Chapter 129: The Soldiers and Horses Have Not Moved, and the Saliva Fights First (Fourth Update)

"Joe Johnson is not a big talker, and if he says that, it means that he is really scared."

Iguodala was the first to be dissatisfied when he heard that no one could stop him, and he said in an interview with the media that Joe Johnson and the other Hawks players were still empty.

Then the Hawks players jumped out in displeasure, with famous players like Josh Smith and Marvin Williams slamming Iguodala and the rest of the 76ers.

"The 76ers have average talent, I think they are like selling the first place, and it's actually not difficult to win!"

"The Mavericks also broke a bunch of records such as team history records last year, but they were commissioned in the playoffs, in fact, to tell you a secret, the 76ers are the Eastern version of the Mavericks!"

The war of words rose in vain, and before the first battle began, the entire game was rendered.

The official smoke began to fill, and the scope of the war of words gradually expanded, except for the 76ers and the Hawks, the west was also in chaos.

In the West, the No. 1 record this year is the New Orleans Hornets.

The Hornets are 56-26, winning 17 more games than last season, and are known as the other team that has risen sharply in addition to the 76ers.

The San Antonio Spurs also have 56 wins, but because of their low wins against the Hornets, they are behind the Hornets and second in the West.

Third in the West is the Los Angeles Lakers, and Kobe's Lakers have a 55-27 record, which is actually one less game than the previous two teams.

Fourth is the Utah Jazz with 54 wins.

Subject to division rules, the 55-win Rockets were fifth, and the 55-win Suns were sixth.

After the Mavericks brought in Kidd, their record slipped and they finished seventh in the West with 51 wins, while the Denver Nuggets made the final leg of the playoffs at the last minute, ranking eighth in the West with 50 wins.

50 wins can be in the top four in the east, and in the west kankankan is just in the top eight.

What's more, the East and West face different competitors, if the Nuggets are in the East, play two more games with the teams in the East, and who can't guarantee that they will win two or three more games?

So in the West, the Suns and Lakers, who have new hatred and old hatred together, are fried in an instant.

The two teams have met in the first round of the playoffs for the third year, when the Lakers are seventh, the Suns are second, when the Lakers are sixth, the Suns are third, and now the Lakers are third, and the Suns have fallen to sixth very tacitly.

Not to mention the players, the coaches of both teams are almost red-eyed.

"We have to win, we have to beat the Suns this year!"

If the Lakers lose to the Suns again in the playoffs this year, Kobe Bryant, who has knelt three times in a row, may choose to hang up.

followed by the Jazz and the Rockets, who also met in the first round of the playoffs in a row, although it was only the second year, but in the minds of fans on both sides, the old and new hatred together have become mortal enemies.

The rest of the Spurs vs. Mavericks are a Texas civil war, which can be called a classic bull-horse matchup, but the Hornets, who are the first in the West, don't pay so much attention to it, and against the Nuggets, it is also the first time that the two sides have met in recent years in the playoffs, which is a little bland.

Compared with some crushing games in the east, almost all the games in the west are unpredictable, after all, the first in the west and the eighth in the west are only 6 wins away.

........

All of them are gearing up for the first round of the playoffs.

Although the 76ers have a 67-15 record, they are not the best in team history, and the best record in the history of the 76ers dates back to the Chamberlain era, when he led the 76ers to 68 wins, one more game than the 76ers led by Wang Mingming.

Despite this, the 76ers, who can win the league's No. 1 honor, have detonated the entire Philadelphia ball market, and playoff tickets are hard to buy.

On match day, fans frantically poured into the Wajovia Centre to cheer on the home team.

The shrewd 76ers management has temporarily added seats, but it is still far from enough market demand, and there are many fans who want to watch the game but can't buy tickets, and finally look at the big screen of the live game outside the arena and feel the atmosphere.

In the pre-game warm-up, the two sides shot "swish", and Wang was still discussing tactics with the coaching staff tomorrow.

Although the Eagles' record is a little far from the 76ers, "but they can't be underestimated because of this, there is an old Chinese saying, "the lion fights the rabbit still uses all its strength", if the mind is tired, the action will be constrained, and the distance from failure will not be too far, and the gutter can still capsize! ”

Wang tomorrow sounded the alarm bell for all the staff, and everyone worked hard.

The starters began to enter the stadium, introducing the Eagles players who had come from afar.

Eagles starters: PG: Mike Bibby, SG: Joe Johnson, SF: Josh Smith, PF: Marvin Williams, C: Zaza Pachulia.

Every player was booed from the crowd when they came out, especially Joe Johnson, who came out and received the most "warm" "welcome".

The faces of the Eagles changed, and the huge decibel impact on their eardrums was really violent, and the comer was not good.

When the 76ers came out, they immediately changed to a completely different way, there was no boos, all applause and cheers, giving the home team players the greatest encouragement.

76ers starters: Iverson, Safrosa, Iguodala, Pau Gasol and Durham Porter.

On the sidelines, the fire was shining.

Everything is in place, and the starting station is set on the field.

Wang and Hawks head coach Mike Woodson came to the technical table in the middle, shook hands, and greeted politely.

Woodson knew that the 76ers were strong, but he was unwilling to show weakness, and in the face of Wang Mingming, he issued a challenge with great momentum.

"Coach Wang, our Hawks have been preparing for a season, we have many talented young people, and in today's game, we will go all out to win at your 76ers' home court."

"Oh? Is it! ”

With a smile on his face, Wang Ming accepted Woodson's challenge, and at the same time, he boasted about the strength of the Eagles: "I know that the Eagles are a very powerful team, you are the most potential young guards in the East, I see that you are all strong and hot, you are indeed rare opponents, let us learn from each other and progress together!" ”

Woodson was choked up by Wang Mingming, Wang Mingming's pre-game declaration seemed to be very imposing, but it seemed to be like a ball of cotton, always listening to weird.

Hmph, fake welcome!

Woodson turned to leave, and Wang Ming smiled and waved his hand.

After the two greeted and played, all the staff on the court who should be evacuated were evacuated, and the referee on duty walked to the middle, holding a basketball in his hand.

The technician signals that the machine is ready to be commissioned.

"Toot ~"

At the sound of the whistle, the basketball was thrown straight into the air.

Hellam Potter and Pachulia shouted at the same time, and two dragon-like arms stretched out, spiraling upward, struggling to point into the light,

Slowly spinning basketball .......
