386: The duo with the strongest firepower in the playoffs(1/2)
The Timberwolves were swept by the Suns without any suspense. If Mosaic hadn't had neither Yao Ming nor Tracy McGrady in this history, the Timberwolves would have been a team that couldn't even make the playoffs.
Therefore, it makes sense to be swept by the sun.
People joked that Garnett was swept 5-0...
After all, he also lost to the Suns in the last game of the regular season. In total, Garnett has not won a single game against the same opponent in the last five games.
Last season, KG rushed to second place in the MVP rankings. He thought his career was about to end.
As a result, this season not only failed to make a leap, but also had such an extremely shameful ending.
Li Ang was quite embarrassed during the interview and could only say angrily: "I don't know how to sympathize with them. When they fell in the playoffs, they fell by themselves and had nothing to do with others. I
In fact, you may think that I am a Versailles person, but I really did not hit him harshly."
Sweeping the Hard Team 4-0, not to mention Hard Team being embarrassed, Li Ang was also embarrassed.
It's so inappropriate for everyone to look up and not see down. It's so inappropriate to sweep them away at every turn.
But there's nothing you can do about it. Who do you blame if you don't live up to your expectations?
Li Ang did not spend more time mourning his eliminated opponents, but was fully prepared to face his next rival, the Dallas Mavericks.
Men, in fact, it doesn’t matter whether they are ABC or D, they just like the latest.
Being tough is already a thing of the past for Li Ang. Now, Li Ang's soul has been taken away by the black and white pair in Dallas.
The game between the Mavericks and the Kings also went very smoothly. After four games, McGrady and his Mavericks already led 3-1.
Although the Kings and Mavericks look at the rankings, there is only one position difference, one is fourth and the other is fifth.
But the actual strength gap is larger than what the rankings indicate.
On the Kings side, Peja finally stopped being weak in the playoffs this year and is now averaging 22 points per game and a 36.7% three-point shooting percentage.
But Bibby and old cat Mobley are soft.
The Mavericks are not a strong defensive team, but Bibby and Mobley still struggled against the Mavericks' defense.
Although Bibby averaged 19.6 points per game, his shooting percentage was only 39.1%. While averaging 6.6 assists per game, he made 2.6 turnovers.
Mobley even failed to stabilize his scoring data. He averaged 17.8 points per game in the regular season, but only 13.8 points per game in the playoffs.
Bibby and Mobley are showing off their hips, and Peja is not the kind of player who can carry the game alone.
Therefore, the Mavericks' 3-1 lead is a predictable result.
At this point, Mavericks fans are still very dissatisfied.
Because in their expectation, the Mavericks should directly sweep the Kings.
The Timberwolves were swept, so how could the Kings win another game?
Garnett: Stop it, stop it!
Angua: Don’t worry, we can talk about next season~
Angua is happy. After the Timberwolves were swept by the Suns this year, few people mentioned his 54 points.
Garnett's move is helping Angua carry the burden forward.
Angua was actually too happy too early, because...something even happier was about to happen.
In the 2005 NBA draft, there are two names that deserve special attention.
One is Andrew Bodog, who participated in the draft as a non-human for the first time.
There is another one, the king of NCAA egg-breaking, Chris Sanpao, who became famous throughout the United States for his peach-picking skills in a nationally broadcast game during his college years.
When the three guns came, Agua's peace came.
When the three guns come, no one will remember the 54 points anymore.
Here is a quote from the famous basketball poet Du Fu, ah no, Du Feng: "54 points is nothing!"
Agua truly feels that he has turned a corner. Not only was he not defeated by Leon this season, but in the series against the SuperSonics, Agua also achieved his first career playoff victory.
He felt that he was really walking.
Ajan said he was very envious of Agua, because Ajan was swept 4-0 this year and was eliminated in the first round.
I originally thought that this year I would become seventh in the Eastern Conference, and after successfully avoiding the Bulls, I would be able to flex my muscles in the playoffs.
However, the Cavaliers' opponent this year, the Heat, is not easy to mess with.
Don't forget, in the original history, the Heat fought the top Pistons in seven games in the Finals before losing.
If Wade hadn't been injured, there's no telling who would have made it to the Finals.
It is effortless to beat a knight who has not yet grown up with such heat.
Seeing Wade, who was also graduated in 2003, advance to the second round and he was swept, Ajan felt quite uncomfortable.
It's been two years and I haven't won a game in the playoffs.
The title of the chosen one is almost unbearable.
After being swept 4-0, people asked Ajan: "We have been swept out of the first round of the playoffs for two consecutive years. What do you think of this?"
Ajan gave full play to the unique skills he learned from Li Ang: "Oh, you know, failure is the mother of success. Great stars like Shaq were swept five times before winning the championship. Basketball games
That's it, sometimes, just by scanning, you will find that you have grown."
O'Neal really wants to blow James' head off. This is purely revenge!
I told you to talk about your own problems, why did you blame me for being swept away 5 times?
Even if you lose, you still want to disgust me.
But, that's what the playoffs are like.
No matter you are a little emperor or a wolf king, no matter how famous you are.
In the real playoffs, if it doesn't work, it just won't work.
James and Garnett can be said to have been affected by the butterfly effect triggered by Li Ang.
In original history, when James played in the playoffs for the first time, he made a splash and reached the tiebreaker of the conference finals.
Now, because of the various changes brought about by Li Ang, the Cavaliers have been swept in the first round for two consecutive years.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! James’ resume is completely different.
But you can't say that the James of this history is weaker than the James of the original history.
In original history, James couldn't make the playoffs in the first two years, so he definitely wouldn't lose.
Just like many people say, Li Ang can never surpass Jordan because Li Ang lost in the finals but Jordan did not.
This is purely nonsense. Just like James' situation, Jordan never even played in the finals in the past six years, so of course he will not lose.
But if you haven't played in the finals, when can you be called strong?
Isn’t it true that Li Ang will be stronger by reaching the finals in the second year?
Regarding the comparison between Jordan and Le Ang, Le Ang has not stopped since he won 72 wins.
But whether you are strong or not is not something you say, it is something you type.
The second round of the series is the moment when the real outcome will be revealed.
One day later, the Mavericks defeated the Kings 108-94 in Dallas, sweeping their opponents with a total score of 4-1 and advancing to the second round!
The focus battle between the Suns and the Mavericks is about to begin!
Dallas fans are very confident about defeating them because in the first round, McGrady averaged 25.4 points per game and Nowitzki averaged 27.2 points per game!
As long as McGrady and Dirk can perform normally, the Mavericks' offense will be almost invincible.
Although the Mavericks' record against the Suns during the regular season was 1-3, the Mavericks only won one game.
But two of them were because Tracy McGrady was not there.
Therefore, the record recognized by Mavericks fans is 1 to 1.
If you round up...the Suns and Mavericks are evenly matched!
Cuban, the boss, is more confident than his own fans: "A team with 72 wins is not invincible. What is the scoring champion? There is another two-consecutive scoring champion on my team. We have Dirk.
There's Tracy. Actually, I just want to make some big news and knock your favorite team out of the playoffs."
Cuban has always been a person who can't speak his mind when he gets high. It's not surprising that he openly expressed hostility to the Suns.
Although Cuban has a big mouth, he is not an idiot.
If he thought that the strength of the two sides was really very different, then he would definitely not say such a thing.
But in Cuban's view, the Mavericks and Suns are really evenly matched.
He really believed that.
In the first match between the two sides this season, the Mavericks forced the Suns into a desperate situation. In the end, it was only with Li Ang's 48 points in a single game that the Suns resolved the crisis.
When they met for the second time, Li Ang did not perform so well again, so the Mavericks won that game.
To be continued...
