I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 239 The playoffs start

On April 4, the high-profile playoffs officially started.

In the East, the first teams to play are the Heat, the Numbers, the Celtics, and the Knicks.

In the West, the first teams to appear are: Mavericks, Nuggets, Lakers, and Trail Blazers.

After these four games, there were no upsets, and the top-ranked teams all won.

Among them, the game between the Mavericks and the Nuggets was a carnage.

In the playoffs, the Mavericks stopped pretending and had a showdown. They showed super strength and beat the Nuggets to the point where they couldn't fight back.

Dayao felt the strength of his teammates and felt happy.

He didn't play so easily in the Mosaic team before, even if he tried his best, he couldn't break through the first round.

If he had known that this was the case, he should have agreed to Kobe's invitation in the first place. The championship was not yet within his reach.

After the first game, Dayao was full of confidence and followed the team towards his first championship.

……

On April 4, the playoffs continued in full swing.

However, it was different from the first day. This day was full of surprises.

The first game was played between the Bulls and the Pacers.

The two sides played extremely anxiously, and the game was dragged into overtime before the result was determined.

In the end, the Pacers defeated the Bulls 105-101.

Paul George, who played in the playoffs for the first time as a rookie, performed well.

Although his offense was a mess, his defense was very good. He prevented Rose's breakthrough at the critical moment and helped the Pacers win.

What follows is the game between the Magic and the Eagles.

Even though Howard scored a double-double with 46 points and 19 rebounds, the Magic failed to defeat the Hawks and lost the game in an upset.

Then, it was the turn of the western game to start.

The first game was between the Spurs and the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies relied on their iron-blooded defense to narrowly defeat the Spurs by 3 points and get a good start in the playoffs.

Ginobili's absence is really hurt for the Spurs. Fortunately, he can come back to the Savior in the next game.

Three consecutive top-half teams lost, allowing fans to discover their blind spots.

If the Warriors lose to the Thunder, all of today's top teams will be dead.

The big news of a collective upset loss is very likely to happen, because the strength of the Warriors and the Thunder is similar, and anyone is likely to win.

Under such circumstances, the match between the Warriors and the Thunder suddenly heated up, and there are many things to watch.

The Oracle Arena is now packed to the rafters.

In the auditorium, the fans wore the Warriors' home jerseys, turning into a sea of ​​gold.

On the Warriors bench, Curry was wearing a small suit with a smile on his face.

Although he cannot play, he can contribute to the team in other ways.

Amid the enthusiastic cheers and shouts of the fans, the pre-match opening ceremony began.

After the opening ceremony, the starting players of both sides were displayed on the big screen.

Thunder starting lineup: Westbrook, Sefoloza, Durant, Ibaka, Perkins.

Warriors starting lineup: Morrow, Tony Allen, Sun Yi, David Lee, Chandler.

In the jump ball session, Chandler took off vigorously and was the first to hit the basketball and return to the backcourt, giving the Warriors the first chance to attack.

After receiving the ball, Morrow quickly dribbled forward to the frontcourt.

Sun Yi immediately ran forward and started a pick-and-roll.

Just when the Thunder thought that the Warriors were going to play a dislocation singles tactic, Morrow bypassed the pick-and-roll and took off directly to shoot.

Sefoloza has been guarding against Sun Yi's inward cut, and did not step forward to change defense in time.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

0: 3!

There was thunderous applause in the auditorium, and cheers and shouts resounded through the arena.

"Although this shot was unreasonable, the Warriors' offense has to be played this way."

In the commentary hall of the sports channel, Director Zhang, who served as a guest commentator, expressed his views.

On the court, Westbrook dribbled to the three-point line. When he saw Tony Allen guarding the free throw line, he was not angry, but patiently organized the offense.

In the high post area on the right, Durant leaned on Sun Yi and reached for the ball.

Other Thunder players opened up the space and created singles opportunities for Durant.

Durant received the pass and felt the defensive pressure brought by Sun Yi behind him. He had no way to turn around and could only dribble forward to open up space.

Sun Yi immediately followed up and defended closely, not giving Durant a chance to turn around easily.

Seeing Sun Yi sticking to him like a dog's skin plaster, Durant couldn't get rid of it. He felt inexplicably annoyed, and then passed the ball to Westbrook.

The turtle was not polite after receiving the ball, and directly started to break through the penalty area.

Teacher Tony immediately moved laterally to block the ball and defended beside Westbrook.

Westbrook carried Teacher Tony and broke through to the mid-range area on the right, stopped and shot a mid-range jumper.

Teacher Tony immediately stopped backing and rushed forward to interfere.

Clang!
The basketball bounced out of the hoop and missed!
Under the basket, Chandler grabbed the backcourt rebound, found Sun Yi immediately, and passed the ball over.

Sun Yi received the pass, launched a defensive counterattack, and under the effect of the badge [King of Counterattack], he pushed forward like lightning.

Durant, who was retreating, saw this situation and immediately ran forward to block Sun Yi, hoping to delay Sun Yi's advancement.

Seeing Durant attacking, Sun Yi, who was advancing quickly with a dribble, immediately made a change of direction without slowing down, and rushed past Durant like passing a wooden stake.

The fans in the audience gasped when they saw the scene on the field.

Is this something a forward can do? !

Back on the field, Sun Yi entered the penalty area from the right, and after attracting the attention of the defense, he passed the ball to the center.

David Lee, who followed up, received the pass comfortably, took a step forward, flew to the layup and scored.

"Good shot! This kind of cooperation, I really won't get tired of it no matter how many times I watch it!"

In the on-site commentary seat, Mike Breen, the gold medal commentator, said with emotion.

On the court, Sun Yi high-fived David Lee, and then exchanged a few words with Teacher Tony while retreating.

"Tony, remember the defensive tactics assigned by the coach before the game."

"Sun, don't worry! I will complete the task."

After Teacher Tony finished speaking, he ran forward and pressed the whole court to consume Westbrook's energy.

Westbrook protected the ball with one hand and pressed Tony Allen with the other, advancing steadily toward the frontcourt.

After coming to the front court, the Turtle saw that Durant failed to run out of the opportunity, so he beckoned inside and called for pick-and-roll cooperation.

Perkins quickly ran up from near the penalty area to make a good pick-and-roll cooperation.

Chandler didn't follow out, and stayed at the front of the right side of the penalty area, always ready to switch defenses.

Westbrook quickly bypassed the screen and broke into the three-point line.

Teacher Tony quickly squeezed through the pick-and-roll to chase the defense.

Westbrook broke through to the free throw line and saw that there were Warriors players in the penalty area, so he gave up his plan to make a strong breakthrough and directly "zombie jump shot".

At this moment, Teacher Tony rushed over and rushed to interfere from the side.

After the ball was disturbed, the shot was short, and the basketball directly hit the front of the basket and bounced out.

The Warriors protected the backcourt rebound and launched a defensive counterattack.

Sun Yi received the pass and took the lead in dribbling toward the frontcourt.

The Thunder's players retreated quickly, each marking their own defender.

Sun Yi dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, made a feint to shake off the defender, accelerated into the penalty area, attracted the defense and passed the ball to the right corner.

Morrow, who just ran to the bottom corner on the right, received the pass and immediately took off to shoot.

"when!"

The basketball knocked out of the frame and bounced away.

"Unfortunately, the opportunity has come up, but I just couldn't grasp it." Director Zhang said regretfully.

Under the basket, Perkins, who retreated back from the defense, used the tonnage to get stuck in his position, excitedly preparing to jump and grab the rebound.

Just at this moment, a figure wearing the No. 10 jersey rushed to the highest point, and dunked the popped ball into the basket through Perkins.

There was a tsunami-like cheers and shouts in the auditorium.

On the Thunder bench, head coach Scott Brooks saw that the situation on the court was not good and immediately requested a timeout and called the players back to the bench to adjust.
