The NBA played its first day of playoffs today.
Seven or eight players from the East and West will play against each other, with the winner advancing, and the loser competing with the nine or ten winners of the East and West for the final playoff promotion.
Today's two games, the seventh double in the East and West wins, taking the lead in qualifying.
Want to know what great stats the players have played in the game? Let's take a look at the NBA Red and Black List.
Special Red List: Destroy opponents in the first 12 shots Irving enters supergiant mode
Irving (Brooklyn Nets): 34 points, 3 rebounds, 12 assists, 1 steal, 4 turnovers, 12-of-15, 3-of-6 three-pointers, 7-of-7 from the free throw line, plus-minus +2 efficiency. This is the first player in the NBA to score at least 30 points and 10 assists with at least 80 percent shooting in the NBA after LeBron James' quarantine game that year.
In the first half, 9 of 9, all the first 12 shots hit, it is with such Irving that Durant has the courage to directly face the Celtics after winning the playoff promotion.
Special Red List: He is the Timberwolves True Core Downs was sent off but activated the strongest Huazi
Edwards (Minnesota Timberwolves): 30 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 2 turnovers, 10-of-21, 5-of-11 three-pointers, 5-of-6 from the free throw line, plus-minus +4 efficiency. Downs was sent off to ignite Edwards' small universe, and he scored 10 points in the final quarter to help the Timberwolves complete the reversal.
In fact, after Towns was sent off, Edwards, along with Russell, led the Timberwolves to a 23-11 surge.
It felt like someone was dragging Edwards' hind legs.
Red list: Garland scored to force Adu Owen Peppers against the Timberwolves golden body was broken
Cavaliers 108-115 Nets
Garland (Cleveland Cavaliers): 34 points, 1 rebound, 5 assists, 2 steals, 6 turnovers, 13-of-24, 3-of-6 three-pointers, 5-of-6 from the free throw line, -11 plus-minus efficiency. Garland is not inferior in data, whether compared with Durant or Irving, but there is no second star around Garland, and Durant and Irving's double fist attack makes the Cavaliers lose one or the other.
Durant (Brooklyn Nets): 25 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals, 3 blocks, 1 turnover, 9-of-16, 1-of-2 three-pointer, plus or minus +16 efficiency. In the last two games, Durant has delivered a total of 27 assists. Durant told everyone that he would not only score stupidly, but if the opponent defended Durant with multiple players, he would definitely pay the price.
After the game, Durant dismissed teammate Bruce Brown's evaluation of the Celtics and said that no matter what lineup the opponent was, it was enough to play on the court. It can be seen that Durant is full of confidence in the current state of the Nets.
Bruce Brown (Brooklyn Nets): 18 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals, 3 turnovers, 8-of-19, 2-of-6 three-pointers, +16 plus/minus efficiency. Today, in addition to Durant and Irving, Bruce Brown's data is once again terrifying. 18 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists, can be fully understood as a quasi-triple-double, and there are 3 steals, offensive and defensive ends, Brown's contribution is very comprehensive.
Clippers 104-109 Timberwolves
Paul George (Los Angeles Clippers): 34 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 3 turnovers, 10-of-24, 6-of-12 three-pointers, 8-of-11 from the free throw line, plus-minus -5 efficiency. This season's Pepper regular season against the Timberwolves 3 wins and 0 losses, but unfortunately in the late playoffs, watching the other side directly advance.
Fortunately, the Clippers still have a chance, and Paul George has one more game to save the Clippers.
Russell (Minnesota Timberwolves): 29 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, 1 turnover, 10-of-18, 3-of-5 three-pointers, 6-of-8 free throws, plus or minus +12 efficiency. Looking at the data, Russell and Edwards are the biggest contributors to the Timberwolves' win. But there's one statistic that tells us something different, that in Beverley's career, he made it to the playoffs with the team every season of his health. And today Beverley's passionate performance on the court has been reported by many media in the NBA, such a player, which everyone cannot ignore. In Beverley's career, he only didn't make the playoffs in 2018, when he played just 11 games with injury.
The Timberwolves advance from the playoffs, they will play the Grizzlies, Morant should be careful.
Black List: Curry Jr. quickly finds his brother to get the experience After Downs' punishment, the Timberwolves became stronger
Osman (Cleveland Cavaliers): 2 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 0 turnovers, 0-of-4, 0-of-2 from three-point range, 2-of-2 from the free throws, -4-plus-minus efficiency. Expecting Osman to go to the rescue, he did not expect that the rescue was not saved, but it made the situation of the knight worse and worse.
Seth Curry (Brooklyn Nets): 0 points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 turnover, 0-of-4, 4-of-0 three-pointers, +5 plus-minus efficiency. How to play in the playoffs, how to play the key ball, Seth Curry has to learn from his brother.
Towns (Minnesota Timberwolves): 11 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 4 turnovers, 6 free throws, 3 of 11, 2 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 4 from the free throw line, -14 plus-minus efficiency. In three of the four games against the Clippers this season, Towns has only shot just 32 percent of the way, and today Towns was just as bad. So much so that Clippers head coach Tyrone Lu was upset after the game: Towns didn't do a little better than they did.
