After the first round of the playoffs, the media's favorite dark horse did not appear, and the league that has been reshuffled this season has become a huge gap between strength and weakness, like the following frequent incidents last year, and most of the strong teams with absolute strength have successfully got off to a good start.

1 Los Angeles Clippers vs Los Angeles Lakers 0

1 Dallas Mavericks vs Houston Rockets 0

1 Oklahoma City Thunder vs Memphis Grizzlies 0

0 New Orleans Hornets vs San Antonio Spurs 1

Eastern Matchup -

1 New Jersey Nets vs Indian Pacers 0

1 Chicago Bulls vs Atlanta Hawks 0

0 New York Knicks vs Boston Celtics 1

1 Miami Heat vs Orlando Magic 0

Of the 16 teams in the East and West, only the Hornets and Knicks lost at home, while the other teams with home-court advantage all went out on top.

The Hornets lost on the inside, and Bynum lived up to the regular season in the playoffs with a sluggish performance, leaving Paul alone again. The Spurs were at full speed in the playoffs as usual, with Ginobili delivering 18 points and 8 assists, and Randolph chipped in 24 points and 10 rebounds.

The Knicks lost purely by themselves, leading the Celtics by 15 points in the first three quarters, but only scored 10 points in the fourth quarter and were staged by their opponents.

The tragedy of New Yorkers, in the final analysis, may have only one reason, and that is caused by Anthony and Xiaosi's excessive singles.

Although D'Antoni established DeLong in possession of the ball, the position of the team's second oldest was disputed again. Anthony and Smalls have conflicting styles of play, and their roles are also conflicting. The conflict between the two intensified over time. Now all they have to do is be present at the same time. The Knicks can't play a smooth fit. The techniques and tactics are so simple that even fans find them monotonous.

The Knicks have gradually become a team that relies too much on the singles and touch of their stars, and once their shots lose their crosshairs, they will fall into the same embarrassment as this game.

The other giant teams have basically solved their own problems at this moment, the Mavericks beat the Rockets at home, the Dallas' two international interior lines made the Rockets unable to parry, Yao Ming and Nowitzki's combination of one inside and one outside has a good chemistry, even if the two retain some strength, David. Lee and Scola were also unable to defend against their attacks.

The battle between the Thunder and Grizzlies was the most intense of the round. It took two overtime periods for the two teams to decide the winner.

Wei Shao and Du Shao dragged the two white bears of Memphis alive in the second overtime, Griffin and Gasol Jr. couldn't run until the second overtime, and the Thunder's deep bench and better athleticism decided the game. Moreover, the physical strength of the inside players has always been inferior to the outside players, and it is easy to break in overtime, not to mention two overtime.

The Bulls and Hawks also played in overtime, and the two Hawks inside and outside began to explode in the playoffs. Johnson scored 36 points and Bryant formed a mutual explosion. Smith sent eight big hats to disgrace Rose.

The Eagles are at the peak of Josh. Smith has a huge range of defense on the inside, and if he can be taller, he may be eligible to compete with the Animal Brothers and Warcraft for the best defensive player of the year.

This game is somewhat similar to the Thunder vs Grizzlies game. Kobe Bryant relied on the Sun's bonus at four or five o'clock in the morning to finally make a big splash in overtime. One man scored 8 points and led the team to defeat the Eagles.

Joe. Johnson didn't see the Suns at four or five o'clock every day, and after a full game with Kobe, he fell into a physical crisis in overtime, and he didn't score a point in overtime, and the Hawks lost the game because of it.

Although the Heat defeated the Magic, they did not come up with any tactics against Howard in the playoffs, and the victory was completely forced by James's outburst.

The Gorilla scored 35 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists in this game, plus Wade's 25 points and 5 assists, and the Big Three used their numerical advantage to take out the lonely monster.

Miami people also have no way, they can only use the center now only Milicic and half of the big Z, and Milicic really has a problem with his personality, Spoelstra is now willing to use Uncle Huo rather than use him.

Many fans always shouted for Milicic, saying that he had never played because he had not met him, and that the Serb was beaten by the Pistons and Larry. Brown delayed his life. But I don't want to think about the Pistons and the Magic, Larry. Brown and Big Van Gundy didn't like him, maybe they didn't meet each other. However, in the Heat, Spoelstra doesn't like him either, and even the coach of the Serbian national team chooses to ignore him, which must be his own problem, and everyone can't be blind, right?

On April 19, the Clippers beat the Lakers again at home, and this time the Clippers only played three quarters to kill the suspense of the game, and in the first game, they made 2 of 7 three-point shots to play the average Ray. Allen shot 6-of-8 three-pointers today, including four three-pointers in the third quarter, crushing the already shaky Lakers in one fell swoop.

It is worth mentioning that Mike. Brown came to the Lakers after losing his job last year, and he wanted to come to Kobe Bryant to fight again, but he didn't even think that he didn't even see the people who came to him, and the Lakers became a rebuilding team with no draft picks.

The Lakers are now down 0:2, which is expected, but the black bread brother has once again become a scapegoat, and has been scolded by Zijin fans around the world, and the title of "waste coach" is now confirmed.

On April 20, the Nets played the Pacers again.

The Pacers played normally in this game, and Collison and Granger, who broke out in the previous game, were much more normal today, as the team's main scorers, and only scored 38 points in the second game combined. It's not that this performance is bad, it's just that those scores aren't enough to put the Pacers up against the Nets.

The Nets and Clippers pitchers both adjusted in Game 2 of the playoffs, with Korver shooting 3-of-6 from the field, Matthews being a bit powerful on 4-of-5 shooting, and Tony, who has always been out-of-the-box with three-point shots. Allen Dumeng scored one, the Nets made 16 of 28 three-pointers today, and the Pacers were bombed by an air raid and surrendered after only three quarters of the game.

ESPN did a special analysis of the Clippers and Nets' excellent three-pointers in Game 2, and they used the regular season three-point shooting percentages of both teams as a basis. It is believed that the main options for these two teams on the offensive end are three-point shooting and basket offense. The two brothers used to be better at mid-range shooting, but they didn't shoot much.

Regular season of the season. The Clippers made 905 of their 2,350 three-point shots, a 38.5 percent shooting rate, surpassing the Suns in the 05-06 season and setting a new NBA all-time three-point shooting record.

The Nets weren't as crazy about three-point shooting as the Clippers, making 850 of them from three-point range in a total of 2,180 shots, a 39.0 percent percentage. The Nets didn't take as many three-pointers as the Clippers. But they rank first in the league in three-point shooting percentage.

The crazy obsession with three-point shooting this season has been staggering, and according to the shooting areas of both teams, these two teams are either shooting outside the three-point line or near the paint zone, rarely choosing the mid-range shooting that was prevalent in the eighties and nineties, and the two teams are at the bottom of the league in shooting in the 16-22-foot area.

Both teams have become more obsessed with three-point shooting this season, with Ji setting an unprecedented record when he broke his own three-point shooting record and improved it to 305, eventually becoming the first player in NBA history to hit more than 300 three-pointers in a single season.

ESPN is finally no longer the black fox brother this time, they believe that the current NBA has entered the era of "giant decline", and the three-point shot has begun to dominate the league. And the rise of the shooter. It was inevitably accompanied by the decline of the center.

Looking at the top eight of the East and West in the playoffs, the only team with a pure center as the core is the Magic. Although Yao Ming is on the Mavericks. But the core of this team is by no means Yao Ming. Moreover, in the past ten years, there has been no championship phase for teams with pure center forwards as the core. In fact, since the beginning of the new century, only O'Neal has led the team to the finals. Not only that, but in the past 20 years, O'Neal has only been involved in scoring title, MVP or FMVP.

After the end of the NBA's era of the four centers, the teams with pure centers as the core not only failed to achieve results, but also were not as good as the teams with the interior of the new era.

Now fans just watch the fox brother play, and they will have a wonderful feeling: whether the fox is caught by a three, or stopped and pulled, or even kneeling or lying down, as long as he shoots, the ball will hollow through the net. This season, Ji Guoyi's unreasonable three-point shooting rate is as high as 41.2%, and the average number of shots per game (4.51, this refers to forced shots when someone is defending in front of him, not the total number of shots) and the number of shots (1.86) are both the first in the league.

Ji Guozhi finally praised ESPN's report the next day, these guys haven't praised him for a long time, a few days ago, Ji Guozhi arranged his own brokerage company and sent someone to buy some advertisements with ESPN, ready to promote the Maohu tablet that was listed in May, and the effect was immediate. ESPN's report was deliberately hung on the official website and the front pages of its newspapers and magazines, and Ji Guoyi secretly said that the money was well spent.

On April 21, the Clippers, the easiest playoff team, returned to Staples Arena today for Game 3 of the first round, but this time on the road.

Lakers fans weren't hopeful about their team's playoff journey from the start, so many tickets were bought by Clippers fans, and at least half of the 20,000 fans in attendance today were Clippers fans.

Buss Jr. also knew that this would happen, so he simply broke the jar and broke it, and blackheartedly raised the price of home tickets to a level where it was 50% more expensive than the Knicks, with the purpose of not slaughtering Lakers fans, but Clippers fans.

But he is still a little brainless, and he doesn't have to think about it, even if there are few Lakers fans, how can there be tens of thousands of people. And the fans who came to support the Lakers at this time must be the most loyal purple and gold, and what Buss Jr. did really chilled these fans.

Clippers fans said it didn't matter, the tickets were more expensive, and they only watched two games anyway.

Now the fans who support the Clippers are not all blue-collar, many Lakers fans have become Clippers fans in the past two years, and the city is not as old and dead as the Milan fans in the football world, the NBA does not have the atmosphere of the same city team in European football, but the same thing as the Los Angeles team, which makes it easier for these fans to change their flags, which is determined by the different fan cultures.

According to a Los Angeles media survey, the Lakers' approval rating in Los Angeles has dropped to 56 percent since Buss Jr. took charge and Kobe Bryant left this season, while the Clippers' approval rating has risen to 44 percent. In just four years, the Clippers' approval rating has more than doubled.

In such an away atmosphere, the Clippers players not only did not lose the slightest damage, but improved.

The Lakers players felt a deep gap in front of nearly half of the Clippers fans in white jerseys in the arena.

Can such a home stadium still be called a home stadium?

The mentality of the players of the two teams is very different, and the form shown in the game is also very different.

Ji Guosha provocatively glanced at Nicholson who was on the sidelines with a straight face before the game, this dead fox was very vindictive, and his expression meant: I will definitely do something in a while.

After the game began, Ji Guosha did make Nicholson have the idea of leaving Staples directly, and the fox brother threw six three-pointers on the Lakers' head in the first quarter, as if in response to ESPN's report - he is just what he wrote in the article, continue to praise me.

The Clippers threw in a total of 10 three-pointers in the first quarter, tying the team's single-quarter three-point shooting record, and Ji Guoyi also equaled his own single-quarter three-point shooting record.

The Lakers trailed by as many as 17 points in the first quarter at 41:24 under the carpet bombardment of the Clippers, and the suspense of the game disappeared from the start.

Ji Guoyi also found in the first quarter of the game that the resistance of the Lakers players was not high, even Gasol was just doing his best, the defensive end was only trying to make no difference, and the offensive end was a little more serious, but he only ensured that his data would not be too bad, so as not to take the blame for the team after the game.

Well, what Gasol thinks in his heart, of course Ji Guozhi doesn't know, the above is just his personal speculation. It can be said that he is completely living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. However, Ji Guoyi felt that there must not be so many gentlemen in this world, most of them thought the same as him, and the Spaniards would not be an exception.

Ji Guozhi is frantically brushing points, his villain's heart is clearer, just with the resistance of the Lakers players today, the Clippers can't end the battle in the first half of the game, so he doesn't hurry up and brush up more points, once the old Dunleavy doesn't play exclusively in the second half, his data will be ugly.

With such a mentality, the fox brother shot out in the first half, like no one, and accidentally almost broke his playoff half-time scoring record, handing over 34 points, 8 rebounds and 0 assists in the second quarter.

"What a brush!" The commentators of various countries are complaining about the dead fox's ability to brush points, but they shamelessly bumped him into the sky, otherwise the fans of the dead fox should greet their ancestors and eighteen generations at this moment. Good commentators know when to hold it and when to step on it.

The Clippers led the Lakers by as many as 25 points in the first half, and the elder Dunleavy really did not line up Ji Guosha and the veterans on the team in the second half, and the game went into garbage time after the first half.

Lakers fans also began to leave the game after halftime, and the people who came to the scene today are all hardcore Lakers fans, so they can see how the battle from their home team is, and they know how to play with such a mental outlook, if the Clippers don't show mercy in the second half, it's not good that today is another "massacre of the century"!

Losing is not terrible in the hearts of these fans, and if the Lakers players are not discouraged, even if they are 30 or 40 points behind, these fans will still stay on the scene to support their team. But if even the team doesn't want to win, why are they staying here?

The Clippers didn't finish the game today, and Dunleavy Sr. began to work on young players in the second half, and finally defeated the Lakers 122-101 to get the first-round series match point. (To be continued......)
