Early the next morning, the whole Heat team rushed to Indianapolis, Indiana, by special plane. Enjoying the advantage of two home games, the Heat finally took the turn to play on the road, in fact, as soon as they came to this city that is no stranger to the whole Heat team, everyone had an uncomfortable feeling, as if something bad was about to happen.

Everyone knows that the team playing at home has a better chance of winning, and it is rare for the series to be swept unless there is too much difference in strength between the two sides, but in the outside world and past experience, the Heat does not look like they can sweep the Pacers, and it seems to be more difficult to do it now when James was there.

Coach Spo has always asked that he must ensure that he is undefeated at home, but there are no strict requirements for away wins, Xie Chen of course wants to win four consecutive games and directly advance to the next round, but in the eyes of Chalmers, Cole, Wade and other old rivers and lakes, it is not realistic, there is no need to pursue perfection, it is not a big deal to lose one, the important thing is to win the series.

On the way, Xie Chen felt that the whole team's pursuit of victory was not very high, at least it was slightly lower than the first two games, and I believe that any team that has won two consecutive victories will have a sense of pride, but Xie Chen did not, even if he was the most qualified and arrogant.

Once the Pacers pulled back a game, it gave the Pacers confidence and let them know that the original Heat can be defeated, and it is likely that the Pacers will win another game, once it is tied 2-2, the result will be difficult to predict, after all, the NBA is a place where miracles happen.

However, everyone's current state is not something that can be changed by Xie Chen's reminder or two.

Today, there are teams in the East and West competing in the playoffs, and the first game to start is the Rockets and Mavericks. The Rockets are in the same situation as the Heat right now, both of them have won two straight games at home, and now they are playing on the road. Mentally and in condition, the two teams are about the same. When I saw Howard before the game, I knew that the whole Rockets team was optimistic now, but Harden still had a stern face.

After the start of the game, the two sides played inextricably in the first quarter, and the fans at the scene were quite fanatical, especially Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, this guy will go to the scene in Houston to cheer for the team even if he plays away, full of fan owners, at home today. Cheering and shouting is even more unsparing, but fortunately, Nowitzki looks in good shape today, and the Mavericks seem to have great hope of turning the tables around.

The Mavericks are also old rivals of the Heat, but no one thinks they will meet them in the Finals this year.

"I thought it would be a series of fierce matchups in the first round, but I didn't expect it to be one-sided." Wade smiled.

Haslem smiled: "Don't worry, maybe the Mavericks can win this game, the most fierce in the first round is the Clippers and Spurs, and we can't wait to see their next matchup." ”

From the beginning of the second quarter, the Rockets suddenly felt cooler, but the Mavericks still maintained the opening momentum. On the bench, in particular, three players scored more than five points and led their opponents by nearly 10 points at halftime.

Just when people thought the Mavericks were about to pull back a game. At the beginning of the second half, Hakishi told the opponent with his actions, no way! In the third quarter, he scored 16 points in a single quarter, and scored 34 points after three quarters.

"Oh my god, James Harden's performance is crazy, it's literally an MVP-level show! Thank. I think it's also possible that this guy is a threat to you and Stephen Curry fighting for the MVP. "Chalmers was stunned, and Harden's hand was just too hot.

Xie Chen also smiled helplessly. I secretly said in my heart: "It seems that not only I have played at the highest level this year, James Harden, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Russell Westbrook." These guys all played their best career performances. Why do I think these guys are all stimulated by me? ”

This year is a happy season for most NBA fans, except for the superstar Kobe Bryant who only played a short period due to injury, James is at his peak, James Harden, Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, Xie Chen These people all have breathtaking performances, which can be said to be a year of great talent.

Speaking of Russell Westbrook, the Thunder recently announced a heavy news, that is, Thunder coach Brooks was fired, Xie Chen was also very surprised when he heard about it, in fact, Xie Chen still likes this coach more, Westbrook can play so crazy this season, Brooks also contributed a lot.

He very much encourages players to play the way they are used to, which is often referred to by fans as XJBD, such as Dion Wittus, who was regarded as a cancer and traded away in the locker room bomb after the Cavaliers were treated as a cancer, locker room bombs, and was able to mix well in the Thunder, however, Dion Wittus is really a coach killer, he has been in the league for three years, and after each season, the coach who brought him will be fired, Byron Scott, McBrown, and now Brooks, I don't know if the new coach of the Thunder can escape this curse.

Just thinking about the Thunder incident, Xie Chen suddenly received a message from Westbrook: "Hey, man, are you watching the Rockets?" James is simply hot! ”

Xie Chen quickly replied to Wei Shao, who didn't know where to go fishing: "I seem to have seen the scene where he showed off to me after the game......

"Hahaha, I'm very happy to see that you can all play so smoothly in the playoffs, and I will continue to follow the playoffs to support you! I wish you all made it to the finals so I could go live and watch the game! Wei Shao now treats Harden and Xie Chen as brothers, so it's no wonder that he is so excited about the NBA game after going fishing.

The game between the Rockets and the Mavericks did not become unsuspenseful because of Harden's outburst, Nowitzki stood up again to save the team, at the last moment, Novatzki made two free throws to chase the score to only one point, at this critical moment, Harden broke through strongly and played a 2+1 to re-stabilize the situation, and finally, the Rockets won the game with difficulty on the road and won the game with a 3:0 advantage.

"It doesn't seem to be easy to play away, but if you can keep the score deadlocked until the end. Then it is still the stronger team that wins. Watching the game between the Rockets and the Mavericks gave Xie Chen some inspiration, that is, tomorrow's game with the Pacers. Even if you can't take a big lead like in the last game, you have to bite the score. As long as the stalemate is held to the end, the key score and key defense must be better than the Heat, so the probability of winning will be relatively large.

This time, Harden got 40+ again, and it is conceivable that Harden will show off to Xie Chen again later.

Today's second matchup is between the Bulls and the Raptors, the two sides came to the home court of the Toronto Raptors in Canada, the Raptors fans are quite fanatical, and the outdoor plaza is crowded with people. They all want the team to win this victory, as long as the Raptors score, it is an overwhelming cheer, the Bulls really can't resist, Rose is a little out of shape, but what is unexpected is that Jimmy Butler suddenly stood up in this game, scored the highest score on the team, and once again slashed the Raptors off the horse, and another 3:0 team appeared!

After the Bulls' victory over the Raptors. Coach Spo walked up to everyone and said solemnly, "Maybe it's disrespectful to your current opponent to set your sights on Chicago now." But now it's clear that if we advance, the next opponent will be the Chicago Bulls, and if we play against the Bulls, what do you think? ”

Wade now has a love-hate relationship with the Chicago Bulls: "The Bulls are definitely not easy to play against, and although the Bulls win the game now, they will definitely be our opponents in the next round, but before we can really finish the Pacers." Don't think about them just yet. ”

Hassan Whiteside seemed confident: "We didn't seem to lose to the Bulls in the regular season, so I don't think this team has anything to fear. ”

Coach Spo looked at Xie Chen. Smiled and asked, "What about you?" Thanks, you have a similar style of play to D-Rose. Are you looking forward to meeting him? ”

Xie Chen smiled, and then said with a stern face: "I can only say that we must not lose to any opponent before we meet LeBron." ”

Xie Chen's opponent in the east is only James! I don't know how Paul George and Ross would feel if they knew that Xie Chen didn't take them seriously at all.

Everyone talked about the Chicago Bulls together, and continued to pay attention to the Clippers and Spurs, which are considered to be the most tragic matchups in the first round, Xie Chen was once optimistic that the Clippers could win the Western Conference championship this year, but he didn't expect to come to the Spurs' home court and lose to the opponent! The series was 1:2 behind!

"Aren't the Clippers going to plant in the first round?" Xie Chen really didn't expect this result, Xie Chen didn't lose many opponents in the regular season, Paul's Clippers is one of them, frankly speaking, if the finals are against the Clippers, Xie Chen feels that it will be very difficult to play.

The next day was about to play, and everyone quickly went back to their respective rooms to rest, I don't know if it was the first time to play the playoffs, Xie Chen fell asleep very late.

"The Pacers have no way back, once they lose three games in a row, it means that there is no chance of a comeback, so tomorrow they will definitely bounce back, they will definitely do their best to win one, if they can win tomorrow, this series can end early."

In Xie Chen's view, the victory or defeat of the first and second games is not as important as tomorrow's game, this is a game that can destroy the opponent's confidence, and Xie Chen's favorite thing to do is this, like a cold-blooded killer, just like Kobe Bryant back then.

The playoffs have begun for some days, ESPN issued a chapter at this time to predict the team that advanced in the first round, thinking that strong teams like the Warriors, Cavaliers, and Bulls will sweep the opponent 4:0, and the Rockets will be caught up by the Mavericks in one game, and although the Heat beat the opponent in the second game, experts predict that the Pacers will not be swept in this series, at least two games can win the Heat, and even once they win both games on the road, the possibility of a comeback is relatively high, and the Clippers and Spurs think that they will fight to the seventh game, and the experienced Spurs will advance.

Everyone seems to think that the Pacers will bounce back, how can they not win a game?

On this day, the Pacers' home bankers living arena was filled with fanatical fans, and when they finally waited for their team to come home to play, everyone was excited and everyone went out of their way to cheer on their favorite team.

"Just when the regular season was coming to an end, we didn't know if the Pacers would make the playoffs, but I didn't expect Paul George to suddenly come back, and then the Pacers played a winning streak and miraculously advanced to the playoffs, and at that time I knew that this team couldn't be defeated lightly!" A pure and beautiful woman, dressed in the same uniform as everyone else, with a determined look in her eyes, looked at Paul George with affection.

Her boyfriend next to her is not an NBA fan, or even an Indiana, but he is full of pandering: "Honey, you're right!" The Pacers are not much worse than the Heat, there is no reason why they can't win a game, this one seems to be very critical, once it loses, it will be three to three, I believe the Pacers will win, and it will be a big win! ”

Gotta win! It's every Pacers fan, every Pacers player who repeats the words in their hearts, and now the Pacers have been burned to the edge of the cliff by the heat, and once they take a step back, they will face an abyss and no longer be able to climb up.

Coach Frank is the most excited, even if he has been tireless in the past few days to tell the players the importance of this game, in fact, there is no need for the coach to say, Paul George, David West and other veterans also know what this game means, no team can reverse in the situation of 0-3 down, at least this miracle they can't do in the eighth place in the East, if they want to win, they can only do this one, if this one loses, even if the series is not over in theory, but for most people, it has ended early.

On the Heat side, Coach Spo also gathered everyone together: "You can also see that our opponents and their fans are very fanatical, their fighting spirit is unimaginable, they are determined to win this victory, and what we have to do is to dash their hopes!" Guys, give all your strength to win this victory, and then, let's challenge the bulls! ”

"Good!" The Heat generals are also quite scrappy.

There is a well-known person on the sideline commentary desk, looking at the state of the players of the two teams, and secretly said: "These two teams look very combative, while trying their best to solve the battle and win the game, they will fight to the death and bounce back to win the next game, this game will be much better, in addition, that guy is still playing the playoffs for the first time, I don't know if it will play abnormally?" ”

This person is Reggie Miller. (To be continued)
