Chapter 440
The seven-game battle between the Miami Heat and the Charlotte Bobcats finally came to an end, and the Bobcats once again went up and down, showing the true colors of the black cats.
The Heat almost killed the defending champion!
The only difference is, Zhao Ke.
The people who eat melons are a little bit regretful, the Heat are too cowardly!
Wouldn't it be enough to kill Shanmao while Zhao Ke was not at home?
Do not wave!
Let you wave, you should!
The Miami Heat and the Charlotte Bobcats are the only rivals who played seven games in the first round, and the other groups in the East have already finished:
The first group, Detroit Pistons 4:0 Orlando Magic.
Emeka Okafor is absent, the Magic has a vacuum inside, and the Pistons are the strongest inside. In addition, the sad McGrady has no desire to fight, so it is normal to be swept away by friction.
Feel sorry for me for 1 minute, another round of tour.
In the second group, the Philadelphia 76ers 4:1 Indiana Pacers.
The Pacers' trade for Artest was a bad move. Peja Stojakovic was not much better than Artest on the offensive end, and he was purely a colander on the defensive end.
The only thing to be thankful for is Peja's character.
He can take the baby face as the core without complaint, become a piece of the puzzle and never blind BB, which Artest cannot do.
However, a bigger hidden danger emerged:
Since Artest was sent away, Stephen Jackson has drifted.
"Wu Sheng" is awakening day by day, and now he feels that he is more suitable to be the leader of the team than that baby face in terms of hard work on and off the field, leadership temperament, and appearance!
He brought this emotion to the locker room, and also to the arena. His teammates stood in line, watched with cold eyes, and told the news, and the Pacers were in disarray...
The aggressive Pacers were beaten by the 76ers in this round. The offensive end was lackluster, and the defensive end was unstoppable for Iverson. Iverson scored 40+ four times in five games!
After achieving Iverson's personal heroism, the Pacers also put themselves into the abyss, and Rick Carlisle has to take the blame!
Pacers general manager Larry Bird pointedly criticized head coach Rick Carlisle for not being tough on the team:
"I think a lot of people have a positive attitude towards Carlisle's coaching work, but in fact he has done a bad job. The players are very talented and know how to play the game. Carlisle is a good coach, but he needs to knead the players together, not just stand on the sidelines!"
With Larry Bird's fart character, since he speaks so unreservedly, it is only a matter of time before Rick Carlisle leaves Indiana.
Earlier, the "New York Daily" and "New York Post" broke the news that due to the failure of Larry Brown's plan to save New York and the New Yorkers' impatience, Knicks president James Dolan is considering suspending the coaching contract for next season.
But Larry Brown has made it clear that he will not resign voluntarily, and the New York Knicks can only seek a buyout, which will be a wrangling battle.
Rick Carlisle may be ahead of Larry Brown!
In the third group, the New Jersey Nets 4:2 the Cleveland Cavaliers.
In the first playoff game of his career, LeBron James got a triple-double:
32 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists.
In six games, the "little emperor" averaged 30.8 points, 8.1 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game, blasting Richard Jefferson, who was facing him, like a rookie!
But basketball is for five people.
The other positions of the Cavaliers have been blasted by the Nets:
Aging Eric Snow can't stop young Jason Kidd;
Thin Larry Hughes is no match for flying Vince Carter;
Drew Gooden was so beaten by Wang Zhizhi that he couldn't even find Bei;
Poor big Z, was almost driven crazy by Jason Collins' various close defenses...
The revolution has not yet succeeded, and the emperor's teammates still need to work hard!
In this way, the opponents in the second round of the Eastern Conference are:
Detroit Pistons vs. New Jersey Nets
Philadelphia 76ers vs Charlotte Bobcats
Look at the first round of the West:
In the first group, the Phoenix Suns 4:0 the Memphis Grizzlies.
This group is the least suspenseful. The Memphis Grizzlies have entered the playoffs for the second time, but they do not have a mature offensive and defensive tactical system.
In the second group, the San Antonio Spurs 4:2 the Sacramento Kings.
The Sacramento Kings, who were promoted to the playoffs by their brothers behind them, were old and strong, and they actually dealt with the San Antonio Spurs for a full six games!
Popovich broke out in a cold sweat, which brought out the old bottom of the Spurs...
The Spurs lost the perimeter gate Tyshawn Prince in the summer, and the newly added Michael Finley is strong offensively and weak defensively.
Not only him, but a bunch of outsiders in the Spurs lineup, including:
Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Michael Finley, Brent Barry, Nick Van Exel
There is no defense level above the passing line!
The chain reaction of Zhao Ke abolishing Bruce Bowen is terrifying...
Throughout the series, the outside line of the Spurs was like the back garden of the Sacramento Kings. Mike Bibby, Artest, and even Bunch Wells all played extremely brilliant data.
Fortunately, no one in the Kings is willing to defend except Artest. Tony Parker, who has no pears, has always maintained a very high offensive efficiency, and the tired Spurs escaped.
The Spurs are so tired!
During this period, Popovich has not yet awakened, and has not started the regular season rotation without discipline and bottom line.
After he suffered a loss this season, he learned how to cheat!
The Spurs have exerted too much force in the regular season this season. Seeing the opportunity to hit the best record in team history and let their name be written in the team history record, why not give it a go?
Although he achieved his wish and achieved the best record in team history of 63 wins and 19 losses, GDP averaged more than 35 minutes per game, which has never happened before.
Especially Tony Parker and Tim Duncan, both played a full 80 games. Ginobili was injured, but he also came back and played 56 games.
Therefore, at the beginning of the first round, the Spurs were exhausted.
With such a patchwork lineup, the king was almost a mess, and Adelman was benevolent, but he was fired by the blind Maruf brothers!
Here's what the evil capitalist says:
It is true that Rick is a rare and meritorious coach. He has achieved achievements that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve. He has brought the Kings to the legendary level and is the coach with the highest winning percentage in the history of the Kings.
The Sacramento Kings have never had anything to do with the perfect, gorgeous Princeton system, and an era is over.
