525. A man who is extremely calm
The Eagles game is about to begin, and the first two games are finally over.
In today's first game, the Nets defeated the Celtics 81-65, this score is simply miserable, except for Pierce who scored 36 points, the Celtics actually did not have a second player to score a double-double, and the defense was simply terrifying!
Then the second game of the king playing Jazz, it was completely like basketball in another world, 106-100, no one on either team could prevent anyone, the old double combination broke out with amazing power, Malone got 29 points, 19 boards and 5 assists, Stockton 9 points and 15 assists, but the Kings were too fierce Seven people scored double-doubles, Webb rebounded and was robbed by Malone, but there were 35 points, 10 assists and 5 rebounds of the alternative 30+10+5 data, Bibby was powerful at the last moment, Bibby, who was made 1-of-6 and had 5 fouls by Stockton Sr. in the first three quarters, made a lethal three-pointer in the final moments, scoring only 8 points in the game, only making one three-pointer, but it was the most crucial three-pointer.
This situation is very different from yesterday, where the east and west seem to be reversed.
The Pacers lived up to expectations, and the home court was completely unable to defend against Payton's Bucks, and was defeated by the Bucks, and the Bucks took home court advantage 109-100.
The Bucks and Pacers at least tried to defend, but they really couldn't defend it, and the 76ers and Hornets didn't defend it directly, just who was more iron, and finally the 76ers defeated the Hornets 102-97 and defended their first home court.
And the West is a defensive battle, the Spurs offense is really not good, but the defense is strong, Yao Ming felt the malice from San Antonio, received five blocks from Duncan, and only got 9 points and 5 boards in the playoff debut, and Duncan chiseled out a 35+18 points strong performance, leading the Spurs to rely on defense, 89-79 to beat the Rockets to get a good start.
The series between the Mavericks and the Trail Blazers, came up and slammed the defense, Pippen probably felt that he was not far from retirement, and he tried his best to defend to the death, Rasheed Wallace was driven, defending Novitzki's type of power forward, Rasheed Wallace was very good at it, and the opening almost locked up the Mavericks' offense, and the Mavericks couldn't score offensively, and they were angry, and the Trail Blazers defended stubbornly.
In the end, the Mavericks struggled to hold on to their first home court, beating the Trail Blazers 91-86 to get their first win.
The first game of each series is mostly a game that sets the tone of the game, and the tone of the first six series has already been set, showing nothing but their own team's strategy and the strategy that has been forced to change.
The opening game of the seventh series is about to begin, the series opener between the Hawks and Pistons.
……
……
The topic of Black Eight has always been talked about, and the ratings have become the highest round series in the first round of the playoffs, and everyone wants to see what kind of tone the Hawks will set for the game by entering the playoffs as eighth.
The Pistons offended a lot of teams that year, and all the fans were looking forward to seeing the Hawks kill the Pistons again, except for the Pistons fans, they saw the almost one-sided Hawks fans on the Internet, and they were angry, and after the Hawks entered, boos resounded through the Auburn Hills Palace.
In the past two years, the Pistons and the Hawks have come to an end, first they fought here, and then the Hawks swept the Pistons in the second round of the playoffs last season, and Ratliff also stole Ben Wallace's best defensive player, and this year's Pistons got the first place in the East, but everyone pointed out that they were blackened, not only the Pistons fans were angry, but the Pistons players were also angry.
Liu Mang and his teammates were not afraid of these boos at all, focusing on warming up before the game, waiting for the game between the Kings and the Jazz to end.
Well, the opening game, all eight games in two days will be live, so you have to wait until the last game is over, and the next game will not start, so you really have to wait.
Finally, after the Kings beat the Jazz at home, the Hawks' opener was about to begin.
The Eagles fielded a starting combination of Liu Mang, Prince, Rahim, Mohammed and Ratliff, unchanged from the Hawks' lineup at the end of the season.
The Pistons, for their part, fielded a combination of Billups, Hamilton, Michael Curry, Clifford Robinson, and Ben Wallace.
Liu Mang moved his neck and shoulders, came to the technical table to smear some magnesium powder, and after doing the opening moves with Boozer, he stepped onto the court.
Playing the playoffs as a starter for the first time, Liu Mang is now very excited, following his teammates to the court and preparing to jump the ball.
After whistling across the technical table to excite the crowd, Ratliff came to the center of the pitch and stood in the centre of the pitch with Ben Wallace.
Liu Mang stood behind the left side of Ratliff, the whole person was eager to try, when the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, and the ball was still in the sky, Liu Mang jumped out of the front......
Ben Wallace beat Ratliff on the jump ball without suspense, Ben Wallace's explosive bounce speed and Ratliff jumped at the same time, but he was the first to touch the ball and will go to the back.
Billups judged the landing point, ready to catch the falling ball, for Ben Wallace's jump ball, he is quite confident, this year the Pistons in the 70 games Ben Wallace played, the jump ball won the probability is extremely high, especially when the center like Ratliffe is the opponent, the Pistons jump ball basically wins!
Just as Billups was ready to receive the ball early, and the ball was unexpectedly pulled back by Ben Wallace, Billups was in position to receive the ball, when there was an exclamation from the audience.
Billups is a calm man, maybe purely from the perspective of scoring, defense, assists, etc., the league has more powerful point guards than him, but his biggest characteristic is calmness and cold-bloodedness, thinking that these fans are too slow to react, Ben Wallace jumped to win isn't it obvious, the other side is a team that rarely wins jump balls, it's really a fuss...... Ouch I'm going to ......
Billups was just about to catch the falling ball when a blue-black figure jumped up in front of him, leaning on his arms and large claws, snatching the ball away when Billups had just touched it, and brushed it past him.
Before Billups could react to what was happening, a dunk sound of "bang" reached Billups' ears.
Billups looked back and saw that Liu Mang was still pressing his left hand on the basket, and the ball fell from the basket.
Liu Mang started with a steal and a fast-break left-handed dunk!
When dealing with Iverson, Nash, Parker and others, the speed of 94 to 92 may have a big impact, but when playing Billups, who has a speed evaluation of only 88, I'm sorry, Liu Mang is still the faster one!
Billups still had a word written on his face: I am calm, this is expected...... But the heart has turned upside down.
The guy who has been bullying me since his rookie season is here again!
