The rest of the series in the West were divided one after another, and the Warriors eliminated the Grizzlies 4-1, and the win was relatively easy.

The Grizzlies players deserve credit for their fighting spirit, and in Game 4, Mike Conley and Courtney Lee erupted from the outside to avoid being swept at home.

The Spurs won 4-1 against the Kings and faced little challenge.

As soon as Harden entered the playoffs, he became very iron, averaging 28.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 8 assists per game, shooting 41.3% from the field and 27.8% from three-point range.

Once again, Leonard's defensive prowess was unanimously recognized by the pundits for his ability to break through close to the rim against Harden and interfere with shots with his long reach. Harden has been deflated again and again, and such a low shooting rate has actually been prevented.

Harden shot 55.6 percent from the field in Game 3 and scored 28 points and 12 assists to lead the team to victory. In the other four games, he was very ugly to defend, and in the worst game of the fifth game, he shot 2-of-11, 2-of-9 three-pointers, and 4-of-6 free throws, scoring only 10 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists.

After the game, many people thought that Leonard was a better star than Harden, he not only defended well in the playoffs, but also was very strong on the offensive end, cutting 27+7+5, and the shooting percentage entered the 180 club.

Leonard also includes former Kings coach George Karl, who has been sacked, and he continues his characteristic of falling out with everyone.

When Carl coached the Kings, he was still defending Harden, and after class, his evaluation of Harden was almost completely faceless, and recently he publicly said that Harden had no leadership temperament, and the angry Harden became angry and scolded Carl for being a villain!

The Pelicans and Clippers played a tiebreaker to beat the Clippers by 20 points 108-88 at home to advance to the second round for the first time.

After the win, the media hyped Anthony Davis's leadership qualities, and it was only a matter of time before he was touted as the fourth-best forward in history, and now it was only a matter of time before he surpassed Barkley, who won the regular season MVP, to become the third-best forward of all time.

In fact, Davis didn't show any advantage against Griffin at all, and Chris Paul also had a slight advantage against Kyrie Irving. The Clippers' Achilles' heel is the center, with Mozgov and Speights both being blown out by Cousins.

In the crucial tie-break, Paul also dropped the chain. He played 40 minutes and finished with 13 points, four rebounds and nine assists on 6-of-19 shooting, 1-of-7 three-pointers and 0-of-1 free throws.

Austin Rivers played badly against Zach LaVine, who squeezed him away, shooting 4-of-12 from the field and 1-of-4 from three-point range, scoring only 9 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.

On the Pelicans' side, in addition to Cousins' 24 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists, another contributor was LaVine, who scored 21 points on 7-of-12 shooting, 5-of-9 three-pointers and 2-of-2 free throws.

Paul lost again, he averaged 20+5+11 per game in the series, and fans can say "Paul is still glorious despite defeat". But looking back at Paul's journey in the playoffs over the years, it is simply a sad history, with two second rounds, and the rest of the time the first round is out or unable to make the playoffs.

When the Clippers won Game 6, Paul walked up to Pierce and said, "I'm not going to let your career end here." ”

Then Pierce's career came to an end, without a crown in his life......

There was a big upset in the East, and the Nets were eliminated 4-3 by the Wizards in the first round.

Since joining the Nets partner LeBron James, Brook Lopez's nickname has changed to "Lo Jersey". He had a poor performance in this series, with only 13.6 points, 4 rebounds and 1.7 assists, shooting 47% from the field and 34.5% from three-point range.

In order to facilitate James' breakthrough in the frame, Lopez almost always floats outside to catch and shoot. The Wizards have three players in the starting line who are good at shooting three-pointers, and Lopez has to pay attention to both Wall's breakaway and the three-pointers after covering without the ball.

Lopez, who focuses most of his energy on the defensive end, has almost no blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation with the Nets point guards on the offensive end, and rarely cuts to the basket, so naturally he can't play good statistics.

After the game, Jamie sprayed the players of the Nets team, saying that the emperor once again led the team independently and was pitted by his garbage teammates.

James was so depressed at the press conference that he really wanted to leave and didn't know where to go next. He chose to join when he saw the Nets reach the finals, but he didn't expect that he would only enter the finals twice, so he couldn't stand it this year.

It is not enough to rely on him and Lopez alone, the Nets have too many weaknesses, such as a James who is good at attacking with the ball, and he doesn't even have someone who can lead the team to score after he gets off the court.

Beverley is an excellent point guard, able to defend and three-pointers, and he has only shot 40% from the field in this series. Of course, it may not be how well he defends, Wall's average shooting percentage has never been high, and he can't shoot anyone, so he can only choose to break through as much as possible.

The 76ers eliminated the Pacers 4-2, the 76ers had the advantage inside and outside, and the only advantage for the Pacers was Jimmy Butler, who was highly praised by the media for leading the team to win two games, and beat Gallinari.

The 76ers have too many young players, and the rebuilding time is not long, and the newcomers are prone to make mistakes. In the regular season, they were more relaxed, because the strong teams in the East did not win many games, and entering the playoffs required a test of mentality.

Gallinari's playoff performance is always inferior to the regular season, which is one of his major weaknesses. Fortunately, Millsap, Kemba Walker, and Jokic performed eye-catchingly, and although the difference in points per game was not large, they still dominated the Pacers.

Another good news for the 76ers is that the Nets have been eliminated, they have a poor defensive star, there are no defensive experts on the team, and they have a better chance of winning against the Wizards in the second round. The Wizards don't have superstars, and scoring mostly depends on the team, and the 76ers are not afraid of any team than the depth of the roster.

The Bucks, who eliminated the Magic 4-1, were the easiest team to advance in the East. Paul George overpowered Gordon Hayward, the core of the Magic perimeter, one-on-one. The two men have similar technical plays, and George has won in terms of physical fitness.

Hayward's physical fitness is relatively good among whites, and he has a star gap with George, who is at the top of his body, and his shooting percentage is not high under strict defense. Without that terrible broken leg, George could stage a reverse 360-degree turn dunk in actual combat, and he could shoot suddenly.

Inside Joel Embiid also has a slight upper hand against Vucevic and is much more athletic.

The Raptors eliminated the Hawks 4-2 and the win was not easy.

Lillard once again showed people what he could be, becoming a blacksmith as soon as he made the playoffs. He scored a lot with 26.5 points and 4.7 assists, shooting just 41.1 percent from the field and 30 percent from three-point range.

Once Lillard plays poorly, the Raptors' offense will be very difficult, and they have strengthened their defense through mid-term trades, and the ball-handling offense will still depend on Lillard and Gay. Guy's form has also declined, with fewer breakthroughs and more shots in one stop.

The Raptors will face the Bucks in the second round, and the two teams have a 3-1 record in the regular season, with the Bucks leading. The Raptors don't have home-court advantage yet and are in a very disadvantageous position.

The second round began, and the Lakers had no pressure at home against the Pelicans, making a comfortable 112-94 start.

Irving performed well, scoring 24 points and 5 assists under Guo Xu's defense, but he was clearly at a disadvantage, Guo Xu cut 32 points and 14 assists.

Irving is a point guard with the body of a point guard, who is good at scoring by himself and has an average sense of passing, while Guo Xu is the best star in combination with sudden points and shots, and can always drive the whole team.

The Pelicans' wing strength is not strong and they can't defend against Durant, and this weakness is doomed to their end. Cousins, who had a very good performance in the last round, also began to make silly, unable to single out Adams in the low post, pulling out to break through and shoot like a guard.

He finished with 18 points and 11 rebounds on 7-of-16 shooting, 0-of-3 three-pointers and 4-of-6 free throws, and left the court with six fouls in the final quarter.

That night, the headlines were the Warriors vs. Spurs game......
