In the Lakers vs. Jazz game, the Lakers won the first victory of the series with a 129:113 record, a 16-point difference.

In this game, Ye Zheng made 14 of 23 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of 5 free throws, scoring 36 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists, 8 steals, and 5 blocks, almost completing a four-double record.

When this data was known by many players in the league, it inevitably caused a sensation.

"Ye Zheng entered the playoffs for the first time and got a triple-double in the first game, only one step away from a four-double. Is this guy still a rookie?" Irving immediately posted this suspicion on Twitter.

JR Smith directly laughed: "In the East and West Finals on this side, it seems that the opponent may be the Lakers, which really makes me look forward to it."

Under JR Smith's Twitter, many fans participated in the comments.

"I don't know if I can still enter the Eastern Conference championship after leaving Irving. JR you are really ridiculous."

"Stop daydreaming, the nerve-wracking guard, you may be just a round of tour."

"This season, you're playing like shit, and you're so embarrassed to say you're going to the Finals with the Lakers."

"Now the nerve knife is getting nervous again."

At the same time, the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs has also ended.

The Cavaliers, who thought they would continue to create brilliant things, lost to the Heat in the first game of the series.

In this game, James scored 38 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, but in the end the team missed the first victory of the series by 3 points.

On the other hand, although Wade only scored 27 points, his teammates performed well overall, and each point blossomed, winning the Cavaliers with a score of 109:106.

Since Irving left the Cavaliers, a large number of fans have not been optimistic about the Cavaliers. Although the Cavaliers are now led by James, they have lost the strong scoring point of Irving, and the Cavaliers' overall offensive efficiency has dropped significantly. When James was restricted, it is difficult for the rest of the Cavaliers players to open up the situation, and only Love broke out occasionally, which can save some disadvantages.

But Love's weakness is also very obvious, that is, his pace is slow when defending. This point has also become the biggest weakness in the eyes of his opponent.

After the plus or negative difference was added, Love's contribution value on the court only scored 11 points, making it the third lowest player in this game.

So, after this game, some fans who were optimistic about the Cavaliers were a little shaken. On the contrary, the Warriors, the second-ranked West, played against the Trail Blazers. Although Green, the team's defensive player, was injured and did not appear, the Warriors still scored in double digits in this game, with Curry scoring 22 points, Thompson scoring 20 points, and Durant scored 32 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and triple-double.

The Warriors easily won the first game of the series. Seeing the Warriors' performance in the playoffs, many fans remembered the saying again, that is, the Warriors deliberately set up a maze in the regular season. The Warriors' combat effectiveness in the preseason is relatively weak, but once the playoffs arrive, the Warriors will burst out with real strength.

On the first day of the playoffs, eight teams from the east and west held the game at the same time. Except for the top Cavaliers who lost the first game, the other three teams won.

The Lakers beat the Jazz by 129:113 respectively.

The Warriors defeated the Trail Blazers by 20 points.

Eastern Conference!

The Celtics defeated the Philadelphia 76ers by 11 points.

The Cavaliers lost to the Heat by 3 points.

After the first game of the first round of the playoffs, one big thing happened in the NBA league, that is, the list of the top five MVP players in the regular season this season was announced.

Ye Zheng averaged 39.8 points, 11 assists and 12 rebounds per game.

Westbrook averaged 31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds and 10.4 assists per game.

James Harden, averaging 29 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists per game.

LeBron James, averaging 28 points, 9 rebounds and 12 assists per game.

Stephen Curry, averaging 25 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists per game.

From this data, it can be seen that Ye Zheng has always been the most popular in the regular season this season. Unexpectedly, the Cavaliers led by LeBron bottomed out and rebounded and achieved an excellent league record in February and March. The data comparison between LeBron and Harden was not at a disadvantage.

Originally, Ye Zheng had basically stabilized to obtain MVP, but the alliance suddenly made trouble.

A few days ago, the NBA officially announced that fans can participate in the voting for the five major heavyweight awards of this season. These include the Most Valuable Player (MVP), the Best Rookie, the Best Sixth Man, the Best Defensive Player and the Fastest Progressive Player.

The league's sudden announcement that fans can participate in the MVP voting made the league's players extremely surprised because everyone knows that LeBron's popularity in the NBA is definitely a top presence.

As for the rookie Ye Zheng's foundation is too weak, it is almost difficult to compete with LeBron. So the players in the league all suspect that there may be a py transaction. Could it be that MVP will be decided?

Originally, after allowing fans to vote, LeBron's approval rating did quickly increase to second place, but after the first game of the playoffs, his voting slowed down significantly.

Ye Zheng's turnout rate has increased rapidly. Ye Zheng, who ranked first, began to lead Westbrook, who ranked second, in terms of votes, not to mention LeBron James, who has now dropped to fourth place.

Now it seems that the NBA may have some ideas, but what they did not expect was that the popularity of rookie Ye Zheng has not dropped but increased, setting a new record high.

This should be the ability that Ye Zheng showed in the first game of the playoffs, which is very consistent with the requirements of the regular season MVP selection.

1. Lead the team to achieve good results.

2. The core role of the team must be effective immediately.

3. Can make teammates better.

Although the regular season MVP mainly depends on the players' performance in the regular season, the first two rounds of the playoffs will also become the reference standard. Otherwise, the trophy will not be awarded in the playoffs, and the MVP will be awarded directly at the end of the regular season.

When NBA president Xiao Hua listened to his assistant reporting on the top five MVPs in the regular season, he asked in shock: "Water? Ye Zheng is still the first place. Are you sure there is no statistical error?"

"Yes."
