Chapter 300: The First Round of Battles
Chapter 300: The first round of battles
After the Knicks won the game, the experts who were not optimistic about the Knicks also changed their tunes.
Even this year's Knicks have a 46 record and are fifth in the East to enter the playoffs. But most experts will be more optimistic about the Cavaliers to advance.
Even, many people are saying that the Knicks should lose this series with a score of 1:4, the first two games, it seems to be according to the script arranged by these experts, and in the third game, the Knicks can win at home is also expected by everyone, no one thinks that the Knicks will be swept, and the experts' script says: The Knicks will win one win and one loss at two home courts. The Cavaliers then comfortably beat the Knicks on their home court in Game 5, and the Knicks' first playoff journey was over. The Knicks' team members also happily completed their tasks, and it was time for each to go back to their respective homes and find their own mothers.
For these remarks, Chen Jiyuan never refutes anything, there is no need, once you refute it, it becomes a war of words, that is what reporters like to see the most.
But, now, the reality tells these experts, your script is wrong, and now we are tied 2:2, how can I lose 1:4?
The Cavaliers have lost two games in a row, although the momentum will drop a little, but the Cavaliers' interior will be adjusted, after all, the Cavaliers still have home court advantage now, and there is nothing to worry about. As a veteran player, Ilgoskas is very experienced, and he will definitely adjust the atmosphere within the team to restore everyone's morale. At this point, the knights have nothing to worry about.
Chen Jiyuan won this game, and he was also relieved in his heart. The pressure has finally moved from the Knicks to the Cavaliers.
The Knicks tied the game at 2-2, but there are still many teams that are close to elimination. Even, maybe tomorrow the day after tomorrow the alliance will have the first team to be eliminated. It's not that it's basically certain to be eliminated, but it's really time to go home and fish.
The first team to go home fishing was the Denver Nuggets. With two superstars, Carmelo Anthony and Alan Iverson, the Tunnelers were swept in the first round. Although they actually have 50 wins this year. However, the fact that they were swept in the first round overshadowed all of their success highlights of the season.
Since then, the Nuggets have also had a crisis of confidence in the current core Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson. Then there was a trade between the Nuggets and the Pistons. And the news of Billups' departure and Iverson's re-opening club will all be in the newspapers.
Following the Nuggets, the Wizards are also on their way home. In Orlando, the Magic sent the Wizards back to their hometown. Successfully became the second team to qualify.
And Celtic won this game on this day, and managed to win a game on the road. also led the 76ers with a score of 3:1. Iguodala can defend against Pierce or Ray Allen, but it's a bit difficult for him to limit the Celtics' two outside superstars by himself.
In the face of Iguodala's defense, even the all-round singles player Paul Pierce will feel a headache, Iguodala is physically strong, has excellent horizontal movement, and has first-class defensive awareness, and any small forward facing Iguodala's defense will have a decrease in efficiency, even James can't score easily under Iguodala's defense.
If two teams qualify, it means that two teams have been eliminated and gone home. Competition is so cruel, some people succeed, naturally some people fail, some people reach the top, and naturally some people will become the stepping stone of this person to the top.
The next day, the Pistons eliminated the Raptors with a score of 4:1. Successfully advanced to the second round.
The Rockets picked up a life at home and avoided the embarrassment of being eliminated at home. The score of the Rockets and Jazz became 2:3.
If the Rockets can win a game on the Jazz's home court, then the Rockets may even do something big, and it is not impossible to turn the tables around. It's about seeing if the Rockets can win on the Jazz's home court.
The Hornets eliminated the Mavericks. The Spurs eliminated the Suns. Both teams eliminated their opponents with a score of 4:1. Advance to the semifinals in the West.
The two teams as opponents, advanced on the same day, knew who the opponent was on the same day, the two teams had the same record in the regular season, and when they met in the playoffs, it was bound to be a battle.
The first round of games is basically over, and the rest is the game between the Cavaliers and the Knicks, the game between the 76ers and the Celtics, and the game between the Jazz and the Rockets. None of them were originally predicted by the experts.
The Knicks are not favored by most experts in the first place, and the main reason is that they are too young. The team is mostly rookies. So it was predicted to be eliminated 1:4.
The game between the Celtics and the 76ers was very simple and clear before the game, and basically people with a little brain knew that the Celtics would sweep the 76ers with a score of 4:0 and the autumn wind swept away the leaves. The only difference now is that the 76ers stole a win on their home court. There are always some surprises. It's nothing, it's impossible to follow the script in everything. So this situation is quite acceptable to the experts.
The game between the Rockets and Jazz has also dragged on a bit long. Without Yao, the Rockets will be vulnerable in the eyes of experts, but the Rockets have shown their resilience and Tracy McGrady has shown his worth, scoring 20 points, 23 points, 27 points, 23 points, and 29 points in five games so far. He averaged 24.4 points per game. Successfully dragged the game to the sixth game.
On the 30th, the Knicks flew to Cleveland again to fight the Battle of Mount Tenking. Historically, in the case of a 2-2 draw in the first four games, the team that wins the Battle of Mt. Tenno will have an 84% chance of winning the series. It can be said that this game is likely to decide the life and death of both sides. If the Knicks can win, then in Game 6, in New York, on their home court, the Knicks may win this series and successfully advance to the second round, but if they lose, then, even if they tie seven, the Knicks will not have a home-court advantage, and the shape is not optimistic.
In this game, the Knicks must win. Chen Jiyuan also knows the importance of this game, and also knows Britney Dolan, this little girl followed the team to Cleveland by plane, ready to watch the game away, and Britney came with a person who surprised Chen Jiyuan - Ivanka Teplan.
