On April 29, the first round of the NBA playoffs continued, and after three games, three teams were born to advance, and the 76ers defeated the Raptors and eliminated the opponent. The Suns narrowly beat the Pelicans to advance to the Western Final Four. The Lone Ranger defeats the Jazz and meets the Suns in the Western Conference Semifinals. The big scores in these three series are all 4-2, so that the Eastern Conference final four are released, and there are three teams promoted in the West, only the Grizzlies temporarily lead the Timberwolves 3-2.
Among the teams that qualify, the next east games are the Celtics vs Bucks starting May 1 and the Heat 76ers who started on May 3. The Western Conference Suns and Lone Ranger G1 are on May 3, the Warriors have advanced to the Western Conference Final Four, but their opponents are not yet out, the Timberwolves hope to reverse the Black Seven miracle, and the Grizzlies want to catch up with the Suns Lone Rangers and other teams, can also advance to the second round of the playoffs 4-2.
Of the eliminated teams, the Nets were the only ones swept out, with Nash coaching a team that lost 4-0 to the Celtics and scored a humiliating exit. The Hawks, Bulls and Nuggets all won just one game, and were eliminated after losing to their opponents by a large margin in the series. The remaining eliminated teams have lost 2 games, and so far, there has not been a single group of series battles to seven battles, 4-1 and 4-2 are three groups, 4-0 only one group.
The biggest suspense of this is the Grizzlies promotion or Timberwolf Black Seven Miracle? Tomorrow the two teams will play G6, and if the Grizzlies win, they will advance directly to the second round of the playoffs, against the Warriors who are waiting for work. Once the G6 Grizzlies lose, then the series will be pushed into the first game of the season, although the Grizzlies have the advantage of home, but the uncertainty of the seven games, there is indeed a lot of contingency, so they for Morant's team, they must still hope that the G6 will win away from home.
The Timberwolves' goal is to win consecutive games to advance to the second round and stage the Black Seven miracle, in fact, their G5 performance on the road is still very good, once saw the hope of winning, but unfortunately was defeated by Morant, missed the opportunity of the match point. In this way, if the Timberwolves want to qualify, they need a wave of 2 consecutive wins to achieve a good turnaround.
Of course, for now, the initiative of promotion is in the hands of the Grizzlies, and this season's playoffs, no team can eliminate the teams that are more advanced in the regular season, and the teams that have advanced to the Suns, Warriors, Heat and Celtics are all teams with better regular season records, so it depends on whether the series of Timberwolves and Grizzlies will bring different surprises.
