The Warriors showed the intensity of the game they deserved, and the Rockets had little hope.

There is no suspense in the Western Conference Finals, but the Eastern Conference Finals are in full swing. On the 21st, the Cavaliers played at home against the Magic, and the Warriors watched the game together.

If the Warriors advance to the Finals, they will only face one of the Cavaliers and the Magic, and Nelson deliberately asked the whole team to watch their game. There was some rejection of Nelson's demands, and everyone thought that their opponent would be the Cavaliers, and in Milicic's words, although James was a little bit of a star whistle dog, the Cavaliers would definitely win against the Magic.

In this game, "Warcraft" Howard showed his toughness, grabbed the frontcourt rebound in the opening minute, scored with both hands, and actually shook off the 24-second timer on the basket, and the game was forced to pause for 10 minutes.

As the game continued, West and Vallejo hit back-to-back shots to go on a 10-2 spurt to open the game with a double-digit 14-4 advantage. The Cavaliers then extended their advantage to 14 points and ended the quarter 33-19.

LeBron James was aiming to win the championship, hitting two three-pointers in the first quarter and scoring 10 points alone, and in the second quarter he was more aggressive, and the Cavaliers led by 16 points at one point. Mo Williams hit a three-pointer from beyond the clock to give the Cavaliers a 63-48 lead into the second half. LeBron James finished with 26 points and four assists on 11-of-16 shooting in the first half.

Nelson watched the game and nodded, he had been paying attention to James, but he didn't think the Cavaliers could win the series. He has the same opinion as Li Zhi, the Magic lineup restrained the Cavaliers, the lead is only temporary, and the Magic will win the final victory.

Milicic scolded the coach and said, "Coach, you are too optimistic about Howard, now that the Cavaliers are leading by more than ten points, can the Magic catch up?" ”

Li Zhi pulled Milicic, who had lost his IQ, down and sat down, and Nelson was not angry, he smiled and said, "Keep watching!" ”

Everyone agreed with Milicic that Nelson was thinking too much, but at the beginning of the second half, everyone looked at Li Zhi and Nelson strangely.

Howard led the team to fight back strongly, whether it was "Big Z" Ilgoskas or Ben Wallace, who came off the bench, the interior defense was very difficult.

Halfway through the third quarter, Howard was dunked in the air, and the Magic were 65-71 Cavaliers. After that, the Magic shooters recovered, Lewis and Petrus hit three-pointers in quick succession, and the Magic chased the score to 73-75.Although James scored 39 points in the first three quarters, the Cavaliers only led by four points after the third quarter.

The Magic chased the score because the shooters were powerful, with Petrus scoring 13 points in the third quarter, while the Cavaliers' shooters didn't play much, with only Joe Smith scoring a measly 2 points. The Cavaliers' bench group is also not good, JJ Hickson, who performed well in the regular season, is suspended, and the bench has no offensive power at all, and this problem has been evident in the first two rounds.

In the final quarter, the Magic rebounded 7-0, and James stood up to help the team score, but the Magic scored the whole team, and the Cavaliers couldn't prevent it.

At the critical moment, James caused Howard's fifth foul, and the Cavaliers got a chance, but the outside shooter was dumb. Howard's bench Gortat was under the basket in the box, and James was equally difficult to break through.

The two sides played until the last second, James broke through the ball to Mo Williams, Mo Williams missed the shot, and the Magic won. James fought until his right leg bleed, with 49 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks.

Howard got 30 points and 13 rebounds, and after the game, he looked at the camera of the interview and almost wrote the words "first center" on his face.

Nelson looked at Milicic with a smile, and Milicic's face turned red and he was silent and did not speak.

After two days of rest, the Warriors went to Houston to play two away games, and the Warriors won two games neatly, and after returning to their home court, they won another big victory, miraculously reaching the Finals.

The outside media lamented that this year's Western Conference playoffs are unpredictable and incomprehensible, but they also admire the Warriors. They were a non-playoff team last season, and this season they reached the Finals, and the configuration of the roster is nothing more than a second-year rookie, a few veterans, a group of newcomers, and experts attribute all this to the veteran coach Nelson, and for Chris Mullin, the outside world has a negative evaluation.

On the 27th, the Warriors coaching staff arranged for players to watch the fifth game of the Cavaliers vs Magic to observe the weaknesses of the opponent, which can give a full understanding of the enemy.

It's still the same team studio, with management, coaches and players sitting next to a big TV. Except for Chris Mullin, who looked absent-minded, everyone else was paying attention to the game.

O'Neal was beside Li Zhi and said, "Who do you say will win the Eastern Conference Finals?" O'Neal was convinced of Rich, and the Warriors watched four Cavaliers vs Magic games. Li Zhidu successfully predicted the outcome and made the Warriors players shout gods.

As soon as O'Neill asked, the others also looked at Li Zhi with blank eyes. Li Zhi said: "Magic, we also watched the first few games, but the Cavaliers bench can't do it." ”

Crawford, who returned from injury, sighed: "I would like the Cavaliers to win, so that we can win the championship as easily as we did in the 2007 Finals, just kill James." ”

The corners of Jackson's and Barnes' mouths twitched when they heard this, and Li Zhi also rolled his eyes, and it was not us to defend against James.

James is a superman, more terrifying than Kobe. Kobe Bryant just exploded in scoring ability, and he couldn't finish shooting after finding a sense of play, and he could hit difficult shots, but if it was said that a player could play a role in a team, James was still powerful.

James can shoot suddenly, can assist and grab rebounds, surpasses Kobe Bryant in both shooting percentage and efficiency, and is also a big gate on the defensive end, not slow and strong, is the kind of player that any team wants to get. It's a pity that the rest of the Cavaliers are too bad, and all positions are weaknesses, so for the Warriors, the Cavaliers are easier to deal with than the Magic. The only weakness of the Magic is the point guard, but neither can the Warriors point guard.

The Magic squandered a match point when they didn't take advantage of a third-quarter lead in Game 5 at Cleveland, and today they will be looking to extend their strong home win as they attempt to reach the Finals for the first time since 1995. The Cavaliers saved a match point, and all they need is to continue their strong run at Orlando, and James will need more help from his teammates as he looks to continue his good performance.

Before the start of the game, Li Zhi said: "But I hope the Cavaliers win this game, because then we can get plenty of rest, isn't it good to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?" ”

Nick Young said one after another: "George is right, I'm still a little nervous, let me rest for a few more days......" Nick Young was slapped by Jackson before he finished speaking.

"Nervous, isn't it the finals?" Jackson said with a look that he had a championship ring and played the role of a surprise soldier in that Spurs. Milicic nodded, and O'Neill couldn't help but straighten his chest.

The game started, everyone was very focused, the Cavaliers fell behind 1:3 and there was no way back, they played like a rainbow at the beginning of the game, and the offensive end was very ferocious. West and Mowillem Moss combined for three three-pointers to open the game 9-3. Howard just scored the first 2+1, and the offensive wave on the Cavaliers' side came again, Mo Williams scored three points, James scored 2+1, "Big Z" scored two goals in succession, James scored 4 points with free throws, and the Cavaliers played a 17-2 super offensive lead of 18 points.

The big score is behind, the state of the Cavaliers is obviously different, and the smell of gunpowder on the court is also very strong, Howard grabbed the rebound with a big elbow and threw the "big Z", but the "big Z" couldn't bear it anymore, and pushed Howard behind his back, if the referee didn't arrive, the consequences might be unimaginable.

In the second quarter, Szzerbiak and Howard clashed again, and slapped Howard in the back, the Cavaliers obviously wanted to provoke Howard to eat another technical foul, Howard has already carried 5 technical fouls, and he will be banned if he eats again, but fortunately, Howard endured.

Li Zhi looked at the Cavaliers' measurements, and said with a secret smile, Howard didn't eat technical fouls on the Cavaliers this time, and the Warriors would definitely let him eat next time. Jackson and Barnes seemed to have thought of something, and looked at each other with passion.

The Magic withstood the pressure of the Cavaliers and fought to catch up, a wave of 8-0 narrowed the difference to within 10 points, James immediately stood up and scored 4 points in a row to stabilize the situation for the Cavaliers, and then the difference between the two teams has been hovering around 10 points.

At the end of the second quarter, the Magic played an 8-2 offensive run led by Howard to narrow the gap to 4 points, James scored 2 points from the free throw, and Lewis hit a 3-pointer after a mid-range shot, and the Cavaliers led by only 1 point at 56-55.

As a team aiming to win the championship, the Cavaliers' bench is also too poor to make people speechless, and they are completely inseparable from James.

Li Zhi compared this knight with the knight before he crossed over in his heart, and found that this little Zhan knight was not as strong as the old Zhan knight. At least that Cavaliers bench group has veterans like Wade and Korver.

In the second half, the Magic took advantage of the victory to chase down, and the whole team played 9-0 to overtake the Cavaliers, but the Cavaliers immediately played a 14-3 to give color. The two teams alternated leads throughout the third quarter.

In the final quarter, James, who was unwilling to fail, completely broke out, stepped forward and overtook the score with one person in a row, and the Cavaliers hit a 13-3 shockwave, leading by 11 points at one point.

In the last 2 minutes and 22 seconds, James dribbled through to the layup, causing Howard to foul and let the Monsters leave the court with six fouls, and the Magic was finally unable to recover, and the Cavaliers pulled back a game 112-102.

Nelson was happy that the Warriors were given more time to adjust. After watching the game, the Warriors players are also confident that although the Magic and James are both strong stars, the overall strength is still dominated by the Warriors.

The whole Warriors team now has the idea of winning the championship, this year's playoff teams are indeed relatively weak, and there are many unexpected factors, the Warriors are the tallest of the short, Gasol is injured, Yao Ming is injured, all kinds of factors come together, the Magic and the Cavaliers are not too strong, so that the Warriors team sees the hope of winning the championship.

The happiest is O'Neal, who not only defeated his old club Lakers, but also may win another championship, thinking that his 5 championships are close to Jordan, O'Neal can't help but grin.
