Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, regardless of whether the Chicago Bulls have Derrick or not. Rose, compared to them, the Cavaliers are more willing to face the lower-ranked Philadelphia 76ers.

And it's not just about the difference in quality between the two teams, because if the Cleveland Cavaliers face the Philadelphia 76ers in the second round, they will continue to have the advantage of being at home. After playing two games at home, head to Philadelphia to continue playing on the road.

So when the Cleveland Cavaliers players learned on the news that the Philadelphia 76ers won the Chicago Bulls in Game 5 between the two sides in early May, everyone was very excited.

Because this way, they don't have to go to Philadelphia so early to prepare their luggage, but can wait for the Phillies in Cleveland in peace!

For the Eastern Conference semifinals with the Philadelphia 76ers, the Cleveland Cavaliers can be described as full of confidence. In fact, even if it is not the 76ers, but the Chicago Bulls, the Cavaliers are full of confidence. And it's not just that there is no Derek. Rose's Bulls, even with Rose's Bulls, the Cavaliers are not afraid of them.

Because in last year's Eastern Conference Finals, the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Chicagoans with a score of 4:1 to enter the Finals. And compared to last season, this season's Bulls have not changed much in terms of lineup, so the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have also improved in strength, will not be afraid of them.

However, now they are facing the worse Philadelphia 76ers, which is still great news for the Cleveland Cavaliers players. Because in this way, it means that they will play more easily in the second round of the game.

Who doesn't want to be comfortable winning. I hope that the fierce game will always be the group of people who are the fans, and the group of people who are the players. Which one can score a goal and win without lying down......

But this is just a fantasy, and despite the Cleveland Cavaliers' excellent quality, head coach Byron Brown. Scott doesn't underestimate an opponent just because he's a weaker team that qualifies. As a two-time head coach who has led the New Jersey Nets to the Finals, Scott still knows very well that in the playoffs, a careless mentality is unacceptable.

So after learning about the opponents for the next round, the players of the Cleveland Cavaliers, who had been resting for a few days, began to work on head coach Byron. Under Scott's organization, the training camp began. However, there is not much time left, as the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Chicago Bulls to reach the Eastern Conference semifinals. Soon hopped on a plane to Cleveland.

The Philadelphia 76ers, who have just completed the feat of Black Seven, almost do not have much time to rest, and they are going to nervously devote themselves to the next round of games.

However, the entire Cleveland Cavaliers team did not mean to be careless, but the semifinals with the Philadelphia 76ers made the Cleveland media happy.

Because in the eyes of the media, the Cleveland Cavaliers' opponent in the semifinals is the Philadelphia 76ers, a team that ranks seventh in the Eastern Conference during the regular season. This is undoubtedly guaranteed to enter the Eastern Conference finals!

So on the day the Philadelphia 76ers arrived in Cleveland, the Cleveland media celebrated......

"It looks like God is going to let Cleveland win this season's championship this year, the New York Knicks, the Philadelphia 76ers. This simply allows the Cleveland Cavaliers to save their energy for the Eastern Conference Finals and Finals later...... Although it is a bit arrogant to say this, the truth is always impossible to hide! I don't know how to describe what the Cavaliers have experienced in the first round of this season's playoffs and the upcoming semifinals! I don't think there is any team in history that has won the championship with such an easy schedule! ”

Although this passage of Cleveland's media is somewhat arrogant in it. But at this time, in the hearts of most people, this is also a fact! The Cleveland Cavaliers far surpass the Philadelphia 76ers in terms of strength, which is the key reason why the current Cleveland media dare to make wild statements.

And on this. Igu Odara, the core player of the Philadelphia 76ers who arrived in Cleveland, was very low-key: "The Cleveland Cavaliers are indeed a very strong team, and Wu Dawei's excellent performance in the first round has put a lot of pressure on me and the team. But that doesn't stop us from that, since we're in the second round, we're going to give it our all and try to beat the opponent just like we did in the first round! ”

Igu Odara didn't say much about ambition and kept a low profile like his style of play on the pitch. And the whole team of the Philadelphia 76ers is also relatively low-key after coming to Cleveland. Didn't beat the Chicago Bulls at all, and the high spirits after completing the feat of the Black Seven.

At least at this point, Cleveland fans clearly prefer the Philadelphia 76ers as an Eastern Conference semifinal opponent. At least compared to the New York Knicks, the 76ers look much more comfortable. At least the Phillies aren't going to put on an attitude that I'm sure I can beat you when the game hasn't even started, or even when they're already down by a wide margin.

For that alone, the Philadelphia 76ers are much more likable than the New York Knicks, who only pretend to be noble.

Although the Philadelphia 76ers, the opponent of the Cleveland Cavaliers, had been infinitely flattened by the outside world before the series of the Eastern Conference semifinals began, the players of the Philadelphia 76ers have repeatedly said that they will not give up this series so lightly. Because when they get past the Chicago Bulls and reach the semifinals that they didn't originally intended, they will naturally have some caution.

It's not going to happen in the playoffs. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers are extremely full of strength and form, as well as morale and confidence; However, the Philadelphia 76ers, who upset the Chicago Bulls in the first round of the playoffs, are also full of confidence.

Although they were able to beat the Chicago Bulls, one of them was the presence of Derrick. The reason for Rose's unexpected injury is in it, but it can't be denied that they have accomplished the following feats in the first round of this year's playoffs! The first round of this year's playoffs, which has few highlights, adds the only bright spot.

The Eastern Conference semifinals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Philadelphia 76ers will begin on May 5, and their matchup will still be played before the Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics game begins.

So when the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Chicago Bulls on May 2, they flew directly from Chicago to Cleveland on May 3, and started preparing for the second round directly after the first round, and only those shrunken seasons in the history of the league have been so busy.

Although such a tight and dense schedule makes the players of the Philadelphia 76ers feel very tired, in their opinion, there is good news. That is, they are in good form, and it has been nearly a week since the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the New York Knicks on April 29 and they have not played for nearly a week before they play Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Philadelphia 76ers.

So no one knows if the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have rested for so long, will still be in the same good shape as they were when they played the New York Knicks in the first round.

However, most people still maintain absolute confidence in the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Tickets for the May 5 game were also sold out early in Cleveland. The enthusiasm of the Cleveland fans is definitely warm enough, and who wouldn't want to watch their favorite team step by step on the road to becoming a champion?

And the excellent record and the excellent performance of the core players in every game are the reasons for the hot market in Cleveland.

David Wu in this LeBron. Where James grew up, it is already the image of James who represents basketball here!

When Wu Dawei broke the opposing Cameron in the just-concluded first-round series. After Anthony, Cleveland fans have even more hope for him. That is after meeting James, beating LeBron. James...... Just like he's done every time he's done before, and better than that!

This has always been the hope of Cleveland fans, but for now, of course, people still hope that David Wu is beating LeBron. Before James, he first went to beat Andre, the core player of the Philadelphia 76ers. Igu Odara!

And in this matter, Cleveland fans are full of confidence. Because Igu Odara is even a better than Cameron. Anthony is even less than a swingman for the front guard.

Of course, Wu Dawei is also extremely confident in this, but the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Byron Brown. Scott, but he didn't really want Wu Dawei to just pounce on Igu Odara on the defensive end.

Because the Philadelphia 76ers' offense is not all pinned on Igu Odara. Although Igu Odara is the nominal core of the Philadelphia 76ers, on the offensive end, their guard Zhu Aodara is the nominal core of the Philadelphia 76ers. Holiday is clearly the more important player. Therefore, Scott hopes that Wu Dawei can play his excellent defensive ability in this round of the series and help the whole team improve the overall defensive strength. (To be continued......)
