On May 3, 2017, America's sports media were waiting to see if the league would impose a suspension.

It's been more than a day since the Spurs and Warriors' Western Conference semifinals, and Popovich's angry remarks have won the sympathy of many.

The heat of the game has even overshadowed G1 for the Rockets and Clippers.

Amerika's fans saw the Clippers win easily, oh, and turned their heads to start "if" if the Spurs could overturn the four-star Warriors.

Many sports media have expected that the league will not punish you, and it was not uncommon in the past to step up, anyway, the star always has to land, and if you can't beat you, you will be down!

The Spurs have also eaten such dividends, and this time it is the Warriors' turn to take a bite...

There was no penalty notice for a long time, and sure enough, the alliance finally just made an announcement without pain:

"The league is committed to protecting all players, and from next season there will be new provisions."

There is indeed no exclusive clause before this, and the NBA league has made it clear that it will punish malicious stepping feet, but the Warriors will not impose additional suspension penalties this time according to the existing rules.

Before the G2 game between the two sides, the league made such a decision, and the Spurs were infuriated, and Popovich was incompetent and furious, and could not change any facts except continue to spray scum Pachuria.

The stepping incident has finally come to an end, the Warriors have made a profit, Amerika's ball critics have stopped pretending, and no one is optimistic about the Spurs anymore.

This kind of controversial event is naturally indispensable to Stephen A-Smith, the announcement of the league in the morning has just come out, and in the afternoon ESPN's program, this big mouth sprayed the Warriors:

"Scum Pachulia ruined a great series, and G1 has proven that the Spurs can play against the Warriors!"

"It's not the way to show your team dominance, look at Kayce's Clippers, 73-16, 16-0 in the playoffs, 68-68 last season, and 73-73 in the Western Conference finals."

"If you want to be a GOAT, you have to speak with your strength, and even if the Warriors lose G1, they have six games to go, so they can adjust in their stride."

"Even if the Warriors win the championship this year, I won't forget their incompetence in the playoffs, which is not in line with people's expectations of a championship."

Max Kellerman did not disagree with his partner this time, and also added two sentences:

"If nothing is expected, the Warriors will sweep the Spurs to reach the Western Conference Finals, but I don't like them, it has nothing to do with the stepping incident, Kayce is stronger, the Clippers have more bench depth."

"I don't like these off-the-beaten-track moves, and the Warriors can't earn my respect."

Molly Krim, as the host, felt that the more the two talked, the more biased they became, and hurriedly reminded them:

"Don't forget that there is a Cavaliers game tonight, does the Menglong have a chance to win an away game?"

Hearing the question, Stephen A. Smith restrained his emotions for a moment, and then whispered:

"It's a shame that the Dragons won't win, LeBron James will make it to the Finals, but this year's championship still belongs to the Western Conference team."

"I don't want to see that outcome, but basketball doesn't lie, and teams are stronger in the West."

“...”

This year, most fans are only interested in the Western Conference Finals, and as for the Finals, everyone doesn't care.

Except for Cleveland local fans who still believe that LeBron James can lead the team to break the curse, the vast majority of fans feel that the championship is out of luck.

No one is stupid, and even the brainless fans and sports media know that the Clippers and Warriors have the strength to crush the teams in the Eastern Conference.

LeBron James' heat dropped, and even with another Eastern Conference semifinals, the heat was not high.

At 119:130, the Celtics won the offensive battle again, and the series score came to 2:0.

Griffin's performance was decent, and under Coach Stevens' system, the ball was not concentrated, and almost everyone was in a state of bravery.

The surface brothers were aggrieved and rarely reached the Eastern Conference semifinals, but no one cared about his performance.

Only local fans are still dreaming that the team can reach the finals, and the melon-eating crowd has long forgotten about him.

Without the platform of the Clippers and Li Ze's traffic, Griffin's superstar dream was completely shattered.

It was rare to encounter an interview with a TNT reporter, and as a result, as soon as he heard the question, Griffin was even more unhappy:

"Blake, do you think Chris has a chance to beat Kayce?"

“...”

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people in the training gym, Griffin would want to slap his ass and walk away, this is the Celtics' training gym!

...

In the semifinals, it was basically a game every other day, leaving not much time for the team to adjust, and for the Clippers, there was no need to adjust at all.

Coach De Nagro just felt that it was useless to do a lot of pre-match preparation.

He thought too highly of James Harden's level, and thought that star players would improve their stats in the playoffs, but when they came to this round of the series, the stats did not rise but fell, and they fell a little more...

During the afternoon training session on May 3, the Clippers even canceled tactical drills and replaced them with stretching activities.

Coach De Nagro traveled the whole way, and the assistant coach was responsible for leading the activities.

It's good to win, but in this year's playoffs, many players' stats have shrunk, with Tucker playing more than half of his minutes, and Ingles doing the same.

Some people suffer losses, and some people make profits, and Jokic's stats have risen again.

During the regular season, he averaged 16.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game, shooting 57.8% from the field and 35.6% from three-point range.

In the playoffs, the numbers have shrunk slightly, but it is still very easy to contribute 10 points and 8 rebounds in a game.

After staying in Ameica for almost three years, the white fat man's spoken language has finally improved, and there are not too many problems in daily communication.

Championship teams always dig up some inspirational stories of role players, and the Clippers are no exception.

Fans who follow the Clippers are aware of Reggie Bullock's hairstyle, and Fox Sports has also reported on Bullock's advocacy for minorities.

I thought Jokic also had a story on him, and the second-round show played such data, so how hard it would take!

It's just that with the continuous interviews this season, Fox Sports is dead set on the white fat man in front of him.

"The playoffs are no different from the regular season, I just have to do a good rebound and put Kayce's pass in the basket to make a double-double."

"I love basketball, but I miss my horse farm in Serbia even more, I miss my ponies all the time!"

"Horse racing is my favorite, overall champion? I've already gotten it twice, I don't care about MVP, and of course, I want to get a good contract. ”

Fox Sports naturally reported on Jokic's Versailles remarks, and in addition to provoking other players in the league, fans even found this statement very reasonable...

The white fat man who had no story was finally thrown aside by the media, and after the Clippers' daily training was over, everyone swarmed around Li Ze again:

"Kayce, what do you think of the Alliance's punishment? How would you rate a player like Slag Pachulia? ”

Li Ze, who was wearing a gray training uniform, was more like an assistant coach, and he already knew that there would definitely be such a problem:

"The introduction of new provisions is really a good measure and the protection of the health of the players must be taken seriously!"

"I don't want to judge Pachuria, it's like that's with some of the so-called defensive giants, they can't anticipate the attack, they only use small moves to help the defense."

"They look fierce on the outside, but they're actually outright soft eggs, have they really restrained superstars? Trust me, Kawai will be back, I know his strength, some clowns can't beat him. ”

Li Ze's answer made the Fox Sports reporters at the scene laugh from ear to ear.

Everyone likes this kind of real review, which is much more interesting than the previous LeBron James cliché!

The NBA circle is like this, Li Ze's words were spread outward.

The TNT reporter who did the thing wanted to interview the Warriors' Green and Pachuria, obviously, everyone thought that these two were the clowns in Li Ze's mouth...

However, the Warriors, who were on the cusp of the storm, were prepared and did not give media reporters a chance at all, and Steve Kerr stepped in and stopped all the interviews.

For that night's game, most fans watched only one session and then switched to the table.

At 16:33, the Warriors led by 17 points in the first quarter, and the game was over.

In the end, the G2 score of the Western Conference semifinals was fixed at 100:136, and the Warriors who were fighting at home beat their opponents wildly, and the series score came to 2:0.

The 12-man rotation of the Spurs with broken jars and broken cans, the game was like going through the motions, and there was no confrontation at all.

Curry, who played 31 minutes, was 8-of-13, 6-of-9 from beyond the three-point line, 7-of-7 from the free-throw line, and had 29 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 2 turnovers.

The Warriors shot 18-of-37 from the field and shot an exaggerated 48.6% three-point shooting...

After two games, ball critics know that there is no suspense in this series, and the gap between the two sides is too big.

...

On May 4th, G2 of the Rockets and Clippers officially started!

In the past two days, Chris Paul has called on his teammates not to follow social media and to put all their energy into the game.

Coach D'Antoni did find a problem, but he wasn't God, the difference in size, the gap in the bench he couldn't do anything about it.

"James, you have to believe in your offense, whether it's a three-pointer or a mid-range, the first thing we're going to do in this game is put the ball in the basket."

"Don't force your shots from beyond the three-point line, I don't want to see as many counter-attacks as G1 does."

Coach D'Antoni and the coaching staff are giving Harden a psychological massage.

When it comes to critical moments, you can't expect role players to suddenly burst out, and the team's highest-paid star player has to stand up at this time!

The bearded golfer has a lot of privilege with the Rockets, and this is the first time that head coach D'Antoni has spoken to him in such a serious tone since he came to the Rockets.

Despite some discomfort in his heart, Harden finally nodded in response:

"I'm ready and I'm going to help the team keep scoring!"

The big loss also made Paul no longer polite, and the desire to win made the chairman of the cannon become chattering again, and he nagged the role players of the Rockets every day for more than a day:

"Capela, cover every round, Jokic receives the ball high, remember to give a confrontation."

"Lane, work a little harder on the defensive end, increase some control of the long rebound, we need to switch offense, we can't keep conceding rebounds!"

“...”

Talking too much naturally makes people impatient, just as little Jordan doesn't like Paul's nagging, and Capela is tired of listening to it.

For the role players in the era of brother basketball, losing is the pot of the core players!

Paul doesn't nag Harden and has a for them to chatter...

Take money to do things, don't play with the highest salary, and expect them to win the game?

"Got it, got it! Shet! But I feel like if you want to win, you have to attack, I can't defend Kayce at all, they have a big lineup. ”

Beverley, who was a little impatient, immediately replied a few words, spread his hands as he spoke, and pointed to Harden on the other side, signaling to Paul that that was the problem.

Paul's face is a little ugly, if he can solve the problem of Harden pulling the cross, he won't fight the role player...

This is different from the situation of the Clippers at the beginning, even if it was a headwind back then, Li Ze easily gave me the ball, and all the problems were solved.

Even if Harden said this, Paul didn't feel at ease to give him the ball, and after thinking about it, he couldn't think of a good way, so he could only secretly decide:

"I'm going to have to figure it out on my own."

“...”

On the night of the 2nd, the Staples Arena was still full, and although Li Ze did not play much time per game this season, many fans would still be there to support.

For neutral fans, everyone wants to see a great Western Conference semifinals, and the ticketed Clippers fans love to abuse the game.

Once the score difference of the game is widened, everyone eats and drinks on the spot, nibbles burgers, drinks beer, knocks popcorn, and Mimihu Lake is hi along with the music.

If the Clippers can play some more wonderful combinations and beautiful dunks, the fans will be even happier.

In the G2 game, the source of happiness for Clippers fans is the iron-striking Harden.

Watching the bearded golfer at the top of the arc boasting a good fortune step to the side for three points and another iron, there was another huge cheer in the Staples Arena.

Coach D'Antoni hated the bearded player's attacking options at this time.

Although he wanted his team to throw three-pointers during the regular season, when it really mattered, scoring was the most important thing.

"Come back! Hurry up and come back! Pay attention to the defenders and do a good job of alignment! ”

Coach D'Antoni hurriedly signaled his players to step back, and they gave up frontcourt rebounds tonight because they were afraid that the Clippers would play a frequent transition offense.

After the long rebound bounced, it collapsed directly to Jaylen Brown, and the newcomer got the ball and rushed to accelerate along the right sideline.

Paul on his side kept trying to cause Jaylen Brown's mistakes, give a physical confrontation, and then cut the ball.

After a season's experience, Jaylen Brown has also grown, relying on his height advantage, immediately after crossing the halfway line, he immediately stops, and then accelerates again.

Without waiting to get close to the right wing and turning quickly, Jaylen Brown stopped dribbling too much and immediately gave the ball to Li Ze.

Receiving the ball at the logo position, Jokic, who had just run to the frontcourt, took advantage of the situation to make a high block.

Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, first pushed the ball sharply and changed direction, and turned around sharply at the moment when he grabbed the ball with his left hand.

The bearded golfer, who still wanted to squeeze past the cover, readjusted his defensive focus, but was delayed by Jokic and lost his defensive position.

Capela after the coaching staff's advice, this game has been insisting on a big delay, hurriedly followed the slide to the left, Li Ze's right hand in and out quickly, left and right suddenly accelerated again.

was just slightly stunned, and Capella, who had stopped and walked, was too late to defend Li Ze, and watched Li Ze squeeze past him.

The inside line was empty, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, accelerated with all his might, rushed up in three steps, and took advantage of the situation to make a reflexive slam dunk!

After landing on the ground, Li Ze opened his hands and quickly ran back to his own half along the sideline, and the Clippers fans shouted happily, pleasing to the eye to dunk, scoring is as easy as drinking water!

"Immature defense, compared to Kayce, the Rockets players except for Paul have too much playoff experience."

Jeff Van Gundy was a little furious, and in his opinion, the Rockets shouldn't have played so badly.

Mark Jackson saw that Harden and Capela were both on the waist, and he was a little speechless for a while, defending to win the championship, but the Rockets didn't defend this year:

"As the leader of the team, Harden can't attack so casually, he can break through to the interior instead of shooting all the time outside the three-point line."

"Kayce's ability is too strong, I don't know if it's my delusion, I think his speed is faster this year!"

Paul also thinks that Li Ze has evolved again, the fast speed of advancement is scary, the acceleration after the emergency stop is simply not human, once it shakes, and then the defender is gone, how can this be prevented?

There are fewer and fewer bells and whistles, acceleration after being in and out, and then scoring, and the Rockets are on the bench, numb to such a scene.

Capela and Harden have become Li Ze's toys, and the simple high-post blocking and dismantling have become unstoppable...

The Rockets' most consistent way of scoring is still Paul and Capela's pick-and-roll.

The bearded player asked for the ball again, and Paul did not give the ball, but motioned for the opponent to go to the right flank and wait...

Harden's off-ball probability will have to be watched on the spot, but fortunately, Paul used the pick-and-roll to get rid of Jaylen Brown's pursuit of defense this round, and finally hit the free throw line to shoot.

At 14:22, the difference was back to 8 points.

"Shh

The Clippers fans laughed and booed, +2 couldn't win the game.

Quickly sent the baseline ball, the Rockets had just finished their defensive positioning, and Li Ze had already advanced to the right wing.

Paul George in the bottom right corner immediately activated, Li Zeshun sent a pass, and then ran to the bottom right corner without the ball.

Ariza noticed the Clippers' position and immediately realized that it was another single...

Paul George, who received the ball, released the ball with his left hand, slightly lowered the center of gravity of his body, quickly pushed the ball close to the three-point line to change direction, accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, and immediately pulled back his crotch after two steps of the three-point line.

After a set of moves, he didn't completely shake off the defense, but Paul George still threw it directly!

Ariza heard the cheers of the scene in his ears, and he was a little frustrated in his heart, scoring again...

Paul George scored 16 points on 5-of-13 shooting, 1-of-5 from beyond the three-point line and 5-of-7 from the free-throw line in G1, failing to score more than 20 points for the first time in this year's playoffs.

After pulling his crotch for a while, it seems that Ghost Pepper is going to become General Qiao again tonight...

Feeling like he was throwing a blind in, Paul George, who had completed the attack, shouted excitedly!

In the rest of the game, Harden's step-back three-pointer was only hit with difficulty at the end of the first quarter.

At 23:34, the first quarter ended with the Clippers leading by 11 points.

Coach D'Antoni on the sidelines felt unbearable to look at it in other respects except that he was satisfied with Harden's performance of controlling his mistakes.

2-of-7 from the field and 1-of-4 from beyond the three-point line, the bearded ballster had five points and one assist in the first quarter.

Jeff Van Gundy seemed to think back to when he coached the Rockets, looking at such a point difference, and said helplessly:

"After winning the championship, the Rockets always feel a breath of air when they go to the playoffs every year, Harden is not Kayce after all, and when he doesn't have the ball in his hands, he performs too badly!"

Mark Jackson also felt that tonight's game was going to be one-sided again, with Paul George in great shape and the Clippers playing easier:

"If the offense is acceptable, the defensive end of the Rockets has a huge problem, the rotation lacks size, and head coach D'Antoni has a lot of work to do in the offseason."

Beverley didn't play in the second quarter, with only Luis Williams and Nene coming into the rotation tonight.

With a seven-man rotation, head coach D'Antoni did not give up the game, and at the beginning of the rotation lineup, Harden and Paul led the team separately.

In the second half of the second quarter, the Rockets, whose main lineup returned early, were a little overwhelmed.

Ariza hit the left wing from beyond the three-point line, and the ball was picked up by Harris and pushed directly into the transition attack.

Ryne Anderson was caught off guard, and Harris couldn't keep up with the pace after the acceleration.

Coming to the right wing outside the three-point line, Harris broke through with the ball and cut into the basket at 45 degrees!

Capela, who had just run back to the halfcourt, hurriedly made a block under the basket, and the ball slammed out of the basket under the interference, and Jokic, who saw the right time, grabbed the rebound.

Capela, who reacted quickly, refilled, and the white fat man was not in a hurry, and threw the ball to Li Ze in the logo position as soon as possible, and the Clippers returned to 24 seconds.

Looking at Li Ze in front of him holding the ball in his left hand and dribbling under his crotch, then dribbling behind his back, and then changing direction in front of his body, the ball kept flashing on both sides of his body, and Harden, who was defending Li Ze, was stunned again...

Li Zemeng, who switched to holding the ball in his left hand, suddenly accelerated his center of gravity, and while striding forward with his right foot, he vigorously exploded the ball with his left hand, and then suddenly retreated, and Harden, who was completely confused, simply stabbed in place.

Li Ze, who was outside the three-point line, easily closed the ball and quickly jumped to shoot!

"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!

The Clippers fans at the scene were already in high spirits at this time, and many front-row fans even shouted:

"No James can ever beat Kayce!"

"Keep coming back for three-pointers! Keep showing off your crappy skills! Come on! James! ”

Harden listened with a confused face, he was just striking iron, why spray him...

Li Ze, who completed the retreat, and his teammates simply high-fived and celebrated, and the game was easier than the coaching staff expected, and the bearded golfer did not break out.

Commentator Mike Brin noticed that after the Rockets kept a big delay, Li Ze assisted Jokic several times to easily score points, and he was a little powerless to complain for a while:

"There's no way to solve any problems with the inside player's bag alone, and Jokic's finishing ability under the basket has always been good."

Jeff Van Gundy seemed to have given up on it and began to sum up the game:

"Unless the Rockets can complement their front line, they can't go very far in the playoffs with that kind of defense."

"There shouldn't be much suspense in the two semifinals of the Western Conference."

Mark Jackson also thought of another set of Spurs and Warriors games, and agreed with the old partner in his heart, it was all a crushing game...

Chris Paul is still helping the Rockets score points, but the Clippers are calmly accepting the mid-range 2-point and resolutely not giving Paul the opportunity to assist his teammates to score.

At 48:65, Li Ze played only 3 minutes and 56 seconds in the second quarter, and the Clippers still widened the gap to 17 points.

The bearded golfer only found his touch in the second half of the third quarter, but unfortunately the state came too late.

D'Antoni watched his blood pressure rise, and when the team least needed you to score, you started to punch hard....

Still clocking in in the third quarter, Harden, who returned to the bench, was completely confused, and he felt that he was playing well:

6-of-14, 3-of-9 from beyond the three-point line, 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, 19 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 turnover.

He has fulfilled the requirements of the coaching staff, strictly controlled the number of errors, and passed the ball carefully in every round.

In the Staples Arena, the fans cheered loudly again as they saw the two sides change into an atmosphere group, and tonight was another big win!

In the 4th quarter of the game, the atmosphere group came on, and the Rockets lost backcourt rebounds in a row, and in the face of the small lineup, Kevon Looney suddenly broke out and fought for several frontcourt rebounds.

Seeing that the point difference is getting wider and wider, on the bench of the Rockets, everyone is pulling their faces, and it is shameless to lose too much.

In the end, 96:131, the Clippers who were playing at home defeated the Rockets again, and the series score came to 2:0.

Paul George was very efficient tonight, shooting 8-of-14 from the field, including 3-of-6 three-pointers and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, to finish with 23 points, five rebounds, four assists, one steal and two turnovers.

When the ESPN reporter saw that it was Paul George being interviewed tonight, he immediately laughed and joked:

“paul！ Are the Clippers already preparing for the next round of opponents? ”

Paul George has recovered from his inflated state, and at this time he humbly says:

"The Rockets are a very strong opponent and we will still give it our all in the next games, and of course, it's better not to return to Los Angeles!"

“...”

Both Western Conference series ended up crushing, and the Wizards defended their home court in the Eastern Conference semifinals that night.

At 109:116, after a tough victory over the Celtics, the series score came to 1:2.

The consecutive big losses made the next game of the Rockets a life-and-death battle.

On the morning of the 5th, when the Rockets returned to Houston, the bearded golfer wrote an open letter to the fans on the plane:

"Dear fans, G3 is a fight to the death! Saturday starts at 7 p.m. We need everyone to come to the Toyota Center early and create a home atmosphere that we have never seen before!

"My teammates and I really need this energy, and the opponents hate it! Let's do it together! Red Country! We need to stick together! ”

The official social media of the Rockets posted an autographed letter from the bearded golfer in the afternoon, and fans naturally responded when they saw the attitude of the star of the house to G3's imperativeness.

Even the old fire honey of the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean also spoke out, and for a while, Ze Pounce turned into Tiger Pounce again:

"That's it! Wohuo has never been afraid of strong enemies, won two home games, and then won the battle of Tianwang Mountain in one go, the rocket championship! ”

"Brother Deng is a real man, and he is not discouraged when he loses by a big score, which is why we have always liked the Rockets!"

"Inheritance! This is the inheritance of Da Yao, come on, defend the home field! ”

"As long as you win the Clippers, the championship will be a nest, and I hope Deng Ge will win the championship."

"Hehe, after so many years, Harden must have pulled his hips in key games, never had any expectations, besides, the Rockets won the head! That's 74 wins! ”

"Li Zehan didn't come out, and he also shelved his fantasy, let Paul + Harden explode together, and the Rockets also have to lose."

"Why can't Wohuo win, there are 58 wins this year!"

"Upstairs is Jammy, I can't see anyone else win, Deng Ge will definitely win the home field."

"Jamie is back to blame again? Roll out the strings, sit back and wait for Harden to pull across, and the Rockets will be swept! ”

Unlike Amika, the Rockets have a huge fan base in the Celestial Empire, and although everyone is older, they naturally follow suit when they see the team's good results.

The G3 of the Clippers and the Rockets, the popularity of Amica is average, two big losses, the difference in strength between the two sides is too obvious, and the ball critics are not fools, and it takes some logic to open their eyes and say nonsense...

The Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean is paying special attention to this game, even if they can't win the series, they can see Harden break out and compete with Li Ze, and many Rockets fans are already very satisfied.

On May 5, the Cavaliers defeated the Dragons and the Warriors defeated the Spurs, and the two teams got match points one after another, and the series became 3-0.

Such a score did not cause heated discussions among fans, and after Kyle Lowry's injury, the Menglong fans were already desperate.

At 115:94, the Cavaliers won easily, LeBron James played 42 minutes, 9 of 16, 15 of 16 free throws, and broke up the Dragons alone.

With 35 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 5 turnovers, the performance of the Chosen One is still mediocre.

As for the other Western Conference semifinals, the process was still as the critics imagined, with the Warriors pushing slightly and the Spurs on their knees.

At 120:108, Durant was 11-of-19 from the field and scored a game-high 33 points.

Away from home, Pachulia did not make the team's activation roster, and McGee, who started the game, also performed well, scoring 16 points on 6-of-9 shooting.

Coupled with Curry's 21 points, Kelai's 17 points, and Green's 10 points, the Warriors' starting 5 scored double-doubles!

There is no suspense, the Cavaliers and Warriors will both reach the division finals, and G4 is likely to go through the motions...

On May 6th, Rockets fans heeded the call of the bearded golfers and came to the Toyota Center Arena early on Saturday, and the uniform team also prepared red cheering T-shirts, and the atmosphere was extremely warm!

With a record of 58 wins this season, the bearded players have improved a lot, and the fans also feel that the fourth place in the West is very good!

Even if you can't win the series, it's satisfying to see a win on your doorstep.

Before the game, fans were full of expectations, and the sports media in attendance also hoped that the Rockets would fight back, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations, and Harden sleepwalked...

At 68:42 at halftime, the Clippers led by 26 points!

Rockets fans were stunned from the beginning of the first quarter of the game, and by the end of the second quarter, they were completely numb.

A lot of times, if it weren't for the shouts of live DJs, you might even feel like you've come to the Houston Library...

Jeff Van Gundy was almost blown up by Harden's performance, and as an old guy on the commentary bench, he saw the performance of his core players pull his hips like this for the first time:

"Unbelievable! I can't describe Harden's performance in this game at all. ”

What was he thinking? Is he afraid to shoot and hit the iron? In the face of Kayce, did Harden lose even the courage to shoot? ”

1 of 2 in the half, two shots from beyond the three-point line, 2 of 4 free throws, 5 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 turnover...

Mark Jackson also struggled to understand that Harden would play like this:

"Even if it's not compatible with Chris Paul, the two take turns holding the ball, and Harden shouldn't have only made two shots in the half, without any aggressiveness!"

Commentator Mike Brin didn't fall into the well when he arrived, but the game was ugly and he didn't have much passion:

"In the G2 game, Kayce only played 27 minutes, 10-of-14, and scored 32 points, so maybe he will play less time in tonight's game!"

"It's definitely not good news for fans who have bought front-row tickets, and I think everyone wants to see a close game."

In the second half, the bearded player's performance continued, and as the game progressed, Harden Bangbang hit the iron, and the Rockets fans on the scene couldn't hold back any longer, constantly booing, and even some fans shouted:

"RNM refund! Come and watch the game early, are you worthy of us! Refund! ”

A large number of excited fans even caused the game to be suspended, and Li Ze couldn't help but look strange when he heard the familiar Mandarin:

"I always feel like this kind of scene is familiar..."

Coach D'Antoni also broke the big defense, not only the bearded ballball player pulled the hip, but Paul also couldn't do it, the two had to pull together, who could withstand it!

Seeing that the home team was hopeless in chasing points, the Rockets fans gradually turned against each other and began to cheer for Li Ze's goal, standing on the free throw line, and shouting loudly together:

“mvp！ mvp！ mvp！ ”

The shrimp is pig-hearted, on the bench of the Rockets, the atmosphere group is completely confused, they came to the fake Toyota Center Arena tonight?

At 28:22 in the third quarter, although the Clippers had begun to release water, the Rockets completely pulled...

Coach D'Antoni did not change the main lineup, and if G3 loses, the season will be over, and in this case, even if it is a big score behind, it is necessary to show the attitude to the fans.

It's a pity that the state of the bearded golfer is really stretched, and too much display has made the fans even more angry, watching Harden bang the iron, the boos are even louder...

By the end of the game, at 124:84, the Clippers successfully got the match point, and the series score came to 3:0.

2-of-11, 2-of-9 from beyond the three-point line, 4-of-6 from the free-throw line, 10 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 6 turnovers.

After the game, Li Ze didn't see Harden, Paul turned his head to leave after completing the handshake, and the Rockets players broke the defense.

On the other side of the ocean, the Celestial Empire, before the game was over, the Rockets fans were ridiculed, and the tiger pounce became Ze pounce again:

"Harden fans came out to get beaten and called on fans to come to the home court to watch his performance, this is the first time I've seen such an operation!"

"Speaking of not being able to do it, this is Harden's ninja!"

"Xiaola, I want to keep this open letter forever, so that the secrets will forget about it in the future!"

"Li Zeniu x, the Clippers champion, will become the first person in history this offseason!"

"Low-key, we don't loan the championship, anyway, the next round of the line will blow up the traitor Durant!"

"I'm never going to watch Harden play again, the fans are so supportive, that's the result?"

“...”

This game made Harden's reputation plummet in Amerika, and it was rare for ball commentators to agree on it, and after the game ended, Harden's performance was sprayed.

By the morning of the next day, Amerika's sports media continued to spray...

The official social media of the Rockets has deleted the open letter, which is really embarrassing.

On the night of the 7th, the Cavaliers and Warriors defeated each other and successfully reached the division finals.

The Wizards stubbornly equalized the score, and the two sides will play the battle of Tianwang Mountain.

No one was surprised by the result, and everyone was just hoping that the divisional finals would be a bit more exciting.

After the Rockets lost G3, on the night of the 8th, the front row seats in the Toyota Center Arena were mostly empty...

Attendance plummeted, and there was only sparse boos throughout the game.

Players on both sides couldn't get up, and in the end, 117:104, the Clippers swept the Rockets 4:0 and reached the Western Conference Finals again!

Li Ze saw that most of the fans at the scene had left, and he was a little helpless in his heart, he really didn't like to play in such an atmosphere.

On the ESPN commentary bench, Jeff Van Gundy was on fire, and tonight Harden was back in shape, and the bearded ball player stepped up again when the team least needed to score...

The Rockets players were in no mood to greet each other, everyone finished shaking hands and greeted each other, and walked quickly to the players' tunnel without looking back.

Steve Ballmer was still with the team on the road, and the old man didn't care that no one was watching the game in the front row, and he was pulling his friends back tactically tonight.

At this time, he happily bumped fists with the Clippers at the entrance of the players' tunnel to celebrate.

“16:0！ We're going to do it! ”

Seeing Li Ze coming over, Steve Ballmer immediately began to scream again.

"With two more series to go, back in Los Angeles, it's time for us to appeal to the fans, we need more capacity this year!"

Li Ze smiled and gave advice, and Steve Ballmer immediately nodded in response, this matter is not difficult!

Li Ze, who walked to the locker room, suddenly had a memory picture of the Rockets and Spurs in his mind:

"Good fellows! Is this also a butterfly effect? ”
