Rookie against Jordan, I became the god of basketball

Chapter 143 The big dream shows loyalty, and the major awards are released.

After sweeping the Rockets 3:0, the Sonics became the first team to appear in the playoffs.

The Jazz and the Clippers played 2:1. Since the first game was overturned to the Clippers, the Jazz played steadily in the next two games. Knowing that Payton is strong in defense, Jeff Malone turned into a toolman pitcher and stopped playing randomly.

The biggest problem for the Clippers is their lack of experience in the playoffs. Except for Ricky Pierce and Payton, everyone else can't play in the playoffs, and they are determined by the Utah duo.

The Cavaliers also played 2:1 with the Bullets. The script was similar to that of the Jazz. After losing the first game, Brad Doherty willingly gave up the ball and took the The performance opportunity is given to teammates.

Relying on better lineup depth, the Bullets have lost by single digits in two consecutive games. Although the contrast is not great, the game process is disappointing. The Cavaliers' solid and stable performance makes the Bullets helpless.

The next day, the Bulls beat Miami away, also completing a sweep, becoming the second team to reach the second round of the playoffs.

At the same time, the Blazers also successfully swept the Spurs 3:0, and also entered the second round of the playoffs.

David Robinson still suffered a torn ligament in his left hand. As in his previous life, the Spurs without the Admiral became a playoff bonus for bullying. The Blazers swept them without any difficulty.

The Sonics, Bulls and Trail Blazers were the only three teams to complete a sweep.

Many people thought that the Knicks could also sweep the Pistons, but Rodman returned to normal in the third game, scoring 15 points and 14 rebounds, narrowing the rebounding gap between the Pistons and the Knicks. In addition, Ewing made 27 of 9 shots. With only 10 of 6 free throws and 24 of [-] free throws, the Pistons finally won a difficult game at home.

The most impressive thing about this game is that Lambiel played tricks on Ewing in the middle of the game. As a result, he tried to push down Ewing and failed. When he failed, he was spotted by Ewing and was directly knocked down by an elbow.

Then Lambir found sadly that he was beaten, but no one on the team could stand up for him.

Rodman and Lambiel were at odds with each other. No one knew what was going on in his mind all the time. Neither Thomas nor Dumars liked to cause trouble. Thomas just liked to make small moves and didn't like court violence. If you are beaten, you must stop your teammates from going up to take revenge.

Although this is just a trivial matter, Lambiel felt from this trivial matter that the "bad boy" of the Pistons has existed in name only, and some thoughts of retirement came to mind.

He played in the NBA just to beat people up. Over the years, he has beaten up many stars, big and small. With his current body, he may not be able to succeed if he is fully prepared.

Thanks to this magical era, every powerful star has the awareness of protecting his body. Avoiding black elbows and preventing stepping are necessary basic skills for stars of this era.

In the first round of the playoffs, the most surprising thing was the series where the Pacers played against the Celtics, because in the first two games, the Pacers went up with a gram and directly led Kyle 2-0 Special people!

Miller's three-point lore in the first game and the quasi-three-point lore in the second game almost defeated the Celtics' spiritual defense.

You must know that the first two games were played at the Celtics' home court. The Celtics averaged 12 more free throws per game.

Then in the third game, something unexpected happened...Bird made a comeback at a critical moment!
In the first game of his comeback, Bird started the game, relying on the closed needle to feel no pain, scored 21 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in a single game.

In the second game, Bird still started the game. Although he only had 16 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, he still defeated the Pacers again by two points.

The most crucial game of the fifth game, after two consecutive closed games, even if he didn't feel pain, Bird couldn't even stand up, so he had to come off the bench, and he only played 14 minutes, with only 8 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.

Although Bird, who made the Pacers fearful, was gone, but from a 2:0 lead to a 2:2 tie, the Pacers lost their hearts, and the last game was a mess, and the Celtics had the last laugh. Successfully won the promotion qualification.

The Celtics and Pacers aren't the only series to go five games.

The Suns and the Warriors, the Knicks and the Pistons, and the Clippers played the Jazz. These games also reached the fifth game.

The teams that eventually advanced to the second round were: the Sonics, Trail Blazers, Jazz, and Warriors in the West; the Bulls, Cavaliers, Knicks, and Celtics in the East.

Although the process is very similar, the final result is very flat. In the end, the teams from the upper half of the east and west eliminated the teams from the lower half. But in the end they didn't overturn.

The four groups of games in the second round of the playoffs are: Sonics VS Warriors, Trail Blazers VS Jazz, Bulls VS Celtics, Cavaliers VS Knicks.

If it is unlucky for the Supersonics to beat the Rockets in the first round, then it is definitely a blessing for the Supersonics to beat the Warriors in the second round.

The Supersonics started to rest on April 4th, and only played the first game of the second round on May 27th. They rested for a full 5 days in the middle, while the Warriors only finished the tiebreaker with the Suns on May 6th, and their physical fitness was completely exhausted. Law and supersonic ratio.

When the playoffs are in full swing, there are also various news about the NBA off the court.

Apart from the Dream Team, the most concerned thing is that after the playoffs, Dameng did not return to Houston, but continued to stay in Seattle to have a good time. During this period, he was photographed by reporters and secretly met with Lu Feng.

In fact, it wasn't considered a secret meeting, the two just sat and ate together openly, with no intention of covering up at all.

"Yes, I am indeed recruiting Hakeem, he is a respectable opponent, he almost defeated us in the first round, now that I have the opportunity to be a teammate with him, I will naturally strive for it.

Boss?It could be me, or it could be him. Hakim and I have made an agreement that when the time comes, we will speak with our strength. Whoever plays better will be the leader of the team. In singles, I believe that if we can cooperate, we will be able to play exquisite coordination. "

At first, Lu Feng felt that the chances of the Supersonics winning the Big Dream were low, but Akley was too interested in the Big Dream. want.

Finding that Dameng hadn't left Seattle, Lu Feng plucked up the courage to take the initiative to find the other party, but it was okay not to go, but after he went, he found that Dameng really had the idea of ​​joining the supersonic!

For Dameng to join the Supersonic, Lu Feng of course welcomed him with both hands and feet, and asked a peak all-around Dameng, who wouldn't want it?

And just like what he said, Dameng really didn't want to be a younger brother, so Lu Feng agreed with Dameng that whoever played well would be the boss. Dameng thought that he was no weaker than Lu Feng, and readily accepted Lu Feng Maple's proposal.

Competing internally with a conscience, Lu Feng believes that Dameng will not be completely Buddhist after winning two championships like in the previous life. Of course, it doesn't matter if Dameng still fails. The Rockets sell tickets. With the Rockets' operating strategy, I believe they will not refuse when the attendance rate will collapse. There is a high probability that they will send a lot of draft picks to say thank you to the Supersonics!
"I did have the intention of leaving the Rockets, I don't think there's anything wrong with that, I don't feel any respect in Houston!

I feel a respect from Rucker that I have never had in all my years in Houston!
Of course, it doesn't have to be the Supersonics. I have many choices. I believe that no one can refuse me and Olajuwon! "

Realizing that Dameng was really going to leave this time, the Rockets were really in a hurry, and hurriedly took various remedial measures to keep them. The first thing they did was to show their attitude to Dameng.

So what did the Rockets do - the Rockets directly fired Tang Shuai!

The Rockets were swept by the Supersonic, purely due to coach Tang Shuai's bad tactics!
That's right, this is the Rockets' explanation to Dameng and the fans. Anyway, the Rockets uniform team has no problems, and it's definitely not because they don't reinforce!
Dameng was dumbfounded. The only two people he had a good relationship with in the Rockets were Maxwell and Tang Shuai. He had conflicts with the Rockets so many times before, in order to let the Rockets strengthen them. In the end, he was fooled so many times and still It didn't change, and it really didn't help.

Big Dream: Why don’t you open Maxwell together?
Although Dameng and Maxwell are in a competitive relationship, the personal relationship between the two is not bad, and the relationship with Tang Shuai is not to be said. With the Rockets coming like this, Dameng is completely chilled by the Rockets.

Listening to Dameng's complaint, Lu Feng didn't know how to reply for a while.

Rocket’s operation is indeed cerebral palsy, but Rocket’s cerebral palsy does not need to be verified. There is no most cerebral palsy, only more cerebral palsy. This wave of operation is really normal in Lu Feng’s opinion.

Not to mention anything else, the fact that the Rockets have always only used the cheapest coaches is completely unreasonable in Lu Feng's view. Although the history of the Rockets seems to have had bad coaches, when those coaches came to the Rockets, they were all He had just experienced a serious Waterloo, and the market price plummeted before he was found by the Rockets.

The most famous coach in the history of the Rockets is Tang Shuai, but when the Rockets used Tang Shuai at the beginning, it was purely for the advantage of the other party. They signed a child labor contract and used it directly. I was lucky enough to meet Jordan's retirement and the peak of the dream.

"You don't need to care about this, Hakeem, you will have nothing to do with the Rockets immediately, no matter what they do, it will not surprise you, if the dog bites you, do you want to bite back?
Look forward, after you and I join forces, we will definitely be able to rule this era and make the Sonics the next Celtics. When you retire, look at the rings on both hands, will you still Do you care what the Rockets are doing now? "

Dameng was said to be proud, and found out what it really is. As long as he wins the championship, the Rockets will definitely become a clown. No matter what they do, they will be treated as a clown when they are reviewed in the future. This is the real murderer!
"You're talking about Lak, don't talk about it, let's just have a toast, and wish us a happy cooperation in the future!"

Lu Feng readily accepted Dameng's invitation. What pleased him the most was that Dameng's will was so obvious that Supersonic was at the forefront in recruiting Dameng.

Now the big dream is to put on a supersonic jersey, and even the referees are his own, Lu Feng has no idea what other people should do to compete with him!
Lu Feng: The referees and judges are all mine, why do you fight me!

Afterwards, the matter of Dameng meeting Lu Feng again was exposed by the media. The Rockets really broke their defenses this time and scolded Lu Feng and Dameng in various ways.

There is nothing to scold Lu Feng, anyway, Lu Feng dismantles the opponent's team and doesn't talk about martial arts.

Before Lu Feng responded, the Seattle fans couldn't help but speak first.

Fans: Ren Lu Feng is a big dream of conquering by strength, and the big dream doesn't talk, what are you talking about?
The Supersonics are attracting big dreams. Apart from Akeley himself, the most excited is the Supersonics fan group, Lu Feng + Olajuwon, the Supersonics are directly invincible.

Even if the Celtics reincarnated the filthy division of the 11-consecutive dynasty, the Sonics would dare to touch it... Oh, Russell is in the Sonics now, so it's okay.

Seeing that Lu Feng couldn't move, Rocket changed his mind and turned to target Dameng.

Then the Rockets announced an eye-popping news: Dameng didn't get sick at all at the end of the season, it was completely pretending to be sick!

Although the Rockets have no direct evidence, they bluntly say that the Rockets’ poor performance this season is all because Dameng, if he hadn't feigned illness, the Rockets would not have met the Sonics in the first round, let alone be swept by the Sonics in the first round.

When the conflict between Rocket and Dameng was the most intense in the previous life, Rocket did the same thing, but the difference from the previous life is that Dameng did not choose to acquiesce this time.

Dameng stepped forward and admitted: "That's right, I'm just pretending to be sick. At worst, wages will be deducted, and I will refund the money to you. Anyway, the contract is clearly written, and I can refuse to play.

I've been buffing the team years ago, but you're getting all the cheapest players in the league, you think I don't know?
Since the Rockets have this attitude, why should I work hard for you?

I like Houston, and I like Houston fans. Of course, I want to bring Houston back a championship. Each of us is working hard, but the management of the Rockets has been holding us back. This team is not worthy of my loyalty. !

If there is a team willing to move to Houston, or Houston to add another NBA team, as long as the sincerity is enough, I am willing to give up other teams and stay in Houston, anyway, as long as it is not the Rockets. "

Dameng is stubborn to the end, and would rather face the Rockets head-on if his word-of-mouth gets worse. This time, the Rockets are completely helpless. Even if Dameng admits it, the best result for the Rockets to accuse him is that Dameng is defrauding him, and it is not necessarily true. get it.

Rocket didn't want to be a clown, and knew he couldn't keep Dameng, so he never said anything since then.

But things have developed to this point, how could the Rockets not be scolded, Lu Feng relied on experience to guide Dameng to respond only to the Rockets, not to the Houston fans, and to speak more good things for Houston. The deputy dream is still fighting to the death, but the rocket has already surrendered.

The result is: the Rockets were criticized by Houston fans for a while. In the past few years, the fans didn't know what they did. They tried again and again to test the bottom line of the big dream, thinking that the other party had no temper. This is all right , Dameng is really leaving, and everyone will have nothing to play in the future!
Dameng didn't expect that a few hidden mines buried in the words would have such an effect!
Seeing the Rockets being scolded, Dameng felt better than not being scolded anymore, and immediately trusted Lu Feng even more. Although everyone was not a teammate, Dameng felt that Lu Feng could indeed come out, and he really had an idea when something happened. The idea is really useful!
The second round of the playoffs has not yet started, but the media can't wait to see what Lu Feng and Dameng's cooperation will look like.

What's more, some media even simulated the supersonic speed after Dameng joined, and compared it with the Celtics, the original dynasty.

Of course, there are also some media who are slanting their swords and opposing Dameng's joining the Supersonics.

TNT: "Dismantling the team and digging out the stars, Lu Feng's face is gone!" "

ESPN: "Lu Feng + Olajuwon, the Supersonics are disrupting the balance, and the league must intervene!" "

The Dream and the Rockets collapsed. Although it seems that the Supersonics have the best chance to get the Dream, every other team feels that they still have a chance!
It's just that Dameng has not officially signed a contract with the Supersonics, and it is impossible for other teams to follow Dameng.

Lakers, Heat, Knicks, Suns...

All the bosses who still have money are all courting Big Dream, and the coaches in the league are all boasting about Big Dream: selflessness, strength, leadership...

The only two words stand out—want!
Although there are dark waves in the league, the fans' attention has gradually moved away from the big dream, because the league began to announce various regular season awards one by one.

The first is the best rookie. There is no dispute about the candidate for the best rookie in the 91st session. It was finally accepted by the aunt Larry Johnson. The regular season averaged 21.2+11+3.2+1+0.6, and the three shooting percentages were 49%, 28.7%, and 86.2 %, Big Mom deserves the best rookie award.

However, compared to last year's Lu Feng, the fans feel that the best rookie Aunt is still a little less interesting, after all, the Hornets did not make the playoffs.

The best rookie team is led by Big Mom, five people are: Larry Johnson, Dikembe Mutombo, Billy Owens, Steve Smith and Rick Fox.

There is nothing to talk about in the second team. Except for Trier Brandon and old teammate Doug Meekins, Lu Feng doesn't know any of them. It is estimated that they are all people who will not stay in the league for many years.

Generally speaking, the quality of the 91st draft is obviously not as good as that of the 90th draft, but just looking at the top players, the quality of the 91st draft is actually not bad, and there are many talented and capable players.

At the same time, the league also announced the winner of this season's best coach. The mad scientist Nelson won the first best coach award in his life, just like his previous life.

Unlike the future NBA that regards the best head coach as a consolation prize, the 90s was an era when various basketball tactics exploded, and the gold content of every best head coach during this period is not low.

Pick and roll, triangle offense, transition fast break, Princeton, iron and blood defense, double play inside, magic ball, sewer...

The NBA coaches of this period carried out various experiments on the basketball court. Although limited by the times and rules, only a few of them could leave their own shadows in the end, but there is no doubt that the crazy coaches of this era and their crazy tactics laid the foundation It has set a template for the development of basketball in the next 30 years, and it also gives future head coaches a variety of answers to copy.

Old Nelson, the best head coach, is not only full of gold, but also deserves his name!

And after these awards, the league's most important regular season MVP has not yet been announced. Because of the media's troubles, Lu Feng felt that he really had a chance to win the MVP, and he was inevitably a little excited.

If he can really snatch the MVP from Danzi, Lu Feng can't help being proud once.

But before the MVP is announced, the Sonics first need to touch the old Nelson who just got the COY (the best coach).

I still remember the embarrassment of winning the MVP after Nuo Tianwang was hacked in the previous life. Old Nelson, as Nuo Tianwang's mentor, Lu Feng felt that it would be interesting to send the other party a big defeat!
