Whether the Pacers can win or not, the key is not to see the play of Paul George, but the play of Lowry and DeRozan.

The two cores of the Raptors played like, so the Pacers won Game 4, and the score became 2:2.

This time the Pacers adjusted their starters, Myles Turner took the starters, and they can finally play the familiar double interior, but it is definitely not the main reason for the win, and the garbage brothers live up to their name.

In the fourth game between the Thunder and the Mavericks, DeLong was injured in less than a minute, and then the Mavericks were blown up inside and outside, and the difference in strength was really big.

Truth be told, the gap between the top eight in the West is wider than in the East.

And what everyone is most concerned about this time is that Durant moved too much when defending Justin Anderson after the game was not suspenseful, and was ejected from the game after eating a level 2 malicious foul.

Of course, the Thunder managed to get the match point.

After the game, Donovan touched on the topic of Durant's ejection, saying, "From my point of view, it's just a normal foul, he just wants to get the ball down from the opposing player, but it hits where it shouldn't be." We all know what kind of person he is, he is friendly, humble, and not on purpose. And before leaving, he had already tried to apologize to the opposing players. ”

He may not have believed it himself, but he had to say it.

Durant may not be unintentional, but there can be nothing to say about kindness on the court.

On the Mavericks' side, coach Carlisle affirmed the fighting spirit of the whole team, but he was also very helpless about the gap in strength between the two sides and the continuous injury problems in the team, "Delong will not play again this season, Barria is not 100% healthy, Mejri has a strain, and the specific situation is not very certain." ”

On April 24, the fourth game between the Warriors and the Rockets began, and Curry also started.

Curry had two games off and needed to adjust, but Zhang Xiaotian, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green were all feeling good.

After Curry missed the attempt, Zhang Xiaotian and Klay Thompson hit one after another.

And when it came to the rockets on the edge of the cliff, the attack was not very decisive.

So although Curry didn't open, the Warriors still suppressed the Rockets steadily.

During the rotation period, Harden still stayed on the court without resting, and the Rockets had no other way.

Unexpectedly, Beasley played a surprise role at this time, he scored 7 points in a row plus Harden's three points in the last moment, and the Rockets relied on these 10 points to tie the score in the last minute.

After tying the score, the Rockets rekindled their confidence, and at the beginning of the second quarter, Howard dominated the basket, grabbed rebounds in the front court and dunked all kinds of heavy dunks in a row, and got a double-double at halftime, as if he was back in his prime.

The Warriors didn't panic, and the twelve rotated to play at their own pace.

Is this playing with fire in the playoffs, and the Warriors say that being strong is willful.

Although Howard broke out, Beslick was soldiered, the Rockets still did not pose a substantial threat to the Rockets.

After the main player came on the field, Zhang Xiaotian played two in a row and added an assist to help the team equalize the score by the way.

This season's Rockets are still too weak to give them a chance.

Beasley still played well after re-entering the court, and the referees began to sympathize with the underdogs, and with more than twice the free throws, the Rockets saved face in the first half and barely tied with the Warriors.

The confrontation was not too intense, but there were problems on both sides.

In the final 1 second of the first half, Curry slipped while defending and injured his knee.

When warming up at halftime, Curry still felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't play again after scoring 6 points in the return half, and Beverley, the point guard of the Rockets, also had a recurrence of an old injury and did not return in the second half.

It stands to reason that Curry has a heavier weight, but the Rockets can't win against the Rockets without Curry, let alone one less starter.

At the beginning of the second half, the Warriors hit consecutive three-pointers to force the score advantage to be extended.

Zhang Xiaotian, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green all scored double-doubles in the first quarter.

The Rockets actually have a lot of opportunities, because of the concern for their interior line, the Warriors have a shrinking defense, but unfortunately they have three points outside in a row.

With one or the other, the Warriors suddenly led by 20 points.

This time, the bench players were also unable to save the Rockets, and under the pressure of going home if they lost, the Rockets collapsed directly.

4:0 sweep, Curry has a little problem, the Warriors still swept the opponent, this is the strength of the league's regular season record.

This time, Zhang Xiaotian clocked out in advance, but also got 22+5+5 data.

In the playoffs, he's clearly stronger than in the regular season.

For the promotion, the Warriors are very calm, and can only say that they played normally.

After the game, when it came to Curry's situation, Coach Kerr was also extremely cautious. He said Curry's right knee needs to be reviewed for an MRI and whether the injury is serious is still difficult to say, "He still wants to play, but we can't do that, and I'm very sad about that...... And after Curry left the game, our players felt like we needed to be more united, we were one, and we needed to support each other. ”

"I slipped a little, fell and got hurt. My team is fantastic, that's it. Curry was reluctant to say more in an interview.

With back-to-back injuries in the playoffs, he's certainly a little uncomfortable as well.

It's not bad to lie down and win, but he's a very proud man.

"For us, bad defense cost the team the series, we had a poor concentration on the court, and when we were in a game, we needed to focus and we lost it all of a sudden, we weren't as focused as they were, it's as simple as that." Nest lost the game, and the head coach of the Rockets could only leave angry words.

He understands that he, acting head coach, is destined to not be able to turn regular.

However, on the same day, there were three unlucky teams that were swept.

The game between the Spurs and the Grizzlies was the least suspenseful in the series, and they still won by a big margin, and Leonard was completely unstoppable in the third quarter.

This game was also the 245th playoff game of Duncan's career, and "Stone Buddha" also successfully surpassed Robert Horry's 244 games to rise to second place in history, and Zhang Xiaotian also sent a text message to congratulate.

And the Cavaliers swept the Pistons, which was also expected by everyone.

The Pistons didn't throw in as early as the previous two teams, they held on until the last second, but they lost by two points.

If the Pistons want to go far in the playoffs, they need to find a system that works better for the team.

Drummond was on the bench for the last six minutes in the last game, and this one is still the same.

The All-Star-level interior can only watch his teammates lose because of the free throw problem, and the players definitely need to do better, but the team's tactics must also have problems, how can they win if they abandon the strongest point.
