Chapter 123 Can this also become the public enemy of the alliance?
The Pacers narrowly defeated the Hornets 3:2, although Glenn Rice and David Wesley did their best in the 3rd and 4th games and played their career masterpieces in a row, tying the score.
But in the five battles, they still fell short, losing to Reggie Miller, who was possessed by the killing god, and had no choice but to stop in the first round.
The Heat were doused by the Knicks 2:3.
The Heat became the only team to be beaten among the 4 upper-half teams in the Eastern Conference, and their departure was extremely tragic.
And the Knicks didn't do much better.
Although they defeated the Heat, the two sides broke out in a large-scale brawl for the second consecutive year in the first round, and many of the main players had to miss the first two games of the series, which directly made the Bulls' road to promotion much easier.
The famous scene where Van Gundy was dragged for dozens of meters while holding Mourning's thigh happened again, and it became an interesting story that the NBA would not be able to jump through for decades to come.
Compared with the New York vs. Chicago, which is considered to be no suspense, the showdown between the Celtics and the Pacers is considered to be a pin-point match with Maiman, and it is difficult to distinguish.
The Celtics have famous coaches, super rookies, and established veterans.
But the Pacers also have their forever proud Reggie, All-Star member Schmitz, and former All-Star 'Kim Left Hand' Chris Mullin.
There is consensus among the people that this round of series may become the most anxious and inexorable round of the second round. Many people think that the game will be played in seven games.
And because of the presence of Reggie Miller, more people are optimistic about the Pacers winning this round of the series.
West side:
The Jazz beat the Rockets 3-2.
The Houston Rockets led by the veteran brought great trouble to the Jazz’s double brakes. ‘Glider’ Drakes and ‘Big Dream’ Olajuwon were still at the same level, and almost made their old rivals overturn in the first round.
It is worth mentioning that the talented striker Antoine Walker that they traded this season has performed well in the playoffs, averaging 24 points and 12 rebounds in the first round. Facing the league's first power forward Karl Malone, he had no chance. Don't fall behind! Make Houston fans extremely happy and see a bright future!
The second Western Supersonic beat the Timberwolves 3:2, and almost overturned. The young wolf kings Garnett and Marbury led the pack of wolves and madly bit the top teams in the league.
The Lakers beat the Blazers 3:1, the Sharks are still invincible on the inside, and the young Kobe Bryant has also made his debut, and the two have leaked the prototype of the future ace combination.
The Spurs shot down the Suns 3:1. Under the leadership of the new twin towers Duncan and Robinson in San Antonio, the Suns' inside team was almost powerless to fight back, and they were beaten and retreated. Although the Suns dominated the outside line, their arms could not be twisted to the thighs. , In this era, when you control the inside line, you almost control the game, and the sun is almost powerless to fight back.
In the second round, the Lakers will face the Sonics and the Jazz will face the Spurs.
These two rounds of the series are destined to be extremely exciting and full of highlights!
In the gap between the first and second rounds, the league once again squeezed toothpaste and announced several awards.
The most improved player belongs to Alan Henderson of the Atlanta Hawks, and the best sixth man is taken by Danny Manning of the Suns.
The Defensive Player of the Year award went to the Atlanta Hawks' 'African Mountain' Mutombo for the second year in a row.
Lin Long also won a lot of votes in this vote, ranking third, behind Mutombo and 'Glove' Payton.
Many teammates came to comfort Lin Long.
Barkley scolded: "It's all idiots who vote for the best defensive player to not make the playoffs? It's a joke! They just look at fame! Your defense against Kemp will definitely give you all the votes 々々!"
For this matter, Lin Long doesn't care.
Although he lost a lot of victory points, he also knew that his defense depended on brute force and lacked skills.
But now that he has low post defense skills, coupled with his hard work, Lin Long is confident that he will monopolize this award from next year!
The roster of the best defensive team was also announced at the same time as the roster of the best defensive player.
Mutombo, Payton, and Lin Long, the three best defensive players in the top 3 votes, were unsurprisingly selected for the Defensive First Team of the Year. The other two were selected by the Jazz's Karl Malone and the Bulls. Michael Jordan shared.
This lineup can be called star-studded. Except for Mutombo, who is a professional blue-collar center, the other four were selected for this year's All-Star, and they are all the hottest top stars in the league.
This also shows what is most important in this era: offensive and defensive integration!
Being able to attack and defend at the same time is an important reference item for verifying a star's ability.
The Defensive Lineup of the Year Second Team consists of Mookie Blaylock, Tim Duncan, Eddie Jones, Scottie Pippen and David Robinson.
After this lineup comes out, it's Lin Long's turn to encourage and comfort Bowen and Ben Wallace, and encourage them to continue to work hard. At some point in the future, they will definitely be selected for the NBA defensive lineup stably for many years!
In addition, being successfully selected for the defensive first team also allowed the system to issue a reward to Lin Long again.
"The host was successfully selected to the first defensive team of the year and won 100,000 LPs.
Lin Long was a little surprised by this generous reward. According to this situation, if he entered the NBA's best team of the year, wouldn't the LP reward be like running water?
So far, the NBA's regular season awards for this year have basically been awarded, and only the most important and most valuable MVP and the suspense of the annual lineup are still maintained.
According to the league's usual habits and urgency, in all likelihood, these two most important awards will be reserved for a certain key point in the second round before they are presented.
"I hope the person who won the mvp won't be eliminated when the award is presented.
Lin Long thought badly. He knew that although he performed well this year and led the Celtics to emerge as a force that cannot be ignored in the league, Lin Long also knew that he was far from seniority, and the MVP voted for him. Things, impression points and emotional points are also very important sometimes.
Nine times out of ten this year's MVP has nothing to do with him, and it is still the two gods of Malone and Jordan.
However, that was only this year.
Lin Long is confident that in the next year, the league will be completely changed! These old guys have ruled the league for a long time.
After another day off, the second round of the NBA playoffs, no longer let fans wait for a long time, finally officially kicked off!
From this round, the playoffs will become the best-of-7 system that fans are familiar with today, and the home and away games will also return to the 22111 distribution.
The Celtics are united in the North Shore Garden and welcome the unyielding division led by Reggie Miller, the Indiana Pacers.
Whenever you talk about the Pacers in the 80s and 90s, or the Pacers with Reggie Miller, there are always stories and classic pictures.
They are also probably the most special and unique team in the NBA at this stage.
It's not because they are strong enough to always keep the impact on the championship.
Even the previous year, the 1996-1997 season, the Pacers failed to make the playoffs.
But that doesn't prevent them from having the most popular, market and most die-hard fans in the United States.
The reason why it is special is because this team has a crazy temperament from top to bottom.
Unyielding, proud, and my stubborn stubbornness.
This is most evident from their leader Reggie Miller.
There are many kings and talents in NBA history.
However, in his 18-year career like Miller, he has only been selected for 3 3 teams and 5 All-Stars. He has never won a championship, and he has even entered the finals only once, but he has received numerous praises and numerous sought after "々" . Alien ", in the entire basketball industry is absolutely the only one, there is no branch.
When Miller was born, he was diagnosed with a hip deformity by a doctor. Not to mention playing basketball, even walking like an ordinary person was once called a luxury.
After that, even when he was selected by the Pacers, Indiana fans didn't care about the thin shooter at all. On draft day, they sent him and the Pacers' management an overwhelming amount of boos and questions.
The stubborn Miller went from being unable to walk, to being disliked by fans, and step by step into today's urban hero and basketball superstar. He faced the Knicks in 9 seconds and 8 points in the playoffs!
In the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals, he scored 25 points in the fourth quarter, giving the New Yorkers an unforgettable throat-cutting gift.
The classic pictures have created the tradition and temperament of the Pacers who will never admit defeat and strive for the first place.
They may not be the most powerful team in the NBA, but if they were to pick one of the toughest and toughest teams in the NBA, the Pacers would definitely be elected.
It is such a team, Auerbach led the Kyle (did) special team to do a lot of preparation before the game.
Researched the Pacers' tactical system and weaknesses on both ends of the offense and defense, and how to deal with them.
Auerbach himself was also prepared to win seven difficult battles.
This round of the series, and the game against the Cavaliers, is definitely not the same game!
On the night of the game, Lin Long arrived at the North Shore Garden Stadium 3 hours early.
Instead, Theron called Lin Long, hoping that he could arrive at the stadium earlier to deliver his tickets.
Theron said that he is also a popular actress in Hollywood now, and he really doesn't want to be taken by the paparazzi any more unnecessary photos, so he simply came to the arena early to collect tickets and make a time difference.
Lin Longg asked the staff for a ticket, and drove to the vicinity of the player-only parking area in the arena. He found that a Toyota nanny car he had never seen before was parked here.
The windows are all covered with all-black solar film.
People can't see the inside of the car from the outside at all, very much like the special agent car in the movie.
Just when Lin Long was guessing who bought the new car, the door of Toyota suddenly opened.
Sairon's beautiful face stretched out from inside: "Lin, here, get in the car.""
Lin Long looked left and right, and after confirming that there were no people taking pictures nearby, he did not hesitate to step into the back of the car.
