The first round of the NBA playoffs is underway, and while a 4-0 swept team is born, other series have entered a white-hot phase. The east and west sides have formed a huge contrast, the West is constantly upset, the Warriors have become a fig leaf, and the upper half of the East teams have won more easily, only the 76ers are more embarrassing.
Western Group 4 Series Scores:
Sun 2-2 Pelicans
After Booker was injured, the Suns only won G3 once, and it was a narrow victory, Ingram showed his superstar potential, scoring 30+ points in 3 consecutive games, becoming a score point that the Suns could not limit at all. G5 back at home to the Suns to play King Mountain, can be described as very critical, if Paul can not break out like G3 to get high scores, the Suns are likely to be eliminated, becoming the only team in history to be "black 9".
Grizzlies 2-2 Timberwolves
The Youth Army is playing against the Grizzlies for the first time in recent years and the second. In terms of lineup depth and technical and tactical level, the Grizzlies are better, the winning percentage is also high without Morant, Bane and Dillon have strong scoring ability, and the Timberwolves have a higher ceiling of 2 yuan and 1 eye. After all, the playoffs are the stage for superstars, Downs is 29+13, one 33+14, and Edwards also has 36 points. No matter how strong the Grizzlies' role players are, they can't stand up to the time when the superstars erupt.
Warriors 3-1 Nuggets
At one point, with a 3-0 lead, Poole and Klay both broke out, and Curry was willing to play as a substitute after returning from injury, but did not expect to receive a miracle effect. For Jokic, to meet a small lineup expert like the Warriors is to meet a nemesis, not to mention that the Nuggets' strength this season is not strong. The Warriors have also become a fig leaf for teams in the upper half of the West, the only team that can still lead.
Jazz 2-3 Lone Rangers
When Doncic didn't come back, the Jazz didn't take the chance, allowing Brunson to explode, losing 1 home. Doncic returned to 2 games, the data was 30 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists, 33 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists, the Jazz simply could not stop Doncic, losing the battle of Tianwangshan. Arguably, the Lone Rangers are the most likely team in the West to play under the gram, and the winning side is very large.
Eastern Conference Group 4 Series Scores:
Heat 3-1 Hawks
The Heat are worthy of being the first in the East, winning 3 games, the point difference is 24 points, 10 points, 24 points, the Hawks rely on Trae Young's kill to pull back a city at home, the strength of the two teams is not at the same level.
Celtics 4-0 Nets
The only group swept through the promotion, the Nets lost 18 points in 4 games, it seems to be bad luck, in fact, it is not enough, especially on the defensive end, the Nets have too many bad habits, otherwise it will not appear, so many key moments by the Green Army to score consecutively. With superstars and no tactics, the Nets should reflect on the idea of building a team from top to bottom.
Bucks 3-1 bulls
Similar to the heat, the Bucks lost the game by relying on DeRozan's explosion to score 41 points, and the Bulls only won four points. The Bucks are defending champions and don't care much about regular season rankings, and the Bulls are playing the playoffs for the first time since rebuilding, paying tuition for inexperience.
76ers 3-2 Raptors
At one point, a 3-0 lead was in sight, but who would have thought of being chased by the Raptors for two consecutive innings, and G5 was still a big defeat that hurt morale. Although Embiid was injured, Harden's performance was undoubtedly disappointing, 5 of 17, 4 of 11, and did not stand up at key moments. Coupled with Rivers' flipped attributes, maybe the 76ers still have to fight until they grab seven to advance.
