Chapter 835

~5 min read 955 words

The Bulls swept the Cavaliers 4:0, making a very good start for the playoffs.

However.

The subsequent situation also far exceeded everyone's expectations.

On the East side.

The duel between the 76ers and the Nets.

The duel between the "double Four Great Shooting Guards" and the "New Nets Three Musketeers," originally thought that even if it wasn't a Game 7, it would at least be a six-game battle.

The result.

4:0.

The 76ers also forcibly knocked the Nets out with a sweep, dropping the jaws of countless fans.

"So amazing, the 76ers in the playoffs are much stronger than imagined!"

"Sure enough, they say the playoffs are the stage for superstars; the 76ers, with Iverson and McGrady, can explode with stronger combat power in the playoffs!

They are championship favorites!"

"Go 76ers!"

And the duel between the Heat and the Pacers.

Everyone also felt... the "OD combination" of Wade and O'Neal would definitely beat the Pacers very strongly.

A 4:1 gentleman's sweep is the ideal score for many people.

Who knew... the Heat swept the Pacers 4:0, and in three of those games, they won with a lead of more than 10 points.

This is more than just strong; it is simply crushing.

The shark traveling east is still the center with the strongest dominance in the league at present... none other.

His playoff performance is still so domineering.

The key... the second-year "Flash" Wade, his growth is far faster than everyone imagined.

This round.

He averaged 27.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 9.2 assists.

On top of that, there were 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks.

Exaggerated.

This is completely a superstar-level performance, truly amazing!

This is also why the Heat swept the Pacers and advanced to the next round.

Finally... the duel between the Celtics and the Wizards.

This is the Eastern Conference first-round playoff series that everyone thinks has the most suspense and is the most intense.

As a result, the Celtics broke the record and swept the Wizards 4:0 to advance.

The duel between "The Truth" Pierce and "Agent Zero" Arenas, Pierce won completely, which everyone could not have imagined at all.

"Why?!"

"Pierce and Arenas' personal strength are about the same, how could they be swept?!"

"Arenas' personal strength is certainly strong, but... he seems to like fighting alone too much on the playoff stage.

Indeed.

The playoffs are considered a star stage, and the Wizards also need Arenas to stand up and perform more.

But you have to turn the star's ability to influence the game into an eternal 'lone wolf mode.'

Then you can only have good data, but you cannot help the team win.

Arenas is in this state now.

He seems to need time to settle, to jump out of the 'Agent Zero' title and develop to a higher level!!!"

In this way.

All 4 series in the first round of the East advanced by way of a sweep.

Let's talk about the West.

The Spurs swept the Timberwolves; in the sweep of the "Three-Headed Monster," the Timberwolves, whose Cassell and Sprewell were too declined, this is too normal.

This was no surprise.

The fans all seemed very calm, just like the Bulls sweeping the Cavaliers.

The duel between the Suns and the Grizzlies.

Last year, they brought in Nash and Lewis, joined forces with Stoudemire, and the Suns started a run-and-gun whirlwind, catching the whole league off guard for a time.

Playoffs.

Under the control of "Son of the Wind" Nash, the Suns' fast-break whirlwind continued, and the Grizzlies couldn't handle it at all.

4:0.

The Suns also knocked the Grizzlies out with a sweep, which was also within the experts' expectations.

And the duel between the Mavericks and the Jazz.

Originally, everyone would think that the Mavericks would beat the Jazz 4:2, and the two games the Jazz won would be at their own "Devil's Home Court."

But in reality.

The Mavericks also knocked the Jazz out with a sweep.

The Mavericks played well as a whole, and the team core "German Tank" Nowitzki played the best, with the most dominance and aggression.

Although.

It looked a little soft, but it didn't hinder him from scoring high points, getting good data, and helping the team win.

That's enough.

The only flaw is... even though Nowitzki played perfectly in all 4 games, and the Mavericks knocked the Jazz out with a sweep.

However.

Every game was won very hard.

Especially G4, at the Jazz's Devil's Home Court, it took two full overtime periods to win the game.

Winning is winning, but it really wasn't easy.

It directly exposed from the side... that the current Mavericks' absolute dominance is not strong enough.

If they really met a strong team, they might not be able to continue winning games.

Finally, in the West, the duel between the Rockets and the Kings.

The two teams looked about the same in strength, and perhaps the Kings were even a bit stronger.

After all, they broke into the Western Conference Finals last year, and this year's core lineup hasn't changed, so they have no reason to fear the Rockets.

However.

Unexpectedly... the Rockets actually eliminated the Kings 4:0.

This is truly hard to imagine and predict.

Fans don't understand what happened to the Kings over the season?

Is it a decline in individual player ability, or a problem in the locker room, or perhaps some oversight by the management.

Unclear.

In short... the outside world always feels that something must have happened to the Kings to cause the overall team strength to decline so much compared to last season.

Although the Rockets are okay.

But really... facing an opponent like the Kings, it's not enough to advance by a sweep.

Although, however.
