On April 15, Beijing time, the NBA did not schedule a game today, and there are two play-off games that will start tomorrow, the Hawks vs Cavaliers, the Pelicans vs. Clippers. And just today, the alliance has 3 important news out, below, the author for everyone to inventory one by one introduction. First, congratulations to the Nets, Simmons will return in the first round. Second, Doncic's injury is out and he will miss the first round of G1. Third, Maddy founded a new league and called on Yao Ming to help him enter the Chinese market.
First, it was revealed that Simmons will play in the first round
The Nets reached the playoffs as seventh in the East through the playoffs, and before the first round started, Brown Jr. and Jaylen Brown shouted in the air, full of gunpowder, believing that the Nets and Celtics game would be the most intense series in the first round. On the Nets side, KD and Irving are in good shape, and everyone is curious whether the Nets' third giant Simmons will come back, since joining the Nets, he has not played, as if he is injured.
Today, according to the latest news from NBA celebrity Shams, Simmons will return from G4 to G6 in the first round, that is, The West will play in game four of the series at the earliest, and at the latest in Game 6. However, if the Nets are out early, Simmons will not have the opportunity to play this season and end early.
Simmons was one of the league's strongest outside defenders and was well organized, but the offensive end was still a loophole. But the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and even if Simmons can only play 70% of the performance, he is certainly a good guard who can help the Nets. Opponents Celtic are very strong, Tatum is the best team level star this season, and if Simmons returns, then Durant and Irving can focus more on the offensive end. Overall, Simmons is the X factor, and may also determine the fate of the Nets.
Second, Doncic missed the first round of G1
The Lone Rangers and Jazz met in the first round, with a strong dialogue. However, Doncic suffered an injury in the final game of the regular season, so head coach Kidd also received a lot of criticism, why not take doncic off? Doncic's injury this time has the potential to change the course of the entire series, and the Jazz will have the absolute upper hand.
According to NBA celebrity Shams, Doncic is basically certain to miss the first game of the series, and the leg strain is a very tricky injury. Last season, Harden missed several playoff games due to a leg strain, and the effect of playing with an injury was not good. Doncic is still young, he is only 23 years old this year, he can cut an all-round stat of close to 28+9+9 per game, and he is an MVP-level star. If you think about it in the long run, doncic should still rest without a full recovery, and playing with injuries may affect his entire career.
The Jazz have gone high and low this season, reaching the Western Conference playoffs with a record of 49 wins and 33 losses. The Jazz are very well-balanced, and Mitchell and Gobert are still the jazz's guarantee of winning. In terms of overall strength, the Jazz are better, and now that Doncic is out, it looks like the Jazz have a good chance of getting the start. There are no super teams in the West, and the Jazz have a chance to reach the Western Conference Finals and even make it to the Finals.
Third, Maddy founded the league to enter the Chinese market
Maddy is an NBA star, at his peak, and the best scorer. The time when Maddy and Yao Ming played together on the Rockets was very memorable for the fans, and although the Yao Mai combination did not win the championship, it was also very competitive, just bad luck.
Maddy has been retired for many years, and now in addition to working as an NBA commentator, he has also founded his own basketball league, called the "Ones" basketball league, and Maddy seems to be calling Yao Ming, hoping that Dayao can help him open up the Chinese market and let his league be played in China.
"You know, we have to go to China, and Yao Ming is the head of the Basketball Association, so we're going to China." Yao Ming and Maddy have cooperated for many years and have a great relationship, if there is the help of Dayao, I believe that Maddy's league will gradually be promoted in China.
Maddy also touched on some other topics, saying he deserves to be one of the top 75 stars, but wouldn't complain about not being selected. Maddy also bluntly said that Kobe Bryant is the best 1-on-1 player in history, but he can break Kobe's wrist at his peak.
