NBA: Booker’s template, female stars are all power banks

November 4th, US time

The 18-19 NBA playoffs have officially begun!

The first game was arranged between the Golden State Warriors, who were second in the Western Conference, and the Denver Nuggets, who were seventh in the Western Conference.

The Big Five of the Golden State Warriors did not give the young Denver Nuggets any chance to resist.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Nuggets with a huge margin of 23 points at the Oracle Center Arena, easily winning their first victory in the playoffs!

After the defending champion made his debut.

In the East, the second-ranked Boston Celtics also faced the challenge of the Indiana Pacers at their home court.

With Kyrie Irving, Horford, Hayward, Tatum, Brown, Morris, Rochell and many other young talents, they have not performed as well as they should this season.

On the contrary, conflicts between the teams continued and the atmosphere in the locker room was tense.

This also resulted in them only ranking second in the Eastern Conference.

But even though there were many conflicts between the players, the Celtics did restrain themselves a lot after coming to the playoffs.

最终在凯里欧文熟练地轰下33分4篮板4助攻的表现之后，波士顿凯尔特然在自己主场以110:102，拿下开门红！

Compared with the game itself, what attracts the most attention to reporters and media is:

Irving rejected the Celtics' early offer of a contract extension and will exercise his player option for next season.

"Our first priority right now is the playoffs!"

After the game, in an interview with reporters, Irving said seriously: "I will focus all my attention on the playoffs. As for other issues, I will consider them after the playoffs are over."

Although Irving's words are reasonable, they have also attracted speculation from many media fans.

someone said:

"Irving doesn't get the respect he deserves from the Boston Celtics, so leaving is inevitable!"

"Under Stevens' system, Irving is not the core of the tactics!"

Some people say:

"Man, where can Irving go if he leaves Boston?"

"Boston is still the best destination for Irving!"

In addition to the Warriors and Nuggets, Celtics and Pacers, there are two other groups of showdowns that ended today.

The Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder at home. The performance of both players was very impressive, but the performance of Lillard + CJ McCollum was even stronger.

"I know what people are talking about. They think we will be defeated by the Thunder!"

Lillard, who was interviewed after the game, smiled: "Look! We will tell you with practical actions why Portland is third in the Western Conference!"

This year's Blazers are really strong.

Without the sudden emergence of the Los Angeles Clippers, they would have been the top two team in the Western Conference.

And will avoid the Golden State Warriors before the conference finals.

In Ye Huan's memory, in the original timeline, this season's Trail Blazers made it all the way to the Western Conference Finals and faced off against the Warriors before losing.

So

Cousin Lillard dared to say such cruel words after the end of the first round of G1, there is indeed nothing wrong with him!

In the last game, the Milwaukee Bucks, number one in the Eastern Conference, pinned the Detroit Pistons to the ground.

Sitting at home, they showed no mercy at all. They defeated the team 118:90 with 28 points, crushing them mercilessly.

“I’m already studying the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers!”

The Greek monster Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was interviewed by the media after the game, put the word "sor" in his face: "We have no opponents in the East!"

Before meeting Leonard, Antetokounmpo did have a lot of confidence.

In the original timeline, the Milwaukee Bucks this season were indeed a monster in the Eastern Conference.

They successfully advanced to the conference finals without losing a game in the first two rounds, where they faced off against the Toronto Raptors.

but.....

Everything was crushed by Leonard!

In Ye Huan's view, Kawhi who can play in the playoffs is indeed the league's top superstar!

The first day of the playoffs ends

November 4th, US time

The day after the playoffs started, the Houston Rockets led the way!

The Rockets, led by the "Light Bulb" combination, did not disappoint the fans who supported them.

Although it is a battle between fourth and fifth in the Western Conference, the Utah Jazz, who are nearly 8 games behind, are no match for them.

Mitchell, who entered the playoffs for the second consecutive year, was ruthlessly crushed by James Harden at the same position.

In the end, this game was also dominated by the Houston Rockets. The Utah Jazz raised the white flag in the third quarter and announced their surrender in advance.

It is worth mentioning that during the game, the Jazz chose the strategy of backhand defense when facing Harden's offense...

The two sides in the second game are: Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets.

Facing the young Nets, the 76ers had no intention of showing mercy.

Easily defeating their opponents at home, the 76ers Galaxy Battleships got a good start in the playoffs!

The results of the first six first-round games did not surprise people.

On the contrary, Toronto, which has the God of War card, suddenly made the fans shout unexpectedly!

The Raptors, third in the Eastern Conference, encountered the Oakland Magic at their home court.

即便是莱昂纳德单场轰下38分8篮板4助攻2盖帽4抢断的战神表现，但魔术全队五人得分上双，凭借着108:103的5分优势，击败对手。

The Raptors' failure has also become the subject of heated discussion among many media and fans.

"Today, Leonard performed a great performance both offensively and defensively!"

"But the problem is that, except for him, the Raptors' outside shooters are not playing well!"

"This is why the Toronto Raptors were defeated!"

"Yes, look at the performance of these shooters!"

Just like the experts say.

The Raptors' group of outside shooters in this game absolutely performed at a disaster level.

Danny Green made 7 of 1 three-pointers

Van Jordan made 5 of 0 three-pointers

Lowry made 4 of 1 three-pointers

"Except for the Golden State Warriors, no one will be optimistic about the jump shooting team in the playoffs!"

After the game, O'Neal looked serious in the TNT commentary box: "Look at the Toronto Raptors and you will know that jump shots are not the key to winning the playoffs!"

Smith paused at this point.

The Toronto Raptors are not the only team relying on long-range shooting this season!

Ranked first in the Western Conference, the Los Angeles Clippers, with Ye Huan, accounted for more long-range shots than the Warriors and Raptors.

"Now, the whole world is not optimistic about the Los Angeles Clippers!"

Barkley on the side said what O'Neal didn't want to say: "Many people will think that the Clippers will follow in the footsteps of the Raptors and encounter a game with inaccurate perimeters!"

"You have underestimated Ye Huan's abilities!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the world-class Ye Chui Smith had to say: "I have great faith in Ye Huan and I am absolutely optimistic about the Los Angeles Clippers!"

"The Los Angeles Clippers are not a team that only knows how to shoot from the outside!"

"Smith, you have to know that they can be impeccable in the regular season!"

"But can such an unstable offensive method really win in the playoffs? Besides, they are still facing the veteran Spurs!"

After saying these words, even Smith fell into silence.

The Toronto Raptors' defeat was more than just an upset.

More, it reflects a real phenomenon.

The Raptors and Clippers are not Warriors. They don't have that many outside scoring points.

The Los Angeles Clippers' playoff journey may not be as simple as people think!
