Chapter 829: Through two decades

In the blink of an eye, the time had come to mid-April, the annual playoffs started.
Until the end of the regular season schedule, the Clippers still maintained the fourth record in the West.
But even so, no one would underestimate the Clippers' strength when they think that the Spurs won the fourth record in the Western Conference last season.
From the perspective of fans of all parties, although the first in the West are the Nuggets and Trail Blazers, it is not these two teams that really have the chance to win the championship, but the Spurs and Clippers who play dead in the regular season.
These two teams will definitely be the most powerful contenders for the championship.
Last season, the Spurs battled with the Heat. In the end, the Spurs won. On the one hand, three Spurs newcomers broke out with amazing strength. On the other hand, Wade was injured...
The Heat coach was originally prepared to shorten Wade's playing time, but Wade refused, Wade drew knee fluid in advance, which made the Heat not defeated.
It is precisely because of the early extraction of knee effusion that caused Wade to suffer from chronic arthritis, and the overall state is getting worse. Only 50 games have been played this season.
Under normal circumstances, the Heat's second championship, which was won in the finals last season, if Wade did not adopt such radical treatment, the Heat are unlikely to win the Spurs in the tiebreaker.
It can be said that Wade devoted everything to the Heat, but the heat did a little disappointment. They gave Bosh a five-year top salary, but Wade was only a short-term two-year US$31 million. contract.
Why is the contract short-term? That's naturally because of Wade's potential injury risk, making the Heat dare not risk signing for five years.
As a result, no one expected that Wade, who signed a two-year contract, would be healthy and healthy in the future. Although there were occasional injuries and absences, but it was not a big deal. Instead, he signed Bosh for five years because of blood clots in the body. And completely bid farewell to the NBA stage.
Things are really unpredictable...
Not surprisingly, whether the Heat can enter the Finals this year is a matter of two words. Even if they enter the Finals, they will certainly not be the Clippers or Spurs opponents.
...
In the first round of the playoffs, the rare four teams in the first half of the western region swept their opponents 4:0. This situation is the first time Richard has known. Anyway, he entered the league and never happened. Through this collective sweeping thing.
The Clippers' opponent in the first round was the Thunder. After four games, they averaged more than 20 points per game.
The fifth position of the Thunder West is actually not weak, but mainly because there are too few main points of attack on the team. This point of Wei Shao was directly pinched by Leonard, and the point of Guo Fu was again used by Gorbert and Big Ben took turns to ravage...
Having a player like Leonard on hand is simply the happiest thing for the head coach. They don’t have to worry about how to limit the opponent’s scoring points at all. They just need to put Leonard there, and Leonard knows what to do. do.
The key effect is quite amazing.
Wei Shao was defended by Leonard and made 6.4 turnovers per game, with a shooting percentage of only 39%...
It's strange that the Clippers don't sweep the Thunder for this obvious advantage.
As for the Spurs, this time it was against the Warriors.
Last season, the Spurs West was fourth against the Warriors fifth, and this season the Spurs West was third against the Sixth Warriors...
The result can be imagined, naturally sweeping.
The Warriors are now half-dead. They are weak and can enter the playoffs every year. They are strong teams. They have been swept by the first round for two years. Which one is a strong team...
According to Richard's estimate, it may be that Mark Jackson's head coaching job is over.
In the second round of the playoffs, the Western Conference semifinals, the Clippers played against the Blazers.
This was a dispute between Weng and Son, and the Clippers didn't save Paul Allen's face at all, and eventually eliminated the Blazers with a 4:1 score to reach the Western Conference finals.
This round of the series is the most satisfying to Richard, when it comes to Gobert's performance.
Once upon a time, Gorbert was pressed by Oden on the ground and rubbed on the ground, which was miserable.
Now, although Gorbert is still not Oden's opponent, at least he has been able to limit some Oden, and will not let Oden do whatever he wants in the basket.
Oden couldn't do whatever he wanted. Granger was so deadly watched by Leonard that the Blazers could hardly turn over.
After the two rounds of the series, Leonard's desperate defense is already frightening.
There is no doubt that Leonard is now at the peak of his defense.
Under normal circumstances, Leonard also won the finals MVP honor this year.
As for the offensive end, Leonard still has room for improvement on the offensive end, but it is better than Sun Yue.
The Spurs and Nuggets series also had the same big score of 4:1. The Spurs got a chance to advance.
The West side has completed the following situation in the Western Semifinals, which is also the only one in NBA history.
Instead, it was the situation in the east that caused fans to frown.
In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Heat were killed by the piston led by Yao Ming. The two sides fought the tiebreaker. As a result, Yao Ming played bravely in the last battle, which is completely the kind of bravery that no one can limit.
The Heat's inside line is not good, although Bosh is good, but in recent years he has reduced the tonnage due to the needs of the team. Although he has become more flexible, but the smaller tonnage also means that the penalty area is weaker, and naturally it is more Not Yao Ming's opponent.
As a result of this tie-breaking game, Yao Ming led the team to victory over the Heat with 47 points, 19 rebounds and 5 blocks.
The Pistons have not been able to reach the Eastern Conference for some years. They have always been the position of the third in the East. Now they are finally exhaled.
The Eastern Finals were extremely fierce. Yao Ming also fought his old life. He knew his situation very well. He is now 33 years old and there are not many peaks to fight.
If he can't take the Pistons further in the past two years, then he may not have a play in his next career.
In the history of the NBA, there are some old monsters in the interior. They can still maintain a very good state at the age of forty, but most of the insiders immediately decline after the age of thirty-five.
Even O'Neal, the most dominant in history, is no exception.
Yao Ming asked himself if he was definitely not that kind of old monster. After he turned 30, he already had some feelings that he couldn't help himself. Many of the goals he could stabilize at the peak~EbookFREE.me~Now it is difficult to score goals stand up.
After the age of thirty-five, Yao Ming felt that his career was almost over.
So taking advantage of these last two years, how could he not work hard.
Unfortunately for the final result, Yao Ming got to the sixth game, probably because he was too tired, and because of his age, he was directly injured.
Without Yao Ming's Pistons, he was unable to defeat the army and was taken away by the Hornets.
Richard watched this round of competition, he was sighing, Yao Ming was also a 33-year-old guy.
I am 46 years old now, and I am 50 years old in a few years, and this year is also the twentieth year that Richard has traversed.
It came through in 1994, and now is 2014...
It's really a blink of an eye, 20 years have passed.
