Chapter 563: Situation between east and west
After Anderson finished asking, everyone looked at Van Gundy.
"When..." Big Van Gundy wanted to confirm it with certainty, but when the words came to his lips, he felt a little against his will.
However, in the end he gritted his teeth and insisted.
"Of course, we only lost the first game, of course we still have hope!"
Some players looked at the big screen above the court, which showed the data of the two teams in this game.
Is there hope, is there really hope?
…
The hopes that belonged to the Magic did not happen in the end.
They didn't get a win in the next game.
The second game: 118:90; the third game: 107:99, the fourth game 105:87!
The Magic team returned to the home court to recover, especially g3.
Jason Richardson made 9 of 18 shots and 4 of 12 three-pointers. He scored 25 points and 5 rebounds.
Glenn Davis made 10 of 18 shots and scored 24 points and 11 rebounds.
Under the attack of these two, the Magic almost won.
However, in the end, the Knicks' stronger offensive and defensive system finally blocked the Magic's counterattack in the game.
And under the leadership of Lian Dao, they played a wave of 8:0 in the last three minutes, establishing the advantage of victory in one fell swoop.
The Magic did not get rid of the fate of being swept in the end.
In g3 and g4, Howard came to the scene to watch the game. Facing the team's defeat, Howard didn't seem too sad.
He still looks like a sunny boy, grinning heartlessly.
The on-site camera scanned Howard's smiling face and projected it onto the LED display in the Amway Center.
Orlando fans were a little disappointed with Howard.
Many fans believe that Howard shouldn't be so heartless after the team suffered a disastrous defeat.
But the big boy didn't pay much attention to media reports.
The disastrous defeat of the Magic in the playoffs made Howard clearly realize that he will never be able to win the championship in the Magic.
This also made him more determined to choose to leave Orlando.
…
The Knicks swept the Magic and became the first team to advance to the second round.
But this did not cause any sensation, because it was too normal, and the strength of the two teams was too disparate.
If the Knicks and the Magic play Game 7, it will cause a sensation.
However, not all teams in the league advance as easily as the Knicks.
Especially the tight schedule of this year's playoffs, it is doomed that this season's playoffs will not be smooth sailing.
In the Bulls' game against the Celtics, there was more than 1 minute left in the first game.
Rose was injured and fell to the ground, his painful expression cast a shadow over the entire United Center fans.
In the end, Derry Cross was helped to leave the field by the staff.
History turns, I didn't expect that after the Bulls changed their opponents in the playoffs, Rose still suffered injuries.
At that time, the Bulls led the Celtics by 12 points!
Although the Bulls defeated the Celtics 103:91 in the end, there were no smiles on the faces of all the fans at the scene.
[To be honest, I have recently followed up, changed sources, and have many voices for reading aloud. Both Android and Apple are available for .huanyuanapp. 】
They don't know what's going on with their own stars, but they know that the situation must not be optimistic.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Ross to lie on the floor in pain, hugging his knees tightly.
Some fans even silently prayed for Rose.
But in the end, God still didn't choose to look at this Chicago kid.
After the game, the team management announced Derrick Rose's injury with difficulty and a torn cruciate ligament in his knee!
When the Chicago fans heard the news, they were completely dumbfounded. They held their heads, unable to believe it, and unwilling to believe it.
Fans who understand some athletes' injuries know the meaning of this injury too well.
For some things that are not clear, after searching the Internet, I was completely stunned.
The torn cruciate ligament of the knee, for Rose, represents the reimbursement of the season, represents his lightning breakthrough, and may never be seen again.
It means that this child is just 23 years old, and he may face death!
He hasn't reached the peak yet, and the Wind City Rose hasn't fully bloomed yet, so it may face withering.
As soon as the news of Rose's injury came out, all players in the league were stunned, and everyone felt sorry for this talented No. 1 player.
Even though Lian Dao had predicted that such a result would happen, he still felt sorry for Rose.
When the two played against each other before, Lian Dao persuaded him.
However, as a star, everyone has his own pride, and Rose didn't listen to it at the time.
Lian Dao thought carefully, if he hadn't had systematic help last year, he might have to go to the playoffs even if he came back this season, right? !
And how well the state will recover, even Lian Dao has never known.
For players, injuries are their worst enemy!
With Rose's season reimbursement, everyone can guess the ending of the Bulls.
Especially when the leading star is injured, the blow to the morale of the Bulls players is the biggest.
It can be said that when the Bulls lose Rose, they also lose the core of the team's offense and the backbone.
After that, the Celtics pulled three games in a row. So far, the big score of the two teams is 1:3!
…
The Heat originally wanted to emulate the Knicks in the playoffs last year and directly sweep the 76ers.
After all, this season's 76ers lineup is not very complete. Odom was injured at the end of the season and announced that he will be reimbursed for the season.
Facing the 76ers who are short of major generals, no matter how you look at it, the Heat have no pressure throughout the process.
But the fact is that they were given a blow by the 76ers in the first game.
Without Odom, the 76ers played much more smoothly.
On the contrary, the strength of the Heat should have been better, but the state is a bit sluggish.
Under Inguodala's defense, James' state is not very good.
Although James still scored 25 points in the game, he made 8 of 21 shots from the field, but he couldn't say it was good.
In the end, they lost their first game to the 76ers in an upset.
However, the Heat's overall strength is much stronger than that of the 76ers. After adjusting their state, they won three consecutive cities.
So far, the Heat's record is the same as that of the Celtics, 3:1, and they got the match point.
The first-round series that the Knicks are most concerned about is the game between the Pacers and the Hawks.
The opponents of the Knicks in the semifinals will come from between these two teams.
However, the two teams played a little anxiously.
Although the head of the Eagles, Al Horford, has not yet returned, they have played exceptionally tough.
In the first game, the Eagles won 82:77 at the Pacers' home stadium, Banks Life Arena.
Under the defense of the Eagles, the Pacers only shot 34.5% from the field.
Among them, Paul George, who started the playoffs for the first time, made 4 of 11 shots and only scored 8 points and 5 rebounds.
Pacers star Danny Granger made 7 of 20 shots and scored 17 points and 8 rebounds.
The team's highest scorer turned out to be David West, a former Hornets power forward signed in the offseason, with 19 points and 9 rebounds.
However, although the Eagles won, they also struggled.
In particular, they lack Al Horford inside, and the team's rebounds are far lower than the Pacers.
Royne Hibbert, known as "Black Yao Ming", scored 8 points and 14 rebounds in this game.
In the G2 game, the Pacers showed their determination to defend their home court, and four of the five starters scored in double figures.
Among them, David West, Danny Granger and George Hill scored 18 points respectively.
"Pickled Pepper" Paul George also scored 17 points and 8 rebounds.
In the end, thanks to the overall better performance of the Pacers, they evened the score at home.
After g3 and g4, the two teams each won a game.
In the fourth game, Hawks center Al Horford returned from injury and scored 12 points and 5 rebounds off the bench.
From the current point of view, either of these two teams is likely to become the opponent of the Knicks in the semifinals.
Especially after Horford's comeback, the strength of the two sides is comparable.
This means that the Knicks can have at least 4 or 5 days of rest.
…
There are also two teams in the West that swept to advance.
The Spurs swept the Jazz to advance The Thunder swept the Nuggets to advance.
Although the Clippers did not sweep the Grizzlies, after four games, the Clippers took the lead in getting the match point
3:1, everyone thought it was only a matter of time before the Grizzlies were eliminated.
The combat effectiveness of the Grizzlies has declined seriously. After Zach Dorff returned from injury, he could never regain his previous peak state.
The strongest floor flow, now only the floor flow is left, especially in the face of the more flexible Griffin.
The **** bear Randolph struggled very hard.
The previous game won was still due to the sixth man OJ Mayo's prowess on the bench.
In the second quarter, he led the bench lineup to score 28:21.
In one fell swoop, not to mention filling the hole dug by the starter in the first quarter, it also helped the team establish a leading advantage.
Randolph recovered in the second half and finally maintained the lead, otherwise the Grizzlies should go fishing now.
How far the Grizzlies can go depends on the performance of the "black and white bears".
As long as the two of them play well, the Grizzlies may not be hopeless.
