The Fifth Point Guard

When Shen Tong jumped up again, the Pacers guys just stood there and watched.

Why?

Because of this game, the Chinese player was almost flying and playing in the air.

If it weren't for taking two steps in the air, everyone would doubt whether he would have dunked the ball directly with a flying posture.

The Shentong that took off first bowed its body, and then suddenly unfolded!

A pair of phoenix wings faintly appeared behind Shen Tong.

People seem to see the Nirvana Phoenix that has been emitting flames, soaring into the sky!

"boom"

Shentong dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.

The score was 78-58, and the Nets had already led by 20 points at home.

In the first game, the Nets at home beat the Pacers 118-88 by 30 points!

Before the game, many critics believed that the Pacers after the trade would bring huge trouble to the Nets.

However, judging from the first game of the battle between the two sides, the Pacers were almost powerless to fight back.

It was completely rubbed on the ground by the Nets.

After the big victory, the Nets seemed to vent their grievances.

Even Byron Scott, who can hold his breath, "Oye" after the game.

It was the Nets' first playoff victory in four years.

30 points is also the largest victory margin achieved by the Nets in the playoffs in the past 10 years.

They responded to those who underestimated him with a brilliant performance in Game 1 of the playoffs.

But Scott and his disciples know that this is only the first game.

The young Nets didn't give the Pacers any chance.

The so-called empiricism is just an afterthought and the wishful thinking of some football critics.

Otherwise, how could there be stories like "Kaiserslautern" and "Leicester City".

In fact, this season's Nets themselves are the best evidence.

Except for Jason Kidd, who is a bit old, the other core players are all first- and second-year rookies. Even the "older" Van Horn and Kidders have only played in the league for 4 years at most.

In the first round of the playoffs, the Nets defeated the Pacers 3-0. The battle was resolved in three games, leaving no suspense for this round of the game.

When the Nets raised their arms and cheered in the away game, Reggie Miller, who had his hands on his hips and looked helpless, couldn't do anything.

This era no longer belongs to us.

However.

He turned his head and looked at the young teammates around him.

Brad Miller, Jermaine O'Neal, Artest, Tinsley, Al Harrington.

The future of this Pacers team remains promising.

At a certain moment, the word "retirement" came to Miller's mind, but at this moment, he felt that he needed to stay here.

The young Pacers need a soul.

When these young people can take over the Pacers' banner, they will retreat safely.

Without congratulating the Nets players on the opposite side, Reggie Miller left a sad back and walked back to the player tunnel.

Although the game was lost, there was still number 25 on the bed.

After the first round of the playoffs, only 8 of the 16 teams remained.

The Eastern Conference's No. 1 Nets beat the Pacers 3-0.

The second-ranked Pistons in the East relied on the prestige of the regular season awards and locked the Hornets firmly with a suffocating defense.

The Charlotte Hornets' dynamic outside trio in the regular season: Jamal Mashburn, Baron Davis, David Wesley and others, misfired one after another in the playoffs.

3-1, the Pistons only allowed the Hornets to win one victory at home, and the other games were firmly in their hands.

The game between the Celtics and the Toronto Raptors is the most competitive matchup in the first round.

In the first four games, the two sides each won two home games.

Pierce, Anthony Walker and Vince Carter battled it out.

Originally, the level difference between Pierce and Carter was only a few millimeters, and with the addition of a fat head, the balance of victory began to tilt towards the Celtics.

In the fifth game of Tianwangshan, Walker threw 4 three-pointers from the outside to assist Pierce, who scored 24 points, and led the team to defeat Carter.

87-83, the Celtics struggled to beat the Raptors at home, narrowly beating their opponents with a total score of 3-2 and advancing to the second round.

The match between the Magic and the 76ers, which was originally considered the most competitive, was surprisingly one-sided.

The Magic beat the 76ers 3-0.

In this series, Grant Hill and Tracy McGrady have been a formidable front line, completely dominating the court on both ends of the floor.

The duo can guard any position on the perimeter, even occasionally going inside to guard opposing bigs.

The lone hero Iverson lost himself in this round.

In the third game, Iverson even missed 10 shots in the last three quarters, scored 7 points only by free throws, and finally scored only 13 points in the game.

Such a performance obviously cannot lead the 76ers to go further.

After experiencing this game, the Philadelphia 76ers team has an undercurrent surging.

Mutombo is already somewhat dissatisfied with Iverson's individual performance and coach Larry Brown's tactical system with Iverson as the core.

He wants to leave.

Entering the second round of the playoffs, the Magic will face the New Jersey Nets played by Shen Tong.

The powerful Magic is an opponent that no team wants to meet in advance.

Of course, so did the Nets.

But at least, McGrady has crossed the first round of the playoffs. It seems that in this time and space, the curse of the first round of the playoffs will not become the pressure on McGrady's shoulders.

Not to mention that in order to break through the first round, under heavy psychological pressure, there will be no such thing as forced to play in the closed game.

Western Union side.

The Kings beat the aging Utah Jazz 3-1.

The Utah duo, who were all-powerful at the time, seemed a little powerless in front of the gorgeous and smooth Kings. The only victory was a 95-94 1-point victory.

This season, Karl Malone is still able to average 22.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.9 steals per game. John Stockton can also contribute 13.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1.9 steals per game. From the data point of view Still at the level of a first-class star, but they no longer have the dominance to control the game.

As Reggie Miller lamented, their time has passed.

However, as a western cowboy, even if he is defeated, Malone will still leave the court with his head held high.

At the last moment of the regular season, the Spurs, who beat the Lakers to the second place in the Western Conference, almost overturned the gutter. When they faced Gary Payton, Rashard Lewis, Brent Barry and Radmanovich , almost died in their fierce three-point fire.

In this round of the series, the Seattle SuperSonics shot 40% of the team's three-pointers, and it feels terrible.

However, relying on a mature style of play and home court advantage, the steady Spurs still managed to get through 3-2.

The other two rounds were originally considered to be very competitive matchups. The Lakers vs. Trail Blazers and the Mavericks vs. Timberwolves all showed a one-sided situation.

The Lakers defeated the Trail Blazers 3-0, and the Mavericks defeated the Timberwolves 3-0.

Even with a luxurious lineup of Rasheed Wallace, Bunch Wells, Damon Stoudemire, Scottie Pippen, Sean Kemp and others, the Trail Blazers still Swept by the Lakers.

The Sharks, who woke up in the playoffs, killed the Blazers inside.

In his words, the Lakers in the playoffs are completely different from the Lakers in the regular season.

Obviously, they are determined to win the three consecutive championships!

Timberwolves roster with Kevin Garnett, Wally Szczerbiak, Chauncey Billups, Joe Smith, Rasu Nesterovic compared to Trail Blazers Not inferior at all, but after the Mavericks' Musketeers fired indiscriminately, the Timberwolves discovered that they were so vulnerable.

After the first round of the playoffs, the rosters for the second round have all been generated.

New Jersey Nets VS Orlando Magic;

Detroit Pistons vs Boston Celtics.

Satramento Kings VS Dallas Mavericks;

San Antonio Spurs VS Los Angeles Lakers.
