I really play basketball

Chapter 183 The first round of the playoffs

"52vs48, the first game of the playoffs, STA won again!"

After the game, the Warriors defeated the Trail Blazers and did not grab the headlines.

The only report was also because Lin Xing scored a high score, which happened to beat Danzi by 4 points.

Because of the Supersonics vs. Suns game on the same day, Barkley sparked against Kemp.

Although they didn't fight directly, the two of them were on top of each other throughout the game.

Lin Xing expressed his understanding. After all, the two power forwards are both top-notch and ruffian.

A little friction on the pitch, that's normal.

The key point is the outcome of this game, who wins and who loses is very important.

This season, the sun is still going downhill.

Injuries are one aspect, and the more critical thing is that Barkley has declined.

There wasn't much decline, but on the whole, he still came down from the peak.

As far as this game is concerned, in the duel between two top power forwards, Kemp slightly suppressed Barkley.

坎普27分11个篮板2个助攻1个抢断2个盖帽，状态很顶。

巴克利22分14个篮板4个助攻2个抢断2个盖帽，其实也不比坎普差。

But at the critical moment, Kemp scored 7 points in a row, and the key couldn't be more critical.

Relying on Kemp's key 7 points, the Sonics won the game.

Lin Xing watched the fire from the other side. For this game, he understood:
When they kill the Blazers, their opponent in the second round of the playoffs should be the Sonics.

"Brothers fighting..."

Lin Xing didn't panic at all when playing supersonic.

Because now he has Rodman, in the same position, Rodman can't guard Barkley, nor can he guard Malone.

But to guard against Camp, who has almost no back and only relies on his physical athleticism and flexibility to play, is still in his hands.

"Looking at it this way, the sword is pointing to the west!"

……

After the first round of the playoffs——

西部第一的勇士1比0开拓者，西部第二的马刺1比0湖人，西部第三的爵士1比0火箭，西部第四的超音速也1比0太阳。

All are ups and downs, and there is no one game against the top.

In the East, the Eastern Conference's No. 1 Magic beat the Celtics to lead 0-[-];

The Knicks, second in the Eastern Conference, also beat the Cavaliers 1-0, and the Pacers, third in the Eastern Conference, also led the Eagles 1-0.

Only the Bulls, No. [-] in the Eastern Conference, turned to the Hornets.

"Michael's 48 points are too critical. Of course, it is also related to the Bulls' introduction of Buck Williams before the trade deadline."

"Without Buck Williams' 11 rebounds, the Bulls' rebounds were first exploded, and then they were inside. It's useless to score points no matter how much Mike dunks."

The first round of the first round of the playoffs is over, and then the second round will start one after another.

The first is the G2 battle between the Spurs vs. the Lakers and the Jazz vs. the Rockets.

The Lakers were still a little weaker, and they were beaten by the Spurs again, falling behind 0-2.

But the Jazz vs. Rockets, the old Nelson who felt that the Rockets were "not in a good state" in the last game, this game can be regarded as seeing the upper limit of the Rockets.

From the beginning of the game, the Rockets had the upper hand.

In the first quarter, they scored 39 points, 39 to 32, leading the Jazz by 7 points.

At the end of halftime, the Jazz caught up to only 5 points behind.

But in the third quarter, the Jazz collapsed.

The Rockets scored 39 points in another quarter, and the Jazz who defended only scored 21 points in a single quarter.

They won by 18 points in a single quarter, including the 5-point lead in the first half.

At the end of the three quarters, the Rockets led by 23 points, and the suspense of the game ended early.

Why are rockets so ruthless?

It wasn't Dameng who abused the Jazz's inside line, but the Rockets' role players broke out.

Kenny Smith scored 7 three-pointers and 32 points, and had 6 rebounds and 9 assists. This is not a role player, this is clearly another super giant!

滑翔机30分7个助攻，霍里3记三分21分7个篮板。

And backup center Pete Chilkat had nine points and six rebounds and backup guard Mario Eli had 9 points and four assists. …

反倒是大梦，就只有27分7个篮板4个助攻2个抢断3个盖帽入账。

In this offensive battle, the Rockets scored 140 points!
You know, this is the 90s, you know, there is no overtime in this game.

"This attack is too ruthless..."

Old Nelson was almost stunned, and Lin Xing at the side also thought about it.

Looking at the posture, the Jazz in the first round should not be able to stop the Rockets.

Not to mention the Spurs this round.

As a general in the playoffs, Dameng can abuse with one hand, which is really not the same level.

and so……

"We're playing the Rockets again in the Western Conference Finals. It's so difficult!"

Lin Xing doesn't think that with the addition of Rodman this season, they will be able to wrestle with the Rockets, which is the peak dream.

"Rodman plus the general can't prevent a big dream, what's the use of a single Rodman..."

On the second day of the second round of the first-round playoffs, in the Eastern Conference, the Magic beat the Celtics again, leading 2-0.

The Bulls were chased by the Hornets for a game. Danzi tried his best with 32 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists.

Aunt Larry Johnson had 25 points and 6 rebounds, which was nothing special.

The Hornets' winning point is that Mourning has 23 points and 20 rebounds, and the inside win is numb.

On the third day, it was still east.

The Knicks were pulled by the Cavaliers and tied 1-1.

The Pacers won another game against the Eagles, leading 2-0.

Then, on the fourth day, it was the Warriors' turn to play again.

Warriors vs. Trail Blazers G2, before the game, the league announced the ownership of the best rookie.

"Grant Hill and Jason Kidd jointly hoisted the best rookie trophy, a historic moment!"

Not long after the league's official announcement, Lin Xing received a call from Kidd.

On the other end of the phone, Ji Bugong yelled: "Sida, did you see, now I'm also the best rookie!"

"I'm the same as you, both champions and best rookies..."

Hearing that this guy is so bold and reckless, is he still like me?
Lin Xing couldn't help but hit Kidd: "Shit, you have to share your best rookie with others, and my best rookie belongs to me alone!"

"And don't forget, I have one more rookie game MVP!"

On the other end of the phone, Kidd stopped talking.

He understood that the gap between him and Lin Xing was still huge.

As far as this season is concerned, he has gone home to fish, but Lin Xing fought hard in the playoffs, scoring 52 points in the first game.

"The difference is too big..."

Back to the game, in G2 of the Warriors vs. the Trail Blazers, Xiao Chong appeared on the Warriors' starting list.

He replaced Chris Mullin, which also means that Lin Xing played the third position in this game.

"The NCAA star played point guard, power forward and center,

Starbucks started as a power forward in the NBA. He returned to the point guard position this season. In this game, he appeared at the small forward position again.

Among the five positions on the basketball court, he seems to have only played shooting guard? "

Groom Albert tilted his head, but Matt Gudica reminded him:
"Don't forget that in the regular season game between the Warriors and the Pacers this year, Don Nelson rested most of the main players.

In that game, Star appeared at the shooting guard position because he had to guard against Reggie Miller. "

"He has played in all five positions!"

"In the NBA, the only position he hasn't played is center."

Lin Xing knew that if it weren't for the fact that the center forward is too buggy these days, it would be thankless for him to be a guest center forward.

Otherwise, with old Nelson's "mad scientist" piss, Lin Xing would not be a guest center, he would be a center...

In this game, Lin Xing, who played as a small forward, did not need to switch defenses, and directly faced Clifford Robinson.

PJ Carlesimo next door is scolding the next door: "Fk, how dare this old guy Downey? Then a guy who just recovered from a serious injury starts?"

On the Warriors' side, old Nelson was sitting in danger. He knew that if Xiao Chong and Lin Xing appeared at the same time, the Blazers would no longer be able to defend like G1.

Because the Warriors have two powerful ball-holding points, it is unrealistic for the Blazers to only defend one.

So at the beginning of the game, Lin Xing watched the Blazers continue to defend against him, and directly gave the ball to Xiao Chong.

Xiao Chong faced Rod Strickland and scored 6 points in a row. Strickland, who had no one to help, was a little suspicious of life.

In the stands, Wes Unseld, the president of operations of the Washington Bullets who missed the playoffs early, appeared in a heavy disguise.

He watched Xiao Chong's operation of scoring 6 points in a row, and couldn't help clapping his hands.

While clapping his hands, the bone crusher turned his head sideways and asked the assistant beside him——

"Did Downey Jr. say that they sent Tim Hardaway away, which position they hope to get?"

The assistant shook his head: "No, but to see what they mean, the inside line will not be changed."

"It's understandable that their lineup is only one top insider away from taking off."

The most indispensable thing for bullets is the inside line.

They had Webber, they had Juwan Howard, and they had George Muresan.

They also had Tom Gugliotta at the trade deadline this season.

Because the inside line was really crowded, before the trade deadline, they sent Gugliota to the Timberwolves, who were also crowded inside.

Bone Crusher, who felt that he had a lot of chips, first showed a confident smile, and then frowned: "I don't want to change unless I'm an insider...they want Chris, right?"

If it was Weber, Bone Crusher would be a little hesitant.

The main reason is that Weber is more comprehensive and has a brighter future than Uncle Huo.

If it could be exchanged, he would choose to exchange Uncle Huo for Xiao Chong instead of Weber.

On the court, the worm who scored 6 points in a row forced the Blazers to move the defense to his side.

After that, it was time for Lin Xing to perform.

In the stands, the bone crusher watched Lin Xing fly up and down, followed closely by Xiao Chong, and completely stirred up the Blazers' defense line into a pot of porridge.

And it's still dark and cloudy after a pot of porridge.

He couldn't help showing a hint of envy: "It would be great if the Warriors were willing to trade for Stalin, let alone Chris, I even gave the Warriors this year's lottery pick..."

Soon, he thought of the draft of the previous year.

To be honest, Lin Xing had a chance at the time, but the bone crusher wanted an insider more.

and so……

"Oh, if you miss it, you miss it..."

Xiao Chong scored 6 points in a row, followed by Lin Xing who scored 8 points and 2 assists in a row.

As soon as the game started, the Blazers completely collapsed.

"The power of double stars is still strong!"

On the sidelines, Old Nelson sighed with emotion.

Although Lin Xing partnered with Xiao Chong, the effect of 1+1 greater than 2 was achieved.

But he is still not going to keep the worm, because he knows:

In this game, Lin Xingjia Xiaochong can be greater than 2 because the opponent is the Blazers.

For a strong first-line team, let alone 1+1 is greater than 2, I'm afraid it won't even be equal to 2.

Of course, it's too early to make a conclusion at this moment.

Even the old Nelson has made up his mind to use this playoff, and finally try——

Without a super center, can they use offense to make a difference in this era of centers.

If not, Old Nelson is ready to change his mind.

The trading worm is what he left behind.

Even in the Warriors, Chris Gatlin, who has already made a name for himself, is not impossible to trade.

All in all, if this season is not successful.

That summer, the Warriors were about to make a major shakeup.

For old Nelson, why he is called a mad scientist, isn't it because he has been doing experiments?

For this experiment, he has a lot of chips in his hand, so he can do whatever he wants...

Going back to this game, the Blazers still couldn't handle the double star's power.

The collapse of defense is only one aspect, and there is also offense. Rod Strickland can beat the bug, but he can't beat Rodman's assistance and supplementary defense.

Not to mention Clifford Robinson, he was eaten to death by Lin Xing.

Both offense and defense blossomed, and the Warriors quickly won the game, 2-0 in the series.

Just one game away from advancing to the next round.

In another game on the same day, the Sonics and the Suns played fiercely.

客场作战，太阳靠着凯文·约翰逊的27分6个篮板10个助攻2个抢断，以及巴克利的23分15个篮板4个助攻2个抢断1个盖帽，扳回一城。

The series was tied 1-1, and the situation seemed a bit confusing.

……

After that, it was the third round of the first round of the playoffs.

Still in accordance with the previous order, the Spurs beat the Lakers again, 3-0, swept their opponents, and advanced to the next round.

Perhaps it was because the Lakers lost. After this game, the league announced the ownership of the best coach.

The old Nelson relied on the record of leading the league to lead the team, defeated the Lakers coach Del Harris who led the team to make great progress, and became the best coach of the season.

"The playoffs haven't finished yet, it's not bad to win the regular season first..."

At the press conference, Old Nelson held up the trophy and said so.

In the second game of the Rockets vs. Jazz, the Jazz won again.

Ma Long scored 32 points and 19 rebounds, not only holding on, but also suppressing the big dream of 30 points and 10 rebounds.

The situation was complicated and confusing, and old Nelson looked confused.

However, Lin Xing understood that this season, the Rockets not only had a hard time in the regular season, but also in the playoffs.

Winning one game and losing one game is normal operation.

In the East, the Magic beat the Celtics, sweeping 3-0 to advance.

The Bulls beat the Hornets again, leading 2-1.

The Knicks beat the Cavaliers again, leading 2-1.

The Pacers beat the Eagles, and like the Magic, they swept 3-0 to advance.

Back in the West, it's the Warriors' turn again.

The Blazers have gone to the sky and can't find a way to beat the Warriors.

So in this game, the Warriors still won it easily, 3-0, which was also a sweep.

As for the opponents in the next round of the playoffs, the Supersonics vs. the Suns also decided the outcome in the G3 battle.

Kevin Johnson, who led the team to victory in the last game, immediately fell in front of Gary Payton, who was like an iron wall in this game.

2 to 1, the Supersonics won the match point, only one game away from joining forces with the brothers...
