Chapter 592: Sweep Wins
After the game, the Mavericks did not celebrate in private, but after a light meal, they went home to rest, Qin Yang took a good head, and others did not dare to die at this time.
Dare to die, directly blocked.
Anyway, there is no shortage of people in any position on the Mavericks.
Nowitzki was also very happy, and in this game, Nowitzki was supposed to play, but ended up sitting on the bench for the whole game.
An extra week of rest would have been a different story for a player of Nowitzki's age.
The Mavericks are cautious about Nowitzki's efforts.
On April 23, the Mavericks host the Warriors.
Game 2 of the first round of the playoffs.
Compared with the previous game, Stephen Curry was not accurate in this game, shooting just 40%, and Klay Thompson was also in poor shape defensively, shooting less than 40%.
With both young cores like this, there is no suspense that the Warriors will lose.
In the second game, the Mavericks won again.
And after this game, the first round of the playoffs also reached a peak.
Except for the Heat and Mavericks who led 2-0, the other teams played a 1-1, 2-1 very tacitly.
In the first round of the playoffs, the situation is not so clear.
Westward:
The Spurs played against the Trail Blazers, although the Trail Blazers fell behind 1-2, but the performance was very good, LaMarcus Aldridge scored 40+ points in a single game, which beat Duncan and helped the team pull back a game.
The Thunder took a 2-1 lead against the Rockets, but the modern combination also won a home court.
The Nuggets also led 2-1 against the Clippers, Paul looked very helpless with 40+ points, and Griffin and Jordan Jr. did not perform as well as expected.
Eastern:
The Pacers vs. the Knicks, the advantage was not as big as expected.
Melon Anthony really fought hard for the playoffs, tried his best on the offensive end, and worked the defensive end, and won two games in a row, which stunned everyone.
The Raptors drew 1-1 against the Bulls, and neither team had a clear advantage, and whoever advanced to the second round could possibly.
Wizards vs. Nets.
Joe Johnson played Mr. Key again, and the prestige of singles Joe reappeared, and the Nets couldn't open it, so they handed the ball to Joe Johnson.
As a result, Joe Johnson is clearly not the Eagle King of five or six years ago.
The Wizards led 2-1 and won by a wide margin.
The first round of this year's playoffs was really good.
On April 26, the Mavericks played the Golden State Warriors in their third game.
The atmosphere at the Warriors' home court is not very strong, and Golden State is not a big city, although it is very close to Los Angeles, but unlike Los Angeles and Sacramento, Golden State is a poor place, the security environment is much worse, and it has no influence.
Arguably, the Warriors' home court is one of the worst in the NBA.
In the third game, the Mavericks still played easily.
Curry and Thompson were still targeted in this game, with Klay Thompson shooting 10-of-22 and relying on free throws to finish with 26 points and 6 rebounds.
Curry was in poor form, shooting 5-of-13 from the field and finishing with 16 points and 15 assists.
The Mavericks won the game on the road.
The standout performer in this game was Draymond Green. 5-of-11, with 13 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 4 blocks.
If it weren't for the five turnovers and six fouls, Draymond Green would have been the best in the game.
When Draymond Green came off the court, he was still unconvinced and was almost punished by the referee.
In this game, Draymond Green fouled Qin Yang toughly, and Al Jefferson and Draymond Green almost fought.
Fortunately, Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry pulled it, and Qin Yang also pulled Draymond Green.
Conflict is invisible.
On April 29, the Mavericks played the Warriors on the road, Game 4.
Stephen Curry exploded in the last game, shooting 10-of-20 from the field and 7-of-14 from three-point range, with an astonishing shooting percentage, and got super statistics of 33 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists.
But the king to the king, and the general to the general.
Qin Yang was 15-of-28 from the field, 8-of-15 from three-point range, and finished with 41 points, 11 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
Qin Yang erupted wildly and directly held the audience.
In the last game, the Warriors didn't want to be swept and played actively, but every time there was a sign of rising, they were suppressed by Qin Yang.
In the last two minutes, Qin Yang made a layup, an assist, and a block to help the team determine the situation.
In the end, the game was won 108-104.
The Mavericks swept away 4-0 to advance to Game 2.
In the first round of the playoffs, only the Mavericks showed their ability to destroy the withering and decaying.
Or on the other hand, experts and fans generally believe that the Warriors are not too strong in the West to put too much pressure on other teams, so a win for the Mavericks is expected.
Hehe!
Who knows better than anyone else about this thing.
Westward.
The Spurs played fiercely against the Trail Blazers.
The Trail Blazers broke out in two consecutive games and tied 2-2, but after that, the Spurs came out of their power and pressed two games in a row to successfully take the victory.
Lillard didn't step up in the playoffs, giving the impression that he couldn't put it down.
If he wants to become a superstar, Lillard undoubtedly has some way to go.
But the Trailblazers' combination of inside and outside is very exciting.
The Thunder vs. the Rockets, the problem is not very big, there is no problem with James Harden's strength, but the key is to incarnate Uchiha Harden, which makes people very speechless.
Without defense on the outside, the Rockets simply couldn't withstand it.
The rich and handsome Parsons is as good as ever, but the efficiency value and initiative have dropped a lot compared to before, and he is no longer diligent.
The Thunder went 4-2 and entered the second round of the playoffs.
The worst players in the West are the Nuggets and Clippers.
The Clippers Big Three faced the Nuggets Big Three and played very aggrieved.
The two teams battled for seven games, with the confrontation between the players, the scolding, the whistle problem, and finally Griffin's injury all the highlights of the game.
The game between the Clippers and the Nuggets has become the biggest attraction of this series.
In the final tie-break, Darko got a triple-double, and Iguodala's all-round data of 20+10+5+3 helped the team win.
Many pundits and fans are really justifying Iguodala at this time.
Iguodala is really strong, who strikes iron on the outside, a horse with high efficiency, and in addition, the offensive end does not drop the chain at critical moments.
All-round offensive and defensive, can be called the best two masters.
Eastern:
The Pacers eventually eliminated the Knicks 4-2.
The society melon is silent, Brother Gua did his best, don't blame the boss.
The Heat took the Hawks 4-1 and won relatively easily, but Wade and Bosh were already showing fatigue.
The Raptors and Bulls fought until the tiebreaker.
DeRozan played very well, and Kyle Lowry, who played very well in the regular season, played quite average in the playoffs.
So much so that in the last game, if it weren't for DeRozan's outstanding performance, if it weren't for the Bulls' successive iron strikes, the Bulls might have advanced to the second round.
The Raptors advanced in a thrilling way.
Of course, the worst of the players was Joe Johnson, not one.
