[Subscriptions are growing slowly. Please give me a few subscriptions to book friends who are qualified, especially the first subscription.]

Jiang Jun was so powerful in the playoffs, which made the experts who disdain Jiang Jun shut up.

Throughout the regular season, Jiang Jun's performance was as stable as ever and was praised by most fans and critics. However, some people often criticized Jiang Jun for various psychology.

Their biggest reason is that Jiang Jun has not experienced the test of the playoffs.

In their eyes, the playoffs are the real game, and the regular season results are just clouds in the playoffs.

Jiang Jun played against the sky in his first playoff game of his career, and it seemed that he still had potential to tap.

If Jiang Jun had not been committed to defending and assisting in the last few minutes to save the fruits of victory, he would have likely obtained more terrifying data.

What made the opponent even more desperate was that he had no attempt in the last stage, and all of the previous dozen attempts were hit.

So the day after the game, major media around the world almost showed a one-sided situation.

"The epoch-making superstars are rising!"

"The Bobcat leader beats the walker!"

"Chinese magical boys rampage NBA!"

"A real superstar appeared in the NBA league!"

Major media reported on Jiang Jun's heroic performance with the title of "not surprisingly verbal words".

Jiang Jun and his teammates used their rare rest time to hone their tactics and prepare for the second game of tomorrow's playoffs.

"They should be desperate in the second game, because if they lose two consecutive away games, the hope of advancement will be pitiful." Old Brown earnestly gave his disciples the epidemic prevention injection.

However, considering that the team has been doing their best to win streaks in the last few games of the regular season, which led to insufficient physical fitness in the first game and falling behind in the score for most of the time. Brown, the old man simply ran the tactics this time.

Brown is already very familiar with this model in the playoffs and has also studied the Pacers very thoroughly. He firmly believes that as long as his team performs normally, it will not be a problem to achieve two consecutive home wins.

Because in the first game, except Jiang Jun, Jackson scored 17 points and Yao Ming scored 16 points, and everyone else's attacks still have certain potential to tap.

There are also four games today, three of which are from the West.

What is surprising is that the Spurs, the No. 1 record in the Western Conference, actually lost to the Memphis Grizzlies, the No. 8 in the Western Conference, which surprised the fans.

The hero of the Grizzlies is Sean Bathir. The Grizzlies lost a 6-point lead in the last 3 minutes. Bathir made a key three-pointer in the second before the final game, and the Grizzlies took the lead. He made 4 of 5 shots in the game and scored 10 points. The Grizzlies defeated the Spurs 101-98 away and won the first game of the playoffs.

Grizzlies' player Zach Randolph took the last two regular season breaks and scored 25 points and 14 rebounds today. Espanyol Mark Gasol scored 24 points and 9 rebounds, while Mike Conley scored 15 points and 10 assists.

Old **Vic has always used his troops like a god. He allowed Duncan to keep a low profile in the last few games of the regular season, and the results were good. Duncan showed his majestic appearance at the beginning of the playoffs, scoring 16 points and 13 rebounds in the first game. Ginobili was absent due to injury, and Tony Parker scored 20 points and 5 assists. Matt Bonner made two three-pointers in the last moment and scored 12 points.

In the last game of the regular season, the Grizzlies gave several main players a rest and deliberately lost to the Clippers, thus ranking eighth, which also means that they chose to play the Spurs in the first round and avoided the Lakers or Mavericks.

At the post-match press conference, Duncan had a good opinion on this, "The Grizzlies played well in the last two games of the regular season. They felt that they had an advantage in the match against us, so they chose us and they got what they wanted, so let's take a look."

Grizzlies coach Hollins doesn't want to stimulate the Spurs. No matter what, this is a veteran opponent. He denied the "choice statement", "My thoughts have nothing to do with the Spurs at all. We just want to stay healthy, no matter who the opponent in the playoffs is."

In the first half of the game, the Grizzlies proved that their choice was correct and they were hard to match with the Spurs. The two teams tied many times in the first quarter. With seconds left in this quarter, the Grizzlies launched their last attack, Mayo made a large buzzer-beating three-pointer, and the Grizzlies led 27-22.

Duncan scored 8 points in 4 of 4 shots in the first quarter, and he missed his first shot with 5 minutes and 30 seconds left in the second quarter. The Grizzlies took the opportunity to attack, Conley made a three-pointer, Randolph scored a 9-0 shot, and the Grizzlies led 40-34. The Spurs failed to make a shot in the past five minutes, and Duncan dunked to open the situation with 1 minute and 59 seconds left in the quarter. At the end of the half, the Spurs fell behind 43-45.

Two minutes later in the third quarter, Jefferson made a three-pointer, Parker then stole, Duncan dunked, the Spurs scored a 10-0 wave, and surpassed 57-51 with 7 minutes and 08 seconds left in the quarter. Under the Spurs' strict defense, the Grizzlies failed to make a shot in the last 5 minutes. The Spurs led by 10 points at most, but the Grizzlies fought back tenaciously and only fell behind 70-74 after the third quarter.

Randolph scored in the last quarter, and the Grizzlies began to exert force. With 7 minutes and 10 seconds left in the game, Randolph scored a jump shot in the penalty area, and the Grizzlies exceeded 83-81. After the Spurs tied the score at 85, Mayo made a three-pointer, and Allen scored twice in a row. With 4 minutes and 03 seconds left in the game, the Grizzlies led 92-85.

The Spurs were in a shooting dilemma and failed to make a goal within 5 minutes and 25 seconds. The Spurs only made a mid-range shot by Hill in the first 3 minutes and 15 seconds before the final game. The previous time they made a shot was when they had 8 minutes and 40 seconds left in this quarter. At the critical moment, they had to rely on substitutes to save the game. After Bonner made two consecutive three-pointers in 41 seconds, the Spurs overtook 96-94 with 1 minute and 28 seconds left in the game. The Grizzlies could have maintained the lead, but missed four consecutive free throws in 40 seconds, giving the Spurs a chance to exceed.

The Grizzlies' substitutes are also good because they have Bathir. Before the final game, Bathir received a pass from Conley and made a hit from the three-point line. The Grizzlies overtook 99-98. Hill wanted to return a three-pointer, but failed to hit. After Allen made two free throws in 10 seconds before the final game, Jefferson missed another three-pointer, and the Spurs failed.

Bathir was the Grizzlies traded from the Rockets in the mid-season. As Yao Ming's old teammate, the two have a close relationship.

So Yao Ming called Bathir as soon as possible to congratulate him on helping the Grizzlies win the first game of the playoffs.

Bathir also congratulated Yao Ming's team on his victory and joked that he hoped the two teams would meet in the finals.

What is surprising is that the defending champion Lakers broke into an upset in their first game of the playoffs and lost to the Hornets 100-109 at home.

Kobe scored 34 points, but it was still not enough to bring victory to the Lakers. Artest scored 16 points and 11 rebounds, Bynum scored 13 points and 9 rebounds, Paul Gasol made only 2 of 9 shots, scoring 8 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.

The Hornets were plagued by injuries, and forward David West was absent, but they still played very tenaciously. Chris Paul contributed 33 points, 14 assists and 7 rebounds, while Carl Landry scored 17 points.

Even if the Lakers are not the defending champions, even if they are not giants, the Hornets are not sure when facing such a team. The two long men, Gasol and Bynum, dominate the inside and have an absolute advantage in height, while the Hornets are at a disadvantage even if West is on the inside. The Hornets lost to the Lakers in four regular season games.

From paper, the Hornets are at an absolute disadvantage in the interior, but on the court, they don't think so. From the first second, the Hornets have always held their heads high. Landry took the lead at the basket, and the Hornets started with a 12-4 wave. Kobe also had one goal, and Fisher made two shots thereafter, including a three-pointer. The Lakers scored a 10-0 wave and overtook 14-12. The Hornets did not score a single point in 3 minutes. Despite this, they still led 26-24 in the first quarter.

Jack and Paul scored one after another after the start of the second quarter, and the Hornets expanded their advantage 33-24. The Lakers made their first shot after nearly 4 minutes in this quarter, and the gap between the two sides once widened to 12 points. With 1 minute and 7 seconds left in the quarter, Ariza made two free throws, and the Hornets led 52-40. Before the end of the first half, Paul made a three-pointer and the Hornets were still leading 11 points, but Artest made a long-range buzzer-beating three-pointer near the midfield, and the Lakers tied the score to 47-55.

Artest's lucky three-pointer sounded the horn of the Lakers' counterattack. After the start of the third quarter, Fisher and Bynum scored one after another, and the Lakers scored 7 points in a row, narrowing the gap to 1 point. After the Hornets opened the gap again 63-55, Kobe began to hit consecutively, and the Lakers scored a 10-2** and tied the score with 3 minutes left in the quarter. The Lakers always had one game difference, failed to overtake this quarter, and entered the last quarter with a 72-73 behind.

After Paul made two consecutive mid-range shots in 4 minutes and 24 seconds before the final game, the Hornets opened the gap again 94-87, forcing the Lakers to a dead end. Three minutes before the final game, the Lakers narrowed the gap to 4 points, Jack made a shot, Kobe made a mistake at the critical moment, and Paul also made a mid-range shot. He and Landry made two free throws each, and the Hornets led 104-92 with 1 minute and 6 seconds left in the game.

The Lakers failed to make a shot in the past 3 minutes. Gasol made a mid-range shot just before the end of the game. Odom also made a three-pointer after that. Unfortunately, it came too late and the Lakers were powerless to turn things around.

The Western Conference Youth Thunder defeated the Nuggets 107-103 at home in the first round of the playoffs. Kevin Durant scored a career-high 41 points in his personal playoff career, Russell Westbrook scored 31 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds, and no other main players scored in double digits.

The Nuggets wasted a double-digit lead in the first quarter. Nene Hilaryo scored 22 points and 8 rebounds, Danilo Gallinari scored 18 points, Tyson and Kenyon Martin each scored 10 points. Raymond Felton, who came on as a substitute, scored 12 points.

The first round of the playoffs has just begun, but there have been many upsets. The Spurs and the Lakers, who ranked first and second in the West, both lost one after another. The trend of this year's playoffs seems to be that teams with laggards are more likely to get a good start. This makes the Celtics, a veteran Eastern Conference team, dare not neglect, but they tried their best and only narrowly defeated the Knicks at home in their first game of the playoffs 87-85.

Two months ago, both teams made a deal, the Knicks changed their blood, got Anthony and Billups, and the Celtics gambled, and exchanged Kendrick Perkins for Nynard Costic and Jeff Green. Both teams wanted to make a difference in the playoffs, and their trade results will be tested in the playoffs.

Ray Allen made a three-pointer in the second shot before the final game, scoring 24 points and 6 rebounds in the whole game. The Celtics started with five Tigers and scored in double digits, Kevin Garnett scored 15 points and 13 rebounds, Paul Pierce scored 18 points, Jermaine O'Neal scored 12 points, Rajon Rondo scored 10 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists.

The Knicks are all based on the frontcourt doubles, Amare Stadmeier scored 28 points and 11 rebounds, Carmelo Anthony scored 15 points, and Chauncey Billups scored 10 points.

Judging from the results of these games, so far, no team has an absolute advantage in this year's playoffs. This has attracted the majority of fans.

The NBA League was also very excited. On the first day of the game, they found that this year's playoffs attracted more attention than in previous years.

On the one hand, the game was very fierce, the scores were very close, and there were many scenes of defeating the strong with weak; on the other hand, several superstars performed epicly, which made the fans excited.

Especially for the Bobcats' match, due to the existence of Jiang Jun, its ratings far exceed those of other matches.

After watching the game, many people questioned the referee's penalty, especially the harshness of Jiang Jun in the first half, which made many fans very angry.

This also made David Stern a little contradictory. On the one hand, he did not want overseas players to dominate the NBA. On the other hand, he found that foreign players in this year's playoffs performed well and attracted a lot of attention.

He held a small meeting with several vice presidents to study this matter. Finally, he unanimously concluded that the referee would be allowed to enforce the law fairly and ensure the fairness of the game. Since foreign players can bring benefits to the league, they should be treated equally.

Even Stern was wondering whether to convince those team bosses to not stop next season.

Who would be unable to get along with the money?

Treating everyone equally and ensuring justice is the simple decision of the league to move this year's competition towards an unexpected trend.

Jiang Jun, a "real superstar", didn't know that he would receive fair treatment. He just felt that the generals would block the water and soil, and he could deal with the moves whenever he wanted.

With the Bobcats having a lot of confidence, on April 19, the Bobcats played against the Pacers at home and started their second game of the playoffs.
