With the regular season over, experts are starting to predict the first-round matchups.

Knicks vs Bucks.

This year, the Bucks' table has been good and bad, beating many strong teams and losing to weak teams like the 76ers. The team's biggest problem is instability and the player's lack of playoff experience. The advantage is athleticism and no injuries. Teams with a lot of rotation players are not prone to injuries.

Experts expect the Knicks to sweep and advance, and the difference in strength between the two teams is huge.

Cavaliers vs Bulls.

Looking at the lineup, the Cavaliers' Big Three plus Martin, Waiters, Thompson, Marion, Vallejo, the lineup is obviously superior. The Bulls started well and were poor off the bench. The two big inside lines, Garros, are the key to victory or defeat. But looking at the regular season table, Rose is no better than Irving.

The Cavaliers starters have never played in the playoffs except for James, and Martin has only played once, which is their biggest concern. If the Bulls want to cause an upset, they mainly rely on defense.

Experts predict 4-1 or 4-2 for the Cavaliers to advance.

Raptors vs Hawks.

Both sides take the route of a reasonable lineup and play team basketball. The Raptors have two All-Stars and are more favored. The Raptors have a better future next season, and Stoudeyer's contract is finally expiring, and the Raptors can free up salary space to bring in a good player, and may also re-sign Stodameyer for a lower price.

The Hawks mainly rely on the interior twin towers and point guard Teague, and the bench is poor, and it is difficult to cause upsets.

Predict 4-1 or 4-2, and the Raptors advance.

Wizards vs Nets.

The strength of the two teams is close and it is the focus of this round. The Wizards have home-court advantage, a good roster configuration, and a young core, and are seen as the team most likely to attract Durant to join.

The Nets have found a way to win lately, and they have stars on the team. Seven games are expected between the two sides, with the Nets having a better chance of winning because they have more playoff experience.

Western matchup, Warriors vs Thunder.

The Warriors managed to get their best record, but they faced the biggest challenge in the first round, and no one wanted to run against the Thunder. Both sides have excellent backcourt stars, interior players who can block and dismantle, and substitutes who can steal points.

Experts are optimistic that the Warriors will advance 4-2, and the Thunder will also have the possibility of an upset, mainly depending on the performance of the two less.

Clippers vs Spurs.

Young stars against twilight stars. The Clippers have the advantage in all positions, and the Spurs are actually the most stable person in Duncan. Most pundits believe that the Clippers will sweep the game, and they are no longer an inexperienced team. They are likely to cause some problems for the Knicks this season.

Rockets vs Mavericks. The Rockets are young, but the impact is not necessarily stronger than the Mavericks, and the backcourt double guns are the Mavericks' winning weapon.

Howard has a clear advantage over Upper Bleche and Durham Porter, and whether he can break the Mavericks' interior is the key to victory. Experts are not very optimistic about the Rockets, even if Harden's regular season schedule is eye-catching. Harden has already given the impression that he made a fool of himself as soon as he made the playoffs.

It is expected that 4-3, the Mavericks will advance.

Trail Blazers VS Grizzlies, a battle of dragons and tigers, with stars inside and outside. The Trail Blazers are slightly worse off the bench and have a younger starter. Matthews has a wealth of experience in the finals.

Look at the starting Trail Blazers have the advantage, and also have home court advantage. The Grizzlies rely on experience and the advantage of the defensive system, and to put it bluntly, they eat their old books. The two sides are expected to play a full seven games, with the Trail Blazers advancing 4-3.

After two days of vacation, Zhou Xuan didn't go anywhere and stayed at home to rest. The team's tactics don't need to be discussed anymore, the run-in is very good, and the final thirteen people are as follows.

Centre-forwards: Al Jefferson, Cole Aldridge.

Power forwards: Chris Bosh, Ryan Anderson, Michael Beasley.

Small forwards: Chandler Parsons, Kyle Anderson, Caron Butler.

Shooting guards: Coy Leonard, Ben Gordon, Wayne Ellington.

Point guards: Zhou Xuan, Bledsoe.

Kyle Anderson hasn't had many chances all season, playing only in garbage time, averaging 3 per game. 2 points.

The good thing is that he and the veterans have learned a lot and have slimmed down over the course of the season to be faster and can play in two positions. In terms of passing, Zhou Xuan also taught him a lot, how to find people, read the information to understand the characteristics of each teammate, and then pass the ball in the system. For a short time, Kyle had 1. Five assists, seven in 36 minutes, a good job.

Because of Kyle's potential, the coaching staff would rather have him as a cameo point guard to grab rebounds and launch a one-pass fast-break than use Marshall. Kyle can also shoot three-pointers and has a height advantage.

Marshall won't stay in the summer, he has been poor on the defensive end and is afraid of confrontation.

On the 19th, the players were ready and full of energy. The forward players work their three-point shots, and they don't need to do much, as long as they can shoot steady three-pointers after the pick-and-roll, they can get more playing time.

Beasley's performance this year also exceeded everyone's expectations, playing only 15 minutes per game, not because he was good, but because he had no complaints, calmly implemented the coach's arrangement, and did not express dissatisfaction with the playing time.

In six years, Beasley's flamboyant personality has been a bit restrained, he doesn't want to be hidden in the playoffs again, and he wants a championship as an important qualification for signing a contract.

On the evening of the 20th, the visiting team's locker room.

Bucks coach Kidd exclaimed: "We've made a lot of progress this season, and we've impressed people with your attitude and toughness, and fans are back looking at us and loving us. Now what we have to do is give it our all. Everybody understands that this series is going to be tough, so don't feel pressured because we've been successful. No matter what it looks like, no one will blame us. Focus, cheer up the spirit, and let the Knicks know that we are not soft persimmons. ”

D'Antoni also boosted morale and shouted sweeping slogans. The Knicks have swept their opponents in the first round of consecutive seasons, and they want to continue that momentum this time around.

The stadium is full of fans, New York has been the hottest ball market in recent years, and the Nets are more like many Knicks fans who can't get tickets and go to the second. Because Anthony can score, the Nets are also very popular, and the New York duo will probably be the top team in the league in the next decade, overshadowing Los Angeles.

The players came out and everyone cheered. Zhou Xuan averaged 20 per game this season. 7 points 1. 8 rebounds and 16. 6 assists 2. 6 steals, the first person in NBA history to score this kind of jù. He's likely to be the regular season MVP for the fifth time, and his popularity has grown, with fans hoping that he can also play supernumerically in the playoffs.

Kobe Bryant's season of 81 points, even if the Lakers' record is only seventh in the league, Kobe Bryant is also third on the MVP list, and there is a group of people clamoring for Kobe to win the MVP. While Zhou Xuan played a record-breaking record, his record was also the first, and almost everyone was his fan.

CCTV5 Su Qun said: "Now the Knicks are the league's No. 1 devil's home court, and the atmosphere is too enthusiastic. And they also look like uniform clothing, because most of them are wearing Knicks jerseys. ”

Yang Jian said: "The camera was given to the sidelines, and Chloe Moretz and Zhou Xuan's parents came to watch the game together, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seemed to be very good." ”

Su Qun said with a smile: "In this series, the Knicks are completely superior, the Bucks are not bad, and Parker is expected to become the best rookie." This rookie was generally favored at the beginning of the season, but at the end of the regular season, there were no good people. The overall efficiency of the players is even lower than last season's rookies, and the experts can't be taken seriously. ”

After the warm-up, the players came out. Knicks five: Zhou Xuan, Leonard, Parsons, Bosh, Jefferson.

Bucks five: Knight, Mayo, Parker, Antetokounmpo, Sanders.

Sanders jumped the ball and the game began.

Antetokounmpo blocked Knight in the middle, and Knight broke through on the right and split the ball back into the middle.

Antetokounmpo is averaging 12 per game this season. 3 points 6. 1 rebound, 2. 1 assist, 0. 7 steals, 0. 7 blocks, this is a player with great potential, the Greek, originally a swing man, after entering the NBA, he grew 5 centimeters, reached a height of 211CM, and began to develop in the direction of a frontcourt player.

Although his shooting ability is average, Antetokounmpo has super athleticism, amazing air cutting speed, catches the ball and enters the basket in one step, and in the face of Jefferson's forced layup, his 221CM arm span helps him create space and score the ball. 0 to 2.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan took the ball to the frontcourt, passed to Parsons on the right, and Bosh ran to the bottom corner of the right side without the ball in the middle, forming a triangle with Jefferson.

Antetokounmpo changed the guard quickly, and Knight defended Bosh in the middle. Parsons hoisted the ball to Jefferson, who was 45 degrees low, and the latter got the chance to single out Saunders.

Sanders' experience is very similar to that of Hanamichi Sakuragi in the manga, he only learned to play basketball in his sophomore year of high school, but he is such a layman who quickly grows into the leader of the team. In his final two seasons of high school, Sanders led the team to back-to-back division championships. HE IS GOOD AT SIDE CAPS, AND HIS ARM SPAN IS MORE EXAGGERATED, 229CM.

Sanders also weighed slightly this season, to 109 kilograms. He relied on his height and reach advantage to interfere with Jefferson's turnaround shot, and the ball was deflected. Parker grabbed the rebound and made a long pass.

The Bucks immediately launched a fast break, Mayo received the ball in the front court and singled out Leonard, stepped into the three-point line to grab a shot, barely dodged the block, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

Kidd looked at him from the sidelines and shook his head. Mayo's ball quotient has a problem, and from entering the league to the present, the shot is still unreasonable, and it can't be changed. This is also a common problem for some players, and there are still people who can't fix their bad problems after playing more than a dozen seasons. For example, Corey Magetti, Stephen Jackson.

Zhou Xuan stuck with Knight, grabbed the rebound, and threw it to the front court alone. There were opportunities on the court, the Bucks had run past halftime on both interior lines, and Jefferson had just gotten out of the three-point line. Watch your opponent shoot and then run back.

Zhou Xuan's pass was accurately sent to Jefferson to form an assist, and Jefferson smashed the ball with one hand. 2 to 2.

Su Qun said with a smile: "You can't fight fast with the Knicks, otherwise the Bucks will definitely not be able to win, Zhou Xuan can often send this kind of ball that doesn't seem to have a good chance to form an assist." ”

"I think the Bucks will stick to the fast break." Yang Jian said: "After all, their two big men are not good at shooting, and they suffer losses in positional battles, and they are not regular power forwards." ”

In the Bucks positional battle, Sanders was let go of the perimeter after the block, Bosh blocked the guard breakthrough with all his might, and after a few legends, Parker singled out Parsons, dribbled with his back to protect the ball, and turned to shoot the basketball. 2 to 4.

The Bucks started well.
