In the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Heat and the Bobcats defeated the Magic and the Cavaliers and entered the division semi-finals respectively.

Except for the Heat and the Bobcats, the remaining two groups still have no choice but to win.

The second-place Bucks in the East and the seventh-place Bulls in the East are now playing so fiercely in the first round with the 3-2,68-point Bucks and less than 50-point Bulls. The Bucks were forced to take the lead by winning the Tianwang Mountain.

It can be seen how unreliable the Eastern Conference regular season record is this season. Let's put it that way. In terms of hard strength, the Bulls can win more than 60 wins in any season in NBA history.

Deron Williams, Ben Gordon, Nosioni, Lorden, Big Z…

Let's just say that, this bull is the powerful version of the bull that has not been left by the boss of the Science and Technology Corporation in history to be defeated.

Ben Gordon and Lollden successfully completed their growth, and at the same time, the team's chemistry was also very good due to Deron's existence.

Moreover, most of the players of this Bulls grew up together, which can be said to be a replica of the Western Spurs, and their cohesion is also very top-notch.

When you encounter such a strong, extremely united team, and have good chemistry, whether it is the Bucks, Heat or Raptors, it is actually not that easy to play.

The Raptors, the number one in the Eastern Conference last season, were also forced into a very embarrassment by the Bulls, not to mention that the Bulls are stronger this season.

So, this series was quite exciting, and the competition between Ben Gordon and Ray Allen, the group of brothers, became the focus of this series.

The battle between the two teams was that senior Ray Allen received a frontcourt rebound pass from Iguodala in the last second, and defeated the Bulls with three-pointers from outside the three-point line on the right corner.

Before Ray Allen scored a three-pointer, Ben Gordon had already scored a three-pointer to win the Bucks.

With less than 10 seconds left in the game, the Bucks were two points behind in the end. Many people think that the Bucks are about to finish.

I have to say that Ben Gordon is indeed quite powerful in his successful growth, and this round of series matches with Ray Allen was quite difficult to match.

After all, he is a player who has almost humiliated Wade in the 2006-2007 season in history.

After the Heat won the championship in history, Ben Gordon and the Bulls slaughtered 42 points in the opening game. After this game, the Heat directly secured the most defending champion in history.

In the playoffs at the end of the season, Ben Gordon led the Bulls to directly sweep the defending champion Heat in the first round of the playoffs. In the direct match with Wade, Ben Gordon averaged 25.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.3 steals, and defeated Wade, who averaged 23.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.3 steals. The two had similar data, but Ben Gordon's shooting percentage was 2% higher, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 40%.

By the way, in this series, Louldeng has the highest average score per game, scoring 26.3 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.8 steals per game with a shooting percentage of nearly 60%.

In history, if it weren't for the transaction message from Kedao, the Bulls would have become the overlord, but they would have become a powerful man in the east.

In this time and space, without the disruption of the boss of the Science and Technology, the Bulls' Second Young Master became extremely eye-catching after becoming the third Young Master. It is one of the most anticipated groups in the entire NBA now.

Another highly anticipated young group in the league, of course, is Durant, Curry's Bucks, and Marquette's Ice and Storm combination.

Now, two groups representing the future of the East have fought against each other, and they are hard to distinguish, which is really exciting. The fans are very excited, and David Stern is also very excited.

The Bucks and Bulls who played 3-2 are still not optimistic. Judging from the entire series, the Bucks have the advantage in tactical systems. The five small offensive Bulls cannot defend, but the Bulls have an explosion point. Big Z's offensive Bucks cannot defend, and Deron's fixed-point singles against Curry, Ben Gordon's nerve knife, and Lorden's offense are not easy to defend.

The main reason is that the Bucks' five small players are too short, while the Bulls' players are not only tall, but also accurate, and they are simply the Heat, the number one small.

Big Z is Yao Ming, Lorden is Bosh, Deron is Wade, and there is nothing wrong with Ben Gordon's super nerve knife saying that he is Iverson.

However, overall, although the Bulls are like the Heat, their stability is indeed not as strong as the Heat.

So the Bucks are still dominant, after all, they are already 3 to 2 and have the strength.

Another group of matches in the East, the Raptors, the third in the East and the sixth in the East, the Nets, the first five games of this series also played 3-2.

However, unlike the Bulls Bucks' 3-2, the Nets and Raptors' 3-2 were the Nets who won the Battle of Kings Mountain.

The third-placed Raptors in the East, after the All-Star, was a strong player in the NBA regular season with Milicic's rise.

In the final stage of the regular season, when both the Bucks and the Heat needed to win, they defeated these two teams in a strong manner.

Logically speaking, although the Nets' five-forward team is also strong, they should not be the opponent of the Raptors.

This is common sense, but this series is very unreasonable.

From the first game of the playoffs in this round of the series, the Nets have been targeting Nash frantically on both the defensive and offensive ends.

During the offense, the Nets' Five Fronts played Nash crazy singles. Everyone knows that the strongest point of the Five Fronts is to name the name. Five swingers can name the opponent's defensive weaknesses. Nash can't even avoid it. Moreover, the Nets' name Nash is specifically looking for Nash's physical confrontation.

While defending, the Nets' five-fronts rotated fast enough, Joe Johnson, Carter, Richard Jefferson, Marion, and Martin Ge, their defenses are also online, each with long legs and long hands, and everyone can press against Nash.

As long as Nash dribbles through the half, these forward players of the Nets will take turns to press Nash to fight against Nash.

Nash is not afraid of the tall forward line, but he can't stand being targeted wildly when defending, and is also being "slapped" when attacking.

Who can withstand this when you are defending and slapping while attacking?

Of course, it is a bit exaggerating to say that eating elbows and slaps are a bit exaggerated, but the intensity of the Nets in this series is indeed very high, almost reaching the level of the Nets and the Bobcats in the 2007 playoffs.

In that series in 2007, almost every offense and defense between the Nets and the Bobcats was from the flesh level.

The reason why the Bobcats won the Nets was because Jordan's unfair ethics of stealing chickens in the first game, which gave the Bobcats a home advantage and won by their home advantage.

In this round of series, the Nets fell behind 0-2 from the beginning, but when they returned to the home court, the Nets, who had a higher defensive intensity, scored two consecutive games. By the way, in the G4 game, Nash fell out of the field in a confrontation with Marion, and his face was full of blood.

This round is not that Marion is dirty. There are 2 minutes left in the end of the game. Both teams consume a lot. The players on both teams can't control their movements and their movements are a little deformed.

The accidental nose injury of G4 Nash obviously affected the performance of G5 Nash.

Nash made 11 of 18 shots in G4, scoring 31 points away, and was in full swing.

But when he returned to the home court, he only made 7 of 17 shots. This hit rate is OK for others, but it is a bit lower for Nash.

Losing G5's home game and losing his home advantage, the Nets can continue to have great intensity at their home court in G6, and Nash's nose fractures continues to be doubted in his future state, so the Raptors were almost forced into a desperate situation.

Many people say that the Raptors can only rely on their new superstar Milicic to share the pressure for Nash.

Milicic averaged 9 of 18 shots in the first five games, averaging 24 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks per game. This data is good, but it is not enough.

Especially when outside players such as Rashad Lewis, Josh Smith and Lagabay face the Nets' five-forward ball, Milicic and O'Neal Jr.'s performance will become more important, especially Milicic, who has become the main attack and tactical core of the Raptors' interior, will become more important.

However, as a young man under 24 years old, facing an epic team like the Nets, he needs to play a saving-level game, which really puts a lot of pressure on him.

If Milicic really does this, then there is no doubt that he will go up the top of the superstar again and become a super giant.

He, the successor to Garnett and Nowitzki, will be worthy of his name.

Now in the Raptors' situation, Nash obviously cannot organize everything. Milicic not only needs to score, but also needs to assume the responsibility of the team's first organization.

In other words, if Milicic wants to save the Raptors, he must play Garnett + Nowitzki's level. Not to mention the peak Garnett + Nowitzki, 90% of Garnett + Nowitzki's is the minimum.

So, those experts said that Milicic would have to evolve into a super giant again before he could lead the Raptors to complete a reversal against the Nets. This is true.

Ninety percent of the peak Garnett + Nowitzki is of course a super giant.

So these two series are interesting. The Bucks' Ray Allen completed the change of fate against the will of heaven.

The Raptors' Milicic needs to stand up for the first time after Nash was injured and saved the team from the will of heaven.

The two teams ranked second and third, facing the seventh and sixth teams, need their own stars to change their names against the sky to advance. From this, we can also see how terrifying the East is now.

Let's just say that, judging from the current situation in the East, perhaps the three weakest teams are the Cavaliers, Magic and Bobcats.

This is definitely not a joke.

On May 2, 2009, the G6 battle between the Second Bucks in the Eastern Conference and the Seventh Bulls in the Eastern Conference started.

Both teams that both advocate offense and cannot defend against the opponent's attack magically played a very tight offensive game in this game.

Logically speaking, this game should be an offensive battle with the two teams in the first five games.

However, as soon as the two teams came up in the first quarter, one hit a 31% shooting percentage and the other hit a 36% shooting percentage. In the first quarter, the two teams even scored only 17 and 18 points, but neither of them reached 20.

It can be seen how nervous the two teams were at the beginning of this game.

Of course, after the start of the second quarter, the tension between the two teams was slightly relieved, so the offenses of the second and third quarters returned to normal levels. In these two quarters, the two teams played 55-54, the Bulls won 1 point, and the Bucks won 1 point in the first quarter.

After the two teams played in three quarters, they actually scored 72 points.

Then, Chen Xiao once again saw the players of the two teams being extremely nervous in the fourth quarter.

The Bucks and Chen Xiao are old opponents. When the Bucks swept everything with five smalls, they had the problem of being unstable at critical moments.

However, this time, the Bucks are indeed different from before. The two teams had 2 minutes left in the game, and they played 99 to 99. The two teams played for 10 minutes and scored only 17 points. In the last 2 minutes, the Bulls made 0 of 4 shots and 0 of 2 three-pointers, and did not get a single point.

But the Bucks...

Although Ray Allen made 0 of 1 and Curry also made 0 of 1, Durant made 1 of 1. At the last moment, at the most critical moment of the two teams, Durant hit the middle distance when the two teams made 5 consecutive shots.

Immediately afterwards, the Bulls still missed and fouled Durant's tactics. Durant made both free throws and the Bulls lost the game.

103 to 99!

In this game, Durant made 12 of 24 shots, 4 of 8 three-pointers and 7 of 7 free throws, and scored 35 points in a stable game.

So at the end of the game, the commentator of the game Chris Webber exclaimed: "I have only seen this incredible stability of outside scoring in Jordan and GOD Chen!"

4-2, the Bucks narrowly eliminated the Bulls. When the Bucks successfully advanced, Ray Allen, who had always been cold, roared in excitement at the sky, while Curry and Durant, the two young men, paid tribute to Chen Xiao, roared into the sky, and tore off their clothes.

"This is the East. In the East, it's too difficult to win a series, too difficult..."

This hell-like east is really suffocating.

Jordan beside Chen Xiao picked up the cigar and sighed.

The hell is, the greater the pressure on everyone, and when everyone is under a lot of pressure, it becomes even more hell.

On May 2, after the Bucks successfully advanced, everyone's attention was set on the Raptors and Nets' game on May 3.

With Nash's injury, the Raptors now need heroes, and will Milicic, the most popular young insider recently, become a hero?

This plot of longing for a savior in a desperate situation is definitely the favorite plot of Americans. After being exaggerated by major media across the United States, everyone focused on Milicic for a time.
To be continued...
