Although Eddy Curry is not as heavy as Yao Ming, he is only one kilogram lighter despite being more than ten centimeters shorter in height. His tonnage is quite solid, and his floor space is also wide. He looks like a version with enhanced mobility and enhanced weight.

The Big Black Bear and O'Neal couldn't hit it. It was the key to the Bulls defeating the Heat in the first round of last year's playoffs, but many people didn't notice this.

This time without Eddie Curry, although Chandler defended very well, it was difficult to defend O'Neal, who was at his peak. As soon as O'Neal sat on his butt, Chandler was squeezed away.

O'Neal was very active against the Bulls. He played 36 minutes in the game, making 16 of 25 shots, 8 of 16 free throws, and scored 40 points and 17 rebounds. He had the most brutal playoff performance in the Heat's career and grabbed a lot of points.

8 offensive rebounds.

Relying on O'Neal's 40-17 and Wade's 26 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists, the Heat defeated the Bulls 110-87 and slaughtered the Bulls by 23 points.

The second game is the first game of the series between the Spurs and Jazz.

Two highly disciplined teams played a game as ugly as the Nets' game against the Pistons. The Pistons' game against the Nets was already low enough, and the Spurs' game against the Jazz was even lower! They played against the Lakers, Mavericks, Heat and other teams.

The beautiful and ferocious offense that came out was completely different.

69 to 61, the Spurs won their first home game.

69 to 61. Although it was the playoffs, this score was one of the lowest scores in the playoffs in the past 30 years.

Since the opening games of the eight postseason series are all broadcast live across the United States, Time Warner, which broadcasts this game, feels like it is being eaten...

The game between the Suns and the Clippers was pretty good to watch. Neither team could guard the other, 117 to 109. The Suns relied on Nash to score 6 points in a row at the critical moment, sealing the victory and winning their first victory.

The most intense game was not the game where the Spurs only scored 69 points, nor was it the game between the Suns and the Clippers. Although the Spurs only won by 8 points, they were crushed throughout. It was just Popovich who used the Jazz to

Characteristics of the game, pushing the rhythm to the extreme. In order to prevent the Jazz from playing pick-and-roll, they played like that. After all, Duncan almost tortured all the super insiders. Only Malone who played pick-and-roll did not win. Duncan and Malone played in the playoffs.

We met twice in the game, and Malone won both times. Popovich was very afraid of him, so no matter how ugly the game was, he just didn't let the Jazz get out of the pick-and-roll.

The most intense game is the first game of the series between the Cavaliers and the 76ers.

Iverson and James compete!

One thing about James is great. He was even better in the playoffs than in the regular season. He scored 36 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists in a single game, one point shy of tying Liu Mang's historical record of 37 points in his first playoff game.

Iverson scored 30 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists, but Weber couldn't guard against Big Z's mid-range shot, and Big Z scored 26 points.

James' scoring spurt was so powerful that Iverson tried his best but failed to win on the road.

James won his first career playoff win, leading his team to defeat the 76ers 101-97.

…

…

"What's wrong Dinah, you're still angry, don't be angry, we will definitely win the series." Liu Mang pinched the little Loli's face and said.

The little Loli was so pinched that her mouth pouted, but she still muttered angrily: "Dina wants to sweep! Dinah wants 4 to 0! But uncle, you messed up, you lost! Even if you beat the Pacers, Dai will lose.

Na’s face was completely humiliated by the uncle!”

"Yes, yes, okay, okay, get in the car quickly, we have to go back to pick up your mother and the others." Liu Mang has been under a lot of pressure these past two days.

Over at the imperial court, everyone said that they might win the playoffs and break their own record of 16 wins and 1 loss.

Yes, we lost the first game of the playoffs.

Although there are basically no people who think the Hawks will lose in the first round except those who are too fanciful.

But in the eyes of some fans, the Eagles' three consecutive championships have cast a shadow.

Even the Pacers can lose, what else is unthinkable?

The first games of all the series in the first round of the playoffs are all over. Both sides of the seven series have played their own characteristics. They have won what should be won. The anxious game is also won by the side with better performance.

victory.

Only the Eagles have become the object of ridicule in the past two days. They don't even care about other series. Physical newspapers, TV stations, online forums, online news... are still hyping up the Pacers' upset in the first game.

A team with 39 wins defeated a team with 73 wins. No matter how this series develops, this game alone will be enough for Pacers fans to talk about it for ten years!

This is the first time in five years that a team has defeated the Eagles in the first game of a series!

The Eagles took a break on the morning of the 22nd and started preparing for the game in the afternoon.

The coaching staff is still very calm and doesn't behave like Pat Riley who trains to death after losing a game.

In the 1989 Finals, the Lakers, who had won two consecutive championships, went 11-0 in the Western Conference playoffs. It felt as exaggerated as the 2001 Lakers, but after losing the first game in the Finals, Pat Riley

Once he started his devil training, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was still selected as an All-Star substitute in the regular season despite being 42 years old, played 74 games in the regular season and played full attendance in the playoffs, retired due to injury after training in the finals, and became the first magician in the finals.

He still had an outstanding performance of 18 points, 6 rebounds and 12 assists per game. However, due to injuries and fatigue, the Lakers were still able to fight back in the first game. They collapsed in the last three games and were swept by the Pistons 4-0.

Use the past as a mirror to understand the ups and downs, and use people as a mirror to understand gains and losses.

Because of the lessons learned from that Lakers team, there is Zen Master's connivance with O'Neal.

The Eagles have learned from Pat Riley and the successful example of Jackson's correct approach. Coach Kruger was very angry when he lost the game on the night of the 21st, but the training on the 22nd did not break the previous plan.

Two training sessions, a total of 90 minutes. Counting the breaks and tactical discussions in between, there was only two hours of training on the afternoon of the 22nd. The rest of the time was for the players to rest and watch the video of the first game to mobilize the players.

Positivity.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! On April 23, the Eagles, who had been waiting for a day and two nights, finally ushered in the second game of the series against the Pacers.

In the afternoon, after Liu Mang picked up the little Loli who had been angry after losing the night before, he came to the arena. Levia had already brought Liu Mang's family to the Phillips Arena.

Liu Mang and his teammates devoted themselves to the pre-game warm-up. At 7:10 in the evening, the Eagles and Pacers players entered the competition venue at Phillips Arena. The second game of the series was about to begin.

…

Feeling the roaring fighting spirit of the Pacers, Liu Mang's fighting spirit also ignited.

Even though the Pacers players themselves thought it was impossible to win the first game, what if, what if they win again next time.

The Pacers have entered a state of unity unprecedented in the past two years.

We will talk about the future later, now they are united and want to do something big!

Artest is actively mobilizing his teammates and wants to unite them!

On the Eagles side, the Eagles players have faced ridicule on the Internet in the past two days; watching TV news and newspapers constantly talking about their loss to the Pacers, they are under great pressure.

Although they are very confident in themselves, public opinion is a knife that can kill people. The Eagles players are holding back their energy now!

At 7:27, the lights dimmed, and Rasheed Wallace's face appeared on the big screen above the stadium, his expression even more ferocious than usual.

The scene was immediately detonated, and the mood of the Eagles home fans became even more violent today.

If they lose the first game, they lose, and they themselves are making fun of their own team.

But in the second game, the Eagles, from players to fans, could not afford to lose!

Don't look at the Eagles fans who are treating the ridicule of other teams with an optimistic attitude and comforting themselves with ridicule.

But deep down, Eagles fans are angry. Now that they see the Pacers again, the anger of Eagles fans is suddenly triggered.

Liu Mang felt the seriousness of his teammates and the irritability of the fans at the scene. He was also very excited. He actually lost the first game... Most people actually have a masochistic tendency. They always want to do things that they have never experienced.

Experience it.

Now this little excitement after losing the first game filled Liu Mang's heart.

He wants revenge!

However, for the 39-win Pacers... the system did not give them a task, even if Liu Mang asked.

This is a double "injury" to Liu Mang. The unbeaten record in the first game of the series was broken, and the system did not give a task to comfort him. It is all the Pacers' fault! It is all Pan Dafu's fault!

After Rasheed Wallace's roar, Artest, who had just stepped onto the court to do something big, felt the evil gaze from Liu Mang.

Artest stared back without hesitation.

Liu Mang and Artest looked at each other for two seconds. They were evenly matched. They met a rare opponent. They felt that the other was very strong. Then they each came to their own positions and waited for the jump ball.

For the Eagles, the lineup of Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown is on the field.

The Pacers made adjustments today, with Tinsley, Anthony Johnson, Artest, Jermaine O'Neal, and Foster on the lineup.

When Stephen Jackson met Liu Mang, he played poorly on both offense and defense. In fact, he didn't defend McGrady very well. It was purely McGrady's fault. So coach Carlisle put Stephen Jackson on the bench and sent out a 32-year-old veteran with excellent defense.

Anthony Johnson plays shooting guard, but he can't make any shots anyway. It would be better to have a more aggressive defensive player.

Despite the negative news outside the court, Stephen Jackson has a glorious history of winning one-on-one fights with fans, but when faced with Liu Mang, he acts like a weak chicken every time.
