After the Knicks paid such a five-man main force that the Bobcats couldn't solve, the second type of ability of the bench is also a point that the Bobcats are extremely indignant, Paul, Knicks, Hill, Bass and Yao Ming, even Buss, who didn't perform much in the regular season, can do some finishing and defense that make the Bobcats uncomfortable, and there are already media that the Knicks' benches are stronger than the Bobcats, and what is even more outrageous is that the Knicks are just practicing this way.

The Bobcats really lost in those four games, and even some of the media who favored certain players didn't dare to say anything about their playoff performance.

This round of the series was relatively well watched except for the first game, so in the later stages it was completely 'nobody' watching, because the first round of playoff games of other teams was very exciting.

Although the game between the Mavericks and the Kings in the West was still watched at the beginning, the ratings fate of this round was the same as that of the Knicks, and in the later stages, no one watched the battle that also ended with a 4-0 record, and the Kings who left Webb, Christie, and Divac were no longer the team that shocked all the teams in the league in the eyes of many fans.

The game between the Suns and the Clippers in the second place is a new wind in the league, which is exciting and gives people a sense of suspense that does not know the outcome. Although the Suns still won 4-3 against the team in the same district who had not participated in the playoffs for many years, the positive performance of the Clippers players was also respectable.

The rivalry between the Nuggets and the Grizzlies is even more interesting, neither team is a newcomer to the playoffs, nor is it a team that has just completed a rebuild, and it belongs to the half-pounded group in the regular season this season, and it belongs to the media to fight this kind of battle 5 against 50 percent, and the interesting competition between each other is like comparing a sharper sword to a good shield.

Although the sharp sword only has the trick of stabbing to make everyone speechless, the use of the shield has changed, and the departure of veteran coach Hubi Brown due to injury is a fatal blow to the Grizzlies.

The deal with the Heat swapped out some of the best players for a talent-driven guard who was at the end of his career.

In this way, it is as if the grizzly bear has changed from a large shield in the past to a small dagger a few inches long on one side and a small round shield in the other, and what is even more ridiculous is that such a weapon costume is for a giant.

Gasol is completely unaccustomed to such a team change, and he can't even do what he can normally do in such a lineup!

The Nuggets' strong point is Anthony, and the Grizzlies' best defense is Gasol, the lack of front can only be supported by the '03 rookie Jones, and Miller, an important player of the Grizzlies in the past, can only score on the bench.

Even if the Nuggets only have one trick from beginning to end, a giant with a ridiculous weapon has loopholes everywhere! What's more, the Nuggets' strongest point of defense is on the inside, and it would be strange if such a Grizzlies didn't lose in the end.

The game between the second Pistons and the Wizards in the East is also conscious, and the best performance of the Wizards in this round is not Arenas, Arenas was limited by the Pistons very badly at the beginning, even if the current Pistons put a lot of energy into the offense, but the defensive instinct is impossible to lose easily.

The Pistons are best at restraining individual shooting scorers like Kobe Bryant and Arenas from the three-point line, and the most difficult to guard against are breakthrough scorers like Wade and Manu.

For a breakout attacker, help defense? Can you keep up with my speed, you can't even keep up with my speed? What else are you talking about defense? Defensive traps? I've relied on your body to score time and time again, what else do you use to set traps?

The Wizards' best performance in this round of the series should be Butler, Jamison is very uncomfortable with this limit, if there is no Butler who is still in the shelf life of the player's ability, the Wizards are likely to be swept by the Pistons, but with Butler's breakthrough, the Wizards finally entered the sixth game.

However, this summer is also the day when the rookie contract expires in '02, how will the Wizards deal with Butler in the face of this? Is it true that the salary that matches it is to be on par with Arenas' future?

There is no suspense in the game between the Heat and the Pacers, Carlisle's departure has made the Pacers' tactical bottom line begin to change, Miller's departure has made the Pacers unable to find their own soul, O'Neal Jr. can't even do the heavy responsibility of defending O'Neal, so don't expect him to do more, in fact, the current Pacers are already on the road of reconstruction that even they don't want to admit.

Of course, the above games are only the ones that fans pay attention to in the first round, and the fourth and fifth places in the East and West are the ones that attract the most attention.

If the game between the Suns and the Clippers is very fresh and exciting for fans, and the games of other teams are not so unexpected, then the game between the Spurs and the Lakers is a big drama, the most anticipated annual drama in the summer, two teams with the strength to compete for the championship can only immediately stage the speed of life and death in the first round for a reason that makes many teams and players feel indignant.

Both teams have their own souls, and in terms of lineup comparison, it can be regarded as half a catty, so if the two teams want to win, they can only rely on the performance of the players, Kobe Bryant vs. Parker, Manu, and Kwame vs. Duncan.

This kind of drama is the duel that makes all fans feel excited.

The Spurs were overturned by the Lakers in the first game of their home court, and after Kobe Bryant came to the playoffs, his playing time increased to 43 minutes in the first game, as did Kwame, and Odom, who led the team off the bench, also performed well in this game.

The first game was a typical, Collins controlled game, from the beginning of the game to control everything that could be done in his own hands, for the Spurs' offense, Collins sacrificed two magic weapons, Kwame Brown and Kwame Brown's own defensive system, when Duncan attacked, the responsibility of defending Duncan was only handed over to Kwame alone, and others would never have any help defense.

When Duncan covers for others and needs the Lakers to maintain a high rotation, the starting combination of Kwame, Wang Zhizhi and Wharton will choose a crazy rotation and rotate at the expense of physical strength, in addition to not allowing Duncan to appear in a place where there is a great threat, but the speed of Manu and Parker makes it impossible to improve.

Kobe Bryant, Collins didn't want to care about him, his own pride was enough to make the Spurs' outside uncomfortable, and the duel between Parker and Parker was more conscious, although the Smush defensive skills from receiving the ball were not enough, but if Tony really wanted to rely on pure speed to get rid of him, it would not be a simple matter.

Finally, the Spurs' defense and offense have problems, they encounter strong interference when attacking, and they can't defend Kobe Bryant when defending, even if Bowen has done everything he can, the connection with Kwame still makes Kobe Bryant play like a fish in water.

In the second game, Popovich, who learned from the team's tactics, completely got rid of the inherent impression that the Spurs gave to the fans, David Lee started this game, and Manu also started.

The first point is to find the absence from Wang Zhizhi, Wang Zhizhi, whose movement speed is relatively slow compared to NBA players, was confused by the Spurs' targeted blocking and dismantling at the beginning of this game.

David Lee is faster than Wang Zhizhi, better reflexes, has been relatively good physical fitness perfect display, in the few minutes when Kwamei was dragged by Duncan, the Spurs seized Wang Zhizhi's weakness to play, although Collins saw that the situation was not right, and replaced Wang in the third minute, but in this game Wang Zhizhi did perform extremely badly.

After Odom came on the court, the Spurs chose a very simple interior shrinkage tactic to reduce Kobe's breakthrough space, reduce the routes that Kobe Bryant could use, and reduce everything Kwame needed to play alone.

Even if Walton, Odom, and Parker are given a lot of three-point openings, they will do whatever it takes to block the basket. (To be continued.) )
