The competition ended on April 14th.

The first game of the playoffs is April 17.

The day after the game, Qin Yang received the list of matchups for this year's playoffs.

Round 1:

In the West, the Lakers take on the Thunder, the Jazz take on the Nuggets, the Mavericks take on the Spurs, and the Suns play against the Trail Blazers.

In the East, the Magic vs. the Bulls, the Celtics vs. the Heat, the Cavaliers vs. the Bobcats, and the Hawks vs. the Bucks.

In the Western game, the Thunder team is slightly embarrassed, the Thunder three young people have begun to emerge this season, the combination of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook makes the whole league envious, as long as the Thunder team maintains this lineup, it will be a strong contender for the championship in a year or two, it can be said that the Thunder team relies on the strategy of building a team with the draft, which is simply open.

The manager of the Thunder team is mostly a reborn, otherwise the vision of the draft is too perverted.

However, this year, the Thunder team is still immature, and there is still a chance if they face other teams, but against the Lakers, the only problem for the Thunder is to be able to hold on for a few games.

The Jazz vs. the Nuggets were another close battle.

The Jazz team is very strong, the Nuggets team is also strong, and some of the two teams played, whether it was the lineup or the superstar, it depended on how well they played.

The Mavericks vs. Spurs is another bull-horse battle, and it is difficult to play such a game, but the Spurs have a more reasonable lineup and a greater chance of winning.

The Trail Blazers played against the Suns, the Trail Blazers had a bigger chance of winning, and Brandon Roy had a very good performance in the past two seasons, but ...... Roy was injured. The understaffed Trail Blazers are not destined to be a match for the Suns.

That is, if there are no surprises, in the second round of the West, the Lakers will play the winner of the Nuggets and Jazz, and the Suns will play the winner of the Mavericks and Spurs.

Compared with the east, it is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat, and the east is much simpler.

In the first round of the playoffs, the gap is obvious.

The Magic team against the Bulls, there is no suspense that the Magic team will win, although the Bulls Young Guards are strong, but the Magic team has superstars inside and outside, this season's record says it all, the only suspense is that the Bulls can have a few wins.

The Celtics played against the Heat, and a Celtics win was inevitable.

The Celtics have the Big Three plus Rajon Rondo, and the Heat rely on Wade alone, not an opponent at all. Qin Yang doesn't like Rajan Rondo, but he has to admit that Rajan Rondo and the Big Three are naturally suitable partners, and their strength can be maximized. The Celtics are strong, and the Heat are no match.

The Cavaliers played against the Bobcats, and there was no suspense for the Cavaliers to win.

The Bobcats have also caused difficulties for strong teams this season, and Larry Brown's coaching ideas can sometimes have unexpected effects, but the Bobcats are weak overall, and the Cavaliers have no suspense to win.

The Hawks vs. the Bucks are relatively more evenly balanced.

The Hawks are strong, and the Bucks aren't weak. But the Hawks have a lot of hope of making the cut, and the Bucks give the impression of lacking a strong team temperament and relying on shooting touch.

Therefore, the schedule for the second round of the East can probably be confirmed.

In the second round of the East, the Magic played against the Celtics. Cavaliers vs. Hawks.

In the third round of the East, there is no big problem in Qin Yang's eyes, the Magic team against the Cavaliers.

The Hawks aren't teammates with the Cavaliers, and the Celtics can't stop the Magic.

Of course, in the eyes of others, there is still suspense in the battle between the Celtics and the Magic.

After the playoff matchup list came out, Qin Yang asked for leave.

On April 15, Qin Yang came to Los Angeles.

As a professional athlete, Qin Yang kept playing back and forth, and the time he spent with his girlfriend was very short.

Lily was also a little angry that Qin Yang didn't accompany her, this time she came to Qin Yang to accompany her girlfriend.

When he came to Williams's house, Qin Yang was finally able to have a meal with his agent, and by the way, Lily also sat on the side to relieve a lot of anger.

"The playoffs are almost here, can you still take a leave of absence?"

Williams asked, sitting on the couch after eating.

Williams is Qin Yang's agent, it stands to reason that the status of the two is not like this, Qin Yang can change his agent at any time and be stronger.

But this is also Qin Yang's future father-in-law, Qin Yang has to admit it.

"It's okay, the playoffs are almost ready, I played very little in the last two weeks of the season, I've had enough rest, and it's going to be two months away."

Qin Yang said very relaxedly.

In fact, this can't help but relax, everything that can be prepared is ready, and the state is almost adjusted.

"I'll take Lily out for a walk in the afternoon, and I'll be back in Orlando tomorrow."

Qin Yang seemed to say casually.

"Well, come back early in the evening."

Mr. Williams seemed to say casually, and that look made Qin Yang's heart light up.

After eating and resting, Qin Yang took Lily out of the house.

Lily's temper came and went quickly, and soon the two were tired of being together, just like before.

"At what age do you think you're going to play in a game like this?" Lily sat on Qin Yang's lap and leaned on Qin Yang's shoulder and asked. Qin Yang smiled awkwardly:

"Probably thirteen or fourteen years to go!"

"It's been so long, then you don't have to play in the playoffs in the future, it's too tiring." Lily muttered.

Qin Yang didn't dare to say anything.

Qin Yang was born in 89, and this year is less than 21 years old, one year younger than Stephen Curry, and then Qin Yang can play for 14 years if there is no major injury.

This is a conservative estimate.

It's just that if that's the case, it's going to be bitter for Lily.

"Lily, do you want to go back in the evening?" Qin Yang asked cautiously. Lily gave Qin Yang a blank look: "Believe it or not, if you don't go back at night, your father will drag you out of the hotel at night." ”

"Huh!"

Qin Yang smiled awkwardly.

Mr. Williams used to be a soldier, and then changed careers to become a lawyer, and his personality is very serious, and he is very fierce, Qin Yang can't afford to provoke him, and he doesn't dare to fight back.

"However, we can go now, and go back early in the evening."

Lily whispered in Qin Yang's ear.

Qin Yang smiled, pulled Lily and left.

Half an hour later.

"You slow down, what's the hurry."

"Okay, that's enough, don't ......"

…………

On the 16th, Qin Yang returned to Orlando in good spirits.

Tomorrow is Game 1 of the playoffs, and the Magic will have their last tactical drill before the game. The players also have to train and keep up with the game and feel like it.

Tactical drills are actually quite simple.

The things that need to be done have been adjusted many times this season, the defensive tactics, the offensive tactics, all the players know it by heart, and there is no need to change it at all.

After the tactical drill, Coach Van Gundy didn't say anything more.

When all the players returned to the locker room, Qin Yang stood up and spoke:

"Guys, this time the real war is coming."
