as given the heavy lifting by Rivers in the game.
Under his defense, Wade made only 9 of 27 shots, which was a remarkable effect.
The game between the Bulls and the Raptors followed.
The intensity of this game was comparable to the game between the Pistons and the Magic on the first day.
The two sides fought fiercely from the beginning to the end.
As another one of the “2005 point guards”, Paul performed exceptionally well.
At the beginning, he was also suppressed by Baron Davis on the opposite side.
To a certain extent, Davis’s style of play is similar to Deron’s, both are physically strong tank styles.
But Paul’s style of play is much more mature than that of Deron. He doesn’t just struggle with Davis, but devotes more energy to offense and organization.
After the whole game, his best steal was only one, but he scored 26 points and 12 assists.
And it has to be said that a good center has a very critical impact on the game.
Whether he is facing Bosh or assisting Baron Davis in defense, Chandler shows his true qualities as a powerful center on the defensive end.
And Bosh’s performance under the siege of Chandler and Yi Jianlian was not as good as expected.
These also became the winner of the game, and the Bulls finally had the last laugh 91-81.
In the West, the first game to start is the Nuggets and Jazz game.
As expected before the game, Kirilenko restricted James to a great extent.
But the Jazz can’t limit Iverson’s performance.
When Iverson once again had the opportunity to compete for the championship, Iverson gave people the feeling that he was almost competing with his life!
In the whole game, Iverson scored 31 points and stood at the free throw line 9 times. It made people dream back to 2000, the “AI” who could carry the OK team alone.
Under his leadership, the Nuggets also defeated the Jazz 93-84 and got a good start in the playoffs.
The two teams have played against each other many times in the past, and there is no lack of grudges at all. Moreover, there are also old enemies, Kidd and Nash, which are full of highlights.
At the beginning of the game, the Suns quickly gained the upper hand under the leadership of Nash.
The impact of Josh Howard’s absence on the Mavericks is still great.
Because they lack a strong outside scoring point, the Suns not only have a sharp reduction in outside defensive pressure, they can also double-team Nowitzki unscrupulously.
At halftime, the Suns led the Mavericks by 15 points, 53 to 38.
It wasn’t until the second half that Avery Johnson reacted and replaced Daniels with Harris to start a dual point guard lineup.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Harris began his performance.
His breakthrough was like a scalpel tearing apart the Suns’ already weak defense.
Nowitzki’s precise shooting from the outside prevented the Suns from easily shrinking their defense.
With Kidd’s offensive sorting out, the Mavericks’ offense began to return to normal levels.
After the offensive end opened up, the Mavericks’ defense also began to
