On May 14, the first winner of the Western Conference semifinals was decided, and the Clippers eliminated the Houston Rockets 123-109 at home and reached the Western Conference Finals for the second consecutive year.

Ji Guoqiu got 22 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal, Ji Guoqiu 28 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 6 blocks and 2 steals, Billups 11 points and 4 assists, and Crawford 10 points.

Yao Ming had 30 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists, Marbury had 21 points and 9 assists, Scola had 12 points and 5 rebounds, Brooks had 12 points, Battier had 11 points, Weaver had 6 points and Ariza had 5 points.

Ji Guoyi broke his playoff block record in this game, and he sent a total of six hot pots today, which made the Rockets eat very well. Before that, he had a playoff record of five blocks, and today he improved that record by one.

Yao Ming only scored 4 points in the fourth quarter, and the little giant finally collapsed on the body lì problem, and the final quarter could not support the team forward like the first three quarters.

His body is so heavy that it is obviously not the best choice for him to carry the team forward. If he had been able to avoid the heaviest burdens like Gasol, perhaps he would have achieved much more than he has now.

At the post-game press conference, Ji Guoyi, who was named the best player of the game, said with a smile: "This Rockets team reminds me of the champion teams of '94 and '95, the champion team of those two years didn't score much in the fourth position, mainly relying on the fifth position to score, and now it is the same, Yao Ming has caused us a lot of trouble, and they have also shown their tenacity." The champion team has to have a great heart and I think this team does have that characteristic, they are very good, but we are even better. ”

When asked whether he would like to face the Spurs or the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, Ji Guoyi always replied unscrupulously: "The Lakers seem to me to be easier to deal with, and they can't set other offensive routines for Kobe Bryant except for their 18-foot dribble jumper." If Kobe Bryant blindly jumps, we are not afraid of them. Even if he breaks through, my brother and I will let him go back and forth, let alone let him get a dozen free throws in a game. ”

The elder Dunleavy complimented the whole Rockets team after the game, basically naming and praising the Rockets players one by one, except for Adelman, and the old guy secretly hinted that Adelman had problems with the lineup.

That's right, this guy is not stupid, knowing that Adelman has always satirized his use of troops from time to time in this series, but the elder Dunleavy did not fight back at that time, but waited until the time to eliminate the opponent, and then returned it as the winner.

On May 14, just after the Clippers eliminated the Rockets, the Magic in the East also played the fifth game with the Celtics.

The first four games between the two teams were tied 2-2, and the Green Shirts played at home today, with the Big Three teaming up to score 78 points and eliminate Superman who had 20 points and 17 rebounds.

The Magic had already won a 2-1 good situation, but Garnett made a meritorious contribution in the last game, shooting a killer goal to equalize the score for the Celtics. Back at home in the fifth game, Celtic tried to win the battle of "Tianwang Mountain", but unfortunately, in this round of matchups, the home field was no longer an advantage, and Celtic soon fell into trouble.

Lewis then hit a shot, Alston and Redick hit back-to-back three-pointers to give the Magic an eight-point run to take a 22-16 lead in the first quarter, with the Celtics hitting just one shot in the final three minutes of the quarter.

With seven minutes left in the quarter, after Pierce closed the deficit to six points, Lewis immediately returned with three points, and the Celtics just couldn't close the score to less than five points.

With 37 seconds left before the end of the quarter, Pierce scored 3-pointers on a free throw, and the Celtics only trailed 59-65, but Turkegrew did the same and also scored a "three-pointer", and the Magic entered the final quarter 68-59.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Magic took a double-digit advantage, and the Celtics were not willing to be tied down and constantly launched counterattacks.

The Magic team, which was excellent in the whole game, suddenly fell into a scoring drought in the last 5 minutes, and the 10-point advantage came to naught. With 1 minute and 20 seconds left in the race, Ray. Allen was unrelenting, hitting three-pointers from distance, and Garnett hit two consecutive mid-range shots, and the Big Three went on an 11-0 run to take an 86-85 lead.

The Magic also resorted to foul tactics, and Ray. Allen also made two free throws, and the two sides were still 3 points apart.

In the final moments of the game, the two sides began to tie the winner at the free throw line, which became a watershed moment in the game, because Howard missed both free throws, Garnett grabbed the rebound for the Celtics, and after hitting both free throws again, the Celtics sealed the victory.

Howard was depressed after the game, and they died on free throws as the Celtics won a crucial game to earn match point.

Garnett quickly adjusted after a poor first two games and increased his shooting from the outside, scoring a team-high 22 points and grabbing 10 rebounds today. Pierce 19 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists. Allen had 15 points and Rondo had 12 points and 10 assists.

On May 15, the Lakers and Spurs in the West played the fifth battle of Tianwang Mountain, while the East was the Cavaliers VS Hawks, who had already won the match point 3:1.

The Hawks, who had fought on their backs, played particularly tenaciously today, finally letting James' scoring drop somewhat, but they still couldn't stop the Cavaliers.

In the first quarter, James frequently missed under heavy defense, except for two dunks, only one shot from the outside, and the remaining five shots were missed, and he failed to get a free throw opportunity in this quarter, so that the Cavaliers only scored 15 points in the first quarter, 7 points behind the Hawks.

James couldn't play in the second quarter, hitting just one shot, but his teammates were good and Cleveland put the score out.

Shortly after the start of the third quarter, James hit two shots and the Cavaliers scored eight straight points to take a double-digit advantage at 48-38.

The Eagles scored for the first time after playing nearly five minutes in the quarter, and they closed the gap to five points several times after that, but were unable to go any further.

James missed two shots at the start of the fourth quarter and hit a three-pointer with 6:30 left in the quarter, but Brand and Big Z gave the Emperor plenty of support on the inside, and they grabbed back-to-back rebounds to give the Cavaliers a 10-point lead at 72-62 as the game entered the final five minutes.

After that, the Cavaliers didn't give the Hawks another chance, James didn't play well on the offensive end today, but he still maintained his dominance on the defensive end, and the Cavaliers made it difficult for the Hawks to score every point.

In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Hawks 89-78 at home, thus eliminating the opponent 4-1 and advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals first, waiting for the winner of the Magic and Celtics.

At the post-game press conference, James was in a good mood and said, "It's not our ultimate goal to reach the Eastern Conference Finals again, our goal is the same as all playoff teams, and that's the final championship ring." ”

Then, the emperor, who returned to the division finals, recounted his childhood experience: "When I was a child, whenever I said I was going to play in the NBA, the people around me would laugh at it, and I was thinking about the great cities, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York! LeBron paused when talking about New York, this is too sensitive a topic! Clevelanders have eaten hormone-like tables that have made New York almost forget that beautiful fantasy, but if the Emperor's dream of winning this year's title is shattered again, the relocation of the palace will be on the agenda again!

Many people maliciously think that if the Cavaliers fail to win the championship again this year, perhaps the completely disappointed James will say that Cleveland is my eternal home after winning the number of 40+9+9 in the 09-10 season, while coming to New York with his agent to accept the new top worship!

The Cavaliers reached the Eastern Conference Finals, and the Lakers vs. Spurs game began.

Bryant took fewer shots in the game today, and although the boss helped the team tie the overall score at 2-2 in the first few games, he was exhausted. Today he learned to play with his play, he has some hidden strength on the field, he is not in a hurry to attack, and hopes that his teammates can stand up and solve the problem.

So Kobe Bryant only shot once in the first quarter, still near the three-point line.

The Spurs played at home and launched a 10-2 attack wave from the start. The bearded man became the main attacker today, he first hit his own pull-up jump shot, and then assisted Chandler on the air relay, Gasol also scored two on the inside, and after the Lakers went on a 12-2 run, the score was exceeded again, and the two sides fought 23-23 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Bryant still closed the game, only broke through to the basket twice and hit a shot, and did not shoot a single shot from medium and long distance.

With two minutes left in the quarter, Ginobili hit a three-pointer to give the Spurs a 49-44 lead.

Bryant finally made a move, forced a breakthrough layup and caused a foul, and hit a 3-pointer successfully, and the Lakers closed the gap, and the two sides ended the half and entered the second half at 55:55.

Ginobili had a strong match with Kobe today, and at the beginning of the third quarter, the demon knife hit a three-point shot, and Kobe Bryant immediately made a step-back jumper.

However, Kobe Bryant had no desire to score points with others today, and he still had very few shots after that, shooting 2 of 3 in this quarter, and he only took 6 shots in the first three quarters, but had 5 assists.

The Spurs led by eight points at 68-60 at one point, and Odom, an extremely unstable guy, scored three consecutive points after playing today to help the Lakers tie the score. Bryant also hit a three-pointer after that, and the two sides went into the final quarter 76-76.

Shortly after the start of the fourth quarter, Bryant still passed the ball first, broke through and distributed the ball to Odom, who ended with a one-handed dunk and caused a foul to score three points.

The two teams then went to a stalemate, with neither team scoring.

At the critical moment, Kobe Bryant suddenly made a threat, hitting frequently shots, and the Lakers played 12-0 and took a 15-point lead at 91-76 in one fell swoop.

The Spurs never expected that Kobe Bryant would suddenly kill them like an assassin today and give them a fatal blow in such a period of time.

Duncan hurried on, and the Spurs regained their senses and chased the score to 95-90 with three minutes left in the game.

But at the critical moment, Kobe Bryant received a pass from Gasol after cutting in the air, made a layup and caused a foul, and the Lakers gained an eight-point advantage.

After Ginobili missed a three-point gamble, Kobe Bryant made a foul on the offensive end, and hit both free throws, and the Lakers took a 10-point advantage at 100-90 in the final minute of the game to seal the victory. R1152
