Chapter 961 Walker Iversonization
“This is a season that has been recorded in history.”
Tnt and espn both used this title to describe the past regular season.
As they said, there were 6 super teams at the same time and there were two players who averaged triple-double, which was the season that was recorded in history.
Of course, there is also a highly anticipated playoffs.
With the regular season rankings determined, the East-West playoffs matches have also been released.
On the east side.
Cavaliers vs. Heat.
This is the most talked about match in the first round of the Eastern Conference.
Wade and James, old friends, James and Whiteside are both former Heat players...
For the Heat, they stumbled and entered the playoffs with the last consecutive win, but they had to face the strongest team in the East.
Knicks vs Pacers.
Anthony and George are a showdown between two top small forwards in the league.
With David West and Hibert's team members leaving, the Pacers are no longer as brave as they were, and George's future for the Pacers is bleak.
If there is no breakthrough this year, George will likely leave Indiana, who trains him after the contract is over.
Raptors vs. Hornets.
This is the second consecutive season between the two sides in the playoffs. The Raptors' trash brothers need to prove themselves, and so does Walker.
Especially after playing a peak season, his playoff performance will directly determine his next contract.
Whether the Hornets can make it into the second round is likely to determine Walker's final stay or not.
Eagles vs Bucks.
Antetokounmpo scored the fastest improvement in player-level performance.
The young man who had envious eyes at Tang Tian on the sidelines is growing rapidly, but he still needs to prove more.
This side of the west.
Rockets vs. Mavericks.
The Cavaliers and the Heat in the East are the most talked about in the first round, while the Rockets and the Mavericks are the most popular group.
There are five super teams in the West, which means that two of them will definitely encounter in the first round. In the end, the Rockets and the Mavericks, the two favorites to win the championship, encountered ahead of schedule.
One is the main player of superstars, the other is the All-Star team, and it is possible for anyone to win in the end.
Spurs vs. Trail Blazers.
The Trail Blazers continued to play efficient seasons with double guns, but they are undoubtedly victims of super teams, and it is also a bit of a disaster to compete with the Spurs in the first round.
Warriors vs. Clippers.
Griffin suffered injuries this season and was in a sluggish state after returning, and the Clippers also had little hope to break through the Warriors.
Pelicans vs Thunder.
The scenes of the two teams playing against each other in the regular season are still vivid. If the fans are not satisfied with it, then the entire series will be presented to them now.
With two days left before the start of the playoffs, the Pelicans ranked first in the league and have a home advantage over all teams.
They were spared the trouble of driving and took a break for two days, preparing for the playoffs that were about to arrive.
"Thunder, Tang, it seems that your true and false topics will continue."
In the first training class after the regular season, Boyang was joking about Tang Tian.
"He doesn't care about that anymore."
Before Tang Tian could speak, Dior said from the side.
Tang Tian glanced at Dior and pointed at him with a smile.
Sure enough, the old guy knows him.
The Pelicans are determined to defend their title this season, and it doesn't matter who the opponent in the first round is.
Saying it out is a show of being a good person, but not saying it out, the first round is to find their status for them.
In fact, after playing this season, he was thinking about a question: Will his always-on possession rate hurt the team?
Although the data is good, MVP selection will also gain the upper hand.
But this season, Jokic's regression can be seen by the naked eye, and Davis's stopping is not only related to his high ball holding.
He is indeed the strongest in the team, and he is also the most efficient way to play with the ball, but basketball is a five-person sport after all, and the first round is an opportunity to adjust.
The playoffs have not officially started yet, and the league announced the two earliest awards of the season at this time.
One is the best head coach.
The results showed that Cole received 31% of the vote, defeating Stevens and Lou, and successfully being elected as the best coach of the season.
This is also the first time he was elected in his coaching career.
From his debut to leading the team to winning the championship, to leading the team to winning 73 wins, Cole's performance in the past two years has been getting better every year, but he just can't win the best head coach.
This season he finally got what he wanted.
However, in addition to his own performance, he is also thanks to Stevens.
After all, the latter was elected last season and will basically be automatically filtered this season.
Otherwise, with the Pelicans' record of 70 wins, Stevens would be the one who was finally elected.
But no matter what, the Warriors spent three seasons and finally won the honors that the Pelicans received in one season.
The Best Head Coach is in the Bay Area, and the Fastest Progress Award is in Milwaukee.
Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo was elected this award without any suspense with his outstanding performance and more than 50% of the votes.
But this is obviously just the beginning for him. James, the big number, is aiming to hit history and the position of the first player in the Tangtian League.
Cole and Antetokounmpo both chose to present awards at the opening game of the playoffs.
They obviously hope to continue the "Awards Law" created by Tang Tian at the Spurs to create a good start for the playoffs.
Two days later, the playoffs officially started.
The Knicks Pacers in the East, the Raptors and Hornets, the Pelicans and Thunder in the West, and the Rockets and Mavericks took the lead in the four teams.
The Raptors and Hornets started at the earliest, with the Pelicans and the Thunder at the end.
The happiest thing at this time is the fans, four playoffs a day, and there are games every day.
The Pelicans' training ended early, and Tang Tian also watched the Raptors and Hornets' first game with Davis in the locker room.
The Raptors have Lowry and DeRozan, as well as Ibaka and Valanciunas, but the Hornets have only one Batum with a significant premium besides Walker.
In terms of paper strength, the Hornets have no chance of winning.
However, after the game started, the scene was different from what fans imagined.
In the first half, the Raptors led the Hornets by 50-35. Lowry and DeRozan scored 25 points together, and everything was as expected by the outside world.
But in the second half, the situation suddenly changed, and the Hornets' Walker suddenly fell into a rampage, and the Raptors were completely lost by his sudden shot and defensive counterattack.
During the Hornets' counterattack, Lowry and DeRozan both were invisible.
Walker scored 20 points in this quarter, and the Hornets also slid the gap in one quarter.
In the final quarter, Walker continued to perform bravely and eventually led the Hornets to defeat the Raptors 93-83, successfully completing the following draws.
The garbage brothers performed as usual, with 25 points in the first half and only 10 points in the second half.
Walker scored 43 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, and no one could stop him.
"Kemba played like Iverson in this game. We will definitely be very good when we play with him."
