From today on is the king

Chapter 1184 1183. Want to be upset!

Although Eddie Curry is not as heavy as Yao Ming, he is only a kilogram lighter when he is more than ten centimeters shorter. He is solid in terms of tonnage and covers a wide area. He looks like a big black bear with enhanced mobility and increased weight. O'Neal can't even hit it. This is the key to the Bulls' ability to kill the Heat in the first round of last year's playoffs, but many people did not notice this.

This time without Eddie Curry, although Chandler defended well, it was difficult to defend against O'Neal, who was at the tail of the peak. As soon as O'Neal sat on his butt, Chandler was squeezed away.

O'Neal played very actively against the Bulls. He played 36 minutes, made 25 of 16 shots, 16 of 8 free throws, scored 40 points and 17 rebounds.

靠着奥尼尔的40+17，还有韦德的26分4板9助攻的全面表现，热火队以110比87，屠杀公牛队23分。

Game [-] was the series opener between the Spurs and the Jazz.

The two highly disciplined teams played a game as ugly as the Nets playing the Pistons. The Pistons played the Nets and the score was low enough, and the Spurs played the Jazz even lower!It is completely different from the beautiful and fierce offense played by the Lakers, Mavericks, Heat and other teams.

69 to 61, the Spurs won their first home game.

69 to 61, although it is the playoffs, but this score, in the playoffs in the past 30 years, is also an extremely low score.

Since the opening games of the 8 series of the playoffs are all broadcast live across the United States, Time Warner, which broadcast the game live, feels like eating Xiang...

The Suns' game against the Clippers was pretty good. Neither team could defend the other, 117 to 109. The Suns relied on Nash to score 6 points in a row at critical moments to seal the victory and win their first victory.

The most intense game was not the game where the Spurs only scored 69 points, nor was it the game between the Suns and the Clippers. Although the Spurs only won by 8 points, they crushed the whole process. Popovich used the characteristics of the Jazz to suppress the rhythm to the extreme. In order to prevent the Jazz from playing a good pick-and-roll cooperation, they played like that. After all, Duncan almost abused the super insiders once. Popovich is very afraid, so no matter how ugly he plays, he just prevents the Jazz from playing pick-and-rolls.

The most intense game is the first game of the series between the Cavaliers and the 76ers.

Iverson and James against Biao!
One thing about James is very good. The playoffs are even better than the regular season. He scored 36 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in a single game, just one point away from tying the historical record of 37 points set by Liu Mang in his playoff debut.

Iverson scored 30 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists, but Webber couldn't prevent Big Z's mid-range shot, and was scored 26 points by Big Z.

James' sudden score was too powerful, and Iverson tried his best, but he couldn't win the away game.

James won the first playoff victory of his career, leading the team to a 101-97 victory over the 76ers.

……

……

"What's the matter, Dinah, you're still angry, don't be angry, we will definitely win the series." Liu Mang said while pinching the little girl's face.

Little Lolita was pinched so hard, she still muttered angrily: "Dinah wants to sweep! Dinah wants 4 to 0! But uncle, you screwed up, you lost! You lost even against the Pacers, and Dinah's face was embarrassing!"

"Yes, yes, okay, get in the car, and go back to pick up your mother and the others." Liu Mang's pressure these two days is really not small.

On the court side, they all blew that they might win the playoffs and break their own record of 16 wins and 1 loss.

Yep, lost Game [-] of the playoffs.

Although people who think that the Eagles will lose the first round, except for those who are too whimsical, basically no one.

But in the eyes of some fans, the Eagles' three-peat has cast a shadow.

Even the Pacers can lose, what else is there to dare not think about?

The first games of all the series in the first round of the playoffs were all over. In seven of the series, both sides played their own characteristics. Those who should win all won, and the side that performed better won the victory in the anxious game.

Only the Eagles have become the object of ridicule in the past two days, even other series, physical newspapers, TV stations, online forums, online news... are still speculating on the big event of the Pacers' upset in the first game.

The 39-win team defeated the 73-win team. No matter how the next series develops, this game is enough for Pacers fans to talk about it for ten years!

This is the first time in five years that a team has defeated the Eagles in the first game of the series!
The Eagles took a break on the morning of the 22nd and started preparing for the game in the afternoon.

The coaching staff is still very calm, and did not play Pat Riley's behavior of practicing to death after losing a game.

In the 1989 Finals, the Lakers, who had already won two consecutive championships, had 11 wins and 0 losses in the Western Conference playoffs. It felt as exaggerated as the Lakers in 2001. But after losing the first game in the Finals, Pat Riley started his devil training again. He directly took Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was still selected as an All-Star substitute in the regular season despite being 42 years old, and played 74 games in the regular season. Excellent performance with 18 rebounds and 6 assists, but suffered injuries and fatigue later, the Lakers still had the strength to fight back in the first game, but they were defeated in the last three games and were swept by the Pistons 12-4.

Using the ancients as a mirror, we can know the ups and downs, and people as a mirror to know the gains and losses.

With the lessons learned from that Lakers team, there is Zen Master's connivance with O'Neal.

The Eagles had Pat Riley’s lessons learned and Zen Master’s successful example of the correct approach. Coach Kruger was very angry when he lost the game on the night of the 21st, but the training on the 22nd did not break the previous plan. There were only two training sessions, a total of 90 minutes, including the rest and tactical discussions in the middle, and only two hours of training in the afternoon of the 22nd.

On April 4, the Eagles, who had been holding back for a day and two nights, finally ushered in the second game of the series against the Pacers.

In the afternoon, after Liu Mang picked up the little loli who had been angry after the loss the night before, he came to the arena. Levia had already brought Liu Mang's family to the Phillips Arena.

Liu Mang and his teammates devoted themselves to warming up before the game. At [-]:[-] in the evening, the players of the Eagles and Pacers entered the Phillips Arena. The second game of the series was about to begin.

……

Feeling the fighting spirit of the Pacers, Liu Mang's fighting spirit was also burning.

Won the first game, although the Pacers players themselves thought it was impossible, but what if, what if they won again next time.

The Pacers entered a state of unity unprecedented in these two years.

Let's talk about the future, now they are united and want to do something big!
Artest is actively mobilizing his teammates, trying to twist them into one!

For the Eagles, the Eagles players have been ridiculed on the Internet in the past two days; seeing TV news and newspapers constantly talking about their loss to the Pacers, they are under a lot of pressure.

Although he is very confident in himself, public opinion is a knife that can kill people. The players of the Eagles are holding back their energy now!

At 27:[-], the lights dimmed, and Rasheed Wallace's face appeared on the big screen above the court, with a more grim expression than usual.

The scene was immediately detonated, and the emotions of the Eagles home fans became even more irritable today.

If they lose the first game, they lose, and they themselves are teasing their own team.

But in the second game, the Eagles couldn't afford to lose from the players to the fans!
Don't look at the Eagles fans treating the ridicule of other teams with an optimistic attitude and comforting themselves with ridicule.

But deep down, the Eagles fans are angry, and now seeing the Pacers again, the anger of the Eagles fans is suddenly detonated.

Liu Mang felt the seriousness of his teammates and the irritability of the fans. He was also very excited. He actually lost the first game... Most people actually have a tendency to be masochistic. They always want to experience things they haven't experienced before.

Now this little excitement after losing the first game filled Liu Mang's heart.

He wants revenge!

However, for the Pacers with 39 victories...the system didn't give a task, and Liu Mang didn't even ask.

For Liu Mang, this is a double "harm". The unbeaten record in the first game of the series was broken, and the system didn't give a task to comfort him. It's all the Pacers' fault!It's all the fault of Pan Tai Fook!

After Rasheed Wallace's roar ended, Artest, who had just stepped onto the court to do something big, felt the evil gaze from Liu Mang.

Artest stared back without hesitation.

Liu Mang and Artest looked at each other for two seconds. They were evenly matched. It was a rare encounter with an opponent. The two felt that the opponent was very strong. Then they went to their positions and waited for the jump ball.

For the Eagles, the starting lineup of Liu Mang, McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown played.

The Pacers made adjustments today. The starting lineup of Tinsley, Anthony Johnson, Artest, Jermaine O'Neal, and Foster debuted.

Stephen Jackson played poorly on both ends of the offense and defense against Liu Mang, and the defense against McGrady was actually not good. It was purely McGrady's own work, so Coach Carlisle put Stephen Jackson on the bench and sent Anthony Johnson, a 32-year-old veteran with excellent defense, to play the starting shooting guard.

Regardless of the negative news outside the court, Stephen Jackson has a glorious history of winning fights with fans in [-]v[-], but facing Liu Mang, he is always like a weak chicken.

At 08:30 in the evening, the referee came to the court with the ball, and the game began!
