1161: Failure to fulfill an agreement

The Houston media and fans are still clamoring for the Rockets to be able to regroup. Simmons also threw himself into the scolding war as always, and fought them in the dark.

Although the first battle between the Grizzlies and the Rockets is over, the scolding war between fans and media on both sides has intensified.

But no matter how noisy they are, the second game between the Grizzlies and the Rockets won't start so soon.

The night after the Grizzlies and Rockets battle, it belonged to the Spurs and the Warriors!

Speaking of which, the battle on the western side has been in a white-hot phase since the second round.

The two sworn enemies of the Grizzlies and the Rockets have been so fiercely fought, and the confrontation between the two 60-win teams of the Warriors and the Spurs is even more of a fairy fight!

Never before in NBA history have two 60-winning teams met in the division semifinals!

Therefore, the series between the Warriors and the Spurs is also considered a Finals-level confrontation!

Link is really hoping that the joke will do the right thing, which is to cancel the East and West parts of the playoffs.

In the past, the NBA had a rule for East and West Divisions, mainly because it was too hard for players to travel back and forth between East and West in the playoffs.

Therefore, the league will let the teams of the East and the West play first, and then decide the two teams to play in the finals.

But now, the long journey is not a problem for the players at all. Charter flights are already standard for every team, and those like Cuban even bought a special plane directly for the team.

In this way, even if you cross the east and west sides in the playoffs, there is no big problem.

Determining playoff matchups directly by record rankings is significantly fairer and will make the playoffs look better.

Otherwise, it would be a pity that a good team like the Warriors and Spurs, who played 60 wins in the regular season, would have to eliminate one in the second round.

If the Spurs play the Cavaliers first, or the Warriors play the Celtics first, it will undoubtedly be more exciting, and it can also maximize the retention of the strong team to the end.

Of course, Link can't control the situation. Although there is a lot of call for the cancellation of the eastern and western districts, the idea has never been put into practice.

In this case, we can only watch the Warriors and Spurs, two 60-win teams, start a brutal battle in the Western Conference semifinals in advance.

Link is also very concerned about this match, and in addition to seeing how the opponents are playing, the main reason is Leonard.

The kid was unexpectedly enthusiastic during this time, which made Link quite fond of him.

Moreover, if Leonard can make Durant and the others deflated, Link will be very happy.

Link doesn't seek to kill the Warriors himself, and he's had a lot of fun slaughtering the Warriors during the regular season this year.

As long as the Warriors can lose, whoever knocks them out of Link will be happy.

Think about it, isn't it even more annoying that Durant and Green have been clamoring to defend their titles all day long, but they can't even get past the second round?

How do you say that? The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

The game that can make Link pay so much attention will naturally not be easy.

It was a very intense game, and on the Spurs' side, Aldridge and Leonard showed their unusual composure and leadership temperament. These two leaders seem to really make the Spurs strong for another decade.

The Warriors' Curry and Durant, on the other hand, continue to attack with their superior offensive firepower.

Link, as an outsider, is fascinated by it. It's been a long time since he's been a professional footballer to watch a game that he feels like is exciting.

The game between the two sides was very anxious, and there was no winner until the fourth quarter.

In the seventh minute of the fourth quarter, Leonard borrowed Aldridge's cover to break through to the bottom left corner and prepare to shoot.

Seeing this scene, Link's heart suddenly tightened. He finally remembered that he had forgotten to tell Leonard what he had said yesterday.

He forgot to remind the guy, be careful of Pachuria!

Link thought that his presence might change history, but this part did not.

When Pachulia blocked Leonard's shot, he intentionally or unintentionally put his foot at Leonard's feet.

When Leonard landed on the ground, he twisted violently because he stepped on Pachuria's foot!

The strong Leonard fell to the ground in pain in an instant and did not get up immediately.

At that moment, Link knew that his engagement with Leonard could not be completed.

"Fuck, bastard!" Although it was not the first time he had experienced it, Link was still very angry.

Of course, the details and course of this game are completely different from the original history.

Link remembers that in the original history, Leonard's footing occurred around the eighth minute of the third quarter. Today, however, it has become the fourth verse.

The process changed, but it didn't change the outcome.

After all, Link couldn't change Pachuria's personal behavior.

Even if he reminded Leonard, it didn't necessarily work.

Because it was Pachulia who made the decision.

Soon, Leonard left the court, and he didn't even execute the free throws like he did in the original history.

The on-site commentary was very surprised, everyone didn't expect Leonard to be so seriously injured, and the big screen at the scene also released the picture of Pachuria's stepping moment.

At this point, a generation of villains was officially born.

At that time, many people were familiar with Pachulia because of this incident. But now Link knew that before that, Pachulia was actually very bad.

Watching Leonard leave the arena on his back, Link clenched his fists.

The time between him and Leonard was not so much a mutual agreement as a mutual encouragement in the name of the agreement.

Seeing a partner around him who was encouraging each other fall like this, and his dreams were shattered, Link was really angry.

It's an indisputable fact that injuries are the enemy of all athletes. And the players who artificially create injuries are all demons without exception.

No matter how many times you give the demon a chance to do it all over again, he is still a demon.

Soon, Link's phone vibrates.

Sure enough, it was a text message from Leonard.

"I'm sorry, I probably won't be able to make it to the Western Conference Finals. Now do your best, Link. ”

Link looked at the text messages and turned off the TV.

There is no need to keep watching, the whole series is over.

While it may be unfair to Aldridge and the rest of the Spurs to say that, the truth is that without Leonard, the Spurs simply don't have the ability to compete with the Warriors.

An hour later, the discussion about Pachulia instantly went viral on the Internet.

Speaking at his post-match press conference, Popovich bluntly stated: "Manslaughter is also a crime. ”

At this time, Popovich probably felt deeply that Bruce under him back then. How much damage Bowen has done to others.

Ironically, Bruce. Bowen's jersey is still hanging from the dome of the ATT Center.

Now by the Warriors' "Bruce. Bowen "taught a lesson, and the old man Vicky is probably also in a complicated mood."

Link didn't get too involved in it, after all, he had already had a war of words with Pachulia during the regular season.

Now, Link only wants to do one thing - eliminate the Warriors as soon as possible, and be ashamed!

It's not that Link wants to avenge Leonard, their personal relationship has just been established, and it is not yet enough to avenge each other.

It's just that after this incident, Link's hostility towards the Warriors has indeed deepened.

In addition to last season's feuds, Durant and Green, Link now has one more reason to crush the Warriors.

And if you want to eliminate the Warriors, you must first pass the Rockets.

It seems that now there really can't be much time left for the rocket.

Next, it's time to do it quickly!
