The New York Hans' journey for the 96-97 season is over, but the NBA championship is not over yet.

The first is the Eastern Conference finals. The Miami Heat played against the Chicago Bulls. This game really did not have much attention. The reason is simple. The Bulls are completely strong and strong. Jordan still has a lot of oil. He was almost driven into desperation by the Chinese. The Heat don't hold the bricks!

The Heat consumed too much energy by the Hans in the knockout stage, and they can no longer compete with the powerful Bulls.

So in the East, no one is optimistic that the Heat can make a comeback. Even if the Heat’s coach is the famous coach Pat Riley, don’t forget that the Bulls also have a famous coach. Phil Jackson is no better than Pat Riley. Riley difference.

The time and place are right and the people are right, and the Heat have not taken advantage of it. It is conceivable that what awaits them is the destiny of being eliminated.

Sure enough! The Bulls eliminated the Heat with a total score of 4:1 and got tickets to the finals.

In the Eastern Conference finals, the Bulls VS the Heat. It’s interesting to say that Pat Riley is a fortune teller. I don’t know if he has watched the stars for himself at night, and figure out why he always can’t get around the Bulls. Just as he walked away, the Bulls won the championship on the Lakers bones in 1991 ; When coaching the Knicks, I saw the Bulls once wiped out once; when I moved to Miami, I still couldn't avoid the Bulls, and I couldn't avoid failure. This time Pat Riley had a wonderful start. The Heat took the lead in the first half of the first game, and the situation changed in the second half. Jordan scored 37 points in the audience and counterattacked. The 84:77 reversal made a good start. The Bulls opened the defensive net and got a 3-0 lead in one go. In the third game, the Heat only made 21 goals and scored a 24 point victory. In the second game, Jordan made only 4 of 15 shots, but made 16 free throws. This alone scored 15 points. Pat Riley was so angry that he was too relaxed after holding the match point. After a round of golf, he only made 9 of 35 shots in Game 4. Tim Hardaway scored 5 three-pointers and scored 25 points, helping the Heat to regain a game. In Game 5, he scored 27 points, but he couldn’t. Stop the bulls from firing the goddess across the board. The Bulls advanced to the finals at 100:87.

But it's not bad for the Heat. Pat Riley can bring a junk team to the Eastern Conference finals two years after joining the Heat. The coach is worthy of being a coach, and the coaching ability is indeed lacking.

Regarding this, both the owner Mickey Allison and the whole team are quite satisfied with this. Of course, this refers to the fact that it is true in terms of performance. They also know that facing the current Bulls, whether it is the ball in the East. The team can't compete anymore. If you lose, you will lose. Faced with such a powerful Bull, it is reasonable to be eliminated.

But as far as the process is concerned, the Heat’s performance in the series against the Hans fell through everyone’s eyes and disappointed everyone who supported the Heat. Facing the broken Hans, they even let the opponent win two games. This is not justified, right? If it weren't for the league's suspension of three Han Chinese players in this round of the series, maybe the Heat would really not be able to pass the Han Chinese hurdle!

In any case, the Heat's results must be real. There is nothing to say, but neither the Heat's internal players nor the management, including owner Mickey Allison, said a word after the end of the season.

Why, it's not that you are afraid of losing face. This is the Heat eliminated the Hans. If the Hans finally come back, it is estimated that the Heat will be able to hide for a while, so as not to be scolded by local fans.

...

On the other hand, in the Western Conference, the Utah Jazz played against the Houston Rockets in the Western Conference Finals.

It's equivalent to the name of the Eastern Conference that has already determined to enter the Finals. The Western Conference is more interesting, because no one knows who the Jazz and Rockets can have the last laugh? !

In fact, the reason is very simple, because the strength of the two teams is still relatively similar. Although the Jazz has achieved impressive results in the regular season, can the playoffs and the regular season be concepts? Obviously not. You need to know the Rockets’ "three olds" "The combination is not a dry meal. These three veterans are only better than the Jazz's "trident" in terms of fame and strength. It's really hard to say that the two teams really fight.

In the Western Conference Finals, the Jazz VS Rockets, the Jazz coach Jerry Sloan was so cunning and so old that he used the strategy of pinching Barkley and Drexler. As a result, Olajuwon scored 30 points in the first two games, but suffered. Without help, the Rockets suffered heavy losses and fell behind 0-2. In Game 3, Rockets head coach Tomjanovic also made a surprise move, giving veteran Eddie Johnson an important role. This 38-year-old veteran really became the deadly X factor. He scored 31 points in 28 minutes and the Rockets pulled back 118:110. One round. The magic of Eddie Johnson continues. Of course, Jerry Sloan will not repeat the same mistakes. The fourth game specially arranges tactics to restrict the old Eddie Johnson, who enjoys special preferential treatment and fails to recover. God should have made this veteran deliberately-after the 92 draw, the Rockets held the last offense, and the ball came to Johnson's hands, so he hit a great three-pointer at the buzzer. You know, Eddie Johnson only scored 4 points in 24 minutes before his last shot. After overdrawing his hand and luck, the old Johnson made 2 of 7 shots in the 5th game, and missed all 4 three-pointers. The Rockets fell into the dead end of Olajuwon (33 points and 10 rebounds) alone, and lost Tianwangshan at 91:96. After Barkley made two free throws in the 6th game, the two sides tied for 100. At this time, there were 2.8 seconds left before the end of the fourth quarter. What's interesting is that it was Barkley who threw out the defense.

And the final winner is the Jazz. Of course, the Jazz 4-2 Rockets score does not explain how bad the Rockets are. It cannot be compared with the Eastern Heat and the Rockets. It is not comparable. The Rockets’ “three old” combination is indeed not bad. , But with the increase in age and the depth of the team's bench is not as thick as the Jazz, it is basically in the league's first echelon ranks.

Coupled with the command transfer of Tom Shuai, I believe that if the team increases the depth of the bench next season, it will be no problem to pass the Jazz. After all, the owner of the Rockets is not the stingy guy Alexander, but Tillman Fei. Altita, this guy has money!

Then there is the Jazz. They finally got what they wanted after three hateful Western finals in 1992, 1994 and 1996, and got the last ticket to the finals.

It’s really not easy. You must know that since Jerry Sloan coached the Jazz, he has never been so bad. They have been vying for tickets to the Western Conference Finals every year. They have finally made it this season. , But then I thought that a big pie fell from the sky and I went straight to the finals. You said that people can still be happy!
