The series between the Suns and the Clippers went through seven games, but Nash finally came out on top. In the tiebreaker, Nash scored 45 points, helping the Suns defeat the Clippers 113-109 and reach the second place.

wheel.

The Suns played seven games in this series and had one day off. The second round of the series will begin on May 7th. Zen Master snickered behind his back. The brothers from the same city are so good. The Clippers gave them a big assist.

.

On May 6, the long-awaited tiebreaker between the Cavaliers and the 76ers finally came.

In the end, the Cavaliers, who still had the home court advantage, took the initiative after returning home. Larry Hughes finally successfully defended Iverson for one game in the series, limiting Iverson to only 10 of 33 shots.

, only scored 29 points and 5 assists, while James steadily scored 33 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, helping the Cavaliers defeat the 76ers in the tiebreaker 92-80 and advance to the second round.

Finally, all the games in the first round were played, and the matchups in the second round were revealed.

The two-round series between the Suns and Lakers, and the Heat and Nets will start on May 7; the two-round series between the Spurs and Mavericks, and the Hawks and Cavaliers will start on May 8.

The Eagles coaching staff called their players and informed them to report at 9 a.m. on May 7 to start training against the Cavaliers.

For the Hawks, waiting for five days was not a waste. The players' technical training and regular tactical training have been maintained. Moreover, the Cavaliers had to come from Cleveland on the 7th, so there was no time for the Hawks to prepare for the game.

There are many teams.

Although the Cavaliers knew that their opponent in the second round was the Hawks before they advanced, and they had more time to prepare tactics, they did not have much time to prepare tactics for the second round. They finished the tiebreaker.

Before, I didn't know that I would be able to advance. Although the Cavaliers and 76ers were definitely confident of advancing, they definitely didn't have much preparation.

Overall, the Eagles' preparation time is still more advantageous. After all, in five days, the coaching staff can change teams to prepare tactics every day.

Coupled with the fact that the team has an advantage in terms of strength, the coaching staff is not panicked at all.

…

…

Seeing Iverson being eliminated in the first round, Liu Mang had some regrets.

James, Iverson, these two stars, Liu Mang all wants to compete with them.

It's a pity that I can only choose one of the two...

After Liu Mang received the call from Stockton, he watched Iverson and James hugging and chatting for a long time on the TV. It felt strange that the two of them were showing off their feelings together?

Iverson averaged 31 points, 3 rebounds, 10 assists and 3.3 steals per game in the series. James averaged 30.7 points, 7.7 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game. They are evenly matched. Iverson has a slight advantage overall, but James has a relatively better helper in Larry Hugh.

Compared with Si and Big Z, Iverson's teammates were a little worse than these two. Webb was blown up by Big Z.

Iverson has a weird personality, but James has a good temper. It was not like after the 2001 Finals, where Kobe and Iverson didn't say a word. After the game, the two of them still felt a little sympathetic to each other.

Liu Mang was a little regretful that he could not play against Iverson again, but he was still very excited to play against James in the playoffs.

"Mangzi, don't be careless in the second round. James' skills are not good, so you should be able to defeat him easily." Liu Mang's father looked like he knew how to play.

"Yes, yes, yes." Of course Liu Mang knew that and couldn't be careless.

Anyone can be careless when beating anyone, but Liu Mang will never be careless when beating James and Wade.

The only thing left is these two leaders of the 03 generation. After defeating them, the second talent skill can be activated!

The second round of the series is finally coming, and it’s a series with James who has been looking forward to it for three years!

…

On May 7, the Eagles began intensive preparations at home. With the wake-up call of the first game of the first round, the Eagles players were not so relaxed this time.

Moreover, the opponent is James...

After the two training sessions for the Cavaliers in the morning and the team meeting after the training to discuss additional tactics, during the break after lunch, a group of people from the Eagles gathered together.

"Ace, LeBron played great in the first round. His statistics are much better than yours. How are we going to play with him?" Jason Terry asked.

"Just for fun, you know how to play. We were abused on the 21st and we didn't know to be more vigilant?" Liu Mang retorted.

"Ace, what's on your tactical board?" Jason Terry asked, pointing to the tactical board in Liu Mang's hand.

"Mike and I have discussed the tactics to deal with LeBron. Our defensive training will be on this tomorrow morning. Mike and I have been discussing it for several days."

"Let's see, what kind of tactic is this! You still said you don't want to play?"

"No, no, no, I really don't want to play, I just want to kill him..."

…

James arrived at the Phillips Arena parking lot, blew in the Appalachian mountain breeze, and sneezed.

"Atlanta is a nice place, but the climate is too humid." James said to his substitute Newbell.

"It's easy to catch a cold here, but the humid weather is good for your skin." Newbell is very concerned about his appearance.

"Ira, you are right. In the summer, I like to go to places with humid climates such as the West Coast or the South Coast to take care of myself." James responded, then spread his arms and enjoyed the humid mountain breeze of the Appalachian Mountains.

.

"Ira, are you going to meet Ace and the others?"

"No, I'm going to train."

"Me too, I won't go to the party this time. It's the elimination match with Ace..."

James and Newbell walked into Phillips Arena, walked through the normal passage used by visiting team players and fans, and entered the visiting team's locker room.

The fact that James and Newbell can come together means that the two of them are 'proficient' in skin care, but it's hard to say what the effect will be on the appearance.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Anyway, Newbell’s hairline is getting higher and higher with the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers finished playing the 76ers at home last night, and rushed to Atlanta from Cleveland at noon today, and it was already lunch time when they arrived.

James and his teammates went to the hotel to have a meal, and then went to Phillips Arena for training.

Not everyone is here, some people need to rest, and James can't control it. The team has no training scheduled this afternoon. They just played a tiebreaker and only have one day of rest before they play the second round of the series.

After 13 years, the Cavaliers once again reached the second round of the playoffs. This is undoubtedly an exciting thing for the Cavaliers players, but for the 31-year-old veteran Big Z, the first round game

Both played 36 minutes, a full 10 minutes more than the regular season, and needed a rest.

The Cavaliers really don't have many young players. Newbell, who had left the Hawks for a few years, was already 31 years old and began to lose his hair.

But when Newbell saw James secretly raising his hairband by one centimeter next to him, he immediately regained his balance. They were all hairband men, and Newbell knew what this meant.

When James arrived at this arena, there was a bit of a cold air about the championship permeating the surroundings, but he was used to it, and this was not the case every time he came here...

…

…

On the night of May 7, the series between the Lakers and the Suns and the series between the Heat and the Nets kicked off the second round of the playoffs.

Both games were broadcast live across the United States. In the second round of the playoffs, except for the Eagles, five of the remaining seven teams are the opponents that the Eagles may face next.

Therefore, the entire Eagles team stayed at Phillips Arena and watched these two national live broadcasts together. The Lakers and Heat are the opponents that the Eagles are most likely to encounter next. It is even possible that the Lakers and Heat are the remaining teams of the Eagles.

opponents in the next two-round series.

In the series between the Lakers and the Suns, compared to the confrontation between the Suns and the Spurs last year, the Lakers and Suns played much uglier this year. Nash only sent out 7 assists and his scoring was not as good.

It was so explosive last year and only scored 20 points.

And Diaw, who replaced Stoudemire at the center position, was really miserable in the playoffs. He was defeated by Brand in the first round and averaged more than 30 points per game. In the second round, he met Yao Ming...

With 37 points, 8 rebounds, 5 blocks, and 4 assists, Yao Ming went berserk in the first game of the second round. He could dunk the ball after catching the ball. He hit one after another, and there was no double team inside. Yao Ming was just playing around.

With Stoudemire retired, the Suns seemed to have no problems in the regular season, but in the playoffs, they were beaten unnecessarily by the opponent's super insider in two consecutive series.

Jackson took advantage of the difference in the lineups of the two sides to play D'Antoni as much as he wanted.

D'Antoni clearly has an advantage on the outside, but when it comes to running and gunning, D'Antoni just doesn't know how to use it. Moreover, substitute players such as Eddie House and James Jones who performed very well in the regular season, in the playoffs.

Suddenly there is no need. I have to use the seven-man rotation of Nash, Raja Bell, Barbosa, Tim Thomas, Jim Jackson, Marion, and Diaw to death. One more will not work. I insist on playing seven.

People rotate.

95 to 88, the Lakers limited the Suns to only 88 points and defeated the Suns at home.

The Suns had seven players on the court and six scored in double figures. If only six players scored in double figures, it would look really good.

However, only seven players scored, with the highest scoring only 20 points. The second-highest player, Diaw, only made 6 of 23 shots and scored 14 points, and was beaten to death by the Lakers.

When Liu Mang and Mike Woodson studied the Lakers' defense together, they felt that the most bizarre thing was that the Lakers' defense against the Suns seemed so effective. It was as if D'Antoni was directing the Suns to proactively attack and make the Lakers defend.

.

He is also the "chef" who has won the best coach. If you give him Jordan and Pippen, he can make a great dish; give him Kobe and O'Neal, he can make another great dish; give him Kobe and Yao Ming, and he can make another great dish.

Another great dish can be made.

But D'Antoni, no matter what ingredients are given to him, what he makes is spicy and sour potato shreds... Everyone likes it, but it won't be on the table in the playoffs.
