Chapter 133: Black Heart
The Hawks were beaten by the 76ers, and even the Atlanta media were not optimistic that the Hawks could qualify.
"It's too big, they have Allen Iverson, such a starting All-Star caliber superstar in the East, and they also have Pau Gasol, the backup All-Star power forward in the East, and they also have Andre Iguodala, a talented small forward, at least at an All-Star level."
"And they also have Wang Mingming, this new super coach, the best coach of the season!"
The media sour: "But I don't have the Hawks, but they are a bunch of recruits with no playoff experience, and even only Joe Johnson has been selected as an All-Star this season, which means that he has to play the Big Three alone." ”
Those who still believe in the Eagles may be left with the gamblers who bought the Eagles promotion lottery ticket, as well as Wang Mingming.
Wang was full of praise for the Eagles in an interview with the media after tomorrow's game.
"It's a very talented group of young people and I think the Eagles have a lot of potential, they have a bright future, it's really limitless."
At this time, James was sitting in front of the TV watching the game in Cleveland.
I couldn't help but shiver.
…….
The east and west were all launched, and the first battle of the first round was red-eyed.
Among them, the Spurs and Mavericks battle, and the Lakers and Suns battles are all overtime.
Especially the Lakers and Suns, the Lakers won a hard-fought victory over the Suns in double overtime at home, and Kobe Bryant scored 53 points in a rage, breaking his career playoff single-game scoring record.
Bryant scored seven points in the second overtime and hit a crucial three-pointer.
This battle is regarded as a classic, and it once again writes a strong stroke on the record of grievances between the two sides.
The grievances and grievances between the Suns and Lakers in the past few years are really too many to count.
The Rockets lost 87-92 at home to the Jazz, disappointing Chinese fans.
Houston won 4-3 over the Jazz last year and soared to the Western Conference Finals, and for some teams in the West, the first round was tougher than the second.
Maddie's performance in the whole court was not good, and the Rockets, who won 22 consecutive games, still failed to show their strong strength to win the championship, but were embarrassed by a team like the Jazz who had a low probability of winning the championship, but who met who was unlucky.
Houston fans are worried about whether they can win this round of the series, which is very questionable.
However, the Hornets, who are the first in the West, easily won against the Nuggets, and Chris Paul had 35 points and 10 assists in the first game, beating Andre Miller, who was in the same position as him.
In the East, the Celtics beat the Raptors.
The Raptors thought it would be a good thing not to meet the 76ers, but the "Big Three" of the Celtics had an obsession with winning the championship, and in the playoffs, their strength went to the next level, even more powerful than in the regular season.
The Cavaliers won against the Magic, and the Pistons beat the Wizards, who had little defense.
After one round, the teams face G2 matches.
The 76ers continued to beat the Hawks 107-95 to take a 2-0 lead at home.
.......
Atlanta, the Hawks return home.
This is the third game for the Eagles, and if they lose this one, the Eagles will basically lock up the summer fishing spot.
So for Atalanta, it's a fateful, can't lose game.
Wang Ming warned the team members to be careful of the eagle's dying counterattack.
'We're going to have a lot of obstacles and difficulties at home in Atalanta, and the right way to do that is to stay focused, keep our aggressiveness and respond with a tougher attitude.
Before the start of the G3 battle, the media copied the game.
As Wang Mingming said, the Hawks will not give up easily, and this game will bring the 76ers the strongest challenge since the playoffs this year.
The Hawks had no player to replace their existing starters, and in order to defend the 76ers' pick-and-roll offense, Woodson could only make some tactical arrangements verbally, including putting pressure on Allen Iverson with the ball, and resolutely not giving Iverson an easy mid-range shot.
Atlanta's home stadium is home to many local white-collar elites, and at night, they shout frantically and exhale the turbidity that has been held for a day.
But what is surprising is that the 76ers who were ordered by Wang Ming were extremely calm.
The opening high post blocking offense was played in an orderly manner, Pau Gasol hit a baseline jumper, Pau Gasol responded to Iguodala's empty cut, ignored the defensive Zaza Pachulia, and completed a one-handed split!
The 76ers led 14-3 on the road, and the opening advantage was entirely on the 76ers' side.
That's when something happened that made 76ers fans angry.
Zaza Pachulia is the leader of the class of '03, from Georgia, inherited the "excellent" barbaric blood of Turkey, and is ruthless.
Pachulia doesn't know how to block and has very low protection in the paint area, but he is known as a tough guy on defense, the main reason is because he has a wrestler's heart, it's really black, and the defense likes to rush people the most.
He has a lot of malicious fouls on the court, sometimes blown by the referee, and sometimes it may affect other people's careers.
But Pachulia doesn't care, this kind of player who will do anything for the sake of victory is something that some coaches prefer, but is hated by the players.
He is the leader of the league's "black feet", and the more he can't prevent it, the more he will try to get his opponent.
When Pachulia changed the defense of Iguodala, he suddenly got off his black foot, Iguodala focused on the basketball when he shot, and he didn't keep too much attention at his feet, and stepped on the surface of Pachulia's feet, and suddenly his ankle twisted!
He hugged his right ankle and fell to the ground in pain, sweating profusely from his head.
Iverson's head exploded with a "buzz", and as soon as his eyes were red, he was about to go up and beat this Pachulia.
Iverson is only a little more than 1.8 meters tall, and Pachulia is a serious boxer who is more than 2.10 meters tall, but the little man is not afraid, as if he doesn't know what he is afraid of.
The referee saw someone fall to the ground, blew the whistle and stopped the game.
There was an uproar, then silence, followed by a great cacophony of clamour, with the occasional frenzied cheer.
Wang Mingming's heart chuckled, and he walked onto the court in an intersection, and the crowd surrounded Iguodala.
Iguodala was no longer in much pain and stood up, limped and could even walk.
"It's okay, coach, I'm in good health."
Iguodala felt less pain and shook her ankle.
Ordinary people would have to be injured for a few months if they came like this, but the NBA is all cattle, and Iguodala feels that he should not be injured, at most he has a little muscle strain, and he can continue to fight.
Wang Tomorrow disagreed, and immediately reached out to replace Iguodala.
At the same time, a "medical bandage" was placed on Iguodala's body and he began to treat him.
Iguodala was still a little upset, and he wanted to keep playing.
Wang Mingming held his shoulders and said solemnly, word by word,
"Andrei, you have to remember. Your health is more important than this game! ”
