Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 560 Jordan’s father-son showdown!
With the end of the first-round playoff game between the Celtics and the 76ers, the first round of the NBA playoffs is also over.

In the East, the No. 4 Bobcats easily swept the Chicago Bulls 0-. This was a series matchup without any suspense. The Bulls were not aiming for victory and fought hard to reach the playoffs in the eighth place, just to welcome their basketball god in the playoffs and cheer for their basketball god to find his love again, that's all.

The second-ranked Celtics in the Eastern Conference defeated the seventh-ranked 4ers 3-76 with great difficulty. In this series, the 76ers' star inside player Embiid came to the NBA in a strong manner and almost defeated the Celtics. Although the Celtics won in the end, Embiid was really just a little bit of luck away from completing a miracle like Coach D. However, in the end, Embiid was still unable to defeat God like Coach D did. He lost to God and to luck. Luck is very important in basketball games.

In the history of the NBA, only Coach D has repeatedly won the game under extremely unfortunate circumstances and when God was on his side time and time again.

Embiid's final failure is very regrettable, but it also allows many people to see Embiid's potential. If luck is a kind of strength, Embiid does not have the absolute strength of Coach D now, so in the future, many people are willing to believe that Embiid has such strength.

In this series, the magical Monty showed the world his superior strength, but Embiid was the final winner. He had not played in the regular season and had been lying down for two years. However, he relied on crazy PUA of the Celtics in the playoffs, which made his popularity catch up with and even surpass Jokic and Wiggins.

If a player wants to win honors in the NBA regular season, to put it simply, if he wants to win the MVP, first of all, he has to make the people who are eligible to vote think that he is already a superstar and a player who is qualified to be the best in the league.

Embiid's performance in this series has put him on the list of candidates for the best player in the NBA and the MVP list.

Many gifted players spend three or four years working hard to upgrade their reputation step by step, but Embiid accomplished it in just one series.

It's enviable, but it's not enough to envy him. In the history of the NBA, Embiid is the only one who dares to PUA Celtics fans and Celtics players like this in the Celtics' home court.

So many fans online joked that it was a good thing that Leonard made the buzzer beater in the end, otherwise Embiid would definitely not have been able to leave the TD Garden.

The 76ers can advance, but Embiid must die!
Although this statement is somewhat exaggerated, it is not without reason.

So, Embiid still has to thank Leonard?

Of course it is impossible.

However, this series was not without gain for Embiid. He found his goddess, who became his girlfriend.

Although it is fake, who says that fake cannot become real?
Embiid is a very confident person. As long as Rihanna can accept his appearance, he believes that his charm can conquer his goddess.

The biggest winner in this series between the Celtics and the 76ers is Embiid. Apart from Embiid, it must be Leonard.

The buzzer-beater in Game 7 directly established his position as the leader of the Celtics and also won the favor and respect of Celtics fans. Celtics fans like players like Leonard who are tough in crucial moments.

What happened to scheming?
Being strong is enough, but when it comes to scheming, the Celtics players like Garnett and Pierce back then were all villains!
The key is not how kind, pure or dark your heart is, but your determination is strong enough to protect the glory of the Celtics!

In this regard, Leonard is much better than James and Paul.

In the past two years, Paul and James have never failed at critical moments.

After losing Pierce, Ray Allen and Garnett, the Celtics have never seen such a reliable and exciting player in critical moments.

The Cavaliers, ranked third in the Eastern Conference, easily defeated the New York Knicks, ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference, 4-1.

The Knicks' Seth Curry encountered big problems in this series. In the one-on-one duel with Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving, Seth Curry was a little suppressed in the end.

Seth Curry can't defend Irving, but Irving can limit Seth Curry.

Kyrie Irving averaged 31 points per game in this series, with three 40+ games in five games, and an average shooting percentage of 51%, 41% from three-point range, and 91% from free throws, which is truly terrifying.

Seth Curry played a good game in G4 in five games. He made 14 three-pointers and scored a career-high 56 points in the playoffs, leading the team to victory, but it was meaningless as the team was already 0-3 behind.

A 56-point game raised Seth Curry's average points by 28 or 42 points, but in the end, Seth Curry's average points were only 42, with a shooting percentage of % and a three-point shooting percentage of %.

As the leader of the Knicks, such performance was naturally unsatisfactory and he was suppressed by Kyrie Irving, the second-in-command of the Cavaliers.

This series also allowed everyone to see Irving's strength, a true superstar.

In last season's Eastern Conference Finals, Irving was indeed an undercover when playing against the Celtics, but Irving's poor performance against the Celtics does not mean that he is not strong enough.

Seth Curry, the favorite for regular season MVP, first-team guard, and scoring champion last season, was captured, wasn't he?

Seth Curry was in a very bad mood after being knocked out by Irving in a one-on-one duel.

Seth Curry and Irving are good friends. They were teammates and very good friends in college. Both of them are from Duke University, so this series is also called the Duke Derby.

NBA players have strong college sentiments, and their hometown folks are watching.

Even Oden took the initiative to give up his position as team leader to Irving, and played a supporting role in this series.

The folks back home all want to see what kind of competition Duke's two NBA superstars will put on.

The best result is a fifty-fifty split.

Seth Curry was confident that he could now fight Irving on equal terms, but he didn't expect that in the end, Irving still suppressed him completely.

Anyone who knows Seth Curry knows his complicated feelings towards Irving.

Seth Curry can be called the ultimate receiver in the NBA. When he was in college, he took over Irving's starting position because Irving was injured. When he came to the NBA, Duke University's representative in the NBA was also Irving who he took over. Even his girlfriend was Irving who took over.

There are many more such things. Basically, everything Irving has owned was taken over by him in the end.

But this doesn't mean Seth Curry is the winner.

For example, when he took over Irving's starting position in college, in the minds of his teammates and coaches, Irving was still better than him, and he was just a substitute for Irving.

For example, last season, Seth Curry took over the banner of Duke University players from Irving. In the minds of many Duke fans, Seth Curry was not strong enough and relied entirely on Coach D to pull him up.

For example, he took over the matter of Irving's girlfriend. He loved Kelly very much, but he didn't dare to ask Kelly, "Am I the one you love the most?"

Seth Curry doesn't want people to say that everything he has is what Irving left over.

Seth Curry wants to prove to the world that everything he has now was snatched from Irving.

Because I am better, all these things came into my hands from Owen. Because I am better, Kelly gave up Owen and followed me.

This series had a very special meaning to Seth Curry, but in the end, it proved to be a failure.

After the series, everyone was saying that Irving was indeed the best.

This made Seth Curry a little upset.

So after the series ended, Seth Curry, who was depressed, ran directly from New York to Charlotte, and ran back to his hometown to seek comfort from Du Kang.

How could Du Kang comfort him?
It is difficult to comfort a man's self-esteem. Du Kang could only comfort him by saying, Seth, look at it more positively, don't look at how these things came from, you should think more about how you got them.

Irving, your brother, the position of the Knicks boss and the identity of the King of New York that they long for, now, are all yours.

The Knicks' first choice was also your brother, and the second choice was also Irving, but in the end it was you who got this position and also won the love and respect of Knicks fans.

that's enough.

Take one, that's the one who takes over.

If you pick up a hundred of them, that’s the Bull-Headed King!
This is the truth. After Du Kang's consolation, Seth Curry was not so sad anymore.

In the world of martial arts, the question is whether you would rather be Miao Renfeng or Tian Guinong. Miao Renfeng is strong, but if you are Tian Guinong, you have to be more open-minded. Think about it from another perspective, then you are a winner in life, right?

Seth Curry in the NBA world is no less powerful than Tian Guinong in the martial arts world.

Tian Guinong can be considered a winner in life if you think positively, let alone Seth Curry, who has won even more.

Seth Curry wants to get stronger, but Du Kang doesn't recommend that he gain weight like his brother Curry.

Seth Curry's physical condition is much worse than his brother's. Curry can gain weight, but Seth Curry must maintain his agility.

Don't let external things blind your eyes.

If Tian Guinong knew how to stop in time, he would be a winner envied by many people, instead of becoming a loser despised by everyone.

Maintaining his own style, waiting for the update of the NBA version, and during this time, training his leadership and strong shooter's heart, this is the best choice for Seth Curry.

After Seth Curry left, Du Kang didn't know whether Seth Curry would listen to him.

There is a high probability that Seth Curry should listen to him.

In the series between the fourth-placed Heat in the Eastern Conference and the fifth-placed Raptors in the Eastern Conference, the Heat eventually defeated the Raptors 4-2.

In the brotherly duel between Chris Paul and Wade, it was the Heat's third player Jimmy Butler who stole the show in the end.

In six games, Jimmy Butler made three buzzer beaters. In this series, Jimmy Butler was simply amazing.

This series was also very exciting to watch. If it weren’t for the explosive matchup between the Celtics and the 76ers, this series would also be a classic.

I have to say that in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs this year, basically every matchup is very interesting.

But the final result was very ordinary, the top four teams in the Eastern Conference all advanced.

The results in the West are actually the same.

The Lakers, ranked first in the Western Conference, defeated the Trail Blazers, ranked eighth in the Western Conference, 4-0. The Warriors, ranked second in the Western Conference, defeated the Mavericks, ranked seventh in the Western Conference, 4-0. The Thunder, ranked third in the Western Conference, also easily defeated the Clippers, ranked sixth in the Western Conference, 4-0. The Rockets, ranked fourth in the Western Conference, lost to the Timberwolves, ranked fifth in the Western Conference, 2-4. It seems to be an upset, but in fact, the Timberwolves had a better regular season record than the Rockets. Due to the ranking rules, the Timberwolves can only rank fifth at most, but the Rockets are first in the division and can at least rank fourth.

So in the playoffs, the Rockets rank high and the Timberwolves have home-court advantage, so the Timberwolves are the stronger team.

Compared with the Eastern Conference, the four Western Conference matchups do lack some highlights.

However, in the second round, isn’t that where the highlights of the Western Conference begin?
The Lakers, ranked first in the Western Conference, will play against the Timberwolves, ranked fourth in the Western Conference. The showdown between Jokic and Wiggins is finally about to take place. Among the three major rookies of 2014, Embiid has already exploded in this year's playoffs. Now, it is the turn of Wiggins and Jokic.

The Warriors, second in the Western Conference, are facing the Thunder, third in the Western Conference. This is even more explosive. The star players of both teams are lined up, and it can even be watched as an All-Star game. The All-Star lineup and the intensity of the finals are a blessing for the fans.

What's more, it is a duel between Curry and Westbrook, the old rivals, and Durant and Al-Farouq Alian, two of the three best rookies of 07.

There are also Adams and Draymond, Carter and Iguodala, Ibaka and Love, Anthony and Klay.

There are many things to see.

However, if we talk about the most interesting playoffs, it has to be the Eastern Conference.

In the second round of the Eastern Conference, the Bobcats faced the Heat. Jordan was going to fight his challenger Wade and the suspected "illegitimate son" Butler. After Butler's explosion against the Raptors, some people found that Butler and Jordan looked alike, more like Jordan than Jordan's own son, which made Jordan a little embarrassed. Of course, the most embarrassed one must be Jordan's own son. Damn it, Butler really looks more like his father than them.

Many people joked that Jimmy Butler was the son that Jordan dreamed of.

If his son could perform a little better, he wouldn't want to make a comeback himself. Being a father and cheering for his son is also a kind of basketball happiness.

Doesn't it prove his greatness that his son defeated Kobe, McGrady and Yao Ming?
It's just that my son is incompetent and he makes me die of exhaustion.

In addition, Beasley also has to work for his old team, the Heat. What he lost must be taken back with his own hands.

Not to mention the 2.0 version of the showdown between the second-ranked Celtics in the Eastern Conference and the third-ranked Cavaliers.

In last year's Eastern Conference Finals, the Cavaliers lost to the Celtics and were very dissatisfied.

Now, the Cavaliers are in high spirits.

The Celtics seemed to be on the verge of collapse after being beaten by the 76ers.

At this time, in Charlotte, Ducon was strengthening the Bobcats players in a training camp.

"Michael, what do you think of the upcoming father-son showdown?"

Jordan looked at the comparison picture held by O'Neal, which showed half of his face and half of Butler's face pasted together, and examined it carefully again and again.

"Shaq, you know what, they really look alike."

I wondered in my mind whether I had really...

The more he looked, the more suspicious he became, and the more suspicious he became, the more excited he became.

Because after watching the highlights of Butler's game between the Heat and the Raptors in the first round, he really likes this kid.

Those people were right, this was exactly what he dreamed his son would look like!
So impressive!

Father and son duel...

This is so exciting!
