All the top 8 NBA playoffs were born! The Warriors advanced to the buzzer, and the semi-finals match was released
With the end of the first round of the Warriors and the Rockets' tiebreak, the Warriors eliminated the Rockets 4-3, and all the quarterfinals of the NBA playoffs were born this year, and the divisional semi-finals matches were also released. The eight teams that advanced to the second round were the Thunder, Nuggets, Timberwolves, Warriors, Cavaliers, Celtics, Knicks and Pacers. Semi-finals, Thunder VS Nuggets, Warriors VS Timberwolves, Cavaliers VS Pacers, Celtics VS Knicks. In addition to the Warriors, the other seven teams that advanced to the second round also advanced to the second round in the playoffs last year, and the Warriors replaced last year's Mavericks. In addition, the Warriors have become the only traffic team to advance to the second round. What do you mean? The lake has dried up, the boat has overturned, and the sun sets early, and Jinzhou wants to say good night. The Warriors finally withstood the pressure and became the last hope of the Western Conference giants.
These traffic teams this season are indeed more regretful. The Suns have the most luxurious lineup in the league. The luxury tax is ranked first in the league, but it stops in the regular season. The cooperation between Durant, Booker and Bills has completely failed. One of the most eye-catching questions in the NBA this summer offseason, where does Durant go? Join the Rockets? Or the Heat? After welcoming Doncic, the Lakers united as one, and were full of confidence in the playoffs, but were completely crushed by the opponent's Timberwolves. Doncic and James alone still couldn't stand it. The Lakers' role players scored too few points, and Reeves was unable to compete for the three leaders. If the Lakers want to compete for the championship, they can only adjust the lineup and introduce players with better independent offensive capabilities. They may even have to lower James' tactical status in their salary, otherwise they will have to make money.
The Clippers are the most regrettable, losing to the Nuggets in the first round, was eliminated. In fact, the strength of the Clippers is comparable to that of the Nuggets. This year, they are all healthy and have a good lineup. Logically speaking, there is a good chance to compete for the championship, but their enthusiasm is still a bit interesting. They do not have the fighting spirit of a championship team, especially Harden, who is dead in the tiebreak and does not feel good, and he will not make a shot even if he doesn't feel good. On the other hand, Curry of the Warriors lost himself in the first half of the tiebreak, and he was still looking for opportunities in the second half, and maintained a strong offensive aggressiveness. In the end, he not only regained his form, but also led the team to play games. The team atmosphere of the Warriors is really great. Curry takes the lead in charge. Zhu Meng Green is the spiritual leader of the team and can create pressure on his opponents in the game at all times. Butler, one of the toughest guys in the playoffs.
However, can the Warriors go further in the playoffs? To be honest, it is difficult. It is so difficult to play the Rockets in the first round. Although the Rockets are second in the Western Conference in the regular season, they have no playoff experience and their offensive skills are so rough. From these games in the first round, the Rockets' offense is basically hard to dig the inside line and do not have stable shooting. Relying solely on athleticism and the advantages of inside rebounding to suppress the Warriors. The Timberwolves seem to be the enhanced version of the Rockets. They are also young, have super athletic ability, have sufficient forward reserves and huge size advantages. The Timberwolves can beat the Lakers in the first round, not to mention the smaller Warriors. In addition, the Timberwolves made the Western Conference Final last year, and the star Edwards also had a superstar appearance. It was a miracle that the Warriors could eliminate the Timberwolves.
Conversely, if the Timberwolves can eliminate the Warriors, then Edwards will be the gods. In the past two seasons, Edwards has eliminated Durant, Jokic, James, and Doncic head-on, these top superstars in the league. He will face Curry's challenge next. If you win the league's first-class super giant, Edwards will inevitably become the future face of the league. I believe no one will accept it. This season, Edwards has made a lot of progress. He is good at athleticism and has various flying dunks in the game. Unexpectedly, he has also mastered his shooting. Few people may know that Edwards' three-point output ranks first in the league this season, and Curry is third in the league. However, when playing against the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs, Huazi's three-point efficiency was relatively average, with a shooting percentage of 33.3%.
The other groups of division semi-finals showdowns, Thunder VS Nuggets, success or failure for the Thunder is here. The time to test whether they are truly strong teams has come. In the first round of the playoffs, it is said that the Thunder relies on abolishing Morant's level. Faced with the Nuggets who have maintained a strong team style in recent years, will the Thunder continue their dominance? To be honest, the Celtics vs. Knicks are not very suspenseful. During the regular season, the Knicks have never beaten the Celtics. At the same time, the Knicks have been in trouble when they play strong teams. There are too few people who can use them. The more the injury risks they get in the playoffs, the greater the risk of injury, and the combat effectiveness declines faster. As the defending champion, the depth of the lineup needs no further comment. Cavaliers VS Pacers. Although this matchup is not very popular, it is actually very interesting. Both sides are super offensive teams. Before the Warriors Rockets G7, the G1 of the Cavaliers and Pacers was over. Unexpectedly, the Pacers defeated the Cavaliers in the away game and won the first goal. Will they become the biggest dark horses in this year's playoffs?
