This year's playoffs have been decided.

After playing all the regular season games on April 12 and resting for two days, the playoffs officially began on April 15.

The opponent of the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round should be the Oklahoma City Thunder, who finished seventh in the regular season.

In fact, the Thunder became the opponent of the Lakers, and there was also a lot of drama.

Even this suspense was officially revealed last night.

The three teams of the Thunder, the Trail Blazers and the Grizzlies, around who is not the seventh place in the Western Conference, is simply a bloody "war", which really makes fans feel like watching a big show.

As the third place in last year's regular season, this year's Oklahoma City Thunder is a bloody mold.

Not only did they lose their biggest superstar Kevin Durant, but they were also firmly pressed into the seventh place, and they had to play the Los Angeles Lakers who regained Shen Huan in the first round.

It's not like the Thunder haven't struggled.

At the end of the season, with a dozen games remaining, they desperately lost in the hope that they could fall to eighth place, and the hope of playing the Golden State Warriors was better than that of the Los Angeles Lakers.

As it turned out, the Thunder were naïve.

Who were the eighth-place Portland Trail Blazers behind them?

Last year's opponent in the first round of the Los Angeles Lakers was their Trail Blazers!

In April of last year, the Portland Trail Blazers suffered arguably the most painful defeat in franchise history.

Not only was they swept 4-0 by the Lakers, but more importantly, their players suffered the most painful loss.

Shen Huan's first miracle was created in Ed Davis, a player of the Trail Blazers.

When there was a conflict at that time, Shen Huan grabbed Ed Davis's neck with one hand and lifted him 20 centimeters off the ground with one hand.

Such a miracle is simply astonishing.

You know, Ed Davis is 2.06 meters tall and weighs more than 200 pounds!

What kind of force does it take to lift him off the ground with one hand?!

This video was also one of the most popular videos on YouTube last year, with more than 2 billion views.

It also has a consequence.

When the Portland Trail Blazers clashed with other teams this year, regardless of whether there was anything about Ed Davis or not, someone from the opposing team would inevitably come forward and grab Ed Davis by the neck to pick him up.

This hurt Ed Davis.

He tried his best to resist every time, but he never stopped the NBA players who wanted to imitate Shen Huan.

Ed Davis, whose mind has been traumatized by endless burning, has ended his season early and received psychiatric treatment.

According to the doctors, there is a good chance that he will not be able to return to the ring.

Ed Davis is actually not the main force of the Trail Blazers, but the main force of the Trail Blazers suffered even more painful losses at the hands of Shen Huan.

The main power forward, Al Aminu, was the first to collide with Shen Huan, was knocked away, broke two ribs, and lay in the hospital for 3 months before returning.

The starting center Plumlee wanted to push Shen Huan in the air, but was kicked in the jaw by Shen Huan "unconsciously", causing the jaw bone to be directly shattered, and he missed half a season before returning, and now he still wears a specially customized "iron chin" when he plays.

Rao is so, and Plumlee and El Aminu are also half of the waste.

If it weren't for their star stars this year, Darmion Lillard and C.J. McRoom, they wouldn't have finished eighth.

Tell me, how could the Trail Blazers, who were beaten by Shen Huan to the point of a team about to fall apart, still willing to touch Shen Huan in the first round?

Aren't they afraid that Shen Huan will also beat the leading players?

So the Trail Blazers lost worse than the Thunder at one point, and by the time of the last three games, they were only one game away from the ninth-place Memphis Grizzlies.

At this time, the Thunder and Trail Blazers also won and lost one game, two more than the Grizzlies.

If the Thunder dare to compete with the Trail Blazers in the end, then maybe the Trail Blazers will fall directly to ninth place and top the Memphis Grizzlies.

If the Thunder are not careful, they could even take the Trail Blazers' place to ninth, leaving the Memphis Grizzlies in seventh and the Portland Trail Blazers in eighth.

In any case, the Thunder can't afford to accept that they slipped from seventh to ninth place and can't even play in the playoffs.

No matter how powerful Shen Huan is, he is swept away, can't I bear it?

Therefore, in the final third game, the Thunder won by a wide margin and continued to maintain the suppression of the winning and losing fields.

Seeing that there were only two games left, the Portland Trail Blazers, who had a huge sense of fear in their hearts, lost the penultimate game and the second game directly - that is, they lost again last night.

That leaves the Thunder in seventh, one more win-loss game than the Memphis Grizzlies, and the Portland Trail Blazers, in turn, have two fewer wins than the Memphis Grizzlies.

Now the Trail Blazers are completely out of play.

From the eighth-place team that has the potential to make the playoffs, to the team that doesn't even qualify for the playoffs.

This means that after one more round, they can enjoy up to four or five months off.

In this regard, the Portland Trail Blazers not only did not feel ashamed, but felt relieved.

No longer have to worry about facing Shen Huan, the big demon king, it is definitely a great luck!

If you ask them how many main players they have, except for Damion Lillard and C.J. McCum, none of them dare to play against Shen Huan.

Even these two leading players are also feeling weak in their hearts, for fear that Shen Huan will come and slap his head off - everyone has seen Shen Huan's divine power to smash the basket.

Originally, the Trailblazers had a hatred with Shen Huan, and Shen Huan was banned, do you dare to guarantee that Shen Huan will not be a black hand?

With Shen Huan's current status, even if he is a black hand, will the alliance dare to pursue it?

The league wants to pursue it, will the fans agree?

Isn't he the only one who suffers in silence, like Ed Davis, Al Aminu, and Plumlee?

Anyway, Shen Huan only plays in the playoffs for such a season, and he won't play NBA games for a long time, so why should I fight with Shen Huan?

Why lose the opportunity to make a lot of money in the NBA for a playoffs?

After figuring this out, the two bosses of the Trail Blazers figured it out like the rest of the players, and they didn't care if the team was disgracefully ranked ninth.

But in this way, the Thunder team is completely stupid.

With one game remaining, they have one more game to beat the Memphis Grizzlies, and even if they lose, it will depend on whether the Memphis Grizzlies are willing to move up to seventh place.

If the Memphis Grizzlies don't want to play the Lakers, then it's so easy for them to lose and just go all the bench.

In the NBA, there is no such thing as fair play, everything is for the championship, and strategically giving up some games is what every team does.

If every game had to be contested for victory, the Bulls had two Jordans that year, and there was no way to guarantee two triple championships.

Are the Memphis Grizzlies stupid?

Certainly not stupid!

They lost their last game and won a game against the Trail Blazers, finishing eighth and still making the playoffs.

Why do you have to be so stupid, you have to go to get the seventh place, and then be abused by Shen Huan and nailed to the pillar of shame?

It's the same loss, losing to the Golden State Warriors is always more decent, and there won't be all kinds of accidents, what's wrong?

Their general manager said, "Although it was a rare experience to play against Shen Huan, I think my players are not ready." ”

Eggs!

The Thunder team almost cried when they looked at their shameless looks.

Obviously, we can go further, but you bastards, we're going to be completely finished now!
