffs!
After long-awaited calls, the 2005-2006 playoffs are finally here!
Eastern standings:
1. Detroit Pistons
2. Miami Heat
3. New Jersey Nets
4. Philadelphia 76ers
5. Cleveland Cavaliers
6. Washington Wizards
7. Indiana Pacers
8. Orlando Magic
Western standings:
1. San Antonio Spurs
2. Phoenix Suns
3. Denver Nuggets
4. Dallas Mavericks
5. Memphis Grizzlies
6. Utah Jazz
7. Los Angeles Lakers
8. Sacramento Kings
This season, the San Antonio Spurs lead the league with a terrifying record of 63 wins and 19 losses!
Tony Parker has been reborn and has been fully developed!
Averaged 19 points, 5.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 1.1 steals per game!
The Spurs scoring champion changed hands for the first time!
Parker has gradually become the reliance of Popovich's galloping alliance from the most scolded person.
The reason why the record of the Phoenix Suns this year is not as terrible as last year is that Stoudemire's season reimbursement this season!
The team's first scorer was replaced by Sean Marion from Amare Stoudemire!
Sean Marion did live up to his trust. With Nash in his pocket, he still won 50+ games without Stoudemire. It can be seen that Marion is not a simple defensive champion, but also has the potential to become the core of the offense!
As for the Lakers, Kobe's efforts were not in vain, and he finally lifted the team into the playoffs with his own strength, but the playoffs will face the mighty Suns, and life and death seem unpredictable!
With the addition of Andre Miller, the Utah Jazz has indeed undergone a qualitative change. Carlos Boozer averaged 20 points per game for the first time, showing the style of a generation of inside meat grinders!
Andre Miller, who was not restrained, was also full of firepower. He averaged 17 points and 12 assists per game, won the regular season assists from Nash, and helped the Jazz return to the playoffs. game!
This also made the alliance realize for the first time that Andre Miller, who seemed ordinary, actually has such a powerful strength!
Andre Miller said lightly: "Without him, it's just a lot of finals!"
