Chapter 36 Second round!
There is no need to doubt Paul George can prove himself. He is indeed a talented guy, but it is not very helpful to the current situation. The Pacers are not weak, but for the Knicks, it is indeed not up to the table.
In the second game, the Pacers lost 21 points;
In the third game, the Pacers lost 28 points;
In the fourth game, the Pacers lost 34 points;
Game 5, oh, there is no Game 5.
The Knicks easily swept the Pacers and averaged 20 net points per game!
This is a one-sided situation.
As for the provocation of young man Paul George at the beginning, it is considered the biggest joke in the second decade of the 21st century.
However, Zhou Mubai told reporters at the end of the series: "Paul George is a very talented boy, and his future is limitless. If the Pacers are willing, they can trade him for the Knicks' draft pick. I think Donnie will be very happy."
Zhou Mubai's evaluation of Paul George is very high, which is to redeem some impressions for Paul George, and Paul George is also grateful.
The Knicks are the first to enter the second round, waiting for their opponents in the second round.
The Miami Heat ranked second in the East, the Bulls third in the East, the Celtics fourth in the East, the Magic fifth in the East, the Hawks sixth, the 76ers seventh, and the Pacers eighth.
Miami and the 76ers' series are similar to the Knicks. The 76ers left Iguodala. Although there were additions, their strength did not change much. When they met a super team like Miami, they were actually fish on the chopping board and were swept four games;
The Celtics and the Magic are ranked closest, but the Magic are no longer Howard's Magic. Bynum can't stand the semicircular tactics at all. Thibodeau can only find another way, and the effect is OK, but the problem of weak offense in the playoffs is highlighted. The Celtics solved the game in five games;
The most intense players in the East were the Bulls and Hawks. The Bulls were the Youth Storm. The Hawks were the Eastern Conference powerhouses, including Horford, Joe Johnson, Jeff Teague, Joe Smith and other good players. After four games, the two sides tied and played very fiercely.
This series shows Ross' excellence. In four games, Ross Ross averaged 26.8 points and 7.2 assists per game. This is a very excellent data. Although it is not as good as Zhou Mubai's crazy data, it is extremely excellent in the entire league.
According to the original historical trajectory, this was originally Rose's regular season MVP season, but with Zhou Mubai's arrival, Rose may not have this opportunity.
The Knicks' second round opponent was formed between the Celtics and the Magic. The Celtics solved the Magic in five games and stood in front of the Knicks.
Dougreaves is actually quite contradictory. Their current ranking has actually been carefully calculated. If the Celtics want to enter the playoffs, then in the second round, the Heat and the Knicks have to face one.
After careful consideration, Rivers decided to choose the Knicks. Although the Knicks are the so-called best record in history, they are very strong, but the playoffs are different from the regular season. Compared to the Heat, Rivers feels that the chances of facing the Knicks may be greater.
But these are actually just some tricks. If they want to compete for the championship, no matter who is ahead, they have to rush over. He just chose a team that he thought was more confident.
But he finally forgot the fear of being dominated by Zhou Mubai.
The second round between the Knicks and the Celtics started first.
The advantage of being the first record is that no matter who they face, they have a home advantage.
The first game was held at Madison Garden Plaza.
The showdown between these two teams is perhaps the most popular pair at present.
Whether it is the Celtics or the Knicks, they are teams with high traffic.
The Celtics include Rondo, Pierce, Ray Allen, Garnett, Stadameer, and other stars who are either stars or former superstars, perhaps they are today's superstars.
The Knicks are the most eye-catching team this season. None of them. Even though they have been questioned by countless people, he is like the elephant in the room. Although he doesn't know their actual combat power, such a giant is there and no one can ignore it.
Whether out of public or selfishness, critics' predictions about the outcome of this showdown are quite surprising - most people think that the Celtics will beat the Knicks within six games.
This is a very surprising statement.
Yes, the Celtics have a terrifying lineup of five stars, but the Knicks are 74-win teams after all, and that is a team that wins two more games than the 72-win Bulls. Oh, right, there is also a record of 34 consecutive wins!
In this way, they still think the Celtics will defeat the Knicks in six games?
Faced with this situation, Cole could only smile and shake his head.
Prejudice and pride are everywhere.
However, the Knicks team was calm and no one felt the atmosphere or the injustice.
Cole often observes the absolute leader who doesn't seem to speak much.
Young people often laugh before speaking. Although they smile quite reservedly, they always make people feel as if they are bathed in spring breeze and do not talk much, but every word is meaningful and convincing.
Faced with the slander of the outside public opinion, this young man didn't care. He just silently led the team to train. When someone talked about the outside public opinion, he always laughed it off, at most he just said one thing - those who said this before were defeated by us.
yes.
Zhou Mubai is always questioned along the way, and there are always people who will jump out to question his abilities and even question his character. However, Zhou Mubai is not willing to pay attention to it, but his performance on the court conquered everyone. Once he fights back, it will be a thunderous attack.
There is something he said very well.
[When I win a championship, they will question me;
When I win two championships, they will doubt me;
When I established a dynasty, they would be silent;
When I get my fourth championship, they will start to praise me;
When I won the fifth championship, I could no longer hear criticism;
Once I win the sixth championship, they will regard me as a god.
Cole still remembers the calm expression on Zhou Mubai's face when he said these words. The expression probably means, Oh, I ordered a hind leg last night and I rode a bicycle to get it back tomorrow, but the confidence inside infected everyone.
If someone else said such words, they would be scolded to death, but when Zhou Mubai said such words, Cole, Iguodala, Kevin Martin and others couldn't help but nodded in agreement. I don't know if they agreed with this idea, or if they thought Zhou Mubai could do such a thing.
But it doesn't matter. What's important is that Zhou Mubai is very calm, and the others are not impetuous at all.
