The Spurs have already figured out the first round of the playoffs, and all they have to do is stay in shape and wait for their next opponent, but their next opponent doesn't seem to be so easy to come by.

In the fifth game between the Clippers and the Jazz, the Jazz scored double-doubles and defeated the Clippers without Griffin to win the match point.

Without Griffin, the Clippers' interior line suddenly became a shortcoming, and under the Jazz's excellent defense, their offense was not able to play.

Paul lost his temper in an interview after the game, he had had enough of the defeat.

After calming down, Paul said that he would give his all in the next game, and Clippers coach Rivers even said that they will go to the next game with a determination to the death.

As a winner, Jazz feels completely different right now.

Jazz coach Snyder said: "I think we played really well on the defensive end. ”

'I don't think we care about home advantage,' Snyder said, 'I'm thinking more about the next game, I know they're doing really well here, I don't have any other ideas about home advantage other than winning on the road, I understand it's a challenge for us. ”

"We all know how difficult it is to win a series, especially against such a good team and we still haven't achieved anything. We're just going to compete and go through and I love that. ”

In another group of games in the West, the Rockets won the Thunder 4:1 and became the next opponent of the Warriors.

Wei Shao played beautiful statistics again, but he couldn't prevent the team from being overturned in the final quarter.

The Rockets' bench lineup helped the team once again, and they were undoubtedly the strongest team in the rotation.

After the game, Westbrook looked lonely and said helplessly: "The Rockets are a strong opponent, and the Thunder have done their best. The Rockets are more cohesive as a team, we're too far apart. Harden is my best brother, he has found the secret to winning in the playoffs, bless Harden, bless the Rockets! ”

Harden also expressed his respect for Wei Shao in an interview with reporters after the game, "He played an unbelievable season, I respect his game, he is a warrior." ”

The game ended relatively quickly in the west, but it was a little more tangled in the east.

In the battle between the Wizards and the Eagles on King Mountain, the Wizards had the last laugh.

The main forces of the two sides fought fiercely, and the Wizards narrowly won because the bench performed better.

In the eyes of the outside world, the Hawks are more than that, they have not used Howard well this season, especially in the playoffs.

Eagles head coach Budenhozer said, "Whether it's Eisen Ilyasova or Mike Muscala coming on or Paul Millsap coming in with a big four or a small lineup, it's a decision that depends on the circumstances...... Sometimes you need to field a lineup that can open up space. ”

'The players who can open up space, shoot better, move faster get more time because we need a faster pace and more space, and sometimes we don't play that way.

"The main thing is that we need more space on the offensive end, and even though we didn't do a good job defensively in transitions, the Wizards put a lot of pressure on us on the court, and that demanded a lot from Howard, who needed to make offensive rebounds and get second shots or even three shots."

"I believe in our team," Howard said to reporters, "and whoever the coach sends on the court is what he thinks is the best option in that situation, and I believe in my teammates." ”

On the dominant side, Wizards head coach Brooks didn't need to explain anything, saying, "We played more and it helped us win. Defensively, we executed the game plan well, they can't miss shots all the time, but our efforts on the defensive end will limit them. ”

"Schroder had a great three-point shot today, with transitions from offense to defense, from behind screens, and toward the end of the offensive time. He's got a lot of speed to the basket, but he chose to shoot tonight, and you have to take the ball. ”

'Marcin grabbed a lot of rebounds and secured our offense. He tried to get more shots, but the opponent was reluctant to give him because Dwight Howard was in the box. In addition he did some covers, and I liked the way he played. In short, the final score is more important than the stats. ”

On the side of the Celtics and Bulls, the Celtics won three games in a row to get match point.

This time the Bulls weren't just defensive, they had problems offensively.

From the beginning full of confidence to now falling behind, the Bulls are not only missing Rondo, but they also have problems with their hearts.

Jimmy Butler was restrained, which also raised questions about his ability to lead the team.

Bulls head coach Hojberg said after the game: "They held the home court, so in the next game we have to do the same and keep the home court." ”

'We played really well in the first three quarters, but in the last 10 minutes the opponent took over. In addition, they have three very good wing defenders. ”

As the reporter's questions became more and more difficult, the coach of the Bulls, who was in a very bad mood after losing three games in a row, left in a rage, which also became a joke for a while.

Wade, the Bulls' best performance today, said of Bradley, "Everybody knows he's a good defender, but tonight he played an offensive game. ”

"You want him to continue to be his defensive game, but tonight we gave him 24 points, and that hurt more than anything else tonight."

Celtics coach Stevens also praised Bradley, "Jimmy Butler is a hard guy to defend, Wade is a hard guy to defend, you don't expect to be able to guard them, you can only limit them as much as possible, Avery did a great job." ”

"I tried to stop Jimmy from going to the free throw line, which was my goal and I feel like I did it." Bradley was also very happy with his performance.

The Spurs are lucky that they don't care if they play the next round against the Clippers or the Jazz right now.

Originally, the Clippers could have caused them problems, but after Griffin's injury, even if they were lucky enough to make it to the second round, it would be a food delivery.

As for the Jazz, their offensive lineup happened to be targeted by the Spurs, and they couldn't make a difference.

However, the team's training is still quite serious, Zhang Xiaotian was arranged to use different tactics in different positions, although it is a bit bad to say so, but the Spurs are not just for the second round.

Of course, there are also targeted tactics, the Clippers and Jazz are the kind of teams that are relatively easy to target, and Vicky's tactical board has long been hungry and thirsty.
