The first round of the playoffs:
west:

Mavericks (1) vs Suns (8), Spurs (4) vs Lakers (5),
Nuggets (2) vs Trail Blazers (7), Kings (3) vs Timberwolves (6),
east:

篮网（1）vs魔术（8），活塞（4）vs76人（5），
Wizards (2) vs Celtics (7), Pacers (3) vs Hornets (6).
.

After two days of rest at the end of the regular season, the playoffs began one after another.

The Nuggets easily swept the Trail Blazers 4-0. There were no accidents in the process, but it was relaxed and enjoyable.

Throughout the series, the Nuggets averaged a margin of 24 points per game over the Trail Blazers, and each game turned into garbage time in the second half of the third quarter.

Li Nan's performance is very stable, averaging 25.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game. He hasn't exerted much strength yet, so he is not needed in the game.His teammates played so hard, he just had to sit on the bench and watch.

In other games, there were no surprises, and the high-ranked teams all defeated the low-ranked opponents.

east:

The 76ers led by Iverson were killed by the Pistons with a group of "grassroots" players.

After the game, Larry Brown and the 76ers officially announced that they had broken up peacefully!

The owner of the 76ers really liked Iverson. In the end, his choice was to keep Iverson and abandon the team's chief engineer Larry Brown.

Larry Brown also hugged Iverson before leaving,

"Do it yourself, kid."

Child, Iverson is still a child in Larry Brown's eyes, a stubborn child.

Iverson has been looking forward to it for so many years, and finally squeezed out Larry Brown.However, after Larry Brown left, Iverson suddenly felt a little sentimental again.

No one will control him anymore, and no one can control him anymore.

"Ah~~~"

.

The Magic team led by McGrady fought hard for 7 games, and finally lost 3:4 to the No. [-] Nets in the East, and the Black Eight failed.

McGrady's single-core team led the team to the playoffs at the end of the regular season, and also beat Li Nan by 0.4 points, Kobe Bryant by 0.5 points, and Iverson by 0.5 points, becoming the scoring leader this season.

Although it was a pity to lose in the first round of the playoffs, McGrady's performance was still very good.

场均34.5分4篮板5.2助攻，几次都是麦迪在关键时刻拯救了球队，不然魔术早就被篮网4-0干掉了。

However, in the end, two fists are no match for four hands.What's more, the Nets Kidd, Nowitzki, Kenyon Martin, Jefferson, the strength of the quartet is still a bit powerful.

Orlando fans still love Tracy McGrady.

However, Orlando fans are dissatisfied with the management.

"We have the best shooting guard in the league, why can't we help Tracy find a strong helper?"

The management of the Magic team is also suffering.

Why didn't we look for it, isn't Grant Hill a good helper?
However, this cannot be said.

Are they going to force us to sell Grant?

However, who wants such a Hill?
It is really too difficult for the Magic to reinforce.

"Oh~~~"

Another sigh.

.

The Pacers beat the Hornets 4-0, and the Wizards also got rid of the Celtics 4-0.

During the regular season, the Wizards "familiarized" with the Celtics.When they met in the playoffs, the two sides also had a brilliant friction.

Of course, it was the spark that the Wizards used to push the Celtics to the ground with experience.

Jordan is not as fierce as the 40+ in the regular season, but he used his own experience to blow up the Celtics' small forward Paul Pierce.

Before the start of the game, when Jordan shook hands with Pierce, while Pierce was not paying attention, he directly used Pierce's hand as a grip.

"Young man, you are still too young."

Pierce missed a goal, and Jordan came to say a few words: "Boy, didn't you say that? This is your era now? But, why are you still so useless?"

Jordan threw a ball over Pierce's head, and he aimed at Pierce in front of him: "You almost covered me, come on, boy."

The ubiquitous trash talk on the court made it impossible for Paul Pierce to enter the game with peace of mind.

And Jordan bullied him for a while, and Pippen came to mess with him again.The two old guys teamed up, and Pierce directly exploded in this series and completely lost himself.

The Celtics' core players played poorly, but the Wizards had Yao Liang stand up.

The sophomore Yao Liang played very confidently. He completely beat the Celtics insider Tony Batty.

With an average of 31 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 4.2 blocks per game, Yao Liang completely dominated the game.

Relying on Yao Liang's excellent performance in the interior, relying on Jordan and Pippen's smack talk, the Wizards easily reached the second round of the playoffs.

.

west:

The Kings defeated the Timberwolves 4-0 without giving their opponents any chance.

The Mavericks defeated the Suns 4-2 to advance. The process was a bit thrilling, but the Mavericks still came through.

Of course, Mavericks fans know that this is just the beginning.Nobody had much hope for the Mavericks.

After all, no one dares to trust them too much for the Mavericks' sudden death at any time.

.

And the most surprising thing is the Spurs vs. Lakers game.

Many experts believe that the Lakers will take down the Spurs.The result is not!
The Spurs beat the Lakers 4-2 in the first round.

After the game, the media also came out to make trouble,

"38 shots? 37 points? Kobe like this is useless to the Lakers at all."

"If Shaq doesn't practice his free throws well, then he may just be the strongest center in people's mouths in his life. Without achievements, you are nothing, and history will forget you!"

"The contradiction of the OK combination is already very obvious."

"After this season, the Lakers will have to make a choice, Shaq or Kobe?"

Lakers fans have already started preparing for a rally and parade. Some support Kobe, some support O'Neal, and some feel that the management is incompetent and failed to find a better helper for the OK team.

More people were laughing behind their backs.

The OK combination, the strongest OK combination was KO'd by the little-known Spurs in this way. This is definitely great news for other teams that have advanced to the second round.

.

Second round against:

west:

Mavericks (1) vs Spurs (4), Nuggets (2) vs Kings (3),
east:

Nets (1) vs Pistons (4), Wizards (2) vs Pacers (3).
