The Wizards quickly widened the point difference, which is actually not surprising. The gap between eighth in the Eastern Conference and first in the Eastern Conference is so huge.

Originally, in the east, it was difficult to have a "lower than upper" scenario.

But in the west, it has happened several times.

Others are not just the number of times "Black Eight Miracle" is said.

Starting from the best-of-seven games in the first round, there have been three black eights, two of which occurred in the Western Conference. The only one in the Eastern Conference was caused by an injury to Derrick Rose of the Bulls.

Especially the Wizards team with Jiang Dalin is unlikely to encounter a similar situation...

After the first quarter, the Wizards already led by almost 15 points.

Yes, one section of time is completely wasted.

Jiang Dalin used his unparalleled dominance to treat the Celtics' inside line as if they were lantern monsters in Shilipo.

After the first quarter, Paul Pierce's first reaction was...

I have no helper!

The Celtics only scored a total of 24 points in the first quarter, 10 of which were contributed by him. Let’s not talk about the shooting percentage, but from this scoring ratio, it can already be seen that the Celtics

The rest of the team is waiting for him to take action.

Looking at his 38% shooting rate, we can even see what kind of environment Paul Pierce is fighting alone.

To be honest, there is no "Lonely Warrior" right now, otherwise he might have made a song.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Celtics adopted a very simple approach, that is...

Staying the same despite all changes, when Jiang Dalin completed another dunk, bringing the score difference to 15 points, the Celtics' choice was to give the ball to Paul Pierce.

Pierce averaged 22 points per game this season, which may not seem like much, but he is among the top ten in the league. Everyone's scoring this season is generally low.

At the critical moment of the game, giving the ball to the core of your team should not be an outrageous thing, right?

Pierce also knew he had to carry the team on his shoulders.

Just holding the ball in his hand and looking at Jiang Dalin standing behind Arenas with a smirk on his face, he felt a little like crying.

Others have Jiang Dalin, what about me?

Where is my Jiang Dalin?

Pierce did not dare to go inside and twisted left and right outside the three-point line. Hamilton saw the right time and slapped the ball away. Arenas on the other side also reacted quickly and took the ball from beside him.

Pierce rolled and crawled, but he could only watch the Wizards complete the fast break.

At this moment, BGM sounded in his heart: Snowflakes are fluttering, and the north wind is blowing.

No match at all!

When the time came to the fourth quarter, the Wizards' lead reached more than 30 points.

Just before our eyes, the May 8 tragedy is about to happen.

The Celtics finally couldn't help it and replaced all their main players.

This is also done so as not to affect the fighting spirit for the next game...

Well, don’t be too motivated to fight in the next game. In fact, I just don’t want to be nailed to the pillar of shame...

In the end, the first game of the series ended, 109 to 78. The Wizards defeated by 31 points and won the first game of the series strongly.

Paul Pierce scored 27 points...

The New York media couldn't help but ridicule: "The guy with the highest score on the Celtics didn't score as many points as they lost..."

Listen to this, it's heart-wrenching.

The Boston media is very blue and thin. As a wealthy family at that time, it has fallen to this point.

"Damn it Angie, can you do something useful?"

"It's just that I sit in the position of general manager and do nothing."

"This should be the most useless general manager in the history of the Green Army, right?"

…

Angie:???

In the end, the angry fans put all the blame on Angie.

Anji, who had obviously done nothing, was speechless.

Did he really do nothing?

Shouldn't it be that I can't do anything I want to do?

In order to prevent the Celtics from reviving, the league's "Green Army Gang" came to add more bricks and mortar, David Stern has always been very strict with Boston's transactions.

In recent years, the biggest trade they have made is the introduction of Ricky Davis, the LeBron boss.

so……

Can you blame me?

ah!

Of course, he just complained like this, there was nothing he could do, it was not his fault, it was the "Cardinal's" fault, but in Boston, the Cardinal can never be wrong.

The Nets also easily won the game at the same time, with Richardson scoring 25 points. After the Nets' entire offense relied more on the outside, Richardson became more and more calm in this team. .

To be honest, the original Richardson never enjoyed core treatment, but he still averaged more than 20 points per game for several seasons. This is his third season in the league, and his average of 22.5 points per game is already among the top in the league. Ten scorers.

This is Richardson now!

It's just that he won't be that easy to play against the Pacers. They probably won't be able to meet him in the playoffs this season.

In the West, the second-ranked Timberwolves faced the Grizzlies.

Gasol met Kevin Garnett and was well-trained.

It's true that Pau Gasol was miserable. When he entered the league, it happened to be when the "four forwards" were raging. He really stumbled through the education of these four forwards and survived until 2007, and he is still here. In the finals, he was taught a lesson by Kevin Garnett again, and he just became the representative power forward in the league.

And now, when the power forward who is still growing meets someone who is ranked in the top 5 of the regular season mvp list this season, he is naturally beaten in various ways...

Between the Mavericks and the Kings, the comeback of Chris Webber finally gave the Kings some shadow of their original performance, but this injury still had a huge impact on him. It can be seen that his movements are really much slower than before.

In addition, in this game, we can also see the current disharmony in the Kings. Peja averaged 24 points per game and developed enough self-confidence. He believed that he was the new king and Chris Webber should assist him, but Chris Webber obviously That's not what I meant.

My arrival is the key to the rise of this team. As long as I am here, this Kings team will have the surname Chris!

The result was a game that should have been won, because the two of them fought for the ball and lost. The Mavericks, who had been suppressed throughout the game, finally defeated the Kings 108-100. They defeated the Kings and won the first win of the series. .

On the second day of the playoffs, the remaining four groups of games will continue.

The Pacers won easily, but again, except for the Wizards, he thought everyone in the Eastern Conference was rotten.

The Heat and the Hornets had a big battle.

As the outside world thought, Baron Davis faced off against Wade, the sky was thundering and the earth was igniting, and the fight was so intense that you and I were going back and forth, not wanting to give in to each other.

Some media said: "No matter who wins the game in the end, the Wizards have to be careful. This back line is obviously not comparable to the Celtics, and the overall strength is much higher!"

Billups and Arenas were very angry after hearing these words. They played very aggressively in the second game. The Celtics defenders didn't understand. They said we couldn't do it, but we didn't do anything.

Angry, I just told you to be careful, but you can be so angry. Could this be the competitive spirit of the championship team?

All right!

Anyway, the Celtics no longer feel this competitive spirit.

In the end, under the riot of defenders, Jiang Dalin only scored 22 points, and the game was over. Billups scored 20 points, Arenas also had 18 points, plus Hamilton's 19 points, the Wizards were

With these four people, they defeated the Celtics. Pierce's data was still good. He scored 25 points. But except for him, no other Celtic player scored more than 15 points. He really

of……

Isolated and helpless!

2-0!

Next, we will go to Boston. At this time, the media should analyze what the Celtics should do when they return to their home court. After all, this team exudes "Green Army glory" and perseverance.

This is their most basic team style.

But what the media is discussing is what transactions should be made in the summer to make this team stronger.

It's really not surprising that this kind of thing happened to the New York media.

But when it happened to the Celtics, I always felt that something was strange...

From this scene, we can actually see what kind of despair this Wizards team has brought to the Boston media.

After watching just two games, the Celtics media had the same feeling: It’s impossible to win!

When there is still despair left in the game, there is really no need to continue to discuss it.

The official announced the "Most Improved Player Award" for the season at this time, and the winner of this award is Zach Randolph.

This season, Randolph's scoring average has increased from 6.4 points last season to 20.1 points, and his rebound average has reached 11.2 rebounds per game.

Such rapid growth can be described as a rocket.

However, his rapid growth is inseparable from his own efforts, and it also has a lot to do with the opportunities given to him by the Trail Blazers.

This season he was straightened up and given a lot of playing time.

He receiving this award is a bit like O'Neal Jr. who went from the Trail Blazers to the Pacers.

To say that the Trail Blazers have always been able to win awards, O'Neal, Zach Randolph, Roy, and others are just some of the team's doctors who are a bit too demanding on the players.

At the same time as this award was announced, the Wizards also came to Boston, and the third game of the series arrived as scheduled.

It can be seen that Boston fans are really loyal to the Celtics. Even though they were beaten so badly in the first two games, they still actively cheered for the players on the sidelines in this game.

This is the charm of a wealthy family.

Past success has earned them a loyal following.

And with the company of fans, revival will eventually come!

Of course, the long night in Boston is still going on, and Paul Pierce, who is holding a torch, doesn't know what to do.

In the third game of the series, the Wizards played away from home without giving any face, and the Celtics were stunned at halftime...

3-0!

When Celtics fans started leaving the game early, you knew how one-sided this game was.

A reporter from the Celtics team said: "I have never seen a game that is less suspenseful than this!"

After 3-0, it was 4-0. There was no problem at all. The Wizards eliminated the Celtics smoothly.

They also became the first team to break through from the first round this season.

None of the other three group matches on the same day were so overwhelming. The Nets ran into a little trouble. The score is now 3-1, and they are just one step away from promotion.

It's a pity that their opponent in the next round is not the Wizards, otherwise they would be more motivated.

But beating the Pacers is enough to give them enough motivation.

Because they lost to the Pacers in the playoffs last season, this time is their chance for revenge!

In the West, the Timberwolves also successfully broke through 4-0, but they played overtime and were a little slower than the Wizards.

Kevin Garnett rubbed Pau Gasol's silky curly hair and said with a smile: "The future is yours!"

This scene is called a warm one.

Pau Gasol couldn't help but shed tears. He entered the playoffs for the first time, but lost so miserably. It was hard not to cry!

Most importantly, he was blown away by Kevin Garnett, which gave him the feeling that the Grizzlies lost the game because of him...

As the core of the team, it becomes more normal to cry when you feel like this!

The Mavericks led the Kings 3-1, which was something they didn't even expect.

There is no doubt that the operation in the summer was a failure for them, but the results that are about to enter the second round now make them feel that they are not a failure!

Mark Cuban's eyes are even brighter. He feels that he can do something this summer!

He only traded for one year, and the Mavericks entered the second round of the playoffs. If he had operated for another year, he wouldn't have gone directly to the finals!

Without further ado, you can go to the general manager’s office to read the contract...

The Wizards await their next round opponent.

Wade showed his worth in the confrontation with Baron Davis.

Baron Davis' growth this season has led league experts to believe that he will become one of the top three No. 1 positions in the NBA.

But in this game, Wade performed as well as he could.

"Beard" is also very uncomfortable. I have worked hard all season to make your wedding dress, right?

Unfortunately, no matter how unwilling he is, this is probably the truth.

Even though Mashburn's injury left him without enough helpers, such objective reasons will not be mentioned when evaluating Wade's performance in this series.

Experts gave Wade a 9 points in this round!

The remaining 1 point is to let him continue to improve...

In the end, the Heat entered the semifinals 4-2. In the next series, they will face the Wizards!

The media described this series as "the challenge of the 2003 generation to Jiang Dalin"!

Originally, they all thought that this day would come later. But now, especially after the first round of the series, Wade's performance made them feel that they no longer need to wait, the challenge is now!

Of course, they never expected that the first "03 generation" to challenge Jiang Dalin would be Wade!
