71 points! 71 points in two playoff qualification games! Thank you, Rockets!

Against the Trail Blazers, he shot 14 out of 29 (2 out of 7 from three-point range), scoring 35 points with 5 rebounds and 2 assists; against the Warriors, he shot 14 out of 20 (8 out of 14 from three-point range), exploding for 36 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists.

Jalen Green contributed a total of 71 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists across the two playoff qualification games, ultimately leading the Suns to advance to the playoffs as the eighth seed in the Western Conference, where they will face the Thunder, who are ranked first in the Western Conference and the league.

Feng Xuege finally proved he can perform in tough games, dispelling the gloom from last year's first-round playoff series. At that time, as the Rockets' primary perimeter offensive core, he played in 7 games averaging 31.3 minutes per game, only scoring 13.3 points with 5.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists, with shooting percentages of 37.2%, 29.5%, and 66.7%. This directly led to the Rockets being upset by the Warriors in a "Black Seven" scenario and subsequently being let go by the team management.

Fortunately, being traded wasn't entirely a bad thing.

Jalen Green, now with the Suns, received more tolerance and patience. This regular season, due to injuries, he only played 32 games, and his performance declined with averages of 17.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.1 steals. Yet, the coaching staff still trusted him greatly, which led to his super breakout in the playoff qualification games.

If Jalen Green can carry his playoff qualification game performance into the first round of the playoffs, then the Suns definitely have the capability to compete with the Thunder.

Dillon, who is always brimming with confidence, when discussing the topic of facing the powerful reigning champion, stated: "No matter who the opponent is, we will take away the victory in Game 1."

All matchups for this year's playoffs are as follows:

Western Conference: Thunder (1) vs Suns (8), Lakers (4) vs Rockets (5), Nuggets (3) vs Timberwolves (6), Spurs (2) vs Trail Blazers (7);

Eastern Conference: Pistons (1) vs Magic (8), Cavaliers (4) vs Raptors (5), Knicks (3) vs Hawks (6), Celtics (2) vs Philadelphia (7).

Yes, this year's playoffs will not feature the two veteran superstars Curry and Leonard, and both players' teams, the Warriors and the Clippers, may face the fate of a complete rebuild.
