Chapter 282: First day

The score of the two sides was finally fixed at 110:85. The Lakers easily defeated the young Houston Rockets in the first playoff game with a huge advantage of 25 points.
The Rockets were targeted and suppressed by the Lakers. Mike Brown as the best coach, the playoffs have a very defensive layout.
Of course, the lack of overall Rockets player strength is the fundamental reason for losing.
Even Harden, their top player, is only 23 years old after all, and the others are younger.
Delfino and Garcia two veterans played well, but they can only play an embellishment role.
The regular season Rockets depended on the speed of survival and the three-pointers, none of them hit.
Jeremy Lin and Parsons, two young men, scored a total of 6 points. Jeremy Lin made 1 of 7 shots and missed a 3-pointer.
The tension in the playoffs still needs to adapt.
Of course, some people do not need to adapt, or that he has already adapted.
As soon as the buzzer of the game sounded, Li Liang was about to leave when he got up, but was stopped by the reporter on the sidelines for interview.
Tonight Li Liang made 4 of 7 3-pointers, scoring 19 points and 10 rebounds in double-doubles.
His three consecutive points in the third quarter gave the Rockets a sudden death.
"Today is your first playoff game and you have played very well. It seems that you have never been stage fright?" the reporter asked.
"Uh, yes, many people are stage fright because they are afraid of losing, and I have never been afraid of losing. I just want to win. The playoffs are also basketball games. Although this is the first time, I think I am playing normally." Li Liang secretly pretended.
You don’t know how many playoff games you have played in the system.
"How do you evaluate the performance of teammates tonight, Kobe, Nash, Howard, today you played very team."
Kobe Bryant scored the highest tonight, and only scored 20 points, he restrained his shot.
"They played well, but I think there is still room for improvement." Li Liang started pointing Jiangshan.
After talking blindly to the reporter, Li Liang returned to the dressing room.
More people were interviewed in the locker room, and the Lakers locker room was almost full.
As soon as Li Liang came in, the reporters came around like flies smelling shit.
Sitting in front of the locker, Li Liang simply answered a few questions and went to take a shower.
In the parking lot, Wei Dazhi had several people waiting for him in the car.
Today is Li Liang’s first playoff game. Of course, three people will come to watch.
As soon as he got on the train, Wei Dazhi took out his recording pen and asked, "Will Comrade Bruce Lee, for your first playoff performance, how many points did you score? Out of 100."
Li Liangdao: "I...Can you put away the recording pen, how can you leave traces when you talk and do things, turn them off?"
Wei Dazhi had to turn off the recorder, Li Liang always paid great attention to his privacy, even if Wei Dazhi, there would not be any audio and video records of Li Liang in his hand.
"Cough, I'll probably give myself 60 points, barely pass." Li Liang's performance was 60 points, and he thought so.
I thought that the playoffs would be a little bit fierce, difficult to divide, and give full play to the energy.
Anyone knows that the Rockets can't help but play, I haven't tried hard, and you fell.
"Huh, you bragging, desperately saying that you are not working hard." Bai Xiaoting sitting in the driver's seat did not forget to make up the knife.
"Who is bragging, the Rockets can't help but you see Kobe only scored 20 points. You said Kobe didn't work hard, or was he only capable of 20 points?"
Bai Xiaoting couldn't answer these words. As Ke Mi, he certainly couldn't admit that Kobe's ability was poor.
Besides, Kobe's ability is indeed not bad, he just is powerless.
Several people clamored on the road again. In short, the first game of the playoffs passed.
Of course, Li Liang will not be proud, because he knows that the playoffs are definitely more difficult than this one.
Even if it is the Rockets, it is unlikely to want to win them so easily.
Rabbits bite when they are anxious, not to mention beards?
...
On the same day as the Lakers, there were also the Spurs against the Grizzlies, the Bulls against the Nets, and the Knicks against the Celtics.
The Spurs beat the Grizzlies with a 99:87, 12-point advantage at home.
Since the Spurs were blackened by the Grizzlies in 2011, the Spurs met the Grizzlies and saw the hammer once.
When playing against other teams in the majestic black and white double bears, facing Duncan and Split in transition, they were basically beaten to life and could not take care of themselves.
In the 2011-2012 season, the Spurs shaved the Grizzlies bald head, 4-0, three of which were all suspenseless wins with 10 points or more.
The Grizzlies are stronger this season, with both sides opening in the regular season with five to five draws.
But in the two games the Spurs lost, one lost 2 points, and one lost in overtime.
Fully explain that the old men of the Spurs are still very vengeful. In the face of the Grizzlies, they are all out to attack you.
In the playoffs, the Spurs will be more merciless.
The Grizzlies' so-called inside advantage is no longer an advantage in front of the Spurs.
As for the two towers, it is Popovich who plays the rest.
The Grizzlies play defensive basketball, overall basketball, these are the past Spurs routines.
The problem is, the Spurs have Duncan, Ginobili, and the Grizzlies only Randolph, the outside line does not have a sharp knife.
There is no outside sharp-pointed knife, no unsolved mid-range killer, how do you fight the Spurs.
After all, this is not the lame spurs of 2011, the regular season scenery, but the playoffs are still the same old style.
But Duncan's state was not as good as before, and if he couldn't attack or defend, he was hacked.
Now that the Spurs have been reformed, Duncan has lost weight, his leg injury has improved, and he is focused on defense and coping. The Spurs' wing has gone Jefferson, ushering in fresh blood, Split has grown and the overall has been greatly strengthened.
Although the Grizzlies are good, how can they be the opponents of the old Spurs.
Now they got the chance to report their revenge in 2011, and they even went to death.
In two games in the east, the Knicks defeated the Celtics at home.
Cameron Anthony continued the good form of the regular season, scoring 36 points in a single game to help the team win.
The Knicks have had a good run-in this season, but unfortunately too many veterans have suffered more serious injuries than the Lakers.
So in the first half of the season, they can still hold the Heat and rank first in the East.
In the second half, the Heat started to force, the Knicks injury increased to fall behind, but in the end to enter the playoffs with the second closing in the east.
And the Celtics, another old man team, after returning to light last season, with Rondo's reimbursement, completely closed.
41 wins and 40 losses is the season with the lowest win rate since the formation of the Big Three in 2008.
Last season's shrinking season, the Celtics have won 39 wins.
This season only won two more games and lost more than a dozen games.
The hero is late and the beauty is white-headed. This is especially eye-catching when he is over 30 years old.
The day when the Hulk fell is not far away.
In the other series, the Nets and the Bulls, the Nets playing at home are all soldiers, multi-faceted, and scored in double figures with 6 points.
Deron Williams scored 22 points and 7 assists.
Han Evans, their inside rebounder, grabbed 13 rebounds.
Last season was the No. 1 Bull in the East. After Ross reimbursed, he still stubbornly hit No. 5 in the East.
Thibodeau's defense is still tough and hard, but without Ross, the Bulls have only a strong body and no horns.
This round of the series is destined to be very intense.
On April 21, the second match day of the playoffs, there were four more rounds.
The West is the Thunder VS Warriors, the Clippers VS the Nuggets, the East is the Heat vs. Bucks, the Pacers vs. the Eagles.
The Thunder ranked second in the West and seventh in the Warriors. It seems that the gap is not small, but the first match between the two sides was unexpectedly motivating.
The Thunder, led by Durant and Westbrook, took advantage of the tough defense and double attack.
Durant was in excellent condition. Westbrook even shot in a row. Westbrook was extremely calm in the playoffs and sent consecutive assists.
In the first half, the Thunder had a 15-point lead, and the Warriors didn't seem to adapt to the playoff intensity.
However, in the third quarter, Curry and Barnes fired two outside shots suddenly, and the two men made a series of three points. In less than five minutes, the 15 points difference was smoothed out!
Among them, Curry hit 4 three-pointers and shot directly after a pick-and-roll.
Mid-range shots are equally accurate, and Westbrook's defense is useless.
Everyone thought the Thunder would be a one-sided victory, and the Warriors took the lead in the fourth quarter.
However, Klay Thompson feels too bad on the Warriors. The key three-pointer missed.
Durant took the opportunity and hit 2+1 in the counterattack, the Thunder overtook the score.
Then Westbrook defended Curry's breakthrough and took the ball to kill the layup and succeeded. The Thunder stabilized the situation.
In the end, Curry missed a quick 3-pointer from the outside and the Warriors 118:121. The 3-point disadvantage unfortunately lost the game.
Curry scored 33 points in his playoff debut!
The last player to make such a beautiful playoff debut was Chris Paul, who scored 35 points, 10 assists and 4 steals in the first playoff game against the Lone Ranger in 2008, leading the team to defeat the Lone Ranger team.
It was Jason Kidd who played against him at the time.
This game caused quite a stir, and the Warriors and Curry showed great potential to people.
In this round of series, they are destined not to be slain.
Thunder wants to cross the Warriors, for fear that it will take a lot of energy.
Another game in the West, the Clippers and the Nuggets, also played very fiercely.
The battle between four or five people has never been the worst in the first round.
At the Staples Center, the Clippers defeated the Nuggets with two points overtime, 122:115, and a 7-point advantage.
The Nuggets hit the back, the players foul too much, the main force will basically be fined.
The Clippers won this in one fell swoop~EbookFREE.me~ led by 1:0.
If the Clippers and the Lakers both advance in the first round, it will produce the first NBA Derby in the history of the NBA.
This is undoubtedly good news for the Lakers, which means they don’t have to leave Los Angeles.
It's definitely bad news for the Clippers because they will only have an away game in the second round.
There was not much suspense in the two games in the east. The Heat took the Bucks at 110:87.
Brandon Jennings threatened to beat the Heat before the series and was rubbed against the ground in the first game.
James told Jennings, who is the real king.
The Pacers also defeated the Hawks at home and won the first game.
After the game day on the 22nd passed, on the 23rd, the second game of the Huohu Wars opened.
