Chapter 571: Now the Playoffs Are Popular!

The playoffs of the 1995-1996 season began on April 25.

The first eight teams to face are the Bulls, who are first in the East, and the Heat, who are eighth in the East.

The Knicks, who are fourth in the East, face the Cavaliers, who are fifth in the East.

The HyperSonics, who are second in the West, take on the Timberwolves, who are seventh in the West, and the Rockets, who are third in the West, take on the Trail Blazers, who are sixth in the West.

In these four matchups, the balance of strength is almost one-sided.

Even the Knicks, who are fourth in the East, and the Cavaliers, who are fifth in the East, are close in the rankings, and the record is the same.

The Knicks had a terrible regular season this year.

That's because of the confusion in the coaching position within the team after Pat Riley's departure.

After the old Nelson got out of class and Jeff Van Gundy led the team, he was slowly back on track.

The Knicks, who are back on track, were the team that reached the Finals two seasons ago.

What a knight can match!

Therefore, these four groups on the first day of the playoffs are not so much to watch.

Perhaps the biggest attraction for the Bulls and the Heat is how Mourning will perform against the Heat and Pat Riley, who have been wanting to get him.

Most media experts predict a 3-0 matchup for this setup.

The biggest attraction of the Knicks and the Cavaliers is when the civilian team led by Cavaliers head coach McPlatro will be able to perform a miracle in the end!

It's a miracle that the Cavaliers were able to finish fifth in the East this season, with the same record as the Knicks.

You know, this team doesn't have a single All-Star this season!

In the playoffs, it's the superstars who play, and the all-stars who play.

Don't look at the Knicks and the Cavaliers' record.

The Knicks have Ewing!

Therefore, most of the predictions of media experts for the big score are 3-0 and 3-1.

And the SuperSonics, who are second in the West, and the Timberwolves, who are seventh in the West, are naturally watching the duel between Garnett and Kemp, two physical-quality men.

However, Garnett leading the Timberwolves to the playoffs is already the limit.

In the face of the supersonics, who have beaten the unbeatable Lakers and Bulls this year, it is difficult to resist.

The prediction of most media experts is still 3-0!

The match between the Rockets and the Trail Blazers is also very different, but there are a lot of highlights.

There's a lot of people looking forward to Drexler's return to Portland.

This is the first day of the playoffs with four sets of matchups.

And the next day, the Magic will face the Magic, who are second in the East, against the Hawks, who are seventh in the East.

The Pacers, who are third in the East, face the Pistons, who are sixth in the East.

and the Rockets, who are first in the West, against the Warriors, who are eighth in the West, and the Jazz, who are fourth in the West, against the Spurs, who are fifth in the West.

Magic and Eagles, the dominance of Magic is overwhelming.

The only thing the Eagles can do is their head coach, Dream Three's head coach Wilkens.

In terms of lineup, the Hawks are more civilian than the Cavaliers.

Wilkens was stunned to take the Hawks to the playoffs.

It's just that the opponent is the magic led by Hardaway and O'Neal!

3 to 0, 3 to 0 in the media experts' predictions!

The Pacers, who are third in the East, and the Pistons, who are sixth in the East, have a lot to see in this group.

The contest between Barkley and Grant Hill, who are extremely popular in the league.

A battle between the league's two new and old goalscorers, Reggie Miller and Alan Houston.

Fans and pundits in the U.S. are looking forward to this matchup.

However, the Pacers still have a huge advantage, with most predictions for the Pacers to win 3-0 or 3-1.

As for the last two contests in the West.

The Lakers are first in the West and the Warriors are eighth in the West.

The advantage of the Lakers is so great that many media and experts predict this round of matchups, and they don't even bother to explain, all of them are 3-0.

As for why it's 3-0, it needs to be explained?

In the first round of this year's playoffs, there are eight groups of matchups, and the strength of the seven groups is very different.

This is also normal.

The first round was supposed to be a seeded team playing an unseeded team.

Of the eight matchups, perhaps only the Jazz, who are fourth in the West, and the Spurs, who are fifth in the West, are the most intense and close in strength.

So, media experts have predictions for the Jazz and Spurs matchups, everything. It's very interesting.

Why is it interesting?

The two teams have met a total of four times this season in the regular season, with the Spurs winning both games between the Jazz and the Lakers.

In the two games after the big battle between the Jazz and the Lakers, the Spurs lost all of them, and they lost badly!

The Jazz are definitely arguably the team that has changed the most in the two phases before and after this season.

In the first half of the season, the Jazz looked like they were going to sink completely.

However, in the second half of the season after playing the Lakers, with the outbreak of Malone, the Jazz were able to rank second in the West in the second half of the season.

Fiercer than rockets and hypersonics!

The Rockets had such a big lead in the first half of the season, and in the end they were almost overtaken by the Jazz.

After Malone broke out, coupled with the depth of the team's lineup obtained by the Jazz trading Lin Han.

Although this team is fourth in the West, its actual strength may be above the Rockets or even the Supersonic in the eyes of many people.

Even compared to the Lakers, they didn't lose much.

So, the Jazz and Spurs seem to be close, but how they actually are, many people are not sure.

We won't know until the playoffs actually start.

This year's NBA is just too strong because of the Lakers and Bulls, as well as strong teams such as the Magic, SuperSonics, Rockets and Jazz Pacers.

As a result, the results of other teams are very mediocre.

The strength and weakness are too obvious.

The Lakers and Bulls are both Big Three teams, and even if Rodman is a giant, the Lakers are the Big Four!

Generally speaking, giants are players who have been the boss of NBA teams, so Rodman is not a giant.

And teams such as the Magic, Rockets, Jazz, SuperSonics, Pacers, Jazz, etc., are also more than just All-Stars.

This kind of concentration of star resources has led to the fact that the Cavaliers, who are fifth in the East, and the Hawks, who are seventh in the East, do not even have a decent star.

So, although the first round has not yet started.

But fans are already talking about the second round matchup.

If the first round of this year's playoffs is called the first round with the largest gap between strength and weakness, the first round with the least sense of expectation.

Then this year's second round is definitely the most intense second round in history!

According to media predictions, after the playoffs come to the second round, it will be the Bulls vs. Knicks, two Eastern Conference Finals teams in the last five years.

In the last five years, the East has reached the Finals against the Bulls and Knicks.

The Magic and Pacers match up with O'Neal Hardaway vs. Barkley and Reggie Miller!

On the Western side, the Rockets and the SuperSonics, these two teams have been in love with each other in recent years.

Last season, the Rockets entered the Western Conference finals and eliminated the supersonics.

Now that the Rockets are without Barkley, the SuperSonics are preparing for revenge!

And the Lakers and the Jazz or the Lakers and the Spurs are also full of grievances and highlights.

Especially between the Lakers and the Jazz, the story between Lin Han and Salt Lake City will always make people feel more energetic.

And to achieve such a matchup, the Jazz need to beat the Spurs.

On April 25, 1996, the playoffs began, with the first game going to the Knicks, who were fourth in the East, and the Cavaliers, who were fifth in the East.

As many pundits predicted before the game, although this matchup had the same record and close results, the Cavaliers didn't have any chances.

At the end of the game, the score was 106-83.

The Knicks beat the Cavaliers by 23 points at home, and the Cavaliers also used their overall strength to resist in the first three quarters.

However, in the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers, who lacked superstars, were directly beaten by the Knicks, losing by 20 points in a single quarter, and finally losing miserably!

It can be said that the performance of the two teams in this game is the epitome of the strength of the two teams.

A team without a superstar can bite the score with a whole in regular time.

But once it comes time to win the game, there will be huge problems.

In the second game between the Bulls and the Heat, the point difference in this game is bigger than that of the Knicks and the Cavaliers!

Jordan, who has just completed the development of his three-point skills, is full of desire to attack in this game!

Coupled with the fact that the whole Bulls team wants to make a difference in this year's playoffs, the Bulls came to the court with the purpose of taking the Heat sacrifice flag.

Win as much as you can win against the Heat, that's what the Bulls are going to do in this game.

Facing the team of God operator Pat Riley, the Bulls finally defeated the Heat 133-75.

In a single game, the Bulls beat the Heat by 58 points!

This game even made many people feel that the Heat should not be an NBA team at all.

Instead, it should be a CBA or NCAA team!

The two games that took the lead in the East also showed everyone the gap between a top powerhouse like the Bulls and the average playoff team in the league.

This result also makes people believe what kind of slaughter the first round of this year's playoffs will be!

I don't know if it's in response to everyone's expectations, so the first day of the playoffs is followed by two games.

The SuperSonics defeated Garnett's Timberwolves 97-75 at home.

Garnett made his playoff debut in this game, scoring 21 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 6 turnovers on 7-of-18 shooting.

As a newcomer to the playoffs, such data is good, but the Timberwolves are still too weak relative to the supersonics.

And Garnett also lost control of the team under Kemp's defense, and his stats can't connect the team.

In the final game of the playoffs on the first day, the Rockets played against the Trail Blazers and Drexler played against his old club.

It was a one-sided massacre, and Drexler didn't give his old club any face in Houston.

In the game, the Rockets scored 41 points under the continuous ball-making of other players, leading the team to defeat the Trail Blazers 117-96.

At this point, the first day of the playoffs is over.

Four matchups, each with a score difference of more than 20 points!

And the favored teams all won.

"Brother Lin, congratulations, winning the regular season MVP for the second consecutive year"

"Hahahaha, even if you say so, we won't show mercy in this game, the Bulls won the Heat by 58 points, how can we reach this number, right?"

Hearing Lin Han say this, Wang Zhizhi was a little bitter.

Ringo and the Lakers really have that kind of strength.

And.

Wang Zhizhi looked at Mutombo, and Mutombo looked at the Warriors' leading player Sprewell, and he could almost eat Sprewell alive.

That kind of look that finally catches you will make ordinary people afraid.

As for whether Sprewell will be afraid, Wang Zhizhi doesn't know.

The feud between Mutombo and Sprewell, he is well aware.

All things considered, Sprewell was indeed on the wrong side.

Mutombo wants to take revenge in this series, and it is only right.

The game between the Warriors and the Lakers has no suspense and no meaning for American fans.

But for Celestial Empire fans.

This round of playoff matchups is a real playoff Chinese derby!

Extremely significant!

Especially the bosses of the two teams are Chinese players!

Lin Han is the boss of the Lakers.

In Wang Zhizhi's report in the Celestial Empire, Tim Hardaway's departure is a sign that the Warriors want to make Wang Zhizhi and these young players the boss.

Finally, Wang Zhizhi has been reported as one of the Warriors' three young youngsters.

The Warriors have three young, the big one is Sprewell, the second is Jerry Starkerhouse, and the third is Wang Zhizhi.

Naturally, Wang Zhizhi became one of the bosses of the warriors......

Besides, there is nothing wrong with the Celestial Empire's media reporting like this, Wang Zhizhi is completely qualified.

All-Star starters, dare you say that All-Star starters are not even the third person on a team?

The Lakers are not so extravagant!

Lakers third man Mutombo is an All-Star bench.

In short, the whole of China is staring at this game on this day.

And it's a Saturday in China time, and the game is destined to set a new ratings record in China.

"Lin, I'm going to kill Rattle in this game!"

"No problem, just keep an eye on Lat in this game, Eddie, you defend Latta closely, don't let him shoot, force him to break through, drive him in front of Deacon Bey"

"Boss, I know, this game is to help Deacon Be get revenge, I understand!"

Eddie Jones has been confident in his defense lately by finishing in the All-Defensive Second Team.

Sprewell is strong on his impact, not his shot, and letting Eddie Jones prevent him from shooting and letting him break through is also easy for Eddie Jones.

As for Lin Han, of course, he will personally target the Jerry Starkerhouse who dared to provoke him in the regular season!

Noticing Lin Han's gaze, Starkerhouse, who walked to the court, regretted it a little.

It's just that such regrets are useless!

"I'm afraid something is going to happen in this game between the Lakers and the Warriors!"

After Larry Bird finished speaking, Kevin Langley looked at the score on the sidelines and nodded subconsciously.

At halftime, the score on the sidelines was 74-27!

In the first half, the Lakers only allowed the Warriors to score 27 points!

The Lakers scored 74 points in the first half!

The so-called three young Warriors, the eldest young master Sprewell made 0 of 9 in the half, zero points, and was fanned by Mutombo six times!

The second young Jerry Starkerhouse, 0 of 5 in the half, zero points, was broken 7 times by Lin Hansheng!

Only the three young kings Zhizhi are considered normal.

Mutombo has all his attention on Sprewell, the Lakers' defense is also on Sprewell, and Wang Zhizhi is the only one who leaked out of the Warriors' starters.

At halftime, 14 of the 27 points were scored by the Warriors.

Among them, Wang Zhizhi alone scored 12 points, shooting 5 of 11 and scoring 12 points.

"Larry, what's the lowest halftime score in NBA playoff history? What is the lowest score in the game? What is the maximum point difference? ”

For a while, Larry Bird really didn't know.

However, it doesn't matter if you don't know, it looks like after this game, it's going to change everything?!
