This time the steal represents a lot of things, even the fans can see that Snyder's strategy is completely unworkable. √

In the following time, Snyder tried many small strategies and adjustments, but it did not work at all. When the game entered the fourth quarter, even if he was reluctant, he had to recognize the fact that Tang Shuai's defensive strength improved.

121-1o8, the Lakers beat the Jazz in the opening game of the playoffs and won their first playoff victory.

The Big Three performed very well in this game.

Tang Shuai played 26 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists in 28 minutes. Westbrook played for 32 minutes, 21 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists. Cousins, who played the best, played for 35 minutes, scored 24 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks. The three giants scored a total of 71 points, 28 rebounds, 17 assists and 3 blocks, which was the team's biggest siege to win.

In general, in the first game between both sides, the three giants showed their strength and level, which was also a relatively fierce competition between the two sides.

The Jazz, who lost their dependence on, had obviously been very difficult to gain advantage in front of the Lakers.

In the week I wrote down, the Big Three led the Lakers to win continuously, not only at home but also away games.

In the fourth game between the two sides, Snyder and his Jazz were both depressed, including the home fans, and the silence was dead.

After four games, the Lakers successfully eliminated their opponents 4-o and advanced to the second round of the playoffs.

This is also the easiest playoff round Tang Shuai has played since he entered the NBA.

The Jazz were eliminated, and the Lakers were waiting for their opponents in the second round.

At this time, the first round of the East and West matches had already reached a certain level.

In the East, the Cavaliers were quite mature against the 76ers and did not give the youth team any chance. In the end, they also defeated their opponents 4-0 and averaged 2o+ per game. It is particularly worth mentioning that Anthony's state. After the running-in in the second half of the season, he has completely integrated into the Cavaliers. His contribution on the court is one level higher than Love's. The 21 points he averaged per game in the playoffs is also second only to James, and he is higher than Irving. It can be seen that his supplement to the Cavaliers is a big step to improving the team's strength.

Compared to the Cavaliers' relaxation, the game between the Pacers and the Knicks is extremely fierce. Paul George's performance under Porzingis' defense has declined a lot compared to the regular season. In addition, Jefferson played with an injury and has played 2-2 with the Knicks so far, and the situation is in jeopardy.

In the match between third and sixth in the Western Conference, the Celtics also played stably in the playoffs after two consecutive seasons of training, especially Horford's presence made their swing more stable in the anxious moments. They have led the Hawks 3-1 in the series, especially in the fourth game, where they won a big victory with a big victory and the promotion situation is very good.

The last set of matches was between the Bulls and the Pistons. Originally, the fourth and fifth places in the regular season were the most fiercely contested, but in front of the experienced Bulls, the Pistons once again paid tuition for their immatureness. The Bulls' current 3-1 lead also shows the strength gap between the two teams.

This is the situation in the east. Basically, the semi-finals have been confirmed. It depends on who can laugh to the end before the Pacers and the Knicks.

The record of the East can be said to be expected, but in comparison, the West seems to be more plot-like.

The Lakers eliminated the Jazz 4-o, and the Warriors defeated the Trail Blazers 4-o, and both teams competed for the championship showed very strong competitiveness.

Compared with these two groups of matchups, the remaining two groups are the most surprising.

The Rockets ranked third in the Eastern Conference this season, and are better than the Clippers in terms of strength. However, so far in the series between the two sides, the score is 1-3. The Rockets are behind. Paul has shown a strong competitive state in this playoffs. He averaged 28.7 points, 5, 6 rebounds and 11.4 assists per game in four games, and felt like he dreamed of returning to the peak of his youth.

However, in fact, the excellent point guards are getting more and more demons as they get older. Paul's swing just shows his ability.

The remaining matchup is also surprising. Although the Spurs are facing Duncan's retirement, the main lineup of Leonard and Aldridge is still there. Including Farid, who was traded in the offseason, and Popovich's overall strength has not retreated much compared to previous years. However, in the duel against the Timberwolves this year, they played very passively, especially the restrictions on Towns were not good. The latter is seeking both internal and external lines and is currently leading 3-1 in the big score. The Spurs are likely to be eliminated in the round just like in 2o15.

The Lakers' next matchup is the winner of the Rockets and Clippers.

The next game between the Rockets and the Clippers was played at the Toyota Center in Houston, where Swift invited Shuai Tang to watch the game on site.

Shuai Tang agreed. In fact, even if Swift did not invite him, he would go to the scene to watch the game between the two sides. After all, this determines their opponent in the next round.

When they arrived at the scene, Tang Shuai, Paul, Jordan and other old teammates met, which was also here to cheer for them.

Because the Rockets were eliminated if they lost another game, the Rockets played very fiercely in this game, and the Clippers seemed a little uncomfortable. Not only did the scene seem passive, but they were also about ten behind in the score.

In the game, a small episode of kissing scene was created in the game, and the live photographer actually gave the camera to Tang Shuai and Swift, which immediately caused a burst of cheers and cheers on the scene.

Even themselves were obviously stunned.

"kiss!kiss!" The audience was constantly making excitement.

Of course, it was impossible for Tang Shuai to actually kiss Swift, but under the pressure of the fans and the photographer's face (who never moved away from the camera), the two finally made a face-to-face action, which immediately caused boos from the audience.

However, the effect was achieved. Both of them turned red, and they were obviously a little overwhelmed by this little episode.

After the game entered the fourth quarter, the Clippers, led by Paul, launched a Jedi counterattack.

The scores of both sides were only 2 points left when they narrowed a little bit, and the Rockets were soon to be blacklisted by the Clippers.

At the critical moment, Harden stood up to prolong the team's life. He made consecutive strong shots, demonstrating his strength in the top three of MVP, helping the Rockets stabilize the situation and also bringing a victory to home fans.

At the end of the game, the audience was cheering wildly. After this game, the scores of both sides became 2-3. Although they were still behind in the score, after the classic 1-3 turnaround in 2o15, they were obviously confident that they could do it again.

After the game, Tang Shuai went to the Clippers' locker room and comforted his former teammates. In the locker room, he also met former head coach Kassel, and the two masters and apprentices naturally had a lot of communication.

The Rockets regained a game, which also made the Lakers' opponent's determination in the next round delayed by at least 2 days, and the players could only rely on training to maintain their game feeling.

After the training on this day, Swift once again invited Tang Shuai to have a meal outside.

Although it was just a dinner party between friends, everyone could see that their friendship was heating up rapidly.

On May 2, US time, the 6th game between the Clippers and the Rockets was played at the Staples Center Arena.

In this game, Lakers players appeared in the stands as viewers.

The Clippers played against third as sixth and were ahead in the big score, which attracted many fans to come and cheer for the home team.

The support of fans also made the Clippers full of morale. Although the Rockets still played fiercely, the Clippers had a more successful rate. They have always taken the initiative on the field from beginning to end.

1o8 to 1o1. In the end, with Paul's continuous swing at the last moment, the Clippers narrowly defeated the Rockets at home, thus eliminating the opponent with a 4-1 draw, and avoiding the Rockets' 1-3 reversal.

At the end of the game, Paul lowered his head and kissed the game venue, and the Clippers were also excited to cry.

Tang Shuai was traded and Griffin left, and the former Clippers were only Paul and Jordan Jr., but it is indeed something that is exciting and touching to achieve the following.

The end of this game also determines the second round of showdown, with the Lakers and the Clippers going to have a city derby with the Clippers in the next week.

After the game, Tang Shuai got off the court and hugged Paul tightly. Even if the two teams were going to fight each other in two days, when they saw the Clippers advance, Tang Shuai was proud of their former teammates.

After the sixth game between the Clippers and the Rockets, the first round of playoff matches has basically ended, and even the second round has begun for some time.

Like the Cavaliers, because the Bulls eliminated the Pistons 4-1, they had already competed with one game. The Cavaliers finally defeated the Bulls 132-119 at home, and the strength of the defending champion was fully demonstrated.

In the remaining duel, the Pacers adjusted their state and successfully eliminated the Knicks in two straight games to advance to the second round. Their opponent was the Celtics, who had already advanced.

In the Western Conference, the Spurs showed unprecedented tenacity, winning two games in a row when they were behind 1-3, forcibly dragging the game into tiebreak. Moreover, due to the record, the tiebreak was still played in San Antonio. The poor Minnesotan had a great chance of being eliminated when he held three match points.

And under such a complicated situation, on May 4, US time, after nearly a week of rest, the Lakers were at home and faced the challenge of their city rivals, the Clippers.
