This Forward is Not Serious

Manhattan, New York.

The night of 85 points has ended, but the discussion about Lin Ying's 85 points and the scoring champion has been noisy.

A lot of celebrities and stars have expressed their opinions on social media.

Even Swift tweeted a "my warrior, so brave tonight" status later.

But not everyone, such as James and Anthony, didn't make a sound that night.

It's actually nothing, no one dictates who has to speak up.

But journalists don't feel that way, they'll follow those people and go find them the next day.

You can understand this as complementary information, and of course it can also be understood as...moral kidnapping.

But either way, journalists will do it.

For example, after the daily training of the Knicks, James was caught by reporters for an interview, and then asked about topics related to 85 points.

James didn't want to answer very much, just answered the reporter's question more politely.

But the reporter didn't want to stop there, so he was finally annoyed by the question, and James finally replied:

"I'm more focused on team wins, and if it weren't for that, I could be the scoring champion every season if I wanted to."

Then on the same day, the report of "James: As long as I want, I can be the scoring champion every season" quickly caused a heated discussion.

What reporters love to do is to take things out of context, but James did say something like that, and the enthusiasm of the fans last night is proud to continue today.

And this time it wasn't a one-sided voice, it was an argument.

"I can get 85 points every night if I want to."

"I can win a championship every season if I want to."

"As long as I want, I can sleep with Liu Yifei in my arms every night."

Fans' brains are always beyond your imagination, and a stalk called "As long as I think" quickly became popular.

Of course, there are a lot of rants about this.

"Lin, Durant, Melo, Kobe, T-Mac, AI, and even Wade should thank LeBron, because LeBron just wants to not do it, or these guys won't get the scoring title."

"Kobe: Did I average 35.4 points per game not enough?"

"LeBron: If the time is right I'll be in the slam dunk contest."

"LeBron: I'll bring seven championships to New York."

"LeBron: I'm going to surpass Michael to be the new GOAT."

"Anyway, I've already vomited, so can't we be more pragmatic and stop talking about these outrageous big words every day?!"

...

Of course, there are also many fans who support James' point of view.

"LeBron's score is not much worse than the scoring champion every season. In the season when Kobe Bryant's 35 points, he also scored 31.4 points. As long as he passes 2 fewer **** per night and scores 2 more goals, he can catch up. Other seasons Not to mention."

"LeBron is a team player, he's more focused on winning, he's not chasing the scoring title like Anthony, he can do it."

"You have no idea how much LeBron has sacrificed in New York over the past few years. He doesn't need to prove anything with a scoring title, even if he can do it easily."

...

Miami.

Team general manager Andy Ellisberg is reporting an important job to team owner Mickey Arison.

"It's time to make some changes."

The assistant, who had worked with Riley for 20 years before, actually did not approve of the original trade for Anthony.

But the boss's wishes cannot be violated by employees.

But this time is not the other, what Anthony has done in the Heat over the years:

1. Force Howard away, just as he forced Lin Ying away in Denver;

2. With a poor leading record, the Heat, like the Nuggets back then, became the first-round team in the Wannian Tour;

3. Deliberately scoring points, especially this year, in the last game, in order to win the scoring championship, the team personally sent the team to the playoffs, which has touched the bottom line of the management.

These are all against the Heat culture, so like he said, it's time for a change.

"We can try to bring Wade back to Miami and rely on him to get through this time."

Ellisberg went on to talk about his plans.

Next season is the contract option year for the Knicks Big Three.

Regardless of whether the Knicks can win the championship this year, Riley should not reject Anthony's proposal for Wade.

Because Wade has been suffering from a knee injury in the past two years, a maximum contract extension would be disastrous for the Knicks.

And it’s not so easy to get Wade to take a pay cut. In order to play in New York, Wade has already taken a pay cut and even sacrificed his team status.

Even if it is for the championship to come again, the one who sacrificed should not be him.

Riley should have a lot of headaches for the coming summer.

So if the Heat give the past a proposal at this time, Riley is likely to nod without hesitation.

As for the Heat, Anthony is indeed stronger than Wade and younger than Wade, but his problems have been listed before.

On the contrary, if you trade for Wade, you can do a "Wade home" theme, which can maintain or even increase the team's attendance rate and get the guaranteed income.

As for the playoffs, Wade is a team player. Even if his strength has declined a bit due to injuries, his ability to lead the team is no worse than that of Anthony, who scored points.

And there is a very critical time node here in 2016, they can convince Wade to sign only 2 years, or a 2+1 contract.

For Wade, the salary cap will skyrocket in 2016 because of the new broadcast contract, and he can consider jumping out of the contract to get a bigger contract.

For the Heat, they shortened the risk of signing Wade.

Then, as Ellisberg said, the time passed.

Why have to get through this time?

Because the Heat overdrawn too many draft picks in the previous trade with Howard, their most recent first round was in 2017.

Even because it is a sign-and-trade, they can ask the Knicks for some draft picks in the trade.

So this wave of his operations can be said to be a success in one fell swoop, taking care of all aspects.

As for whether Anthony will play well with the Knicks, that's not something they consider.

Because they have tried many ways, but Anthony is the Anthony now.

...

The remarks about 85 points and the James scoring title are not over yet, but the curtain of the regular season has come to an end, and the rankings of the East and West have also been determined.

Let's look at the west side first.

The Spurs finished first with a 62-20 record.

This result can be said to be unexpected.

"Undead" seems to be sweeping the entire alliance.

And what's even more amazing is that none of the Spurs scored 17 points, which perfectly explains what team basketball is in winning mode.

The Thunder are second with a 61-21 record.

The Thunder can be said to be the team with the biggest butterfly effect because of Lin Ying's appearance.

Ibaka did not play closed, Westbrook also suffered a knee injury because he did not encounter Beverley, and Durant was stronger than the same period in history.

Therefore, the immediate combat power of the entire Thunder team is much stronger than in history.

In Stern's retirement season, Texas twins meet for Finals?

This possibility is not small at all.

Durant averaged 30.46 points, 7.4 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game, and is also a strong contender for this year's MVP.

The Lakers are third with a 60-22 record.

Although Kobe Bryant's performance has declined, the Lakers' season has not been bad. The only fly in the ointment is losing to the Thunder in the final stage, which puts them at a disadvantage in the rankings.

The Mavericks are fourth with 58 wins and 24 losses.

Holiday's trade proved to be a pretty successful one, giving the Mavericks a perfect boost to their otherwise weak perimeter defense.

Nelson Jr. has also become a strong contender for the best general manager of the year with this deal.

The Blazers are fifth with a 54-28 record.

The Warriors are sixth with a 51-31 record.

Although the Warriors are better than last season in terms of record, Bay Area fans clearly feel that this is not what they should have achieved.

According to the Bay Area media, they have disliked the Warriors' constipation-like offense.

This is likely to be a challenging season for Mark Jackson, and if he still can't lead the Warriors further, it may well be the swan song of his Warriors coaching career.

The Clippers are seventh at 50-32.

The addition of Gay did not bring much improvement to the Clippers' strength.

Facts once again prove that compared to the salary of 18 million +, Gay's contract is not much more cost-effective than Joe Johnson.

The Grizzlies are eighth with a 49-33 record.

First-round matchup on the West side:

Spurs vs Grizzlies

Since the black eight that year, the two teams have been on the bar;

Thunder VS Clippers

The most ornamental first round in the West;

Lakers vs Warriors

Kobe Bryant is said to be a Curry fan;

Mavericks VS Blazers

Lillard needs to be tested by Holiday, and so will the Blazers' interior.

Look east.

The Knicks ended the season with a league-leading 66-16 record.

James averaged 26.2 points, 6.9 rebounds and 9.7 assists per game.

Wade has recovered under Riley's coaching this season, which has also caused James' numbers to decline.

But this also seems to correspond to James' remarks. He gave up the scoring title for the team, and the Knicks are stronger.

This is also after the 2010 ~ 2011 season, the Knicks have the greatest hope of winning a season.

The Nets are second with a 62-20 record.

Lin Ying had the most beautiful season in terms of personal data.

He averaged 30.7 points, 7.6 rebounds and 7.1 assists while shooting 50.8 percent from the field and 39.8 percent from three-point range.

He won the scoring title of the season and is also very hopeful to complete the MVP re-election.

The 85 points in the final game of the regular season became another representative game after the 58 points in the finals.

And a win in the final game was equally crucial for the Nets.

Because of the double play against the Spurs in the regular season, they still have home field advantage with the same record.

This also means that as long as they reach the finals, no matter who the opponent is, they will have home-court advantage.

Under the new Finals format, this is important.

The Cavaliers are third with a 57-25 record.

The Cavaliers and Pacers battled for a top-half ranking all season, and the Cavaliers narrowly won.

And after two consecutive seasons, fans have also discovered that the compatibility of Harden and Irving's double guns in the backcourt is much greater than expected.

This ranking also allowed them to avoid a first-round encounter with the Celtics, a very good result for Cleveland fans.

The Pacers are fourth at 56-26.

Turner didn't help the Pacers as much as he thought, and a first-round match against the Celtics was by no means a good result.

Even after the Celtics will meet the Knicks in the second round.

Maybe that's a little bit of "retribution" for them to give up Granger.

But who can say for sure, as Rick Barnes said, difficulties and opportunities have always coexisted.

The Celtics are fifth with a 52-30 record.

For Boston fans, the only good news this season is that Howard is having a good time.

The Bulls are sixth with a 50-32 record.

Ross decided to be reimbursed for the season early. Compared with Howard, Chicago fans should not be happy.

The Raptors are seventh at 48-34.

Luckily the Raptors ended up having the best record of the three, unfortunately they will face the defending champion Nets in the first round.

DeRozan's first playoff journey hasn't been easy.

The Bobcats are eighth with a 47-35 record.

This is since the 2009 ~ 2010 season after the Bobcats once again reached the playoffs.

The combination of Walker and Jefferson looks good, but neither of them are cornerstone players who need better talent to raise the ceiling.

Perhaps, Michael Jordan thought so too.

Eastern Conference playoffs.

Knicks vs Bobcats

This should be the least suspenseful matchup this year, and the Bobcats win one game;

Nets vs. Raptors

Lin Ying's 85-point night has attracted much attention, and the performance of the Raptors is also eye-catching. They are not without a chance of winning;

Cavaliers vs Bulls

Although Rose is missing, the Bulls' strength team is still there, and it is not so easy for the Cavaliers to pass the test;

Pacers vs Celtics

"Marshal" Stevens' first regular season coaching performance was good, but the real test came from the playoffs, and the Pacers are definitely a powerhouse;

...

For the Nets, they should be the most relaxed team before the playoffs right now.

Because it was already determined that the opponent was the Raptors, they started targeted training before the end of the regular season.

So now you go back and watch the last game of the regular season, the Nets seem to be releasing water, but they are actually testing.

The test of the Raptors double star is also an assessment of the strength of both sides.

It can be said that the Nets' self-confidence is very strong now. After all, they can beat you with water and data, and they have a huge psychological advantage.

Of course, relaxation does not mean slack. Karl, like Lin Ying, knows that despising his opponent is not far from failure.

After the day's training, Lin Ying and Deron talked about how to defend against Lowry~www.readwn.com~ DeRozan had Butler to deal with, but Lowry's speed was fast, his passing awareness was good, and the timing of flanking Need to be nudged.

While we were chatting, Lin Ying's cell phone rang.

The ringtone is "Canon".

Canon is a polyphonic song, repeating the melody but entering different parts, giving people a sense of continuity and a sacred artistic conception.

And the ending melody and the beginning melody of this song are connected. If you are looping a single, it is easy to find the beginning and end, which is very interesting.

Like, a loop.

The call was from Jordan:

"Do you have time in summer? I suddenly remembered that there is a signature move that I didn't teach you."

Jordan's voice sounded happy.

Yeah, "Michael is forever GOAT", listen, can't that make people happy!
