Veteran Brent Barry and second round rookie Dragic failed to be selected into the Suns' 13-man roster. They played so-called in the team in the regular season and their strength was obviously not as good as teammates.

In the first round, the Suns swept the Nuggets 4-0 and advanced first, averaging 23 points per game.

Guo Xu averaged 34 minutes per game in the series, scoring 30.3 points, 3 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 2 steals, shooting percentage of 50%, three-point shooting percentage of 45.4%, free throw shooting percentage of 90%, and shooting 5 three-pointers per game.

Bibby and Anthony Carter are not fast, and they can't defend Guo Xu one-on-one. He can attract double-teams by catching the ball, and even so, he still scored high scores. It is difficult for the Nuggets to double-team in the counterattack. At least three Suns made a fast attack, and they were free of charge with one shot.

The coaching staff arranged Guo Xu's playing time to change, allowing him to rest for a while in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, and once the score leads more, he will rest and give the substitutes a chance to exercise. D'Antoni did not treat the Nuggets as an opponent at all, but instead trained.

What kind of motivation is the four consecutive championships for basketball coaches? D'Antoni now dares to try any tactics he has come up with. No matter how he plays, he firmly believes that the team can win, even if there is no one on the court who is more than two meters tall.

The Nuggets' only advantage is Anthony, the star small forward Cameron. He averaged 27+6+4 star data per game, and other positions were exposed.

Bibby's strength is obviously not as strong as Billups, and the Nuggets exchanged Iverson for him to be unable to pass the first round. After this game, Anthony was a little fed up and considered leaving the Nuggets to go to a strong team that could compete for the championship.

Although the Nuggets have introduced many high-paying players, the lineup has always been unreasonable, almost all of which are high-paying and low-capacity. The management's team building idea is problematic, and Anthony has no future to stay here. Kenyon and Martin's high-paying long-term appointment alone will make the Nuggets tightly, otherwise they would not have sent Marcus Camby away with just one second-round draft pick.

In other games, the Lakers eliminated the Timberwolves 4-1 and will challenge the Suns in the second round.

Al Jefferson performed well in the regular season and entered the playoffs to face the Shield center Bogut. His data suddenly dropped to an average of 15 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 44.7%.

The two Timberwolves swingers, Rudy Guy and Josh Howard, were also limited by the Lakers' swingers' formation, and their shooting percentage was greatly reduced. Artest, Bathier, and Joe Johnson can perform wheel battles on the defensive end.

The Lakers' offensive end is a combination of triangular offense, inside and outside, and Monta Ellis' breakthrough is a huge threat to the Timberwolves.

This season, Ellis has become a big dark horse among players, averaging 33 minutes per game, scoring 18.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 4 assists, and shooting percentage is 47.5%.

Since he is still a substitute, he may win the Best Sixth Man Award this year and compete with Jason Terry, who averaged 19.6 points and 3.4 assists per game.

Ellis is a person whose destiny has been changed. No one in the triangular offensive system said that he is a cancer and has high efficiency in single-handed fights. Because he signed a small contract, he has also become one of the representatives of low-paying and high-energy figures in the league.

In the summer of 2008, Ellis, who lived in Los Angeles, did not ride an electric bicycle, causing a torn deltoid ligament in his left ankle, and was lucky enough to escape a serious injury and a farce.

He is a double-athlete guard, with guaranteed playing time, and his partner Fisher and Joe Johnson are both good results. Both of them are strong players, and the team will let Ellis defend the speed guards at the main and play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

The Rockets eliminated the Mavericks 4-1.

Yao Ming averaged 21.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1.3 blocks per game, and beat Danpier, who scored 5 points and 6 rebounds. Danpier, who was defending Yao Ming only had one game, so Yao Ming's shooting percentage dropped to 40%, but in fact he felt bad.

In addition to Nowitzki, the biggest highlight of the Mavericks is Ariza. He averaged 13 points, 6 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game in the series, shooting percentage of 49.2%, and three-point shooting percentage of 47.6%. Ariza was in a state of excitement but did not make much moves. Terry, who had a lot of moves, performed poorly in this series, with an overall shooting percentage of less than 40%.

There was also a big upset in the first round of the Western Conference. The Spurs were eliminated by the Grizzlies 1-4 when they had a home advantage.

The Grizzlies are the best team to play, while the Spurs lack the important star Ginobili.

Ginobili has many disasters this season, and he has been fighting and stopping. He first missed 12 games with his left ankle surgery; then missed 1 game with his left hip contusion; and missed 19 games with his right ankle pain; finally he was reimbursed for stress fractures on his right ankle.

Ginobili was injured because of fatigue. His ankle injury has not been neat and he has not received enough rest. In the 2008 Beijing Olympics, he challenged the US team on behalf of Argentina for an ankle injury. He left the court with an injury on the spot. He returned to the game after the new season started too quickly.

If it weren't for the injury, Ginobili should have a better career, and he just scored his peak data last season and then declined.

Danny Granger strengthened the wing after joining the Spurs. His breakthrough ability is average and he is not suitable for ball attacking. George Hill is just a rookie, which is very embarrassing. In order to enhance breakthroughs and organization, the Spurs traded in the mid-term, but Alstom and Parker played as a double defender together, and the outside defense will suffer.

Alstom's performance in this series disappointed Popovich. His shooting was too bad, with only 38% shooting percentage and 31.6% three-point shooting percentage.

His defensive ability is also average, and he was at a disadvantage against Grizzlies' substitute point guard Nate Robinson.

Nate not only knows how to dunk, he is very fast and skilled in dribbling skills, but as a point guard, he is a weakness and a tragic height. In the fifth game, he scored 27 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and was an important contributor to the Grizzlies' winning goal.

In the inside competition, Duncan could not compete with the "Two Bears" Gasol and Randolph alone. The Grizzlies' substitute inside Javier McGee also performed well, and he could grab the board and block the ball after playing.

McGee averaged 15 minutes per game in the series, scoring 6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks, and shooting percentage was 50.8%.

In the first round of the Eastern Conference matchup, the Cavaliers swept the Nets 4-0 cleanly.

James and Mo Williams outperformed Vince Carter and Devin Harris.

Harris' regular season data was very good. When he met the league team in the playoffs, he became a player. He did not shoot at mid- and long distances and did not break into the penalty area. He averaged only 13+5 per game, and his shooting percentage was less than 40%.

In the inside competition, Boozer averaged 20.5 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 56.2%; David Lee played for 30 minutes, scoring 15.3 points, 10 rebounds and 1 assist, with a shooting percentage of 50.7%.

On the surface, David Lee seemed to perform well, but in fact he was an important reason for the Nets' loss. He was too bad to defend against pick-and-rolls, and was casually passed by the defender, missing people again and again. He couldn't defend Boozer one-on-one, so he could only resist with one close hand, lacked blocking and interfering shooting ability, and was only good at grabbing rebounds.

The Suns management does not regret trading David Lee. He is a regular season player. The unimportant game data can be very beautiful. Once a tough battle needs to be strengthened, he is better off sitting off the court.

With the luxurious data of averaging 16 points, 11.4 rebounds and 2 assists in the regular season, David Li Xiatian should be able to get a big contract. There will be a team willing to offer him a high salary and long contract. I wonder if the Nets will match. Let David Li go, and the Nets can rebuild next season.

Magic eliminated 76 people 4-2, without any danger.

The Hawks eliminated the Raptors 4-2 and played very fiercely. The Raptors had the advantage in the inside and the Hawks had the advantage in the outside.
