NBA: There is nothing wrong with bringing a ball in a fight!

Chapter 194 Karl Malone Iron Elbow Revenant Adds Another Person!Poor Kemp!
In the first round of the playoffs this season, the contest between the Bulls and the Pacers can be said to be eye-popping.

With Reggie Miller, the Pacers failed to win even one game, and lost to the Bulls by a big score in every game.

In this series, the Bulls outperformed the Pacers by more than 20 points per game, and Shan Zi's personal data is also quite terrifying, averaging 32.5 points per game, and his playing time is only 29 minutes.

Of course, in addition to Danzi's outstanding performance, what's more important is that they have Barkley, a big killer inside, who can basically walk sideways in the Pacers' inside.

Therefore, Barkley's personal data in this series is also quite brilliant, averaging 22.5+20.5 double 20 data per game.

As for Pippen, he is relatively low-key. In the first round of the playoffs, he averaged only ten points per game, but his assists were in double figures.

Just looking at the personal data of the Big Three of the Bulls, one can clearly see how strong their overall strength is.

In addition, the Bulls' defense made the Pacers players feel suffocated, especially their head star Reggie Miller, who was directly locked up by Pippen and Danzi in turn, averaging only poor 15 marks.

Therefore, when fans seriously analyze this round of the playoffs, they will find that it is not surprising that the Bulls swept the Pacers.

Although the Bulls easily swept the Pacers in the first round, the players on their team were very calm and acted quite low-key.

When the reporter asked what they thought about the second round, Danzi just said calmly:
"Our task is to play every game well, and we don't care about the rest!"

Even Barkley, who has always had a big mouth, showed a very humble attitude this time:

"You know, being teammates with Michael and Scottie makes it so much easier to win."

At the same time, when the Bulls swept the Pacers, the Lakers in the west also easily swept the Suns out.

In this series between the Lakers and the Suns, it can only be said that everything is under control, and the fans have no illusions about this series at all.

The strength of the Suns itself is not very good, and the current Lakers have been strengthened, so it is expected that the Lakers will sweep the Suns.

Ye Qingchen's performance in the first round could only be said to be barely passable. On the basis of averaging 25 minutes per game, he was able to score a triple-double of 26.8+12.4+12.5, and his efficiency was quite astonishing.

Of course, Ye Qingchen's performance is definitely not enough to reflect his value to the team, because there is another big-name star Olajuwon in the Lakers, and Olajuwon was also quite good in the first round. Excellent, averaging 28+15 large double-doubles per game.

Therefore, after the two favorite teams to win the first round of the playoffs, fans can't wait to see the start of the second round.

One more thing, the Orlando Magic with O'Neal showed his absolute dominance in the interior in the series against the Atlanta Hawks.

The Magic defeated the Eagles with a 4-2 record and successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

In this series, O'Neal averaged 36.8 points and 18.8 rebounds per game. This is the most important factor for the Magic to enter the Eastern Conference semifinals.

So, after the favorites to win the championship have easily passed the first round of the playoffs, the second round of the playoffs finally started. The matchups are as follows:

The teams that entered the Eastern Conference semifinals were the Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, Orlando Magic, and Boston Celtics.

So, the matchups for the Eastern Conference semifinals are:
Chicago Bulls VS Boston Celtics, New York Knicks VS Orlando Magic.

The teams that advanced to the Western Conference Semifinals are:

Los Angeles Lakers, Seattle SuperSonics, Utah Jazz, Portland Trail Blazers.

So the matchups in the Western Conference semifinals are the Los Angeles Lakers VS Portland Trail Blazers, Seattle SuperSonics VS Utah Jazz.

After the matchup between the East and West semifinals was released, the playoffs finally entered the bayonet stage.

The series between the Bulls and the Boston Celtics has attracted the attention of many fans, and even the teams in the Western Conference semifinals have set their sights on this series.

You know, the strength of the Boston Celtics is also quite good. Although "Big Bird" Larry Bird has retired, there are also "Chief" Parish and "Refrigerator" McHale. Very strong.

Therefore, their first series directly caused the ratings to skyrocket.

Everyone thought that this would be a very exciting and exciting match, but the result was once again beyond everyone's expectations.

From the first quarter of the game, Danzi and Barkley entered the attack mode, and their internal and external cooperation directly impacted the Celtics' defense to a pulp.

Especially Barkley, after he received the ball inside, all the "chiefs" and "refrigerators" were knocked out by his big butt, and then easily scored.

The inside line that the Celtics rely on for survival was directly penetrated by Barkley alone.

As for the outside line, Danzi also frantically showed off his precise mid-range. The Celtics lost both inside and outside lines at the same time, and they had no power to parry at all.

Therefore, after the end of the first game, the Bulls have already led the Celtics by as much as 15 points, and this game has begun to lose suspense.

It wasn't until this time that the fans began to realize what a terrible team the Chicago Bulls were. The Big Three they had had already achieved a situation where they could move sideways in the league.

In the end, the Bulls also easily defeated the Celtics and won their first victory in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

After this game, many fans have speculated that in this series, the Bulls will win the series again with a crushing attitude.

Turning our attention to the Orlando Magic and the New York Knicks, this series finally gave the fans some relief, because the two sides played full of gunpowder in the first game.

The play styles of the New York Knicks and the Magic are actually quite similar. Both sides launch offenses based on inside players.

The difference is that Ewing of the Knicks can not only score in the paint, he can even pull out to the mid-range to score shots, so the Magic will be quite entangled in defending Ewing.

If they shrink their defense, Ewing will float to the middle distance to shoot and score easily.

But if they expand their defense to defend Ewing, Ewing will decisively attack the inside with the ball, causing fouls by the Magic's inside players, and then walk to the free throw line.

Therefore, the Magic's defense can't help Ewing at all.

Compared with Ewing's smart play, O'Neal's play is much slower.

As we all know, O'Neal does not have a basket, so when the Knicks players defended O'Neal, they constantly defended him around the front to prevent him from easily receiving the pass from his teammates, so as to limit O'Neal's inside lethal.

Although there is nothing wrong with this defensive tactic, they still underestimated O'Neal's strength. As long as he wants to get in position and ask for the ball, no one can really defend him around the front, and neither can Ewing.

Therefore, the inside line of the Knicks was smashed by O'Neal alone, and even Ewing lost a lot of personal fouls.

Because of this, the score of this game has been very stalemate. Until the last minute of the game, the two sides still tied at 1, and Ewing and O'Neal have already committed five personal fouls.

At the last minute of the offense, the Knicks players still handed the ball to Ewing. Ewing made a mid-range shot under O'Neal's hard-fought defense. After O'Neal got the rebound and passed the ball to his teammates, he went crazy towards He ran wildly to the front field.

At this time, the advantages of youth were revealed. O'Neal still had fuel in his fuel tank, but Ewing had little left.

In the end, O'Neal's efforts were also rewarded. He quickly rushed to the inside, and his teammates directly threw the ball high. O'Neal caught the basketball firmly and dunked it into the basket, completing the overtake of the score!

It was an alley-oop dunk in the semifinals!
In the end, there were four seconds left for the Knicks. In the end, Ewing failed to tie the score and lost the game!
Therefore, the Magic took the lead in this series and won the first game.

O'Neal personally scored a super large double-double with 45 points and 22 rebounds, which amazed the fans who followed the game.

After this game, there were calls for the Magic to win the championship.

Because O'Neal's performance in the playoffs is not like a rookie who just entered the league, his dominance in the interior is too strong.

Even the Bulls players felt this sense of urgency, so they gradually began to exert their strength in the next series.

As the Bulls continued to exert their strength, the Celtics had no way to fight back at all, and the final result was of course swept out by the Bulls.

Another sweep!

In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Bulls once again easily defeated their opponents and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals with their heads held high.

Now, the Bulls are really sitting back and watching, because the Knicks and Magic have reached a 2-2 tie.

If the game continues like this, it is very likely that there will be a tiebreaker, because the strengths of the two sides are quite close, and the only variable is the stars of the two teams.

The story is divided into two parts, the situation on the east side is gradually clear, but the situation on the west side is overwhelming.

The first is the series between the Lakers and the Trail Blazers. You must know that this matchup is a repeat of last season's Western Conference Finals.

Although the Lakers' lineup has changed a lot at this time, the Trail Blazers' lineup still maintains the strength of last season.

Therefore, many fans feel that although the Trail Blazers may not be able to defeat the Lakers to enter the Western Conference Finals at this time, they can at least win one or two games against the Lakers.

However, the final result was still beyond the expectations of many fans. In this series, the Lakers started to exert their strength, and the Trail Blazers did not have any power to fight back. They lost an average of more than 30 points in four games. Let the fans feel quite powerless.

While the Lakers swept the Trail Blazers here, the Utah Jazz over there also unexpectedly swept the Seattle SuperSonics.

Originally, in the eyes of many fans, the Jazz and the Supersonics are of equal strength, and they will definitely play inseparable.

However, this series did not follow the script that the fans thought in their minds. The Supersonics with Kemp and Payton couldn't match the combination of Stockton and Karl Malone.

In this series, Karl Malone can be said to have killed the Quartet. He had the advantage in the matchup with Kemp, and he directly broke up the Sonics' defense with a pick-and-roll.

Of course, this series between the Jazz and the Supersonics did have a lot of controversial penalties, and there were even a lot of conflicts in the game, especially the constant friction between Kemp and Karl Malone.

Fans who have watched this series can clearly find that Karl Malone did have various small moves during the game. He constantly harassed Kemp, which made Kemp very annoying.

But even so, when Kemp complained to the referee, what he got was the referee's indifference, which made Kemp even more depressed.

In the fourth game of this series, when the game entered the fourth quarter, the scores of the two sides were always biting, and even the Sonics maintained a 3-point lead.

When it was the Jazz's turn to attack, Stockton and Karl Malone once again cooperated in the pick-and-roll. After covering the screen, Karl Malone quickly cut inside, and Stockton passed the ball to him with a precise ground-hitting pass.

Kemp had already seen the pick-and-roll cooperation between them in advance, and he appeared on Karl Malone's path accurately, and he wanted to cause Karl Malone's offensive foul.

As everyone knows, when Karl Malone saw Kemp standing in front of him, he didn't slow down or dodge because of this, and even rushed directly towards Kemp's body.

Of course, the end result is that people are turned on their backs, and Kemp was directly knocked out of the bottom line by Karl Malone.

It's a pity that the slow-motion at this time is not very clear. Only Kemp can clearly perceive that when Karl Malone hit him, his pair of iron elbows directly pressed against his chest hard.

Therefore, when Karl Malone and Kemp collided, Kemp felt severe pain in his chest, which was the pain of broken ribs!

The referee's whistle sounded, Karl Malone made an offensive foul, and Kemp achieved his goal, but he could no longer continue the game!
When Kemp clutched his chest and was helped back to the locker room by his teammates, Karl Malone had a cruel sneer on his face.
The western semifinals are all over, the record is 4-0, and the opponents of the western finals are finally determined!
Los Angeles Lakers VS Utah Jazz!
