365. Sweeping the Bulls
After the regular season ranking comes out, this means that all teams already know the opponents they will meet in the first round of the playoffs.
The Magic's opponent in the first round of the playoffs was the Chicago Bulls.
For this point, there are basically very few people who can support the Bulls before the game to win.
After all, the only one in the entire Bulls who can play is Derek Ross.
As for the remaining players, except for Luo Er Deng who can average more than 15 points per game, the rest are some opponents at the level of stink tomatoes and bird eggs.
So for the Magic, the first round is basically a 4-0 sweep, and even the chance of losing a game is slim.
…………
After the first round of the playoffs, in the first game between the Magic and the Bulls, the Magic, who played at home, easily slaughtered the Bulls with 27 points.
Although this result was already speculated in the hearts of fans before the game, when the game was over, it still made many fans take a breath.
No matter what, the teams that can enter the playoffs must have their own abilities.
As a result, in the first game of the playoffs, the Bulls were slaughtered by the Magic for nearly 30 points, which still makes people feel a little ashamed.
Especially for Chicago fans, under the leadership of Derek Ross, the Bulls finally returned to the playoffs for two consecutive years.
But it was also a sweep in the first round of the playoffs for two consecutive years.
This year is probably even worse. Not to mention being swept in the first round, even wanting to lose within ten will become a luxury.
At least at this moment, although Chicago fans really want to support their parent team, they can't find any reason why the Bulls can beat the Magic in an upset manner.
With the end of the first game of the playoffs, Bulls head coach Denagro seemed to have not given up.
In the next few games, the lineup was constantly changing, and it seemed that he wanted to find an opportunity to win a victory from the Magic.
After all, Denagro knew that if the Bulls could no longer make a difference this year, he would definitely face dismissal next year.
Of course, from the moment, his dismissal has become a necessity.
Even if his coaching ability is pretty good, if he cannot lead the team further, then someone must take the blame if he has No. 1 pick Derek Ross.
For the team's head coach, once the team's performance cannot meet the management's expectations, he has to take the blame even if he doesn't take it...
In the end, in the next three games, the Magic won three consecutive games without any suspense, directly swept the Bulls with a score of 4:0 in the first round of the playoffs, and advanced to the Eastern Conference semi-finals first.
In the four games that lost, the Bulls lost 27 points, 31 points, 35 points and 46 points respectively.
It is no exaggeration to say that when people think that this series has just begun, the loss in the first game was already at the peak of the Bulls.
In the next three games, the Bulls lost one game more and another.
If it is said that in the normal historical trajectory, Denagro also faces the end of the get out of class after coaching this season.
Then in this life, the Magic will intermittently help Denagro get out of class more happily...
