At the end of the regular season, the teams that made the playoffs were all on two days off, and the Bulls' 13-man playoff roster was confirmed.

Center: Chandler, PJ Brown.

Power forwards: Amondson, David Lee, Novak.

Small forwards: Lewis, Hill.

Shooting guards: Wang Jun, Barnes, Adrian.

Point guards: Calderon, Dujon, CJ Watson.

David Lee and Barnes, who have not officially returned from injury, are both in the squad. The defender brought in Watson, who could break through, and Dujon rested for a while and was in good shape.

Veteran Juwan Howard was not selected from the squad, his defense was too poor, his mid-range shooting ability also declined, and he didn't have anything to do with Novak's presence. His main role this season has been to liven up the dressing room, to impart experience in training, to act like an assistant coach.

Paxson asked Howard if he would be interested in joining the Bulls' assistant coaching staff after this season, and he declined, believing he was not old enough to play for a few more years.

As usual, ESPN found a dozen experts to make predictions for the first round of the playoffs.

Celtics vs Hawks.

The consensus was that the Celtics would sweep the promotion, and they swept the Hawks in the regular season. It's all team basketball, the Hawks lack superstars who can make a final decision, and Joe Johnson has a slightly inferior leadership temperament.

Bulls vs 76ers.

This series is also predicted to be a sweep, the 76ers offense is too poor, relying on defense to win, even if Chandler and Barnes don't play, it is difficult for a miracle to happen.

Pistons vs Wizards.

Arenas is back, and the Wizards are tridents again, which may cause a little trouble for the Pistons. Arenas' status is a question. Predict a 4-1 or 4-2 Pistons to advance.

Magic VS Knights.

This series is the focus battle, and the Magic have super center Howard. The Cavaliers have top small forward James and a perimeter who can shoot the basketball. It is predicted that both sides will play seven matches. There is a possibility of promotion, mainly depending on which side plays better.

The Western Conference is full of suspense, and the records of the eight teams are not much different.

Lakers VS Nuggets, experts are unanimously optimistic about the Lakers to advance. A 4-0 sweep or 4-1, the Nuggets' poor defense doomed them to not go far.

Hornets vs Mavericks, more people are optimistic about the seventh-largest Mavericks to advance, citing the Hornets' lack of playoff experience.

It seems that many people have forgotten how the Mavericks were blacked out by the Warriors last season, and experience is not always everything. The Bulls won the championship for the first time by relying on their youth and invincibility, and the players' ability to fight is more important. Experts predict a 4-2 or 4-3 Mavericks win. Paul will make a comeback next year.

Spurs vs Suns.

The biggest weakness of the Spurs is the small forward, Bowen and Finley are too old, but the Suns small forward is also a Dior, and there is not even a qualified substitute, so it is not much stronger. The Suns still have to rely on last season's roster to fight for offense, and the bench is worse than before. Spurs are expected to advance 4-2 or 4-3.

Finally, the 4th and 5th place Rockets VS Jazz.

Only three favored Houston's revenge, while the others thought the Jazz would advance and predicted a score of 4-1 or 4-2.

Maddie has yet to reach the second round, and Yao Ming is out injured. The Rockets' starting center is Mutombo. This weakness is so obvious that Mutombo is a marginal player if he puts other teams.

It was determined that the first round would be against the 76ers, and the Bulls were on vacation and did not look at the opponent.

Wang Jun continued to practice the longevity method at home. Endurance exercises to ensure state. He doesn't see customers behind closed doors, and he doesn't make videos anymore. It is necessary to concentrate before the big war.

He played 82 games in the regular season and was prompted to train at level 67. He only moved up two levels, the first time he had been so slow since he started playing basketball.

HE IS 194CM TALL AND BAREFOOT, AND HE HAS BEEN FROZEN AND NO LONGER GROWS. Weighing 96 kg doesn't change much.

Flexibility 54.5, continuous improvement. It was useful for him to practice the method of immortality all the time.

The reaction is 62.9, an increase of 1.6, the most improved, and Garfield plays basketball practice.

Speed 78.5, an increase of 0.8, a slight increase.

With a bounce of 72.3, he has made significant progress, and he often practices dunking, jumping higher and higher.

The strength is 72.6, which is not increased compared to level 65, and he thinks that the strength is enough, and he has not deliberately practiced it for a long time.

Endurance is 81.3, an increase of 0.2, and the increase is probably due to underwater training, which is too torturous.

He accumulated calories up to the standard, drew a prize, and got Reaction Training II.

Host visual connection training system. Open the boxing sparring simulation in the open area, the boxer's movement speed, punching speed is gradually upgraded, and the host's reaction speed, flexibility, endurance, and footsteps are mainly trained. After a total of 10 hours, the host can be turned off autonomously.

He had pulled out this kind of prop before, but he just tried it, but he didn't practice, and now he has accumulated nearly twenty hours.

Wang Jun prefers to spend time practicing speed and jumping. The summer is the Beijing Olympics, and his original goal was to train to reach level 70, maybe he can greatly improve his strength.

The task will definitely not be completed, and the systematic evaluation is still a "first-class star", he feels that his ability to break the bag is much stronger than before, and he will definitely have to wait for the 70th level to change the evaluation.

The players relaxed and waited for the playoffs to begin. Most of the Bulls players are more honest and don't go to nightclubs together.

On the 19th, the 76ers arrived in Chicago.

Coach Maurice Cheeks strictly forbade players to go to nightclubs and other places for entertainment, making them abstain from preparing for games and preparing to fight the Bulls.

The 76ers rose immediately after Iverson's departure, looking at the lineup, probably the worst of the top eight teams, and the star Iguodala was only a second-rate star, but they relied on tenacious defense to get the seventh position.

The current 76ers are fearless, never give up, and dare to fight any team.

More and more people felt that Iverson was really bad, and after leaving Philadelphia, the 76ers' defensive intensity immediately increased significantly, and they joined the Nuggets, who became one of the worst teams defensively.

Iverson, of course, has his strengths. Fans only have to play NBA games to feel that it is valuable. Players will find that Iverson is too difficult to use in the game, he will be blocked when he rushes in, he will not be able to score three points, and it will be difficult to score points due to his height limitations.

is such a person who has poor physical condition in the game, but he has won the NBA scoring championship four times in the real world, and the difficulty can be imagined.

Iverson is such a person, giving ordinary people who are about the same height as him and may weigh more than him, a dream of being a scoring champion in the NBA, and an excellent YY object.

On this day, the first round was played in four matches.

The Cavaliers beat the Magic on the road to snatch a crucial victory.

Howard chipped in 23 points, 16 rebounds and 4 blocks, still losing to the Cavaliers 3 20+, James 32 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, Ilgoskas 22 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists, Bibby 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

The No. 4 defense became a fatal flaw for the Magic.

The Spurs defeated the Suns at home, with both teams playing a 117-115 run.

The Rockets lost to the Jazz, the interior line suffered too much, and Alston couldn't defend DeLong.

The Mavericks lost to the Wasps, and the experience didn't work. Paul had a big double-double with 35 points and 10 assists, and he made a stunning debut. Ben Wallace also played a role, chipped in 10 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks.

The Mavericks center is Dampier, Big Ben doesn't always have to defend and can resist blocks near the penalty area, and the fly in the ointment is that the free throws are still bad.

On the 20th, both the Bulls and the 76ers were ready.
