The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Chapter 346 The first round of the playoffs

(Working overtime at work today, I came back late, there is only one chapter left.)

The Wizards' opponent in the first round is the eighth-ranked Philadelphia 76ers in the East.

No one would think that the 76ers can cause any trouble to the Wizards in the first round.

The prestige of 73 wins in the regular season is still there, not just any cat or dog can challenge the Wizards.

Not to mention the 76ers, who are ranked eighth in the East, even if they enter the second round and face the winners of the fourth and fifth places, there will not be any surprises.

The only team in the entire Eastern Conference that can pose a slight threat to the Wizards is the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Of the 9 games the Wizards lost in the regular season this season, two games were lost to the Cavaliers. Of course, the Cavaliers also took advantage of George's reimbursement for the season and his inability to play.

At present, the general situation generally believes that the Wizards and the Cavaliers will have a probability of more than 90% to meet in the Eastern Conference Finals. In the Eastern Conference Finals, when the two teams collide, the Wizards may win 68% of the time, and the Cavaliers 32%.

Those who see the Wizards winning are because of the Wizards' terrifying 73 wins in the regular season and Leonard's rise in the second half of the regular season.

Those who are optimistic about the Cavaliers' victory are because the Wizards George was unable to make an appearance, plus some extra points from the Cavaliers' Super Big Four.

...

Soon, the first round of the playoffs began.

The current No. 1 pick in the 76ers is John Wall, the No. 2 pick in 10 years. The point guard who should have been the No. 1 pick was taken away by Jeremy Lin and moved to the Philadelphia 76ers. Although he no longer has the title of champion, Wall's strength is still beyond doubt.

Terrifying physical fitness and the playing style of traditional point guards make it impossible for point guards like Curry and Westbrook to play explosive data, but they are better than stability.

This season, Wall can steadily contribute 19.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game. His efficiency is extremely high. a member.

But Wall's limit is nothing more than that...

The first game between the two teams was held at the home court of the Wizards on April 19.

The whole process of the game was a one-sided situation. The Wizards took the absolute initiative from the beginning of the game and kept it until the end of the game.

After this playoffs, it seems that there is not much difference from the Wizards playing the regular season on weekdays, and winning is equally easy and freehand.

After the game, Wall, the core core of the 76ers, couldn't help but speak bluntly in the press conference.

"To be honest, this Wizards team can already be regarded as a strong team in history. They have the best players in the league, the best head coach, two consecutive championships in hand, and 73 wins this season. With a record of 9 losses, I can't think of any way to beat them..."

It can be seen that Wall is very frustrated. After all, this is the first time he has participated in the playoffs since joining the NBA, but just one game has already made him a little disheartened.

So much so that under extreme frustration, he actually said such words of near surrender in front of the media.

The main core of a team has surrendered, what else do others play?

If it were in normal times, Wall's remarks would definitely cause an uproar in the league, and then arouse many people criticizing his professional attitude.

But this time, not many people blamed him, and even many fans took the initiative to leave messages online to comfort Wall.

"Don't be discouraged, John, it's not your fault. The Wizards is indeed a historical team. Any opponent standing in front of it will be crushed without resistance. The Heat's Big Three were also beaten by them. Are you gone? You are still young, the future belongs to you!"

This is probably a bowl of poisonous chicken soup, and I don't know what Wall will think after reading it.

John Wall, born in 1990, is only two years younger than Curry.

At his current age, Curry is about to win the second regular season MVP trophy in his career, and led the team to the championship and won the FMVP trophy.

And what about Wall now? He hasn't even participated in the All-Star Game, so the future belongs to him? What are you kidding?

...

The game between the Wizards and the 76ers quickly changed from a total score of 1:0 to 4:0. There was no disturbance in the two home games, and the situation was exactly the same at the 76ers' home game.

Not surprisingly, the Wizards swept the 76ers 4-0 in the first round and advanced to the second round smoothly.

In the first round, the Wizards were the first to stand out by eliminating their opponents 4:0, followed by the Cleveland Cavaliers and the No. 1 Trail Blazers in the West.

The opponent of the Cavaliers is the Heat. Facing his old club, James showed no mercy. Although his brotherhood with Wade still exists, his relationship with Pat Riley has also dropped to a freezing point. When he returned to the Cavaliers, Pat Riley ridiculed him in public interviews, declaring that only the weak would choose to flee after losing.

Also 4:0, the Cavaliers swept the Heat and advanced to the second round.

On the other side, facing the Suns without Nash, the Western Trail Blazers also easily won with a score of 4:0.

The arrival of Tyson Chandler did bring something different to the Trail Blazers from the time of Jordan. Their only goal this season is to rush to the championship.

Except for these three teams, there is no 4:0 sweep.

The third-ranked Nets in the East fought fiercely with the sixth-ranked Pacers until the sixth game, and the Nets finally eliminated the Pacers with a score of 4:2.

Without George, the trajectory of the Pacers has also changed, but Larry Bird's vision and leadership ability are still remarkable, although he failed to get the Eastern regular season ranking in the 13-14 season like another time and space. One, but the Pacers still have a certain strength, which also created a lot of trouble for Jeremy Lin.

The fourth-ranked Bulls and the fifth-ranked Knicks played 7 games.

The Bulls did not have Rose, and lost small forward Ruhr Deng, and did not have Jimmy Butler who should have replaced Ruhr Deng.

But even so, when facing the Knicks, this team still showed extremely tenacious tenacity, using defense to forcefully drag the series to the tiebreaker

The final winner of the two teams was the Knicks. Relying on Anthony's explosion in the seventh game, the Knicks had a hard time winning the first round and advancing to the second round.

However, this is not worth the joy of the Knicks fans, because the opponent they are about to face in the second round is the Washington Wizards, who have suffered from them in the playoffs for many years.

The Wizards restrained the Heat in the playoffs, on the one hand because of the grievances between Wang Xiao and Pat Riley, on the other hand because these two teams are the two strongest teams in the Eastern Conference, and there will inevitably be a battle.

But the Knicks are really unlucky.

In the playoffs, the Knicks met the Wizards no less than the Heat, and like the Heat, they never won.

Wang Xiao and his Wizards are almost becoming the Knicks' nightmare in the playoffs!
