The Fifth Point Guard

The Nets seemed stunned in the first game, and still failed to recover in the second game.

80-95, the Nets once again lost to the Pistons by a big score.

At this moment, all experts are unanimously optimistic that the Pistons will easily defeat the Nets.

However, they overlooked the Nets' king point guard, Jason Kidd.

As the strongest point guard currently in service, Kidd will never allow the Nets to be eliminated in disgrace.

In the next three games, the Nets won three consecutive games.

In the third game, back in New Jersey, Richard Jefferson seemed to be possessed by STO, scoring 30 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, helping the team win its first victory.

In Game 4, Kidd contributed a triple-double of 22 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, leading the Nets to another 94-79 victory over the Pistons, evening the score.

The crucial fifth battle at Tianwang Mountain was fought in darkness, with no light from the sun or the moon.

The game took three overtimes to decide the winner.

The last laugh was the Nets led by Kidd.

Their energy carried them to the end.

127-120, the two teams played a rare high score.

From 0-2 to 3-2, the opinions of experts have changed again.

The Nets, with matching points, have become the favorites to enter the Eastern Conference Finals.

Some media have even begun to speculate on the hot spot that STO will encounter its old club.

But the tenacious Pistons did not give up. They fought two bloody battles under the leadership of Larry Brown.

81-75 defeated the Nets to win the tiebreaker.

A 90-69 victory over their opponents, killing the Nets' dream of reaching the Eastern Conference Finals for three consecutive years.

In this way, the expected scene of STO and his old club meeting in the Eastern Conference finals did not appear.

The second-placed Pistons and the fourth-placed Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference will compete in the Eastern Conference Finals for the only spot to represent the Eastern Conference in the Finals.

In the West, everyone thought that the Timberwolves with the "three-headed monster" could easily defeat the Kings. But who knew that in the first game, the Kings gave the Timberwolves a disastrous blow.

The Kings relied on "White Devil" Mike Bibby's 33 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 steals to defeat the Timberwolves 104-98 on the road.

The Timberwolves, who had regained their composure, immediately counterattacked.

"Alien" Sam Cassell led Bibby's close defense throughout the game. Not only did Bibby, who was of average physical fitness, only score 10 points on 4-of-17 shooting, he also scored 19 points and 5 rebounds. 7 assists.

Garnett continued to perform steadily, with 28 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 6 blocks. Sprewell also contributed 15 points.

In the next four games, both sides won alternately, with a big score of 3-3, entering an exciting tie-break.

Taking advantage of their home court advantage, the Timberwolves narrowly defeated the Kings 83-80 and won the series.

Garnett scored 32 points, 21 rebounds, 4 steals and 5 blocks, dwarfing "King" Webber, who only scored 16 points and 8 rebounds.

Relying on Garnett's crazy performance and the help of Cassell and Sprewell, the Timberwolves eliminated the Kings and entered the Western Conference Finals.

In the other half of the Western Conference, the Spurs and Lakers are also inseparable.

The Lakers have a luxurious F4 combination, and the Spurs also have a newly released GDP combination.

The two sides tied 2-2 after each defending their home court.

In Game 5, the Lakers relied on Fisher's incredible 0.4-second buzzer beater to defeat the Spurs and win the Battle of Tianwangshan 74-73.

In this game, Fisher played 23 minutes, made 3 of 7 shots, scored 8 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. His statistics were mediocre.

But with 0.4 seconds before the end, Fisher turned sideways and miraculously hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer, helping the Lakers unexpectedly win.

This three-pointer was also the only three-pointer Fisher made in the game.

This shot left a deep impression on Gloria Govan who was watching the game.

In Game 6, the Spurs seemed to have yet to come out of the shadow of 0.4 seconds. The Lakers defeated the Spurs 88-76, narrowly eliminating their opponents and joining the Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals.

Before the start of the Eastern Conference finals, Kidd conveyed his views to Shentong through the media.

"The Detroit Pistons in the playoffs are much better than the regular season. They are like two completely different teams. To put it bluntly, they may be far stronger than the Indiana Pacers, so Shentong and his Cavaliers must be You have to be spirited to score 12 points."

Wagner seemed dismissive of Kidd's words.

"I'm afraid he is making excuses for the defeat of himself and the Nets. After all, after leaving STO, they didn't even reach the Eastern Conference Finals. Instead, we reached a higher level than them. I think Jason Kidd's heart He must be extremely unhappy, that’s why he said that.”

Boozer echoed Wagner's words.

"I don't think the Pistons are better than the Pacers. They don't have any star players at all. Although the two Wallaces are good, they may not be better than the Pacers. Instead, I think they have Jermaine O'Neal and Ron Artest. Ted and Reggie Miller's Pacers are better than the Pistons."

Due to the sensitivity and particularity of his identity, STO did not comment on Kidd's remarks in public.

However, he knew that in the last time and space, this civilian Pistons reached the finals with an iron-blooded spirit and defeated the luxurious Los Angeles Lakers 4-1 in a shocking way.

"We can't be careless. No matter what others say, it will not hinder our serious preparation. After all, this is the Eastern Conference finals, and our opponent is one of the two best teams in the Eastern Conference."

Before the game, STO gave the entire team a vaccination.

However, Kidd's words seem to be true.

In the first game, the Cavaliers were lost in the Pistons' iron barrel array.

Every breakthrough made by Shentong will inevitably be hit and impacted by the muscle stick.

It's almost commonplace to be pushed down from above when taking off, or to be knocked directly out of the air.

The noise in Detroit also made the Cavaliers players anxious.

As the scoring leader, Shentong only scored 19 points in the first game, while Hamilton, whom he defended, scored 21 points through his endless running-catching-shooting.

James also received "courteous treatment" from the Pistons and only scored 16 points.

70-81, the Cavaliers lost the first game.

The second game still started in Detroit.

In one scene during the game, Shentong broke through Hamilton and rushed into the penalty area.

Billups reached for the ball in the back, Prince's defense was on the side, and there was a double Wallace in front.

He was knocked down by Rasheed Wallace in the air and fell heavily to the ground.

This is just a snapshot of this series.

In the second game, the Cavaliers scored 80 points, which was better than the previous game, but the Pistons scored 90 points.

0-2, the Cavaliers faced the situation of starting two games behind for the first time in the playoffs.

Although the Cavaliers won the third game, they were defeated by the Pistons in their second home game.

When trailing 1-3, although STO tried its best in the away game and scored 33 points, the team still lost to the Pistons 85-94.

1-4, the Cavaliers failed to go further and were blocked from the finals by the Iron-Blooded Pistons.
