No. 76 in the East, the Miami Heat against the No. [-] New York Knicks in the East, No. [-] in the East, the Indiana Pacers against the No. [-] Milwaukee Bucks in the East, No. [-] in the East, Orlando Magic against the No. [-] Philadelphia [-]ers in the East, No. [-] in the East, Atlanta Hawks against Detroit, No. [-] in the East piston.

According to the so-called experts, the situation in the east is chaotic in one word.

Perhaps due to the impact of the shrinking season, the gap in the strength of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs is not very large. Except for the veteran Indiana Pacers, the other teams in the front have little advantage.

Yes, at this time, some media analyzed the possibility of black eight.

I have to say, this report supports this team, and that report supports another team, all of them are convincing, but in fact they are nonsense, and someone will be fooled, because there will be no The third result.

But most people in the outside world are still as optimistic as the Heat's players are optimistic about the Heat's advancement.

In the West, the No. [-] San Antonio Spurs will face the No. [-] Minnesota Timberwolves, the No. [-] Portland Trail Blazers will face the No. [-] Phoenix Suns, and the No. [-] Utah Jazz will face No. [-] Sacramento Kings. The Los Angeles Lakers against the Houston Rockets.

Unlike the Eastern Conference, the top three Spurs, Trail Blazers, and Jazz all have obvious advantages. The ones who are not sure are the Lakers and Rockets.

However, for things like competitive sports, it doesn't mean that if you have a big chance of winning on paper, you will definitely win. This is the charm of competitive sports. Who will have the last laugh will only be known after the fight.

Leaving aside the outcome, in terms of attention, the Heat and the Knicks are definitely the hottest, more eye-catching than the collision between the Lakers and the Rockets, whether it is the Big Three against the Big Three or O'Neal and Olajuwon The battle between the old and new insiders is not as good as the grievances between the Heat and the Knicks.

Compared with those who watch the game seriously, those who like to watch the excitement are more, two playoff games, two fights to the last game, two fights, what will happen in the third time, master-apprentice duel, ex-teammate duel, The duel between brothers and sisters is a gimmick that can make a big fuss.

There was a lot of hype in the media, but the two teams basically banned their players from talking nonsense. Before the war, it was like the calm before the storm.

Three days after the end of the regular season, the battle for the playoffs began.

The first playoff game between the Miami Heat and the New York Knicks started at the Heat's home court. The two defensive teams met, and it was destined to be a bayonet scene.

The starting lineups on both sides have not changed. The Heat is the lineup after Mashburn's comeback. Tim Hardaway at the 1st position, Zhang Chen at the 2nd position, Jamal Mashburn at the 3rd position, and P at the 4th position. -J-Brown, No. 5 Alonzo Mourning.

The Knicks' starting lineup is actually a bit strange. The average team has three outsiders and two insiders. This season, they have two outsiders and three insiders. They play two power forwards at the same time. It is also a very strange starting lineup. Yes, Charlie Ward at No. 1, Alan Houston at No. 2, Kurt Thomas and Larry Johnson at No. 3 and 4, and Patrick Ewing at No. 5.

Kurt Thomas and Larry Johnson are both power forwards, but Kurt Thomas is actually the same as the substitute young insider Marcus Camby. And Latrell Sprewell, like Manu Ginobili of the Spurs later, is the sixth man with absolute main treatment.

In other words, the Knicks just respected the big brother Ewing at the beginning, let him shoot two shots to enjoy himself, and then immediately switched to the "double gun" channel of Houston and Sprewell until the end of the game.

The Heat's tactic was to ask Mourning to mess up the Knicks inside and bully the old Ewing. The outside players waited for the opportunity, because Zhang Chen, Hardaway and Mashburn all had baskets. Substitute Terry - Porter, Dan Marley and Voshan Leonard can also shoot. As long as Mourning opens up, these outside players will have opportunities.

Although no special tactics were arranged for Zhang Chen, he still had no special ideas before the start of the game. At least he was the one defending Alan-Houston. As long as he stalks the opponent to death, it is absolutely impossible for any buzzer-beating kill to happen.

But when the game started, the scene was beyond Zhang Chen's imagination.

He only knew about the black eight in history before, and he hadn't watched the video of the game, and he couldn't find a reason for comparing the performance of the two teams in the regular season. However, from the first quarter of the game, he wanted to scold his mother.

Tim Hardaway directly turned into the iron king. As an attacking No. 1 position, this boss has a good mental quality. Generally, he can turn around after a few times of ironing, although the more he is at this time, the less he likes to pass the ball. It hurts, but from the beginning of this game, he has the posture to hit the basket.

If it's just that Tim Hardaway doesn't feel good, he's almost wrestling with Alan Houston anyway. As Houston has a textbook shooting hand, Zhang Chen is confident that the opponent will consume a lot in his defense and shoot. Masters generally become unstable when they consume too much, this is the law on the court.

The key is to replace Zhang Chen as the Heat's No. [-] attacking point, Mashburn. This guy definitely has a problem with his mental quality. To put it bluntly, he is a bit soft and can't fight hard. Sprewell exploded him on both offense and defense. up.

This game let Zhang Chen know what helplessness is. Tim Hardaway managed to score 10 points with 10% shooting percentage. Mashburn didn't even score 30 points, but he was about to let the opponent Spray Will scored [-] points.

Although Zhang Chen tried his best to defend Alan Houston and did not get his average points this season, the Heat still lost 75:95.

In the first round of the playoffs, eight high-ranked teams played at home, and only the Heat were in such a miserable state. The only teams that did not win at home were the Heat and Magic in the East.

The magic team is because no one can limit the regular season scoring leader Allen Iverson. Iverson easily scored 30+ in the away game. People can't understand it, and it feels like they are killing themselves. Hardaway and Mashburn's skills are less than half of the regular season, which is embarrassing.

Except for the accident that the No. 101 in the Eastern Conference lost to the No. The rising Lakers star Kobe Bryant made a free throw and the Lakers beat the Rockets 100:[-].

So after the first round of the game, the Heat became the target of all kinds of ridicule by the media, and news about the Heat appeared on the sports pages of major newspapers for a while.

"Old Hardaway can no longer see where the basket is."

"Mashben, who has lost his aura in offense, is just a third-rate player."

"The Rookie of the Year contender is nothing more than a wrestler".

Even the Miami Herald said, "Mourning is alone, Pat Riley needs to consider changing."

The New York Times said, "The regular season rankings cannot reflect the real strength, and the Knicks can beat any opponent." It also included a photo of Ewing's interview and what he said, "I was not knocked down by injuries, and the Knicks will definitely win. "

After knowing the reason for the failure of the game, Zhang Chen couldn't make a deal, he could do nothing, maybe the Heat would lose, maybe they could win in the end, but he didn't want to lose like this, especially the failure of his new life. It can be avoided, if the Heat team in history may not be able to do it, but the current Heat team has a way to adjust, because with him, after a season of training, his ability has reached the level of a star player in terms of statistics , He has the ability to help the team win.

He couldn't say it clearly in front of his teammates, so he could only find Pat Riley alone again.

"Coach, the Knicks are too familiar with Tim, which is not good for us. I ask for more possession of the ball. I have the ability to help the team win."

Zhang Chen thinks that the main problem lies in Tim Hardaway. Although Mashburn is also playing badly, the key is that there is a problem with Hardaway's distribution of the ball. Attacking the powerful No. 1 position is a double-edged sword. When playing well, it is difficult for opponents to defend, and it can help Mourning inside to open up space, but when playing poorly, it can really drag down the team.

"Zhang, I told you not to worry about tactics, I will think about it." Regarding the first loss, Pat Riley was also very depressed. If another player under his hands raised his opinion, especially a rookie player , is not allowed for him, that is, Zhang Chen is his greatest luck this year, so he didn't get angry immediately.

"Coach, please believe me. I'm the kind of player who is good at playing key shots. I will only play better in the playoffs. Coach, you should be clear." Seeing that Pat Riley still did not express his position, Zhang Chen was also a little anxious up.

Pat Riley froze, and said angrily: "Zhang, before I make up my mind to put you on the bench, hurry up and go out for training."

Zhang Chen was taken aback, and almost got angry, but he still endured it. His temper had already ruined his life, and he didn't want his second life to end in tragedy.

"Please reconsider the coach." Zhang Chen saluted and walked out quickly.

Aggrieved, very aggrieved, he couldn't wait to stand on the court and tear his opponents apart.

In fact, Pat Riley is even more aggrieved. Who is he? change.

When Zhang Chen holds the ball, he plays reasonably, but Mourning is not Olajuwon or O'Neal. As an insider, Mourning is both offensive and defensive, but the defense is still relatively good. A reasonable organizer does not have an offensive type. The organizers helped him a lot.

Unless the organizer is at the core, Mourning cooperates with him, and a rookie becomes the core of tactics?Pat Riley shook his head.
