(Seeking Monthly Tickets!)_4 In fact, Pippen feels that this is not only about Reeves’ progress, but it’s also the result of Roger’s improvent.
Pippen still holds the view: If it were Roger from a few years ago, Michael Reeves’ confidence would have been crushed in the first two months of the season.
Roger’s hits and pressure might have made Michael Reeves diocre from that point on.
But the current Roger is like a seasoned professional woman, knowing well when to relax and when to tighten up.
He can integrate everyone into this team, unify them, and channel energy into the team.
Starting with Stevie Smith’s departure which prompted Roger to reflect, to Paul Pierce, and now Michael Reeves.
All these examples prove that Roger is truly a great leader now.
The Atlanta Hawks ultimately finished with 68 wins, taking first place in the East with a landslide.
Because the 76ers in second place in the East won 12 gas fewer than the Hawks.
On the other side, the Lakers’ big three finished first in the West with 66 wins.
With Shaq missing 14 gas, Kobe missing 12 gas, and Grant Hill missing 13 gas, grabbing 66 wins, Los Angeles fans can’t ask for more.
The Zen Master has been protecting his players in the regular season, preparing for the playoffs.
Considering Roger took a break for minor injuries early in the season for 8 gas, it’s evident this year the Lakers and Hawks didn’t give their all in the regular season.
And this ans the two teams will burn more fiercely in the playoffs.
Roger beca the scoring king for the sixth consecutive year with an average of 35.4 points per ga, finishing first in the MVP rankings at the end of the season.
Another noteworthy Hawks player after the regular season is Big Ben, who is the rebounding king blocking king this season, and at season’s end, he’s ranked first on the DPOY leaderboard.
Now almost everyone thinks that Big Ben, who averages less than double digits, is qualified to receive a max salary.
However, despite getting Steve Belkin’s early promise, Big Ben has yet to receive a contract extension.
Big Ben is puzzled by this, after all, with both parties willing to cooperate, early renewal is the safest way.
The team can avoid players entering the free market.
Players can focus on gas with peace of mind after renewing early.
But the Magic hasn’t done so; after Belkin last ntioned offering Big Ben a max salary, the matter completely vanished.
Big Ben’s agent can only explain it this way: “Maybe they just want you to maintain montum in the playoffs, forget about renewal, you’ve already been promised, once you win the championship everything will fall into place.”
Big Ben has no doubt about this; he believes in the Hawks’ promise.
Now, the team has entered playoff mode, ready to pursue a two-peat.
And the Hawks’ first-round playoff opponent is precisely the Orlando Magic.
The Orlando Magic finally achieved 46 wins, and succeeded in ranking eighth in the East.
Fate has invisibly arranged these two teams together.
Based on the experiences from past years, Roger’s team generally does not face any trouble in the first round of the playoffs, nor does the ga have any suspense.
But this year, the Orlando Magic shocked everyone in Atlanta by taking the first ga!
Big Ben dominated the interior with 11 points and 18 rebounds, but as the first in the DPOY rankings, he couldn’t stop the Magic from scoring today.
Because all those deadly Magic shots ca from beyond the three-point line.
Just like their regular season wins against the Hawks, the Magic won by relying on two things: suppressing Pierce, and then matching Roger’s firepower with collective firepower.
Paul Pierce was off tonight, dropping balls repeatedly and getting frustrated by Larry Hughes’ trash talk.
T-Mac relied on excellent periter shooting, with a 53% shooting rate throughout the ga, scoring 33 points.
As a player playing the playoffs for the first ti, T-Mac’s performance is simply phenonal.
Scottie Pippen tried his hardest but still found no solution against T-Mac.
Now Pippen can understand why Jerry Krause always wanted to trade him for this sleepy-eyed guy back in the day.
Of course, if it were only T-Mac, surely it wouldn’t suffice to defeat the Hawks.
The Magic’s two major shooters, Mike Miller and Darrick Stoudamire, were incredibly accurate with their threes today.
The open space also gave Larry Hughes the opportunity to break through.
Although Roger scored 36 points, he still couldn’t withstand the Magic’s concentrated attack.
107 to 101, the Orlando Magic took the first match, leading the series 1-0!
This is Roger’s first ti lagging behind in the first round of the playoffs in his career!
After the ga, as usual, T-Mac greeted Roger.
According to Kobe, Roger would completely transform in the playoffs.
But T-Mac didn’t notice any difference in Roger, he remained amiable and even wished T-Mac good luck in the next ga.
At this mont, T-Mac could confirm that Kobe is simply prejudiced against Roger.
Roger is now trailing 0-1 in the first round of the playoffs, surely he wouldn’t still not see him as an opponent?
At the post-ga press conference, Larry Hughes was very active, sowhat dazed by the unexpected victory.
You know young n, they tend to easily forget themselves after achieving a bit of success.
When a reporter asked nurous Roger-related questions, Hughes shrugged.
“Can you stop asking about Roger all the ti?
Maybe you can ask about our plans for the second round.”
At that mont, the entire press conference went silent.
No one knows what Larry Hughes was thinking.
Winning one ga against the Hawks, great, you deserve credit.
But do you f***ing think you can upset the first seed?
Ten minutes after the press conference, T-Mac received a call from Kobe on the team bus.
As soon as it was connected, T-Mac heard Kobe laughing hysterically.
“Hahahahaha!
Tracy, are you ready?
Soon you will witness the real Roger, you’ll fall into a true hell!
Hahahahaha!
You’ll be the first to stain his crown with blood!”
T-Mac:…
Because Kobe’s voice was so loud, Larry Hughes sitting next to T-Mac also heard what Kobe said.
He grumbled discontentedly: “Enough!
Don’t listen to that fool, Tracy!
If he’s bad, it’s his own problem, Roger isn’t that scary!
Just win one more ga, and we’re close to advancing!”
On that day, Kobe Bryant laughed even happier.
(Yesterday I went out only to realize it was Sunday, hahaha, but what I wrote yesterday afternoon fits perfectly for today, so I don’t need to take leave today.)
