I'm really good at shooting.

Chapter 452 The score list that we relish talking about (5K update!)

In addition to the rankings, there is also a list that attracts attention this season.

In the prosperous age of scorers, the list is naturally the score list.

The scoring list of this year in history is talked about by fans of later generations.

Sun Hao's time travel produced some butterfly effects, but it didn't change this phenomenon.

The scoring list is as follows:

ranking, name, team, score

1. Sun Hao, Lakers, 33.3 points;

2. Iverson, 76ers, 33 points;

3. James, Nuggets, 31.7 points;

4. Kobe, Lone Ranger, 30.6 points;

5. Arenas, Magic, 29.3 points;

6. Wade, Heat, 28.1 points;

7. Pierce, Celtics, 26.6 points;

8. Yao Ming, Wizards, 25.6 points;

9. Reed, Bucks, 25.4 points;

10. Ray Allen, Supersonics, 25.1 points;

11. Stoudemire, Suns, 25 points;

12. Elton Brand, Clippers, 24.7 points;

13. Carter, Nets, 24.2 points;

14. Anthony, Pistons, 24.1 points;

15. Antawn Jamison, Warriors, 23.2 points;

16. McGrady, Wizards, 23.1 points;

……

Four of them scored more than 4 points, and the top 30 scored more than 16 points per game.

Before the second offense was adjusted to 14 seconds, this was something unthinkable in any era.

It's no wonder why fans admire this year so much.

And although history has changed, Kobe went to the Lone Ranger and failed to do things like 7 consecutive games of 40+, 62 points in three quarters, and 81 points in a single game.

But all of this was actually done by Sun Hao.

So history has changed, but what happened this year has not disappeared.

In other words, this is still the most classic year in NBA history.

Such statistics also make fans look forward to this year's playoffs.

If you want to know that this situation is analogous to history, it is the era when all heroes rise together.

Like the Three Kingdoms, or the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, people will never tire of reading these histories, let alone being in them.

The playoffs are about to begin, and as in previous years, the NBA announced the ownership of the first batch of awards at this time.

The Most Improved Award went to David West of the Hornets.

West averaged only 6.2 points and 4.3 rebounds per game last season, but this season he averaged 17.1 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, and became the new twin stars of the Hornets with Deron.

What is very interesting is that both James and Sun Hao got votes in the selection of this award, and James' vote rate even ranked fourth.

Of course, they are more like "joining in the fun".

The most improved award is well deserved, but the selection of the best head coach is somewhat unexpected.

The practice in previous years is that the coach of the team with the most improved record wins the best head coach.

Like last year, D'Antoni beat Phil Jackson to be elected the best head coach.

By that standard, Nuggets head coach George Karl's hopes are high this year.

But in the end, it was not Carl but Carlisle.

Carlisle won the best head coach trophy again after four years!

However, a careful analysis reveals that this result is actually reasonable.

It is one aspect that the Nuggets have not improved as much as the Suns did last year;

On the other hand, although the Wizards' record has not improved much, the competitiveness they have shown is not the same as last season.

The difference between the championship team and the favorite team is only two words, but it is very different.

So in the end, there were not many voices who questioned it, but the Lakers fans felt sorry for Phil Jackson.

If you want "Zen Master" to win the second best head coach trophy in his career, you can only rely on the Lakers players to continue to work hard next season.

In addition to the two awards officially issued by the league, ESPN's playoff predictions this year are also of particular interest.

In their latest predictions, the top three teams with the highest probability of winning are: Wizards, Mavericks and Pistons.

The defending champion Lakers only ranked fourth in this list.

"Shaq and Sun are still irresistible, but Shaq's injury is a huge hidden danger. Once he is absent, the performance of the Lakers' role players will decline sharply. This has been proven during the season.

And while we applaud Sun's 62 points and 81 points in a single game, we cannot ignore the fact that the Lakers did not win easily in those two games, which also shows the importance of Shaq. "

ESPN sent real experts this time, and this analysis fully quotes the performance of the Lakers this season.

Even considering that O'Neal missed the playoffs last year due to injury, it is well-founded and convincing.

On April 4, after two days of rest, the playoffs officially kicked off.

As in the past, on this day, the first and fourth teams in the upper half of the East and West will play against their opponents one after another, and the Eastern Conference will be given priority.

According to the previous matchups, the order of the four games on this day is: Magic VS Heat, Wizards VS Bulls, Lakers VS Spurs, Mavericks VS Warriors.

After the day's training session, Sun Hao and O'Neill sat on the sidelines to rest and chat as usual.

"They all underestimated us."

After taking a sip of wolfberry tea, O'Neill turned to Sun Hao and said.

Since Walker asked Sun Hao about wolfberry tea last time, this new "functional drink" has been passed from person to person within the Lakers.

Up to now, everyone has a thermos cup and a cup of wolfberry tea.

"That's a good thing. It feels better to be a dog and win."

"Downdog" is a common term in the American NFL, which refers to the side that is looked down upon when two teams play against each other.

Correspondingly, the favored side is the "upper dog".

"It's a pity that it's the media that look down on us, not our opponents. If Popovich thinks we're easy to play, that's a great thing."

Sun Hao said with a smile.

The Spurs, or the Spurs, this is the Nth time he has played against the Spurs in his career.

In the Great Western Conference at the beginning of the century, as long as they entered the playoffs, playing the Spurs was almost impossible to escape.

And years of fighting has also let him know how difficult Popovich and the Spurs are, so what he said was just a joke.

"Why don't I find the media later and say that my toes hurt? Maybe I won't be able to make it to the first game?"

O'Neal thought for a while and said.

Sun Hao was stunned for a moment.

O'Neill is playing 36 tricks, and he has to hide it!

"It's...not impossible."

He then nodded, thinking about it, O'Neill's flash of ideas is actually quite good.

Popovich is scheming, and playing smoke bombs with him can be regarded as reciprocating the other's way.

"Are you serious?"

O'Neill originally said it casually.

"Soldiers, deceitful ways, false and true, true and false, he believes we gain, and we don't believe we don't lose."

Sun Hao continued.

O'Neill nodded seriously after thinking for a while.

But then he said something that made Sun Hao spit.

"I'm a fucking genius!"

"Yes, you can consider becoming a coach after you retire."

Sun Hao said with a cooperative smile.

"That sounds really good, let that kid Kobe play for me."

O'Neill looked serious.

"Ahem, let's continue talking about the game tonight."

Sun Hao was afraid that O'Neill would really go nowhere, so he hurriedly changed the subject.

"The Spurs have nothing to say. They are already acquainted with us like a couple. I know what she is going to do when I turn around."

"what?"

"Fart."

"puff!"

Sun Hao knows that O'Neill has a lot of humor, but it's really too much.

"Compared to playing against them, I am more concerned about our opponents in the next round. This year's Dallas is not very easy to play."

O'Neill looked very serious.

Although he said that he wanted to ease the relationship with Kobe, there was no suitable opportunity, and the relationship between the two did not change much from before.

This also means that every fight between them will be a "life and death game".

The performance of the Mavericks this year is obvious to all. Even if the Lakers are fully integrated, they can't say that they are absolutely sure.

"What if they don't make it to the second round?"

Sun Hao said with a smile.

"Not in the second round? Impossible!"

O'Neill shook his head immediately after speaking.

"Even if Steve Nash is in the Warriors, I don't think they have many chances, let alone the current lineup, winning a game is an extraordinary performance."

"Shaq, the playoffs are not about lineups. We all know this. You should notice that Don is the former head coach of Dallas. He is very familiar with Dirk and the Mavericks."

Sun Hao continued.

"No, it's still impossible. In front of absolute strength, what you said is useless. Although I don't like Kobe, if you say that Gardek can't even win the Warriors, that's bullshit."

O'Neill vowed.

"How about we make a bet?"

Sun Hao suddenly possessed Barkley.

In fact, he is not absolutely sure. After all, although this Warriors team is very similar to the Golden State gang in history, there are also differences.

And as O'Neal said, the Mavericks have Kobe.

I usually complain about it, but Kobe's absolute strength is there.

But this is where the fun of betting is. The kind of betting that knows the result by relying on the open eye is actually very boring. On the contrary, the kind of betting that does not know the result is really interesting.

"What are you gambling?"

"bet……"

"Wait, you can bet on anything, but you can't bet on me losing weight."

Sun Hao was stunned for a moment, this is what he wanted to bet on.

"Then what are you betting on?"

O'Neill blocked his words in advance, so he could only ask back.

"Well, let's bet on a Porsche."

O'Neill is really full of pride.

But what O'Neill didn't expect was that Sun Hao nodded directly.

"If I win, my garage will be rich again."

Sun Hao continued.

He doesn't have a hobby of collecting shoes, but he still has a hobby of collecting cars.

The Ferrari that Jordan gave him looks great right there, and a Porsche would be nice too.

And it doesn't make sense to buy a car by yourself. If a car has a story, it will be very interesting.

"I'm different, I have to make a new parking space."

O'Neill showed no sign of weakness either.

Sun Hao laughed and patted O'Neill on the shoulder after listening.

Both of them have great confidence in themselves.

It's a small gamble, a Porsche is nothing to them now.

The time difference between the east and the west of the United States is nearly three hours. In the afternoon of western time and the evening of eastern time, the game between the Magic and the Heat officially kicked off as the opener of the playoffs.

These two teams, because of Sun Hao's crossing, have undergone tremendous changes from the same period in history.

The Magic are now a dual core inside Arenas and Howard, supplemented by Grant Hill, Turkoglu, Stevenson and other outstanding role players.

Of course, as mentioned above, Hill's injury at the end of the season hit them hard.

On the Heat's side, because there was no O'Neal transaction in history, the team is now the trident team of Wade, Odom and Caron Butler.

Facts have proved that without O'Neal, Wade still played very well, and the Heat are still a very competitive team in the East.

After the game started, the Magic quickly established a lead.

The biggest reason lies in their inside advantage. The Heat's trident is somewhat similar to the Nets. The outside line is strong enough, but the inside line is weak.

The Heat's regular-season rebounding leader is Odom as a power forward.

But obviously, you can't let Odom go against Howard.

And with Arenas as a partner, Howard's growth rate is much faster than in history.

The final result of the game also verified the basketball style of "inside is king" at the beginning of the century.

The Magic defended their home court with a 18-38 victory over the Heat despite Wadey scoring 101 points on 91 free throws from outside the field.

For the Magic, Howard had a large double-double with 16 points and 22 rebounds, while Arenas scored 31 points.

In addition, Turkoglu also had 16 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.

Hill's absence due to injury allowed Turkoglu to assume greater responsibility. In a sense, the Magic were a blessing in disguise.

After the game between the Magic and the Heat, the Wizards and the Bulls followed.

Because it was relatively close to the start of his own game, Sun Hao didn't have time to watch the game, and only knew the result of the game before the start of the game on his side.

96:91.

The score of the game was amazing.

The Bulls lost only 5 points to the Wizards!

There is a reason why McGrady played abnormally and only made 22 of 7 shots.

But at the same time, it has something to do with the magic of the Bulls.

In the first playoff game of his career, Paul scored 16 points, 15 assists and 4 steals.

Driven by him, Yi Jianlian also had an outstanding performance of 27 points and 9 rebounds.

Of course, Chandler's support of Yao Ming is also indispensable, as well as the amazing 17 points scored by Granger on the bench.

If it weren't for the misfiring outside in the last period, the Bulls might really be upset.

But even if they lost, the Bulls left the Verizon Center with their heads held high.

The Bulls fans who played this game have only one feeling in their hearts: the future can be expected!

After these two games are over, the game in the West is long overdue.

After watching the two Eastern Conference games, the fans immediately turned their attention to the Western Conference.

Even the ratings of the major sports media have risen by a large margin.

This is largely due to Sun Hao and the Lakers game;

Another part of the reason is because the Lakers are playing the Spurs, everyone knows that this is the highlight of the first round of the playoffs.

When the Lakers players showed up on the field, there were cheers one after another.

The defending champions, they can't wait to see the scene of the Lakers defending their title.

Of course, many fans focused their attention on O'Neal.

During the day today, O'Neal said in an interview that his toes were a little sore, which made them feel worried, and even worried that O'Neal would miss the game in the first round.

It wasn't until they saw O'Neal taking off his training clothes and warming up on the court that their worries subsided a lot.

On the other end of the court, Popovich's eyes have also been on O'Neal.

O'Neal and Sun Hao, no matter which one is missing, the Lakers are a completely different team.

If O'Neal is really fighting with injuries, it will not only be great news for the Spurs, but also have a great impact on the Spurs' tactical arrangements.

"Monty, do you think Shaq is hurt?"

Popovich looked around and was still unsure, so he turned and asked his assistant coach Monty Williams.

"I can't see it either, but with Shaq's character, I think he's a little bit."

Williams is a gentle and refined coach. Many of his judgments come from experience, which is why Popovich will ask him.

Popovich nodded thoughtfully.

The O'Neill he knows is really not good at telling lies.

At this time, the warm-up before the game was about the same, and the Spurs players came off the field.

"Let's adjust our tactics."

After everyone got together, Popovich took out the tactical board.

On the other side, Sun Hao was also preparing to walk to the bench.

But at this moment, someone stopped him.

Buckley.

"I want to come back again."

The first sentence Barkley met made Sun Hao laugh.

"I have a present for you."

Barkley had met face-to-face, and knew that time was tight at the moment, so he directly expressed his intention.

Sun Hao looked at him curiously.

I saw Buckley take out a... car model from his pocket.

"That guy Kenny provoked me with Michael, and I promised that guy would give you a Ferrari too. Look, I've brought you a car. I think you won't mind the size."

Barkley had an expression that I am shameless and invincible.

Sun Hao laughed happily after listening.

Barkley is Barkley, you can't accept the showy operation.

"No, I like it."

After carefully looking at the model of the car, Sun Hao said from the bottom of his heart.

This is a car model of Ferrari ENZO, the price will not be too cheap on the one hand, the key is that this thing is also difficult to get.

Barkley must have thought about it too.

"Did you hear that? Kenny, I said I knew Sun better than you, and I won!"

Barkley yelled triumphantly into the camera.

It's obviously part of TNT's programming.

Sun Hao patted Barkley on the shoulder with a smile, handed the car model to the staff not far away, and then went to listen to the tactical arrangements with other team members.

The scene quickly entered the opening ceremony, and the starters of the two teams were released one after another.

The Spurs have Parker, Ginobili, Bowen, Duncan, Nesterovic.

For the Lakers, Payton, Sun Hao, Ariza, Walker, O'Neal.

In the cheers of Los Angeles fans, O'Neal dialed the ball back to the Lakers half, officially opened the curtain of the Lakers playoffs this year.
