Neither the players nor the coaching staff of the Eagles felt that the sky was falling after they lost one game, and the Eagles fans didn't feel that it was anything, it was just that they lost the first game.

Tracy McGrady’s weird shooting moves, Liu Mang and Jason Terry shooting farther and farther and then hitting the iron three-pointer, Iguodala’s second offensive dunk and being blocked, Rasheed Wallace imitating Kobe’s

The three extreme pull rods are not to touch...

Eagles fans are much calmer than those who are advocating that the Pacers are bad online.

Although some people pretending to be Eagles fans on the Internet are "angry", real Eagles fans are much calmer. They express their dissatisfaction in a self-deprecating way, but at the same time they encourage Eagles players.

Of course, it is true that not many people really think that the Hawks will be hacked. The fans just like to join in the fun, and not many media say that the Pacers may be hacked.

A black eight requires some very specific factors, the most important of which is that it needs to be better than the opponent in some areas, such as the Knicks' black eight, Sprewell and Larry Hughes blew up the Heat; the Nuggets

Black eight, Mutombo averages 12 points and 12 rebounds per game. The key point is that Mutombo averages 6.2 blocks per game. The SuperSonics can hardly score in the paint; the Hawks' dark eight is crushing strength.

As for the Pacers, they were upset. Fans and the media didn't see what made the Pacers better than the Hawks. The only thing that was better was their concentration.

However, the Eagles lost the first game of the playoffs, which was indeed a big deal. Many media could not interview the Eagles players, and the Pacers remained tight-lipped. They just said that their efforts were rewarded and did not deliberately emphasize that they won.

Already.

So the media went to interview players from other teams.

But no one wants to be slapped in the face, especially those teams that are trying to compete for the championship and want to expect the Eagles to be defeated in the first round of the playoffs... It is too embarrassing to say that.

Garnett, who did not make the playoffs, said in an interview: "They are the Hawks and they were hacked? What are you thinking! They have Ace Liu, Tracy McGrady, and La

Sid Wallace, there's no way they're going to lose. You might as well write about how angry the Hawks will be and what the consequences will be for the Pacers. I've been through this."

…

On April 22, Garnett, who was on vacation in Los Angeles, accepted an interview in the morning, and then went to a private club in Los Angeles with his agent in the afternoon to meet with Timberwolves management, Celtics star Kevin McHale.

talks.

Garnett's words resonated with the fans. Except for a few people who are fanciful, what most fans are looking forward to now is the next performance of the Eagles.

Just like what Garnett said, fans are looking forward to what the Eagles' vengeful players, especially the notoriously petty Liu Mang, will do next.

Garnett has already applied for a trade to the Timberwolves after the regular season.

On the 19th of next month, Garnett will turn 30. He is already a veteran who has played in the league for 11 years. Now the Timberwolves have almost nothing to do with the championship and cannot even touch the edge of the playoffs. Garnett has already

can not wait anymore.

Originally, Garnett waited until he was 31 years old, that is, in the middle of the 2006-2007 season, and then applied for a trade after being completely desperate. This time, because there are five strong teams in the West and the Hawks in the East, Garnett seems to have a long-term dominance.

I couldn't wait any longer. I didn't wait until next season and applied for a trade after this season.

McHale, after the regular season, discussed with the team owners and the management of some other teams for a few days, and today came to Los Angeles to negotiate with Garnett, who is on vacation.

"Kevin, every time I call your name, it's like looking in the mirror. Kevin, are you sure you want to leave?" McHale first got close, then asked.

McHale and the Timberwolves bosses did not want to keep Garnett. The five-year contract Garnett signed in 2004 did not expire until 2009. If the Timberwolves kept Garnett, who was already 33 years old in the summer of 2009,

It is unlikely that he will go to another team. He may simply sign a long-term contract to retire. The Timberwolves will also have a "one person, one city" superstar.

But the Timberwolves boss is quite humane, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to an agreement like that for Joe Smith, and McHale has other purposes.

Of course, if a superstar in his twenties or seventeen years old applied for a trade, the management would not agree.

But a star's peak period only lasts a few years. Garnett is already 30, and it's hard to say how many years he can maintain his condition. The situation is very different at this time. If a superstar wants to leave, the team won't be able to keep him.

Why did the Timberwolves boss choose to agree in a very humane way, in exchange for some chips, and he could also play hard for the draft picks.

With Garnett here, the Timberwolves don't dare to be too deliberately bad and have to work hard to win. But without Garnett, fans won't think it's a problem no matter how much they lose.

Garnett heard McHale's words and replied without hesitation: "I can't wait. I want to win the championship, but my best teammate is Ricky Davis. I don't see any hope. I

I want to go to a more competitive team.”

McHale was not surprised. Garnett was definitely leaving. McHale asked tentatively: "Kevin, what do you think of Paul Pierce? If you play with him, I think you can do great things."

.”

"Paul Pierce? Is he as good as Tracy McGrady?" Garnett asked back.

The Celtics were 27 wins and 55 losses, and Garnett had no interest at all.

If there were no Hawks in the East, O'Neal's apparent peak was only two years away, and there were no other super teams in the East, Garnett would still be excited about teaming up with Pierce.

But now there is the Hawks in the East. Although Pierce is good, he can't even touch the edge of the playoffs when he leads the team alone. There is a clear gap between him and Koaimaika. It is obvious that Pierce has never been in the playoffs without him.

With All-Star teammates, he proved that his team is competitive. He had Antoine Walker in the early stages of his career. After losing Antoine Walker, Pierce's statistics were good, but his performance as a team leader was as bad as the worse.

It's true to have a big heart, but it needs to be based on the fact that the team is already strong for Pierce's big heart to work.

And this time, the Sonics are still one of the top four teams in the Western Conference. The Sonics are still playing in the playoffs. The Celtics have no chance to offer Ray Allen. Only Pierce is there to support the facade.

Nate couldn't even look down on him.

If the owner of the Sonics wants to sell the team, he needs some stars in the team. Before the team is sold, it is unlikely to dismantle this lineup that can dominate the Northwest Division.

McHale heard Garnett's rhetorical question and felt a little troubled.

Trading Garnett does not require Garnett's consent, but if Garnett is still dissatisfied with sending Garnett to the Celtics and still wants to apply for a trade, then he will have installed a time bomb for his old club!

And just like Garnett asked, Pierce... is really not enough. The biggest honor Pierce has received now is a third team and four All-Star substitutes. Although he is the top star in the league, he is not as good as those superstars.

The gap is obvious. Pierce has never been among the top three players at his position, and his player ranking has always been between 15 and 20. It's not bad, but it's still a bit far from being the core of attracting Garnett.

The negotiations ended early, and McHale had no second plan. He was not a very capable manager, otherwise he would not have made that kind of contract with Joe Smith.

Timberwolves fans all feel that McHale's ability to sit as Timberwolves CEO for so many years is probably because he took a bullet for the Timberwolves boss...

Garnett's first negotiation with Timberwolves management went nowhere.

…

…

Although I don’t think the Eagles will be hacked, other championship teams at least see that the Eagles also have weaknesses!

The Eagles finally showed the complacency of the defending champions!

This is a very exciting thing for other teams competing for the championship.

After the Hawks' game on the 21st, in the other three games that day, the Nets defeated the Pistons 73-69.

It's not an upset. Before the playoffs, the media's predictions for the Nets and Pistons series predicted that the Nets would be more likely to advance. After all, the Nets' playoff results in the past few years were better than

The Pistons are much better.

The Pistons have lived up to people's expectations, and their strength proves that they will absolutely collapse after this season.

The Lakers defeated the Nuggets 120 to 97. Kobe made 12 of 20 shots and scored 35 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists. Yao Ming made 8 of 12 shots, scored 20 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists, and actually had three steals. They were all obstacles to steals.

Than, the two taught Anthony and Camby how to behave.

Although the Mavericks are fifth in the Western Conference, their record is better than the SuperSonics, which is fourth in the Western Conference. The Mavericks have home court advantage and compete with the SuperSonics at home. The Mavericks are too restrained by teams like the SuperSonics who play sudden points.

, high-speed rotation defense, if the Sonics' three-pointers cannot shoot the ball against the opponent's high-speed rotation defense, it will be too difficult to beat the Mavericks.

123 to 114, the Mavericks defeated the SuperSonics at home.

By the 22nd, the other four games in the first round series were also decided.

The highlight of today is the series between the Heat and the Bulls.

Last year, the Heat were eliminated by the Bulls in the first round. This year, many fans are still looking forward to the Bulls making trouble.

But without Eddie Curry, who weighs more than a big white bear and can compete with O'Neal on the offensive end, the Bulls defended the Heat's three-point defense well, but they could not limit O'Neal's singles and Wade's breakthrough passes.

Guilty!
Chapter completed!
