Super Lord of the Rings

At the end of the regular season, the teams that made it to the playoffs all had two days off, and the Bulls' 13-man playoff roster was confirmed.

Center: Chandler, PJ Brown.

Power forwards: Amundson, David Lee, Novak.

Small forwards: Lewis, Hill.

Shooting guards: Wang Jun, Barnes, Adrian.

Point guard: Calderon, Duhon, CJ Watson.

Both David Lee and Barnes, who have not made an official comeback due to injury, have entered the squad. The defender brought Watson, who was able to break through, and Duhon rested for a while, and he was in good condition.

Veteran Juwan Howard missed the roster. His defense is too poor and his mid-range shooting ability has also declined. There is nothing wrong with Novak. His main role this season is to liven up the atmosphere in the locker room and impart experience during training, like an assistant coach.

Paxson asked Howard if he was interested in joining the Bulls assistant coaching staff after this season. He refused, thinking that he was not old enough to play for a few more years.

As usual, ESPN asked twelve experts to predict the first round of the playoffs.

Celtics VS Eagles.

Everyone agreed that the Celtics would sweep the promotion, and they swept the Eagles in the regular season. They all play team basketball, the Hawks lack superstars who can make the final decision, and Joe Johnson's leadership temperament is slightly inferior.

Bulls VS76ers.

This series is also predicted to be a sweep. The 76ers' offense is too poor and they rely on defense to win. Even if Chandler and Barnes don't play, it is difficult for a miracle to happen.

Pistons VS Wizards.

Arenas is back, and the Wizards have become a trident again, which may cause a little trouble for the Pistons. The state of Arenas is a question, and the Pistons are predicted to advance 4-1 or 4-2.

Magic VS Knight.

This series is the focus of the game. The Magic have super center Howard, the Cavaliers have top small forward James, and there are also helpers on the outside who can shoot. It is predicted that the two sides will fight for seven games. Both have the possibility of advancing, it mainly depends on which side performs better.

The Western Conference is full of suspense, and the records of the eight teams are not much different.

Lakers VS Nuggets,

Experts are unanimously optimistic about the promotion of the Lakers. Swept 4-0 or 4-1, the Nuggets' poor defense doomed them not to go far.

Hornets VS Mavericks. More people are optimistic about the promotion of the seventh Mavericks. The reason is that the Hornets lack playoff experience.

It seems that many people have forgotten how the Mavericks were blacked out by the Warriors last season. Sometimes experience does not mean everything. The Bulls won the championship for the first time because of their youth and invincibility, and the players' confrontation ability is more important. Experts predict that the Mavericks will win 4-2 or 4-3, and Paul will make a comeback next year.

Spurs VS Suns.

The biggest weakness of the Spurs is the small forwards. Bowen and Finley are too old, but the Suns small forwards are also only Diaw, and they don't even have a qualified substitute. Not strong enough to go anywhere. The Suns still have to rely on last season's lineup to fight offense. Subs are worse than ever. The Spurs are expected to advance 4-2 or 4-3.

Finally, the 4th and 5th Rockets VS Jazz.

Only three people are optimistic about the success of Houston's revenge, and the others believe that the Jazz will advance, predicting a score of 4 to 1 or 4 to 2.

McGrady has not played in the second round, Yao Ming is injured and absent, and the center of the Rockets is Dikembe Mutombo. This weakness is too obvious, and Mutombo is a marginal man in other teams.

It was confirmed that the Bulls had a holiday against the 76ers in the first round and did not take their opponents seriously.

Wang Jun continues to practice the Longevity Method at home. Endurance exercises ensure state. He closed the door to see no visitors, and stopped making videos. Must concentrate before the big battle.

He played all 82 games in the regular season. The system prompts him to train at level 67, and he has only been promoted by two levels. This is the first time he has experienced such a slow speed since he started playing basketball.

His barefoot height of 194 cm has been fixed and will not increase, and his weight of 96 kg has not changed much.

Flexibility 54.5, continuous improvement, he has been practicing the longevity method to be useful.

The reaction was 62.9, an increase of 1.6, the most improved, and I played basketball with Garfield.

The speed is 78.5, an increase of 0.8, a slight improvement.

The bounce is 72.3, and the improvement is obvious. He often practices dunks and jumps higher and higher.

The strength is 72.6, which has not increased compared with level 65. He thinks that the strength is enough, and he hasn't practiced it deliberately for a long time.

Stamina is 81.3, an increase of 0.2. The improvement is probably due to underwater training, which is too tortured.

He accumulated enough calories to meet the standard, drew a prize, and got two reaction training.

Host visual connection training system. Start the boxing sparring simulation in the open space, the boxer's moving speed and punching speed are gradually upgraded, and the master trains the host's reaction speed, flexibility, endurance, and footsteps. After a total of ten hours, the host can shut down autonomously.

He had pulled out this kind of props before, but he just tried it out, and he didn't have a head coach. Now he has accumulated nearly 20 hours.

Wang Jun wants to spend more time practicing speed and jumping. Summer is the Beijing Olympics. His original goal was to be able to train to level 70, and he might be able to greatly improve his strength.

The task must not be completed, and the system's evaluation is still "first-class star". He feels that his ability to break double teams is much stronger than before, and he must wait until he reaches level 70 to change his evaluation.

The players relax and wait for the playoffs to start. Most Bulls players are relatively honest, and there is no such thing as going to nightclubs together.

On the 19th, the 76ers and their party arrived in Chicago.

Coach Maurice Cheeks strictly forbids players to go to nightclubs and other places for entertainment, so that they abstain from sex and prepare for the game, ready to fight the Bulls.

After Iverson left, the 76ers rose immediately. Looking at the lineup, it is probably the worst among the top eight teams. The head star Iguodala is only a second-rate star, but they got the seventh by relying on their tenacious defense. s position.

The current 76ers are fearless, never give up, and dare to challenge any team.

More and more people think that Iverson is really bad. After leaving Philadelphia, the 76ers' defensive strength immediately improved significantly. After joining the Nuggets, the Nuggets became one of the worst defensive teams.

Of course, Iverson has his advantages. Fans only need to play an NBA game to feel his invaluable. Players will find that Iverson is too difficult to use in the game, he will be blocked when he breaks in, three-pointers are not allowed, and it is difficult to score due to height restrictions.

It is such a person whose physical condition is considered poor in games, but has won the nba scoring champion four times in the real world, the difficulty can be imagined.

Iverson is such a person, giving an ordinary person who is similar in height to him, and may weigh more than him, a dream of becoming the scoring champion in the NBA, is an excellent YY object.

On this day, the first round took the lead in four games.

The Cavaliers defeated the Magic away and grabbed a key victory.

Howard scored 16 rebounds and 4 blocks, and still lost to the Cavaliers with 20+ points. James had 32 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, Ilgauskas had 22 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists, Bibby had 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

The defense at position 4 has become a fatal flaw for the Magic.

The Spurs defeated the Suns at home, and the two teams scored 117 to 115.

The Rockets lost to the Jazz, and they suffered too much inside, and Alstom couldn't defend Deron well.

The Mavericks lost to the Hornets, and experience didn't work. Paul had a large double-double with 35 points and 10 assists, making his debut amazing. Ben Wallace also played a role, scoring 10 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks.

The center of the Mavericks is Dampier. Daben doesn't need to defend all the time, he can resist people and block shots near the penalty area. The fly in the ointment is that free throws are still bad.

On the 20th, both the Bulls and the 76ers were ready.
