Chapter 232: It's hard to think about it if it's not cool
"The Spurs fell on both home courts, and the big score was dragged into 2:3 by the Houstonians, and the Holy City was in crisis!" ”
Early the next morning, the Rockets fans, who had been excited all night, went back with a few newspapers from their homes before catching up on sleep, and the reports on them were all the news they had already known last night.
My Neighbor Totoro exploded in the final moments, shooting 4-of-4 from three-point range, scoring 15 points in the final six minutes, and forcing the Rockets to get out of the Spurs' turf on his own.
It's been too long since the Rockets retired from Olajuwon to get a taste of what the Western Conference Finals are like.
Whether it is Yao Mai in Francis's era or later, the Rockets can enter the playoffs almost every year, but they fall to the ground in the first round of the playoffs every year, and this year, after trading their star for a rookie, they have actually entered the Western Conference Finals with half a foot? It's like a dream!
"I'm happy because we were able to win two games in a row because we were here to win two games in a row, but it's not time to celebrate, because I and my team know that the Spurs are a completely different team from the Portland Trail Blazers, and we should be more careful and more prepared to be the winner of this series."
In the post-game interview, My Neighbor Totoro was not floating at all, and expressed his idea that he should be modest.
This is the combination of contradictions Totoro, he is completely opposite to the brain circuit of a normal person, when the team loses, he will appear very inflated, but once his side has an advantage, he will appear extraordinarily low-key, making people scratch their heads at all.
The reporters of the Spurs team want to kneel down to Totoro and beg for mercy, the stubborn appearance when he is frustrated makes people's teeth itch, and the modest appearance when the wind is downwind makes people unable to find black spots, those reporters want to beg Totoro to give a way to live, be more arrogant and arrogant, and milk their own team, otherwise the Spurs they support will really be cold.
And they haven't forgotten how they belittled Totoro after the first game, the other party is not like the kind of person who repays grievances with virtue, but the time has not yet come, at this time the Rockets not only tied the big score, but also regained the home advantage, those reporters can think of if the Rockets really win, what kind of victor attitude the Totoro will have, pull out his previous remarks and whip them in the face hard.
The Rockets managed to bring the game back to the Dragonborn Cave Arena, while on the other side, the Knights, known as the Emperor of the New Century, took a turn for the worse.
This time in the Quick Loan Center Arena, Howard once again went berserk and became a world-destroying monster, playing 35 minutes in the fourth quarter and cutting 36 points, 24 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 blocks. Chamberlain has so many points but can't reach so many rebounds, and today the monster can explode In addition to the Cavaliers' still weak interior and the referee is no longer targeted, his playoff shooting rate of only 47% of the free throw shooting rate has also exploded in this game, suddenly becoming 82%, when the chopping tactics no longer work, Howard is a brute beast that no one can trap.
3:2, the Magic took the lead to get the match point, Orlando only needed one game to send the Cavaliers out, Cleveland suddenly gloomy, lost the battle of Tianwang Mountain at home, they are afraid that this is the last game of the season for the Cavaliers they watch.
"I know it's a big disappointment for the fans who support us to lose a key game at home, and it really hurts our morale, but I want to say it's not the end of the world, we haven't lost the final game yet, as long as we're winning a game on the Magic's home court, then we're going to have home field advantage again and I'm going to qualify for the next round on our home court."
But what's interesting is that James is still like a boiled duck and only has a hard mouth, although what he said is a fart in the eyes of industry insiders, if you put aside the referee factor, the gap between the Magic and the Cavaliers is probably as huge as the Lakers and Hornets in the West, the Magic defense is excellent, the roster structure is young and the combat power is rich, and the superstar has a Howard who can replace James alone, and on the other hand, the Cavaliers, the only one who can help the little emperor on the court is the referee.
In addition to Howard, the Turkish agent has 17 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists in the quasi-triple-double data, Nelson 24 points, Mr. 100 million three-pointers shot 4 of 6 15 points, Buss 10 points and 14 boards, except for the quasi-triple-double data of James who still cut 34 points, 12 rebounds and 9 assists, only Mo Bu scored 19 points, and no one else got a double.
Speaking of the Lakers and Hornets here, the young Hornets once again fell at the feet of the old and spicy Purple and Gold, although the queen Bee Paul has found a way to crack the Lakers' target of him through a few games, but in the hard power of the piece, the Hornets can't beat it.
Paul scored 24 points and 14 assists and still fulfilled the profession of a qualified team leader in the playoffs, David West had 14 points and 8 rebounds, Chandler had 8 points and 13 boards, Kobe Bryant had 27 points, 5 boards and 7 assists in the Lakers, Bynum had 20 points and 8 boards, Gasol had 16 points, 9 assists and 7 boards, Odom had 18 points, Vujacic had 12 points, Wharton Jr. had 9 points and 5 assists, Shannon Brown had 7 points, 5 boards and 5 assists, and the Lakers seemed to be a little bit better than the Hornets in every point from the starter to the bench. The accumulation of this advantage in the game is a world of difference.
The Hornets won four games only because they were caught off guard by the Lakers in the first game, and now they are directly held by the opponent with three match points, which is really difficult to die.
