It's just that this courage didn't make them last until the end, and when Lamar blew the horn of the Knicks' total offense with three consecutive three-pointers at the beginning of the third quarter, Orlando still chose to clamp his tail and be a man.

In the fourth quarter, the Orlando Magic had only McGrady still fighting. In fact, Maddie also knows very well that no matter how hard he tries, he can't change the fate of his team being eliminated from the playoffs.

It's just that Maddie doesn't want to lose so ugly in her playoff debut, although there is no difference in nature between being swept 4:0 and being kicked out 4:1, at least when it is put on the table, it looks a little better.

It's like when Maddy was with the Raptors, it was also the first time in his career that he broke into the playoffs with his cousin Vince Carter, and when they encountered the Philadelphia 76ers who were in full swing at the time, although they lost in the end, at least Vince led them to win back a game.

It's just that Lamar doesn't want to give Maddie such a chance. Lamar knows the truth that cutting the grass does not eradicate the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows again! He will not show mercy to Tracy because McGrady used to be loved by Chinese fans, on the contrary, he has done it more desperately, and he has done it more ruthlessly!

When the Knicks cornered the Orlando Magic 3-0, the Utah Jazz, who were considered to be old, were surprisingly strong in the rest of the playoffs, and they actually beat the strong Dallas Mavericks to 3-0.

At the beginning of the season, the Dallas Mavericks, who were shouting that they were going to be strong in the West, were completely stupid!

The mouth of the big-mouthed Kuban was also full of bitterness, and he closed his big mouth like a dung pit. He didn't understand why the Mavericks, who were not inferior to the Utah Jazz in all positions, and were a lot stronger in some positions, would not be able to handle even a pension camp like the Utah Jazz that was about to start rebuilding.

At this time, Cuban could no longer say anything to provoke his opponent, and all he could do was to pick up people's teeth and wisdom in a seemingly tragic manner: "Dallas will never give up!"

It's a pity that the Dallas people are not the Rockets of the year, and the old Nelson is not the Tomjanovic who really had the heart of the championship back then, and they don't have talented players like Olajuwon and Drexler in their lineup.

Counting on a no tracked Nowitzki and no boss Michael Finley, how far can they go in their playoff journey?

In the West, there are many people like the Dallas Mavericks who have been cornered.

The San Antonio Spurs still continued their stable form, and the New Orleans Hornets, a new force led by young leader Baron Davis, obviously lacked a little experience in front of the old Spurs.

3:0, one foot of the Hornets is already away from the playoffs, but for young Barron Davis, he still has a long way to go, and the future is still bright.

Similarly, the Sacramento Kings are heading into the playoffs amid internal strife, and their journey will certainly not be smooth.

In front of the Minnesota Timberwolves, who have a three-headed monster, Sacramento, who has lost the king, can only vent his dissatisfaction with unyielding eyes in addition to relying on Pejastojakovic's outside shots again and again.

Without Chris Webber, the Sacramento Kings simply can't play the power of Princeton's tactics with Divac or Brad Miller. Naturally, they were powerless to stop the fate of the team being swept, the same 3:0.

The Timberwolves finally got their wish, or the Wolves King Garnett finally got his wish and saw the light of day for the first time to break into the second round of the playoffs!

This is true in the west, and it is the same in the east.

The Knicks led the Orlando Magic 3-0, and Lamar's pre-game declaration of sweeping opponents was almost realized.

In addition, the New Jersey Nets lead the Washington Wizards 3-0, and the Detroit Pistons lead the Atlanta Hawks 3-0.

The Sweep! The alliance was already filled with such voices at this time.

From the competition for hegemony a few years ago to the current hoarding of stars, the Warring States era that has gradually evolved, the NBA is destined to enter a new era.

Two days later, in the first game, the New York Knicks defeated the unwarlike Orlando Magic 113-71 on the road, truly fulfilling the pre-game sweeping declaration.

In the final game, the Magic, who had completely given up struggling, lost a disgraced defeat at their home arena, Amway Arena.

Before the half-time was over, they had already given up the game. Whether it is McGrady or Grant Hill, it can be said that the main players of the Magic even played half the game before the head coach of the Magic team, John Davis, pressed him to the bench.

Lamar played only 23 minutes in this game, and after a quasi-double-double of 15 points and eight assists, he also sat on the bench and watched Billups and Houston lead a group of bench players to tear the last fig leaf on the Magic.

The day after the Knicks knocked the Magic out of the playoffs, the Knicks' main rivals in the East, the New Jersey Nets, defeated the Washington Wizards under Jason Kidd.

In the duel between Kenyon Martin and Kwame Brown, Kenyon Martin, who was stronger in the end, had the last laugh. Although Kwame Brown has completely confirmed his parallel strength in four games, the overall strength of the Wizards is much worse, so the Wizards reluctantly went home after the first round of the playoffs.

In addition, the Detroit Pistons also played a rare big score on the road. Won 109-96 over the Atlanta Hawks.

The Eagles' interior barrier, the African mountain Mutembo, is obviously old, and obviously can't stop the Pistons from the inside line of the Wallace brothers, not to mention that the Wallace brothers have the other three tigers around them.

Perhaps after the end of the season, what awaits Atlantans will be a new round of rebuilds.

At the same time, after this game, the general manager of the Eagles officially announced his resignation.

Of the four matchups, three have already been decided. The only game that hasn't ended yet is the Indiana Pacers, who are fourth in the East, and the Philadelphia 76ers, who are fifth in the East, and the war between them can be said to be truly evenly matched.

The two sides are currently 2-2 in the four games that have ended, with two wins on their home turf.

Next, the two sides will move to Indiana for the fifth match. Judging from the current form, the Pacers, who have one more home court, occupy a little bit of the initiative in comparison.

This situation made the Indians very excited.

In the West, the Utah Jazz finally eliminated the Dallas Mavericks, led by Nowitzki, with a total score of 4:1 after five hard-fought games.

Stockton is old and strong, and Carl Malone is old and strong. The Utah Twins, who dominated the league back then, are still one of the best inside and outside combinations in the league.

Although at the previous NBA awards ceremony, Stockton inexplicably lost to Jason Kidd, Gary Payton, Chauncey Billups and others, and missed the regular season best team. But when it comes to the playing field, the old guy's power has not diminished at all, and the galloping breakthroughs, weird and tricky passes, and precise guided projection capabilities have made people realize that the old guy is far from saying goodbye.

And the Dallas Mavericks, who lost, once again broke out internally. Old Nelson, who could no longer stand Mark Cuban's indiscriminate command, resigned in anger!

And Michael Finley, who was inexplicably taken by Mark Cuban, took the boss position, and at the post-game press conference, he bombarded the Mavericks' management for a vegetarian meal.

He claims that if Mark Cuban still can't make his own commitments this summer, he will jump out of his contract early and become a free agent and start a new journey elsewhere.

It can be seen that Finley's patience has reached the limit, in the game against the Utah Jazz, if he is still the boss of the team, he will definitely not be a soft egg like Nowitzki, and he will definitely be full of old punches in the face of Karl Malone's big elbow!

A softie like Nowitzki, in Finley's opinion, simply doesn't deserve to replace himself as the team's boss!

If the team had continued to structure their tactics around themselves as they had done before, maybe the outcome of the game would have been different. It's a pity that he can't do it, old Nelson can't do it, the team is all an idiot like Mark Cuban who has the final say! All Finley can do is to run and run as always, until he collapses after exhausting all the energy of his body, and watches the opponent take away the victory.

At 4:1, the match between the San Antonio Spurs and the New Orleans Hornets was also over.

The new queen bee Baron Davis has somewhat saved a touch of face for himself, averaging 33 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game in five games. The bearded man has obviously done well enough, but while his stats are gorgeous, their luck is not so good.

The spurs were as consistent as ever in the game. In addition to the fourth game, outside defensive titan Bruce Bowen was sent off for a malicious foul, allowing the Hornets to seize the opportunity to get a victory.

The Spurs have always suppressed their opponents in this series, and they also carried out the unhurried strategy arranged by Zhuge Vic to the end, and finally won and entered the semifinals.

In another game that fans cared about the most, the Sacramento Kings finally managed to drag the game into a decisive seventh game thanks to the excellent performances of Divac and Mike Bibby.

But the Timberwolves players who are more powerful in their pursuit of victory are obviously a little more resilient than the Kings players, and at the moment of life and death, all the Timberwolves players suddenly burst out with amazing energy in the roar of the Wolf King.

Whether it's Kevin Garnett, the wolf king on the inside, or Sprewell and Cassel on the outside, the three-headed monster all played at an all-star level in Game 7.

On the King's side, it's a different story. At the most critical moment, they not only failed to burst into full potential, but instead appeared to be afraid of gains and losses in the game.
