Cleveland Cavaliers (2) - Atlanta Hawks (3)

Love, James, Irving vs Howard, Millsap, Schroeder

Almost a 3v3 game, more than 60% of the team's data, are almost covered by their respective three players, although Howard and Millsap are seasoned veterans, but Schroeder is still a little immature, although he performed well in the regular season, and the first round of the playoffs beat the Bulls also played steadily, but was dwarfed by Irving's wonderful performance.

The Cavaliers came to Atlanta after winning 2 games at home, Howard said that he wanted to give the Cavaliers a little color to see, and sure enough, in the third game, Howard was in the Cavaliers' interior line. Because Thompson is only 2.08 meters tall, coupled with Howard's excellent jumping, the Cavaliers' interior line is useless, and even at some point, the Cavaliers are using James to defend Howard, and the turning point of the game occurred in the fourth quarter, when the Cavaliers were still trailing by 8 points at 78-86, and Howard, who had already cut 23 points and 17 rebounds, got tangled with Kevin Love under the basket, which led to a conflict, and the two were both sent off. Without the pressure of the inside, the Cavaliers quickly relaxed a lot, although Love was sent off, but the replacement Frye did not live up to the team's expectations, and contributed in the fourth quarter, shooting two key 3-pointers to help the Cavaliers take the lead on the road, thus leading 3-0!

After the game, the league did not chase further penalties for Howard and Love to be sent off, which also allowed the two players to play in the fourth game, and the suffocating Howard began to kill all sides in the first quarter of the fourth game, hitting all three attacks in the first quarter, and playing twice 2+1, and let Thompson 2 fouls in less than 3 minutes of the opening game.

Seeing that the momentum was not good, Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue immediately responded, using chopping tactics, Howard's 54% free throw shooting rate showed its power, and after being fouled by several water cooler managers of the Cavaliers in a row, Howard made a total of 4 of 12 free throws, and the Cavaliers also took the opportunity to play a wave of counterattacks to chase the score closer.

When the score between the two sides was anxious into the second half of the fourth quarter, James took over the game, first forced two layups to break through to the basket, then a three-point shot, and immediately assisted Love to hit a three-pointer, leading the Cavaliers to play a 10-0 attack wave in one and a half minutes, pulling the score away in one fell swoop, and finally defeating the Hawks 96-92 on the road, thus defeating the Hawks 4-0 and meeting the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals!

Western Conference Playoffs Second Round:

Golden State Warriors (1) - Los Angeles Clippers (4)

In the first game of the Warriors, everyone fell through the glasses, the Clippers' Avery Bradley stared at Klay Thompson, allowing Tang Shen to hand over an embarrassing answer of 1 in 10 three-point shots, while Isaiah Thomas and JJ Redick were catching up with the hot hand, and the powerful firepower made Durant and Curry also a little unable to deal with it, plus Griffin and Jordan Jr. played on the inside, and the away Clippers won 107-102 against the Warriors, which surprised everyone.

But how can the Warriors sit back and watch the other party spread wild on their own turf, in the second game, Thompson took the lead in setting an example, 5 of 6 three-pointers in the first quarter, plus Curry and Durant shot 5 of 7 3-pointers, the Warriors hit 10 three-pointers in the first quarter, and led the Clippers by 23 points at 44-21 in a single quarter!

Without Paul's command, the Clippers didn't know how to play on the court in this situation, even though Rivers kept changing the tactics on the court, but the Warriors still managed to finish the game in the middle of the third quarter, and they had a lead of as many as 35 points over the Clippers! After winning the second home court, going to Los Angeles with a score of 1-1 still has a lot of pressure on the Warriors!

Coming to the away side, the Warriors' Thompson played averagely, but Curry opened his hand, relying on the blocking and dismantling of interior players, hitting one after another difficult three-pointers, although the Clippers' firepower is still not weak, but in the fourth quarter, Durant began to take over the offensive initiative, and Jaylen Brown, who was on the opposite defense, was humiliated by Durant, and the Warriors successfully won the first game on the road, with a 2-1 oversized score.

At the beginning of the fourth game, the Clippers played the court, the two teams played nearly 4 minutes in the opening game, and the score was 3-2, a football score, which shows the strength of the defense of the two teams on the court.

The Clippers dominated the game in the first half and led the Warriors by seven points at halftime, 56-49. But in the second half, in the face of the Warriors' sudden acceleration, the Clippers began to have problems with their physical strength that had been consumed a lot in the first half, and the Warriors' shooting hit the heart of the Clippers.

With a 4-1 scoreline, the Warriors advance to the Western Conference Finals and await the winner between the Spurs and Rockets.

San Antonio Spurs (2) - Houston Rockets (3)

The Spurs entered the Western Conference semifinals against the Rockets, marking the entry of three of the four Chinese players in the NBA this year into the division finals, easily breaking the curse of two-time scoring champion Tracy McGrady.

In addition to these three players, Xu Zhibin's Timberwolves also entered the playoffs, which has to be said that this also means that Chinese players are no longer simple bench players in the NBA.

The Spurs have always been the bitter master of the Rockets, and this year is no exception, in the first game between the two teams, Leonard's death-winding defense made Harden miserable, not only the opportunity to shoot and the space were locked by the opponent, but also it was difficult to deceive Leonard with the move of touching porcelain.

The Rockets are completely a team with Harden as the offensive starting point, after Harden was locked by Leonard, the overall strength of the Rockets was greatly reduced, although Harden played well in 1 or 2 games in the later games, but the 21.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists in the entire series were far worse than the 28.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 8.9 assists in the whole season!

When it came to the decisive battle, people found out how useless Morey's data was, and when it was reflected on the court, it was Capela who was beaten by the 37-year-old Gasol, and Ariza's defense was completely blown up by Liu Hao's three-point shot, which Morey called a hole!

The Spurs swept the Rockets by a surprising 4-0 to reach the Western Conference Finals, playing a lot of pundits who thought it would take seven games to tell the difference. (To be continued.) )
