7:00 Bucks (1-0) vs Celtics
The Celtics successfully froze Durant and Irving in the first round, but they could not completely limit the alphabet brother, in the first game, the alphabet brother got 24 points, 13 rebounds, 12 assists and 2 blocks, and his plus-minus value also reached +23. Although the Green Army's defensive brother alphabet has been very hard, limiting his shooting to 9 of 25 shots, the alphabet brother can still influence the game from all aspects, and his rebounding, passing and defense can help the team.
In the regular season, the Bucks were able to score 114.3 points per 100 possessions, ranking third in the league, and the Celtics limited their scoring to 101 points in the first game, which is already a good statistic, they didn't have much problems on the defensive end, and the main reason for the loss was that the offense dropped the chain.
The first round of the big-double probe spent both in the first game, Tatum scored 21 points, but the performance is still below average, Jaylen Brown hamstring slightly strained, do not know if the injury affected his state, in the first game of the semifinals, he only scored 12 points, the two stars combined 31 shots 10.
In addition, in this game, the Celtics made 50 crazy shots on the outside, which set a team-history playoff record, they eventually hit 18 three-pointers, shooting 36%, if you want to shoot a large number of three-pointers, at least to ensure efficiency, otherwise it will be very difficult, counting the Green Army, the last 12 teams that shot at least 50 three-pointers in the playoffs have a total record of 2 wins and 10 losses.
While the Bucks are a very good defensive team, the Celtics' 89 points is obviously not normal, they will improve their offensive efficiency in the second game, and the Bucks need to be prepared for the opponent's counterattack.
9:30 Warriors (1-0) vs Grizzlies
The Warriors changed sides again in the first game of the semifinals, putting Payton Jr. in the starting lineup and putting Poole back on the bench, the Warriors' original intention was to let the better defensive Peyton Jr. go to Morant and limit the opponent's top scorer, but the effect of the change was average. Fortunately, Poole still has a good offensive feeling on the bench, and he played the highest time in the game for 38 minutes, scoring 31 points to surpass the Grizzlies' entire bench score (30 points).
In the first round, the Grizzlies had three games to complete a double-digit reversal in the final quarter, becoming the first team in NBA history to do so more than once in a single season in the playoffs, not to mention a feat accomplished in a series, with the Grizzlies averaging 33 points in the first round and a net victory of 10.3 points over their opponents, both of which led the NBA. But the Warriors are not Timberwolves, they showed a richer and calmer side in the final quarter, especially at key moments. Klay Thompson hit a last-minute hit a counter-three-pointer, and Curry then sent a crucial block to Morant.
The Grizzlies also played well in this game, with Jarren Jackson Jr., who was plagued by a foul crisis in the first round, 33 points, morant scoring 34 points, shooting 16 three-pointers and shooting 40% from the distance.
In the first game, the referee's decision became a hot topic, Green had 1 minute and 18 seconds left before halftime to block Clarke and a second-degree malicious foul, and his off-line appearance became the biggest surprise factor of the game. In addition, Curry was convicted of an offensive foul on a layup in the last quarter, eating his fifth offense, and 4.8 seconds before the end, Dillon Brooks touched the ball out of bounds, and the referee once again misjudged and blew the penalty. By the second game, the referee's blowing penalty may become more cautious.
The Warriors gained more confidence by taking the first inning on the road, and the Grizzlies had to fight to pull back a second game or they would be more passive in the series.
Curry has reached 494 three-point shooting in the playoffs, and he is only six three-pointers away from becoming the first player in NBA playoff history to break the 500 three-point mark, and in this game, Curry will also hit this milestone.
Klay Thompson also hit 399 playoff three-pointers, and if nothing else, he will be the third player in playoff history to surpass 400 three-pointers after Curry and James.
