In the end, the score was 14:16, and Roy defended the second home of the developer.

The Rockets only shot six times and scored 12 points and rebounds. Marbury scored 23 points and 6 assists. Weaver scored 2 points, Brooks scored 1 point and 3 assists, David Lee scored 12 points, Luis Scola scored 12 points and 6 rebounds, and Ariza scored 1 point.
Chapter four hundred and seventy I’m already thinking about the second round
On April 22, the Clippers will also wait for Thunder Gate to die for the second time at home. Of course, they should not be too complacent. After all, they lost to Thunder once in the regular season, so they should be careful to capsize in the gutter.
The Rockets lost to the pioneer Deng Liwei yesterday, but I’m still very happy. Although Chinese fans all hope that the Rockets can make it through the first round and it’s best to play in the finals, the Clippers’ opponent in the semi-final is exactly this pioneer and the Rockets. Compared with the two teams, the Clippers certainly prefer to be killed by the four of them. The latter has been destroyed by them, which is equivalent to getting a ticket to the Western Conference finals directly, but it’s more troublesome for the Rockets. The rockets are more difficult to deal with than the pioneers anyway.
In the first game of the first round of the playoffs, Durant took turns defending in Garcia and Barnes. The Thunder obviously changed in this game. In the first quarter, they attacked Artest to score points and hoped that the beast would kill the Clippers’ guard line. This move was called defending Zhao by besieging the state of Wei.
After today’s game, the Clippers focused on Ji Guo Shame. Before the first quarter, Fox’s younger brother scored 6 points, and he also assisted Brother Panda to complete a wonderful relay. Then Durant and Ji Guo Shame Exhibition competed with each other. However, the Clippers’ powerful line and point guard gave Fox greater support, and the Clippers soon expanded their lead to 5 points.
Durant scored an astonishing 14 points in the first quarter, and his personal score exceeded Ji’s national humiliation by 12 points. However, Thunder was caught in an embarrassing situation, that is, they rarely broke out in team performances, and it was difficult to play a team attack. * * Thunder, if any player scored four points in a row, he would automatically enter the theater mode. In the final analysis, this phenomenon is still inferior in technical and tactical ability. Everyone doesn’t know how to move to create a block and the team’s main point guard organization ability is insufficient. Sometimes, even if his teammates run out of the opportunity, Wei Shao has a basket in his eyes
In the second quarter, Ji Guo was ashamed not to rush to attack the festival. He shot a clipper. Brother Panda organized his teammates to run around their lighthouse. The Clippers played a pleasing offensive cooperation and continued to maintain the lead. By the way, they expanded the lead.
Thunder can’t cope with the Clippers’ way of playing. Sometimes they can’t even find out where the basketball is or what Clippers players can’t figure out. They just got the ball into the basket festival in a few simple steps. Two minutes later, Brother Panda hit a three-pointer from the top of the arc and Clippers 646 led by a full 22 points.
Durant also knows that the gap between the two teams is too big. It’s a broken can and a broken fall, and it’s a good result to throw three-pointers on the outside line. In the last two minutes, one person scored seven points in a row, and Thunder chased the score to 7255 before the end of the halftime.
In the third quarter, Thunder continued to develop an outside attack, hoping to win a Westbrook game by luck, and also desperately broke through. Thunder played a 1:3 game by brute force to catch up with the difference of one point.
However, the Clippers were in no hurry. Brother Panda attacked online for two goals and two assists in a row, and one person killed the Thunder team, which was weak and weak, and widened the score to 15 points again. Later, even Fox ran to the line to throw his weight around, and his third-rate hook hit the Thunder team in a panic.
At the end of the third quarter, the Clippers regained their lead over the Thunder by 2 points at 13:3.
The Clippers entered the final quarter with a 2-point advantage, and the victory had already been pocketed by them. Thunder showed their tenacity in the fourth quarter and narrowed the gap to about 15 points several times. With three minutes left in the game, Artest scored five points and Thunder 12111 was 11 points behind.
Old Deng Liwei was very dissatisfied and called a time-out to spit on other Clippers players except the Animal Brothers. Today, they didn’t have to say that the two brothers performed well enough on the offensive end, but the defensive end was a bit too coping, and the Thunder scored 11+. This is absolutely not what should happen in the eyes of old Deng Liwei.
After being scolded by Deng Liwei, the Clippers strengthened their defense. Crawford actually teamed up with Garcia to steal Durant, and then quickly launched a fast break. Finally, Ji Guo’s shame basket won the Clippers’ goal, which completely defeated the Thunder’s comeback. I hope that the Thunder players will miss in succession. Ji Guo’s shame hit a three-pointer again with 1 minute left in the game, and the Clippers 12112 led by 16 points.
Coach Brooks knew that the game was over, and once again, the main force of Nye Exchange announced its surrender for the second time.
At the end of the game, the score was 13:115. The Clippers scored 13 points in the second game of the playoffs, which showed amazing attack ability and also disguised how bad the Thunder defense was.
On the Clippers side, Ji Guoqiu scored 23 points, 2 rebounds, 12 assists and 6 blocked shots. An oversized three-double Ji Guomin scored 35 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 blocked shots. The two brothers joined hands to give the Thunder 11 blocked shots. The other players of the Thunder’s poor line Clippers Billups scored 19 points, 7 assists and Crawford scored 2 points.
In thunder, Durant scored a maximum of 36 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. Artest scored 22 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Green scored 2 points and 2 rebounds. Westbrook scored 14 points and 5 assists. kukoc scored 12 points and 7 rebounds.
After the game, Ji was ashamed that he didn’t bother to release his mouth gun skills to influence his opponents. It was difficult for the Thunder to cause them trouble. Fox just said, "I’m already considering the second round opponent." Fortunately, he knew that this was the most hurtful thing. Many stars died in this sentence, and he looked very quiet after the game.
Ji Guoqiu gave Thunder a little face. He said, "I think Artest and Durant have a strong impact. kukoc has good skills. If they reduce their mistakes and strengthen their defense, it will not be too easy for us to take it away."
After the clippers game, the battle between cattle and horses also ended.
Duncan scored 25 points and 15 rebounds in this game, and Parker’s breakthrough made the Mavericks’ defense line collapse. The Spurs beat the Mavericks at home and pulled back a game. Although Nowitzki scored 24 points and Terry scored 27 points higher, Duncan scored 25 points and 15 rebounds to suppress the Mavericks, but the score was still 9512 and lost to the Spurs. The total score of both sides was tied to 1:1.
Duncan scored 25 points and 15 rebounds today. In addition to Stone Buddha, Parker scored 27 points and 1 assist, Ginobili scored 2 points and 4 assists, and jamison also scored 2 points and 1 rebound. The Big Four jointly contributed 91 points.
Nowitzki scored 24 points and 1 rebound on Mavericks’ side. Terry contributed 27 points from the bench. Howard scored 17 points, but the Mavericks scored double Kidd’s 9 points and rebounds, which is another wonderful quasi-triple-double data.
On the 22nd, after the first round of the East and West, the first two games have ended. In the west, Lakers 2: Hornets Rockets 11 Explorers Clippers 2: Thunder Spurs 11 Mavericks East Cleveland Cavaliers 1:1 Chicago Bulls Boston Celtics 1:1 new york Knicks Orlando Magic 11 City 76ers Atlanta Hawks 1:1 Miami Heat.
The top four teams in the west are 2: 1 ahead of their rivals in the east, but 1:1, which means that the gap between the teams in the east is not big, although the Cavaliers didn’t get a home game, which is a bit painful, but they didn’t fall behind.
It depends on this round whether all teams can change their home games on April 24.
The first is Lakers vs Hornets.
After the Hornets returned to New Orleans and lost the first two games, they pinned their hopes on the home court. After that, the Hornets fought even harder for every rebound, and it took nearly four minutes for the Lakers to make their first shot.
Bynum finally played a good game today. He dominated Chandler for the first time in the basket and controlled the rebounding hornets with 211 rebounds in the first quarter.
Kobe Bryant missed 4 shots in the first quarter and Gasol didn’t get a point. Chandler was also lost in New Orleans. The Lakers didn’t perform well in the face of home fans. The Lakers only relied on Byron Davis to support the situation. In the second quarter, 5 minutes later, Kobe Bryant broke through the basket and scored for the first time in sports. After Kobe scored, he gradually found the feeling. Soon, one person scored four points in a row and assisted Chandler to relay the Lakers. After hitting a wave of 6, he chased the score gap to three points. Chris Paul quickly regained the advantage with a wave of 92. The Hornets took the lead at halftime.
At half-time, the Lakers stepped up their offense, and the Hornets suddenly became unable to play. Not only did they miss shots frequently, but they also made many ball mistakes. The game returned to the first two games again. Kobe Bryant hit a three-pointer at the beginning of the third quarter, and Byron Davis also frequently fired outside shots. The Lakers attacked the wave section 241 and gained a very leading position in one fell swoop.
The Hornets lost a good situation. In the first quarter, the Lakers completed the lead of 66 and entered the final quarter. The Lakers shot 25% but reached 5% in the first quarter.
The Lakers didn’t dare to let Kobe Bryant play in the fourth quarter, but the Hornets also tried their best to break through Paul and succeeded in a wave of 164 hornets. In the last quarter, the two teams went beyond the score in one fell swoop and fell into a fierce battle. After that, David West scored a basket and the Hornets took the lead with 31 until 47 seconds left in the game. Then Kobe Bryant forced a picturesque jumper to equalize the score, but Bynum received Paul’s assist and dunked, and the Hornets surpassed 53 again with 169 seconds left in the game.
The Lakers were beaten by Gasol after the timeout, and the two sides tied the Hornets again with 117 seconds left to attack.
The performance of the game was average. Maghetti showed off at the last minute. With 22 seconds left in the game, he took the ball and missed again. Odom made a stop jump shot and created a chance for Lamar Odom to defend against a foul. Maghetti made a penalty and hit the Hornets again.
In the last 22 seconds, the Lakers failed to make a miracle. Kobe missed the Lakers’ long-range shot at the last moment and regretted losing.
The Lakers came to New Orleans and lost their first away game. On the other side, the Rockets played against the developers at home. Today, the Toyota Center in Houston was full of colorful flags and the "Red Devils Cheering Group" was full of passion. This was the first home game in the playoffs of the rocket season. In the first two games, the Rockets tied 11, and the rockets gained home advantage. They didn’t lose anything when they returned to home.
Adelman started David Lee today. This young line from new york is playing a better defense against Aldridge. I hope it will have an impact on the pioneers. However, Yao didn’t partner with David Lee for long today. It seems that the Little Giant hit four shots before the first quarter and returned to the first game. The Rockets also got a 26-1 lead over the pioneers in the first quarter.
However, in the second quarter, the referee blew Yao for two bizarre fouls, and the little giant had to rest in less than two minutes in the second quarter. However, David Lee and Scola also played a good performance. The Rockets’ line advantage was obvious. In addition to David Lee, they also had a finger-shaking elbow-the African mountains could make the Rockets still beat the Trailblazers by 14 points at the end of the second quarter.
Shortly after the third quarter, the Rockets gained a 17-point advantage. However, in the middle of this quarter, Yao and David Li Shuangshuang were blown for the fourth foul. After the developer scored seven points, the score was tied to 5564. The Rockets failed to score a three-point shot by Battier in three minutes and failed to stop the developer from attacking. Roy dunked three times in a row to tie the score to 6167.
Marbury scored 3 points at half-time, and he didn’t shoot again until 3: 15 left in the third quarter. After that, he broke through the basket twice, and the Rockets finally got through the crisis under the leadership of a lone wolf.
Yao scored a point in the first quarter, but failed to score in the second and third quarters. He still couldn’t find a way out of the foul crisis. In the fourth quarter, he still didn’t find a chance to score. The extension made a big counterattack. With five minutes left in the game, Blake hit a three-pointer and the extension was 95 points behind.
At the crucial moment, Battier stepped forward again, and the Rockets captain scored a three-pointer to stabilize his position. Then Marbury and David Li Yanzhong relayed Ariza to hit a three-pointer and the Rockets made a wave of success. At the last moment, the game was won or lost, and the final score was 13:97. The Rockets once again continued to score more than Yum!
Today, Yao suffered another foul crisis. He made six free throws, made four free throws and got 16 points, 11 rebounds, 3 blocked shots and 5 fouls in 26 minutes. Marbury became the number one hero with 2 points and 12 assists, including 17 points in halftime, 19 points and 9 rebounds in Scola, and 13 points in Battier’s two three-pointers. David Lee scored 12 points, 1 rebound, Ariza scored 13 points and Brooks scored 1 point.
Rio Tinto almost completed a 17-point turnaround. Brandon Roy got into foul trouble. Finally, he made six fouls, but he still got 24 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Steve Blake scored 15 points and 1 assist. Rudy Fernandez hit five three-pointers and scored 17 points. Lamarcus Aldridge scored 13 rebounds.
Chapter four hundred and seventy-nine It’s time to think of some way to deal with the rocket
After the Rockets played against Tuotuo, he took five rebounds five minutes later. Uncle Mu said, "I didn’t play much, because my teammates did well. David did a good job, but the Rockets still need me and I want to leave with a championship." As early as before the season, nba President Stern reserved a place for Uncle Mu, but the African Mountain didn’t recognize that his mission with the Rockets was over. He said, "First of all, I want to see what will happen next. I think I am not old if we enter this year. I want to win a championship in the final and then walk away from this team. I will continue to cheer my teammates and give some advice to young players in the later games. I will protect our rebounds when they need me. "
Mutombo’s age has always been a "secret". Officially, he is now 4 years old, but according to Ewing, a close friend of Mutombo University, Uncle Mu is actually more than 4 years old. Previously, when people from all walks of life speculated about his age, Uncle Mu always smiled and did not give a positive answer.
Major TV media keep making up all kinds of jokes about Mutombo’s age. For example, Mutombo cut a tree every birthday in his hometown, but when he left home, the tree was cut down. He didn’t know how big the joke was, which made Mutombo’s family feel uncomfortable. In an interview with espn, Mutombo revealed that he planned to ask David Stern, president of the alliance, for help to prevent TV commentators from accusing him of hiding his age.
Uncle Mu explained the whole incident. "I don’t think media jokes bother me. My daughter is only 9 years old now and she already knows all this. When people think your father is a liar, it will make you feel embarrassed in front of your daughter."
After the Rockets won the third game against the Trailblazers, they became media. The focus of attention is whether Yao, Marbury, Scola or David Lee have all been unanimously recognized by the media. Some media imagined that they could reach the finals. Actually, the Rockets have the best chance to break through the first round of the playoffs this year, and it is indeed possible to reach the finals. There are four reasons for the local media in Houston.
1. Defense
The Rockets’ defense this year is not as good as in the past few seasons, but they are still the best defensive team in the league-they have the ability to help them win the playoffs. Battier and Ariza form a natural barrier for all breakthrough and jumper fans, and Mutombo’s old age also makes the opponent line worry about Yao.
2. Leadership
The Rockets haven’t won the first round of the playoffs since 1997. Without Tracy McGrady, Yao got his own chance this year. He will prove that he will be a qualified leader who can lead the team to break through the past. Of course, the drop-off generals Steven Marbury, Battier and Scola will also be reliable helpers for Yao Zui.
3. Balance
Rafael Alston is not bad, but compared with Marbury, one is a normal starter and the other is a star. Battier, Ariza, Brooks and others can get very good three-point chances in Marbury, which is a very balanced offensive firepower distribution with Yao and Luis Scola David Lee leading the line.
4. Depth
Everyone is saying that the Lakers and Clippers benches are excellent, in fact, the Rockets are not bad, and even the Houston substitutes have to surpass their starting lineup in sports ability. Brooks, Lori, Weaver and David Lee are all good at running and jumping, and the offensive and defensive conditions are good. This was the case in World War II and World War III. After Yao was caught in a foul crisis, the Rockets substitutes still didn’t give the pioneers a chance.
If the rockets can always stick to these four points, it is not impossible for the rockets and Clippers to meet and win in the second round. After all, the strength of the rockets Yao and Feng Wei line is not far better than that of the Clippers luxury array. The finals are not a dream for the rockets this year.
The Clippers did not comment on this. The American media deliberately interviewed Yao and the twin brothers, but all three of them said that they were considering the first round of opponents now, and it was not too late to think about it when they really qualified.
