Chapter 121: The regular season ends and the playoffs begin!
The night after the Lakers beat the Warriors, all regular seasons in the NBA came to an end.
The East and West record rankings have also been released smoothly.
Top eight in the East: Celtics, Pistons, Magic, Cavaliers, Wizards, Raptors, 76ers, Eagles.
Top eight in the West: Lakers, Hornets, Spurs, Jazz, Rockets, Suns, Mavericks, Nuggets.
季后赛是七战四胜淘汰制，第一轮是东西部联盟的No.1对No.8，No.2对No.7，No.3对No.6，No.4对No.5。
The knockout rounds will be held until the Eastern and Western champions are determined, and then the Eastern and Western champions will go to the finals.The team with the higher winning percentage in the regular season gets an extra home advantage.
The No. [-] Lakers in the West will face the No. [-] Denver Nuggets in the first round of the West.
The Nuggets are not the Lakers' best opponent, their lineup configuration is very strong.
Anthony, Iverson, Nene, Camby, JR.
The depth of this lineup is also very scary.
Although the Nuggets are only eighth in the Western Conference, from the perspective of the lineup, it is possible for them to black out the Lakers.
After all, last season's regular season champion was hacked by the Warriors.
The situation in the West and the East is also completely different. Those who can enter the playoffs in the West are considered top teams. These top teams have a chance to win when they meet any team in the league.
According to Zen master's vision, it is most suitable for the Lakers to play the Warriors who are not deep enough inside. The Mavericks are afraid of the Warriors, but the Lakers are not afraid. The Lakers can handle them to death.
It's just that Zhou Hang's lore made this kind of duel hopeless.
The Nuggets are very good at offensive and defensive transitions, and their talent can compete with the Lakers. If they get up, their offensive power will be terrible.
Zhou Hang remembers that the Lakers and the Nuggets had a lot of grievances in the previous life.
The clip of Anthony and Kobe's defensive matchup is very crazy, and it is also considered to be one of the shots that distinguish the confrontation between the small ball era and the traditional era.
On the night when the regular season ended, Zhou Hang also received a system task.
"Mission: Follow the Lakers to win the NBA championship, and issue corresponding rewards based on their performance."
Entering the playoffs means that the time for the Olympics is getting closer.
Zhou Hang wants to use this time to become stronger.
Winning in the playoffs will give you more winning points and richer rewards. This is Zhou Hang's long-standing experience with the system.
The G1 game between the Lakers and the Nuggets started 3 days later, and Zen Master also gave everyone a day off to let the players take a breather.
The night before the holiday, Zhou Hang took Soo Hyun to walk around the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and attended an awards ceremony that had nothing to do with him.
Zhou Hang is very good-looking and is also a well-known star in Los Angeles. Hollywood often sends him tickets to award ceremonies.
Zhou Hang will go to see it when he has nothing to do. After all, now that he has dabbled in the film and television industry and invested in his first movie, he also needs to familiarize himself with some basic things in this industry.
Of course, he didn't come to see those hot Hollywood actresses.
After spending a sweet day with Soo Hyun, Zhou Hang turned his attention back to the court.
The playoffs are the battlefield. This is the reminder from the Lakers veterans to the rookie Zhou Hang.
The Lakers have basically played in the playoffs, except for Zhou Hang.
More than one veteran reminded Zhou Hang that the playoffs cannot be played like the regular season, and the price of losing a game here is very high.
Although the Lakers are very strong, they still have to beware of capsized in the gutter.
Every opponent they encounter in the playoffs will not be polite to them. They will do their best to prevent the Lakers from winning.
After entering the training and preparations, Zhou Hang studied the video more diligently.
The most obvious advantage of playing in the Lakers is that the players here are very experienced. No matter what kind of questions Zhou Hang asks, there will be experienced players answering Zhou Hang.
Zhou Hang asked in the locker room: "Will fights in the playoffs be punished more severely?"
Fisher replied seriously: "No, the league will consider ratings and influence, of course, the most important thing is the status of the players."
Zhou Hang asked: "If Kobe and LeBron have a fight, will the league suspend them?"
Zhou Hang's question successfully raised the atmosphere in the Lakers locker room.
"Haha, I don't know about that."
"Kobe, you can try it."
"The league may charge tickets, and I will buy tickets to watch you two fight!"
"Hahaha!!"
The players in the Lakers locker room laughed, and only Zhou Hang dared to make such a brazen joke with Kobe.
Kobe's face was swarthy.
Kobe's personality can also take jokes, Zhou Hang often does this in the locker room, and Kobe doesn't mind.
The relationship between Zhou Hang and Kobe has always been good.
Kobe also secretly asked Zhou Hang if there is any traditional Chinese medicine prescription for giving birth to a son.
While the daughters are cute, Bryant also wanted a son.
Zhou Hang could only regret that he didn't know clearly, and he suggested that Kobe could do test tubes or something.
Zen master ignored the Lakers locker room, he was discussing playoff tactics with the coaching staff.
In terms of the Lakers' tactical arrangements, Zhou Hang is still on the bench.
But this substitute is not fixed, Zhou Hang may be on top of the starting lineup at any time.
Of course, even if he doesn't start, Zhou Hang's tactical status is similar to that of the regular season, and there will be no decline in the slightest.
Zen Master hopes that Zhou Hang will lead the substitutes in the second team to make contributions.
The Lakers are actively preparing for the playoffs.
The same is true for the Nuggets. The Nuggets flew to Los Angeles after the regular season.
Playing on the Lakers' territory, they dare not be careless.
Anthony and Iverson are very aware of the strength of the Lakers.
If they don't play super games, they will be eliminated by the Lakers.
Facing the Lakers, the Nuggets players also felt tremendous pressure.
The media and fans are also preparing for the playoffs.
The hot spot is constantly sizzling.
Kobe VS Iverson, Kobe VS Anthony.
No matter what kind of counterpoint it is, it is exciting.
TNT's Barkley, Smith, and Miller also talked about this round of the series in a program.
TNT's commentators are known for being both professional and funny. They are NBA stars, but they often say all kinds of sand sculpture remarks. Fans also like to see them talking and laughing on the host stage.
Barkley first said: "Although everyone thinks that the Lakers will survive the first round, I don't think it's that easy for them to relax. The combination of Iverson and Anthony is very powerful. Their offensive firepower is not inferior to that of the Lakers. , and sometimes they show more talent than the Lakers. The Lakers lack Andrew Bynum, and they lack a strong center inside. Nene and Camby are tough insiders. They are not players that Gasol likes to match. .”
The three commentators chatted for a while and then they talked about Zhou Hang.
Smith said: "The confrontation between JR Smith and Zhou Hang is also worth looking forward to. Both of them are outside firepower."
Miller said with a smile: "JR can only compete with Zhou Hang when he is crazy, otherwise Zhou Hang will crush him. Looking at the scoring data of the two, Zhou Hang's average points per game are more than twice that of him."
The opinion of media people is similar to that of fans. They think that the Lakers will have certain advantages, but the advantages will not be obvious. Zhou Hang is an important advantage of the Lakers.
Time soon came to April 4, and the Lakers ushered in the challenge of the Denver Nuggets at home.
The G1 playoffs kicked off!
