Chapter 1324 The second round begins!
After the game on April 24, the Celtics, Spurs and Cavaliers advanced to the second round one after another, so three teams have already been eliminated.

There are only [-] teams in the Eastern and Western playoffs, and now three have been declared out, so there are only [-] teams left.

among them.

The battle between the Raptors and the Pacers is basically coming to an end.

Although the Pacers are very powerful, they are not strong enough after all, and they are still behind for the time being.

The duel between the Raptors and the Heat is still a bit subtle, and the two sides are playing inextricably.

When the final winners emerge from these four teams, the Eastern Conference will announce that they have finished the first round.

And because only one team in the West has advanced to the second round, the Spurs, it depends on other games.

In the next five days, the Celtics, Spurs, and Cavaliers almost all took a break because of their early promotion.

Fortunately, they didn't stop training, otherwise they wouldn't be able to play for such a long time in the playoffs, it would still be a little troublesome.

As the game progressed to the end of April, other teams almost entered the next round.

in this way.

This is how the teams in the East advanced to the second round.

Celtics and Cavaliers, Raptors and Eagles.

Spurs and Thunder, Warriors and Trail Blazers.

What's a little shocking about this is that I originally thought that the Clippers would eventually make it to the second round, but who would have thought that the final result would be a big upset!

The Trail Blazers, who had been underestimated since the beginning of the season, actually exploded early at this time.

When they lost first and then won, they actually humiliated the Clippers with a score of 4:2!

The lineups of the two sides are not proportional at all, and the core players are also the Clippers!
But in the end, the Clippers were out, which is unbelievable!

But that's what the playoffs are about.

As long as you are willing to work hard, the team is doing well, the lineup is in place, and the coach gives you some energy, you will still be able to enter the next round after all.

Just say the Clippers.

They need a lineup, a core, and a champion coach, Doc Rivers, is really heading for the forefront of the Western Conference.

But now?

They actually fought like this, which is simply incomprehensible.

But looking at their performance on the court, it can basically be concluded that they are the ones who should be out.

This is the end.

With all the teams that should have entered the second round, on April [-]th, the second round match finally began.

According to the consistent nature of the league, the schedule will definitely be very long.

In the second round, the power of the alliance began to show.

On the [-]th, there was only one game between the Spurs and the Thunder.

Spurs home.

The fans who were able to come almost surrounded the entire stadium.

This year is a somewhat unusual season for the Spurs.

If this team was in full swing, it was a kind of excitement and enthusiasm, then in this time period, it is a kind of honor.

Everyone knows, including the Spurs' own fans, that Duncan and the others don't have a few years to play.

Now at the end of their careers, it feels really good to see the team have a chance to hit the championship again.

From another point of view, this also corresponds to that sentence, watching one game less, you don't know whether these old men will play next season.

In the arena.

For the sake of enthusiastic fans, the team has allocated a lot of extra seats this year.

But there are more fans who want to enter the stadium to watch the game, and those who failed to come in can only say sorry.

have to say.

The ball market in San Antonio is very interesting.

They are not a big market team, but whether it is the regular season, the playoffs, or even the finals, the attendance here is always very impressive.

Just like the temperament of the Spurs, low-key but very awesome.

Visiting team locker room.

Whether it's Westbrook, or the newcomers like Zach Laven and Olynik, their moods are somewhat complicated now.

They will be excited to enter the second round, but they can't help but worry when they see the opponent is the Spurs.

All of them know that the most stable team in this league is the Spurs.

Now that I run into them, it would be a lie not to be nervous.

Simply because most of them are young people, that kind of mentality almost recovered after a while.

Do it if you don't accept it!

The Thunder have exemplified the meaning of that phrase this season.

Since the opponent is known to be strong, it is the most fulfilling time to beat them down.

soon.

Players from both sides appear on the field.

Watching the fans in the sky welcome the home team players with cheers, followed by soaring boos to the Thunder who came from afar.

The coaching styles of both coaches are basically clear.

Especially Popovich.

Regardless of his character, he is the most stable and most ruthless coach in the league.

And Billy Donovan, who just coached the Thunder this season, is like Bratt Stevens. Now the NCAA is famous and has won two championship trophies.

this season.

He was able to lead the team to such a record while Durant was leaving, which is really a very good thing.

After all, NCAA coaches, aside from Stevens, those seniors are not particularly good.

Now that the two of them have appeared one after another, it can be said to be bright for a while.

Then there is the appearance ceremony or something.

With the starting lists of both sides given, the players on both sides walked onto the court in a short while.

There is something about the Thunder's starting lineup, which can be described as both offensive and defensive.

There are Westbrook and Zach LaVine in the backcourt, and Steven Adams and Serge Ibaka in the frontcourt.

As for why Olynyk was not included, after the deal was completed, the Thunder regarded him as an X player and played in the second team.

He has a strong sense of space and can always create opportunities on the outside.

Either he stands in a high position to support, or he uses his shooting ability to score points, which can be said to be like a fish in water.

The Spurs here.

After they traded for Aldridge, Duncan went to the center position.

Needless to say, the ability of small forward Leonard, the backcourt combination of Danny Green and Tony Parker is also very good.

But if they want to play this game, the first thing they have to do is limit the Thunder's scoring.

Because the Thunder's players have proven themselves, their offense can be a storm, and it can also be Gatlin's fire.

If they are given a chance to continue, their offense will be terrible!
of course.

The Spurs are no ordinary team.

They have fought many of the same opponents over the years, and they all know how to fight.

Start playing!
Jump balls aren't the Spurs' strong suit, and Ibaka got the ball for the Thunder with ease.

The Thunder's advance was not very fast and looked very cautious.

The Spurs swung their horses and waited for them to be in place.

Suddenly!

The Thunder seemed to have made an agreement. While the Spurs were not paying attention, Ibaka and Adams suddenly ran to the sides, causing Duncan and Aldridge to follow subconsciously, followed by Andre Robertson's sudden cover.

Westbrook rushed into the hinterland of the Spurs in an instant, unreasonably soaring into the sky.

Bang!
The explosive one-handed buckle looks so powerful!
