Forward to the basket

If someone swore a year ago that the Celtics would enter the playoffs as the fourth in the Eastern Conference, everyone would think that this guy is a very crazy paranoid patient.

And he is a die-hard Celtics fan, otherwise, no one would believe that the Celtics, who were almost at the bottom of the Eastern Conference last season, could rebound from the bottom to the top after one season.

You have to know how thoroughly this group of guys died last season, not to mention falling apart, it was almost the same. The head coach was considered an idiot, and the main core was targeted by other teams, and they were about to collapse.

It can be said that before the start of the draft, the goal of the Celtics for the new season, in the eyes of most people, is to go to the lottery zone. Unless another Bill Russell is selected, they will be completely hopeless up.

Even Pierce almost transferred in the summer. If it weren't for fear of leaving Boston and becoming a traitor, Pierce would have really left at that time. After all, there is really no hope here.

But it's such a small draft year, and it's two draft picks that seem to be considered terrible.

It actually made the Celtics suddenly emerge this season. The wild and unrestrained green whirlwind has been blowing crazily since the beginning of the season. In the East, it is estimated that no one would think that these green bandits will be easily defeated.

This is the living reality, regardless of whether you want to believe it or not, but the Celtics just came out of nowhere in the East, and rushed into the top four in the East.

I have seen people who are reborn from a desperate situation, but after being resurrected, they are so vigorous. It is absolutely uncommon. These guys have killed a lot of traditional teams in the Eastern Conference by relying on their fierce style of play.

Especially in the last dozen or so games of the regular season, these guys insisted on achieving a super strong record of [-] wins and [-] losses in the final sprint stage. With their powerful plundering ability, they stepped on the Heat and the Raptors.

If it wasn't for losing four games, these guys would even have a chance to threaten the third-placed Bulls. In the last few games, the Chicagoans had to be wary of this chasing soldier in addition to winning.

With two months left in the regular season, many people said that the Celtics are more of a spoiler, but such a big supporting role has completely disrupted the order of the entire Eastern Conference. Messed up.

Pat Riley must be one of the most depressing victims. Originally, the Heat had been attacking the top three in the latter part of the season, and they were always looking forward to pressing the Bulls and Cavaliers behind them.

As a result, this goal has not yet been achieved. They actually ushered in a rare losing streak at the end of the season. In the last eight games, they only got three wins and five losses, and the ranking in the Eastern Conference plummeted.

The main reason is that they lost consecutively to the Bulls and the Cavaliers at the last minute, and then they were beaten by Chen Feng's gang of animals, and the main players suffered repeated injuries. Pat Riley caught up with all these unlucky events.

Although Wade and O'Neal were able to return to the main lineup before the start of the playoffs, their Eastern Conference rankings inevitably declined sharply, and they were continuously surpassed by the Celtics and Raptors at the last minute.

From the fourth all the way to the sixth, although they still got the playoff tickets, it is estimated that few Miami fans can accept this result with peace of mind. After all, these guys were the NBA champions last season!

In just one season, it has degenerated like this?Even Pat Riley, the old guy who brought Miami a championship, is inevitably under pressure from all sides, especially the fans, who are almost defecting.

"A bunch of unprogressive guys! They don't represent Miami! Defending!? That's just their fantasy! Damn, our team is starting to rebuild again! This fucking season!"

This is a diehard fan of Miami. After watching the last home game of the regular season, he faced the interview camera and roared. If it weren’t for the silence of sensitive words in the TV broadcast, the voice of this guy’s cursing would probably spread throughout Miami, but this It's definitely not the anger of one person venting, but the anger of many people!

Originally, I hoped that the team could take advantage of the momentum of killing the Mavericks last season and defend the title all the way, but I watched the Heat's last home game, losing 85:93 to the Wizards who couldn't even make the playoffs !

Who can bear this?Even if many people still think that Pat Riley can lead this group of guys to move on, but now no one dares to say that they can successfully defend the title, and even the Eastern Conference Finals is a luxury.

The curtain of the regular season has finally come down. For the top eight in the East, this is just the opening of another battlefield, and those unlucky ghosts who didn't even get tickets can only look forward to the next season to start again.

Of course, teams like the Knicks, Bucks and 76ers may only enter the rhythm of reconstruction, otherwise, they may not be destined for the playoffs in a short time.

Especially the Knicks, who hold players with a cost of nearly [-] million. If they don't clean up, no matter who comes, they can't deal with these uncles who take money and don't work. Thomas will definitely not be able to keep them. As for James Dolan What kind of moths he can play depends on the luck of the people of New York. Anyway, he has not been tossing for a year.

It wouldn't be a surprise if the Knicks were still at the bottom of the Eastern Conference next season, paying a hefty luxury tax bill. Dolan has never worried about a lack of crowds at his Madison Square Garden arena.

Celebrities, big names, there are always people who are willing to pose in this luxurious place. As for how fierce the fans' scolding is, as long as it can make money and attract attention, Dolan doesn't care about playing bigger.

A salary of [-] million US dollars is just a drop in the bucket for this prodigal son. He holds the cable TV network. This guy is not afraid that he will not make money. In New York, the truth of making money is only when there are many topics.

As for the Bucks, their biggest wish now is probably to draw a good pick in the summer draft. It is said that these guys are now eyeing Yi Jianlian, a player who is also from China, who has already confirmed his participation in the draft.

I guess they wanted to try their luck seeing that the Celtics had selected a beast like Chen Feng, otherwise they wouldn't have started targeting Asian players so early, but the beast is so easy to find?Good luck to them anyway.

Teams like the 76ers, Eagles and Bobcats can only rely on trading and signing free players to exchange blood.

Otherwise, it can only continue to sink, but the Eagles have a better foundation. If Woodson puts his mind to it, he may be able to support it for a while with the help of people like Joe Johnson and Josh Smith.

The reconstruction of the 76ers is estimated to be the most difficult. No one can obliterate Iverson's sense of existence in the short term. No matter who comes here to be the boss, they will inevitably be compared with their predecessors. Who can beat Iverson in Philadelphia? Sen is still popular?Iguodala is destined to be a tragic unlucky guy, and as for the latecomers, it is also the same fate.

As for the Bobcats, as long as Master Joe is in office for one day, they are probably destined to play soy sauce in the East.

Master Joe’s ability to change his fate in the draft is something that general head coaches can’t stand. Even if Phil Jackson came to Charlotte in person, he would probably have to be killed by Master Joe on the spot. .

For the incomprehensible draft vision, the Bobcats will not be able to turn around in the short term, and it doesn't matter who they replace.

Those who leave are destined to leave. Whether they can return to the ranks of this playoff competition next season depends on their fortune. Teams like the Wizards and Pacers still have a chance.

Compared with these rejected teams, the top eight in the Eastern Conference are undoubtedly a group of lucky ones. They can still work hard for the final championship and rush for the highest honor to launch an impact.

Pistons, Cavaliers, Bulls, Celtics, Raptors, Heat, Nets, Magic, the eight teams lined up like this are all brewing now, and they are all trying to reserve their most powerful explosive power for these teams. A showdown.

According to the rules of the nba, from the moment the regular season is over, the seats in the east and the west have been clearly divided, and all sixteen teams have also found their opponents at the same time.

The first against the eighth, the second against the seventh, the third against the sixth, and the fourth against the fifth. Simple and clear, each team has its own problems to overcome. In the playoffs, there is no There is no such thing as the weak.

How did the Legend of Black Eight come about?Even the No. [-] team in the league may be instantly killed by the opponent who squeezed into the playoffs in front of it. This is not a precedent.

It's just that no one wants to be the next typical representative, and when the Pistons face the Magic, Sanders' team may not be as experienced and tough as Larry Brown, but it may not be difficult to deal with such an opponent.

When the Cavaliers met the Nets, in addition to being an upstart challenging the old forces, many people are saying that this is the first step for LeBron James to start writing his own history.

If he wants to surpass the prestige of Gang Leader Qiao, from now on, the little emperor who is still empty-handed must start to plunder the championship, otherwise, he may start to win the championship later than Gang Leader Qiao.

As for the Nets, they are just looking at whether the team led by Kidd can create some miracles in the playoffs.

The confrontation between the Bulls and the Heat may be the most interesting. Wade and O'Neal plus a group of veteran defending champions, I don't know what it will be like to bump into a group of crazy calves. <Invincible, still old and strong, it is estimated that many people will be interested in predicting the ending of this time.

Compared with the suspense of the previous three pairs, the fourth in the East and the fifth are probably the least interesting. The Raptors are so desperate to face the Celtics again.

This group of tragic Torontonians managed to create the best regular season results since Carter left the team. The result was not warm yet. When I looked up, I suddenly realized that I had a fucking tragedy!

Fifth in the East!What a tough achievement!But your sister, God, dare you not toss us poor Toronto fans like this!Damn it, it's the Celtics again!

We worked so hard to win the fifth place in the Eastern Conference, can you still do it!Can't you change your opponent to the Raptors! ?

Don't you bother with ravaging us four times in one season?Again!Could it be that you have to bloodbath us eight times in one season before you are reconciled?Did we in Toronto owe you Boston a lot of money in our previous life?

Like the fans in Toronto now, Michelle has a feeling of wanting to cry without tears, fight?Do you want to fight?

As for the gang of cattle in Boston, they are obviously grinning wildly now. For these wild boys, the playoffs are just a bigger battlefield.

A group of desperadoes have long polished their weapons, waiting to wave their sickles again to harvest their opponents...

The door to the playoffs has opened, what awaits the Celtics and Chen Feng will be another sprint!

(It's 7 minutes late...I've worked very hard to keep this performance until the end of the month...Comrades, please watch my performance, um, don't scold me, don't hit me...otherwise, I will cry For you to see...)
