Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

Chapter 276 The first round of the playoffs

When the Rockets beat the Kings in an away game, other games of the playoffs were also unfolding in an orderly manner, and all teams were fighting for their dreams.

Let's take a look at other games in the West first. The Lakers and Supersonics games are also very strong. The Supersonics rely on Payton alone, and they can't resist the powerful offensive of the Lakers.

In the first game, Payton tried his best and couldn't compete with the 'OK' combination. Payton scored 37 points in the face of Harper's defense, but O'Neal and Kobe scored 65 points together. The Sonics were reimbursed, and the Sonics were defeated by the Lakers at 96:88. Payton's efforts were in vain.

By the time of the second game, Payton still maintained a strong combat effectiveness, and Harper continued to be blown up, but the Lakers' help defense in this game was still very successful. Facing Kobe's continuous help defense, Payton's score was overwhelmed Compressed a bit, the Lakers continued their victory, 93:82, allowing Payton to score 25 points and 11 assists in the game, once again in vain, after the game, Payton was no longer holding on to the Supersonics There is no hope, in his heart he must leave here, otherwise his championship dream will really be gone.

The third game is already a formality. Although Payton and the Supersonic players made the final resistance, are Kobe and O'Neal so easy to deal with?The answer is no, the Lakers' strong combat effectiveness allowed the Supersonics to go home completely.

99:85
The Lakers swept their opponents 3:0, and the SuperSonics became the first team to go home with the Kings.

The Lakers advanced easily and kept the same score as the Rockets.

The game between the Jazz and the Suns was not so easy. The Jazz's three veterans met the Suns' double guns in the backcourt. No one can absolutely guarantee victory over the opponent, because the strengths of the two sides are really very close.

The first game between the two sides was held in Salt Lake City. During the game, the combination of Kidd and Hardaway made the Jazz's backcourt suffer a lot, and the veteran Malone also made the Sun's inside his own backyard. Guge Neither Lyotard nor Crawford was a match for the old villain.

In this way, the first game became a game between the Suns' outside line and the Jazz's inside line.However, when Byron Russell stared hard at Hardaway and Shandon Anderson stared at Kidd like brown sugar, the Suns' offense was suppressed, and the Jazz relied on Malone's brave performance to win. After the game, at 95:89, the Jazz got off to a good start by defeating the Suns.

The second game was also completed at the home court of the Jazz. The Jazz wanted to continue to attack the Suns in the same way as the first game, but Skiles was not an idiot. In this game, the Suns let the young Sean Ma Lyon has his eye on Malone. Although the height and weight of the two are quite different, Marion's task today is not to completely suppress Malone, but to scoop Malone out of the Jazz's tactical system. Today, he defended other Jazz players like crazy, and when Malone got the ball, Marion's role was to defend Malone alone.This tactic made Malone score more today, but the Suns took the lead, and the Suns finally got Malone out.

In this game, Malone scored 43 points alone, but all the other Jazz players scored 40 points. Such a result is obviously not the opponent of the Suns.

Relying on the overall performance, at 90:83, the Suns moved back from the away game.

In the third game, the Suns returned to the home court and became even more difficult to deal with, and Kidd even played super data. With 27 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds, the score of the two sides became 2:1, and the Suns took the lead.

But the Suns did not come without a price in this game. During a layup, Hardaway collided with Malone. His injured leg was severely injured again, and Hardaway fell down again.

After being diagnosed, Hardaway will miss all the next games, and the fans of the Suns were sad for a while.

And Tiger, who was far away in Houston, was also twitching in his heart. He really didn't know if Hardaway could recover.However, the news that came over immediately made Tiger feel more at ease. The powerful medical team of the Rockets took over the follow-up treatment of Hardaway's injury after the Sun Club and Hardaway himself agreed.

The Rockets also reached an agreement with the Suns in private. The Suns will buy out Hardaway's contract. Hardaway will become a free agent, and the Suns will get the right to use the Rockets player information system in the next five years.

It's not a matter of who loses and who earns. Exchanging a Hardaway who is about to be scrapped for the Rockets' player database depends on the positions and principles of both parties.

After Tiger got the report from the Rockets medical team, Tiger finally let go of his heart. It is not impossible for Hardaway to be cured.

The fourth game between the Suns and the Jazz started without Hardaway.However, just when the Jazz thought they could get back a game, the Suns completely made the Jazz desperate by relying on their youth and running.Sean Marion, a guy who is so ugly in his shooting, made people's eyes shine. Because of his high-speed impact and Kidd's passing like a cruise missile, the Jazz's hope of advancing was completely wiped out.

91:84
The Suns eliminated the Jazz 3:1 and advanced to the semifinals. They will compete with the Lakers for the Western Conference Finals.

Looking at the backs of the three old Jazz, people know that their era is about to end.

The last series was a duel between the Trail Blazers and the Spurs. Just when people thought it would be a close game, the results of the two teams were surprising.

The first game between the two sides was at the Blazers' home court.After the start of the game, the Blazers did not expect their opponents to be so vulnerable. The old men of the Spurs are obviously not in the same state as they were last year, especially Robinson's aging, which directly reduces the defensive strength of the Spurs inside. up a few grades.And Barkley is already in decline, and his combat effectiveness has also dropped a lot.Although they had great hopes before the game against the Trail Blazers, when the game started, the Spurs really exposed their vulnerable side.

Take a look at the main lineup of the Spurs. David Robinson is 34 years old, Mario Elie is 36 years old, Barkley is 37 years old, Avery Johnson is 34 years old, and there is only one Tim Duncan, 23 years old, looking at the bench Terry Porter is 36 years old, Steve Kerr is 34 years old, God, can you find a lineup as old as them in the league?It seems unlikely.

Such a team, facing the already suffocating playoffs, can they still persist?Obviously unlikely.This series has been dubbed by many as a contest between the Old Legion and the Young Praetorians.

After the start of the game, the Blazers used their relatively young backcourt to attack the inside of the Spurs, and it was not so easy for Duncan to face Rasheed Wallace. In a sense, Rasheed De Wallace is definitely an existence that can compete with Duncan.

The old folks in the backcourt of the Spurs are really uncomfortable today. Pippen has been entangled with Barkley. Although Pippen's peak has passed, the two of them are still playing against the same old Barkley. Ruben ? Patterson took out Ray Allen's state to deal with Mario Ellie. This former "Super Mario" has lost his brilliance, and age has become the biggest obstacle for him to play on the court.

Mike Bibby faced the "little general" who had lost his vigor, and used his body to continuously oppress him. At this time, the "little general" was full of sadness.

The Blazers broke out with super fighting power. When the game ended, the Blazers themselves did not believe the score of the two sides. 107:82, the Blazers won a big victory at their home court.

And this big victory completely set the tone for the next two games between the two sides. In the second game, the Blazers continued to kill themselves. Several young people inside the Blazers made the old David Robinson feel what is youthful vigor.The Blazers' outside players let the Spurs know that youth is everything, Ruben Patterson, Mike Bibby, Damon Stoudemire, Rashad Lewis scraped off The youth storm made everyone see the bright future of the Blazers.

105:88
The Blazers once again got a victory.

The third game returned to the Spurs' home ATT Arena. Everyone knew that this would be the Spurs' last stand. This game determined whether the Spurs could be swept by their opponents.

However, the result of the game was disappointing. When the game ended, the dazzling score made all the Spurs want to cry.

111:83
The Blazers swept the Spurs with a big victory.The Blazers advanced to the semifinals with their heads held high, and their opponent was the mighty Rockets.

So far, the form of the Western Conference has been clear, the Lakers against the Suns, the Rockets against the Trail Blazers.

These four strongest teams in the West are about to start fighting.At this time, the Eastern Conference games have also been played, and the Eastern Conference teams that have advanced to the semifinals have also been produced.

The No. [-] Pacers in the East faced the Pistons with Hill and Stackhouse. The first game between the two sides began at the Pacers' Conseco Arena.

After the start of the game, the two sides were evenly matched. Hill and Stackhouse kept attacking the Pacers inside. He wanted to keep the basket to the death, but Hill's personal offensive power was too strong. Hill, who hadn't been injured yet, could be called the league's top-notch offensively.

However, what they faced today was the man who was an enemy of God, Reggie Miller.

Miller used his precise shooting to let the Pistons know what a real shooter is, and together with Cassell and Chris Mullin who came off the bench, the three combined to throw 17 three-pointers in this game .

The Pacers' three-point rain extinguished the Pistons' black-eight miracle that was about to be staged again. 106:92, the Pacers won the first game.

The second game was still in Conseco, and Hill was still vigorous, but the Pacers, who were already familiar with the Pistons' offensive style, completely blocked Hill with their overall defense. Hill only scored a poor 15 points in the whole game. Points, the Pistons are still defeated.

107:88
The Pacers successfully won the match point.

The third game was played at the Pistons' home court, the Palace of Auburn Hills. The Pistons returned to the home court, amidst the cheers of the home fans, and began to transform. Hill became Jordan, and Stackhouse became Bird.

Under the watchful eyes of the original Bird, the Pistons won a victory with a stormy offense at their home court.Hill's 31 points, Stackhouse's 29 points, and the two teamed up to score 60 points. The Pistons defeated the Pacers 95:88.

Bird looked helplessly at Stackhouse, who had a 60% hit rate today, and sighed in his heart: What a ghost, when did this kid's hit rate be so high.

However, a loss is a loss, and the Pacers didn't want to find any reason for failure. They waited silently for the arrival of the fourth game.

In the fourth game between the two sides, the Pacers did not give their opponents any chance. Reggie Miller scored 20 points, Cassel 22 points, Dale Davis 14 points, Schmitz 19 points, and Mullin 10 points. Points, Sam? Perkins 10 points, with the Pacers 6 scored in double figures.

109:92
The Pacers defeated their opponent 3:1 and won the final victory.

The game between the No. [-] Eagles in the East and the No. [-] Raptors in the East was even more exciting. The outside combination of Carter, McGrady, and Christie made the Eagles suffer a lot.

But the eagle's tough inside line also let Oakley and Willis know what power is.

The first game was played at the home court of the Eagles. The Raptors' backcourt trio broke out with amazing fighting power. Blaylock, Steve Smith and Jim Jackson failed to stop the explosion of these three people.

The three teamed up to score 67 points, making everyone look at the power of the trio. Although the Eagles tried their best to block the opponent's attack, they still failed to do so.

99:93
The Raptors stole a victory at the home court of the Eagles. Looking at the arrogant Carter, the bus began to accumulate anger.

The second game continued to be played at the Phillips Arena, the home of the Eagles. After the game started, all the Raptors players were shocked. What did they see? They saw a big yellow-skinned shark. That powerful force caused Oakley and Willis to fall completely, and the bus dominated the whole game. When the game ended, all the Eagles players who had faced the bus rubbed their chests, secretly lamenting this The Chinese are terrible.

Bus, who scored 33 points in the game, became the key to the Eagles' victory in this game. At 97:89, the Eagles pulled back a game.

The third game moved to Toronto, and the Raptors returned to the home court became extremely fierce. Carter was like the sharp claws of the Raptors, constantly biting the Eagles. With his abnormal physical fitness, he turned the eagle upside down by himself.

It is a pity that Steve Smith, the No. 12 man in the Eagles, started to explode today.Steve Smith, who has been suppressed for a long time, used 11 shots and hit [-] goals in the whole game, telling everyone that there is still such a pitcher in the league. The sharp shooter in the Dream Team [-] is back.

Tracy McGrady can only watch this guy who defends himself desperately on his head again and again, throwing one goal after another, and he can only watch.

107:96
The Eagles made the score 2:1.
The fourth game continued at the Raptors' home court. The Raptors, who had already fought their last stand, broke out with super fighting power.However, today's protagonist is not Carter, but his cousin, the young McGrady, who was stimulated by Steve Smith in the last game. Today, McGrady started his own pull-up performance, with a hit rate of up to 70%. Remembering this young man, even the head coach of the Eagles, Wilkens, shook his head on the sidelines. The Eagles lost the game without any suspense. McGrady scored 37 points in a single game and led the Raptors to win the game. victory.

No one thought that the Raptors could fight the Eagles to such an extent that people put all their attention on the last game.

However, what is surprising is that after arriving in Atlanta this time, the Raptors' competitive state suddenly deteriorated a lot. When they played against the Eagles, the Eagles only took 3 quarters to completely seal the victory.

101:90
The Eagles advanced to the semifinals.Their opponent will be the winner of the 76ers and the Heat.

Like the game between the Eagles and the Raptors, the game between the 76ers and the Heat also played five games, and it was more intense and intense.

Mourning on Mutombo, Iverson on Tim? Hardaway.The collision between the two teams can be called sparks.

In the first game in Miami, Iverson's performance was impeccable. He used his skills to conquer the away Heat fans.Although these people were extremely harsh, they were also convinced by this little elf.Iverson, who scored 42 points, conquered Miami in his own way.

105:96
The 76ers won away.But this victory angered the Miami players. They gritted their teeth and looked red in the second game, sticking to Iverson like a plaster. As long as Iverson gets the ball, at least three people will Pay attention to him, the Heat rely on this kind of defense to let Iverson know what a defense in the playoffs is.

91:85
The Heat pulled one back.

The third game was moved to Philadelphia, but when they returned to the 76ers at home, it seemed that they had not found a way to deal with the Heat. Facing the Heat's iron wall defense, the 76ers fell again.

88:80
The Heat won again.

However, in the fourth game, the two teams just fell apart. The Heat's defense started when Iverson gave up his personal attack and started a series of games. With 10 points, the 20ers finally won the game.

93:85
And the victory of this game also made Iverson start to think more.

The last game of the two teams returned to the Heat's home court, and the two teams that had returned to the same starting line started a life-and-death contest.

In this game, Iverson was completely lost in the Heat's muscle forest, and the Heat had the last laugh relying on their brutal and tenacious defense.

89:83
The Heat struggled to advance to the second round, and their opponent was the Eagles, who were as difficult as they beat their opponents.

And the most incomprehensible is the game between the Knicks and the Hornets. The Knicks ended the series in only three games. Even the Knicks players were surprised that they won so easily, 107:92,100: 88,95:90, the Knicks won three games in a row.

After the game, someone interviewed the Hornets star Eddie Jones. Referring to these three games, Eddie Jones said with a wry smile: "The Knicks added a cover to their team's basket. I don't know why, just No shot, maybe God is a New York fan?"

In this way, the results of the Eastern Conference also came out, the Eagles against the Heat, and the Knicks against the Pacers.

So far, the first round of the playoffs of the 99-00 season is over, and more intense competition is about to begin.

　Keep asking, thank you from the heavens.
