Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 522 Just in this season

Contrary to the expectations of Kenny Smith and groom Albert, the Bucks were the first to make an effort after the All-Star Game!

"Although the Bucks' record was not stable at the beginning of the season, due to the team's replacement and trading problems, they also lost to most of the league's strong teams in the middle of the season.

But after all, they still have a record of 40 wins and 20 losses, and there is almost no problem in reaching the playoffs.

So I really don't know what they want to fight? "

As soon as Kenny Smith finished speaking, the groom made a clever guess and said, "Could it be that you want to surpass the Celtics in terms of record?"

The current record of the Celtics is 48 wins and 12 losses. There is a big gap between the Bucks and them, but it is not completely impossible to surpass them.

Kenny Smith can't help but think that if the Bucks can really surpass the Celtics in the final sprint, then in the next playoffs, the Bucks will also be in the first place. Both the first and second rounds hold home court advantage.

"There's no way an Eastern Conference team would be willing to drop to eighth or fourth in the East, because then they would have to meet the Cavaliers in the first two rounds.

Even if the Bucks and Celtics relax, it will be difficult for them to slip to fourth in the Eastern Conference with their current record.

Therefore, before the Eastern Conference finals, their biggest opponents are each other. "

The groom also had to show the records of the teams in the East this season.

The Cavaliers have 55 wins and 5 losses, ranking first in the league!

Even in the eyes of many mainstream media, the Cavaliers are likely to break the myth of the Bulls' 72 wins!

"I still remember that last season, the combination of Zhao Hao and James Wang Bo almost accomplished this achievement. Now it seems that the management of the Cavaliers is not giving up, and their ambitions are bigger than everyone imagined.

A three-peat dynasty is not enough!
They want to enter the playoffs with the best record in NBA history, and then win the championship, becoming the top dynasty in the entire NBA history! "

In addition to the Cavaliers, the Celtics and Bucks are the first echelon teams in the Eastern Conference.

As for the current fourth-ranked team in the East.

"It's the Nets!"

In Kenny Smith's view, the Nets are probably the most urgent team in the Eastern Conference.

This season, Kidd has completely filled in his shortcomings, hitting 38% of his three-pointers and averaging 2 goals per game.

In the previous game against the Suns, D'Antoni was still a little unbelieving, and Kidd's three-pointer was released in the audience.

结果基德整场比赛三分球15中8，狂砍35分10篮板12助攻。

Such a result undoubtedly reminded all the teams in the league that I basically don't shoot anymore, and I am no longer the same as before. You can't defend or you can't defend.

With Kidd's efficient performance and the filling of shortcomings, the Nets have also become an increasingly complete team.

At the beginning of the season, the Nets management initially planned to trade Kidd to completely rebuild. After all, it is also the trio of Kidd + Carter + Jefferson. They are called the Trident, but others are called the Big Three.

The Nets management is also extremely dissatisfied with the team's performance in recent years.

As a result, Kidd's operation was as fierce as a tiger. At the beginning of the season, the Nets were directly sent to the top three in the Eastern Conference, and they are still in the fourth position in the Eastern Conference until now.

"But in this way, the Nets will have to meet the Cavaliers in the semifinals!
They had the opportunity to go further, so it is a pity to fall at the feet of the Cavaliers. "

The groom said with a sigh.

It's just that with the Nets' current record of 35 wins and 25 losses, it's a bit whimsical to surpass the Bucks with such a fierce momentum.

And even if they fell to the fifth place, they also had to face the ending of the Cavaliers ahead of schedule in the second round.

"Unless they are sixth in the Eastern Conference!"

Kenny Smith and the groom are still guessing here, and later in a game where the Nets defeated the Mosaic.

Kidd said frankly to countless reporters: "The Nets will not deliberately avoid any opponent! We have our backbone!"

Carter, who had just lost to Zhao Hao in the slam dunk contest, also said confidently: "The Cavaliers are the Big Three, aren't we?
Why did everyone think they had won! "

The Magic, which is currently ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference, is very sad. Why are you sure that the Nets can pass us and enter the second round?

As for the opponents defeated by the Nets tonight, they also cannot escape the next question about the playoffs.

"Tracey, the Mosaic team. Is there any hope of making the playoffs?"

This season's Mosaic team announced in a high-profile manner that they would win the championship earlier than the Bucks and Yao Ming, and even threatened that the Bucks would not even make the playoffs this season.

As a result, the pretzels had to be picked up one by one by McGrady, and he was crying to death.

Who would have thought that his combination of Tracy McGrady + Michael Reed + Bogut + Xiao Mo would not even make the playoffs?

And the Mosaic team's bench lineup also includes Battier, Landry, Jackson.
Such a lineup still can't make the playoffs?
This is so showy!
The Mosaic team currently has a record of 30 wins and 30 losses, which happens to have a winning percentage of over 50%.

"The eastern team is a group of strong ones, but the western team is a group of strong ones!"

Although the two Big Three in the East now represent the league's top combat effectiveness, there are too many strong teams in the West.

What is the current record of the eighth Warriors in the Western Conference?
35 wins and 25 losses!
It has the same record as the fourth-ranked Nets in the Eastern Conference!
So let alone making the playoffs, the Mosaic team is still ranked No. 11 in the Western Conference. Let's squeeze the Kings with 32 wins and 28 losses first.

"But tonight the Mosaic team lost the game again!"

McGrady cried: "I averaged 36 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game this season, but I am the league's leading scorer! As a result, the team couldn't even make the playoffs!"

The reporter who interviewed opened his eyes wide and exclaimed: "It turns out that you are the current scoring leader this season!
I just said why Zhao Hao is not the scoring leader with an average of 33 points per game. It turns out that you are scoring points! "

Ok? !

McGrady was extremely unfriendly when he heard this sentence.

Meanwhile, Michael Reid clapped hands with Xiao Mo.

The average field goal percentage is only 40%, what is this called if it is not called scoring?
The Mosaic team originally planned to create a god after Yao Ming left, but they abruptly created a team cancer.

The locker room has long been spoiled by McGrady!
The game ends in February.

The Bucks continued to triumph in the next game, beating the Suns, Mavericks, Eagles and other playoff teams in succession.

而赵昊在全明星之后的比赛，得分数据为40、42、48、50、52
A series of high-scoring performances also made the scalps of other teams in the league tingle.

The man who beat all the teams in the league last season is back!
Celtics meeting room.

After learning that the Bucks won 5 consecutive victories after the All-Star Game, Angie panicked.

"This hairy man is still so powerful even if his Achilles tendon is broken?
Doug, what do you think our odds are against them in the playoffs? "

Rivers thought for a while, and after repeated deliberation, he said: "No one can guard against Zhao Hao, but our Pierce is also unstoppable, and the two are considered to be against each other.

Of course, there is no player in our team who can defend Yao Ming, but his physical strength is a problem because he is too heavy.

We can also consume him with speed.

And we also have Ray Allen and Lewis, which is something they can't solve.

In addition, the Bucks' bench garbage is so bad that the team doesn't want it, so I think it's 4:0!

We are enough to sweep the Bucks! "

Rivers is confident in that.

After all, during the regular season, they had the experience of teaching the Bucks.

It's just that Zhao Hao did scare him into a cold sweat at the last moment of that match, and he almost took the match away with a strong comeback alone.

If it weren't for the Bucks' bench players being too slow, let alone, Rivers even thinks that the dual-core Bucks are not weaker than their Big Three lineup.

Angie nodded quite satisfied, but the Cavaliers are still his confidant.

Judging from the current combat effectiveness of the Cavaliers, I am afraid that no team in the league is their opponent.

"So we can only do our best and obey the destiny, but as long as we can reach the Eastern Conference finals, even if we lose to the Cavaliers, we will not be ashamed.

But being overtaken by the Bucks in record is absolutely unacceptable to me! "

Rivers nodded understandingly.

"It seems that the battle of the Celtics is about to start!"

The regular season continues in March.

The teams in the league began to triumph.

In the west, the Lakers and Spurs are the most powerful. Kobe's 40+ consecutive performances seem to be talking to the hairy guy in the east.

Garnett averaged 25 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks per game that month, becoming the most terrifying double-double killer in the league.

The Spurs have a balanced offense and defense, and their bench strength is the best in the league. Ginobili's average performance of 19 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists has also become the No. [-] contender for the best sixth man.

In addition, the Hornets, Nuggets, and Suns are chasing after them. Iverson and Anthony have staged double 30+ performances many times in a row.

The Nuggets have finally completed their run-in and become the most powerful offensive duo in the league.

The competition in the East is a little bit weird.

The Bucks won 10 consecutive victories after the All-Star Game. With an average of 46 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists per game in the month, Zhao Hao directly became the new scoring leader in the league.

The squeezed McGrady: Why are you a hairy guy everywhere!
In fact, not only Zhao Hao, Kobe also overtook McGrady this month, and McGrady has now dropped to third place in the scoring list.

Facts have proved that as long as Zhao Hao and Kobe are willing, and even when Anthony and Iverson want to intervene, the scoring champion really has nothing to do with McGrady.

The Celtics obviously felt the pressure brought by the Bucks, so they also performed well in this month's game.

They only lost three games to the Cavaliers, Lakers, and Spurs, but they also achieved an excellent record of 12 wins and 3 losses that month.

"Although the Bucks also got 14 wins and 1 loss in the month, after all, there is an 8-game win difference with the Celtics. Judging from the only 4 games left in April, it may be difficult for the Bucks to achieve It's overtaken in the rankings."

Kenny Smith sighed.

The Bucks swept the league this month, bringing a different feeling to all fans.

I used to only know that the Bucks are an offensive team that is invincible in the league with explosive power, and no one can win their offensive team when it rains three-pointers.

But this month, the strength shown by the Bucks on the defensive end also blinded everyone's eyes.

He averaged 9 blocks per game, ranking second in the league, averaging 98 points per game against opponents, ranking sixth in the league, and averaging 8 steals per game, ranking third in the league.

In terms of defensive rebounds and defense efficiency, the Bucks also rank eighth in the league.

"More importantly, the overall defensive strength of the Bucks' bench players has ranked fourth in the league, only losing to strong bench teams like the Spurs, Celtics, Mosaics and Lakers."

Groom Albert can't help redefining the Bucks' rubbish bench players.

Although they are still the most trashy bunch in the league, their talents are still low, and their offense is mediocre, but their defense on the field is indeed very hard!
In addition to the Bucks and Celtics in the East, the most competitive teams are the fifth-ranked Magic and sixth-ranked Raptors.

Magic coach Stan Van Gundy: "The Raptors have Chris Bosh, Anthony Parker and TJ Ford, so they are also a stronger team. I think they deserve the No.5 in the East."

Raptors coach Sam Mitchell laughed and said: "Don't be funny, the big fat man, Warcraft Howard averaged 20 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks per game this season. This data is only a little worse than Garnett in scoring, and On the defensive end, Howard's contribution to a team is not even weaker than Garnett.

Garnett is now fourth on the MVP list, and Howard is sixth. With such a quasi-MVP player, shouldn't your Magic be fifth in the Eastern Conference? "

The performances of the Magic and Raptors are wonderful, but no one knows that they are all trying to avoid becoming fifth in the Eastern Conference, so they will meet the Cavaliers in advance.

So, not every team dares to be as fearless as the Nets.

Kidd also smiled contemptuously when he heard the news, and said to the reporter: "To avoid becoming fifth in the Eastern Conference, is it a good thing to be sixth in the Eastern Conference?

I don't even look at which team the sixth team in the Eastern Conference is most likely to face. Do you really treat that man as a sick cat? "

Stan Van Gundy smiled indifferently and said, "Isn't it that the sixth in the Eastern Conference will face the Bucks in the third in the Eastern Conference in the first round.

Zhao Hao is not a sick cat, but the Bucks have always been sick cats!

They've been rotten for decades, and it's rare that they still want to escape their fate this season? "

Milwaukee.

Looking at the current situation in the alliance, where the heroes in the west are rising together, and you play me and I play you in the east, Alice can't help but smile helplessly.

"We are being looked down upon!"

Cole accompanied Alice to the outside of the arena, looked at the crowd at the ticket office and stood in a long queue under heavy snow, and said, "That's why Milwaukee always needs heroes."

He is confident that the Bucks in the playoffs will surprise all teams.

The Bucks had confirmed their entry into the playoffs as early as the last game, so the first two games of the playoffs home tickets have already started selling in advance.

The fans in Milwaukee had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and the whole family came to the ticket office to buy tickets.

And the scene outside Bradley Arena is just the tip of the iceberg in Milwaukee.

Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile when he looked at the long queue outside the arena.

"You're our Milwaukee hero," the teenager yelled as he walked past him, accompanied by his mother.

The young mother smiled, and then said: "Wait until the playoffs to shout on the court."

A few men were careless with beers in their hands, singing and dancing to Zhao Hao.

"The Bucks are not a spectator in the playoffs this season!"

"We'll break through the first round, absolutely!"

A teenager wearing Zhao Hao's No. 24 Bucks jersey waved his hand to signal Zhao Hao to look over, then pointed to his girlfriend beside him and said, "Look at this Kobe No. 24 jersey on my girlfriend, isn't it pretty?

She also has James' number 23 jersey that she wears around at night, and I'm wearing your jersey."

After finishing speaking, the young man raised his eyebrows at Zhao Hao and made an expression that you understand.

A beggar came out from the ticket window, and tightly accepted the few cents left after buying the tickets. Seeing Zhao Hao was also at the side, the beggar smiled happily, showing that he was missing a few cents. The leaky front teeth of the mouth.

"Zhao Hao, Zhao Hao, you are NBA No.1!
Just today, just today! "
