The first one: Brother Alphabet's injury update
The Pacers snatched home-court advantage from the Bucks, and Sika went out of the limelight in a row, with G1 scoring 26 points + 13 rebounds and G2 scoring 37 points + 11 rebounds. According to statistics, Sika is the second player in NBA history to score at least 35 points + 10 rebounds in the first two games of the playoffs, comparable to Chamberlain. At the same time, Sika is also the fifth player in NBA history to score at least 35 points + 10 rebounds on more than 60% shooting in two consecutive playoff games, the top 5 being Antetokounmpo, Duncan, O'Neal and Chamberlain. According to NBA Famer Shams, Brother Alphabet's left hamstring and left Achilles tendon injury is recovering well and has begun to participate in some shooting drills, but he has not yet participated in confrontation practice, and the Bucks are cautious about his comeback. If Brother Alphabet returns, he and Lillard will not be able to pee in the same pot, and they will face the risk of aggravated injuries.

Number three: Bad news for the Lakers
The Lakers fell behind the Nuggets 0-2, and G3 was a life-and-death battle that came early! Before the big game, the Lakers had bad news. According to a report from NBA Hall of Fame Shams, Wood, who was originally scheduled to return in G3, canceled his comeback, and Van der Biao will continue to be sidelined! Wood has been absent for two consecutive months due to a knee injury, and Van der Biao has been absent for more than 80 consecutive days due to a sprained right midfoot, according to previous reports by NBA Hall of Fame Dave and Lakers reporter Mike, Wood and Van der Biao have participated in part of the team's training and are expected to return in G3, which is also the X factor for the Lakers to use crowd tactics to fight for the defending champion. However, since Wood and Van der Biao are unable to return as originally planned, it means that they have not yet met the conditions for a comeback, and the Lakers cannot count on two role players who have been absent from the battlefield for a long time to save the master!
Fourth: The big trade plan of the 3 teams is released
The Lakers are down 0-2, the Suns are down 0-2, and the Warriors are directly out of the playoffs early, and this is the cruelty of the NBA arena - the future will eventually belong to young people. Lao Zhan and KD's team will not be tied up yet, but Curry's team has to make changes, and it is unknown whether Paul, Townsend, Wiggins, and Looney can continue to stay with the Warriors! Just today, the well-known BR reporter Eric Pincus provided a big deal plan involving 5 players from 3 teams and millions of cash, as follows: The Warriors sent Wiggins + Looney, got Brogdon + Lowe, the 76ers got Wiggins + 1.1 million cash (from the Trail Blazers), and the Trail Blazers got Looney +No. 16 (from 76 people) + 22.5 million transaction exceptions. If you don't break it, you can't stand it, especially for teams like the Warriors and the 76ers who are not qualified to play bad, and a dead horse as a live horse doctor may be able to see the light and find a way out. Fans, what do you think about this?
