The Trail Blazers and Bulls, the two teams with the league's No. 1 and No. 2 records, have qualified for the division semifinals.

The remaining six groups of first-round playoff matchups are not so simple......

Because the first round of the playoffs is currently a five-game system, no team dares to take it lightly, because if you take it lightly, it is not uncommon for someone to be defeated in the first round.

For example, the Pacers and Lakers in the 95-96 season were defeated by their opponents.

For example, the Hornets, SuperSonics and Jazz in the 94-95 season were also defeated......

In the first round of the playoffs in a season, three teams were defeated, and there were a total of eight groups of matchups, including three groups of upsets, which is obviously unimaginable in the playoffs in the future......

This is also why the NBA later began to use the best-of-seven system in the first round of the playoffs in 2003, because the five-game system is too prone to upsets, and many really strong teams may not play well in three games, and they will be killed by weak teams.

And with a seven-game format, the odds of this happening are much lower.

For example, last season, if the first round was a best-of-seven system, it would be very difficult for the Trail Blazers to eliminate the Lakers in the first round......

……

As the only team in the league to sweep their opponents in the first round, the Trail Blazers have now been compared to the Bulls.

Two days later, three more duels were divided!

The New York Knicks in the East directly killed the Pacers led by Larry Bird, stunned the whole league!

No one thought that the Knicks would be able to beat the Pacers with a gorilla Ewing and eliminate the second Pacers in the East with a score of 3-1.

It's unbelievable!

Richard didn't feel any surprises, it was completely expected......

The Knicks are a team that is very eccentric anyway, and often produces some unexpected results.

Maybe when the fans all over the world have high hopes for them, they will just turn off the fire and play a game like shit.

It may also be that when the fans all over the world are not optimistic about them, they can stop the gods......

Under normal history, the Heat, who are third in the East, suffered this loss, and in the playoffs this season, they encountered the Knicks without Ewing, and were eliminated by the Knicks!

The Knicks can be said to be full of power, several players who are called cancers, each of them played a supernatural performance, Alan Houston and Larry Johnson, both of whom scored more than 20+ points, of which Alan Houston's three-point shot reached an astonishing 44%!

In addition, Starks and Coleman, who recently joined New York, also scored 15+ points......

played so superbly, Larry Bird was directly disgusted and wanted to vomit, he didn't play early or late, but he was powerful against their Pacers, and Larry Bird felt that he had no place to reason.

In addition to the results of the Pacers and Knicks in the East, the matchup between the Heat and the Hawks also won with the Heat with a score of 3:1.

The combination of Mourning and Tim Hardaway turned the eagle into a soup chicken......

The only thing that hasn't been decided in the East at the moment is the matchup between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Hornets, and the two teams are now tied 2:2!

The battle between Glen Les and Iverson is unstoppable!

Dazhi also played the role of a killer in this round of the series, saving the 76ers' decline several times and pulling the 76ers back from the danger line.

The two teams are fourth and fifth in the East, and no one knows who will win this series.

The strength of the two sides is about the same, and if you want to win, you can only rely on luck......

……

The Spurs and Suns on the western side also split the winners and losers, and the combination of Kidd and McDyce is obviously not the opponent of the Spurs' twin towers.

McDyce, in particular, was bullied by Duncan in this series......

Big Ben bullied McDyce, which only limited McDyce's scoring, and Duncan could not only limit McDyce's scoring, but also cut a super high score on McDyce!

After four games, Duncan averaged an insane statistic of 28 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks per game.

……

It's already five sets of duels that have divided the results and produced winners!

Another two days passed, and the results of the final three sets of matchups were produced, and the first round of the playoffs was over......

The remaining three sets of matchups also had an upset, but this upset is not so unacceptable.

The Houston Rockets finished the Seattle SuperSonics in five games to advance to the Western Conference semifinals.

In the matchup between the other group of Jazz and the Lakers, the Jazz finally had the best skills and eliminated the Lakers with a score of 3:2......

It is conceivable how uncomfortable O'Neill is now, and he has a feeling that Los Angeles will be his place of doom!

Since coming to Los Angeles, he has been held out on the door of the division semifinals for the second year in a row......

You must know that in the two years before he came to Los Angeles, the worst was to reach the Eastern Conference finals!

It's good now, let alone the divisional finals, I haven't even seen the shadow of the divisional semifinals, is it really so difficult to touch the floor of the Western Finals?!

……

The last group of matchups in the East, G5 life and death, is as thrilling as the matchup between the Trailblazers and the Lakers last season!

With ten seconds left in the final game, the Philadelphia 76ers trailed by two points, and Iverson broke through with the ball!

Looking at Iverson's stance, he may have wanted to drag the game into overtime......

Unexpectedly, in the last three seconds, he distributed the ball to Dazhi on the outside, who scored a three-pointer to kill the game and send the Hornets to go fishing......

No one really thought that even Carlisle would not expect such a situation, because a manager with a calm personality like him is unlikely to arrange such a risky tactic, and the tactic he arranged for Iverson was to play alone and try to drag the game into overtime!

Iverson did accept this tactic, but at the last moment, the Hornets saw through this tactic and ended up using an extremely tight package against Iverson, so Iverson didn't have any room to shoot at all......

Instead of looking at the referee's face and giving the free throw line, Iverson felt that it was better to take a gamble and hand over the ball to Dazhi to solve!

If the bet is right, the Philadelphia 76ers will reach the Eastern Conference semifinals, and if they don't bet right, what can the 76ers lose? After all, they were recognized by the league as a super-belly last season!

Iverson is glad for his role, he made the right bet!

Richard also watched the live broadcast of this game, and there was a cold sweat on his back when he watched it, and he was very worried about Dazhi.

This kind of lore ball, if it is successful, it is a hero!

But if they fail, maybe Iverson and Dazhi will both be under pressure, and maybe some fans will stand up and lash out at them.

Now it seems that these two people are responsible people!

Dazhi naturally earned it this time, and the playoffs were stunted, which is a glorious resume that is enough to follow the player for a lifetime.

And the Philadelphia 76ers also earned it, and Richard can't remember how long the team hasn't reached the Eastern Conference semifinals.

The only pain in the eye is that their opponent in the Eastern Conference semifinals is the Bulls......
