Chapter 229: The First One Is Eliminated
The fourth game between the Clippers and the Spurs looked a bit anticlimactic, the Spurs fell too strangely in the fourth quarter, Ginobili and Ji Guoyi had a verbal conflict on the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and then the Spurs made consecutive mistakes and were beaten by the Clippers with a 6:0 small *, so they lost the game in a daze.
This kind of losing process is not the style of the Spurs in the eyes of neutral fans, and in their impressions, how can the Spurs lose their cool and lose the game because of a skirmish?
But no matter how outrageous it is, this is the truth, and there are many more outrageous things in reality, such as Zidane's headbutt against Materazzi, isn't it unbelievable to everyone?
Since the French bald head can do such a bizarre thing, it is not difficult to explain the abnormality of the Argentine bald head, and it is estimated that the bald head is so emotional.
The final score was 93:75, and the Spurs also tried to fight back in the end, but the Clippers had too many reliable players at critical moments, and the two three-pointers of Billups and Ji Guoyi made the Spurs' counterattack fall in the middle.
"Old horses are easy to stumble", this is the unanimous opinion of the major media the next day, now 1:3 behind, the San Antonio Spurs have little chance of a comeback, although they still have two home courts, but the Clippers in a row three cities out of the strong Xiàn out of the show let everyone look sideways, not many people think that the Spurs can win three games in a row.
The NBA has a saying for a long time: Those who win the inside line win the world!
The Spurs' strong interior line, the brilliant Duncan can't parry the twin brothers' car * battle, the strength of the Clippers' interior line has been reflected in the playoffs, and many media sighed after the Spurs lost the fourth game: If even Duncan can't withstand the impact of the twins, then which team's interior line can complete this task?
Sir? Wasp? Lakers?
The Clippers are strong right now. However, there are also many people who believe that the Spurs' interior line is not so strong this year, and Duncan is difficult to support alone, and if there is a qualified interior partner to entangle one of the twins, it will not be difficult for Duncan to clean up the other.
The Jazz have Oku and Boozer; The Hornets have West and Tyson; The Lakers have Shark Jr. and Gasol.
None of these three teams can match Duncan's interior line. But they have no shortcomings, especially the Lakers, Gasol, Bynum, and Odom's trio is stronger than the twins, after all, Gasol can have the upper hand against either of the two, and Bynum and Odom can also entangle one of them.
The Jazz and Hornets are also not bad on the inside, such a comparison. The Spurs are really not strong in the West this year, and they can only win the first place in the regular season thanks to the magical rotation of Vicky and the Spurs' top-of-the-league tactical execution. But when it comes to the playoffs, the Spurs have many shortcomings that cannot be avoided, and their failures are not difficult to understand.
Fourth game. Ji Guoqiu had 13 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 blocks, Ji Guoyi had 18 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks, Billups had 15 points and 5 assists, Artest had 18 points and 5 rebounds, and Mobley had 18 points.
After the Clippers and Spurs game, the Hornets and Suns played Game 4.
After trailing 3-0 in the first three games, the Phoenix Suns refused to be swept and beat the Hornets 105-86 at home to tie the overall score at 1-3.
The Suns started with a big start and they managed to keep Chris at bay. Paul's successive breakouts, Raja. Bell scored seven points in a row, the Suns opened the game 11-1, and the Phoenix people sued everyone as soon as they came up. They refuse to sweep.
Hornets until 7:54, Tyson. Chandler only hit one shot and trailed the Suns by 13 points at 17:30 in the first quarter. By the end of the half, the difference had reached 20 points.
In the second half, the Hornets did not score a point in the first 3 minutes, and the Suns played an 8:0 score, and the difference between the two sides reached 28 points, and the Hornets completely surrendered. After three quarters, garbage time was over.
Never before in NBA history has a team been able to come back from 3-0 down. The Suns were as imposing as they started today, albeit with a slim turnaround. However, they don't want the Hornets to advance to the next round on their home turf.
The Suns scored in double figures with five players today, Raja. Bell scored 27 points on 5-of-7 three-point shooting, Dio had 20 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, Nash had 15 points and 9 assists, O'Neal had 14 points and 12 rebounds, and Smalls had only 7 points and 9 rebounds.
The Hornets did not complete the task of sweeping their opponents, and Queen Bee Chris. Paul was finally limited today, scoring only 16 points and 8 assists on 5-of-18 shooting. West had 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Tyson. Chandler had 10 points and 10 rebounds and Peja had eight points.
Kobe Bryant took the opportunity to ridicule his enemy after the Suns game, Peter Pan is now in an inverse mood with O'Neal, he sneered at O'Neal to a familiar reporter: "The Suns invited O'Neal to go for the championship, but I didn't expect the first round of the playoffs to hang, I think the Suns, who bet on the wrong treasure, must feel a big loss now." O'Neill may also be aware that his 36th birthday in 11 days is at home, and he can take the opportunity to lose weight, otherwise I don't think he will be able to get a job when this contract expires.
Charles. Barkley also fell into the trap, and the big ass said to reporters: "You know what? Originally, the Suns who did not have a center introduced O'Neal to be used to deal with the Spurs, but the Spurs are now going to be killed by the twins, and the Suns, who did not touch the Spurs, will also die in the hands of the Hornets, which is really interesting in the playoffs, the Suns bet on O'Neal, and the result is to lose all clothes. ”
These two guys have one thing in common with Ji Guoyi, that is, they are both cautious, as long as they see that their enemies are unlucky, they can't help but jump out and fall into the well.
On April 27, the Lakers and Mavericks, Jazz vs Rockets, this is the fifth battle between the two teams, and today may produce the first team in the league to be eliminated in the playoffs.
Ji Guosha is lying on Taylor today. Swift couch watching the game, I've never heard of anyone stripped naked to watch the game, these two sluts rolling on the couch hummed in their mouths, how much energy they put into TV and think about it with their asses......
"If you don't come to watch my game, I'm going to teach you a good lesson." Ji Guozhi shouted in his mouth, and he was really cautious.
Ji Guoqiu and Twilight Girl still have to nod their faces, and the two of them are watching the game in bed. But although the location is different, everything they do is a virtue, and it is the same hum...... The two brothers did basically the same thing tonight, and the two of them didn't know where they had forgotten about recuperation?
The Rockets came to Salt Lake City today to play the Jazz if they can't beat the opponent. The Rockets players will go home and take a vacation.
Maddie wore light-colored shoulder pads today, and before the game, he said that the shoulder injury was the key to his poor performance, and he even hinted at the possibility of surgery in the offseason.
In the final 5.5 seconds of the last game, Deron Williams missed two free throws, but Memet Oku grabbed the offensive rebound. Thus securing victory for the Jazz. This made Williams feel very relieved, and the little fat man said in front of the media: "He saved me, I owe Memet, I should give him a car, or some other ......"
Boozer was very rampant before the game. He declares that the rocket is dead!
The fifth game between the two sides was played at the Jazz's Devil's home stadium "Energy Center Arena", and the Rockets, who were cornered, had no way out, and although Maddy had a knee injury and a shoulder injury, he may have surgery after the season, but he still insisted on starting.
After the opening, the Rockets used their defensive skills to make the Jazz vulnerable on the offensive end. The first few games were shown to be excellent Delong. Williams couldn't find a sense either, and the Jazz were tied up by the Rockets on their home court.
In the first half, the Rockets relied on their ferocious defense to let Boozer, who spoke big before the game, be slapped in the face, and the anti-bone boy only got 2 points and 4 rebounds in the first half.
The Huston soldiers in their own "battle of life and death". Their role players played bloody, and Maddy was also brave, scoring 18 points in the second half to lead the team to close the gap, and the Rockets eventually defeated the Jazz 95-69, down 2-3 overall. Game 6 will be played in Houston.
The Rockets erupted en masse today, with Maddy scoring a game-high 29 points. plus 5 rebounds and 5 assists; Scola had a double-double with 18 points and 12 rebounds, Alston had 14 points and 6 assists, Mutombo had 8 points and 10 rebounds, and Bobby. Jackson had nine points and Landry had eight points and five rebounds.
Delong. Williams had 21 points and five assists, Boozer had 10 points and 10 rebounds, and Oku had 13 points and 10 rebounds. The Jazz bench players scored just nine points combined.
Yao Ming said excitedly after the game: "As long as the team can maintain such momentum and such defense, it is not impossible for the Rockets to become the first team to win from 0:3 down." ”
Uncle Mu also said: "We have always believed that defeat is victory, and we have never given up. ”
Ahead of Game 5 between the Lakers and Mavericks, Kupchak, who was ranked second in the season's best manager, spoke to the media.
After the Purple and Gold completed the Gasol trade, Kupchak is now the darling of Lakers fans, and if it weren't for the Celtics' bigger move to gather the Big Three, he would have been named Manager of the Year. Kupchak is in full swing right now, but last summer he suffered a crisis, when Lakers star Kobe Bryant. Bryant's transfer turmoil has left Kupchak with criticism from Lakers fans.
Looking back, Kupchak said that after he took over as the general manager of the Lakers, the most difficult period was not last summer, but the summer of 2004, and of course the protagonist of the story was Kobe.
In the summer of 2004, the Lakers moved Shaq. O'Neal was sent to the Miami Heat, and Kupchak planned to rebuild the team with Kobe as the core, but the ambitious Kupchak encountered a big problem, that is, Kobe was a free agent at the time, and he could choose to sign with other teams to leave the Lakers, and the Lakers' city rival, the Los Angeles Clippers, frequently courted Kobe.
Kobe Bryant was also hesitating to choose the Lakers or the Clippers at the time, and once Kobe left the Lakers, Kupchak's rebuilding plan would be completely ruined, so before Bryant made a decision, Kupchak was living like a year.
"I still remember the day Kobe called to inform me that I agreed to a contract extension, before Kobe told me that he would inform both teams of his decision that morning, I was waiting in the office for his call, and when I was told that Kobe was calling, that moment was very nervous, I took the phone, Kobe told me that he was willing to stay with the Lakers, and I felt at that time, I want to never forget it," Kupchak said. ”
The Los Angeles Lakers grabbed the match point after winning Game 3 on the road, and they can advance to the Western Conference semifinals as long as they win their home court, and Kobe Bryant will lead the team to advance today; The Mavericks are currently demoralized, and Dirk. Nowitzki and Jason. Kidd said they would not give up their efforts, but they were at odds with coach Johnson and didn't know how they would behave at home, and no one was optimistic about them anyway.
The Mavericks, like the Suns, are in a desperate situation, as no team in the history of the league has ever come back from 3-0 down. The current state and strength of the Mavericks, their dream of turning the tables is more of a "flower in the water, the moon in the mirror".
There was no suspense in this game, the Lakers defeated the Dallas Mavericks 102-84, and Kobe Bryant once again dominated the game in the final quarter, contributing 14 points in a single quarter to lead the Lakers to a clean victory over a team they haven't played in the playoffs for 20 years.
And for the Mavericks, the 18-point fiasco may not be so desperate, what is desperate is the facts in front of them and the strong strength of the Lakers, the Lakers are like an unattainable mountain, the lineup that Cuban has worked so hard to put together is lost again, and their hand looks extremely bad.
The Lakers showed a terrifying offensive power throughout the game, with five players scoring in double figures, Kobe Bryant scored 22 points, Gasol and Bynum scored 14 points each, Odom 12 points, Fisher 9 points, and Wharton 10 points. In addition, Ujacic and Famar also contributed eight points each, and their role on the bench cannot be underestimated. Kobe Bryant is more well-rounded in the game, with 8 assists and 7 rebounds, and he has used his all-round ability to interpret the value of the Lakers' leader.
"I don't need to score 81 points again because it's not necessary," he said after the game. Indeed, the overall strength of the Lakers has liberated Kobe Bryant a lot, and the combat effectiveness of the Purple and Gold has also been significantly improved. The Lakers No. 24 is now the leader of the team, and he only needs to give the opponent a fatal blow at the crucial moment!
The Los Angeles Times believes that Kobe Bryant is still the "scoring maniac" who can score 81 points in the past, and the Lakers are no longer the "fringe team" that has gone through the playoffs in the past two years, they are a team trying to win the championship, and they are the "purple and gold aristocrats" who have risen again.
Of course, after Kobe Bryant won, he still didn't forget to satirize the enemy, and he used the series table xiàn Jason. Kidd gave an example, arguing that the Mavericks and Suns were of the same nature, and concluded: "Times have changed, and you can't bet on O'Neal anymore." (To be continued) R655
