Relying only on a passable Kidd and an unreliable Kenyon Martin, the Nets can basically expect nothing to win.

Another victory, the aggregate score has become 3:0.

At this time, the Nets should no longer think about the situation in the next round, they should think more about how to save their last face, so that they can end this season with dignity.

By this time, even Kidd, who had always been confident in the team, had to admit defeat. There has been a precedent in the history of the NBA for a 3-0 deficit to achieve a shocking comeback. But it's clear that this miracle doesn't suit the current Nets.

"We tried our best, but the results weren't satisfactory. The Knicks played well, and for the most part they were firmly in control of the game. So they won!"

'We've wasted too many chances in this game and I think we should be able to think about what's next now. We've got to make changes to fit in with the NBA right now, and our roster is just too lacking in energy compared to the Knicks. Reaching the finals twice in a row in the first two years seems to have made us people satisfied and lose our vigilance, and now the consequences of what we have planted can only be tasted by ourselves. ”

Kidd's words don't just represent the Nets' sentiments right now, as many teams in the league have sneered at the Knicks' behavior when they were hoarding young players over the past two seasons. It is believed that the Knicks will not have a very smooth journey without experienced veterans, even if they can make the playoffs.

But now the facts have proven that the Knicks have left behind many of the old powerhouses in the league in terms of team building. Even though there are still many teams that can compete with the Knicks this season, if they don't make changes in time, the future of the league can only belong to the New Yorkers.

In the final game against the Nets, although Jefferson finally insisted on playing with an injury, the New Jerseys, who had gone on the same page, still couldn't hold on for long.

When the game reached the end of the third quarter, the Nets reluctantly gave up the game. The gap of 23 points makes Kidd, a veteran, already weak.

Lamar once again fulfilled his previous vow, completing the sweep of the New Jersey Nets and extending the Knicks' playoff winning streak to eight. Whether their record can continue in the future depends on whether their next opponent cooperates.

The day after the Knicks swept the Nets, the other semifinals in the East were over.

To Lamar's great surprise, the Detroit Pistons also swept the Philadelphia 76ers to advance in advance!

In Lamar's memory, in the original history, after the start of this season, the New Jersey Nets and Philadelphia 76ers, who represent the old powerhouses in the East, will gradually decline, but it is definitely not a fall like now, which is also a process.

In contrast to the decline of the old powerhouses, it is the strong rise of upstarts like the Detroit Pistons. But since Lamar's rebirth, Chauncey Billups, one of the cornerstones of the rise of the Detroit Pistons, has been dug into Lamar's side. It stands to reason that the Pistons should not be able to sweep the Philadelphia 76ers as easily as they are now, and the two teams will at least have to fight hard to determine the winner.

Lamar's arrival changed history in a lot of ways, and the Philadelphia 76ers and Detroit Pistons unexpectedly met in the Eastern Conference semifinals. To be sure, if he had to choose one of those two teams as the Knicks' Eastern Conference Finals opponent, he would still prefer the Philadelphia 76ers.

After all, the psychological shadow given to Lamar by the Pistons Five Tigers is too great!

Before the Eastern Conference semifinals, the AI also confidently announced that it would take out the Pistons with a total score of 4:0 and have a good competition with the Knicks led by Lamar on the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals.

But the AI finally paid the price for their arrogance, and the 76ers not only failed to KO the Pistons 4:0, but were swept out of the game by the Pistons with a total score of 4:0.

For such a result, the AI is naturally like a dead heart.

When the fourth game was over, the AI, which could no longer stand the poor performance of his teammates, exploded: "Don't you see what they're doing? I even felt like I was fighting against nine people in today's game." It's the same in our half, and it's in the Pistons' half!"

'Coleman, Ollie, and others, their play in these four games has been a disaster. I don't know how long this will last, but one thing I know for sure. If I go on like this, I'm not going to be silent anymore, I'm not going to tie my career to a team that never has a championship hope! ”

The sudden outbreak of AI made the entire Philadelphia 76ers panic. Philadelphia's top brass is well aware that if the 76ers are to truly move into the ranks of the strong teams, they can only rely on AI. If the AI leaves the city at this time, it will be an absolute disaster for Philadelphia.

On the day the game ended, the general manager of the 76ers publicly announced that they were also very unhappy with the performance of other players in the Eastern Conference semifinals. The team will bring in players who are truly worthy of AI this summer, and strive to build a team capable of competing for the championship for AI.

The words of the general manager of the 76 team immediately made the entire league lively, and for a while, many big fish who entered the free agent market this summer were associated with the 76ers.

Although because of the appearance of Lamar, AI is no longer the brightest star in the east in history. However, as a representative figure of the 96 generation and the mainstay of the alliance today, the appeal of AI is still very strong.

For a while, many stars who lacked a championship honor in their careers wanted to have the opportunity to go to Philadelphia and play alongside AI.

The Philadelphia 76ers were eliminated from the playoffs, and in addition to AI, the most unhappy was the league's chairman David Stern.

Although Stern also doesn't like the AI's usual bizarre and maverick behavior, in order to make the game more exciting, more attractive to fans, and higher ratings, Stern still prefers that A like a lone hero can lead the team to the Eastern Conference Finals with the Knicks.

After all, a style of play like the Detroit Pistons is destined to be unpopular with most fans.

But just when Stern's long-awaited strongest showdown between AI and Lamar, the pride of the Eastern East, was about to be released, his most unhappy piston actually messed up the show. Maybe now he can only hope for next season, just like the AI.

Will the Philadelphia 76ers be able to successfully catch the big fish and rise next season?

After the two teams in the Eastern Conference Finals were decided, the Western Conference Semifinals also dissipated. In the end, the more spicy San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Lakers defeated their respective opponents and successfully advanced.

Although the Utah Jazz's double-spair is strong enough, and the blocking and demolition tactics are still thriving, after all, the years are not forgiving, and the blocking and demolition are not unsolvable. When it comes to meeting an opponent who restrains them, the scene of Utah Jazz can be imagined.

It can be said that the current Spurs roster is infinitely close to demonization, and people speculate that the Spurs will go downhill almost every season, but they can achieve very good results every season.

Originally, everyone was optimistic that the Utah Jazz would beat the Spurs and reach the Finals, but it turned out that the blocking and pick-and-roll tactics were not a panacea, and there was a day when they failed. If you don't know how to work around anything, sooner or later you will be eliminated by the trend!

4：2！

Such a total score may not say much, I believe that if it were not for Ginobili accidentally sprained his ankle in Game 2, the Spurs would probably have swept their opponents out of the tournament like the Knicks and Pistons.

In fact, when the Utah Jazz finally won two away games in a row and pulled the overall score to 2:2, Argentina made a comeback. The rest of the script was completely in the hands of the Spurs, who eventually defeated the Utah Jazz to advance to the Western Conference Finals.

The other Eastern Conference semifinals in the West were similar, and after overcoming obstacles all the way to the semifinals, the Timberwolves' good luck came to an end.

Lakers veteran coach Phil Jackson played the triangle tactics to the fullest in the game, Kobe Bryant and Shaq O'Neal, the OK combination of nearly 7 years of partnership, although it is undergoing the devastation of the 7-year itch, but the power is still not comparable to the three wolf cubs.

Shaq and Kobe Bryant slammed the Timberwolves' defense inside and out, and finally slashed the Timberwolves with a total score of 4:2.

San Antonio Spurs vs Los Angeles Lakers.

Detroit Pistons vs New York Knicks.

The best four teams in the league ended up making it to the end, and when the playoffs got to this point, David Stern was the most disappointed.

Originally, in Stern's script, two of the four teams should not have appeared on the stage of the division finals.

Basketball fans all over the world know that teams like the Spurs and Pistons are the least likable to Stern. No matter what type of team they play against, they put defense at the forefront of their game almost from the first second, and consistency is always the ultimate goal.

Watching this kind of team play is an ordeal even for their fans, because you can never experience the excitement and can only spend every second of the game in a grinding disc positional battle.
