Phil Jackson looked at the Red Bulls' playoff schedule with a calm expression.

"This season is also my last season with the Bulls." He had a falling out with Bulls general manager Krause at the beginning of the season.

Krause blocked Phil Jackson from seizing power and even wanted to change the lineup in advance. However, Jordan stopped him on the grounds of retiring directly. Jordan still wants to keep the original lineup and win another championship. Otherwise, Pippen may be traded out in the middle of this season.

"No matter what, our playoff experience is the richest in the league. We also have the top players in the league, and we will definitely win the championship." Phil Jackson secretly encouraged himself.

With consecutive championships, the team's characteristics have been figured out. Each team will deploy accordingly. However, Jordan's ability is so strong that no one can guard him, so he can still remain strong.

The perimeter partnership of Jordan and Pippen should be the first in history. Facing most teams' perimeters, they can lock it down as long as they are willing.

Michael Jordan is also looking at the lineup, no need to consider it in the first round. The Cavaliers are not worth mentioning, and they are not worried about the strength of the Cavaliers. There is no need to consider the second round. Neither the Heat nor the Hornets are enough to shake the Bulls' dominance.

"Between the Hornets and the Heat, the Hornets may advance." Michael Jordan secretly analyzed.

Alonzo Mourning has health problems, and his inside strength is not as good as before. The Hornets' inside line is Divac, who has good instigating ability, and Mourning will have a hard time playing. Coupled with the combination of the Hornets Glen Rice and Anthony Mason Jr., the strength is very strong.

"No matter what, I will beat all teams and win the championship again!" Jordan was full of confidence.

He only hopes that the team can stay healthy. In the first few rounds, they must defeat their opponents in the minimum number of games, otherwise physical fitness will become a problem for the team.

Media outlets such as TNT and ESPN have begun touting the Bulls.

"After winning his fifth regular season MVP, Michael has already launched a sprint towards his sixth championship."

"The Bulls led by Michael Jordan will be the ultimate winner of this season. Their strength is still better than any other team."

"Michael is still Michael, others have to wait!"

"The championship belongs to the Bulls, their dominance is invincible." Fans also believe that the Bulls are the strongest and cannot be defeated.

At the beginning of the season, the Bulls did encounter difficulties and did not play well in the first ten games. However, by the end of the season, the Bulls still won 62 games and their winning rate was still astonishing.

The Pacers have won 58 games and the Nets have won 56 games, the same as last season, but their ranking improved by two places. This season, many Eastern Conference teams have suffered injuries, with the Magic and Pistons falling directly out of the playoff lineup. "Penny" Hardaway and Grant Hill are gradually plagued by injuries and have become tired.

The players that the league had previously promoted seemed to have failed to live up to expectations. Instead, players like Carter began to rise crazily.

After Carter, players from the class of 96 began to compete for power. Kobe had a showdown with the Lakers and wanted the starting position. Iverson became the core of the team, Camby won the block title, and Antoine Walker was selected as an All-Star. There are also players such as Marbury and Ray Allen, all of whom have shown their ability as All-Star players.

Among the rookies in 97, Tim Duncan stood out and led the Spurs to once again become a strong player in the Western Conference. David Robinson slowly gave way. The young man was too fierce and he couldn't handle it.

The Hawks played only 4 games against the Nets. The Nets defeated their opponents with a score of 3:1.

In the fourth game, Mutombo was blocked by Carter at a critical moment. He was very helpless. He was too old to stop the young guy.

"Vince Carter is a superstar. His energy and scoring ability are unmatched. Competing with him is like competing with Jordan." Mutombo smiled bitterly. "Maybe the Nets can challenge the Bulls' hegemony."

Carter did not attend the post-game press conference, which was attended by the best player in the game, Jason Williams. He averaged only 11 rebounds per game in this series, but in the last game, he grabbed 18 rebounds and scored 18 points, which was the greatest contribution.

"I want to meet the Bulls. Last season, I was defeated by Rodman. This season, I want to defeat him." Jason Williams was already stunned. The scene of being knocked down by Rodman appeared in his mind again and again. , like a nightmare, lingering.

Calipari wanted to keep a low profile, but he didn't expect Jason Williams to dig a big hole for him. He felt bitter in his mouth. It would be easier to bring a player like Carter to the press conference.

"Jason really wants to compete with strong opponents, and so do we, but the game is one game at a time. What we have to face is the winner between the Pacers and the Knicks. No matter which team we face, it will be very difficult. . They are both top teams, and it is good luck for the Nets to meet them."

It is better to be low-key and obscene. Calipari has tasted the benefits of being low-key. After Ansuosuo killed many powerful opponents and formed a mental inertia, he naturally became accustomed to keeping a low profile and touting his teammates. He didn't want to flip over in the next round.

I don’t know what’s going on in Jason’s mind. He’s acting crazy and looking down on the Pacers and Knicks. Although the Pacers are not as good as the Nets in direct confrontation, their overall record is worse than the Nets, and the regular season is different from the playoffs. Playing well in the regular season does not mean they will play well in the playoffs.

After stepping down, Calipari directly scolded, "Idiot, if Larry Bird leads the team out of the first round, you will be injured again when he targets you."

The threat of injury directly affects career. Jason Williams is most afraid of injuries. He doesn't want to be injured at a critical moment. He is in good shape this season and has already reached the playoffs. No matter how hard he works, there are only a few games left. It's better to keep fighting every game, and then we can really negotiate a great contract.

"Remember, your goal this year is to challenge Rodman, not Dale Davis or Charles Oakley."

"I still look down on these people." Jason Williams raised his head proudly, his tone full of disdain, "I am second in the rebounding list. Only Rodman is ahead of me."

"That's right, keep a low profile. Our goal is to defeat all our opponents. Vince is so low-key now because he doesn't want to cause trouble. We only need to defeat our opponents on the court, and other things are not important." Calipari said At this time, Jason Williams has to be brainwashed.

I'm afraid that the players will have their brains twitch again and make all kinds of mistakes. It will be difficult to make up for it then.

The team even spent money to arrange for several masseurs and physical therapists to relax the players' muscles as soon as possible after the game. They seemed to see the benefits of Carter's personal team. However, the team takes care of all players, and the cost is too high, so they can only enjoy it in the playoffs.

The Nets were not fully prepared for last year's playoffs, but they are obviously much better this season.

Carter is also watching the opponent, maybe the Pacers will advance to the second round.

Charles Oakley has already called Carter, "Man, can you mess with me next season? Hahaha, the Knicks can even take care of the Pacers."

"Brother, I'm considering whether to opt out of the contract. I'm not sure whether the Nets will have enough salary space to sign you and me by then." Carter was helpless. This was the truth.

He didn't know if he could successfully recruit Oakley.

Carter can choose not to break out of the contract, but his salary will be more than 100 years next season. If he chooses to break out of the contract, his target is also an annual salary of tens of millions.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to decide." Oakley thought of the Nets and Jason Williams' contract to deal with, as well as Rasheed's contract, which are all growth contracts. Carter's contract must be the best for the team and the treatment for core players.

The playoffs continue.
