God's hand behind the scenes

Easy sweep
Losing the first battle made Silas very helpless. He knew that his only trump card had failed.Although he has long been prepared to be eliminated by the 76ers, he still intends to win one or two games. This is a matter of face.However, when both generals Mashburn and Davis were targeted by their opponents, he knew that the first round had gone far.

Of course, there is still one person in the 76ers who is frowning because of the victory of the game, and that is Iverson.He is very clear that strength is his weakness, but Davis just wants to find him. Every time the two matchups are not like guards at all, but more like inside players who fight hand-to-hand under the basket every day.Iverson has no idea of ​​improving his strength. In fact, even if he has this idea, it is too late. Of course, Chang Wei can make a training plan for him, but he thinks it is better for Iverson to continue to maintain the advantage of speed.

So in the next few games, Iverson was the only one who was devastated. At the end of each game, he could see that his legs were a little weak, which was obviously a sign of excessive physical exertion.McGee and Snow are better. After all, they mainly deal with the Hornets' backup guards, and there are not many opportunities to directly face Davis. This makes them look at Iverson with sympathy, and there is no way , Davis's weight is really unscientific. If it weren't for this guy's three-pointer that is not very reliable, the 76ers really have no good way to limit him. Even so, Dalembert and the others also ate a lot suffering.

But in the end, the Hornets still lost the series, and it was still a very shameful 0-3, but in fact this is nothing. The black eight miracles are very few in NBA history. 3 or 0 to 3 to win, if No.1 wins a few more games, then they must be pretending to be pigs and eating tigers in the regular season.

In addition to the 76ers, the second-ranked Celtics in the East and the third-ranked Raptors also easily defeated their respective opponents.The star of the Celtics, Pierce, the No. 1998 pick in 10, played the data of a top scorer. He averaged 30.2 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game. Walker also averaged 24.4 points, 8 rebounds and With 3.6 assists, the twin stars have already destroyed the Bucks' defense, and in fact the Bucks' defense led by Ray Allen is not very good.

Not to mention the Raptors, the cousins ​​Carter and McGrady directly penetrated the old Pacers, and Miller alone could not change the outcome of the game.Although he tried his best to score 23.6 points and 3.8 assists per game, the only one who can help him is Jermaine O'Neal. Now Artest is still very young. There is nothing he can do about Carter and McGrady. It is only natural for the Pacers to be eliminated. This means that they must put reconstruction on the agenda as soon as possible.

The Nets and the Pistons played more anxiously. Kidd had already shown the level of a top point guard. It caused them a lot of trouble.After five battles between the two teams, the Nets still won the final victory. After all, the Pistons have more than enough defense but not enough offense, and Kidd can always use the pass to tear apart their defensive system. .

Unlike the East, the top four teams in the West have all encountered stubborn resistance.The Lakers and the Jazz are old rivals. More precisely, O’Neal and Malone are facing each other. The games of these two teams are full of collisions of various muscles. The scores of each game are not high. This is the style of the Jazz. But it's not the Lakers' style at all.However, Stockton and Malone are still old, and Kobe and O'Neal are in their prime. The physical gap made the Lakers finally win the series 3-1.

When Chang Wei saw Stockton reluctantly looking back at the game on TV, he couldn't help feeling sad for the veteran.If nothing else, after one season, his old partner Malone will join the Lakers with a basic salary in order to get a championship ring, which also means that the Utah Shuangsha, who once ran rampant in the league, officially disintegrated.From his personal point of view, Malone has no problem changing the court, but he did not consider Stockton's mood, because it means a betrayal of the past.

But now Malone has no intention of switching to the Lakers. To a certain extent, he hates the Lakers. He really hopes to win a championship, but seeing that he is getting older, the Lakers are in full swing in the West. That's not normal.Chang Wei didn't intend to pull out his teeth. In his opinion, Ma Long is already dead now, and it's normal that he didn't win the championship in his previous life.

The experience of the Spurs is similar to that of the Lakers. The supersonic star Payton has passed his peak period, and the team's second player, Vin Baker, is not as good as before because of long-term alcoholism. With such an outside firepower like Lewis, if Popovich hadn't insisted on letting Parker start to exercise, they might have advanced a long time ago. However, in the end, the Supersonics failed to complete the reversal. 2 were eliminated.

Relatively speaking, it is easier for the Kings to win. The Blazers basically rely on Rasheed Wallace now. As for Pippen, he is one year older and his strength has further declined.When they met the inside combination of Webber and Divac, even if Rashid averaged 25.3 points and 12.3 rebounds per game, it didn't help.He and Bunch Wells were the only ones in the entire Trail Blazers who could cause some trouble for the Kings, but they couldn't prevent the team from being out with a 0-3 disparity.

The Mavericks VS Timberwolves, which seemed to be the most suspenseful, did not have any suspense. The Mavericks' troika is too sharp, and Nowitzki has grown into a top power forward who can compete with Garnett. An astonishing 33.3 points, 15.7 rebounds, 3 steals and 1.3 blocked shots, Finley and Nash also averaged 20+ per game.After losing Szczerbiak, the Timberwolves can only rely on Garnett and Billups. How can they stop the Mavericks?They had no choice but to lose 0-3. At this time, the Timberwolves management regretted sending Sczerbiak away hastily.

But what is the solution?They can only watch the potential rookie they selected play well in the Lakers, and help the Lakers successfully eliminate the Jazz and enter the second round.In the four games in the first round, Szczerbiak averaged 19.8 points and 4.6 rebounds per game.
