Chapter 345: First round of the playoffs

(Today the unit worked overtime and came back late. There is only one chapter.)
The Wizards' first round opponent is the Philadelphia 76ers, ranked eighth in the east.
No one would think that the Sixers could cause any trouble for the Wizards in the first round.
The prestige of 73 wins in the regular season is still there, not just any cat or dog can challenge the Wizards.
Not to mention that the 76ers ranked eighth in the east, even if they entered the second round, facing the fourth and fifth winners, there will be no chance of surprise.
The only thing in the entire East that can pose a little threat to the Wizards is the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Wizards lost to the Cavaliers in two of the nine games lost in the regular season this season. Of course, the Cavaliers also accounted for George's reimbursement for the season.
At present, the general situation generally believes that the Wizards and Cavaliers will have a more than 90% probability of going to the East. When the two teams collide in the East, the Wizards may win 68%, and the Cavaliers are 32%.
The curious team wins because of the Wizards' 73 horrors in the regular season and the rise of Leonard in the second half of the regular season.
And the people who are optimistic about the Cavaliers win are because the Wizards George can't make the debut, plus a part of the Cavaliers Super Four.
...
Soon, the first round of the playoffs began.
The 76ers currently have the biggest coffee spot, the 10-year-old No. 2 pick John Wall, who was supposed to be the No. 1 point guard. Jeremy Lin took the No. 1 spot and moved to the Philadelphia 76ers, but Although there is no title of the champion, Wall's strength is still beyond doubt.
The horrible physical qualities and the traditional style of play of the point guards make it impossible to play explosive data like point guards like Curry and Westbrook, but they are more stable.
This season, Wall can average 19.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game. The efficiency is extremely high. It is precisely because of his outstanding performance that the 76ers stood out in the fierce competition and became the playoffs. A member of the team.
But Wall's limit is nothing more...
The first match of the two teams took place on April 19 at the Wizards' home court.
The whole game was a one-sided situation. The Wizards took the absolute initiative from the beginning of the game and kept it until the end of the game.
After the playoffs, it seems that it is not much different from the regular season of the Wizards playing the regular season. It is also easy to win.
After the game, the 76ers' core Wall at the press conference could not help but bluntly.
"To be honest, this Wizards team can already be regarded as a historically strong team. They have the best players in the league, the most outstanding coaches, two consecutive championships, and won this season. With a record of 73 wins and 9 losses, I can't think of any way to beat them..."
It can be seen that Wall is very frustrated. After all, this is the first time he has participated in the playoffs since joining NBA, but just a game has already made him a little frustrated.
To the extreme frustration, he said such a near-surrender in front of the media.
The main core of a team has surrendered, what else do others play?
If it is in peacetime, Wall's remarks will surely cause an uproar in the league, and then arouse many people to talk about their professional attitude.
auzw.com But this time, not many people blame him, and there are even a lot of ball "fans" who take the initiative to leave comments on the Internet to comfort Wall.
"Don’t be discouraged, John, this is not your fault. The Wizards are indeed a historical team. Any opponents who stand in front of it will be crushed by irresistible. The Heat’s Big Three are not beaten by them. Is it gone? You are still young, the future belongs to you!"
This is probably a bowl of poisonous chicken soup, and I don't know what Wall will think after seeing it.
John Wall, born in 1990, is only two years younger than Curry.
At his current age, Curry is about to get his second regular season mvp trophy, and led his team to the championship and won the fmvp trophy.
And what about Wall now? I haven't even participated in the All-Star game. Does the future belong to him? What a joke?
...
The Wizards' game against the 76ers soon changed from a total score of 1:0 to 4:0. There was no turbulence at the two homes, and at the 76ers' home, the situation was exactly the same.
No surprises, the Wizards swept the 76ers 4:0 in the first round, successfully approaching the second round.
In the first round, the Wizards were the first 4:0 knockout opponents to stand out, followed by the Cleveland Cavaliers and the No. 1 Blazers in the West.
The Cavaliers' opponent is the Heat. In the face of the old club, James has no mercy. Although he and Wade's brother are still in love, his relationship with Pat Riley has fallen to the freezing point. After all, he chose to focus on When returning to the Cavaliers, Pat Riley sneered at him in public interviews, claiming that only the weak will choose to escape after failure.
Also at 4:0, the Cavaliers swept the Heat and advanced into the second round.
On the other side, the Blazers faced the sun without Nash and easily won with a score of 4:0.
Tyson Chandler's arrival did bring the Blazers something different from the time of Jordan, their only goal this season is to rush to the crown.
Except for these three teams, there will be no 4:0 sweeping games.
The Nets in the East third and the Pacers in sixth place fought to the sixth game. The Nets finally eliminated the Pacers with a score of 4:2.
Without George, the Pacers’ trajectory also changed, but Larry Bird’s vision and leadership ability were remarkable, although he did not get the Eastern Conference regular ranking in the 13-14 season like another time and space. One, but the Pacers still have a certain strength, which also caused a lot of trouble for Jeremy Lin.
The fourth bull in the East and the fifth Knicks played 7 games.
The Bulls lost Ross and damaged small forward Ruhr Deng. There was no Jimmy Butler who should have replaced Ruhr Deng.
But even so, in the face of the Knicks, this team still showed extremely tenacious tenacity, using the defense to drag the series to the tiebreaker.
The final winner of the two teams was the Knicks. With the outbreak of Anthony in Game 7, the Knicks struggled to win the first round and advance to the second round.
However, this is not worthy of the Knicks' "fans" because they are facing opponents in the second round, it is their playoffs for many years, the Washington Wizards.
The Wizards restrained the Heat in the playoffs, on the one hand because of the grudge between Wang Xiao and Pat Riley, and on the other hand because these two teams are the two strongest teams in the East, and there will inevitably be a battle.
But the Knicks were really unlucky.
In the playoffs, the Knicks met the Wizards no less frequently than the Heat, and like the Heat, there was no one win.
Wang Xiao and his Wizards have almost become the Knicks' nightmare in the playoffs!
