I'm really strong in basketball

4 month 25 day.

The second battle continues in New York.

The Knicks, as the team with a big lead, continue to maintain their previous lineup:
Pachulia, Ma Long, Liu He, Hill, White Chocolate.

The Nets have made adjustments. The new starting lineup is:

Position [-]: Collins.

Position [-]: Kostic.

No. [-]: Brian Scalabrine.

Position [-]: Carter.

Position [-]: Kidd.

Coach Lawrence Frank realized that the Knicks' bench was far superior to that of the Nets, so letting Jefferson come off the bench could strengthen the Nets' bench.

however……

Without Jefferson, no one in the Nets' starting lineup can match Liu He.

Although Scalabrine is only 1cm taller than Liu He, his steps are much cumbersome and he cannot keep up with Liu He at all.

As soon as the game started, Liu He began to move without the ball, constantly receiving passes from Pachulia, White Chocolate, and Hill, and shooting after catching the ball. He made three consecutive three-pointers, directly beating Lawrence Frank. The coach doubts life.

In desperation, Frank could only replace Jefferson and restrict Liu He.

Liu He didn't force himself. After Jefferson came on the court, he turned to the Nets' inside line and kept giving Malone the ball. The Knicks quickly established an advantage.

When it comes to the rotation stage, the Knicks' strong bench continues to expand their advantage.

In the end, the Knicks defeated the Nets 115:104 and achieved two consecutive victories.

本场比赛，刘河砍下25分7篮板6助攻3抢断1盖帽。

希尔24分5篮板4助攻1抢断1盖帽。

Malone scored 17 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.

Crawford had 18 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.

4 month 28 day.

The third game begins in New Jersey.

In this game, Carter came down from heaven and took advantage of the power of the home court to score 40 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.

However, Liu Hehao was not inferior, scoring 38 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals.

The Knicks narrowly defeated the Nets 101:97.

This game also completely used up the last bullets of the Nets. The New Jerseyans were out of ammunition and had no fighting spirit.

In Game [-], the Nets suffered a crushing defeat from the start and were unable to resist.

In the end, the Knicks defeated the Nets 111:89, sweeping their opponents and advancing to the second round of the playoffs.

本场比赛，刘河再次砍下28分6篮板6助攻2抢断3盖帽。

整个系列赛，刘河场均砍下30.7分8篮板5助攻2.7抢断1.5盖帽，统治力一览无余。

马龙场均砍下17.5分7篮板2助攻1.5抢断，是这一轮系列赛的奇兵，42岁的老将打得篮网队的内线毫无招架之力。

It also shows from the side that the Nets' inside line is too weak and the lineup is too deformed.

After the series, the Nets also realized this. The Nets general manager said that he would find ways to improve the team's inside strength in the summer.

But that's another story.

As time went by, the remaining seven groups of duels also ended one after another.

west:

The Suns swept the Nuggets 4-0 without giving their opponents any chance.

The Spurs defeated the Kings 4-1, and the former king is now in decline.

The Rockets defeated the Sonics 4-3, defeating the top team. Yao and Mai changed their fate against fate and entered the second round together.

The Lakers defeated the Mavericks 4-3.This is also the most intense game in the first round of the playoffs.

After the game, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban jumped out and expressed his dissatisfaction with the playoff format.

This season, the Mavericks achieved an outstanding record of 57 wins and 25 losses, but due to the rules of the playoffs, they had to play the 59-23 Lakers in the first round, which was a huge disadvantage.

The Sonics only have 52 wins and 30 losses, but they can pick the Rockets, who have 51 wins and 20 losses, as their opponent.

Comparing the two, the Mavericks suffered a huge loss.

It's really unfair that strong teams like the Mavericks were eliminated in the first round, while weak teams like the Sonics and Rockets were able to advance.

Cuban called for the cancellation of the six-division rule and directly determining playoff opponents based on regular season results.

Cuban's idea has been supported by a large number of fans.

Because in this way, it will be easier for the strong teams to stay until the end, instead of being eliminated in the first round like now.

Everyone wants to see a strong showdown, not a showdown.

The league also realized the loopholes in the previous playoff rules and stated that it would re-enact new rules this summer.As for this season, the Mavericks can only admit that they are unlucky.

East side:

The Heat swept the 4ers 0-76. Iverson was unable to survive alone and lost to the combination of Sharks and Flash.

The Pistons eliminated the Wizards 4-1. General Arenas performed a miracle, but the miracle only happened once.

The Bulls eliminated the Celtics 4-3.

At this point, the matchups in the second round of the playoffs are announced.

west:

Suns vs. Lakers.

Spurs vs Rockets.

east:

Knicks vs Bulls.

Heat vs. Pistons.

By the second round, all those weak teams were eliminated.

Among the 8 teams, only one team has a record of less than 1 wins, and that is the Bulls.

The other seven teams are all truly strong teams.

The Knicks have a high probability of sweeping their opponents in this round and advancing first.

As for the other three groups of duels, it is estimated that they will all have to be fought to the end to determine the winner.

Especially the two sets of opponents in the West are so interesting.

As we all know, the Suns were Kobe's bitter enemy, eliminating the Lakers for two consecutive years in 06 and 07.

Kobe is known as the killer of the Suns. He has defeated the Suns many times in his career. He even had the legendary experience of first tying the Suns and then defeating the Suns in one game.

I wonder who will defeat whom this time?

In another matchup, Tracy McGrady cannot be said to be the Spurs' sufferer, but can only be said to be a demon that makes the Spurs' livers tremble when they see him.

It was this season, specifically on December 2004, 12, that McGrady used a super performance of 9 seconds and 35 minutes to beat the entire Spurs team out of their bodies.

This season, the two sides met three times in the regular season, and the Rockets even had the advantage, with 3 wins and 2 loss.

邓肯场均24.7分13.7篮板2助攻1.3抢断3.7盖帽。

Yao Ming averaged 20 points, 7.3 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 2 blocks per game.

Just looking at the data, Yao Ming is absolutely inferior to Duncan.

However, facing Yao Ming, Duncan's efficiency plummeted, and his shooting percentage was only a pitiful 38.7%.

On the other hand, Yao Ming is incredibly efficient, with a shooting percentage of 61.1%.

This shows that Yao Ming can restrict Duncan to a certain extent, but Duncan cannot restrict Yao Ming at all.

Looking at it this way, the Rockets have a good chance of defeating the Spurs and reaching the Western Conference Finals.

At the same time, some of the honors this season have been announced.

First up is Rookie of the Year.

Emeka Okafor received Liu He's guidance and averaged 16.0 points, 10.9 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.8 blocks per game. He beat Ben Gordon and Howard and won the Rookie of the Year award in the 2004-2005 season.As soon as the news was announced, Liu He expressed congratulations on his personal social media:
"Emeka, I knew you were the best! You did it! Congratulations, you are the No. 2004 in the class of 1, no one else. This award is well deserved, and the league made the right choice."

As long as it makes Howard uncomfortable, Liu He will be very comfortable.

Okafor was flattered and immediately replied to Liu He: "Thank you, Liu, you have given me a lot of help. I couldn't have done this without your help."

What an honest kid.

Liu He just wanted to tell Okafor: You can do it without me.

In fact, in another time and space, Okafor defeated Howard and became the best rookie.

For Okafor, the most important thing is not the Rookie of the Year, but the following summer.

Historically, Okafor chose to gain weight this summer, and gained a lot of weight. As a result, his ankle was unable to adapt to the sudden increase in weight, and he was subsequently injured and reimbursed for the season.

This serious injury also delayed Okafor's career.

So Liu He simply called Okafor and emphasized again that he must not gain weight recklessly.

Okafor is not like ordinary black players who are cheerful and cheerful. He is a very stable and down-to-earth kid. In college, he was the player that the team coach felt most at ease with.

Simply put, just listen to advice.

Seeing Liu He being so cautious, Okafor repeatedly assured that he would definitely treat weight gain with caution.

Liu He was relieved.

He tried his best anyway, but whether he listened or not was Okafor's business. It's hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words.

Then there's the All-Rookie Team.

Rookie first team:
Emeka Okafor, Dwight Howard, Ben Gordon, Andre Iguodala, Luol Deng.

Rookie Second Team:

Josh Childress, Al Jefferson, Nenad Kostic, Jameer Nelson, Josh Smith.

Most Improved Player follows.

快船队的鲍比·西蒙斯从上赛季的7.8分4.7篮板1.7助攻0.9抢断，提升到本赛季的16.4分5.9篮板2.7助攻1.4抢断，荣膺进步最快球员。

Then there's the Sixth Man of the Year.

Crawford averaged 16.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game, beating Ben Gordon, Ricky Davis, and Earl Boykins to win the Best Sixth Man Award.

Followed by the best lineup.

This year’s All-NBA First Team:
Shaquille O'Neal, Tim Duncan, Liu He, Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash.

The former Big Three of the Lakers occupied three seats.

This made the fans sigh.

How strong would this Lakers team be if the Big Three of the Lakers hadn't disbanded?
Building a dynasty is just the minimum requirement!

Naturally, the most injured are the Lakers fans.

As for fans of the other 29 teams, they only feel that it is fortunate that the Big Three of the Lakers have disbanded, otherwise they would never be able to make a difference.

All-Pro Second Team:
Amar'e Stoudemire, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Garnett, Allen Iverson, Dwyane Wade.

The three teams of the best team:
Ben Wallace, Shawn Marion, Carmelo Anthony, Ray Allen, Tracy McGrady.

David Stern originally wanted to leave a place for James, but he suddenly discovered that except for James, all the other players who entered the All-NBA team made the playoffs, but James went home to fish.

(If Garnett's record is placed in the Eastern Conference, he can still make the playoffs.)
If this is to give James a position, some fans will definitely discover this. Once it is pointed out, it will be too ugly.

Thinking about it this way, what kind of honor is this?It’s obviously dirty water!
Not only will it not bring praise to James, it will also cause him to fall into criticism.

Stern had to give up.

I really tried my best, but there was nothing I could do about it. Who told him to fail to live up to his expectations?

Unlike jokes, Stern will abide by some bottom lines even if he has to micromanage.

As a result, James failed to enter the best team in the second year of his career.

Next is the best defensive team:
All-Defensive First Team:
Ben Wallace, Tim Duncan, Liu He, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett.

All-Defensive Second Team:
Bruce Bowen, Larry Hughes, Marcus Camby, Jason Kidd, Andrei Kirilenko.

Liu He, Duncan, and Kobe were selected to the double first team at the same time. This is also the first time Liu He has been selected to the double first team.

At this point, the only prizes left in this season's regular season are the most important MVP and DPOY.

Soon, Liu He's system responded.

2005 5 Month 9 Day.

new York.

Madison Square Garden, the Eastern Conference semifinals begin.

The Bulls starting lineup tonight is:
Position [-]: Antonio Davis.

No. [-]: Osella Harrington.

Number three: Devin George.

No. [-]: Ben Gordon.

Position [-]: Kirk Hinrich.

In the first round of the playoffs, although the Bulls defeated the Celtics, it was a miserable defeat.

Two generals, Eddie Curry and Luol Deng, were injured and unable to participate in the second round. At the moment, they are wearing suits and sitting on the sidelines watching the game.

Therefore, the Bulls tonight are just a remnant.

This is naturally good news for the Knicks.

Bulls, this is a thousand-mile sacrifice!

Subsequently, the Knicks' starting lineup is:
Position [-]: Tyson Chandler.

Position [-]: Kurt Thomas.

Number three: Liu He.

No. [-]: Jamal Crawford.

Position [-]: Trevor Ariza.

Seeing this lineup, the Bulls' institutional team is going to vomit.

The Knicks have five starters, two of whom were acquired from the Bulls.

Nelson, is this intentional to disgust the Bulls?
