NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade
Chapter 205 The prologue to the end of the era
Chapter 205 The prologue to the end of the era
110: 70!
In the end, this match without any suspense, this match that set the direction of the match from the beginning, finally came to an end!
The second half of this game became a painful ordeal for everyone.
The Pacers players have to endure the boredom of being abused, the Cavaliers players have been completely beaten to the point of being in a daze, and the fans at Quicken Loans Center came with expectations, but only received full disappointment.
In other words, the fans in front of the TV can change the channel early and don't have to endure this completely boring game.
After this game, the Pacers advanced to the second round of the playoffs with a huge score of 3:0 and a fierce victory of almost 3 points in 100 games!
In the remaining 7-round series in the entire league, only the Bulls led by Michael Jordan and the returning Pippen, like the Pacers, advanced by sweeping their opponents 3:0 in straight sets. Second round.
Even the Bulls, in their series against the Nets, only won by less than 15 points per game!
They defeated the Nets by a total of 42 points in three games, which was only 2 points more than the Pacers' defeat in the last game.
If we only talk about the team that wins the hardest, plays the hardest, and advances the easiest, it is definitely the Pacers!
Because, the Nets still put up some resistance. For example, in the first game of the series, they beat the Bulls by 10 points in the fourth quarter, dragging the game into overtime, and only lost by 3 points in the end. !
Although there were 3 games, they only put up some resistance in the first game, and the next two games were all defeats!
But there is always resistance!Compared to the Cavaliers, they have much more face!
In the remaining rounds of the series, the Jazz, the boss of the Western Conference, faced the Rockets, the eighth team in the Western Conference and their old opponent in last year's Western Conference Finals. Everyone originally thought that the team was almost unable to walk anymore and even had serious injuries. The Rockets have reached their limit and they will not pose any threat to the Jazz.
But when the game actually started, Tomjanovich once again showed everyone why they were called the unbeatable Texas Cockroaches!
The Rockets beat the Jazz by 13 points in their first away game in Salt Lake City, the first game of the series. They easily stole a victory from the away game, surprising the Salt Lake City people who originally underestimated the opponent.
Then in the third game of the series, the Rockets were united and defended their first home game. Not only did they get a 2:1 lead, they also had a match point!
At the same time, the fourth game of the series will also be played at the Rockets’ home court!
Just when everyone was looking forward to the Rockets making history and performing a miracle for everyone, the Jazz finally woke up. They won a 93:71 away game. On defense, only Olajuwon and Drexler scored in double figures on the Rockets team!
而虽然奥拉朱旺高效拿下27分15个篮板,但德雷克斯勒却是11投2中只拿到11分,可以说是表现无比糟糕。
Even if Drexe makes 11 of 2 shots, he is still the second-highest scorer and second-best performer on the entire Rockets team. How bad the remaining players on the Rockets played tonight and how bad their condition is. It’s evident!
Back in Salt Lake City, the Jazz, who had escaped being eliminated in Houston, would certainly not give the Rockets any more chances. They were already in good shape and once again locked up Drexler, the Rockets' second-in-command. He defended only 13 of 1 shots in the game!
Drexler's nightmare-like performance in two consecutive games became the biggest culprit for the Rockets' failure to create a black eight miracle. This former second-best outside line in the league showed his age in this series, regardless of Whether facing Russell or Hornacek, he gave people a lifeless feeling.
Due to injuries, age, mentality and feeling for the game, Drexler is completely different from his younger self.
And at the press conference after the game, Drexler looked blank and said into the microphone: "I think it's time to let the glider land! I have been gliding in the air for 16 seasons. It’s time to find an airport and land properly, so I decided to officially retire!”
Drexler's retirement announcement came suddenly and without warning. Before he officially expressed his stance, although everyone knew that the day when the glider would officially land was not far away, no one thought that this day would come so quickly. , so early, and so suddenly!
After all, Drexler can still contribute 18+5+5 in the regular season this season. Although his condition is indeed not as good as when he was young, as the second leader of a championship team, he is indeed somewhat unqualified. But everyone still didn't expect that he would announce his retirement directly after two bad performances in the playoffs.
Before saying these words, Drexler's expression was solemn and tangled.
This all-around forward who has accumulated 22195 points, 6125 assists, 6677 rebounds, and 2207 steals in his career, this ace who once supported the entire Portland team with fast breaks and dunks, this once made the Blazers management say: The 'glider' of "We already have Clyde, so we don't need to choose Jordan" landed tonight!
In addition to those statistics, Drexler also left behind a resume of 10 All-Stars, 5 All-NBA Teams, and 1 championship.
His career may not be very dazzling, but it is absolutely brilliant. He has left countless indelible perfect memories for the fans, and also left himself one moment after another worth remembering.
But no matter what... no matter whether people miss him or not, Clyde Drexler chose to leave.
Another superstar has left the league!
With the departure of Drexler, the Rockets next season will only have the 36-year-old Olajuwon left. No matter how strong the 'Big Dream' is, they can only get 41 wins this season and finish third. The Rockets, who have qualified for the playoffs in eighth place, will most likely not be able to enter the playoffs next season.
Although Olajuwon has not retired yet, everyone knows that his glory has passed and his era has also come to an end.
The other round of the Western Conference that reached the tiebreaker was the old-new showdown between the SuperSonics and the Timberwolves. The mature, powerful and stable SuperSonics won 61 games this season, while the Timberwolves, under the leadership of Garnett and Marbury, He has also shown amazing talent and plasticity.
Like the Rockets and Jazz, the two sides tied 2:1 in the first three games of the series, and both teams were in the lead!
In the fourth home game, the Timberwolves also have the opportunity to close the game and win the series, and advance to the second round for the first time in team history!
In the fourth game of the series, the two sides played a very high-level duel!
The scores between the two sides were extremely close throughout the game, with neither side ever leading by more than 10 points. 70% of the time, the points difference between the two sides was within 5 points!
The score between the two sides was always staggered, and no one was able to open up the score. Both sides played at the top level and gave their all!
However, in this kind of crazy and physical game between the two sides, it is the veteran and experienced Sonics that has the upper hand and seizes the opportunity. What is more critical and determines this series is Gary Payton. !
Although Payton was always beaten by Lin Tian, and his nickname of "Fingerless Glove" was even called bad by many people, it was just that he couldn't guard Lin Tian when he faced Lin Tian.
Stephon Marbury?
This talented guard of the 96 generation is not on the list that Payton can't deal with!
系列赛第四战,佩顿18投10中轰下24分6篮板8助攻的全面数据,而和他对位的马布里仅仅16投4中,只拿下10分,虽然送出7个助攻,但失误也高达5次!
The final score between the two sides was 92:88, with the SuperSonics narrowly winning by 4 points.
It can be said that in this game with a very small point difference and a very anxious game, if Marbury performs a slightly normal performance, even if it is only a 30% shooting rate, the Timberwolves may be able to win this series. Got it!
And Marbury's nightmare was obviously not just tonight. Two days later, the two sides moved to Seattle for a tiebreaker. This night, Marbury made only 10 of 2 shots, only scored 7 points and 8 assists, and once again sent 5 A mistake!
Payton, who faced him, once again made 17 of 10 shots and scored a game-high 29 points!
Absolute face-to-face and point-to-point explosions!
Facing Payton, Marbury was beaten like a high school student who just learned to play basketball, with almost no power to fight back!
In addition, Garnett also lost his sense this night. He only made 11 of 3 shots and scored only 7 points. He also had 10 turnovers that were close to the NBA's historical record!
When the team's two most important core players are playing so poorly at the same time, the Timberwolves' desire to win is tantamount to wishful thinking.
As a result of this tiebreaker, the SuperSonics reversed the series with a 97:84 victory and successfully entered the second round of the series!
What impressed everyone the most in this series was undoubtedly Payton's perfect restriction on Marbury!
In 5 games, Marbury's shooting percentage was less than 4% in 30 games, he scored more than 15 points in only one game, and he also made 5 turnovers in three games!
Only in the second game of the series, Marbury made 21 of 9 shots to regain a little face for himself!
And Payton not only completely guarded Marbury, but also turned this league's new generation of talented point guards into high school students. On the offensive end, he also showed an almost perfect state. In 5 games, he shot 50% from the field. , averaging 26 points per game, taught Marbury a good lesson on both offense and defense!
Payton also used this series to prove that he is still one of the best point guards in the league!You can even call him the second point guard in the league!
Except for Lin Tian, no current No. 1 position is better than Payton!
What awaits the Sonics in the Western Conference semifinals is the Los Angeles Lakers, who defeated the Trail Blazers in the first round with a score of 3:1 and sent them out of the playoffs!
Although the Lakers did not sweep their opponents in the first round, O'Neal used top statistics of 29+11.8+2.5 and a terrifying shooting rate of over 65% in the first round to make everyone feel his dominance and destructive power!
Although the Trail Blazers' Rasheed, Stoudemire, Leder and others risked their lives to resist, facing the Lakers' four All-Stars led by O'Neal, they really could not make any effective resistance and win a game. After maintaining their face, they bid farewell to this season together with their former star Drexler.
The final round of the Western Conference matchup comes from the Spurs twin towers versus the Suns dual-control!
The lineups of these two teams are very interesting. The Suns' two major stars are the star point guards Jason Kidd and Kevin Johnson, while the Spurs' two major stars are Duncan and Robinson. The twin tower combination that formed a team for one year!
Twin towers versus dual controllers sounded interesting and very gimmicky, but when the game started, everyone immediately discovered that the gimmick was just a gimmick after all!
The Suns' weak inside line simply couldn't withstand the successive attacks from the Spurs' twin towers, and they couldn't even stop the impact of Spurs guard 'Little General' Avery Johnson!
In 4 games, the Suns had almost no chance. Like the Trail Blazers, they were easily sent out of the playoffs by the Spurs!
In this series, the inside duo of Duncan and Robinson can jointly score a terrifying 40.6 points, 26 rebounds, and 6.6 blocks...
The power of these two twin towers is definitely the best in the league today!The Spurs' old-young inside duo also shows people the infinite possibilities!
It is worth mentioning that just after this series, the former pride of the Suns and Barkley's old buddy, former All-Star point guard Kevin Johnson, nicknamed 'Lightning', also announced his retirement!
He said that he will not play for any team again next season. His career is over!
The 'glider' that has been gliding for 16 years has landed.
The 'lightning' that never stopped running back and forth on the court finally stopped.
No matter how reluctant and regretful the Phoenix people are, everything Johnson has brought to them will become history. With Johnson's departure, the two sets of matchups in the second round of the NBA Western Conference have been determined!
Second round of the Western Conference: Lakers VS SuperSonics!Jazz VS Spurs!
Compared to the two groups in the Western Conference, where both teams reached tiebreaker and almost defeated the superior team, the Eastern team was much more exciting!
Because the Seven Black Miracles really happened!
The grudge match and rematch between the Knicks and Heat started as scheduled. Ever since the two sides had a serious brawl in the Eastern Conference semifinals last year, and the Knicks suffered a big loss and were eliminated as a result, the war of words between the two sides has never stopped. Pass!
It is no exaggeration to say that these two teams have the deepest hatred for each other in the league today!
In this series, both sides are playing on the court with the idea of killing their opponents!
The worst thing for the Knicks is that just before the start of this series, the wrist injury of Patrick Ewing, the absolute core of their team, recurred again!The injury that had plagued Ewing all year came to him again at the most critical moment.
No matter how helpless Ewing was, he could only accept the team doctor's opinion and hang up the exemption card!
This recurrence was diagnosed by the team doctor and he needs to rest for at least 2-4 weeks!In other words, no matter how this series progresses or how it ends, Ewing can only be a spectator and cannot appear in the game.
Ewing's complete reimbursement has made the battle and grudge match that everyone was expecting a bit boring. Almost no one still thinks that the Knicks without Ewing can beat the Heat. Many people even think that this time the Knicks, I'm afraid I'm going to be swept away!
But as the series began, fans discovered they were wrong!
The intensity of this round of competition this year was even more exciting than the previous year!
The Knicks, who did not have Ewing but had everyone on their side and played a crazy, fierce and tough style, faced the Heat, which was composed of Hardaway and Mourning, a pair of internal and external stars!
During the series, it seemed like the two sides had made an appointment.
It's one game for you and one for me. One person wins the other. Both sides go back and forth without giving in to each other. There is almost no garbage time in this series. Both sides fully maximize the intensity, confrontation and suspense!
This round of the series is definitely the most exciting and exciting of all the games in the first round!
The Heat won first at home, and then the Knicks stole the home court in the second game in Miami. Before the New Yorkers had time to be happy, the Heat captured Madison Square in Game [-] and won the game. point.
Then came the most exciting fourth game of the series. In this game, the two sides fought and fought hard from the first second of the game. The intensity of the game was no different from a fighting game. Players from both sides were all killed. Red eyes!
The score difference between the two sides was locked from the first second, and neither one could get away from the other!
With a score difference of about 5 points, players from both sides fought back and forth until the last moment of the game.
And at the last moment of this game, what the whole of New York was most looking forward to and hoping to happen finally happened!
Larry Johnson, who defended Mourning tonight and was completely beaten by Mourning. Although he was beaten, his mouth was very poisonous!
Although Mourning made 14 of 11 shots tonight and scored 29 points in a super efficient manner, Larry Johnson has been spraying from the 8th generation of Mourning's ancestors to the next [-] generations!
When the two were teammates in the Hornets, they disliked each other. They were tit-for-tat for the position of boss. Now that they each have their own master, they have a clear excuse to fight against the enemy.
Johnson's mouth made Mourning dizzy and his nose was so angry that he sprayed it!
And until the last 3 seconds of the game, when the Knicks finally led by 5 points and the overall situation was decided, Johnson once again told Mourning that he was a bastard who slept with his mother and gave birth to his father. Ning finally broke out!
He and Johnson were directly torn together under the basket. The two strong men broke out completely in an instant, and the emotions that had been accumulated for a whole year were completely released at this moment!The two of them didn't engage in any meaningless activities like talking bullshit or trash-talking, instead they started punching each other crazily!
This time, it was Larry Johnson who had the upper hand. Well, it wasn't that he was better than Mourning, but that Mourning had an extra pendant on his leg!
Little Van Gundy!
As soon as the Knicks head coach saw the two sides fighting again, he rushed onto the court and hugged Mourning's thigh tightly, trying to stop the conflict.
At the same time, he shouted: "Larry! Let's go! Let's go, Larry! Don't fight! Don't get suspended!" But what strength does Mourning have?Although he was a little confused when his thigh was suddenly hugged at first, after being punched twice by Johnson who took the opportunity to sneak attack, Mourning finally reacted and used his monster-like brute force to drag Van Gundy along the court. It took him more than ten meters to stop!
But he just can't catch up with Johnson. No matter how strong he is, after all, he has an extra 100 kilograms of pendant. It is really difficult to quickly catch up with Johnson, who is also an NBA player.
The fight started with Johnson and Mourning punching each other and ended with Van Gundy once again holding someone else's thigh and being dragged away. Not to mention his coaching philosophy and on-the-spot reaction, when it comes to protecting players, Van Gundy really has everything. Courage that is rare in the NBA.
After all, not only is he as tall as Mourning's chest, he is not even half as heavy as Mourning!
The last time the Knicks and Lin Tian had a conflict, little Van Gundy also desperately hugged the thigh of the "God of War" Lin Tian, shouting "Don't fight, don't fight." Out of respect for his elders, Lin Tian immediately Just stopped.
But this time Van Gundy hugged Mourning's thigh and shouted, "Larry, run," but Mourning was completely unmoved and dragged him for more than ten meters before being stopped by the referee and other players.
Sure enough, I, the official Lin, regardless of moral standards or traditional virtues, will crush these reckless men in the NBA. I am highly educated!
Of course, it's also possible that Johnson's mouth was too venomous, and Mourning completely lost his composure. He didn't take advantage during the fight, so he became furious. Lin Tian defeated the Knicks in only 5 seconds. There are three people in the team, so naturally we stop whenever we want.
But that obviously doesn't matter!
The important thing is that three referees and arena security rushed into the arena early. Amid the cheers, shouts and crazy howls of the entire Madison Arena, the referees gave a decision that the fans were very satisfied with.
The Heat's Mourning, the Knicks' Mills and Johnson were ejected. At the same time, based on experience, these three who hit the hardest and most vicious players will definitely be suspended!
When leaving the game, Johnson did not leave in a hurry, but held Mills. In this way, when Mourning left the field, Knicks fans could spray him wildly without restraint!No worries at all.
After Mourning left the court, Johnson and Mills wandered toward the tunnel. In just one second, the fans' curses and swear words turned into overwhelming cheers!
There were even many fans who started shouting MVP crazily!
Johnson and Mills tonight are definitely heroes!
The hero of all New York City!
Doesn’t Pat Riley like dirty tricks?Don’t you like the ultimate exchange of 1 for 5?
Didn’t they successfully come back from behind 1:3?
So what!
Today, don’t we still fuck your Mourning?
Even though the next game, the tiebreaker, is held in Miami, New York fans are confident at this time and 100% trust their team to win the game!
You don’t even have Mourning anymore, and you still fight with us!
The Heat and Knicks are definitely two completely different teams this season.
The Heat are dual-core inside and outside, and most of their offense goes through Mourning and Hardaway. For example, tonight, Mourning scored 14 points on 11-of-29 shooting, and Hardaway scored 21 points on 12-of-33 shooting. , it was precisely because of the dual-core performance that they were able to hold the game to the end tonight!
But if only one of the two cores is left, and the rest are Mashburn and Leonard, the Knicks are not afraid at all!
And what about the Knicks?Larry Johnson and Mills are of course important, but they are not irreplaceable!This season, because Ewing missed almost 80% of the games, the Knicks have already transformed from the Ewing single-core inside team in previous years to this year's wolf-pack style!
This season they have three players averaging more than 3 points per game, including Starks who averages 15 points per game, and Oakley and Mills who average more than 12 points per game.
Houston, Starks, Oakley, Ward, Childs and others can step in when Johnson is absent and take over his firepower output.
But what about the Heat?Who will fill Mourning's offense and defense?Strickland or P.J. Brown?
Apparently, neither of them can do this!
This time, the league responded very quickly, and they issued the penalty results for this game that night.
Mourning was suspended for 2 games, Mills and Johnson were suspended for [-] game each!
In other words, these three have all ended this series early. Let’s see who will directly say goodbye to this season because of this. Regardless of the final result of the game, at least Knicks fans , now it’s great!
What does it mean to repay another person with his own way?
That's it!
Cool!
Last year you killed several of our main players to advance, this year we will also kill your core and tell you to get out!
It can be said that after this big fight, the Knicks, from fans to players, were completely happy!They are all ready to knock the Heat out of the playoffs completely!They are united and confident!
Two days later, the fifth game of the series between the two sides started on time. It is worth mentioning that Ewing asked to play before the game!He hopes that he can fill Johnson's vacancy and hit the Heat's inside gap due to Mourning's absence.
But after a careful discussion with the team doctor, Van Gundy Jr. still rejected Ewing's request, but both Van Gundy Jr. and the team doctor promised to rest for another 3 days!
In the second round of the playoffs, Ewing will definitely play!
In desperation, Ewing could only continue to sit on the sidelines, but in order to boost the team's morale, he booked a VIP room in one of Indiana's top nightclubs for the team in advance!It’s the kind of private room where if you don’t go, your deposit will be completely deducted and will not be refunded!
Ewing wore a suit, showed his bill in the locker room, and then said to everyone: "After this game, let's go to Indiana and prepare for the second round while having a good time all night! I'm treating you!"
I don’t know if Ewing’s simple, direct and retro way of encouragement worked, or if the Heat were completely panicked without Mourning. In short, in the fifth life-and-death battle of the series, the Heat did almost nothing. Decent resistance comes.
The Knicks have been leading since the first quarter, and after the first half, their lead reached 16 points!
Although the Heat put up some resistance in the third quarter, they were never able to really get close to the score, let alone overtake. In the end, the united Knicks defeated the Heat with a score of 98:81!
In almost the same way, I took revenge for last year!When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, all the Knicks players rushed onto the court excitedly, hugging each other, cheering, and shouting!
They have been so depressed in the past year!
Perhaps the only thing that wasn't perfect tonight for the Knicks was that there were too few fans inside the American Airlines Center in Miami.
After seeing the team trailing by about 20 points in the fourth quarter but unable to catch up, a large number of fans chose to leave the game early to avoid traffic jams.
And when the referee blew the whistle to end the game, there were not many fans left at the American Airlines Center, and the taunting was not enough!
But no matter what, the Knicks won!
Their next opponent will be the Pacers, who have swept their opponents long ago and are already waiting in Indiana!
The last matchup in the Eastern Conference is between the Charlotte Hornets and the Atlanta Hawks. This series is supposed to be the closest in terms of strength and should be the most exciting, but it is the least watched series in the Eastern Conference.
The core strength of both sides is not outstanding enough, and there are no popular star players. Although there are powerful players such as Rice, Smith, Mutombo, Blaylock, and Mason Jr., they are not a big city team. There is no grudge between the two teams, and the intensity and excitement of their games are just that.
Therefore, the spectacle and attention of this series are not very good.
As a result, the Hornets quietly won this series with a score of 3:1, advancing to the Eastern Conference semifinals for the second consecutive year, and facing the Bulls on the stage of the Eastern Conference semifinals for the second consecutive year!
Last year, they were beaten by the Bulls and were unable to fight back. Rice was even doubted by Jordan. Whether Rice and the Hornets can take revenge and regain face this year is probably the biggest highlight of this series!
And because the Hornets are not interesting enough, Rice and others are not very attractive to fans, so even if their opponent is the Bulls, there are far fewer people paying attention to this series than the people paying attention to New York's game against Indiana next door. There are so many!
No way, that's New York!
There is also a lot of hatred between New York and Indiana!
Miller's throat-cutting ceremony still makes the entire New York City feel brooding, not to mention Lin Tian. Although Lin Tian seems to have a good relationship with Ewing and others now, two years ago, Lin Tian, in his rookie year, God, he had a fight with the Knicks!
At that time, Lin Tian was one against three, and Mason, Starks and others on the dry land were in extremely miserable condition!
The players thought that they would forget it after the fight, but the fans would not let it go.
Especially now that all New Yorkers know that last summer the Knicks went to Lin Tian with full sincerity, hoping that he could join, but he rejected him. This kind of shame will never be forgotten by New Yorkers!
In the hearts of New Yorkers, they are the NBA's top club and the most attractive super team!
You, an Asian who has just played in the NBA for two years, how dare you refuse our invitation?
What's the difference between this and a young man who just joined Microsoft rejecting Bill Gates' daughter?
They are all overestimating their capabilities and seeking death!
In this round of playoffs, New York fans are ready to boo Lin Tian to death!Let’s settle old and new grudges together today!
Well, it doesn’t count today…
The series has to start in Indiana.
Then spare his life first!
It is also worth mentioning that after the first round of this game, Kevin Johnson and Clyde Drexler announced their retirements. Ewing suffered a serious wrist injury and Olajuwon was old. Rodman can't even outrebound Jason Williams.
In addition, Jordan, Pippen, Malone, Stockton Miller, Barkley, who have already passed their thirties...
No one knows when these guys will suddenly choose to leave.
Also in this series, first- and second-year stars such as Rasheed, Stoudemire, Garnett, Duncan, and the Cavaliers' four generals all performed very well, and they can't wait to take over. It’s over the alliance’s right to speak!
And before them, there are O'Neal, Mourning, Hardaway, Rice, Houston, Kidd, Mutombo, Kemp, Payton, etc. who are in their prime, and there must be the Mesozoic generation who have very long careers. We are waiting to win our first championship!
Of course, there are also those young guys who have not entered the playoffs but have shown good abilities, such as Iverson, Raheem, Walker, Richmond, Webber, Howard and others...
In short, Stern is very pleased with the current alliance!
The three generations of old, middle and young people all have their own pride and signature characters. Each age group can find many representative characters. Stern can feel that the past, present and future of the league will be equally brilliant!
Even if you look further, Carter, Jamison, Bibby, Francis, Brand, Odom... these have not yet entered the league but have shown extraordinary talents. They may enter the league at any time and replace the old forces. The high school students and college students who have been turned upside down are also full of possibilities!
This prosperous age is as he wished!
Of course, no matter how much people look forward to the future, this season also gives people the feeling that a great era, an era that once carried the youth of countless people and had countless wonderful scenes, has begun to quietly come to an end.
Those stars who entered the league around 85, no matter how unwilling they are, must accept reality and start to take over.
But of course, no one is willing to hand over the torch in their hands, and no one is willing to retire honestly like this.
Want to seize power?Want to be a power player in the NBA?
It’s not enough to rely on words, you have to rely on strength!
The entire 90s has produced eight championships. Except for the first one won by the Lakers led by Magic, the remaining seven, five came from the Bulls led by Jordan and Pippen, and two came from the Olympic team. Rockets led by Rajuwan!
Among the players who entered the league in the 90s, no one has been able to lead the team to win the championship!
If you want to officially take over the torch from that group of people, you must at least win a championship first!
This year, at least the Pacers led by Lin Tian and the Lakers led by O'Neal can be regarded as the Spurs led by Duncan. These three teams all have the hope of hitting the championship. From the hands of Jordan, Malone and others, they will Get that damn championship!
Of course, there is still a long way to go before that!
At least for now, they have to kill their opponents first and win the conference semifinals!
In the Indianapolis Plaza Arena, the enthusiastic Indiana people packed the entire arena as expected.
As if knowing that their team would be booed and scolded by the New Yorkers when they arrived on the road, the Indianapolis were particularly crazy tonight. They entered the state early, and when the two sides were warming up, they sneered at the New Yorkers. !
"Patrick, let your grandma play for you! After all, your grandma is tougher than you!"
"Larry, how does Alonzo's fist taste? Do you want to try Lin's again?"
"Charles! Thank you for helping us train Ben! He is much better than you now!"
"Alan, your mid-range shot is not as accurate as Reggie's toe shot! You are too good!"
"Jeff, how do you take care of your head? Do you oil your head every night? Otherwise, how can this thing be so bright?"
"What's more reflective than the moon? The answer is Jeff's head!"
"Lin." Barkley listened to the fans' trash talk and couldn't help walking towards Lin Tiandao: "Have you given our fans a trash talk training class? How come their trash talk is so much better than before?"
"How can I have that skill?" Lin Tian rolled his eyes and said, "I just appeared on the Indiana Sports Radio talk show two days ago."
"Didn't any of you listen to that show?"
"Who has the time to watch that stuff? Can't you just say no?" Miller and Dumas also leaned over at this moment, looking at Lin Tian, wanting to hear what he said on the show.
"I just popularized science to the audience in the program, the three principles, five methods and the seven garbage talking logic that can directly hit people's hearts." Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders and said: "Unexpectedly, the audience of this program There are so many.”
"What are you talking about? What nonsense?" Miller pouted, as if he was listening to your nonsense: "I've never heard of this."
Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders and said: "What a coincidence, I haven't heard of it. I made it up on the spot, but it seems to have a very good effect!"
(End of this chapter)
110: 70!
In the end, this match without any suspense, this match that set the direction of the match from the beginning, finally came to an end!
The second half of this game became a painful ordeal for everyone.
The Pacers players have to endure the boredom of being abused, the Cavaliers players have been completely beaten to the point of being in a daze, and the fans at Quicken Loans Center came with expectations, but only received full disappointment.
In other words, the fans in front of the TV can change the channel early and don't have to endure this completely boring game.
After this game, the Pacers advanced to the second round of the playoffs with a huge score of 3:0 and a fierce victory of almost 3 points in 100 games!
In the remaining 7-round series in the entire league, only the Bulls led by Michael Jordan and the returning Pippen, like the Pacers, advanced by sweeping their opponents 3:0 in straight sets. Second round.
Even the Bulls, in their series against the Nets, only won by less than 15 points per game!
They defeated the Nets by a total of 42 points in three games, which was only 2 points more than the Pacers' defeat in the last game.
If we only talk about the team that wins the hardest, plays the hardest, and advances the easiest, it is definitely the Pacers!
Because, the Nets still put up some resistance. For example, in the first game of the series, they beat the Bulls by 10 points in the fourth quarter, dragging the game into overtime, and only lost by 3 points in the end. !
Although there were 3 games, they only put up some resistance in the first game, and the next two games were all defeats!
But there is always resistance!Compared to the Cavaliers, they have much more face!
In the remaining rounds of the series, the Jazz, the boss of the Western Conference, faced the Rockets, the eighth team in the Western Conference and their old opponent in last year's Western Conference Finals. Everyone originally thought that the team was almost unable to walk anymore and even had serious injuries. The Rockets have reached their limit and they will not pose any threat to the Jazz.
But when the game actually started, Tomjanovich once again showed everyone why they were called the unbeatable Texas Cockroaches!
The Rockets beat the Jazz by 13 points in their first away game in Salt Lake City, the first game of the series. They easily stole a victory from the away game, surprising the Salt Lake City people who originally underestimated the opponent.
Then in the third game of the series, the Rockets were united and defended their first home game. Not only did they get a 2:1 lead, they also had a match point!
At the same time, the fourth game of the series will also be played at the Rockets’ home court!
Just when everyone was looking forward to the Rockets making history and performing a miracle for everyone, the Jazz finally woke up. They won a 93:71 away game. On defense, only Olajuwon and Drexler scored in double figures on the Rockets team!
而虽然奥拉朱旺高效拿下27分15个篮板,但德雷克斯勒却是11投2中只拿到11分,可以说是表现无比糟糕。
Even if Drexe makes 11 of 2 shots, he is still the second-highest scorer and second-best performer on the entire Rockets team. How bad the remaining players on the Rockets played tonight and how bad their condition is. It’s evident!
Back in Salt Lake City, the Jazz, who had escaped being eliminated in Houston, would certainly not give the Rockets any more chances. They were already in good shape and once again locked up Drexler, the Rockets' second-in-command. He defended only 13 of 1 shots in the game!
Drexler's nightmare-like performance in two consecutive games became the biggest culprit for the Rockets' failure to create a black eight miracle. This former second-best outside line in the league showed his age in this series, regardless of Whether facing Russell or Hornacek, he gave people a lifeless feeling.
Due to injuries, age, mentality and feeling for the game, Drexler is completely different from his younger self.
And at the press conference after the game, Drexler looked blank and said into the microphone: "I think it's time to let the glider land! I have been gliding in the air for 16 seasons. It’s time to find an airport and land properly, so I decided to officially retire!”
Drexler's retirement announcement came suddenly and without warning. Before he officially expressed his stance, although everyone knew that the day when the glider would officially land was not far away, no one thought that this day would come so quickly. , so early, and so suddenly!
After all, Drexler can still contribute 18+5+5 in the regular season this season. Although his condition is indeed not as good as when he was young, as the second leader of a championship team, he is indeed somewhat unqualified. But everyone still didn't expect that he would announce his retirement directly after two bad performances in the playoffs.
Before saying these words, Drexler's expression was solemn and tangled.
This all-around forward who has accumulated 22195 points, 6125 assists, 6677 rebounds, and 2207 steals in his career, this ace who once supported the entire Portland team with fast breaks and dunks, this once made the Blazers management say: The 'glider' of "We already have Clyde, so we don't need to choose Jordan" landed tonight!
In addition to those statistics, Drexler also left behind a resume of 10 All-Stars, 5 All-NBA Teams, and 1 championship.
His career may not be very dazzling, but it is absolutely brilliant. He has left countless indelible perfect memories for the fans, and also left himself one moment after another worth remembering.
But no matter what... no matter whether people miss him or not, Clyde Drexler chose to leave.
Another superstar has left the league!
With the departure of Drexler, the Rockets next season will only have the 36-year-old Olajuwon left. No matter how strong the 'Big Dream' is, they can only get 41 wins this season and finish third. The Rockets, who have qualified for the playoffs in eighth place, will most likely not be able to enter the playoffs next season.
Although Olajuwon has not retired yet, everyone knows that his glory has passed and his era has also come to an end.
The other round of the Western Conference that reached the tiebreaker was the old-new showdown between the SuperSonics and the Timberwolves. The mature, powerful and stable SuperSonics won 61 games this season, while the Timberwolves, under the leadership of Garnett and Marbury, He has also shown amazing talent and plasticity.
Like the Rockets and Jazz, the two sides tied 2:1 in the first three games of the series, and both teams were in the lead!
In the fourth home game, the Timberwolves also have the opportunity to close the game and win the series, and advance to the second round for the first time in team history!
In the fourth game of the series, the two sides played a very high-level duel!
The scores between the two sides were extremely close throughout the game, with neither side ever leading by more than 10 points. 70% of the time, the points difference between the two sides was within 5 points!
The score between the two sides was always staggered, and no one was able to open up the score. Both sides played at the top level and gave their all!
However, in this kind of crazy and physical game between the two sides, it is the veteran and experienced Sonics that has the upper hand and seizes the opportunity. What is more critical and determines this series is Gary Payton. !
Although Payton was always beaten by Lin Tian, and his nickname of "Fingerless Glove" was even called bad by many people, it was just that he couldn't guard Lin Tian when he faced Lin Tian.
Stephon Marbury?
This talented guard of the 96 generation is not on the list that Payton can't deal with!
系列赛第四战,佩顿18投10中轰下24分6篮板8助攻的全面数据,而和他对位的马布里仅仅16投4中,只拿下10分,虽然送出7个助攻,但失误也高达5次!
The final score between the two sides was 92:88, with the SuperSonics narrowly winning by 4 points.
It can be said that in this game with a very small point difference and a very anxious game, if Marbury performs a slightly normal performance, even if it is only a 30% shooting rate, the Timberwolves may be able to win this series. Got it!
And Marbury's nightmare was obviously not just tonight. Two days later, the two sides moved to Seattle for a tiebreaker. This night, Marbury made only 10 of 2 shots, only scored 7 points and 8 assists, and once again sent 5 A mistake!
Payton, who faced him, once again made 17 of 10 shots and scored a game-high 29 points!
Absolute face-to-face and point-to-point explosions!
Facing Payton, Marbury was beaten like a high school student who just learned to play basketball, with almost no power to fight back!
In addition, Garnett also lost his sense this night. He only made 11 of 3 shots and scored only 7 points. He also had 10 turnovers that were close to the NBA's historical record!
When the team's two most important core players are playing so poorly at the same time, the Timberwolves' desire to win is tantamount to wishful thinking.
As a result of this tiebreaker, the SuperSonics reversed the series with a 97:84 victory and successfully entered the second round of the series!
What impressed everyone the most in this series was undoubtedly Payton's perfect restriction on Marbury!
In 5 games, Marbury's shooting percentage was less than 4% in 30 games, he scored more than 15 points in only one game, and he also made 5 turnovers in three games!
Only in the second game of the series, Marbury made 21 of 9 shots to regain a little face for himself!
And Payton not only completely guarded Marbury, but also turned this league's new generation of talented point guards into high school students. On the offensive end, he also showed an almost perfect state. In 5 games, he shot 50% from the field. , averaging 26 points per game, taught Marbury a good lesson on both offense and defense!
Payton also used this series to prove that he is still one of the best point guards in the league!You can even call him the second point guard in the league!
Except for Lin Tian, no current No. 1 position is better than Payton!
What awaits the Sonics in the Western Conference semifinals is the Los Angeles Lakers, who defeated the Trail Blazers in the first round with a score of 3:1 and sent them out of the playoffs!
Although the Lakers did not sweep their opponents in the first round, O'Neal used top statistics of 29+11.8+2.5 and a terrifying shooting rate of over 65% in the first round to make everyone feel his dominance and destructive power!
Although the Trail Blazers' Rasheed, Stoudemire, Leder and others risked their lives to resist, facing the Lakers' four All-Stars led by O'Neal, they really could not make any effective resistance and win a game. After maintaining their face, they bid farewell to this season together with their former star Drexler.
The final round of the Western Conference matchup comes from the Spurs twin towers versus the Suns dual-control!
The lineups of these two teams are very interesting. The Suns' two major stars are the star point guards Jason Kidd and Kevin Johnson, while the Spurs' two major stars are Duncan and Robinson. The twin tower combination that formed a team for one year!
Twin towers versus dual controllers sounded interesting and very gimmicky, but when the game started, everyone immediately discovered that the gimmick was just a gimmick after all!
The Suns' weak inside line simply couldn't withstand the successive attacks from the Spurs' twin towers, and they couldn't even stop the impact of Spurs guard 'Little General' Avery Johnson!
In 4 games, the Suns had almost no chance. Like the Trail Blazers, they were easily sent out of the playoffs by the Spurs!
In this series, the inside duo of Duncan and Robinson can jointly score a terrifying 40.6 points, 26 rebounds, and 6.6 blocks...
The power of these two twin towers is definitely the best in the league today!The Spurs' old-young inside duo also shows people the infinite possibilities!
It is worth mentioning that just after this series, the former pride of the Suns and Barkley's old buddy, former All-Star point guard Kevin Johnson, nicknamed 'Lightning', also announced his retirement!
He said that he will not play for any team again next season. His career is over!
The 'glider' that has been gliding for 16 years has landed.
The 'lightning' that never stopped running back and forth on the court finally stopped.
No matter how reluctant and regretful the Phoenix people are, everything Johnson has brought to them will become history. With Johnson's departure, the two sets of matchups in the second round of the NBA Western Conference have been determined!
Second round of the Western Conference: Lakers VS SuperSonics!Jazz VS Spurs!
Compared to the two groups in the Western Conference, where both teams reached tiebreaker and almost defeated the superior team, the Eastern team was much more exciting!
Because the Seven Black Miracles really happened!
The grudge match and rematch between the Knicks and Heat started as scheduled. Ever since the two sides had a serious brawl in the Eastern Conference semifinals last year, and the Knicks suffered a big loss and were eliminated as a result, the war of words between the two sides has never stopped. Pass!
It is no exaggeration to say that these two teams have the deepest hatred for each other in the league today!
In this series, both sides are playing on the court with the idea of killing their opponents!
The worst thing for the Knicks is that just before the start of this series, the wrist injury of Patrick Ewing, the absolute core of their team, recurred again!The injury that had plagued Ewing all year came to him again at the most critical moment.
No matter how helpless Ewing was, he could only accept the team doctor's opinion and hang up the exemption card!
This recurrence was diagnosed by the team doctor and he needs to rest for at least 2-4 weeks!In other words, no matter how this series progresses or how it ends, Ewing can only be a spectator and cannot appear in the game.
Ewing's complete reimbursement has made the battle and grudge match that everyone was expecting a bit boring. Almost no one still thinks that the Knicks without Ewing can beat the Heat. Many people even think that this time the Knicks, I'm afraid I'm going to be swept away!
But as the series began, fans discovered they were wrong!
The intensity of this round of competition this year was even more exciting than the previous year!
The Knicks, who did not have Ewing but had everyone on their side and played a crazy, fierce and tough style, faced the Heat, which was composed of Hardaway and Mourning, a pair of internal and external stars!
During the series, it seemed like the two sides had made an appointment.
It's one game for you and one for me. One person wins the other. Both sides go back and forth without giving in to each other. There is almost no garbage time in this series. Both sides fully maximize the intensity, confrontation and suspense!
This round of the series is definitely the most exciting and exciting of all the games in the first round!
The Heat won first at home, and then the Knicks stole the home court in the second game in Miami. Before the New Yorkers had time to be happy, the Heat captured Madison Square in Game [-] and won the game. point.
Then came the most exciting fourth game of the series. In this game, the two sides fought and fought hard from the first second of the game. The intensity of the game was no different from a fighting game. Players from both sides were all killed. Red eyes!
The score difference between the two sides was locked from the first second, and neither one could get away from the other!
With a score difference of about 5 points, players from both sides fought back and forth until the last moment of the game.
And at the last moment of this game, what the whole of New York was most looking forward to and hoping to happen finally happened!
Larry Johnson, who defended Mourning tonight and was completely beaten by Mourning. Although he was beaten, his mouth was very poisonous!
Although Mourning made 14 of 11 shots tonight and scored 29 points in a super efficient manner, Larry Johnson has been spraying from the 8th generation of Mourning's ancestors to the next [-] generations!
When the two were teammates in the Hornets, they disliked each other. They were tit-for-tat for the position of boss. Now that they each have their own master, they have a clear excuse to fight against the enemy.
Johnson's mouth made Mourning dizzy and his nose was so angry that he sprayed it!
And until the last 3 seconds of the game, when the Knicks finally led by 5 points and the overall situation was decided, Johnson once again told Mourning that he was a bastard who slept with his mother and gave birth to his father. Ning finally broke out!
He and Johnson were directly torn together under the basket. The two strong men broke out completely in an instant, and the emotions that had been accumulated for a whole year were completely released at this moment!The two of them didn't engage in any meaningless activities like talking bullshit or trash-talking, instead they started punching each other crazily!
This time, it was Larry Johnson who had the upper hand. Well, it wasn't that he was better than Mourning, but that Mourning had an extra pendant on his leg!
Little Van Gundy!
As soon as the Knicks head coach saw the two sides fighting again, he rushed onto the court and hugged Mourning's thigh tightly, trying to stop the conflict.
At the same time, he shouted: "Larry! Let's go! Let's go, Larry! Don't fight! Don't get suspended!" But what strength does Mourning have?Although he was a little confused when his thigh was suddenly hugged at first, after being punched twice by Johnson who took the opportunity to sneak attack, Mourning finally reacted and used his monster-like brute force to drag Van Gundy along the court. It took him more than ten meters to stop!
But he just can't catch up with Johnson. No matter how strong he is, after all, he has an extra 100 kilograms of pendant. It is really difficult to quickly catch up with Johnson, who is also an NBA player.
The fight started with Johnson and Mourning punching each other and ended with Van Gundy once again holding someone else's thigh and being dragged away. Not to mention his coaching philosophy and on-the-spot reaction, when it comes to protecting players, Van Gundy really has everything. Courage that is rare in the NBA.
After all, not only is he as tall as Mourning's chest, he is not even half as heavy as Mourning!
The last time the Knicks and Lin Tian had a conflict, little Van Gundy also desperately hugged the thigh of the "God of War" Lin Tian, shouting "Don't fight, don't fight." Out of respect for his elders, Lin Tian immediately Just stopped.
But this time Van Gundy hugged Mourning's thigh and shouted, "Larry, run," but Mourning was completely unmoved and dragged him for more than ten meters before being stopped by the referee and other players.
Sure enough, I, the official Lin, regardless of moral standards or traditional virtues, will crush these reckless men in the NBA. I am highly educated!
Of course, it's also possible that Johnson's mouth was too venomous, and Mourning completely lost his composure. He didn't take advantage during the fight, so he became furious. Lin Tian defeated the Knicks in only 5 seconds. There are three people in the team, so naturally we stop whenever we want.
But that obviously doesn't matter!
The important thing is that three referees and arena security rushed into the arena early. Amid the cheers, shouts and crazy howls of the entire Madison Arena, the referees gave a decision that the fans were very satisfied with.
The Heat's Mourning, the Knicks' Mills and Johnson were ejected. At the same time, based on experience, these three who hit the hardest and most vicious players will definitely be suspended!
When leaving the game, Johnson did not leave in a hurry, but held Mills. In this way, when Mourning left the field, Knicks fans could spray him wildly without restraint!No worries at all.
After Mourning left the court, Johnson and Mills wandered toward the tunnel. In just one second, the fans' curses and swear words turned into overwhelming cheers!
There were even many fans who started shouting MVP crazily!
Johnson and Mills tonight are definitely heroes!
The hero of all New York City!
Doesn’t Pat Riley like dirty tricks?Don’t you like the ultimate exchange of 1 for 5?
Didn’t they successfully come back from behind 1:3?
So what!
Today, don’t we still fuck your Mourning?
Even though the next game, the tiebreaker, is held in Miami, New York fans are confident at this time and 100% trust their team to win the game!
You don’t even have Mourning anymore, and you still fight with us!
The Heat and Knicks are definitely two completely different teams this season.
The Heat are dual-core inside and outside, and most of their offense goes through Mourning and Hardaway. For example, tonight, Mourning scored 14 points on 11-of-29 shooting, and Hardaway scored 21 points on 12-of-33 shooting. , it was precisely because of the dual-core performance that they were able to hold the game to the end tonight!
But if only one of the two cores is left, and the rest are Mashburn and Leonard, the Knicks are not afraid at all!
And what about the Knicks?Larry Johnson and Mills are of course important, but they are not irreplaceable!This season, because Ewing missed almost 80% of the games, the Knicks have already transformed from the Ewing single-core inside team in previous years to this year's wolf-pack style!
This season they have three players averaging more than 3 points per game, including Starks who averages 15 points per game, and Oakley and Mills who average more than 12 points per game.
Houston, Starks, Oakley, Ward, Childs and others can step in when Johnson is absent and take over his firepower output.
But what about the Heat?Who will fill Mourning's offense and defense?Strickland or P.J. Brown?
Apparently, neither of them can do this!
This time, the league responded very quickly, and they issued the penalty results for this game that night.
Mourning was suspended for 2 games, Mills and Johnson were suspended for [-] game each!
In other words, these three have all ended this series early. Let’s see who will directly say goodbye to this season because of this. Regardless of the final result of the game, at least Knicks fans , now it’s great!
What does it mean to repay another person with his own way?
That's it!
Cool!
Last year you killed several of our main players to advance, this year we will also kill your core and tell you to get out!
It can be said that after this big fight, the Knicks, from fans to players, were completely happy!They are all ready to knock the Heat out of the playoffs completely!They are united and confident!
Two days later, the fifth game of the series between the two sides started on time. It is worth mentioning that Ewing asked to play before the game!He hopes that he can fill Johnson's vacancy and hit the Heat's inside gap due to Mourning's absence.
But after a careful discussion with the team doctor, Van Gundy Jr. still rejected Ewing's request, but both Van Gundy Jr. and the team doctor promised to rest for another 3 days!
In the second round of the playoffs, Ewing will definitely play!
In desperation, Ewing could only continue to sit on the sidelines, but in order to boost the team's morale, he booked a VIP room in one of Indiana's top nightclubs for the team in advance!It’s the kind of private room where if you don’t go, your deposit will be completely deducted and will not be refunded!
Ewing wore a suit, showed his bill in the locker room, and then said to everyone: "After this game, let's go to Indiana and prepare for the second round while having a good time all night! I'm treating you!"
I don’t know if Ewing’s simple, direct and retro way of encouragement worked, or if the Heat were completely panicked without Mourning. In short, in the fifth life-and-death battle of the series, the Heat did almost nothing. Decent resistance comes.
The Knicks have been leading since the first quarter, and after the first half, their lead reached 16 points!
Although the Heat put up some resistance in the third quarter, they were never able to really get close to the score, let alone overtake. In the end, the united Knicks defeated the Heat with a score of 98:81!
In almost the same way, I took revenge for last year!When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, all the Knicks players rushed onto the court excitedly, hugging each other, cheering, and shouting!
They have been so depressed in the past year!
Perhaps the only thing that wasn't perfect tonight for the Knicks was that there were too few fans inside the American Airlines Center in Miami.
After seeing the team trailing by about 20 points in the fourth quarter but unable to catch up, a large number of fans chose to leave the game early to avoid traffic jams.
And when the referee blew the whistle to end the game, there were not many fans left at the American Airlines Center, and the taunting was not enough!
But no matter what, the Knicks won!
Their next opponent will be the Pacers, who have swept their opponents long ago and are already waiting in Indiana!
The last matchup in the Eastern Conference is between the Charlotte Hornets and the Atlanta Hawks. This series is supposed to be the closest in terms of strength and should be the most exciting, but it is the least watched series in the Eastern Conference.
The core strength of both sides is not outstanding enough, and there are no popular star players. Although there are powerful players such as Rice, Smith, Mutombo, Blaylock, and Mason Jr., they are not a big city team. There is no grudge between the two teams, and the intensity and excitement of their games are just that.
Therefore, the spectacle and attention of this series are not very good.
As a result, the Hornets quietly won this series with a score of 3:1, advancing to the Eastern Conference semifinals for the second consecutive year, and facing the Bulls on the stage of the Eastern Conference semifinals for the second consecutive year!
Last year, they were beaten by the Bulls and were unable to fight back. Rice was even doubted by Jordan. Whether Rice and the Hornets can take revenge and regain face this year is probably the biggest highlight of this series!
And because the Hornets are not interesting enough, Rice and others are not very attractive to fans, so even if their opponent is the Bulls, there are far fewer people paying attention to this series than the people paying attention to New York's game against Indiana next door. There are so many!
No way, that's New York!
There is also a lot of hatred between New York and Indiana!
Miller's throat-cutting ceremony still makes the entire New York City feel brooding, not to mention Lin Tian. Although Lin Tian seems to have a good relationship with Ewing and others now, two years ago, Lin Tian, in his rookie year, God, he had a fight with the Knicks!
At that time, Lin Tian was one against three, and Mason, Starks and others on the dry land were in extremely miserable condition!
The players thought that they would forget it after the fight, but the fans would not let it go.
Especially now that all New Yorkers know that last summer the Knicks went to Lin Tian with full sincerity, hoping that he could join, but he rejected him. This kind of shame will never be forgotten by New Yorkers!
In the hearts of New Yorkers, they are the NBA's top club and the most attractive super team!
You, an Asian who has just played in the NBA for two years, how dare you refuse our invitation?
What's the difference between this and a young man who just joined Microsoft rejecting Bill Gates' daughter?
They are all overestimating their capabilities and seeking death!
In this round of playoffs, New York fans are ready to boo Lin Tian to death!Let’s settle old and new grudges together today!
Well, it doesn’t count today…
The series has to start in Indiana.
Then spare his life first!
It is also worth mentioning that after the first round of this game, Kevin Johnson and Clyde Drexler announced their retirements. Ewing suffered a serious wrist injury and Olajuwon was old. Rodman can't even outrebound Jason Williams.
In addition, Jordan, Pippen, Malone, Stockton Miller, Barkley, who have already passed their thirties...
No one knows when these guys will suddenly choose to leave.
Also in this series, first- and second-year stars such as Rasheed, Stoudemire, Garnett, Duncan, and the Cavaliers' four generals all performed very well, and they can't wait to take over. It’s over the alliance’s right to speak!
And before them, there are O'Neal, Mourning, Hardaway, Rice, Houston, Kidd, Mutombo, Kemp, Payton, etc. who are in their prime, and there must be the Mesozoic generation who have very long careers. We are waiting to win our first championship!
Of course, there are also those young guys who have not entered the playoffs but have shown good abilities, such as Iverson, Raheem, Walker, Richmond, Webber, Howard and others...
In short, Stern is very pleased with the current alliance!
The three generations of old, middle and young people all have their own pride and signature characters. Each age group can find many representative characters. Stern can feel that the past, present and future of the league will be equally brilliant!
Even if you look further, Carter, Jamison, Bibby, Francis, Brand, Odom... these have not yet entered the league but have shown extraordinary talents. They may enter the league at any time and replace the old forces. The high school students and college students who have been turned upside down are also full of possibilities!
This prosperous age is as he wished!
Of course, no matter how much people look forward to the future, this season also gives people the feeling that a great era, an era that once carried the youth of countless people and had countless wonderful scenes, has begun to quietly come to an end.
Those stars who entered the league around 85, no matter how unwilling they are, must accept reality and start to take over.
But of course, no one is willing to hand over the torch in their hands, and no one is willing to retire honestly like this.
Want to seize power?Want to be a power player in the NBA?
It’s not enough to rely on words, you have to rely on strength!
The entire 90s has produced eight championships. Except for the first one won by the Lakers led by Magic, the remaining seven, five came from the Bulls led by Jordan and Pippen, and two came from the Olympic team. Rockets led by Rajuwan!
Among the players who entered the league in the 90s, no one has been able to lead the team to win the championship!
If you want to officially take over the torch from that group of people, you must at least win a championship first!
This year, at least the Pacers led by Lin Tian and the Lakers led by O'Neal can be regarded as the Spurs led by Duncan. These three teams all have the hope of hitting the championship. From the hands of Jordan, Malone and others, they will Get that damn championship!
Of course, there is still a long way to go before that!
At least for now, they have to kill their opponents first and win the conference semifinals!
In the Indianapolis Plaza Arena, the enthusiastic Indiana people packed the entire arena as expected.
As if knowing that their team would be booed and scolded by the New Yorkers when they arrived on the road, the Indianapolis were particularly crazy tonight. They entered the state early, and when the two sides were warming up, they sneered at the New Yorkers. !
"Patrick, let your grandma play for you! After all, your grandma is tougher than you!"
"Larry, how does Alonzo's fist taste? Do you want to try Lin's again?"
"Charles! Thank you for helping us train Ben! He is much better than you now!"
"Alan, your mid-range shot is not as accurate as Reggie's toe shot! You are too good!"
"Jeff, how do you take care of your head? Do you oil your head every night? Otherwise, how can this thing be so bright?"
"What's more reflective than the moon? The answer is Jeff's head!"
"Lin." Barkley listened to the fans' trash talk and couldn't help walking towards Lin Tiandao: "Have you given our fans a trash talk training class? How come their trash talk is so much better than before?"
"How can I have that skill?" Lin Tian rolled his eyes and said, "I just appeared on the Indiana Sports Radio talk show two days ago."
"Didn't any of you listen to that show?"
"Who has the time to watch that stuff? Can't you just say no?" Miller and Dumas also leaned over at this moment, looking at Lin Tian, wanting to hear what he said on the show.
"I just popularized science to the audience in the program, the three principles, five methods and the seven garbage talking logic that can directly hit people's hearts." Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders and said: "Unexpectedly, the audience of this program There are so many.”
"What are you talking about? What nonsense?" Miller pouted, as if he was listening to your nonsense: "I've never heard of this."
Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders and said: "What a coincidence, I haven't heard of it. I made it up on the spot, but it seems to have a very good effect!"
