Chapter 134 Advancement and not being favored
The fifth game between the Magic and the Heat was originally supposed to be a difficult game, but when a group of Magic's role players unexpectedly broke out, the Magic won the game and also got the match point. The angry Pat Riley, of course, sprayed his gang in the visiting locker room of Amway Arena.

As for the Magic, the next game is about to go to Miami's away game. They shouted the slogan: "Win the game, avoid long nights and dreams", and their fighting spirit was high.

The East and West playoffs are also turbulent. When the Jazz hoped to win a direct promotion in their next game, the Lakers unexpectedly broke out and refused to sweep. In the duel between the Rockets and the Supersonics, the Rockets won Match point, but the gap between the two sides is still pitifully small.

The sixth game between the Magic and the Heat is still very important to both sides. The Magic wants to win directly and enter the next round to avoid long nights and dreams.The Heat, which is impossible to give up, hope to grab the victory of this game and force the series into the tiebreaker.

The game was on the verge of breaking out. This game was at the Heat's home court. There were fewer fans beside the stadium than expected. The Magic, thinking about the next round, launched a fierce attack from the very beginning of the game.

In the first quarter, regardless of his unhealed body, Jonny kept shooting three-pointers and running without hesitation.Doug Christie, who was not in the state of the previous game, tried his best to defend Tim Hardaway on the defensive end. Halfway through the first quarter, Tim Hardaway had a tendency to be guarded by Doug Christie.And Ronnie Secali seems to have recovered his regular season form from the last game. He made consecutive mid-range shots and played PJ Brown with his feet. In the first quarter, the Magic led by 11 points.

The collapse of the Heat is just around the corner, but in the second quarter, Pat Riley, who is good at inspiring, roared passionately, and the Heat actually thrived for a while in the second quarter. The Magic was not on the scene throughout the second quarter Occupying a slight advantage, but fortunately, the Magic did not lose points. They tied with the Heat in the second quarter. At halftime, the Magic still led by 11 points.

During the halftime break, Richie Adubatu used the way he learned in the playoffs to encourage the players, and once again encouraged the players: "We are still leading by 11 points! 11 points, keep this Advantage! We can advance! The Eastern Conference finals are waving to us, work hard! In the third quarter, beat them!"

In the Heat's locker room, the furious Pat Riley continued to spit out his own spitting stars. The Heat's players felt a gust of wind and rain. It will be a more violent offensive by the Magic.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the magic lineup was the starting point guard Anfernee Hardaway, the starting shooting guard Jonny Lee, the starting small forward Dennis Scott, the starting power forward Ronnie Secali, and the starting center Marku Scamby, the Magic used the team's strongest three-point lineup to play a mad attack tactic.The deep "three" sound of the DJ on the scene continued to sound in the American Airlines Arena.

In the third quarter, the Heat were completely defeated. They were scored 45 points by the Magic in a single quarter. The Magic also relied on their terrifying performance in the third quarter to directly widen the point difference to 30 points. The game ended in the third quarter. up.

In the end, the Magic beat the Heat with 27 points, and they beat the Heat 4:2 to advance to the next round. Before they could celebrate, the league soon announced the schedule for the Eastern Conference Finals. The moment the Magic had just advanced, they had to start thinking about it. Their opponents in the next round.

Bulls, the name was very powerful in the 20s of the 90th century. In the three seasons from 1991 to 1993, the Bulls completed three consecutive championships, and then Michael Jordan retired. In 1995, Jordan returned and immediately won the championship. This season is Jordan In the second full season after returning, the Bulls are heading for their second consecutive championship.

The Magic should feel tricky, because their opponents are very strong. They scored the second best record in the history of 69 wins and 13 losses in the regular season, and the first regular season record in history was created by them a season ago. In addition, after the two rounds of the series, the Bulls have won every round, the kind of master who almost crippled the opponent, Jordan is in hot form, Pippen is in good form, and more importantly, Rodman It is stronger than Jordan's inside partner in the first three crowns!

Moreover, Michael Jordan in the past two seasons has already completed the apotheosis. People are full of praise for Jordan's performance. Even if Jordan has some bad performances, there will be no unfavorable remarks in the media For example, this season, Michael Jordan had a game where he hit the iron 27 times in a single game, but after that game, no one dared to stand up and say that Jordan was no longer good, but said unanimously: "This is only his own problem. Nothing to do with defense."

When Michael Jordan averaged 37.1 points per game, the media would say he had a lot of finishers.But in the finals of last season, Michael Jordan was guarded by Gary Payton and had the lowest scoring and shooting percentage in his career. However, not many people in the media dared to say that Gary Payton was Jordan's finisher, because they were afraid of being reprimanded for "this It is disrespectful to the legend!"

And in today's media, there is naturally a beehive that believes that the Bulls will win, and all the Magic can do is to persist for a few more games.In fact, there is indeed a big gap between the strength of the Magic and the Bulls.

However, at the moment when the Magic advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals, their goal was not just the Eastern Conference Finals. When people have further hopes, there will be corresponding goals. It is normal for the weaker side of the duel to lose the series, but people always have ideals, what if they come true?And Magic is betting on this realization.

For the Magic, they are not without opportunities, at least the vague discord within the Bulls is their opportunity.After all, Dennis Rodman was once a member of the Bad Boys of the Pistons, and Michael Jordan and the Bad Boys had a mortal hatred. Now Jordan may be able to endure all this because of the championship, but what if the Magic give the opponent a stimulus?Then no one can tell.

On May 1997, 5, when the Rockets narrowly beat the Supersonics by 17 points at their home court and advanced to the Western Conference Finals by 5:4, the Eastern and Western Finals matchups were all released. The Western Conference was a match between the Jazz and the Rockets, haha Kim Olajuwon faces Karl Malone.The Rockets of the Big Three struggled a little in the first two rounds of the playoffs, and some did not behave like the Big Three, which also made people doubt the prospects of the Rockets.On the contrary, the Jazz have been able to advance to several consecutive series with ease.

Therefore, the Jazz have become the favorites in the Western Conference Finals.Like the Western Conference Finals, the Eastern Conference Finals are also considered to be a one-sided game, and the Bulls are naturally very optimistic.And the finals of the East and West started under this atmosphere.
