Chapter 525: Reach the semifinals

"Fifth shooting guard new ( to find the latest chapter!
Iverson is the soul of Philadelphia.
At home in Philadelphia, the Cavaliers suffered a full boo.
Even the reminders and shouts of the teams on the court are not clear to each other, so that Wagner has to stick to Shentong's ears to communicate information.
"This Niang's is about to catch up with the busiest time in the nightclub." Wagner shouted.
"Communicate in another way, and if this continues, we will be overwhelmed!" Shen Tong turned around and shouted in Wagner's ear.
It was the rest time at the end of the first quarter of the game. The Cavaliers temporarily trailed the 76ers by 8 points 19-27.
Iverson opened the scoring king mode at the beginning of the game and scored consecutive individual singles.
Almost the whole team is doing the ball and screen for Iverson, and the Cavaliers' zone defense and double-teaming tactics, because the communication between teammates is overwhelmed by the noise made by the home fans, so the defensive rhythm often fails to keep up, resulting in Iverson succeeded again and again.
...
With Shentong's proposal, the players opened another way of communication in the second quarter.
This method must be used only when the running-in is in place and even the personal relationship is very good.
That's... eye contact!
Wagner holds the ball at the top of the arc.
Iverson kept waving and harassing, while pressing tightly.
Wagner cast a look: Bastard, what to look at, it's not enough!
James hurriedly stepped forward to cover, his generous figure blocked Iverson.
Wagner dribbled the ball quickly, and his eyes exchanged with Shen Tong in the bottom corner.
Shen Tong shook his eyes, and then quickly slid along the bottom line to the penalty area.
Wagner received it immediately and threw the ball to the basket with both hands.
Dalem Porter's ability to intercept at the basket is quite good, and the Haitian center's big hands bring defensive deterrence at the basket as much as the 2.23m tall Z.
But when he stretched out his hand to stop the ball in the air, he found that the pass was too high.
This is a mistake!
Dalem Porter just thought of this, only to feel the sound of breaking through the air beside him.
Shentong single-handedly exceeded Dalembert's fingertips with two full palms, caught Wagner's pass in the air, and slammed into the basket!
After scoring the goal, Shentong, James, and Wagner folded their hands together, slammed them, and let out a roar.
This is a tacit understanding from the "iron triangle of nightclubs"!
This is the "second language" cultivated by three people who often go to noisy nightclubs together!
Although the verbal communication was lost, the eye contact came faster.
And according to the transmission of eye contact information, the first reaction will be triggered immediately, which is quite fast.
When looking around at the nightclub, I looked at a hot girl.
The other party looked over and immediately killed the glass of wine in his hand...
This kind of knee-jerk reaction is quite low for the players who have been training tactics all year round.
So in the second quarter, the Cavaliers evened the score.
In the second half, Gu Deng came off the court to rest, James topped the fourth position and Miller played the third position.
When facing Miller, Korver scored two three-pointers in a row, and he was a little unbeatable. He kept spreading his hands and interacting with the fans on the sidelines, while grunting in his mouth and not knowing what to say. , But this behavior is tantamount to a challenge to Miller.
When the Chicago Bulls won six consecutive championships, Reggie Miller never beat Jordan, let alone Korver.
Thus, Miller, who was eager for revenge, avenged his grudge on the spot.
Two quarters in the second half, exactly one and a half, Miller made 5 of 5 3-pointers from the outside, and Korver, who defended at the same time, missed all the next three shots. This gave people a taste of how the old shooter was doing both offense and defense. End style.
On the sidelines, Paul Silas said emotionally to his assistant team: "With Reggie, the team's offensive system has been enriched a lot, and the outside shooting has a stronger point. He is willing to come to Cleveland, it is great."
In the end, Iverson scored 39 points, the 76ers still lost 102-108 to the Cavaliers, a big score behind 0-3.
The former King Chris Webber, who was given high hopes by Philadelphia, failed to support Iverson. He made 5 of 10 shots without free throws and only scored 10 points and 5 rebounds, making him a blue-collar player.
Shentong routinely scored 30+, he scored 33 points.
James had a triple-double with 19 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.
With 39 points and the team still lost, Iverson finally got angry.
There was a problem with the Sixers' locker room.
According to informed sources, Iverson had a big fight with Webber in the locker room.
When the two big brothers quarreled, people including Willy Green, Korver, Dalembert and others even suppressed their breathing, and did not dare to breathe.
Only one person dares to stand up as a peacemaker.
This guy is called Iguodala.
Even worse, after Iguodala came forward, Iverson and Webber really stopped arguing.
Since that day, Iguodala has been privately called "Big Brother" by the 76ers...
...
Philadelphia failed to perform miracles in the 2002 Finals, and neither did this time.
The Cavaliers beat the 76ers 98-83 in the fourth game and swept their opponents 4-0.
Iverson averaged 28 points and 8 assists per game, but failed to help the team achieve a victory, which made Iverson feel very frustrated.
The combination of Iverson + Weber was also officially deemed a failure.
After this round of the series, there are rumors that Iverson will leave Philadelphia.
...
Other games in the first round of the Eastern Conference.
The Heat are playing against the Pacers who are incomplete.
After Miller's departure and the battle of Auburn Hills Palace, the Pacers seemed to have lost their championship spirit.
Under the leadership of O'Neal and Wade in the "playoffs" state, the Heat beat the Pacers 4-0 and broke into the second round.
Team coach Rick Carlisle said that during the offseason, he will have a heart-to-heart talk with every player on the team to help them return to form as soon as possible.
Carlisle believes that the Pacers' record this season is not the real level, but was affected by the war of the century.
When the players can concentrate all their energy on the court, they are still strong contenders for the Eastern Conference championship.
The Pistons and Wizards played very intensely in this series.
This is a contest between spear and shield.
The Pistons, who lost the Spurs last season, are determined to take revenge. Although they have experienced the Battle of Auburn Hills like the Pacers, their impact is limited.
Moreover, the players of Motor City are generally tougher than those of the Pacers.
However, the Pistons can't easily pass the barrier, because their opponent has Arenas promoted to the "General".
This season the Wizards returned to the playoffs strongly with the three Musketeers of Arenas, Jamison and Hughes.
In the Pistons' first two home games, Arenas scored 34 and 32 points respectively, leading the Wizards to a 2-0 lead away.
This surprised the experts and fans who were generally optimistic about the Pistons before the game.
Arenas looked very happy at the press conference after the second game. He said that the team will play two more games at home to resolve the battle after returning to Washington.
This sentence means that the Wizards will sweep the Pistons 4-0.
This sentence made the Pistons quite dissatisfied.
The last person with similar remarks was Tracy McGrady when he played for the Magic. As a result, the latter's team was pulled by the Pistons for 3 consecutive games with a 3-1 lead, and was eliminated 3-4.
Arenas's words also make many people worry that the Wizards will repeat the Magic's mistakes. After all, normally speaking, the Pistons are still superior to the Wizards.
After the second game, Arenas invited the team to the nightclub in Detroit and went crazy.
The Auto City is a "blue-collar city" with an underdeveloped economy, so most of the economic sources come from some special services in nightclubs.
In the third game, the Pistons swept the Wizards 90-69 away.
With Billups and Hamilton double-teamed, Arenas made only 3 of 17 shots and only scored 11 points. In addition, there were 5 turnovers.
Arenas's game aroused ridicule from many media people.
What is "Arenas soft-footed shrimp", "one-night-in-Detroit, he left a lot of essence", "Big talk is early again" and so on.
The Pistons also pulled back a game away first.
But in the fourth game, Arenas reappeared as a "general", and Jamison and Hughes have also become Arenas' powerful men.
Arenas scored 30 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, Jamison had 22 points and 10 rebounds, and Hughes had 17 points and 5 steals.
The Wizards defeated the Pistons 102-95 and got the match point 3-1!
The Pistons returning to the home court had no retreat. They fought with the Wizards to overtime, and relied on Hamilton's jump shot before the end of the game. They narrowly beat the Wizards by 2 points and kept the suspense.
According to the game system, the sixth game will come to the Wizards' home court.
The Wizards must win this battle, otherwise they will go to Detroit with 3-3.
In this game, Arenas used the power of feeding, and Jamison, who has always been disgusted with hand-to-hand combat, also began to compete for the double Wallace card position at the basket.
At the last moment of the game, Arenas threw an incredible logo three-pointer, helping the team to lead by 4 points with 1.3 seconds left, and sent the Wizards to the Eastern Conference semifinals on their own!
The Wizards beat the Pistons 4-2 and broke the first round of the playoffs' first upset.
Arenas can finally fulfill his big talk.
...
The Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls' game was the closest in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, but the score failed to show.
With the help of Paul Pierce, Al Jefferson, Ricky Davis, returning Antoine Walker and Gary Payton who joined this season, the Celtics easily beat the offensive and defensive balance 4-1 The Bulls advance to the next round.
The Celtics can win so easily, in addition to the relative strength of the main lineup, the bench lineup is also very luxurious.
Reeve LaFrentz, Tony Allen, Delonte West, Kendrick Perkins, and others are all capable fighters.
But their opponent in the next round is the mighty Cleveland Cavaliers.
...
The west side.
The first-ranked Suns faced the eighth-ranked Grizzlies.
This season, the Suns created a whirlwind in the league. After several seasons of decline, the Suns won 62.
Steve Nash is also considered the most popular candidate for MVP this season.
After the Grizzlies made a huge breakthrough last season, this season they continue to play five-on-five-under under the leadership of coach Hubie Brown.
Unfortunately, this tactic failed to help the Grizzlies go further this season.
The Suns defeated the Grizzlies 4-0 in the playoffs and advanced to the Western Conference semifinals.
...
The Spurs, No. 2 in the West, played against the Nuggets, No. 7 in the West.
The Spurs, which have a GDP portfolio, are still performing calmly. The entire regular season is not obvious, but at the last glance, they are second in the Western Conference.
As the defending champions, the Spurs will only fully show their old side in the playoffs.
The Nuggets played very well this season and made a road in the powerful West.
After acquiring the brutalist power forward Kenyon Martin, the team has strong players in all positions.
In the first game of the series, the Nuggets shocked the Spurs in a cold sweat.
They turned away from away and defeated the Spurs 93-87 to take a 1-0 lead.
Unexpectedly, the Nuggets overtook the score in the fourth quarter and finally won.
They beat the Spurs with a 20-12 single in the fourth quarter.
The Nuggets' first performance was a wake-up call for the Spurs.
Then, the awakened Spurs began to teach the Nuggets a man.
104-76, the Spurs washed the Nuggets in the second game, and continued to win three consecutive games, eliminating the Nuggets 4-1.
The Spurs are still hot, and the Nuggets' first victory looks more like a sneak attack.
...
The third SuperSonic in the West is facing the sixth King in the West.
The Kings, who lost Weber, built a team with marksman Peja Stojakovic as the core.
However, this Croatian marksman, like his predecessor Kukoc, does not have the ability to lead a team alone in the NBA.
The Kings relied on their overall strength to barely make the playoffs, but they did not seem to be competitive for the Western Conference championship.
The rise of the Sonics this season is surprising.
But this round of the series is very interesting, that is, the battle between two marksman Peja and Ray Allen.
In the end, the series ended with a 4-1 elimination of the Kings by the Sonics.
Ray Allen won the sharpshooter battle, but the real reason the Sonics were able to beat the Kings was that their rebounds completely suppressed the Kings.
After a failed season, the Kings seem to be determined to completely rebuild.
...
In addition to Shentong's Cavaliers and 76ers, Chinese fans are most concerned about this round of series between the Rockets and Mavericks played by Yao Ming.
The Rockets took a surprisingly 2-0 lead away from home!
This process seems to be the same as the last time and space where Shentong was located.
So Shentong also called Yao Ming and McGrady specifically to tell them that they must ensure the victory in the third game and that they must not relax because of the lead.
"You must focus on the end of the game!"
Yao Ming and McGrady, who received the call from Shentong, did indeed do it in the game.
Although they had a 20-point lead in the third quarter, they still did not relax.
Although the Mavericks once narrowed the score gap to 10 points, the Rockets did not relax anymore, so the Rockets finally transformed their lead into a victory. They defeated the Mavericks 106-102 and led by 3-0!
After learning that the Rockets had won the third victory, Shentong believed that the fate of the Rockets in this time and space would change.
But things are unpredictable.
In the next game, the Mavericks miraculously pulled four consecutive rounds, eliminated the Rockets 4-3, and created NBA history!
The Mavericks became the first team in NBA history to fall behind 0-3 and finally come back 4-3.
When Shen Tong learned the news, the whole person was stunned.
He did not expect that the final result of the Rockets has not changed compared with the last time and space. Instead, it has been more humiliatingly nailed to the stigma of NBA history, becoming the background board for the Dallas Mavericks to boast of themselves in the future~EbookFREE.me~ After the first round, 8 teams advanced and 8 teams were eliminated.
The list of matches for the East and West semi-finals was released.

(1) Cleveland Cavaliers VS Boston Celtics (4)
