I took away the emperor zhan

On April 17, 2004, the first round of the playoffs was officially opened.

On the first day, the NBA arranged four games, namely:

The Pacers played the Knicks at home,

The Lakers play the rockets at home,

The nets play the bucks at home,

The Spurs play the Grizzlies at home.

Wade, Anthony and James have to wait until tomorrow for their first game of the playoffs.

"King! James! " It's a little busy in the group.

Hinrich: there are many brothers in the group ready to play the playoffs. How are you feeling for the first playoff?

Bosh: don't talk. I'm going out fishing. The playoffs or something, it has nothing to do with me.

Walton: actually, it has nothing to do with me. I'm just an audience on the sidelines in the playoffs!

Perkins: I almost got into the playoffs with the team, but I was squeezed out by the team of the owners and Wade. I'm depressed.

David West: I'm in the playoffs, but I feel good now! We're going to play the pistons! Wish me good luck.

Capono: Hey, I'm lucky to follow the group leader.

James: who do you think can make it to the second round of the playoffs? Does anyone want to bet?

Walton: I bet you, come on!

Anthony: hahaha, LeBron gambled with him

Wade: hahaha, + 1

James saw Walton jump out and didn't want to talk.

Cha, Wharton is with the Lakers. If there is no accident, the champion in the west this year will be the Lakers. Even if Wharton is the guard of the water dispenser on the bench, he can follow the team into the second round, or even the final decision.

He has some confidence that he can lead the team to beat the heat, which is based on his confidence that he can abuse Wade now. However, after successfully entering the second round, they are likely to face the eastern leading Pacers. He is not sure that he can lead the team to pass the Pacers.

That's why James won't gamble foolishly with Walton.

James: Oh, I'm going to prepare for training. Let's talk back!

Walton: don't go, group leader. We haven't agreed yet.

James dived directly and didn't say a word. The people in the group were already laughing. Wade and Anthony laughed the most. LeBron was also eaten.

At the end of the first day of the game, all the teams with home advantage won without exception.

The next day, the Pistons' home game against the Hornets started first. The pistons won the Hornets 26 points, 109-83, which proved David West's words. It was really difficult against the pistons.

The Cavaliers' home game against the heat began.

Wade and James went to the stadium together, but Wade said last night that he didn't want to compete with James alone, because he didn't want to be abused by James in the single, which affected today's game mood.

But what he said when he refused to compete with James was not that. Instead, he said that they should train separately and look for tomorrow's game. Don't have such a fierce one-on-one competition. If they were injured in the singles, the gains would not be worth the losses.

For Wade's reason, James can only ha ha. He can't catch Wade and fight alone with himself.

"It is said that the relationship between LeBron and Wade is very good. Today their team will play on the court, which is very interesting." Said Kenny Smith with a smile.

Buckley nodded. "Just now someone noticed that wade came to the stadium with LeBron's car. They have a very good private relationship. But I think they are all competitive, so this game looks very interesting. "

"Which team do you think will win?" Asked Kenny Smith.

"From the regular season record point of view, the Cavaliers should have a slight advantage, but the regular season record of the two teams is very close, and there is no big distance. This also reflects that the strength of the two teams is relatively similar, so I think this series of games may have to play all seven games to distinguish the final victory and defeat." Buckley analyzed.

Kenny Smith nodded, "but the Cavaliers rely more on LeBron's ability. If LeBron doesn't play well, it will have a great impact on the Cavaliers. The heat have Eddie Jones, Odom and Wade. They will be more balanced and have more choices on the court. "

Buckley took over the topic, "there is no doubt that the heat will choose to pinch LeBron. Now when other teams in the league play against the Cavaliers, it is estimated that they will choose to pinch LeBron. As long as they can limit LeBron, they will have a chance to win."

"Yes, and the playoffs are not the regular season. The defensive intensity of the playoffs is a level higher than that of the regular season. LeBron is just a rookie. It is a great test for him whether he can continue to play well under the defensive intensity of the playoffs." Kenny Smith said, "if the Cavaliers want to win the series and advance to the next round, they need LeBron to play well in every game."

"So you think the heat are more likely to win and advance to the next round, don't you?" Barkley asked.

Kenny Smith nodded. "Yes, it's very difficult for a single core team to go further in the playoffs. Compared with the Cavaliers, the heat has more players who can stand up and contribute at the critical moment. When one person is limited, as long as other people don't feel cold, they can stand up and help the team get points, so the heat is likely to be promoted. "

"I don't think so. LeBron is the strongest point of the Cavaliers. He played well throughout the regular season and didn't encounter any rookie wall problems. He is too stable, and his performance is getting better and better with the progress of the season. So I believe he can continue to play well in the playoffs. As long as LeBron plays, the Cavaliers retain the possibility of winning. More importantly, no one in the heat can limit LeBron's right now. Eddie Jones is not as tall and powerful as LeBron, and Odom is not as flexible as LeBron. So I think the Cavaliers have a chance to qualify. " Buckley retorted.

"But even superstars dare not say that they can perform well in every game on the stage of the playoffs..."

"LeBron is a superstar now. Do you think he's just a rookie? No, no, no, he's already super giant! There is no doubt about it! And he only needs to play the expected performance in the four games he wins. After all, he can be promoted as long as he wins four games in a round. " Buckley interrupted Kenny Smith directly.
