After a 4-day break, the Charlotte Bobcats once again faced the Atlanta Hawks, who had long been aiming for the draft year.

Nearly a thousand Chinese fans who came to watch the game, Wang Hanxiang and Misha, and many from George Mason Under the watchful eyes of the fans who came from the university, the Charlotte Bobcats played a wave in the fourth quarter. Zhou Lin, who only scored 9 points in the first three quarters, scored 12 points in the last quarter, scoring 21 points, 6 assists and 4 assists. Rebound, lead the team to victory.

Then on April 4, the Bobcats lost to the dying Indiana Pacers.

On April 4, they faced the Miami Heat, the top-ranked team in the Southeast Division.

The full-stack Charlotte Bobcats won again. O'Neal scored 15 points and 9 rebounds, but a knee injury in February made Wade truce until the last game. Although Wade came back in this game, But it also played from the bench and was in poor form, scoring only 12 points. In the end, the Charlotte Bobcats won their 38th game at the American Airlines Center.

Zhou Lin, Gerald Wallace, and Brandon Roy all scored 20+.

After Zhou Lin came back, the Bobcats won 8 of 6 games, and their record improved to 38 wins and 40 losses.

After losing to the Charlotte Bobcats, the 41-36 Miami Heat also advanced to fourth in the East because of the top spot in the division.

The Chicago Bulls, who also achieved 46 wins and 32 losses, ranked fifth in the East because of their winning percentage against the Cavaliers.

The current record of the top five has been locked in the playoffs.

The Bobcats, with 38 wins and 40 losses, are ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference.

The Orlando Magic and New Jersey Nets, who also had a hard time, suffered frequent defeats and their records fell to 36-41, 1.5 games behind the Charlotte Bobcats.

The Pacers are 34 wins and 42 losses, ranking 10th in the Eastern Conference and theoretically have the possibility of entering the playoffs. It depends on the faces of the first three teams.

In the remaining four games, the Bobcats are facing the Miami Heat, the Chicago Bulls and the Milwaukee Bucks and the New York Knicks, two teams that missed the playoffs.

On April 4, when the Bobcats faced the Miami Heat again, Pat Riley asked O'Neal to take a break to prepare for the playoffs.

On April 4th, the Bobcats played back-to-back games, but because the three main players have rested for at least three days, it should not be difficult to win the game against Milwaukee and the Bucks.

And once this game is won, then because of the relationship between the game and the loss, even if the New Jersey Nets win all three games, the Bobcats' record is still better than that of the New Jersey Nets and they will advance.

In a historic game, the Bobcats only led by 3 points at halftime, but another wave of 32-19 in the third quarter directly turned the fourth quarter into garbage time.

Exactly the same as the last match, the Bucks seem to say again: We can win, but we don't have to.

Bucks assists, applause to send the Bobcats into the playoffs.

The Wizards also landed successfully by winning the game against the Atlanta Hawks on the 13th.

Next, put the melon seeds and peanuts, and it's up to the New Jersey Nets and the Orlando Magic to die.

Xiti won four consecutive victories and landed successfully.

Sadly, starting from April 4th, the Nets also won four games in a row, lost two to the New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers, and even defeated the 13-win Chicago Bulls in the last game.

But the New Jersey Nets, which needs to look at people's faces, were eliminated with 40 wins and 42 losses because of their direct relationship with Orlando.

The Charlotte Bobcats last played the New York Knicks, the same two teams with 40 wins.

The duel is respectively.

Pistons (1) vs Magic (8).

The young World of Warcraft, who is just entering the playoffs, will be surrounded by the Pistons. In the next four games, he will deeply perceive the Pistons' defensive skills.

Cavaliers (2) VS Wizards (7).

This is a group of old opponents. The Wizards lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers last year. The trident is still the same trident, but James is getting stronger every year.

Toronto Raptors (3) vs. Charlotte Bobcats (6).

In three regular season games, the Charlotte Bobcats were swept 0-3. The paper strength of the young Charlotte Bobcats does look a bit weak, but the weakness of the Bobcats without any experience in the playoffs will be infinitely magnified According to experts, the Charlotte Bobcats may be the weakest of the 16 Eastern and Western playoff teams, and they may even be swept out.

But it is undeniable that the Toronto Raptors chosen by the Bobcats is also extremely wise. The last time the Toronto Raptors got involved in the playoffs was when Vince Carter was in Toronto. Even the team's leading star, Chris Bosh, is also a recruit in the playoffs.

Miami Heat (4) vs. Chicago Bulls (5)

This may be the most suspenseful matchup in the playoffs (at least it seemed like this before the game), the Heat are the defending champions after all, even though Wade is suffering from injuries, and even though the old shark is getting old, everyone is still right. Inside and outside, one old and one young have expectations.

West side.

The Dallas Mavericks rank first in the Western Conference with a record of 67 wins and 15 losses.

The Phoenix Suns are second in the Western Conference with 61 wins and 21 losses.

The San Antonio Spurs are third in the Western Conference with 58 wins and 24 losses.

The Golden State Warriors rank eighth in the Eastern Conference with 42 wins and 40 losses.

The duel is respectively.

Dallas Mavericks (1) vs. Golden State Warriors (8)

With the Dallas Mavericks winning 67 games, the highest in team history in a single season, with Dirk Nowitzki entering the peak period, Cuban has already begun to imagine the taste of the championship, and the Golden State Warriors are in the second half of the season. Al Harrington and 'Martial Saint' Stephen Jackson were brought in through the Cheng trade, and the system was initially completed. The crazy experimenter Nelson led his Warriors to rely on the crazy winning streak at the end of the season, allowing them to catch up with the playoffs last bus.

But at this moment, the Golden State gang probably didn't expect, and didn't dare to think, that the Mavericks with 67 victories are far less powerful than they imagined, and they are also stronger than they imagined.

(The Mavericks in history may even be taken away by 4-1 or even 4-0, but the league has added a fig leaf to the Mavericks, but even so, the Mavericks were nailed to the stigma column)

The brilliant golden color of Oracle Stadium has also become a color that will always be remembered in history.

Phoenix Suns (2) vs. Los Angeles Lakers (7)

After the Lakers traded away O'Neal, Kobe became the boss of the Lakers, but unfortunately his record has been poor year after year.

And this playoff matchup with the Suns is a replica of last year's series, and this year's playoffs is also the last time Kobe will dance alone.

San Antonio Spurs (3) vs Denver Nuggets.

The San Antonio native who will become stronger in odd-numbered years, GDP is sharpening his sword, aiming at the championship.

After getting Iverson, the Denver Nuggets have two top 5 scoring players, but whether the altitude of the plateau can stop the Spurs' iron hoof invasion is still a huge question.

Utah Jazz (4) VS Houston Rockets (5).

The injury-ridden MM combination finally entered the playoffs again after a season, and the Utah Jazz's internal and external double evils took shape again.

In this round of series that carries the hopes of countless Chinese, it is expected that Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming can work together to break the curse of the first round.
