NBA villain

Chapter 284 First Day
Entering the playoffs, the Warriors' 12-man roster is finalized.

Point guards: Baron Davis, Derek Fisher

Shooting guards: Jason Richardson, John Salmons
Small Forwards: Mike Dunleavy, Eduardo Najera, Calbert Chaney
Power forwards: Troy Murphy, Sue Ann Cersey
Centers: Yang Di, Aranado Foyer, Andres Biedrins.

The remaining two players, such as Dominican defender Luce Flores and Mexican center Zako Kabakapa, failed to make it to the squad. The competition for the No. 12 team was also very fierce.

As long as the rest of the Warriors are not injured, neither of them will have a chance to participate in the playoffs.

But the Latvian media was very excited. Biedrins, who had no chance to perform at the beginning of the season, had a few performances near the end of the season, and finally successfully entered the playoff squad, fulfilling his status as a high pick Rookie talent.The media said: Andres smiled and had already won the trust of the bishop.

The Spurs are the most balanced offensive and defensive team in the league. After O'Neal traveled east, Duncan re-protected the frame closer to the basket. Although he was called a power forward, he was actually working as a center.

The matchup list for the preseason game is listed, and ESPN specially invited a group of experts to predict the game, and the NBA's official website also launched a prize-winning quiz at the same time to see who can guess the result of the game.

Pacers and Celtics, the Celtics lead the Pacers too much, and the Pacers can enter the playoffs, thanks to the rejuvenated performance of veteran Reggie Miller.The Pacers lineup has obvious flaws. As far as Pierce is concerned, there are no outside players to limit.

The Rockets and the Mavericks basically predict that the Mavericks can beat the Rockets, and even solve it within six games.But it can't be said that the Rockets have no hope at all. From the perspective of the integrity of the lineup, the Mavericks will win the Rockets, including Dampier who can resist people on the inside, Nowitzki who is pulled out to attack, and Terry on the outside. , Finley and other first-class players, while the Rockets only have Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming.

If you want to beat the Mavericks, someone must break out of these two points.

The 76ers and the Pistons, the Pistons are the defending champions, and they are all optimistic that the Pistons will sweep the 76ers. If the 76ers can win a game, it must be that Iverson scored more than 50 points.

The Kings and the Supersonics, two strong offensive teams compete, but the key is defense. Once the Supersonics make a shot, they can be [-]-[-] with all teams in the league, but if they make mistakes, they may also lose to some weaker teams. For the team, the Kings handle the details well, so it may not be impossible to win.

Experts predict that the Kings and the Sonics may play seven games.

In the game between the Spurs and the Warriors, no one is optimistic about the Warriors, because the Warriors are really too young.

The Spurs are the powerhouse of the league, and the Warriors are the leader of the youth army.Duncan is one of the top three players in the league. Although Yang Di is good at defense, most of the time he is only good at assisting defense. In one-on-one defense, Yang Di is not particularly good at losing points in each round. Compared with Duncan, it is obvious It's still a long way off.

Experts are optimistic that the Warriors can win at least one game, because the Spurs' perimeter defense is not particularly good. Baron Davis, Richardson, and Bruce Bowen can only defend one person.And if the young Parker and Davis are matched, this is directly equivalent to a misalignment.

On the afternoon of the 22nd, Annie came back.

I took a flight back from New York and flew for six or seven hours, and I was very tired.

Sitting in Yang Di's Hummer, Annie was lying there.

Yang Di said with some distress: "You can come back in two days, anyway, we are going to San Antonio tomorrow."

"During the Heat game last year, I didn't come to the scene to cheer for you." Annie crossed her legs, put down her seat and lay down in a different position, "Later you were injured, and I couldn't spare time to see you, you I must be very disappointed in my heart. Now I finally have time to accompany you, and I will definitely come."

"It's okay, I understand."

"I know you understand, and I also know that deep down in your heart you are a good old man."

"Angrily accept a good person card."

Annie smiled and said: "So you don't know how to reject others, and you have always been responsive to requests. Fortunately, your friends are relatively good, and there is no such thing as a particularly deceitful one. If you are like Iverson, full of cronies everywhere, maybe Your assets will be consumed by those people."

"When it comes to money, I will be very vigilant." Yang Di retorted that he and Iverson are two kinds of people in essence.

Annie suddenly came up and kissed Yang Di on the cheek, "But your handling of women is not certain. If I ask you for money, will you not give it?"

Yang Di was dumbfounded, "I'll give you as much as you have."

Annie smiled and said, "So it's still the same. He values ​​loyalty, but you value love. You have already given us a lot of things."

"I don't know how to express my heart. I think giving things is the best way to express my emotions."

Annie covered her mouth with a smile.

Although Yang Di likes to make money, he has always been generous in spending money. He gave Nancy a sports car, and gave Tang Xinran, Annie and others many gifts.

On the 23rd, the opening game of the NBA playoffs began. The Warriors flew to San Antonio to prepare for training one day in advance.

In the game of the day, the Celtics first defeated the Pacers 102 to 82 by a huge point difference.

Then the Pistons defeated the visiting 106ers at home with a huge score difference of 85 to 76.

The two consecutive big-score games made people suddenly realize the huge gap in strength between the teams in the East, and some doubted whether there would be an upset in the West.

As a result, in the third game, the Rockets challenged the Mavericks away.

Tracy McGrady scored 34 points and 6 assists, leading the Rockets 98 to 86, mainly against the guests, and defeated the Mavericks in an upset.

Yao Ming performed poorly, with only 11 points and 8 rebounds, but he guarded the penalty zone very well. Nowitzki didn't feel good. With only 19 of 5 shots in the game, the Mavericks couldn't start the game at all.

Such a sudden turning point in the game made Chinese fans elated. Compared with the Warriors, they believed that the Rockets had a chance to break through the first round.

In the fourth game, the Sonics defeated the Kings 87 to 82. They were obviously two offensive teams, but they scored as many defensive teams.Both teams took a lot of mid-range shots. As a result, the Kings grabbed 21 offensive rebounds, and the Supersonics grabbed 22 offensive rebounds. If it weren't for the Kings' mistakes, the Supersonics might not necessarily take away the game. .

The competition in the west is obviously much more intense than in the east, and the gap between the upper and lower teams is not as big as expected.

The next day, at the home court of the Spurs, the Warriors were fully prepared to start the first game of the playoffs.
