Although the Thunder team still has players such as Adams, Kanter, and Sabonis on the inside, and Oladipo on the outside, the overall team firepower is completely incomparable to before, and in this case, Westbrook can only do his best every game and charge in the Spurs' defensive encirclement.

The Spurs have been very consistent this season, and after replacing Danny Green with Chinese player Liu Hao as the starting point guard, the Spurs' three-point shooting rate has improved significantly, and the three-point shooting per game is also very consistent.

Westbrook scored at least 30 points per game in the series against the Spurs and had two triple-doubles, but only one home win for the Thunder.

The Spurs still used a steady play to defeat the reckless Thunder 4-1, and Liu Hao's three-point shooting rate in this series was as high as 62%!

Houston Rockets (3) - Minnesota Timberwolves (6)

As the Western Youth Army a few years ago, the Rockets players are no longer young, but the Timberwolves followed in the footsteps of the Rockets and began to show their aura in the West.

The Young Praetorian Guards, consisting of Downs, Xu Zhibin, Wiggins, LaVine, and Rubio, have set off a big wave this season, starting from 1-5 at the beginning of the season, and have been catching up all the way to the sixth place in the West! These energetic young players are starting to live up to their potential. And Chinese player Xu Zhibin is the team's biggest discovery, averaging 15.5 points, 10.1 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game, ranking fourth among the rookies of this year's Super Platinum Generation.

In the first four games, both sides held their home courts, and the Rockets won two games in a row at home with a score of 99-89, 96-84 to take a 2-0 lead.

But the Timberwolves, who returned to their home court, won two games in a row amid the wolf howls of the tsunami, and stubbornly pulled the score to 2-2 with a score of 90-87 and 102-95.

In the fifth battle of Tianwang Mountain, Chinese player Xu Zhibin won 11 frontcourt rebounds away, blasted Capela into scum of the Rockets' interior player, and played the most wonderful personal representative battle this season, with 34 points, 19 rebounds and 5 blocks to lead the team to victory! After this battle, some people have already compared Xu Zhibin to Kevin Garnett and Kevin Love!

But in the sixth game of the game where he was eliminated after losing, Harden showed a superstar appearance, shooting 8 of 11 three-pointers in the game, scoring 45 points, and 14 assists and 6 steals, leading the Rockets to a 21-2 wave in the second half, leading the Rockets to defeat the opponent 111-98 away and snatch the victory in the key game.

In the seventh game, Xu Zhibin of the Timberwolves stepped on Beverley's foot when he grabbed a rebound in the second quarter of the game, although the Timberwolves players protested that Beverley did it on purpose, but the referee did not show any punishment. When Xu Zhibin went off the court, the Timberwolves still led by 8 points at 35-27, but then were beaten 9-0 by the Rockets to overtake the score.

After that, the young players of the Timberwolves were a little aggressive, and LaVine collided in the air when he was about to dunk Harden, and also left the court with an injury, so the process of the game was completely in the hands of the Rockets.

108-98, the Rockets relied on home-court advantage to win 4-3 in a best-of-seven game!

Although the Rockets won, the Timberwolves won the future, and at the end of Game 7, the league punished Beverley for making a malicious step on Xu Zhibin, and was sentenced to a severe punishment of 5 games!

Los Angeles Clippers (4) - Portland Trail Blazers (5)

Although Paul went to the Celtics and played the best season of his career, the Clippers were not discouraged. Isaiah Thomas, Avery Bradley, Jaylen Brown have all contributed immensely to the team here, with one less superstar but one more practical or functional player.

After Paul left, Griffin began to take on the responsibility of holding up the whole team, and broke out this season, averaging 25.5 points and 13.8 rebounds per game, of which rebounds ranked second in the league!

Although the Trail Blazers are Lillard, the Clippers' bench depth has completely exploded the Trail Blazers. As often happens in games, the main players of both sides are inseparable on the court, but as soon as the bench lineup comes on, the Clippers quickly widen the score gap!

With a clear gap between the benches, the Clippers defeated the Trail Blazers 4-1 to advance to the second round of the playoffs.

After beating the New York Knicks 4-1, Paul, who broke the fate of the division finals, knelt on the court after the game and burst into tears! How many people know how much pressure Paul has been under over the years!
