NBA backer king

Chapter 513

Chapter 513
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the team training was over. After Lao Wang rushed home and had dinner, he worked in the movie room for a long time and installed three TVs to show the Knicks, Celtics and Trail Blazers respectively.

He didn't turn on the sound, just watched the game screen.

As a result, after watching the first quarter, he turned off two TVs, and switched to the remaining one for the Sonics and Mosaic games.

There is no suspense, whether it is the Knicks, the Green Team, or the Trail Blazers, they all beat their opponents quite embarrassingly, and the advantage is too obvious.

However, he only watched the second quarter of the Supersonic and Mosaic game and turned off the TV.

Although the Supersonics do not have Kemp the Rainman, they are still strong and cannot be resisted by the old Barkley and Glider.

These two old guys, Barkley, are going to retire after this season. They both have two rings in their hands, so they have no motivation at all.

He thinks that there may be round after round of sweeping frenzy in the first round, and only after entering the second round can there be quite fierce competition.

He turned on the system and took a look. The regular season broke the historical record and rewarded [-] points.

On the 24th, the Lakers started their first round.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, when Lao Wang's car arrived at the Great Western Forum, he saw that the area was completely overwhelmed by Lakers fans.

Entering the arena, he first went to the visiting team's locker room and took a look at Dazhi.

"Da Zhi, the game should be tougher. Your confrontation ability is much stronger than before. Don't be afraid of confrontation. You can pull it out, but you must have some low-post offense, otherwise your efficiency will not be improved, and rebounds will not be guaranteed.

As a center with a height of 213 cm, without rebounds and efficiency, he is not competitive.When you practice shooting, you have to make some high-confrontation shots to improve your shot stability.

Also, in the game to come, if you get the chance to play, you will definitely lose, but don't let go of your personal chances. "

After talking a lot, he left the visiting team's locker room.

More than two hours later, he led the Lakers to beat the Kings.

实力相差悬殊,他只打了29分钟,轰下了25分11篮板4助攻2抢断4盖帽1失误1犯规的数据。

Kobe and Richmond got a lot of shots, with the former scoring 21 points and the latter scoring 23 points.

大至也得到了14分钟,5投2中,三分球3投1中,4罚3中,拿到了8分2篮板的数据。

Lao Wang was a little disappointed with Dazhi. When Dazhi was on the court, it was garbage time, and he had already come down. The Lakers' internal bench strength was mediocre. They were two marginal players, but Dazhi still floated outside to shoot three-pointers. How could this work?
Is it difficult to rush in and blast your two fringe inside teammates?If he can make himself play again, he will be on fire.

But he didn't plan to say anything more. The master led the door, and the practice was up to the individual. If it was this style, he couldn't change it.

Back in the locker room, I asked about the other three games.

In the West, the Jazz won the Timberwolves, the Eastern Pacers won the Cavaliers, and the Heat won the Eagles.

He called Lao Hu and asked about the situation.

Lao Hu was very excited. He also got a lot of opportunities in the playoffs. He played 30 minutes and played from the first position to the third forward. Obviously Larry Bird trusted him very much. He scored a total of 18 points and shot 44.5%, slightly lower than the regular season, which is not bad.

"Old Hu, you have a good three-pointer. If you have a chance, throw it away and try to make a big hit." Old Wang encouraged.

Old Hu is speechless, is Tie Jun trying to trick Pacers?

He feels that it is better to be more stable. If he can average 18 points per game in the playoffs and he jumps out of the contract, he will definitely be able to sign a very good contract.

"Your side is fine, but the other side is not good. That kid is a little soft and always floats outside. If he was in the Lakers, I wouldn't let him play for a minute. It might have been a waste of effort to get him here. He might develop better if he stays in the country. It is really possible that he will be delayed here." Old Wang said angrily.

Lao Hu said: "As far as playing well in China, there are also a lot of offense at the basket and low post. I don't know why I won't go in here."

"I'm afraid of confrontation!" Old Wang said.

In the next period of time, the first round continued, and the sweeping frenzy that Lao Wang expected in the first round appeared.

First, after the Knicks swept the Nets 3-[-], the Celtics lost the G[-] game because of too many outside shots and lost the opportunity to sweep the Hornets.

Then the Blazers swept the Suns, and the SuperSonics were forced to [-]-[-] by Mosaic, unable to complete the sweep.

Next, the Lakers completed a sweep of the Kings, and the Jazz also swept the Timberwolves.

Half of the teams have completed the sweep, which is indeed a sweeping frenzy. The one-sided series has affected the ratings, which is also a consequence of too many super teams.

Fortunately, the next round will be very intense, and the league and team owners are not too worried.

The first round ends on the 30th, and the second round will start on the 3rd and 4th.

East, Knicks vs Celtics, Pacers vs Heat.

In the West, the Lakers are against the Jazz, and the Trail Blazers are against the Supersonics.

On the 28th, after the Suns were swept, the team and Lightning Kevin Johnson held a press conference to announce their official retirement.

Lao Wang called Lightning and asked, "Kevin, when are you coming to Los Angeles?"

"Soon, before the second round, I will call you." Kevin Johnson laughed.

"That's fine, you can stay at my house when you come. In addition, I have someone find a house for you in San Francisco. When the time comes, you and your family can move in directly." Old Wang said.

After the Lightning retires, he will go to the University of California, Berkeley, his alma mater, in San Francisco.

"Thank you, old K!" Lightning laughed.

"Kevin, don't forget to take care of me when you become mayor, governor, and president! There is also our K Times Trading Company, which will give you some protection policies. Let me tell you first, if you become mayor, I will give you three points for my [-]% of the company's shares. If you become governor, you will get six points. If you become president, you will get all ten points." Lao Wang joked.

"Haha, old K, you have money. When it comes time for the election, you can just donate some money to me." Lightning also teased.

"That's no problem." Old Wang smiled.

That night, Lao Wang finished a medicated oil massage, and his anti-injury ability was raised to level 99.

On May 5, ESPN announced the latest prediction data on the probability of winning.

次轮四组球队分别是湖人23%与爵士22%,尼克斯23%与凯尔特人5%,开拓者23%与超音速1%,步行者2%与热火1%。

Different from the predictions before the first round, last time the Lakers were the highest. This time the Lakers, the Knicks, and the Trail Blazers were each 23%, and the Jazz was as high as 22%. This means that ESPN is quite optimistic about the strength of the four teams.

However, the probability difference between the Lakers and the Jazz is only 1%, which means that ESPN believes that the chances of the two teams reaching the Western Conference Finals are almost evenly divided.

As for the Knicks and Celtics, as well as the Trail Blazers and Supersonics, ESPN's forecast data very straightforwardly show everyone that they are extremely optimistic about the Knicks and Trail Blazers reaching the Eastern Conference Finals and Western Conference Finals, and they are extremely pessimistic about the Celtics and Supersonics.

In addition, the two teams, the Pacers and the Heat, in the eyes of ESPN, have become rookies pecking each other. No matter who makes it to the Eastern Conference Finals, they all go in and give away their heads.

This forecast data made the Celtics angry, and even the Supersonics, as well as the Pacers and Heat.

The Celtics have a super center like David Robinson, and there are no injuries. The last time there was 7%, this time they only have a 5% chance of winning. Even David Robinson couldn't help it. When facing the media, he complained that ESPN's prediction data was extremely ridiculous.

This time, Danny Ainge stood up again and mocked ESPN in the face of the media, saying: "Even if I randomly find a fan on the street, their prediction results are much more accurate than ESPN's prediction data in the past few seasons.

They have never been optimistic about the old K, and they have never been optimistic about the Suns, but the old K led the Suns to defeat their extremely optimistic Bulls three times and win the championship. This is the unprofessional nature of ESPN. "

After the green team, the other three teams with either a 1% or 2% chance of winning the championship also had someone stand up and express their attitude.

The supersonic speed with only a 1% chance of winning the championship, Gary Payton bombarded ESPN when facing the media, and also questioned its professionalism, saying: "I think ESPN can ask my 80-year-old grandma to work for them, because my grandma's prediction results are much more accurate than their professionals."

The same data is only 1% for the Heat. Alonzo Mourning said in an interview with the media: "I think ESPN is a little crazy. Fortunately, the league never gave them the rights to broadcast the finals. This is right. We need a more professional media to broadcast our finals."

Pacers, Ewing still did not stand up, Reggie Miller was interviewed by the media as the leader of the team, and directly burst into foul language, saying in a trash-talking way:
"Whose ass is being licked by the media, everyone knows that. This time is different from previous years. They only licked Jordan's ass a few years ago, but after a few years of licking, they found that they licked the wrong one and licked a mouthful of shit, so now they decided to lick a few more asses at once. The only regret is that they didn't pay attention to my and Patrick's ass. It's a pity that I even smeared honey on the ass."

"Ha ha……"

When Lao Wang read Reggie Miller's interview from the Indiana Daily, he collapsed from laughter.

ESPN was quite embarrassed by the words of Danny Ainge and Reggie Miller, forcing their NBA editor-in-chief Kyrie Roger to stand up for media interviews.

Roger is the person in charge of predicting the probability of winning. He defended: "I regret that the Celtics only have a 5% chance of winning, but I think Mr. Angie and Mr. Robinson should analyze our predicted probability and find out why we think they only have 5%.

Yes, let me tell them now that the main lineup of the Green Team has serious shooting habits, and it is not alone. To be honest, giving them a 5% chance is because of David Robinson and the Green Team's not bad defense.

And the green team has a more serious problem. There is no real leader in the locker room, and there is no real core on the field. David Robinson, Antoine Walker, and Jason Kidd fight each other, forming a troika. They did not form a whole. "

After talking about the Celtics, he talked about the Pacers again, saying: "Mr. Reggie Miller is very angry, but I don't think our predictions are wrong. 2% is suitable for them. The reason is very simple. After Patrick Ewing came back, his state has declined. Everyone knows this. Even if such a King Kong eliminates the Heat and enters the Eastern Conference Finals, how can he face Shaquille O'Neal?"

Finally, he talked about the Heat and the Supersonics in a mocking tone, saying: "The Heat are very sad even for the Pacers. The floor of the Eastern Conference Finals is very likely to be untouchable. Even if they make it to the Eastern Conference Finals, can Mourning still beat O'Neal and Michael? I don't know what's wrong with giving them a 1% chance?
As for the Sonics, you are facing the Trail Blazers. You are the team with the most disparity in strength and opponents among the four teams in the second round. You should know this. Isn't 1% suitable?I bet you are likely to get swept in the second round. "

Roger's words are very stimulating.

The Supersonics were furious. When Gary Payton saw the news at home, he immediately yelled: "Damn guy, he actually thinks we will be swept away by the Blazers? This son of a bitch!"

Pacers, as the team's head coach and general manager, Larry Bird was also very angry, but he didn't stand up and say anything.

He is very clear that Ewing's strength has indeed declined, and the Pacers should have no problem eliminating the Heat, but after reaching the Eastern Conference Finals, Reggie Miller is not Jordan's opponent, Ewing is not O'Neal's opponent, and may have to fall under Jordan's hands again.

Danny Ainge, on the other hand, paid attention to Roger's words. Of course, he knew the team's situation very well. He knew that Antoine Walker and Kidd like to shoot wildly. This is indeed one of the weaknesses of the Green Team.

But David Robinson is not old K. Old K can overwhelm Kidd in the Suns. In the Green Team, the Admiral has no such authority at all. He can't even deal with the big bug Rodman in the Spurs.

In fact, Danny Ainge is very clear that something is wrong with this team now. The troika of the team is at the head of each other, and they can't do anything effectively, and they may fall into a split.

The original star Antoine Walker wanted to continue to be the boss of the team. He refused to accept the newcomers David Robinson and Kidd.

Kidd, the brain of the team, was severely suppressed by Old K in the Suns, and he was the only one among the three who won the championship, so he wanted to be the boss. When he came to the Green Team, he let himself go.

As for David Robinson, he is the core in the Spurs, and the core set by the management and coaching staff in the Green Team, but Walker and Kidd refuse to accept him. Whether it is on the field or in the locker room, the core status exists in name only.

Danny Ainge has a headache, and now ESPN has given him a warning. If the relationship between the three is not handled properly, the Green Team may follow in the footsteps of the Mavericks.

He immediately called the three of them separately and wanted to have a private talk with them. The purpose was to solve the problems between the three of them, at least temporarily.

Whether he can achieve his goal, he doesn't know, but he has to try.

It was Kidd who saw it first. After the meeting, the two exchanged a few pleasantries. He said, "Jason, you know the current situation of the team. Do you think that Roger, the editor-in-chief of ESPN, is right?"

Kidd fell silent, and then Angie said again: "Do you want the Green Team to be in the same state as the Mavericks before the disintegration?"

Kidd was taken aback, and secretly sighed in his heart.

Angie added: "You also know now that we are not favored by others. If we play too badly this time, the three of you will all be ridiculed and accused by the media.

If the three of you can't work together and achieve each other, you will become a joke in the league. No team will trust you in the future, and your future teammates will no longer trust you. You will lose the possibility of becoming a superstar, because you will only fight among yourself.

Especially you, Jason Kidd, you were infighting with the Mavericks, and you were infighting with the Greens. If I was forced to trade you, what do you think would happen to you?
Let me tell you now, what will happen to you, there is only one result, you will become a cancer, a cancer that no one dares to rely on. "

"cancer?"

Angie's tone was quite severe, directly pointing out the most serious consequences, which greatly shocked Kidd.

"Yes, cancer." Danny Angie nodded.

He had discussed this issue with the three of them a long time ago, but it had no effect. The three of them turned a deaf ear to it. Now that the second round is about to start, there is no time to linger with them.

He has decided that if the three cannot join forces in the second round, then he will start in the offseason and break up the troika lineup.

Don't blame him for being cruel, that's all he can do.

Then he said seriously: "But now you still have a chance to join forces with the two of them to play the true strength of our green team. We have offense and defense is not bad. As long as you join forces and don't waste shots, then we will Strong enough to beat anyone, including the Knicks, you know.

Jason, don't you want to prove yourself the right way?In fact, old K doesn't like you, otherwise why would he rather take Kobe, a rookie, than take you to the Lakers? "

"Old K?"

Kidd clenched his fists and said unhappily, "I don't want to play with old K."

Although he won a championship in the Suns, he was also overwhelmed by the old K. He had no possession of the ball, no shots, and only half of his organizational functions.

"Now it's not whether you want to or not. It's because he doesn't like you. No.1 in active service, even No.1 in history, he doesn't like you. His attitude, no doubt, will have a great impact on you." Danny Ainge said coldly.

At the critical moment, he had to use Wang Tiejun, an external force, to settle the conflicts within the team.

Kidd snorted angrily, he knew that Danny Ainge was using old K to stimulate him, but he chose this way, since old K didn't like him, he had to become stronger, he had better lead his team to defeat old K's Lakers, and let old K see how good he is.

After sending Kidd away, Danny Ainge was relieved.

One of the most critical people has been settled, and Kidd is in control of the ball. As long as he is willing to cooperate with the other two, the conflict between the three should be resolved to a large extent.

In fact, David Robinson has the least conflict. His greatest expectation is the championship. With his strength and status, if he wins the championship, no one will think that he is not the core of the Green Team. He does not have to compete with the other two at all.

So Danny Ainge called Antoine Walker over and communicated with him. As long as Fat Toutuo is dealt with, the conflict within the team should be quelled.

"Antoine, Jason said just now that he would cooperate with you and pass the ball to you as long as you have the opportunity. As for your consideration, I hope you put it aside for now and talk about it after the playoffs. What do you think? Your situation is also very dangerous now. The media doesn't like you, doesn't believe you, and thinks you have provoked internal strife in the team..."

Facing Fat Toutuo, Danny Angie also gave him a stick and a date, threatened and encouraged, and after applying pressure, he gave some hope, which made Antoine Walker frightened. He was afraid that Danny Angie would trade him, so he had to agree.

He didn't want to be traded and sold off, and his value would drop sharply. If he wanted to trade, it was best to apply for it himself.

After the two were settled, Danny Angie was completely relieved, and called David Robinson to inform him of the result. The admiral was extremely happy.

The green team is resolving the infighting among the troika, and the Supersonics, Pacers, and Heat are also mobilizing separately, hoping to brighten ESPN's eyes with their super-explosive performance in the second round.
