Chapter 831

However, the opponent is not optimistic.

Who?!

It is the defending champion: the Bulls.

Also... look at the seventh-place Nets in the East; this record is beyond the expectations of the fans.

It is also a record that everyone cannot accept.

Last offseason, "Half-Man, Half-God" Carter parachuted into the Nets, teaming up with Kidd to form a new Three Musketeers.

At that moment, the Nets directly rose to become a championship favorite.

Now they almost didn't make the playoffs.

Such a contrast... fans are really hard to accept, especially Nets fans are very dissatisfied with the Nets' performance this season, and even somewhat disappointed.

And as the regular-season records are released, the playoff first-round matchup list is also out.

West.

Spurs vs. Timberwolves, Suns vs. Grizzlies, Mavericks vs. Jazz, Rockets vs. Kings.

East.

Bulls vs. Cavaliers, 76ers vs. Nets, Heat vs. Pacers, Celtics vs. Wizards.

Fans also started discussions.

"Who goes first?!"

"Me!

On the West side, the Spurs winning against the Timberwolves is not a problem, and the Suns catching the Grizzlies is also not difficult.

The Mavericks crushing the Jazz, as long as they can win one game in the Jazz's devilish home arena, the Mavericks will definitely win the series.

As for the Rockets and the Kings.

Theoretically, the Kings' strength is more powerful, but I don't know why the Kings didn't have a very amazing performance throughout the season, and the record is also average.

And Francis, and the increasingly growing Eddie Curry and Crawford, the chemistry between the three is getting better and better.

Although from the current perspective, the ceiling of Francis and Da Yao will be higher.

But the current Rockets' strength is not bad.

If the Kings cannot adjust in the playoffs and cannot play at the level of last season, then the team that wins the series will be the Rockets.

Of course.

The only suspense in the West is the series between the Rockets and the Kings.

As for the East.

The Bulls, 76ers, and Heat will definitely advance, so no need to mention it.

The duel between the Celtics and the Wizards, the direction of the series depends entirely on the performance of "Truth" Pierce and "Agent Zero" Arenas.

Pierce's physical fitness is more outstanding, so I favor him more.

But the series must be a hard battle, at least fighting for more than 6 games.

I guess the Celtics will defeat the Wizards 4:2 and advance."

"That makes sense."

"What is there to talk about? The situation in the first round of the playoffs this year is too clear; you almost don't need to guess to know.

This means... this year's playoffs will only start to look good from the conference semifinals or conference finals.

At that time, every game in the series will be a battle like a preview of the finals."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"There are not many strong teams this year, but the strength of the strong teams is shockingly strong; once strong teams face off, it will be an interstellar war like Mars hitting Earth."

"woooow~ just look forward to it!"

"Since there is no need to discuss the trend of the first round of the playoffs, I think we can extend the topic to the season honors?!"

"I think that works!"

"Uh... then I'll talk about some honors that don't need much discussion!

Su Yan's regular-season average: 36.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 6.4 steals, 3.9 blocks.

He has won the scoring title, steals title, and blocks title for two consecutive years.

Not to mention two consecutive years, even winning three data titles in a single season, no one else in NBA history has done it except him.

Now he has repeated.

I just want to say, with such terrifying honors, can he surpass the 'Basketball God' Jordan the moment he wins three consecutive championships and creates a dynasty for the team?!"

"Hiss... so terrifying!"

"Hiss... too powerful!"

"Hiss... possible!"

"Su Yan's strength has always existed; he always overturns our understanding of his strength ceiling time and time again.

And on the basis of these three data titles.

This year... the regular-season MVP, All-NBA First Team, and All-Defensive First Team will all belong to Su Yan."

"Holy shit! Su Yan is still as all-encompassing as ever, an eternal harvester of records and honors.

Regular season stage.

Three-point champion, dunk champion, All-Star game MVP, and even led the team to a 35-game winning streak, created a historic best record of 73 wins, and even the season's 'first 70-point man,' etc.

He indeed creates too many incredible records every year; he is truly a crazy guy to the extreme.

Worthy of being the 'number one active player.'

Worthy of being the existence that is going to challenge Jordan's position as the 'greatest of all time'!!!"

"Weakly ask, what about DPOY, will Su Yan repeat this year?!"

"Uh... Su Yan's defense is unquestionable; as long as he defends seriously, it is definitely DPOY level, and he will definitely repeat this year.

But.

The Bulls, who transformed in the new season, show a leap in strength, and Su Yan, who developed a three-pointer, has further improved his strength.

The overall strength of the Bulls has risen greatly.

In many games, they only need to use offense to destroy their opponents, and they don't need to put much effort into defense.

Su Yan's defensive intensity has declined compared to last year.

It's not that his defensive ability has declined, but that he doesn't need to defend so hard.

But the selection criteria for DPOY is naturally based on how much you defend and how well you defend.

So Su Yan might not get it this year."

"It's just a DPOY; it's really not a great honor. As long as the team can keep winning and finally lift the O'Brien Trophy.

That is the most important thing!"

"Exactly!"

"The Bulls stood out in the regular season this year and became a uniquely powerful existence, and the playoffs will definitely be the same.

I have already imagined the Bulls lifting the championship trophy again!"

"Brothers, let's shout those 5 words to the sky!"

"Bulls are the champions!!! (Voice cracking~~~)" ===== CHAPTER 833 =====
