The semi-finals of the playoffs were born! Set an NBA record, with 3 winners and 3 losers, Curry was questioned

With the Nuggets defeated the Thunder with 32 points, they lost the tiebreak and were eliminated 3:4. The competition for the semi-finals of the division has officially ended, and the four teams that advanced are the Timberwolves, Thunder, Pacers and Knicks. To be honest, no one expected such a division final match before the start of the playoffs. Especially the Cavaliers and Celtics were eliminated; at the same time, with the Nuggets being eliminated, the NBA has produced 7 different championships in the past seven years, and no team won two championships in the past seven years has set a record for the league. At the end of the semi-finals, some are happy and some are sad. The NBA semi-finals were born! Set an NBA record, with 3 winners and 3 losers born, Curry was questioned.

Winner one: Thunder. As the No. 1 Thunder in the West, they were dragged into tiebreak by the Nuggets with the advantage of the series with a big score. In the last showdown, the whole team blossomed at multiple points. Under the leadership of Alexander, they defeated the Nuggets 4:3 in a big score, and advanced to the division finals again after nine years. At the same time, Alexander has already gained an advantage in the MVP ownership competition. If nothing unexpected happens, the regular season MVP this season will be given to Alexander. The Thunder also maintains the possibility of their own rushing towards the championship. They are also considered to be the team with the greatest chance of competing for the championship for the remaining four teams, and look forward to their subsequent performance.

Winner 2: Pacers. The Pacers eventually beat the Cavaliers, the number one in the East, and they advanced to the division finals. The most important thing is that the Pacers are definitely the team with the least consumption of core players in the playoff team so far, because the team uses 11-man rotation in many playoff games, and no player plays more than 35 minutes. This undoubtedly has a better physical reserve and a lower risk of injury in their subsequent games.

Winner 3: Knicks. The Knicks finally eliminated the Celtics 4-2 and advanced to the division finals. This is also the Knicks' once again stepped into the Eastern Conference Finals after 25 years. For them, the restructuring of the lineup and waiting over the past years have finally ushered in a season that will achieve results. The team is currently maintaining a further possibility, after all, the team's performance of the starting five tigers is obvious to all. Of course, what they need to pay attention to next is the physical impact and potential health risks caused by too few personnel rotations.

Loser One: Knight. No one expected that the Cavaliers, as the number one team in the Eastern Conference regular season, would perform like this in the second round against the Pacers. They could not match the Pacers' offensive and defensive rhythm in the game. Although they won a game, the final score was 1:4 and more importantly, the team's star Mitchell also suffered an injury. This may again see the lineup adjustment as they are out of the offseason. What they lack at the moment is a player who can really help the team make a final decision at critical moments.

Loser 2: Celtics. The Celtics are definitely the biggest loser in the second round, because the team was eliminated in an upset manner. At the same time, both the stars Tatum and Brown suffered injuries. Tatum has undergone surgery for ligament rupture, while Brown has been exposed to a meniscus tear and is also discussing a treatment plan and may also undergo surgery. Both stars fell down, and the team stopped in the second round; the Celtics will usher in a major adjustment in the offseason, and the team is expected to break up, and many players are likely to leave the team. Players including Porzingis and Holiday may face being traded.

Loser 3: Warriors, they were also eliminated by the Timberwolves with a score of 1-4, and for them, they also lost due to injuries. Curry's absence due to injury directly caused the Warriors' tactical system to collapse. Many games in the series were lost in the final quarter, and it was still a pity for the Warriors to be eliminated. After all, Curry, Butler and Green were one year older in the next season, and the window to win the championship will be further reduced.

It is worth mentioning that in the 7th match between the Nuggets and the Thunder, Gordon still chose to play with injuries despite being confirmed as a second-degree strain, which caused controversy in Curry's absence. Fans questioned that it was also a strain, Gordon had a second-degree strain, and Curry had a first-degree strain on the hamstring; why did Gordon appear but Curry chose to quit? In fact, this is different from the two in the team, and the team is in different situations. After all, the Nuggets dragged the series to tiebreak. Whoever wins in a game can advance, and Gordon also chooses to give it a try.

The Warriors are injured in the first game of the series. The teams lost one after another. Even if Curry forced his comeback, the final trend of the series was uncertain. If the forced comeback brought a second injury, it would be more than worth the loss for the Warriors. I still hope that fans will still look at the issue of injury rationally.
