On April 22, the Clippers will also wait for the Thunder to come to the door for the second time at home, of course, they can't get too carried away, after all, they have lost to the Thunder once in the regular season, so they still have to be careful of capsizing in the gutter.

The Rockets lost to the Trail Blazers yesterday, and Dunleavy Sr. is still very happy, although domestic fans want the Rockets to advance, let Yao Ming pass the first round, and preferably reach the Finals. But the Clippers' opponent in the semifinals is one of the two teams of the Trail Blazers and the Rockets, and the Clippers certainly hope to meet the Trail Blazers who have been killed by them four times compared to the difficult Rockets. The latter has been knocked out of their spirits, and against the Trail Blazers, the Clippers are equivalent to receiving a ticket directly to the Western Conference Finals. But against the rocket, it is much more troublesome, and the rocket is not easy to deal with, anyway, it is more difficult to deal with than the Trailblazer.

In the first game of the first round of the playoffs, Durant had a very poor hand under the rotation defense of Garcia and Barnes, and the Thunder obviously changed at the beginning of this game, and in the first quarter they used Artest's strong attack to score points, and at the same time hoped that the beast would cause damage to the Clippers' guard line, which was called Wei Wei to save Zhao.

The Clippers started today, and before the halfway point of the first quarter, the fox brother's personal score reached 6 points, and he also assisted the panda brother to complete a wonderful air relay. Subsequently, Durant and Ji Guoyi launched an offensive exchange to score each other, but the Clippers' strong interior and point guard gave the Little Fox more support, and the Clippers quickly extended their lead to 5 points.

In the first quarter, Durant scored an astonishing 14 points, surpassing Ji Guoyi's 12 points in his personal score. But the Thunder fell into an embarrassing situation, that is, they rarely staged a collective outburst with the whole team, and it was difficult to play a wave of team-wide offensive climax. Thunder if any player scores in a row. The remaining four players will automatically enter the play mode. There is this phenomenon. In the final analysis, the technical and tactical ability is still inferior. Everyone doesn't know how to run to create a zào gap, and the team's main point guard lacks organizational ability, sometimes even if his teammates run out of opportunities, Wei Shao only has the basket in his eyes. So at the end of the first quarter, the Clippers extended their lead to 26-20, and the Thunder basically didn't score except Durant.

In the second quarter, Ji Guoyi was not in a hurry to attack, and only shot once in this section. The Clippers began to play collectively, with the Panda brother organizing in the center, and teammates running around their lighthouse, and the Clippers played a pleasing offensive coordination to continue to maintain the lead, and by the way, the lead was expanded.

The Thunder are powerless against the Clippers' style of play, and they sometimes can't even find where the basketball is, and they can't figure out why the Clippers players get the ball into the basket in just a few steps. With two minutes left in the quarter, Brother Panda hit a three-pointer from the top of the arc. The Clippers led by a full 22 points, 68-46.

Durant also knew that the gap between the two teams was too big, so he broke the jar and broke it. He continued to shoot three-pointers from the outside, and the result was good, and one person scored seven points in a row in the last two minutes, and the Thunder chased the score to 72-55 before the end of the halftime.

In the third quarter, the Thunder continued to attack from the outside, hoping to win the game by luck. Westbrook also played hard to break through, and the Thunder relied on brute force to play a wave of 10:3 to chase the difference to only 10 points.

However, the Clippers were not in a hurry, and Brother Panda continued to attack on the inside, scoring two goals and two assists, and single-handedly killed the Thunder's weak interior and re-widened the gap to 15 points. Later, even the little fox ran to the inside line to show off his might, and beat the Thunder wolf with his third-rate small hook hand.

At the end of the third quarter, the Clippers were 103-83 and regained a 20-point lead over the Thunder.

The Clippers went into the final quarter with a 20-point advantage, and the victory was already in their pockets, and the Thunder showed their tenacity, closing the gap to about 15 points several times in the fourth quarter. With three minutes left in the game, Artest scored a layup and scored five straight points to put the Thunder down by just 11 points at 121-110.

Dunleavy Sr. was so upset that he called a timeout and spewed the other Clippers players except the Animal Brothers. They didn't have to say anything on the offensive end today, and the cousins of the two brothers were good enough, but the defensive end was a little too coping, and they actually let the Thunder get a score of 110+, which should never happen in the eyes of old Dunleavy.

The Clippers players were scolded by Dunleavy Sr., and after returning to the court, they strengthened their defense, Crawford actually teamed up with Garcia to steal Durant, and then quickly launched a fast attack, and finally Ji Guoyi made a layup. The Clippers' shot completely wiped out the Thunder's hope of a comeback, and after that, the Thunder players missed consecutive shots, and Ji Guoyi hit another three-pointer with 1 minute left in the game, and the Clippers led by 16 points at 128-112.

Coach Brooks knew that the game was over, and once again had no choice but to replace all the main players, and announced his surrender for the second time.

At the end of the game, with a score of 130-115, the Clippers scored 130 points in the second game of the playoffs, showing amazing offensive ability, and also showing how poor the Thunder's defense is.

For the Clippers, Ji Guoqiu got 23 points, 20 rebounds, 12 assists and 6 blocks, a super-sized triple-double, Ji Guoqiu cut 35 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 blocks, and the two brothers teamed up to give the Thunder 11 blocks, which stunned the poor interior of the Thunder team. The rest of the Clippers players, Billups had 19 points and seven assists, and Crawford had 20 points.

For the Thunder, Durant scored a team-high 36 points, along with 6 rebounds and 3 assists, Artest had 22 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, Green had 20 points and 8 rebounds, Westbrook had 14 points and 5 assists, and Kukoc had 12 points and 7 rebounds.

After the game, Ji Guoyi didn't bother to release his mouth cannon skills to influence the opponent this time, and it was difficult for the Thunder team to make trouble for them, so the little fox almost said: "I'm already thinking about the opponent in the second round." Fortunately, he knew that this was the most hurtful character, and many stars died from this sentence, so he seemed very quiet after the game.

Ji Guoqiu gave the Thunder some face, he said: "I think Artest and Durant have a strong impact, Kukoc's skills are very good, if they reduce their mistakes and strengthen their defense, we will not be too easy on the road next." ”

After the Clippers game, the bull-horse battle began.

Duncan had a double-double of 25 points and 15 rebounds in this game, and Parker's breakthrough caused the Mavericks defense to collapse, and the Spurs won a game at home against the Mavericks. Nowitzki scored 24 points, though. John Terry also had a higher 27 on his account. But Duncan's 25 points and 15 rebounds were under the pressure of a big double-double. The Mavericks still lost to the Spurs with a score of 95-102, and the overall score of the two sides was 1-1.

Duncan had a big double-double of 25 points and 15 rebounds today, in addition to Shi Fo, Parker scored 27 points and 10 assists, Ginobili scored 20 points and 4 assists, Jamison also scored 20 points and 10 rebounds, and the Big Four combined to contribute 91 points.

On the Mavericks' side, Nowitzki finished with 24 points and 10 rebounds. Terry came off the bench to contribute a higher 27 points, Howard scored 17 points, but the Mavericks were the only three to score in double figures, and Kidd had 9 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists for another bizarre quasi-triple-double.

After the 22nd match, the first two matches of the first round of the East and West have ended. In the West, the Lakers 2:0 Hornets, the Rockets 1:1 Trail Blazers, the Clippers 2:0 Thunder, and the Spurs 1:1 Mavericks. In the East, the Cleveland Cavaliers 1:1 Chicago Bulls. Boston Celtics 1:1 New York Knicks, Orlando Magic 1:1 Philadelphia 76ers. Atlanta Hawks 1:1 Miami Heat.

The top four teams in the West, except for the Trail Blazers and Rockets, are 2:0 ahead. The East is all tied at 1:1, which shows that the gap between the Eastern teams is not big, although the Cavaliers did not win all the home games, but fortunately they did not fall behind 0:2.

On April 24, all teams switched their home stadiums, and whether they can defeat the strong with the weak depends on this round.

First up is Lakers vs Hornets.

The Hornets are back in New Orleans and after losing their first two games, they are pinning their hopes on their home court. After the opening, the Hornets really worked harder, fiercely scrambling for every rebound, and played nearly 4 minutes before the Lakers hit their first shot.

Bynum finally hit a good shot today, he had the upper hand against Chandler for the first time under the basket, and controlled the rebounds in the opening period, and the Hornets held a 20-11 advantage in the first quarter.

Kobe missed all 4 shots in the first quarter and didn't score a point, Gasol was also lost in New Orleans, Chandler also didn't perform well in the face of home fan boos, and the Lakers only relied on Byron. Davis supports the situation. With five minutes left in the second quarter, Bryant scored for the first time in an athletic battle. After Kobe Bryant scored, he gradually found his senses, and soon went to the free throw line to score, scored 4 points in a row, and assisted Chandler in the air relay, and the Lakers played a wave of 6:0 to chase the score gap to only 3 points. Chris. Paul quickly returned to the color and led a 9-2 wave to regain the advantage, and the Hornets led 42-38 in the first half.

In the second half, the situation suddenly changed, the Lakers strengthened their offense, and the Hornets suddenly became unable to play, not only frequently missed shots, but also made many pass errors, and the game returned to the pattern of the first two games. Bryant hit a three-pointer at the start of the third quarter. Davis also fired frequently from the outside, and the Lakers started the quarter with a 24-10 attack wave to take a 10-point lead.

The Hornets lost a good situation, and the Lakers completed the comeback in this quarter, leading 68-60 into the final quarter, and the Lakers shot only 25% in the first quarter, but reached 58% in this quarter.

However, the Hornets also went all out, Paul broke through in a row, and the Hornets started the final quarter with a wave of 16:4, exceeding the score in one fell swoop. The two teams began to get into a fierce battle, and there were several draws since then. It wasn't until 47 seconds left that David. West made a layup to give the Hornets an 83-81 lead. Bryant then hit a picturesque step-back jumper to tie the score, but Bynum immediately received an assist from Paul and dunked to give the Hornets an 85-83 lead with 16.9 seconds left in the game.

After the Lakers took a timeout, Gasol won the game, and the two sides tied again, and the Hornets still had 11.7 seconds to attack.

In the last 2.2 seconds, the Lakers failed to create a zào miracle, Kobe Bryant missed a long shot at the last moment, and the Lakers regretted losing.

The Lakers came to New Orleans and lost their first road game. On the other side, the Rockets faced the Trail Blazers at home, and today the Toyota Center in Houston was full of people, colorful flags fluttering, and the "Red Devils cheering group" was full of passion, this is the first home game of the Rockets in the playoffs this season. In the first two games, the Rockets and the Trail Blazers drew 1-1, and the Rockets gained home-court advantage, and when they returned to their home court, they could not afford to lose.

Adelman started today with David Lee, a young interior player from New York who was better defensively against Aldridge, and the Rockets' change of lineup will hopefully have an impact on the Trail Blazers. However, Yao Ming did not partner with David Lee for long today, and the little giant hit all four shots in the first quarter, and seemed to have returned to the state of the first game, and the Rockets were able to lead the Trail Blazers 26:18 in the first quarter.

However, the situation changed abruptly in the second quarter, and the referee blew Yao Ming for two bizarre fouls in a row, and the little giant had to rest after playing less than two minutes in the second quarter. However, the combination of David Lee and Scola also played a good table, and the Rockets had obvious advantages inside, in addition to David Lee, they also had a no. 1 elbow in the world who could shake their fingers - the African mountains could be used. After Yao Ming went off the court, the Rockets still defeated the Trail Blazers in the second quarter, leading the Trail Blazers by 14 points at halftime, 55-41.

Shortly after the start of the third quarter, the Rockets had a 17-point advantage, but less than halfway through the quarter, Yao Ming and David Lee were both whistled for their fourth fouls and had to go off the break. The Trail Blazers scored seven straight points to tie the score at 55-64. The Rockets didn't score a point in three minutes, and Battier hit a three-pointer that couldn't stop the Trail Blazers' offense, and Roy scored three consecutive dunks to tie the score at 61-67.

Marbury scored only 3 points in the first half and didn't shoot again until 3:15 left in the third quarter, and then he made two more layups as the Rockets finally got through the crisis with a sudden outburst of lone wolves.

Yao Ming scored 10 points in the first quarter, but failed to score in the second and third quarters, he still couldn't find a way out of the foul crisis, and in the fourth quarter he still didn't find a chance to score, and the Trail Blazers began to fight back. With five minutes left in the game, Blake hit a fast-break three-pointer to put the Trail Blazers down by just four points at 89:85.

At the critical moment, Battier stepped up again, and the Rockets captain also made a three-pointer to stabilize the Rockets' position, and then Marbury and David Lee staged an aerial relay, Ariza hit a three-point success, and the Rockets will play a wave of climaxes and lay the game in the final moments. The final score was 103:97, and the Rockets once again continued their tradition of scoring more than 100 wins.

Yao Ming was in foul trouble again today, playing only 26 minutes in total, shooting 6 of 8, 4 of 4 free throws, and only scoring 16 points, 11 rebounds, 3 blocks and 5 fouls.
