Chapter 146 Eight people selected for the rookie lineup

The shrinking season passed quickly, and the game started on January 20. By May 4, less than four months later, the Raptors finished all their regular season schedules.

In 50 games, the Raptors won 47 of them, and the three games they lost were against the Bucks, Nuggets and Bucks.

That's right, the Raptors encountered the Bucks twice this season, but were double-killed by the Bucks.

The Bucks trained by George Carl are quite a bit like a powerful nemesis. They not only killed the Raptors, but also the top tycoons like the Bulls and the Knicks.

In the game that lost to the Nuggets, Conbu was a little relieved and rested Big Ben, Bus and Payton. In the end, the Nuggets used their strong lineup advantage to win the Raptors.

Fitch, the old man led the Nuggets this season, with an impressive record of 36 wins.

Although his record is far inferior to the Raptors, his record ranks second in the Western Conference, second only to the 37-win Spurs.

The Raptors are invincible in the Eastern Conference, with no record. The Bulls ranked second only have 38 wins, while the Knicks ranked third have 36 wins.

The eight teams in the Eastern Conference advanced to the playoffs are the Raptors, Bulls, Knicks, Pacers, Pistons, Heat, Bucks and Hawks.

After the Pistons won Harrington this season, their combat power has improved significantly. If there weren't too many powerful Eastern Conference players, their playoff ranking would be higher.

At the end of the season, Dumas got his wish and took the position of general manager.

As Combe promised, Harrington currently averages 19 points and 8 rebounds per game with the Pistons. His style of play is extremely consistent with Hill. This pair of forwards has become the top presence in the league.

Conbu chose eight new players this year, and so far he has five buses, Miller, Lewis, Carter and Pierce, and sent them out to Harrington, Mobley and the Dragon Davis.

Needless to say, Harrington has become the second leader of the Pistons.

Mobley currently averages 18.5 points per game at the Supersonics. He and Billups actually brought the Supersonics into the playoffs, and he is quite popular in Seattle.

The data of the Poison Dragon Davis is not that gorgeous. After all, the Nuggets have many strengths. There is also a Martial Saint in the No. 3 position, so it is impossible for the Poison Dragon to take the main attack.

However, the Poison Dragon currently averages 13 points per game, and the Nuggets rank second in the West, so the Poison Dragon is also quite popular.

Think about the three newcomers that Kong Bu gave out, they can all perform like this. How can the five left in his hands be worse?

Many team management teams are racking their brains, thinking about how to poach a newcomer from Kong Bu. Even if they can't become the team's core team building, at least they will be fine to become the second leader.

The Raptors' opponent in the first round of the playoffs is the most active team.

Wilkens calls Combu almost every week this season. The name of the American saying is to exchange coaching experience, but in fact it is to be aimed at the Raptors newcomer.

On May 8, the Raptors played at home and played against the Hawks in the first round of the playoffs.

"Those guys of the 76ers are really cunning than the Foxes. They definitely lost on purpose in the last two games of the season."

Old Wilkens was very unhappy. Their chances of entering the playoffs were slim.

He doesn't think this is a bad thing. He entered the playoffs with the eighth record in the Eastern Conference, and his ending will be quite miserable. It would be strange if he didn't get beaten up in the first round against the Raptors.

Instead of being beaten, it is better to have a holiday in advance and plan for next season.

But the original 8th 76er in the Eastern Conference lost inexplicably in the last two games, allowing the ninth-ranked Hawks to reach the eighth position.

"Kon, Payton is so powerful. This kind of player with rich experience is definitely a treasure."

"It's very suitable for teams like you guys."

Wilkens inexplicably began to praise Payton.

Kong Bu looked at him with a cautious look. If something goes wrong, there will be a demon. This old man must have something bad.

"What do you think of Steve? He is one year younger than Payton."

"Why don't we make a deal and exchange Steve for two newcomers from you, just like a deal with Supersonics."

Sure enough, Wilkens was really thinking about the newcomer of the Raptors.

Steve Smith, the Hawks' outside core, has maintained a top-notch point guard who averages 20 points per game for many years.

He entered the league in 1991 and is indeed younger than Payton.

However, despite his youth, Smith's value in Conbu's mind was almost zero.

Not to mention the Raptors, there is no shortage of point guards at all. Conbu has not yet begun to give Carter a stable playing time. With the support of the training field, Carter has actually entered its peak period.

His combat power is not even a little stronger than Smith at his peak.

In addition, Smith's combat power will be greatly reduced from next season, and Kong Bu is even more unreasonable to bring him into the team.

"Lanny, don't worry about our newcomers."

"We are old friends. When the right time is right, I will make a deal with you, and this deal will definitely make a big profit for you."

Wilkens quickly asked Conbu what the timing was, but unfortunately Conbu kept silent.

After a moment, the game started.

The African mountain Mutombo is still strong. He has no disadvantage in the confrontation with Da Ben at the basket and even has some advantages.

Even though Daben is Conbu's favorite player, he has to admit that in terms of combat power, Mutombo may be slightly stronger.

Uncle Mu is 218 cm tall and has an amazing defense coverage. He can defend any type of inside line.

Big Ben is almost meaningful in this regard.

However, Uncle Mu on the field was hard to beat four hands with two fists. What he had to face was not just the big book, but also the bus and Xiao Ao's successive bombings.

On the outside, Steve Smith was not very good at defense and faced a top offensive player like McGrady.

Unable to defend McGrady, his offense was blocked again under McGrady's defense.

All the inner and outer rays are suppressed, and it would be strange if the eagle is not beaten.

In the five-game three-win series, the Raptors averaged 17.3 points per game, swept the Hawks three games, and won tickets to the Eastern Conference semi-finals.

After being eliminated, Wilkens had no disappointment on his face.

This was originally the expected situation.

With the Hawks' lineup configuration, let alone killing the Raptors and advancing, even if they can win a game in the hands of the Raptors, it must be God himself to come.

Their lineup has too many flaws and the fourth position is too weak. If they can have a fourth position like Xiao Ao, their inside combination strength will be increased by several levels.

The third position is not good at offense and defense. If you can have a third position like Mashburn or Martial Saint, it can also greatly increase the strength of the outside line.

Unfortunately for the eagle, this is a scene that will only be realized in dreams.

The Bulls and Bucks played back and forth in the Eastern Conference, and the Bulls temporarily led by a 2:1 score.

The Knicks and the Heat's duel was beyond the expectations of many people. Originally, fans thought the Heat could at least resist it, but they were swept away like the Hawks.

In the third game, there was even a fight between the two sides.

Aunt Johnson, as the team was about to sweep away the old enemy Heat, spoke up to mock Mooning.

How could Mo Ning's violent temper be tolerated? He rushed up to fight with the aunt.

Now that the Old Oakley is no longer in the Knicks, the Heat may not suffer any losses if they fight.

With the new and old hatreds together, Mo Ning is ready to fight, and they can no longer advance anyway.

At this moment, Dazhi stood up and grabbed the aunt and Ewing who were eager to try. These two old ghosts really gave Dazhi face and immediately calmed down.

Dazhi walked towards Mo Ning again, patted Mo Ning on the shoulder, and said a few words softly, but Mo Ning calmed down.

A fight was easily settled by Dazhi.

Experts from all walks of life exclaimed that Dazhi had successfully ascended the throne and became the new king of New York.

It’s hard to say whether it’s the new king, but Dazhi’s status at the Knicks is indeed the only one.

Personal data is extremely prominent, even better than Duncan's data.

In addition, all the team's top leaders regard Dazhi as the future of the team. In order to clarify Dazhi's position as the boss of the team, they even made a fuss to warn the monkey this season, Chris Dudley, who had an argument with Dazhi in the training game, banned the team of Chris Dudley, who had a quarrel with Dazhi in the training game for ten games, and then directly transferred it.

Note that it is decentralization, not transactions.

Dudley is not an unknown person. He is a veteran who entered the league in 1987. He is a very well-known blue-collar insider and earns an annual salary of more than 5 million yuan in the Knicks.

But because he scolded Dazhi a few times, he was immediately severely punished by the Knicks.

Decentralization means that Dudley will not be able to return to the NBA before the Knicks contract is over. The Knicks are losing millions of dollars in order to enhance Dazhi's sense of belonging to the Knicks.

With a sense of belonging, you can stay with the Knicks forever.

As long as the Knicks have Dazhi, they will always be a powerful team with the chance to compete for the championship.

So no matter what veteran you are, let alone Dudley, even if it is an aunt or Ewing, the Knicks management will definitely be punished.

The key is that the Knicks fans will not have any objection. Even fools know the meaning of keeping Dazhi to the Knicks.

...

The Pacers and the Pistons also fought back and forth, and Kong Bu was waiting for this group to decide the outcome.

The winner will be their Raptors' Eastern Conference semifinals opponent.

Harrington performed perfectly in this round of the series, because the Pacers' rebounding level was a bit bad, which led to Harrington's not very strong rebounding ability being the same as a God of War.
