Chapter 360 The first round with a splendid ending

"In the last 77 seconds and 13 points of the tiebreaker, is McGrady the most explosive scoring player in NBA history?"

This is the headline on the cover of the New York Times, and it is also a matter that all American media are seriously and seriously discussing. Miller's 8.9 seconds and 8 points are shocking, but the current Tracy McGrady moment is definitely one of the best scoring performances in NBA history. It's unbelievable to be in the last minute of the tie-break with an almost buzzer-beater.

Maybe this is truly unprecedented in the history of the NBA. Before McGrady's moment appeared, they all thought that Gao Tian's tie-break lore was almost impossible to replicate, but now McGrady is just one year later. Overturned everyone's cognitive thinking with a more stunning scoring performance.

Perhaps, there will really be a new great scoring performance that can surpass McGrady's moment in the future?

Now even the most daring media dare not talk nonsense. The current crazy world has already made them somewhat incomprehensible. What kind of crazy era is this?

The only thing that is certain is that McGrady has truly become the darling of the media and the world. Everyone once again put their love and kindness on this player who has been ignored and lamented by them. The former McGrady was a genius. Many people think that he is even more suitable for playing basketball than Jordan, but it is a pity that both the McGrady in the Magic period and the Rockets period are far from meeting people's expectations. Obviously he can do better, but I don’t know why McGrady is always absent due to various reasons or is far from playing his due level, so this is why many media reporters and coaches rarely mention it in the selection of various honors. and McGrady.

But in this battle, McGrady played a performance that shocked the whole world. From now on, no one will think that McGrady can't help the team at a critical moment. He used this miracle to prove to the world that as long as he is willing, he can still help the team He is the one who can be the team's savior at critical moments.

Although McGrady is 30 years old, this is usually the peak period of an athletic genius, and his peak period is likely to be only two or three years, and in his first ten years, he did not get some real players. The superstar should have the honor, but just because of this game, everyone is very optimistic about McGrady's performance next season, as long as he can maintain this season's state, then next season, he will definitely be One of the most powerful contenders for NBA honors.

Although the Rockets defeated the Suns, no one is optimistic about them. The next playoff journey is very big, and the Rockets may stop here.

Because they will face the Lakers who have eliminated the Nuggets with a total score of 4:1 in the next round. Of course, it goes without saying that Kobe is the strongest single player in the league, and the stability brought by the Lakers' tactical system makes it easier for them to win. They seem to have no weaknesses.

The Rockets are really good, but compared to the No. [-] Lakers in the Western Conference, they look a little young. Now everyone knows that the only thought of the black mamba is the finals, the championship!

The overall strength of the Rockets is still inferior to the Lakers. Although the combination of McGrady and Yao Ming is not inferior to the combination of Kobe and Gasol, there is still a certain gap in the overall strength of the two sides. After a long series, he can almost decide the outcome of the series.

However, it is not so easy for the Lakers to beat the Rockets. If they beat the Suns, one of the strongest in the West, in the tiebreaker, it is not impossible for them to overthrow everyone's ideas in this round of the series and win the third championship in the history of the Rockets. , but this probability is somewhat small.

After the Rockets ended the tiebreaker with the Suns, all the games in the first round of the NBA playoffs also came to an end.

Originally, in people's imagination, the first round should be a little dull, but it also gave everyone a different feeling. Whether it was the tiebreaker between the Eastern Cavaliers and the Magic, James scored 42 points, 10 rebounds, 11 The large triple-double with three assists led the Cavaliers to beat the Magic with a slight advantage of five points and won the tiebreaker.

Or the great miracle of the Western Rockets against the Suns McGrady, which has rendered the first round of this year's NBA playoffs a magnificent and mysterious color. Some things are often beyond everyone's expectations, but this year's game is particularly exciting, perhaps Some people expected this result, but no one could have imagined that the final process would be so magnificent and thrilling.

Therefore, in the case of such a fierce first round, the second round attracted more attention. The Eastern Celtics and the Cavaliers met again. The difference last year was that they met early in the semifinals this year. In last year's Eastern Conference finals, James led the Cavaliers to eliminate the newly formed Celtics Big Three. At that time, the Celtics did have many problems, but now after a year of running-in, the Celtics' strength They are far from being able to compare in years. This year's Cavaliers also have O'Neal to join, so many people are looking forward to whether the Celtics can avenge the Cavaliers and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals this year, or the Cavaliers can be led by James. Eliminated the Celtics again and entered the Eastern Conference finals for two consecutive years.

Another set of duels in the East is also full of suspense. What kind of sparks will this set of duels collide with the old and strong Pistons against the imposing Bobcats?

Gao Tian's performance against the Pistons everywhere, and whether the help defense can lead the Bobcats to the semifinals and join the Celtics or Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals?

The matchup in the Western Conference is also full of surprises and uncertainties. The Lakers' matchup with the Rockets, who have created miracles, and their matchups in various positions will make this round of the series the highest in the league. The most watched round of the series in the world.

The black mamba, who is eager to eat, meets McGrady, who has refreshed McGrady's moment. They are good friends, and they are also the most competitive opponents. Now when they compete on the same stage, who will win?

Another set of matchups in the West is also full of unknowns. The Hornets' head player Chris Paul is from Wake Forest University, while the Spurs' head player Tim Duncan is also from Wake Forest University. In the Western Conference semifinals, he met his junior league point guard leader Chris Paul. This is like a reincarnation. Maybe this is fate. Gao Tian, ​​this is also a player from Wake Forest University.

Last year's Duncan was lore by his junior, it was a pity to collect it, but this year he also faced his junior, what will be the fate of Duncan or the Spurs?
