The results of the first day of the playoffs were undoubtedly shocking, with four games, all of which were won by lower-ranked teams.

If one or two games are said to be accidental, but all four games are the result of this kind of result, which certainly cannot be explained by chance.

As it turns out, the playoffs and the regular season are two completely different battlegrounds. Teams that rank higher in the regular season will simply gain home-court advantage in the playoffs. Other than that, it doesn't represent anything else.

The high-ranking teams that thought they were sure to be stable all paid the price.

With this surprise result on the first day, people are even more excited about the 74-win Grizzlies.

Will they be able to continue to make a big splash in the playoffs? It's still going to be the same upset as yesterday's four teams. Either way, it will attract countless fans to watch the game!

The Grizzlies' current appeal is like that of boxing champion Mayweather, who is in the spotlight for every fight. But that doesn't mean everyone who watches him wants him to win.

Watching the Grizzlies lose is also fun for many people.

Bill. Simmons emphasized the strength of the Mavericks before the game began, "They're definitely not easy to mess with, and it's very competitive in the West this year. So, although the Mavericks didn't move up to eighth place in the West until the final day of the regular season, they are by no means a playoff underdog in the traditional sense. ”

"The Mavericks have won 50 wins this season, and 50 wins have been the fifth or sixth in the West in previous seasons. Although Nowitzki and others are getting old, they are still showing good form. And, as many people may have forgotten, the Mavericks are the only team other than the Thunder to beat the Grizzlies twice this season! In addition to the final game of the regular season, the Mavericks won the Grizzlies once in early February. ”

Simmons once again had a bad argument with the Grizzlies before the game began, only this time, he was clearly much more obedient.

He only stated the facts, without adding too much oil and vinegar, and did not overdo too much blacklink. It seems that after repeated failures this season, Simmons also knows the fate of going against Link.

He didn't want to be slapped in the face by Link again and again, unless he waited for a turnaround!

The Mavericks haven't been so high-profile since winning the championship in 2011. Just because they became a rival to the Grizzlies, they instantly gained unprecedented attention.

Mavericks owner Mark. Cuban naturally will not let go of this eye-catching opportunity, before the start of the game, Cuban was very confident in an interview with reporters.

"I know the Grizzlies have an incredible 74 wins this season. They've done a great job all year and done it perfectly. The only mistake they made was to get the Dallas Mavericks into the playoffs. Soon, they will find out how wrong they are. ”

Cuban has always been a big mouth, and he is known for squirting referees a lot. But apart from the referees, Cuban has never been merciful to his opponents.

In an interview last month, he also publicly said, "I hope the Lakers will continue to suck like this." ”

Cuban is nice to his players and staff, but not so kind to his opponents.

At seven o'clock in the evening of the 20th, an hour before the start of the game. Players from both sides showed up at the Federal Express Arena to begin warming up for the first step of their playoff journey.

People thought that the Grizzlies would be in an extra relaxed state today, but when it came to warm-up, everyone on the Grizzlies team was meticulous. The warm-up was carried out quite systematically and quite seriously.

Fans were a little surprised, the Grizzlies are the team with 74 wins, they are the best team in the regular season in NBA history, there is no one!

But their attitude is as if the grizzlies are the eighth in the West.

"It seems that Mark. Cuban was right, the Grizzlies seemed to be really nervous. Yesterday, all four higher-ranked teams lost in the game. Today, the grizzly bear has noticeably increased its vigilance. ”

On the commentary stage,. T's three living treasures are ready. The Grizzlies are the most high-profile team. Naturally, T sent their most popular commentary team to the Grizzlies' game.

On the court, some reporters also approached Link and asked him questions about Link's relationship with Cuban.

But Link, who has always been a lot of talkers, refused to be interviewed this time, shook his head at the reporter, and immediately returned to the warm-up.

People were expecting a nice war of words between Link and Cuban, but that expectation has now been completely disappointed.

The whole grizzly bear feels very tight.

It's like it's back in 2011, back to the scene of the Western Conference Finals. As a challenger, the Grizzly Bear is carefully preparing for the battle.

But it's just the first round of the playoffs, not the Western Conference Finals.

Even Cuban was surprised, he had prepared several arguments to spray Link back and forth, but he didn't expect the Grizzlies to be really cautious.

Could it be that they are really afraid?

The Grizzlies' pre-game performance has made people reverie, every team has a nemesis, maybe the nemesis of this 74-win Grizzlies team is the Dallas Mavericks?

Finally, at eight o'clock in the evening, the referee ended the painful waiting of the fans.

He threw the basketball in the air, and Haitian veteran center Dareham Porter and Gasol's arms were intertwined.

On the Mavericks' side, the starters are really old. Starting center Delham Porter will be 33 years old in half a month, and starting power forward Nowitzki is 36 years old. Small forward "Hacker" Marion is 36 years old, and point guard Jose. Calderón is 33 years old. The youngest Monta. Ellis, also 29 years old.

In terms of the age of the starting lineup, the Mavericks are actually older than the Spurs!

It's always the Mavericks' disadvantage, but it's also their strength.

All of them have a lot of competition experience. Bowler has played in the playoffs four times prior to this year. Ellis was even a participant in the Warriors Black Eight Mavericks back then. Nowitzki and others needless to say, their experience in 2011 is wealth that money can't buy.

As soon as the game began, after the Grizzlies fought for the first offense, the Mavericks began to retreat very steadily. Playing in the playoffs is as normal for those guys as eating and sleeping.

Conley possessed the ball past half-court and Iguodala came out to catch the ball and then broke through with a cover.

Sure enough, Nowitzki immediately stepped in and he didn't let Iguodala break through Ellis easily.

Ellis's physique is definitely not able to carry Iguodala, so the Mavericks have already dealt with this.

Don't forget, in addition to the Mavericks' players, their head coach Rick Rick. Carlisle is also a coach who has always been underrated. His control of the game, the formulation of the game plan, is definitely the top presence in the league. Aside from a slightly weaker on-the-spot command, Carlisle has few shortcomings, both offensively and defensively.

If he hadn't prepared in advance, Iguodala would have been caught off guard by such a situation. After all, in the regular season, Iguodala is definitely not going to enjoy such treatment.

A player who has never been caught in the bag will definitely be a little stunned when he suddenly faces a tough bag.

But Iguodala didn't, and the moment Nowitzki caught it, he calmly smashed the basketball through the crack to Randolph!

Grizzlies have rehearsed this possible scenario countless times in the past two days! Iguodala didn't have to think too much to know what to do next.

After Randolph got the basketball, Damham Porter rushed to pounce. That's a fat man who can score 19 points in a single quarter on the head of the Heat team, and letting him go will pay a terrible price.

Randolph is in no hurry to shoot or handle the ball. Instead, like an old man who goes to the court to exercise, he passes the ball behind his back very casually.

Link got rid of Marion like lightning and cut up, and after receiving the basketball, he took two big strides and hit the basket directly!

Marion has just been entangled with Link on the outside for a long time, and I have to admit that Marion's defensive skills are excellent. With the intensity of the playoffs, it won't be easy for even Link to get rid of Marion's entanglement.

But Marion's athleticism has always been severely degraded, and when Link flashes out of the space, Marion has no chance to catch up again.

These two excellent passes completely cut the Mavericks' defense apart. Carlisle couldn't help but clench his fists, he could see that the grizzly bear was prepared!

They weren't complacent about their 74-win regular season, and the bunch knew exactly what they wanted!

The Dallas natives thought they were going to face a slack, arrogant, and flawed defending champion. But in fact, it's quite the opposite!

Link caught the basketball and kicked it violently, jumping into the air like a helicopter!

Marion, Durhampoter, and Nowitzki could only look up, and they couldn't work in the air right now.

"Boom!"

Link swung his left arm hard and dunked the basketball into the frame! As soon as the playoffs began, Link gave the Grizzlies a good start with a powerful one-handed slam dunk.

"Beautiful offense, the Grizzlies were in danger and patiently found scoring opportunities! Indeed, yesterday there were 4 teams in the higher rankings who were counterattacked. But don't forget, the Memphis Grizzlies are in a class of one! They are different from all other teams, and what happens to other teams doesn't necessarily happen to them! ”

Hubi. Brown was really worried about the game when he saw Link being so serious at first. But now, after the Grizzlies played such a brilliant offense, Hubi. Brown was relieved.

The Grizzlies were so serious before the game, not because they were afraid of losing, but because they were afraid that winning was not beautiful enough!

Link yelled into the stands after the goal, and now he just wants to destroy the Mavericks, not engage in some painless war of words with Cuban.

Trash talk? Yes, but that was after the grizzly took out the calf cleanly.

The first in the league, which is 12 wins ahead of the second place, refuses to roll over!
