Chapter 102: In Process

Cavaliers vs. Hawks, Magic vs. Wizards. Forrest Gump is the first of the two groups to split the winners, with the same four sweeps, and will meet in the next round.

In the other two games in the East, it was not so smooth or the gap was huge. Celtics VS Philadelphia 76ers game, from the beginning of the series, the Celtics' Big Three showed a huge gap in strength and even experience, and the Celtics led by the two home Big Three won easily, and the scene was like an NBA-level team against an NBDL-level team, and even the media claimed that this was a completely two-sided game, and the Philadelphia 76ers showed their shortcomings in the face of the old and spicy Celtics.

Most media outlets thought the Celtics would win the game with a score of 4-1, and some even radically thought that the Celtics would sweep through the ranks like the Magic and the Cavaliers.

But back on the home court of the Philadelphia 76ers, where the Celtics were stubbornly blocked. Even so, Celtic won the third game. However, in the fourth game, the three points of the little AI Iguodala made the Celtics lose the opportunity to sweep 4:0.

By this time, the game had not yet taken the media out of its expectations.

The Celtics still have the absolute advantage, and although they didn't sweep, the vast majority of people think that returning to the Celtics' home stadium will not let such an accident happen again at the North Shore Garden Stadium. But the results are always so unexpected.

At TD's North Shore Garden Court, the Celtics lost by 20 points and were tied at 3-2 by the Philadelphia 76ers. At this time, the media couldn't help but pay attention to this Philadelphia 76ers. However, although the Philadelphia 76ers exploded with energy and won two games in a row, the media is still optimistic about the Celtics to advance.

One is because the Celtics have a big three, Ray Allen, Pierce, and Garnett, and all three of them have the ability to end the game at a critical moment. Another reason is that there has never been a situation in history where the playoffs have been three games behind and finally reversed.

But the Philadelphia 76ers do have a chance.

The sixth game was called the battle of Tianwang Mountain by the media. If Celtic gets the win, then naturally it will be Celtic who advances. But if the Philadelphia 76ers continue to win, they can drag the Celtics into a tiebreaker. Once dragged into the tiebreaker, it is difficult to predict the outcome at that time. Forrest gump

In general, the series is determined by strength, after all, the two sides have to fight seven games at most, seven games, it is enough to be completely familiar with the opponent, and at this time, it is natural to fight with strength, and the side with the advantage is more likely to win. But when it comes to a specific game, that's not how it is calculated.

Once dragged into the tie-breaker, it will be a decisive battle.

And this kind of decisive battle, there are too many variables, and the slightest change on the field can change the balance of advantage. Not to mention how serious the physical drain of seven big games is, the Celtics are a team with veterans forming the core. Once dragged into the tie-break, even if the Celtics finally succeed in qualifying, but because of the physical exertion, because the veterans do not get enough rest, it is not good for the Celtics' championship road.

It is precisely because of this that the battle between the Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers has attracted the attention of many media.

The game was a tough one, with both teams focusing on defense and a battle of iron at the Wachovia Center, home of the Philadelphia 76ers. Until the final three minutes of the game, the 76ers maintained a slight lead in the score.

If it weren't for the last-minute three-point explosion of Ray Allen, who hit three three-pointers in a row to overtake and pull the score away, the Philadelphia 76ers have a good chance of dragging the game into a tie-breaker.

Celtic eventually managed to advance.

At the same time, their opponents appeared in advance. After five fierce battles between the Detroit Pistons and the Toronto Raptors, the Detroit Pistons finally sent the 'Dragon King' Bosh and his Toronto Dragons back to the beach fishing ground with a total score of 4:1.

In this way, the first round of the Eastern Conference is over, and the opponents of the second round have been established, Cleveland Cavaliers vs Orlando Magic, Boston Celtics vs Detroit Pistons. The winners of the two groups will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals for the Eastern Conference championship and a ticket to the Finals!

In the West, all four games were split a day later, and the Rockets' season ended with the Rockets losing the tiebreaker 78-85 at the Energy Center Arena, home of the Utah Jazz. He also continued his history of the first round of the playoffs.

In addition, in the West, the Los Angeles Lakers vs Denver Nuggets, the first in the West, the Los Angeles Lakers successfully advanced with a 4:1 record.

The Denver Nuggets had a chance to counterattack, and after losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in the first game, the golden double guns in the backcourt suddenly exploded in the second game, and they combined to score 74 points and defeated the Los Angeles Lakers with a total score of 108-100, stealing a victory on the Lakers' home court.

Unfortunately, in the third game between the two sides, Allen Iverson sprained his ankle in a layup and couldn't continue to play, and Carmelo Anthony was left alone with three routs to end the Denver Nuggets' playoff trip.

In the series of Hornets vs Mavericks, the Hornets did not change the dark horse Ben Sè, first won two consecutive victories on their home court, and then visited Dallas to achieve a record of one win and one loss, and returned to the home court, the Hornets never gave the Mavericks any chance, won cleanly, and finally eliminated the Mavericks with a score of 4:1 and advanced to the second round of the Western Conference playoffs.

In the Spurs VS Suns game, the Spurs' GDP combination worked well, but the Suns who forcibly embedded the big shark O'Neal had a bad reaction, positional warfare, run-and-bomb tactics, O'Neal finally proved to be completely incompatible with run-and-bomb tactics, and Stoudemire's injury made the Suns even worse, and the Spurs troika, which had a stable and tacit record of 4:1, had the last laugh and eliminated the Suns to enter the second round of the playoffs.

Almost immediately after the game, news came from the Suns' management that they had terminated the contract with the meritorious coach D'Antoni.

The situation in the west is almost no different from the memory of Zhang Kong's previous life. For the time being, his influence was confined to the east.

At the same time, far away on the other side of the world, the country of the East, also focused more attention and more attention on the Knights because of the defeat of the rockets.

At this moment, in the dormitory building of the game major of Communication University of China, several young people wearing big pants, vests, and slippers gathered in front of the computer to watch the latest reports of the circle platform.

On the bed, there were crudely crafted cards scattered around.

Sun Zhengping said after explaining the Rockets VS Jazz game: "Then the first round of the NBA playoffs is over, and there are four teams in the east and west to advance, and the two teams that our Chinese fans and friends are most concerned about are the Houston Rockets and the Cleveland Cavaliers." As for the Rockets, they were eliminated by the Jazz 4:3 after seven big games with the Jazz. Another team that our Chinese fans and friends are very concerned about is the Cleveland Cavaliers of our player Zhang Kong, but they swept the Atlanta Hawks 4:0 to advance to the second round, in the second round they will face the Orlando Magic, Zhang Kong will once again have a direct confrontation with Dwight Howard. So Coach Zhang, which of these two teams do you think has a better chance of advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals? ”

"Well, I think both teams can get promoted in a sweeping way, which shows that both teams are strong and in good shape. Let's take a look at the lineups of both teams, and the lineups of both teams are very reasonable...... The tactics are well used...... The promotion was reasonable......"

"Hey, Sanfat, which team do you think will win the Cavaliers or the Magic?" After taking a bite of instant noodles, a young man with glasses and a blue face full of pimples.

"It must be a knight, Zhang Kong is invincible!" A big fat man who is one meter nine tall and weighs more than three hundred pounds with a face full of meat said with a look of adoration: "What 'Warcraft' Howard, when you meet Zhang Kong, you will definitely clean up like a kitten!" ”

"You can't say that, Howard is also quite strong."

"Strong fart, the last time the Cavaliers fought the Magic, didn't Howard still be blown up!"

"It's the regular season, and besides, experience is more important in the playoffs. Monkey, what do you think? ”

"I think it's very difficult for the Magic to win the Cavaliers, but it's not easy for the Cavaliers to win against the Celtics, I guess my Kai must be the Eastern Conference champion!"

"Cut, the Celtics were blown up in the regular season! It's still an empty cover lore! ”

"That shot is luck, it doesn't count."

"What luck, luck is also part of strength, okay!"

"Do you want to play in the afternoon?"

"I have a class in the afternoon."

"Whatever, it's just an elective, I escaped, I made an appointment with those guys from the foreign language department in the afternoon, and I have to teach them a good lesson today."

"Okay, if you all run away, I'll run away."

Just when the conversation was in full swing, the door of the dormitory was suddenly pushed open, and several people looked back suddenly, only to see a tall foreigner, accompanied by the head of their department, walking in. Then he frowned, the unique smell of the men's college dorm room, a mixture of underwear, stinky shoes, stinky socks, and used toilet paper was absolutely dizzying.
