Standing pretty old

Chapter 620
To be precise, it wasn't Derrick Rose who held back James, but the Bulls held back James.

With an average contribution of 33.8+8.6+6.0 per game, KING is the well-deserved MVP in the series.

In contrast, although the Windy Rose in the rookie season showed a better competitive state in the playoffs than in the regular season, the average data per game is only 19.7+6.3+6.4, which is not enough to compare with James.

You know, Rose is not even the top scorer in the Bulls, because Ben Gordon, who can contribute 24.3+2.9+3.0 per game, is the Bulls' strongest firepower.

But it is undeniable that Gordon can only be used as an attacking arrow, and the person who really controls the situation on the court is Derek Rose.

Under the leadership of Rose, the Bulls bloomed more. Hinrich, Tyrus Thomas, Nocioni, and Joakim Noah each used their means to form a more balanced attacking firepower.

与之相对的，在常规赛作为骑士第二攻击点的莫*威廉姆斯却发挥得并不如人意，他的数据从场均17.8+4.1+3.4下滑到了季后赛的场均14.8+3.5+2.8，命中率也从46.7%下降到了44.7%。

The more it comes to winning, the more the value of a star can be reflected. Under the regular season's defensive intensity, Mo * Williams' field control and ability are obviously overestimated.

In the more intense defensive playoffs, the burden on James is even heavier, and there is only one Delonte West who can really stand up and share the responsibility for him.

His scoring has increased from 11.7 in the regular season to 15.0 in the playoffs, and his shooting percentage has also increased from 45.7% to 50%.

However, James' mother Gloria has a strange (awkward) habit of kissing KING's teammates after important games.

Apart from her son, Delonte West, who performed best in the team, naturally received the warmest welcome from the Empress Dowager.

So the question is, is Delonte* West really good at it?
Well, gossip time is over and the first round of the playoffs continues.

After one or two game days, the Eagles, who were actively resting in Atlanta, gradually got the battle reports from each district.

First of all, of course, it is the Magic VS Heat who belong to the upper half of the Eastern Conference with the Eagles.

The Orlando people had the last laugh. Howard showed sufficient dominance when facing the Heat inside, averaging 24.0+15.8 per game, and his shooting percentage reached an astonishing 68.3%.

For the Heat, D. Wade, who averaged 29.1 points per game, did his best, but the Magic team relied on Howard's awe, hurricane three-pointers, and finally successfully harvested the game.

In this way, the Hawks will compete with the Orlando Magic in the second round to qualify for the Eastern Conference Finals.

In the lower half of the Eastern Conference, the Celtics who lost Garnett were finally under the command of Rondo, eliminated the 4ers 2:76, and reached the second round.

The Celtics lost Garnett, and the 76ers also reimbursed Brand early, but in comparison with the rest of the players, the Celtics are still better.

Rajon Rondo averaged 19.4 points + 11.6 assists + 9.3 rebounds per game, almost averaging a triple-double in this series.

It was at this time that Rondo started the name of C, and transformed from the league's famous No. [-] position to the league's famous center.

What is even more surprising is that in this series, C Duo shot 45.4% from the field.

Of course, a lot of this was a layup with Pierce and Ray Allen opening the floor.

Pierce averaged 23.1 points in this round of the series, while Ray Allen scored 23.4 points.

Even if Garnett is not there, the Celtics are still a team with enough competitiveness, provided that they will not encounter the Atlanta Hawks who are incompatible with their style of play.

The Bulls and the Cavaliers have not yet decided the outcome, so let's focus on the west first:

Upper West Division:
The Lakers and Rockets eliminated their respective opponents to enter the second round of the playoffs. This is commonplace for Kobe, but for Dayao and McGrady, who was reimbursed for the season, it was the first time in his career.

T-mac was hacked again, because he was in the second round of the playoffs, and Dayao made an honorable contribution to the emoticon package at the press conference after the game, and has since become an iconic figure in the ACG world, and has been promoted to Asian emoticons Pack the Big Three.

A few years later, the combination of the smile of Director Jin and the power of Hanazawa Coriander in North Hyogo quickly dominated the world of emoticons.

Although there were occasional counterattacks by Brother Xueyou and others, Dayao was a well-deserved giant until the magical "funny" swept the world.

Western lower half:
Under the leadership of Billups and Anthony, the Nuggets successfully defeated the New Orleans Hornets led by Chris Paul 4:1.

CP3 was defeated in this round of the series, and it can even be said that FMVP Chauncey Billups is teaching him to be a man.

Do not believe?

Take a look at the average individual statistics of the two first-round series below:
Chauncey Billups: Playing time was 35.4 minutes, shooting 48.3%, scoring 22.6, assisting 7.4, rebounding 4.0.

Chris Paul: Playing time is 40 minutes, shooting 41.1%, scoring 16.6, assisting 10.4, rebounding 4.0.

The seasoned Billups restrained Paul with his better defense, allowing the regular season to contribute 22.8+11.2+5.5, and the CP50.3 data with a shooting percentage of 3% dropped sharply.

CP3 has been underestimated by Charles Barkley for a long time, and not without reason.

In the most critical games, Paul is often restrained by Deron Williams or Chauncey Billups, and Deron is called "eat, sleep, and beat Paul" by Chinese fans.

In the strong dialogue, he failed to gain an advantage. CP3 once again fell into the sand in the playoffs, and his dream of the Western Conference Finals is still far away.

On the other side, the Spurs finally fell at the feet of the Mavericks 1:4. The San Antonio people suffered a black 6 and became a small upset this season.

Parker and Duncan should not be blamed, they ranked No. [-] and No. [-] in the personal data list of the series, and they have achieved the ultimate.

But after that, the 3-10 data list is all Mavericks players, which shows how miserable the Spurs' role players have been suppressed.

It is said that Bobozhugeweiqi is very wise and close to the monster, but Rick Carlisle played a complete victory.

Regardless of the tactical arrangement or the on-the-spot formation, Carlisle completely exploded Popovich in this series.

Looking back, even if Ginobili is not injured, the Spurs' chances of winning against the Mavericks are slim.

Popovich is not a god, otherwise what he built would not be an odd-year dynasty, but a Spurs empire.

The playoffs in the second round of the Western Conference are already clear at a glance:
Upper half: Lakers VS Rockets
Bottom Half: Nuggets VS Mavericks
At the same time, various awards for the 08-09 season were also announced one by one.

率队获得东部第九的丹尼*格兰杰最终胜过杜兰特，拿到了MIP（进步最快球员），他数据由上赛季的19.6+6.1+2.1晋级到了本赛季的25.8+5.1+2.7。

SMOY (Best Sixth Man) was taken by Mavericks guard Jason Terry who just eliminated the Spurs. He averaged 19.6 points per game. Score, Terry was selected as SMOY, and he really deserved it.

There is also no suspense about the ownership of ROY. Derek Rose, who is still fighting with James, successfully won OJ* Mayo and won the best rookie.

The best rookie first team and second team were also announced immediately:

Rookie First Team: Brook Lopez, Michael Beasley, OJ Mayo, Russell Westbrook, Derrick Rose
Second Team Rookie of the Year: Marc Gasol, Kevin Love, Eric Gordon, Mario Chalmers, DJ Augustin.

However, none of the above has much to do with the Eagles until the announcement of COY (the best coach)...
