The score was finally fixed at 110-85, and the Lakers easily defeated the young Houston Rockets in the first game of the playoffs by a huge 25-point advantage.

The Rockets were targeted and suppressed by the Lakers all over the court, and Mike Brown, as the best coach, had a good defensive setup in the playoffs.

Of course, the lack of overall strength of the Rockets' players was the root cause of the loss.

Even their top player, Harden, is only 23 years old after all, and the others are even younger.

The two veterans, Delfino and Garcia, played well, but they could only play an embellishment role.

The speed and three-point points that the Rockets relied on to survive in the regular season did not play.

Jeremy Lin and Parsons, two young men, scored a total of 6 points, Jeremy Lin shot 1 of 7 and did not score one of the three points.

The tension of the playoffs still needs to be adapted.

Of course, some people don't need to adapt, or they have long since adapted.

As soon as the buzzer of the game sounded, Li Liang got up and was about to leave, but was stopped by reporters on the sidelines for an interview.

Li Liang shot 4-of-7 from three-point range tonight, scoring 19 points and a double-double of 10 rebounds.

His back-to-back three-pointers in the third quarter gave the Rockets a sudden death.

"Today was your first playoff game, and you played really well, and it seems like you're never going to have stage fright?" The journalist asked.

"Well, yes, a lot of people have stage fright because they're afraid of losing, and I've never been afraid of losing, I just want to win. The playoffs were also basketball, and although it was the first time, I felt that I was playing normally. Li Liang secretly pretended to be forced.

You don't even know how many playoff games you've played in the system, it's not a good place at all, and it's the first time.

"How do you rate your teammates' performance tonight, Kobe, Nash, Howard, you guys played very team today."

The Lakers' highest scorer tonight was Kobe Bryant, who also scored only 20 points, and he restrained his shots.

'They played well, but I think there's room for improvement.' Li Liang began to point out the country.

After talking nonsense to reporters, Li Liang went back to the locker room.

There were more interviewers in the locker room, and the Lakers locker room was almost full.

As soon as they saw Li Liang come in, the reporters gathered around like flies smelling.

Li Liang sat in front of the locker and answered a few questions briefly, and then went to take a shower.

In the parking lot, Wei Dazhi and several people were already waiting for him in the car.

Today is Li Liang's first playoff game, and of course the three of them will come to watch it live.

As soon as he got in the car, Wei Dazhi took out a voice recorder and asked, "Comrade Bruce Lee, how much do you rate your first playoff performance?" 100 out of 100. ”

Li Liang said: "I... Can you put away the recorder, how can you leave traces when you talk and do things, turn it off and turn it off. ”

Wei Dazhi had no choice but to turn off the recorder, Li Liang has always attached great importance to his privacy, even if it is Wei Dazhi, there will not be any audio and video records of Li Liang in his hand.

"Ahem, I'll give myself a score of 60, barely passing." Li Liang gave himself a performance of 60 points, and he thought so in his heart.

I thought that the playoffs would be a little more intense, and the game would be difficult to solve, and I would give full play to my energy.

How do you know that the rocket is a little bit can't help fighting, and before I can use my strength, you will fall.

"Hmph, you just brag, desperately said that you didn't use your strength." Bai Xiaoting, who was sitting in the driver's seat, did not forget to mend the knife.

"Whoever bragged, the Rockets couldn't help but play, you see Kobe Bryant only scored 20 points. Do you say that Kobe Bryant didn't have any strength, or did he only score 20 points because of his poor ability? ”

Bai Xiaoting couldn't reply to this, as a minion, she definitely couldn't admit that Kobe Bryant's ability was poor.

Besides, Kobe's ability is indeed not bad, he just doesn't have strength.

A few people made a lot of noise on the road, and the first game of the playoffs passed anyway.

Of course, Li Liang will not feel proud, because he knows that the playoffs will definitely be much more difficult than this one.

Even if it is the Rockets, it is impossible to win four of them so easily.

What about rabbits biting when they are in a hurry, let alone beards?

……

Also playing on the same day as the Lakers are the Spurs vs. Grizzlies, the Bulls vs. the Nets, and the Knicks vs. the Celtics.

The Spurs defeated the Grizzlies by 99-87, 12 points at home, without much suspense.

Since the Spurs were blacked out by the Grizzlies in 2011, the Spurs have met the Grizzlies once and for all.

The majestic black and white bears when playing against other teams, facing the transformed Duncan and Split, were basically beaten to the point that they couldn't take care of themselves.

In the 2011-2012 season, the Spurs shaved the Grizzlies' bald heads, 4-0, and three of those games were won by more than 10 points.

The Grizzlies have been stronger this season, with the two sides drawing the regular season.

But the Spurs lost two games, one by two points and one in overtime.

It fully shows that the Spurs are still very vindictive, and they are all going out to beat you in the face of the Grizzlies.

When it comes to the playoffs, the Spurs will be even more ruthless.

The Grizzlies' so-called interior advantage is not called an advantage in front of the Spurs.

As for the twin towers, they are all left over from Popovich's play.

The Grizzlies play defensive basketball, overall basketball, these are the routines of the Spurs in the past.

The problem is that the Spurs have Duncan, Ginobili, and the Grizzlies only have Randolph, and there are no sharp knives on the outside.

No outside ball-handling knives, no unsolvable mid-range killers, how do you play with the Spurs.

After all, this is not the lame Spurs of 2011, the regular season is beautiful, but the playoff style is still the same old.

But Duncan's state is not as good as before, and he can't attack and defend, so he will be blackened.

Now that the Spurs have been remodeled, Duncan has lost weight, his leg injury has improved, and he has focused on defense and strategy, the Spurs have taken Jefferson on the wing, ushered in fresh blood, and Split has grown and the overall has been greatly strengthened.

Although the Grizzlies are also very strong, how can they be the opponent of the old Spurs.

Now they have seized the opportunity to avenge the revenge of 2011, and they are even more beaten to death.

In the two games in the East, the Knicks beat the Celtics at home.

Carmelo Anthony continued his good form in the regular season, scoring 36 points in a single game to help his team win.

The Knicks finally had a good run-in this season, but unfortunately there are too many veterans under their command and they have suffered a wave of injuries that are more serious than those of the Lakers.

Therefore, in the first half of the season, they can still hold the Heat in first place in the East.

In the second half, the Heat began to exert strength, and the Knicks fell out with more injuries, but finally ended up in second place in the East and entered the playoffs.

And the other old team, the Celtics, after returning to the glory last season, completely stopped cooking with Rondo's reimbursement.

The 41-40 record is the lowest win percentage since the formation of the Big Three in '08.

Last season, the Celtics won 39 games.

This season has only won two more games and lost more than a dozen more.

The twilight of the hero, the beauty is white-headed, which is particularly eye-catching in the sports field of "veterans" over 30 years old.

The day when the Hulk will fall is not far off.

In another series, the Nets and the Bulls, the Nets who fought at home were all soldiers, multi-faceted, and scored 6 points in double figures.

Deron Williams had 22 points and seven assists.

Evans, their inside rebounder, grabbed 13 rebounds.

The Bulls, who were the first in the East last season, still stubbornly reached the fifth place in the East after Rose was reimbursed.

Thibodeau's defense is still strong-blooded, but without Rose, the Bull is left with a sturdy body and no blood-dripping horns.

This round of the series is destined to be very intense.

On April 21, the second matchday of the playoffs, four more rounds were played.

In the West, the Thunder vs. Warriors, the Clippers vs. Nuggets, and in the East, the Heat vs. Bucks, and the Pacers vs. Hawks.

The Thunder are second in the West and the Warriors are seventh, and it seems that the gap is not small, but the first matchup between the two sides was surprisingly motivating.

The Thunder, led by Durant and Westbrook, used hard defense and two-man offense to gain an advantage from the start.

Durant was in excellent shape, hitting consecutive shots from the outside, and Westbrook was unusually calm in the playoffs, delivering assists one after another.

In the first half, the Thunder took a 15-point lead, and the Warriors didn't look comfortable with the playoff intensity.

However, in the third quarter, Curry and Barnes suddenly fired two shots from the outside, and a series of three-pointers from the two erased the 15-point difference in less than five minutes!

Among them, Curry hit 4 three-pointers alone, and shot directly after a block.

The mid-range shot was just as accurate, and Westbrook's defense was a no-brainer.

Originally, everyone thought that the Thunder would win one-sidedly, but the Warriors took the lead in the fourth quarter.

It's just that Klay Thompson on the Warriors' side felt too bad, and he missed the key three-point shot.

Durant seized the opportunity and hit 2+1 in the counterattack, and the Thunder overtook the score.

Then Westbrook defended Curry's breakthrough, held the ball and made a layup, and the Thunder stabilized the situation.

In the end, Curry missed a quick three-point shot from the outside, and the Warriors lost the game 118-121, a three-point disadvantage.

In his playoff debut, Curry scored 33 points!

The last player to make such a beautiful playoff debut was Chris Paul, who scored 35 points, 10 assists and 4 steals in Game 1 of the playoffs against the Mavericks in '08 to lead the team to victory over the Mavericks.

The person who was in charge of him at the time was Jason Kidd.

The game caused quite a stir, and the Warriors and Curry showed people a lot of potential.

In this series, they are not destined to be slaughtered.

If the Thunder want to step over the Warriors, I'm afraid it will take a lot of energy.

The other game in the West, the Clippers and Nuggets, was also very intense.

The battle between the four and five was always the most tragic in the first round.

At the Stamp Center, the Clippers defeated the Nuggets by 7 points 122-115 after two overtime battles.

The Nuggets played in the back, the players fouled too much, and the main team was basically going to be punished.

The Clippers won in one fell swoop, leading 1:0.

If the Clippers and Lakers both advance in the first round, it would be the first time in NBA history that a city-to-town derby.

This is undoubtedly good news for the Lakers, which means they don't have to leave Los Angeles anymore.

Bad news for the Clippers for sure, as they will only have an away game in the second round.

There was not much suspense in the two games in the East, and the Heat beat the Bucks 110-87.

Brandon Jennings vowed to beat the Heat before the series, and then was pinned to the ground and rubbed in the first game.

James tells Jennings who the real James is.

The Pacers also won their first game by beating the Hawks at home.

After the match day passed on the 22nd, on the 23rd, the second game of the Fire Lake Battle began.
