Super Legendary Superstar

Chapter 495 Playoffs!

"I won't feel wrong. I definitely won't feel wrong. The current Cavaliers can be on the same level as the Boston Celtics, Orlando Magic, and Los Angeles Lakers! The Cavaliers with Marvin Ayton and I, The Lakers are completely superior to Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol!"

James was very excited. He didn't expect that a final game of the regular season where the outcome was not important would make him so excited. He has been in the league for almost 6 years and has played against many strong teams. He knows his team very well. What level of strength is it now? The Cavaliers without Marvin Ayton are now the top three teams in the Eastern Conference. With Marvin Ayton, the Cavaliers will be super first-class, there is no doubt about it!

"We are better than the Lakers! We are better than the Magic! We are better than the Boston Celtics!"

James is realizing this more and more deeply. If the Cavaliers can already defeat these three teams, then why should other teams be afraid?

Phil Jackson's expression today was also different from before. He sat quietly in the player's bench, neither speaking nor whistling. He did not react to any changes on the field and kept looking at the field with a serious expression. Catch every Cavaliers offense and defense.

It can be seen from his expression that the worry on his face is getting heavier and heavier, especially when Marvin Ayton scores.

"Oops, the Cavaliers might not be the strongest team in the league right now. LeBron James has always been underestimated. This is because Eric Sun of the same class is so brilliant. Sun's personal achievements are too great, causing the public to LeBron has repeatedly belittled LeBron, who has not won any personal honors. In fact, except for shooting worse than Sun, LeBron is on par with Sun in every other aspect. Especially in terms of overall situation, ball control and passing, LeBron is better than Sun. Now, the emergence of Marvin Ayton has made up for LeBron James's shooting shortcomings, and the Cavaliers have a new candidate for key goals. LeBron plus Marvin Ayton is definitely better than Sun."

"Marvin Ayton is obviously an All-Star player, but he has missed so many games and has no interest in the All-Star Game. He deliberately chose to come back at this time, maybe because he wanted to test the strength of the strongest team in the Western Conference. Only LeBron James's Cavaliers are already a strong team that can compete with the Magic for first place in the Eastern Conference. Coupled with the unfathomable Marvin Ayton... Sun's Magic team and the Big Three's Celtics will compete in this year's playoffs. I’m afraid I’ll lose miserably in the game.”

Zen Master is very familiar with the strength of these teams in the Eastern Conference. The Magic are just a team relying on Sun Zhuo. Now James and Ayton can completely offset Sun Zhuo's super strength. On the court, the two superstars The threat is definitely greater than the threat of only one superstar. From this point of view, it is difficult for the Magic to break through the Cavaliers.

Similarly, how can the Lakers, who lost to the Magic, be a match for the Cavaliers?

On the court, the Lakers had just played better and were trying to get closer to the score. Marvin Ayton suddenly asked James for the ball. He dribbled slowly across the half court and suddenly launched an attack, two meters away from the three-point line. , directly shot a three-pointer!

Uh-huh!

"Cold-blooded!" Phil Jackson stood up from his seat. The Lakers had a chance to tie the score and regain their momentum and confidence, but Marvin Ayton hit another three-pointer at such a critical time! The confidence that the Lakers had finally built up was instantly destroyed!

"This guy... this old guy is too confident and knows how to destroy opponents at certain times. The Cavaliers are dominated by LeBron most of the time. Marvin Ayton looks like an ordinary character. Like a player, he doesn't attract attention, but once the game reaches certain critical moments, this guy will step up and score, which is scary."

Just as Zen Master was thinking about it, the Lakers assistant coach suddenly stepped forward and whispered in Zen Master's ear: "Judging from Marvin Ayton's offensive efficiency, Marvin Ayton is the Cavaliers..."

"I know." The Zen master stretched out his hand and did not let the other party say it, but secretly said in his heart, "Maybe Marvin Ayton is the strongest player on the Cavaliers!"

Even if the Zen Master said this in his heart, it would stir up countless waves and make him feel extremely shocked. If he told others, no one would believe it!

What level of player is LeBron James? The only two people in the league who can compete with Sun Zhuo for the regular season MVP, he supports a team by himself! A lone hero who can fight seven games against the top Pistons and Big Three Celtics without any All-Star teammates!

Even if you compare the current Kobe and James, you may not be able to say who is better.

However, Marvin Ayton gives people the feeling that he is a better player than James!

This also means that Marvin Ayton is at least one of the top five players in the league!

When two of the top five players in the league come together, everyone knows what that means!

"I hope we guessed wrong." The Zen master returned to his position. He didn't dare to fantasize anymore. Marvin Ayton's strength was too unfathomable, and his thoughts were also unpredictable. There were even rumors from the outside world. He is Sun Zhuo's teacher.

On the court, LeBron James held the ball for too long and was double-teamed in the end. There were only the last three seconds of the attack time. He originally wanted to get ahead on his own, but suddenly he remembered what Marvin Ayton said to him at the beginning of the game.

"You can give me the ball at any time and I can help you solve everything."

"Ayton..."

James knew that there was someone guarding Ayton at this time, but he still resolutely passed the ball to him instead of others. James has always been a rational player and assigned the open space to whom. This shows how much he trusts Marvin Ayton.

The ball was passed to Marvin Ayton. Lamar Odom was standing in front of Ayton. When Jackson saw this, he thought: "The 24-second attack time is coming soon. He must be shooting. Lamar Odom has the height advantage." , Marvin Ayton can’t even think of scoring this goal again!”

However, unexpectedly, the moment Marvin Ayton got the ball, he changed direction to the left and passed Odom in an instant!

"What? How is it possible?" Phil Jackson was stunned, and Kobe was also stunned. Marvin Ayton clearly looked like an old player in his 30s, but that breakthrough just now felt as fast as lightning!

"How old is he?" Many people even suspected that Marvin Ayton had concealed his age.

After passing Odom, even with the last second left, Marvin Ayton did not directly choose to shoot. He knew that Odom would definitely jump up and block the shot. This foul would definitely be caused. So he faked a shot.

Beep!

After the referee blew the whistle, Marvin Ayton shot the ball.

Uh-huh!

2+1!

"It's so scary. This guy is so scary! He is really better and more mature than Sun Yat-sen in shooting!" Master Jackson's face was rarely sweaty. Marvin Ayton gave people the impression that he was even better than Sun Yat-sen. Zhuo is even scarier! Because Sun Zhuo has a more public personality, while Marvin Ayton is as low-key as ever, no one knows how much thoughts are hidden under that sickly face!

"Check his shooting percentage this season." Phil Jackson ordered the assistant coach.

After a while, the statistics were completed, and the assistant coach said: "Including the data so far in this game, his two-point shooting percentage is 60%, and his three-point shooting percentage is 45.4%. Among them, the shooting percentage of three-pointers from the corner is..."

"What's wrong with the three-point shooting percentage from the corner?" Seeing the assistant coach's words pause, the Zen master looked at him curiously.

"He has never missed a shot from the corner, and his shooting percentage is 100%." ​​The assistant coach said with shock.

At this moment, the Cavaliers went on a fast break, and James passed the ball to Marvin Ayton in the corner. Ayton scored another corner three-pointer!

If there are fans who have watched the Cavaliers battle in their previous lives, and see the current Cavaliers team, they will feel that James and the Splash Brothers are playing together! Curry, Thompson, Durant, give James any one, the Cavaliers will win the championship, not to mention, the current Sun Zhuo is better than those three people in their peak period.

The Lakers never expected that the Cavaliers would play such a high-level game at the end of the regular season. Jackson didn't want the Lakers players to expend too much energy and physical fitness. After all, no matter how strong the Cavaliers were, they would not be their opponents in the next month. The headaches were with the Celtics and Magic, so the Lakers were quickly defeated, ranked first in the Western Conference, and were severely beaten by the Cavaliers!

"We played so well today!" Seeing the Cavaliers finally end the game with a big score of 17 points, LeBron James was rarely excited this season.

But at this time, Phil Jackson, who had always been very impressive and never dealt with juniors like James and Mike Brown who had no honor, actually took the initiative to walk to the Cavaliers dugout. Phil Jackson was tall, and although he had an amiable smile, he was absolutely He was not someone who was easy to get close to, and with his own championship honors, they felt the air freeze before he even came near them.

"Mr. Mike Brown." Phil Jackson stretched out his hand to shake Mike Brown. The latter stretched out his hands excitedly and looked up at the Zen Master. The Zen Master said: "I'm sorry, the regular season is almost over. I can't have a good time with you. I hope I have the opportunity to play with you." Meet in the finals.”

Then, he smiled and said to James: "Congratulations, you can finally defeat Sun Yat-sen this year."

Even Sun Zhuo's mentor Phil Jackson agreed so much with the current Cavaliers. James became even more excited. He was looking forward to the arrival of the playoffs!

On April 15, 2009, the NBA regular season officially ended! The first-round matchup lists for the Eastern and Western Conference playoffs are also officially released!

West: The top-ranked Lakers play against the Jazz, the Trail Blazers play the Rockets, the Nuggets play the Hornets, and the Spurs play the Mavericks.

In the East, the No. 1 Magic faces the Detroit Pistons, the No. 2 Celtics face the Bulls, the No. 3 Cavaliers face the 76ers, and the Hawks face the Heat.

Magic and Pistons, Celtics and Bulls, Cavaliers and 76ers, these three matchups basically have no suspense. Once the Magic, Celtics, and Cavaliers advance to the next round, according to the rules, the Celtics As the winner of 2 and 7, he will meet the winner of 3 and 6, the Cavaliers, in the second round.

"If the Cavaliers beat the Celtics..." Sun Zhuo was thinking about this issue before the playoffs started.

Now, Sun Zhuo can be regarded as both a Magic player and a Cavaliers player. If the Cavaliers meet the Celtics first, Sun Zhuo will hope to join forces with James to destroy the Big Three.

The Magic's opponent in the first round was the Pistons, who barely made it to the playoffs. Kevin Durant has grown a lot this season, and Sun Zhuo also wants Westbrook and him to have more training opportunities, so the first round series, Sun Zhuo is still in no hurry to come back and is still in Cleveland.

Two days later, in the first round of the playoffs, the Magic, the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference, faced the Detroit Pistons at home, and Sun Zhuo was not on the team.

Allen Iverson, who newly joined the Pistons, said to Hamilton and others: "Although the Magic are the strongest team in the Eastern Conference, Sun has not returned yet and did not even come to the scene today. I predict that he may miss the entire series. This is a great opportunity for us!"

Rasheed Wallace also laughed and said: "Haha, we can take the opportunity to give them a black eight miracle and make them eliminated in the first round!"

As for the Magic, Durant, Westbrook and others were very nervous.

"I will be the leader in the playoffs..." Durant never expected that Sun Zhuo would miss the playoffs. He had a phone call with Sun Zhuo yesterday. Sun Zhuo said that he could return at any time. If Durant could not If you lead the team to win.

"I can't let Sun look down on me. Without Sun, our Magic team can still win!"

Durant, Westbrook, Turkoglu and others all feel the same way. Because Sun Zhuo shines so brightly, the media and fans only pay attention to Sun Zhuo and often ignore them. This is what they have proven themselves to be. Chance.

Facts have proved that today's Durant + Westbrook are already quite threatening. Even if the Pistons don't have Sun Zhuo's magic, they still have a hard time playing.

If they hadn't done better in terms of belief and defense, the Pistons might not have won this game.

On the same day, Sun Zhuo was fighting against the 76ers in the Cavaliers.

"Oh! Another dunk from LeBron!"

"Steal! Cavaliers fast break, Marvin Ayton hits another three-pointer! He has made three consecutive three-pointers!"

The combination of James + Sun Zhuo looked like an invincible existence in front of the weak 76ers. They defeated the 76ers in three quarters!

"It's terrible. Why are the Cavaliers so powerful?" Iguodala thought he could compete with the Cavaliers for a few games, but judging from his performance in the first game, there was no chance of winning!

In the first game, the Cavaliers defeated the 76ers at home by 27 points!

This game scared the three old guys in Boston. They all knew that once they advanced, they would meet the Cavaliers!

"Guys, our opponents in the next round seem to be showing off to us. It would be great if the semifinals were the Cavaliers versus the Magic." Ray Allen had a premonition that the next round of battle would be difficult.

"No matter how much you talk, it's useless. Just fight. It's not like we haven't beaten them." Paul Pierce still looked dismissive.

And Garnett was thinking in his mind: "The Cavaliers should defeat the 76ers in four games. We can't be too slow. The next round of playoffs may be the most difficult game in my career!"
