The Pistons are the only team in the East to end the first round of four games.

In the West, three front-position teams completed a 4-0 sweep against the back-position team.

Even if there are kingly troops like Pistons in the east, the era of strong west and weak east has arrived.

There are three top teams in the West: the Timberwolves, Lakers and Spurs.

Without exception, they all swept the first round opponents.

After entering the semi-finals, the battle situation in the West is even more eye-catching, and the Lakers and the Spurs will have a showdown that concerns the tickets to the division finals.

As for the East, the Pistons' opponents have to choose between the Knicks and the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers and the Knicks are both old rivals to the Pistons.

The Cavaliers are the poor version of the run-and-bomb Pistons, while the Knicks, led by Penns, have fought with the Pistons in the playoffs four times in six years.

The blood of the Eastern powerful led by the Knicks flows in the glory of the Pistons.

In the first four games, the Knicks tied 2-2 with the Cavaliers.

The first round of the fourth and fifth places is always tragic.

The Knicks and the Cavaliers are also old enemies. Not to mention the past history, after the rise of the New Century Cavaliers, they first bid farewell to the Chosen Son and made it to the playoffs for years by running and shooting.

This year, Nash was welcomed, and directly reached fourth in the Eastern Conference, and once again faced off with the Knicks in the first round of the playoffs.

This is a suspenseful round. For the past six years, the Knicks have been a team that focuses on defense.

The team led by Van Gundy always creates a torrent of steel with defense and relies on the stars to attack with all their strength. However, due to the loss of the playoffs every year, Van Gundy was fired by the Knicks two years ago.

The Knicks did not lose their hard defense because of this. The foundation laid by Fang's godfather has remained so far, making them a team that is frightening on the defensive end. In this era where joint defense is allowed and ball-holders can also be used, the Knicks are the nightmare for most running and bombing teams.

At that time in his previous life, he was abandoned by the Mavericks. Everyone thought he was about to die. As a white defender who was over thirty years old and had no athletic ability, he had a shooting technique and a little organizational ability, his career was basically final.

In this life, Nash joined another running team in the dormitory. In the passionate and unrestrained Cleveland, he found another way to play.

Thanks to Nash's integration, the Cavaliers became a real Eastern Conference powerhouse, playing seven games with their stalemate Knicks.

This is a heart-warming series.

"This may be the best series of the year. One, the only thing that can deny this view is probably that this round of series is just the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs."

In the tiebreak battle, Ricky Davis fought a severe sprain in his right foot. Nash was hit by Brand in the nose for a week while catching an offensive rebound.

The Son of Wind Splashed Blood on the Stadium and was led by the team doctor from Curry. Taking this opportunity, the Knicks launched a large attack, and in less than a quarter, they widened the gap to double digits.

“It would be a shame if Cleveland ended the season in this way.”

Davis fell down, Nash's nose was broken, and the Knicks had almost accepted the game, almost.

Ben Wallace's defense stabilized the situation.

The Cavaliers lacked stars on the court, and the only one who matched the stars was Ben Wallace, who represented the Cavaliers as the All-Star in the Eastern Conference for five consecutive years.

Big Ben's defense supported the Cavaliers' sky.

In the third quarter, Wallace sat in the formation and sent out four big hats within five minutes, driving the Cavaliers' counterattack attack. The Knicks' double-digit lead was instantly pulled within five points.

The ups and downs of the game were so sudden that even if there were no star players, the Cavaliers still did not give up.

"Dad, who do you think will win?"

On the night of the competition, Mo Mengchen and his family were not idle either.

Mo Mengchen invited Hill, Ginobili, Anthony, Eddie Curry and others to come.

Unfortunately, these people only have their mouths and no brains. Moreover, they can only eat and not speak with their mouths. They will not analyze the process of the game, nor will they speculate on the results of the game. They even don’t care about anyone’s opponent in the semi-finals.

Curry actually said, "Dad, what's so good about this game? These two teams are just like this. I can't stand it. A group of old men and a group of floor streams with no athletic ability. I told me to play for a long time, but I still couldn't tell the winner. It's so ugly. Let's look at something else."

His words made Mo Mengchen think that he had no idea that their semi-final opponent would be decided between the Knicks and the Cavaliers.

He doesn't care, but others care a lot, such as his son, Socrates, who is particularly interested in basketball.

What does it feel like to watch a five-year-old child be particularly interested in basketball?

Hill said strangely: "Hey, those naughty guys in my family only know how to buy dolls, so how can they care about any competition?"

Sogra had no idea about his uncle's compliment, he just wanted to get an answer.

Momonchen didn't know why Sogra wanted to know the answer. He just said his thoughts: "Because Ricky and Steve were both injured, I think the Knicks would laugh to the end."

"What if they were injured?"

Socra continued to ask.

He doesn't look like a five-year-old child, and ordinary children don't think of such complicated things.

Hill looked at the teacher with concern. He wanted to know why Socra was so concerned about this matter, and even more so how Momonchen answered it in a way that Socra could understand.

"The Knicks will still win." Mo Mengchen first gave the conclusion and then analyzed it. "No matter who pays with injuries, he has already rested for the whole half of the game and is playing again. His condition is unpredictable. Moreover, taking the game with injuries will greatly reduce their performance. Not everyone can play with one leg like Isaiya Thomas."

Hill didn't expect Mo Mengchen to say this. He thought this old guy would have a smarter statement, but he ended up being so direct?

Can a 5-year-old child understand this?

Socra asked: "What if they were in good shape?"

"I will still choose the Knicks," Mo Mengchen said.

"Why?"

Mo Mengchen stared at the TV, and Penny was dribbling at the top of the arc. Suddenly, he called a pick-and-roll, forced himself to rush into the penalty area and dunked.

“Because they are stronger teams.”

In the fourth quarter, Nash really made a comeback. He was wearing a mask and looked very ferocious.

Socra is a prophet - Nash, who was injured, really played in good competitive form, scoring continuously from the outside, narrowing the gap to three points at one point.

This is also the last thing he can do.

Nash's brave performance allowed the Cavaliers to see the dawn of reversal. It was also because of Nash's existence that Hardaway chose to fight one in the last two minutes.

Nash's defense is recognized as bad as the world's most defensive. Even if he is not injured, it is easy for Hardaway to score from him, not to mention that he is now injured.

Because Nash regained hope, he eventually lost hope because of Nash.

The Knights lost in the seventh tie and ended their journey.

Steve Nash, the MVP in his previous life, is just a tragic hero who leads the team but doesn't have the first round in this life.

Penny Hardaway, 35, scored 41 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists in the game. He once again proved that he is the only No. 1 position in the world who is qualified to be called the Double Talent with Dor.mo.

The exhausted Hardaway said only one sentence in an interview after the game: "Detroit, here we are."

After watching the game, Mo Mengchen also sent all his teammates to the parking lot.

When he got home, Socra asked another question: "Dad, can you keep your condition as good as a penny when you are 35 years old?"

"God knows?"

May 7, 2006

In the first semi-final in the Eastern Conference, the first battle between the Pistons and the Knicks officially began.

The Knicks, who had just experienced a bloody battle, had only three days of rest before heading to Detroit to challenge the King Pistons.

Tonight, they showed determination beyond their imagination.

The Knicks made the biggest change to win All-Star center Brand, the starting lineup, Trevo Ariza, who was in the fourth position for the third position, mainly playing a lineup of one-to-four small players, ensuring a basket protector in the penalty area, and the other four people can switch defenses without limit.

The result of this is:

——Change defenses and make up for lighter positions, giving Momon Dust extremely high pressure.

——Cambi was liberated and resolutely filled the restricted area and participated in local expansion of defense.

Coincidentally, tonight, Hardaway's defense made Mo Mengchen lose all the touch of the outside line. After choosing to break through, Mo Mengchen encountered a large-scale delay and pinch in the pick-and-roll, and could not easily start, and was locked in the line of the sudden division to a certain extent. And, after Camby figured out which one was more important, he finally started to play like a blocking king.

Ren Curry got the opportunity to abuse the basket at will, and he also had to keep an eye on Mo Mengchen's attack. The 8 blocks were flying all over the audience, and 3 of them were given to Mo Mengchen.

Mo Mengchen was in no state, Curry had no feel, and Anthony didn't stand up.

The Pistons played an ugly game at home, and the Knicks unexpectedly pulled their teeth and relied on defense to win the first game.

"Dor.mo is not without bad touch, but in the past, we had Grant Hill who could control the situation, and tonight, Eddie Curry and Cameron Anthony became the exiters."

Ranbir's criticism was so intense.

"They didn't take over the game as we thought they would. They chose to stand by and watch when Dor.mo was facing a strong defense against his opponent."

"Is this the future of the Pistons?"

Mo Mengchen was interviewed and listened to questions from the media. Most of them were accusing Anthony and Curry.

Their remarks are getting more and more intense.

Mo Mengchen interrupted them: "The person who played 5-for-22 shots is me, not them."
Chapter completed!
