The Rockets swept the SuperSonics 3-0 in the first round of their own playoffs, sending Payton home in tears.

While the rest of the league is fighting for the O'Brien Cup, let's take a look at the other series in the West.

The Spurs vs. the Kings, Duncan vs. Webb, this is definitely the most exciting series, but if you want to see the excitement, it's best to play against these two teams in two years, and now it can only be said to be a one-sided game, the Princeton system has not been completed, how do you let the Kings play against two of the top 50 superstars, this is a big problem.

Webb looked at Duncan's head for a while, is this still a sophomore, you tmd is simply an old fritter, and Garnett, Rashid? Wallace's gang belongs to the same level.

Why did I have such an opponent, uncomfortable, the game still has to be played, the Spurs had the advantage in the first game, the inside and outside line were very well assembled, a combination of punches down, so that the king completely lost his temper, the two big pitchers on the outside of the Spurs, Mario? Elie and Steve? Kerr, the two of them teamed up to throw in 8 three-pointers, which directly made the Kings swallow a loss.

In the second game, although the Kings strengthened their defense on the outside, it was very unfortunate that they met a David in an explosive state? Robinson, (Many people may not know the fierceness of Brother David, in fact, this guy is an enhanced version of the current Warcraft, know the power.) Divac could only look at David again and again? Robinson wreaked havoc on his own basket, and he was powerless to stop it. The rest of the Spurs also knew that Robinson was super good today, and he continued to shrug up assists and look at David? When Robinson had 37 points, 17 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 blocks, the Kings could only leave with hatred.

The Kings who returned to their home court learned from the pain, and in the third game there was a Jedi counterattack on their home court, Webb's 27 points and 12 rebounds in a single game led the Kings to play a super game, and the whole team of 7 people played double-doubles, and a wave of unparalleled Princeton system played the Spurs by 26 points, and the Kings' young people used a victory to tell the Spurs that we are not so easy to deal with.

After losing Game 3, several of the Spurs' giants didn't want to celebrate their victory on their home stadium anymore, and they felt comfortable celebrating their victory on the opponent's home court.

As a result, the Kings were tragic, the Spurs' Big Three teamed up to score 68 points, and the Kings' players could only look at David? Robinson, Tim? Duncan and Charles? The three of Barkley are wreaking havoc on the team's basket on the court, and the King is like a beautiful woman in a bikini who has met a pervert who hasn't seen a woman for 3 years, being ravaged and ravaged by others.

105:79 The Spurs returned a 26-point, looking at the Spurs players celebrating wantonly on their home court, Webber's heart was mixed, and he vowed that he would never swear in the name of God in such a situation in the future.

Just like that, the Spurs eliminated talented power forward Webb and his Kings 3-1.

Then there's the Jazz-Suns series, and probably the easiest series is the Jazz-Rockets series, and the Sun-Jazz series is more of a cutscene when the Kings are stubbornly resisting their opponents.

Gugliotta is no match for Malone at all, Kidd is a little out of the way against Stockton, and Chapman is facing Byron? Russell and Shandon? Anderson's joint interception also had no effect at all.

The Jazz ended the Suns' playoff journey with three clean games, with the scores of 95-85, 110-99, and 103-93.

The three games let the Suns know where their gap is.

And the management of the Suns, looking at Danny? The team coached by Anji, although it can break into the playoffs every year, is always unable to break through. Anji's departure is not far away.

The Jazz and Rockets easily cleaned up their opponents, and the Spurs took a little effort to solve the Kings, but the worst game in the Western Conference continued.

That is the Trail Blazers vs. the Lakers, the difference in strength between these two teams is really too small, and the victory or defeat is basically between the first line, so the collision of these two teams can be called the most classic and tragic series in the entire series.

The first game was played on the home court of the Trail Blazers, who took advantage of their home-court advantage to start the game, and the coordination between Sabonis and Pippen is now a bit of a relationship between the Magic and the Sky Hook.

Both of them are players with a very high ball quotient, and the cooperation between the two is becoming more and more tacit, basically a look, a gesture two people know what the other party is going to do, if it is not for Sabonis's knee injury is very serious, can only play for more than 20 minutes or so, then the league can compete with them, there are only a handful.

The first game was completely an exhibition game between Pippen and Sabonis, the tacit cooperation between the two dwarfed O'Neal and Kobe, the first game in which Sabonis only played 26 minutes, Pippen and Sabonis teamed up to score 44 points, accounting for half of the team's total scores, plus the efforts of other players in the Trail Blazers, 88:80 The Trail Blazers won the first game on their home court.

In the second game, the Lakers strengthened their defense against Sabonis and Pippen, and in the first half of the second game, they effectively suppressed the Trail Blazers' offense. Dunleavy watched as the Lithuanian failed to continue to play a role and replaced him with Kevin? Cato went inside to wrestle with O'Neal.

Although it effectively consumes O'Neal's physical strength, it is obviously impossible to control O'Neill, and such a monster is not something that anyone can control.

However, the Lakers are in trouble outside, Pippen's defense makes the Lakers the first scoring point on the outside, Kobe Bryant is in a goal drought, facing the calm and spicy Pippen, Kobe Bryant, who has just secured the main position, is not Pippen's opponent, if it weren't for Rice's several goals to stabilize the situation on the court, the Trail Blazers would have led by more than 10 points.

At the start of the second half, the Trail Blazers tried to pull away the score quickly. Stoudamire scurried up and down like a live rabbit on the court, and none of the Lakers could keep up with the kid.

The Lakers were stirred into a pot of porridge, and at this point the Lakers lost control of the game, losing the second game 95-86.

Looking at the Trail Blazers, who had already led them 2-0, the Lakers finally played a morale-boosting game after returning to their home court.

O'Neal alone dropped 35 points and 18 rebounds in the whole game, completely blowing up the interior of the Trail Blazers. Jones and Glenn? Rice and the pair combined for nine three-pointers as the Trail Blazers watched the Lakers beat themselves 105-93 on their own home court.

The win pulled the Lakers back from the edge of the cliff and tied the score at 2:1.

Before the fourth game, the Trail Blazers were desperate to win the Lakers' home court, but Kobe? Bryant's outburst put the Trail Blazers' ideas to naught, and Bryant's 39 points, six rebounds and six assists in Game 4 showed what a top attacker can be.

Looking at Kobe Bryant, whose hands were hot, Pippen, who was opposite him, could only helplessly watch this kid take himself as a background.

In this way, the two teams ushered in the final battle at the home court of the Trail Blazers.

As soon as the game began, the game between the two sides immediately went into a white-hot state, and from the first second of the game, the defense knew that it would be a battle for survival.

What kind of fighter is the most terrifying, only fighters for survival, such a display is the most terrible opponent, obviously both sides are such fighters.

The two sides fought fiercely for 48 minutes, until the second overtime, when Jermaine? O'Neal made a layup with 1.7 seconds left before the end of the game to beat the Lakers.

Looking at that Jermaine who is the same age as himself? O'Neal, Kobe Bryant had no choice but to follow his teammates out of this sad place.

The Lakers' top management also suddenly discovered that Harris seemed to be very unsuitable for the Lakers after this year, and at this time, the Lakers top management had already started the idea of replacing Harris with someone else.

With a big score of 3:2, the Trail Blazers advanced with difficulty. However, their suffering has only just begun, and the impatient Rockets, who are already a little waiting, are waiting for the arrival of their opponents.

At this time, the first round of the playoffs in the East was in full swing.

The most eye-catching thing in the first round is the game between the Heat and the Knicks, and the grievances and hatreds between the two teams are almost in time for the last Hollywood blockbuster.

However, the main concern now is the situation between the two sides.

The Heat, which has been tragic for several years, continues to be tragic this year.

In the first game, they met Alain in a violent state very sadly? Houston, known as the most beautiful guy in the mid-range shot, scored 38 points in the whole game.

So the Heat tragedy, combined with the Knicks' suffocating defense 95-75, the Heat lost the first game on their home court.

In the second game, the Heat's players were still more competitive, Mourning, Mashburn, and Haddawi scored 56 points, and finally the Heat defeated the Knicks 83-73.

Just when everyone thought that the game between the two sides was about to get back on track, another person from the Knicks stepped up, and that was Sprewell, and the 'madman' who scored 42 points in the game trampled the Heat under his feet.

The third game ended in such a madness, and the Knicks took the lead to get the match point.

In the fourth game, the Heat, who recovered their form in time, defeated the Knicks 87-72 on the road, with a 15-point advantage, and tied the score of the two sides to 2:2 in time.

In this way, the two sides returned to the Heat's home court to start the final battle of life and death, and both sides played very carefully in the final game, and by the last 4.5 seconds, the Heat led the opponent by one point at 77:76.

At this time, the Knicks launched an offense, and Alan Houston, the "king of mid-range shots", feigned a jump shot, and rushed straight to the basket from the right side after deceiving the Heat's defense, and then used a throw, which is rarely used, the ball first touched the basket and then bounced up and then touched the rebound, and finally slowly entered the basket under the gaze of the fans, 78-77! The Knicks used this incredible stunner to extinguish the Heat with a total score of 3-2 and advance with their heads held high.

The Knicks staged a scene of the Black Eight Miracle.

Such a miracle has made several other games a supporting role, and what could be more appealing than the Black Eight Miracle.

The game between the Magic and the 76ers was also quite exciting, but unfortunately Hardaway withdrew due to injury after the second game, making the next two games a solo dance for Iverson.

The 76ers defeated the Magic 3-1, and watching Hardaway leave sadly, all the fans felt sad for the injury-ridden superstar.

The Pacers swept the Bucks 3-0, and Miller used more accurate shots to tell the Bucks' shooters that you are still too young.

Another of the more intense games was the Hawks vs. Pistons.

Hill, who has grown up, was completely undaunted in the face of the 'African Mountains', and led the Pistons to resist tenaciously for five games. Although it still lost, people saw the return of the Pistons of the early 90s.

With a score of 3:2, the Hawks defeated the Pistons. Advance to the next round.

In this way, the first round of the 99 season playoffs is over, and the teams that have advanced from the east and west are fighting again.

The Eastern Conference semifinals were Pacers vs. 76ers and Knicks vs. Hawks.

The Western Conference semifinals were the Rockets vs. the Trail Blazers and the Spurs vs. Jazz.
