Chapter 691. 691. The start of the upset in the first round of the playoffs
The first thing to start is the opening game of the playoffs between the Warriors and the Mavericks. Everyone is paying attention to this game and wants to know whether the Warriors can maintain their dominance in the regular season in the playoffs. The Mavericks are also a playoff team. It is a very good touchstone. Although the Mavericks basically have no possibility of black eight, but their strength is not bad, you can test the gold content of the Warriors' second record in history this year.
To the disappointment of many people and to the excitement of many people, the Warriors continued their invincible dominance in the regular season against the Mavericks, blasting out an absolute advantage of 112 to 85 in the first game.
"Wow, the Warriors are very good. We are going to have a difficult time in the Western Conference Finals." After watching half the game, Liu Ren felt that the Warriors were only stronger than the regular season, and said worriedly and excitedly.
"Why can't 183 masked men enter the Western Conference Finals? I am more looking forward to playing against the Clippers. We have never played against the Western Conference Finals. The Thunder are also very likely. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Warriors also have advantages in some aspects "Kobe has a different opinion.
Kobe is really bad at learning. As long as he mentions things related to basketball, every sentence will be stalked, but he himself doesn't know that he is bad at learning.
However, what Kobe said is not a big problem. The Clippers and Thunder also have the strength to beat the Warriors, but...Liu Ren feels that they are still a bit worse than the Warriors. The Warriors have a better mentality than these two teams. .
The Warriors easily slaughtered the Mavericks without much surprise, and people's attention to the rest of today's four games is all on the Grizzlies and Spurs who have played three times in the playoffs since 2010.
The confrontation between these two teams is indeed very attractive. The black and white bears will face the six Spurs stars. This matchup is bound to be very exciting.
However, the boss of one team's attention was not on this, but on the series of the fifth in the East playing the fourth in the East that started at the same time as the game.
James has never prayed for another team that they must win, but today began to pray.
James is very eagerly looking forward to the Hawks can upset the Celtics.
In terms of ranking, the Celtics are not as good as the Eagles, but in terms of record, the Celtics are undoubtedly far behind the Eagles. The Celtics are much better than the Eagles.
The Eagles used to be the most successful team imitating the Spurs. They won 60 wins last season.
But the boom and bust is about the eagles, they climbed to the peak they can climb now, and then suddenly returned to the original, even worse than the original.
The Celtics are strong and have a deep lineup. The Eagles are aging and injuries are beginning to increase. Although Bazemore, a talented young forward and swingman, can't stop the degradation of their outside core Teague. And shooting guard Sefolosha's aging.
It is really too difficult for James to expect the Hawks to beat the Celtics. Maybe the Hawks can beat the Celtics once or twice in a series, but the Hawks are really not the opponents of the Celtics. Fourth, but they didn't even have home court advantage against the Celtics. It can be said that they were abused in all directions.
Although the Eagles have been anxious for a while with the Celtics in the fourth quarter, the biggest shortcoming of the Eagles is that they do not have a player with a certain top technical ability, while the Celtics have, Sullinger, the flexible and fat man, is like Dior of the Spurs a few years ago. He played at a critical moment and led the Celtics to play a wave of very different offenses, defeating the Eagles in one fell swoop.
LeBron bulged his cheeks bigger than that of the Knicks' cheeky man. This rhythm is going to play the Celtics again in the second round.
To say that the team that the Eastern Cavaliers are most afraid of is not the Knicks, but the Celtics!
Every time the Celtics saw him, it was the same as seeing him kill his father and enemy. Every time he resorted to the strategy of injuring the enemy eight hundred and self-defeating one thousand, the team that couldn't beat him would desperately cripple him.
Why were the Cavaliers so tragic in the playoffs last year, helping the NBA set the record for the highest income for a single team in the playoffs?Isn't it because the Cavaliers beat the Celtics in the first round and the Celtics' self-mutilation style of play made the Cavaliers reimburse several people for the season.
James said it was very uncomfortable, why is the Celtics lingering?
……
……
The first day of the game was generally as expected. The Warriors abused the Mavericks lightly. The Celtics played against the Hawks without pressure. The two teams played the game with the lowest point difference in the first round, defeating the Grizzlies 88 to 82 to win the first playoff victory with difficulty.
Everything is as expected, which can't help but feel a little boring, with no sense of surprise at all.
But surprises are not surprises when they happen in your expectation.
The real surprises are the ones that pop up just when you've completely let go of your expectations and are ready to accept that things will go on and end normally.
On April 4th, the second game day of the playoffs, the Lakers first played against the Trail Blazers at home.
Still as plain as water, Liu Ren took the lead to step up and take the ball. He didn't play like in the regular season. The first game broke out fiercely. He scored 11 of 8 in the first quarter and scored 22 points in a single quarter. The Blazers are all confused, this is so unconventional!The difference between the playoffs in this playoffs and the regular season is simply too great!
In fact, this is also the first time the Trail Blazers have met the Lakers in the playoffs in recent years. If it is the Spurs, Clippers, and Warriors, the teams that have played directly against the Lakers in the past two years, you will know that this is the best team. The real style of play of the Lakers is that all other players serve as a foil, that is, Liu Ren takes the ball to attack, and the others just run around to grab rebounds.
This style of play is purely based on the player's personal ability. If he hadn't faced a team with Liu Ren's absolute matchup advantage, D'Antoni would not have played like this.
Of course, if Liu Ren has an absolute matchup advantage, then the game will be easy, and the energy of the others can also be saved for the next two rounds of games with powerful opponents.
The Lakers easily defeated the Trail Blazers without much effort. Lillard scored 36 points, but he took 30 shots and was defended miserably by Liu Ren. Without the help of Aldridge, he had nothing to do with Liu Ren room for resistance.
106 to 90, Liu Ren scored 44 points, leading the Lakers to defeat the Trail Blazers without any suspense.
When the fans saw this, they already had no hope for the first round of this year. It can be described as nothing to watch. The exciting series they were looking forward to were the Clippers against the Thunder and the Spurs against the Grizzlies. Intense and intense, other games are as predicted before the game...boring...
but……
Surprises often come so suddenly. After seeing the perfect dominance of the Lakers in the playoffs last season, people just lost their desire to watch most of the first round series. After all, both teams were swept by each other in the regular season this year.
However, what is bound to happen in this world, the earth is round, and the outcome of the event can only be determined at the moment when it happens.
Just when people didn't expect the Cavaliers to meet the Celtics before the game, the Pacers reversed the Cavaliers in the first round of the playoffs in Cleveland and won the first playoff victory!
Immediately afterwards, the Hornets upset the Raptors in Toronto in Game [-] of the first round!
Two consecutive downs and downs, this time the Clippers and the Thunder, which should have been the focus of attention, no one paid attention to in an instant...
