On April 18, the Clippers won the Jazz at home and pulled the score back to 1:1.

The Clippers were originally strong inside, and now that the Jazz have fewer interior players, it seems normal to win.

The Clippers scored 60 points in the Jazz box today, and Jazz coach Snyder believes that without Gobert, the team must find a way to protect the box: "Obviously, the opponent put more pressure on the basket tonight, and any time you don't have a Defensive Player of the Year candidate on your roster, other players have to step up. ”

Jazz core Hayward said: "We didn't play our best tonight, except for the first quarter, we played the right game. Thankfully we won one of those games and we'll go back and study our mistakes and get ready for G3 and we'll be excited in front of the home fans. ”

Speaking about Bamot's defense against him, Hayward said, "I shot good three-pointers, but I missed a lot of two-pointers, and it was one of those nights when I didn't shoot well. Of course he defended very well and forced me to throw difficult shots. I have to play better and show my better side. ”

In the game between the Eastern Raptors and the Bucks, the Raptors also defended their second home court.

It's no surprise that Lowry is back to normal, and it's the most common show in the Raptors playoffs, and their two-gun guns will always dictate the rhythm of the game in a strange way.

Bucks coach Jason Kidd said of his opponent's performance in an interview after the game: "They hit more three-pointers in the half than they did in the last game, and we had to stop those players from making three-pointers, and that helped them." ”

"We did what we had to do, we played hard in both games, we did the right thing, and we're going to look forward and get ready for our third meeting in Milwaukee," the Bucks said in an interview. ”

"I'm going to face a lot more people in the paint area, and they're playing very aggressively. As a professional basketball player, I do the right thing, play the right basketball and always try to find my teammates. I just do what I have to do, grab rebounds, pass the ball, etc. ”

"He played a lot more aggressively, he did a great job tonight, he shot well and found his teammates. ”

However, after winning the game, Raptors head coach Casey was still not happy.

"The referees feel like the screens they're setting up are legitimate, but you look at the slow motion, believe me, they're all moving screens, they're grabbing, pulling our players," Casey said, "Dellavedova set the precedent, the referees didn't blow it, and now we have to make sure that we set up the screens in the same way, and we're going to send those videos to the league." ”

Kidd also responded to the other side, "Everyone has their own ideas about the screen, the level of confrontation, each referee is different, they look at the problem differently, and they interpret illegal cover differently. So for us, we have to concentrate on playing and let the rest be. ”

Not to mention the entanglement between the Raptors and the Bucks, on the side of the Celtics and the Bulls, the Bulls, who are eighth in the East, are already 2:0 ahead of the Celtics, who are the first in the East.

Now the outside world is shouting about the Black Eight, and the Celtics, who have lost two home games, are standing on the edge of the cliff.

The point is that the Bulls don't really look like an eighth-place team, they defend well, with Jimmy Butler, Wade, Rondo.

They also have decent role players, and Bulls head coach Hojberg also talked about that after the game.

"Our role players have contributed a lot to the team," Hojberg said, "and you look at Bobby Portis' performance in his first playoff game and see what he's capable of." And then there's Paul Zipzer, who obviously stepped up in Game 2 and hasn't played much of that role this season. It's important that everyone on our roster is trying to get their job done.

'I would also like to give credit to the players who didn't play, they helped everyone prepare.

"We think Boston have a good chance of coming out of the slump, they're the best team in the league on the road, they've been a resilient team all season," Hojberg said, "and we're going to continue to support each other, I know our players aren't satisfied, they're going to keep trying to win games, and I believe in them." ”

Wade was also interviewed for the season, saying, "You played 82 regular-season games to get to know yourself, and one of the things I learned about this team is that in the face of adversity, we are a team that sticks together. ”

'I'm glad we got a 2-0 lead, but it's still meaningless, and I hope we can continue to play with hunger, we can't be satisfied with that, we still have work to do.'

He also made a joke about Rondo: "I hated him when I was an enemy with him, I hated him as a competitor, but I like him now, he's my teammate. ”

And the Celtics players must have been a little frustrated, and after the game Horford simply wrote on social media: "Let's go through the storm together as a team, we'll stay strong, come on, Celtics!" ”

On April 19, the Spurs played the Trail Blazers at home.

Before the start of the game, Lillard made a winning declaration in an interview, declaring in a high-profile manner that he would lead the Trail Blazers to complete the miracle of the Black Eight.

Lillard, the Spurs are not good, but he can't beat the Spurs, just let him toss.

If he's really hot, it's also part of the plan to have Danny Green switch defenses.

However, although the Trail Blazers are full of determination, they are not so agile when they come to the court.

Their two guns were still strong, but not as smooth as the first game, and the Spurs started the game under control.

Besides, this time the Spurs are doing better than before.

After establishing the advantage in the first quarter, the Spurs did not give the opponent any chance.

The Spurs scored double-doubles to win again, and the playoffs were easily 2-0 open.

Leonard was succinct in his post-match interview, "I'm just glad we won tonight. ”

He also said that adjustments need to be made for Game 3, limiting turnovers, executing better on the offensive end, defending and playing with energy.

Danny Green said of Lillard, "He's a very good player, he's very smart, you can't completely guard him, he's got into the game early and we tried to put him under pressure. He also knew this, so he made adjustments. We also adjusted to prevent him from getting the ball as much as possible and to dampen his emotions. ”

The Trail Blazers simply commented on Game 3 back at home, with Harkless saying, "It's definitely going to be a game to win, we're going to have to win that game." If we want to have a chance to win the series, we have to win Game 3. "Reading a book and finding the latest chapters by yourself? You're out, WeChat attention Beauty editor helps you find books!
