In the first game, the Bobcats won by 19 points, and the process of the game can be said to be very easy, from beginning to end, it was the Bobcats who were leading.

In terms of statistics, Michael Reid scored a game-high 27 points, substitute Williams also scored 19 points, Andre Iguodala, Josh Smith and Tony Kukoc scored in double figures, and the players on the court all scored except Michael Petrus.

It can be said that the Bobcats played a perfect offensive and defensive battle, and both offensive and defensive ends were very perfect.

"The Magic have a good lineup, but their coaching is too bad, Johnny Davis has almost no tactics to speak of, and there are only star singles on the offensive end, either pulling away for Chauncey Billups singles, or pulling away for Grant Hill singles, and this game is quite effective for Dwight Howard singles."

"In the first game of the first round between the Bobcats and the Magic, the Bobcats used a simple and brainless infinite change of defense to prevent the Magic's offense, so to speak, Johnny Davis is at least half responsible for the Magic's loss."

After the game, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this game is obviously the gap between the coaches of the two teams, and Qiao Hai's Bobcat can even reflect Qiao Hai's tactical essence in a small run.

And Johnny Davis's Magic, the whole game was a star single.

The most critical problem is that none of the Magic's stars are superstars in peak condition, Chauncee Billups should be a civilian All-Star, and his strength is not up to superstar, Grant Hill has been seriously injured several times and is already past his prime, and Dwight Howard is still growing up as a rookie in his first year.

Three stars who are only All-Star level at best, all kinds of singles, can play decent offense in the face of Bobcats' mature defensive system, that's weird.

Therefore, Johnny Davis was criticized, and even ESPN believed that after this series, the Magic would have to change coaches.

However, Sports Illustrated blew a wave of Qiao Hai from another angle: "Who else in the NBA can not fall behind Qiao Hai?" Johnny Davis was suppressed by Joe Hai just normal operation, and our peers were as if they hadn't seen Qiao Hai's balls! ”

……

Then, in Game 2 of the series, the Magic made no major changes, making only a few minor fixes, such as adding the connection between Billups and Grant Hill.

Even in terms of tactics, Johnny Davis consciously mimicked the Bobcats' style of play, singled on the strong side of Billups, then moved to the weak side, and then singled Grant Hill.

The Magic's offense is slightly better.

But in this game, they still couldn't prevent the Bobcats' offense, especially at critical moments, the Bobcats relied on a mature passing and cutting system to score again and again, but the Magic was lost at the critical moments, because Joe Hai had Kendrick Perkins Plus's small lineup, which instantly increased the defensive intensity.

The game was played to the end, and the Bobcats defeated the Magic by 110-103, a difference of 7 points, to take the second victory of the series.

After this game, the criticism of Johnny Davis was a little quieter, but some NBA commentators still believed that Johnny Davis lost to Joe Hay again, especially in the last moment of adjustment, Kendrick Perkins with four wings, directly preventing all the Magic's offense.

The Bobcats also won.

……

At the beginning of the third round of the first round, the league began to announce the attribution of certain awards.

The Rookie of the Year was taken away by Dwight Howard, and the Magic held an awards ceremony at home.

In the regular season this season, Dwight Howard averaged 15.0 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game, apparently playing an All-Star level interior statistic.

But in fact, Howard didn't win this trophy by a crushing advantage, and the Hawks' Emeka Okafor had similar stats to him, averaging 15.1 points, 10.9 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game, which can be regarded as a quasi-All-Star statistical performance.

There is also Josh Smith of the Bobcats, who averages 13.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.9 blocks per game.

But in the end, Dwight Howard, who had a better record and statistics, took home the trophy.

Then in the third game, the Magic relied on the home court advantage, coupled with the strong morale that had just won the award, the whole team broke out, and with a score of 91:86, narrowly defeated the Bobcats and pulled back a city.

But in this game, the Bobcats' summary was that the whole team's shooting touch was not excellent, the state was too poor, and the Magic finally won.

Such a summary seems a bit arrogant, but those who have watched the game know that in the opening, the Bobcats did not have many empty opportunities, but they failed to take them.

In the fourth game that followed, it was still the home of the Magic, and the Bobcats easily defeated the Magic with a score of 110:89 and won the match point, which directly proved that the Bobcats' summary was correct.

As soon as the Bobcats regained their form, they immediately exploded and won.

Qiao Hai is also a little helpless, under the passing tactics, although there are many opportunities, but in the face of Dwight Howard's team, the Bobcats can only play outside, which is still very delicious.

However, after winning the fourth game, it was a matter of time before the Bobcats qualified.

The league also announced the attribution of several other awards at this time, and on the Bobcats' side, they soon won the first individual trophy in team history.

As the team's general manager, Kevin Richard lifted the trophy for Best Manager.

In his acceptance speech, Kevin Pritchard also said that this trophy should actually belong to Qiao Hai, because almost all of the Bobcats' transfer operations were completed by Qiao Hai.

This also sparked a new round of discussion in the media, whether the best manager should break the routine and give it to the person who really deserves the award, such as this time, Kevin Pritchard is more like Qiao Hai's secretary, but it turned out to be Qiao Hai's secretary who won the award, which is too ironic.

Bobby Simmons of the Clippers took the Most Improved Player trophy, averaging 16.4 points per game, 4.7 to 5.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.8 steals from 7.8 last season.

But in Qiao Hai's view, the Clippers who did not enter the playoffs, Bobby Simmons's data is more like brushing.

The Sixth Man of the Year was won by Ben Gordon, who averaged 15.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game this season without a single start.

Josh Smith also had a chance to compete, but he started about ten more games than Ben Gordon, which turned into a huge disadvantage.

Ben Gordon, by contrast, is a much more pure sixth man.

The best coach was won by Stan Love, who led the team to a 62-win record in his first season in charge, ranking first in the league.

But some people believe that last season's Rockets were 65 wins, and Stamrefour led the Rockets to 3 fewer wins, and the trophy for the best coach should be awarded to Qiao Hai, who led the team to 54 wins from scratch in the East.
