Chapter 141: Re-entry into the East

Howard was aggrieved, listening to the media talk about how he dominated, comparable to "Big Dream" and "Sharks" and other top super centers, but in the end, the Magic still couldn't beat the 76ers.

In the G2 game, the Magic lost the game 95-104.

In the G3 battle, the Magic lost the game 103-110.

In the G4 game, the Magic lost the game 94-97.

entered the second round in high spirits, but as a result, he did not win a single game, and he was not as good as the Eagles in the first round.

The 76ers reached the Eastern Conference Finals first, which was much easier than last year's battle against the Cavaliers.

The combat strength of the east is uneven, and it can be seen that it is average.

In the other semifinals, the Celtics drew 2-2 with the Detroit Pistons, looking like they were going to fight to the end.

The second round is underway, and the final general of the year has also been released.

About the All-Defensive Team and All-Defensive Team.

In terms of honor and identity, if a player can be named the best team, then it means that the player has at least been an All-Star level, and for some players who play defense as a job in the league, winning the best defensive team means getting at least a contract above the middle level.

This year's Defensive Team of the Year, the 76ers' Andre Iguodala was selected.

As soon as he was selected, he was the best defensive team.

Last year's selection, Iguodala was almost selected, and this year's 76ers have such a good record and high exposure, and in my impression, Iguodala's super defense has been a plus.

In addition, the players selected for the first team are Kobe, Garnett, Duncan and Camby.

Bryant and Garnett had the highest scores, tied for 52 points.

The players selected for the All-Defensive Second Team were Bruce Bowen, Chris Paul, Sean Battier, Dwight Howard and Prince.

In addition to Iguodala, Paul and Howard are also new recruits to the All-Defensive Team.

Duncan, on the other hand, was named to the All-Defensive Team for the eleventh time, eight of them in the first team and three in the second team, a feat that has left Pippen behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bobby Jones, as his nickname suggests, and Stone Buddha and his two seniors have also become the players who have been selected for the most selections since the All-Defensive Team selection (the start of the 1968/69 season).

The 76ers are destined to be the most rewarding year, and in the selection of the best team, MVP Iverson was selected for the first team.

All-Star Pau Gasol was named to the second team.

Iverson, Kobe, James, Garnett and Howard, the formation of these five people is talked about by fans, because it seems that this lineup is organized, with attackers, assistant defense gods, and restricted area frame protectors, which is a rare and benign combination.

Nash, Paul, Gasol, Duncan and Yao Ming made up the All-Match Second Team.

Because the selection is based on the selection of guards, forwards and centers, it is easy to have two playmaking guards or two power forwards after the selection.

The fans felt weird, but they also found it funny.

DeLong, Maddy, Pierce, Marion, and Smalls made up the best team of three teams.

There are some players who have performed really well, and the team has a good record and the team has a good record, who was not selected to the All-Star team, such as Boozer of the Jazz.

The Jazz's record is tied with the Rockets, and the Rockets were eliminated 4-3 in the playoffs, but the Rockets' double core, one of the best teams is two, and one is the best team of three, but the Jazz only have three teams, which obviously shows the bias brought by exposure.

After all, the Rockets have a 22-game winning streak in the middle of the season, although they have played average throughout the season, and the honor is overwhelming against their sworn enemies.

But look at it from another angle.

Even the Hornets, Spurs and Lakers, who are the first, second and third in the West, have only one selection.

It can be seen that when selecting the best team, the selection criteria may not all be records, and on the basis of considering the results, data is also very important, and one of the measurement criteria is also unclear.

The Grand Slam of Honor and the Eastern Finals again, the entire 76ers were jubilant, as if they had a holiday.

.......

In mid-May, the 76ers led by Wang Tomorrow had already advanced to the Eastern Conference finals because of a 4-0 sweep.

Unexpectedly, the Pistons and Celtics played in the dark, and the two teams played seven games until the seventh game, when the Celtics narrowly defeated the Pistons 97-92 and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Pistons withdrew from the stage, and Billups and other Pistons Five Tigers of the year were a year older.

The glory of the Motor City is no longer there, since Wang Tomorrow entered the league, saw the Pistons in full swing, and the loneliness after the departure of Big Ben, and now, the Pistons have lost the playoffs for another year, and the rebuilding is close at hand.

The Celtics and 76ers are scheduled to start Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on May 20.

After the Celtics beat the Pistons, they had about two days of rest and buffering, which is also a reasonable rule in the league format.

But even so, many people still feel that it is a bit difficult for players who are slightly older like Celtic.

Before the game, the Boston media took the lead in analyzing a wave of matchups.

Among them, it is believed that Celtic still has an advantage.

Commentators at the Boston Globe believe that the strongest point of the Celtics is still on the flanks.

Ray Allen and Paul Pierce are the scoring points of the Celtics team today, and the strength of the Big Three lies in their ability to work together, while the 76ers lack a wing superstar and cannot survive with Iguodala alone.

From the perspective of starting player alignment, at least the positions of scoring guard, small forward and power forward can have an advantage, although the Celtics are playing away, the chances of winning are not small.

The media in Philadelphia are not convinced, thinking that the report itself is meaningless, the Celtics Big Three is recognized as powerful, scoring guards, small forwards and big forwards have an advantage, from the first round to the present, the last round played the Pistons did not play much advantage, where is it so easy to win against the Philadelphia 76ers.

At this time, ESPN triumphantly turned over what they didn't know when they reported that in the middle of the season, asserting that this year's playoffs Eastern Conference Finals would be a showdown between the Celtics and the 76ers.

In fact, the Philadelphia 76ers and the Boston Celtics belong to the same Atlantic Division.

The distance between the two cities is also very close, only 500 kilometers, even if you drive, it is only more than 5 hours.

With cities so close together, there are more fans who can afford to travel between the two places, and the price of tickets doubles.

On May 20, Celtics fans poured into Philadelphia, and many fans in green jerseys popped up in the Wachovia Center arena.

This is a scene that has not been seen in previous rounds.
