The Lakers also ushered in their first matchup of the playoffs. Their first game will be at home against the San Antonio Spurs.The regular season record of the two teams is 3:1. The Lakers lost the first meeting with the Spurs in the regular season, and the next three games were all won by the Lakers. The biggest reason is because Leonard's absence due to injury, and now the conflict between Leonard and the Spurs is more and more being planned, it seems that he should be traded away with a high probability this summer.The last time the two teams faced each other in the playoffs dates back to the first round of the playoffs in 2013. At that time, the Lakers had a luxurious "Big Five" lineup. White Howard, Steve Nash, Ron Artest.In this lineup, Kobe and Nash are both MVP-level players, and Howard and Artest are the best defensive players in the NBA. Needless to say, Gasol is an NBA All-Star player for many seasons. One of the most delicate inside lines.Fans of this luxurious lineup originally had high hopes for them, but the Lakers management chose D'Antoni, a coach who is good at "running and bombing tactics" in the selection of the head coach, and the average age of the main players of the Lakers is over 30 years old Yes, it belongs to a very, very aging lineup. The Lakers had no way to run, because they pursued a fast-paced offense too much, which led to Gasol being completely marginalized in the Lakers' tactics. Injuries, as well as Artest's rapid aging, the Lakers' winning percentage has been kept below 50% since the start of the season, and it seems that they can't even make the playoffs. After dying of illness, Kobe said at this time: "I will definitely let the Lakers enter the playoffs." Later, Kobe began his own epic performance. His crazy performance led the Lakers to victory in a row, and Kobe was too tired, he fell three times in the game against the Warriors, and finally suffered the most serious injury in his life-a torn Achilles tendon.Everyone knows the subsequent story. Kobe never returned to his peak state, and the Lakers were swept by the Spurs 34-45 without Kobe in the playoffs. The team's Howard was directly expelled for two technical fouls in the fourth game, and then he signed a certain team during the offseason, which made countless Lakers fans hate him.

In the first matchup of the playoffs, the Lakers established a score advantage at the beginning. The Spurs struggled without Leonard's offensive and defensive capabilities. They could only rely on Aldridge's singles to try to gain an advantage, but the Lakers Paul Mark of the team is full of energy every time he meets Aldridge. It is strange to say that although Paul Mark is a rookie in the league, he can always play very well against Aldridge, one of the best power forwards in the league. Good performance, this can't help but make people sigh that one thing is one thing, just like Aldridge can kill the Quartet as soon as he meets a certain team.

In the second quarter, the Spurs played a wave of offensive climax to tie the scores of the two sides, but they hardly let the main players rest, which laid a hidden danger for their second half of the game.Sure enough, after the start of the second half, the main players of the Lakers were full of vitality, while the main players of the Spurs obviously couldn't keep up with their physical strength. In desperation, the head coach of the Spurs Popovich had to send substitute players and The main force of the team competed, but the Lakers led by Wade played very smoothly offensively, hardly giving the Spurs any chance. In the third quarter, the Lakers once again established a 107-point lead.At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Thomas Jr. came on the field to help the Lakers' substitutes stabilize the situation. Whenever the Spurs were about to set off a counterattack climax, Thomas Jr. could always stand up, either by himself or by assisting Kurz. The horse scored, which gave the Spurs a feeling that their fists were hitting cotton, and they couldn't use their strength.In the end, the Lakers defeated the Spurs 92:1 at home and got a good start to the playoffs. They also led the Spurs 0:29 in the big score.Although Aldridge scored 14 points and 25 rebounds, he was still powerless.Paul Mark scored 11 points and [-] rebounds, not losing much to Aldridge.In the first playoff game of his career, Han Ziqi also scored [-] points and [-] assists. In this game, Han Ziqi still mainly shoots three-pointers, because the core of the current tactics of the Lakers is Paul Mark. It is enough to give him space inside. As long as he can win, Han Ziqi is willing to do anything on the court. This is also the thinking of all Lakers players.
