Chapter 122 Entering the playoffs, Suns VS Spurs!

"This Du, what does he mean?"

In the training camp office, Robert Savor tapped his brown desk with his right hand, looked at D'Antoni and asked, "What does he mean!"

It was as if D'Donnell had provoked him.

D'Antoni smiled bitterly:

"Boss, what do you mean?"

"Don't think about it!"

Savor tugged at his gray tie in displeasure, "This Asian kid asked me to give him a raise...

By the way, Deshuai...

I remember you mentioned this to me, didn't you? "

When D'Antoni heard this, his expression was shocked, and he said:

"Boss, this time Du hinted that you would give him a salary increase, it was not my idea to give him!"

"..."

Savor didn't speak, and took a meaningful look at D'Antoni before saying: "I still say that, I'm a businessman..."

……

After the All-Star Game, the NBA regular season enters the final sprint.

This stage is full of excitement.

Thirty teams are battling for the final league standings.

For the Suns.

The current record ranks second in the Pacific Division, second only to the Lakers.

As long as the next regular season does not crash, it is safe to enter the playoffs.

and so.

For the Suns, and Suns fans.

The next few games of the Suns are more eye-catching:

The first is a game against the Spurs on February 2.

Before this,

The Suns and the Spurs, teams in different divisions, have played two games, one away and one home.

In both games, the Suns lost!

This third game started at the home court of the Spurs.

The Spurs, a strong team, won the NBA championship last year.Although there is a trade impact this year, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse. Under the leadership of Tim Duncan and Bruce Bowen, the Suns once again tasted the taste of defeat!

"The Spurs are the natural enemy of the Suns!"

"Yes."

"Three consecutive losses!"

"It really shouldn't be... The Suns are not weak this year."

"But the sun just can't beat the Spurs, you have a temper??"

"..."

The second game that attracted fans' attention was the fourth game of the Suns VS Lakers on March 3.

The game was a stalemate between the two sides,

There was an overtime at the end,
But in overtime, Bryant hit two three-pointers and killed the game.

finally.

The four games between the Suns and the Lakers came to an end, with a total score of 2:2.

"As the two top teams in the Pacific Division, I really want to see who is stronger..."

"Wait for the playoffs."

"..."

For the fans, the Suns and the Lakers have not yet decided a winner.

This is one thing that makes them worry about.

The third game that attracted fans' attention was the second game against the Celtics on April 4.

In this game.

The Celtics learned the lesson from last time, even though Garnett was injured and fought, he still led the Celtics to abuse the Suns.

The total score was 1:1.

The fourth game is April 4, the last game of the regular season for the Suns, and the final match against the Rockets.

this game.

Yao Ming did not participate due to injury.

But without Yao Ming on the court, McGrady, Battier and veteran Dikembe Mutombo led the Rockets to play steadily.
Let the Suns end the last regular season game with regret.

The Rockets also achieved the best winning streak in team history!

Also on this day.

Du Qi's golden finger has been upgraded to another level!
"Lingbo Weibu of Tianlong Babu System, LV9 (0), use time: 9 minutes."

……

The regular season is over.

The Suns entered the playoffs with a record of 55 wins and 27 losses.

2007-08赛季季后赛的赛制为2-3-2。

That is to say, the two teams that are facing each other, the top-ranked team in the regular season will first play two games at its home court, then play three games at the opponent's home court, and then return to its own home court to play two games.

The top scorer in the regular season has more home court advantage.

of course.

This is a best-of-seven game.

Tie-breaks are not often staged, and the impact is not that big.

……

The matchup map for the first round of the Western Conference playoffs is out:

Lakers VS Nuggets
rocket vs jazz
Hornets vs Mavericks
Spurs VS Suns
The first-round matchup in the Eastern Conference:
Cavaliers VS Wizards
Magic vs. Raptors
Pistons VS 76ers

Celtics vs Eagles
This kind of playoff matchup is exactly the same as the NCAA matchup rules.

That is, the rankings in the regular season are correct.

……

For Suns fans.

They met their natural enemy, the Spurs, in the first round, which made them very excited!

"The Suns are facing the Spurs. The Suns have lost to the Spurs three times in a row in the regular season. This time we must take revenge!"

……

The fans finally looked forward to the first game of the Suns VS Spurs with great anticipation.

The San Antonio Spurs are 56-26 in the regular season, ranking higher than the Suns.

So the first game was played on the Spurs' home court.

……

The AT&T Center is the home arena of the Spurs.

The arena, which can accommodate 18418 people, was packed with people on this day.

"The Spurs crushed the Suns in the regular season, and it is estimated that in the first round, they will be able to sweep the Suns out."

"Hahaha... I think so too."

"It's just a pity for that Asian No. [-] kid, he is this year's super rookie!"

before the opening.

The fans are talking about it.

Based on the fact that the Suns were abused by the Spurs in the regular season, Suns fans had no confidence to refute after hearing these arguments.

……

quickly.

The first game of the playoffs between the Suns and the Spurs has begun.

The Suns' starting lineup remains unchanged.

The Spurs' starting lineup:

Manu Ginobili with jersey No. 20 - Forward

Tim Duncan with No. 21 - Forward

Francisco Elson with No. 16 – Center forward

Bruce Bowen with No. 12 – Defender

Brent Barry with No. 17 - Defender

In the first quarter, the two sides scored 12 to 15 points, and the Spurs led by three points.In this quarter, both sides focused on the offensive end.

The game just started,
Everyone has more energy.

I can't see anything in this section of the game.

Until the second quarter, Uncle Bao Bowen of the Spurs found his feeling, both defensively and offensively, he scored 10 points in a single quarter!
Until the end of the second quarter, at the end of the first half,
The Suns lost to the Spurs by 11 points!
"We lost by double digits in the first half!"

"It seems that the natural enemy of the Suns is really the Spurs..."

"Spurs, spurs—just a spur!"

"Hahaha……"

But Du Qi’s fans retorted:

"What are you proud of? The Suns still have super rookies who haven't made it!"

"Is that the number ten Asian kid?
Hehe... so what if he got on?Didn't he also play during the regular season?It's not the same as being stabbed home by the Spurs? "

"..."
