Chapter 166: The First Round of Insipidity
The beginning is the end! This sentence is very appropriate for the Los Angeles Clippers in this series, even if the third game is held at the home of the Portland Trail Blazers, the Portland Trail Blazers, who have been beaten without confidence, have not improved, and the Los Angeles Clippers did not make much effort, they won the third game cleanly, and completed the sweep in the first round of the playoffs, but the Portland Trail Blazers ended all the games this season and went into vacation.

The first round of the East: Miami Heat 0:3 Charlotte Hornets, the Miami Heat lacked stamina, and the absence of strong center Alonzo Mourning put them in a weak position in the confrontation on the inside, which was not an upset, but Coach Pakleli was once again blacked out by the sixth after being blackened eight, and the New York media, which had a deep hatred for him, seized the opportunity to lash out at him, mocking the Miami Heat as one of the only two teams that were swept in the first round.
However, when the New York media laughed at Pakleli, they never thought that bad luck would soon befall New York, New York Knicks 2:3 Toronto Raptors, after five hard battles, the New York Knicks, an NBA giant, were also eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, the war between Alan Houston and Vince Carter, and finally ended with Vince Carter and his Toronto Raptors having the last laugh, and Vince Carter also entered the second round of the playoffs for the first time.

Milwaukee Bucks vs Charlotte Hornets, the gap between the two teams is not big, although the Milwaukee Bucks' three guns are sharp, they need too much feel and game status, a bit of a nerve knife, but the Charlotte Hornets are more balanced and have stronger defensive capabilities, if the Charlotte Hornets can defensively limit the Milwaukee Bucks, it is not that there is no chance to win, as long as you don't let the three guns go crazy, everything is possible.
