The Eagles game is about to start, and the first two games are finally over.

In today's first game, the Nets defeated the Celtics 81 to 65. The score was simply horrific. Except for Pierce who scored 36 points, the Celtics did not have a second player to score in double figures. The defense was simply terrifying!

Then the second game between the Kings and the Jazz was completely like basketball in another world. 106 to 100. Neither team could guard the other. The old duo showed amazing power. Malone scored 29 points, 19 rebounds and 5 assists.

Stockton had 9 points and 15 assists, but he couldn't hold off the Kings. Seven players scored in double figures. Webb's rebounds were taken away by Malone, but he had 35 points, 10 assists and 5 rebounds, an extraordinary data of 30 10 5. Bibby ended up with 35 points, 10 assists and 5 rebounds.

Always showing off his power, Bibby, who was made 1 of 6 from the field and committed 5 fouls by Old Stockton in the first three quarters, made a fatal three-pointer at the last moment. He only scored 8 points in the game and only took one three-pointer.

, but it is the most critical three-pointer.

This situation is very different from yesterday. Yesterday, the east and west seemed to have been reversed.

The Pacers lived up to expectations and failed to defend the Bucks led by Payton at home. They were defeated by the Bucks. The Bucks took away the home court advantage 109 to 100.

The Bucks and Pacers at least tried to defend, but they really couldn't defend. The 76ers and Hornets simply stopped defending and were competing to see who was stronger. In the end, the 76ers defeated the Hornets 102-97 and held on to the third seed.

A home ground.

On the other hand, the West is a defensive battle. The Spurs' offense is indeed not good, but their defense is strong. Yao Ming felt the malice from San Antonio and was blocked by Duncan five times. He only scored 9 points and 5 rebounds in his first playoff game, while Duncan scored 35.

With an explosive performance of 18 points, he led the Spurs to rely on defense and beat the Rockets 89-79 to get a good start.

In the series between the Mavericks and the Trail Blazers, Pippen was very defensive from the beginning. Pippen probably felt that he was not far away from retirement, so he tried his best to defend to the death. Rasheed Wallace was inspired to defend the NBA.

Rasheed Wallace is very good at power forwards like Wisky. He almost locked up the Mavericks' offense at the beginning. The Mavericks couldn't score on offense and got angry and locked horns with the Trail Blazers on defense.

In the end, the Mavericks struggled to hold on to their first home game, defeating the Trail Blazers 91-86 and winning their first victory.

The first game of each round of the series is the game that sets the tone of the game most of the time. The tone of the previous six rounds of the series has been set, and they all show the strategies of their own teams and the strategies that are forced to change.

The opening game of the seventh series is about to begin, the opening game of the series between the Eagles and the Pistons.

…

…

The topic of Black Eight is always talked about by people, and the ratings have also become the highest in the first round of the playoffs. Everyone wants to see the Hawks who entered the playoffs as the eighth seed.

What kind of tone will the team set for the game?

The Pistons offended many teams back then, and all the fans were eagerly looking forward to seeing the Hawks defeat the Pistons again. Except for the Pistons fans, they saw that the fans on the Internet were almost one-sided in favor of the Hawks, and they were very angry.

, after the Eagles entered the arena, boos resounded throughout the Palace of Auburn Hills.

In the past two years, the Pistons and the Hawks have had a close relationship. First they had a fight here, and then the Hawks swept the Pistons in the second round of the playoffs last season. Ratliff also stole Ben Hua.

Rice's best defensive player, this year the Pistons finished first in the Eastern Conference, but everyone pointed at them for being hacked. Not only the Pistons fans were angry, but the Pistons players were also angry.

Liu Mang and his teammates were not afraid of the boos at all and concentrated on warming up before the game, waiting for the game between the Kings and Jazz to end.

As for the opening game, all eight games in two days will be broadcast live, so you have to wait until the last game is over before the next one starts. You really just have to wait.

Finally, after the Kings defeated the Jazz at home, the Hawks' opening game was about to begin.

The Eagles sent out a combination of Liu Mang, Prince, Raheem, Muhammad, and Ratliff, and the Eagles' lineup at the end of the season remained unchanged.

The Pistons sent a combination of Billups, Hamilton, Michael Curry, Clifford Robinson, and Ben Wallace.

Liu Mang stretched his neck and shoulders, went to the technical stage and applied some magnesium powder, and after completing the opening moves with Boozer, he stepped onto the court.

Playing in the playoffs for the first time as a player, Liu Mang is very excited now. He comes to the court with his teammates and prepares to jump the ball.

After rattling and irritating the fans on the other side of the technical stage, Ratliff came to the center of the court and stood with Ben Wallace in the center of the court.

Liu Mang stood behind Ratliff on the left, feeling eager to try. When the referee blew the whistle to start the game and pointed the ball toward the sky, Liu Mang suddenly jumped forward...

Ben Wallace defeated Ratliff in the jump ball without any suspense. Ben Wallace's explosive speed made him jump at the same time as Ratliff, but he touched the ball first and pushed it backward.

Billups judged the landing point and was ready to catch the falling ball. He was quite confident about Ben Wallace's jump ball. In the 70 games played by Ben Wallace this year, the Pistons had the best jump ball.

The probability of winning the ball is extremely high, especially when a center like Ratliff is the opponent, the Pistons basically win all the jump balls!

Just when Billups was ready to catch the ball early, and the ball was dialed back by Ben Wallace as expected, when Billups stood up and was about to receive the ball, there was an exclamation of surprise from the scene.

.

Billups is a calm man. Perhaps purely from the perspective of scoring, defense, assists, etc., there are many point guards in the league who are better than him, but his biggest characteristic is that he is calm and cold-blooded. I think the reaction of these fans is too much.

Wait a minute, isn't it obvious that Ben Wallace won the jump ball? The opponent rarely wins jump balls, so it's really a big surprise... Oh, let me go...

Just when Billups was cursing that he was about to catch the falling ball, a blue-black figure jumped in front of him. With arms and claws that were longer than his, Billups was

As soon as he touched the ball, he snatched it away and passed him by.

Before Billups could react to what happened, a "bang" dunk sound reached Billups's ears.

Billups looked back and saw that Liu Mang was still pressing his left hand on the basket, and the ball fell from the basket.

Liu Mang started the game with a steal and a fast break dunk with his left hand!

When playing against Iverson, Nash, Parker and others, the speed from 94 to 92 may have a greater impact, but when playing against Billups, whose speed rating is only 88, I'm sorry, Liu Mang is still the faster one.

!

Billups still said on his face: I am calm, this is expected... but my heart is in turmoil.
Chapter completed!
