After five games, four teams have already advanced to the divisional semi-finals.

In the East, James lived up to expectations and swept the Pacers 4-0 overall.

Indeed, the Cleveland Cavaliers have a very average regular season record this season. Indeed, LeBron. James' influence in the league has gradually diminished because of the presence of Link and Durant.

But it's only in the playoffs that you know what the real LeBron is. James.

No matter how well he played with the Cavaliers in the regular season, he was definitely one of the most powerful championship contenders.

In the West, the Golden State Warriors are the first team in the league to advance to the second round. They cleanly finished the Thunder with a 4-0 run, ending Westbrook's triple-double season per game.

The Houston Rockets also managed to advance to the second round, and the dark horses who were originally underdogs, but this season's blockbuster, maintained their upward momentum in the playoffs.

How far can Harden go? This has become the most talked-about topic of this year's playoffs.

On the night after the Houston Rockets qualified, a very well-known local nightclub in Houston said that it would retire Harden's jersey tonight, because Harden hadn't been here for a whole year!

And they said that the retirement ceremony that night will be very lively, and they look forward to everyone's visit.

Obviously, this is the marketing method that this nightclub came up with in order to rub off on the popularity of rocket promotion.

The gimmick of "Harden's retirement ceremony in a nightclub" is enough to attract a whole bunch of young men and women.

But Harden hasn't been to that nightclub for a whole year, and that's an indisputable fact!

The former Harden has never been a reliable star.

He often didn't come home at night, before he woke up from his drink, and the next day he wore his shirt to the game.

As a result, Harden's form over the past few years has almost never been consistent.

It is very likely that he will perform supernatural the day before, but start to strike like crazy again the next day.

Coupled with the contradictions between Harden and Howard, McHale and others, it has caused the Rockets to almost stagnate for so many years.

Harden lives at ease, but there is no way to take his career further.

However, after breaking up with Kardashian, Harden seems to have changed as a person.

He hardly goes to nightclubs anymore, and he doesn't sing songs all night.

He started to focus on the game, on winning. This once the most unreliable star has also begun to think about his career.

He didn't want to just do nothing for the rest of his life, he found his original intention to play!

Looking at the news that Harden has not been to a nightclub for a year, Rockets fans are taken aback.

It's no wonder that Harden has changed this season.

Most Rockets fans even think that the next ruler of the league is Harden!

With the momentum, it's no surprise that Harden is playing better.

But if you want to become the next ruler of the alliance, you will naturally kill the current ruler first!

The Memphis Grizzlies have become a target.

"I said, this time before the game is really rare quiet, not a single Houston media and not a single Rockets player came out to trouble us."

After advancing from the first round, the Grizzlies players also began to pay attention to the Rockets.

Therefore, in between practice, the Grizzlies players also talked about the Rockets on most topics.

"Because they're all focused on Bill. Simmons, that guy has been scolded badly lately. Link, who was sitting on the ground resting, shook his head, thanks to the wave of hatred that Simmons had pulled before.

Otherwise, I guess I'll have to be busy fighting a war of words with the Houston media now.

Speaking of which, Link...... What's the deal with your dark circles? Wade looked at the sleepy-eyed Link, the dark circles under his eyes were exaggerated, and he didn't know that he thought he had just fought with someone!

"Hmm...... I feel like I've been having some insomnia lately. Link waved his hand, and he could see that he was also quite helpless.

"Insomnia? Houston Rockets, not really? As noted by Bill. Simmons said that we completely crushed them in the regular season this season. ”

"No, no, no, it's not because of the rocket, it's because of ...... Well, I've been thinking about how to be a good dad these days. Then in the middle of the night, it's easy to fall asleep. ”

"Hahahaha, it's because of this!" Wade laughed.

Many men will have a time when they feel nervous and anxious about becoming fathers.

As the due date approaches, tension and anxiety tend to get heavier.

The safety of the wife, the safety of the children, the future of this family...... Countless things are starting to spin around in the minds of fathers-to-be.

Link is no exception.

On the basketball court, Link is the first man who can't be seen and is a nightmare for his opponents.

But in life, he is no different from ordinary people.

"Don't worry, it's useless to worry. When your child is born, you'll be ready for it. The experienced Randolph also began to pass on his experience to Link.

"You're used to taking a step at a time, can I learn that? ...... Forget it, leave me alone, we have to concentrate on preparing now. Over there in Houston, it's menacing! ”

Link waved his hand and didn't discuss his business again.

Although the rocket is not strong enough to eliminate the grizzly bear, if you are not careful, it will also overturn.

In the eyes of fans, on May 1, the series between the Grizzlies and the Rockets officially began!

The game between the Rockets and Grizzlies will definitely be very hot even without the help of the media.

After all, during the regular season, the two teams have already sparked a lot of sparks.

Of the four encounters, three were played to the last second, and two of them were by Link's astonishing super stats.

The Grizzlies and Rockets have created too many classic matchups this season, and the grievances that were not settled in the regular season can be resolved together in the playoffs!

"It's the game the fans have been waiting for, and we've brought you the characters you've been waiting for! Welcome Bill. Mr. Simmons, who will be a special guest at today's game, will be with us on the commentary! ”

Before the start of the game, on the commentary stand, ESPN gave the fans their first surprise.

Today, they're once again making Bill. Simmons served as a guest commentator. Between his previous various things with Link and his recent feud with the Rockets, Simmons' arrival will undoubtedly make this game even more interesting.

"It's a privilege to be here in person, and today I'm here to see the Grizzlies beating the Rockets! The arrogant Houston media will soon know whether the Rockets have a chance of winning! ”

Bill. Simmons was as blunt as ever, and as soon as he came up, he began to complain about the Rockets. You should never expect to hear a nice word about Simmons about the teams and players he doesn't like.

"Are you really adamant that the Grizzlies can win tonight? As we all know, the fact that the Rockets were able to beat the Clippers with a total score of 4-1 is also a testament to their strength. The Rockets have been outstanding in the playoffs, and they're more than just a regular season team. ”

Kevin. Harlan meets Bill. Simmons was so excited that he also went down the slope and continued to ask.

"First of all, I'll admit that the Rockets are more than just a regular-season team. They can play tough battles and they have the ability to win some games. But the gap between the Grizzlies and the Rockets is still obvious, and I still say that the Grizzlies will never be in real trouble until the division finals! ”

Simmons is full of confidence, after all, he used to be the person who was slapped in the face by Link the most, and he knows better than anyone how powerful Link is.

But at this time, on the basketball court, looking at Link who was warming up, Dave. Jogger was a little worried.

"Link wasn't quite right today." Next to Jogle, Quinn. Snyder also found a problem.

"Well, his shooting percentage in the warm-up today...... Very low! ”

"Is it because of insomnia? Link said he hadn't had a good rest these days. That guy's state has never fluctuated so much. ”

"Perhaps, but I can only trust him. When a superstar can't shoot a basket, he naturally has his own way to continue to influence the game. I have confidence in him in that. ”

After Jogger finished speaking, the referee signaled both sides to start and prepare for the game.

Link yawned heavily before walking around the center circle.

The role of dad is not easy to play than the "God of Basketball".
