The world's best combo guard

Chapter 135 132 [Hot opening]

Early the next morning, all the Lakers players arrived at the training hall on time. After three days of high-intensity closed training, the players were adjusted to another level both mentally and physically.

Especially for the old players on the team, they know what the playoffs are, and they have not forgotten the painful memories of the team's failure in the playoffs last season.

Therefore, the training hall full of laughter and laughter in the past is gone, replaced by a very serious picture.

Because the playoffs will start in the afternoon, the training in the morning is mainly about recovery training to reserve physical fitness.

But even with the resumption of training, everyone is very serious.

During this process, Li Hao saw Kobe’s paranoia and competitiveness again this season. He told Li Hao that in order to play well in this playoffs, he will abstain from sex for a period of time until the end of all games and maintain absolute concentration .

Later, Kobe suggested to Li Hao that it is best to be like him, because this will keep Li Hao's state at the same height.

Li Hao snapped his tongue.

What a horrible guy.

As for myself, what can I do if I can't restrain myself?Up until now, he hadn't had the most primitive contact with Ling Sixue, at most it was just holding hands and kissing.

Because the game was going to be played in the afternoon, after the physical training in the morning, Phil Jackson announced that everyone was disbanded on the spot, and there was no need for tactical training. Just go directly to the competition venue in the afternoon.

Li Hao also left the training hall. He will not practice again when the game is about to be played in the afternoon. After all, the playoffs and the regular season are not the same concept. He decided to go home and listen to music and take a good rest.

.........

Compared with last season, the East and West playoff teams have not changed much this season.

The eight Western Conference playoff teams are the Los Angeles Lakers, San Antonio Spurs, Minnesota Timberwolves, Sacramento Kings, Dallas Mavericks, Memphis Grizzlies, Utah Jazz, and Portland Trail Blazers.

The biggest surprise among the eight teams should be the Minnesota Timberwolves. Before the start of this season, no one was optimistic that Kevin Garnett, who led the team with a single core, could lead the Timberwolves to the playoffs.

But obviously, everyone underestimated the ability of the new MVP. Kevin Garnett, who has been in the league for nearly 7 years this season, has finally grown up. He played the best season of his career, whether it is personal data or the team. In the end, the league gave him the most valuable player award, which is well deserved.

Add Caron Butler to the All-NBA second team, and even in the playoffs, people feel like this Timberwolves team has a chance to go far.

Looking at the entire Western Conference this season, the most disappointing team should be the Houston Rockets. Yao Ming, the No. 2002 pick in 24, has grown further this season. He is in the third team of the best team this season. He has gradually moved towards Shaquille O’Neal, Tim Duncan and these superstars are aligned. In other words, the performance of the [-]-year-old Yao Ming this season can be regarded as remarkable.

However, the decline of team leader Steve Francis' state can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. The Rockets' failure to enter the playoffs this season has a lot to do with Francis. Corresponding performance.

The Houston Rockets, a team that has attracted the attention of many Chinese fans with Yao Ming, may have made their choice during the offseason...

The eight teams in the Eastern Conference to enter the playoffs are Indiana Pacers, Brooklyn Nets, Detroit Pistons, Miami Heat, Charlotte Hornets, Milwaukee Bucks, New York Knicks, Boston Celtics!

The biggest surprise among the eight teams entering the playoffs in the Eastern Conference should be the Miami Heat in fourth place.

Pat Riley may be able to laugh again, because he not only got the Miami Heat's team leader Dwyane Wade for the next 10 years with a fifth pick in the first round, but also used a humble second-round pick to harvest Haslem made the All-Rookie Second Team.

Eddie Jones, Lamar Odom, Dwyane Wade, Haslem, the Miami Heat managed to reach No.4 in the Eastern Conference without a superstar, which is enough to see that this young team army potential.

Many people believe that the Miami Heat will be stronger next season.

Especially Dwyane Wade, although this season is slightly inferior to the No. 10 matchup with the Lakers, he will definitely be better next season, who is also selected to the All-Rookie Team, because people can see Miami Jordan from him possibility.

The most disappointing team in the Eastern Conference this season should be the bottom-ranked Orlando Magic. With Tracy McGrady, Juwan Howard, and Grant Hill in such a luxurious configuration, the Orlando team defeated in the first game of the new season. After the New York Knicks, they unexpectedly suffered a 19-game losing streak. After that, what made Orlando even worse was Grant Hill's season reimbursement.

Therefore, after the whole season, this highly anticipated team became the league's deputy squad leader by surprise.

There are rumors at the end of the regular season that the Magic management has had enough of the team's continued decadence into the millennium. They may choose to completely rebuild during the offseason, and the team's superstar Tracy McGrady will naturally become a The meat and potatoes of the transfer market.

For the Lakers, based on the regular season record rankings of the 15 Eastern and Western teams that entered the playoffs, the biggest opponents should be the Spurs, Timberwolves, Pacers, and Nets.

As for the Portland Trail Blazers who will face off first tonight, to be honest, as long as the Lakers can play normally, there shouldn't be much suspense in beating them to advance to the second round of the playoffs.

After all, there is a big gap between the strength of the Lakers and the Trail Blazers. It is difficult for the Portlanders, who barely squeezed into the playoffs in the regular season, to cause them too much trouble.

…………

On the afternoon of April 4, local time in Los Angeles, outside the Staples Center, the home of the Lakers, more than an hour before the start of the game, the Lakers players showed up one after another.

Li Hao, the best rookie winner who has received much attention in the playoffs, entered the arena wearing a handsome suit and headphones, with a relaxed expression on his face. It seemed that he was in a good state of mind.

An hour later, the lights of the entire Staples Arena dimmed, and everything was silent. Compared with the regular season, the appearance of the players in the playoffs seemed a little more grand.

"tear them apart"

"Lee, blow them up"

……

When it was Li Hao's turn to play, there was a tsunami of cheers from both sides of the player's tunnel. Today's Li Hao has already been recognized by this arena.

After the players played and the short warm-up ended, the first game of the 2003~2004 Los Angeles Lakers playoffs officially kicked off!
