Chapter 168: The end of the first round

()After defeating the Nuggets 4:1, the Lakers successfully advanced to the second round.

Results from other series are also coming in.

In addition to the Bulls who swept out the previous champion Miami Heat with a big score of 4:0 early in the morning, following in the footsteps of the Bulls, the other two teams in the Eastern Conference also completed a sweep and advanced. The Detroit Pistons swept the Orlando Magic away from home to advance.

In the second round, the Cleveland Cavaliers also swept and defeated the Washington Wizards, who were short of major generals, becoming the first three teams in the league to advance.

The only remaining series in the Eastern Conference, the Raptors vs. the New Jersey Nets, ended with a score of 1:3 at the Nets' home court. The Nets went to Toronto to challenge the Raptors away from home.

In a crucial battle, the New Jersey Nets did not leave any chance for the Toronto Raptors. They defeated the Raptors cleanly and successfully advanced with a total score of 4:1.

Compared with the clear form of the Eastern Conference, the Western Conference seems a bit strange. Except for the Lakers, who defeated the Nuggets with a score of 4:1 and became the first team in the Western Conference to advance to the second round of the playoffs, the other three teams

The series lasted six games.

The first is the most watched series between the Dallas Mavericks and the Golden State Warriors. In the Oracle Arena of the Warriors, the Dallas Mavericks were beaten into a honeycomb by the Golden State Warriors with a total score of 1:3.

The situation returned to the American Airlines Center in Dallas. In the fifth game, the Dallas Mavericks fought hard and finally pulled one back with the cheers of the home audience. After this game, the Mavericks once led the Warriors by as many as 23 points.

But in this case, Nelson's Golden State Warriors launched a crazy counterattack. In the last three minutes of the game, the Golden State Warriors had overtaken the Dallas Mavericks by 112:103 and led the Dallas Mavericks by 9 points.

At the critical moment, Dirk Nowitzki, the much-criticized core of the Dallas Mavericks in this series, stepped forward and hit two consecutive three-pointers, narrowing the difference between the two teams to only three points.

It gave the players of the Dallas Mavericks the confidence and courage to fight.

Then Harris broke through and scored a layup while causing a foul, but unfortunately there was no extra penalty. After the Warriors missed the shot, Nowitzki caused the Warriors to foul again and made two free throws. Finally, with 48 seconds left in the game,

Leading the Warriors by one point at 112:113.

Then the Warriors failed to shoot. Although they grabbed consecutive offensive rebounds, they were still unable to score. In desperation, they had no choice but to choose foul tactics.

Howard made one free throw and missed the second, but during the scramble for rebounds, Warriors player Jackson knocked the ball out of bounds and the Mavericks still had the ball.

The Warriors once again chose to commit a tactical foul. Nowitzki made two free throws, and the Mavericks led by 4 points. The Warriors failed to shoot again and finally lost the chance to win.

Although the form is still unfavorable, the score of 2:3 gives Mavericks fans a little hope. As long as they can win another game at the Oracle Arena. When they return to the American Airlines Center again, the Mavericks' chances of advancing will be greatly increased.

!Especially this game, in which they first took the lead, then were overtaken, and finally won with difficulty, greatly boosted the morale of the Mavericks.

It's a pity that Nelson's Golden State Warriors did not give the Mavericks a chance to dream. In Game 6, at the Oracle Arena, the Golden State Warriors maintained a lead of more than 10 points throughout the game, although the Dallas Mavericks never had a chance to dream.

They gave up and struggled to catch up, but the 10-point gap was like a natural chasm in front of the Dallas Mavericks, unable to cross.

The total score was 4:2. Warriors head coach Old Nelson used six games to complete his revenge against Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. At the same time, he also led the Warriors into the second round of the playoffs, creating an NBA history.

The third 'Black Eight Miracle'!

The Golden State Warriors suddenly became the center of all media attention to the NBA. Everyone was talking about the Warriors' "eight-eighth feat."

Jackson, Barnes, Monta Ellis, ordinary players who were not famous in the past are now appearing on the front pages of major media with terrifying frequency, especially the first hero of the Black Eight, the Warriors

The team's core point guard, Baron Davis, has received the most praise. Words like 'superstar', 'top point guard', 'charisma', and 'fighter' can be used as long as they match.

He tried his best to put it on Baron Davis' head.

Some local media in Oakland even declared that Baron Davis is "the top five point guards in the league"!

It's a bit unlucky to say this. As the saying goes, there is no first, no second in martial arts. Anyone who can achieve some achievements in the NBA, even if they are humble on the surface, they will still be a little proud in their hearts. Now the media puts Balang - Dai

With Weiss being praised so highly, some people naturally feel uncomfortable.

Considering that the Warriors' next opponent will be the Spurs, I'm afraid Tony Parker won't make it easy for Baron Davis.

After the Warriors and Mavericks, the Spurs and Jazz also had a winner. Although the Jazz is also a veteran team, it has just been rebuilt after all, and it is always not as calm and sophisticated as the Spurs. In six games, the Spurs settled in Salt Lake City

He defeated the Utah Jazz and got a pass to advance to the second round.

The final winner was between the Suns and the Rockets. At the Rockets' home court, the Suns won 107:89 and once led the Rockets with a big score of 3:1. However, after the fourth game, the Suns' important core "Little Overlord"

Stoudemire accidentally stepped on Yao Ming's foot after landing a dunk. Both men left the court and did not participate in the rest of the game. The Rockets lost that game and were eliminated by the Suns.

The score expanded to 3:1. Just two days later, in the fifth game, Yao Ming returned to the game vigorously. As for the Suns, 'Little Bully' Stoudemire was placed on the injured list.

I was forced to sit in the audience.

Stoudemire's injury led to the imbalance of the Suns' interior offense. Although Stoudemire's defense is not very good, his offensive power in the penalty area has always been a scoring weapon for the Suns. He and Nash

The alley-oop combination is a favorite routine among Suns fans.

Now that Amar'e Stoudemire is injured, the Suns' originally not strong defense has not been greatly affected, but their inside attack power has dropped a lot. Marion's twisted chest three

There is really no way to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Suns' interior offense.

Taking advantage of Stoudemire's injury, the Rockets turned on full power and won two games in a row, winning 88:82 and 87:79, and tied the total score at 3:3.

This dragged the Suns, which originally had a huge advantage, into the quagmire of the tiebreaker.

Rockets players, including Rockets fans, were naturally very excited. Seeing that the Rockets had the best chance to break the curse of the first round, the tiebreaker between the Rockets and the Suns created horrific ratings.

But maybe the Rockets are really cursed and will be destined to be in the first round for the rest of their lives...

Just before Game 7, a sudden flu outbreak prevented three Rockets players, including Howard, from playing. The Rockets had no choice but to select a full lineup to face the game.

But the Rockets' tragic fate was not over yet. Facing Raja Bell's defense, Tracy McGrady made an ordinary pass and directly threw the basketball aside, then covered his waist with a look of pain.

, Tracy McGrady, who was substituted, never appeared in this game again.

Only Yao Ming was left to take care of the overall situation. When Yao Ming was on the court, the Rockets were evenly matched with the Suns. However, Yao Ming's physical strength was exhausted. When Yao Ming could not stay on the court, the Rockets' rhythm was completely disrupted.

The curse took effect again in the first round. The Suns finally won the game, eliminated the Rockets in the tiebreaker, and struggled to enter the second round of the series. However, the seven games also greatly depleted their physical strength, especially Ama

Ray Stoudemire's injury is a huge blow to the Suns.

While the future of the Suns is uncertain, there is good news from the Lakers. After two months of injury, 'Skiing Man' Vladimir Radmanovic can finally participate in team training. Maybe

Able to make it to the second round.

This is undoubtedly good news for the Lakers. Vladimir Radmanovic's three-point range has always been a weapon for the Lakers to score points. His return can effectively enhance the Lakers' outside attack power.

At the same time, the return of Vladimir Radmanovic can also strengthen the Lakers' 3-4 positions and provide more usable combat power for the Lakers' currently stretched inside line.

However, the day after the seventh game between the Suns and Rockets, the Suns released news, announcing that Amare Stoudemire was recovering well from his injury, which would allow him to return to the team in time to participate in the game.

Second round of competition.

The Phoenix Star's special report also included a photo of Stoudemire wearing sportswear standing on the Phoenix training ground and practicing shooting from distance.

This news made the Suns fans breathe a sigh of relief, but also made the Lakers fans secretly sigh, sighing why Stoudemire was not injured more seriously. If Stoudemire could not play in the game against the Lakers,

This will be a huge blow to the Suns' strength and will be very beneficial to the Lakers' promotion.

The Lakers and Suns have some grudges. In the 2005-06 season, Kobe led the team to the playoffs for the first time, and installed Steve Nash, who had just become the two-time MVP. With Kobe's

After outstanding performance, the Los Angeles Lakers once led the Phoenix Suns 3:1, but in the end they were defeated by the Suns in three consecutive games and were eliminated in seven fierce battles.

This year, the two sides have collided again. Of course the Lakers want to avenge their reversal and elimination last season! (To be continued. You are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest support.
