As a Kobe hater, he was actually teammates with Kobe!

A few days later, all the first-round playoff matches were over.

The Los Angeles Lakers, the league's top team, swept the Oklahoma City Thunder 4-0 to advance to the Western Conference semifinals, obliterating any pre-game talk of a potential upset.

The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Golden State Warriors 4-2. Despite the Warriors' loss, the inside-outside duo of Stephen Curry and Yao Ming gave Warriors fans a glimpse into a bright future. The biggest surprise was Stephen Curry, who averaged 6 points, 24 rebounds, 5 assists, and 7 steals in six playoff games—nearly every statistic was higher than his regular season average.

Before the playoffs started, many fans believed that Tyreke Evans deserved the Rookie Season MVP more than Stephen Curry, but after these six playoff games, such voices have become much smaller.

There is no doubt that in the next few years, the Golden State Warriors will become a regular in the playoffs, playing the role of "spoiler". It looks like the "Los Angeles Lakers" four years ago.

The Phoenix Suns swept the Portland Trail Blazers 4-0 to advance to the Western Conference semifinals. The old Shaq once again traveled east, heading to Cleveland. This not only did not cause the Suns' record to decline, but on the contrary, they once again played the 7-second run-and-gun game that once amazed the entire league.

Brandon Roy, known as the Yellow Mamba, was able to pull the team back from the quagmire many times by his own efforts, but he was swept by the Suns, whose entire team was in full bloom.

The winning Suns will meet the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference semifinals.

Nash and Nowitzki, the former partners, once again staged the "Bull Day Battle".

The Denver Nuggets, fourth in the Western Conference, and the Utah Jazz, fifth in the Western Conference, dragged the series into a seventh game. Carmelo Anthony scored 9 points in a row in the final moments of the seventh game, helping the team lock in the victory and advance to the Western Conference semifinals again, but the bad news is... they will meet the "Los Angeles Lakers" again.

Eastern Division:

The Cleveland Cavaliers, at the top of the Eastern Conference standings, swept the Chicago Bulls 4-1 to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals. Derrick Rose, the top draft pick, was too raw to face LeBron James, who finished third on this season's MVP list.

The second-placed Magic also completed a sweep of the seventh-placed Charlotte Bobcats. It's worth noting that in Game 4 of this series, Dwight Howard got into foul trouble early, nearly crumbling the team's defense.

Dwight Howard, who returned to the game in the fourth quarter, was fouled by Okafor while scrambling for a rebound. This led to his sixth foul and forced him to leave the game early. In this situation, Magic veteran Vince Carter stepped up and successfully turned the game around by hitting consecutive three-pointers and playing strong defense.

In the end, they swept the Bobcats 4-0 and advanced.

After the game, some "bad" media described Carter's consecutive hits in the fourth quarter, scoring 21 points, as a tribute to his cousin McGrady and Zhou Ze.

After all, both McGrady and Zhou Ze scored 35 points in 13 seconds in the playoffs.

The Atlanta Hawks, ranked third in the Eastern Conference, defeated the Bucks in a Game 7 in their previous life and advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

But now it's different...

The Hawks were swept by the Bucks 4-0.

The Hawks played without fighting spirit throughout the series, and the team's morale was low. They were the first and only team to be defeated in this year's playoffs.

However...

The culprit of the Hawks is none other than Zhou Ze, the current number one basketball player and NBA team-dismantling expert.

At the end of the regular season, Zhou Ze scored 100 points in the game against the Hawks, tying Wilt Chamberlain for the highest single-game score in NBA history.

This game can be said to have plucked all the feathers out of the Eagles...

After the game, the Eagles were hit by all kinds of negative public opinion.

The Atlanta owner is considering sending away the "wasted prince of the Hawks" - Josh Smith, and the civilian version of Kobe - One-on-One Joe during the offseason to rebuild the team.

The fourth-placed Boston Celtics went all out in the playoffs, sweeping the Miami Heat, led by Dwyane Wade, 4-1. They will now face the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

After the series, Wade faced the media with a determined look, a resounding voice, and a hint of anger as he said, "This situation will never happen again next year."

Wade's words undoubtedly sounded the alarm for the Heat's management.

If you can't find me a strong helper this offseason, I will definitely not sign the next contract with the Heat.

Soon, the media revealed that the Heat management was approaching Chris Bosh, the big fish that appeared in the NBA free market this year.

The playoffs between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Denver Nuggets kicked off on May 2010, 05.

The two teams are old rivals in the playoffs, and they are very familiar with each other's offensive and defensive routines.

This season, Carmelo Anthony has become more mature than before, and his desire for the championship has reached its peak.

It's just that facing the Lakers' defense, it's difficult for Anthony to play at his season average efficiency.

In the first round Game 1, the Los Angeles Lakers' defensive strategy against Melo Anthony.

The player sent to defend in the first half was PJ Tucker. PJ Tucker's tonnage, strength and speed are all comparable to Anthony, but he is a little behind in height, but the difference is not big.

Anthony's offensive efficiency was quite good in the first quarter. He used the jump shot after running without the ball. Although Tucker's defense was quite good and did not give Anthony a wide space to shoot, Anthony's jump shot after receiving the ball and the three-threat when facing close defense after receiving the ball allowed him to make 8 of 5 shots in the first quarter, 3 of 1 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws, scoring 14 points in a single quarter.

But after the first quarter, the Nuggets were still trailing by 9 points, 34 to 43.

The reason they are still behind is not that the Lakers' shooting percentage in the first quarter was more efficient. On the contrary, their shooting percentage was 3 percentage points lower than that of the Nuggets. However... the Lakers had 7 more offensive rounds than the Nuggets.

The extra 7 times were due to the offensive rebounds grabbed by Zhou Ze.

Brazil's muscular man "Nene Hilario" and the 2000 NBA No. draft pick "Kenyon Martin" were dominated by Zhou Ze in terms of rebounds.

The Nuggets' twin towers grabbed 2 rebounds in the first quarter...

But Zhou Ze alone got 10, including 6 offensive rebounds.

also...

Although Zhou Ze only scored 8 points in the first quarter, he had 2 and-ones, and all of them were obtained under the defense of Kenyon Martin.
