From today on is the king

Chapter 526

The Eagles game is about to start, and the previous two games are finally over.

In today's first game, the Nets beat the Celtics 81-65. The score was unbelievable. Except for Pierce who scored 36 points, the Celtics didn't have a second player who scored in double figures. The defense was terrifying!
Then the Kings played the Jazz in the second game, which was completely like basketball in another world. It was 106 to 100. Neither team could defend the other. Wei, Bibby, who was made 29 of 19 shots and fouled 5 times by the old Stockton in the first three quarters, made a fatal three-pointer at the last moment. He only scored 9 points and only made one three-pointer, but it was the most critical one.

This situation is very different from yesterday, where the east and west seemed to be reversed.

The Pacers lived up to expectations. They were completely unable to defend against the Bucks led by Payton at home.

The Bucks and Pacers at least tried to defend, but they really couldn't defend. The 76ers and the Hornets didn't defend.

In the west, it was a defensive battle. The Spurs' offense was really weak, but their defense was strong. Yao Ming felt the malice from San Antonio and was blocked by Duncan five times. He only scored 9 points and 5 rebounds in his playoff debut. Duncan scored 35+18 points and led the Spurs.

In the series between the Mavericks and the Trail Blazers, Pippen probably felt that he was not far from retirement, so he tried his best to defend to the death. Rasheed Wallace was mobilized to defend against Dirk Nowitzki. Rasheed Wallace was very good at defending.

In the end, the Mavericks held their first home game with difficulty, beating the Trail Blazers 91 to 86 and winning their first victory.

The first game of each round of the series is most of the time a game that sets the tone of the game. The tone of the previous six rounds of the series has been set, and they all show the strategy of their own team and the strategy of being forced to change.

The opening game of the seventh series is about to begin, the series opener between the Eagles and the Pistons.

……

……

The topic of black eight is always talked about by people, and the ratings have become the highest in the first round of the playoffs. Everyone wants to see what kind of tone the Eagles will set for the game after entering the playoffs as the eighth.

The Pistons offended a lot of teams back then, and all the fans were eagerly looking forward to seeing the Eagles kill the Pistons again. Except for the Pistons fans, they saw almost one-sided fans on the Internet who favored the Eagles.

In the past two years, the relationship between the Pistons and the Eagles has been settled. First there was a fight here, and then the Eagles swept the Pistons in the second round of the playoffs last season. Ratliff also took away the best defensive player from Ben Wallace.

Liu Mang and his teammates were completely unafraid of these boos, and focused on warming up before the game, waiting for the end of the game between the Kings and the Jazz.

As for the opening game, all eight games in two days will be broadcast live, so we have to wait until the last game is over before the next game starts, really we just have to wait.

Finally, after the Kings beat the Jazz at home, the Eagles' opener is about to begin.

The Eagles sent Liu Mang, Prince, Rahim, Mohammed, and Ratliff as the starting combination, and the lineup of the Eagles at the end of the season has not changed.

The Pistons sent Billups, Hamilton, Michael Curry, Clifford Robinson, and Ben Wallace.

Liu Mang stretched his neck and shoulders, came to the technical stage and put on some chalk, and after finishing the opening moves with Boozer, he stepped onto the court.

Playing the playoffs as a starter for the first time, Liu Mang is very excited now, following his teammates to the court, ready to jump the ball.

Ratliff came to the center of the field and stood with Ben Wallace in the center of the field after yelling and screaming on the opposite side of the technical stage to stimulate the fans.

Liu Mang was standing behind Ratliff on the left, and he was eager to try. When the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the sky, Liu Mang rushed forward...

Ben Wallace defeated Ratliff in the jump ball without any suspense. Ben Wallace's explosive bullet speed took off at the same time as Ratliff, but he was the first to touch the ball and dial it to the back.

Billups has judged the landing point and is ready to catch the falling ball. He is quite confident in Ben Wallace's jump ball. In the 70 games played by Ben Wallace this year, the Pistons have a very high probability of winning the jump ball. Especially when a standing center like Ratliff is the opponent, the Pistons basically win all the jump balls!

Just when Billups was ready to catch the ball early, and the ball was called back by Ben Wallace as expected, and when Billups stood in his position and was about to receive the ball, there was an exclamation from the scene.

Billups is a calm man, maybe from the point of view of scoring, defense, assists, etc., the league has more powerful point guards than him, but his biggest characteristic is calm and cold-blooded, I think these fans are too slow to react, isn’t it obvious that Ben Wallace won the jump ball?

Just when Billups was complaining that he was about to catch the falling ball, a blue-black figure jumped up in front of him, relying on his longer arm and big claws, grabbed the ball when Billups just touched it, and wiped past him.

Before Billups could react to what happened, the sound of a "clang" dunk entered Billups' ears.

Billups looked back and saw that Liu Mang was still pressing his left hand on the basket, and the ball fell from the basket.

Liu Mang started the game with a steal and dunk with his left hand!

When dealing with Iverson, Nash, Parker, etc., the speed of 94 to 92 may have a greater impact, but when playing Billups with a speed rating of only 88, I am sorry, but Liu Mang is still the faster one!

Billups's face is still written: I am very calm, which is expected...but my heart has been overwhelmed.

The guy who bullied my old Lu since his rookie season is here again!
