This year's regular season champion is in the East, with the Western Conference regular-season leader starting the playoffs first. They rest for two days after the regular season ends, with play beginning on April 22.
The Bobcats, the second in the East, start the playoffs at the same time as the first in the West.
However, the Bobcats finished their regular season on the 18th, giving them 3 days of rest, one more than the Lakers, although their finale was an away game, so it's not much of a difference.
The Bulls have it the most comfortable, starting their playoffs on the 23rd, with a total of 4 days' rest, and their finale was played at home.
On the 19th, Zhang Yang took a day off, watched games and scrolled through the news after returning to Charlotte. On the 20th, he got busy again. In the morning, there was a fan appreciation session for the team, and in the afternoon, there was a sneaker promotion event.
