The Clippers were the first team to qualify in the first round of the Western Conference, while the other three series were playing extremely anxiously.

The first to end was the Trail Blazers vs. Rockets game, which ended with the Trail Blazers winning 4-2 to become the second team in the West to advance to the second round.

Aldridge is at the peak of his career, averaging 29.8 points per game in the Ade series, a big double-double of 11.2 boards, and a performance close to 30+10 that could almost put Lokomotiv in competition for the league's strongest No. 4 spot.

Allen was brutally beaten, and his playing time was also quite limited, and in the face of a strong but stable range No. 4 position like Ade, the weaknesses of Space Yi on the defensive end were exposed.

Another disappointing player for the Rockets is Jeremy Lin, who has been reduced to 29.3 minutes per game due to overlapping positions with Harden and has only contributed 11.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists.

Of course, there is something worse than him, that is Patrick Beverley, who is still playing more time per game than Jeremy Lin, can reach 33.7 minutes, but can only score 8.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and the shooting rate is only about 38%, which is simply a cancer of the team.

However, since we talk about black shells, we must talk about defense.

As the No. 1 position, Beverley's No. 1 position for the Trail Blazers is naturally Lillard, so how did ROY perform last season?

He averaged 44.7 minutes per game, shooting 46.7% from the field, including a terrifying 48.9% from three-point range, and also averaged 25.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 6.7 assists per game.

In other words, Lillard single-handedly took all the No. 1 positions of the Rockets.

Of course, the most responsible for the Rockets' loss is James Harden, who has done his best to contribute an average of 26+13.7 sparks per game, and as the central axis of the interior line, Warcraft has done his duty.

James Harden, although slightly better on the defensive end than in the regular season, is used to writing wheels in the Uchiha family, and sometimes the body reaction is a slow beat.

On the offensive end, Hakishi is averaging the second-highest 26.8 points per game, but he's shooting just 37.6 percent from the field.

Well, Uchiha Deng's shooting percentage should always be calculated as a true shooting percentage, counting the average number of free throws per game, Harden's true shooting percentage is still over 5 percent.

No way, Harden is the leader, from the perspective of the data of the series, Harden is not too bad, but as a leader, if he can't lead the team to advance, then he should be criticized.

The Trail Blazers, as the only team to have beaten the Clippers twice this season, were able to meet the Clippers again in the second round of the playoffs, which naturally made the Western Conference Finals full of conversation.

However, before that, in the second half of the West, in the first round of the series, the two groups of teams actually had a tie-break at the same time.

Let's take a look at the Spurs vs Grizzlies game first.

The Grizzlies' problem is certainly not on the defensive end, and the reason why they can't win the battle every time they encounter a strong opponent can only be a lack of offensive talent.

In the 13-14 season, Grizzlies management finally understood the importance of offensive and defensive balance, which is why they signed Courtney Lee and Mike Miller in the summer to increase the team's offensive talent.

Sadly, they were up against a stronger San Antonio Spurs on both ends of the floor.

Interestingly, all three of them are averaging around 18 points per game, with Parker slightly more, followed by Ginobili and Duncan.

On the Grizzlies side, only the black and white bears on the inside have reached this level, and Mike Conley, Tony Allen, and Courtney Lee are still slightly inferior in stats.

It should be pointed out that Zach Randolph's statistics are once again small to Dund's, and with the strong performance of the Grizzlies in recent years, Randolph's reputation in the league has gradually reversed, but no matter what, the team failed to win the opponent in the end, and he has never been praised and recognized by the mainstream media.

A player like Randolph, who has averaged 20+10 per game in the season many times in his career, but has only been an All-Star substitute twice, is indeed seriously underrated.

If you have to find a reason why the Grizzlies lost to their opponents, it can only be that Tyshawn Prince is old, the former Pistons No. 3 has come to the end of his career, averaging 16.1 minutes per game in the series, but only scoring 3.0 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 0.9 assists.

Objectively speaking, if Guy had remained with the Grizzlies, maybe the series would have ended very differently!

Here, the Spurs entered the second round with a thrilling tie-break, and the Thunder finally killed the Warriors and successfully advanced to the second round.

Westbrook, who returned from injury, looked unstoppable, shooting only 38.6% from the field, but with free throws, his true shooting percentage was still over 50%.

Wei Shao, who averaged 25.6 points per game, and Durant, who averaged nearly 30 points per game, constituted the most stable output point of the Thunder on the offensive end.

The Warriors' output is also on the outside, and the Splash Brothers, who are on the way to practice, are averaging 25.4 and 20.8 points per game, respectively.

If it weren't for the Warriors' role players, maybe the game wouldn't have dragged on to a tiebreaker.

The strengths and weaknesses of the Thunder are equally obvious, except for the second less, they always lack a third player who can stand up and stabilize the morale of the army.

Ibaka's offensive talent is really limited, and Reggie Jackson is still more than a step behind Harden.

In this way, the two teams that advance in the bottom half of the West are decided, and the Spurs and Thunder will meet again to compete for the Western Conference finals.

The results of the first round of the contest on the eastern side were also drawn one by one.

The Heat, as the only team in the league to sweep their opponents in the first round, eliminated Charlotte Bobcats in the fastest time and became the first team to advance to the second round of the Eastern Conference, waiting for another opponent in the bottom half of the conference to appear.

The second team to advance to the second round was the Washington Wizards in the top half, who defeated the Chicago Bulls with a total score of 4-1 to advance to the next round.

As in the West, the East also has two teams in the tie-break.

The Pacers and Hawks were in the top half of the game, and the rebuilding Hawks looked extremely strong, and they almost finished the black eight in the final moments to crush the tough Pacers in one fell swoop.

The inside combination of Griffin and Millsap gave Atlanta fans hope for a resurgence and Teague and Korver were equally impressive.

Tony Ressler is starting to make his debut at Philips Arena, and at least his rebuilding efforts have been fruitful during this time.

The reason why the top spot in the East is in a hard battle is entirely due to the rapid decline of starting center Roy Hibbert and directly becoming "Gao Yuanyuan".

Hibbert, who can only score 5.3+3.7 per game in the series, is like Hei Yao, who can score 20+10 against the Heat last season.

Why did the man who blew up Bosh get to this point?

Is it that after playing a threesome with pickled peppers, there was a conflict, so he gave up on himself?

Or did the team management abandon the old captain Danny Granger, causing Hibbert to be very unhappy and play negatively?

Or is it simply the Pacers coaching staff, forcing him to gain weight, only to make him lose his dominance?

In any case, judging from Yuanyuan's current performance, the former "Black Yao Ming" is now really in the Black Yao Name!

In the bottom half of the East, the other team to win in the tie-break is the Brooklyn Nets, who narrowly missed the G7 by one point and did not let the luxury team fall in the first round of the playoffs.

They are also one of the few teams in the series to play small grams.

If it weren't for his strong performances in the final quarter on several occasions, the Nets might have been killed by the rising Torontonians.

No one is talking about the possibility of the Nets reaching the Finals and the Clippers competing for a championship, and as things stand, they are almost certainly not going to get past the Heat.

Turning back to the west, after the first round, the fierce battle of this round also began.

The Trail Blazers were confident heading into the series, believing that if they were able to beat the unbeatable Clippers twice in the regular season, they would have a chance of beating their opponents in the playoffs.

On May 9, 2014, the Clippers welcomed the challenge of the Trail Blazers at home, and the Clippers played a suffocating defense from the beginning of the first quarter of the game.

In the case of only allowing the opponent to score 16 points in a single quarter, with a disparity of 16:33, the lead of the opponent reached 17 points.

This almost declared G1 garbage time in the first quarter.

Ade was completely blown up by Erniu, and opposite the locomotive in a single quarter with 3 shots and 0, it was Ruan Erniu who slashed 13 points, 11 rebounds and two double-doubles in the first quarter.

The bull, who lost twice in the regular season, finally showed the true identity of the bull demon king in the playoffs.

But Aldridge, who killed all sides in the first round, couldn't find the rhythm of the game at all in front of the brute.

In other words, not only did he not find a cheap spot on Erniu, but even the Clippers bench Dream Chase Green defended Ard to a losslessness.

Strength and weakness are such things as only through comparison.

In the face of Yi Jianlian and Terrence Jones, Ade is naturally a peerless god soldier who blocks and kills, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, but when the people who defend him become Erniu and Green, he immediately encountered Waterloo on the offensive end.

In the following three quarters, the Trail Blazers also wanted to launch a counterattack more than once, but in the end they were pressed down by the powerful Clippers.

1:0, the Los Angeles Clippers took the lead in winning the first game.

G2 continued in Los Angeles at a similar pace as the previous game, with the Clippers establishing a 15+ or more lead in the first quarter, and the slow-burning Trail Blazers struggled to catch up after that, but it wasn't until the final quarter that they found that the score was not shrinking, but continuing to expand.

Aldridge had his worst game since the playoffs, shooting just 6-of-23 from the field for an incomprehensible 26.1 percent, and four free throws to score a total of 16 points.

Every time he plays a tough game, Ade is always questioned, because his performance at key moments really can't be seen as the leader of a team striving to win the championship.

There are specific reasons for Ade's rise, and physical talent naturally comes first, but the injuries of Roy and Oden actually invisibly gave Ade more ball.

But that doesn't mean he's really a great team leader!

At 2:0, the Clippers went to the next city and successfully won the G2 in the second round.

The G3 teams will move to Portland for the game.

Before the game, everyone was pinching the Trail Blazers' bottoming out, and even the Clippers, who had just won two home games, looked quite low-key before the game.

But when it was game time, the course of the game in the first quarter returned to its original trajectory again, and the Clippers once again played a strong attack wave in the first quarter, instantly widening the score gap to double digits.

Many Portland fans left the stadium at half-time, and they were extremely disappointed by the poor performance of the home team, which is not the mentality of a team that wants to qualify for the Western Conference finals.

Also unhappy is the owner of the Trail Blazers, Paul Allen, who was the richest man in the NBA before Erniu's fortune was announced.

This dude's famous quote is: "If I were a little more stingy, the richest man in the world would have nothing to do with Bill (Gates)!"

He was a co-founder of Microsoft, but eventually parted ways with Gates. Although suffering from lymphoma, Allen can still be called a winner in life.

Allen, who was watching the game at the scene, almost watched Ruan Erniu lead the team to force the Trailblazers into the abyss step by step.

In particular, a few times when he ate Ade's back and beat him strongly, almost in an unreasonable way, extinguished the last glimmer of hope of the Blazers.

3:0, in Allen Tieqing's expression, the Clippers successfully got the second-round match point.

Unlike the Mavericks, who rebounded strongly and were reluctant to give up, the Clippers played more easily in the second round, and the young Trail Blazers were indeed not a resilient team.

After the end of G3, the two teams will have a two-day rest before playing G4.

In the final battle, the pioneers who fought for dignity finally burst into full potential.

Changing the decline of the previous games, the Trail Blazers played extremely proactive in the first quarter, although Ard did not get too much cheap on Erniu, but the performance of 5 shots and 3 in a single quarter still proved that the locomotive ushered in a recovery.

At 24:29, this was actually the first time the Trail Blazers had taken a single-quarter lead in the series.

In the second quarter rotation, the Clippers' Ray Allen stepped up, and with his wave of three-pointers, the Clippers quickly overtook the score.

By halftime, the score had reached 56:50, and the Clippers had a six-point lead.

The Trail Blazers, who entered the third quarter, exploded again, and this time, Lillard, Aldridge, Batum, and Robin Lopez exploded at the same time to open the score again.

At 82:85, the Trail Blazers played a convincing game and overtook the score again.

In the crucial fourth quarter, the scores alternated, and the Clippers didn't have until the final minute that Leonard hit a game-winning three-pointer and ended the series.

4:0, the Los Angeles Clippers completed the opponent and became the first team to advance to the Western Conference finals.

Ruan Erniu finished out the 20+9 Aldridge with an average performance of 40+20 per game.
