Legend Raiders

Chapter 733
2014 4 Month 19 Day.

After a two-day offseason, the teams entering the playoffs have all been given plenty of time to adjust.

On this day, the league has four games to play.

The first is the East team.

The Bulls and Raptors will be the first game of the playoffs.

The Bulls' ranking in the regular season is just above the Raptors, which allows them to get home court advantage.

The two teams didn't feel like they were fighting each other at the beginning of the game. On the contrary, they played very cautiously, so that the first quarter of the game seemed very boring, and the score naturally wouldn't be high.

But after entering the second quarter, the two teams seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, and suddenly entered a fierce offensive battle.

Well known.

The style of the two teams is basically defensive.

Especially the Bulls.

Under the coaching of Tom Thibodeau, their style has long been fixed as a defensive team.

But without Derrick Rose, they obviously prefer teamwork.

And from the ferocity of the offense in the second quarter, it can be seen that Thibodeau really wants to make changes and give them great offensive power.

The situation of the Raptors is naturally needless to say. Even though Coach Casey is not as good as Thibodeau in terms of reputation, his ability is really not covered.

And like Thibodeau's idea, they both shifted the focus of defense slightly to offense, which seems to be changing!

that's it.

After halftime between the two teams, the score in the first quarter was originally only 18:17. Because of the fierce attack in the second quarter, the score was directly pulled to 55:50, and the Bulls took the lead temporarily.

however.

The previous fierce confrontation seemed to have never happened before. They played a tacit understanding again as soon as they entered the third quarter. They actually gave up offense and put most of their experience on defense.

Such and such.

The third quarter almost turned them into a stagnant pool. The seemingly fierce defense really made it impossible for the fans in the stands to get involved.

Nothing.

Who makes Chicago fans one of the best fans in the league, even if the team plays like an old man, they will get to a certain point.

finally.

The Bulls' defense didn't make their fans any happier.

With the performance of DeRozan and Terrence Ross, the Toronto Raptors played in the final stage and sent a bad gift on their home court.

The Bulls lost to the Raptors in the away game, which seems a bit unexpected, but it is still reasonable.

After all, from the perspective of lineup rationality, the Raptors are more reasonable and neater than the Bulls.

The Bulls lost to the Raptors, followed by the Bobcats and Pacers.

Honestly.

Bobcats and Pacers are really more than one grade worse.

And it can also be seen from this game that the regular season and the playoffs are really not at the same level.

Like the first quarter.

The Bobcats players were obviously over-prepared, and their mental state was very tense. It can be said that the tension completely ruined their game.

Why do you say that?

Because they were under tension, not only did they make a lot more mistakes than in the regular season, but the communication between players was also chaotic.

Although there are veterans in their team, but just one or two, how do you let them suppress it?
Besides, these veterans really came from role players in their careers.

If it had been changed to someone who was more or less well-known, it must have been a different result during the competition.

In the end, their score was fixed at 98:80. The score was relatively not very high, but it also fully explained the problem.

Then there is the game in the West!
Because the regular season record completely crushes the Eastern Conference, their games will be more intense.

The first game was the Clippers at home against the Warriors.

Judging from the lineup of the two teams, whether it is a substitute or a main force, there is no hesitation that the Clippers are great.

At this stage, Curry and Thompson have just gained the full trust of the team and coaches and become stable starters.

If you insist on finding someone comparable to Griffin, Paul and Jordan, David Lee may be one, Jermaine O'Neal at the end of his career is one, and Iguodala is also one.

Looking at it this way, it seems that the Warriors also have their Big Three.

If you add Andrew Bogut and think about their peak period, isn't this the Big Four?
Of course, things can't be counted that way, but the Clippers' record and lineup really have an advantage.

however.

When the game started, the Clippers also appeared in the first quarter. They won the first quarter with a score of 29:24.

But starting from the second quarter, the Clippers, who were supposed to have the upper hand in the game, started to pull the brakes one after another.

In the second quarter of the game, the Warriors won the second quarter with a score of 28:23 by virtue of their full bloom.

Doug Rivers obviously saw something wrong, and kept emphasizing the players' defense during the intermission.

But after the start of the third quarter, Rivers almost rushed onto the court and beat his players hard!
35: 27!

The Warriors took the lead again!

By the fourth quarter, the Clippers finally realized the importance of defense, and the team defended very hard.

However, the Warriors' defense is not vegetarian!

If it was the old Nelson era, the Clippers might come back!
But what they encountered was defensive coach Mark Jackson.

So although the Clippers won the last quarter with 26:22, the final result still hasn't changed. They won a defeat at home!
The East and the West went up and down one after another, which directly ignited the passion of the media.

They set their sights directly on the last game of the day, and everyone wanted to see if the Grizzlies would complete another game at the Thunder's home court.

Although the Grizzlies this season are not the "iron team" that will follow, their energy should not be underestimated.

Needless to say, the Thunder's ability to get the second record in the Western Conference is definitely not due to luck.

But when their game started, the development of things was completely beyond the expectations of all analysts.

As soon as the first quarter came up, the Thunder used an amazing offense to completely destroy the Grizzlies' defense!
Even if "Black Bear" Zach Randolph returns from injury, they still cannot organize an effective defense!
finally.

A surprising difference appeared.

With the astonishing performance of the second youngster, the Thunder scored 29 points fiercely, and teamed up with their teammates to suppress the Grizzlies' score to 16 points horribly!
The full [-]-point difference made the Thunder team very excited.

So after the start of the second quarter, it can be said that the Thunder team went all out again and won the halftime victory with 27:18.

Their combined score in the two quarters has already reached 56 points.

And because of the fierceness of the defensive end, they lead the Grizzlies by as much as 22 points!
Could it be that this game, which was expected by countless people before the game, is about to change from a drama of a counterattack by hanging wires to a real story of a weak chicken getting fucked every minute?
Do not!
The Grizzlies will never agree!

They fought hard to catch up in the third quarter. Whether it was offense or defense, they played a very tough side.

In the end, with an astonishing score of 31:13, they directly nailed the Thunder to death, and also brought their point difference to only 4 points!

have to say.

This quarter already has the shadow of the Grizzlies in the future!
however.

When everyone was excited and looking forward to their rise, the fourth quarter pulled the brakes again!
The Thunder seemed to let go of the water in the third quarter. In the last quarter, they taught the Grizzlies a lesson again and became the final winner with a score of 31:21.

After the first day of the game, both the east and the west brought surprises and expected dramas.

tomorrow!

That is, on April 4, the Celtics game will also follow.
