Chapter 142 Playoff Debut
On the evening of April 4, the first round of the NBA playoffs officially kicked off.Of course, there is no Magic game where An Xiaonan is playing tonight. Their game will have to wait until tomorrow night against the Pacers at home.

An Xiaonan knew that he was inexperienced, so he and Roland watched one of the most important playoff games at home - the Philadelphia 76ers vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers at home.

An Xiaonan was taken aback by the enthusiastic atmosphere of the audience at the beginning of the game, and the playoffs were really extraordinary!It was just the first time I touched the ball, and the audience exploded with enthusiasm like seeing a dunk...

The biggest watch of the game-Ben Simmons vs LeBron James!

When it came to the playoffs, all the teams became completely different, and their defensive intensity suddenly went up a notch. Basically, they would defend close to each other after halftime...

In the playoffs, the confrontation between bodies has also become tougher, and the referee's scale for calling fouls has also been relaxed a lot.After all, this is the playoffs, and more attention should be paid to physical confrontation.

An Xiaonan focused on watching the TV screen, only to see that LeBron James was entangled by two people as soon as he received the ball in the mid-range position!

James' response seemed a bit hasty, obviously this was beyond his expectation.

James quickly passed the ball, and JR Smith missed a three-point shot.

Next came the 76ers' offense. Emperor Embiid played Kevin Love and directly gave the team the lead.The audience suddenly burst into thunderous shouts.

In the playoffs, James is finally going to give full play!Even in the face of a double team, James also played aggressiveness that he has never played in the regular season!
Directly control your 21 [-], reaching the inside is a forced layup.If you don't foul, I will score a goal, if you foul, I will make a free throw!
It's that simple and tough!
这招在短时间内的效果十分不错，第一节结束的时候詹姆斯一个人7投5中，罚球6罚4中砍下14分3个篮板3个助攻。

But he played 11 minutes.

An Xiaonan knew that in the playoffs, James would basically never rest.

Because as long as James is off the court, the lead the Cavaliers have finally established will be wiped out.

It can be said that James is fighting on his own, while the 76ers are all soldiers.

At halftime, the Cavaliers trailed the 52ers 56:76.

James' stats of 20+5+6 in the halftime can't save the Cavaliers. The offense of the Cavaliers' role players is really worrying...

As the game progressed to the fourth quarter, there were only three Cavaliers scoring in double figures, namely James, Kevin Love, and Tristan Thompson.

Others, JR is 7 for 1 three-pointers, Jeff Green is 5 for 1, etc... How do you hit this percentage?
最终这场比赛，詹姆斯一个人强行打出了42分11个篮板7个助攻5个失误的爆炸数据，但是，骑士却以98:105输给了76人。

大帝恩比德全场砍下22分11个篮板，西蒙斯砍下19分11个篮板11个助攻的三双数据。

James played 44 minutes...

An Xiaonan turned off the TV, leaned on the sofa and let out a long breath.

James played like this, but he still lost...

Is this the horror of the playoffs?

An Xiaonan couldn't imagine that the 33-year-old James still had such good physical strength.

He couldn't even imagine how tragic the game against the Pacers would be tomorrow morning.

I will definitely be strictly guarded by the opponent, my playoff experience is zero, do other teammates have it?

Obviously not, it can be said that if An Xiaonan carries the team by himself like James tomorrow night, and the other teammates play negatively, then losing this game is an inevitable result.

An Xiaonan decided not to think too much, and went to sleep after comforting Roland.After all, taking care of your mind and body is the most important thing.

The next night, An Xiaonan walked into the Amway Arena with a nervous mood.

At the press conference before the match, An Xiaonan told everyone very clearly that they would not let go of the two home victories.

The strength of the Pacers should not be underestimated. This year Oladipu can be said to have a second spring, and he is a well-known team leader in the Pacers.

His scoring ability is the top among the eastern guards.

In the playoffs, Magic fans were enthusiastic, and they were looking forward to seeing An Xiaonan's perfect performance.They filled the 7000-plus seats in Amway Arena during warm-ups and packed the stands on the top floor.

The moment An Xiaonan entered the arena, the audience burst into shouts of "MVP".

An Xiaonan scanned the auditorium of the entire arena, and put his right hand on his chest to soothe his agitated mood.

The game is just around the corner, and the big battle is coming!
An Xiaonan stepped onto the stage resolutely. He is now the master of the city, and he has the obligation to lead the city back to its glory.

To be honest, Oladipu is not afraid of the magic led by An Xiaonan at all. The members of this magic are very young, and they definitely don't have as much experience in the playoffs as he does.With this alone, Oladipu has the confidence to defeat the Magic.

The game will start soon, let me introduce the starting lineups of both sides:

Orlando Magic:
Point guard An Xiaonan,
Shooting guard Evan Fournier,
small forward Jonathan Simmons,
Power forward Aaron Gordon,
Center Nikola Vucevic.

Indiana Pacers:
Point guard Darren Collison,
shooting guard Victor Oladipo,
Small forward Bojan Bogdanovic,
Thaddeus Young, power forward,
Center Evan Turner.

The game starts, and the players of both sides jump the ball in the middle circle.

After An Xiaonan greeted Oladipu, he stood in his place.

Tonight's game means a lot to him, it is the first game of his first playoff trip in his life.

This is his playoff debut.

An Xiaonan can't let go of this opportunity, because all the teams participating in the playoffs have the same goal as An Xiaonan, only one.

That's the championship.

Vucevic defeated Evan Turner with a jump ball in the middle circle, and the audience burst into applause. Amidst the cheers, An Xiaonan became a commander, holding a magic wand in his hand to direct his teammates forward.

As soon as he came to the front court, An Xiaonan's expression couldn't help but change.

What I saw on TV is really different from what I experienced in reality. This is the defensive strength of the playoffs!
An Xiaonan couldn't adapt to the defensive intensity of the playoffs for a while. It seemed that everyone's defense was aimed at people instead of the ball...

Dang Dangdang, the inexperienced Magic directly hit three irons at the beginning of the game under such circumstances, An Xiaonan frowned. Compared with them, the Pacers were more than enough to face this situation.

Oladipu directly broke through the dunk!
