This result was unacceptable to many people who were optimistic about the Rockets.

The Pacers defeated the Hawks 4:2 to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals, and their opponent was the Raptors, who defeated the Bulls 4:3. Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan played better and better, and eventually led the team to defeat the Bulls and advance to second place. wheel.

Like the 76ers, the Raptors are also a dark horse this year. The two sets of matchups in the Eastern Conference semifinals have been released. The veteran team Pacers will face the dark horse Raptors, and the veteran team Heat will face the dark horse 76ers. Which one will win, the dark horse or the veteran team? The team continues to go strong, but everything is still unknown.

In the Western Conference, the Spurs defeated the Mavericks in 7 difficult games, but won the last game by 25 points, which was regarded as an absolute advantage and ended the first round series. Their opponent in the second round was the Blazers who sent the Rockets home in 6 games. By.

The Thunder and Grizzlies also played until the seventh game. For Durant, Tony Allen's defense was indeed a challenge. Fortunately, Westbrook and Reggie Jackson performed well and led the team to pass the Grizzlies. , entering the second round.

The Warriors and Clippers also fought until the tiebreaker. In the tiebreaker, 4 Clippers players scored 20+ points. Although Stephen Curry scored 33 points and 7 Warriors players scored in double figures, they still lost to a team with rebounding guarantee at the last moment. Clippers.

After the Clippers won the tiebreaker, they naturally faced the Thunder.

After the first round of the playoffs, the league also announced the winner of the Most Improved Player Award. Jeff Hornacek's general Goran Dragic averaged 20.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.4 steals per game this season. performance, winning the Most Improved Player award.

Jeff Hornacek tweeted congratulations, and Anxi followed suit.

However, after Anxi tweeted, the people who responded on Twitter were all asking Anxi for his views on the next round of competition.

"An, the second round is about to start. Are you nervous facing the Heat?"

"An, are you confident in leading the team to defeat the Heat? If so, please give me a reply!"

"Heat, heat, heat! Heat will win, Anxi, you are destined to be a loser!"

…

Anxi looked at these replies, including those from Heat fans, and felt speechless.

But if you think about it carefully, the Heat are about to arrive in Philadelphia, and the second round of the playoffs is just around the corner. It is understandable that people will turn their attention to the game.

But before the game, Anxi didn't want to respond or say anything provocative.

But Anxi doesn't say it, doesn't mean LeBron James won't say it.

"Yes, that's right, we met the 76ers in the Eastern Conference semifinals. This is the thing I am most looking forward to. I think our opponent should be the 76ers, so that we can defeat them and complete the regular season. The revenge of their three kills. I say this without disrespecting the Bobcats, but the 76ers are a stronger opponent because they defeated us three times in the regular season. For us, defeating the 76ers in the playoffs will be a very good thing. challenges.”

LeBron James himself is not willing to accept interviews from the media.

However, the media repeatedly asked, and Rich Paul gave certain suggestions. He believed that harsh words in interviews before the game could attract a certain number of fans, which was considered a sign of determination. Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, LeBron James chose to stand up. Say something.

When facing the reporter's second question about his determination to defeat the 76ers, LeBron James continued: "We will definitely defeat the 76ers. If we predict the score, I think it should be 4:1, and the 76ers will win. A win and then deny us a sweep.”

Reject our sweep? The reporter who interviewed LeBron James quickly became excited. This statement was much more exciting than "We will sweep the 76ers." It would be pointless to say too much about sweeping. And LeBron James said that the 76ers have a chance to reject our sweep. This seems even more provocative.

Reporters immediately processed LeBron James's words in their minds: "LeBron James said: The 76ers can only win one victory at most, and they can only refuse our sweep."

It does seem to be full of hatred.

Therefore, after further processing by reporters, LeBron James's words immediately caused an uproar in North America.

"The 76ers can only refuse the Heat's sweep? Is LeBron James going to become a big talker too?"

"The 76ers beat the Heat three times in the regular season, but they can only refuse the Heat's sweep in the playoffs? What's the joke?"

Sure enough, LeBron James's words caused dissatisfaction among a large number of 76ers fans, and many neutral fans thought that LeBron James was talking big words. After all, with the strength shown by the 76ers this season, it is not like they only won one game against the Heat. level of strength.

Reporters also found LeBron James again with various refutations. At this time, LeBron James discovered that he seemed to have done something wrong again.

Rich Paul asked him to speak harsh words in the media, but he involuntarily increased the intensity of his harsh words. He did seem a bit arrogant, but this is also the reason why LeBron James is in a good mood recently. The Heat easily defeated the Nets in the first round. , the Eastern Conference seems to have no opponents. The only thing that needs attention is the 76ers in the next round.

As for the Western Conference, there was even more good news. Their biggest rival, the Spurs, was dragged to Game 7 by the Mavericks and was almost defeated. The Thunder were similarly dragged to Game 7 by the Grizzlies before the winner was decided.

In contrast, the Heat's promotion journey has been much smoother. This season may really be the Heat's best chance to win.

Because the situation in front of the Heat this season is indeed very good, and under such a good situation, LeBron James's self-confidence has expanded, and under the advice of Rich Paul, he said some big words.

Facing a new round of questioning from reporters, LeBron James, who could no longer take it back, simply said: "Yes, I said so. I think if the 76ers really have to compare with us, we must It’s a big hit.”

"Regular season? You also said that it was the regular season, not the playoffs. The Nets killed us four times in the regular season, but what was the result? We also swept the Nets in the playoffs."

After LeBron James made a big statement, before the Philadelphia media even opened their mouths, the Cleveland media acted as the vanguard and got in first.

"LeBron James" reporter Brian Windhorst said: "LeBron James has started talking big words again. I know him very well. He has been talking big words since the Cleveland Cavaliers period. I will definitely think about it." I'm tired of hearing the Cavaliers bring a championship, I'll never leave Cleveland, etc. I can't post that in my column, but I can post it on my Twitter."

"I just want to expose the hypocrite of LeBron James. As for who will win the series between the 76ers and the Heat, I won't make any predictions, but I think the 76ers have no chance at all. Anxi's performance this season is no better than LeBron's. That traitor James is bad!"

As Brian Windhorst said, which he couldn't post in his column but posted to Twitter, Brian Windhorst's words are sharp and already describe LeBron James as A villain immediately triggered further speculation about this matter.

The Miami Sun-Sentinel is the most influential newspaper in the Miami area, and Ian Windman is the newspaper's top reporter and writer. Faced with Brian Windhorst's firing, he did not hesitate joined the battle group.

"The Cleveland Cavaliers didn't make the playoffs. I don't know why they're going after LeBron James at this time. I think when these two teams are about to start their playoff showdown, other teams don't. should be involved, and they are not qualified to enter this battle.”

In his words, Windman had already excluded Windhorst.

But Philadelphia finally has a foreign player, and naturally it will not let this foreign player go. Tom Moore of "Bucks Express Times" joined in and rekindled the topic of Windhorst: "Brian Windhorst" Te is right. LeBron James often says big things. In addition to his promises in Cleveland, he also said in Miami that he would lead the Heat to seven or eight championships. But three years later, Miami Fans don’t know what the O’Brien Trophy looks like yet.”

"LeBron James also said he never dives, but the league issued a diving ticket the next day."

"Now LeBron James is talking big words again. The king of big talk in the NBA should be LeBron James. He should change his habit of talking big words."

Thanks to the joint efforts of the media in Philadelphia and Cleveland, before the start of the Eastern Conference semifinals, LeBron James can no longer take off his reputation as a big talker. (To be continued.)
