There are four groups on the first day of the playoffs, and the scores of both games in the West are very low.

The Thunder, who are third in the West, played against the Mavericks, who are sixth in the West, and the Thunder also settled the battle at halftime, beating the Mavericks by 38 points in the whole game.

The Mavericks, like the Rockets, also changed the regular season lineup by themselves and shot themselves in the foot, but the Mavericks adjusted a little bigger because Parsons couldn't play, and the Rockets were purely made.

In addition to the strength of the double less, the Thunder's suffocating defense is refreshing.

The playoffs are not the same as the regular season, and if teams don't change their minds, they will only lose.

And the Mavericks' miserable whiteness also shows the failure of their operation last summer, and no one on the team has stepped up to score except for the old Nuo Tianwang, and there are ghosts who can win.

Compared to the west, the competition in the east is more intense.

The Pacers, who were seventh in the East, took out the Raptors, who were second in the East.

Paul George erupted in the second half and helped the team turn around and crush the Raptors to win the game.

Not to mention that the Raptors have become cute in the playoffs, and the lineup is also nonsense, Carol, who was obtained at a high price last summer, was actually put on the bench, although the performance did not meet expectations because of injury, but in the case of the opponent's strong No. 3 position, Carroll, who has playoff experience and defense, does not need to let the fans command.

And the battle between the Hawks and the Celtics for fourth or fifth place is a fierce matchup in team basketball.

The Hawks rejected a comeback in the final quarter to narrow out the Celtics 102-101 to give the series a 1-0 lead.

The score is only 1 point apart, you know, in the first half of the game, Celtic has been firmly suppressed by the opponent, in this game, the Green Army made 52 shots in the half, only hitting 12 goals. 'In the first six minutes of the game, we struggled defensively. But after that, the guys did a good job defending. Green coach Stevens said.

"The Eagles have a lot of energy on the inside, although they are not outstanding in terms of height, and of course, when we play small ball, the lineup is not very big."

Thomas Jr. said, "We can't dig holes like that, especially in the playoffs, because it's hard to win. ”

In addition, the injury of Celtics guard Bradley has also cast a shadow over their playoff prospects.

'It's heart-wrenching that we've lost a brother,' said Green defender Marcus Smart, 'and we're going to miss Avery, but we have other players in the squad who can play, so they need to step up at the right time. ”

The second day's game still felt strong and weak.

However, the Knight who is the first in the moving department almost ran into trouble against the Pistons.

The Cavaliers could only rely on James, Irving and Love to score in front, so the score was entangled, and even the Pistons took the lead, but in the final moments, three All-Star-level performances immediately took over the game.

Competitive basketball needs a team, and no matter how strong a star is, it is impossible for a person to play 48 minutes, but competitive basketball also needs stars, and heroes are always needed at critical moments.

In another contest in the East, the third-placed Heat defeated the sixth-placed Hornets.

The Heat signed Joe Johnson in the second half of the season, and the team has more firepower, the key is that their interior can give the team enough support.

The Hornets only grabbed 28 rebounds in the whole game, which was well below average, so you can imagine how much they were suppressed.

In the two-seven matchup between the Western Spurs and the Grizzlies, because the two core players Gasol Jr. and Mike Conley were unable to play due to injury, the Spurs clocked out in the third quarter and won easily.

The two teams also have a lot of connections in the playoffs, but this time because of personnel issues, there shouldn't be much suspense in this playoff matchup.

In the Western four or five matchups, in the game between the Clippers and the Trail Blazers, the Clippers mastered the situation as soon as they started, and they steadily suppressed the opponent throughout the game, not giving the Trail Blazers a chance.

The Trail Blazers' twin guns don't feel like they're in playoff mode, and Lillard looked extremely unwilling in an interview after the game.

However, the Trail Blazers saved so much money last summer and were able to make the playoffs, which is already considered to be earned.

On April 18, the second game between the Warriors and the Rockets began, and Curry took a break to be on the safe side.

The Rockets also changed their starting lineup and brought Motai Yunas up.

The Warriors put Livingston in the starting lineup, and the team didn't have Curry, but the strength was definitely still among the strong teams.

At the beginning of the game, the Rockets scored on the inside, and the Warriors didn't care very much, even if they couldn't play the Death Five without Curry, it didn't matter if they used Bogut to play a normal lineup inside.

Zhang Xiaotian and Klay Thompson played tough in the opening game and took on the team's scoring task.

It's really not easy for the Rockets to limit the two of them, but the Rockets' strong point is only Harden, and Klay Thompson and Iguodala can take turns to attrition.

Howard, who is in his prime, no longer has the demeanor of the first center, which has a great impact on the strength of the Rockets.

And Iguodala also felt better this time, although Terry, Beasley and Josh Smith on the Rockets' side played okay, but this time the Warriors bench did not suffer.

The most critical thing is that Harden, the strongest point of the Rockets, was overpowered by Klay Thompson, so the Warriors controlled the rhythm in the first half.

Although the half-time lead was only 8 points, a lead is a lead.

Playing against the Warriors, it's not safe to be ahead of the front, let alone behind.

With the lead, the Warriors' tactics don't need to change in the slightest, just staring at Harden.

The Rockets have to ask Harden to score, and the Warriors will work hard to consume it, even if the Rockets can fight with them to the end, it is estimated that Harden will not have the strength in the end.

In the third quarter, Howard just got a little bit up, but he was suddenly stopped by Zhang Xiaotian.

If it was a Warcraft at its peak, it would definitely not be so easy to solve, but now Howard's defense is much slower, and he can't stand the deliberate impact of the Warriors at all.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Harden and Howard did not go down, and the Rockets were still planning to fight.

But Zhang Xiaotian took over the game and helped the team extend their lead to double digits in two minutes.

The Rockets hurried Ariza's targeted restrictions, Ariza was tall and long, had good defensive awareness, moved flexibly and ruthlessly, and should be very sharp against flexible forwards, but it was not possible to limit Zhang Xiaotian.

This is a matter of strength, in fact, Ariza is the type of Iguodala, and the defense is good, but it is not easy to meet the top strikers who can shoot and shoot.

The point is, the Rockets' overall defense is too bad.

In the half-quarter, the Warriors stabilized the lead and knocked Howard down.

Even if Curry rested, they still won easily.

In the end, Zhang Xiaotian scored 28 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, helping the team lead the Rockets 2:0 in the first round of the playoffs.
