On May 19, with the 45 points and 22 rebounds of the Panda brother, the Clippers went to the next city, and the momentum of the defending champion was irresistible. After the Cavaliers in the East led 2-0, the defending champions certainly couldn't afford to be a head behind and gave their opponent the Suns an embarrassing 2-0 lead.

After two games, the Suns lost without complaints, from 22 points in the first game to 14 points in the second game, although the second game allowed Brother Panda to break his personal playoff point record, but it reflects that the Suns' defense has reached a higher level, but it is not good enough.

ESPN reports: What the Suns need to do now is play every game well to avoid the chance of being swept, and 0:4 is simply the biggest embarrassment. Looking at today's Sun challenging the Clippers, it can only be said that the skills are not as good as others, and the strength is not slightly inferior, but several. This is like another Los Angeles team back then, the Lakers challenged the Suns, how majestic Kobe Bryant was at that time, but the strength of the team was different, and he was finally eliminated. After the two games of the Western Conference finals, it can be said that the probability of the Suns being swept has risen to 99%.

In fact, the Clippers are already very face-giving, and they are giving face to the Suns. They didn't completely fight with all their might, for example, in the second game, Brother Panda was crazy, Brother Fox put away his strength, they didn't need the two brothers to play together to win, how else could the Sun play?

The Suns' frantic offense will not be able to suppress the Clippers no matter what, whether it is offense or defense. However, the fact that the sun has been able to come to this day can be said to have created a miracle. Judging from the first two battles, the strong strength of the Clippers made the Suns have no ability to resist, not that they are not strong, but the enemy is too ferocious.

The Clippers lead the Suns 2-0. It cannot be said that the defending champions are 100% sure of making the cut. But at least nine out of ten. Undoubtedly. The Clippers will not learn from the tragedy of the Lakers being overturned by the Suns in 2006 with a 3-1 lead, the Clippers at this time are far stronger than the Lakers at that time, and more than a notch stronger, the Suns want to turn the tables as if they were fools' dreams. In fact, the media that is now talking about sweeping is not one or two, ninety percent of the media believe that the Clippers will sweep the Suns, and there is indeed a big gap between the strength of the two teams. But the sun can't rest on its laurels. You have to fight hard and play your own style.

The Associated Press reported: The overall score is 0:2 behind, the current Suns are really not happy, the loss is understandable, but they have more embarrassing things than 0:2 down, they have conceded an average of 128 points per game in the two games, and the two games combined have lost by a total of 36 points. It looked like they were completely powerless to compete with the defending champions, and even if they could tie the score at the end of the third quarter, they only needed the Clippers to pull out when it mattered. The sun can only be restrained.

In the second game of the Western Conference Finals, the first half was under the blow of Brother Panda. The Suns trailed by 14 points at one point, but they rallied back in the third quarter, and Nash was the team's hero in the third quarter, scoring 10 points in a single quarter and scoring 22 points in the game. But as soon as the Clippers made a force in the fourth quarter, there was no suspense in the game, and it was the sadness of the Suns to expect the 36-year-old Nash to cut down 30+ saviors, not to mention that he had such a wonderful performance, and the Suns still couldn't win.

Richardson, a former dunk king, said after the game: "We need to be better, we need to find a way to win, I felt good today and I know I have to try to attack the opponent and try to get the team back into the game." But in the end, we fell short, which was frustrating. ”

In the fourth quarter, the Suns completely lost their chances, and under the two brothers' turns, the Phoenix people's defense completely collapsed, and the hope of winning in the third quarter was completely extinguished. Suns coach Erwin. Gentry commented: "We had three consecutive turnovers in the fourth quarter and six in a single quarter. They took advantage of the opportunity to play a fast break and scored consecutive points, and the game has been out of control ever since. ”

In two consecutive games, the Clippers scored to break through the 120 mark. Nash was rather unhappy, and the former MVP posted a double-double today, but his 26 points and 12 assists weren't enough to help the team avoid a loss.

Nash reluctantly said: "If we concede more than 120 points every night, well, then I can really just try to score more points, no matter how we defend, they can shoot and hit, Brother Panda has a lot of difficult goals, he is more difficult to deal with than last year." ”

The Suns played the Clippers twice, Nash scored 16 and 22 points respectively, and if the Suns' defense still didn't improve in Game 3, Nash might have to run for 30 points.

And the other star of the Suns, Ammar. Stoudeyer became the object of ridicule after the game, and after the first game, Smalls claimed that the Clippers were lucky to grab that many rebounds, but today the Clippers grabbed 52 rebounds again, and the two brothers combined to grab 33 rebounds. On the other hand, Xiao Si still only has 18 points and 6 rebounds, and today when he competed for rebounds with his fox brother, he was obviously inferior in jump speed. Ji Guoyi's legs are like two springs installed, and although he can't say how high he jumps, the speed of the bullet is too fast.

Of course, the reporter who did a good thing after the game would not let go of Xiaobawang and asked him what he thought of his fox brother's table today, so that the Sun star was not embarrassed, although Ji Guoyi only scored 22 points, but he had 12 rebounds, which was twice as much as his.

Not only the Los Angeles media ridiculed Xiaosi, but even the Phoenix media began to attack Stoudemire, who believed that Stoudemire's problem was more of a lack of morale, and when the 36-year-old Nash burst into tears for Suns fans with a left-handed shot, Stoudemire gave up the game early, and rebounding may not be as attractive to him as a beauty.

The Suns failed to rise at Staples and can only hope for a miracle after falling behind 0-2. Miracles have not happened for nothing, in the 05-06 season, the Suns once reversed the Lakers after falling behind 1-3, but the Lakers at that time were naturally not comparable to this championship team, and the current Suns are not comparable to the heyday at that time.

Charles. Barkley said after the game: The advantage of the Clippers, from head to toe. If the Suns and the Clippers want to compare, the Suns, who are weaker in overall strength, must play their own advantages in order to gain a chance to survive. On the defensive end, the Suns should be more likely to come up with a strategy. It's not that the Suns don't work hard defensively, but the body and consciousness decide together, and the Suns have no way out at this time.

The Clippers' passage over the Suns is almost what most people can think of, and the key is how to end the series. With the spirit and fighting spirit of the two brothers, as well as the overall strength of the Clippers, they may not give the Suns a chance. As for the Suns, they have to find a way to refuse to be swept no matter what.

On May 20, the Cleveland Cavaliers traveled to Orlando to face the Magic who prevented them from reaching the Finals.

After losing the first two games to the Cavaliers, the Magic returned to the home court to play the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals with the Cavaliers, and the two sides fought quite fiercely, with the starting centers of the two teams, Vallejo and Howard both fouling the court, and finally the Magic defeated the Cavaliers 96-88, rewriting the score to 1:2.

The first two games, Jamal. Nelson's appearance is not good, all the numbers are relatively bad, the shooting percentage of 26 shots in the two games combined shows the true colors of the "Iron King", it is rumored that Nelson's excessive number of shots has caused the dissatisfaction of the monster Howard, but the big Van Gundy is very important to this point guard.

In the third game, Nelson was on the rise, and although Howard was fouled for six fouls in the end, he played 40 minutes in the whole game and scored 28 points and 15 assists, which was the biggest contributor to the team's victory. And he also made 9 of 14 free throws today, and the Cavaliers didn't dare to use foul tactics against him after finding out that Howard's free throws were more accurate today.

Howard said after the game: "We had a strong win, and we could feel that everybody wanted to win that championship and knew how to fight for him. ”

However, the Magic's current game is still not very good, and they must win the fourth game of the day after tomorrow to avoid being picked up by their opponents. The teams that have fallen behind 1:3 in history and turned the tables are just a few, once they force themselves to such a desperate road, it will be too late to turn the tables.

Black Bread blamed himself for the loss, saying: "The most disappointing thing for me is that I didn't get my team to prepare better for the game, and it was my job to start everything. I'm the coach of this team and I should do better. ”

James also said: "It's a tough defeat to swallow, the shape in front of us is not so good anymore, their appearance is very good, they are more eager to win today than we are." In fact, it didn't take long for the game to start and they left us behind, and we've been chasing it ever since. ”

Experts believe that the strength of the Cavaliers has not actually improved much compared to last year, and in addition to James, their reliable role players are still only Xiao Mo, Old Captain, Brazilian actor, and then Navarro and Anthony. Parker replaced the Emperor West, and in the end, it was all James's incomprehension to win.

The Cavaliers haven't changed much, but the Magic have fallen a bit this year due to the departure of Tegkru. After the departure of the Turks, the Magic no longer had a qualified playmaker, and there were no key players who could execute tactics in key moments.

Carter's execution is much worse now than in previous years, and he has never been a qualified passer, which is still very different from last season's Turkoglou, he is not as good as Turkoglou for the Magic, which is why the Magic have declined this season.

Howard has always been unhappy with the Turk's departure, of course, not dissatisfied with Turkoglou's departure for money, but dissatisfied with the unwillingness of the Magic top management to pay the luxury tax for the championship, and even more dissatisfied with their 20 million brain-dead contracts for players like Lewis, how can such an incompetent management make the team competitive?
