5 month 3 day.
The second round of the playoffs has officially begun.
West side.
The Lakers played against the Suns, and the Jazz played against the Mavericks.
5 month 3 day.
No one expected that it would be the Lone Ranger who would kill Jazz cleanly.
艾弗森32投21中，三分球4投3中，罚球9投9中。
Crazy scoring 54 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists, 7 steals, and 1 block.
The only hot pot shot was given to the opponent's 213-meter-tall Nowitzki.
Perhaps it was the hot shot in the first quarter that dealt a heavy blow to Nowitzki's already fragile mind.
In the entire game, Nowitzki made 11 of 0 shots.
In addition, there were 1 rebound, 7 turnovers, and 6 fouls.
Even Cuban doubted whether he had received dirty money from the Jazz.
Cuban knows very well that Nowitzki is not like this.
And talk about collecting black money.
The Jazz owner probably wonders if he, except Iverson, has given the entire Jazz team black money.
Down the whole game.
Except for Iverson, the entire Jazz team seemed to be sleepwalking.
On the Lone Ranger side, only Nowitzki is sleepwalking.
Especially Kidd and Carter, who were just traded.
卡特29投19中，三分球14投8中，罚球4罚4中。
Also scored 50 points.
This made many old fans exclaim, this is a dream comeback to the 2001 playoffs.
Kidd also did not let Carter and Iverson be beautiful.
23 points, 9 rebounds, 16 assists, 3 steals.
Only one rebound was missing from the triple-double, but he was very cool and did not play in the last quarter.
119: 87.
The Lone Ranger won a big victory.
Iverson seemed very lonely.
The soon-to-be 33-year-old played a full 48 minutes.
It can be said that he contributed to every point of the Jazz's game.
However, even though I tried my best and scored 54 points, I couldn't win a victory.
Jerry Sloan was angry, too.
Iverson is very strong.
However, other players relied too much on him.
Moreover, this poor shooting percentage is inexcusable.
The Jazz are clearly stronger than their opponents.
But he lost so humiliatingly.
Losing is not terrible, but it can still be lost when the opponent's core has been beaten to autistic state.
There is nothing worse than this.
……
Another game on May 5 is the Heat versus the Magic in the Eastern Conference.
In the whole game, 6 Magic players scored in double figures.
among them.
Rashard Lewis made 15 of 11 shots and scored 33 points efficiently.
Howard made 13 of 8 shots and scored 20 points.
Turkoglu, Nelson, and Dulin all scored 18 points.
Bogans 10 points.
These 6 people scored 117 points.
The team scored a total of 128 points.
Who would have thought that Howard's 61.5% field goal percentage is already the lowest on the team.
It was precisely because of their super high shooting percentage that the Magic won the first game against the Heat.
"Don't be discouraged!"
"Our goal is the championship!"
"Of course you can encounter any situation."
"If the Magic can always have this shooting percentage in the next games."
"Then we can only accept our fate!"
"But, believe me, we will definitely win the next game!"
Spoelstra also felt that his few words could not comfort the players.
However, it is obvious that one loss did not affect these players.
Before meeting the Lakers, O'Neal will never admit defeat.
Alonzo Mourning's body is no longer strong enough to sustain him for another season.
He is ready to retire.
Since it is the last desperate chance, Mourning will not hold anything back.
Wade is 26 years old and has entered his prime.
He also knows that the team will most likely start rebuilding next season.
As for the outcome, he couldn't say.
But this season is definitely the time to work hard.
And white chocolate, he is also 33 years old.
Always criticized for being flashy, he needs a chance to prove himself.
Haslem and Ricky Davis both have championship rings.
But they wouldn't mind if there was one more.
In fact, Spodo didn't need to say anything.
All the team members know it.
How important this season is to them.
It has reached the second round of the playoffs.
They don't want to leave any regrets.
……
5 month 4 day.
It's the Lakers versus the Suns in the West.
This is another crazy game.
Stoudemire made 20 of 13 shots.
Although he inexplicably missed all his free throws, he still scored 26 points.
Nash didn't take many shots, but he made 5 of 4 three-pointers and scored 12 points efficiently.
The one who really went crazy was Grant Hill.
He hasn't played in the playoffs in a long time.
The Magic made it to the playoffs last year, but Hill himself ended the season early due to injury.
In the first round of this year's playoffs, he was also recuperating from an injury.
Although in fact his injury has already healed.
However, I still followed the team doctor's instructions and rested for a few more games.
This comeback is like a tiger descending from a mountain.
15投13中，三分球7投7中，罚球5罚5中。
Although the playing time is not too much.
But scored a team-high 38 points.
This is also the highest score Hill has scored in the playoffs.
Hill's outstanding performance also made the Lakers very uncomfortable.
In particular, Hill made 7 of 7 three-pointers.
Hill is not a three-point shooter.
This time it seemed like God was helping me.
In interviews after the game, even Kobe Bryant and Phil Jackson said they did not lose unfairly.
But they also said.
They won't make the same mistake again.
The Lakers' goal this year is only a championship.
The mere sun cannot make them admit defeat.
……
Originally, the game between the Bobcats and Celtics was supposed to be played on May 5.
There's just something wrong with Boston's home court.
The game has been postponed to May 5.
In three consecutive playoff games, the bottom beat the top.
People are also full of expectations for this game.
"Down to top?"
"Doesn't that mean we must win!"
"The opponent is the defending champion!"
Head coach Larry Brown said this when asked about the topic.
"Really? The bottom is better than the top!"
"This won't happen!"
"Uncle Mu is out for the season."
"But he told me that he would not be satisfied with just two championship rings."
"Even if it is for this respectable teammate, the boys in the team must work hard!"
"Besides, I believe in the strength of my team members!"
"Regular season rankings don't explain anything."
When the reporter asked Zhou Yao the same question, the answer he got was this.
It seems that both teams believe that the Bobcats are the team with a greater chance of winning.
Of course, if you really think Larry Brown would think that, you're dead wrong.
After all, the Celtics are a Big Five team.
There is actually a lot of pressure on the whole team.
Their goal is the championship.
How could he fall in the second round of the playoffs...
