Chapter 600: The Situation in the First Round of the Playoffs and the Two Most Unlucky Players in History

The Seattle SuperSonics staged the greatest comeback in NBA history by defeating the Denver Nuggets at home.

The day after the game, the entire world was dominated by news and coverage of the game.

For the entire world, this game seemed to have opened some great shackles.

The first round of this year's playoffs was actually very exciting. Even the Eastern Conference, which has been criticized all the time, played very well in this year's playoffs.

For example, the battle between the Celtics, ranked first in the Eastern Conference, and the Pacers, ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference, was viewed by many before the game as a complete sweep.

In fact, the Celtics did sweep the Pacers in the end.

But judging from the content of the game, it was actually not that easy for the Celtics to win.

The Pacers' head player Danny Granger performed very well. This was the first time in his career that he led the team to the playoffs as the team's head coach.

But facing the Celtics, the three strongest giants in the East, Granger's performance was incredible. He averaged more than 28 points per game with a 47% shooting rate. He led the Pacers in almost every game. Can bite the Celtics for three quarters.

If the Pacers weren't really far behind the Celtics in terms of strength, this series would be even more interesting.

So although this series between the Celtics and the Pacers was swept 4-0 without any suspense, fans all over the world were introduced to the rise of a new star named Granger.

As long as this all-around scoring player does not suffer any major injuries in the future, this player who always calls himself Little Yes will have a very bright future.

There are also the Wizards, who are second in the Eastern Conference, and the 76ers, who are seventh in the Eastern Conference. This series is even more lively than the series between the Celtics and the Pacers.

It should be said that this series between the Wizards and the 76ers is the most exciting series in the first round of the Eastern Conference.

In that series between the Celtics and the Pacers, the world got to know Granger again.

This series between the Wizards and the 76ers really made the world recognize Iguodala, Crawford and the Wizards' Sun Yue again...

The final score of this series between the Wizards and the 76ers was 4 to 2.

The Wizards had a tough time winning.

The reason for the difficulty is the crazy explosion of Crawford, the 76ers' strongest sixth man.

This 76ers substitute guard even took on the task of confronting Arenas in this series!

And the responsibility is quite good.

The overall strength of the 76ers is actually quite good. The main reason for their poor record in the regular season is that the team's leader Iguodala's offense is not very stable. The team's last offense has always been very problematic.

After the playoffs, no one really expected that the team's sixth man Crawford looked more like the team's boss, while the team's original boss Iguodala actually became Crawford's Pippen.

The 76ers' alternative pairing of Jordan and Pippen really caught the Wizards off guard.

Iguodala is indeed a very difficult point for the Wizards to deal with.

"If it were not for Sun Yue, if it were last season, the 76ers would have been in the black in this series!"

This is the evaluation of this series by many media experts after the end of this series.

Sun Yue's performance in the regular season with the Wizards this season is really hard to describe. You have to say that his role is negative, but he is indeed very important on the court. The organization around Arenas has contributed to Arenas' overall performance. His full commitment to offense plays a big role, and his height and defense are also important to the Wizards.

But to say that he is really that important, just looking at his shooting percentage, even die-hard Wizards fans will feel headaches and pain in the balls.

After the end of last season, many people said that Rondo's shooting percentage was the worst among guards.

Those who once said something about Rondo will definitely regret it now. The appearance of Sun Yue simply broke the fans' impression of NBA players.

According to the evaluation of Rondo last season, Rondo is a shame for NBA defenders, and Sun Yue is a shame for NBA players!

A player who shoots less than 30% from the field and less than 11% from three-point range. What is the shame of such a player if not the NBA?

According to many fans, if a player like Durant can become the scoring leader in the NBA, that is because he is awesome.

And if a player like Sun Yue can gain a foothold in the NBA, then the NBA is really powerful and he can accept anyone!

But this is what fans call the NBA's shame. In the most important playoffs, he actually became the key to the team.

When the entire Wizards were having a headache because of Iguodala's position, it was Sun Yue who finally stood up!

The position of Iguodala, the head player of the 76ers, is too flexible. He can play directly from the first position to the third position. Although the skills are not that sophisticated, he has every skill, whether he is facing Ali Nurse or Caron Butler can both face it calmly.

Facing the Wizards' opposing players, you can really hit whoever you want.

It's really impossible for the wizards to do it.

In the end, the Wizards really released the equally weird Sun Yue and held down the 76ers.

The Wizards finally defeated the 76ers in a thrilling manner and entered the Eastern Conference semifinals.

The series between the Pistons, who are third in the Eastern Conference, and the Hawks, who are sixth in the Eastern Conference, is not as thrilling as the series between the Wizards and the 76ers, but it is quite exciting.

The big score between the Pistons and the Hawks is also 4 to 2.

But the Hawks didn't pose much difficulty to the Pistons.

The Hawks are a very stable team led by Eagle King Joe Johnson and this year's very good rookie center Al Horford.

No matter how the opponent performs, the Eagles can always beat their own players.

As far as the strength of the Pistons and Hawks is concerned, the Pistons' strength is certainly higher than that of the Hawks.

But compared with the stability of the Hawks, the Pistons are exactly the most unstable team.

Under the current model of the Pistons team supporting a superstar like Iverson, the Pistons' victory or defeat is really directly related to Iverson's efficiency.

The majority of the 4-2 victory was not about how much trouble the Hawks caused against the Pistons, but entirely about when Iverson was a god and when he was a ghost.

Since the Pistons won four games and lost two, naturally, Iverson was a ghost in two. As for the remaining four games, two were great, and the other two can only be regarded as average.

As one of the strongest playoff scorers in NBA history, Iverson has averaged close to 30 points per game in his career.

Last season, Iverson partnered with Anthony in the Nuggets, but it was awkward no matter how they played. He averaged 23 points per game with less than 40% shooting, which was the lowest score in the playoffs of his career.

This year in the Pistons, Iverson's scoring average in the playoffs has become 32 points per game, and his shooting percentage has returned to 43%.

Although this shooting rate is not comparable to Iverson's shooting rate in the regular season, it is already higher than in his career.

It can be said that after coming to the Pistons this year, Iverson has maintained a very good condition. It can be seen that he really wants to prove to the Nuggets whose fault it is that everyone parted ways. In order to prove that he is right, Iverson has changed quite a lot of bad habits this year.

According to many experts, after Iverson averaged 30 points per game in both the regular season and playoffs this year, Iverson's career can hit the mark of 30,000 points in the regular season and 30 points in the playoffs. of.

In fact, these two marks are very close to Iverson. Iverson's total score in the regular season has now exceeded 25,000 points, and his scoring average in the playoffs has also reached 29.9.

It may be difficult for Iverson to prove himself with a core championship in his career. The current Western Conference powers and Celtics are too strong.

But Iverson wants to prove that he is a true legend in his own way, and he is already on the way.

Compared with the other three matchups in the East, the Magic, which is fourth in the East, and the Raptors, which is fifth in the East, are the most boring.

But this is also relative. The personal performance of Magic Howard, the leading player of the Magic, made this series not so boring.

Averaging 25 points, 20 rebounds and 4 blocks per game, Howard really single-handedly defeated the Raptors in this series.

If Yes is the most heroic player in the first round of the Western Conference, then in the Eastern Conference, the most heroic player is not Arenas or Iverson, but Howard.

Howard looks much more invincible than Iverson and Arenas.

Fans who like to watch big men dominate games must love this matchup very much.

The Eastern Conference did well in the first round of this year's playoffs, which many people did not expect.

This is especially true for the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, which has always been considered the most brutal Western Conference in history.

This year's Rockets, the No. 1 team in the Western Conference, are the No. 1 team in the regular season with a record of 73 wins and 9 losses, while their opponents, the Oklahoma City Thunder, No. 8 in the Western Conference, are a team with 55 wins.

The Rockets with 73 wins are very strong, but the Thunder with 55 wins are not without their ability to fight.

A duel between Paul and Roy, two of the best point guards of the young generation.

A duel between two older generation scorers, Tracy McGrady and Peja.

A duel between Yao Ming and Chandler, a pair of old rivals who were rivals before entering the NBA.

Plus David West and Artest, two irascible forward players as embellishments.

The seemingly disparate matchup between the Rockets and Thunder was not played so elegantly.

In the sixth game between the two teams, when Chris Paul and Roy were grabbing a rebound, Paul, whether intentionally or unintentionally, hit Roy on the butt with his elbow, which almost caused the first incident in this year's playoffs. A massive gang fight.

If Yao Ming hadn't calmly held back in the end, he would have been suspended for a large number of games after this game.

This matchup between the Rockets and the Thunder was very lively, exciting and exciting.

The Suns, who are second in the Western Conference, and the Grizzlies, who are seventh in the Western Conference, have completely different styles.

Whether it was the Suns or the Grizzlies, this series was played quite gracefully.

Perhaps for the Grizzlies center Oden, perhaps his first career playoff trip was too gentle.

The Suns and the Grizzlies, this matchup is considered the most likely Black Seven matchup. Because Oden is too elegant, the Grizzlies with the twin towers did not kill Stoudemire in every game.

Obviously, Oden didn't understand the difference between the playoffs and the regular season until he led the team to be eliminated in the end.

Maybe Stoudemire should have been fouled every game during the regular season.

But in the playoffs, Stoudemire was not sent off in a single game, and only had two foul crises in six games. In the end, the Grizzlies were unfortunately eliminated by the Suns 2-4.

The two sets of matchups between the Rockets and Thunder, and the Suns and Grizzlies were both exciting and definitely worthy of being rated as the strongest Western Conference in history this year.

These four teams have proven in the playoffs that they have the ability to reach at least the Eastern Conference finals in the East.

The cruelest west in history is well deserved.

But the matchup that truly represents the most brutal Western Conference in history is definitely the showdown between the Spurs, ranked fourth in the Western Conference, and the Lakers, ranked fifth in the Western Conference.

Before the showdown between the Spurs and the Lakers started, most media reporters, experts and fans were more optimistic about the Spurs.

There is no way, the Spurs are a group of strong players in the playoffs. Starting from the team boss Duncan to Horry, Barry and others at the end of the bench, they are all players who have proven themselves in the playoffs.

And what about the Lakers on the other side?

Even Kobe, the boss of this team, has not proven that he can lead the team to win in the playoffs after leaving O'Neal.

And the Lakers' leading power forward, Zach Randolph, is even more famous in the league for his bad statistics.

Wouldn't such a player have to be beaten to death by Duncan when he met him?

In addition, the Spurs also have Bowen, the strongest defensive player in history, on the outside. It can be said that the Lakers are really in trouble before the game starts!

Before this series started, no one really thought that the final result would be that the Lakers eliminated the Spurs 4-2.

No one would have thought that Duncan, the number one power forward in history, would be suppressed by that rotten tofu in this series!

What no one would have imagined is that after this series ended, the whole world felt sorry for Bowen!

Bowen's defense against Kobe in this series was really good!

Bowen almost single-handedly defeated the Lakers' triangle offense. In order to let Kobe get rid of Bowen's defense, the Lakers didn't even dare to play the triangle offense.

Who in this world dares to stand still and hit Bowen?

Not to mention Kobe, even Yes!

In the final series between the Lakers and the Spurs, it was Randolph who suppressed Duncan and finally allowed the Lakers to eliminate the Spurs.

In the regular season, because Parker and Ginobili have always been undercover, Bowen always loses to Yes without losing.

In the playoffs, because Duncan went undercover on a whim, Bowen once again lost to Kobe without losing.

After this round of the series, Bowen won the championship sponsored by ESPN as the second unluckiest player in history with a huge advantage.

Who is the most unlucky person in history?

Of course Yes!

Feeling sorry for me Ye and Feeling sorry for me Bao were the words that appeared most frequently on the Internet in the first round of the Western Conference.

But no one expected that Yes, the most unlucky person in history, would actually change his destiny!
