At the end of the regular season, only Iverson provided one point for Yang Jian.

Iverson's important history has been changed, and he is missing another scoring champion. This season was supposed to be the third time in his career that Iverson became the scoring champion, but so far he has not had one.

Yang Jian won the scoring title for the sixth time, the assists title and the steals title for the fifth time, and is about to catch up with Michael Jordan, who has eight scoring titles.

Andre Miller lost the only assists leader in his career, but did not provide points to Yang Jian. In a parallel world, Miller has not been selected to the All-Star in his career.

As the student of Ma Jian, the number one power forward in history, at the University of Utah, Andre Miller was seriously underestimated in college until he retired in the NBA. Miller would always teach his opponents a lesson on the court, but once off the court, you wouldn't.

Hearing anything about him will make you forget everything about him.

The players rested for two days before the first round of the playoffs began.

The SuperSonics were indeed the easiest team, beating the Jazz by 23 points with the smallest point difference in the three games.

The Jazz couldn't even guard Yang Jian in his rookie season, and there was nothing they could do against Yang Jian at his peak. The Jazz's offense was equally bad, with the score failing to reach 90 points in three games.

The status of the Jazz's second oldest player is declining every year. This season, Malone averaged only 22.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game, and his shooting percentage dropped to 45.4%. He can no longer post up as efficiently as he did when he was young, but the team still has to

Rely on him to attack hard.

Stockton has a habit of falling behind in the playoffs and cannot be counted on. He always looks calm with an expressionless face, but he always acts like a spoiler on the court. In the last seven seasons, he has only once averaged more than 10 points per game in the playoffs.

15 points, and the other 6 times were all around 10 points.

Stockton is also a black hole on the defensive end. He has neither speed nor strength on the floor. When encountering counterattacks, he can only use gambling steals and fouls to stop opponents. In two games, he was sent off for 6 fouls.

Stockton is 40 years old this year but has no plans to retire. Because he has a contract and can earn a high salary for another year. This is his only motivation to play in the NBA. He will retire with the Jazz next season and does not want to go anywhere else.

The team competes for the championship.

In other Western Conference series, the Lakers and Kings swept their opponents 3-0 and met in the second round.

The Timberwolves tried their best to prevent O'Neal. The Sharks averaged 33.3 points, 15.7 rebounds and 4 assists in the series, and shot 56.3% from the field.

The Kings' Chris Webber faced off against Rasheed Wallace, both of whom shot 40% from the field. The Kings won because they scored more points, especially No. 1 Mike Bibby, who completely defeated Damon Smith in the series.

Tadamel.

"Little Flying Squirrel" averaged 33 minutes per game, only 5 points and 3.3 assists, and shot 22.7% from the field. Sean Kemp played 11.7 minutes, averaged 3.7 points and 2.7 rebounds per game, and shot 28.6% from the field.

They are the "crouching dragon and phoenix chicks" of the Trail Blazers. Who would have thought that the combined annual salary of these two guys is as high as the combination of Yang Jian and Payton?

The Trail Blazers are ready to rebuild. The management's first priority in the summer is to buy out Kemp's junk contract. They can no longer pay the luxury tax for him.

The Spurs were eliminated by the Mavericks 2-3 at home in a life-or-death battle. Duncan averaged 25.8 points, 11.6 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 4.8 blocks per game, but he couldn't carry the team with a single core.

Spurs center David Robinson is no longer good. He only had 6 points and 7 rebounds in the series. He was at a disadvantage against LaFrentz.

The biggest highlight of the Spurs is rookie point guard Tony Parker, who averaged 17.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists in the series, shooting 50% from the field. Except that his style of play does not look like a point guard, Parker performed very well.

Fans are a little excited. The Mavericks have won two games against the SuperSonics in the regular season. In the second round, they can watch the two teams compete offensively. Not many people expect the Spurs to advance. Their style of play is destined not to attract fans.

There is suspense in the first round of the Eastern Conference, and it's a duel between rookies.

The Raptors defeated the Pacers with difficulty 3-2 and almost got beaten.

Raptors star Vince Carter did not show much advantage against veteran Reggie Miller, which was disappointing. Carter averaged 24.6 points per game, only 4 points more than Miller, and Miller's shooting percentage was slightly lower.

A little higher.

Center Antonio Davis performed very well, scoring 17 points, 10.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1 block in the series. His performance was slightly better than Jermaine O'Neal's 17.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1 assist and 1.6 blocks.

O'Neal Jr.'s shooting percentage is only 44.7%, and his performance is very unstable. When he is not in good condition, his shooting percentage is less than 40%, and his style of play is soft.

The Pacers did not dig up Artest and did not have Brad Miller as the starting center. Their ability to compete with the Raptors in five games has a lot to do with the 208cm tall rookie forward Radmanovic. "Skiing

"Male" performed well, averaging 2.6 three-pointers per game in the series and scoring 12.4 points.

The Raptors' Snow, Artest, and Keon Clark also performed well, and their overall strength is even better.

The Nets eliminated the 76ers 3-1.

Jason Kidd averaged 22.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 8.4 assists and 2.2 steals in the series, shooting 42.9% from the field.

Iverson averaged 30 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.6 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 38.1%. His highlight was that he averaged 12.6 free throws per game in the series and was on the free throw line as soon as he touched it.

After the game, countless fans felt sorry for Iverson, thinking that he completely defeated Kidd, but it was a pity that the support from his teammates was not enough.

Coleman with a shooting percentage of 52.4%, Halprin with a shooting percentage of 50%, Brent Barry with a shooting percentage of 45.5%, and others really need to give more support to the "single core", and the shooting rate must be at least 70% to win.

The Celtics eliminated the Magic 3-1.

Paul Pierce showed off his power in the series, scoring 30.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.8 steals. He shot 44.8% from the field and 46.5% from the three-point range, and averaged 4 three-pointers per game.

McGrady also averaged 30.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.8 blocks per game, shooting 46.2% from the field and 31.3% from the three-point range.

The core points of the two teams are very exciting. Unfortunately, Grant Hill's reimbursement resulted in McGrady lacking helpers. The Magic's overall strength is not as good as the Celtics.

Unless there is a larger butterfly effect, it will be difficult for McGrady to lead the team beyond the first round of the playoffs.

The Pistons eliminated the Bucks 3-2.

Ben Wallace became the key to the Pistons' promotion. The Bucks once led 2-1. In the crucial fourth game, Ben Wallace performed superbly on the road, making 8 of 11 shots, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 19 points and 20 rebounds.

1 assist, 3 steals and 3 blocks.

Without Ben Wallace to help the team on both ends of the offense and defense, the defensive Bucks could only score 78 points in the game. The Pistons would most likely be eliminated 1-3 and would have no chance of returning home to make a comeback.

The Pistons' current lineup is not far away from rising to prominence. Their weakest position is point guard, and their starting lineup is Chucky Atkins, who is a defensive black hole with a height of 180cm and lacks organizational ability.

The Pistons emerged after signing Chauncey Billups in the free market and acquiring Richard Hamilton from the Wizards.

The deal with the Wizards was easy to negotiate, but Jordan disliked Hamilton and wanted him to get out.

Whether the Pistons can sign Billups depends on Yang Jian's thoughts. The same is true for the full mid-level salary. Billups is mentally ill and would choose the Pistons. He joins the SuperSonics and is waiting to succeed Payton, so he can't compete for the championship.

Does it smell good?

Yang Jian has long begun to consider finding Payton's successor. He knows that in a parallel world, Payton's strength will decline sharply after the end of this season.

Payton entered the league late. He was a player born in 1968 and will be 34 years old after this season. His physical fitness is not top-notch. Once his athletic ability deteriorates, he will not be able to help the team on both offense and defense as he did when he was young.

.

Moreover, if the Sonics win another championship, Payton will have six championships in hand. There is no need to work as hard as he did when he went to the Lakers in a parallel world. Payton who works hard can't play well, how much strength can Payton who maintains health have?

Yang Jian wants the management to dig Billups not only because of his low salary and high cost performance, but also because he and Payton have similar styles. They are both heavy-duty point guards who are good at defense and can guard shooting guards.

Billups' ability to advance quickly is not as good as the young Payton, nor is it better than the current Payton. Moreover, he is good at shooting three-pointers and his scoring efficiency is higher than Payton.

He and Yang Jian cooperate very well, and only need positional warfare organization. With Yang Jian here, no one else is needed to advance the fast attack.

People are predicting whether the Mavericks can cause some trouble for the Sonics in the second round, but little do they know that Yang Jian is already thinking about the next championship.
