Chapter 510: The Increasingly Confusing Playoffs

"After the Olympics, I want to retire." Yao Ming said to Lin Yi seriously.

For Dayao, if it wasn't for Lin Yi's sudden appearance that gave him the idea of ​​continuing to fight for another Olympic Games, he would probably not choose to lose weight and change his style of play after being scarred.

In the past two seasons, Yao has become the Buddha in Houston. Even if the Rockets are only a little bit short of making the playoffs this season, Yao also rejected the proposal to increase his playing time in the second half of the season.

The giant knows his physical condition better than anyone else, and 20 minutes per game is already his current limit, because this is an NBA-level game.

Dayao does not regret his decision, because he has also given everything to the Rockets.

Lin Yi nodded, he respected all of Dayao's choices, but Lin Yi could also feel the unwillingness in the giant's words...

Perhaps for Dayao, his best years have passed, but you said that Dayao has no regrets for the NBA?

If there is no regret, then after the Beijing Olympics, why did he choose to come back that night at Staples at the risk of injury?

Maybe Dayao can feel in the dark that the Rockets' best chance is to pass the Lakers that season.

"Come on, Alin, strive to defend your title successfully! In a few days, it will be the MVP awards day. Let me congratulate you in advance for winning the MVP again." Dayao's smile was as embarrassing as ever...

Lin Yi, on the other hand, was really about to kneel.

Brother Yao, you don’t know that the Knicks have been poisoned by various parties recently...

I'm almost breastfeeding to death!

After knowing that Dayao had thought of retiring, for some reason, Lin Yi inexplicably felt a little empty in his heart. Perhaps Lin Yi had gotten used to going to Dayao's house for dinner when he was a guest in Houston in the past two years, and then The two chatted about basketball together.

And Dayao always told Lin Yi a lot of interesting stories about the national team.

From the golden generation, to the Beijing Olympics, to the defeat in Tianjin and the return of the kings in Wuhan last year... Maybe the Chinese men's basketball team has disappointed the fans, but this is a team in the three major men's sports, The only team that has never missed the Olympics.

Lin Yi is very clear that it was not until 2016 that the flag bearer of the Chinese Olympic delegation changed hands for the first time. Before this change of flag bearer, the previous flag bearers of the Chinese Olympic delegation were all men's basketball players.

After the regular season ended, Dayao made a plan. He would watch the rest of the Knicks games in New York, and then in the summer, Yao would pay to bring the entire men’s basketball team to the United States for training, preparing for the London Olympics. .

Lin Yi felt that if he couldn't tell the next Olympic Games, he would have to call Yao Chairman Yao.

Yao Ming was really relieved. He was relieved that Yi Jianlian stayed in the NBA, and Lin Yi reached a height he had never reached in the NBA.

Do you think Dayao would envy Lin Yi? That's really envious... It's just that what Dayao envies is not everything that Lin Yi has obtained, but his tough body.

Everyone will have thought in self-reflection, what if that, what if...

It's a pity that this cold and ruthless world has nothing to do with it. The two giants chatted from dinner until late at night. Lin Yi also invited Dayao to play 2K with him, and Dayao took Lin Yi to push a wave of World of Warcraft dungeons.

"A Lin, what do you think we can finish in this London Olympics?" Because it was getting late, Lin Yi stayed Dayao at his home for the night, and asked suddenly when Dayao returned to his room to sleep.

Lin Yi thought about it, and the champion Lin Yi thought it was impossible... The U.S. team in the 2012 London Olympics was also a dream team. You know, the U.S. men’s basketball team after being beaten up is almost like a bug in the international arena. Existence, although the Chinese men's basketball team has an inside advantage, but the outside level is really a few dimensions behind.

"Let's see the lottery!" Lin Yi felt that if he could avoid the American men's basketball team before the semi-finals, a medal should be no problem.

...

Just as the Knicks were actively preparing for the Eastern Conference semifinals in New York, the results of the first round of the East and West were all released.

Lin Yi found that he was really good at destroying classics, because originally in this year's playoffs, the 76ers would stage a black eight, kill the Bulls without Rose, and let the Philadelphia fans feel the last madness before rebuilding... .

But now...

Ahem, let’s get down to business. In the other three rounds of the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Heat defeated the Magic 4-1. Although Howard can still overwhelm the Heat inside, the current Magic is really not good.

The Big Three of the Heat did not spend too much effort. Although they accidentally lost Jingzhou in the fourth game, after returning to Miami, James played a 30+ triple-double and ended this round of the series with his own hands.

The Heat's opponent in the Eastern Conference semifinals will be the Hawks. The Hawks reversed the Bulls 4-2 in the first round... Thibodeau complained helplessly after the series ended, "You can't lose Rose, Noah , Boozer can advance to the next round."

Lin Yi felt that if Thibodeau hadn't figured out that it was his deadly main force that caused the Bulls players to overdraw in the regular season, this single-minded coach would only continue to repeat this year's tragedy in the future.

The Knicks' opponent in the Eastern Conference semifinals will be the Pacers. The trajectory of history has completely changed. The young Pacers eliminated the Celtics who were supposed to enter the Eastern Conference Finals and staged another seven games with the Heat.

The reconstruction of the Celtics is inevitable, and more importantly, after the Celtics were eliminated by the Pacers 3-4, the gaps in the Celtics' locker room were captured by the keen media.

This team that once dominated the Eastern Conference has completely fallen apart.

In the West, the Spurs, Mavericks, and Thunder have passed the test. In the Western Conference semifinals, the Thunder will play against the Grizzlies again. Although there is no Tony Allen in this life, the Grizzlies coach Hollins still said that they have found a way to defend Duran. The key to special.

On the other side, the battle between the Spurs and the Mavericks also brought the fans' thoughts back to a few years ago... My God, why are these two teams still fighting each other in the West?

Can we change the script?

Isn't it said that the Spurs are old?

Lin Yi knew that this group of people believed in Duncan's evil... Bah, the Spurs are old, just listen to it, it's like people telling you that Mr. Guo is actually a developmental jungler. .....

Hehehe!

...

The Knicks who advanced early will have a huge physical advantage when facing the Pacers, but the Pacers are different from the Celtics. This team is as young as the Knicks, so even if the Knicks have a regular season record With the advantage, their whole team is still very cautious about this round of the series.

Public opinion is still generally optimistic about the Knicks and Heat meeting in the Eastern Conference Finals. The G1 game of the Eastern Conference semifinals will be held at the home of the Knicks on the 13th. Before the Eastern Conference semifinals, the whole New York is full of excitement. For New Yorkers, if the Knicks can continue to win the NBA championship, then New York will usher in a very memorable year.

On the 11th, Curry and Ah Lian also came to New York to help out. After learning that Lin Yi will participate in the Olympics in the summer, the elementary school students said excitedly, "I also want to play in the Olympics!"

Lin Yi knew that Curry hoped to abuse himself in the international arena...

So Lin Yi kicked Curry, and the elementary school student was so angry that he hit him with a backhand knee.

On the 12th, the great war is approaching. No matter what, it is up to people to make things happen. Lin Yi has also adjusted himself to the best state this year.

Before the start of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Knicks had a dinner together. Compared with last year, the Knicks this year have more newcomers. This year, the team is really not easy to lead...

Because at a dinner party, in the Knicks' most popular game of Landlords, the unlucky Lin Yi lost $50,000...
