Chapter 401 The Playoffs Begin
The process of Lin Hao's wedding was not complicated. Both parents and Lin Hao and his wife came to the stage and said a few words.
Probably just to thank relatives and friends for coming.
Then came the feast. It seemed that Lin Hao and Ge Xiaoxuan's parents were very sensible and understood the importance of the feast, so the speaking time was very short and they did not dare to delay the feast for relatives and friends.
"Brother Dong, here's a toast to you and sister-in-law!"
"Brother Dong, here's a toast to you and sister-in-law!"
"Brother Dong, here's a toast to you and sister-in-law!"
At Weidong's table, Lin Hao's teammates toasted Weidong frequently.
During the chat, Wei Dong also learned that Ge Xiaoxuan and Lin Hao are college alumni. Before Lin Hao joined the league, they had known each other. They dated for several years and finally entered the marriage hall together. As for Ge Xiaoxuan's identity, It's also very simple, her parents are businessmen, they seem to be quite rich, and Ge Xiaoxuan can be considered a rich second generation.
Lin Hao made a toast, and sat down at Weidong's table with Ge Xiaoxuan.
Lin Hao said: "I really didn't expect you two to come to my wedding. I really feel grateful and guilty. I hope it won't affect your playoffs."
Curry laughed and said, "A glass of wedding wine, it won't affect our championship!"
Lin Hao's teammate also said: "Of course, with Dong Ge here, this year's championship must still be the Suns."
This season, the Rockets met the Suns four times, and they were blown up by the Suns four times. Their record is also ranked last in the West, which is completely different from the Suns who are the number one in the West.
Not long after Lin Hao sat down, Lin Hao's parents and Ge Xiaoxuan's parents came over to toast together.
The wedding. It’s just such a process. The main reason they came to toast is because Weidong is at the table. Of course, Lin Hao’s parents hope that Weidong can take care of Lin Hao in the alliance. As for Ge Xiaoxuan’s parents, they have other ideas in their hearts. I'm in the cotton business, and I want to establish a business cooperation with Weidong Group.
When Lin Hao's father toasted, he said: "Mr. Wei, Lin Hao will no longer be an overseas Chinese."
"Oh?"
Wei Dong didn't understand what Lin Hao's father meant.
Lin Hao's father explained: "Since the day before yesterday, Lin Hao has been a legal Chinese citizen, and he has returned to Chinese nationality."
Wei Dong immediately cupped his fists, "Lin Hao, congratulations~"
"Hahaha"
Lin Hao also smiled, "I have already submitted an application to the Huaxia Men's Basketball team, and strive to be able to compete for the country in the Men's Basketball World Cup this year."
Wei Dong also remembered that Lin Hao had said this to him when he played against the Rockets. It seems that this year's Men's Basketball World Cup will have another teammate.
Wei Dong, Yi Nan, Huang Yu, Lin Hao, Gu Qi, Li Pei. This year's Men's Basketball World Cup, the Huaxia Men's Basketball team can still put together an NBA lineup. Thinking about it, it is quite exciting.
The first round matchup list has already come out.
East: Heat VS Cavaliers, Pacers VS Hornets, Bulls VS Nets, Raptors VS Wizards
West: Suns VS Mavericks, Lakers VS Thunder, Spurs VS Grizzlies, Trail Blazers VS Warriors
The Lone Ranger with Nuo Tianwang, in the first year when the Heat formed the Big Three, Nuo Tianwang almost overthrew the Big Three by himself and led the Lone Ranger to win the championship. Nuo Tianwang also became a god in the finals of that year, Now that he meets the Suns in the first round of the playoffs, I wonder if Nuo Tianwang can continue his legend.
On April 4, the playoffs began.
There are four games on the first day, and the fans' attention is focused on two of them, the Suns against the Mavericks and the Heat against the Cavaliers.
Especially the Heat's match against the Cavaliers can be described as full of gimmicks!When James left the Cavaliers to join the Heat, he probably never thought that there would be a day against the Cavaliers in the playoffs.
The Cavaliers played well this year, especially in the second half of the season. Adekontobo has gradually grown up. Perhaps it was the injury to Irving that opened up his second line of leadership. Anyway, since then, he has played better and better. Except that the shooting is still not stable, other aspects have been significantly improved.
After the regular season, Middleton played 82 regular season games on behalf of the Lone Ranger this season, averaging 19.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game. He is a strong contender for the most improved player this season.
At [-] o'clock in the evening, fans entered the field one after another, and players from both sides began to warm up.
"Definitely!"
"Definitely!"
"Definitely!"
Before the game started, there was already a lot of noise in the American West Arena. No one thought that the Lone Ranger could beat the Suns.
Starting lineup for this game:
Suns: Weidong, Durant, Curry, Thompson, Green.
Mavericks: Middleton, Nowitzki, Calderon, Ellis, Brandon
"Beep!!!"
With the whistle of the referee, the game begins.
Nowitzki and Durant jump the ball, and Nowitzki assigns the basketball to Calderon.
Calderon received the ball and dribbled the ball just past the midfield when Wei Dong suddenly appeared beside him and intercepted the ball. Curry followed Wei Dong and ran forward.
Calderon, who was chasing up, wanted to pull Weidong, but Weidong flicked his wrist and passed the ball without looking behind his back. The basketball was in Curry's hands, and Curry raised his hand to score a three-pointer.
"Shh!!!"
Basketball hollow into the net.
3:0! ! !
"too fast!"
Nowitzki witnessed the whole process of Weidong's stealing. Weidong's fear is not because of his quick hands, but because Weidong knows Calderon's dribbling method like the back of his hand and predicted Calderon's next move.
In the regular season, the Lone Ranger can also fight with the Suns!
Although Middleton has always emphasized that the Suns will only get real in the playoffs, but his teammates don't believe it, because the Suns in the regular season are already too strong.
But from the oppressiveness of this first steal, the Mavericks realized that Middleton was right.
Then, the Lone Ranger attacked.
Nowitzki received a pass from Calderon in the middle distance. Facing Durant's defense, he chose to play back. Middleton took advantage of this opportunity to slip to the basket. Nowitzki hit the ground and passed the ball. In Middleton's hands.
Middleton received the ball and was about to make a layup when Weidong appeared from behind him and blocked the ball with a slap.
Curry received the ball and dribbled straight to the frontcourt.
Calderon, Ellis, and Brandon quickly returned to the defense, but Curry seemed to have no defender in front of him, and shot a three-pointer when he reached the three-point line.
"Shh!!!"
The basketball hits the net hollow again.
6:0! ! !
The oppressiveness of Weidong's defense and the aggressiveness of Curry's offense made it difficult for the Mavericks to adapt.
Five minutes into the first quarter, the Lone Ranger was already 5 points behind.
Pause time.
Carlisle held the tactical board and was silent for a while before saying: "When defending, you can't focus on a certain person, and you need to make up the defense quickly!"
