Chapter 755 (1/2)
The results of the first day of the playoffs were undoubtedly shocking, with four games, all of which were won by the lower ranked teams.
If we can't explain it by accident, we can't say that all of them are accidental.
The playoffs and the regular season proved to be two completely different battlefields. Teams that rank higher in the regular season simply gain home court advantage in the playoffs. It doesn't mean anything else.
The high ranked teams who think they must be stable have paid for it.
The result of grizzly's first day was even more unexpected.
Are they going to be able to go on killing all sides in the playoffs? It will still be the same as the four teams yesterday. No matter which result, it will attract countless fans to watch!
The Grizzlies are now as attractive as Mayweather, the champion of the game, and his every game is in the spotlight. But that doesn't mean that everyone who watches his game wants him to win.
Watching the Grizzlies lose is also a lot of people's fun.
Bill Simmons stressed the strength of the Mavericks before the start of the game. ”They are definitely not easy to get into. The competition in the west this year is very fierce. Therefore, although the Mavericks rose to eighth place in the Western Conference until the last day of the regular season, they are not the traditional weak team in the playoffs
”The Mavericks have won 50 games this season, which is the fifth and sixth place in the Western Conference. Although Nowitzki and others are old, they still show a good state. What's more, many people may forget that the Mavericks are the only team to beat the Grizzlies twice this season except thunder! In addition to the last field of the regular season, the Mavericks won the Grizzlies once in early February
Simmons once again played against the Grizzlies before the game, but this time, he obviously learned a lot.
He only stated the facts, not too much embellishment, not too much hellink. It seems that after repeated failures this season, Simmons also knows the end of the fight against link.
He doesn't want to be beaten by link over and over again, unless he waits for a turnaround!
The Mavericks have never been so high-profile since they won the championship in 2011. Just because they became the Grizzlies' rivals, they immediately gained unprecedented attention.
Mavericks owner Mark Kuban naturally won't let go of this eye-catching opportunity. Before the game started, Cuban showed great confidence when interviewed by reporters.
”I know the Grizzlies have won an incredible 74 wins this season. They've been doing great all year and doing it perfectly. The only mistake they made was to get the Dallas Mavericks into the playoffs. Soon, they will find out how wrong they are. ”
Kuban has always been a big mouth, often spray referees, that is famous. But in addition to the referee, Kuban has never been merciful to his opponents.
In an interview last month, he also publicly said, ”I hope the Lakers will continue to suck like this.”
Kuban is good to his players and staff, but he is not so kind to his opponents.
At seven o'clock on the 20th, an hour before the game. Both players showed up at the FedEx stadium to warm up for the first step of their playoff journey.
People thought the Grizzlies would be very relaxed today, but during the warm-up, the Grizzlies were meticulous. The warm-up was quite systematic and serious.
Fans are a little surprised, grizzlies but won 74 teams, they are the NBA history of the best regular season team, not one of them!
But their attitude is as if Grizzlies are the eighth in the West.
”It seems that mark Kuban is right. The Grizzlies are really nervous. Yesterday, four higher ranked teams were defeated in the game. Today, Grizzlies are obviously on the alert. ”
On the stage, t.n.t's three living treasures are ready. Grizzlies as the most popular team, t.n.t naturally sent their most popular interpretation team to explain the grizzly game.
On the court, there are also reporters to find link, ask link and Kuban related questions.
However, link, who has always been coquettish, refused the interview this time. He shook his head at the reporter and immediately returned to the warm-up.
People expected link and Kuban to have a beautiful war of words, but this expectation has been completely defeated.
The whole grizzly bear is very tight.
It's like it's back in 2011, back to the Western Conference finals. Grizzlies, as challengers, are carefully preparing for the war.
But this is the first round of the playoffs, not the Western Conference finals.
Even Kuban was surprised. He had prepared several speeches to spray link back and forth, but he didn't expect that Grizzlies were really cautious.
Are they really afraid?
The Grizzlies' performance before the game makes people daydream. Every team has its nemesis. Maybe the killer of the 74 win over Grizzlies is the Dallas Mavericks?Finally, at 8 p.m., the referee ended the fans' painful waiting.
