On April 19, two first-round playoff games will be played in the West and East, respectively, the fourth-place Jazz vs. the fifth-place Rockets, and the second-place Lakers vs. the seventh-place Mavericks.

The Western Conference playoff matchups are as follows:

Spurs vs Clippers.

Lakers vs Mavericks.

Hornets vs Suns.

Jazz vs Rockets.

The Clippers gathered to watch the four teams in the West play on the day of the game, hoping to learn from the other opponents.

The Lakers and the Mavericks played first, the Lakers have Kobe Bryant outside, Gasol inside, plus the little shark Bynum who returned in the playoffs, the Purple and Gold Army has a complete lineup, and the hardware strength alone is not inferior to the Clippers, and it is much stronger than the Mavericks.

The Mavericks have had a lot of problems this season, the biggest one being Jason, whom they traded for a fortune. Kidd, who has not really integrated into the Mavericks' system since the trade, has average chemistry with the Dallas, and the outside world is more optimistic about the Lakers, predicting a 4-2 victory over the Cowboys by the Purple and Gold.

However, the Lakers will not dare to underestimate their opponents, and whoever is strong on the court will definitely win, and the Dallas people have also won 53 games, the gap between the teams in the West is too small, and their neighbors have a lot of chances of black eight, and it is normal for the Lakers to be black seven by the Mavericks.

On the night of the Staples Arena game, there were stars on the court and on the sidelines, but there was a certain gap between the two in terms of strength, the Lakers entered the playoffs as the second in the West, and the Mavericks finally squeezed in. While the Mavericks have two Hall of Fame superstars, Nowitzki and Kidd, this season's poor defense and chemistry have made it difficult for them to form a strong cohesion, and as a result, they are also considered difficult to make it far in the playoffs.

The result of the game did not exceed everyone's expectations, the Mavericks collapsed under the attack of Kobe and Gasol, the Mavericks were blown up by the two cores inside and outside the Lakers on the defensive end, and none of the pre-game arrangements were completed, and the little general Johnson roared on the sidelines for a whole game.

Dirk. Nowitzki had 32 points and 10 rebounds. Howard 18 points and 8 rebounds, Jason. Kidd 11 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists. Terry 15 points.

Paul. Gasol scored a game-high 36 points, 16 rebounds and 8 assists to steal the limelight from Peter Pan. Bryant scored 18 points in the fourth quarter and contributed 32 points to the game. Odom had 17 points, 14 rebounds and six assists in the hands of Luke. Walton scored 16 points and Bynum Jr. returned in the playoffs, playing only 20 minutes and was in poor form, finishing with four points and four rebounds.

With a score of 128:114, the Lakers beat the Mavericks by a big score at home.

The Lakers beat the Mavericks, and the Jazz and Rockets game began.

The Rockets have experienced another troubled regular season this season, and it is a good result for them to finish fifth in the West due to injuries, but against their arch-rival Jazz, the Rockets have no advantage.

Yao Mingzi's No. 1 fan, Bill, whose career has also been troubled and difficult. Wharton couldn't help but sigh that the little giant couldn't play this season, and his injury finally didn't have time to recover before the playoffs. When both starters sit on the sidelines and watch, the Rockets' difficulties on the court can be imagined.

The Utah Jazz have an advantage on the inside, the most obvious manifestation of which is the control of the rebounds, and the Rockets are in the role of chasers throughout the game, often being widened by the Jazz to more than 10 points.

Maddy, the core of the Rockets, was heavily guarded by the Jazz throughout the game; Scola was clearly out of shape in his first playoff game; Battier and Landry tried to catch up with the score, but could only close the gap to 10 points at most.

In the end, the Rockets lost to the Jazz 82-93 in the first game of the playoffs. McGrady had 20 points, seven assists and six rebounds. Battier scored 22 points on 4-of-4 three-point shooting. Scola 14 points and 13 rebounds, Bobby. Jackson was out of shape, scoring just seven points on 3-of-15 shooting.

Andre. Kirilenko broke out today and scored 21 points for the Jazz. Boozer 20 points and 16 rebounds. Williams had 20 points and 10 assists.

The Clippers mainly watched the game between the Jazz and the Rockets, and the winner of these two teams will face the winner of the Clippers and Spurs in the second round.

"Boss, if we can take out the Spurs, it will be much easier to play the Jazz in the second round, and our record against the Jazz in the regular season is 2:1."

"That's right, but only if we get past the Spurs first, we also played 2:1 against the Spurs in the regular season, but we are the 1."

After the two finished speaking, their faces were not very good-looking, the Spurs have a GDP combination, and there is also a Bobo Zhuge Vic, when I think of the Duncan of later generations, the older he gets, the more demonic he becomes, and the current stone Buddha is not old, the Spurs are really not easy to deal with!

"It's okay...... Duncan has no inside partner this year, Oberto is down, Thomas is old, we still have a chance, as long as you sacrifice your brother and die with that stone Buddha, sacrifice a little you, and complete our whole team. ”

As soon as Ji Guo's unrighteous words were finished, Brother Panda's face had become even more ugly!

In a blink of an eye, it was the evening of April 20, and the Spurs hosted the Clippers, kicking off the second day of the first round of the playoffs in the West. This match is one of the key battles of the first round, and the two sides are evenly matched, and the victory and defeat are in the first line.

Ji Guoyi, the little fox, implemented harsh tyranny, first bought the Clippers for $1 million to win by example, and then he asked his teammates to buy it together, and if he didn't buy it, he couldn't do it.

Such a whimsical approach naturally made many people dissatisfied, but no one dared to say anything at this time, after all, the brain-dead fox bought a million by himself, how many brain-dead people can do this kind of thing?

Artest could only follow up and buy 100,000, Billups also bought 100,000, and the other players were all 350,000, as for the base salary player, Little Fox said, if you lose, you will count his, and if you win, you will count your own, and as a result, Garcia and Blevin. Knight and the others also bought one or two hundred thousand meanings.

Ji Guoqiu felt that his approach was too naïve, but sometimes the little fox's neck was like rubbing Indian divine oil, and he couldn't listen to his opinions, so he could only go with him, and Brother Panda only bought 200,000 yuan, so he was not as two hundred and five as him.

On the night of the game, the Spurs' home AT*T Center Arena was in full swing, and the 20,000 Spurs fans who arrived two hours early had already created an atmosphere in the AT*T Center that far exceeded the regular season, and their task today was to cause maximum disruption to the Clippers players and affect the performance of the visiting players.

Unlike most teams in the league who make the away locker room look like a schoolboy arena, the Spurs have the pride of being a giant, and they don't bother to use such unpopular means to defeat their opponents.

However, Ji Guoyan secretly muttered: "Damn, why is the air conditioner so cold today?" ”

"It's about to start, we've been working hard all season and we're finally making it to the playoffs, but boys, I'm going to tell you the harsh truth, the real NBA is only officially starting now, are you ready for the challenge?"

As soon as the old Dunleavy finished speaking, the Clippers players were already screaming excitedly, so excited that the old man was a little puzzled, it seemed that his speech was very ordinary, and he had just made a start, how could he react so strongly?

He didn't know that the Clippers players were fighting for their dollars, and if they lost the game, they not only lost, but also lost their fucking money! The dead fox threatened them that they couldn't tell the coach about it, even Billups and Artest didn't talk much, they had been with Ji Guosha for a long time, and they knew that this dead fox's stomach was full of bad water, and it would be very troublesome to provoke him!

"Okay, how to play today's game, the tactical training in the past few days has been very clear, you don't need to be nervous, play according to the arrangement in our training, we have the ability to defeat the defending champion!"

"The Clippers will win!" Ji Guoyi stood up and shouted loudly.

"The Clippers will win!"

"Kill GDP!"

"Let them hand over home advantage!"

“…………”

Although the Clippers players are a little forced, but the desire to win is still very strong, everyone has worked hard for a season, and it is terrible to go home to fish in the first round, or the Spurs and a bunch of old men should rest more, they are here to take care of the elderly, Duncan, the bastard, has four rings, it is time for the young man to win a championship......

The Spurs players have already started the home team entrance ceremony at this time, and today's game will be broadcast live by ESPN. Van Gundy, Reggie. Miller and Mark. Jackson.

Jeff. Van Gundy looked at Duncan, who was standing on the court in a daze, and said, "Duncan, the former regular season and Finals MVP, seems to be wandering. ”

Mark. "Let me tell you, even if he's only 6'5 inches, he's still an All-Star, he's very skillful and focused, and his dedication is the opposite of his apparent calm," Jackson said in a flat tone.

Reggie. Miller hesitated for a while and said, "I think he's really in a daze!" ”

Jeff. Van Gundy smiled and changed the subject: "Yesterday the Lakers and Jazz in the West won, and the Celtics and Magic in the East also defeated their opponents, guess which team will be the first unlucky guy to be swept away?" ”

Reggie. Miller immediately replied: "I think the Raptors and Rockets will be swept, the Rockets' main center will be injured, and the Raptors will be ravaged by monsters on the inside, and I think it will be difficult for them to win even one game." ”

Jeff. Van Gundy heard Reggie. Miller actually said about the Rockets, and was immediately very unhappy, saying: "I think the Hawks will be swept, and the power of the Big Three has already been shown in the first game." ”

Mark. Jackson listened for a long time and said, "I don't think anyone will be swept away, any team has the ability to win at least one game." ”

Just when the three commentators guessed who would be swept, the away team Los Angeles Clippers also appeared, and there was an overwhelming boo on the court, which was the welcome ceremony of Spurs fans to the Clippers!

Taylor Today. Swift and Christine were both watching the game at home, but Little Radish was watching the game at Ji Guoqiu's house, and the little girl was impatient waiting in front of the TV, so she simply ran to the panda's house to help Ji Guoqiu clean up the room, which was also boring to a certain level.

After Ji Guozhi came on the court, he saw the endless boos of the Spurs fans, and he didn't know what was going on, he only felt a surge of adrenaline, and he couldn't tell the excitement!

At this time, the camera was aimed at Ji Guosha, who was about to move, and saw this little fox trotting all the way to the technical table, jumping up lightly, and then raising his hands high, as if welcoming the cheering king!

Spurs fans immediately fried the pot, the dead fox actually dared to provoke, this is a long life?

Old Dunleavy found that the Spurs fans suddenly booed loudly, and hurriedly looked back, just in time to see Ji Guozhi flipping down from the technical table with a backflip, and he almost didn't have a heart attack in fright!

"Bastard, watch me go back and clean you up!" Old Dunleavy was very angry, this kind of dangerous action, he had long ago strictly forbidden Ji Guozhi to do it again, but he didn't expect that in such an important game, Ji Guozhi actually took his words as wind in his ears, which was unreasonable.

Ji Guoyi had a commotion at this time, and after landing on the ground, he turned over a few times in a row, not only angry with old Dunleavy, but also angry at Spurs fans with stomach aches.

Taylor. Swift was startled in front of the TV, Ji Guoyi's action is sassy enough, but the danger even he, a singer who can only watch the excitement, knows how big it is, and he must warn him when he comes back that he is not allowed to do such a dangerous action again.

Popovich smiled, the most wanted twin brother in the league is the Spurs coach, Zhuge Go looked at Ji Guo and smiled: "It seems that he likes it very much, and he is also very popular with San Antonio fans, you are welcome to come back next year." ”

Dunleavy Sr. looked even more ugly, knowing that it was Popovich's trash talk, and the coaches were equally bickered during the game. R1152
