The Kings' 13-man roster was confirmed, with Hassan Whiteside and Jason Williams not on the squad.

Whiteside was a sparring partner in the team, being abused all day long and being taught to be a man by the veterans.

When he first entered the league, he felt that with his superhuman physical fitness, he would definitely get a chance to play, and he would be a good center in the future.

By the end of the regular season, Whiteside's edges had been almost smoothed out, and he realized his shortcomings. Big Z and Miller, two people who are about to retire, are playing with him, not to mention those stars.

Whiteside didn't go to the NBDL, playing a total of 38 minutes all season, and he still benefited a lot, learned a lot of valuable experience, and improved his mid-range shooting ability. He, like Yi Jianlian, mainly focuses on air cutting and high-post jumpers after blocking and dismantling, and does not practice anything else.

The management is ready to execute his second year of contract and give him another year to prove himself, as long as it is useful to the team, it may not be impossible to get a contract extension in the future.

On the 16th, the first round of the playoffs began.

There were no surprises, and the Kings easily defeated the Nuggets 4-0 and swept to advance to the next round. The Nuggets, the smallest point difference, also lost by 26 points, which is not a grade at all.

The Nuggets' core right now is point guard Tylawson.

LAWSON IS REGISTERED TO BE 183CM TALL, AND HIS BARE FEET MAY NOT BE 180CM. His offense is very sharp, and his breakthrough is super strong, even Wang Jun and James can't completely limit it, and Curry has suffered a lot.

Lawson's weaknesses are also very obvious, and as long as he plays, the Nuggets are like a lack of individual defense.

In addition, the Nuggets' interior lacks offensive power, Nene is not strong in offensive awareness, Martin and Coopers are both blue-collar, and they can't grasp the King's interior weaknesses.

The Nuggets substitutes JR Smith, Raymond Filton and others are all strong in offense and weak in defense, and they can't withstand the king's offense.

The Kings weren't the only team to sweep the cut, as the Mavericks swept the Lakers 4-0 and will face the Kings in the second round.

This result has surprised countless people, and almost everyone is waiting to see the Lakers challenge the Kings. Comi is looking forward to leading the team to defeat Wang Jun in the playoffs.

Bryant was greatly reduced in the first round by veteran Kidd defense, averaging only 22.8 points per game. And no matter how Terry and Crawford twitched, Kidder would rather die than attack, and Kobe Bryant insisted on defending Kidd on the defensive end.

Close to small movements, interfering with the catch, interfering with the shot, Kidd has a way to disrupt Kobe's offensive rhythm, and Marion is also timely to change the defense after the block.

Kidd's role on the offensive end is primarily playmaking and tandem, and he, like Fisher, can't go straight on offense.

At the end of his career, the aging Kidd seemed to have dropped out of the league's elite defender club, and some players even secretly rejoiced in Kidd's heart, thinking that he would be able to easily beat him with his speed. But as soon as the game starts, people will find that things are not as simple as they thought.

Just look at the stats to see how tough Kidd is, and he ranks second all-time in total steals in his career, second only to Stockton; 4 times named to the first team of the defensive team; His defensive contribution is 75.1, the No. 1 of any point guard in history, and he is also ranked 11th among all NBA players.

The Mavericks don't need Kidd to attack, Terry, Barria, Crawford, and Nowitzki will take on the offensive load.

DeSean Stephenson, Kendrick Perkins, Marion, Heywood defensively hard. Corey Brewer also played well off the bench and was very aggressive on the fast break.

The Mavericks only finished fifth in the regular season because of player injuries, but they actually have a very strong lineup, and the starting benches are good.

After trailing 0-3 on aggregate, Kobe Bryant said in an interview: "I don't know if I'm crazy, I think I can still win the series." ”

There are also fans on the Internet who discuss that if Kobe Bryant leads the team to a reversal and wins the championship, then there is no dispute about the top three positions in history.

Then, in the fourth game, the Lakers were beaten and lost to the Mavericks 86-122.

Terry played 25 minutes off the bench and finished with 32 points and four assists on 11-of-14 shooting, 9-of-10 three-pointers and 1-of-2 free throws. Barria had 22 points and eight assists, and Crawford had 21 points, three rebounds and three assists.

Kobe Bryant shot 7-of-18 in 37 minutes, 0-of-5 three-pointers, and 3-of-4 free throws, with 17 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 5 turnovers, with a shooting rate of 38.9% and a negative win-loss contribution......

None of the Lakers scored 20+ in the whole team, lost and lost, Bynum was sent out for a malicious foul on Barria, but fortunately, Barria was not seriously injured and can still play in the next series.

The Thunder eliminated the Hornets 4-1.

Paul played better than Westbrook, but West was killed by Ibaka, and Aldridge was still Okafor's most troublesome type, unable to stay in the box all the time.

In the bench competition, Fernandez and Patrick Mills are also better than the Hornets' benches.

Paul was interviewed after the game, making it clear that he wanted to leave, he was completely fed up with the Hornets, as long as he stayed here, he would never win the championship, not to mention that the Hornets owner stopped playing because of illness, and it was impossible to spend money on reinforcements to assist him.

The Spurs vs. Grizzlies series also broke the upset.

The Grizzlies eliminated the Spurs 4-2, and Gasol Jr. and Love both played super numbers.

Lefu can pull out and shoot three points, and cooperate with his teammates to block and dismantle, Gasol Jr. can respond in a high position, block and dismantle mid-range shots, or go to the low post to beat Split, which is obviously superior.

The Spurs, with the exception of Duncan, are unreliable on the inside. Bonner can shoot, but he can't prevent it.

The four outside Guy, DeRozan, Tony Allen, and Conley have strong defensive capabilities, making it difficult for Spurs players to break through, and Duncan can still play good statistics, but he is no longer the "Stone Buddha" who can attract packs and dominate the offensive end.

The Eastern Heat swept the Bulls 4-0. David Lee and Lowry played well in blocking and pick-and-roll, and they were the only consolation for the Bulls.

The Bucks lost to the Nets 3-4 and went home in the first round.

Skyles took the Bucks to second place in the East, but couldn't guard off Zach Randolph.

Lan Fatzi was always said to be the worst 20+10 before, and this playoffs finally proved himself.

Where the hell is he rotten? Ilyasova and Bamot, who fought one-on-one, wanted to die. He can shoot in the middle of the shot, and he can also squeeze out some space with his back to step back and shoot a jumper, and he feels terrible.

Not only that, but Randolph has also become very active on the defensive end, willing to go out to block and pick-and-roll, and can also resist others and grab rebounds when playing small-ball tactics.

Harden was a big contributor to the win by beating Delfino at the No. 2 position, and Harris is one of the fastest guards in the league and has done a good job of defending Rose.

Experts believe that the Nets are likely to be a big dark horse this year, not only with strong starters, but also good players on the bench.

On the Internet, some Chinese fans joked: "Randolph is playing a big game of chess."

Someone else gave him the nickname "Zach - really big brand - Randolph." ”

The Celtics defeated the Hawks 4-1 and crushed the strength.

The Magic defeated the Knicks 4-3.

Howard was the key to victory, and he managed to dominate the interior, using stubborn defense to deflate Stadamire and Anthony, turning them into jumpers.

As early as the second half of the regular season, there were many who found that Stadamire and Anthony were not suitable as a partner.

Since Anthony arrived with the Knicks, Small's stats have started to decline, and their positions overlap, and only one person can be responsible for attacking with the ball.

Smalls was forced to pull out to play pick-and-roll, and Billups wasn't a playmaker like Nash, and his specialty was to catch the ball on the perimeter and shoot cold arrows, or rely on his strength to eat the opponent's skinny guards.

In any case, the Knicks group "Big Three" failed.
