"You say him? He can't, Z, you've been deceived by his appearance. It's true that the league lacks big men right now, but what is lacking is good big men, like you — oh, maybe the analogy isn't appropriate, you're the kind of player that is needed in any era. I mean, that kid only has a strong body, and he's actually very poor......"

"Some people think that Andrew Bynum, the brain-dead center of the Lakers, can be his template, but we all know what that so-called Sharks II is, don't we? Of course, many people think of the latter as a piece of unpolished jade, saying that he is in excellent physical condition and that he is an exciting big man......"

"Yes, maybe among a player who's almost seven feet tall, this guy has rare explosiveness and physicality and has a lot of potential to keep going. He's got a big frame, and if you keep adding some muscle to the top of the ball, he can completely dominate both ends of the floor. His strengths in height, weight and explosiveness make him a feared blocker for opposing players. ”

"Also, from his past, he has the potential to be a good rebounder, but he has to be more aware of his position under the basket, and that's something he can never improve! His fundamentals are so poor, and his free throws are not accurate, God, I really don't want to talk about his shortcomings, because there are so many of them, I'm afraid I can't talk about them with a dry mouth......"

"Do you have to listen? Well, I'll just say a few points, first of all, he has to strengthen the strength of his upper limbs and legs, otherwise he will not be able to stand firm in the restricted area in the NBA with his strength. In addition, although he has played in the NCAA National Championship and has seen a big scene, his skills are still very primitive, and the primitive ones are a little ugly, I am afraid that even the cave man who came to the NCAA to play such a game will be better than him in offense, at least not like him, the offense is only limited to dunks and fast-break follow-up layups! ”

"You've been deceived by his appearance, guys, and believe me, you've been deceived by this guy's appearance. Originally, before this year, many people predicted that he would be selected in the lottery area if he participated in the draft, but this year, in the UCLA game, facing the soft guy Kevin Love, he actually ate hot pot no less than 3 times! He's completely blown up, with only 6 points and 4 turnovers, and oh my god, they're all first-year rookies! ”

"I really don't know who gave him the courage to let him participate in the NBA draft, as far as the current situation is concerned, not to mention compared with Lefou, let's say that compared with James Gist, Sasha Cowan, and Diwan Harding, I am afraid that they are all inferior, do you know the names of these people behind Lu Dao? You don't need to know the truth, they're all the same rotten guys. Also, do you know why he came to Portsmouth? Because in the past half month, he has been repeatedly beaten by low-ranking rookies in the trials of various teams, and now all teams have lost interest in him, if he doesn't come to Portsmouth, there will be no chance to play! ”

Michael vin spoke excitedly, trying his best to dispel Chamberlain and Nelson Sr. from the idea of selecting the big man in the draft, until the two said they were going back to the hotel to rest, and he reluctantly closed his mouth.

Chamberlain and Nelson Sr. spent three days at Portsmouth, during which the first round of the league's playoffs came to an end and the second round was about to begin.

The Spurs and Rockets played six bloody battles, and in the end, the eighth place in the West still failed to replicate last season's Warriors miracle, they were eliminated by their opponents on their home court, and when the whistle sounded to mean the end of the game, Maddy fell to his knees with a sad face, his eyes red!

The image quickly went viral, especially in China, where countless Maddie fans, who called themselves 'Maizi', accompanied the old boy to tears.

Maddie has really worked hard in the playoffs this season, averaging 44 minutes per game and averaging 34 points per game. 7 rebounds, 6. 5 assists, in addition to 2. With 2 steals and 2 blocks, Maddie had an impeccable performance and could get a perfect score if he only scored the players in the first round.

In the face of Bowen's strict defense, Maddie hit the Spurs' defense again and again like a mad tiger, he made a pull-up jump shot, he broke through a dunk, he made a long shot, he used every offensive move he could use, just to break his fate and enter the semifinals.

Not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end, Maddy performed just as well, after many seasons, he once again used himself as a defensive engineer, which was not the case since he left the Raptors to join the Magic, no one knows why Maddy has worked so hard this season, and his performance has conquered everyone, including the demanding San Antonio fans.

It wasn't until three seasons later that the fans suddenly realized that Maddie himself knew about himself, he had already noticed the change in his physical state in advance, and realized that this season could be his ultimate glory, and this season became a watershed for him.

It's a pity that people make things happen, and Maddie still didn't break his fate in the end, and he still failed to enter the second round.

Compared with Maddie, who performed against the sky, Yao Ming, another core of the Rockets, performed much more ordinary, averaging 21 points + 12 points per game. 5 rebounds doesn't seem bad, but on the hidden defensive end, Yao Ming couldn't limit Duncan at all, Shi Fo scored a total of 165 points in six games, and the GDP trio combined to average a terrible 64 points per game. 5 points!

Of course, Yao Ming can't be blamed for this, he has done his best, after all, he is injured, and he does not dare to fight like Maddie, because he is afraid that he will be injured again, because in three months, he will participate in the Olympics that are more important than the playoffs.

Before the Spurs advanced, the Hornets defeated the Mavericks and marched into the second round with a 4-1 lead running high. Chris Paul officially became one of the top point guards in the NBA, breaking up the Mavericks' guard line, averaging 22 points, 13 assists, and 3 per game. Five steals were enough for his fans to brag about for several seasons.

West + Peja, plus a Chandler, under Paul's threading the needle, the Hornets showed their strongest moment in the last decade, and they showed a hideous bee needle, stung the Western giants Mavericks all over the head.

Kobe's Lakers team is much harder, they didn't separate the victory or defeat with the Suns until the last game, the Zen master's tactics are correct, in the battle with the Suns, they behaved like a gentle drizzle, and they didn't go to attack and fight, just stuck to the Sun, waiting for O'Neal to lose his physical strength.

In the last quarter of the seventh game, O'Neal couldn't run, and in that quarter, Ko was like a god in the Suns' guard line, and Nash in order to take care of O'Neal's physical strength, his best running and fast attack were put on the shelf, and when he was eliminated, the handsome Sun God looked unwilling!

The four teams that advanced to the West appeared, the Spurs, Hornets, Lakers, and Warriors, and these four teams will fight each other for the second round in the remaining time.

In the East, the game is still very fierce, unlike the soft regular division, the Eastern team suddenly became iron-blooded in the playoffs, and each team showed the strength that they failed to show in the regular season, and the representative of them was the Hawks, who fought for seven games with the Green Shirts, who were the eighth in the West and the first in the league!

Although they were eliminated in the end, the young Eagles were still defeated, and before the playoffs began, everyone knew that they were going to be eliminated, and even ESPN and TNT predicted that they would be swept out of the game by the Green Shirts 4-0.

In the 1988-89 season, the Hawks also formed the Big Three of Moses Malone, Reggie Sasse and Dominic Wilkins, but the Hawks were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.

The Celtics' Big Three have very different characteristics from other superstar combinations, and the most important thing is the presence of Garnett, who is not only versatile, but also willing to bring his teammates into the entire offensive and defensive system. Garnett's low-post presence, Pierce's individual breakaway, and Ray Allen's long-range shot from the outside form a perfect complement to each other, and there is little competition for space on the court. The Celtics have a balanced offense and defense, and under the protection of the Big Three, other role players can find their own positions to contribute, which fully reflects the overall basketball advantage.

The biggest asset of the young Hawks in the playoffs is their passion, but unlike half of the young teams, the Hawks are relatively balanced in offense and defense, ranking in the middle of the league in points scored per game and points conceded per game. Although Bibi's arrival did not reflect its value in the regular season, after entering the playoffs, the Hawks' backcourt will be upgraded by a notch because of Bibibe's existence, but unfortunately in terms of offensive and defensive rhythm, the gap between the Hawks and the Celtics is very large.

Whether it is in a one-on-one competition or in terms of the overall strength of the team, the level of the Celtics is far superior to that of the Hawks. All the Celtics have to do is how to get the Big Three playing time right, so that they can keep adjusting to their condition while trying to avoid injuries and be fully prepared for the second round of the playoffs. It's exciting enough for the Hawks to break the embarrassment of missing the playoffs for years, and a playoff win is too early for them.

That's what everyone thinks before the playoffs, and the result? The result was that they slapped everyone!

Moreover, there is still a rumor in the outside world, that is, the reason why the Celtics were able to win the battle of Tianwang Mountain was not because of their own ability, but because their team played a small trick again, this time it was the young Eagles who drank expired drinks while passing the time in the hotel bar, causing diarrhea in five starts and four diarrhea on the day of the game......

The truth of the matter is unknown, but combined with the excellent tradition of the Celtics in the past, combined with the unrealistic performance of the eaglets in the battle of Tianwang Mountain, this is very likely. The Hawks lost to the Celtics by a full 45 points 64-99, which is the largest point difference in the battle of Tianwang Mountain in NBA history.

The Celtics were the last team in the East to advance, following the Cavaliers' 4-2 win over the Wizards, the Pistons' 4-2 win over the 76ers, and the Magic's 4-1 win over the Raptors.

In this way, when the time came to May 5, the NBA's Eastern and Western semifinals began.
