    During this period in 2001, the first round of the NBA playoffs also implemented a best-of-five series, with the home and away arrangement being 2-2-1. The first game between the Heat and the Hornets started as scheduled on the evening of April 22, 2001.

    The Hornets sent out their usual starting lineup for the regular season: point guard "First Generation Bearded" Baron Davis, shooting guard "Mickey Mouse" David Wesley, small forward Jamal Mashburn, power forward  p.j. Brown, center Eldon Campbell.

    There are some changes to the Heat's starting lineup: point guard Hardaway, shooting guard Jones, small forward Bowen, power forward Mason, and center Grant.

    Riley mentioned Bowen to the starting lineup. It seems that he still wants to strengthen the outside defense, especially the defense against Mashburn.

    As for the offense, apart from Bowen, who among the Heat's starting lineup does not average double figures per game?

    If you only look at the regular season average data, the Hornets' offensive power obviously seems to be better, because they have Mashburn who can average 20.1 points per game.

    In this era, averaging more than 20 points per game is considered a very powerful scorer, and averaging more than 25 points per game can be called a "super scorer."

    Except for Iverson, no one averaged more than 30 points per game in the regular season this season, and there were only 8 people in total who averaged more than 25 points per game.

    The Heat¡¯s top scorer per game is Eddie Jones. He only averaged 17.4 points per game this season, which is significantly lower than last season.

    However, the Heat have six players who average double figures in scoring per game: Jones, Mason, Grant, Hardaway, Wang Dalin and Mourning, while the Hornets only have four, Mashburn, Wesley, Davis and Campbell. In fact, the Heat  The team's offensive power is stronger than that of the Hornets.

    And the head coaches of the two teams are not on the same level. Although coach Paul Silas is good, how can he be compared with the "magic fortune teller" Pat Riley?

    So Wang Dalin was surprised why the Heat actually lost to the Hornets in the first round in the original time and space, and were swept out 3:0.

    Even if you don¡¯t have yourself in the team, the Heat¡¯s strength is still firmly above the Hornets, right?

    Things are often like this. The two teams are not just competing on paper strength. Who wins and who loses you still have to fight to know.

    And Wang Dalin didn¡¯t know that in the original history, Mason played 40 minutes against the Bucks on the night of April 18. As a result, he felt discomfort in his calf after the game. When he went to the hospital, it was found that he had a hamstring strain and needed to be treated.  Rest for 2-4 weeks.

    So in the original time and space, Mason missed the Heat's first-round playoff series against the Hornets due to injury.

    Suddenly without a strong man who averaged 16.1 points, 9.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game, the Heat were obviously a little inferior on both the offensive and defensive ends. It was normal that they couldn't beat the Hornets.

    ¡­¡­

    When about 6 minutes into the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 12:11, with the Heat trailing by 1 point.

    After all, it was the playoffs. Both sides played more cautiously and deliberately lowered the pace of the game.  However, the shooting percentages of both teams were pretty good, so the scores did not appear to be very low.

    It was the Heat's turn to attack. Hardaway called for a pick-and-roll from the outside. Mason came over to help him block it, and then quickly passed down.

    Hardaway¡¯s pass was very timely. After receiving the ball, Mason immediately jumped high and wanted to dunk. The result

    "Snapped!"

    "Boom!"

    "ah¡­¡­"

    Campbell pulled Mason down in one fell swoop. This was a very vicious foul move. Mason fell completely sideways in mid-air and let out a shrill scream after falling to the ground.

    This scream was so loud that almost all the 19,200 spectators in the American Airlines Center heard it.

    Grant was furious and pushed Campbell forward, causing him to stumble and almost fall directly into the crowd of reporters behind the basket.

    "Fake! You are murdering!"

    After this push, Grant was still cursing angrily and wanted to step forward to give Campbell some advice. Jones and Hardaway hurriedly came over and hugged him.

    "Brian, don't fight, do you want to be ejected?" Hardaway shouted in his ear, "Let's see how Anthony is doing first!"

    Campbell may have known that he was in the wrong, but he didn¡¯t fight back at all. He retreated behind Mashburn and Brown and acted like a duck.

    Mason was lying on the ground, his left hand stroking his right shoulder, with a painful expression on his face.  I don't know if the sweat on my face is from sweating in the first place or from pain.

    The team doctor came up to check and shook his head at Riley.

      The injury to Mason¡¯s right shoulder was very serious and he needed to be sent to the hospital immediately for further examination. It is still unknown whether the bone was damaged.

    "However, the team doctor has made a rough judgment based on visual observation alone. Mason's right shoulder is probably fractured

    When Mason was carried off the field on a stretcher, the entire audience stood up and gave him warm applause. When the stretcher passed by the bench, Mason endured the pain and said to his teammates: "Don't worry about me, everyone, promise me I will definitely"  Gotta kill them!"

    Riley's face clearly had a hint of ferocity. He held his hand and said solemnly: "Anthony, you can rest in peace and recover. We will definitely defeat them for you!"

    Mourning gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Anthony, don't worry!"

    Hardaway also came over and said: "We will definitely win!"

    Although the relationship between Wang Dalin and Mason is not as "iron-porcelain" as with House, they still get along pretty well.  He played a lot of games in his previous life, and there were situations in the game where he was injured and retired during the game, but he didn't feel it at all. After all, it was just a game.

    Now that I see my teammate leaving the field injured, I naturally have mixed feelings in my heart, and I want to go up and beat Campbell up.

    But he knew that this would definitely not work. No matter what, since this is a basketball court, anything that happens on the court must be solved with basketball!

    ¡­¡­

    The referee only called a common foul for such a bad foul by Campbell, and just now Grant received a T for pushing him.

    After a commotion, Grant was replaced and Wang Dalin and Mourning came on.

    Seeing Mourning step onto the court floor with a murderous look on his face, all four of Davis, Brown, Mashburn and Wesley couldn't help but feel a chill in their backs.

    Damn it!

    Campbell, you are such a weak soul!

    Who the hell are you doing wrong, but you did Mourning¡¯s teammates?

    Don¡¯t you know that this guy is known as a ¡°tough guy¡±?

    ¡°Have you forgotten that year when he dragged Bald Fan across the floor for more than 20 meters?

    Do you think he became weak after a kidney transplant?

    You can¡¯t lift the knife?

    Orare you so crazy?

    ¡­¡­

    No matter how vain the Hornets players were, the game had to continue. Since Mason, who was fouled, had already left the game, Hardaway took the two free throws instead of him.

    Hardaway lived up to expectations and made two free throws. The score reached 12:13 and the Heat led by 1 point.

    It was the Hornets' turn to attack. Davis dribbled the ball steadily to the frontcourt. Facing Hardaway's defense, he wanted to use his height and weight advantage to directly crush him into the three-second zone. As a result, he just entered the three-second zone.  A strong man like an iron tower stood tall.

    Mourning just moved one step and blocked Davis' path to the basket.

    Facing last season¡¯s best defensive player and shot-blocking leader, Davis didn¡¯t dare to make a mistake and quickly passed the ball to Campbell on the right.

    Campbell is more than three meters away from the basket. As Mourning goes to cover Davis, he is in the open space at the moment

    Faced with this opportunity, Campbell did not hesitate at all and immediately took a layup. As a result, as soon as he took the shot, he felt that the light above his head seemed to be much darker

    "Snapped!"

    What a hot iron-blooded pot!

    Mourning took off immediately with a sliding step. Although he is slightly shorter than Campbell, his shot-blocking ability is absolutely historical.  He blocked the ball very "brutally", not only knocking down the ball, but also knocking Campbell over.

    Wang Dalin followed Campbell to grab the second spot, and then passed the ball to Hardaway.

    After passing the ball, Wang Dalin hurriedly ran forward. As he ran, he looked back and saw Mourning slowly running forward. He looked around while running. No one in the Hornets team dared to look at him.

    Wang Dalin couldn't help but feel proud: "It seems like Mourning is really angry this time. Hornets, are you ready to face the wrath of the 'Tough Man'?"
