The results of the first day of the playoffs are undoubtedly shocking. In the four games, all the lower ranked teams won.
If you say that there are two games in one game, it may still be accidental, but all four games are the result of this, and it certainly cannot be explained by accident.
It turns out that the playoffs and the regular season are two completely different battlefields. The higher-ranked teams in the regular season only gain home court advantage in the playoffs. Apart from that, it does not represent anything else.
Those high-ranking teams that thought they must have stabilized, all paid the price for it.
With this unexpected result on the first day, people are even more looking forward to the 74 win against the Grizzlies.
Can they continue to kill the Quartet in the playoffs? It will still be upset like the four teams yesterday. No matter what kind of result, countless fans will watch the game!
The current attraction of the Grizzlies is like that of boxing champion Mayweather. His every game has attracted much attention. But this does not mean that everyone who watches his game wants him to win.
Watching the Grizzlies lose is also the fun of many people.
Bill Simmons emphasized the strength of the Mavericks before the game started, "They are definitely not easy to mess with. The competition in the Western Conference this year is very fierce. Therefore, although the Mavericks did not rise to eighth in the Western Conference until the last day of the regular season, but They are by no means a playoff underdog in the traditional sense."
"The Mavericks have won this season, and they are definitely the fifth and sixth level in the West. Although Nowitzki and others are old, they still show a good state. And, maybe Many people have forgotten that, apart from the Thunder, the Mavericks are the only team that has beaten the Grizzlies twice this season! In addition to the last game of the regular season, the Mavericks also won the Grizzlies once in early February."
Simmons once again played against the Grizzlies before the game, but this time, he obviously learned a lot.
He only explained the facts, and didn't add too much fuel or vinegar, nor did he black link too much. It seems that after repeated failures this season, Simmons also knows the fate of going against Link.
He doesn't want to be slapped in the face by Link again and again, unless he waits for a turnaround!
The Mavericks have never been so much-anticipated since winning the championship in 2011. Just because they became opponents of the Grizzlies, they instantly gained unprecedented attention.
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban will naturally not let go of this opportunity for bloggers. Before the game began, Cuban was extremely confident when interviewed by reporters.
"I know that the Grizzlies have won an incredible 74 wins this season. They did a great job all year and did a perfect job. The only mistake they made was to get the Dallas Mavericks into the playoffs. Very good. Soon, they will find out how wrong they are."
Kuban has always been a big mouth, and he is famous for spraying referees frequently. But apart from the referee, Cuban never shows mercy to his opponent.
In an interview last month, he also publicly stated, "I hope the Lakers will continue to be so bad."
Kuban treats his players and staff very well, but he is not so kind to his opponents.
At 7 pm on the 20th, one hour before the start of the game. Both players appeared in the Federal Express Arena and began to warm up for the first step in their playoff journey.
People thought the Grizzlies would be in a particularly relaxed state today, but when they warmed up, everyone on the Grizzlies was meticulous. The warm-up was carried out fairly systematically and seriously.
The fans are a little surprised. The Grizzlies have won 74 games. They are the best regular season team in NBA history, none of them!
But their attitude makes it as if the Grizzlies are the eighth in the West.
"It seems that Mark Cuban is right. The Grizzlies seem to be a little nervous. Yesterday, the four higher-ranked teams were defeated in the game. Today, the Grizzlies have clearly increased their vigilance."
On the commentary stage, .T’s three live treasures are ready. The Grizzlies are the most watched team. T naturally sent their most popular commentator team to explain the Grizzlies game.
On the court, a reporter also found Link and asked questions about Link and Cuban.
But Link, who has always been full of sorrows, declined the interview this time. He shook his head at the reporter and immediately returned to the warm-up.
People expected Link and Cuban to have a beautiful fight of words, but this expectation has now completely failed.
The whole grizzly bear feels very tight.
Everything seems to be back in 2011, back to the scene of the Western Conference Finals. As a challenger, the Grizzlies are preparing for battle carefully.
But this is only the first round of the playoffs, not the Western Conference Finals.
Even Cuban was surprised. He had already prepared several kinds of excuses to spray Link back and forth, but he didn't expect the Grizzlies to be really cautious.
Is it difficult, are they really scared?
The performance of the Grizzlies before the game makes people think about it. Every team has a nemesis. Maybe this 74-win Grizzlies nemesis is the Dallas Mavericks?
Finally, at 8 pm, the referee ended the painful waiting of the fans.
He tossed the basketball high, and the arms of veteran Haitian center Dalembert and Gasol intertwined.
Mavericks, the starter is really old. Starting center Dalem Porter will be 33 years old in half a month, and starting power forward Nowitzki is 36 years old. Small forward "Hacker" Marion is 36 years old, and point guard Jose Calderon is 33 years old. Monta Ellis, the youngest, is also 29 years old.
On the age of the starting lineup, the Mavericks are actually older than the Spurs!
is always the Mavericks' disadvantage, but it is also their advantage.
All of them have rich experience in competitions. Dalem Porter played 4 playoff games before this year, and Monta Ellis was even a participant in the Warriors Black Eight Mavericks. Nowitzki and others need not say much, their experience in 2011 is a wealth that cannot be bought with money.
After the Grizzlies competed for the first possession, the Mavericks began to retreat very steadily. Playing the playoffs is as common as eating and sleeping for those guys.
Conley took possession of the ball after halftime, Iguodala came out to catch the ball, and then broke through with a screen.
Sure enough, Nowitzki immediately made up his defense, he did not let Iguodala break through Ellis easily.
Ellis' physique is definitely not enough to hold Iguodala, so the Mavericks have already responded to this.
Don't forget, in addition to the players, the Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle is also a coach who has been underestimated. His control of the game and the formulation of the game plan are definitely the top presence in the league. In addition to slightly weaker on-site command, Carlisle has almost no shortcomings, both offensive and defensive.
If you didn't prepare in advance, Iguodala would definitely be caught off guard by such a situation. After all, in the regular season, Iguodala is definitely impossible to enjoy the double-teaming treatment.
A player who has never been double-teamed suddenly faces a tough double-team, and he must be somewhat stunned.
But Iguodala didn't. The moment he doubled up Nowitzki, he calmly pierced the basketball through Randolph!
For this possible situation, the Grizzlies have rehearsed countless times in the past two days! Iguodala knew what to do next without thinking too much.
After Randolph got the basketball, Dalembert hurriedly jumped on it. That's a fat guy who can score 19 points in a single quarter on the Heat's head. Letting him go will pay a heavy price.
Randolph is not in a hurry to shoot, nor to deal with the ball. But like an old man who goes to the court to exercise, he passes the ball to the back very casually.
Link got rid of Marion like lightning and cut up. After receiving the basketball, he strode two steps directly into the basket!
Marion has just been entangled with Link on the perimeter for a long time. I have to admit that Marion’s defensive skills are very good. In the intensity of the playoffs, even Link wants to get rid of Marion's entanglement is not easy.
But Marion's athletic ability has always been seriously degraded. When Link flashed out of space, Marion had no chance to catch up.
These two excellent passes completely cut the Mavericks defense. Carlisle couldn't help clenching his fists. He could see that the Grizzlies came prepared!
They are not complacent because they have achieved 74 wins in the regular season. This group of guys knows exactly what they want!
Dallas people thought they would face a lax, arrogant and flawed defending champion~EbookFREE.me~ But in fact, it's the opposite!
After receiving the basketball, Link slammed into the air like a helicopter!
Marion, Dalembert, and Nowitzki can only look up. They can't work in the air now.
"Boom!"
Link slammed the basketball into the frame with a strong wave of his left arm! As soon as the playoffs started, Link used a powerful one-handed stab to give the Grizzlies a good start.
"Nice offense, the Grizzlies were in danger, and they found a scoring opportunity patiently! Indeed, yesterday, 4 higher ranked teams were counterattacked. But don’t forget, the Memphis Grizzlies are unique. They are different from all other teams, what happened to other teams may not necessarily happen to them!"
Hubie Brown saw Link being so serious at first, and he was really worried about the game. But now, after the Grizzlies played such a brilliant offense, Hubby Brown is relieved.
The Grizzlies were so serious before the game, not because they were afraid of losing, but because they were afraid that they were not beautiful enough to win!
After the goal, Link screamed at the stands. He just wants to destroy the Mavericks now, instead of fighting with Cuban.
Rubbish? There will be, but that's after the Grizzlies cleanly killed the Mavericks.
Leading second place, 12 wins in the league, refused to roll over!
