Chapter 259: Second Round!

Before the start of the playoffs, I believe that not many people would have guessed that the Heat would sweep the Pacers 4-0, and even there are not a few who are looking forward to the Black Eight with a dark psychology, although the Heat is the first in the East, but it always gives people a feeling of unease, for three reasons, Bosh has been reimbursed for the season, Xie Chen has no ability to lead the team in the playoffs, and Wade's state is not stable.

After this round of the series, everyone has a new understanding of the Heat, Rohr Deng can stand up and score to make up for Bosh's vacancy, Xie Chen is as brave as the regular season, and Wade proves that he is still the omnipotent Flash!

The Heat swept the league with a domineering sweep, and they were strong!

At the end of the game, the arena was generally dull, with fans leaving their seats disappointed, and soon the spectator seats were empty, except for the laughter of the Heat.

Xie Chen and Wade, Hassan, Rohr Deng, Birdman, and Haslem high-fived one by one, with a deep joy on their faces, they were promoted, and they were finally promoted! Is that what it's like to get through the first round of the playoffs? It's not that hard.

Xie Chen played the playoffs for the first time, and he thought that the first round would be difficult, but when it came time to advance to the second round, he felt that the process was too easy.

Although it is not much difficulty to pass the first round, for some stars, it is like a curse that cannot be broken, such as Maddie, he can never break the curse of the first round, which is also his most criticized place and the biggest obstacle to his entry into the Hall of Fame.

Maddy's first playoff appearance was with the Raptors in 2000, when he was just 20 years old, and after the defeat he said they would return to the playoffs again, and everyone knew he could do it, and that he would have time to prove himself and make it past the first round.

In the blink of an eye. Maddy's second playoff has come to the Magic, and Maddy averaged 33.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game in the series, which can be said to be almost the same as Xie Chen's number this year.

Afterward, Maddie said in an interview. I'm disappointed with our whole team, but it's not the end of the world. He was right again, it is indeed not the end of the world, he is at his peak, and there is time to prove himself and cross the first round.

Then, Maddie went to the playoffs again, the Hornets beat the Magic 3-1, and Maddie fell again in the first round. Maddie is still convinced that she can make it past the first round. But he said I don't want to be the kind of player who takes six or seven times to get to the first round. At that time, everyone often said that one person was kg.

In 2003, facing the Pistons, and it was already a 3-1 lead, and even he had already said the wild words "If it was last year, I would have been thinking about the next round of opponents", that year, Maddie was arrogant and high-spirited. Young and frivolous and unstoppable! Unexpectedly, he was won three games in a row by the Pistons.

Then there is the Rocket period, which is well known to the majority of Chinese fans. The Rockets also led 2-0 at the time, only to be overturned by the Mavericks.

In 2007 and 2008, he fell to the Jazz one after another, and then Maddy went to the Hawks, and the loss to the Celtics was already expected.

Maddie played in the playoffs eight times, but never made it past the first round, and then the Rockets passed the first round. Maddie was reimbursed...... Perhaps, this is fate.

Thinking of Maddie's story, Xie Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and cherished this hard-won first-round promotion even more.

After the game between the Heat and the Pacers ended, the game between the Hawks and the Wizards ended an hour later. In this game, the Hawks overwhelmingly defeated the Wizards, leading 3-2, and it only took one game for the Hawks to advance to the second round and meet the Cavaliers.

However, Xie Chen was worried that the Eagles had been tossed by the Wizards for so long, and the Knights themselves were strong, and they had so much time to rest, would they be at a disadvantage when they played against each other, but fortunately, Lefu was not here now, and he could still expect the Eagles to be upset.

On the Western side, the Trail Blazers finally pulled back a game and were not swept by the Grizzlies, and Lillard, the point guard who has been dissatisfied with Xie Chen, went on a rampage tonight, scoring 35+8 counts, and a key four-point in the fourth quarter! After the referee blew the whistle for the goal at the top of the arc, Lillard kept walking to the middle line, and his mouth was still squirming and he didn't know what he was talking about, in fact, he was stimulated by Xie Chen, because Lillard has always refused to admit defeat, but Xie Chen has swept the opponent 4-0, but his side was almost swept by the opponent, and this gap is too chilling.

That night, Kobe Bryant updated his Twitter to say that he had never seen so many excellent point guards in the league compete in the playoffs! This is undoubtedly the heyday of point guards!

Kobe's words, if you think about it, are really scary. On the West side, there are Chris Paul, Stephen Curry, Lillard, and Tony Parker, who once won the FMVP, but unfortunately the strongest PG in the West is not there.

The East, not to mention, is known as the strongest PG of the new generation Xie Chen, Kelly Irving, Rose, All-Star players Lowry, John Wall, and even, LeBron James have been divided into the ranks of PGs by fans......

Therefore, if he wants to stand out among so many excellent point guards and become the first person to be a real point guard, Xie Chen's task is very arduous.

The Bulls and Heat have advanced to the second round, and have also become the most watched pair in the second round of the playoffs.

Tonight, Smith and Bayless will inevitably have another verbal battle, and the new host Katie is already familiar with it, the host table is getting better and better, and more and more popular with the audience, and many people have named Katie the first beauty host of ESPN.

Of course, Katie is well-deserved, Katie is dressed elegantly, her noble temperament is fully displayed, and it is difficult to hide the horny sexy figure under the dignified sitting posture, especially the shape of the plump buttocks pressed on the seat, it is estimated that many men will scramble to be the chair.

In fact, after Katie gained some popularity, she was pursued by many people to show her love, but Katie ignored anyone, concentrated on work, and thought she was a workaholic, but Smith and Bayless both knew the relationship between Katie and All-Star MVP Xie Chen, and they didn't dare to act excessively towards Katie.

At the beginning of the show, Katie ruffled her hair, and the old rivals of Smith and Bayless looked at each other awkwardly and with pleasure as they sniffed the glamorous perfume. Xie Chen is the man that Katie likes, and he will have to be more restrained when he fights later, Bayles is not afraid, because he is on the side of the Heat and Xie Chen, and Smith is in trouble, and he wants to stand on the side of the Bulls.

Katie faces the camera. A slight smile on his clear face: "Welcome to our program, now the playoffs are about to go to the second round, the first pair of second-round opponents have come out, Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls, they both swept their opponents with a score of 4:0, which shows that these two teams are very strong, since they are both strong, then in the second round, who has a greater probability of winning?" ”

Smith, with his plump lips, made a gesture of please. Let Bayless be the first to speak: "Yes, although everyone is tired of this team, they are on the playoff stage again this year, they have advanced to the second round of the playoffs, and I predict that they will return to the finals this year!" Even if there is no so-called first person in the league to help, I'm talking about the Miami Heat. ”

"Xie and D-Wade in the first round of the table Xiàn have been told everyone the results of the second round series, in the case of Wade's health and normal. With Xie still playing at regular season level, the Heat are simply invincible. The Chicago Bulls, that's right, they cleanly eliminated the Raptors, four sweeps, which is really surprising, but I can't help but say that the Raptors played too badly. ”

"Tse and Rose have a lot in common. Especially for the layup, Rose did return healthy, which made many Bulls fans, including me, very happy, but don't forget, Xie has a trick that is far better than Rose. That's three-point shooting, and even though Rose has made a career-high 32.5 percent of three-point shots this year, I don't know anyone else who can compare to Xie in terms of three-point shooting except Stephen Curry and Korver. ”

"I think the Heat will deal with the Bulls in six games, Hassan Whiteside, who didn't play much in the first round, will explode in this round, I don't think the Bulls have players who can contain the monster of Hassan, and besides, the individual matchup between Rose and Shea will be very exciting."

Bayless has always been in favor of Xie Chen against James, and it is not surprising that he supports the Heat, Smith as his opponent in the debate, it is inevitable to contradict him, Smith said: "I know, the Miami Heat may be the most versatile and talented rookie in history, there is FMVP, Wade, who has won three championship rings, and Hassan Whiteside, who is scared of his legs in rebounding and blocking, even without Chris Bosh, the Heat is still more talented than the Bulls, At least Xie alone will top the Bulls for several starters. ”

"But even if everyone is on the side of the Heat, on the side of the 'future legend' Xie, even if I bet that I will choose the Miami Heat, but today my brother will choose the Chicago Bulls! Brother not only said that the Chicago Bulls won, but also thought that they would fight seven games! ”

Smith was already spitting around, his mouth was like a machine gun, laughing while talking, Katie and Bayless also laughed, this guy is always so passionate: "The Bulls have MVP Rose, Paul Gasol who has played the best table in recent years, and most importantly, there is Jimmy Butler, who shoots 58 percent from the back jumper and 45.8 percent from the corner three-pointer!" And under his defense, the Heat's third scoring point, Rohr Deng, who averaged nearly 20 points per game in the first round, will be severely limited. ”

"Wade has proven that he is still the same Wade, but Xie has not fully proven himself, Katie, don't look at me like this, I promise that I love Xie deeply in my heart."

Smith couldn't help but tease Katie during the conversation: "I mean, Shea hasn't played in the playoffs, he hasn't proven himself in the playoffs, the Pacers aren't a strong enough opponent, the Bulls are, this series is definitely the most intense in the second round, just like the Clippers and Spurs in the first round, they're going to play seven." ”

Hearing Smith's analysis, Katie's heart also fluctuated, he didn't know much about the NBA before, but after being a host for a while, he has learned a lot, this series looks really difficult, she is very worried about Xie Chen, because she doesn't want Xie Chen to be defeated, but what can she do for Xie Chen?

……

The Heat flew back to Miami the next day, and the second round of games won't start until next month, so the Heat can take a good rest and watch the other teams' games during the two days at the end of the month.

Today, the Rockets finally defeated the Mavericks at home and eliminated the opponent with a score of 4-1 to advance to the second round, but at this time the Rockets still don't know whether their opponent in the second round is the Clippers or the Spurs, and what bothers Harden and Howard is that whether it is the Clippers or the Spurs, the next round is definitely not easy to play, and the possibility of tragedy is very high.

After the Rockets and Mavericks, the Clippers and Spurs began the most intense matchup in the first round, this is the battle between the two teams, the Spurs have experienced strong winds and waves, this kind of scene is also commonplace, since the Spurs won the first championship in 1999, they have played the fifth game 31 times, won 23 times, and the winning rate has reached 74.2%.

The Clippers have struggled in this regard, with a 1-7 record in Game 5 and Game 6 since they returned to the playoffs in 2012.

The Clippers vow to change their lives against the sky! Back at home, the Clippers attacked aggressively at the beginning, Griffin hit frequently, but Ginobili led the team to overtake in the second quarter, and soon after the start of the third quarter, the Spurs began to "cut Jordan" tactics, successfully disrupting the rhythm of the Clippers, in six minutes, the Clippers did not shoot a single shot, and finally, the Spurs narrowly defeated the Clippers by three points on the road, with a total score of 3:2.

Could it be that the next opponent of the Rockets is the Spurs? It's too early to say that, and in the next game that will soon be played, the Clippers will fight back! Beat the Spurs and drag the game into a tie-break!

God, no one expected that there would be such a fierce and exciting matchup in the first round of the playoffs alone, and even Xie Chen became a complete spectator at this time, and even participated in the lottery competition, choosing the Spurs.

The Wizards and the Hawks finally began to fight it out, and the Wizards wanted to drag the Hawks into the tie-break, but unfortunately, the Hawks' Korver did not give them this opportunity, Korver shot 7 three-pointers in the whole game, completely shooting down the Wizards, it is worth mentioning that Pierce had a chance to get back the score!

It was the last moment of the game, the Wizards were three points behind, the Wizards had the ball, needless to say, this last ball still had to be given to "Truth" Pierce, Pierce was also very confident, give me the ball, I will bring you a victory!

Pierce vowed to drag the game into overtime, and he did shoot this three-pointer, after the shot, the whole Wizards team also jumped with jubilation, but unfortunately, in the end, the penalty was awarded, Pierce threw the ball after the end of the game, this ball does not count!

Pierce left the field with red eyes, perhaps, this was the last shot of his career! Because he has a good chance of retiring! If that's the case, then isn't it too sad to make the last shot that has been shot but doesn't count? (To be continued......) R1292
