Chapter 317: Gradually Clear

The situation in the top half of the West was expected by everyone, but no one could have guessed the outcome of the game in the bottom half of the West. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The second-placed Hornets in the West faced the third-ranked Spurs in the West, and the two teams played 3-3 in the first six games, which means they must go through a tie-break to determine the last place in the West.

Looking back on the past 6 games, both teams have actually implemented a policy, that is, to fight at home!

G1, the Hornets faced the Spurs at home in New Orleans, and the game was extremely difficult from the beginning of the first quarter until the end of the first half, and the scores of the two teams were extremely close.

At the start of the third quarter, the Hornets' David West hit consecutive shots to pull away the score and finally establish a lead for the team and win the game.

At 82:101, the Hornets go first.

G2, still held in New Orleans, this game is almost a copy of G2, and the first half of the game, the two teams also played hard.

It wasn't until the start of the third quarter that Chris Paul and Peja Stojakovic dominated the court together, scoring 13 and 12 points respectively to establish an 18-point lead in the third quarter and eventually lead the team to victory.

At 84:102, the Hornets scored another game to lead the Spurs 2:0.

Until this moment, all the pundits have decided that this year will be the season of the rising dark horses, and the Hornets and Hawks are examples of this.

G3, the two teams moved to San Antonio, the development of history, is always strikingly similar, the two teams in the first half of the game is still a picture of you and me, alternate with each other to lead, the score is still not opened.

But in the second half, someone immediately drew a knife, but this time, it was Tony Parker and Tim Duncan of the Spurs who stepped up, and the two teamed up to score 20 points in a single quarter, helping the Spurs establish a lead of more than 7 points in this quarter, and again widened the gap in the final quarter.

At 99:110, the Spurs pulled one back at home.

G4, this time the treacherous Spurs uneasy routine came out, the two teams were still in a stalemate in the first quarter, and in the second quarter, the Spurs suddenly came to power, and the GDP combination broke out at the same time, ending the first half of the game with an 11-point single-quarter lead.

The Hornets were knocked unconscious, and as a result, they fell behind by 11 points in the third quarter, and the fourth quarter had already entered garbage time, although the Hornets' bench also recovered a little point in the final quarter, but it was meaningless for the big picture.

At 80:100, the Spurs equalized the score.

Experts from all walks of life were completely dumbfounded, they were now much more cautious, and they no longer dared to predict casually.

G5, the two teams returned to New Orleans again, but the Hornets were in a self-immovable posture.

In the first two quarters, the two teams were still tied, and in the third quarter, the Hornets set off an offensive climax, CP3 12+3+2 in a single quarter, David West also contributed 8+6+2, a single quarter of 17 points better than the opponent, basically locked the win of the game, and the Hornets did not give the opponent any chance in the fourth quarter, and won the game smoothly.

At 79:101, the Hornets defeated the Spurs at home and won Tianwang Mountain.

G6, the Spurs have no way back, they must win their home court when they return to San Antonio, the process of the game is completely different from the first 5 games, GDP in the first quarter of the game is full of firepower, completely suppressed the Hornets, and gained a 12-point lead in a single quarter.

In the ensuing game, although the Hornets also narrowed the gap to within 7 points at one point, the more experienced Spurs still held their lead in the second half and finally won the opponent.

At 80:99, the Spurs won the battle of life and death, and the total score came to 3:3.

The G7 will be played on May 19, which means that they will have four days to rest well to deal with this life-and-death battle.

Will it be the old Spurs who make it to the division finals again, or will the young Paul touch the floor of the Western Conference for the first time in his career?

Judging from the record in this round, the Hornets still have a home court advantage that is more advantageous. But in the face of a win-win qualifying match, no one can say which side will win in the end.

After talking about the West, let's take a look at the East, and the bottom half of the bracket goes without saying, the winner belongs to the youthful and invincible Atlanta Hawks, who locked a place in the East Final 4:2.

The Boston Celtics in the first half of the game were entangled with the Orlando Magic, and interestingly, in the first round, they also advanced with a score of 4:3.

Interestingly, there are striking similarities between the top half of the East and the bottom half of the West.

Also as of G6, it was 3:3, and they also won the home field and lost all the away, except for the lower score, the two teams basically copied the Western Hornets VS Spurs drama played a little earlier:

G1, 72:76, Celtic came out on top.

G2, 78:89, Celtics extend lead.

According to the usual practice, the vast number of media people who are like grass on the wall once again stood up and infinitely touted the power of Lukai BIG3.

However, immediately afterward, the face-slapping incident recurred:

G3, 84:110, Magic won their first home court.

G4, 77:90, Magic continue to defend their home court.

Now the problem is complicated, the two teams are 2:2 again, and the media who were slapped in the face have closed their mouths, and now their unified rhetoric is: The strength of the two teams is very close, and the Magic team is underestimated!

G5, the two teams returned to Boston, and this time, the Celtics did not lose their Tianwang Mountain. At 90:96, Kate took the lead to get the match point.

G6, the Magic also did not give up hope, 69:74, under a suffocating defensive battle, Orlando had the last laugh, they won their home court, and the score was 3:3.

The two teams will play a tiebreaker in Boston on May 18, and no one can pack a ticket to see who will advance to the Eastern Conference finals.

Compared with the seven-tie battle in the west, the Hawks are naturally more concerned about this focus battle in the east.

The players also discussed their opponents for the next round.

Mike Bibby said: "I really didn't expect it to be the Celtics who would play two tie-breaks in a row, I thought they would sweep the cut. ”

Ruan Erniu nodded and said: "That's right, the first round of grabbing seven is obviously because the Celtics are relatively slow and have not entered the state, and the second round of grabbing seven is the embodiment of the strength of the Magic team." Orlando is stronger than we thought, and if they end up in the East Finals, we can't take it lightly. ”

Eclipse said: "If we meet Orlando, we should have an advantage, right? After all, we have a 3-1 lead in the regular season. ”

"Not necessarily, the regular season and the playoffs are two different things. ”

Ruan Erniu also said affirmatively: "Yes, just think about it, we will know, are we still the same team as the Hawks in the regular season?"

Think about it, if the Magic had done the Celtics, would they still be the Magic in the regular season? Joe was right, we have to get up to 120,000 points, and the playoffs are a battlefield to win or go home!"

has reached the Eastern Conference Finals, and to say that he has no idea about the championship is not pretending, but hypocrisy.

The Hawks are all men with strong blood, and naturally they will not show weakness, in their words: "No matter who makes the final cut, we will win the Eastern Conference championship!"
