As the playoffs approach, speculation about the first round is even more intense on the Internet.

The general tone is that the Cavaliers, Lakers and Timberwolves are the three most likely teams to advance. The Mavericks and Trail Blazers are considered to be the most difficult to see the outcome of the series, with the two winning and losing in five to five.

With the broadcast of promotional videos produced by various teams and official productions, fans gradually felt the smoke of the playoffs. At this moment, the NBA flag is in the sky, and heroes from all walks of life are like heroes of the Three Kingdoms, including Flash Wade alone against the Celtics Big Three, as well as the wolf god Zheng Ke and the troika. The various highlights of the regular season are now edited into moving pictures, accompanied by the passionate song "more" produced by Arthur Kid for the official, which suddenly makes people's blood surge.

Every fan has a team that they support, and in their eyes, it is natural to hope that their team can win. In the eyes of neutral fans, a game that can put on a good show is a good game, and it doesn't matter if you win or lose, you just care about how intense and tense it is.

There are not a few who support the Timberwolves, except for the fans on the American side, Asian fans account for a large part of the support. Although the Spurs have a deep heritage and many fans in Asia, compared to Zheng Ke's influence in Asia, it feels like it is not worth mentioning in an instant.

In the eyes of the majority of Chinese fans, this year's playoffs are very different. Because the three Chinese players currently in the NBA can all participate in the playoffs this year, maybe Yi Jianlian's Bucks may be torn to shreds when they come to the West, but in the East. Facing the eagle, it still looks a little funny. Not to mention Zheng Ke and Yao Ming, the two of them are the core of their team. leads the rise and fall of the team, giving people the feeling that the basketball players produced in China are exceptionally high-quality.

And the players of each team seized the two days and began to look for the best form in the stadium to meet the upcoming challenge.

On the evening of the 17th, the Quick Loan Center in Cleveland.

This is the battlefield of knights and bulls, and both teams are gearing up. Completely prepared. The Cavaliers' big shark O'Neal returned from injury and gave the Cavaliers a shot in the arm before the game. And the Bulls' side is not weak either, and Rose is the sharpest presence in the Bulls' arsenal. He's at the peak of his physical performance, and even though he's only in his second year of career, he's already acting like a superstar.

O'Neal's comeback still had a big impact on the Bulls, even at the age of 38. But the burly mountain-like body stood there. It still feels intimidating. At least in Joakim Noah's eyes, O'Neal is still full of strength, and the impact of his back is still as difficult to defend against as a forced basket turn.

"I really don't know what kind of monster he was at his peak." Noah couldn't stop complaining in his heart, his expression a little bitter.

The Cavaliers got off to a winning start with a 96-83 win over the Bulls. Rose had 28 points and 10 assists, but he also had seven turnovers, which is a terrible thing for a star who has the ball in control at all times. It's no wonder that the Bulls' offense was not smooth, and they only scored a measly 83 points at the end.

The Timberwolves didn't play on the night of the 17th. Of the 4 games out of all, the East occupies the first three. In addition to the Cavaliers and Bulls game, there is also the Hawks vs. Bucks, and the Heat take on the Celtics. Due to the time difference in the west, when the last game between the Mavericks and the Trail Blazers started, it was already 10:30 a.m. Beijing time on the 18th.

Surprisingly, the home team won all four matches on the first day. The Cavaliers, Hawks, Celtics and Mavericks all won the game without much effort, except for the Mavericks and the Trail Blazers, who were separated by nine points, and the others were all big wins of more than 10 points.

There was no upset, the topic was relatively reduced, and although the ratings of the first day of the NBA playoffs were not low, there were not many expected peaks.

Until the second day, the remaining four games.

The Lakers started the game first, facing the challenge of the new generation team Thunder at home. The two teams known for their offense played defensive in the first game, and the game was a bit dull at one point. It can be seen that most of the Thunder players who are entering the playoffs for the first time are still a little nervous, except for Westbrook, who is rampaging as always, Durant's performance is also a little unsatisfactory. In the face of Artest's top-level defense, he only made 7 of 24 shots, and the Thunder team could only regret the defeat at the end.

After that, it's the Magic's Lynx game. The Bobcats are a strange team, and the most rebounding player on the team is Gerald Wallace, who averaged 10 rebounds per game in the regular season, and grabbed a total of 17 rebounds in this game. And in this game, the team's starting power forward Dio and center Ratliff grabbed a total of 4 rebounds, which was embarrassing.

There was a shocking scene in the game, with Howard dropping out six blocks in the first quarter. Howard played a total of 28 minutes, scoring only five points and seven rebounds, but dished out nine blocks, just one short of tying the record of 10 blocks in a single playoff game held by Olajuwon and Mark Eaton.

In the end, it was the Magic who won the game.

As soon as the Magic team finished the game, the real highlight was immediately staged. The referee blew the whistle on time for the start of Game 1 of the playoffs between the Timberwolves and Spurs at the Target Center!

"It's really an epic duel," Yu Jia, the host of the imperial court station, sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"Yes, a generation of new people replaces the old people, and the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves. Seeing the Timberwolves full of youth and vitality at the moment, Coach Popovich must have been full of emotion in his heart, recalling that the Spurs were also the same youth and passionate. Yang Yi lifted his glasses and explained the game like a story.

Since Zheng Ke entered the NBA, he has always lost more than won against the Spurs. The Spurs had just won the championship that year, and Zheng Ke recalled the scene of the first time he faced the Spurs, which was really unbearable. It seems that in Zheng Ke's impression, the Spurs players are always on the same face, and the Spurs are always running like a machine.

Beating the Spurs is a deep desire in his heart.

At this moment, after Zheng Ke got the basketball, the feeling of having a ball in his hand could calm his surging mood. He squinted his eyes and looked at the strange-looking bald guy in front of him, and his momentum began to rise.

Jefferson swallowed, his arms spread out like an eagle, and he waited.

In his long career, he has also seen many top striker swingmen, but there are few players like Zheng Ke who do not have many offensive means, but each of them is very deadly. Although he was wearing the No. 24 jersey, he didn't have any bottom in his heart, and remembering Popovich's instructions before the game, he calmed down a little and his movements became more standard.

The fans began to clamore, shouting Zheng Ke's name loudly, hoping to see Zheng Ke score the first goal.

"What am I supposed to do with you? Left or right? Zheng Ke was thinking about the direction of the breakthrough, but his eyes were observing the dynamics of the players on the field, and if the first ball was packed, he didn't mind passing the ball first.

But the Spurs didn't mean to wrap it up, and it looked like they were going to let him and Jeffson go head-to-head.

"Single-handedly with Jefferson?" Zheng Ke laughed dumbly, amused by his unrealistic ideas. He is the best top scorer in the league, and he has never fallen behind even when he goes head-to-head with Kobe, so how could the cunning Popovich make such an unwise arrangement?

He gathered his mind and faced Jefferson's defense, and he had a plan in his heart.

Pick-and-roll.

In the first ball, Zheng Ke looked for a block with Gibson, the game had just begun, Zheng Ke didn't want to force a breakthrough, and looking for a block was a very good choice.

Gibson immediately ran out, the team boss wanted to block and dismantle, and the younger brother should accompany him.

Gibson stood diagonally to Jefferson's side with his hands hemmed, like a wall that had popped out of nowhere. Zheng Ke seized the opportunity, took a step to send the ball, and his body followed, bypassing Gibson's side.

"Don't want to get rid of me!"

Jefferson, however, kept up with Zheng Ke like a shadow, and he circled behind Gibson for a shorter distance.

Zheng Ke frowned, Jefferson's blocking ability really can't be compared to Lefou, if this is Lefou, at least delay Jefferson for a second or two, and a second or two is enough for Zheng Ke to complete this wave of attacks. Now that there are Duncan's five fingers open, and Jefferson on one side is constantly exerting pressure, Zheng Ke is in a dilemma.

Gibson didn't know that he didn't have much effect at the beginning, but he saw Zheng Ke being trapped, and subconsciously cut to the inside line.

Zheng Ke saw a white shadow in the corner of his eye, and looked at Jefferson's outstretched legs, a playful smile crossed his eyes. With a flick of his wrist, the basketball he was holding disappeared from his hand as if by magic, and the light that turned into a flash of light quickly slammed into Jefferson's crotch.

Jefferson only felt a chill in his crotch, and the cold wind blew it, and he subconsciously brought his legs together, only to find that the basketball had passed through his crotch.

"Bastard!" Jefferson's eyes were on fire, and he looked at Zheng Ke unswervingly.

And Gibson behind him happened to receive the basketball at this moment, although he was a little surprised how the basketball came from, but at that moment the primitive savage cells suddenly revived, facing the basket, he took a step, and then flew up regardless of it!

There is also a player on the Spurs' inside line is the 36-year-old veteran McDyes, who is no longer the 20+10 selected for the third team that year.

"Bang dang!"

The basket was clasped by Gibson's hands, and the deformation was noticeable. The loud sound spread through the speakers to every inch of the center of the target, as if it had suddenly exploded in people's ears!

Gibson roars, pulls the basket, and burns his passion (to be continued......
