On the same day that the Heat won their first win, the Wizards defeated the Bulls on the other side of the East.

The Wizards are different from the Heat, they have a balanced internal and external strength, and they are also relatively balanced on both offensive and defensive ends.

It can be said that although the Bulls have a good regular season record, they have no advantage against the Wizards.

Both sides are not bad on the inside, but the Wizards' outside attack is much stronger than the Bulls.

In the two games in the West, the Spurs narrowly defeated the Mavericks by relying on Parker's play at key moments.

Although it is a head-to-end battle, the Mavericks have never been afraid of playing spurs.

If it weren't for Nowitzki's cold hand, the Spurs might have been on their knees in the first game.

It is estimated that the Spurs also had a lot of waves in the latter part of the regular season, which led to a relatively slow heat now.

The Heat also have a bit of a slow heat, but their opponents are a bit easier to deal with.

In the game between the Rockets and the Trail Blazers, the Trail Blazers narrowly beat the Rockets by 2 points in overtime.

Although Aldridge and Lillard started on a big kill and looked like they broke the Rockets' inside and outside, the Rockets actually played more team, holding a double-digit lead in the final quarter.

It's a pity that the Rockets didn't hold back, allowing the Trail Blazers to drag the game into overtime with chopping tactics.

Harden, their core in overtime, was completely lost, and it can only be said that there was no such fate.

The Trail Blazers duo combined to score 77 points and add 27 rebounds, which was also a step ahead of the modern combination.

The eight games in the first round of the playoffs actually surprised many people.

Except for the Heat and Thunder, who are a little more stable, the others are intractable, and there are five games that are all on the following grams.

And the Heat and Thunder did not show an overwhelming advantage, giving people the feeling that the era of competition has come.

The next game seemed to prove this, and in the second game between the Thunder and the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies actually beat the Thunder on the road.

It's not just defense, the Grizzlies even play offense.

Even if the double is still powerful, even if Durant is shocking 3 1 in the last quarter, he helped the team to chase consecutive points and drag the game into overtime at the last moment, but he still didn't get the victory.

With Randolph dominating the interior in overtime and Courtney Lee and Tony Allen locking up a pair of players at crunch time, the Grizzlies' performance once again illustrates that they are an opponent that Western Conference teams are unwilling to face in the playoffs.

In the second game between the Clippers and the Warriors, Griffin, who was trapped in fouls on the court, broke out, scored 35 points in the third quarter and was unstoppable, and the Clippers also killed the Warriors by 40 points.

Because Bogut can't play, the Warriors' interior line is also a little tough.

Of course, the most important thing is that they didn't shoot from the outside, and it's normal for the Warriors to be hung without three-pointers, but the Clippers made the process a little magical.

In the East, the Pacers finally returned to normal, and under the leadership of Paul George, they took away their opponents in a wave in the third quarter.

It's just that Hibbert is completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation on the inside, which is a bit surprising.

The Raptors also relied on DeRozan's supernatural performance, scoring 17 points in the final quarter to tie the total score at 1:1.

DeRozan has adapted to the playoff rhythm, and the Nets will need to adapt to him.

Veteran players who want to play against rising stars in the playoffs with huge consumption can't rely on experience alone, and it will be very troublesome to prevent DeRozan.

Only the Wizards continued to fight to the bulls in overtime.

In this game, the two teams can be described as playing with fire, and the Bulls were originally a model of iron-blooded defense, and both sides almost did it twice.

The two sides were entangled until the last minute of overtime, and in the end, the Wizards, who were more evenly balanced, narrowly won by 2 points.

Nene scored six points in a row before leaving the game with six fouls in overtime, making the Bulls helpless to cut 20 10 inside, and it was also the key to the Wizards winning the game.

On April 23, the second game between the Heat and the Bobcats began, and they were also the last of the eight groups.

Before the game, Bobcats' teammates showed that although the Heat are strong, they also have opportunities.

Zhang Xiaotian has always been full of confidence, "They don't have a chance, because we are the strongest, and we will simply solve them neatly to show respect." ”

Fans praised him for his domineering, and the Bobcats players were very unhappy.

In the second game, the two sides were still the same starting lineup, although the Bobcats swore that everyone could beat the strong with the weak, and they were not aliens, but the game started more difficult than they imagined.

Al Jefferson has some minor physical conditions, and while the Bobcats are not playing on the inside, there are also problems with the restriction of James.

As a result, James easily scored a double-double in a single quarter, which also helped the team take a 10-point lead.

But the Bobcats showed their tenacious side, and they knew that if they didn't play hard, the Heat would have had an easy time taking them.

The Heat are different, and when they have already taken the lead, they just need to hold on.

The team's main squad is in very good shape, they just want to keep it, but the rotation of players is still not reassuring, Ray Allen has not found his hand, fortunately the opponent is not very strong.

In the first half, the Heat maintained a 10-point lead after the Bobcats played well from the outside.

In the second half, the Bobcats deliberately increased their interior offense, and the Heat were still not arrogant.

To be honest, the home crowd was a little dazed, it was the feeling that although the score was not opened, the rhythm of the game was still under control.

The Bobcats were also depressed, and their coach Steve Clifford had no choice but to make the last resort, killing the main force.

By increasing the playing time of the interior core, the Bobcats once had a tendency to catch up with the score.

Zhang Xiaotian saw that he finally had a chance to perform, and scored 5 points in a row within one minute of full firepower.

As soon as he saw hope, he was extinguished, and the Bobcat General Shuai only felt a mouthful in his chest, and he was very uncomfortable.

Their movements also became bigger and bigger, almost brewing conflict.

The situation changed a little after the two six fouls, and the Bobcats could only bet three points in the final moments.

This kind of resigned arrangement is certainly not going to overturn the Heat in the gutter, and 106-97, the Heat also became the first team to completely defend their home court.

Anyway, it's already the playoffs, and Zhang Xiaotian doesn't care about pulling hatred.

When interviewed by Xu Yi, his tone was still very sharp, "Yes, everyone should see that we are the best team, and playing hard enough can only prove that they are not strong enough." ”

This kind of arrogant language would have jumped out a long time ago, but now only the fans and the players fishing at home have expressed their opinions, and the others are really not available.

Because with the exception of the Heat, those teams with a first-tier regular season record are busy.

Yang Feiyu flew to the United States to help organize two fan activities, and Zhang Xiaotian was ready to follow the team to play away, so the two had time to get tired of it.

After a long absence, Zhang Xiaotian only felt that his physical condition was better, and he couldn't wait to play a wonderful performance.
