For James, the regular season in the past two seasons has been a new high in his career, and if it weren't for Ruan Erniu and the Atlanta Hawks in front of him, maybe he would be in a much better situation, and maybe he could win one or two MVP trophies.

But the cruel reality is that he was repeatedly suppressed by Ruan Erniu in the game, and in the playoffs this season, his evaluation was directly classified as a spark.

But there is still no way, the winner is the king, the loser is the loser, and no one wants to listen to the excuses of the loser's justification.

If it was just a loss in the game, but the gossip about his mother further hurt James's self-esteem.

James has always understood that his mother is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but if it wasn't for his mother who pulled him up, Emperor Zhan would not have been able to achieve today's results.

The son is not ugly, Gloria's past and future need to be covered up by James's glorious image, which is the fate of LeBron James.

The gossip will spread for a long time, is the truth important to the people who eat melons?

They just need a talking point, and as for the authenticity of this talking about the capital itself, it doesn't matter at all.

In any case, LeBron James has been eliminated, so his story can be temporarily over, and the big stage of the NBA belongs to those who are still fighting.

The finals of the East and West have officially begun, and the situation in the West will not affect the East for the time being, and for the Hawks, their opponent in the East may be the one they most hope to meet.

Although the Magic was also one of the seven opponents that the Hawks did not sweep in the regular season, when the Hawks did meet the Magic in the Eastern Conference Finals, Atlanta was secretly happy.

Against the Magic, the Hawks always have a natural advantage.

As long as Erniu can strangle the monster, can Orlando still find a second defensive hub and the most stable offensive endpoint?

The Eastern Conference finals were also as expected by the Hawks, G1, G2, and the Hawks sat at home, basically suppressing from beginning to end, leaving the Magic team with no chance to fight back.

G3 flew to Orlando, and the Magic team, which made it all the way to the Eastern Conference finals, was naturally not willing to admit defeat.

They used three-pointers to open up the score gap more than once, but the Atlantans, who had experienced a bloody battle in the semifinals, showed tenacity enough to always chase back the score again and again.

At the last moment, Erniu won a series of low-post singles Howard, which ended the game.

At 3:0, the Eagles have already got the match point, and it seems that even the sweep to advance has become close at hand.

The plot development of the Eastern Conference once again exceeded the expectations of various media, and judging from the second round game against the Celtics, the Hawks are clearly going downhill.

But as soon as they arrived at the Eastern Conference Finals stage, they immediately regained the strength of the 75-win team, and almost swept away the leaves with the momentum of the autumn wind, crushing the Magic team.

After the first three games of the Eastern Conference finals, many fans feel that the Celtics are underestimated.

They may be the best team in the East other than the Hawks, but their poor regular season record due to the consideration of saving energy has forced them to have the ultimate matchup with the Hawks in advance.

There is no harm if there is no comparison, and Ruan Erniu's complete abuse of the Sparks in the playoffs has made the whole rice balls say that Howard can certainly replace James alone, but Kraft Nguyen has opened up the gap with them, and they are not a level player.

No matter how great the regular season is, there is still no real playoffs to come, whether it is a mule or a horse, it has to be pulled out and yo-yo!

……

"What do you guys think?" said Stern at a regular meeting of the NBA's top management, analyzing and planning the current situation of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Adam Shaw immediately said: "You can't just let the game end like this, even if the two teams are so different, but the Eagles win too easily, which makes the game uninteresting." ”

Tan Huimin (Mark Tatum) on the side said: "So to what extent should we intervene? At present, even if G4, we gave the referee a hint that G5 will return to Atlanta, and there will be no more suspense about the Eastern Conference championship." ”

Adam Xiao Hua smiled: "If the timing is right, we can drag the game into a tie-break and let them decide the winner for themselves, which is also the norm. ”

Tan Huimin shook his head and said: "Then the discount that G5 wants to give Orlando is too big, will it affect the fair image of the alliance?"

Adam Xiao Hua still wanted to speak, but Chairman Stern waved his hand directly and said: "Don't worry about G5 first, G4 Magic wins first, and then there is G5 to speak of." ”

……

On May 24, 2010, the Eagles continued their G4 match against the Magic in Orlando after a big win over the home team in G3.

Orlando, who trailed 3-0, made changes in the G4 starters, with JJ Redick appearing on the Magic's starting lineup, while Matt Barnes, who has been dedicated to guarding Embarnes in the past few games, returned to the bench.

Stan Van Gundy's intentions are obvious, he is going to fight hard!

It's no wonder that they are all 3:0 behind, and they still want to rely on defense to lock up Atlantans, which in itself seems unrealistic.

In the past three games, Barnes has done a relatively good job of restricting Embarrassment, but the Hawks' outside attack points are not only embarrassed, Salmons's all-out outburst, Jamal Crawford is also uncontrollable, plus Claw Machine, Bibby, Novak and others, the Hawks' outside attack points are too rich, and once the firepower configuration is activated, it is far beyond the imagination of Magic.

It's true that his shooting percentage has dropped, but he has already scored one triple-double and two quasi-triple-doubles in the series, and with him and Salmons teaming up to limit Vince Carter on the defensive end, it can be said that the Hawks have gained strategic initiative.

The spark was strangled, Carter was blocked, and it didn't seem strange that the Magic lost three games in a row and came to the brink of the Eastern Conference finals just by relying on the brutality and long-range shooting of Birdson (Jamil Nelson) and Lewis.

With the referee's whistle, G4Z officially started.

But at the beginning of the first quarter of the game, Ruan Erniu ate two fouls in a row on the defensive end, the first foul was irrefutable, Erniu forced a dunk on the side of the basket in order to prevent the sparks, so he directly pulled him down;

But if you just have the slightest physical contact and you are called for a defensive foul, then the playoffs will not be able to go on at all.

Ruan Erniu was forced to be replaced early, anyway, the Eagles have no shortage of meat shields, Pachulia can go up, and when no one is available, neither is Joe Smith......

Woodson's train of thought was stuck in the last second, and Zaza Pachuria, who had just been on the switch for less than a minute, also committed two fouls.

If Egghead doesn't understand at this moment, then he will be in vain, and it is obvious that the league does not want the East Final to end so soon, so the referee's intervention came.

But even so, the Hawks relied on more consistent shooting in the first quarter, only trailing the opponent by 5 points at 26:31, while the free throw ratio between the two sides was 4:16, with the visitors in front and the home team behind.

The subsequent games continued almost all the preset scripts.

The Hawks are not tenacious, but the Magic, who have the home court advantage, can easily get free throws as soon as they strengthen the breakthrough or hit the low post.

Atlanta once made a wonderful comeback in the third quarter, using offensive and defensive transitions to tie the score and exceed, but after the final quarter of the game, when Ruan Erniu, Salmons, and Pachulia were sent off one after another, and Lunar Eclipse and Birdman were fouled 4 times at the same time, the game still irreversibly fell to the side of the home team.

At 96:93, the Atlantans fought until the last minute, but it was a pity that Rashad Lewis cashed in his 100 million yuan value at the critical moment, with four consecutive stable free throws and an accurate bottom corner three-pointer, and finally helped the team win the G4 that delayed death.

The Hawks had an internal meeting in the locker room early, and in the interviews that followed, everyone kept silent about the referees, only emphasizing that they would win the entire series in G5 and win the Eastern Conference in the 09-10 season.

It's not the first time the Hawks have played the playoffs, and they know exactly what to do at this time, and instead of complaining about the referees, it's better to be well-behaved and be a quiet champion!

In the post-game press conference, Woodson kept a low profile throughout the whole process, only slightly mentioning the Hawks' shortcomings in this game, and ended his speech, and in an interview with the media, Woodson finally said: "If the 75-win team fails to win the Eastern Conference championship, it will be the biggest joke." ”

This is obviously a sick sentence, because there is no subject in this sentence, and who is going to be the joke?

Stan Van Gundy was also questioned by reporters from Atalanta at the press conference, and when asked about the 14 more free throws than the Hawks, Van Gundy said strongly: "It's the referee's job, I'm only responsible for leading the team to win!"

3:1, the Magic pulled one back at home, and they still have a chance to advance to the finals, but the probability is still surprisingly small.

Two days later, the Magic and Hawks will move to Atlanta for a G5 battle.

At Ruan Erniu's home, after dinner, after Dr. Han urged Eddie to study, he came to Erniu's side and asked, "Will the alliance hack you?"

Ruan Erniu, who was sitting on the sofa while watching rice dramas, while lifting dumbbells, immediately put down the dumbbells and picked up Han Meimei beside her, after Dr. Han gasped, Erniu kissed her heavily, put her head on her developed chest muscles and said: "If you want to be black, I'm afraid it is very likely to be black directly to grab seven, however, the key is to look at our own performance, the controversy in G4 is not small at all, and the top level of the alliance is also under pressure, so I still think we have a higher chance of winning in G5."

Of course, basketball is round, and anything can happen. ”

Ruan Erniu's personal mentality can basically represent the mentality of the Hawks at this time, as the holder of the 75-win team, the opening season winning streak and the league's longest winning streak, they have enough confidence to face all challenges, coupled with the entanglement with Green Kai in the second round not long ago, it makes the Eagles' psychological advantage quite strong.

However, the Orlanders who escaped from death were also not without gains, at least they survived, although there are still no teams in the league that are 3-0 down and are overturned, but the Magic have a chance to take the game one step further.

For the Magic, if they win one more game, they have a chance to drag the game back to Orlando, and at that point, the game will be a different story entirely.

The G5 is still back at the Philips Center.

The Eagles starting line-up remains unchanged:

C Ruan Er Niu

PF Josh Smith

S.F. John Salmons

SG Joe Johnson

PG Goran Dragic

And the Magic also continued their G4 debut:

C Dwight Howard

PF Rashad Lewis

SF Vince Carter

SG JJ Reddick

P.G. Jamil Nelson

Before the start of the game, Ruan Erniu deliberately came to the technical table to play a magnesium powder show, which is indeed James's original, but Erniu has become very comfortable playing now.

Even though this behavior was described by many Zhan Mi as plagiarism, Ruan Erniu still went his own way.

In Erniu's view, many things originally started with imitation, since this domineering action James did not register intellectual property rights, so why can't he use it directly.

For example, high-speed rail was not originally born in the Celestial Empire, but according to the railway infrastructure that has been under construction, in recent years, the Celestial Empire's high-speed rail technology has surpassed the world, and even according to the standards of the Celestial Empire, only the Celestial Empire has a real high-speed rail on this earth.

What the?

The Shinkansen is very fast?

I'm sorry, but in the Celestial Empire, people call the speed of the Shinkansen bullet trains!

The original owner may not be the owner, the owner may not be able to become the permanent owner, the flying magnesium powder shows one thing, the strong can have privileges!

Nguyen Er Niu then also defeated Dwight Howard in the jump ball, although the two bulls have almost exploded in the past few games, but interestingly, it was in the jump ball session, which was actually the first time that the Celestial Dynasty people won the spark in this round of the series.

On the offensive end of the Hawks, Salmons rarely broke through Carter's defense directly after receiving a pass from Embarrassment, and after attracting sparks in the air, he sent the ball to Ruan Erniu's hands.

There was no one around Erniu to guard at all, and the Celestial Empire people held the ball in both hands, jumped high, and after a flat basket that pulled mountains and rivers and dunked violently, the Eagles successfully got the first point after the opening.

On the offensive end of the Magic end, after Nguyen Erniu blocked Bird Sen's breakthrough layup in the front, the ball flew into the hands of the claw machine.

The Slovenian immediately burst forward with the ball, but in the process of making a layup, he was blocked by Lewis, but Salmons was quick to catch the ball as it flew off the sideline.

When he got the basketball from the lunar eclipse inserted in the back, he didn't choose to do it brutely, but played a bold horizontal pass, and the ball successfully reached the hands of Ruan Erniu in the top arc position.

As soon as the spark was withdrawn to the free throw line, he immediately reflexively pounced. Ruan Erniu didn't hesitate at all, and directly pulled out his hand after receiving the ball.

"Brush!"

Ball in!

After that, the first quarter of the game completely became Ruan Erniu's show, tonight's Celestial Empire people are selfish enough or responsible, anyway, the other players of the Hawks only got a total of 5 shots in a single quarter, but Erniu threw 18 of them alone.

Mid-range shooting, layups, dunks, three-pointers, Ruan Erniu's performance in the first quarter seemed to be an omnipotent superman, and he almost single-handedly made the game lose any suspense.

The Celestial Empire shot 15-of-18 in the first quarter, including 5-of-6 three-pointers, plus 3-of-3 free throws.

Ruan Erniu's score in a single quarter of the playoffs reached a terrifying 38 points!

This is an unprecedented record!

At the top of the NBA's playoff single-quarter scoring list is "The Sleeper" Srippy Floyd's 29 points in a single quarter.

In 1987, the awakened Floyd led the Warriors to the Western Conference Finals, facing the Lakers led by Magic, in the first three losses, Floyd scored 29 points in a single quarter in G4, scoring 51 points in the whole game, avoiding the fate of the team being swept out.

From 1987 to 2010, a full 23 years have passed, Ruan Erniu not only increased the score in a single quarter of the playoffs to 30+, but also directly got rid of the first 9 points, which is almost an impossible task in the playoffs with super high defensive intensity.

At 24:42, in fact, G5 has already decided the winner from the moment the game starts, but the audience will have the privilege of seeing the birth of a new playoff record.

Looking at the frustration on the faces of the Magic players, it is not difficult to guess that there is no suspense about the outcome of the game.

If there was one last trace of luck before the first quarter of G5, then after a wave of ruthless destruction by G5 Ruan Erniu, no Magic player will look forward to tonight's game.

Ruan Erniu, who is in an explosive state, is too terrifying, and when his mobility ability and desire to score are fully mobilized, it is already difficult for a strong man to arrange sparks to defend him.

Fans always have a misunderstanding, always think that the higher the height, the better, yes, only height can not be cultivated, skills are often able to be exercised, but in fact, once the misalignment occurs, short players are often able to play tall players in various ways.

Erniu can resist sparks in various ways on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, sparks have completely become Erniu's target, and there is no reason for all kinds of face shots.

The second quarter of the game was in a state of confusion, Woodson put Ruan Er Niu back on the court in the middle of the second quarter, and Er Niu, who had just come on the court, immediately entered the offensive state of a hungry tiger.

Assault, low back hit, and violent deduction from the next person......

Although it was not as brilliant as the first quarter of the game, Erniu's offensive firepower was still trembling.

At 42:68, the magic of the away game was still barely resisting, but the huge score gap still made the game seem no suspense.

Probably there is only one suspense for the constantly laughing audience, that is, Ruan Erniu can break the playoff single-game scoring record of 64 points set by himself, and after surpassing Jordan, like the Hawks occupy the first and second places in the best record, and at the same time occupy the first and second places in the playoffs single-game scores.

Nguyen Er Niu, who scored 50 points at halftime, still has the possibility, and as long as he scores more than 14 points in the second half, he will set a new record.
