In this way, the shape of the playoffs so far is relatively clear.

The Lakers swept the Mavericks and the Magic swept the Hawks, and the two teams have already confirmed their tickets to the division finals. For the rest of the teams, the Eastern Cavaliers are 2-3 behind the Green Shirts, while the Western Conference has the Warriors 3-1 ahead of the Suns.

Some people expected that this year's Green Shirts would wash away last year's shame, and they would go further in this year's playoffs, but few people talked about the fact that the Green Shirts were so fierce that they chased the Eastern Conference boss Cavaliers and were inextricably separated, and they actually won in the fifth game of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

The one who hurt the most from losing the "Battle of Kings Mountain" was Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, who did not habitually leave the court immediately after Game 5, but gave an interview to a local media outlet who said that the last two home games were a world away from what they expected from the team, and he was disappointed with his team.

"The last two home games have been a world away from what we have come to expect from the team, and our fans and supporters deserve a better game than this, and they have simply disappointed us, and this kind of performance makes people believe that they can win the championship," Gilbert said. ”

In order to bring a championship to the city of Cleveland, in order to allow James to realize the championship dream of the Cavaliers, Gilbert has not been stingy with a penny in recent years, and he also spent a lot of money to bring in O'Neal last season, and has matched several star players for this team.

James did not disappoint Gilbert in the regular season, he won the first MVP of his career with a momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers, which was a game in the mouth of Chamberlain, which showed how powerful the little emperor is.

However, in the playoffs, his appearance on the court was a big disappointment. In Game 5, James shot just 3-of-14 from the field and scored 15 points from the free throw line.

In contrast, the little emperor was rather calm, saying in his press conference after the battle of Tianwang Mountain that he believed the team would bounce back at TD Garden and drag the series to Game 7, where they still had a good chance of beating the Celtics at home.

But this is just wishful thinking on the part of the Cavaliers, in fact, the Green Shirts don't want to wait that long, they know that as a veteran team, experience and stability are their magic weapons, but they have a fatal flaw, and that is the physical disadvantage of the aging guide.

The further the Greenshirts dragged back, the more detrimental the shape would be to them. So, they try to end the fight in the next game.

Of course, the Celtics also have their confidence, and their confidence is a healthy Garnett.

Just last year, the Celtics lost 3-4 to the Magic in the Eastern Conference Finals and failed to complete the title defense, one of the biggest reasons was Garnett's absence due to injury, and today, Garnett is on the court and is healthier than ever. Under the leadership of the Wolves, the Celtics defeated the Cavaliers away without being favored, and they have already won the match point!

Although the Celtics won the championship in 08, the Celtics' FMVP is Pierce, but the real core of this team is Garnett.

Green Shirts head coach Reaves said: "If you have your star on the court, this game is different. His every move can move the team. ”

In addition to Garnett, their other strength is that this series has been very constrained against James, Reaves said: "We have a lot of interest in him, I mean we need someone in front of him. He's going to do some incredible attacks, so we have to stop him, even hold him off, and win the game. ”

In addition to Garnett and James, the combined play of the Big Three was the key to the Celtics' victory, they only scored 37 points in the loss of Game 3, but contributed 64 points in yesterday's game!

"We have a lot of experience and that's why we play well." "When we lose, it's because we're too old, and it's all about the results, and sometimes it makes sense, but more often than not, I want to see our experienced side," Rivers said. ”

Experience, this is one of the advantages of the Celtics, especially Garnett, who faced an inexperienced opponent in the playoffs - Jamison, the two sides are evenly matched, in the playoffs, Garnett overtook the opponent in an all-round way, contributing an average of 18 per game. 2 points, and there are 12 more. 2 rebounds.

The day after the Cavaliers' loss to the Celtics, the Warriors returned home to face the Suns at Oracle Center.

The Suns have been pushed to the brink, they have no way back, and in fact, they have understood that their trip is coming to an end this year. However, the Nash are not reconciled, they still have to fight no matter what!

But as fans have speculated, on the Warriors' home court, against the Warriors with a full lineup, it will be too difficult for them to win.

The Suns started the game with a combination of inside and outside, the Warriors' first attack was ineffective, Chamberlain turned and hit the iron under the basket, Oden picked up the rebound and passed to Nash, and the Suns began to attack.

Nash gave the ball to Oden first, but in the face of Ibaka's entanglement and Chamberlain's help defense, Oden had a hard time breathing, let alone shooting? He could only pass the ball to Xiao Si on the outside, but Xiao Si's shot also turned into an iron.

Back at home, the Warriors' offense was extraordinarily aggressive, but a little too aggressive, leading to repeated mistakes after the opening, and finally it was Nash who scored two points to open the game.

In just three and a half minutes of the opening game, the Warriors made four turnovers! The Suns played steadily under the command of Nash, and played a small 7-0 surge in a row, stretching the score advantage to double digits for a while.

Suns fans are also quite die-hard, because considering that this game may be their team's last game of the season, many fans have traveled thousands of miles from the inland desert of Phoenix to the coastal city of Oakland to support.

Seeing their own team play such a good start, the fans were excited, and the crazy screams almost suppressed the cheers of the Warriors fans.

Nelson Sr. hurriedly called a timeout, and then he motioned to Billups to hold back the tempo and play the usual style, focusing on Chamberlain, but using the outside as a battery to respond.

After the timeout returned, Billups distributed the ball reasonably, Iverson and Jackson successively held the ball and jumpers, because Chamberlain's main attack attracted the bag, the outside players always found open opportunities, and the shooting rate was high, and the Warriors slowly caught up with the score in the middle of the first quarter.

The score of the two sides continued to be stalemate, and the Suns focused their defense on Chamberlain, but the three points on the outside were blown up by the Warriors, Chamberlain's strong attack was just a feint, Billups always passed the ball to him first, but in the end, it was the outside players who shot.

Gentry didn't make adjustments in time, he was scared by Chamberlain in front of him, especially in the last game, and he believed that as long as Chamberlain was restrained, their opponents would have to kneel.

But Gentry forgot that Iverson, who played average in the playoffs, was once the league's top scorer, Billups was once a super point guard who could win the championship by controlling the Workers' Army, and West was one of the top five scoring guards in the league!

The Suns' carelessness on the outside laid the groundwork for the Warriors' guards to play well throughout the game.

In the second half, the Warriors' outside offense became more and more unscrupulous, and Iverson finally showed his fangs again, regardless of his partner Billups or West, he insisted on his offensive nature, his fast break made it impossible for the Suns to keep up, and his breakthrough disrupted the Suns' defense.

In the face of Nash's defense, Iverson suddenly leaned over and sprinted, Nash retreated, Iverson turned and changed direction, passed Nash all the way into the penalty area, jumped up and threw the shot.

Barbossa was replaced, and Iverson was murderous, and he rushed inside directly when he got to the ball on the outside. Barbossa is known as the Brazilian lightning, the speed is naturally fast and there is nothing to say, the energetic calf muscles are tense and retreats, but he retreats too fast, Iverson brakes halfway, pulls up and shoots, hits!

The Suns' Iverson unfolded the bag, but the answer was already red-eyed, he rushed in from the middle of Barbossa and Dudley, jumped into the restricted area, and threw again!

"Bag clip! Bag clip! Bag clip! Give me a bag for him! Gentry's shrill voice rang out again, only this time he switched targets, from Chamberlain to Iverson.

At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led by one point at 25-24, and Iverson scored 14 points on 5-of-7 shooting.

In the second quarter, the Warriors' offense became more and more fierce, while the Suns played more scattered.

Nash struggled to control the ball, and he glued the restless Suns together as a whole, constantly sending wonderful passes, but the Warriors' outside play a touch, as long as they dared to contain Chamberlain, Chamberlain dared to share the ball.

Iverson, West and Curry erupted in quick succession, and the three of them teamed up to stop the Suns with a 15-0 run midway through the quarter.

On the offensive end, Nash plays very restrained, his main task is passing, and scoring is based on free throws.

Nash is right to do this, because the Suns have never been a resilient team, especially now that the team is divided, with Smalls wanting to leave, Richardson wanting to get a big contract, Dragic wanting a chance, and Oden wanting to coach the team.

The Suns are so dangerous, the players are either passive, or overly positive, some get the ball and pass it directly, and some are reckless, so if Nash is not in control, the team would have collapsed long ago.

After hitting the free throw, Nash assisted Richardson for a three-pointer and strengthened the breakaway, forcing Billups to be fouled three times late and had to go to rest.

Old Nelson is deeply helpless with Nash, the Suns are finished, but Nash has single-handedly supported this broken ship to continue sailing, if the league players are compared to navigators, then Nash is the best captain!

In the face of the Warriors' indiscriminate bombardment, Nash responded calmly, and he posed 'he is strong, he is strong, and the breeze blows the hills; He let him cross horizontally, the bright moon shone on the river's posture, and the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, blocking the onslaught of the warriors again and again.

In the second half of the second quarter, the two teams invariably strengthened their defense, and Nash wanted to use the defense to polish the flamboyant hearts of his teammates because the team was too impetuous. The Warriors, on the other hand, found that the offense could not drag down the Warriors, so they hoped to strangle the opponent with defense.

In this way, the first half was played, and the Suns and Warriors played a more reasonable score, and the Warriors led by 6 points at 52-43.

However, Iverson opened the curtain of the second half with two three-pointers, and the answer was that today's desire to attack was extraordinarily strong, as soon as he started, he stole Barbossa's pass, rushed to the front court with the ball, and Barbossa, who returned to the defense, went all the way to the basket.

Everyone thought that Iverson would attack the hoop, but after rushing to the three-point line, Iverson faced Barbossa, who was in front of him, and actually came back with a rifle, turned around and hit the three-point line, and turned around to shoot a three-point shot!

Another 30 seconds later, Chamberlain picked up the rebound, the Warriors attacked, and after a few balls, Nash commanded his teammates to block the defense.

Seeing this, Iverson wanted to return the ball, jumped from outside the three-point line, and scored three points again with absolute confidence.

These two consecutive three-pointers stretched the score gap to double digits, and the fans were conquered by him, Iverson's No. 3 jersey flew all over the stadium, like a battle flag, and the call for 'MVP' was deafening!

Iverson's two three-pointers are indeed shocking, because no matter when, Iverson's three-point shot is not his strong point, but today, he suddenly broke out, which is a big surprise for his fans.
