Chapter 177, advance to the second round
Although the other Pistons Pension Clubs are experienced, they are much worse in strength! James' average of 32 points per game led the Cavaliers to sweep the Pistons, although he opened the defensive net in the third game to trap the Cavaliers, but James knocked the Pistons to the ground with a quasi-triple-double result, and the resistance was weak, which also made the management of the Pistons determined to tear down and rebuild!
And the Hawks and the Heat are in full swing, although the Flash is unstoppable, but it is difficult to stand alone, the first game was overturned by the Hawks, although the score difference is not big, but the Heat scored a heart, only 64 points became the lowest score in the league this season, the tacit cooperation of the Hawks five people, so that Wade exhausted all his efforts to grab a victory turned into ashes, so you win a game, I win a game, the scores of the two teams alternately rise! Many media believe that it would be good if the Heat led by Wade could drag the Hawks into a tiebreaker, but no one is optimistic about the victory of the Heat.
The series between the Magic and the 76ers also led the 76ers with a score of 2-2, although the first game of the Magic relied on excellent play to score 31 points and 16 rebounds, leading the Magic all the way to lead the 76ers, but the little AI Iguodala led the 76ers to chase after it, and finally invested a winning goal in the fourth quarter to successfully reverse the Magic, making the Magic's lead a joke, although the second meeting between the two teams Although the Magic was deeply troubled by fouls, the other Magic players played well, Veteran Andre Miller struggled with 30 points to help the 76ers win.
Back to the 76ers' home court! Although the Monster once again scored 36 points and 11 rebounds, it couldn't stand the 76ers to play fully, and the magic was embarrassed, and the quasi-lore won the first win at home. Daelhampo hit a 14.8-second shot to tie the score at 81, and after the Magic were in a desperate situation, Tekoglou stepped up and hit a three-pointer with 1.4 seconds left before the end to make the Magic invincible, pulling the big score back to 2-2, and their fifth game was on the 29th! Whoever wins the game first will win the match point!
The defending champions, who only made efforts in the second half of the season, entered a stalemate with the Bulls led by the champion Rose, Rose scored 36 points and 11 assists in his playoff debut, and the two teams were entangled until the fourth quarter, Pierce shot from mid-range with 2.6 seconds left in regular time, and Noah pounced to block, but fouled.
"Truth" walked to the free throw line, hit the first free throw, but the second free throw smashed into the front of the basket, bounced, touched the inside edge of the basket, and finally jumped out of the hoop. The Celtics regretted losing the lead and Brad Miller missed a three-pointer from beyond the arc and the two teams went into overtime.
The Bulls didn't die and played more aggressively in overtime. With 50.5 seconds left in the game, Tyrus Thomas hit a mid-range shot to give the Bulls a 105-103 lead. The Celtics were unlucky, and Davis' layup went off the basket. After that, the Bulls missed the shot and the Celtics still had a chance to tie it, but Pierce had a block with 3.7 seconds left in the game. In the final moments, Ray Allen missed a shot and failed to tie the score, and the Celtics lost regrettably.
The Celtics, who lost their home-court advantage in the second game, were in a slump, and Garnett's injury and departure were even worse, but Ray Allen's two three-pointers at critical moments kept the Celtics' victory spark, although the Bulls' Gordon scored 42 points, but Ray Allen's extremely accurate three-point shot, every knife was stuck in the back of the Bulls' throat, With 25.3 seconds left in the game, Ray Allen hit a three-point shot, and the Celtics took the lead 115-113, but the crazy Gordon hit a shot in 12.3 seconds to tie the score, but the calm Ray Allen stepped forward and hit a three-point shot again with 2 seconds left in the game, making the Bulls as uncomfortable as they wanted, and the Bulls missed the last shot and unfortunately lost!
After returning to the home court, the Bulls were very confused, and were slaughtered by the Celtics without Garnett by 21 points, and the hard-won home court advantage was instantly turned into ashes, but the young Bulls players did not lose heart and fought to catch up in the fourth game! Rose led the team to a double-overtime victory over the Celtics with a quasi-triple-double score, bringing the score back to 2-2, and No. 29 is the fifth battle between the Bulls and the Celtics!
As the top three in Texas, the Rockets seem to have the meaning of breaking through the first-round curse this season, the first game of the Giants scored 24 points with a 100% shooting rate in the first half, although they only played 6 minutes in the second half due to fouls, but they still led the Rockets to defeat the inexperienced Trail Blazers, and the first-round big brother can be regarded as having found the feeling of bullying the newcomers!
In the second game, the number of Giants shots decreased, the Trail Blazers, who lost at home, went all out, Roy went crazy and scored 42 points, the Trail Blazers successfully won and defended the home court, but the Rockets were in trouble, and the Giants' bench was seriously injured by Mutombo, who was called Uncle Mu by the Chinese people! It also casts a shadow over the next game of the Rockets! In the third game, the Giants were constantly reduced by the Trail Blazers' defensive scores, but the Trail Blazers' main Roy was troubled by fouls and 6 fouls, the Rockets struggled to win this game 2-1 to lead the Trail Blazers, and the Trail Blazers, who tasted the sweetness of the fourth game in a row, continued to defend the Giants like this, but the Giants still scored 21 points and 12 rebounds despite the troubles, helping the Rockets win over the Trail Blazers and expand the total score to 3-1, and they also have to go to the Trail Blazers' home and away games on the 29th, and they can enter the next round if they win.
And the other two of the top three in Texas meet, and the fight between the Mavericks and the Spurs can be said to be a relatively tasteless defensive battle! In the first game, the King of Nuo Tianwang was in a foul crisis, only hit one ball in the first quarter and fouled twice, and before the second quarter was halfway through, he fouled again, and the Skynet who had no choice but to commit three fouls could only sit on the court and cheer for his teammates, and the Spurs once led by 13 points after the Nuotiannet got off the court, but Bass and Barria played one after another, and the Mavericks completed an 11-4 attack wave, which helped the Mavericks get through the crisis period when Nowitzki was no longer in the crisis.
In the third quarter, the scores of the two teams in a stalemate state rose alternately, but at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Nowitzki made a force, and the Mavericks played a wave of 7-3 offensive to lead the Spurs 81-77, although the Spurs worked hard to chase the points, but Pi Erye (Dampier, known as the league's second center) and Baria, who performed well in the first half, played a wave of 9-0 offensive, and successfully expanded the difference to 12 points. The first game was powerless and lost at home!
In the second game of the Bull and Horse War, the French trot Tony Parker broke out, slashing 19 points on the front page, shooting 16 of 22 from the field, scoring 38 points and 8 assists! The rest of the Spurs players who lost the first game played averagely, but the Mavericks played more negatively, Nowitzki shot 3 of 14, only 14 points and 6 rebounds, and only 3 people on the team scored double-doubles! The Spurs led all the way to the last 4 minutes and 21 seconds of the fourth quarter, the Mavericks surrendered their guns, and there was no way to add an 18-point difference in the bad hand, how to turn the tables So the two sides replaced the main force, and the total score of the bull and horse battle was 1-1.
Their third game can be called the strongest defensive battle in the league this season! Although the first quarter was decent, but in the second quarter, after the two sides strengthened their hands, the Spurs' shooting rate fell all the way, but the Mavericks still guaranteed the success rate, so the score gradually opened, the Mavericks ended the first half with 46-30, and in the third quarter, Nowitzki's state warmed up, shooting frequently, a wave of 22-6 attack frenzy, and before the halfway point of the third quarter, it was 68-36 with an absolute advantage, and Popovich was also decisive, feeling that he couldn't play and surrender directly to save the player's physical strength, so the Mavericks ended the quarter with 75-42, Although the Spurs came off the bench in the fourth quarter with an 18-8 offensive run, they were powerless! Doomed, the Mavericks beat the Spurs 88-67! 67 points is also the second-lowest score in the playoffs this season!
In the fourth game, Parker continued the excellent performance of the second game, scoring 31 points at halftime, but he couldn't stop the Mavericks' full outburst, and the Mavericks are currently leading the Spurs with a score of 3-1! The old powerhouse Spurs are on the verge of elimination! Whether the No. 29 Spurs will drag the Mavericks into a tie-break or leave the playoffs is about to be revealed.
In the other series, the Nuggets have been strong this season to reach the playoffs as the second in the West, and they met the New Orleans Hornets! (Now Pelicans) in the first game, Billups made 8 three-pointers to directly break the team history record, and only one goal was missing to tie the NBA single-game record! And there are 8 assists! The strength of the Billups Nuggets, who got instant combat power, rose a notch, and directly bloodied the Hornets with a 29-point difference.
In the second game, Billups scored 31 points again, directly pulled out the Hornets Stinger and successfully won two consecutive victories, and went to the Hornets home court with an absolute heart, and the first two games in the third game in the Hornets Billups were no longer magical, Paul was full of power, and the Nuggets shooting rate of the sting dropped significantly! 32 points, 12 assists, 5 rebounds, successfully poisoned the Nuggets!
----------
April 28th! In the first two games today, the Heat and Hawks have not yet ended, but they have been in a lingering state, and they are decisively inseparable!
And the other game is over! The Nuggets, who lost Game 3, exploded in Game 4, when the Minneapolis Lakers defeated the St. Louis Hawks 133-75 (58 points) on March 20, 1956, setting a record for the largest margin margin in NBA playoff history. Now, after 53 years, this record is tied by the Nuggets in this game.
This Nuggets will be very fierce, Nenne, Kenyon, Birdman composed of the forbidden area, is the pinnacle of the beast flow inside, they are very strict in the first quarter of Paul, physical contact is also relatively large, Paul was beaten in the first quarter.
The Nuggets had a 20-plus point advantage in the first quarter, and then they led all the way. Carmelo Anthony had 26 points, seven and six rebounds, Chauncey Billups had 17 points and eight assists, Nene had 13 points and Dundee Jones had 12 points.
Chauncy gives people the feeling that if you don't shoot, you will hit with a shot, and you can shoot no matter how you shoot! Not to mention Anthony, needless to say, Anthony is like a god when he is downwind, JR is a pure person who is crazy, and he did the most when people lift the table, so he staged the biggest bloody case in the history of the NBA playoffs, winning by 58 points 121-63! The Nuggets lead the Hornets 3-1, and the two teams will play Game 5 on the 30th, and the Hornets will be able to continue their playoff journey with the fifth game, but the media basically believes that the Hornets' playoff game is over.
---------
And get the results of this game! Kobe Bryant called Paul for comfort as soon as possible! After chatting for a while, I put down the phone, although the words just now were full of comfort, but how do I feel that Kobe Bryant is a little gloating!
In thinking about the Hornets going bankrupt a few years later, Paul almost went to the Los Angeles Lakers, Huang Yu seemed to understand something, but of course Huang Yu, who knew the outcome of the matter, couldn't say, don't bother Paul can't join the Lakers?
In fact, many Comeys applauded when Paul was about to join the Lakers, but other team owners didn't dare, how can we play when Paul goes to the Lakers? The championship was given to the Lakers, so the league drew advice and came out to stop!
Although the Hornets are managed by the league and have the right to veto the deal, in the eyes of the fans, they directly beat their faces with blue nose and swollen face! Although in order to flaunt his fairness, Paul was sent to Los Angeles, but he was sent to the broken ship! got a lot of talent and future draft picks, and laid the capital for the Hornets to rise, in fact, they were afraid that Paul would be gone, and the Hornets would not be able to sell it.
Otherwise, as soon as other bosses protest, they will be stopped, and if the football teams in Europe that have been transfused blood to the giants all the year round and poached by the giants protest, UEFA will have nothing to do, come out to mediate every day! So the so-called fairness and justice is TM a joke!
Obviously, the misery of the Hornets did not affect the mentality of the Lakers players, and everyone was actively preparing for the game! After all, if you win, you can rest for at least a few days!
After the game started, the Jazz starting lineup was changing! The Jazz, who are already planning to fight to the death, make great efforts to defend Kobe! Kobe Bryant, who felt hot in the first few games, was no longer in shape, and only hit one shot and scored 4 points! So the Zen master replaced him halfway through the game! Huang Yu replaced Kobe Bryant to play the No. 2 position, but today's point guard for the Jazz is Myers, and Delon is the scoring guard! This caused Huang Yu and Delong to be in line again!
However, this time Delong did not go head-to-head, but directly called for blocking! He singled Odom after switching places with Boozer! Hit again and again! This also allowed the Jazz to lead the Lakers for a while, not because of Delon's old mistakes, but because Sloan decided to use Boozer to limit Yellow Rain! Although Boozer's scoring ability was sealed, but under his full defense, Huang Yu's offense today was also more difficult, and in the case of consecutive missed three-point shots, Huang Yu decisively entered the low single! Although Boozer's weight is there, Huang Yu can not create many opportunities, but he can't stand the home advantage, even if Boozer becomes a jumping man, he can't block it.
So the game between the two sides entered a stalemate, and they drew again and again! In the last 10 seconds of the first quarter, Deron broke through the basket and was blocked by Bynum, Odom, who received the ball, made a long pass to Fisher, who hit the ground and passed to Huang Yu, facing Boozer's defense Huang Yu made a turn and jumper, leaving 3 seconds for the Jazz, Delon missed the three-point line in the backcourt, and the Lakers entered the second quarter with a 4-point lead at 30-26!
The Lakers went on an 8-0 run in the second quarter to take a 38-26 advantage. After nearly 3 minutes of playing in this quarter, the Jazz shot a three-pointer by Myers, and with 7 minutes and 39 seconds left in the quarter, Vujasic, who came off the bench, hit a three-point shot, and the Lakers took a double-digit advantage of 40-29, at which time Kobe Bryant replaced Huang Yu on the court, and his condition improved and played well, and the Lakers led 56-43 after this quarter.
The Lakers didn't want to dwell too much, the Zen master changed tactics again and again, after halftime, the third quarter continued to open the gap, and when there were 3 minutes 02 seconds left in the quarter, Kobe Bryant hit a three-point shot, and then he passed to Gasol, who scored a dunk in the air, and the Lakers played a wave of 7-0 and led by 22 points at 80-58, although Jazz Delon and Boozer broke out at this time, but at the end of the third quarter, the Jazz only chased the score to 63-82.
In the fourth quarter, the Jazz continued their excellent play at the end of the third quarter, and with 8:50 left in the game, Ronnie Brewer scored a strong dunk, and the Jazz went on a 13-0 run to chase the score to 86-93. For four minutes, the Lakers didn't score a point, and it wasn't until 4:25 left in the quarter that Kobe Bryant hit a shot.
The Jazz's tenacity is well known, and when they were facing elimination, they caused problems for the Lakers again, but the Zen master didn't give them a chance and directly replaced Huang Yu and Odom on the court at the same time! Korver's two three-pointers were blocked by Huang Yu and did not hit, and the Jazz had no choice but to continue to fall behind 89-95, and in the next three minutes, Huang Yu, Odom and Kobe each scored a three-pointer to kill the suspense of the game! In the end, Sloan directly replaced the Jazz and announced his surrender, and the Lakers defeated the Jazz 112-102 to advance to the semifinals.
