God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 220

But for this game or this round of the series, Brown just said it so casually, and everyone just listened so casually. I have never heard of someone who is far superior to his opponent. Everyone believes that The 76ers will directly sweep their opponents 3-0 and advance to the next round, which will give the players a few more days to prepare for the semifinals.

Not to everyone's surprise, the 76ers won two consecutive games easily and neatly, sweeping their opponents and advancing to the next round.Although the Pacers also rose up and resisted in these few games, and even almost turned around and succeeded in the second game, but with Lewis's three-point lore, the 76ers got through the danger, and there has been no hindrance since then .

However, the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs was more than this 3-0, but what is surprising is that the other team that was swept was actually the third-ranked Heat.There is a big problem with their offense. The highest scoring average in the series is only Eddie Jones' 19 points. In addition, only House, Mourning and Grant scored in double figures.In contrast, the Hornets' offensive firepower is too strong. Both Mashburn and Baron Davis averaged 20+ per game, which made it impossible for the Heat to parry.

The series between the Bucks and the Magic also showed a one-sided momentum. Although the Bucks were defeated by the Magic after leading 2-0, they still won this round of the series 3-1.The three guns of the Bucks, Ray Allen, Cassell and Glenn Robinson, averaged 61.3 points per game, directly killing the Magic.In the previous life, Tracy McGrady failed to make it to the second round after joining, and now it is even more impossible for Armstrong alone to get benefits from the second-ranked Bucks in the Eastern Conference.

The only tug-of-war happened between the Raptors and the Knicks.These two teams are also very interesting. The Raptors are young and energetic, and their offense is very powerful. The battle of spear and shield.However, the veterans headed by Houston still failed to resist the youth storm of Carter and Tracy McGrady and lost 2-3.In the final contest of Game 1, it was Carter and McGrady who scored 12 points in the last minute of the fourth quarter, which made the Knicks' efforts throughout the game come to naught.

On the western side, the Lakers also easily passed the test 3-0. After all, the combination of Garnett and Szczerbiak is not something you can see in every game, especially when Zen Master specially arranged for Rick Fox to play against Szczerbiak. Biak's close guarding, and Garnett, who is helpless alone, can't make any waves, not to mention that O'Neal keeps putting him under pressure in the paint.The Timberwolves' disastrous defeat made the team's management feel ashamed, which also paved the way for their subsequent big signings.

The second-ranked Spurs also took down the Trail Blazers without bloodshed. At this time, the Trail Blazers are still good at inside. The inside rotation lineup composed of Sabonis, Schramf and Rasheed Wallace has a lot of players Team nightmare.But their tragedy is that they met the Spurs. The twin towers composed of Duncan and the "Admiral" are not inferior to the Trail Blazers, and the outside players are even better. It is logical to sweep the Trail Blazers 3-0 and advance to the next round.

As one of the top three in the Western Conference, the Kings also showed a strong offensive ability. Although they were dismounted by the Suns in the first game, they quickly won the series with three games in a row, including two games It is not easy to score more than 100 points in the game.You must know that the game rhythm of the entire league is still relatively slow, and the defensive strength of the playoffs is better than that of the regular season. Being able to score more than [-] points has proved the King's strong offensive firepower.

Similar to the East, there is also a game in the West that has reached the last game, and that is the Mavericks VS Jazz.In fact, on paper, the strength of the Jazz is obviously better than that of the Mavericks. Although the Utah duo of Malone and Stockton have entered the end of their careers, their strength is still there, and the pick-and-roll is still very sharp.But what makes them feel helpless is that the Mavericks' troika-Nowitzki, Finley and Nash played at a very high level. Nowitzki averaged 23.8 points and 7.6 rebounds, Finley 23.8 points and 6.8 rebounds. rebounds, 3 assists, Nash 18.4 points, 6.8 assists, plus Juwan Howard, who averaged 14.8 points and 8 rebounds per game, the Mavericks showed much stronger strength than the Jazz in this series.

And in the last game, Finley played the full 48 minutes, scored a game-high 24 points on 13 of 33 shots, and hit a lore three-pointer 1.8 seconds before the end.However, this is also related to Stockton's poor state. His old partner Malone scored 24 points and 10 rebounds, but he only scored 4 points. 11 assists and 4 steals failed to help the team win. It was this game that caused this veteran team to fall apart. After all, the Mavericks are still too young.

Chang Wei looked at the match list for the second round in his hand, with a wry smile on his face, he still had to face his former disciple!To be honest, the Raptors are more difficult to deal with than the Knicks. Chang Wei knows the strength of Carter and Tracy McGrady. It is easy for such young talented players to explode suddenly in the game, and once they explode, they are almost unstoppable. The Knicks were directly killed in the final decisive battle because of the explosion of Carter and McGrady. This is what Chang Wei was worried about.

But at the same time, he is also full of confidence in Brown and all the players of the 76ers. Although the Raptors are not an easy opponent to deal with, the 76ers still have a great possibility of winning.The only thing that worries Chang Wei is that the 76ers do not have enough defenders. Lynch and Snow are the top defensive players in their respective positions, but Snow is obviously not tall enough. Being at a disadvantage, it's not bad to be able to display six or seven achievements in one's ability.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chang Wei smiled. It is better to leave this troublesome problem to Brown, and he can't help him much.Rao has a headache for McGrady, and Chang Wei doesn't regret the various in-depth training he gave McGrady back then, let alone training him to be a top swingman with both offense and defense, even if he becomes an opponent now.

In Chang Wei's view, the strength of one or two people is not to be feared, and the 76ers are not only strong by one or two people, which is why the Pacers will be dealt with cleanly.He believes that the other players of the Raptors can't stop the 76ers' impact at all. At worst, let Carter and McGrady play alone and cut off their connection with their teammates.
