Losing the first battle left Silas helpless, knowing that his only killer weapon was no longer working. Although he was ready to be eliminated by the 76ers, he still planned to win one or two games, which is a matter of face. However, when both Mashburn and Davis were targeted, he knew the first round was over.

Of course, the 76ers still have one person who is sad because of the victory in the game, and that is Iverson. He knows very well that strength is his weakness, but Davis is looking for him, and every time the two face each other, they don't look like guards at all, but more like interior players who fight hand-to-hand under the basket every day. Iverson didn't have the idea of improving his strength, in fact, even if he had this idea, it would be too late, Chang Wei could certainly make a training plan for him, but he thought it would be better for Iverson to continue to maintain the advantage in speed.

So Iverson was the only one to be devastated in the next few fights, and at the end of each match, he could be seen with a slight weakness in both legs, which was a clear sign of physical exertion. McGee and Snow are better, after all, they are mainly dealing with the Hornets' backup guards, and there are not many opportunities to directly face Davis, which makes them look at Iverson with sympathy in their eyes, no way, Davis's weight is too unscientific, if it weren't for this guy's three-point not being very reliable, the 76ers really have no good way to limit him, but despite this, Ballam Porter They also suffered a lot.

But after all, the Hornets still lost the series, and it was a very humiliating 0-3, but in fact, this is nothing, the Black Eight Miracle is very rare in the history of the NBA, most of the divisional first pair of the eighth pair won by a score of 3-0 or 3-1, if the eighth place wins a few more games, then they must be playing pigs and eating tigers in the regular season.

In addition to the 76ers, the second-place Celtics in the East and the third-place Raptors also easily defeated their respective opponents. Pierce, the Celtics' star and 10th pick in 1998, averaged 30.2 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, and Walker also averaged 24.4 points, 8 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game.

Not to mention the Raptors, the cousins Carter and Maddy directly penetrated the aging Pacers, and Miller alone couldn't change the outcome of the game at all. Although he tried his best to average 23.6 points and 3.8 assists per game, the only one who could help him was O'Neal Jr., who is still very young and helpless to take Carter and Maddy, and it is only natural that the Pacers will be eliminated, which means they must put the rebuilding on the agenda as soon as possible.

The Nets and Pistons are playing more anxiously, Kidd has shown the level of a top point guard, under his leadership the Nets will be full of firepower, but unfortunately they hit the Pistons' iron-blooded defense, and Big Ben has caused them a lot of trouble. After five big games between the two teams, the Nets won the final victory, after all, the Pistons had more defense and less offense, and Kidd could always tear up their defensive system with passes, and the gap between the two sides was revealed.

In stark contrast to the East, the top four teams in the West have all met with stubborn resistance. The Lakers and the Jazz are old rivals, more precisely, it is O'Neal and Malone who are going head-to-head, the game of these two teams is full of collisions of various muscles, and the scores of both sides in each game are not high, which is the style of the Jazz, but it is not the style of the Lakers at all. However, Stockton and Malone are still old, Kobe Bryant and O'Neal are in their prime, and the difference in physical strength made the Lakers finally win the series 3-1.

When Chang Wei saw Stockton reluctantly looking back at the arena on TV, he couldn't help but feel sad for the veteran. If nothing else, his old partner Malone will join the Lakers a season later in order to get a championship ring, which also means that the Utah Twins, which were once rampant in the league, are officially dissolved. Malone's change of court was perfectly fine from his personal point of view, but he didn't take Stockton's mood into account because it would mean a betrayal of the past.

But now Malone has not yet switched to the Lakers, to a certain extent, he has hatred for the Lakers, he really wants to win a championship, but seeing that he is getting older and older, the Lakers are in full swing in the West, and it is not normal not to dislike it. Chang Wei didn't plan to pull out his teeth, in his opinion, Ma Long is out of breath now, and it is normal that he didn't win the championship in his previous life.

The experience of the Spurs is not much different from that of the Lakers, the supersonic star Payton has passed his prime, the team's No. 2 man Wen Baker has been drinking for a long time, and his combat power is not as good as before, and they do not have such an outside firepower point as Lewis in their previous life, if it weren't for Popovich's insistence on letting Parker start to workout, they might have advanced long ago, but in the end, the SuperSonics failed to complete the reversal, and were unfortunately eliminated 2-3 after five big games.

It was relatively easier for the Kings to win, with the Trail Blazers now largely relying on Rashid Wallace, while Pippen is a year older and has further declined. When they faced Webb and Divac on the inside, Rashid was averaging 25.3 points and 12.3 rebounds per game. He and Bunch Wells were the only ones on the Trail Blazers team who could cause some problems for the Kings, but they couldn't prevent the team from going out 0-3 in the end.

Originally, there was no suspense in the Mavericks VS Timberwolves, the Mavericks' troika was too sharp, and Nowitzki has grown into a top power forward comparable to Garnett, who averaged an astonishing 33.3 points per game, as well as 15.7 rebounds, 3 steals and 1.3 blocks, and Finley and Nash also contributed 20+ per game. After the Timberwolves lost Szczebiak, they could only rely on Garnett and Billups, how could they stop the Mavericks? They reluctantly lost 3-0, and at this time the Timberwolves management regretted that they had rushed to send Szczebiak away.

But what's the solution? They can only watch their selected potential rookies play well with the Lakers and help the Lakers eliminate the Jazz and advance to the second round. In the four games of the first round, Szczebiak contributed an average of 19.8 points and 4.6 rebounds per game, which is already a qualified three-man for the Lakers, and the experience of the two teams can be said to be worlds apart.
