Chapter 1156 (1/2)
On the first game day of the 16-17 season playoffs, four games were very anxious.
The players certainly don't want to play so hard in the first round, but for the fans, it's a huge benefit.
When the regular season is over, who wants to watch the little game?
Anxious and full of suspense game, is definitely the fans most hope to see.
With four wonderful games on the first day, people are more interested in the Grizzlies vs. blazers.
Last season, the Blazers and Grizzlies played very hard. The Blazers are only eighth in the west this season, but that's because they suffered injuries in the middle and late part of the season.
In terms of hard power, the strength of the pioneers is definitely more than the eighth level in the West.
Link once said that the pioneers were one of the strongest Western eighties in history, but he wasn't saying nice things.
On the morning before the match, many fans and experts predicted the result of the match.
Most of them think that the final score difference of the game will be within 10 points.
In other words, they all think it will be a hot game!
Before the start of the game in the evening, link was interviewed by reporters who asked him questions related to the statistics.
However, link is not very interested in this: ”I don't like to predict the results before the game, and I can't say exactly what the difference is. So, forget about it and watch the game
Link waved his hand as if there was no answer.
On the other hand, Lillard agrees with this prediction.
”There is no doubt that it will be a real battle. We'll try our best, and the eighth in the West doesn't have to come with us. ”
Both sides hold their own opinions, but the attitude towards the game is the same - we must do our best!
The referee motioned for both starters to enter. Link took off his training clothes and hopped twice.
He looked around and the FedEx stadium had been turned dark blue by uniformed fans.
Such a scene, long time no see!
On the Trail Blazers side, the first five tigers are Lillard, McCollam, Evan Turner, Morris hacris and Mayes Leonard.
This set of lineup is very in line with the current trend of the era of small ball, No. 4 position of hajis can suddenly shoot, is a No. 34 swing man.
Meyers Leonard in position five is tall and has an excellent three points.
This season, he averaged nearly three-point shots in the field, shooting rate can reach 37.7%, which is a reliable space type five position.
Mccullam and Lillard are full of opportunities as soon as the two pull apart.
Of course, this set of lineups to open space ability has not yet reached the warriors' level, because starting small forward Evan Turner's three-point is really a little bit of a look.
Turner's three-point shooting rate is only 26.3% this season. As a player who plays in the No.3 position, it is not qualified.
But it doesn't hurt to be able to shoot three points in just one position.
And grizzly bear side, will not be polite to take up the twin tower lineup.
Grizzlies have nothing to hide. They don't have to save for the rest of the game.
No matter who Gasol or Jokic goes against hajic, it's his nightmare!
Stotts naturally knows this shortcoming, in fact, he did not want to rely on defense to contain the Grizzlies.
Whether the Blazers can win tonight depends on whether Portland's two guns in the backcourt can fire all the bullets.
The referee tossed the ball and the Grizzlies officially started their 16-17 playoff season!
Mayes Leonard won the ball for the Blazers, and Lillard quickly pushed forward after receiving the basketball.
However, Conley was prepared, he intercepted Lillard near the three-point line, forcibly ended the possibility of Lillard completing the sneak attack.
But Lillard did not stop the ball, but immediately gave the ball to mccullam!
Mccullam pauses after receiving the ball, as if to shoot.
But in fact, his goal is to achieve a breakthrough!
