In the first round of the four groups in the east and west, some were exciting, some were lacking in suspense, and some were also thought to have ended in four games, but unexpectedly, the unpopularity of the top-class horse being overturned by the bottom-class horse in the first game.

The upset happened in the West, with the number one Mavericks defeating the first game of the first round of the playoffs.

Under the leadership of Don Nelson, the three Warriors' musketeers burst out with amazing combat power and fighting spirit.

Byron Davis's performance completely failed to disappoint UCLA's background, completely defeated the Mavericks' back line, and efficiently scored 33 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists with a shooting percentage of 57%.

The offensive end has fierce firepower and rebounds pay tribute to Jason Kidd, which also makes it clear what the correct activation method of the U-series guard is.

Mavericks fans have plenty of reasons to feel uncomfortable.

They were not just disappointed in losing, but the team leader Dirk Nowitzki played a mess and actually scored 12 points and 12 rebounds with a sluggish performance of 4 of 16.

If you cover up your name, Mavericks fans will probably be cursing: "How dare Eric Danpier, a waste, take action 16 times? Who gave you a face?"

Oh, it's Nowitzki, that's all right.

Except for the Mavericks, other matches are generally reassuring, and nothing unexpected happens.

Two days later, the Lakers and the Jazz will meet again at Staples Center.

The Jazz showed their determination to make the Lakers give up their fantasies. From the beginning, they were determined to make the game a physical confrontation, muscle collision, and to score, they had to be prepared for the iron-blooded battle to be knocked down.

The league has been seeking change. The hard-working style of playing in the 1990s is no longer suitable for today's rules, but it takes time to make referees and players completely adapt to the new rules.

Before that moment of changing everything came, the players would still lead the style to the old-fashioned path as they played, especially the two teams that were old coaches who had been with the league since the late 1980s, and their coaching style was classic hard-core.

Andre Kirilenko has recovered her health, and his defense has caused more trouble to the Lakers than I imagined.

Meanwhile, Deron Williams is determined to prove in this round of the series that the 2005 rookies are not only Wish and St. Paul, but experts can ignore Bogut's hammer, but not him.

What does Delong intend to make shoes on the offensive end?

His problem is not the offense, but the Lakers don't play according to common sense.

From the first game, Phil Jackson was worried that his own son would be ravaged by Deron, so he let Wei Xia, who had played for a season of swingers, play No. 1.

But he can't even remember the tactics of the number one position, how can he fight?

To resolutely implement Wei Xia's arrangement of playing No. 1 position, the price the Lakers have to pay is to give up most of the regular season tactics. Doesn't it sound so terrible? But do some people think that Smash Parker can activate all the Lakers' tactics? No, even if he comes, it's just a little better than Wei Xia in normal conditions. Since that's the case, the Lakers can't live in his form, giving him the starting lineup a risk of being passed by Delong. Therefore, it's better to put him off the court and let Wei Xia go to No. 1 position. The shortcomings of the tactics are left to Odom and Luke Walton who has been promoted to the sixth man to solve.

Wei Xia plays as the number one position and is a good card to deal with Delong.

Delong's biggest advantage is that his body that crushes all traditional small defenders and has an almost unsolvable offensive rhythm of the same height.

His two advantages just match Wei Xia's strengths.

Wei Xia was guarding him without considering pressure at all. Delong's ability to confront him was not inferior to him. The best way to deal with him was to cover his sight and let him retreat.

With Wei Xia's full defense, Delong only shot one goal in a single quarter.

His pass activates Boozer, who uses a powerful attack and dominates the space outside the paint area with 15 points in a single quarter.

In addition, Wei Xia and Kobe both lost their shooting touch, and Kirilenko's existence brought big trouble to their breakthrough.

In the first quarter, the Lakers were 8 points behind the Jazz.

In the second quarter, the Lakers changed their formation, Turiaf played the No. 4 against Boozer, and Bynum went to No. 5 to protect the basket.

Turiav got the nickname of the Butcher because of his wild appearance and violent attack on the basket. Facing Boozer, who is also of medium size, his defensive effect is the best.

Wei Xia and Kobe's offensive efficiency is still not high, but the Jazz's offense launched by the inside is limited, and Deron's performance is mediocre.

The Lakers recovered 7 points.

At the end of the half, the two sides were only 1 point apart.

"If the ball cannot be thrown into it, our players should attack the basket like an arrow from the string." Jackson told the media.

He was playing a conspiracy and clearly told the Jazz to attack the basket.

The Jazz have no countermeasures because they play at the Lakers' home court, their style of play, rhythm, and no oil.

Jackson will never let go of his mouth, and the Lakers' total free throws in the first half were only 6.

In the second half, Wei Xia gave all his teammates a sample.

They found that in the eyes of the referee, as long as the defender breaks through to the penalty area and makes physical contact, he will immediately whistle.

This discovery made the Lakers ecstatic, as if they had held the key to open the door to victory.

In this quarter, the Lakers bravely made 16 free throws and hit 14 of them.

Kirilenko, who helped the Jazz a lot on the defensive end, encountered a crisis.

The Jazz lights up again.

Kirilenko's influence no longer exists, but the Lakers' feel still no signs of recovery. What should I do? Of course, I continue to go to the basket that hits the free throw when I touch it.

The fourth quarter is even more exaggerated than the third quarter, and their team made 18 free throws.

They cleverly settled the victory through the strength of the back line and home court advantage and successfully won the second game.

Just look at the data of both sides, the efficiency of the Jazz should not lose.

The Jazz's shooting percentage reached 45.2, grabbed 43 rebounds and assists 26 times.

The Lakers' team's shooting percentage is 35.2%, with 50 rebounds, which is slightly better than the Jazz, but only has a pitiful 12 assists.

A team that scored 98 points had only 12 assists, which shows that their scores came more from their personal abilities.

What makes them lock in the victory is the free throw comparison.

The Lakers team scored 38 free throws;

The Jazz team only had 17 free throws.

The Lakers' final winning point was 7 points.

After the game, Jerry Sloan angrily accused the referee of favoring the Lakers, claiming that the Staples Center is the darkest away game in the league and that they will take the necessary measures.

What they call necessary means is to edit the double standard part of the referee in the game into a video and send it to the league and the referee guild to complain to the referee on duty.

By the way, the video they sent out was 4 minutes long, so it was still convincing.

The Jazz, who failed to win from Los Angeles, need to go back and save their two home courts.

On the other side, the Mavericks fans breathed a sigh of relief.

The Warriors' performance in the second game seems to prove that the first game is just a joke, don't take it seriously.

They were skinned by calf cramps, but the apparent victory still hid some phenomena that made them interesting.

The Mavericks who won the game did not rely on Nowitzki's outbreak, and the Germans still played poorly.

The Warriors lost, the top two scorers on the team were Stephen Jackson, who had no presence in the first game and sophomore star Monta Ellis.

The giant assassins, who performed amazingly in the first game, tightened their edge.

Will the Mavericks be happy about this?

Not at all, because once more people can score, the Mavericks' defense will probably not be able to take care of. This kind of team that is full of offensive players is the most scary, because as long as they enter the state, no matter whether you are the first in the league or the last in the league, you will be able to kill them.

The Lakers not only care about the Jazz's dynamics, but also pay attention to the confrontation between the Mavericks and the Warriors.

If they pass the Jazz, the opponent in the second round will be one of the Mavericks and the Warriors.

They all hope that the calf will fight the great devil in public and private power.

It is best to make Nowitzki's hidden moves and flaws a little, and don't expect them to win. If the Lakers are lucky enough to succeed, they will also give the Warriors a lot. They are all California teams, who will follow whoever.

Before arriving in Salt Lake City, the Lakers were ready to face difficulties.

But the preparations they made were still insufficient, and what awaited them here was an extremely tough team.

In the third game, the Lakers encountered difficulties from the beginning, and the Jazz, who returned to their home court, showed off offensive and defensive strength beyond their imagination.

The Lakers can still get many free throws, but the difficulty is simply doubled compared to home court.

The Lakers will blow physical contact at home, but will not blow away.

The free throws that are easily obtained by Staples Center require a hard-working attitude and idea to obtain.

Both Wei Xia and Kobe's shooting percentages were suppressed to below 40%.

Kobe, who scored 40 points in a regular season game, scored less than 30 points in two consecutive games.

The Lakers had 10 more free throws than the Jazz, but lost 19 points in the end.

"Are the Lakers a strong enemy? Yes." The Jazz, who won the game back, was interviewed with an arrogant arrogance, "but obviously it is not super powerful yet."

"Do you understand? They are not super-level."

The Jazz think the Lakers are on the same level as them, and they have a better advantage.

This is their freedom, and it is precisely because of their speech that in the fourth game, both sides have made a fuss.

Kobe carried the high pressure and scored 32 points with a 52% shooting percentage, but the Lakers still couldn't win because Wei Xia's offense was locked again.

The Jazz are different from last year's Suns, and their defensive priorities are much greater than those of offense.

They also knew very well that the key to defeating the Lakers is the two superstars and superstars in the backcourt who were expected by Los Angeles to have the future.

Wei Xia's offensive downturn failed to provide effective help to Kobe.

97 to 90

The Jazz won two consecutive games, and the score was tied 2-2. In the next battle of Tianwang Mountain, they will return to the Lakers' home court Staples Center.

The mood of getting out of the energy solution center when losing is completely different.

Wei Xia felt that he was breathless. His offense averaged 20 points with a shooting percentage of 47% in the regular season. In a truly high-intensity playoff, he could not perform at all.

He couldn't help but doubt himself.

"Have my offense improved over the past year?"
