Chapter 171 Fan Survey
4 month 23 day.

The much-anticipated playoffs finally started.

There will be four matchups today, including the battle for the fourth and fifth places in the Western Conference where the Lakers beat the Mavericks, and this game is also the one that attracts the most attention from fans.

Just kidding, one has 59 wins and the other has 58 wins. Under normal circumstances, it is at least the strength of the division finals, or even the finals.

But now, the two teams are about to meet in the first round of the playoffs, which is really cruel.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a preview of the finals.

The fans were hooked, but it was too cruel for these two teams. They are both championship-level teams, and those who are capable of competing for the championship will actually face each other in the first round.

But there is no way. This year's Western Conference is too strong. The No.7 Kings have 50 wins, and the No.8 Nuggets have 49 wins.

Except for the Nuggets, which of the top seven teams is not a championship-level team.

Nash led the Suns, GDP's Spurs, Ray Allen and Lewis' Supersonics, Kobe's Lakers, Nowitzki's Mavericks, Yao Mai's Rockets, and Princeton's final peak king... It is not surprising that any of these seven teams will eventually become the championship.

The Spurs beat the Kings, 59 wins to 50 wins.

Supersonics vs. Rockets, 52 wins vs. 51 wins.

Lakers vs. Mavericks, 59 wins vs. 58 losses.

These three sets of duels are all positive and brutal, but the most anticipated ones are the Lakers and Mavericks, after all, they are stronger and closer.

The Lakers have a record advantage, so there will be four home games, which is the advantage of the Lakers.

季后赛前三轮都是2-3-2的安排，也就是说G1、G2在洛杉矶打，G3、G4、G5在达拉斯打，G6、G7在洛杉矶打。

Because of the attention, many fans and the media have also begun to predict this group of matchups.

Ye Heping himself predicted that the two teams should be in a [-]-[-] split.

But when Butler told Ye Heping the results predicted by the fans, Ye Heping was taken aback.

ESPN organized 500 fans to vote on the spot, and only 147 supported the Lakers to win, less than [-]%.

Facebook organized an online poll, and the number of participants reached 10,000+. Just over [-]% of the fans supported the Lakers to win.

TNT organized sports reporters, basketball legends and other professionals to vote. Only 32 of the 8 people supported the Lakers to win, and the support rate was just [-]%.

……

It's fine if it's just one media, but there are dozens of media on the Internet who all agree that the Mavericks have a higher winning percentage.

The highest rate of support for the Lakers is a poll organized by a local media in Los Angeles, with a support rate of 45%.

This is the local media in Los Angeles. Most of the voters are Los Angeles fans. They don't even think the Lakers can win.

This should be the general trend.

Later, in a variety show on FOX, Charlie Rosen was invited as a guest to analyze in detail the reasons for the low support rate of the Lakers.

First of all, the Mavericks have always been a strong team, and the main lineup has hardly changed.

The Lakers have just been rebuilt, from the OK dual-core era to the Kobe single-core era.

In terms of stability, the Mavericks are much better than the Lakers.

Second, the Mavericks have a lot of experience in the playoffs.

And the main player of the Lakers with rich experience is Kobe, and the others are either a round trip, so they have never played in the playoffs at all.

Butler, Odom, and Atkins have very little playoff experience.

And Ye Heping is the player that Rosentre refers to without any experience in the playoffs.

Rosen pointed out: "The playoffs and the regular season are completely different stages. Players will be targeted more. Only players who can fight tough battles can perform better, and most regular season players can't do it in the playoffs."

This sentence is correct, and Ye Heping also agrees.

But the problem is that Rosen once again cited the example of Ye Heping, thinking that Ye Heping is not the type who can fight tough battles.

"How do you know I can't fight? Have you seen it?"

Ye Heping was also helpless, but he knew that the guy was Ye Hei, so he was relieved.

Finally, it is the ability of the star.

The Mavericks have All-Star players like Nowitzki, Finley, and Stackhouse, as well as quasi-All-Stars like Terry and Dampier. There are many people who are trustworthy.

Except for Kobe, who is an All-Star, and Odom, who is a quasi-All-Star, the Lakers have no decent stars.

You must know that the playoffs are the stage for stars, and the performance of stars is very important.

The host proposed: "Ye Heping is also an All-Star, and he is still a starter!"

Hahaha!
Charlie Rosen laughed outright, belly-laughing, laughing up and down, and it took a long time to calm down.

"Everyone knows how his All-Star starter came about."

"If he has the strength of an All-Star starter, I dare say everyone in the league can start."

"If you expect him to perform well, it is better to expect him not to slip too much. After all, the playoffs are a real battlefield, and you can't stand up!"

……

Butler angrily spouted Charlie Rosen's sarcasm.

But Ye Heping was not angry at all, but laughed out loud, which made Butler baffled.

Later, during the Lakers' training, someone mentioned this program again.

Divac reassured Ye Heping: "That guy has a stinking mouth, and he specializes in attracting fans' attention by criticizing others. Don't take him seriously!"

Ye Heping smiled: "No! I think he's right."

Everyone was puzzled, Ye Heping actually agreed with Luo Sen?It's not his character.

"If he didn't say it, I wouldn't know that the Lakers are so weak, and I am so weak. Now, I realize my weakness, so I can work harder!"

Ye Heping explained.

Only then did everyone understand, and looked at Ye Heping in amazement.

Coach Frank whispered to the team doctor Vitti on the side: "I have always heard that great athletes praise their opponents. I still don't believe it. Now I kind of agree. Maybe it is really mutual achievement. The person who knows you best will always be your opponent."

Vitti nodded.

At this moment, Ye Heping yelled again: "You think I think so? Of course not!"

"Everyone thinks that we are weak and that we will lose, so I just want to win. I want to slap Charlie Rosen in the face, and slap everyone in the face!"

Ye Heping continued to shout: "Guys, what's the point in beating a weaker person? If you want to win, you must win against someone who is stronger than you. That's interesting!"

hoo hoo hoo!
A group of Lakers players followed Ye Pingping and howled.

Frank and Vitti smiled wryly and shook their heads: "We are so innocent that we actually believed in that guy's evil. That's right, that's the fucking character of that guy."

On the evening of April 4, the Staples Center was packed.

In a sea of ​​gold, the playoffs are about to kick off.
