On April 26, the fourth round of the playoffs begins, and the Lakers and Hornets in the West, the Rockets and the Trail Blazers will play Game 4. ⊥ novel,

Paul played nearly 46 minutes on the first home court before the Hornets struggled to get through, but the Lakers would not give Paul another chance to do whatever he wanted, and he was strictly guarded at the beginning of today, and as a result, Paul frequently missed shots, hitting only 1 of 5 shots in the first quarter. The Lakers blossomed inside and out, and with 7:54 left in the quarter, Byron Brown. After Davis hit a three-pointer, they started the game 13-4.

Kobe Bryant today and Byron. Davis hit a lot from mid-range range, Gasol scored a couple of times inside, and the Lakers then went on a 9-0 run to open up 28-9 with three minutes left in the first quarter. Margeti finally hit a three-pointer, but Odom immediately dunked back the color, and today the lama finally showed a normal point, scoring four points in a row, and the Lakers went on a 6-0 run to take a 22-point advantage at 34-12. After the first quarter, the Lakers led 36-15.

The Hornets were stunned in the first quarter and never went on the offensive since. Less than four minutes into the second quarter, the Lakers had a 24-point advantage at 46-22. The players were in excellent shape, the team led by a large score, and the Lakers played more and more easily, leading by 25 points at one point in the quarter, and leading by 22 points at 60-38 in the first half.

In the entire first half, Paul scored only 4 points, and Bynum was even more successful in Tyson. Chandler's defense didn't score a point. After the start of the third quarter, Paul failed to lead the team on a counterattack, and the Hornets were already psychologically broken, and they missed shots in the quarter, and in the final six minutes of the quarter, they failed to make a shot. The Lakers won the quarter 25-10. They led 85-48 after the quarter.

In the fourth quarter, there was no need for the two teams to play the main team. The Lakers quickly extended their advantage to 40 and then 50 points before beating the Hornets 120-65 on the road by 55 points.

The 55-point margin is the largest single-game margin in the 53-year history of the Zàonba playoffs. The Hornets suffered a battering defeat at home, and it will be difficult to recover on the road, as their season draws to a close.

The Lakers once again created a major tragedy in the playoffs, with a 55-point difference being the second largest massacre in NBA playoff history, and the first massacre was created by the Lakers. The Lakers had not yet relocated to Los Angeles in 1956, and in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals, the Minnesota Lakers defeated the St. Louis Hawks 133-75, with all 10 players on the team scoring in double figures. In the second three quarters, they scored a total of 108 points, creating the first tragedy in the NBA playoffs. And today, 53 years later, they have once again completed a 50+ winning point difference, this time with the unlucky one being Chris. The New Orleans Hornets led by Paul.

Bryant. Bryant had 26 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. Davis had 21 points and eight assists. Gasol had 17 points and 14 rebounds, Odom 18 points and 10 rebounds, Chandler 13 points and eight rebounds, and Famar 13 points.

The Hornets were slaughtered at home and have come to an end this season. Chris. Paul had just four points and six assists in the game. David. West had 12 points and 6 rebounds, and Corey. Margeti 12 points. James. Posey had 10 points and Bynum had four points and five rebounds.

The Lakers created such a tragedy, Ji Guoyan was shocked when he heard the news in Oklahoma, and the luxury lineup of the Purple and Gold Army, once it goes crazy, is indeed unstoppable. Byron today. Davis is reminiscent of the bearded man who led the Warriors to the biggest Black Eight tragedy in history, and he proved himself to be one of the best point guards on the roster in this playoffs. But playing with the Lakers, Davis has always felt a little depressed, and this game seems to have finally been released, and Paul is hard to beat with two fists and four hands, a bit like the feeling of Durant now. When the Lakers team-wide targeted him, the rest of the Hornets gave him too little support.

After the Lakers game, the Rockets sat at the Toyota Center in Houston to play the Trail Blazers in Game 4 of the first round of the playoffs.

This game is not like the Lakers vs Hornets, where the two teams are inseparable from the start. Yao Ming dunked as soon as he started, but after that he fell into the defensive trap of the Trail Blazers and struggled to catch the ball. The Trail Blazers went on a 9-0 run to take an 11-4 lead. Yao Ming then played two plus one, which stopped the Trailblazers' offensive.

Marbury played exceptionally aggressively today, using his strong body to frequently eat Blake, and led the Rockets to a wave of 12:0 **, and the Rockets were able to overtake the score. Yao Ming scored eight points in the first quarter and the Rockets led 30-22.

The Trail Blazers began to chase points in the second quarter under the leadership of Roy, but it was difficult for them to play another offensive wave on the Rockets, Yao Ming showed his dominance on the defensive end, and the Trail Blazers could only shoot from the outside, and the scoring efficiency was difficult to sustain. And whenever they want to set off a wave of counter-attacks, Marbury will recognize Blake to score points. The Rockets grabbed the Trail Blazers seven inches today, and the opponent who played at the point guard position was unbearable. Marbury scored 20 points in the first half. When Dolan saw this lone wolf behaving like this, did he regret it a little?

In the third quarter, the scores of the two teams were still deadlocked, and although the Rockets had the upper hand, they couldn't prevent Brandon. Roy, unable to hit the attack wave to end the game completely. However, the Rockets relied on the defense of Battier and Ariza, as well as the excellent play of the bench, and the team still struggled to gain a score advantage in the third quarter, and after the third quarter, the Rockets led the Trail Blazers by 5 points at 65-60.

Yao Ming finally got his chance shortly after the start of the fourth quarter, first with a heavy dunk, and then an assist for Weaver's three-point shot, and after the Rockets went on a 7-2 run, the score became 72-62 and led by 10 points. After the Trail Blazers narrowed the gap to 5 points, Yao Ming finally broke out, scoring 6 points on the inside and leading the team to a wave of 8-0. Then, with five minutes left in the quarter, Yao Ming hit a hook and drew Aldridge for six more fouls, giving the Rockets an 11-point lead at 86-75. After that, the Rockets did not give the Trail Blazers another chance, and in the final three minutes, David Lee's mid-range shot turned the gap into 15 points, and the Trail Blazers were gone.

With a final score of 97:85, the Rockets won their two home courts, successfully turned the total score into 3:1, and got the match point.

This is the first time since Yao Ming entered the NBA that he has led 3-1 in the playoffs, and it is also the first time that he is so close to the second round. He was plagued by defensive and foul picks today, but still had 21 points and 12 rebounds, including 11 points in the final quarter to help his team beat the Trail Blazers, in addition to three assists. Marbury had a team-high 30 points and five assists, Scola had 12 points and eight rebounds, David Lee had 11 points and six rebounds, Battier had 10 points, eight rebounds and six assists, Ariza had eight points, Brooks had five points and Mutombo had two points and six rebounds.

Roy had 31 points, five rebounds and five assists, Aldridge had 19 points and 10 rebounds, Outlaw had 14 points and four rebounds, Blake had 11 points, eight assists and three rebounds, and Fernandez had 10 points and four rebounds.

After the game, reporters noticed a deep blood mark near Yao Ming's temple, which should be the "incriminating evidence" of the Trailblazers' rude defense of him, but the optimistic Yao Ming said, "Hehe, this is my wife's doing." Yao Ming's words made the people around him laugh, "This, just a joke." It can be seen that the little giant is very happy after getting the match point, this is the first time Yao Ming has such a good opportunity to break through the fate of the first round, not everyone can be as rebellious as the animal brothers, and won the championship in the first season.

Ji Guoyi, who was far away in Oklahoma, congratulated the Rockets on their victory, and bluntly said: "We really want to play against the Rockets, this is a very challenging game, I think it will be very exciting." The implication is that the first round is too boring now, and Thunder is like a little girl who won't resist, no matter how much you abuse her and ravage her, you can't get any reaction, just like facing an inflatable "Harmony" doll.

The local Oklahoma media was full of pessimism before the game, and even felt that it was a mistake for the Thunder to make the playoffs this season, because their opponents were so strong that they didn't output an all-time second like the Hornets, even if this group of young players had fighting spirit.

Coach Brooks also knows that he may have been labeled "by the Clippers" behind his back, so the same young head coach said before the game: "You have to accept this reality, and in this situation, if you want to save yourself, it's really hard." But I hope my players still have the courage to show their self-esteem, to know what they're playing for, and to put the best in themselves. At this time, this is the only way to do it. "Head coach Brooks has thought too well about the current situation, even if they win this home game, returning to Los Angeles will only suffer one more humiliation.

In the Thunder team, these days are also permeated with this apocalyptic atmosphere, and every day is like a day, at this time, the blame or angry scolding has long passed, and Brooks can only take other methods, "I tell them, this is the only way for you to become a good player, and when you are young, adversity can make you grow." Especially now that the whole world hates you, and everyone you meet on the road bows their heads so as not to shake your hand. But you still have to keep your head up and do what you're supposed to do, that's how life is. ”

Coach Brooks got a championship ring in Houston when he was a player, and he also knows that for the Thunder, this season is to see what the playoffs are like, and don't have those unrealistic goals, unless you give him two Durants, with the current Thunder roster, you can only hope that they can learn something in this playoffs.

Dunleavy Sr. of the Clippers said of the team's pre-game set-up, saying: "We had more targeted training before the game, and I want the players to pay attention to the timing of the steals, we can do a better job with the steals and the counter-attack, and the team still has a lot of room for improvement." ”

Before the game, Ji Guoyi really gave a kill order to the Thunder, and they didn't want to continue to play Game 5 with the Thunder, "I love Oklahoma, but I'd rather not see them again, so we have to be ready to end the series." (To be continued......) uR1071
