Pick Westbrook

Chapter 448 Sudden Change
The Pelicans have played so well this season that they haven't even pictured a losing streak yet.

In the All-Star game, the Pelicans made an unprecedented five players into the All-Star lineup.

Chris Paul, Jimmy Butler, DeRozan, Anthony Davis and Antetokounmpo.

Looking through the entire history of the NBA, there have only been 30 teams with 3 All-Star members in a single season in the last 4 years.

They are the Lakers in the 97-98 season: O'Neal, Kobe, Eddie Jones, and Van Exel were successfully selected.

The Pistons in the 05-06 season: Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, Billups, and Hamilton were selected.

The Pelicans in the 13-14 season: Chris Paul, Kawhi Leonard, Jimmy Butler and Anthony Davis.

For the Pelicans in the 14-15 season, five players were successfully selected to the Western Conference All-Stars, which became a good story during the All-Star Weekend of the season.

It also made more and more teams start to be afraid of the Pelicans, and even extremely dissatisfied with their third luxury tax in the league.

What is even more surprising is that the leading scorer in the Pelicans is not their team leader Chris Paul, nor is it Anthony Davis, who was the FMVP of last season's Finals FMVP with both offense and defense, but the newly joined DeRozan.

DeRozan ranks fifth in the MVP list with an average of 27 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game. This is also the first time in his entire career that he has entered the top ten of the regular season MVP list.

And DeRozan's style of play is extremely retro, and he is the only player in the small ball era whose all offenses are concentrated in the middle distance. Fans jokingly call him New Orleans Jordan.

DeRozan, who has been kneaded in the East for many years, finally proved himself.

It's not that he is weak, and the Raptors are not weak, it's just that he meets James or Anthony every time by chance.

At the end of the regular season, the Pelicans ranked first in the Western Conference with 65 wins and 17 losses, and the Warriors ranked second with 64 wins and 18 losses.

After the two teams experienced a record-breaking matchup last season, they have been very restrained in their efforts to keep the lineup intact this season.

The Kings are third with 62 wins and 20 losses.

This is also the best record in the history of the Kings, breaking the 60-win mark for the second time.

But the best record in the league was taken away by the Cavaliers with 67 wins and 15 losses, and James won the regular season MVP again.

In the playoffs, the Pelicans eliminated the Spurs 4-0 without bloodshed. Duncan announced in a low-key manner after the game that next season will most likely be the last season of his career.

At the same time, Kobe, who missed the playoffs early, posted an article in the "Player Forum", announcing that he will also retire after the end of next season.

Later, Yao Ming of the Rockets also announced his retirement next season. The 35-year-old Yao Ming has suffered frequent injuries this season. It is difficult for Yi Jianlian to lead the Rockets out of the West.

Their management Dog Mo has announced that the Rockets will completely rebuild next season.

Although Yao Ming only brought the Rockets to the Western Conference semifinals at most, his total career data in the NBA has reached 786 games, with a total of 16247 points and 6494 rebounds, and his shooting percentage was 53%.

In the data performance of the entire career, all the media and commentators believe that Yao Ming has surpassed the top ten goalkeeper George McCann of the top ten centers in NBA history. There are 10156 balls.

The heroes of the three eras announced their upcoming retirement at the same time, which is tantamount to adding a lot of fantasy elements to the next season.

In the second round of the series, the Pelicans defeated the Clippers 4:1, while the Rockets and Warriors in the other round experienced a life-and-death tiebreaker.

With the Rockets holding a 3:1 lead, they were sent away by the Warriors with a strong comeback.

After this round of the series, the Warriors almost killed half their lives. In the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors were obviously affected by their physical strength and were defeated by the Pelicans 4:2.

The Pelicans have reached the finals for three consecutive years, and they are only one step away from achieving a three-peat dynasty.

Fans all over the world are talking about it!
The popularity of this round of the finals series has once again set a record for NBA viewing.

The newly formed Cavaliers also reached the finals, but in the Eastern Conference finals, Leonard was removed by Stoudemire of the Knicks and missed the finals.

In Game [-] of the Finals, Irving injured his ankle and will miss at least a week.

The Cavaliers staged the Jedi Seven, and only 7 people in the team can enter the rotation.

In the case of injuries to the Big Two, James led this group of characters to snatch two games from the Pelicans abruptly, but in the end it still fell short.

The Pelicans successfully defended their title 4:2 and achieved a three-peat dynasty.

At the moment when Chris Paul lifted the championship trophy, Li Lai couldn't help crying bitterly, and he finally made up for the regrets he had.

Li Lai, who held 5 championship rings and led a team to establish a dynasty, was directly added by the major media to the president of the NBA history coach, and the Zen master Phil Jackson, Popovich, and the fortune teller Pat Together with Riley, he is hailed as the greatest head coach of the new era.

In the long 60-year history of the NBA, he has kept the Celtics brilliant for 40 years, won 16 championships and countless brilliance Title, he carried forward a simple, tenacious, noble and stubborn spirit, and is the only head coach in NBA history who can be called a hero.

—The late legendary Arnold Jacob Auerbach.

"Popovich, Zen master Phil Jackson and magician Pat Riley have no chance of impacting this glory."

"Of the four coaches in the new era, only Li Lai has the chance to break the legend of Arnold Jacob Auerbach."

"The two are also very similar in their coaching styles. They are both good at coaching offense and defense at the same time."

"More importantly, Li Lai is only 30 years old this year!"

"In a blink of an eye, I'm already 30." Li Lai couldn't help but sigh.

Holloway's memory has been restored to the age of 18. According to the time calculation, she only needs 2 years at most to recall all the memories, and according to what she said now, she has recalled some sporadic memories about that organization, so there is a high probability of using A lot of information can be obtained in less than 2 years.

Li Lai originally hoped that the other party would think of everything naturally, so as to solve the death of his father and the secret of that organization.

However, the arrival of police officer Garcia changed everything suddenly.
