Eastern Conference Playoffs First Round:

Boston Celtics (1) - Philadelphia 76ers (8)

The Celtics played against the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round of the playoffs, swept the 76ers 4-0 in the regular season, and encountered the stubborn sniping of the 76ers in the first game of the playoffs.

After a cold sweat, the Celtics put away the only little relaxation and swept the 76ers by 26 points 115-89 in the second home game!

In the third game on the home court of the 76ers, the 76ers fought back with the cheers of the home fans in an attempt to pull one back, but after resisting the onslaught of the 76ers in the first quarter, the huge gap in strength still made the balance of victory quickly tilt in favor of the Celtics, 105-92, the Celtics made another city!

There was little suspense in the fourth game, after falling behind 0-3, the mentality of the 76ers' young players was already out of balance, and Josh Jackson fell into a frenzied mode, frequent individual singles, trying to lead the 76ers to victory alone, but it was right in the encirclement set up by the Celtics. 99-86, the Celtics defeated the 76ers 4-0 to enter the second round.

Cleveland Cavaliers (2) - Charlotte Hornets (7)

The Cleveland Cavaliers face the Charlotte Hornets, although the Hornets have a good lineup, but the team lacks absolute superstars, and the play of Mr. Nicholas Batum is even far inferior to MKG, which is opposite James.

4-0! The Cavaliers didn't give the Hornets any chance, and they killed their opponents with a clean knife!

Atlanta Hawks (3) - Chicago Bulls (6)

The series between the Atlanta Hawks and the Chicago Bulls was dark, and the Bulls' first game on the road led the Bulls to win one game on the road with the excellent play of Wade and Butler. But in the second game, the Hawks sitting at home won one city with Howard's double 20 play!

The third game returned to the Bulls' home court, but the Hawks who played away from home played more and more smoothly, trailing the Bulls by 5 points in the first quarter, and overtaking the opponent by 5 points at halftime, and the third and fourth quarters were 5 points per quarter, and finally beat the Bulls by 15 points.

For the fourth time, the Bulls relied on Wade's magical 3-point strike to reverse the opponent with 1.5 seconds left in the game and beat the score to 2-2!

Maybe the fourth game exhausted all the luck of the Bulls, and in the fifth battle of Tianwang Mountain, with 40 seconds left in the game, Wade missed 2 free throws, and the rebound was grabbed by Howard, giving the ball to the other party! And Korver used this ball to shoot 3 points, widening the gap to 5 points, and finally beating the Bulls by 7 points! If Wade had made all 2 free throws at the time, the outcome of the game would still be known!

In the sixth round, the Hawks played exceptionally well, but the Bulls had a very poor shooting percentage from the beginning, and the Hawks played more and more fiercely, and finally won by a huge margin of 97-83, 14 points, and entered the second round with a total score of 4-2!

New York Knicks (4) - Toronto Raptors (5)

This round of the series is almost a two-man scoring duel, Carmelo Anthony vs. DeMar DeRozan. Lowry, who averaged 22 points + 7 assists per game in the regular season, fell into the quagmire of Cha Yicheng's defense, averaging only 14.2 points and 5.4 assists per game after a series, far lower than the statistics of the regular season.

And Anthony and DeRozan in this round of the series, both of them got an average of 30+ data per game, Anthony averaged 32.2 points per game, DeRozan averaged 33.5 points per game, but the other players of the Knicks were also very good, Porzingis averaged 17.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game, Noah averaged 10.2 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game, Courtney also contributed 10.4 points and 4.2 rebounds per game, and Cha Yicheng could also score 11.2 points and 6.4 assists while limiting Lowry.

With the overall strength of the Knicks, with a big score of 4-1, the battle was resolved in 5 games and advanced to the second round!

Western Conference Playoffs First Round:

Golden State Warriors (1) - Utah Jazz (8)

In an almost unsuspenseful game, the Golden State Warriors' three-point rain was a bit difficult for the Utah Jazz, who did not average points per game, but the Jazz's interior players Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors also made the Warriors' interior line anxious! However, with Durant, Curry, and Thompson's stable three muskets, the Warriors still relied on strong firepower to forcibly knock out the Jazz, as evidenced by the fact that the Warriors scored more than 110 points in three of the four games, and the poor Jazz Even with an outside scorer like Joe Johnson, the highest score in four games is only 102, and it is undoubtedly impossible to beat the Warriors with such firepower.

The warrior and the Jazz, or the fierce warrior is more powerful, knock Jazz to the ground!

4-0, the first Golden State Warriors in the West also easily crossed the first round! (To be continued.) )
