I Don’t Want to be the Boss

Angry, but Hornacek had already guessed what would happen to the Grizzlies.

Although Hornacek made a big promise before the start of the playoffs, it also put a lot of pressure on the players and hoped that this group of young players could perform well in the first playoffs, but he did not. Think about what can be done.

If their own young players can play a long time anxious state with the Grizzlies under such a big difference in strength, just like the first half, and under that confrontation, they can improve themselves, gain experience in dealing with superstars, and understand themselves. The gap with the real strong team... Hornacek felt that this was enough.

There is no suspense. In the fourth quarter, Paul George and Randolph lined up. Paul George scored 10 points and 4 assists in a single quarter, Randolph 6 points and 5 rebounds in a single quarter. The Grizzlies scored 29-28 in the final quarter.

In the end, the Grizzlies beat the Suns 114 to 90 and won the first win in the series.

...

After the Grizzlies and Suns game, the first game of the series between the Bulls and Knicks in the East started.

Relying on Griffin's 41 points and 22 rebounds, Rose's 23 points, 13 assists and 4 steals, the Bulls easily and smoothly won their first victory 116-92.

Seeing that Ariza and Lopez Jr. are shining with the Bulls, the Knicks have already regretted trading Noah with these two men. Although Noah still looks good, their starting center for the Bulls is Howard, Noana’s defensive core play style, even if Howard is willing to play a blue-collar power forward, he can’t cooperate!

In terms of strength, Noah is currently stronger than Lopez Jr., but it is clear that Lopez’s athletic ability is more suitable for the Knicks.

The first game of the series between the 76ers and the Heat followed.

After a **** battle, the 76ers narrowly beat the Heat 103-99 at home and won their first win in the series.

Paul’s fate...Josh Smith collapsed at 30. After his athletic ability declined, all technical but not proficient flaws were exposed. It is difficult for Wade to expect him to make more contributions in the playoffs. Paul's current situation is similar to his last year or two with the former Hornets, who can only take the team to the second half of the playoffs.

With the same play style and better skills, Paul has a much lower limit on the team's strength than James. Directly speaking, it is the gap between the MVP and the MVP. Physical fitness is indeed one thing that cannot be overcome in competitive sports. .

Whether it is static physical fitness or dynamic physical fitness, Paul and James have a clear gap, which can be intuitively seen from the record of leading the team alone.

The first seven series of the first round were all played, and all teams with good records won.

But in tonight's finale, the Thunder and the Trail Blazers game, the Thunder lost 102 to 108 at home to the Trail Blazers, and was defeated!

Lillard had 26 points and 13 assists, McCollum had 17 points, Whiteside had 14 points, 22 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 steal. Capella, who came off the bench, scored a team-high 31 for the Trail Blazers under Lillard's feeding. There are 6 boards and 4 blocks!

The Trail Blazers were being beaten by the Thunder. The whole team was in a state of rage and seized the defensive tendencies of the Thunder. No one on the Thunder team was in charge of Capela. Capela, who had no chance to perform in the regular season, Become famous in the playoffs!

Whiteside's mid- and close-range blocking, basket defense, coupled with Capela's mobility, played a dominant defense in the interior! Although Durant scored a career-high 48 points tonight in the playoffs, Westbrook only scored 6 points. Although he had 7 rebounds and 11 assists, his performance was really bad.

Kanter's performance was also terrible, with 4 points and 6 rebounds, which did not play a strong role at all. You must know that before the start of the playoffs, when the media analyzed the Thunder, they thought Kanter would be the one inside to determine the outcome.

So far, the first round of the first round of all series is over. The strength of the top two teams in the east and west is obvious. It seems that there is no suspense. In the eyes of the media and fans, the Lakers, Knicks, Suns and Pistons There is no chance to comeback.

However, the series of the third to sixth teams in the East and the West seems to be very suspenseful. The Mavericks, Trail Blazers, Heat, and Nets are not without the possibility of defeating them, and the Trail Blazers have already won one. Up.

Some fans regret that if Bosh does not have hereditary blood diseases, blood clots and blood clots, Bosh’s style is very suitable for today’s small ball era, the Mavericks have one more All-Star player, they and the Spurs The strength of will definitely be closer.

But whether it is basketball or life, there are many regrets. The Mavericks have been busy for so long and still failed to create the opportunity for Nowitzki to compete at the end of his career like Duncan, which can only be regretted.

"We have an advantage in the first round... I think we should have an advantage against any opponent, because we are the strongest team, but we can't care about it. The more we have an advantage, the less we can care about it. If we even have an advantage in the series We all lost the game, and I think I can retire wherever I go..."

In the morning of April 17, during the Grizzlies team meeting, team leader Paul George was impassionedly urging his teammates not to be careless.

As for the establishment of ~www.readwn.com~, it really stimulated the teammates, but Sun Ce estimated that if he really lost it to the extreme, this guy would definitely assume that he hadn't said anything.

The Grizzlies have no games today and tomorrow. The first, second, seventh and eighth teams in the East and West Division will have to rest for two days after the first game. This 13-14 season will be implemented for the top two teams in the East and West Division. The new playoff game system that adds more advantages has been widely recognized. A team with a good record should have an advantage. Otherwise, the record is so good for what it used to. There was only one home court advantage before, but now it has just become more reasonable.

This kind of competition system makes the first and second teams less likely to be upset, because there is more time to prepare, even if they are caught off guard at the beginning, one day more time to prepare will be more likely to be the first two. The strength advantage of the first name is shown. After all, there must be a difference in strength between the top two and the bottom two. As long as you think of a way to deal with the opponent's target, it is not difficult to win. Moreover, even the seventh and eighth teams have no opinion. .

As players, there is no reason to feel that they are bad. They also look forward to one day winning the division championship and the regular season championship. Then they will have the advantage.

There is no game, and the Grizzlies did not have a holiday in the playoffs. Just like last season’s playoffs, after starting a series, the Grizzlies started "closed management" and devoted themselves to preparing for the next game. in!
