McGrady scored another 29 points in this game. This number is a little worse than his previous game, but it is definitely not a bad performance.

He also had 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal. As the leader of the team, he is already very qualified.

"There is indeed a big gap between the Magic and the Wizards. This cannot be changed whether they are at their home court or return to their home court!"

Kenny Smith said: "It is certain that this series will undoubtedly end at the end of four games."

What he said was not wrong.

Because even though the Magic returned to their home court, the Wizards still defeated the Magic 120-91. At the end of the third quarter, they already led by 20 points.

Magic fans who couldn't stand the torture chose to leave early at the end of the third quarter.

If you accompany the team to the end and then get stuck in traffic on the way back, it will be a double torture for these Magic fans.

"I'm already thinking about the next game!"

After the big score reached 3-0, Jiang Dalin said this famous saying of Tracy McGrady to the media. McGrady said it when the score was 3-1, but it was finally reversed.

But Jiang Dalin didn't believe that they would be reversed even if they were leading 3-0. This was much more difficult than the Pistons at the time.

More importantly, when the Pistons fell behind 1-3 and finally advanced, they were ranked first in the Eastern Conference.

Being No. 1 in the Eastern Conference and being ranked No. 8 in the Eastern Conference is not a glorious thing. To be honest, if it weren't for it, McGrady's words "If it were last year, I would have been thinking about the second round" made a joke.

The media will definitely praise McGrady's performance in this round, because without him, the Pistons would not have been able to play so hard.

All I can say is that there will indeed be a price to pay for pretending.

Michael Jordan was very happy that Jiang Dalin said this to the media.

"Little bitch, you will soon discover that this is the most interesting thing about this alliance!"

Jordan was referring to Jiang Dalin's pretense in front of the media.

Jiang Dalin said: "I won't learn anything good from following an old gangster."

This remark made Michael Jordan yell.

Jiang Dalin's pretentious words once again filled McGrady with fighting spirit. In the fourth game of the series, he exploded from the beginning, but it was still the original script. When the time came to the third quarter, his dominance on the offensive end

Strength dropped suddenly.

The Magic had been relying on a 5-point point difference, but as McGrady lost that concentration on the offensive end, the point difference gradually began to widen.

At 9 minutes and 15 seconds of the fourth quarter, as Michael Jordan hit a mid-range jumper against Tracy McGrady, the score difference between the two sides came to more than 15 points. "River Document" called several timeouts to arrange tactics, but in the end it was not possible.

Effective counterattack.

"Bang!"

One minute before the end, McGrady fought hard and hit a three-pointer. The 15-point difference became 17 points, and there was no play.

Michael Jordan stood next to McGrady and was already saying something to the latter.

Jiang Dalin looked at him and knew what he was talking about.

"You are a great boy, but you still need some time to grow. The future is yours, keep working hard!"

As soon as the final whistle sounded, McGrady also took the initiative to hug Michael Jordan. He had nothing to be frustrated about. He averaged more than 30 points per game in 4 games, the highest score of the two teams. He defended his honor as the "scoring king".

.

Even if they were eliminated 4-0...

At the same time, NBA officials also announced the official "Best Sixth Man" for this season. It was originally supposed to be Bobby Simmons, but because the Wizards' experience was different from the original one, he has not yet become famous.

.

This award belongs to the Bucks' Michael Redd, who averaged 15.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game.

After the Wizards eliminated the Magic 4-0.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pacers and Nets each eliminated their opponents, and both ended the games within five games very cleanly.

The only thing left in the East is the battle between the fourth and fifth teams in the East. The Philadelphia 76ers currently lead 3-2, and they can advance if they win one more game.

In the Western Conference, the Lakers finally defeated the Rockets 4-1.

Yao Ming averaged 15.6 points, 10 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game. His performance can be said to be promising for the future. After all, this is his first time playing in the playoffs. It is already a very rare thing to perform like this.

Shaquille O'Neal also formally hugged Yao Ming after the game.

The one with a smile...

This means that the dispute between Shaquille O'Neal and Yao Ming, which has been going on for a season, has finally come to an end.

Everyone knows that Yao Ming will definitely become more and more powerful next season.

His obviously traditional center style of play is enough to make him an opponent that Shaquille O'Neal needs to take seriously.

Francis said that we will come back. He is still a little unwilling to lose this season. As the boss of the Rockets, he did not play very well in this series, and even hindered Yao Ming. As the boss of the team,

Of course he doesn't want this to happen!

He must be more like a boss next year.

The Spurs and Kings have also fought their way out of the siege and have already begun playing in the second round of the playoffs.

The Lakers still need to wait for the Timberwolves and Mavericks to decide the outcome. The two teams are currently tied at 3-2, with the Timberwolves leading by 1 point, but the final result is unknown.

Kevin Garnett has averaged 24.4 points, 13.4 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.6 blocks in the 5 games so far, while Nowitzki is averaging 29.4 points per game with offensive firepower and can also get 8 rebounds.

With 5 assists.

This series between the two people can be called a "fight between gods", and the one who wins will go to the second round to face the Lakers and Shaquille O'Neal.

During this period, the West was indeed extremely fierce inside, and you had to go through a fierce battle to reach the top.

It’s not just them either…

You know, the second and third players in the Western Conference are Tim Duncan and Chris Webber, known as the "Four Forwards."

In other words, the team in the Western Conference that breaks out of the siege will at least have to experience a super-giant insider as an opponent.

Looking at the Eastern side, the competition among the outside lines is relatively greater.

If the Wizards wait for Allen Iverson, then Michael Jordan will have to meet one of the "four major shooting guards". For Jiang Dalin, there will be no opponent worth mentioning.

The 76ers' inside man is none other than "Fan Bingbing" of the Nets last season. He is not afraid at all...

Maybe he would have to be a little worried after reaching the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Pistons ultimately failed to hold on to Game 6 of the series, and Allen Iverson led the 76ers into the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Jiang Dalin and the Wizards waited for a long time, and finally their opponents arrived.

On the day the series started, the league officially announced the season's best general manager award and head coach award.

Earl, the general manager of the Wizards who created the "last madness of the 1990s", successfully won this year's best general manager award.

As for the best head coach award, it belongs to Popovich.

The outside world believes that the Spurs' lineup this year is a mess, and their victory mainly depends on Popovich's good command, coupled with Tim Duncan's excellent execution.

In fact, if Jiang Dalin can tell, it has nothing to do with Popovich. It's all Tim Duncan who is so good this season!

The 76ers went through a major shakeup before the start of the season. They made several major trades, and about 10 players came in and out of the team.

From the perspective of the transaction as a whole, the team made a good overhaul without breaking any bones.

It's just that the signature center Mutombo was exchanged for two young and potential players from the Nets, causing the 76ers to lose their previous huge advantage in dominating the interior in the Eastern Conference.

Also because the defensive system they relied on for survival was gone, before the All-Star Game, the 76ers had a difficult record of 20 wins and 29 losses. After that, the team began to rebound and managed a regular season record of 48 wins and 34 losses.

Entered the top four in the Eastern Conference.

Unlike the team that suffered setbacks, the "answer" Allen Iverson personally experienced a great season: averaging 27.6 points and 5.5 assists per game, and becoming the league's "steals leader" with 2.7 steals per game.

In his seven-year career, this season is the first time that Iverson has played all 82 regular season games.

In the playoffs, Allen Iverson's performance was even more crazy. In the first round of the game that eliminated the Pistons, he averaged 34.8 points, 5.7 assists, and 4.3 rebounds per game. In terms of firepower, he was even better than McGrady this season.

Above the "scoring king".

The core of the team is in such good shape, and Larry Brown's team has always been known for its strong defense, which makes Scott dare not underestimate the opponent like he faced the Magic in the first round.

The 76ers had just entered the Finals in 2001. They had that kind of background, and the result of contempt would be to capsize in the gutter.

"Let Allen Iverson take more shots from the outside and don't let him have a chance to play in isolation!"

Although the team has undergone a major overhaul, the team's backbone and tactics have not changed.

Allen Iverson is still the unshakable core of this team. They transferred Van Horn and Mike Lodge, who have good offensive power. Although the purpose is to solve the shortcomings of the team's single attack point, it is obvious that the team's style and

The tactics did not change with the arrival of the two. Their impact on the 76ers' offensive tactics was much smaller than expected.

In terms of the team's offense, the team still relies heavily on Allen Iverson, especially Larry Brown. He understands that Allen Iverson's contribution to the 76ers' offense is not just the 31 points per game. As long as he is on the court,

The 76ers' offense only has tactics that can be changed and adjusted, otherwise everything is out of the question. Because of this, even if Allen Iverson is injured, he will still send him on the court to play for 43 minutes every game.

Therefore, how to make Allen Iverson's offensive efficiency even lower is the key to the Wizards easily defeating this team.

"In addition, everyone must be very energetic. I can guarantee that their momentum will be very fierce, but we must not be timid. We must use our momentum!"

Larry Brown is a veteran coach who emphasizes the overall situation. Under his guidance, the 76ers have become a physical team. This cannot be changed by changing many players!

In this team, no matter how tall or short the players are, they must play fiercely, otherwise they will never be able to stay.

Therefore, the way the 76ers win this season is very different - just check the 76ers' record when Allen Iverson is absent and the 76ers' record when he scores high points. The most common strategy for the 76ers is to use it first.

With their excellent defense and tenacious awareness, they first held the score tightly, and then waited for Allen Iverson to explode. As long as he can have smooth hands at a certain time in a game, he can lead the team to a climax.

The score opened up, and then the team relied on defense to drag the score advantage to the end.

Scott's repeated warnings made all the Wizards players take it seriously on the day of the game. But when they played against the 76ers, they discovered how good the 76ers were after entering the playoffs.

desperately.

The game had just begun, and Snow on the opposite side ignored Billups and pressed from the backcourt to the frontcourt. But even so, Larry Brown seemed a little dissatisfied, and kept yelling: "No matter how fierce it is,

A little, a little more fierce, haven't you eaten? Damn it!"

Billups used his ball protector to knock off interfering hands and gave the ball to Michael Jordan.

Facing the 76ers' defense, Michael Jordan was obviously much more calm than Billups when holding the ball.

As someone who came from the "Jordan Rules" era, he has seen more ferocious defenses. He used his shoulders to push against the defender, reached the mid-range he was familiar with, turned over and made a jump shot to score the ball.

The Wizards' first game of the second round was kicked off by Michael Jordan's score.

Allen Iverson took the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt. Billups looked at him very carefully and very experiencedly used a tentative step to interfere with the defense when Allen Iverson was dribbling. Keep observing.

Is your position still to the right?

But everyone in the league knows that Allen Iverson will go to the right, but he can break through from the right.

Billups felt a gust of wind passing by him, and then Allen Iverson broke through from beside him.

There is a lever under the basket.

"Answer" returned the favor with a super difficult lever.

2-2 level.

This time, Jiang Dalin went up to the high post to give Billups a pick-and-roll as soon as Billups passed half-time. Jiang Dalin, who successfully found the space, asked for the ball. Billups saw the opportunity and hit the ball in front of him.

.

Derek Coleman slid forward like a machine and caught up with Jiang Dalin at the moment when he rushed to the basket. However, seeing the opponent's tiger-like appearance, he subconsciously took a step back.

"Boom!"

The sound of the basket exploding sounded at this moment. If he had retreated even less than a second late, he would have received a dunk at this moment.

Hearing the sound of the rim exploding, even though Coleman returned to defense amidst Brown's scolding, he didn't feel that he was in a bad mood, nor did he have the anxiety he had in the past about Brown replacing him.

He knows that escaping is shameful, but...it really works!
