232 The playoffs are coming

The smoke of the playoffs is getting closer and closer. The city seems to have entered the state of future games. Every day, he walks in various parts of the city. Zhang Chen often sees people in this city starting to walk around in jerseys, and often sees all kinds of propaganda slogans. The city has completely entered the playoff state, and everyone is looking forward to creating magic for the seemingly powerful Suns in at least the regular season.

This year's playoff schedule has also been fully arranged.

West:

Sun vs. Nuggets, Spurs vs Rockets, Lakers vs Jazz, Hornets vs Mavericks.

East: Celtic vs. Eagles, Knights vs. Wizards, Magic vs. Raptors, Pistons vs. 76ers.

The playoff situation of this season has come out. Although everyone has predicted the current match-to-match, they did not expect it to be like this at the beginning of the season. Of course, when the Celtics in the East exchanged an old guy with the Zhengtai they have accumulated for many years, they think that the Celtics can get the first place in the East, and the fact is true. This season, the Celtics' ranking is indeed at the top of the East.

However, the most surprising thing is the West, which is now far beyond people's expectations before the season.

Naturally, the Suns are the first to take the brunt. Although strictly speaking, the Suns are essentially only regular season teams, no one expected that they would play so well in the regular season. In the gathering of Haoqiang, the West of Beacon Wolf Eye got the first place, which makes them always feel a little It's weird. The second is the Hornets. The rise of the Hornets this year makes everyone feel incredible. Before the start of this season, no team will be optimistic about a team with only a good-looking rookie. But now they have become the second in the West, which surprises everyone.

And the perfect performance of Paul 21+12+5+3 also made everyone exclaim the point guard to be the king, and the Hornets' record made everyone feel a little incredible. Next is the Lakers. Before the start of the season, everyone thought that this year's Lakers would probably repeat the routine of Kobe to carry the whole team alone, and finally fall in the playoffs and shed tears to the world. However, this soap plot that has been repeated for many different teams for many years has finally not happened this year. After getting Gasol, the Lakers' record has also risen steadily.

Another team is the Rockets. In fact, not many people were optimistic about the team after Yao Ming's injury. However, under the leadership of McGrady, the Rockets played an epic 23-game winning streak until they finally fell under the Suns' iron hooves.

In a word, although Garnett is going east now, the west still maintains its advantage over the east, and the alliance is still strong in the west and weak in the east. This is the best era. Compared with later, the league has not really entered the so-called point guard era, and several center forwards are also playing. This year's two rookie front-line wizards also let people see the hope of the continuation of the front line myth. The league's wingers are still active in various teams.

All kinds of famous front-back swingers are now in their prime. The attacks are quite sharp, and the superstars don't have too many groups - not to mention the Celtics, it's only short-lived.

Anthony, James, Kobe, Xiao Ai, Roy, and the rising stars Durant and Zhang Chen, now the striker swingers in the league have vaguely occupied a certain dominant position, at least to compete with the point guard.

This year's playoffs in the West will undoubtedly be very good. The match between the Suns and the Nuggets, both teams pay more attention to offense. The audience can predict that they will witness some offensive games at the West American Stadium, and several other teams will certainly be wonderful, such as Paul and Kidd, the new and old. The competition of the point guard is a gimmick thrown by the league.

The match between the Suns and the Nuggets has attracted considerable attention. The rights to broadcast the game of the Suns in China were directly bought by the five sets of Tianchao Sports. At that time, all Chinese fans will be able to watch this grand duel in front of the TV.

This year is the first year after the Golden Double Gun Combination. This combination has made many fans who believe in Iverson transfer their favorite teams to the Nuggets. Fate seems to be too cruel to Iverson. Maybe loneliness is the lifelong fate of that unruly person. This time, with Anthony's group Although there is no greater energy in the regular season, the fans are still looking forward to the Nuggets.

Of course, the Suns have an obvious advantage in the support rate of the Nuggets and the Suns in the domestic size. Nash and Iverson are the same players of the nine-six golden generation. They are all representatives of the style of the ball, and they have not won even a championship ring. Nash's gentle and kind surname is also liked by many Chinese fans. This is one of the reasons why the Suns are supported. Of course, the biggest reason is Zhang Chen.

In fact, most Chinese fans are still a little blind when watching football. As long as they are Chinese players, they all like, just like Yao Ming. Although Yao Ming has various shortcomings, these people will not care about these. Anyway, Yao Ming is our Chinese, and we just love him. ( Well, I admit that I am one of them.) Zhang Chen is the same. Of course, even if Zhang Chen is not Chinese, he can gain a lot of fans in China - after all, his current style of football is also fully in line with the aesthetic views of Chinese fans. His elegant elegance is even better than Kobe McGrady Iverson. It's better than that - of course, the premise is that he doesn't want to dunk.

Therefore, coupled with Zhang Chen's Chinese identity, he has gradually had the tendency to fight against Yao Ming. In addition, Yao Ming's injury also made him a little out of people's sight. After Yao Ming's injury, Zhang Chen's score went crazy one after another, making everyone immediately fill in his heart because of Yao Mingli. The gap that exists.

Now there is a faint rumor that Zhang Chen has joined the national team. It can be imagined that if Zhang Chen performs well in the Olympic Games, his reputation in the domestic basketball world will reach.

So, no matter in any way, this game deserves everyone's attention, and even Nash will become a green leaf.

The day before the start of the playoffs, because tomorrow will be the home of the Suns, the Nuggets have come to Phoenix Sun City by plane.

However, the people of the Suns are talking about what kind of lineup should be adopted in the face of the Nuggets and what attitude should be used to welcome the duel. To be honest, the first place in the regular season, coupled with the big score of slaughtering opponents at the end of the game, has brought the morale of the Suns to the peak, and everyone's faces are full of self-confidence in the face of the opponent.

This kind of morale is better for the Suns. Of course, this kind of self-confidence should also be controlled to a certain extent. At least it can't evolve into an arrogant team. It will be a tragedy in the future.

While de Anthony asked the assistant coach to let the team train by himself, he watched the game directly next to the basketball court. He drew, wiped and drew on his tactical board according to each person's different characteristics. For a moment, he frowned. In a short time, he had used a lot of manuscript paper.

This is the first playoff game for the Suns, and it will also be a battle. The mourners will win. He knows that Iverson may burst out of energy when he is forced to a dead end. This is a peerless genius who is 183 in the long-long NBA. They have also played against the Nuggets several times this season, knowing that although Iverson has regressed, that kind of regress has not been obvious enough to make the Suns ignore Iverson.

At the same time, the Nuggets also have a difficult guy named Anthony. Of course, Bell's defense should have some effect on Anthony. What he is most worried about now is that his back line is blown up by Iverson. At least he has no player on the back line who can defend Iverson.

Nash's words... Although he has a height advantage and knows Iverson, if Iverson really goes all out to charge, Nash will probably have to be like an SB. Zhang Chen? - Forget it. Although he has a height advantage of 20 centimeters, his defense and Nash are simply a perfect match for his difficult brother. Besides, Zhang Chen's height advantage is not worth mentioning in front of Iverson. Iverson can shake Zhang Chen's center of gravity more easily.

Although D'Antoni is not a defensive coach, he doesn't allow his team to have no defense - he is not the madman of old Nelson. Therefore, in the face of the current situation, D'Antonitoni is also a little worried. In the end, he can only adopt the last decision to let Zhang Chen, Nash and Iverson fight against each other. Iverson's two fists are difficult to compete with four hands. Moreover, the other party's tacit cooperation has been 1+1 greater than 2.

This is the countermeasure that D'Antoni came up with.

For the Nuggets, the Suns are also their immediate enemy. The Suns' record this season is quite scary, and their lineup can also be said to be reasonable. Of course, there is nothing to say about defense, but the Nuggets' defense is not very good. The two superstars in the team are both defensive black hole level. .

In this way, in fact, the Nuggets are facing the same concerns as the Suns, and even more they are worried about - there are too many people who can score and shoot cold arrows, crazy scorers such as Zhang Chen, Xiao Si, Nash, cold shooters such as Barbosa, Bell, and so on. What hurts the Nuggets the most is the defense of Zhang Chen. The person they can use to defend Zhang Chen on the guard line is basically only one JR left? Smith.

Originally, if there was no such variable as Zhang Chen, the person opposite Zhang Chen should be Anthony? Carter, the problem is that this girl is only 188 tall, which is like an SB in front of Zhang Chen's breathtaking 56% three-point shooting rate? Just if you use JR? Smith's words are not reassuring. Although he is good at attacking, his defense can only rely on his own physical fitness, and he likes gambling steals. Being fouled by his opponent is basically accurate, which makes the head coach of the Nuggets, George? Cash has an abnormal headache.

Therefore, after thinking a lot, Cash can only prepare to use a few inside guys to defend the Suns' breakthrough, and also try to defend the Suns' shots - but he always feels that it's too risky. If he fights with the Suns, he knows that their lineup is really something to worry about.

But there is no other good way. They really can't limit the rookie who can score 50 points in a single game.

The tidbits before the start of the playoffs were arranged in the platoon of the two head coaches, and the prelude was gradually opened in a long sigh. The Nuggets also came to the exclusive training hall given to them by the Suns, and there were 15 minutes of opening time for reporters to come in to take pictures or something.

The golden double gun gradually appeared in front of everyone. Melon's smile made his slightly baby-faced face look a little incredibly holy, and the handsomeness of this guy also attracted many people's screams. Not to mention Iverson, he is about the same height as ordinary people, his angular face, and his ecstatic eyes. In short, if they don't wear a jersey, people may think they are a combination of film and television stars - these two guys are very handsome.

So this has also become the topic of some media hype. This season, some boring gossip has ranked the top ten handsome men in the NBA. The first is Kobe Bryant, the second is McGrady, the third is Iverson, and the fourth is a little intriguing.

This list is from foreign media, and the commentators are all from the United States. As a result, Zhang Chen was selected in the fourth place, which made everyone feel a little incredible. Of course, this list in China has aroused the doubts of many fans and many girls: they think that Zhang Chen should be put first. Kobe and so on are all floating clouds, but now Zhang Chen's face is a little baby-faced. Compared with Kobe McGrady and Iverson, he has something less. I believe that in a few years, he can Climb to the top of the list.

Therefore, those vicious media began to hype these two combinations: one is the eighth and third gold double gun on the list of handsome men, and the other is the sun wind (son of the wind and the god of the wind) ranked fourth and fifth on the list of handsome men. These two combinations also satisfy some people with bad taste.

Therefore, Anthony and Iverson appeared and murdered many journalists, and Iverson's face was cold, not as hip-hop as usual, and his cold face seemed to indicate the bloody battle they were going to meet. Anthony just smiled slightly, and the two brothers' expressions were a little thought-provoking.

Iverson came to the left side of the basket and, with the help of their assistant coach, began to practice his emergency jump shot on the left side of the basket. Although Iverson's long-range shooting rate depends on the weather, his mid-range shooting rate and emergency stop jump shot shooting rate are not a joke. At this point in his career, his offensive choice should also give more consideration to his physical endurance, so in his later years of his career, many stars chose jumper as their own. His conventional weapon, although Iverson's breakthrough is still an important offensive means in the past two years, his jump shot ratio has also increased to a certain extent.

Iverson has some wounds in many parts of his body, and some old diseases will gradually invade his career health, but his eyes are still as tough as before.

This will be a thrilling game, which everyone has predicted, and Iverson is more like a decisive charge to challenge his fate.

Fifteen minutes of opening time has passed, and the Nuggets have also entered normal training. When they were sweating heavily, Iverson sat on the stool next to him, picked up his cup and poured Gatoro into his mouth.

I don't know when Anthony sat next to him. Anthony's extension was still a little relaxed. He also picked up a JR? Smith missed the basketball and got a super three-pointer. Looking at the basketball missing into the basket, his child said yes and then said to Iverson, "Hey, Alan, it seems that you are a little unhappy?"

Iverson is not good at covering up his expression, and he does not disdain to hide it, but said bluntly, "Yes, you can see it."

"Why aren't you happy? Aren't we very good? We have come to the playoffs... and we have a chance to beat the Phoenix here.

Iverson naturally won't say the deepest worry in his heart. Sometimes he always feels a little powerless. When he breaks through, he is not as much as before. Occasionally, he will get bloody protests from the injured parts of his body. After all, he is also a person who is almost 33 years old. Most of the time, he watches young people running unscrupulously. Although he never admits it, he is still a little envious in the depths of his heart. At the same time, he also has some nostalgia. He has just joined the league, in high spirits, fresh clothes and angry horses - it has been 12 years. Steve and he of the Suns are also in the same class, and there is no way to erase the traces of years on everyone's faces.

"Oh... Yes, it will be defeated." Iverson's answer was obviously a little absent-minded.

Anthony is still more affectionate with his brother. He also became a little unhappy because of Iverson's unhappiness and said, "Well, Alan, anyway, let's work hard. In fact, I have never doubted that we will win, and I firmly believe that this will become a reality."

Iverson shook his head and suddenly found that when he was a little overwhelmed at his age, many attitudes towards things were also a little plausible. If you completely abandon the trouble of injury and illness, don't completely pay attention to the victory or defeat - life is just such a wanton battlefield. Since it has never changed, it is still the young man with fresh clothes and red lips and white teeth.

He will still shake Jordan's shot and say, "I made a change of direction. I want to see whether he will eat or not, and then wait for him to stand firm, I will do it again."

Iverson stepped back on the court, and the game was imminent.
