Chapter 304 No way
In the final matchup of the second game of the Western Conference playoffs, the Clippers and the Rockets, the Rockets took the lead in the first half and were overturned by the Clippers in the third quarter, and then the Clippers led to the end.
In this way, the Clippers also took a 2:0 lead.
Howard broke out with all his strength this time, completely suppressing Jordan, and he can see the demeanor of the number one center back then.
But their fourth position was taken by Griffin, and their poor defense prevented them from playing a significant role even if they played well on the offensive end.
Moreover, their offensive end is not the best, Harden did not perform too well this time, and he and Howard are not completely compatible.
The other is the bench, the Rockets are not as good as the Clippers in this regard.
If some details cannot be done better, it is estimated that the Rockets will find it difficult to continue.
The third round of the first round began, and there was another upset news from the East.
After the Eagles returned to the home court, they once again took down the icy Pacers.
You must know that the Eagles don't even have a 50% winning rate this season. It can be said that they won the playoffs because they couldn't find eight teams in the East.
The Pacers' record in the regular season is better than that of the Heat, and it's okay to lose one game. It's really incomprehensible to lose again now.
Paul George, who has been very popular this season, was questioned about his lack of means on the offensive end. All-star center Hibbert only scored 4 points and 2 rebounds, which was even more embarrassing.
There are also more voices from the outside world, and the Eagles are now full of fighting spirit.
Play well, and their players like Teague and Millsap will definitely increase in value.
In the west, the game between the Thunder and the Trail Blazers is the most unchanged type.
It is the story of Durant teaming up with Westbrook against Lillard and Aldridge. Durant and Aldridge both showed absolute crushing in the matchup, and Westbrook is a bit stronger than Lillard. smaller.
So even if the other players of the Blazers play a little better, the Thunder still have another victory.
The Trail Blazers actually have a chance, but their stars are slightly inferior to the Thunder at critical moments, but the gap is not that big. How things will develop later depends on the details of each team.
The game between the Spurs and the Grizzlies did have an accident.
At the Grizzlies' home court, the Spurs and the Grizzlies were at the end, but they stumbled at the critical moment, and were chased by the Grizzlies to reverse the game and win the game. The Grizzlies narrowly won with a total score of 2:1.
No one really thought of this, just like Black Eight a few years ago, someone is discussing the possibility of Grizzly Black Seven again.
The Spurs are definitely better than the Grizzlies now, mainly because the rhythm is not up.
GDP is getting older, and the Spurs' current offensive power is basically supported by role players participating in the offense. If they can't speed up and are beaten by the Grizzlies, it will be difficult for those role players to perform.
If Popovich doesn't solve the problem, the Spurs may really be hacked.
Another group in the West, the Rockets and Clippers game, the Rockets finally got back a game after returning home.
Harden played his best game back at home, and Howard also played well.
It may also be related to the Rockets' change of formation. The Rockets put Asik in the starting lineup, and the Twin Towers will fight the Twin Towers.
But that's just one aspect. The performance of the main lineups of both sides is actually half-baked, but the Rockets' bench is slightly better.
In fact, the gap between the Rockets and the Clippers is really not that big, but the Clippers' style of play is more stable.
If the Rockets can guarantee the outside shooting rate, this series is really hard to say.
In the East, the Nets once again completed the next game.
DeRozan scored another 30 points this time, but Deron and Joe Johnson also performed very well for the Nets.
In terms of experience, the Nets will definitely have the advantage.
They suddenly stepped up their efforts in the third quarter, and before the Raptors could react, they secured the advantage. It was too late for the Raptors to chase points in the fourth quarter.
The main problem is rhythm control, the Raptors obviously lack some experience.
In the game between the Bulls and the Wizards, the Bulls lost both at home, but pulled back a game away.
Their substitute player Augustin performed well and played a key role on the offensive end.
It's good for someone to stand up, but the Bulls still have hidden dangers. Their main lineup's offensive power is really not enough.
It is impossible for substitute players to explode every game. If this continues, they will be very dangerous.
To be honest, the Bulls should also have changed. Just relying on their fierce defense, they will always be a second-rate team.
Moreover, after Rose, who will be the boss of the team, they also need to have a charter, otherwise no one will stand up at the critical moment, and they will suffer a lot in the playoffs.
After a day's rest, the Nuggets came to the away game for the third game.
The home court of the Warriors is also a place Xiang Chu is familiar with, and family members will come to the scene to cheer.
Curry accepted an interview before the game to boost the morale of the team. He said: "We must not give up, we cannot lie down, and then let the opponent get whatever they want."
"We're going to be aggressive, we need to be more competitive, we've got to do that, and then defend our home court."
The Nuggets are the devil's home game, and there are many people watching how much energy they can show when they come to the away game.
The Warriors did not change their lineup when they returned home, and of course the Nuggets will not change.
In competitive sports, if you grasp a weakness, you have to play hard, so the Nuggets will hang inside at the beginning of the game.
The same is true for the Warriors at the beginning. They let David Lee play at the [-]th position now.
The scoring efficiency of both sides was about the same at the beginning. When they came to the away game, the Nuggets' outside line was a little tight.
However, there is one thing that is very different, that is, O'Neal is too foul.
He also suffers from confrontation. If David Lee does not come to help, he is likely to defend the pass.
A little later in the half quarter, Jermaine O'Neal had already fouled four times, and he felt that he couldn't hold on in the first half.
After a few games, he can be said to be worse than one game. The intensity of the playoffs may be a bit too much for the current O'Neal.
The Warriors can only make substitutions, and they don't need a center anymore, just let Draymond Green play at the fifth position.
It's not necessarily true that he's all about attacking. On the offensive end, Green can get beyond the three-point line, but his three-point ability is not very strong, mainly because the Warriors have no one.
Since no one can stand it, it's better to have a more flexible inside line and better pass defense.
The Warriors now mainly use Green and Barnes as two substitutes. Now that Green is pulling over to carry Xiang Chu, their rotation is somewhat insufficient.
As for the Nuggets, although Williams' touch is average, he can also distribute the ball. Dunleavy and Belinelli have good touch.
Seeing that the score was about to open again, the Warriors were forced to resort to the ultimate trick, that is, Curry, Thompson and Iguodala fought hard on the court, and they began to play the main force.
