After the game on April 20, there are three games left in the first two games of the first round of the playoffs, and the more interesting of these three games is the matchup between the Spurs and the Kings and the matchup between the Hornets and the Heat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Mavericks are going to the Denver Plateau after the game on the 20th, although the plateau game will have a certain impact on the state of the players, but everyone in the Mavericks has already established the confidence to advance to the next round earlier, and the unprepared Nuggets are actually difficult to put too much pressure on the Mavericks.

On April 21, the remaining three games of the first two home games of the first round of the playoffs officially began.

What is very surprising is that the two games that were originally predicted to be evenly matched were won by large scores, and the games that were originally considered to be no suspense happened quite unexpectedly.

The Pistons were overturned by the Bucks at home, 92-88, and the Pistons carelessly lost Jingzhou.

Bucks star Reed burst out after the debacle of the previous game, hitting four three-pointers for the game against Prince's defense, and the Bucks also stepped up to cover Reed after holding the ball.

The Bucks who opened up the situation on offense and veterans gave a lot of help from the bench. Kukic scored 15 points and 9 rebounds, and it has to be said that the veteran's experience in the playoffs is still very useful.

In addition to the starting five, the Pistons bench did not play well today, and the Pistons bench only gave an 11-point answer in the whole game, which is obviously a failure.

The game between the Pistons and the Bucks was an upset, while the game between the Spurs and the Kings was a sudden slump for the Kings and ended with the Spurs scoring 20 points.

The Spurs' offense this season was originally the bottom team in the league, and winning basically relied on defense, but today they suddenly broke out, Ginobili took the Spurs bench to play wave after wave of offensive climax, on the other hand, the Kings, they seem to have forgotten the feel of shooting, and only hit 4 three-pointers in the whole game, you must know that in Princeton's system, the role of the three-point shooter is very important, without the deterrence of the three-point shooter, the Kings simply cannot play the "back door" Princeton tactics.

In the second game between the Hornets and the Heat, the Hornets only scored 63 points in 48 minutes of the game, and the whole team shot less than 20 percent of the whole game, except for Byron Davis's pitiful 13 points, no Hornets player got double-digit statistics, including rebounds.

In the face of such a Hornets team, the Heat naturally would not keep anyone, 63-93, the Heat slaughtered the Hornets at home by 30 points.

The first two home games of the first round of the playoffs are over, and the strong teams win each group, but there are also no shortage of upsets, the playoffs have just begun, and all the results are still unknown.

On April 22, the Mavericks left Dallas for Denver, and on that day, the East and West playoffs were played separately.

After returning to Memphis at home, the Grizzlies finally found some sense, and although the offense was still not playing well, they played a high-intensity defense at home, which caused some problems for the Lakers.

But the trouble is just the trouble, with O'Neal here, with the old but experienced Malone and Payton here, the Lakers can still rely on the individual ability of the star to crush the opponent, 103-93, the Lakers locked the match point of the first-round series.

In another Eastern Conference matchup, the Nets also locked the match point, 81-78, and although the Nets who crossed the river to New York also encountered problems on offense, the Knicks' chaotic tactical system still could not bring the team a victory.

On Friday, April 23, the Pacers 105-85 also locked up a 3-0 score.

After Artest returned to the lineup, Pierce was invisible again, and the Pacers still relied on a bunch of bench bandits to win the game, and the Celtics had long forgotten about the championship of that year.

In the West, Houston, who returned to their home court, finally won a victory, Francis and Mobley, who were not in good form in the first two games, broke out collectively, Yao Min sat on the inside defense, the Rockets contracted the defense and put the Timberwolves offense in a quagmire, while Francis defended Cassell to the death, and the Timberwolves offense also fell into a single shot.

102-91, the Rockets retained their first home court.

April 24, Pepsi Center Arena, Denver.

Back at home, the Nuggets are finally on the right path, and they put down their bodies and are fighting hard with the Mavericks.

At the beginning of the game, the Nuggets continued to attack the Mavericks inside, although the pace was slow, but through the foul on the spot after losing the rebound, the Nuggets limited the speed of the Mavericks very well.

Although it has been three days since he arrived in Denver, the plateau still has had a certain impact on the state of the Mavericks' players, Nowitzki has been in foul trouble since the beginning of the game and had to leave the game early, and the lack of protection on the inside has made the Mavericks' defense less perfect, and their rebounding protection has also been problematic due to the lack of absolute height.

If it weren't for Liu's brave three-pointer and breakthrough in the first quarter, perhaps the Nuggets would have stretched the margin to double digits.

However, after entering the second quarter, the Mavericks' bench suddenly exploded, and Marquis, a non-draft player signed by the Mavericks before the All-Star break this season? Daniels suddenly rose to the occasion, scoring 11 points on 5-of-6 shooting in just six minutes of playing time, and the Mavericks instantly completed the lead.

In the second half, the Mavericks changed their previous offensive style and began to play a solid positional battle, Liu Han gave up the ball and fell to the low post single, Nowitzki attracted the bag in the high post, Odom held the ball at a 45-degree angle, and the Mavericks played a triangle attack.

In the face of the Mavericks' changes, the Nuggets once again showed their lack of experience, Bzederrick is only the second year of coaching the NBA team this year, and the adaptability on the court is not at all comparable to Nelson, similarly, the Nuggets players do not have much playoff experience, they were beaten by the Mavericks' triangle offense in the third quarter, and Liu Han's low-post back ability is not even Jordan's defense.

In the fourth quarter, the Nuggets tried to fight back to catch up with the score, but the Mavericks changed their defensive strategy to a joint defense, and they took advantage of the Nuggets' impatient mentality to stick to the interior and let the Nuggets shoot, as a result, the Nuggets fell into the Mavericks' defensive trap, and the game completely lost suspense.

In the end, the Mavericks defeated the Nuggets 109-98 on the road, and they also locked the match point.
