After a three-day break, on April 18, the Cavaliers hosted the Pistons, and the 08-09 playoffs officially began.

While the Cavaliers hosted the Pistons, other teams also played in turn.

Eastern:

The Hawks take on the Heat.

Celtics vs. Bulls.

Magic and 76ers fight.

Westward:

Lakers vs. Jazz.

Trail Blazers vs. Rockets.

Nuggets vs. New Orleans Partridges.

Spurs vs. Mavericks.

The games of the Eastern Conference teams, the Cavaliers and Pistons are hailed as the least suspenseful, and the other three groups of games have been played. The Hawks are very strong, the starters and benches are relatively good, and the Heat are not a weak team, and the Heat still have Wade to lead the team after O'Neal leaves. The two teams are definitely going to fight each other.

The Celtics and Bulls will also be in a scuffle.

Celtics' power forward former wolf king Kevin Garnett is out due to injury, and the Celtics have been strong this season, but the lineup has huge flaws.

After Kevin Garnett entered the Celtics, his stats plummeted, but he was very important for the Celtics internally. Without Garnett's interior defense, the Bulls have a certain chance of turning the tables around.

The Bulls' rookie of the Year led the team to the playoffs in his first year and was raved by the media.

The love stories of the Chicago media are simply unbearable.

The game between the Magic and the 76ers is relatively less suspenseful, and the Magic have a relative advantage in the roster, and experts believe that the two teams can be separated in five games.

The Western Showdown is pretty much the same.

A Lakers sweep of the Jazz is likely, and the Nuggets vs. Partridges are also considered to be a big gap. However, the game between the Trail Blazers and the Rockets is not clear, and the game between the Spurs and the Mavericks is also considered a bull-horse battle.

Cavaliers teammates began to discuss the matchups of other teams before the game, and Qin Yangte heard about it, so he should relax and relieve stress.

On the 18th, the Quick Loan Center, the Cavaliers host the Pistons.

The Cavaliers beat the Pistons in the regular season, but two of the games were won very far-fetched, so many media thought that the Cavaliers would win, but the game would be difficult to play.

Qin Yang also felt the same, but ...... In the middle of the game, Qin Yang found out that he was wrong.

James, who had been holding back for a season, broke out in the first game.

In the regular season this season, James will paddle in many games, and he obviously can't work hard, but as soon as the playoffs began, James began to exert his strength.

In the first quarter, James was 6 of 8 and scored 12 points, 1 assist and 1 rebound.

Led by James, the Cavaliers led by five points in the first quarter.

The only embarrassment was that Starkey, who was against Mo Williams, scored 10 points and 2 assists, saving a lot of scores, otherwise the game would have been stable with a 10+ lead in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Qin Yang played.

The playoffs are different from the regular season, Qin Yang knew this before the playoffs, before this game, James had given Qin Yang guidance alone during the internal training game, and Szczebiak also handed over a lot of things to Qin Yang, and even Delonte West handed over many small actions to Qin Yang very straightforwardly.

The playoffs are a battleground.

The men's battlefield, the hardness of the confrontation, and the intensity of the game are one level higher than that of the regular season.

Many fans wonder why many players did not perform badly in the regular season, but in the playoffs they performed much worse, which is why they are a little uncomfortable under the confrontation.

The slightest mistake is a thousand miles.

Qin Yang played, and it was Starki who played against Qin Yang.

Starkey didn't give Qin Yang any chance to shoot at all, and just after half the court, he defended closely, constantly squeezing Qin Yang with small movements and physical strength.

This is a very cumbersome, cumbersome but effective defensive strategy.

Normally, people who receive this kind of treatment in the league are superstar-level, but Qin Yang got such treatment in the first moment of receiving the ball.

Compared with Mo Williams next to him, who was half a step away from the air defense, Qin Yang's defensive pressure was the second largest on the team.

The first biggest? James, naturally.

In the first quarter of James, it was Prince who interfered with the top defense, and Rashid Wallace was ready to help defend at any time, not giving James any chance to shoot easily.

Qin Yang half-turned around and leaned against Starkey, although he felt a little uncomfortable, he didn't panic.

This kind of defense is not the first time Qin Yang has encountered this season, although the number of times is not very many, but in the virtual training room, Qin Yang has encountered many, many times.

That's definitely more than Rose encountered in his rookie season.

This is the reason why Qin Yang is not timid at all.

Half-turned, Qin Yang dribbled, without the slightest politeness, and directly accelerated to get rid of it, and when he got rid of it, his arm vaguely pushed Staki slightly.

It's a subtle little action.

Unless the referee is in the right position and the game is small, there will be no foul in this action.

During the regular season, Kobe Bryant and Wade used this method to make Qin Yang miserable.

Qin Yang's movements were not big, and it was impossible for his strength to completely push through Starkey, but as long as there was such a movement that was slightly delayed, Qin Yang would directly accelerate and break through.

Qin Yang's explosive power was not fast, but his speed was very fast, and almost in the blink of an eye, Qin Yang opened the distance.

Then, after the exercise, a quick pull-back step back to the three-point line.

Starki barely followed, but he couldn't keep up with Qin Yang's sudden stop and retreat.

Qin Yang went outside the three-point line and jumped directly to shoot a three-point shot quickly.

Sou!

Basketball goes over the net, three-pointers go in.

Wow!

Cheers rang out at the quick loan center.

"Three-point shot, score is - Bruce - Qin!"

The DJ shouted loudly, and the fans at the scene also shouted, and the scene was boiling.

Listening to everyone's voices shouting for themselves, it was deafening, and Qin Yang felt his blood boiling.

"Well done, man!"

James stepped forward to celebrate, and after the two high-fived, they quickly returned to visit.

Qin Yang's return visit was fast, waiting for Starkey at half-time.

As with the previous tactics, the Pistons were still attacking in the half, and after a slow half-time, Qin Yang let go of Starkey for a half-step defense.

Starki dribbled slowly, and Qin Yang defended carefully.

Starkey's technical characteristics are relatively ordinary, belonging to a stable point guard, coupled with height and speed, Qin Yang is confident that he can defend Starkey to doubt.

In the regular season, Qin Yang also did the same.

But the next moment, Rasheed Wallace made a block, Qin Yang was completely blocked by Rasheed Wallace, and Starkey broke through directly with the ball.

Qin Yang had no way to catch up, so he could only follow Rashid Wallace.

Rasheed Wallace is taller, and under normal circumstances, Starkey hangs the ball directly, and Rasheed Wallace is a super mismatch.

But this time Starkey didn't.
