On April 4, the playoffs kicked off. Two games were played on the first day. The Rockets defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 22:104 in an away game and got off to a good start.

This victory made Huaxia fans crazy.The popularity of the Trail Blazers in China is relatively average. The player who fans know best about them is Oden, who has not yet shown his potential. They don't know much about Roy and Aldridge.

This is also caused by China's current national conditions.With the popularity of the Internet, Xinglang Sports has started the trend of broadcasting the NBA online, but fans know more about the NBA through the broadcast of CCTV and the "Basketball Park" program, and they can buy a copy of "Basketball Pioneer" and "Slam Dunk" , "Contemporary Sports" and other paper media are considered "real fans". Most fans are most familiar with the Eagles and Rockets, and then the Lakers, Spurs, Mavericks, Cavaliers, Suns, The Magic, and the Jazz who eat, sleep, and play the Rockets.

The Trail Blazers, a team that doesn't have much ties to China and doesn't have any superstars, rarely pays attention to it.If you post a post on the Internet, "Don't brag or criticize, who is better, McGrady or Roy", McGrady will get at least 90% of the votes, and the highlighted post must be "Roy is also worthy of being compared with McGrady". . . . . .

After winning G1, the Chinese media magnified the Blazers' shortcomings countless times, in order to cater to the fans' point of view, the Rockets will win!

In another game, the Cavaliers defeated the Raptors 97:89 at home. James scored 29 points, 13 rebounds and 9 assists. His firepower in the playoffs has never been compromised.

On the 23rd, the Eagles made their home debut against the impressive Chicago Bulls.

Among the teams in the lower half of the Eastern Conference, the Bulls may be the team with the strongest hard power.It was an accident in itself that they fell out of the playoffs last season, and it was an NBA record to win the No. [-] pick with the probability of ranking ninth. Super rookie Rose + a well-established team, they will definitely be able to play!

Ke Yan followed the starting lineup in the second half of the regular season, with Paul, Joe Johnson, Battier, Diaw, and Anderson as the starting lineup.

In the first round of the playoffs, they faced the Eagles who lacked Garnett. The Bulls, who originally only planned to experience the atmosphere of the playoffs, also had "unrealistic" ideas. , The lineup of Rose, Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, Terrence Thomas, and Brad Miller looks quite powerful.

This round of the series is also considered to be a duel between "traditional point guard" Paul and "attacking guard" Rose.It's also interesting to say that when compared with Kidd and Nash in the early days, Paul, who is more capable of scoring, was regarded as a "modern point guard", but now compared with Rose, he has to guard the glory of a "traditional point guard" .

Anderson's unsurprising jump ball won, and the Eagles went first.

Paul holds the ball in the middle, Anderson pulls out for a pick-and-roll, and Diaw provides an off-ball screen for Joe Johnson on the left.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Paul got rid of Rose with the ball and made a breakthrough from the right. Miller switched defenses in time. Paul forced a three-step layup and missed under the interference. Riding first, gliding and snapping! (0:2)

Battier, who was chasing the defense, served from the bottom line. Paul took the ball to the frontcourt, and it was still a pick-and-roll called Anderson. The player rushed to the basket and forced a layup, but failed to score the ball under Miller's interference.

Thomas protected the backboard and handed it to Rose subconsciously, but Battier behind him stole the ball and intercepted it at the moment of the shot. The latter took advantage of the Bulls' lack of defense and scored with an easy layup.

"This is the problem of game experience. The problem of the Bulls is the same as that of the Trail Blazers yesterday. They are too young." Zhang Lili, the on-site commentator, gave his opinion.

The lack of game experience is not only reflected in the mistakes, but also in the emotional control after the mistakes.In the next round of offense, Rose encountered a flank attack after the pick-and-roll, failed to grasp the timing of the pass and rushed to the bottom line, and threw the ball to Miller on the outside when there was very little room for the shot. If it is in place, it can only be transferred to Luol Deng on the weak side. The latter takes a step and hits a mid-range shot, which is entirely a personal ability.

The Eagles attacked, and Paul was a little sticky in handling the ball. He had to hand the ball to Joe Johnson. The latter missed a jumper under the interference of Luol Deng. Ben Gordon grabbed the rebound and launched a fast break again.

Facing Battier, Rose rushed forward with his head down, took three steps as soon as he entered the three-point line, and forced a layup with his speed advantage. Battier's position was very good, forcing Rose to dodge in a small range , By the time the last step was taken, the hands were exhausted.Later, Battier got stuck again, causing Thomas to foul for rebounding!

In the turmoil of the opening game, Battier became the most handsome boy of the Eagles.

After a simple test, the Eagles adjusted their offensive tactical arrangements. After falling into the half-court battle, Joe Johnson controlled the ball and dominated the team's offense.

Dior mentioned that he received the ball from the horn position. When everyone thought he was going to pass the ball, he simply slid the ball down. He used the tonnage advantage to overwhelm Thomas. (4:4)

The French magician is known for passing the ball, but in the previous three seasons, his scoring average has reached double digits, and he rarely eats pie balls at close range.

The Bulls were attacking, and it was still Rose who forcibly tore through the Eagles' defense, dodging Anderson's blocked shot and scoring a layup in the air.In this ball, Rose's breakthrough was extremely violent, and his posture in the air was also very beautiful. He disintegrated the Eagles' defense by himself, showing his talent.

"Beautiful! Derrick Rose. Facing the league's No. [-] point guard Chris Paul, he still dared to fight. This shot really made people see the shadow of Wade at the peak!" Yoga praised Rose while giving Paul a press On the "League's first point guard" title.

Of course, as far as the current situation is concerned, Paul deserves it!

The Eagles' offense still played against Dior. The Frenchman made a mid-range shot after receiving the ball. Terrence Thomas was stunned by Dior's fake action.

With Aldridge, the leader of the new generation of insiders, for the "jump boy" Terrence Thomas, the Bulls have lost a lot of money in this deal. At present, Thomas has no value in training except for his running and jumping ability.

The next round of offense was still led by Rose.However, Paul's defense this round showed the strength of "first defense", which firmly blocked Rose's breakthrough line. The latter shot in the middle distance in desperation, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

Compared with Rose, who relies heavily on the threat of breakthroughs, the Hawks' backcourt double guns are more comprehensive.Paul continued to use the pick-and-roll to dismember the Bulls' defense, broke into the paint and made a fake fax shot, and made a close-range shot.

If Rose's ultimate move is a breakthrough, Paul's most stable way to score is his mid-range shot.The mid-range position is not as efficient as the basket and outside, but because of this, it is often an area where the opponent's defense is relatively weak.Especially in the high-intensity confrontation arena in the playoffs, but when the opponent is heavily defending under the basket and outside the three-point line, whoever has a stable shot can take the initiative.

As time passed, Rose's breakthrough was gradually grasped by the Eagles.In this case, Ben Gordon stood up. Rose took the initiative to catch the ball after halftime, and then singled Joe Johnson with the ball on the left. Score.

In fact, Ben Gordon in the realization stage is a very suitable partner for Rose. On the offensive end, he can attack with the ball and run without the ball. After the time, enter the state and score points crazily.The only downside is that he and Rose are both "point guards", and they need someone to help wipe their ass on the defensive end.

However, as the big loser in recent years, while the Bulls gave Luol Deng a five-year contract of 5 million, they only gave Ben Gordon a five-year contract of 6000 million. This made Gordon feel insulted by sleeping and refused. At the same time as the contract, a qualification contract was also reached with the team.

Usually players reach a qualification contract with their home team, which means that Gordon became a free agent in the summer of 09. When he signs with a new team, he doesn't need to worry about being matched by the Bulls.

Gordon's hot touch helped the Bulls lead the Hawks by 6 points at the end of the first quarter, which also caught the Eagles fans a little off guard. (25:31)

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Bulls' performance was still strong.The lineup of Hinrich, Ben Gordon, Salmons, Tim Thomas and Noah is still strong.

The Bulls were described by Keyan as the strongest team in the lower half because of their solid bench.Hinrich has always been an above-average starting point guard for the past few seasons, and playing sixth man in the Bulls completely gave way to Rose; Salmons was the Kings' No. [-] scorer before being traded to the Bulls Hand, Noah is a lottery pick in the draft year, has a good static talent, and plays hard.

Instead, the Eagles, even though Ke Yan arranged for Joe Johnson to bring the bench, the scene still fell into a disadvantage!The main problem lies in the interior. The Bulls suppressed the substitute interior combination of Amundson and David Anderson. After Tim Thomas pulled to the outside, Noah was one against two in the interior and was still able to grab offensive rebounds consecutively.

Before the start of the season, the team put "saving money" in a very important position. The construction of the substitute lineup was either young people, or Ke Yan did not know where to find it.Although the young people have made progress, and even though the substitutes Ke Yan recruited are worthy of their salaries, they still exposed their shortcomings in the playoffs. Without Garnett, they are nothing!

When Noah was able to show "dominance" inside the Eagles, Ke Yan suddenly realized a problem of his own.I have always been very confident and equipped Paul, Garnett, and Joe Johnson with excellent role players, but in fact, the stars have always been covering for themselves.

No way, on the stage of the playoffs, when it's time to fuck the main players, you have to fuck.Before the point difference widened to double digits, Ke Yan directly took the entire main lineup, "upper four versus lower four", and launched a counterattack.

Ke Yan "strikes hard" ahead of schedule and caught Del Negro by surprise!The Eagles quickly evened the point difference, and the two sides stalemate until the end of halftime, and it was still hard to tell the winner.

At halftime, the Eagles trailed by 58 point 59:1.

(It is said that the big movie "Slam Dunk" has already been on the review list of Radio and Television, and it should be released in April to May.)
