Chapter 618: Harden Kills the Warriors!

Memphis, Tennessee. Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info a city full of retro style, but also a city full of basketball culture.

The University of Memphis is also a veteran NCAA powerhouse, and the three teams were all capable of the existence of the Chinese men's basketball team.

The plane streaked over Memphis, and the Silver-Black Army landed in the city, where they will spend a week or so.

"And the grizzly bears are really old enemies." Duncan is already familiar with the city and has been there more than any other player.

In the morning, everyone had a simple warm-up training, and then held a simple meeting in front of the media.

In the afternoon, everyone strengthened their intensity and conducted full-court running physical training, and they couldn't ignore the Spurs' newly developed fast-transition offense because of the slow pace of playing with the Grizzlies, after all, everyone now knows the basics and basically knows how to beat the Grizzlies.

In the evening, everyone was fine, so they got together to watch the game, the league schedule was very reasonable, there were playoffs every day, everyone was eating vegetable salad with freshly squeezed juice, watching the game.

The Eastern Conference started first, and the Heat, who won the last game, continued to play the second game of the first round against the Hornets at home, and the Heat blossomed this time, scoring 72 points in the first half to build a 12-point lead. The Hornets couldn't get close in the second half, and the Heat won 115-103 to make the series 2-0.

Today, the Cavaliers and Pistons started the second game of the series in Cleveland, and the two sides were almost evenly matched in the first half, and in the third quarter, the Cavaliers continued to have a hot outside touch under the leadership of James and successfully opened the score and won the final victory, and the score also came to 2-0. After this game, James surpassed Jordan and tied Dennis Johnson in 16th all-time in total playoff games.

"James is still the same James, we have to peel off the skin if we want to touch him." Ginobili looked at the defensive level that was a notch lower in the East, if the Spurs were to defend, how could they give the Cavaliers such a chance to play such a wave of three-pointers in the third quarter.

The next thing is to see if the youngest team, the Trail Blazers, can change their lives, it seems that they still can't beat the old spicy Clippers, the Clippers at home ushered in the second meeting with the Trail Blazers series, the Clippers who are in better shape have been taking the lead from the beginning to take the initiative, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, they played an 11-2 offensive wave to establish a 15-point advantage in one fell swoop to lay the victory. In the end, the Clippers defeated the Trail Blazers 102-81 and took a 2-0 lead in the overall score.

However, these have nothing to do with the Spurs for the time being, according to Bonner, tomorrow to watch the third game of the Thunder play the Mavericks, the first two games between the two teams were tied 1:1, this is a lot of highlights, which is equivalent to observing the two main opponents of the Spurs in the next round.

You can also take a look at the three-point battle between the Warriors and the Rockets, but Jiang Haoran and others expressed their disinterest, because the Rockets have been abused by the Spurs many times, and the Warriors must be easy.

On April 22, after a rigorous training, it was time for the whole team to watch the game.

Dewey explained to the Spurs what is called Thunder basketball, and the Mavericks sat at home to start the third game of the first round of the playoffs with the Thunder, and the Thunder blossomed more in this game, they established a 10-point lead in the first half, and further extended the lead in the second half, sealing the victory early. In the end, the Thunder defeated the Mavericks 131-102 on the road and regained the series lead 2-1.

The Thunder hit 15 three-pointers as a team, and eight players on the team hit three-pointers. Fifteen three-pointers are the Thunder's record for three-pointers made in the playoffs, but the most terrifying thing is that 14 of those 15 three-pointers were made by Dewey, and the other outside shots only have two functions: defense and blocking.

"This team is a bit out of shape." Kyle Anderson thinks that there is still a team that can play like this, this is not a team at all, but the individual performance of the Wang Bang combination, everyone else is looking at the main attack, which is particularly obvious in the playoffs, Wei Shao and Du Shao's attack power is too strong, so it is not surprising that the two people with full firepower can play such a performance.

In the East, the Pacers 1-2 Raptors.

The Rockets gave everything they could today, almost desperately trying to win this game at home, and it turned out that they did it, and the Rockets, who were 2-0 down, returned home to play the third game of the first round against the Warriors, and Curry continued to miss the game due to injury. The Rockets blossomed in the first half, taking a 17-point lead at one point.

However, the Warriors found their groove and gradually narrowed the score and managed to take a one-point lead thanks to Ian Clarke's counter-attack score with 10.6 seconds left on the game time. However, Harden hit a step-back jumper with 2.7 seconds left to help the Rockets eventually beat the Warriors 97-96 to tie the overall score to 1-2.

"Quasi-lore, the bearded man still has a hand!" Jiang Haoran touched his not thick beard, and he was able to fight the Warriors, and the Rockets, who were eighth in the West, showed their strong resilience.

These games that changed their home court also allowed the Spurs players to see the strong fighting of the home team after changing their home court, some things can really be fought down with will and hard work, not that the strength can be crushed all the way, or that sentence, there is no weak team in the NBA.

On April 23, Jiang Haoran entered the player tunnel of the FedEx Arena with "Hope Sky" in his headphones, with a relaxed expression and a constant hum in his mouth.

On the Grizzlies' side, Carter, Randolph and others were expressionless, as if they were playing this as the last game of their careers.

'It's going to be a very intense game, we don't want to be chased back, so let's do it.' Duncan gathered everyone together at the door of the locker room and roared.

"Come on, go home and eat early!" Jiang Haoran said more practically to Simmons and other substitutes.

The FedEx Arena was full of white seas, and the Memphis fans wanted to give the home team the strongest support, shouting shockingly, and slogans such as "Half-Man and Half God" and "Birdman Takeoff" also appeared among the fans.

"Let's see the tenacity of the Spurs." There are also some Spurs fans, and the forums are cheering for Spurs.

After the process, the game officially began, and the Spurs, who had been training in Memphis for three days, were able to get into the groove early, Leonard tried to shoot a ball first, and the No. 3 tactic passed through three passes to Leonard's hands and stepped back to shoot a jumper.
