Philadelphia.

76ers training arena.

At the end of the day's training, the players sat together in twos and threes, resting and chatting.

"It's a pity, we played in the seventh game, and the Pacers still lost. To be honest, George's performance was really good, but in the end he was still too young."

"Well, compared to the Knicks, the Pacers are still relatively young. George is still a rookie with Qin and Jimmy. Speaking of which, Qin and their rookies are really strong. In addition to Qin, Jimmy , George, Wall, Hayward, Cousins, Monroe, these are not bad."

"Really, in only three seasons, three players have been selected to the All-Star..."

People are talking about the results of the first round of the playoffs.

At this time, the first round is over. Except for the fifth-ranked Rockets in the West to defeat the Nuggets to advance to the second round after 6 games with the Nuggets, none of the other groups of matchups have appeared in the next round. In the circumstances, the Thunder defeated the Warriors, the Clippers defeated the Grizzlies, and the Spurs defeated the Lakers.

Because the 76ers are in the East, the 76ers players are more concerned about the games in the East.

On the Eastern side, the 76ers, Heat and Bulls all advanced early, and only the Knicks vs. Pacers' duel played until the seventh game before the victory was determined.

In the end, the Knicks defeated the Pacers in the tiebreaker and successfully advanced to the second round.

In this way, the second round of the Eastern Conference will be officially released, 76ers vs. Heat, Bulls vs. Knicks.

"Come here all."

Suddenly, Assistant Professor Harry greeted everyone.

The crowd gathered, coach Luke holding a folder in his hand, said to everyone: "Tomorrow is the first game of the series against the Heat. We will go to the conference room later, and I will analyze the Heat's game for everyone. Get used to it. Okay, tidy up and let's go."

"Yes."

Everyone responded, no nonsense.

If it is the past, the training will be disbanded after the end of the training, each will return to their respective homes, but tomorrow is the first game of the second round, and the opponent is the defending champion Heat.

While the 76ers are full of ambition and want to get revenge on the Heat, they also understand that the strength of their opponents is by no means comparable to the Hawks.

A group of people came to the conference room. Coach Luke greeted the video analysts and explained to the players while playing the edited Heat team game video. From both the offensive and defensive aspects, the analysis of the Heat’s game style and the players’ game habits is very meticulous...

It took more than an hour for Coach Luke to stop.

"Okay, here it is." Coach Luke stood up and waved his hand: "Everyone, go back and rest well and get ready for tomorrow's game."

"Yeah." Everyone replied.

When everyone came out of the meeting room, their expressions were a bit solemn.

The Heat are really strong and the Big Three are very strong. Although the 76ers are stronger than last season, there is still an inexplicable pressure on the players.

"Qin, where are you going?" Assistant Harry suddenly shouted.

The others walked towards the outside of the arena, but Qin Hao walked to the other side, with Butler and Xiaoka by his side, that was the direction of the training arena.

Qin Hao turned his head and smiled at Assistant Harry: "I plan to go back and practice for a while. Don't worry, I know that I will be well-measured and will not delay tomorrow's game."

Assistant Professor Harry frowned slightly and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Coach Luke: "Okay, Qin knows it well, let them go."

After finishing speaking, the three of Qin Hao waved their hands.

......

At the same time, in a hotel in Philadelphia, the Heat also gathered in the hotel conference room, doing the same thing as the 76ers.

Because the 76ers rank second in the regular season record and the Heat are third, the 76ers have a home court advantage. The first two games of the series will be played at the 76ers' home court.

So the Heat came to Philadelphia a day earlier, but coach Spoelstra did not let them sit idle, gathered together to analyze the 76ers.

In fact, the analysis of the 76ers, the Heat coaching staff has started more than two months ago.

According to coach Spoelstra’s instructions, every two games, the Heat will have someone to analyze the 76ers’ game videos, study their play styles, tactics, game habits, etc...

Before coming to Philadelphia, Coach Spoelstra had already analyzed and explained to the Heat players, but on the eve of the game, he called everyone together.

For the 76ers, coach Spoelstra is very vigilant, especially after studying so many 76ers games, he dare not underestimate these young people.

One hour later.

"That's it for today." Coach Spoelstra got up and asked again: "Have you remembered these analyses for you?"

"Remember." Everyone responded.

Wait for the players to leave.

The assistant Craig came to Coach Spoelstra and said with some disapproval: "Coach, do you overestimate the 76ers? Although they played well this season, they are better than last season. Improved a lot, but we are the defending champions."

"Yes." Another assistant coach McAdoo also said: "We have LeBron, Dwyane, and Chris. In the playoffs, we must have an advantage here."

"Overestimated?" Coach Spoelstra frowned slightly. Is he really overestimating the opponent? Immediately he shook his head again, "No matter what, it's not a good idea to be fully prepared."

Hearing that, the two assistants nodded, but still a little disapproving. Even if they played against the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals last season, they did not see the coach so careful.

Just relying on the little guys of the 76ers, can they threaten us?

......

In the company, Jerry and Tom met for a drink. In the bar, the two of them were drinking while discussing the upcoming second round of the playoffs, talking about the 76ers and the Heat.

In a dormitory, a Chinese student is browsing the online media about the 76ers vs. Heat's game preview. Although he does not understand many of the seemingly professional analyses, he still reads it with gusto, watching and talking with his roommates. Discussion with relish.

In China, on the campus of Yuyang No. 7 Middle School, the students were excited, talking about the upcoming game, and shouting for the 76ers.

The slogan is loud, put out the heat!

In the provincial capital of Southern Province, Jiang Feng and Wang Lei continued their daily training. Apart from the trainers in the off-season, there were only two of them in the arena, which seemed a bit deserted.

The two of them are training and discussing. Some are worried about Qin Hao. The Heat can't deal with it...

In the attention of the people, the second round of the playoffs finally started. One year later, the 76ers once again ushered in the playoffs against the Heat.
