Chapter 80 Black 8 Miracle! !



Chapter 80 Black Eight Miracles! !
Bruce sat in the office with some excitement, looking at the data sheet about rookies in his hand, his eyes suddenly shone brightly!
After a few days of short search, except for some international rookies Bruce sent scouts there, combined with his previous life knowledge, he searched for those rookies who were called geniuses in the previous life one by one!
With the start of the playoffs, each team has come up with maximum energy, and the game between the Knicks and the Heat is unbelievably silent!

On May 5, the Knicks ended the first game with a 8:95 victory over the Heat by 75 points. In the game, Sprewell and Alan Houston were extremely hot. They scored 22 points respectively. Due to injury, Ewing did not score in double figures, but his strong defense and rebounding ability allowed him to get a game-high 15 rebounds and 4 blocked shots!

However, the Heat against the Knicks were somewhat in a slump overall. Even though the head star Alonzo Mourning scored the highest score of 27 points in the game, his rebounds were nearly 7 rebounds less than Ewing's. , Tim Hardaway and Jamal Mashburn, the two star players, did not play their worth at all.

In the whole game, Hardaway played 37 minutes and only got 10 assists, 3 rebounds and 3 assists as a role player. The only two points were his proud steals. With his active defense and anticipation, Hardaway He scored an astonishing 4 steals in the game, but he failed to make the team win the game despite his low scoring!
Due to perennial injury problems, Jamal Mashburn played 35 minutes second only to Mourning. In such a long period of time, he failed to show his all-around skills at all, and only scored 7 points and 2 minutes. Dirty stats of assists and 2 rebounds!
The Heat's small forward Dan Marley and the Knicks' Kurt Thomas became surprises after removing the star of the team.

Although Dan Marley only scored 1 point in the whole game, his rebounds were higher than Mourning's. In normal games, he got a total of 10 rebounds, all of which came from the backcourt!

Kurt Thomas was stronger than the former, he scored 6 points and 9 rebounds in the game!

In the game between the Knicks and the Heat, no one could have imagined that the Knicks, who were plagued by injuries, could play the game like this in the predictions before the game, and they also did not expect that the extremely tough Heat in the regular season would Lost the game by a huge gap of 20 points!
From Bruce's point of view, even though he has the memory of his previous life, there are some inevitability in this game now. During the regular season, Heat coach Pat Riley promised the media the championship, and the team itself, those Players are also as proud as Riley!
When they learned that they would meet the Knicks, everyone ignored this slightly old and injured team. Houston's knee injury, Larry Johnson's back, and Ewing's perennial Injuries, this team was unanimously believed before the game that they would not enter the second round.

But now, when this injury-ridden team played against the mighty Heat, the media across the United States lost their voices. No one thought that this seemingly weak team would play such an eye-popping game!

Bruce looked at the newspaper in his hand, glanced at the rookie data on the table, and couldn't help thinking about it!

On May 5, the Heat finally tied the score with difficulty by virtue of their home court advantage.

When they breathed a sigh of relief, the third game sent them into the abyss again!
When people are talking about the Knicks winning the game with a big score in the first game, the Knicks in the third game once again surprised these people!
In the third game, the Knicks once again won the game with a huge difference of more than 20 points, but this time it was Camby's real chance to shine!

In the whole game, there was basically no suspense after entering the second half. Sprewell scored 27 points in only 20 minutes of playing. Ewing and other players scored in double figures in only 20 minutes of playing. Houston also played nearly 10 minutes less than the previous game!
As the first round gradually comes to an end, the situation in the East and West has basically revealed its clues.

The Knicks beat the Heat with Houston's infrequent floater at the end, making them the star of the series.

The miracle of the Black Eight is not so easy to do, but the Knicks did it, and they will definitely be recorded in history!
In the East, since Iverson joined the 76ers, the first playoff trip entered the second round with a 3:1 record!
The Pacers sent the Bucks back to the Milwaukee Bucks with a clean 3:0 record, and the Eagles defeated the Pistons with a slightly difficult 3:2. They could have ended the battle in three games. In the case of home court advantage, they took the Pistons very simply, and when they were looking forward to the beauty of the second round, the Eagles who entered the "Palace of Auburn Hills" suddenly fell into the hustle and bustle of the devil's home court!

The Pistons then struggled to equalize the score amid the cheers of the home fans. When they faced the Hawks with excitement on their faces, in the last game, Grant Lang and Dikembe Mutombo's super explosive moments made them Tasted the bitter fruit of failure!

On the other hand, in the west, the Rockets, who were expected to win the championship during the season, were sent back to Houston by the former with a 3:1 record after meeting the Lakers. Barkley and Pippen have reached an irreconcilable level!

The two accused each other in interviews one after another, which surprised the media!

The Spurs won the pack of wolves led by Kevin Garnett with the same number of wins and losses. The duel between Garnett and Duncan once sparked a lot of controversy.

Although the two have not entered for a few years, their strong dominance still makes the fans excited about the duel between them!

The Jazz fought the emerging Kings in five games, and finally entered the second round with a 5:3 record.

Judging from the games between the two teams, under the coaching of Webber and Adelman, the Kings gradually showed their gorgeous style of play. On the other hand, the Jazz led by Malone and Stockton seemed a little old and twilight. .

Malone even won the MVP of the 98-99 season by virtue of his stable performance and team performance in the regular season. This award also gave Malone great encouragement and comfort when he was about to reach a low ebb!

The "Prison Team" Portland Trail Blazers swept the Suns out cleanly. Sabonis, who is 2 meters tall, fully showed his talent and scored 21 points in the first game. With 12 blocked shots, 3 assists and 8 rebounds, he performed a quasi-triple-double super performance. The next two games also made those Gugliotta who dared to underestimate this "old man" suffer!

Throughout the series, Sabonis showed people what it means to be an organizational center and what is a super high ball quotient!

With the teams in the East and West finalized to enter the second round, those teams that failed to enter and exit all started the work of this summer!
"Bruce, can't you think about it?"

Bruce was sitting in the office, he was completely helpless with Baylor's annoying "harassment"!

When the regular season ended, Baylor was completely in despair. Olowokandi, whom he and his boss Sterling were optimistic about, did not bring immediate results to the team, although the team's main players suffered injuries of varying degrees. Although affected by the disease, they still ranked second to last in the league, only winning one more game than the Vancouver Grizzlies.

Now, Baylor, who is in deep despair, when he thinks carefully about the team's gains and losses and plans for the future, he is horrified to find that he may not get any good results in the next few years!
Sterling's stinginess and the players' negative attitude towards the game, coupled with the disappointed curses of the fans, Baylor was going crazy about giving Bruce the first-round pick in 01!
"Bruce, you know where we are now. Although we are confident that we will improve in the next few seasons, we are still a rebuilding team!"

Bruce listened to Baylor's complaints and a little bit of caution with some amusement, curled his lips, and said, "Elgin, you also know what I think now, we are also in the process of rebuilding, so, the pick..."

Hearing Bruce's words, Baylor was in a desperate mood, and suddenly entered the ice cave.

What Bruce said was not wrong for Baylor at all, but the transaction at that time was satisfactory to both parties.

But now through thinking and research, Baylor suddenly discovered how stupid his trade and Sterling's decision were.Therefore, he now very much wants to exchange for the first-round pick in 01!
"How about Ramond Murray?" Baylor was already a little incoherent. Murray is one of the absolute main players of the Clippers. If it weren't for the injury problem, this player would definitely grow into a terrible small forward!
"What???" Bruce was completely shocked by Baylor's words. Even though this player's injury is a problem, he was not a vegetarian with 15 points and 4 rebounds last season!

"Oh no! I'm sorry, Bruce!" Realizing the mistake in his words, Baylor hastened to make amends!
Bruce knocked on the table in disappointment, thought for a while, and said with some regret: "Elkin, why don't we take a look after the draft?"

With the two arguing, when Bruce finally hung up the phone, he couldn't help showing a trace of hesitation on his face!
He knew what kind of rookie the Clippers would pick in 01, but now Baylor's incoherent words made Bruce hesitate!

He didn't know what he could get by making a deal with the Clippers. He subconsciously glanced at the rookie information on the table, and a look suddenly appeared in his eyes!
 The first!
