Chapter 287

After the Spurs were eliminated, the Philadelphia 76ers quickly followed the Spurs. In the fifth game of the series against the bulls, they lost by three points, which was a pity.

But even so, this team of 76 with two annual salary cores is still a bright spot!

This season has reached the eastern semi-finals. Next season, with the continuous growth of two young core strengths, Rick Carlisle will sew and mend again. Maybe they have a chance to play in the eastern finals!

Think about how many years Philadelphia's 76ers have been in bad shape, and now they finally see the light!

From the beginning of 1991, they have firmly established the line of "putting bad", which lasted for six years before they initially saw the hope of rising

The biggest reason why they have spent so long is that they have chosen a group of high ranking draft picks in the past three years.

In 1992, they chose Clarence Witherspoon in the ninth place, Shawn Bradley in the second place, and Sharon white in the sixth place. Except Bradley is a little famous, the remaining two are all aquatic products

Even Bradley, a big bamboo pole, said he was a water product. I'm sorry for the status of the top show, but there's nothing wrong

It wasn't until 95, when the 76ers chose Stackhouse, and then two years later Iverson and Dazhi, that their doom was over.

Imagine if the 76ers didn't get the number one pick in 1996, then they couldn't get Iverson. They could still be trapped in the mud and couldn't extricate themselves

With Iverson, they can get rid of the burden of Stackhouse, and then introduce Carlisle and Dazhi.

After sorting out this relationship, we can say that Iverson is the Savior of 76 people in Philadelphia!

……

Five days later, the remaining two groups of division finals also decided the result.

As Richard predicted in the East, the Knicks, as a team in the second half of the playoffs, went up one after another, made a round and finally met the bulls in the East finals.

On the west side, the Jazz won the game, beating the Rockets 4-3.

The physical problems of the three old rockets can't be ignored. The series of events are intensive and the intensity of confrontation is high. The three old rockets suffer a lot in physical strength.

This result made Richard a little sorry

He really wanted to have a fight with the Rockets, but the Jazz didn't give him such a chance!

They met the Blazers in the playoffs for the third year in a row!

The first time we met, Richard had not entered the NBA at that time, and the Blazers lost miserably

And the second encounter, that is, last season, although the Blazers still lost, but in the eyes of many Blazers fans, they have won and avenged last season.

The next western conference is the third meeting, and countless people are paying attention to this game!

No one will forget the bloody battle between the two teams, which is the most talked about event in NBA in recent two years

At the first regular season match this season, the two teams were fighting again. Although the next rematch was arranged, both sides were very restrained in the four games

But it's the regular season after all. The playoffs are not always the same as last season's brawl!

The fans don't know that Stern has informed the two teams separately

In this situation, the two teams are rat traps. No one dares to start first, because once they do, the cost is too high!

What's more, Richard didn't plan to do it. This time, their pioneers are going to kill the Jazz in a dignified way!

There's nothing more humiliating for a player than being hung on the court

The previous pioneers didn't have the ability in this aspect, their strength still has the disparity compared with the jazz!

But now Richard is confident. He feels confident that he can beat the jazz and doesn't need seven games.

……

Trailblazer boss Paul Allen has been delirious. The team has reached the Western Conference and may even have a chance to reach the finals next time!

In Paul Allen's opinion, it's not possible to make it to the finals, but it's certain to make it!

He had great confidence in Richard, and at the same time he was very happy for his wise action!

If I didn't invite Richard in person at the beginning, it may not be that easy for Richard to agree to join the trailblazers, and finally join other teams. It's not impossible

Now after Richard was invited, the effect was immediate. In just two years, the pioneers had already entered the Western decision!

And then we'll get to the finals!

……

On May 18, the first battle of the Western Conference kicked off, and the Blazers took their place at home to face Utah Jazz!

Before the start of the match, the two sides did not hold a press conference

At present, the hatred between the two sides is well known. There is no need to provoke each other. The only thing they need to do is to win the next series!"Guys, I don't have to say what this series means to us!"

The game is about to start. Richard is in the dressing room, inspiring the players!

All the players nodded solemnly. They knew the meaning of the series well, needless to say

It's not just about winning the jazz, it's about getting tickets to the finals!

"Good! Since we all know the meaning of the series, I won't say much about it! "

"In this round of series, our starting lineup is the same as that in the last round of series, where Lao SA plays the starting center!"

The general nods, the effect that old SA comes on stage is quite good indeed, moreover Jazz team inside also have no strong center, old SA teaches stinky tomato rotten bird egg inside line, it is quite easy to use.

At least it's better than the young Xiao Ao

"There's another thing you all know. You can't do it on the court!"

"I've told you all about the seriousness of this..."

"But still that sentence, we don't take the initiative, but if the other side dare to do something abusive, we can't spare them!" Said Richard to the general.

"Good! Coach, you can rest assured that this round of series is the final glory of jazz! "

"We'll be on the court and show them who's the real overlord of the West!"

"Fight for four games to wipe them out!"

All the generals shouted with great momentum!

……

"All right, guys, get ready to play and tear them up!"

"Tonight is the night when our pioneers swore the supremacy of the West. There is only one supremacy in the West. That is our Portland Pioneers!"

Richard roared and led the players to the stage.
