The first round of the playoffs officially kicked off on April 16.

The East and West will each play two games first.

The Toronto Raptors faced off against the Indiana Pacers at home. The Raptors, who were originally optimistic about this game, received a slap in the face.

Playing at home, the second-place team in the Eastern Conference lost to the Pacers 90-100. They lost a home game first, which made Adelman, who took over the Pacers this season, very happy.

Adelman was always smiling at the post-game press conference.

Another game in the Eastern Conference was the Eagles playing against the Celtics at home. Although the Eagles won the game, the score was very thrilling, 102 to 101. The Eagles won the game with a 1-point advantage.

After the game, Hawks fans and the local media in Atlanta were not satisfied with the Hawks' performance. After their sudden failure in the playoffs last season, their performance in the playoffs this season was frightening.

Budenholzer was also greatly questioned after the game.

Even because of this game, the Eagles' winning odds on bookmakers have increased a lot.

This also means that the outside world is not optimistic about the Eagles.

The Western Conference also played two games.

The Warriors face the Trail Blazers at home.

In the end, the Warriors relied on the cooperation of Curry and Thompson to easily defeat the Trail Blazers 112-98.

Da Zhuang also watched the live broadcast of this game. To be honest, the fighting ability shown by the Warriors in this game made Da Zhuang frown, especially the state and feel of Curry and Thompson.

Zhuang was speechless. He really doubted that Cole had a system. Otherwise, Curry's three-point shooting percentage in the whole game reached 68%. This is so scary. Those three-point shots

It makes the scalp feel numb.

Da Zhuang also feels that the Warriors this season will be the biggest stumbling block on his road to establishing a dynasty.

Da Zhuang has a hunch that this season's Western Conference Finals will basically be the Warriors.

Fortunately, they saved nearly 200 points in the second half of the previous regular season, otherwise Da Zhuang would really have no confidence in this playoffs.

In another Western Conference game, the Spurs faced the Clippers at home.

In the end, the Clippers led by Paul had the last laugh this time.

Paul played 40 minutes and contributed 31 points, 4 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 steals, helping the Clippers defeat the Spurs 104-96.

As a result, the Spurs lost a home court.

The time finally came to April 17th. In the afternoon, the entire Dallas Mavericks team arrived at the Target Center in a very low-key manner. McHale was also very low-key during the interview and kept talking about how strong the Timberwolves were.

They will try their best to win, even if the hope is slim, as long as the players try their best.

Da Zhuang doesn't care whether you are low-key or high-profile. Let's not talk about other things. It's just the grievances between the two sides. Da Zhuang doesn't just praise me in a low-key way and call it a day. Besides, in the playoffs, Da Zhuang always believes in one thing.

There is no weak team that can enter the playoffs. The lion still has to use its full strength to beat the rabbit. Da Zhuang still knows this truth.

Besides, this is the Timberwolves' first playoff game this season. Da Zhuang also hopes to use the game to boost the team's morale, so even though he knows that Dallas is not as strong as himself, Da Zhuang still wastes 50 points and chooses one.

Three red buffs.

Within thirty minutes, the three-point shooting percentage increases by 10%, and the pick-and-roll screen ability increases by 20%. Each successful completion of a pick-and-roll screen can increase the three-point shooting percentage of the host's designated player by 2%. (Power forward single

person buff.)

Within thirty minutes, the defensive ability is increased by 20%. Each successful defense can increase the three-point shooting percentage of a player designated by the host by 2%. (Single forward buff)

Within thirty minutes, the open three-point shooting rate increases by 20%, the pick-and-roll three-point shooting rate increases by 10%, and the passing success rate increases by 20%. (Single guard buff.)

Although it seems that the attributes are very ordinary, it actually looks like three positions of supplementary defense, but in fact it is a blessing that allows four people to have attributes.

Soon after both sides finished their warm-up, both sides returned to the locker room for final arrangements.

"Viewers, good morning, welcome to watch Penguin Sports bring you a game in the first round of the Western Conference of the NBA 2015-2016 playoffs. The two sides are the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Dallas Mavericks. This season the two sides have played against each other a lot.

This time, the Timberwolves can be said to have an absolute advantage. We have just got the starting lineups of both sides. Now we ask Director Zhang to introduce the starting lineups of both sides for this game and talk about his own views."

"Good morning everyone, before today's game started, many people also made predictions about the starting lineups of both sides of this game. Judging from the starting lineups of both sides we have now, the Mavericks' starting lineup is a bit disappointing.

Unexpectedly, head coach McHale actually sent a three-back lineup. Now we are still a little confused about who of these three players is playing the first position, who is playing the second position or the third position. The starting five are Rubio.

, Deron Williams, Matthews, Nowitzki and Majory.”

"Zhang pointed out, McHale's move is really a strange move, but I'm afraid this lineup will suffer from height disadvantages against the Timberwolves."

"Yes, there are no surprises in the Timberwolves' starting lineup. Dinwiddie, Middleton, Bennett, Jokic and Oden make up the Timberwolves' starting five. Once this lineup comes out, I'm afraid the Mavericks will

It is difficult to take advantage of the outside perimeter. Of course, since McHale has chosen this lineup, he does not rule out targeted tactics. Looking at it now, the Mavericks do not have an advantage in terms of height, but they may have flexibility.

There are some advantages.”

"Now it depends on the positions of Rubio, Deron Williams and Matthews on the Mavericks side. It is estimated that only then will we know who plays what position."

"I guess Rubio will play the No. 1 position, Deron will play the No. 2 position, and Matthews will be the No. 3 position, because this is the most reasonable. You must know that Rubio is a traditional open position. If he plays the No. 2 position,

We are facing Middleton, so he has to be pressed to the ground and rubbed."

For a time, all the live broadcast rooms broadcasting this game were discussing Dallas' starting lineup. Even Dazhuang was thinking about what McHale wanted to do when he got the Timberwolves' starting lineup.

"What does this guy want to do?" Garnett asked.

"I don't know, it's okay. I'll find out later when the game comes."
