Sun Ce asked people from the Memphis City Hall to help him arrange a test for his father's American motorcycle driver's license, and specially found a coach and examiner who could speak Chinese.

For Sun Ce, it is enough to say something like this in Memphis.

When the Grizzlies confirmed that they were going to start the playoffs at home, the direct flights from Beijing and Chengdu to Memphis were fully booked in recent days, and many additional flights every half hour were not enough, and there were still many people who needed to ...... from Atlanta and Miami and so on.

After Sun Ce, in the past few years, the local Memphis and the surrounding cities of Memphis have a perfect industrial chain for receiving Chinese tourists, compared to Southeast Asian countries, Chinese tourists have to suffer from spending money, although in the United States, a country where money is supreme, because China's economy and military power have become stronger and stronger in recent years, it is very hostile to China, but as long as the service is better than money, it is much stronger than their little brother's vision.

On the 19th, the coaching staff did not arrange training, and yesterday's team activity day and today's rest day, the coaching staff were preparing for the 20th and 21st.

The coaching staff is still very discerning in predicting playoff opponents, and before the Warriors started their winning streak after the All-Star Weekend and before they overtook the Mavericks, Coach Hollins determined that the opponent in the first round was most likely the Warriors, and has been studying the Warriors' style of play, and the last meeting in the regular season was to personally experience the Warriors' style of play after the All-Star Weekend.

This opponent is very strong, so the coaching staff has been working hard to prepare.

Not winning in the first round for the first time in five years is a foreign challenge for the Grizzlies, but it also keeps the coaching staff motivated.

Sun Ce was not idle on his rest day, and in the morning he accompanied Lily Collins, whose belly was already slightly bulging, to the hospital for a check-up, and returned home in the afternoon to start training.

Focus on practicing the three points of the 45-degree angle on the right side and the three points on the left sideline, the evaluation of the three points on the left sideline is B+ level, and the quasi-head of the 45-degree angle to the 30-degree angle on the right side is about the same as the three points on the left sideline, Sun Ce estimates that it should also be a B+ level according to the system rating, but the system only determines the top arc area and the sidelines on both sides, because these two areas can cover a 45-degree angle.

While Sun Ce was preparing for the game, the playoff teams had already begun to prepare for the playoffs at home or away from home.

The Warriors were smart enough not to train at the University of Memphis, but instead borrowed the private training gym of a friend of the Logo Guy's house, perfectly avoiding the long-planned harassment of the University of Memphis students.

There's a lot to watch in this year's playoffs.

On the Eastern side, the fourth- and fifth-place Raptors and 76ers have DeRozan and Evans, as well as the Gasol brothers.

The series between the Bulls and the Hawks is not very interesting, the record is too far apart, the difference in strength is large, the gap in strength should not be so big, but Horford reimbursed it, causing the Grizzlies to lose the opportunity to trade to get Millsap, and the Grizzlies proposed to trade the other party to refuse directly, the reason is that there is no one on the inside, and the Hawks can't deal with the twin towers of Griffin + Noah.

The Heat and the Knicks, these two teams have a lot of grievances, mainly because the Heat have hatred for the Knicks, the 1998-1999 season is a good time for the peak Mourning to win the championship, but it was blackened by the Knicks...... Although that was a matter of the previous generation of players, the media deliberately guided the emotional impact of players who felt like they belonged to the team, which in turn led to a hostile atmosphere.

And the Knicks have Howard, the Heat have Paul Wade, the three balloon stars, and Pierce, Dragic, Chandler, Josh Smith, and there is no shortage of highlights for the matchup.

But the main event in the East is the Nets and Pacers!

Although the Pacers collapsed in the second half of the regular season, 10-19, they have a super four young stars plus David West, a quasi-All-Star level veteran, due to the many rookie contracts, the bench lineup is also strong, with Scola, Turner, Masimmy, Copeland and others, and the 9-man rotation is very powerful...... Not every team like the Grizzlies, Spurs, Lakers, Mavericks, and Hawks can put up to 13 players on the roster, and most teams are in the regular rotation of 9-10 people, including teams such as the Warriors, Bulls, and Heat.

The 8-9 player rotation is normal in the playoffs, and the Grizzlies will reduce the opportunities of relatively weak players in the playoffs.

And the Nets are a bunch of veterans who are still strong!

The Nets are not limited to sixth place in the East this season, and it will not be difficult for them to surpass the 76ers or Raptors, but they will start a large rotation in mid-March, because the Pacers have a tendency to be overtaken by the Heat at that time.

Apparently for the Pacers, whose record collapsed after playing All-Star weekend.

This naturally sparked dissatisfaction among Pacers fans, and although the second half of the season collapsed, the Pacers amassed a lot of fans in the first half of the season, and the team that played as a team was still very attractive.

According to media speculation, the Pacers players will definitely be unhappy because of this incident, and maybe they will use it to rediscover the goal of teamwork.

The regular season is over, and some problems are gradually coming to the surface, with Lance Stephenson unhappy with Hayward and Darren Collison's higher team status and Hibbert's thorn attributes...... These things are gradually being exposed.

Some experts predict that this series may put the Pacers under control, and the Pacers may still be a powerhouse in the playoffs.

And the Nets' bunch of veteran stars will definitely not lack fighting power in the playoffs.

The Pacers, who have a lot of young stars, and the Nets, who have a lot of veteran stars, have become the most interesting series in the first round of the Eastern Conference.

Here in the west, there are many highlights, and each set of series is very interesting!

The Grizzlies play the Warriors, two of the league's three strongest outside combinations.

The Lakers played the Mavericks, Kobe and Nowitzki did not play each other once in the early years, and the two passed their prime, but often met in the playoffs, but the attention did not decline at all.

There is also the fact that James fans are looking forward to James' revenge on Nowitzki.

Thunder and Trail Blazers, at the end of the season, people were surprised to find that the Trail Blazers are firmly in third place in the West, both teams have super starting lineups, and even the Trail Blazers are a little stronger, but the Thunder have better benches.

Even the series between the Spurs and the Jazz is not lacking in highlights, Thibodeau paired with Jimmy Butler, who are one of the most popular teams in the league at the moment, bring an extremely tenacious temperament to this team.

It's just that until now, there are still old fans who are not used to the fact that the Spurs are a popular team.

While the playoffs are preparing for the first round and fans are starting to talk about the hot matchups in the playoffs, regular season awards, and other things, the 14 teams that have finished the 13-14 season have also begun to prepare for the draft and the trade market.

There are still a lot of rookies in 2010 who have not renewed their contracts, and they are all the top ones, except for Bledsoe, who signed a 5-year 70 million contract extension with the Celtics early, Paul George, Wall, Hayward, Cousins, Monroe, Larry Sanders, Lance Stephenson have not renewed their contracts, and the role players like Babbitt, Aminu, Turner, Bradley...... They are all good players.

Four seasons on, the Class of 2010 rookie started low and walked high, and it looked really good.

Although these players are restricted players, except for a few teams who will release people, most of them will not, but it does not prevent other teams from competing, you can try to give these players an offer that their parent team is unwilling to give, even if it is a price increase offer, as long as these players accept the offer, even if their parent team is willing to match, let the parent team of these players spend more money, which can be regarded as weakening these teams.

Moreover, there are many All-Star or quasi-All-Star level players entering the free market this summer, and teams with young talent such as the Pelicans and Suns want to give it a try.

……

Each team in the league has their own things to do, and on April 20, the Grizzlies' prep practice begins.

This year, the Grizzlies have had a very unsolvable problem, which is that the new defensive system has not been built well.

Originally, Sun Ce, who was a master of single defense on the outside + tandem defense + Gasol Jr., who was excellent at close defense and could even defend big and small, formed the strongest defensive combination in the league.

But the combination is gone.

This defensive combination of Larry Sanders and Randolph is also gone.

In addition, there have been all kinds of troubles in the regular season, and now it is too late to defend, and they can't help but try blindly in the playoffs, so they can only attack!

This does not mean giving up on defense, it is more precise, it is a compromise, focusing on the strong points and trying to make up for the weaknesses.

The Grizzlies' outside single defense and change of defense are still very good, and the defense and dismantling are actually good, but the teamwork lacks the tacit understanding of the internal and external defense connection because of the change in the interior line.

That's just one aspect, and the other is the most important!

There is a Whiteside who can defend alone, but he can't expand out and can't take it back, and then he is not happy.

There is an inside line that expands out the defense, and it is not good to defend one-on-one under the basket.

The biggest weakening is actually Sun Ce's ability to assist in defense, and he is far less effective in defense this season than in previous years.

Doing their best on the defensive end and trying to maintain the level on the offensive end as the referees blow the scale looser in the playoffs is what the Grizzlies need to do right now.

Not looking for perfection, just the best you can do, having won two championships, the Grizzlies' policy of preparing for the playoffs is clear.

On the afternoon of the 21st, this afternoon's training ended, including the three reimbursement players came to the stadium, and the whole team of 17 people cheered for each other together, ending the two-day preparation.

After returning home from the preparation training, Sun Ce looked at the time and saw that it was almost 5 o'clock, and after having dinner and practicing the Nash training method, he watched the two consecutive broadcasts of the Lakers and the Mavericks, Thunder and Trail Blazers with Zu Gee, Lily Collins, and Gohan, who was forced to go into business.

Today, the first day of the playoffs, is played between the Bulls and the Hawks, the 76ers and the Raptors, the Lakers and the Mavericks, the Trail Blazers and the Thunder.

But as soon as he got home, Sun Ce saw Lily Collins and Zu Ge talking excitedly, and his father was incense Guan Erye again, and his mother's face was also full of joy.

Seeing Sun Ce walk into the small living room where they were from the big living room, Zu Ge excitedly shouted, "Brother brother, you're back!" Come and see Sister Lily's pregnancy test report! ”

Pregnancy test report? Sun Ce remembered that he accompanied Lily Collins to take a pregnancy test on the 19th, but he didn't expect the report to come out today...... That's efficient enough! He had forgotten about it.

But why is a pregnancy test report so happy?

Sun Ce took the report and read it again.

Normal Normal Normal Normal ...... No abnormalitiesNo abnormalitiesNo abnormalities...... It's nothing special after watching it once!

If there is something special about the pregnancy test report, then you will not be happy.

At this time, Zu Ge stretched out his hand to put his hand on Sun Ce's shoulder, jumped up and climbed up along Sun Ce's back, stretched out his hand from the back of Sun Ce's head and pointed to a line of words, Sun Ce fixed his eyes, and it read "Double gestational sacs, germ no abnormality......

Double gestational sacs?

Sun Ce turned his head to look at the head of the ancestral goose hanging on his shoulder...... Twins!

……

After reading the pregnancy test report, Sun Ce also followed his father to incense Guan Erye...... The whole family was so happy.

But in addition to the excitement, Sun Ce was a little painful, in case these two are sons again, it is too sad, then I really have to go to Kobe Bryant to consult how to be a daughter in every child.

Hearing Sun Ce's words, Sun Ce was beaten by his mother again.

Sun Ce once again felt that he was becoming more and more displaceable at home.

On the contrary, in about seven months, there will be a pair of younger siblings, and the family status has increased dramatically.

Lily Collins, Zu Ge, and Sun Ce's mother, who have watched so many romance dramas, care a lot for Dabao.

After dinner, Sun Ce sadly went to practice the Nash training method alone, took a shower and watched the live broadcast of the game, and now the family's attention is on Lily Collins, and he has begun to prepare for moving to Los Angeles or Miami in the summer.

Before the Lakers and Mavericks played, the two games on the Eastern side had already been played.

The Bulls easily defeated the Hawks 99-88, the Hawks had a bunch of high-quality role players and two or three quasi-All-Star level players, but there were no real superstars, and none of them could be stable into the All-Star bench, averaging 25.5 assists per game in the regular season to only 16 assists in the first game of the playoffs, and the offense was directly cut off, without Horford, and there was no one to protect the rim under the basket, and the Bulls scored 99 points.

There is little suspense in this group of series, the Bulls entered the playoffs due to the normal decline in scoring due to the increased confrontation, and the Hawks were purely guarded.

Sun Ce read the battle report and felt that there was no suspense in this series.

But in the first game between the Raptors and the 76ers, Sun Ce was very puzzling.

94-125, the Raptors lost to the 76ers by 31 points on the road in the first game!

Gasol Jr. had 23 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and he played well in the face of his brother.

Lowry had 20 points, 1 rebound and 5 assists...... It's barely enough.

But DeRozan ...... Novak, who scored 5 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists on 2-of-11 shooting, scored high after 30 minutes and 6 points on 2-of-3 shooting after playing 30 minutes!

Pau Gasol had 26 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, Evans had 25 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, Tony Rotten had 22 points and Thaddeus Young had 22 points and 7 rebounds...... The first offensive game of the 76ers playoffs exploded!

Sun Ce is puzzled by the strange things in the east, but it doesn't matter, what matters is the live broadcast of the next two games.

In the evening, the first game day of the playoffs took place in the opening two sets of series in the West.

The game between the Lakers and the Mavericks was a fierce one, and the Lakers trailed by one point 81-82 after the first three quarters!

The final quarter of the game was still anxious, and the Lakers relied on Kobe Bryant's consecutive catches and shots at critical moments, and carried the team cooperation of Carter and Nowitzki, Bosh, Conley, and Marion at critical moments, and played a single quarter score of 29-26.

In the end, the Lakers narrowly defeated the Mavericks 110-108 to hold on to their first home court.

On the side of the Thunder and the Trail Blazers, they tied the game at 99 in regular time and dragged it into overtime with Durant's three-point shot.

When it comes to overtime, it's Westbrook's world.

Westbrook, who got 18 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists in regular time, got 3 rebounds in overtime, but did not deliberately get that assist, but scored 12 points in overtime alone, and played the Trail Blazers 12-9 alone, and single-handedly picked up the Trail Blazers when Durant was already out of strength in overtime, helping the Thunder narrowly beat the Trail Blazers 111-108!

In the last 25 seconds of overtime, Westbrook's strong basket sealed the win with a 2+1 dunk from Meyers Leonard, and Sun Ce's goosebumps rose when he saw the ball.

Westbrook, who played 49 minutes and only rested for 3 minutes in regular time, was able to break through the dunk in the last minute of overtime!

With 30 points, 12 boards, 9 assists and 2 steals, Westbrook is really calm and not selfish most of the time with Durant.

The spectacle of the first round of the game between the east and the west, Sun Ce only watched one game and saw the gap, the best three or four teams in the east have the ability to wrestle with the best teams in the west.

But apart from those three or four teams in the East, the other playoff teams and the Western playoff teams are not in the same class.

At present, Sun Ce feels that his team has a bumpy road ahead!

The first is the Warriors, and the second round is likely to be the Spurs...... If they can beat the Spurs, there is a high probability that they will be one of the Lakers and Thunder...... Let's prepare for tomorrow's game against the Warriors!

……

Just like Sun Ce's senses, after the first game day of the playoffs, fans felt that the East might be out of the series between the Pacers and the Nets, who originally had the strength to win 50 wins, and the other three groups of first-round games were not much to see, and the Heat and Knicks had something to watch, but the game was not necessarily very intense.

The 76ers, with real superstar Evans and Pau Gasol at the No. 1 center this season, have made the Raptors what they have done.

In the playoffs, a superstar is much more important than two or three would-be All-Stars or the occasional All-Star.

The first round is more interesting in the west!

The Lakers and Mavericks, Thunder and Trail Blazers all played exciting games.

Next, the much-anticipated series between the Grizzlies and Warriors is coming!
