Chapter 174 Advancement Situation
After the ball fell into the net, all the players on the Magic bench, headed by O'Neal, jumped up excitedly.

In the stands, there was a burst of cheers, but more boos.

The commentator was also full of praise for the ball.

And Davis scored such a wonderful goal, and it really hit the morale of the Heat.

This gave them a 5-point lead at halftime.

In the NBA, or in all sports in the world, the combat effectiveness of a team can indeed vary greatly between home games and away games.

A rout like the first one doesn't look like it will happen.

But the entire Heat team, including head coach Langley, was confused about how the team could win.

Originally thought that their team could play a good game with the support of the home fans, but Davis's outburst in the second quarter shattered their fantasy again.

At half-time, the atmosphere in the home dressing room was exactly the same as it was in the first game.

"Do your best and obey the destiny." Langley sighed secretly, knowing very well that his team basically ended the journey of the whole season after this game.

In the third quarter, O'Neal and DeWeese, who had rested for nearly a quarter, played together. With the cooperation of DeWeese who gave his best, the Magic played a long-lost wave in the third quarter.

Langley looked at the situation on the field with a dismal expression, watching Davis once again played with their entire defense line, and then completed an alley-oop with O'Neal, and the point difference officially came to 20 points.

In the fourth quarter, the unwilling Heat still played with all their main players, preparing for a dying struggle.

But the Magic, which also played with the main lineup, didn't give them this chance.

D'Antoni didn't want any surprises, he just wanted to securely win the last game of the first round of the series and ensure that his team could advance to the next round as soon as possible.

The final score was 106-120. The Magic swept the Heat 3-0 and advanced to the next round with their heads held high.

In the first round of the series, the magic team's best performance is undoubtedly their twin stars.

O'Neal averaged 27 points, 13 rebounds and 3.1 blocks per game.

Davis averaged 19.8 points, 11.1 assists and 2 steals per game.

And Glen Rice, the first firepower that the Heat had placed high hopes on before the game, completely sank.

He only scored 40 points in three games, averaging 13.3 points per game, and his shooting percentage was less than 40.00%.

Just after the Magic took the lead to advance to the next round, Jordan scored 45 points in the second and seventh games of the Eastern Conference and led the Bulls to sweep their opponents 3-0.

The game in the East was uneventful, but the form in the West was a little subtle.

The Sonics lost their first game on the road.

穆托姆博19分13篮板6盖帽，把内线变成了禁飞区。球队老大雷吉-威廉姆斯砍下31分6篮板8助攻2抢断2盖帽的全能数据。

The Sonics shot only a poor 42.5% of the game, and the Nuggets shot a horrible 60%.

What is even more surprising is that the Spurs lost again.

After they came to the Jazz's home court, they were beaten violently by the Jazz without any power to fight back.

In the second quarter, the Spurs only scored 9 points in a single quarter, creating a new record for the fewest points in a single quarter in the playoffs.

They lost 33 points at home.

David Robinson didn't stand up when the team needed him most. He only scored 16 points and 11 rebounds in the game.

Even so, he is also the one with the highest score in the team, which shows the state of the Spurs.

The next day, the game of the next 8 teams was also over.

After the switch between home and away, the Blazers finally won a game against the Rockets. They beat the Rockets by two points at home. The highlight of the game was Drexler's lore five seconds before the end.

The Suns played an offensive battle with the Warriors. The two teams combined scored an astonishing 273 points. Without overtime, this score is really not like a playoff game.

韦伯和穆林联手砍下了57分12篮板17助攻的数据，韦伯更是在面对巴克利的时候交出了27分8篮板13助攻的惊人表现。

It stands to reason that with this kind of performance, the team should be able to securely win the victory.

However, the Suns have the regular season MVP last year, the fat pig who can fly in the sky.

巴克利全场比赛31投23中，三分球4中3，罚球9中7，以74.2%的命中率，80的真实命中率，狂砍56分14篮板4助攻3抢断1盖帽。

Facing such a Barkley who turned on the Superman mode, the Warriors had no choice but to drink their hatred and became the third team to be swept away.

The current form is that the East, the Magic and the Bulls have already qualified, the Pacers lead the Eagles 2-1, and the Knicks lead the Cavaliers 2-1.In the West, only the Suns have qualified. The Spurs are 1-2 behind the Jazz, the Supersonics are 2-1 ahead of the Nuggets, and the Rockets are 2-1 ahead of the Trail Blazers.

The Magic, which had at least four days of rest, did not slack off. They were carrying out daily training to maintain their state, waiting for the end of the first round of the game.

The next day, May 5, there were three games, Pacers vs. Hawks, Sonics vs. Nuggets, and Spurs vs. Jazz.

The Eagles stubbornly pulled back a game at home, turning the total score into a 2-2 tie. The two teams will return to the Eagles' home court for the final contest.

Supersonic overturned again.

92年新秀拉方索-埃利斯爆发了，他全场砍下了27分17篮板，打爆了拿下16分10篮板的坎普。

Mutombo once again showed the entire league the strength of the No. 10 defensive center. He scored 16 points, 8 rebounds and [-] blocks.

Even though Payton and Schramf both scored 20 points, the Sonics still lost their second game by nine points.

The Spurs were even worse. They became the first team to be defeated by the Jazz at home.

纵然大卫罗宾逊状态回暖，拿下27分12篮板，但是面对马龙的34分12篮板和斯托克顿的12分18次助攻还是有些无力。

On May 5, as the Knicks beat the Cavaliers away, the Magic's next round opponent also came out.

O'Neal against Ewing.

Skiles against his old club.

DeWeese confronts Starks.

The game between the Rockets and the Trail Blazers was completely over.

Olajuwon's stable performance allowed the Rockets to suppress the Blazers. Although the final point difference was only three points, the Blazers never took a lead in the game.

In the entire first round, only the last two 5-game tie-breakers are left, namely the Eagles vs. Pacers. The winner will face Michael Jordan's Bulls, and the most eye-catching duel between No. [-] and No. [-] in the Western Conference.
