The series between the Suns and the Clippers went through seven big battles, and finally Nash was better, and Nash scored 45 points in the tie-break to help the Suns beat the Clippers 113-109 and enter the second round.

The Suns fought seven games in this series, with a day off, and the second round of the series will start on May 7, the Zen master snickered behind his back, the brothers in the same city are good, the Clippers gave them a big assist.

On May 6th, the Hawks' long-awaited seven-game battle between the Cavaliers and the 76ers finally came.

In the end, the Cavaliers, who still had the home court advantage, took the initiative after returning to the home court, and Larry Hughes finally successfully defended Iverson in the series, limiting Iverson to only 10 of 33 shots and only 29 points and 5 assists, while James scored 33 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists steadily, helping the Cavaliers defeat the 76ers 92-80 in the tiebreaker and advance to the second round.

Finally, all the matches in the first round were played, and the matchups for the second round came out.

The Suns and Lakers, Heat and Nets, the two-round series kicks off on May 7; The Spurs and Mavericks, Hawks and Cavaliers start the series on May 8.

The Hawks coaching staff called their players and told them to report at 9 a.m. on May 7 to begin training with the Cavaliers.

For the Hawks, it was not a waste to wait for five days, the players' technical training and regular tactical training have been maintained, and the Cavaliers have to rush from Cleveland on the 7th, and the preparation time is not as much as that of the Hawks.

Although the Cavaliers knew that the opponent in the second round was the Hawks before they had yet to advance, and they were more prepared in terms of tactical preparation time, they also couldn't have much time to prepare for the second round of tactics, and they didn't know that they would definitely advance before they finished the tiebreaker, although the Cavaliers and the 76ers were certainly confident of advancing, but they certainly didn't prepare much.

Overall, the Eagles' preparation time is still more advantageous, after all, five days, the coaching staff can change teams to prepare tactics in one day.

Coupled with the strength of the team, the coaching staff did not panic at all

……

……

Seeing that Iverson was eliminated in the first round, Liu Mang had some regrets.

James, Iverson, two stars, Liu Mang wants to be able to play against them.

It's a pity that you can only choose one or the other......

After Liu Mang received a call from Stockton, he watched Iverson and James hugging and chatting for a long time on the TV screen, feeling weird, and the two of them still had a relationship?

Iverson averaged 31 points, 3 boards, 10 assists and 3.3 steals per game in the series, James averaged 30.7 points, 7.7 boards and 7.6 assists per game, which is considered to be equal, Iverson has a slight advantage overall, but James has a relatively better helper, Larry Hughes and Big Z, Iverson's teammates are a little worse than these two, Webb was shot by Big Z.

Iverson has a strange personality, but James has a good temper, not like after the 01 Finals, Kobe and Iverson didn't say a word, and the two still felt a little sorry for each other after the game.

Liu Mang had a little regret about not being able to play against Iverson again, but he was still very excited about playing against James in the playoffs.

"Reckless, you can't be careless in the second round, James is not good at technique, you should be able to beat him easily." Liu Mang's father looks like I know how to play ball.

"Yes, yes, yes." Of course, Liu Mang knows that he can't be careless.

You can be careless when you hit anyone, but when you beat James and Wade, Liu Mang will definitely not be careless.

It's just these two leaders of the 03 generation, defeat them, and the second talent skill can be opened!

The second round of the series is finally coming, and it's a series with James, who has been looking forward to it for three years!

……

On May 7, the Eagles began intensive preparations at home, and with the alarm bells of the first game of the first round, the Eagles players were not so relaxed this time.

Moreover, the opponent is James......

After two morning practice sessions for the Cavaliers and a team meeting after practice to discuss complementary tactics, the Hawks came together for a break after lunch.

"Ace, LeBron played so well in the first round, the stats are much better than yours, how are we going to play with him?" Jason Terry asked.

"Play, play, you know to play, on the 21st, we were abused and don't know how to be vigilant?" Liu Mang retorted.

"Ace, what is your drawing on the board?" Jason Terry asked, pointing to the tactical board in Liu Mang's hand.

"The tactics I discussed with Mike against LeBron, tomorrow morning we are practicing this in defensive training, and Mike and I have been discussing it for several days."

"Let me see, what kind of tactic is this! You still say you don't want to play? ”

"No, no, no, I really don't want to play, I just want to kill him......"

……

James arrived at the Phillips Arena parking lot, sneezed in the Appalachian mountain breeze.

"Atlanta is a good place, it's just that it's too humid." James said to his replacement, Newbell.

"It's easy to get cold here, but the humid weather is good for your skin." Newbell cares a lot about her appearance.

"Ila, you're right, I like to go to the West Coast or the South Coast in the summer and take care of it." James answered, then spread his arms and enjoyed the damp mountain breeze of the Appalachian Mountains.

"Ira, are you going to get together with Ace?"

"No, I'll go to training."

"Me too, I won't go to the gathering this time, and the knockout match with Ace ......"

James and Newbell walked into the Phillips Arena and into the visiting dressing room in the same way as the normal visiting players and fans.

James and Newbell can get together, that is, the two are 'proficient' in maintenance, but it is difficult to say what the effect of appearance is.

Anyway, Newbell is getting higher and higher in the Cavaliers' hairline.

The Cavaliers finished playing the 76ers at home last night, and they rushed from Cleveland to Atlanta at noon today, and it was already lunchtime.

James and his teammates went to the hotel for a meal and then went to Phillips Arena for training.

Not everyone came, some people needed to rest, and James couldn't take care of it, the team didn't have a training session this afternoon, just played a tie-break, and only had one day off to play the second round of the series.

After a lapse of 13 years, the Cavaliers once again reached the second round of the playoffs, which is undoubtedly an exciting thing for the Cavaliers players, but for the 31-year-old veteran, he played an average of 36 minutes per game in the first round, a full 10 minutes more than the regular season, and needed to rest.

And there are really not many young players on the Cavaliers, and Newbell, who has been away from the Hawks for a few years, has reached the age of 31 and has begun to lose his hair.

However, Newbell saw James next to him who secretly raised the headband by one centimeter, and immediately balanced, they were all hairband men, and Newbell knew what this kind of thing meant.

James arrived at this arena, and there was a bit of a gloomy aura around the championship, but he was used to it, and it wasn't like that when he came here......

……

……

On the evening of May 7, the series between the Lakers and the Suns, and the series between the Heat and the Nets, kicked off the second round of the playoffs.

Both games were broadcast live across the United States, and by the second round of the playoffs, five of the remaining seven teams, except for the Hawks, were likely to face the Hawks next.

So the whole Hawks team stayed at Phillips Arena and watched these two national live broadcasts together, the Lakers and the Heat are the opponents that the Hawks are very likely to encounter next, and maybe even the Lakers and the Heat are the opponents of the Hawks' remaining two-round series.

In the series between the Lakers and the Suns, compared to the confrontation played by the Suns and the Spurs last year, the Lakers and the Suns played a much more ugly game this year, Nash only handed out 7 assists, and the scoring was not as explosive as last year, with only 20 points.

And Dio, who replaced Stoudemire to play the center position, was really miserable in the playoffs, and was averaged more than 30 points per game by Brand in the first round, and met Yao Ming in the second round......

37 points, 8 boards, 5 blocks and 4 assists, Yao Ming burst out in the first game of the second round, he can deduct the ball, one by one, the inside line has not been wrapped, Yao Ming is playing.

Stoudemire reimbursed that the Suns didn't look like a problem in the regular season, but in the playoffs, two consecutive series were blown up by the opponent's super inside.

The Zen master took advantage of the difference in the lineup between the two sides and played D'Antoni unwantedly.

And D'Antoni, obviously has an advantage on the outside, but he just grabbed it to play and run, D'Antoni just won't use it, and Eddie House, James Jones, who played well in the regular season, suddenly didn't need it in the playoffs, and had to take the seven-man rotation of Nash, Laga Bell, Barbosa, Tim Thomas, Jim Jackson, Marion, and Dior to die, and not one more, insisting on playing the seven-man rotation.

95-88, the Lakers limited the Suns to just 88 points and beat the Suns at home.

The Suns had seven players on the court and six players in double figures, and if you scored double-doubles from six players alone, it would look really good.

But in terms of seven scores, the highest was only 20 points, and the second-highest Dior only scored 6 of 23 shots, scoring 14 points, and was eaten to death by the Lakers.

When Liu Mang and Mike Woodson studied the Lakers' defense together, they felt that the most bizarre thing was that the Lakers' defense against the Suns seemed too effective, and D'Antoni was like directing the Suns to take the initiative to get the Lakers to defend it.

is also a "chef" who has won the best coach, Zen master, you give him Jordan and Pippen, and he can make a big dish; Give him Kobe Bryant and O'Neal, and he can make another big dish; Give him Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming, and he can make a big dish again.

But D'Antoni, no matter what ingredients he was given, all he made was hot and sour shredded potatoes...... Everybody likes it, but it can't be played in the playoffs.

However, in the next game between the Nets and the Heat, the technical and tactical duel will be much more interesting.
