The next day, Wang Tiejun made an appointment with his accountant, Rambo Bais.
The personal income tax deadline in the United States is April 15th. You must send your tax returns before then. If you are one day late, you will be in trouble.
Rambo and Baisi handed him a stack of statements to read. He couldn't understand it, but I believe that Baisi didn't dare to deceive him, otherwise he would be legally responsible.
In the past year, including national and state taxes, he paid more than $5 million in personal income tax, without much deduction.
This is because he has little investment in the United States and all his money has been brought back to the country, which means that some consumption can be deducted, such as buying a house or a car, but not much.
On March 26, the Lakers suddenly announced the termination of their contract with head coach Randy Fender, and then Lakers legend Magic Johnson served as the interim head coach to coach the remaining 16 regular season games.
On March 27, the Suns faced Mosaic at home, which was the last regular season game for both sides.
In the end, the Suns lost.
In this game, Lao Wang deliberately restrained himself. The playoffs are coming soon. The Mosaics are the Suns' main opponent, so he needs to retain some strength.
The schedule has entered the final month of April, and the teams that have not made it to the top eight, but are hopeful of making it, have begun their final madness.
There are also a few teams that are messing around and trying to get a good pick.
This year's draft situation is still good. Glenn Robinson and Grant Hill are both talented and well-known draft players in the United States. There are also Michigan's Five Tigers Juwan Howard, Jaylen Rose, Jason Kidd, and Eddie Jones. Although
It's not a big draft year, but the quality is decent.
The Suns' injury situation is not bad. Kevin Johnson has recovered from his injuries after adequate rest. Others are also doing well. There have been no major injuries in the whole season.
Lao Wang himself also played 82 games without a truce, and basically had no injury problems.
There is no problem with his upper body. His lower limbs are being massaged with medicated oil, and his ability to resist injuries is improving step by step. In addition, he is still less than 21 years old, so there are no injuries that bother him for the time being.
In addition, his bear step was also one of the reasons why there were no injuries.
The bear step is flat on the ground, so it is not easy to step on other people's feet while moving. Moreover, his defense is not very active, and he rarely does changes of direction that are prone to injury.
And with his wingspan, he doesn't have to jump very high when doing a layup or dunk, and he's less likely to land on his feet and sprain his feet.
On April 18, the Bulls made history and achieved a record of 70 wins and 10 losses, breaking the Lakers' regular season record of 69 wins and 13 losses created by Zhang Dashuai in the 1971/72 season, and ranked first in history.
And this data will give us the opportunity to move forward.
The Bulls have two regular season games left, both at home, the first against the Celtics and the second against the Knicks.
On the 22nd, the Bulls defeated the Celtics at home and made history again.
On the 24th, the Bulls completed all regular schedules this season and defeated the Knicks, creating a record of 72 wins and 10 losses.
This record pushed the reputation of the Bulls and Jordan to the highest point. The call for the Bulls to create a dynasty reappeared, and countless American media were cheering for Jordan and the Bulls.
On April 27, the regular season schedule for all teams ends.
In terms of regular season record, in the Western Conference, Mosaic ranks first with 65 wins and 17 losses, second is the SuperSonics with 61 wins and 21 losses, and third is the Suns with 60 wins and 22 losses.
The Sonics lost a lot later, but the Suns also lost 7 of the next 29 games and failed to surpass them.
After the Suns, they are the Spurs, Warriors, Trail Blazers, Nuggets, and Jazz.
The Jazz finally made it to the playoffs. After Postman came back, he helped the team make it to the playoffs. However, his condition has declined a bit compared to before, and he should still need to adapt.
The first-round games in the Western Conference are Mosaic vs. Jazz, Spurs vs. Warriors, SuperSonics vs. Nuggets, and Suns vs. Trail Blazers.
In the second round, the winners of the first two groups and the last two groups will face each other respectively.
In the Eastern Conference, the Bulls finished the regular season with a record of 72 wins and 10 losses, dominating the league.
After the Bulls, they are the Hawks, Knicks, Magic, Pacers, Cavaliers, Nets, and Heat.
The Hawks were led by Dominique Wilkins and had two All-Stars in Kevin Willis and Danny Manning. They were so strong that they surpassed the Knicks and won 57 games, ranking second in the Eastern Conference.
The first round games in the Eastern Conference are: Bulls vs. Heat, Magic vs. Pacers, Hawks vs. Nets, and Knicks vs. Cavaliers.
The second round is the same as the Western Conference.
The dates for the playoffs are very tight. The regular season will finish on the 27th and the playoffs will begin on the 28th.
In the East and West, the first two groups will start their G1 battle on the 28th, and the third and fourth groups will start their G1 battle on the 29th.
Wang Tiejun played 82 regular season games in the 1993/94 season, averaging 35.3 minutes, 25.1 points, 12.5 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 0.8 steals, 2.8 blocks, 2.1 turnovers and 3.6 fouls per game.
He averaged 17.5 shots per game and his field goal percentage was 56.2%. It was 48.8% last season, which was a lot improved.
This data is already higher than the three super centers, but lower than O'Neal's 59.9%.
This is because his proportion of offense at the basket is not as good as O'Neal's. The Sharks' offense at the basket reached 52%. He only had 48% this year, which is the same as last season.
He averaged 9.2 free throws per game and his shooting percentage was 60.2%, which was higher than last season's 57%.
He is the Suns' leading scorer, first in rebounds, first in blocks, and second in assists.
In terms of the efficiency of the main players and important substitute players, his offensive efficiency ranks first and his defensive efficiency ranks fourth. This defense indeed drags down his evaluation. He rarely participates in assisting defense in the regular season, even if his mobility has improved.
Those whose defensive efficiency is above him include AC Green, Thorpe, and Kevin Johnson.
On the day the regular season ended, the league announced some statistics and personal honors through the media.
In terms of data, the most important thing is the mvp ranking.
The Bulls, Mosaic, SuperSonics, and Suns are the four 60-win teams in the league. The SuperSonics are limited to team play, and no one is in the top ten of this ranking. Combining personal data, Jordan is first, second is Big Dream, and third
The third is Wang Tiejun.
Jordan won the scoring title, averaging 34.1 points per game, a new high in six seasons.
The rebounding leader is Dennis Rodman, with 17.3 rebounds, including 5.7 offensive rebounds, accounting for 33%. This is also his third consecutive rebounding leader.
The leader in blocks is Mutombo, averaging 4.1 per game.
The steal leader is Nate McMillan, averaging 3 per game.
The assist leader is John Stockton. This guy is really good. After losing his partner Postman, he can still average 10.8 assists per game.
The data is 1.2 times worse than last season, but that is because of the lack of Postman. His condition is still at its peak. This is also the seventh time in a row that he has won the assists title.
The best coach is Lanny Wilkens, the head coach of the Hawks. He led the team to a record of 57 wins and 25 losses, second in the Eastern Conference, which is worthy of the award.
The Most Improved Player goes to Con McCron, with 6.62 data last season and 18.26.22 this season.
The Best Sixth Man Award went to Dell Curry of the Hornets, who has a six-year-old son named Stephen Curry.
The Rookie of the Year is No. 1 pick Chris Webber, who was also selected to the All-Rookie First Team.
The most important honor for the Bulls this time is DPOY, which was given to Olajuwon, who was also the same last year. This is his second DPOY.
On the 28th, the Suns will rest and prepare for tomorrow's G1 game.
On the 27th, major media announced their guesses for the first round and the championship.
Take espn as an example. They believe that the Bulls will win the championship, with a 75% chance of winning. The second-ranked team is Mosaic, with a 51% chance of winning.
At the breakfast table, Comrade Wang saw the Suns' championship probability. ESPN gave it 5%, which was six percentage points less than the 11% at the beginning of the season. Is this a beggar?
However, ESPN believes that the Suns have a chance to advance to the Western Conference Finals, but the chance of making it out of the Western Conference will not be higher than 20%.
"Tie Jun, what are the chances today?" Liu Changfeng asked.
Shaking his head, Lao Wang said: "I still have shortcomings. I can't guard against the low attack of Dameng and Barkley. If they use a human shield to entangle me, my help defense will be even worse. I really don't have much chance this year."
But you still have to work hard, and opportunities are created by hard work, right? If I had not come to the United States and gone to the south to work, I might still be working in a factory today."
Liu Changfeng nodded, but he believed that even if he fought hard, the result would still depend on one's luck.
Like himself, he was very capable of risking his life in martial arts, but the people from the port city he followed just didn't give him a chance and offered him a low salary, so it was useless to work hard.
In the evening, after having dinner and resting for a while, Lao Wang took a medicated bath, did a medicated oil massage, and turned on the system.
Today, he completed the remaining three training sessions for three months.
Balance, improved by 6 levels, now is level 82/87.
The bounce and bounce height are increased by 2 levels, and the bullet speed is increased by 3 levels. It is now level 70/73, level 75/75, and overall level 72/74.
Rebounding, upgraded by 2 levels, is now level 94.
It was almost eight o'clock when he came to the living room. His cousin Liu Changfeng had already turned on the TV. The game was about to start.
"Tiejun, which one are you watching?" Liu Changfeng asked enthusiastically.
After one season, he has become an NBA fan. He likes watching games and almost understands some of the rules.
"Let's watch the Magic and the Pacers. There is no suspense about the other two groups." He thought about it and then said.
More than two hours later, at 89:88, the Pacers defeated the Magic on the road with a one-point advantage.
This is not an upset, because the Magic are fourth in the Eastern Conference during the regular season and the Pacers are fifth. The two teams have similar records and similar strengths, with only a three-win gap.
At the same time, the Bulls defeated the Heat.
"Tiejun, O'Neal performed well. He actually grabbed 19 rebounds, 24 points and 5 blocks." Liu Changfeng said.
Lao Wang analyzed: "The Magic rotation lineup is too small, there are only nine people, in fact only eight people participate in the rotation.
The Pacers have 11 people participating in the rotation. If they continue to play like this, they will have a physical advantage.
In addition, the Pacers defended well. They had 17 steals in the game, while the Magic only had 9. They also lost a few rebounds. Although the shooting rate was higher, they still lost one point."
After a while, the results of the two games in the Western Conference came out.
Mosaic easily defeated the Jazz, and the Spurs also defeated the Warriors, but the score difference was not big, only 6 points.
David Robinson scored 25 points, but only had 8 rebounds. His performance was average and the strength of the super center was not fully demonstrated.
On the morning of the 29th, Wang Tiejun came to the team headquarters and participated in the tactical meeting.
That night, the Suns easily defeated the Trail Blazers and won the G1 game.
Wang Tiejun made 11 of 16 shots, a field goal percentage of 68.7, and 8 of 14 free throws. He scored 30 points, 15 rebounds and 4 assists.
At the same time, the SuperSonics also defeated the Nuggets at home.
In the Eastern Conference, the Hawks defeated the Nets and the Knicks defeated the Cavaliers.
After two days, there was no upset, basically in line with the media’s prediction before the game, the strong team won.
On May 2nd, the Magic played the G3 game against the Pacers.
In the first two games, the Magic lost consecutive games at home. The G3 game was a life-and-death battle that could not be lost. It was a 3-win format in 5 games. If they lost again, they would be swept.
In the G2 game, O'Neal was limited by the opponent's foul tactics and did not perform well. He made 3 of 8 shots, 9 of 18 free throws, and only scored 15 points and 7 rebounds.
In the evening, after finishing the medicated bath and medicated oil massage, Lao Wang sat in front of the TV again.
The Suns won another victory last night, winning two consecutive games at home. The G3 game is scheduled for the 4th, with three days in between. They will not go to the away game tomorrow.
At this time, his cell phone rang. When he looked at the number, ha, it was the fat guy O'Neal calling.
"It's almost time to go on stage, why are you calling my phone?" After muttering, he pressed the call button.
"Brother, please help us, we are almost eliminated." O'Neal's pitiful voice came over.
"Don't be nervous, big sewer, turn on your power, use your maximum water volume to flush those guys like Reggie Miller into the septic tank." He laughed loudly.
"Don't be ridiculous, old K, putting out emergencies is like putting out fires. I don't want to enter the playoffs for the first time and be swept in the first round!" O'Neal lamented.
"Shaq, don't worry, just like my buckle, you will gradually get used to being swept." He couldn't help laughing.
The sound was muted for a moment, and O'Neill's curse suddenly sounded: "Old K, you bastard, you idiot, it won't be long before you go fishing like me."
"Ha ha……"
Lao Wang laughed and hung up the phone.
Two hours later, 0:3, the Magic were swept by the Pacers, who were ranked lower in the regular season.
This is also the first time a team has been eliminated, and it was humiliatingly swept out.
He hung up the phone and went over to comfort Shark, but the call was cut off. Apparently Shark was angry and wouldn't answer his call.
The next day, the Suns flew to the away game.
That night, the Bulls swept the Heat with three wins. The team that was eliminated for the second time appeared and was also swept in shame.
On the night of the 4th, the Suns defeated their opponents three times and completed a sweep of the Trail Blazers. The third team to be swept out was born.
In this game, Wang Tiejun scored 24 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks, bringing his total score in the playoffs to 500 points, and was rewarded with 200 points from the system.
In addition, after completing the first round sweep of the playoffs, you will also receive a reward of 500 points.
On the 5th, Mosaic lost to the Jazz, and the two teams played 2-1.
Postman has been in average form since his comeback, but he has played better and better since entering the playoffs. He scored 33 points in this game and led the team to defeat the opponent.
On the 6th, the first upset of the playoffs occurred. The Sonics, second in the Western Conference, were eliminated by the Nuggets with a big score of 2:3 and suffered a black seven.
Head coach George Karl was so angry that he almost suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, and his face turned as black as iron after being eliminated.
On the 7th, although the postman's condition recovered and the Jazz was extremely strong, in the end the super inside combination of Dameng and Barkley was still better. They successfully won the G4 game, defeated the black and white duo, and advanced with a big score of three to one.
Second round.
After winning the Jazz, Dameng and Barkley breathed a sigh of relief. If they were eliminated in the first round, their face would be lost in the Pacific Ocean.
As the first round ends, the second round begins.
In the second round of the Eastern Conference, the Bulls faced the Pacers and the Hawks faced the Knicks.
In the second round of the Western Conference, the Suns faced the Nuggets and the Mosaics faced the Spurs.
The second round will start on the 8th and 10th, with the Bulls and Pacers, the Suns and Nuggets in the front, and the other two groups in the back.
Although the Nuggets are only seventh in the Western Conference, they are very strong if they can reach seven, so the Suns are very cautious and held a team-wide tactical meeting on the morning of the 8th.
Colangelo is in a good mood. His earlier goal for this season was to reach the second round, and now he has achieved his set goal.
Moreover, Old K performed well in the regular season, and together with Kevin Johnson, he supported this team.
Lightning Kevin also performed like a superstar in the regular season, averaging 20 points, 9.5 assists and 1.9 steals per game. His condition was even better than last season when he won the championship.
Judging from Kevin Johnson's condition, he should be able to last two or three seasons without any problem, which makes him very happy.
He analyzed the current lineup. Old K has steadily improved his strength this season. He will strengthen the lineup in the next offseason. Maybe he will have the strength of a championship team next season. This shows that he has improved in the last offseason.
The decision made was correct.
Regarding the next second round, he believes that the team should win and it is very likely to advance to the Western Conference Finals.
However, he feels that there is still little hope for victory in the Western Conference Finals. The mosaic teamed up by Dameng and Barkley is indeed very strong, and the Suns' current lineup is still not enough.
He and the media have similar views. Old K’s offense is very strong, but his defense is still weak, especially the assist defense. He cannot defend the paint area, causing the opponent to score too smoothly. This is something that Old K should improve.
ability.
But Lao K is still young and he has enough patience.
At this time, head coach Westphal began to analyze the Nuggets' situation and said: "Mutombo's defense is very strong and his ability to protect the basket is outstanding. In the first round series against the SuperSonics, he scored 23 goals in 5 games.
Big blocks, averaging 4.6 per game, higher than the regular season average of 4.1 per game, and his scoring ability in the playoffs is also stronger than in the regular season..."
Lao Wang smacked his lips below. Lao Mu's defensive ability was indeed one that could make him drool. It was so rare.
Westphal added: "Their five starters can all score, averaging more than ten points per game, and their shots are average. None of them scores more than 20. Our defense must keep up and not leave them open. In this game
We have no double teams..."
That night, the American West Arena was brightly lit and full of people. The stadium was packed with nearly 20,000 people. The buzzing noise kept lingering in everyone's ears, making people's emotions involuntarily enter the excitement.
In this state, adrenaline has also entered a hypersecretory state.
