At the same time, in the fourth game of the playoffs opener, the Nuggets and Grizzlies, Anthony scored 35 points and also led the Nuggets to victory over the Grizzlies.
The media exclaimed, the players of the 03 world are platinum and gold, and the success rate of the 3 years after entering the league exceeds the 96 gold generation, which can even be comparable to the 84 diamond generation, and the four stars of the 03 world are now emerging in the playoffs, maybe 5 to 10 years later, their achievements can really be compared with the 84 world.
At the end of the tournament, the Warriors and Clippers will meet again the day after tomorrow, with a day off from the rest of the first round of the other four G1 games.
Among all the games in the first round, the game between the Mavericks and the Suns was the most concerned.
The game was played on the Mavericks' home court, with Nowitzki and Jason Terry as the two offensive arrows, and there were Starker House, Marquis Daniels, Eric Dampier and other dry welders on the bench.
The Mavericks and Suns really played offensive basketball, Steve Nash faced Jason Terry, and neither of them could guard the other.
The earth-shattering, weeping ghosts and gods of the two teams ran and bombarded, three points one after another on the outside, in this era, it is simply unbelievable way of playing, breaking many people's perception of the basketball game.
In the end, the Mavericks narrowly beat the Suns by 117-114 points at home, with Nowitzki scoring a game-high 37 points and Nash dishing out a game-high 15 assists.
The next day there was a game between the Spurs and Lakers in the West.
The Spurs, like the Pistons, have the most 3 stars above the S- level in the league, among which Duncan is the same as Kobe, the same league supergiant as S+, but now Kobe Bryant has the first rating in the league, and in terms of strength, he deserves to be the first.
There is a team of first people, and no one dares to underestimate them.
What's more, in addition to Kobe, the Lakers also have Odom, an A+-level star, and although the rest of the players are not good, they all have their own characteristics and have a skill.
The game was not one-sided, with Bryant leading the Lakers and even leading the Spurs by one point at halftime.
In the third quarter, the Lakers made consecutive mistakes, Kobe Bryant did not continue to shoot percent, and the Spurs took the opportunity to pull away the score, and then in the fourth quarter, the Spurs always led the Lakers by 5 to 7 points, and every time the Lakers were about to catch up, the Spurs had a way to score, and the Lakers' morale was constantly weakened.
In the end, the Spurs defeated the Lakers 107-102 at home, and Kobe Bryant only scored 27 points, which is a bit low for him who averaged 35.4 points per game in the regular season, but when facing the Spurs, and the defensive player is Bruce Bowen, the league's top defensive master, Kobe's score does not seem low.
In addition, the Pistons easily defeated the Bucks 92-74, and Bogut was bullied like a weak girl by Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace's double Wallace lineup, Big Ben grabbed 17 rebounds in this game alone, and the Bucks shot only 35.6 percent from the field as a whole.
The Pacers beat the Nets 90-88, the strength of the Nets is not weak at all, Kidd and Carter have not been plagued by injuries this season, the strength level is maintained at the S level, and there is gradually some cooperation, and the Pacers are the old strong team in the East, after sending Artest away, O'Neal Jr., Jackson and Peja's lineup is also very strong and balanced.
On the third game day of the playoffs, the Warriors ushered in the G2 game against the Clippers at home.
After winning the first game, the Warriors' odds dropped further, and the bookmakers were not optimistic that the Clippers could win on the Warriors' home court.
But Yang Di and others did not dare to take it lightly, there are in the NBA, and series on the following grams abound.
At the beginning of the G2 game, Yang Di overturned the river and the sea on the inside line of the Clippers, bombing wildly, scoring 13 points in a single quarter, leading the Warriors to lead the Clippers by 4 points 29-25 in a single quarter.
Yang Di had no expression on his face, and his heart blossomed, in the first quarter, Carman fouled twice, Brand fouled twice, and even Rebsala, who came off the bench, also carried a foul, and the Clippers encountered a foul crisis inside, and the next defense will be more difficult.
Margety became the Clippers' best player on the outside, a player who was not very well received by Dunleavy Sr., breaking through the Warriors' outside defense time and time again, even if he had a bad overall view and little outside playmaking ability, it also made the Warriors' defense find some subtle changes and create better opportunities for others.
Cassel was a little weak against Byron Davis' defense, and Byron Davis scored 10 points in a single quarter.
Before halftime, Yang Di slipped to the bottom line and cut into the air, Davis sent a pass directly outside the three-point line, and Yang Di moved sideways in the air after grabbing the basketball, and dunked with both hands.
The Warriors lead the Clippers by nine points 59-50.
The fans in the stadium raised their arms and cheered, unlike last year's Warriors vs. Spurs' entanglement, this year's Warriors faced the Clippers from Los Angeles, playing with ease, and the strength was obviously higher than the opponent, the Clippers' most painful thing was that they couldn't prevent the Warriors' pick-and-roll offense, Byron Davis and Yang Di are two of the strongest players in the league, just like the Jazz in the new era, and more dynamic.
"If the Clippers lose this game, every game back in Los Angeles will be a life-or-death battle for the Clippers, and the Warriors will only need to win one of them."
TNT's Barkley predicts that the Warriors will eventually reach the Western Conference Finals, "Look at their second-round opponents, the Nuggets or the Grizzlies, it's not that these two teams are too weak, but in the West, they are close to the top eight teams in the bottom half of the league, the Warriors will play two first-rounders, and there is no problem at all in entering the Western Conference finals." ”
Barkley also boldly predicted that the Suns would eventually meet the Warriors and the Western Conference Finals, "Stephen Nash is the most creative player I've ever seen, the Suns are morale-boosting, and although the Mavericks are leading now, the Suns have more stars and are significantly stronger. ”
In the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, the Warriors led by nearly 15 points, and Yang Di and other main players walked off the court to rest.
Montgomery was replaced by a group of young Warriors such as Monta Ellis, Trevor Ariza, David Lee and others, and Yang Di high-fived them one by one.
In the end, the Warriors still won 110-97 with the Clippers, winning two consecutive games at home to lead the Clippers 2-0 in the series.
