NBA's No. 1 guard

Chapter 373 The first battle!

On April 4, while Xu Xiang and others were still preparing for the game, this year's playoffs had already started.

The Eastern side took the lead in the Cavaliers playing the Heat and the Eagles playing the Celtics.

The Pacers played the Pistons and the Raptors played the Hornets only started their first leg on April 4.

In the west, the Warriors took the lead against the Rockets and the Thunder against the Mavericks.

The home games are the Cavaliers, Eagles, Warriors and Thunder.

Xu Xiang and others watched the game at home, but they focused on watching the Cavaliers and Eagles games.Because this is their next opponent.

Both teams played very anxiously.

Anxiety imaginable.

Not to mention the grievances and resentments between the Cavaliers and the Heat, the love and hatred between the two sides can probably be written into a TV series.

James has to be the leading man.

The lineups on both sides are also very luxurious. The Cavaliers start with a five-man team, Irving, JR, James, Love, and TT.

For the Heat, Dragic, Wade, Joe Johnson, Luol Deng, and Da Baibian.

The lineups on both sides were so luxurious that they didn't want to talk, except that the Heat lost one Bosh.

However, Da Baibian's deterrence at the basket is definitely stronger than Bosh.

After a fierce battle, the Cavaliers actually lost. In the first game at home, the Heat 123 to 91 and the Cavaliers bloodbathed by 32 points!
Oh my God!

problem occurs!
No one thought that the Cavaliers played so badly in the first game.

James walked away during the post-match interview. ,
In this game, he took 22 shots, hit 10 times, scored 28 points and 13 rebounds, but the Cavaliers still lost!

Unbelievably, he was also very, very angry.

28 points and 13 rebounds, the team lost!

The little emperor was angry.

Wade was very happy when he was interviewed,
"You know, what kind of opponents we faced, we proved ourselves with our strength, we played very well and caught their loopholes."

In this game, Wade scored 31 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds.

If the Heat's victory over the Cavaliers is a small surprise, then the rest is basically expected.

The Rockets were swept by the Warriors' Splash Brothers 104-78.

The bearded man didn't have any temper when he was beaten in front of Curry.

Before Harden raised his shooting percentage, the Rockets were definitely not the Warriors' opponents.

no doubt.

If it is possible for a bearded man with a mature style of play in later generations to fight against the Splash Brothers, it is not possible now!

But later generations waited for him to hone himself, and the Warriors added Durant
Dead end.

It's still hard to beat the Warriors.Xu Xiang touched his chin and continued to read.

The Eagles played against the Celtics, 101 to 102, and the Celtics were directly defeated in an away game!

Due to the fact that the strength of the two sides is very close, the game was extremely fierce.

But this should be considered good news for the Pacers, because if they play like this, no matter which side wins, it will hurt their vitality.

As for the game between Oklahoma City and Dallas, there is no suspense.

The veteran driver who has already entered the old age can play well in the regular season, but the intensity of the playoffs will not last long with his body.

Durant and Westbrook fired with full firepower, and they beat the Mavericks to the ground in the first game.

The four games were divided into winners and losers. Except for the game between the Cavaliers and the Heat, everything else is still expected.

Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue said in an interview after the game,

"We need to work harder. We didn't play very well, but we will adjust in time."

The reporters continued to ask questions about the next game being an away game.

Tyronn Lu hesitated, but still chose to answer,
"I believe in LeBron, he is not a person who accepts defeat easily, he will fight back!"

Xu Xiang didn't care what he said, because the first game of the Pacers' playoffs was about to start!

On April 4th, at 17 pm, the Pacers will host the Detroit Pistons.

There are still many people paying attention to this game, because everyone is speculating whether the Pacers will also stumble like the Cavaliers.

The Pacers' home stadium, the Bankers Life Arena, was packed at the moment, and there were also a lot of oriental faces, who seemed to be aiming at Xu Xiang.

The tactics of this game have been discussed before the game. After a simple warm-up, the starting lineups of both sides were shown on the big screen.

The Pacers must be the main force, starting with George Hill and Xu Xiang on the outside, pickled peppers and Plumlee on the front line, and center Hibbert.

The Pistons are also the main force here. Reggie Jackson and Pope are the starting outsiders, Morris and Tobias Harris are the strikers, and Zhuang Shen is the center.

Following the command of the referee, Zhuang Shen and Hibbert stepped onto the midfield line to execute the jump ball.

Zhuang Shen is 211 and weighs 254. Although he is not as tall as Hibbert, he is heavier than Hibbert and looks stronger than Hibbert.

Two people fight to bounce.

Zhuang Shen was obviously better. After squeezing Hibbert, he got the rebound, and the Pistons won the right to attack the first attack.

Reggie Jackson is thinking about how to play this shot.

When a weak team is playing against a strong team, if you want to win, you must first look at your hand feel, and second, you must look at your momentum!
If you can't overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum, it's really not easy to fight.

According to the tactics arranged by the coach in advance, everyone in the Pistons began to move.

Popla came to the bottom corner, Morris fell to the high position to support, Reggie held the ball, Zhuang Shen sat at the basket, and the Pistons' first offense looked really good.

Then, Reggie saw Xu Xiang standing firmly in front of him.

"Huh? Why are you here to defend me?" He felt a little unbelievable.

He looked at the coach on the sidelines, not knowing what to do for a while.

According to the prior arrangement, the Pistons wanted to play by surprise in this game, focusing on Morris.

but
In front of Morris now stood Paul George.

There seems to be a change.

The biggest variable is that Xu Xiang actually dared to mark him instead of letting pickled peppers come over.

Strange, very strange, do the Pacers have such confidence in Xu Xiang?
But the situation is already like this, they can only forcefully fight on.

Morris obviously hit the ball with iron, and Pickle's defense made it difficult for him to complete the shot.

Hibbert protected the rebound and gave George Hill a push.

Xu Xiang directly catches the ball at the top of the arc, faces Pope's defense, and shoots a three-pointer!
Leave you!

"Shh!"

Hollow into the network!

He scored the first goal, and his touch today looks good.

There was a burst of cheers at the scene, Xu Xiang is this year's three-pointer king, it's not too good to start with a three-pointer.

Pope felt that there was no problem with his defense, but Xu Xiang was able to make a shot!
