Although Eddie Curry is not as heavy as Yao Ming, he is only one kilogram lighter when he is more than ten centimeters shorter, the tonnage is called a solid, the floor area is also wide, and he can get rid of a big black bear with a strengthened version of mobility and a strengthened version of his weight, O'Neal can't hit it, which is the key to the Bulls being able to take out the Heat team in the first round of the playoffs last year, but many people don't notice this.

Without Eddie Curry this time, although Chandler defends well, it is difficult to defend O'Neal, who wants to defend the peak tail, and as soon as O'Neal's ass sits, Chandler is squeezed away.

O'Neal played very aggressively against the Bulls, playing 36 minutes, shooting 16-of-25 from the field, 8-of-16 from the free-throw line, slashing 40 points and 17 boards, and playing the most brutal playoff performance of the Heat's career, grabbing a full eight offensive rebounds.

Relying on O'Neal's 40+17 and Wade's all-round performance of 26 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists, the Heat slaughtered the Bulls by 23 points 110-87.

The second was the first game of the series between the Spurs and the Jazz.

Two disciplined teams played a game as ugly as the Nets playing the Pistons, the Pistons played the Nets, the score was low enough, and the Spurs played the Jazz even lower! It's completely different from the beautiful and ferocious offense played by teams such as the Lakers, Mavericks, and Heat.

69-61, the Spurs won their first home court.

69 to 61, although it is a playoffs, this score is also one of the lowest scores in the playoffs in the past 30 years.

With the opening games of the eight series of the playoffs all broadcast live across the United States, Time Warner, who broadcast the game, felt like a takeaway......

The Suns played the Clippers game, which was quite good-looking, neither team could prevent anyone, 117-109, the Suns relied on Nash to score 6 points in a row at a critical moment, locked the win, and won the first win.

The most intense game, not the game where the Spurs only scored 69 points, nor the game between the Suns and the Clippers, although the Spurs only won by 8 points, but the whole process was crushed, but Popovich used the characteristics of the Jazz team to press the rhythm to the extreme, in order not to let the Jazz team play a good block and dismantle cooperation, only to play like that, after all, Duncan almost abused the super interior line, only Malone who played the block and dismantle did not win, Duncan and Malone played twice in the playoffs, both times Malone won, Popovich is very jealous, So no matter how ugly the game is, it just doesn't let the Jazz block and dismantle can play.

The most intense game was the first game of the series between the Cavaliers and the 76ers.

Iverson and James vs. Biao!

James is very powerful, the playoffs are better than the regular season, with 36 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in a single game, one point short of tying Liu Mang's record of 37 points in his playoff debut.

Iverson got 30 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists, but Weber couldn't prevent Big Z's mid-range shot, and Big Z scored 26 points.

James' burst was so great that Iverson tried his best and couldn't win on the road.

James won his first career playoff win and led the team to a 101-97 victory over the 76ers.

……

……

"What's wrong Dinah, I'm still angry, don't be angry, we're going to win the series." Liu Mang pinched Little Lori's face and said.

Little Lori was pinched so much that she still muttered angrily: "Dinah is going to sweep!" Dinah wants 4 to 0! But uncle, you messed up, you lost! The Pacers lost all the fights, and Dinah's face was lost by the uncle! ”

"Yes, yes, okay, get in the car, and go back to pick up your mom and them." Liu Mang's pressure in the past two days is really not small.

On the other side of the court, they all boasted that they might win all the playoffs and break their own record of 16 wins and 1 loss.

Yes, he lost the first game of the playoffs.

Although there are people who think the Eagles will lose the first round, except for those who are too whimsical, there are basically none.

But in the eyes of some fans, the Eagles' three-game winning streak cast a shadow.

Even the Pacers can lose, what else is there that they dare not think about?

The first game of all series in the first round of the playoffs is over, and the two sides of the seven series have played their own characteristics, and the scorching game is also the better side to win.

Only the Eagles have become the object of ridicule in the past two days, and even other series do not care, physical newspapers, TV stations, online forums, online news...... is still frying the Pacers' first upset.

The 39-win team beat the 73-win team, and no matter what happens next in this series, this one game alone is enough for Pacers fans to talk about for ten years!

It was the first time in five years that a team had beaten the Eagles in the first game of the series!

The Eagles, on their side, took a break on the morning of the 22nd and began to prepare for the game in the afternoon.

The coaching staff is still very calm and doesn't play Pat Riley's behavior of losing a game and practicing to the death.

In the 1989 Finals, the Lakers, who had won two consecutive championships, went 11-0 in the Western Conference playoffs, which felt as exaggerated as the Lakers in 2001, but after losing the first game in the Finals, Pat Riley began his devil training again, and directly put Abdul-Jabbar, who was 42 years old but was still selected as an All-Star substitute in the regular season and played 74 playoff games in the regular season, retired due to injury after practicing the Finals, and the Magic in the Finals had an excellent performance of 18 points, 6 boards and 12 assists in the first game, but suffered an injury later, Coupled with fatigue, the Lakers still had the strength to fight back in the first game, and the last three were routed and swept 4-0 by the Pistons.

Taking the ancient as a mirror can know the rise and fall, and taking people as a mirror can see the gains and losses.

With the experience of that Lakers team, there is the connivance of the Zen master to O'Neal.

The Eagles have the example of Pat Riley's previous experience and the success of the Zen master's correct approach, Coach Kruger was angry when he lost the game on the night of the 21st, but the training on the 22nd did not break the previous plan, just two training sessions, a total of 90 minutes, counting the break and tactical discussions in between, on the afternoon of the 22nd, he only trained for two hours, and the rest of the time was for the players to rest and watch the video of the first game to mobilize the enthusiasm of the players.

On April 23, the Hawks, who had been holding back for a day and two nights, finally ushered in the second game of the series with the Pacers.

In the afternoon, after Liu Mang picked up the little Lori who had been puffing up since losing the game the night before, he came to the stadium, and Levia had already brought Liu Mang's family to the Phillips Arena.

Liu Mang and his teammates warmed up before the game, and at 7:10 p.m., the Hawks and Pacers players entered the game arena at Phillips Arena, and the second game of the series was about to begin.

……

Feeling the fighting spirit of the Pacers, Liu Mang's fighting spirit also burned.

Winning the first game, although the Pacers players themselves think it is unlikely, but what if, what if they win again.

The Pacers are in a state of unity not seen in two years.

We'll talk about it later, but now they're united and want to do something big!

Artest is actively mobilizing his teammates and wants to twist them into a rope!

On the Hawks' side, the Eagles players have faced ridicule on the Internet in the past two days; It was stressful to see the TV news and newspapers constantly talking about their loss to the Pacers.

Although they are very confident in themselves, public opinion is a knife that can kill, and the players of the Eagles are now holding back their strength!

By 7:27 a.m., the lights had dimmed, and Rashid Wallace's face appeared on the big screen above the pitch, his expression even more hideous than usual.

The scene was immediately detonated, and the mood of the Eagles home fans today was even more irritable.

If they lose the first game, they lose, and they themselves are making fun of their own team.

But in the second game, the Eagles, from the players to the fans, couldn't afford to lose!

Don't look at the Eagles fans with an optimistic attitude in the face of other teams' ridicule and self-comfort with ridicule.

But deep down, the Hawks fans were angry, and now seeing the Pacers again, the anger of the Hawks fans was detonated all at once.

Liu Mang felt the seriousness of his teammates and the irritability of the fans at the scene, and he was also very excited, and he actually lost the first game...... Most people, in fact, have a masochistic tendency, and they always want to experience things that they have not experienced.

Now this little excitement after losing the first game permeates Liu Mang's heart.

He's going to get revenge!

Just, for the 39-win Pacers...... The system did not give a task, and Liu Mang did not ask.

This is a double "damage" for Liu Mang, the unbeaten record in the first game of the series was broken, and the system did not give a task to comfort him, all to blame on the Pacers! Blame Pan Dafu!

After Rashid Wallace's roar ended, Artest, who had just stepped onto the court to do something big, felt the evil gaze from Liu Mang.

Artest glared back without hesitation.

Liu Mang and Artest looked at each other for two seconds, they were evenly matched, and they rarely met their opponents, the two felt that the other party was very strong, and then they each came to their own positions, waiting for the jump ball.

On the Hawks' side, Liu Mang, Maddy, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown started the game.

The Pacers, for their part, made changes today, with Tinsley, Anthony Johnson, Artest, Jermaine O'Neal, and Foster coming on in the starting lineup.

Stephen Jackson met Liu Mang played very poorly on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and Maddie actually didn't defend well, purely by Maddie himself, so Coach Carlisle put Stephen Jackson on the bench and sent Anthony Johnson, a 32-year-old veteran with excellent defense, to play the starting point guard, but he couldn't shoot anyway, and it was better to have a fierce hitter-type defensive player.

Stephen Jackson doesn't look at the negative news off the court, and there is a glorious history of fighting with fans and winning a one-on-six fight, but in the face of Liu Mang, he is like a weak chicken every time.

At half past eight in the evening, the referee came to the field with the ball, and the game began!
