On May 3rd, the fourth game day of the playoffs arrived.

After the first 3 game days, the situation of the four groups of series has been very clear, the Heat team leads 2-0, the two games won by the Heat team are won by a large margin, the Bucks are too miserable, and even some fans say that the Bucks should take the initiative to withdraw from the playoffs, the first game was abused by more than 20 points, and the second game was mad James scored 51 points in the third quarter, if it weren't for the third quarter, the Heat team would have led by 28 points 72-44, and James couldn't shoot, James probably wanted to continue to do.

The Lakers and Spurs both lead 2-0, and the first-round series between the two teams looks similarly unsuspenseful.

The Knicks and Pacers are evenly matched, the two teams are tied 1-1, the Knicks have grabbed the home-court advantage, this series seems to have to play at least six games, in the current Pacers side of several new core players are still too young, it is difficult for anyone to compete with Bynum, who is expected to get the second team this year.

Normally, the first two games of each series can tell where the series is headed, and now it's Matchday 4, and the first round of the eight series will all be determined tonight.

The Thunder team played the Nuggets, this series doesn't seem to need much attention, the Nuggets regular season is okay, and even repeatedly beat strong teams, but their style of play will be miserable in the playoffs, although Lawson scored the tenth place in the MVP list in the regular season, but in the first game of the series, Lawson was blown up by Westbrook at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and there was no way to fight back, and even the Nuggets were blown up 104-85, and the Nuggets almost lost to the Thunder by 20 points.

The 76ers narrowly defeated the Celtics 85-81 in the first game, and the Celtics are also powerful, last year people thought Garnett and Pierce were going to be finished, but in April, the Celtics got better and better, and Pierce also won the best of the month, and the strong 76ers played in the first game.

The Bulls didn't seem to have a suspense against the Hawks, 94-70, and the Bulls finished beating their opponents in the first game.

In tonight's four games, the media and fans have roughly judged that the Thunder and Bulls will have no problem winning the second home court.

The second game between the 76ers and the Celtics is difficult to say, the 76ers must be stronger, youth is the biggest capital, but the Celtics should not be underestimated, with the Celtics' grinding style of play, in people's opinion, it is not impossible to get down, it depends on whether the 76ers can withstand it, after all, Howard does not play well when he encounters the Celtics, Howard can only ensure that the interior has first-class defense, the offense is not open, and the interior teammates are too poor, so they can only rely on Evans, Iguodala, Holiday Louis Williams and other outside lines.

But the 76ers are still very favored, and overall, the 76ers are the most promising team to emerge from the East, and their roster looks too good.

Four games tonight, with only the Grizzlies, are looking tough right now.

Sun Ce scored 57 points in a single game, but the Grizzlies still lost, which put the Grizzlies in a situation of being looked down upon.

……

Sun Ce still got up early in the morning, yesterday's discussion was very fruitful, after all, he didn't lose much in the first game, and the defense did a good job, after two quite purposeful discussions, yesterday had a very clear plan for tonight's game.

Guaranteed to win?

It's not something that can be done by discussion, it takes the whole team to work hard, everyone to do what they have to do, and even do better than they should be, in order to win under the Mavericks with Yao Ming and Nowitzki.

After arriving at the arena, most of his teammates arrived at the arena early today, and before the tactical meeting began, Nash led his teammates to communicate in advance.

Unlike Sun, who only wanted to ask a few key ball carriers, Nash called everyone in and wanted to brainstorm more options for discussion in the tactical meeting that started at 9:30 a.m. later.

Nash has experienced more things than Sun Ce, and knows that many retired players who become head coaches are not stars, and when a player is great, not necessarily a head coach, relatively speaking, ordinary players or even marginal people, and there are many more examples of becoming a good head coach after retiring than superstars becoming head coaches after retiring.

Because ordinary players and even marginal people, they are more able to grasp what ordinary players should do and what they can do, rather than asking them to do more.

The Grizzlies' pregame preparations are in full swing.

At 12 noon, NBA officials announced several awards in one go, as well as confirmed the date of the draft draw.

On May 11, the draft draw will be held.

The best manager was won by 76ers general manager Sam Singki.

Sun Ce felt strange when he saw the news, originally in time and space, Sinki was a bad god, and he was one of the few gods who could help the team really complete the reconstruction by swinging the draft picks to create a championship-level lineup, and the transaction operation was also good, at least the trade was better than the general manager of the Thunder team, but before he tasted the fruits of success, he was forced to resign.

Here, he actually relied on two consecutive years of trading to get Evans and Howard, and won the best manager in this shrinking season.

The best coach was won by Spurs head coach Popovich, although the Spurs played beyond people's imagination in the regular season last season, but many people still felt that it was a return to the past, and this season the Spurs still won 50 wins, which made people convinced, and the Spurs system named by Sun Ce was truly recognized.

The Most Improved award was won by Knicks center Bynum, who averaged 11.5 points, 9.4 rebounds and 2.1 blocks in 27 minutes per game last season, and his average playing time soared to 36 minutes per game this season, playing 60 games, averaging 22.4 points, 12.1 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game.

With such a huge improvement, Bynum received 109 of the 115 first-place votes and won the Most Improved Award without any suspense.

Seeing Bynum winning the award, Sun Ce complained to Yi Jianlian, who was taking a lunch break in the lounge together: "This killing Matt is just a trick, he had the ability of 20+10 last year, if he stays in the Lakers, he will definitely not have so many shots, and he will definitely not get 20+!" ”

Yi Jianlian only heard the first sentence clearly, and almost jumped up, saying Who killed Matt?

There is no suspense about the best sixth man, and Harden, who averages 18.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game, won the best sixth man.

Sun Ce looked at Harden's stats and felt that something was wrong, why did he score so high and have so few rebounds and assists?

I checked Westbrook's stats this season, averaging 20.8 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game...... It seemed that something was wrong, but Sun Ce couldn't say it.

After watching the news of the award announcement, Sun Ce turned off the computer, did not continue to watch other news, looked at the diaphragm, and only lost a game, and the media looked like they had been hacked.

Sun Ce actually saw that some experts said that the Mavericks knew how to hack because they had the experience of being hacked...... A career stain can be turned into a "good thing", which made Sun Ce further understand the importance of championships.

After turning off the computer, he rested for two hours, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, Sun Ce got up and was woken up by Jimmy's brother, got up to eat something, and then warmed up with his teammates for tonight's game.

The current little brother Jimmy will also play the role of a wake-up waiter in the playoffs......

……

……

At 6:40 p.m., Sun Ce and his teammates stood on the court of FedEx Arena with the Mavericks again.

Sun Ce and his teammates are very focused, and several people with a small range of cooperation on the offensive end are discussing their own, emphasizing the things to pay attention to, the second game, no matter what, you can't lose!

On the Mavericks' side, they naturally win if they can win, and they have the opportunity to fight for the second away game, of course they want to win.

Carlisle looked at Sun Ce on the other side, he really didn't expect the result of the first game to be like that, winning is winning, but compared to the imaginary first game against the Grizzlies A surprise result is very big, and it failed to really hit the Grizzlies' confidence.

He began preparing for the first round against the Grizzlies after the All-Star Weekend when they lost the fight for fifth place and the chance to play the Thunder, the weakest team in the top four.

That's right, it's been preparing since after All-Star Weekend.

He thought that if Sun Ce got a 30+ and 40+ in the sky, he could rely on the absolutely unexpected tactical changes of others to beat the Grizzlies in the first game.

Unexpectedly, Sun Ce scored 57 points in a single game, and their four major Mavericks stars played so well and almost lost.

Although it was the Grizzlies who lost, Carlisle looked at the opponent's demeanor and seemed to be more affected by their side.

Just like Nowitzki said, to be able to face them and score 57 points in a single game in the playoffs is really like seeing the gods come down to earth.

Although everyone knows that it is a manifestation of Sun Ce's outburst, who can say for sure when Sun Ce will break out?

In the playoffs last year, the Grizzlies' young players were not as strong as this year, and their strength was obviously inferior to the Lakers, but they relied on Sun Ce's crazy outburst to beat the Lakers.

And their Mavericks have a few games left except for the first game, and Carlisle feels that they may not be better than the Grizzlies, and they may really be in the middle of the match.

Their advantage is only Nowitzki and Yao Ming.

But that's where Carlisle feels lucky, Nowitzki only has 30 minutes and Yao Ming has 20 minutes, and the two are staggered to ensure that their strength will not be broken, and that they will be dominant on both ends of the pitch in regular time.

The regular season allowed Yao Ming and Nowitzki to rest for so long, Nowitzki almost didn't even make it to the All-Star, and even directly gave up the opportunity to let the two fight for three teams, for what?

The overall winner, of course!

It's the first time Carlisle has been terrified of a player on the losing side, but that's the way it is, Sun Ce's performance made Carlisle feel too crazy, the regular season was jaw-dropping enough, and it can be even crazier in the playoffs!

Putting away his fear of Sun Ce, Carlisle did not show such emotion when communicating with his own players, he kept saying "we have the home advantage, we have the initiative now", and now he naturally has to maintain a confident posture.

……

At 6:58 p.m., the referee signaled for both teams to start.

The Grizzlies fielded a starting lineup of Nash, Sun Ce, Paul George, Randolph and Gasol Jr.

Sun Ce put on his equipment and wiped the magnesium powder and came to the middle circle, and glanced at Yao Ming in training clothes on the sidelines. I don't care about face at all.

The Mavericks sent out a starting lineup of Conley, DeSean Stevenson, Marion, Nowitzki, Chandler, and Yao Ming played on the bench today!

Seeing that the Mavericks were going to win this game no matter what, Sun Ce was angry: You still want to sweep us?
