Chapter 719: Winning Three
They all thought that the Rockets could equalize the score, and they all thought that this would be a scorching series, but they never thought that the Rockets in the G4 battle were directly shot through by the Warriors.
As soon as the three points opened, the Warriors scored in a row, the Rockets scored very high, but the Warriors scored through the sky.
Montgomery's three-point + breakthrough style of play borrows from the Suns, but the Suns do not have such a terrifying offense as the Warriors, after entering the playoffs, as long as the Warriors play a rhythm, they are all about 120 points high, and it is also common to score more than 35 points in a quarter.
The explosiveness of the score is too strong.
The finals of the East and West have completely become two different styles, one is a competition for defense, and the other is a competition for rhythm.
Team Rocket stood on the edge of the cliff.
Accompanied by the endless silence of the Rockets, in the face of media interviews, Yao Ming, Maddie and others had no interest in speaking, the situation was too grim, and the goal of the Rockets was the championship.
Compared to the optimistic attitude after the last game, it is different.
1 to 3, there are few teams in history that can turn the tables, and winning 3 games in a row against the Warriors, the Rockets themselves can't believe it.
Only Rockets fans still believe in the miracle of 35.13 seconds, regardless of whether Maddie shoots more than 40 percent from the field today.
……
The Pistons and Cavaliers start the battle of Tianwang Mountain in G5.
Returning to Auburn Hills Palace, James must beat the Pistons here or else the series will not be a big deal.
The result was a game in which James played the most classic game of his career so far, playing two overtimes with the Pistons at Auburn Hills Palace and leading the Cavaliers to a narrow 109-107 victory over the Pistons.
James stepped up in the final minute of regulation time, scoring 29 of the team's 30 points, and 25 of them in back-to-back games, entering supernatural form, living in the Auburn Hills Palace arena to claim a victory for the Cavaliers.
Although the Pistons don't have a big book, they are still the top defensive team in the league, and James can play 48 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, which is simply inhuman.
Yang Di was also amazed, but he knew that James had reached the level of S+, in addition to comprehensiveness, his scoring ability was also super strong, once the superstar had a convulsion, he could directly take away the game, before he scored 58 points and took away a victory from the Suns' home court, which is the same reason.
The media in the United States immediately praised James, after this game, the Cavaliers won the first Eastern Conference championship in team history, which seems to have become a foregone conclusion, and James entered the Finals and met with the Warriors for the king, which seems to have become a matter of great attention.
The media said that Nike's general manager would wake up laughing in his dreams.
……
Oracle Arena, Oakland, San Francisco.
The Warriors and Rockets G5 battled, and the whole court was a sea of blue.
The Warriors released a commemorative T-shirt for the Western Conference finals before the game, and fans who came to watch the game received a T-shirt before the game.
The style of the T-shirt is blue, the chest is the Warriors' team logo, and the Warriors' Chinese and English team names are printed on it, because of Yang Di, the Warriors have added a lot of Chinese elements.
It's just that today, the Warriors wore a white jersey, and the Rockets still played in a classic red jersey.
The Rockets fought with their backs, and their expressions were obviously more dignified before the game.
At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, Yao Ming took the initiative to attack with his back, and Maddy, Alston and other outside players also desperately hung the ball inside, and the Rockets chose interior offensive tactics at the beginning.
In less than 3 minutes, a foul by Tyson Chandler was caused.
Montgomery immediately became alert, the game that the Warriors lost before was that Tyson Chandler fell into a foul crisis and the Warriors' interior was damaged, so as soon as Tyson fouled, Montgomery immediately adjusted the lineup, Biedrins played the No. 4 position, and Yang Di moved to the No. 5 position and began to fight against Yao Ming.
Yao Ming didn't get into the interior so easily, Yao Ming chose a mid-range jumper and easily hit some jumpers.
But at this point, the Warriors opened up from the outside, Fisher hit the first three-pointer, and Ray Allen followed suit, and the Warriors narrowed the score with back-to-back three-pointers, and the Warriors led the Rockets 13-11 at the first timeout.
In the second half of the first quarter, Monta Ellis came on the court, broke through to the Rockets penalty area along Yang Di's blocking route, and flew to the basket. Subsequently, Ray Allen and Yang Di blocked and dismantled, Yang Di cut the basket in the air, flew up directly after receiving Ray Allen's pass, Yao Ming pulled down Yang Di in the air and adopted foul tactics.
Yang Di walked to the free throw line and hit both free throws.
Maddy's three-pointer also hit a pointer and the Rockets clawed back a bit of a point deficit and ended the first quarter trailing the Warriors by one point at 24-25.
This kind of rhythm is acceptable for the Rockets, and every player has a 120% attitude, fighting aggressively and aggressively.
But in the second quarter, the Warriors bench led by Monta Ellis exploded in the power of home cheering, Trevor Ariza and Monta Ellis completed the empty catch, Matt Barnes steals the dribble of Rockets bench player Spann on the defensive end, and the talent gap between the two teams is very obvious.
Mutombo stood on the sidelines, the Warriors were almost all young, each could run and jump, and he could handle one or two, but when the opponent kept attacking the interior in all directions, even he was obviously struggling.
"These bunnies, if it had been ten years ago, no, five years ago......"
For the first time, Mutombo felt that he was on the verge of retirement, and he had been serving as Yao Ming's first backup with the Rockets, and he has been in good shape, and he feels that he can continue to play for another three to five years.
With Shannon Brown and Louis Williams who didn't play, the Warriors players were almost like track and field players.
"If the Suns are the Phoenix Bombardments, then the Warriors are the Golden State Jumpers."
Watching this game, "Magic" Johnson was amazed by the talent of the Warriors, the Warriors hoarded a large number of talented players in just a few years, and the Lakers' loss of Yang Di was simply a more failed thing than letting the sharks go east before, "If Kobe Bryant and Yang Dee are combined, at least 5 more championships can be won." ”
Tyson Chandler came out late in the second quarter and picked up another foul, but by this time he had a well-controlled foul count to ensure that he could also play enough time in the second half.
With the play of the benches, the Warriors led the Rockets by six points at halftime, 53-47.
It is a very embarrassing emotion to be behind all the time, and no matter how long-term the players on the field, in the face of the fate of being eliminated if they lose, they will slowly mess up, which requires very strong self-regulation ability.
