At the moment, the NBA series is basically out of the blue, with the Lakers leading the Rockets 3-0, the Spurs leading the Thunder 2-1, the Pacers leading the Wizards 2-1, and the Heat leading the Nets 2-1. FOX Sports predicted the division finals in the East and West Divisions.

Indiana Pacers vs. Miami Heat in the East and Los Angeles Lakers vs. San Antonio Spurs in the West.

Although Durant of the Thunder team said that he was very dismissive of this prediction, it is obvious that the Thunder team can't stop the Spurs, and it's not that he can stop it if he wants to, and he can change it if he wants to.

The Spurs' stamina and team motor have fully begun to exert their strength, and they are turning faster and faster.

One of the extremes of real team basketball is to teach the Thunder team, who rely too heavily on both sides, how to play basketball.

Because basically, you can see that the Spurs have won all of them, and the playing time of the whole team is extremely average, the highest is Leonard, but it is only 31+ minutes. In addition to him, there was a Duncan for 30+ minutes, and then, the Spurs didn't even have a player who averaged more than 30+ appearances per game.

This time is allotted to an artistic level.

It means that everyone in the Spurs team is immediate, and there is not much distinction between starters and substitutes.

This is extremely rare even in the history of the NBA.

The 2014 playoffs for the Spurs were a pinnacle of team basketball, no joke.

On the finals stage, they can beat the Heat team by an average of 14~15 points, and they are worthy of the ultimate honor of that year's championship.

This year, no superstar basketball can stop them.

Even if their core is already dying.

But now the Lakers have to get the last game of the Rockets first, and this game has been dominated by the Los Angeles Lakers since the first quarter, full of offensive energy. It seems that all the grievances of the last game are about to erupt. Bryant's estimate is fine, and the league doesn't plan to say anything about "guaranteeing" the Rockets to advance, they're just a way to extend the series. Since the Rockets are completely "unsupportable", there is no need to continue, the whistle has regained its balance and returned to a normal playoff level.

And the fact that the whistle has become a normal playoff level is equivalent to "invisibly" weakening the Rockets.

Especially James, who is still the "King of Porcelain". Harden.

Kobe Bryant held back a lot of gas in the last game, so as soon as he came up, he went all out to defend Harden and attack and defend Harden, this kind of retaliatory play made Harden's original spirit completely exploded, and he shot 0 of 4 in the first quarter, and there was no breakthrough, and all of them were three-point shots. Kobe Bryant scored 14 points in a single quarter, which can be called a comprehensive suppression of offense and defense. That's not all, the rest of the Lakers are also holding up a breath to "vent" in this game. Meeks and Famar both contributed three points. And because the Lakers' outside line is in full bloom, forcing the Rockets' defensive line to move outward, which gives the Lakers a lot of opportunities inside. Tang Qian frequently blocked and dismantled in the high position, and then attacked down, and he scored 9 points in this quarter. In a single quarter, the Lakers scored a full 41 points in a single quarter. It's definitely a strong quarter-by-quarter score, especially in the playoffs.

What about Team Rocket? The game completely lost the consciousness of being a playoff team, and the resistance was weak, which was no different from the original space-time rocket team that Tang Qian knew. The key battle, the battle of life and death, will be soft and will be defeated. Originally, there was only one soft James. Harden, and now Howard Warcraft has also been added. The Rockets' "modern combination" was completely lost, and with the despair of history, there was not much excitement at the Toyota Center from the beginning to the end of the first quarter.

No matter how angry and shouted McHale, it was useless, and the morale of Team Rocket had collapsed.

The core is not in the state, and you want to rely on several characters to win? Or the playoffs? This situation is all too rare, let alone a team like the Rockets this season, which focuses on "superstar basketball". Without a superstar to play, losing is almost ironclad.

In the second quarter, the Lakers were even more brutal, and the players, including the bench, all felt excellent. Young made 3 of 3 three-pointers, and Kobe Bryant continued to bombard James indiscriminately. Harden, under his offense and defense, the No. 13 of the Rockets, was completely "invisible". Except for flying a few kites on the outside, even the desire to break through gradually disappeared. Originally, Harden couldn't play the key battles and elimination battles, and now the opponent is still Kobe Bryant, who is at the peak of his all-round life. The end can be imagined.

At halftime, Kobe Bryant dunked 5 dunks as an outside lineman! This ratio is a high shot ratio even for interior players. This shows what Harden has become when he was broken through by No. 24 on the defensive end.

Kobe Bryant is also very "trustworthy", he said before the game that he would try to kill the inside of the Rockets in this game to see if the referee gave a whistle. At halftime, he scored as many as 35 points! There were as many as 12 free throws! And not a single penalty missed! However, unlike Harden's "touching porcelain", Kobe Bryant's every ball is a real breakthrough, a real kill, and Howard quickly fell into the "foul quagmire" like the Lakers in the last game because he was not focused.

There was very little playing time in the first half, less than 12 minutes.

This allows the Rockets to use Asik and Terrence on the inside. Jones resists, this kind of lineup wants to resist the Lakers' twin towers, whether it is offense or defense, it is a bit almost fantasy. There is Gasol in the position, there is Tang Qian in blocking and cutting runs, and the opponent has not much ability to attack, and the Lakers' interior line has completely blown up the Rockets' interior line.

You look at the score in the first half, the score difference, it's going to be horrible.

The Lakers scored 40+ points in the second half and scored 85 points in the half, which was already breaking the record of 83 points set by the Dallas Mavericks in the 2003 playoffs. However, the half-court scoring record for the entire playoffs was a little short, and that belonged to the Bucks in 1978, which was set on April 24, and they scored a total of 87 points in the second half, two more than the Lakers made tonight. The Rockets scored a pitiful 39 points in the half, shooting less than 30% overall, and were led by the Los Angeles Lakers by as many as 46 points at halftime!

Originally, there was no suspense at all, but at this time, McHale made a strange move and gave up all defense, anyway, Howard couldn't play because of foul trouble, so it was better to ...... Let's play one big and four small. It is said that there are one big and four small, but the tallest is Parsons, and all five people on the court have the ability to shoot 3-point shots. This wave took advantage of the Lakers' laxity to catch up with a lot of score differences, and played a wave of climaxes. It's a pity that when the Lakers reintroduced the main players, they contained the Houston Rockets' counterattack in time. Nash threaded the needle, and the entire Lakers team played like the wind, except for Gasol, the rest of the Lakers players scored a lot of points.

At the end of the single quarter, the score difference, which had been narrowed to within 20 points, expanded again, 115-89, even if the Rockets relied on three-pointers to score 50 points in a single quarter, it was useless. With a 26-point deficit, the series entered the fourth quarter of Game 4.

So far, the Rockets' lowest-scoring team is Howard, who only has a measly 6-pointer and shoots less than 25% from the field, and he doesn't have much stats on the defensive end because of foul problems. Secondly, there is Harden. I don't know what happened to him, but when the Rockets were crazy on a counterattack in the third quarter, he made 6 three-pointers and only hit 1. On top of that, there were plenty of turnovers and defensive leaks. This kind of "inner demon" is estimated to be no less inferior than Tang Qian, and even more victorious.

On the Internet, fans have ridiculed and scolded Harden's performance.

Naturally, it is non-Rockets fans who ridicule, and it is naturally Rockets home team fans who scold.

This is decided by different positions.

In fact, this has been there for a long time, Harden, who was still a substitute in the finals that year, could score close to 17+ points in the regular season, and the shooting rate was even more terrible 49.1% + 39% + 84.6%, if it wasn't for the free throw handicap, it is estimated that he could enter the "180 Club". So he rightfully won that year's SMOY, or Best Sixth Man award. In the playoffs, he also continued his good performance, still exceeding the average of 16+ points per game, and his shooting rate also reached 43.5%+41%+85.7%, which can be said to be no less than the regular season. But in the finals, he fell a lot overall, averaging only 12+ points per game, and the overall shooting rate also slipped wildly, leaving only 37.5% + 31.8% + 79.2%. Three of the five single-digit scoring games were played, with the lowest score of 5.

After leading the team alone last year, he only shot 7-of-22 from the field and shot 31.8 percent from the field, a 12-percentage point drop from his regular season. As I said before, for stars, especially the main scoring stars, if they fall by more than 5%, even if they are a good limit, if they fall by more than 10%, even if they are successful in defense, if they fall by more than 10%, it is the so-called strangulation. Because since he is a person who can be the main scorer, it is basically impossible to have the possibility of being completely frozen, which is the fantasy of ball blindness and keyboard warriors. How to limit to the greatest extent is the key to defense. Harden has slipped to 12% in one go, who else can blame him if he doesn't blame himself for his malfunction?

The previous game has already been stated, the Rockets No. 13, the playoffs, can be called everywhere "black spots that drop the chain".

Besides, his performance this season in the original time and space was "failing", and now that he has played like this and is lost, Tang Qian doesn't feel so unusual. In the original time and space when the Rockets won, it was Harden's mistake that Jeremy Lin made a key scramble to protect the ball and then broke through and passed out, so that the Rockets could empty the three-point Troy. Daniels made a comeback. Isn't this pot also what Harden should carry? In short, before he proves himself in the playoffs, it will be difficult for him to really open the door of the supergiant, no, the quasi-supergiant.

Pseudo-superstars will be with them for a lifetime.

However, Harden is still young, and he still has a chance to change his fate, but it is still the same sentence, not now, not this season, far from it.

In the final quarter, the Rockets looked like they were going to make a final fight, but the Lakers didn't give them that chance.

The suffocation of the last game made the Lakers have a desire to retaliate, so the Lakers did not relax in the fourth quarter, and Kobe's defense of Harden was simply to the extent of a "conjoined baby". Regardless of whether Harden has the ball or not, the Lakers No. 24 will be "stalking" and "never leaving" tonight. This kind of Kobe, of course, Harden didn't have a chance to understand before, because when he entered the league, Kobe Bryant was no longer able to continue this 48 minutes of high-intensity offense and defense. You can only do this at a critical moment. The difference is like a world of difference.

Harden made 3 more mistakes in a single quarter, which directly allowed Kobe Bryant to score 7 points, and the Rockets completely collapsed, and there was no confidence and motivation to win and turn the game around. At the end of the 5 minutes left, both sides changed their main forces, and the Lakers only left one Tang Qian on the court, which was D'Antoni's "benefit" to Tang Qian. Because he whispered to the latter, he also watched ESPN's group of fools unhappy, and hoped that the latter would brush up more data in the last 5 minutes of this game, and stimulate the group of data-oriented fools, oh, no, it's a keyboard warrior, right?

D'Antoni's way of driving people is definitely much stronger than his predecessor Brown, just such a small change, and it will not affect the result of the game at all, and you can enhance the "master-apprentice relationship" with Tang Qian, let him release a handful, brush a handful, how is it not good? Although D'Antoni is not a "famous coach" or a "champion coach", his ability is still the best among ordinary managers.

There is no need to doubt this.

Kobe Bryant has already scored the highest score in this year's playoffs in this game, 47 points, which is enough, after all, after the "Four Heavenly Kings" have returned, after all, Steve Bryant. With Nash in full control of the ball, his shots will be slightly reduced, which is normal. Therefore, the previous high was 40 points in the fourth game of the Mavericks. No. 24 certainly likes to score and shoot, but in this last year, the last season, his more desire is to win! Keep winning! Keep winning! And then all the way to Larry. O'Brien Cup! You can stop!

Seeing that he was doomed to victory, destined to sweep, and destined to enter the long-lost Western Conference Finals, Kobe Bryant also patted Tang Qian's shoulder with a smile and said, "Okay!" The coach has spoken, you just go and brush it, I've already killed the 'first center', you should completely overwhelm the so-called 'first center', right? Come on! ”

Seeing that Kobe Bryant and D'Antoni said so, Tang Qian no longer hesitated, nodded and walked on the field to brush the data.

Although there is no anger in this game, but the pity is that the Rocket team has a "Warcraft", as long as there is a team with this "Warcraft", Tang Qian can easily complete the state outbreak, so that the "heart demon" or something, there is no need to think about it for the time being. And now on the court, the Rockets are also a full bench lineup, with a look of disarming and resigning their fate, and their morale is low to a certain point, Tang Qian just took the opportunity to exert his power, grabbed the rebound in the front court and shot, and then had no intention of passing it out.

Five minutes later, the game was over, and the Lakers beat the Rockets by 40 points 145-105! 40 points! That's more than the Spurs' biggest single-game deficit of 35 points in this year's playoffs! In the whole game, Kobe Bryant got 45 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, Gasol got 21 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, Nash got 14 points, 24 assists and 1 steal, and 24 assists in a single game in the playoffs also broke Nash's own personal playoff assist record in the 4th game of the first round against the Lakers on April 29, 2007, 23 times! That's a big milestone! And 24 assists in a single game, which is also the highest number of assists in a single playoff game since the 80s! Tied legendary point guard John Brown. Stockton 1988 and Elwin. Johnson set a playoff single-game assist record in 1984!

In other words, the NBA playoffs single-game assist record has now changed from the original 2 people to 3 people only.

Nash became one of the single-game assist champions in the playoffs.

At the same time, Tang Qian cut down 30 points, 25 rebounds, 6 blocks and 1 assist. In the last 5 minutes of scoring, he scored nearly a dozen points, and the block number was "only" 6 because the Rockets didn't play much inside and basket tonight, mainly concentrated outside the middle and long range.

On the Rockets side, Harden and Howard both scored extremely low, one just 11 points, one less than 10, and the shooting rate was even more unbearable, Howard still had more than 2 percent, and Harden fell directly to more than 1 percent, or how many or a few free throws, it is estimated that his playoff score will not be able to go up doubles again.

The last game of the "Modern Combination" was completely sluggish, which surprised countless fans, and at the same time, the talk about the Lakers' first score and first center finally began to erupt in a concentrated manner.

Won, swept, the next step is the Western Conference Finals, one round away from the finals, and a maximum of 14 games from the O'Brien Cup!

No. 24 looked at the fans who were disappointed and dispersed at the Toyota Center, and said silently in his heart.
