Chapter 291: The wild playoffs begin! Defeat the Green Army in the first round!

While managers of non-playoff teams like Morey are looking for a sense of presence, managers of playoff-level teams have begun to hold meetings in full swing.

The same is true for Jiang Chao's Knicks. During the short one-week window until the playoffs, the management kept meeting in the conference room to study the next plan.

The specific rankings of the Eastern Conference are as follows:

1,Miami Heat

2,Chicago Bulls

3, New York Knicks

4,Atlanta Hawks

5, New Jersey Net

6,Boston Celtics

7, Indiana Pacers

8,Philadelphia 76ers

The Knicks are called the worst pick by the outside world because they defended the Celtics in the first round and were the runner-up last year. This is really scary.

"The Knicks have worked hard all season, but they may be eliminated in the first round."

"Yeah, I didn't even touch the Nets. The Nets were so good in the end."

In fact, what Jiang Chao didn't expect was that as long as Anthony Stoudemire's combination was not under Dolan, it would be outrageous if it was really good. This made him deeply doubt whether Dolan was a real eyebrow pencil?

However, the real eyebrow pencil is Jordan. Before taking over the Bobcats, the Bobcats were eighth in the Eastern Conference. After taking over, the Bobcats were last in the Eastern Conference and only won 17 games. If the boss was not Jordan, the fans would probably curse him to death.

But Jordan's halo is too serious, and now fans are looking forward to the basketball god's selection vision just like in previous lives.

The Magic are in a miserable situation. They suddenly went from second to last last season to second to last. This is Howard's leadership ability, which can allow a team to guarantee the lower limit.

Although the Knicks are only third this season, which is similar to last season, Howard has too many helpers around him, so he plays very sparingly.

Even the Sparks were the first to get excited after the regular season: "Celtics, I can't wait to tear you apart!"

In addition to the Knicks, Jiang Chao also paid attention to the fact that although the Pacers only received Jiang Chao's No. 18 pick last season, they also entered the playoffs, mainly because Cousins ​​​​is tough enough and has been trained by Big Bird in this life.

They have made rapid progress, and together with Hibbert and Granger, they can be considered a small three.

Jiang Chao felt lucky that he didn't meet them in the first round. Otherwise, he would always have an indescribable feeling of co-writing and cultivating opponents for himself???

But Birdie and James really have a bad relationship. They still met in the first round without George. You must know that Birdie later resigned mostly because he could never get past James' team. Now it's another time to fight against James.

The journey has begun, and I don’t know if I can survive the test.

It doesn't matter what other teams are, as everyone is saying, the Knicks really look like champions after passing the first round.

I don’t know if it’s the Celtics who are expected to fall behind again or something else, but it looks like the Knicks were calculated to be ranked third. Among the top four teams, the Knicks are the least experienced and most likely to get out of the first round.

There is really nothing wrong with picking them!!

Moreover, their forwards are all too young except for the agents, who are starting the starting lineup, and the other forwards are all first-year students... This is funny, the opponent is Pi Shen!

George's scalp went numb when he heard the starters tell him not to panic. He and Hayward thought the same:

"Hey, we will be the ones to defend you when the time comes, not you, so of course you don't panic."

When that time comes, George and Hayward will definitely be sent on to do the dirty work.

"After the first round, our confidence and other aspects have been improved."

"Yes, as long as you pass the first round, the first round this time was the runner-up last year!"

Sean Marks and others all have the same idea. Let’s play the first round this time as if it were the finals. They can’t bear the pressure of another first-round trip.

The Knicks community in the Super God Forum is in a state of panic.

joke.

This is the Celtics!

Since the 21st century, the most shocking news in the NBA free market was not that James joined the Heat, nor that Durant later joined the Warriors, but that the Celtics formed a historic lineup of the Big Three in the summer of 2007.

At that time, the most popular combinations in the league were double-star combinations, such as OK combination, Yao-Mai combination, Utah double-star combination, etc.

When Ray Allen joined the Celtics, it caused a huge reaction in the league. With Ray Allen and Pierce averaging 25 points per game, they were already the favorites to win the championship.

Then an even more shocking trade happened. The Celtics used half of the team to trade Garnett, one of the top three stars in the league, from the Timberwolves in a 7-for-1 deal, forming the terrifying Big Three.

In the first year of the combination, they achieved great success and won the championship, which also became an example for future league stars to unite.

However, Garnett suffered a serious injury the following year, and the Celtics were eliminated in the second round of the Eastern Conference.

In the 10th season, Garnett came back. Although Garnett was not as good as before after his comeback, he still helped the Celtics reach the Finals.

So now in the NBA, single-core and dual-core are really difficult.

You must know that the current Celtics are known as the iron-blooded army. With Garnett, the strongest help defense in history who can cover the whole court, and the death entanglement of Rondo and Tony Allen on the outside, this Celtics is very scary.

.

So in fact, no matter where the Celtics are ranked, as long as they enter the playoffs, everyone who meets them will lose their skin.

Not to mention the new Knicks team.

Even lawyer consultant Mr. Lu knows how tough the Green Army's defense is. He is really afraid that these people will tear the white and tender little Knicks into pieces.

It was Jiang Chao who comforted him: "Don't worry too much, our players are not just for nothing, they are also tough enough."

One of the more common voices on the forum now is:

"But this year they have O'Neal! Will this super center with a veteran's minimum salary become the x factor that affects the trend this year?"

After the 2009 season, with Rondo's growth, the Celtics have been called the Big Four team by the outside world.

However, they don't stop there. With the addition of O'Neal this season, the Celtics have officially become a Big Five team.

In his average playing time of 20.3 minutes per game this season, O'Brien was able to contribute 9.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.1 blocks. In one game, he even made 9 of 10 shots and scored 25 points and 11 rebounds.

But Jiang Chao actually knows that the last season of O'Neal's career will be this season.

This year's Celtics Big Five, in fact, except for Rondo, the other four have already passed their peak, and the youngest Garnett is also 35 years old.

If these five people were all at the peak of their respective careers, then Jiang Chao would be afraid, but now, he feels more excited.

You will have a greater sense of accomplishment if you step on top of a strong team!

Let’s take a look at this team’s lineup first.

Point guard Rondo is a rare passing genius in NBA history, having won the assists title for three seasons.

On the defensive end, he has a long wingspan and excellent defensive ability. He once won the steals title and was selected to the All-Defensive First Team twice and the All-Defensive Second Team twice.

Shooting guard Ray Allen is one of the best three-point shooters in history. His career three-point shooting percentage of nearly 40% is very reliable. Moreover, he can both attack with the ball and make three-pointers without the ball, which is equivalent to later

Klay Thompson, Curry’s super partner.

Small forward Pierce is an offensive kaleidoscope, extremely capable in attacking tough situations, and can do anything on the court. At his peak, he could compete with Kobe James.

Power forward Garnett is the best help defender in NBA history. He has his own defensive system and is also very powerful on the offensive end.

Center O'Neal is the most powerful inside killer in history, capable of destroying all lines of defense. There is no defensive plan in history.

Apart from age, if we simply look at all the peaks, I would like to ask if the combination of O'Neal and Ray Allen is easy to solve, and whether Rondo and Ray Allen are easy to solve, and whether Pierce and Garnett can be solved together.

They don't stick to the ball very well, I'd like to ask how to solve it?

Jiang Chao also understands why the management is so uncomfortable, and some even regret the airport rest games. If they had won more than one game at that time, wouldn't they have beaten the Pacers now?

It's much easier to beat the Pacers than the Celtics who suddenly fell to sixth place.

"If you pick just 5 people in history, they can't beat this team if they are all at their peak!" This is the most liked comment by netizens, and it also makes all betting viewers buy the Celtics, who are most likely to win or win.

Each player in this lineup is a top player individually, and what's even more frightening is that their combination is so "harmonious."

Rondo has excellent organizational skills and does not need to occupy the ball;

Ray Allen, the outside turret, can shoot three-pointers at any time, which is so stable that opponents are frightened, and he does not need to occupy the ball;

Pierce can shoot and organize, and he and Garnett can support an offensive system that combines both inside and outside. Coupled with the great killer O'Neal, there is no possibility of failure for this lineup.

Even for the 1996 Bulls, even if Ray Allen and Pierce were locked up by Jordan Pippen on the outside, the Celtics, who were good at attacking positions, could still erode the Bulls' outside advantage by relying on their inside advantage.

Jiang Chao actually felt that if he had to be so aggressive, it would be even less important to face the Warriors. Without the traditional inside line to limit O'Neal, O'Neal would be in no one's land. Hasn't O'Neal been considered by fans for a long time? If he was in the small ball era, there would be no small ball.

A terminator of the football era?

Garnett is the opposite. He is a superstar born for the small ball era, the ultimate version of Dream Chaser Green. If he guards Durant, Durant will probably struggle...

but……

Time makes people grow old. They are already old. They are already 35 years old. What are they afraid of?

The Knicks are a bunch of 20-year-olds who are afraid of old boys????

Yao Ming, the oldest player in the starting lineup, is only 31 years old!

Therefore, he personally went to the training hall to teach the team a training method.
To be continued...
