The Warriors, Spurs, and Cavaliers have swept their opponents, but some teams of similar strength are still playing very intensely.

In the Celtics' second home game, they relied on a late layup by Thomas Jr. to equalize the score, and then won overtime to make the aggregate 2-2.

Hawks big man Millsap scored 45 points, but he couldn't help the team win the opponent, and he didn't score a point in overtime, and his 45 points were not as valuable as Thomas Jr., who scored consecutive points in the final moments.

The Warriors have qualified, and now they just have to wait for the next opponent to appear.

The team's training is mainly to maintain the condition, and the team doctor has done a lot of work to prevent further injuries.

There is no trouble with the main players in a season, and there can be no more problems in the crucial playoffs.

On April 25, the third team from the West to advance to the second round appeared.

The elimination of the Mavericks is inevitable, and even if they win a game, it can't change the difference in strength between the two sides.

The Thunder are few, the Mavericks can't limit even one, and it's hard to play without a good defensive player on the inside.

The Mavericks have also not had a good vision in the past few years, and they have not made any real strong players with the money they spent in the summer.

Nowitzki is 38 years old, and if they can't find a successor, it's not a question of a first-round playoff pick, but a question of whether they can make the playoffs.

In the last group of matchups in the West, the Trail Blazers pulled back another game at home, and the total score became 2:2.

Trail Blazers forward Al Farouk Aminu played the role of a surprise player, cutting 30+10, and the Clippers were helpless.

Moreover, the Clippers lost rebounds again, which was a big surprise.

But that's not the most critical, the most important thing is that Paul and Griffin both went out injured, and the Clippers feel like a cursed team.

The night was a nightmare for the Clippers, and Rivers said bluntly about the team's injuries: "Paul doesn't look good, Griffin doesn't look good. ”

ESPN reporter Arash Makaz tweeted that Paul's injury usually takes 3-4 weeks to recover after surgery.

On Paul's situation, Rivers said: "There will be a specific assessment tomorrow, but obviously he doesn't look very good. It's been really tough for Paul, he's worked really hard all season and brought the team here, he's a very emotional guy. ”

As for the question of whether Griffin will be able to play, Rivers said: "I'm not sure right now, I think there is a 50% chance that he will play in Game 5. ”

The winner between the two teams will be the opponent of the Warriors, which is a bit bad, but from the current situation, it is good for the Warriors.

In the game between the Heat and the Hornets on the same day, the Hornets pulled back another game and changed the total score to 2:2.

Kemba Walker played well and scored 34 points and did what the heart of the team should do.

Another victory was Jeremy Lin, who scored 21 points efficiently and blew up the Heat bench.

The home win in both games is only one aspect, and Batum has shown that the Hornets played better without playing and had Jeremy Lin better with the ball than Batum with the ball.

The game in the East is generally a little tangled, the fifth game between the Raptors and the Pacers, the Raptors are up to 17 points behind and turn the tables around, and in the last quarter, they fought back wildly, playing a 21-2 attack wave and winning the battle of "Tianwang Mountain".

Paul George scored 39 points, but lost his energy in the final quarter and lost a good game because he couldn't help the team.

And this DeRozan finally showed his All-Star level level, scoring 34 points to help the team get a match point.

As for the fifth game between the Hawks and the Celtics, it was the Hawks' already efficient team offense with a strong defense, defeating the Celtics in the third quarter and winning Tianwang Mountain at home.

Thomas Jr., the hero of the Celtics' first two times, has become the weakness of the team, with a height of 175, no matter how strong he is, he still has a hard injury and is easy to target.

In comparison, the Eagles' lineup is clearly more reasonable.

And the Hawks are relatively weak in position, and the Celtics don't have a powerball to use that to cut through the opposing defense.

On April 27, the battle between the Heat and the Hornets started in Miami, and the Hornets won the game unexpectedly.

This time Batum came back to play as a substitute, and the efficiency was just average.

The Hornets blossomed more points and won by 2 points in the final quarter.

Jeremy Lin 11+6+7, Batum returned to him did not have as many balls in the previous two games, and the efficiency has obviously decreased, but it still helps the team a lot.

The Hornets were unexpected, and the Trail Blazers seized the opportunity and took the Clippers, who Paul and Griffin were unable to play, to take the match point.

The Trail Blazers can be regarded as having a clear division of labor, scoring desperately with two guns, and other players desperately defending and trying to cooperate with all their strength to grab rebounds, which can only be said to be suitable is good.

The Clippers actually played well in the first three quarters, but they lacked key players and couldn't fight in the fourth quarter.

In the sixth game between the Hawks and the Celtics, the Hawks did not give the opponent another chance.

They pressed the Celtics on both ends of the floor, played an excellent game, and threw heavy punches to break down their opponents in the third quarter.

The starting five all scored in double figures, and the players on the court scored points one by one.

In addition to the All-Star level comparison, the Hawks' team basketball and the Warriors are one level.

On April 29, the Warriors' Western Conference semifinals opponent was finally decided.

Paul and Griffin continue to miss the game, and the outcome of the Clippers' elimination is actually expected by many.

In fact, the Clippers played very well this game, fighting hard to lead the score in the first three quarters, but they still lost to the double guns in the fourth quarter.

Rivers Jr. suffered an elbow blow to the face in the first quarter, and his eye socket was bleeding, and he played with an injury after 11 stitches, and also won 21+6+8, Jordan Jr. sprained his ankle in the fourth quarter and had already cut 15+20 before being forced to go down.

The Clippers were miserable, but a loss was a loss, and the Trail Blazers seized the opportunity.

The Warriors and Trail Blazers meet in the Western Conference semifinals, with Game 1 of the second round kicking off on May 1.

The Warriors have a few days to adjust, and they're waiting to get their hands dirty, but it's not yet certain when Curry will return.

The six sets of matchups in the first round of the playoffs have ended, but the last two groups are more tangled.

In the sixth game between the Raptors and the Pacers, the garbage brothers withered again, Paul George was indeed always stable, and the Pacers beat their opponents to drag the game into a tiebreaker.

Their group can only be said to be a chance given by the Raptors, and All-Star level players are so inconsistent in the playoffs, that is, Lowry and DeRozan.

If Paul George had a strong partner, the series would have been over long ago.

It's a pity that the Pacers chose the wrong person last summer, they didn't have a strong second point, and Paul George is not a level that can cover the sky single-handedly, so they still need to fight to the death, and look at the lineup is still dominated by the Raptors.
