no shortcuts in basketball

There are no shortcuts in basketball Text Volume 167 Bulls vs. Heat, Horse Piss vs. Howard is helpless. After all, when you drive on a road with peak traffic all day long, it means that you will spend the whole day in traffic jams.

Compared to Howard, Magic fans are in a desperate mood at the moment.

Their star player has no room to perform, which means that not only will they continue to lose G2, but they will most likely lose the entire series.

that's the truth.

A few days later, the Bulls captured the Magic's home court on the road and swept the Magic 4-0 to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

This result even exceeded Xu Yong's expectations.

His previous judgment was that although the Magic were at a disadvantage inside, they would still face more difficulties than the numbers man.

But after four games, Howard has no substitutes, no outside defensive elite, single tactics, etc. This Magic team does have too many problems, and it is indeed a level weaker than in the past few years.

But even if this Magic can reach the Eastern Conference semifinals, this also shows that the level of the Eastern Conference teams in recent years, or the benefits are indeed a bit great.

Sweeping two consecutive rounds, the Bulls have shown the strength of a team that is a favorite to compete for the championship.

Now they can sit back and wait for their conference finals opponent as before.

The series between the Heat and the Celtics was much more intense than theirs.

The presence of Kwame Brown has significantly improved the quality of the Celtics' inside line. The Heat always rely heavily on Wade when encountering this kind of team.

After the Celtics discovered that Ray Allen's defensive effect was not good, they switched to Rondo to defend, and the effect was quite good.

Rondo's long arms, coupled with his first-level defensive performance this season, are just enough to defeat Wade.

Of course, these are not the focus of attention from the outside world at this time.

Because just the day after the Bulls eliminated the Magic, the Lakers were eliminated and were directly swept by the Mavericks!

Although the fans have always refused to believe it, they have posted on social media such as "Although the Lakers are 0-2, there have been many 0-2 comebacks in history, and the Lakers will become the next team", "Even if it is 0-3, the Lakers will become "The first team in history to complete a comeback after falling behind 0-3", but in the end the Lakers did not win a game.

The ESPN survey before the game seemed wrong, but it seemed right again, because the result of this series was a sweep, and it was indeed the group with the least suspense.

Some people were happy and some were sad. This result directly led to the climax of the Jamies.

Kobe was eliminated before James, and in such an embarrassing way. If you don't ridicule him, he's not a human being.

"You have to believe that even though the Lakers are behind 0-4, they will still come back 5-4."

"It's all Gasol's fault, he couldn't lead Kobe to win the championship like O'Neal did."

"The championship lineup was swept by the trashy Mavericks. Can Kobe consider retiring?"

……

This wave of high-energy output by James and Mi can't be refuted by Comy.

After all, every star has his own fans. Kobe is the kind of person who would say "number one loser," so naturally they won't make excuses for this or that.

If you lose, just find a way to win back next year.

But we are still human after all, and if we don’t vent our emotions, we will hurt ourselves.

So many of them took off their Kermit vests and put on the vests of their Heat opponents.

A small number of people have become new fans of the Green Army, while more people have become die-hard fans of the Bulls for 20 years.

And there's nothing wrong with that at all. 20 years ago, the Bulls were in the Jordan era.

The series is still going on, and a few days later the series between the Heat and Celtics in the East ended first.

With James' explosive touch, especially 9 of 5 three-pointers in the last game, the Heat won two games in a row, eliminated the Celtics 4-2, and also entered the Eastern Conference Finals.

In this way, the match between the Heat and the Bulls that fans had been looking forward to before the start of the playoffs finally came as scheduled.

At this time, the league announced the fourth batch of awards, the final batch of regular season awards, and the winners of the best lineup.

All-NBA teams include All-Rookie Team, All-NBA Team, and All-Defensive Team.

The Rookie of the Year generally doesn't get much attention, and the ones that really get the attention are the next two lineups.

And those two lineups are different. There are three best lineups and two defensive lineups.

Best team: Rose, Kobe, Durant, James, Howard;

Best second team: Wade, Xu Yong, Stoudemire, Nowitzki, Noah;

Best third team: Westbrook, Ginobili, Randolph, Pau Gasol, Yao Ming;

Defensive first team: Rondo, Kobe, Xu Yong, James, Howard;

Defensive second team: Paul, Iguodala, Garnett, Tyson Chandler, Yao Ming;

At this point in time, with this best lineup, there will inevitably be another bloody storm on social media.

"One first team, one second team, one third team, plus one first defense and one second defense. It turns out that the Bulls are the top team!"

"This is the first time in Yao's career that he has been selected to the All-Defensive Team. If Bosh is replaced by Yao, the Heat can still rank first in the league, or even have a better record."

"The Bulls also have O'Neal, O'Neal Jr., and Artest. This is a six-star lineup. What's there to brag about!"

……

The two sides are about to fight, and the Jamies continue to post crazy output on social media as before.

It's just that this time without Harden and Durant taking action, quite a few new Bulls fans on social media have started to compete crazily.

"You guys are really confusing right and wrong. It's because the Bulls played well this season that so many people were selected to the All-NBA team. Why didn't you say that Xu and Rose didn't make any team last season? Why didn't you say that? Is Gerald Wallace of the Bobcats still a first-team player last season?”

"Yao got the first defensive team of his career in the Bulls. On the other hand, Wade went from the first team to the second team, and then the second team defensively was gone."

"Oh, this boomerang is fine. If Yao goes to the Heat, I'm afraid he won't be able to get anything from any lineup like Bosh."

"There is the five-star Magic in the front and the six-star Bulls in the back. I think you are underestimating it. Shane Battier and Hinrich also have to count. It is only right to have eight stars."

……

Even before the game started, fans were already hyping up social media.

After the grievances between the two sides during the season, the encounter between these two teams was really like sparks hitting the earth, a standard NBA Spring Festival Gala.

At this time, for the media, it is no longer that they want to build momentum for this series, but that they want to take advantage of the traffic of this series.

For example, in the latest TNT program, Barkley and Kenny Smith made season predictions immediately.

They even made bets again during the game after a long absence.

"Believe my brother, the Heat will definitely win this series. Although their previous two series were more difficult than the Bulls, the opponents they faced were far stronger than the Bulls, so I bet on the Heat. Without hesitation, if they don't win the series, I will drink a bowl of horse piss in the studio."
