But the league's best team isn't in the ranks.

In the league's All-NBA team, Jokic was named to the All-NBA Second Team, and Butler was named to the All-Defensive Team first.

The Heat didn't cause much disruption to the Nets, and after four games, the Nets had swept their opponents to advance to the second round.

The Cavaliers and Warriors also swept their opponents in the first round, and although the regular season was a bit short of what fans expected, they were still solid in the playoffs.

In the other group in the first round, the Wizards defeated the Hawks 4-2, and Washington played the Nets again after a two-year absence; The Raptors beat the Bucks 4-2 and they played against the Cavaliers for the second year in a row; When the Clippers led 3-2, the Jazz pulled 2 games in a row and unfortunately went out; The Rockets took out the Thunder 4-1.

Except for the Clippers' exit, which was a little surprising, the results of the other groups were similar to expected.

Two years ago, the Wizards and the Nets went out of the game, and they obviously came with a revenge mentality when they met again, and Wall and Beal were also full of confidence.

Of the four giants in the East and West, the Nets are the only one that doesn't have a supergiant, which is also a source of confidence for them.

But once the game started, the Nets proved why they would be No. 1 in the East.

The high-pressure defense locked the Wizards' two shots, and the strength of Jokic and Booker on the offensive end made the Wizards' defense take care of one or the other.

4-1, apart from stealing a win at home, the Wizards didn't pose much of a threat to the Nets.

In the other group of matchups in the East, the Cavaliers swept the Raptors 4-0 in a somewhat unexpected way, and their form in the playoffs was as good as the regular season.

This kind of performance also makes fans look forward to the East Finals.

The Eastern Cavaliers Nets met for the third year in a row, and as fans expected, the results in the West were similar, with the Warriors comfortably sweeping the Jazz 4-0 and the Spurs, who eliminated the Rockets 4-2, in the Western Conference finals.

The four most favoured and also the best teams will eventually win in the divisional finals.

The Warriors and Spurs started the game.

The two teams were extremely intense from the start, Aldridge and Leonard's two guns and the Warriors' four big battles back and forth, and Ginobili and Jonathan Simmons on the bench helped the Spurs establish a big advantage, and at the end of the first half, the Spurs unexpectedly led the Warriors by 20 points at 62-42.

This performance is also a big surprise, considering that the Warriors have Curry and Durant, who are in the top three MVP rankings, as well as Green and Thompson.

However, in the third quarter of the game, the situation changed abruptly, Splash and Durant continued to fire, and the Warriors pressed the score to about 10 points.

The Spurs were a little overwhelmed, and at this moment there was an accident on the court, Leonard stepped on Zaza Pachuria's feet when he fell, fell to the ground with a painful expression, and was driven directly to the locker room by the team doctor and staff.

Leonard's injury directly changed the situation on the court, and despite the heroic performances of Aldridge and Ginobili, they could not stop the Warriors' tidal attack, and finally lost 111-113.

The lead was 20 points ahead and the loss of the first game, and to make matters worse, Leonard tested positive for the MRI after the game, which was immediately reimbursed for the season.

Video replays after the game showed that Pachulia was a big stumbling suspect in the defense, and he and the Warriors were the target for a while.

But the tide of abuse can't change the situation in the Western Conference finals, and Leonard's injury retirement has already announced the Spurs' early exit.

The first game of the Western Conference finals was full of saliva, which also made the game between the Cavaliers and the Nets attract much attention.

The first game was at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, where the Nets played at home.

The Cavaliers' strength in the first two rounds made fans look forward to their performance in the Eastern Conference finals.

But when the game actually started, they found that the result was very different from what they expected.

In other words, the first two rounds of the first two rounds were nothing more than a weak relationship between the opponents.

The Nets have not changed much in the roster for two years, and their strength and chemistry have reached a peak, and they are well-balanced on both offensive and defensive ends.

On the other hand, the Cavaliers maintained the same level on the offensive end as last year, but the defense dropped too much.

In the past, there was only one Irving who could be used as a breakthrough, but now all other positions except James are breakthroughs, Smith was passed by DeLong in various steps, and after Lefu lost weight, he was beaten by Yi Jianlian and Jokic in the low post, and even Thompson lost his true colors as a frontcourt board maniac.

126-113, the Nets won by 13 points in their first game, and the Cavaliers' defense made the Nets play a super-level offense, Deron became Harden, Booker became Klay Thompson, and Jokic became Abdul-Jabbar.

Completely different from last year's anxious situation, after the first battle of the East-West Duel, the situation has basically become clear.

The Spurs, who lost Leonard, had little to parry in front of the Warriors.

136 to 100, 120 to 108, 129 to 115.

Without Leonard, there is no one to restrict Durant at all, and Durant cannot be restricted, and it has become a luxury to prevent splashes.

The Spurs are like infantry that can only raise shields, being chopped down by enemies with giant axes until the moment the shield breaks.

In four slaughtering games, although the regular season performance was a little up and down, when it came to the playoffs, there was really no one who was the opponent of the Warriors.

4-0, the Warriors are undefeated in the Western Conference and are strong in the Finals with a 12-0 record.

In contrast, the Eastern Conference finals were a bit more up-and-down, and James's bravery still allowed the Cavaliers to win two games at home, but the poor defense still made them lose in the end.

The big score of 2-4 also reflects the current situation of the two teams.

In other words, the Cavaliers' defense allowed them to play only 80% on paper, while the Nets had a 110% bonus offense in the face of the Cavaliers' poor defense, and the victory or loss was expected.

Someone has to blame for consecutive defeats, and fans can't help but complain about the team's defensive problems in addition to complaining about the poor ability of new coach Tyronn Lue, and Irving has become the scapegoat.

As the team's top guard, his average of 22 points per game in the series can only be regarded as mediocre, and his 45% shooting rate is not as good as in the regular season, and being beaten by Delon in the matchup is the most complained about by fans.

"If our point guard is DeLong, should we be the ones who make it to the Finals?"

"The Cavaliers' consecutive losses to the Nets without a superstar show that their combination has failed, and while Irving still has some trade value, hurry up and replace it with a star who is better defensively, and it turns out that no defense is deadly in the playoffs."

"Irving and Love have really bad defensive problems, LeBron has to attack and defend at the same time, and his performance makes us forget that he is a 33-year-old man in his thirties."
