NOVEL NEXT Chapter 330
Chapter 329 2008 09 Season Summary!
Clippers send: Sign-and-trade for four-year, $42 million Corey Maggette.
Knicks send: 2010 second-round pick and a $7 million trade exception.
In terms of trading, the Clippers are definitely at a loss.
But Corey Maggette is a free agent. If the Knicks didn’t sign him naked without salary, they wouldn’t sign first and then trade.
In the original history, Corey Maggette went to the Warriors.
But the Warriors now have Wally Szczerbiak, and although they want Corey Maggette, there is no way to sign them naked.
Byron Davis’ contract is about to expire, and the UAE’s rookie bonus is coming to an end.
The Warriors also needed cap space, so they didn’t choose to sign Corey Maggette.
The transaction between the Lakers and the Knicks is the last big fish in the free market.
After the deal closed, the free market returned to calm again.
Gu Yu returned to Boston after the Olympics.
In early October, when the Celtics’ new season training camp began.
Gu Yu suddenly realized something was wrong.
Because, while pouring chicken soup, Rivers announced that he would do his best to compete for the first place in the East.
It’s not that it’s wrong to compete for No. 1 in the East. After all, once you get No. 1 in the East, you will have home-court advantage in the playoffs.
1……
Can the bodies of veterans like Pierce and Junzilei hold up?
In the playoffs, this high-intensity competition has won the championship for three consecutive years, and it has been shopping for the tiebreaker in the Eastern Finals in one year.
What will happen to the Warriors who have entered the finals five times in the future?
Not everyone’s body 23 is James.
Gu Yu is really not optimistic about Rivers’ decision.
Facts also proved that Gu Yu was right.
The 2008-09 season was a disastrous season for the Boston Celtics.
In order to compete for the first place in the East, the Celtics paid a heavy price.
Okur ruptured his Achilles tendon against the Pistons in January and was out for the entire season.
Okura history, also suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon, but that was in the 2009-10 season.
In the Jazz Okur at most, he played in the Western Conference Finals, and he never touched the floor in the finals.
The fierce confrontation in the playoffs made Okur’s already tired body the first to have problems.
After Okur’s Achilles tendon ruptured, it was Battier who was hit by an injury.
Shane’s problem is a hamstring strain.
The Celtics often play dead five, which leads to Shane often have to switch to the inside.
The system of infinite switching. In the original history, Paul and Hakishi have suffered hamstring strains, which can prove that this system is indeed easy to cause hamstring injuries.
Shane Battier’s hamstring strain is a first-level strain, but his injury appeared at the end of February. If he is forced to return in the playoffs, it might be a second-level hamstring strain.
Therefore, Shane can be said to be reimbursed this season.
After Okur and Battier were reimbursed, all Celtics fans were heartbroken.
And that’s not the end.
After Shane Battier, the Birdman suffered a torn index finger ligament due to an accident when he fell to the ground to fight, and the season was announced to be reimbursed.
The playoffs have yet to start, and the Celtics have lost three major rotations.
The only good news is that Tony is back.
However, after Tony suffered a serious injury, there was only defense left. The breakthrough speed on the offensive end dropped significantly, and he couldn’t get past the defender at all.
The shooting that was already unstable is now even more strained.
With Rudy Fernandez, the “Spanish Demon Sword”, Tony’s playing time was directly pressed and pressed again and again. In the last month, Tony averaged only 7.8 minutes of playing time per game.
It can be said that the Celtics have no accident and have decided to give up Tony at this time.
In the end, after paying a heavy price, the Celtics got their wish and won the first place in the East.
In the 2008-09 season, the Eastern Conference teams were ranked from top to bottom.
East No. 1, Boston Celtics, 61 wins and 21 losses.
Second in the East, the Cleveland Cavaliers, 60 wins and 24 losses.
Third in the East, Orlando Magic, 59 wins and 23 losses.
Fourth in the East, Philadelphia 76ers, 55-27
Fifth in the Eastern Conference, Charlotte Bobcats, 52 wins and 30 losses.
Sixth in the Eastern Conference, Atlanta Hawks, 47 wins and 35 losses.
Seventh in the Eastern Conference, the New York Knicks, 45 wins and 37 losses.
Eighth in the East, the Miami Heat, 43 wins and 39 losses.
The record of the Cavaliers is worse than the original history.
In the original history, Wally Szczerbiak, Big Ben and Joe Smith, the main rotation of the Cavaliers, were not in the Cavaliers at this time.
Combined with this history, the weakened bench has made the Eastern Conference more competitive, resulting in the Cavaliers winning six fewer games than in the original history.
The 76ers have not reached 60 wins this season.
Part of it is because of the aging roster.
Antoine Walker retired this season in the original history, and is still in the lineup as a substitute.
Uncle Mu originally retired after playing this season and is now Dayao’s first substitute.
Because of age, Iverson has indeed experienced a certain decline this season, just like the original history.
Sanders also did not die the main force, but chose to start a rest.
Iverson also knew that he was getting old, and the core of the team gradually moved closer to Dayao.
The ball has also been gradually given to Artest and Iguodala who have reached the contract year.
It can be said that the words “alternation of old and new” are very obvious in this season’s Philadelphia 76ers.
The performance of the Bobcats this season can be said to be closely related to Roy.
In the original history, Roy became the second best guard in the Western Conference after Kobe Bryant this season in the Blazers.
This history in the East, is to compete with Wade for the first shooting guard in the East.
Western team rankings, top to bottom.
First in the West, the Los Angeles Lakers, 65 wins and 17 losses.
Second in the Western Conference, the Phoenix Suns, 63 wins and 19 losses.
Third in the West, Denver Nuggets, 55 wins and 27 losses.
Fourth in the West, Dallas Mavericks, 54 wins and 28 losses.
Fifth in the Western Conference, San Antonio Spurs, 53 wins and 29 losses.
Sixth in the West, Memphis Grizzlies, 51 wins and 31 losses.
Seventh in the West, Portland Trail Blazers, 50 wins and 32 losses.
Eighth in the West, the Utah Jazz, 49 wins and 33 losses.
The Warriors are ninth in the Western Conference with a record of 47-35.
The Blazers have been really good this season.
Although Auden was on and off, he chose Love and his sister-in-law to form the twin towers.
Coupled with a ‘French Pippen’ Batum and Mike Conley, the Blazers successfully reached the playoffs.
Sun this season, although Big Ben reimbursed most of the season, but the sun doctor is really powerful.
After Big Ben came back in the second half of the season, it seemed like a dream back to the top.
With Laga Bell on the outside, the Suns have the fourth-best defensive efficiency in the league.
Second only to the Lakers, Celtics and Magic, and even stronger than the Cavaliers, Spurs and other defensive teams!
At the end of the season, it directly played a wave of 15 consecutive victories.
Become one of the hottest teams in the title race!
After the playoffs started, most of the first rounds were crushing games.
The Heat, led by Wade and O’Neal Jr., were powerless to fight back against the Celtics.
The Celtics swept the Heat directly 4:0.
The Bobcats led by Roy were also taught to be human by the 76ers.
No way, the Bobcats are indeed not the opponents of the 76ers.
The Bobcats are a typical multi-point blooming team.
The starting five, 617 people, Roy, Jason Richardson, Gerald Wallace, Dior and Okafor all have the ability to hold the ball.
But facing the defense composed of Iguodala and Artest, it was impossible to penetrate.
Dayao frequently made kills in the low post.
The series averaged 27.4 points, 11.2 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game.
Plus Iverson, who averaged 25.4 points, 6.5 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game.
The 76ers swept the Bobcats 4-1.
Celtics 76ers meet again in the playoffs.
In the past two years, the championship has been the team that won the playoffs.
As a result, many have called this group series the most Finals-like playoffs.
The Magic also swept the Eagles 4-1 Gentleman.
After signing Rasheed Wallace, another shortcoming of the Magic was also filled.
After Rasheed Wallace takes the 4th position, Lewis can swing to the 3rd position, and Warcraft does not have to fight for rebounds one-on-two.
The history of the great Van Gundy also learned from the Celtics’ death five.
A combination of Warcraft, Rasheed Wallace, Turkoglu, Michael Pietrus and Lewis.
It has become a problem that many teams cannot solve.
The series between the Cavaliers and the Knicks is generally not much suspense.
Sharks are indeed old, and the Cavaliers are playing defensive counterattacks to consume sharks.
In the first half, when the Sharks have physical fitness, the two sides can play back and forth.
After the sharks bottomed out in the second half.
The Knicks were beaten directly.
Although McGrady did not have a closed injection in this history, because of injuries, his state is indeed not good.
After the sharks had no physical fitness, McGrady frequently hit the iron in the face of James’ defense.
In the end, the Cavaliers swept the Knicks 4-1 and met the Magic in the semifinals.
