It is indeed difficult to go further in the playoffs with a purely iron-blooded style of play.
After the Knicks were defeated by the Bulls, the Heat also suffered misfortune. 85-95, the Heat lost to the Raptors at home!

The main problem was that Mourning had a problem. At the end of the regular season, Mourning's performance dropped sharply and he became easily fatigued on the court. As a result, the Heat were overtaken by the 76ers in the last few games, losing ground and becoming weaker. The only chance for the Hornets to play against each other is against the youthful Raptors.

They defeated the Jazz at the beginning and took away the home court advantage at the beginning!
Facts have proved that Malone has not really aged yet. He averaged 27 points per game in the regular season and is still the same superstar who did not lose to Jordan in the regular season. However, Stockton, Hornacek, and Alden Polynis Everyone is getting old.
After the first game of each series, what is worth continuing to watch, what should not be watched, what is worth looking forward to Various types of fans already have their own opinions.

After the playoffs started, Zhang Hao blocked outside information. In the era before smartphones, this kind of thing was easy to handle. If he didn¡¯t accept interviews, watch TV, or read newspapers, it would be OK.
Jason Williams is also used to Zhang Hao. He will not gossip at this time. When can he make trouble casually and when should he do his best? Jia Daji has learned this a long time ago when he is by Zhang Hao's side.
Little Loli also knows that she cannot affect Zhang Hao at this time. After Zhang Hao finishes the playoffs, there will be plenty of time to influence him.
But you still have to attend the press conference after promotion.
&nbWe can¡¯t accept this reality, but things have happened. Looking at the Blazers players celebrating crazily, the fans on site shouted "We have Akers" and "Wait, the gentlemen will sanction you next year"
Zhang Hao has seen this scene before, but the fans in this arena were scolding him
It was okay if the Sonics fans didn¡¯t yell, but when they did, Nash and Rasheed Wallace hugged each other and started crying before they even entered the tunnel
They are the first to defeat Zhang Hao in the playoffs in three years! Thinking back to two years ago, how could Nash and Rasheed Wallace dare to imagine such a day?
Once upon a time, Nash and Rasheed Wallace thought - it would be great if we could beat Akers one day
This good thing actually happened to them this year!
The fans at the scene were frightened. Didn¡¯t they just curse at them? Why are you crying?
Nash and Rasheed Wallace used their strength to stop the abuse from Sonics fans.
Zhang Hao, on his side, looked at this scene, smiled, and walked towards the players' tunnel. When his teammates saw Zhang Hao leaving, they followed suit.
Zhang Hao was very reluctant to be eliminated in this round, but this time, his acceptance was even higher than in his rookie season.
Men will not mature, they will only grow old.
But men will become more experienced with time.
Now, he is more skilled at how to adjust his emotions and mentality to face tomorrow.
He recalled his goal at the beginning of the season - to reach the playoffs and strive to reach the second round.
All are completed, the excess is completed, MVP, double for a while and a fastest improvement award for pit father.
After returning to the locker room and taking a shower, Zhang Hao was about to say something to his teammates. When he saw the phone on in the closet, he took it out and took a look
