NBA: This flower path is a bit strong

The playoffs have been changed to a best-of-seven format since the second round. In addition to the reason of earning more money with one more game, the main purpose is to reduce the chance of accidents and allow stronger teams to advance.

After all, the teams that advance in the second round can touch the ceiling of the semi-finals.

And now, the Toronto Raptors are the team that has advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals first.

And everything has happened in less than two years since the Raptors joined the league!

On May 12, the players of the "Dragon Team", who have been confirmed to advance to the finals and have become a threat to the [God] team in the eyes of most media, are watching the fifth game between the Bulls and the Heat at their leisure.

Their big score has come to 3:1. If nothing unexpected happens, the Heat will be hard to avoid being swept by the gentlemen.

As expected, in the fifth game, the [old rogue] Laofu talked about the youthful madness, scored the highest 27 points and 16 rebounds in the team, and of course... also sent 17 good irons!

However, the flaws did not outweigh the merits, and he still led the Bulls to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals with a score of 4:1.

After the game, facing the tricky questions from reporters, [Old Rogue] directly said:

"I will not treat the Raptors as gentlemanly as I treated the Miami Heat!"

"We are ready to slay the dragon!"

And Hanamichi also chose to cut the pain point:

"I will lead the team to beat the Bulls and win the first Eastern Conference championship or even the championship, just like I beat Michael in the regular season to win the MVP!"

And he added a very considerate knife:

"I believe that defeating the former FMVP to win the championship must be very memorable!"

The war between these two people in the air has spread to the West.

When it comes to the championship, there are many people who are excited!

Karl Malone, the head of the Jazz who defeated the Lakers 4:1 later on May 12, patted his elbow and shouted:

"If you want to win the championship, have you asked my elbow?"

John Stockton also said:

We strongly support the competition for the division championship. After all, no matter how good our Jazz is, we can't win the Eastern Conference championship.

It would be best if the Bulls and Raptors had a game 7!

Everyone is responsible for generating revenue for the league!

It would be even more perfect if both teams were injured to generate revenue for the team doctor!

In this way, our Jazz team will not be able to win the championship without any effort!

The attitude of the black and white duo has made the Mosaic Big Three, who are currently leading the former Eastern Conference champion Supersonics by a big score of 3:1, very unhappy!

What's the matter? I haven't even passed this level, and I want to covet the championship?

I think your Jazz team has a hard time winning the Western Conference championship. Why?

Of course it's because of our Mosaic Big Three!

(Barkley once led the team to challenge the peak [Old Rogue] and the peak Bulls in the finals!)

(Olajuwon and Drexler have won two consecutive championships.)

Each of them is a talent who can lead the team to the finals.

Has your Jazz made it to the finals in recent years?

Raptors? They have been in the league for less than a year!

Excuse me for being blunt: except for the Chicago Bulls, the others who are capable of challenging us in the finals are all younger brothers!

Just wait for me to beat the Supersonics in the next game, and we can start the divisional finals.

Then, the other three teams that have been confirmed to advance to the divisional finals have to wait for 6 days.

It was not until May 17 that the Mosaic team fulfilled their promise and beat the Supersonics "as soon as possible"!

There is no way, the three giants of the Mosaic team made their words so decisively.

Who would have thought that the three of them, who are a hundred years old in total, didn't shut up, but the other two starters and substitutes did!

On May 13, the Mosaic played against the Supersonics:

Hakeem Olajuwon 31 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals;

Clyde Drexler 26 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals;

Charles Barkley 17 points, 20 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals.

The three of them scored most of the team's points, but who would have thought that their teammate...he...rebelled...and defected to the enemy!

Starting player Mario Eli played 38 minutes, 0 of 8, scored 2 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 turnovers with a shooting percentage of 0.0% and a true shooting percentage of 10.7%!

(Chat ecstasy: Good man! I am finally not the one with the lowest shooting percentage in the playoffs. Let's see who dares to say I am the best in the future!)

Starter Matt Maloney played 26 minutes, 7 shots, 1, 14.3% shooting percentage and true shooting percentage, scored 2 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 4 turnovers!

(With this turnover method, it's no wonder that he was replaced by head coach Rudy Tomjanovich.)

Important substitute Sadar Threat played 22 minutes, with 0.0% shooting rate and true hit rate scored 0 points, 0 rebounds, 3 assists, and fouled 5 times, sending the opponent 12 free throw opportunities.

(The ultimate blacksmith, well deserved!)

Substitute Kevin Willis played for 15 minutes, scored 1 point, 0 rebounds, 1 assist, and fouled 4 times with a shooting rate of 0.0% and a true hit rate of 12.9%, and sent the opponent 8 free throw opportunities!

In short, the Mosaic Big Three fully explained what "the team lost but I didn't lose" means in the fifth game against the Supersonics.

But no one expected that this group of teammates, after collectively shutting down once, collectively shut down again!

On May 15th, local time in the United States, Mosaic lost to the Supersonics again.

This time, the 4, 7, and 8 points scored by these substitutes will not be mentioned.

The key is that [Glider] Drexler also publicly shut down!

He contributed 9 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists in the whole game, and his shooting percentage dropped sharply from 56.3% to 21.4%, and his true shooting percentage dropped from 66.6% to 30.2%.

He still took about the same number of shots, but he could score 26 points in the last game, but only 9 points in this game!

[Feizhu] Barkley, who was preparing to join forces to get a championship ring:

"Dude, are you kidding?"

The Mosaic team went from a 3:1 good situation to a 3:3 life-and-death tiebreaker!

The Jazz were ecstatic, the Raptors were watching, and the Bulls were resting crazily to restore their physical strength and energy.

Finally, in the last life-and-death battle, the Mosaic starters were under tremendous pressure and no one pulled the plug again!

The Big Three combined to score 66 points, 35 rebounds, 10 assists and 7 steals, a standard data.

In addition, the other two starters of Mosaic also scored in double digits, and Mario Eli even assisted in double digits.

It was Kemp, the Rain Man of the Seattle Supersonics, who was lost in the footsteps of the Dream and Barkley's fat ass.

He only got 10 rebounds in the whole game.

The Supersonics lost the air dominance. Even if Kemp scored more points in the interior, it was inefficient.

As an interior player, the 43.8% hit rate is obviously not up to standard.

The former Eastern Conference champion Supersonics completely lost the opportunity to fight back and advance to the Western Conference Finals.

What awaits them is a short farewell to the playoffs for more than a year!

(In the 1998-1999 season, the Supersonics failed to enter the playoffs for the first time in 8 years.)
