One Thousand Seven Hundred and Fifty. A Fierce Battle Between the Two!

On April 19, at 3 pm Eastern Time, the first game of the series between the Hawks and the Pistons, and the Lakers and the Jazz started.

At 5:30 pm, Sun Ce just got home, and the game between the Knicks and the 76ers had already started.

Although being scolded by his mother would affect the family education of little Gohan and two babies, Sun Ce still watched TV while eating dinner, muttering: "What's wrong with this? It's too strict. What if my son follows the rules like a fool?"

This made Sun Ce's father nod repeatedly.

His mother was so angry: "Do you have to change your girlfriend every month in high school like you did?"

"Shh!"

Although it wasn't him, Sun Ce still felt guilty. He looked around and luckily the two girls were not there. After dinner, they went to the cloakroom upstairs to pick out clothes to wear for the first game of the first round tomorrow.

Sun Ce was helpless!

His reputation in high school and college was not very good. Originally, as his reputation in the sports world became higher and higher, in this world where competitive strength is king, he had dominance, and not many people thought that his private life was wrong. No one is perfect. In addition, after he entered the NBA, his private life was generally well-known, and no one mentioned the past.

So, when Lily Collins was in a bad mood, such as when relatives came, she didn't always find fault with this aspect like she did at the beginning.

However, his mother became a time bomb! She exposed his black material at the slightest disagreement!

Especially after the birth of the three grandchildren, the mother completely stood on the same side with Lily Collins... There was no mother-in-law relationship that Sun Ce imagined.

There was no way. The two were foreigners to each other, and they tried their best to consider each other and avoid causing trouble to him, Sun, so he, Sun, was in trouble...

This made Sun Ce sigh that she was indeed his biological mother!

…

In the first match between the 76ers and the Knicks, the 76ers narrowly defeated the Knicks 115-111 in overtime and retained their first home court!

Sun Ce was so excited that he wished he was the one playing on the court.

The playoffs are indeed different! They are even completely different from the "playoffs" games at the end of the regular season.

The first is the pressure of being eliminated if you lose!

Neither the 76ers nor the Knicks worry about not making the playoffs, nor the pressure of competing for the top rankings, because it is difficult.

Then there are the rules. At the end of the regular season, the referees' whistles began to loosen up and began to approach the playoff level, but it was still the regular season.

Under the leadership of David Stern, the referee union made essential differences in the regular season and playoff whistles.

David Stern is well aware of the fans' idea of ​​watching the excitement in the regular season and watching the stars in the playoffs. The playoff rules under his leadership require stars or even superstars to solve the problem.

Dragic's 29 points and 7 assists, Howard's 21 points and 22 rebounds, Evans' 35 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, and Gasol's 17 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, the four stars of the two teams performed extremely well!

But Evans was still better. He scored only 20 points in the first three quarters, behind Dragic's 22 points in the three quarters, but in the last quarter, Evans scored 10 points in a single quarter to help the 76ers drag the game into overtime, and let Dragic only get 7 points in the last quarter. At the same time, in overtime, Evans scored 5 points and shut out Dragic, helping the 76ers to win the game.

In terms of strength, that is, in terms of technology and physical fitness, Sun Ce felt that Evans was not much different from last season when he played against him in the regular season, probably because his talent had been developed to the limit.

It doesn't mean that Evans still has room for improvement before he turns 26. Every player's talent has a limit. Thanks to the support of the 76ers, Evans' strong physical fitness and technical development at the point guard position have reached their limits, and it may have reached their limits after reaching the S-level last season.

Moreover, this S-level may be the weakest among S-level players.

But after reaching the peak of strength, Evans' use of his own strength, game experience, use of basketball IQ... and so on have become more powerful!

It doesn't mean that Evans' strength may be the weakest in the S-level, but he is really weak. Sun Ce feels that he may not be Evans' opponent based on his strength alone. This is already a rare existence in the basketball world! However, he, Sun, has skill bonuses, static physical fitness that Evans cannot match, and comprehensive strength. Sun Ce feels that he is better. Now he has such confidence!

And Rose, who is stronger than Evans this season... Sun Ce feels that he is about to burn!

Although he knew that Evans and Rose would be very powerful after having completely different situations, he did not expect that the two would be so strong.

The Knicks had a better overall lineup and the cooperation was no worse than that of the 76ers, and even the coach was better, but Evans defeated the Knicks with his personal ability with the help of Gasol!

Evans + Gasol are already so strong, and Rose + Griffin, known as the strongest duo in the East... Sun Ce was excited just thinking about it!

Because the 76ers and the Knicks played overtime, the finale of the first game day of the playoffs, the Spurs and the Mavericks, was forced to delay for 11 minutes before starting. After a 100-second advertisement, Time Warner Cable Sports' live broadcast of the game started immediately, and went directly to the jump ball screen.

If the game between the 76ers and the Knicks is a star battle, then the Spurs and the Mavericks are a thorough team offense and defense battle!

Although the record is not as good as the Spurs, the Mavericks playing away are not at all inferior!

Sun Ce clearly felt that the Mavericks did not try their best in the regular season... It should be said that the Mavericks coaching staff deliberately controlled the consumption of their own players. When the players played, they must have tried their best to win. Players like the health-conscious Mamba are still relatively rare.

But in the playoffs, Conley + Ellis + Aminu + Nowitzki + Chandler + Bosh... This core combination is very strong!

Sun Ce even felt that the Mavericks were stronger than they were before their Grizzlies' outside trio improved to the current level! If it was them in the 12-13 season, although they were the champions who successfully defended their titles, they might not really be the opponent of this Mavericks team.

Conley, who has entered his peak after a long growth period, Bosh, who is at his peak, Nowitzki and Ellis are in good shape, Chandler and Aminu are trustworthy defensive gates inside and outside... Sun Ce feels that even if the Mavericks defeat the Spurs, he will not be surprised!

After the first three quarters, the Spurs were still 5 points behind the Mavericks, but in the end, the Spurs had the last laugh in the first game. The Spurs scored 30 to 25 in the last quarter and dragged into overtime. In the end, the Spurs relied on Duncan to score 4 points and 2 assists in 5 minutes of overtime, helping the Spurs to score 10 to 6. The Spurs defeated the Mavericks 114 to 110 and won the first victory in the series.

In this game, what surprised Sun Ce and made him complain was that the highest scorer in the game was Duncan! 28 points in a single game! Plus 11 rebounds and 11 assists! Duncan got his fifth playoff triple-double in his career!

The last time Duncan scored a triple-double in the playoffs was in the 2008 Western Conference Finals against the Lakers. Seven years later, Duncan, who was six days away from turning 39, scored a triple-double again. This span was a bit too much.

After watching the two games, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening. Sun Ce looked at the report of the first two games. The Lakers beat the Jazz 109-91 and the Hawks beat the Pistons 108-98... There was not much to watch in these two games, but the last two games made him feel excited!

…

…

The two exciting battles between the Knicks and the 76ers, the Mavericks and the Spurs, ignited the emotions of the long-awaited fans, and then, two more focus battles were about to begin!

The battle between the Thunder and the Warriors, who seemed to be equally strong but they all felt that they were stronger, was the most powerful duel that fans wanted to see.

Another focus game is the match between the Grizzlies and the Pelicans. Although not many people think that the Pelicans can win, this match is still the most watched game in the first round of all series.

How will the Grizzlies perform in the playoffs?

Another reason why this series is so popular is Irving's bold words, because Irving is really a rare strong player who can stand out in such a harsh control and survival environment in the West. He does have his own unique personal charm.

On the day of the game, the Grizzlies turned on the mode of shielding external interference, refused to accept interviews, and even canceled the interview.

This playoffs is of great significance to the Grizzlies. Maybe they have Sun Ce's time to win the last four years, and they can't miss every year! Especially this season, the luxurious lineup that has spent so much money must eliminate all interference and strive for the championship.

It's not that they feel sorry for the money, but that they may not be able to spend more money in the future, at least before 2016. They are unlikely to keep all the people next season. There is nothing they can do about it.

Also, a 75-win season... can't lose the chain in the first round!

As for whether it will offend the media... They usually do a good job with the help of press officer Chris Kyle, and the playoffs are a time when the winner takes all!

The playoff schedule for each season is probably decided after the All-Star Weekend, and changes will not change the schedule. Only the order of the games on that day will be arranged according to the rankings and after consultation with major TV stations.

Although theoretically, the game between the Grizzlies and the Pelicans is not as intense as the game between the Warriors and the Thunder, more media believe that the game between the Grizzlies and the Pelicans may attract more fans to watch.

So when drawing up the specific game sequence for the 20th, the game between the Grizzlies and the Pelicans became the finale of the day!
