In the second half of Game 4 between the Cavaliers and the Bulls, Rose was calm at the beginning, and at halftime, he was determined to play more reasonably.

But with the two goals missed, Rose began to admit death again.

It's not that he fights around, he does feel that there is a chance, but often there is something missing in the end.

He was always reluctant to admit that his strength had declined.

Bulls coach Hirodeau is also depressed, you must know that the failures in the previous games have made the Bulls management very dissatisfied with him, if he can't win even one game, he will have a reputation for incompetence and retire.

Hiberdu threw a tantrum at the timeout and forced Rose to share the ball.

Rose, while not angry, is not exactly facing the head coach.

After the Bulls called a timeout, the ball was handed to Jimmy Butler for more rounds.

The Bulls' offense wasn't a clever tactic, but Butler was much more efficient than Rose, and the Cavaliers couldn't continue to pull away after his main offense.

But even if they can maintain the current situation, the Cavaliers still have the lead.

Everyone knows the strength of the Cavaliers in the last quarter, whether it is Zhang Xiaotian or James, they are unguardable.

But knowing that it doesn't mean that he can stop it, Mirotic hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer in the final minute of the third quarter, and finally let the Bulls only fall behind by 9 points.

At the beginning of the final quarter, it was still Rose who played with a bench lineup.

Rose was very desperate, regardless of the fact that his physical condition was not so good, but he couldn't shoot, and his continuous shots were all iron.

Others are very stubborn, and the more they can't throw, the more they shoot.

Only two minutes into the last quarter, Zhang Xiaotian and Irving on the Cavaliers' side scored consecutive points, and the score was about to reach 20 points.

The Bulls quickly called a timeout and replaced Butler with a change of focus.

Hiberdu regretted it very much, he shouldn't have let Butler rest with James, Butler was young and strong and had no problems, maybe he could just catch up a few points.

This is just imagination, and for this series, Hiberdu has no confidence either.

After Butler came up, the Bulls were really different, first Butler grabbed the frontcourt rebound and scored, then forced James to get a free throw, and also hit a three-point shot from the outside.

But that's all the Bulls have to offer, and besides, the Cavaliers have a big lead and don't mind being chased back a few points.

After half time, the Cavaliers still led by 15 points.

The Bulls played one big or four small to chase the points, but there was a hole in the defense, and Irving and James broke through in a row to make kills and firmly hold the initiative in their hands.

At the end of the game, the Bulls made consecutive shots from the outside.

Rose still hit the iron, and although Butler and Dunleavy both hit, they couldn't change the big picture.

At the last minute, the gap between the two sides was still in double digits, and the Bulls took the initiative to replace the main force and admit defeat.

At 108:95, when Love couldn't play, the Cavaliers still swept the opponent and entered the Eastern Conference Finals with their heads held high.

This is the Cavaliers' first advance to the Eastern Conference Finals since 2009 and the fifth consecutive year that James has advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.

"I'm giving my best for my team and I'm doing the same to my team-mates," James said, "and I want those guys to feel like they belong and that's why I'm here." There are some players on the team who have played well, but none of them have made the playoffs. ”

On the Bulls' side, with the team eliminated from the tournament, the question of whether Hibodeau can still coach will become hotly debated, to which Rose said: "I like to have him as our coach. ”

At the same time, Rose also said in frustration, "I've been trying to relax my shoulders, but it's not an excuse, I just missed a lot of shots. ”

Hiberdu also expressed a desire to stay with the Bulls, "yes, I still want to stay here unless the team management fires me." ”

Next, the Cavaliers have time to adjust the state of the players, which can ensure that they will be physically strong when they enter the Eastern Conference Finals.

In the fourth game between the Rockets and the Clippers, the Rockets collapsed again in the third quarter.

Before the game, Paul was still patting the prince's ass, "Austin is incredible, in the third quarter, I can say that he is a cheerleader, and I keep saying, 'If I can not play, I will not play.'" ’”

This Paul has basically recovered, the Clippers are all in force, the inside and outside are blooming, Howard is trapped in foul problems again, and the main forces of both sides did not play at all in the fourth quarter.

It seemed that Paul was not far from his western floor.

And with two consecutive heavy defeats, the Rockets can only hope to save face after returning to their home court. However, it is not easy to turn defeat into victory after falling behind 1-3, and there have only been eight times in NBA history.

On May 11th, the knights were already in a state of watching the show, and their next opponent was still fighting hard.

The two sides went back and forth until the last minute, with Teague sealing the win with a lethal three-pointer, while Pierce didn't continue his magic and missed the crucial shot.

In this way, the two teams played 2:2, which also means that the Cavaliers will rest for a long time.

In fact, the gap between the two teams is really not too big, that is, there is no absolute star at the critical moment, which leads to the uncertainty of the game, if Wall is not injured, maybe the Wizards hope more.

But it's only a possibility, and Wall isn't the kind of last-minute showdown star.

In the fifth game between the Clippers and the Rockets, the Rockets pulled one back.

The feeling of the two teams is very strange, the Clippers won the game, and the Rockets won this big victory, as if whoever played their strength could not be stopped at all, and there was no kind of entanglement with similar strength at all.

Harden's triple-double was very conspicuous, but the most important thing was that the Rockets changed their lineup.

They promoted Josh Smith to the starting No. 4 position, and Josh Smith could pull out and shoot.

In fact, it was to use a small lineup to deal with the twin towers of the Clippers, and when it came to life and death, the Rockets finally got their hands dirty.

Rockets coach McHale revealed that Harden was sick before the game and was still on an infusion in the afternoon. And when reporters asked about Harden's condition, he said, "I'm fine, we won, that's all that matters...... The win gave us momentum back and we played hard until the fourth quarter of the game. ”

In addition to Harden, Howard's performance in this game was also quite good, but after the game, the Monster still gave more praise to Harden, "This is a win-or-go game, he is desperate to win like us, and he showed this desire to win in today's game." ”

Of course, the other semi-finals in the West also showed a tangled performance.

Now it is easier only that they are not idle at night, and the team's coaching staff has formulated some new tactics, which have been screened out in the previous games without Lefou, in which Zhang Xiaotian will take greater responsibility. Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
