Chapter 282 The first round of the playoffs is over

The Spurs played very strongly as soon as they came up. Xiao Hang, Gay and Isaac contributed 5 dunks as soon as they came up.

The whole audience can be said to be excited.

This is of course what Popovich meant, playing the same opponent in the playoffs for two consecutive seasons.

The last time it was a 4-0 sweep, this time there is a high probability that it will end like this.

But the Jazz's players and coaches are not bad, and the pressure will naturally be great.

Popovich felt a bit aggressive. In the first game, he was the fastest to exaggerate the atmosphere of the home court, allowing the home fans to enter the playoff state in an instant, cheering for the home team and creating pressure for the visiting team.

Fans also have a playoff status. As the team plays better, this status will become stronger. An excellent team must have a group of excellent fans.

Looking around the Spurs' home court, too many fans held up 4-0 signs, saying that the Jazz players on the court did not see this must be a fake, and it was obviously the first game, so it was done like this, what is it? Everyone knows who planned it. This is the playoffs. There are double pressures on and off the court. Only those who pass the test of the playoffs are the real superstars.

It can be said that Mitchell was indeed born for the playoffs.

Although the Spurs put so much pressure, the entire Jazz team in the first quarter considered Mitchell's performance to be normal. He scored 7 of 4 and scored 8 points.

Under Xiao Hang's defense, Joe Ingles missed all his shots from outside the three-point line and only hit a mid-range one.

The second quarter started quickly. The Jazz didn't dare to go all-in on the main players. Mitchell was still on the court, and Gobert was also on the court at the same time. The Spurs played Adelaide here.

Adelaide can also open up a certain amount of space, but the speed is not as fast as Isaac, so Gobert can still deal with it.

The backcourt of Mills and Belinelli made Mitchell "show off his power" and finally caught up with some points, but it was only a little bit. The firepower of the Spurs bench was still good, and the offense was fairly smooth.

There were 8 and a half minutes left in the second quarter. When the Spurs supported Adelaide for free throws, they brought up the main players.

Mitchell continued to be on the court, and it seemed that he would not rest until the end of the first half.

The Spurs don't care about the Jazz's arrangements here.

In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and tricks are futile.

The gap between the Spurs and the Jazz is too big, just Xiao Hang can make the Jazz fall apart.

Xiao Hang led the whole team, and Isaac also fired various shots from beyond the three-point line.

One minute before the end of the second quarter, Isaac made 1 of 5 shots from beyond the three-point line, and made 3 breakthroughs and 2 free throws. In the first half, he scored a total of 2 points and 15 assists.

Xiao Hang scored 20 points in the first half, and these two scored 35 points. Counting other players, the Spurs scored 57 points in the first half.

The Jazz, who played against the Spurs thoroughly, conceded a lot of points, but their scoring was average, because the Spurs did not allow you to play against each other, and the defensive strength obviously did not drop. 44 points, a 13-point difference in the first half, Let the Jazz play extremely hard in the second half.

After all, leading by so many points, the initiative is all in the hands of the Spurs, and although Mitchell's personal performance is not bad, he did not connect the team, just blindly played singles.

Coach Brown led the 76ers to the finals, relying on the defense of the whole team, and Iverson scored alone.

However, your Jazz team is not defending now, how can you win?

Coach Schneider was a little helpless. He apologized to the players in the locker room and felt that they regained their defense. Defense is also the reason why they can play now, although the offensive end relies more on the explosion of players.

At the beginning of the second half, the Spurs players felt that something was wrong, and the Jazz players' actions on the defensive end were getting bigger and bigger.

All of this is acquiescence in the playoffs. The playoffs are not regular seasons. Tickets are sold in the regular season. The playoffs are championships, and tickets are sold by the way.

The Jazz's center has been replaced by Youdu, a super-mobile insider who weighs less than Xiao Hang, but has a height of 7 feet, fast speed, a small defense tool, and a good defensive block, but he is really too thin .

But now that a dead horse is being treated as a living horse doctor, Xiao Hang is a little uncomfortable with Youdu's playing. This is the first center forward who can keep up with his breakthrough speed, and the defensive area is still huge.

However, Xiao Hang discovered Yudu's weakness after a breakthrough. This confrontation is really weak...

After Xiao Hang confronted Yudu in the air, Yudu "flyed" away.

After seeing that Yudu was "ineffective", coach Schneider had no choice but to use limited resources to do his traditional defense against Xiao Hang.

After a timeout, Gobert reappeared. His only task was to wander around the paint to block Xiao Hang.

On the outside, Claude is responsible for defending against Xiao Hang, and then Ingles is ready to help defend at any time.

This is currently the best combination the Jazz can use to defend Xiao Hang.

Claude is strong and hesitant, and his height is not enough. Ingles's height is too slow, and everyone knows Gobert's weaknesses.

When Xiao Hang was defended like this for the first time, he didn't adapt, so he hit the iron ball.

Then in the next few times, I got used to it, called Isaac's cover, and got rid of Claude, and then Gobert couldn't save at this time, only Ingles.

Xiao Hang made a fake shot to trick Ingles into making a more fierce attack, and then accelerated his breakthrough. At this time, when Gobert came again, he would either play alone or pass to Gay or other players who were open.

It can be said that the Jazz dug a big hole for themselves in the first half and couldn't make up for it.

The rhythm of the game is all under the control of the Spurs, and there is no suspense in the game.

113 to 101, the Spurs won their first playoff victory by 12 points.

At the same time, the other three games were also decided. The Pelicans defeated the Thunder 107 to 104 at home. Westbrook is the team Westbrook fears the most. Although Paojiao scored 37 points, he was powerless to recover. Unless Westbrook explodes from the outside, but 8 of 2 from outside the three-point line, forget it.

Here in the East, the Raptors beat the Magic 110-100. Everyone knows DeRozan in the playoffs. Kawhi was another relaxed and happy coaching game. DeRozan only scored 17 of 5 of 12 shots in the game. Kawhi scored 19 points on 10 of 27 shots. The contrast is too strong and too obvious. The former trash brother is now an opponent. Lowry also scored 19 points and 10 assists. double double.

Another game in the Eastern Conference, the Green Kai and the Pistons, really hit the earth.

欧文爆砍43分11次助攻3次抢断，而格里芬砍下39分14个篮板7次助攻2次抢断2次封盖的全能数据。

In the end, the Pistons won the game by relying on Fournier, who was traded from the Magic, to hit Griffin's breakthrough three-pointer and win the game. The Green Kay's home court advantage was thus helplessly taken away.

The problem with the Pistons before was that they lacked a stable scoring point on the outside, but they didn't need a ball-holding point. A shooter like Fournier is what the Pistons need.
