In the East, the Cavaliers defeated the Magic and took the lead in the series. James was unstoppable in the playoffs.
The Heat also defeated the Nets, the defending champion was as stable as ever, Wade played mediocre in the regular season, and the best team only had three teams. In the playoffs, it seemed to be activated, scoring, assisting, and defending.

After the first match, the 76ers' confidence also increased greatly. After all, the last time this team played in the playoffs was two years ago. At that time, Yang Ze was sitting on the sidelines and saw Iverson's helplessness.
In the round of the series against the Pistons two years ago, Iverson tried his best and only won one game, so it would not be too ugly to lose.
After Iverson returned to the locker room, he came directly to Ge Youlie and said very comfortably: "I haven't tasted such a big victory in the playoffs for a long time, and it's been a long time since I won such an easy playoff game .”
Chris Webber: "Just be content with it, how long has it been since I won a playoff game?"
Yang Ze took off his sneakers, put them in front of his nose and smelled them, and threw them aside in disgust, even the deodorant insoles couldn't prevent the smell of sweaty feet.
"We're going to keep winning, aren't we?" he said.
"Of course, there are idols, so it must be dropped." Iguodala from Nada in the northeast.
While speaking, head coach Cheeks walked into the locker room. With a smile on his face, he clapped his hands and said, "Guys, please allow me to announce a good news first."
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Cheeks in unison.
"In the voting for the best coach in the regular season, I, ahem, I ranked third."
Cheeks looked at this and then at that, he hoped to see everyone's congratulations to him, but everyone looked at him expressionlessly.
Iguodala almost made a disdainful expression, cut, it's the third, I'm so happy for you, we are the number one in the Eastern Conference.
"Uh" Cheeks was instantly embarrassed, this is not the result I wanted.
Yang Ze suddenly stood up with a smile and said, "Don't give our head coach Chi Chi Chi Chi."
After applause, Iguodala said: "We already knew, Coach Cheeks, how did you feel just now?"
Cheeks stared at Iguodala feigning anger, and said, "This must be your idea."
"However, with my tactical reserves and coaching ability, I can beat Mike D'Antoni, Mike Brown, Jerry Sloan, Jeff Van Gundy, Phil Jackson, etc., in the third position, I know, This is your credit, it is your outstanding performance, it is your hard work on the court, in exchange for the Philadelphia 76ers to be No. [-] in the Eastern Conference, thank you."
Cheeks said, and bowed to thank everyone. He is self-aware. As a young head coach, he has few coaching games and insufficient tactical reserves. It is simply a fantasy to beat Zen Master, Van Gundy and others.
But the two consecutive victories in the regular season directly made the Philadelphia 76ers top the Eastern Conference. With an excellent team record, he did it.
Although it is not the first, but this third is enough surprise.
Although Cheeks doesn't have a lot of tactical reserves, he can pour chicken soup. Sometimes, chicken soup is even more effective than tactics. He can inspire a player's fighting spirit and tap the player's potential.
And his discerning eye, among other things, after Yang Ze was abandoned by the Celtics and the Suns, no team paid attention to him and needed him, but he tried his best to give Yang Ze a chance, This alone shows his inclusiveness as a human being.
Under his leadership, the atmosphere in the 76ers locker room is also very harmonious, with few conflicts.
Confirming the dual-core system of Philadelphia's backcourt with two guns, Cheeks has led the 76ers to develop small ball tactics while other teams are still fighting civil wars, which also shows his foresight.
"Coach Cheeks, without your guidance, we wouldn't be able to achieve the No. [-] record in the Eastern Conference."
"Actually, the person who should say thank you the most is me. It was you who gave me a chance when I was most desperate. It was you who overcame all opinions and let me enter the starting lineup. It was you who gave me an Allen in Philadelphia." popularity and treatment. This is all due to you, why be humble.”
Yang Ze's words gave Cheeks enough face, making him laugh from ear to ear.
After the joke, Cheeks put away his smile and said solemnly, "I'll say the ugly things first."
Iguodala whispered, "You're ugly, you say it first."
Cheeks glared at him and said: "We won G1. This is something to be happy about. I shouldn't say something at this time, but it is related to how far we can go in the playoffs. I must To say."
When he started talking about business, even Iguodala, who had a hippie smile, sat upright and listened carefully.
"Please forgive me for my bluntness. Our substitute lineup played really rubbish. We were blown away by others today."
"I think I have tried my best to be fair and just in terms of personnel arrangement, but your performance is not satisfactory. Please remember, this is the playoffs, not the regular season. If we lose the playoffs, our season will be over. Do you understand?"
"Why Young, Andre, Korver and even Luiz, they improve so fast, is it because of their talent?
I can tell you responsibly that it’s not just that, when you’re drinking at the bar after the game, they’re training, when you’re in the nightclub, hugging scantily clad girls, they’re training, and you’re sleeping on the bed When they are training.
That's why, Yang can beat you for ten seasons in one season. If the following games still fail to meet my requirements, I will make preparations during the offseason and leave Philadelphia.
Philadelphia does not support idlers, let alone those who do not work hard. "
Sure enough, it was an ugly thing to say, after the regular season, Cheeks was not so angry. It seems that today's substitute wasted his advantage, which made him very unhappy.
"At the beginning of the next game, I will set a goal for every player, including Allen and Young. Of course, I will not deny everyone based on one game. If three consecutive games fail to meet the standard and playing time, I will Make adjustments."
"Yang, Allen, I will stagger your rest time at the start of the next game. You have to prepare."
