In fact, Woody's data can also show his dominance.

Of the 4 games, two of which were "clocked out in the third quarter", and there was also one game in which he was replaced early in the middle of the fourth season.

The average playing time per game is not as good as the playing time in the regular season, only 30 minutes and 13 seconds.

During that time, Woody averaged 16.5 shots per game, hitting 11 of them, and averaged 4.5 free throws per game, hitting 3.5, and scoring 25.5 points per game, as well as 13.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 2 blocks.

In the third game of the series with the highest single-game score, he contributed 41 points and 15 rebounds at the level of "prehistoric monsters".

Jason Kidd has been in this league for so many years and knows very well what kind of player can play such dominance in the playoffs, and he didn't say anything about the future that is yours because he feels like this league is his now.

Seeing him take the initiative to talk to Woody, Barkley said: "Although I don't know what the Nets will do next, one thing is certain, they can't maintain this lineup anymore!" ”

Last year, he was out in the second round, and this year he was out in the first round.

Or was eliminated by the same opponent, the same team.

Miami has become a mountain that the Nets can't cross, and once that happens, it means it's time for the team to regroup.

Woody......

The first team to break up in my career has appeared!

Jason Kidd and the Nets were unfortunate to be the first team.

In the future, when Woody becomes famous, this matter will be mentioned again and again.

Of course, Jason Kidd's presence is not only a backdrop, but also a guarantee of the team's quality.

If it were just a "civilian team", perhaps Barkley would not have thought of this.

In that regard, Jason Kidd still has a bit of a hand.

Kidd: Thank you so much!

In this way, the Heat became the first team to reach the second round of the series this year.

However, the progress of the other groups is also relatively fast.

Both the Pacers and Pistons are already 3-0 ahead, but they won't be able to advance until tomorrow because they play a day late, but in terms of progress, they are not slower than the Heat.

If they both manage to make the cut, it will be the second year in a row that they will meet on the stage of the playoffs.

In fact, since Artest won the "Best Defensive Player Award" last year, there has been a very deep beef between the two teams. During the regular season, they almost got into a fight. Now that they are about to meet again, the two sides are also choking each other in advance to warm up for the second round.

It's just that in this way, Philadelphia and the Celtics are a little bit uncomfortable.

No......

We're not eliminated yet, you're already non-existent?

They were angry, but only that way, and nothing else happened.

The situation of the two teams is actually similar, Philadelphia mainly relies on Allen Iverson to play output, and the Celtics mainly rely on Pierce to attack, and the two teams they meet are both teams that are good at team defense, and it is easy to limit them through team strength.

Whether it's Philadelphia or Boston, it's hard to snatch even one win from your opponent.

In the end, the Pistons and Pacers tied up to eliminate their opponents 4-0 and enter the second round of the series.

The competition for fourth and fifth place in the East is a bit fierce, with the first four games played to a 2-2 draw.

Although the Bulls entered the playoffs for the first time, the Wizards actually didn't have much experience in entering the playoffs, and the two "rookie eggs" played the first 4 games at the pace of the regular season.

After watching the game between their two teams, many media have given predictions that the Heat will enter the second round and will easily sweep the opponent and enter the Eastern Conference Finals.

Stan Van Gundy took a look at the reporters' reports and switched back to "serious mode" in seconds.

There are still a few days left until the second round of the series, and if these reporters continue to boast like this, the Heat may have a slack man, and he will not allow such a thing to happen.

On May 2, the Pacers and Pistons series kicked off first.

At the same time, the 4 groups of matchups on the western side finally have a rough outline.

The Suns, who are first in the West, lead the Grizzlies 3-1 and are waiting to return to their home court to win; The Spurs met the Denver Nuggets, and the first two games were unexpectedly in a tough battle, and Carmelo Anthony's stunner helped the Nuggets even win one of them, and this victory made the Nuggets more combative.

It turns out that the Spurs are really afraid that this kind of "single master" will shoot them to death one after another.

However, Carmelo Anthony's overall form is not very consistent, and he immediately contributed a 2-of-13 shooting performance in the game after the final game, and Popovich's ability to adjust the target is really good enough.

The Spurs led 3-1 after four games, but in the fifth, Anthony made a small comeback and scored 25 points, and thanks to teamwork, they pulled the series back to 2-3.

If they can win the next game at home stadium, they have a good chance of playing a "tie-break" with the Spurs.

Carmelo Anthony's reputation in Denver has improved a lot.

His form has been picking up since the All-Star break, and now he has shown it again in the playoffs, and with LeBron James already home fishing, Denver fans are getting more and more in love.

Sure enough, for the fans, as long as you can play well, then no matter how much of a bastard you were before, they will still tolerate you.

The SuperSonics, who took advantage of the division, faced off against the Kings without Chris Webb.

In fact, there is not much difference between the styles of the two teams, that is, the three-point shot is more accurate than which side.

At present, the SuperSonics team has just won the "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" and leads 3-2 by a big score. These are also the only two teams to play the "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" in the first round of the series.

During this time, the league announced the "Best General Manager" and "Best Head Coach" for the season.

The "Best General Manager" award was originally considered by many media to be a scheduled award last summer, but because of the Suns' appearance, the general manager of the Suns has also become a popular candidate.

In the end, Pat Riley narrowly won the award.

However, in the "Best Head Coach" award, the person who had the last laugh became D'Antoni of the Suns.

After all, if you compare these two teams together, the more difficult one is undoubtedly the Suns, who were predicted by some media to not make the playoffs before the start of the new season. But as a result, they hit the first place in the West.

With that alone, this "Best Manager Award" would be hard for anyone else to take away.

Stan Van Gundy doesn't have any regrets, as he already has last year's "Manager of the Season Award" in his hands.

This kind of award, to be honest, one is enough.

In the NBA, there are countless head coaches who have been fired for wearing the "Coach of the Season" hat.

The only head coach who can survive in this league is the "champion coach".

What he needs more now than the "Coach of the Season" is the championship trophy, but when the news came out, he still joked with Woody: "Look, if you can get 70 wins, I can't not get this trophy, this is what you owe me, I want you to make it up to me this season and win the championship trophy!" ”

Woody didn't expect his head coach to be able to pull the two things together like this, but to be honest, he was just running for the championship, so it was another boost to his motivation.

The first game between the Pistons and the Pacers grinded to the last minute, because both sides were strong defensive teams, the score of this game was also very low, 73-71, and the Pistons finally won the first home court by 2 points on their home court.

How intense is this game!

Let's put it this way, the score of 73-71 is the score of the two teams two minutes before the end of the game, and at the last moment, the two sides will be full of confrontation, and the two sides are stunned and do not get a point.

This is also a very key problem for both teams, they are indeed a decisive man at the most critical moment.

The Pistons were in a slightly better situation, they had Billups, so they won by 2 points.

It's just that the Pacers are all unconvinced, waiting for the next game to draw the big score.

"No matter what, we're going to take a win away from home!" These were the words Artest said to the media after the first match.

To what extent the two sides have been fighting, it can be heard from Big Ben's immediate response:

"I bet they won't be able to do it!"

Not even the slightest hesitation.

During the two-man battle, Woody and the Heat finally waited for their second-round opponents.

The Wizards and the Bulls battled for 6 games, and in the end, it was the more mature Arenas who carried the whole game, leading the Wizards to eliminate the Bulls and enter the second round of the playoffs.

Since the game on the Heat's side has long been over, the Wizards, who have played six games, only have one day of rest, and they still have to rush to Miami.

The Heat, who are the No. 1 team in the league, have all the home-court advantage.

In order to have a better rest, after eliminating the Bulls, the Wizards immediately set off for Miami, so even if they entered the second round of the playoffs, they were not too happy.

On the contrary, the mood immediately rose.

It's a well-known thing that getting off one bed and immediately getting on another bed is a very hard thing, unless your name is Ken Shimizu. Otherwise, the Bull Demon King won't be able to bear it.

Now everyone on the Wizards feels that way.

And it is the evolution from a 20-year-old girl to a 30-year-old young woman.

The difficulty increases exponentially!

Except for Arenas.

He has been looked down upon since high school, until he entered the Wizards and enjoyed cheers that he had never felt before, and now he has made himself a representative of Washington.

He hopes to lead the team to make a difference, as "Agent 0".

For this game, many media reporters also believe that the alignment between Wade and Arenas is the key.

If Wade can keep up with Arenas in performance, then the Heat will have absolutely no problem winning the game easily, but if Wade's offensive firepower is not as good as Arenas, then the Heat should have some problems.

The biggest difference between the Wizards and the Nets is that the period in which this team is located is an upward period, not a downward period like the Nets.

They expect to play well, especially once the core of the house is on the rise, it will be very uncomfortable.

Stan Van Gundy is well aware of this, so for Arenas's defensive setup, it is not for Wade to go "1v1" with him.

There's no way around this kind of thing, or it's the way it was used during the regular season.

Going into the playoffs, if there is a more efficient way, then it will definitely not depend on just one person.

This is the coaching philosophy of the "Pat Riley Department" head coach.

The American Airlines arena is back buzzing.

The Miamins present were all extremely excited.

After all, it's been a week since the last time I watched a game at home.

It's been a suffocating time.

They can't wait to see the Heat continue to crush their opponents at home.

This kind of eye-stimulating image is so delightful.

Crazy boos rang out as the Wizards players entered the scene, and the Wizards head coach listened to the boos from the audience, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face. In his impression, the Wizards' home court was not so crazy.

After the city has achieved results, the whole atmosphere is slowly moving towards the atmosphere of "the devil's home field".

He's familiar with this feeling, because the Wizards' home court is also going through this kind of change, but because the results and stars are far less impressive, the overall atmosphere has not changed as much as the Heat.

This has made some newcomers on the Wizards nervous.

Playing in such an environment, you will definitely get nervous, and there is no way around it!

The big screen on the scene showed the starting lineups on both sides, and there were no changes on the Heat's side, while on the Wizards' side, the backcourt combination was Larry Hughes and Arenas, the small forward position was Antoine Jamison, and the interior combination was Jarred Jeffries and Haywood.

The Wizards have changed a lot in the past two years.

The lineup after Jordan's retirement in '03 has so far left only Haywood as a starter.

The other players have joined at various points in the last two years.

In fact, the lineup of this team is almost perfect, Larry Hughes and Arenas attack and defend, and Jamison is also a very fierce guy.

In comparison, the two players on the inside are blue-collar, which is a little less interesting.

Of course, you get what you pay for, and the Wizards' annual salary of 49 million can get such a lineup, and the general manager can be regarded as extraordinary.

This also has a lot to do with the fact that the team boss is not a "both want" player, when you don't have to give an 8 plus 8 player 80 million big contract, you will find that the general manager can still create a reasonable lineup.
