After five games, four teams have advanced to the district semifinals.

In the east, James really lived up to expectations and swept the Pacers with a total score of 4-0.

Indeed, the Cleveland Cavaliers' regular season record this season is very average. Indeed, LeBron James' influence in the league has gradually become smaller due to the existence of Link and Durant.

But only in the playoffs can you know what the real LeBron James is.

No matter how he plays with the Cavaliers in the regular season, he is definitely one of the most powerful championship contenders.

In the West, the Golden State Warriors are the first team in the league to advance to the second round. They cleanly defeated the Thunder with a 4-0 score, ending Westbrook's triple-double season per game.

The Houston Rockets also successfully advanced to the second round. This dark horse, which was originally not favored but made a big splash this season, maintained their upward momentum in the playoffs.

How far can Harden go? This has become the most talked about topic in this year's playoffs.

The night after the Houston Rockets advanced, a very well-known local nightclub in Houston said that he would retire Harden's jersey tonight because Harden hadn't been here for a whole year!

And they said that the retirement ceremony that night will be very lively and look forward to everyone's visit.

Obviously, this is the marketing method this nightclub came up with to get the popularity of Rockets’ promotion.

The gimmick "Harden's retirement ceremony in a nightclub" is enough to attract a large number of young men and women.

But Harden hasn't been to that nightclub for a whole year, which is an indisputable fact!

Harden, who used to be a reliable star, has never been considered a reliable star.

He often stayed home at night and had not yet woken up. He wore his jersey to play the next day.

The result of this is that Harden's condition has almost never been stable in the past few years.

It is very likely that he showed a super god performance the day before, but he started to make wild irons again the next day.

Coupled with the conflict between Harden, Howard, McHale and others, the Rockets have almost stagnated for so many years.

Harden lives freely and has no way to take his career further.

However, after breaking up with Kardashian, Harden seemed to have become a different person.

He almost no longer goes to nightclubs, nor can he sing and sing every night.

He began to focus on the game and on victory. This once most unreliable star also began to consider his career.

He didn't want to be so mediocre for the rest of his life, he found his original intention of playing basketball!

Seeing the news that Harden had not been to nightclubs for a year, Rockets fans were shocked.

No wonder Harden will change like a transformation this season.

Most Rockets fans even say that the next ruler of the league is Harden!

With the momentum, it is not surprising that Harden has performed better.

But if you want to become the next ruler of the alliance, you will naturally kill the current ruler first!

The Memphis Grizzlies have become the target.

"I said, it was really rare to be quiet before the game. No Houston media or any Rockets player came out to cause trouble for us."

After advancing in the first round, Grizzlies players have also begun to pay attention to the Rockets.

Therefore, during the training interval, most of the topics of chatting between Grizzlies players were related to the Rockets.

"Because they all concentrated their firepower against Bill Simmons, that guy has been scolded so badly recently." Link, who was sitting on the ground and resting, shook his head, thanks to the wave of hatred that Simmons pulled before.

Otherwise, I probably would have to be busy fighting the Houston media now.

"Speaking of it, Link, what's wrong with you with dark circles?" Wade looked at Link, who was sleepy. The dark circles were so exaggerated. Those who didn't know thought they had just had a fight with someone!

"Well, I feel like I'm having some insomnia recently." Link waved his hand, and it was obvious that he was also quite helpless.

"Insomnia? It's just Houston Rockets, right? As Bill Simmons said, we have completely crushed them in the regular season this season."

"No, no, no, not because of the Rockets, but because, well, I have been thinking about how to be a good dad these days. Then, it is easy to get out of sleep in the middle of the night."

"Hahahaha, it turns out that it's because of this!" Wade laughed.

Many men will feel nervous and anxious for a while because they are about to become fathers.

As the due date approaches, tension and anxiety often become heavier.

The safety of the wife, the safety of the children, and the future of this family begin to circulate in the minds of prospective fathers.

Link is no exception.

On the basketball court, Link is the number one who can't do it, and is the nightmare of his opponents.

But in life, he is no different from ordinary people.

"Don't worry, it's useless to worry. When the child is born, you will naturally be ready." The experienced Randolph also began to teach Link's experience.

"You guys have always been used to taking one step at a time. Can I learn it? Forget it, don't worry about me. We must concentrate on preparing for the battle now. Houston is coming in a fierce way!"

Link waved his hand and stopped discussing his own affairs.

Although the Rockets are not strong enough to eliminate the Grizzlies, if they are not careful enough, they will be in a mess.

With the attention of fans, the series between the Grizzlies and Rockets officially started on May 1!

Even if the Rockets and Grizzlies are not required to build momentum, they will definitely be very popular.

After all, during the regular season, the two teams had sparked a lot of sparks.

In four matches, three of them reached the last second, and in two of them Link played shocking super data.

The Grizzlies and the Rockets have created too many classic duels this season, and the grudges that have not been settled in the regular season can be resolved together in the playoffs!

"This is a game that fans have been looking forward to, and we have also brought you the people you have been looking forward to! Welcome Mr. Bill Simmons, who will be a special guest in today's game and complete the commentary work with us!"

Before the game started, on the commentary stage, espn gave the fans the first surprise.

Today, they once again let Bill Simmons serve as a special commentator. Due to his previous events with Link and his recent grudges with the Rockets, Simmons' arrival will undoubtedly make this game more interesting.

"I'm very fortunate to be here in person. Today I came to the Federal Express Arena to see the Grizzlies beat the Rockets! Those proud Houston media will know immediately whether the Rockets have a chance of winning!"

Bill Simmons was as straightforward as ever, and began to complain about the Rockets as soon as he came up. For teams and players he didn't like, you never want to hear a good word about them from Simmons.

"Do you really firmly think that the Grizzlies can win tonight? As we all know, the Rockets can defeat the Clippers with a total score of 4-1. The Rockets have performed very well in the playoffs, and they are definitely not just a regular season team."

Seeing that Bill Simmons was so excited, Kevin Harlan continued to ask.

"First of all, I admit that the Rockets are not just regular season teams. They can play tough battles and have the ability to win some games. But the gap between the Grizzlies and the Rockets is still obvious. I still said that before the division final, the Grizzlies will never encounter real trouble!"

Simmons was full of confidence. After all, he was the person who was slapped in the face the most painful thing by Link. He knew better than anyone else about Link's ability.

However, at this time, Dave Jogel was a little worried when he looked at Link who was warming up on the basketball court.

"What's wrong with Link today." Quinn Snyder, beside Joggle, also found the problem.

"Well, he shot very low from the field when he warmed up today!"

"Is it because of insomnia? Link said that he has not had a good rest these days. That guy's condition has never been so big."

"Maybe it, but I can only trust him. When the superstar doesn't make a shot, he naturally has his way to continue to influence the game. I have confidence in this."

After Jogel finished speaking, the referee signaled both sides to prepare for the game.

Link yawned a big yawn before walking near the middle circle.
Chapter completed!
