In the sixth game between the Heat and the Hornets, the Hornets returned to their home court but failed to win the game.

Wade faced off against young Kemba Walker at a critical moment, allowing Walker to score 37 points.

Both teams fought extremely hard throughout the game, and although the Heat took a nine-point lead twice in the fourth quarter, the gap was narrowed by the Hornets, especially Walker's 7-0 attack wave in the final period, which narrowed the gap to only 2 points. In the life and death stage, Wade sent a key ball as the soul of the Heat, and the Heat finally defeated the Hornets 97-90, and the overall score was tied at 3-3.

Jeremy Lin didn't play efficiently again in this game, and no more people stepped up, which was the reason for the Hornets' failure.

The first round of the Eastern Conference is not over yet, and the Western Conference semifinals have begun.

The Spurs and Thunder, who had already qualified, started their first game at the home of the Spurs.

The two teams were close on paper, but the course of the game was surprising.

The Spurs led by 23 points in the first quarter and 33 points at halftime, turning the entire second half into garbage time.

Zhang Xiaotian is very concerned about this game, and it has nothing to do with his old club, but the frontline matchup between Leonard and Durant, and he will definitely face one of them in the next round.

The two of them, apart from James, should be the most difficult guy for Zhang Xiaotian to deal with in the third position.

It's a pity that Leonard and Aldridge were in too good shape at the beginning, and Leonard almost finished Durant, but Zhang Xiaotian knew that this time was not accurate, and Durant was more difficult to deal with in terms of previous experience.

Watch a few more games to see what the two of them do.

It's better not to pay so much attention, after all, the main focus now is on dealing with the Trailblazers.

After this game, many reporters brought up the topic of Ade joining the Spurs last year, and now it seems that it was definitely a pretty wise decision.

In response, Popovich pretended to be a comparison, "Last summer, we didn't lobby him at all, we did meet him, but he is an adult, and he made the final decision based on his own judgment about what is most important in the future...... He doesn't need those candle cakes and stuff like that, I think that's a bit silly. ”

'It did take some time for Ade to get used to the system and his team-mates, because he needs to understand everyone's specific abilities and where they are most comfortable playing, and his performance today is the result of a steady improvement after being familiar with these things.

On the Thunder's side, after the game, when a reporter asked Durant how he was in mood now, Du Shao directly refused to answer: "I won't tell you." ”

"It's over, we're going to forget about it and get better and we're going to think about what we can do better." Durant then added.

Westbrook agrees, "That's what the whole series is about, we'll go back and watch the footage and see what mistakes we made and then get ready for Game 2." ”

Thunder coach Donovan said, "Our players are very competitive, they will respond, and when we come back tomorrow, we will correct the problems in practice and improve ourselves." ”

In May, the Warriors are finally going to continue their war, and Curry is in no hurry to come back.

But in terms of lineup, the Warriors are still strong.

The Trail Blazers' player function is too single, the offensive end basically relies on the feel of the two guns, and the role players have a good defense, but the defense of the two guns is very average.

Compared with the Warriors, the advantages and disadvantages of the Trail Blazers are more obvious.

However, the attack power of the outside line, the warriors are afraid of who is coming.

It was Livingston who started in place of Curry, who was only a bench on both ends of the floor, but his height gave him more opportunities on the team.

Entering can bully short guards, and retreating can change to defensive front players, which is a good patch.

Even if he can't handle Lillard this time, he can let Klay Thompson and Iguodala go, and Zhang Xiaotian only needs to go to the offense, because the Trail Blazers don't have a third point.

If the other party forcibly pops up a third, there is also Draymond Green.

The Warriors are a strong team, with so many people on both the offensive and defensive ends.

Klay Thompson and Zhang Xiaotian are players who combine offense and defense, allowing the team to adapt to multiple modes.

To put it simply, it is to kill the opponent on both the offensive and defensive ends.

This is what they did, with Zhang Xiaotian and Thompson both scoring in double figures in the first quarter to help the team win the Trail Blazers by a full 20 points.

During the rotation, the Trail Blazers' bench showed resilience and helped the team recover a few points.

But after the main force returned to the court, it was the world of the Warriors again.

The interior of the Trail Blazers is also accustomed to pulling out and shooting, and it is difficult to tear apart the Warriors' defense if they lack injuries in the restricted area.

On the outside, to be honest, Lillard's C.J. McClum is a little lower.

The Trail Blazers' tactical style is obvious, and it can't be changed, and at halftime, the Warriors just corrected some details to prevent the opponent from chasing points.

In the third quarter, they continued to defend against two guns, and the Trail Blazers were desperate to recover the score, and the point difference widened, so the next thing was garbage time.

The other side didn't give up, and Lillard finally scored a lot of points in the fourth quarter when the Warriors didn't take care of him so closely, but it was about the same as garbage time swiping data.

In the first game of the second round, Curry sat on the sidelines in a suit, and the Warriors still won so easily, perhaps more easily than against the Rockets.

The Trail Blazers, who can win the Clippers in rebounding, are not even rebounding in this game.

Zhang Xiaotian scored 23 points, 12 rebounds and a double-double, in addition to 6 assists, and played very easily.

The opponent in the second round is the Trail Blazers, their luck is good, not to underestimate the Trail Blazers, there is a gap in the strength of the two sides.

As long as the Warriors don't mess around on their own, they can definitely make it to the Western Conference Finals.

On this basis, Zhang Xiaotian still has to pay attention to another group of matchups in the west, after all, his defensive task will not be too heavy in this series.

'We did a lot of pre-game work and everyone did a good job in the game and the game got into our rhythm so we won. During the interview, Zhang Xiaotian also seemed very calm.

While they were enjoying the second round of the playoffs, there were two groups that were desperately fighting.

Of course, desperate efforts don't have to be tangled, and the Heat defeated the Hornets in the third quarter at home and advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Kemba Walker played like this time, and he didn't score a double-double.

The young Hornets core couldn't withstand the pressure of grabbing seven at all, and they didn't win the sixth game, which many people had expected.

In fact, there is nothing to say, there is indeed a gap between the lineups of the two sides, and to be able to play the seventh game, the Hornets have already played extraordinarily, and only stronger teams can go further in the playoffs.
