Today, in 4 NBA games, Harden led the Clippers PK Clippers, Tatum + Brother Alphabet and others played respectively
On April 22 (today, Monday), Beijing time, the 2023-2024 NBA (American Professional Basketball League) playoffs will stage four matchups. Because it is not the NBA broadcast day of China Central Radio and Television, there is no live broadcast plan for major CCTV sports platforms, including CCTV5, and there is no live broadcast plan for local stations such as Shanghai Five Star Sports, and the three major platforms will broadcast live on the network and mobile phones.
At 1 o'clock in the morning, in the first leg of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals, the Green Army Boston hosted the Miami Heat, and ESPN and other American TV stations broadcast live across the United States.
Tatum's Boston have been strong this season, winning the Eastern Conference regular season with a league-best record of 64-18. The Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo's Heat, who finished runners-up in the NBA Finals last season and finished eighth in the regular season, lost by one point to the Philadelphia 76ers in the play-in rounds, and then beat the Chicago Bulls to earn a best-of-seven series against Boston.
At 3:30 a.m., the first leg of the Western Conference quarterfinals staged a key matchup, the Los Angeles Clippers, ranked fourth in the Western regular season, sat at home, and faced off against the Dallas Mavericks, who ranked fifth in the Western regular season.
The Clippers, a Big Four of bearded Harden, Leonard, Westbrook and Pickled Pepper Paul George, finished fourth in the West with a 51-31 record despite suffering a three-game losing streak at the end of the regular season. The Mavericks' star stars are Slovenian stars Doncic and Irving, who are known as the Eastern European duo by Chinese fans, and suffered two consecutive defeats in the regular season, ranking fifth in the West with 50 wins and 32 losses. There is not much difference in strength between the two teams, and this matchup will be very intense.

The Bucks, led by Antetokounmpo and Lillard, ended on a two-game losing streak and finished third in the Eastern Conference regular season with a 49-33 record.
