The Bulls defeated the Hornets 4-1, which was definitely a result that most people did not expect.

After all, the regular season records of the Bulls and Hornets are very close, and the gap is not big.

What's more, the Hornets also have Baron Davis, who has unlimited potential, and Mashburn, one of seven players who averaged 20.5.5 per game this season and is known as one of the seven men on the basketball court.

P.J. Brown on the inside is also a tough defensive player.

On paper, there is someone at every position who can match up with the Bulls.

Everyone predicts that this should be a very fierce series.

Not to mention 4 to 3, at least it has to be 4 to 2.

As a result, the actual situation after the game started was as follows:

Yao Ming used his superb skills to torment Brown, and Francis used his more stable performance to kill Davis, who was always ghosting.

And Mashburn was completely destroyed by the beast Artest.

Under Artest's attack, Mashburn, who was 20-5-5 in the regular season, only had a 14-5-3 performance in this series.

No one thought that the three young men of the Bulls were so motivated.

No one thought that Danzi's eyes would be so wide-eyed.

The No. 1 pick, Yao Ming, is only in his second year and has already reached the Eastern Conference semifinals with the team.

And Kwame Brown, the undoubted number one pick in Danzi's mouth, is still worried about stable playing time.

Fortunately, the Bulls didn't listen to Danzi's advice back then, otherwise they might still be on the road to the lottery now.

The Bulls even suspected that Danzi was deliberately setting up a trap by praising Kwame so much at that time.

If the Bulls really misunderstood Danzi, would it be difficult to admit that his vision is not good?

Yao Ming and Li Ang are about to meet in the playoffs, which also makes Chinese fans very excited.

After all, this is the first time in NBA history that the China Derby is staged in the playoffs!

This competition was so well publicized that countless students called their class teacher: "Wai, sir, I might feel sick to my stomach the day after tomorrow. I need to take a day off!"

The teacher smiled slightly: "Before you felt sick to your stomach, I already felt sick to my stomach. I will also ask for leave the day after tomorrow. You have to ask yourself to find the acting class teacher!"

Otherwise, what if you say you are a teacher? This is called a superior move in chess.

Yao Ming VS Li Ang, still in the playoffs.

The temptation of this game to Chinese fans is like the temptation of an active young girl to a single author.

Of course, this game is also quite popular in the ugly country.

The Pistons' defense was so strong in the last round. Many people thought it was because the Magic, except for Tracy McGrady, were all rotten.

Defending a team like this is nothing to brag about.

Only by winning against the Bulls can it be shown that the Pistons are indeed very strong.

They are the ones who say that the Black Eight Miracle is a miracle, and they are the ones who say that the Magic are actually a weak team.

Anyway, let them finish everything.

However, the Bulls are indeed a more difficult team to deal with than the Magic. The regular season record between the two sides was 2-2.

Carlisle has also been losing hair like crazy these days, thinking about strategies to deal with the bull.

At the beginning, Carlisle originally planned to directly use One Star Four Shots to deal with the Bulls.

After all, the Pistons relied on this trick to defeat the Bulls once during the regular season.

But when I thought about it carefully later, this was really too risky.

After all, Okur is not Ray Allen or Miller. You can't really count on him to kill the game from beyond the three-point line.

Occasionally a regular season game is fine, but in the playoffs, Okur cannot be so accurate every game.

Once his three-pointer is inaccurate and the space cannot be opened, the Pistons will lose both offense and defense.

Putting the series on the three-point shooting of a backup center?

Although Carlisle looks funny, he is actually not funny!

After the one-star and four-shot play was rejected, there was only one option left - to defend head-on with the Bulls.

Unable to pull Yao Ming away, the Pistons' offense is destined to not be easy.

Especially Li Ang, facing the encirclement and suppression by Artest and Yao Ming, Li Ang never played comfortably.

But similarly, the Bulls can't even think about playing a smooth offense against the Pistons' defense.

Although Yao Ming is tall, he will not play too easily if Li Ang helps double-team.

Although Francis is fast, Billups is not a player to be trifled with.

As for Artest...this guy is a two-way undercover on the offensive end.

When he lets go, he may kill his opponent or himself.

In this round of the series, we are not competing with who can score more points, we are competing with who can make the opponent score less!

If Stern wanted to know what Carlisle was thinking, he would probably have to flip the table on the spot.

How could you have such dangerous ideas?

Isn’t it good to attack a dozen times!?

Knowing that the team was going to defend hard against the Bulls, Ben nodded thoughtfully.

When we came to the training hall the next day, everyone was speechless and found that my afro seemed to be more explosive than before.

"Is...doing your hair again?" Li Ang looked at Ben's fluffy afro, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Stop blowing up. If you keep blowing up, you will become a big-headed son!

You don’t really think that long hair counts as height, do you?

Facing Li Ang's surprised expression, Ben was very proud: "I feel like I'm almost 2.15 meters tall!"

If things continue like this, Da Ben will become the head of the Mi Li family branch of the Shamat family.

On the other side, the Bulls' top three are also making final preparations.

Artest hit the iron like crazy, practiced wrestling, and studied Tyson's shaky steps.

These things can be used on the basketball court!

The last time Artest and Li Ang played in this kind of knockout match was when they were in college.

In March Madness, the outcome was decided. He tried his best, but was still defeated by Li Ang and Francis.

Thinking of this, Artest couldn't help but glance at Francis.

Now, Francis is my good brother.

And Li Ang’s compatriot Yao Ming is already my good big brother.

As the saying goes, women are like clothes and brothers are like brothers.

Li Ang's brothers and feet are now with me, and I will never lose to him again!

The night before the game started, after Li Ang and Carolina made a phone call, they planned to go to bed early to prepare for tomorrow's defensive battle.

But as soon as I lay down, I received a text message.

Li Ang couldn't wait to pick up the phone, thinking that Carolina had sent him something good.

It turned out that the person who sent the text message was Kobe.

Li Ang curled his lips, blaming Hard Te for being too hot, allowing the Lakers to beat the Huskies 4-1.

Otherwise, would Kobe have time to harass me now?

But when Li Ang opened the text message, he found that the text message Kobe sent him this time was a little different.

"Lee, you must make it to the finals. We will also play the Spurs next. Don't worry, I won't let other teams in the Western Conference interrupt our showdown. The same goes for you, come on."

Li Ang looked at the text message and was stunned for a while.

Yes, in the original 2003 playoffs, the champion was the Spurs.

In other words, this series for Kobe Bryant...will not be easy!

"Come on, too."

Li Ang replied to the text message, then put down his phone and fell asleep soon after.

In his dream, he dreamed that he and Kobe were standing back to back, facing different enemies in front of them.

At this time, Kobe turned around and said: "You handle the Eastern Conference, and I'll handle the Western Conference."

“It’s a deal!”

The Palace Stadium at Auburn Hills was overcrowded the next day, and many Chinese fans came to the scene.

The derby series between Yao Ming and Li Ang in the playoffs can be regarded as unleashing the potential of the Chinese market.
