At halftime, Nelson Sr. analyzed the Hornets' flank weaknesses, and then told the players that the third quarter focused on Jamison's position, let Jamison focus on the third quarter, and in the fourth quarter, depending on the situation, if the Hornets die but not stiff, then let Chamberlain finish them.

At the beginning of the second half, Chamberlain sat on the bench, and the Warriors replaced Evans and Ibaka on the inside, and Jamison could also play inside, so he could still maintain a high advantage.

The ball possession of the Hornets, Paul saw that Chamberlain was not there, and with a big wave of his hand, it was a strong attack on the inside.

The Warriors weren't stupid, and when they saw Paul make this gesture, they subconsciously shrank the defense into the restricted area, and they were fooled, Paul took possession of the ball to the frontcourt, passed the ball to Peja in the free throw area, who got the ball and made a jumper and dropped two points.

Iverson arrived in the frontcourt, he beckoned Jamison to come up to cover, Paul calmly stuck Jamison staring at Iverson, who broke through, Paul followed, but mainly cut off Iverson's pass to Jamison.

Sure enough, as soon as Iverson passed, Paul stole the ball with a quick wave, the Hornets counterattacked, the Warriors defended, and the fast break did not work, so Paul planned a positional battle.

Okafor was crushed by Chamberlain for two games, and now he finally found an opportunity for Chamberlain to get off the court, so he naturally asked for the ball on the inside.

Although Okafor is known for his defense and rebounding, he is the man who can compete with Howard for the 2004 No. 1 round, and he has two brushes on the offensive end.

Paul passed the ball in to Okafor, who wanted to use his height to bully Evans, and he shook his shoulders and made a couple of breakthrough feints, but Evans, a veteran of the defense, was unmoved.

In this way, Okafor couldn't shake Evans away, so he could only choose to attack, he turned around and hit Evans' lower abdomen with his ass, and pushed it in rhythmically.

Evans smiled innocently, then stuck his knee in the crook of the other man's leg, one hand on his back, and the other hand crept on the soft flesh of Okafor's back.

Think about Evans's image, think about his muscles comparable to Big Ben, this pinch is quite tasteful, Okafor screamed directly, and the trembling ball in his hand was not steady, and was pushed out by Evans with a probing hand.

Ariza received the ball on the flank, and when he saw that the ball was broken, he immediately rushed up to grab it, and then roared, dribbled to the penalty area, and was about to dunk it from the ground.

Ibaka is also waiting on the side, with Chamberlain there, his blocking can't be shown, and now that Chamberlain is not there, he has to show his blocking skills.

Facing the basketball that Ariza lifted above his head, Ibaka jumped up quickly, and waved his big hand, like an overwhelming cloud, directly enveloped the top of Ariza head, so that the arm waved down, and the ball was pressed down with a bang.

The block was successful, this time the Warriors got the ball, Iverson immediately planned a counterattack, he still chose to use Jamison's cover to break through, and at the last moment the ball was given to Jamison, who got the ball and turned nimbly, went around the middle of the wing, and jumped up to make a mid-range shot.

Nelson Sr. is really a treacherous and cunning coach, he arranged Jamison to attack in the third quarter, and the Hornets were not prepared, because Jamison has been very low-key since he came to the Warriors, and suddenly he was full of firepower, and the Hornets flanks were in a hurry.

But after reacting, under the command of Paul, the Hornets immediately stabilized their position, and after the whole line was pulled away, Paul broke through Iverson to make a successful throw.

After that, Okafor blocked Jamison's layup, and the Hornets fought back successfully, and Paul came with a half-court long pass for Ariza to dunk.

Relying on the margin of points achieved in the first half, the Warriors maintained the lead, but under Paul's pursuit, this advantage became smaller and smaller.

With 3:13 left in the quarter, West was substituted and Iverson completed his mission and went off the bench.

After the game, the Warriors attacked, West launched a fast attack, Paul's body fell a little, so the defense was no longer so resolute, the two were entangled in the front court penalty area, and West suddenly turned around and passed Paul.

Paul was shocked and hurriedly retreated to interfere with West's dribbling, but the mad dog was waiting for Paul, and as soon as the two approached, West hit him hard, hitting Paul directly, knocking him down and lower, while West took the opportunity to jump up and end with a dunk.

The referee didn't blow the whistle, and Paul was so angry that he rushed up to the referee to theorize and roared: "What is this not an offensive foul?" Look at me, look at me getting elbowed by him! He didn't just hit me, he made small moves! You don't blow the whistle like this? Is this the fairness of the competition? ”

The referee was so impatient with him that he blew the whistle and gave Paul a technical foul.

The Warriors fans at the scene were happy and got up and screamed, which made Paul even angrier, but the result was like this, Peja went up and grabbed Paul, and if he continued to clash with the referee, Paul would be sent off. And if Paul is sent off, then the Hornets can directly raise the white flag and surrender.

In fact, the Hornets have played very resolutely in the last two games, and they have suffered from David West's injury, otherwise, Paul has played so well in the playoffs, as long as he is given a David West, he can revitalize the whole team!

With this technical foul, the Warriors hit both free throws and then went on to attack and then go on the offensive back, and at the end of the third quarter, they still led by seven points at 77-70.

At the start of the fourth quarter, the energetic Chamberlain appeared to fight again!

Seeing this scene, Hornets fans were full of grief, and they already had a hunch that the team was going to lose in the fourth quarter.

As a result, the fans still underestimated the tenacity of the Hornets, or rather, they underestimated Paul's awesomeness, and Paul was directly blown a T by the referee, which greatly stimulated his fighting spirit.

At the start of the fourth quarter, Paul stole West's ball, and he surged all the way to the frontcourt, leading the court for a layup.

Then, West didn't believe in evil and pushed sideways, he and Paul started a muscular collision, and Chamberlain was impatient and took the initiative to ask for the ball.

After getting the ball, Chamberlain looked at the hoop, held the ball in his lower abdomen with both hands, bent over to break through, and when he saw this, Okafor quickly stepped back.

In this way, as soon as Okafor retreated, Chamberlain jumped up directly and waved his arm to shoot.

Okafor and substitute Landry jumped up from the flank to block Oxlade-Chamberlain, who shot at the ball and landed quickly before sprinting past the duo and heading into the box.

At this time, Okafor and Landry were hanging in the air, and when the two of them looked back, they saw Chamberlain rushing into the penalty area and jumping up to pick up the rebound that rebounded, and got up with a violent dunk!

On the Hornets' side, Paul was really unguardable, and after he rushed to the frontcourt, West subconsciously stepped back to cut off his passing route, but Paul jumped up again outside the three-point line and hit another three-point shot!

After that, Chamberlain was also full of firepower, he went to the front court to ask for the ball in the high position again, Okafor came up close to the defense, Chamberlain retreated against him, and then changed direction to break through, one step Chamberlain put away the ball, rushed to the basket in three steps, and waved his long arm and was a violent dunk!

With 5 minutes and 46 seconds left in the quarter, after West's shot missed, Chamberlain jumped up and made a dunk in the air.

Chamberlain's performance wasn't over yet, as he then singled out in the penalty area and drew Landry to the pack, and he forced a foul on the latter, making two free throws and two hits.

Then, the Warriors engaged in positional battles, and Chamberlain hit a mid-range shot, and the Warriors went on an 8-0 run to take a 92-80 advantage in one fell swoop.

The Hornets were disrupted on the inside and were forced to call two timeouts in a minute, but they couldn't stop the Warriors' offense, and Chamberlain continued to shoot the ball and hit one of two free throws to extend the advantage to 13 points.

With 3 minutes and 20 seconds left in the game, the Hornets scored for the first time in nearly 4 minutes, after Ariza and Peja's shots were blocked by Chamberlain!

With one minute left in the game, the Warriors still maintained a double-digit lead, but the Hornets refused to lose two straight games, and Paul broke through a layup to narrow the gap to single digits, after which Okafor was encouraged by Paul to take advantage of Chamberlain's opportunity to be led out of the interior by Paul, he scored consecutive baskets to chase the score to 91-99.

But the Hornets ran out of time to chase after Curry drew a foul on Peja from beyond the three-point line, hitting three free throws to hold a double-digit lead at 102-91 with 30 seconds left in the game to seal the victory.

In this way, the Warriors won two consecutive playoff games at home and basically booked a ticket to the Western Conference semifinals.

Other teams are in the thick of the competition, and as the playoffs progress, some of the regular season awards are being announced.

The first to come out was the Best Coach Award.

The Warriors won the league's first record this season, winning a full seven more games than last season, and the old Nelson also had a chance to win this honor, but in the end, the old coach still lost to Thibodeau, the most popular in the league's coaching staff, and gave up the honor of best coach.

In doing so, Thibodeau became the first Bulls coach in 15 years to win the accolade since Phil "Zen Master" Jackson in 1995-96.

In addition to this, Thibodeau also equalled Paul Westfale's rookie coach's winning record set in 1993-94.

In his first season as head coach, Thibodeau led the Bulls to a league-best 62-20 record, tying the Bulls' most regular season wins since 1997-98. It also improved 21 wins from the previous season's 41-41 regular-season record.

Thibodeau is a coach known for his defense, and after coaching the Bulls, the team limited opponents to 91 per game. 3 points in 2nd place in the league; And 59 times in the regular season have opponents scored less than their average points per game, and the Bulls have a staggering 52-7 record in those 59 games.

This season, Thibodeau has won the Eastern Conference Coach of the Month three times, in January, March and April.

The Bulls won their last eight regular-season games in April, allowing them to retain home-court advantage throughout the playoffs and end the regular season with nine straight wins.

The Bulls also gave their head coach a lot of encouragement, and the Eastern Conference playoffs also played two games, the Bulls faced the Pacers, and the Warriors won two in a row, and Rose continued to play efficiently, averaging 32 points, 6 assists, and 5 rebounds per game, becoming the most watched star in the playoffs after Chamberlain.
