Chapter 247 Second Round Opponent
The Cavaliers ended the first round of the playoffs early and were the first team to advance to the second round among all the teams in the playoffs.

They have plenty of time to train and observe their opponents.

So far, the Pistons and the Heat are 3-1, and the Pistons are more likely to advance, so the Cavaliers' opponent in the Eastern Conference semifinals is very likely to be the Pistons of the New Bad Boys.

They are all old opponents. Leave it to Mark Osorsky to observe the opponent, and then tell the players how to train.

The Pistons have played against each other three times in the regular season this season, and they are considered old opponents. The Cavaliers swept the Pistons.

But it's too early to tell now, maybe the Heat's PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds will turn the plot around.

Cleveland Cavaliers practice facility.
"Ling, give me the ball"

"A layup in front of me, impossible."

James and Boozer have one offense and one defense, and the training is very active.

Since entering the playoffs, all of the Cavaliers' players have worked hard, and none of the players who can't train normally are left behind, because everyone sees that hope is right in front of them.

Last season, the Cavaliers were at the bottom of the league, and a place in the playoffs is tantamount to a dream. Now they have the strength to hit the Eastern Conference championship, and everyone wants to contribute their own strength.

In the training match organized by the team, James and Boozer arranged a matchup. James attacked the outside line, and Boozer went out to defend from the outside line. When James broke through, Boozer also had to keep up with the defense.

Limbo gave special training to Ira Newbell, with Limbo defending and Newbell attacking.Of course, it is impossible for Limbo to maximize his defensive value. Let alone Newbell, it is not so easy for Kobe and Iverson to score.

Just a little pressure from Lingbo, Newbell missed shots repeatedly, and even lost the ball in a row.

Ling Bo comforted Newbell: "It's okay, don't be discouraged, remember your mistakes just now, try to avoid them, this is progress."

Newbell's mentality is still good. In normal games, no matter whether he is allowed to start or come off the bench, even if he is doing the tiring work of defense, he has no complaints.

Everyone arranges targeted training. Although there is plenty of time, it is also very precious for the Cavaliers. Compared with other teams that are still struggling in the first round, the Cavaliers have already taken the lead in the second round.

During the Cavaliers training period, the second team that advanced first was the top Spurs in the West, and they also swept the Nuggets 4-0.

Although Duncan's performance in the regular season was not as impressive as Limbo, McGrady and others, but in the playoffs, Duncan averaged 25+12+3+3 per game, which is one of the top power forwards in the active league.

Just like last year's finals, when Ling Bo watched the game between the Spurs and the Nets on the spot, Duncan directly ruled both offense and defense, and the inside line was the restricted area, where no entry was allowed.

Poor Carmelo Anthony, who came full of confidence, but came back in a feather, but the fans also saw Anthony's potential and various offensive methods, which were called "offensive kaleidoscope" by fans.

Looking forward to his performance next season.

The third team to advance was the Los Angeles Lakers in the West. After an upset loss to the Grizzlies in the first game, Kobe broke out first, followed by O'Neal's big breakout.

Karl Malone's performance in the playoffs was much better than in the regular season. Although his physical strength was not as good as before, he won because of his rich experience.You know, the Utah Shuangsha back then fought against Jordan and Pippen in the finals.

The Utah Shuangsha of that era was born at a bad time. Without Jordan's Bulls, the Utah Shuangsha would definitely win the championship.

Karl Malone played his residual heat in the Lakers, and other Lakers players are also improving. Fisher performed very well in this series, which is one of the reasons why the Lakers won.

The Indiana Pacers, besides the Cavaliers, were the second team in the Eastern Conference to advance. They beat the Hornets 4-1.

The Timberwolves fought the Kings in 6 games, and the Wolf King was still superior. The injuries in the five-star Kings team were old and old, and they were no match for Garnett's saliva.

The Pistons eliminated the Miami Heat 4-2, and finally won by defense.

In the series between the Pistons and the Heat, neither team averaged more than 100 points per game, or even 90 points per game. This is the playoffs, and the fight was quite tragic.

The Heat's new star Dwyane Wade, once he entered the NBA, gave the league a meniscus. His self-created lost step, which is similar to Ginobili's snake-shaped breakthrough and Lingbo's combined skills, is also very difficult to defend. .

Wade has always kept this move in the playoffs, and it has been useless in the regular season, which caught the Pistons a little off guard.

As a first-year rookie, Wade played so hard in this playoffs. During the game, he was double-teamed and knocked to the ground several times. Wade fought back with strength.

Whether it's James, Wade, Anthony, plus Chris Bosh who played in the regular season, their performance is enough to be worthy of the ranking of the Platinum Generation draft, but the Pistons' second pick, Darko Milicic, is simply It's just a dou who can't afford it, and the performance of James, Wade and others is simply heaven and earth.

Speaking of this, ESPN has done a rearrangement of the 2003 draft.

As a result, the undrafted pick Ling Bo became the first with absolute strength, James ranked second, Anthony ranked third, Wade fourth, Bosh fifth, Kaman sixth, as for Milicic, with his performance this season, all After being ranked tenth, it can be called the second largest parallel importer in NBA draft history.

The knight's training never dared to relax for a moment, and Jiang Chaoxue, as a family member, even sent a bento with love at noon, which made the rest of the knight envious.But the next day, in order not to be embarrassed, Jiang Chaoxue gave everyone a copy, even the coaching staff.

The first round of the battle is finally over. In the West, the Rockets and the Mavericks have played seven games. The Texas Derby has attracted all the attention of the locals.

In the end, the Rockets were superior. Yao Ming performed very well in this series, averaging 20+12+2 per game, and his performance became more and more comprehensive.

Another upset broke out in the east, and it can't be said how big the upset is. The strength of the two teams is indeed between the two teams.

费城76人在艾弗森的带领下和基德的篮网大战7场，艾弗森系列赛场均砍下30+8+6+2，30分8助攻，6篮板2抢断，也是他的无解表现，让76人以下克上，以东部第6的排名战胜去年的东部冠军篮网。

Why did the Nets lose? Since Kenyon Martin of the Nets clashed with the Cavaliers before the All-Star Game, their performance has been poor, and they haven't come over until the playoffs. How much shadow is there in my heart.The lack of a big main force was the key to Iverson's victory over New Jersey in the tie-break overtime.

The first round of the playoffs is all over, and the second round of the game will come soon. The Spurs will face the Rockets in the West, and the Lakers will face the Timberwolves.

The Pacers and the 76ers in the Eastern Conference fought each other, and the Cleveland Cavaliers, who were waiting for work, faced the new bad boy Detroit Pistons.
