With the end of the regular season of the 2009-2010 season, the rankings of each team have been determined, and the playoff table will also be released.
Except for the final finals, the playoffs still adopt the 2-2-1-1-1 competition system as before, and the finals still use the previous 2-3-2 competition system.
The top-ranked teams in the regular season automatically get two home courts first. Home court advantage is still very important in the playoffs, because in the history of the nba playoffs, many teams were not in the right state because they could not adapt to the atmosphere of the away game. , lose the game.
The official start time of the 2010 playoffs is April 17, so each team will have 3 days to rest and refresh at the end of the regular season.
As for the teams that did not enter the playoffs, they can buy a fishing rod now and go fishing.
Among the superstars in 2009, some people have already issued their own travel plans, such as: Golden State elementary school student Curry, and DeMar DeRozan.
Lian Dao is the most envied among the superstars in 2009, and also the most admired by them. The envy is because Lian Dao entered the league with the No. The player who signed the sneakers, was selected as the All-Star starter in the first rookie game...
Admiration is because Lian Dao led the Knicks to the playoffs in his rookie season, and he was the third in the Eastern Conference. At the same time, he helped the Knicks win 36 more games than last season. In this regard, 09 The other members of the superstar group knew that they would never be able to do it themselves.
Especially leading the Knicks, which is not favored by most teams and fans in the league. Especially before Lian Dao came, the Knicks had a chaotic management and a boss with stupid money as a model for the league.
It even once made Stern feel that the Knicks management was hopeless.
In fact, in 2008, the Knicks had already started to have rumors of "star graves", because after many stars came to the Knicks, some became brushes, some data declined, and they completely sank in the Big Apple.
However, after some stars left the Knicks, they chose to change their past, and even became the main force of the team, such as Zach Randolph. After leaving the Knicks, Zach Randolph was also selected into the All-Star team .
Of course, although some people say that the Knicks are the "graveyard of a star", they are not directly upgraded to the "graveyard of a superstar" like later generations.
And this season, Lian Dao led the Knicks to the third place in the Eastern Conference, which gradually dissipated this voice a lot.
At the end of the regular season this season, James Dolan also held a grand party for all players.
During the party, James Dolan, who is rich and powerful, gave out a lot of bonuses to each player. Of course, the cheapest ones are the most. At the same time, he also said that as long as the Knicks can enter the second round, there will be a bonus. The farther the reward, the greater.
As soon as the money offensive was launched, all the players were a little excited now, after all, no one would dislike American swords.
During the party, James Dolan also chatted with Lian Dao for a long time, and said that the Knicks will definitely build a team with him as the core and will never change.
The first-round matchup table for the East and West is also released.
Eastern Conference: Cavaliers vs Bobcats, Magic vs Heat, Knicks vs Bucks, Eagles vs Celtics.
Western Conference: Lakers vs Thunder, Mavericks vs Spurs, Suns vs Trail Blazers, Nuggets vs Jazz.
The New York Knicks also returned to the long-awaited playoffs stage again after six years.
The media in New York also reported on the Bucks, the Knicks' opponent in the playoffs. The regular season record of the two teams was 4:0. The game is still very optimistic. After all, many people feel that the regular season can be swept, and the odds of winning against the Bucks in the playoffs should not be feared.
ESPN analyst Zack Lowe said not to be overly optimistic about the Knicks' playoff journey. Zack Lowe believes that the Bucks' strongest point is the interior. Bogut also has an excellent passing game.
Moreover, the Bucks are also a young team. They will not be afraid of the Knicks' running and bombing. On the contrary, they also have the positional warfare ability that the Knicks do not have.
In contrast to the Knicks, they rely too much on offensive rhythm, single tactics, and over-reliance on outside touch. Such a team can still play a gorgeous offense when the defensive intensity is not particularly strong in the regular season.
But in the playoffs, Knicks players face impregnable defense, these so-called gorgeous will become a thing of the past.
Therefore, he said that the Knicks' journey to the first round of the playoffs will not be too smooth.
But obviously his remarks are not convincing, and he also selectively ignores the strength of the Knicks outside.
Although the strength of the Knicks inside is not as good as that of the Bucks, it is definitely not as powerless as Zack Lowe said, and the Knicks can't limit the Bucks if they have a little bit, that is Lian Dao, they have no Any player can limit Lian Dao.
This discussion also caused extensive discussion on the Internet, but the vast majority of fans and some columnists expressed their optimism for the Knicks.
With both playoff games against the Bucks at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks have home-court advantage for the first two games.
Before the start of the playoffs, that is, some regular season awards will be announced on the 17th. The trophies of the winning players will be sent to the home court in advance, and those winning players in away games will be awarded after returning to the home court.
Lian Dao can now guess which awards he will definitely get, as well as some awards that he may get, and those awards that he is unlikely to get this season.
The awards he will definitely get are the "Best Rookie" and "Rookie First Team". He has won all the Rookie of the Month awards in the Eastern Conference this season, the Player of the Month once, and has been shortlisted for three months. The best player selection, in addition to winning the best player of the week many times.
Therefore, the selection of the above two awards is the most suspenseful.
The awards that Lian Dao is likely to win are, the most likely of which is the "Second Team in the Regular Season". This is a team honor that Lian Dao may be selected for. Loss, brought to this season's 55 wins and 27 losses, a full 36 wins, just for this alone, Lian Dao's score will definitely not be low.
In addition, his personal data ranks first among small forwards, even James is a bit inferior.
What's more, Lian Dao's popularity is also among the best in the league, especially when he plays in New York.
He has met the above requirements of Lian Dao, so this season, he is basically not 100% selected for the "regular season second team", but it can reach 90%. The only suspense is whether he can make a breakthrough?
In fact, according to Lian Dao's current team leadership results and regular season data, there is no problem in entering the first team, but his qualifications are too shallow, and some media may trip him up. He can be selected for the first team. The probability is only about 50%.
In addition to the "Second Team of the Regular Season", there is also the "Best Defensive Team". It's easy to score under defense, that is, James and Kobe's defense against Lian Dao is a bit stretched~www.mtlnovel.com~ Whether it is a single defense or a co-defense Lian Dao is eligible to enter the "best defensive team first team".
The unlikely award is p. Although he was also nominated for p, Lian Dao felt that the chance of winning this p was too small.
No way, James in the regular season this season is in great shape, and the record of the Cavaliers this season is also a decisive factor in considering this honor. After all, James led the Cavaliers and scored the first record in the league this season.
Therefore, Lian Dao estimated that he only had a 30% chance of getting p.
There is also dpoy, this award is almost locked by Howard, Howard averaged 13.2 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game this season to lead the league.
And last season, he won the "Rebound King" and "Block King" with 13.8 rebounds and 2.9 blocks. Players who have monopolized these two data in back-to-back seasons.
So Howard's acquisition of dpoy is basically a certainty.
