I'm really good at shooting.

Q: Why the top two?

A: Because the Bobcats have not entered the league at this time, there are only two divisions in the east and west of the league.

This kind of ranking rules will be complained about in the future, but the NBA is a commercial league, and Stern still has to consider the ratings of the playoffs.

Take the CBA as an example. If no team from the South appears in the finals, the ratings of the finals will naturally drop.

The same is true for the NBA.

The competition area is divided according to the region. If there is no team from that region in the playoffs, the ratings can be imagined.

We must know that this is not the era when the Internet is highly developed in the future, and this kind of rule actually has a very background of the times.

However, it can be seen from this that the strength of the Spurs this season has improved significantly compared to last year.

Just like what Sun Hao and Nowitzki said, the growth of Ginobili, Parker, and Stephen Jackson has made their previously weak perimeter stronger, and they no longer have weaknesses.

The Spurs in history also won the championship this year, and the reason can be seen from this.

The Lakers are fourth with a 52-30 record.

The performance of the Dynasty Lakers this season can be said to be surprising.

Kobe frantically rushed for shots, the intensified contradictions between the OK combination, and the sluggish state of the role players.

Such a record has made many people put a big question mark on their four consecutive championships.

However, no one dares to underestimate them in the playoffs. After all, the combination of Phil Jackson and OK represents strength.

The Timberwolves are fifth with a record of 51 wins.

Well, Garnett said mmp in his heart at this time.

Last year, they were swept by the Mavericks in the first round with 58 tragedies. This season, they will directly PK Dynasty Lakers in the first round.

Which God arranged this fate?

The Blazers are sixth with a record of 50 wins.

Although there seems to be a tendency to fall apart from the coaching staff to the players, the thin camel is bigger than the horse, and the "Portland Prison" is still a difficult bone in the playoffs.

The Jazz are seventh with a record of 47 wins.

The addition of Matt Halprin, the development of Kirilenko, and the spirit of Stockton's "final season" has been inspired.

Although the Jazz are old, they are still strong.

The Warriors beat the Suns to advance to the playoffs with a record of 45 wins.

The addition of D'Antoni has had an immediate effect on the improvement of the Warriors.

This team is like tailor-made for him.

And his running and bombing is much more thorough than the old Nelson, and he is the kind of team in the true sense of "the lower limit can be very low, and the upper limit can also be high".

Matchup in the West:

Lakers VS Timberwolves, Garnett's miserable playoff journey...again?

The Kings VS Jazz, in the eyes of experts, this is the most suspenseful group in the first round of the Western Conference;

Spurs VS Trail Blazers, the Spurs have been avoiding the Trail Blazers for the past two years, but finally hit;

The Mavericks VS Warriors, the offseason trade, the former three friends in the Dallas grass, and the duel between the running and bombing teams, this is definitely the West, no, it should be the most interesting group in this year's playoffs.

Sun Hao actually didn't expect to face the Warriors in the first round.

But it seems that fate arranged it like this.

just nash...

"Steve won't blame us, will he?"

When he started preparing for the playoffs, Nowitzki couldn't help but speak.

The jealous Steve fought against them in the first round of the playoffs.

That feeling... It's like opening the door of a hotel room and watching your ex-boyfriend shy with your new girlfriend.

"I can only feel sorry for him."

What Sun Hao said was exactly the same as when he was in the World Championships.

At the beginning, Dirk Nowitzki was wronged for the Chinese team's medal win, but now for the Mavericks' championship win, Nash can only be wronged.

Nowitzki nodded, he thought so too.

There is a gap in the record and strength of the two teams, but Nelson is very cautious.

This caution is also entirely justified.

The Warriors' offense is the same as the weapon damage value, and it is easy to hit a crit.

If you underestimate them, you may not even know how to die.

And if they get the best record in team history but suffer a black eight, the team can be disbanded next season.

Speaking of history, the Mavericks were really hacked by the Warriors. At that time, the head coach of the Warriors was Old Nelson.

……

Before the start of the playoffs, as in the past, the league announced the first batch of season awards, the most improved award and the best head coach.

It is these two awards that allow fans to further focus on the matchup between the Mavericks and the Warriors.

With 28% of the votes, Arenas beat Jazz's Matt Halperin, Spurs' Tony Parker, and teammate Troy Murphy, and was elected the Most Improved Award!

Warriors owner Chris Cohan is about to wake up from his dream.

After so many years of sinking, the Warriors finally show signs of rising again.

And he has to thank Cuban for sending Nash.

The most improved award belongs to the Warriors, and the best head coach belongs to the Mavericks without any suspense.

Old Nelson, after leading the Mavericks to a record-breaking record in team history, was successfully elected as the best head coach of the season.

This is the first time since he coached the Mavericks and the fourth time in his coaching career.

In this year in history, the Mavericks had the same record as the Spurs, but because of the relationship with the Spurs, they could only rank third.

In the end, the best head coach of the year was also won by Popovich.

Niu Mi that year can be said to be half dead from anger.

But the joining of Sun Hao has changed history, and the old Nelson has ushered in the highlight moment of his Mavericks career.

But if he wants to add the most word before the highlight, he has to completely crush the words Popovich said to him two years ago.

"Your way, you can't win a championship."

The first step for him to do that is to knock out the Warriors, the team he created "RUN.TMC" before.

On April 4, the season playoffs officially kicked off.

Wizards VS Magic in the East, Celtics VS 76ers; Mavericks VS Warriors in the West, Lakers VS Timberwolves on the first day.

Almost every group of these four games is full of highlights, and it can be said that it has attracted the attention of the audience from the very beginning.

There is a time difference between the east and the west of the United States, and the game in the east will start first.

The Celtics and 76ers started first, and they gave all fans a strong dose of medicine from the beginning.

Pierce scored 40 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists in the opening game!

However, he failed to lead the team to victory.

因为对面，艾弗森狂轰55分4板8助攻，而且他的投篮命中率是32投21中！

His breakthroughs and mid-range shots after the pick-and-roll were almost flawless, completely ignoring Gasol and Walker.

Although not as dazzling as two years ago, Iverson's dominance in the East is still there.

Iverson and Pierce have made enough heat for this year's playoffs.

The next game between the Wizards and the Magic was even more unexpected.

In terms of strength, the Wizards are obviously stronger than the Magic.

But in this game, Tracy McGrady scored 28 points on 15 of 43 shots, playing against Jordan who was rarely able to find his way.

And Gordon Girisek, one of the two first-year players the Magic traded for Miller, also scored 22 points and became McGrady's best helper.

In the end, the two teamed up to help the Magic beat the Wizards with an upset 98 to 95, giving the opponent a big blow.

In fact, after watching the game, you will find that the sentence in the future is really not deceiving.

Dianfengmai, Like, Lilizhan, and Dilisha are not just memes.

Tracy McGrady in the peak season really couldn't defend. The Wizards used single defense and double-teaming, but none of them worked in the end.

In fact, in this year in history, McGrady single-handedly pushed the Pistons to the ground at that time.

Peak Mai is so unreasonable.

The two series in the Eastern Conference played vigorously, and then followed by the Western Conference.

The game between the Mavericks and the Warriors kicked off at the National Airline Center in Dallas.

Nash revisited his hometown, and a love and killing drama quietly kicked off.

Chapter 279

An hour before the game, the Mavericks players were making final preparations for the game.

Cuban arrived in the locker room at this time.

His appearance did not cause much sensation.

After all, unlike the bosses of other teams who don't see the end, he runs to the locker room every now and then.

He looks a little excited.

"Guys, champions, we will definitely win the championship this year!"

The performance of that kind of crazy poisonous milk is like a fanatic.

Sun Hao got up and thought... Forget it, you are the boss and you are the biggest.

After finishing these words, Cuban then announced one thing, he has prepared a personal gift for the players.

As long as the team wins a good start tonight, he will go to the locker room to distribute it personally.

Hearing this, Sun Hao felt that Cuban's tainted milk was not a big deal.

Speaking of which, Cuban bought the plane and assigned them a personal trainer before, which is very embarrassing.

But those things end up being Mavericks'.

This time Cuban is giving personal gifts to the players, and it is also mysterious, which is very exciting.

"I want to boost morale like that too, but I'm not the boss."

When Cuban left, Nelson made a rare joke.

The players were all amused. Old Nelson rarely joked like this in the locker room.

But he may also be using this method to relieve the pressure on the players.

Being favored is a good thing, but if you bear too much pressure because of being favored, it will be a bad thing instead.

……

"Do you remember the one-on-one with Steve during the Dallas trial?"

When walking out of the player channel, Nowitzki said suddenly.

Sun Hao nodded.

How can you forget it!

At that time, Nash gave away his head in waves, and directly made old Nelson say "I want you".

Nash loves assists, who says not!
