One Thousand One Hundred and Fifty: The Most Intense Round 1 in History

On April 15th, the playoffs will begin. However, since the Grizzlies are first in the Western Conference, they will not have a game until April 16.

Therefore, on April 14, the day before the playoffs started, Link invited his teammates to gather at his home.

This is not the first time that everyone has come to Link's house this season, but every time they come, everyone will have a great time.

People playing cards, fishing, playing games, chatting... You will never feel bored here at Link.

Although Link's villa is not as grand as Kobe's, it is still fully equipped.

Every time Link looks at the lively scene in front of him, he feels very happy.

Victories often come, but this family-like team atmosphere is not something you can experience everywhere.

Although the Grizzlies have changed several groups of people over the years, the core ones have never changed. Therefore, any player who comes to the Grizzlies can quickly integrate.

Speaking of which, at this time last year, Link also called everyone to his home for a get-together to let everyone relax before the playoffs.

Everything seems to be the same now as last year, but in fact, it is very different.

Marc Gasol has stayed healthy this season and performed very well in the regular season. The most important thing is that the three-pointer has become his regular weapon.

With him helping us in the playoffs this year, the game will definitely be a lot easier.

That guy Jokic is still the same as last year, looking for Coke to drink all over the house. But this year, he has become much more mature than last season.

Since becoming the starter this season, Jokic's condition has been on the rise. He has been ranked among the top ten young centers in the league by ESPN.

Link believes that this guy's performance in the playoffs will be several times better than last year.

By the way, Jokic was still chatting with Link a few days ago about the failed goal in the Olympics over Green. That guy's heart is still full of unwillingness.

And this unwillingness will sooner or later burst out into strength.

If the Grizzlies' opponent in this year's Western Conference finals is still the Warriors, Jokic will definitely hit them hard!

Tobias Harris has been finalized;

He has now grown into a very reliable firepower. Harrell's progress is visible to the naked eye, and he will definitely provide greater help this season.

Iguodala's sword is still young, and he is about to break away from the "pretending to be dead" state in the playoffs.

Vince Carter still has the qualities of a killer. Who knows if this guy will hit the key ball in the corner again.

Conley has no season reimbursement this season. With him controlling the rhythm, Link is very relieved.

Dinwiddie has shown that he has the potential to become an All-Star player this season, and he will definitely be able to give Link a lot of help.

Richardson is in solid form and rarely makes mistakes. Wade has completely come out of the pain period at this time, and players like him tend to perform better in the playoffs than in the regular season.

You never know when he's going to step up and take over the game.

Link looked at his teammates at home and couldn't help but smile.

Nothing seems to have changed, but everything has changed dramatically!

This year's Grizzlies are no longer at a disadvantage.

Still want to confine us to the west? There is no way!

"Hey, Link, come over for dinner!"

At this time, Link heard Rachel yelling. Then, everyone in the room turned their attention to him who was standing in the yard in a daze, waiting for him to take a seat.

Link shook his head. This scene really looked like a big family...

"Come on, come on, let me tell you first, I won't drink alcohol tonight. Well, of course I won't drink Coke either!"

Link smiled again and walked towards everyone.

With these people fighting alongside him, he is full of confidence!

Lillard feels that he should not be a professional player, but a professional lottery player.

Lillard also admires his luck after winning the "jackpot" for two consecutive seasons.

Last season, the Trail Blazers were sixth in the Western Conference. Even if he was killed, the Grizzlies would not fall to third in the Western Conference.

In this way, he had to meet Link in the first round of the playoffs.

This season, the Trail Blazers are eighth in the Western Conference. Then, as if they did it on purpose, the Grizzlies actually soared to first place in the Western Conference with a record of 75 wins!

For the second consecutive year, the Trail Blazers had to face the Grizzlies in the first round.

Lillard was speechless. If this luck could be used to buy lottery tickets, he might be able to concentrate on rapping.

Even Lillard must admit that the Grizzlies are a formidable opponent.

A team that can win 75 games in the regular season does not win so many games by luck.

But Lillard is also a player with a strong will. Although the Trail Blazers have a small chance of winning, Lillard has no intention of giving up directly!

Lillard is definitely a player who dares to challenge the powerful. He is fearless when facing any strong opponent.

Last season, he won two games with the Grizzlies. This season, Lillard is equally confident.

Even if he is eliminated, he cannot be eliminated like a lost dog!

Lillard also has the same idea as his backcourt partner C.J. McCollum.

McCollum did not directly raise the white flag to surrender just because his opponent was the Grizzlies.

Before the playoffs started, he stayed after regular training to practice shooting.

This guy who was less than 1.6 meters tall in high school and couldn't attract the attention of any NCAA scouts knew it very well. If you accept your fate happily, you will only be played by it.

You must have the determination to resist in order to create miracles.

Perhaps this is why Lillard and McCollum get along so well.

On April 15, the first match day of the playoffs officially started.

On the first day of the playoffs, there were many surprises.

Over in the East, Paul George caused a lot of trouble for James again. George was like a magic weapon descended from heaven today, shooting 6 of 8 from beyond the three-point line!

With George's outstanding performance, the Pacers fought the Cavaliers until the end.

In the last 11 seconds, the Pacers were only 1 point behind. If it weren't for Irving's big-hearted steal of Stephenson at the critical moment, which caused the Pacers' final attack to fail, the winner of this game might not have been the Cavaliers.

109 to 108, the Cavaliers narrowly defeated the Pacers by one point at home.

It seems that it may take some time for James to recover from his recuperation state.

In another game, the Bucks, who were even lower ranked, beat the Raptors, one of the top three in the Eastern Conference, to death.

Antetokounmpo made 13 of 18 shots in the game, with a shooting percentage of 72.2%!

The Raptors had absolutely no players who could match up with Antetokounmpo, and they were left unable to fight back.

The Bucks made the first foul in this year's playoffs. Facts have proved that the playoffs never follow the rules. This is also the charm of the playoffs.

The two games in the Western Conference were equally anxious.

The Thunder were only 4 points away from overthrowing the defending champion Warriors, and the Rockets relied on Gordon's last-minute buzzer beater to win.

Sure enough, this year's playoffs lived up to the fans' expectations. The first day of competition was so intense!

After watching the first day of the series, Lillard and McCollum also became more confident.

This is the playoffs, where anything can happen.

Link said he doesn’t want to play another six games with the Trail Blazers this year?

That's not what he alone has the final say!
