Chapter 44 Eliminate the Clippers
"The Suns eliminated the Clippers 4:2 and reached the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years. Without Amare Stoudemire, they are still strong teams in the league!"
"Elton Brand averaged 33.2 points, 10.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game in 6 games, and his performance was impeccable. Unfortunately, he could only fight alone. The only helper was the old Kassel."
"Marion averaged 25 points and 12.6 rebounds in six games, Nash scored 18 points and 11.4 assists, and Wang Chao scored 22.4 points. The performance of the three may become a key factor in whether the Suns can break out in the West!"
The Suns' ability to reach the Western Conference Finals is more or less surprising. Although they have eliminated two Los Angeles teams, the Lakers and the Clippers, it has to be admitted that the ranking caused by the division has given the Suns a great convenience.
Originally, the Suns' record was only third in the West, which was lower than the Spurs and Mavericks, who won 63 wins and 60 wins respectively.
However, because the Spurs and the Mavericks were in the same division, the Mavericks could only rank fourth in the West with a record of 60 wins, which staggered the possibility of meeting the second Suns in the West.
The result is that the Spurs, the No. 1 in the West, and the No. 4 in the West, meet in advance in the semi-finals of the division, and stage a classic battle between bulls and horses. In the end, the Mavericks were better and eliminated the Spurs 4:3 to enter the Western Conference Finals.
The Spurs will be eliminated by the Mavericks, which can be considered a surprise. Duncan is at the peak of his career and has extremely strong combat power. He averages 32.3 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.6 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 55.6%, offense and defense.
Both show dominant performance.
Parker and Ginobili, the three GDP giants, also averaged 20+ points per game.
But the Mavericks are indeed very strong this season.
Facing Duncan at his peak, Nowitzki performed very well, averaging 27 points, 13.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was also as high as 52.7%. The overall performance of other Mavericks players is better than that of the Spurs.
Excellent, Terry's performance is not inferior to Ginobili, and Josh Howard, Sturgeon House, Devin Harris and others are all in double digits.
In contrast, the Spurs, apart from the GDP combination, is the only forward Michael Finley who averages 10.6 points per game.
The knockout of the Spurs in the tiebreak battle boosted the Mavericks' momentum. The opponent in the Western Conference Finals still lacked Stoudemire's Suns, which can be said to be their best chance to win the championship.
Wang Chao knew very well that if the Suns had developed according to normal history, the Suns would have stopped in the Western Conference Finals.
During the years of the Suns' peak, if Nash is used as the team's brain and steering wheel, then Stodmeier is undoubtedly the team's engine, which directly determines the team's maximum speed limit.
Last season, Stoudemire averaged 29.9 points and 10.7 rebounds per game in the playoffs, with a 54% shooting percentage, and her performance was explosive, especially in the Western Conference Finals match against the Spurs, although the Suns miserably 1:4.
Losing the opponent, but the showdown between Stoudemire and Duncan was the former's victory.
In five games, Stoudemire averaged a terrifying 37 points and 9.8 rebounds per game with a shooting percentage of 55%, and even suppressed Duncan's 27.4 points and 13.8 rebounds.
Everyone knows the importance of Stoudemire to the Suns, so even if the Suns suddenly make a comeback this season, it will be difficult for most people to compete with the Mavericks.
...
Before the finals in the East and West, the league announced the results of the season lineup.
Nash averaged 18.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 10.5 assists per game, and was selected for the All-A-First Team without any suspense. He was also selected with Kobe, James, Nowitzki and O'Neal.
The five players in the second team of the best team are Billups, Wade, Brand, Duncan and Ben Wallace.
The five selected for the third formation are Arenas, Iverson, Anthony, Marion and Yao.
This is the second time that Yao Yao has been selected for the best team in his career, and it is also the first time that Yao Yao has won a double-double in the regular season.
Fans across China are cheering for the achievements of Yaoyao. The only regret is that the Rockets were eliminated by the Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs. Although the score was 4:3, Yaoyao lost 7 games.
The average performance of 21.4 points and 7.7 rebounds is not inferior to Nowitzki, but the Rockets lost after all.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Chao has paid special attention to recent domestic sports news.
As expected, no news about him can be seen in television media, magazines, newspapers, or on the computer and Internet that are gradually developing and expanding in China.
It seems that he must have been banned, and the ban is quite strong. After all, after the two rounds of the playoffs, his average data was 21.7 points, and his score was even higher than Marion and Nash. He is the Suns' post-season
The team's scoring champion so far.
His accurate three-pointer and his tireless running on the field have caused rounds of heated discussions in the league.
Wang Chao knew that with his current performance, there must be many fans in China who discussed him, but the United States, far away from the ocean, cannot get feedback through simple methods such as news and newspapers.
During this period, Wang Chao also tried to indirectly ask what happened in China during the call with his family, but his parents hesitated every time, as if they were unwilling to mention Wang Chao's sad past.
To avoid being exposed as a time traveler, you dare not ask too much about the bottom line.
"No matter what, I can beat the team in the Western Conference Finals by 21.7 points per game. When I play better and better, I will become a top star in the league who is no less than Yao Yao or even stronger than Yao Yao. Let's see if they can still beat them.
It's just a matter of time."
Wang Chao is not anxious about this. The only impact of this matter on him at present is that he cannot sign a contract with domestic manufacturers to endorse Kalei like Yao.
Anyway, he had asked his father to send all the salary he sent back to buy a house in the capital. After the team's salary was paid, he also planned to continue doing this. In a few years, the returns from this investment will be quite considerable, enough to eat and drink for the rest of his life.
No worries.
This incident was just a small episode for Wang Chao. He quickly focused on his opponent in the Western Conference Finals.
If possible, he wanted to help the team win the Mavericks as much as possible and reach the finals.
