Chapter 241 The playoffs are coming, the final battle!
20 three-pointers, 12 games away from the 2003-2004 playoffs!
"There is pressure, but this is not an impossible goal!"
Han Mo thought to himself.
For those fringe teams in the NBA playoffs, the last 12 games are the last chance to give it a go!
In the east:
Boston Celtics 31 wins, 39 losses temporarily ranked tenth!
Cleveland Cavaliers 31 wins, 37 losses temporarily ranked ninth!
New York Knicks 32 wins, 37 losses temporarily ranked eighth!
Milwaukee Bucks 34 wins, 34 losses temporarily ranked seventh!
The last time the New Orleans Hornets appeared in the playoffs as an Eastern Conference team ranked sixth with 36 wins and 34 losses!
In the west:
Portland Trail Blazers 35 wins, 34 losses temporarily ranked tenth!
Utah Jazz 36 wins, 34 losses temporarily ranked ninth!
Houston Rockets 36 wins, 33 losses temporarily ranked eighth!
Denver Nuggets 39 wins, 28 losses temporarily ranked seventh!
Memphis Grizzlies 43 wins, 26 losses temporarily ranked sixth!
The fierce competition for the final spot in the playoffs can be seen!
Especially in the East, from the No.10 Celtics to the No.6 New Orleans Hornets, no team dares to say that they are absolutely safe!
For a top team like the 76ers, the record of 53 wins and 17 losses is outstanding, ahead of the league's No. [-] Western Conference team and the Minnesota Timberwolves with five wins!
Eight wins ahead of the Indiana Pacers, second in the Eastern Conference!
With only 12 games left in the regular season, although the Pacers still have the possibility of catching up in theory, in terms of the actual state of the two teams, this is already impossible!
The Minnesota Timberwolves do have the possibility of catching up, but are they really capable of entering the Finals?
According to Han Mo's words: "Before November this year, the probability of us encountering Garnett again is 11!"
Larry Brown planned to rest the main lineup in a planned way, but Han Mo and Iverson resolutely refused!
Vow to fight till the end!
Allen Iverson said: "I have rested long enough this season, and I still need to use the last few games to find my status!"
Han Mo: "I'm so young, coach, I don't need to rest at all!" (Psychological thinking: I'm resting now, so my last 20 three-pointers will have to wait until the year of the monkey!)
Iverson, Larry Brown can't control it!
Hammer, Larry Brown can't be bothered!
Except for Iverson and Han Mo, all other starters will be rested in turn!
Although Yao Ming has repeatedly challenged him, Yao Ming has played long enough this season!
In view of the serious injury of Yao Ming's left ankle last season, Larry Brown directly ordered Yao Ming to take a sore left knee as an excuse to take a break until the playoffs before returning!
As for the others, veterans over the age of 35 also went straight to the playoffs!
Give the last 76 games of the 12ers to the young people of this team completely!
Host the Toronto Raptors!
Toronto Raptors: PG: Jalen Rose SG: Vince Carter SF: Maurice Peterson PF: Chris Bosh C: Donyell Marshall
Philadelphia 76ers: PG: Jamal Crawford, SG: Allen Iverson, SF: Kyle Korver, PF: Han Mo, C: Wang Zhizhi
Crawford debuted as a point guard for the first time!
This makes Crawford especially excited!
He has always focused on his own offense, and he has connected the audience time and time again from the very beginning.
The embarrassing thing is that although Crawford's offensive ability is top-notch, he is really too good at passing the ball!
Not only did it not have the effect of organizing the whole team, continuous unforced errors occurred, but the opening 76ers team fell into a stalemate!
Little Bosh stretched his neck and succeeded in consecutive dunks under the basket!
For the Raptors, with 29 wins and 42 losses, they are ranked 11th in the Eastern Conference. Although there is a big gap between them and the top eight, there is still the possibility of theoretically entering the playoffs!
It is naturally a good opportunity for the 76ers to fight with this kind of starting lineup that has never been used before and is not yet familiar with each other!
Especially for Vince Carter!
As a top ten player in the league, he couldn't even make it to the playoffs. This is a real stain on his life!
Opinions within the Raptors management have already had major differences!
Whether to continue to use the injured Vince Carter as the core to rush for the championship, or to rebuild with Chris Bosh!
It depends on whether the Raptors can make the playoffs this year!
Vince Carter was also very active in the opening game, as if the trapeze who had been flying in the sky and fought against Iverson in the Eastern Conference Finals for seven games and scored 50 points was back!
At the beginning, Han Mo, who was originally on the defensive side, quickly discovered that it was impossible to limit Carter like this without fully concentrating!
When Carter made another three-pointer at the top of the arc, Han Mo came over in the next round!
Vince Carter naturally knew how powerful Han Mo was, but superstars naturally have their pride!
Carter called Chris Bosh's pick-and-roll, and went in hard!
The muscles of the legs are fully developed!
"Teng!"
The explosive power of the first step should not be underestimated!
But who is Han Mo?The man who can stop Tracy McGrady, who is known as the best first step in the league, in the first game of his rookie season!
Now Han Mo can handle it with ease!
When Carter flew into the air, trying to knock Han Mo away!
"Oh!"
Instead, his own people fell out!He knocked over the billboard on the sidelines and crashed into a white aunt!
Immediately, pop up!
Lying on the ground for a long time can not get up!
The referee whistles!
Defensive foul!
Han Mo asked: "Are you playing Pingci?"
This physical confrontation is too clean, okay?
Carter to the free throw line!
Made two free throws!
Carter squinted at Han Mo, chewing on his braces: "What did this kid eat to grow up? This power is a bit abnormal!"
Although this fall did not affect Carter's free throw, it may have affected the feeling of the next attack!
With his terrifying jumping height and wingspan, Carter can always avoid Han Mo's block!
But after escaping the block, the ball was really a bit outrageous.
"The coach is right!" Han Mo said to himself, "The best defense does not necessarily have to be implemented in statistics, and good defense does not necessarily translate into good blocks!"
"What are you mumbling about?"
Han Mo: "I said, I want to blast you!"
"Explosion-proof? What the hell?" Carter was puzzled!
But it will be clear soon!
