Chapter 315: The opponent of the East Showdown

In the fourth game between the Warriors and the Grizzlies, Curry scored more than 20 points in the first half, which also helped the team establish an absolute lead.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Warriors, the weakness of the Grizzlies on the offensive end was once again revealed, and the score between the two sides became a 2:2 draw.

After the game, Warriors star Curry believed that the main reason why the team was able to win today was because they played as aggressively as they should be, "That's the way we should play, and we're proud of that." Especially in the first quarter, we tried to make every shot at the best time...... I have 100 per cent confidence in my team-mates and they trust me just as much when I have the ball...... We've been disappointed with our previous two defeats in a row, but we're still optimistic about winning away from home. ”

On the Grizzlies' side, after the game, both the head coach and the players reflected on their poor offensive efficiency, "We need to play a higher quality offense while doing a good job defensively, and maybe it would be better if everyone could hit more shots." ”

Grizzlies coach Jogle believes that "if you're a Warriors fan, you're going to enjoy today's game...... Sometimes in order to beat the Warriors, we have to score 100 points...... Just defending desperately on the field, this obviously won't work. ”

Warriors coach Steve Kerr was pleased with his players' performance, "When you're 2-1 down on the road, you're just going to have to gamble for the rest of the game, and it takes a sense of urgency...... And that's the playoffs, you have to fight for every ball...... Today's game was probably the most competitive and hardest game we played in the playoffs, because everyone was fighting hard every second. ”

The battle between the Hawks and the Wizards returned to Wall, but the Wizards didn't win the game.

The two sides played until the last minute, and in the final 46.9 seconds, the two teams entered the final battle with a score tied at 78, Pierce made an inexplicable error on the dribble, the Hawks got a fast-break opportunity, and Carroll scored a layup to take an 80-78 lead with 14.9 seconds left in the game.

At the critical moment, Pierce made up for it and hit a decisive three-point shot with 8.3 seconds left to help the team regain a one-point lead.

The Hawks reorganized the offense, and Schroder's shot was blocked by Wall, but Horford grabbed the offensive rebound and scored the basketball! At this time, there were 1.9 seconds left in the game, but the Wizards had used up all the timeouts, and Wall could only shoot three-pointers from a long distance, but unfortunately failed to hit, and unfortunately lost the battle of Tianwang Mountain.

Wall played well up front, but didn't score in the final quarter, and as the core of the team, that's the big problem.

The battle between the Warriors and the Grizzlies on Tianwang Mountain is not too much suspense after three quarters.

The Grizzlies' offensive problems are not something that can be changed with a little determination, so if they fall behind by double digits before the final quarter, it is basically a foregone conclusion.

After the game, in addition to the star Curry, Iguodala on the bench received the most praise. Warriors coach Kelr said, "When Iguodala plays like he did today, it's when we're at our best overall...... Even though we didn't play at our best offense today, we hit a lot of three-pointers. ”

Iguodala himself believes that "every playoff win is very difficult, but at the same time it's important, and you can't take every second, every point and every round for granted. ”

Iguodala also praised the play of star Curry, "I think in the last two games, he knows exactly when to take over the game, and he's done a good job of that. ”

Defensive titan Draymond Green believes that the Warriors' defense is getting better and better through continuous learning from opponents in this series against the Grizzlies, "When you gradually figure out their tricks, your defense is like fermentation of wine, and it gets better and better over time." ”

Coach Kerr also praised the team's defence, "In the previous games, I said that our defense was good enough, but it wasn't championship-level, and obviously, on that point, I was wrong. Today, our defensive performance was exactly what the team needed. ”

In the sixth game between the Rockets and the Clippers, the Rockets won again after the change of lineup.

Josh Smith's role after improving the starting line is too obvious, the Clippers' interior line can't be defended, if they give up an interior line, the Clippers will have no advantage over them, and obviously no matter how they play, it will not be right.

In the end, Shish Smith and Corey Brewer combined for 29 points, and Harden was out of shape to help the team turn the Clippers around without playing.

After the game, Rockets owner Alexander exclaimed that it was one of the most amazing games he had ever seen.

Rockets coach McHale said that without Josh, the Rockets would not have won at all today.

At the post-match press conference, Mak had to drink some alcohol to calm his excitement, "I can see hope in their eyes, and I can see hope in their rhythm of the game. I would have liked to put Harden on the court, but they deserved to stay on the court to finish the game. ”

And on Twitter, a number of NBA stars also spoke out for the first time, commenting on this magical game. Rockets veteran Parsons wrote, "It's really unbelievable! A magical reversal, hat off salute! ”

Harden's dropout in the final quarter was also a big focus of the game, and the bearded man said after the game, "When it comes to this game, it feels incredible, and I'm proud of the team's performance in the final quarter, and I became the cheerleader on the sidelines." Overall, the team's performance was really incredible...... That's it now, we still have one game to play. ”

In contrast, Clippers coach Doc Rivers was extremely disappointed with the result, "In the last quarter, everyone kind of wants to delay the game, no one wants to shoot, just like Murphy's Law, the more afraid of making mistakes, the more you really make mistakes in the end." ”

Unlike this side, the other two groups are behind Tianwang Mountain, and the dominant side does not continue to give the opponent a chance.

The Hawks and Wizards only decided at the last minute.

With 1:14 left in the fourth quarter, the two teams were tied at 89, with Carroll scoring two consecutive goals to give his team the lead.

After returning from a timeout, Beal hit the basket and was blocked by Horford, Beal grabbed the offensive rebound, but Wall also failed to score.

In the last 18.7 seconds, Korver made a pass error and was stealed by Beal, but the Wizards failed to make two consecutive attacks, and finally Millsap fouled the basket and Temple scored 2 points on a free throw. With 6.4 seconds left in the game, Nene was fouled and Horford scored just one point from the free throw line, leaving the Wizards with a chance to tie the score.

Veteran Pierce replaced Seraphim at the last moment, Wall gave the ball to Pierce, Pierce held the ball and moved to the corner, made a three-point shot, and the ball went into the net, but the time had come, and Pierce's magical equalizing three-pointer was ruled invalid, and the Hawks narrowly beat the Wizards 94-91.

In this way, the next opponent of the knight was determined.
