Legend Raiders

Chapter 354
The Nuggets were easily won, which made people who followed this series treat them with silence.

Instead of protesting in silence, they express their surprise in this way.

The performance of the Rockets this season seems to have been ignored by everyone from the beginning.

With the rise of Harden, they believe that this is caused by the fact that the ball is completely in hand and the team gives unlimited firepower.

It wasn't until Harden led the team to fight a few tough battles and killed a few teams that they realized that Morey's deal was indeed profitable.

But even so, no one would have thought that they would be promoted step by step!
What surprised them even more was that when Morey got Harden, no one could have imagined that a guy who was used to fill the deal with a very troublesome personality and was even described as a violent person by his classmates would gradually issue orders. Amazing game and talent.

Needless to say, what happened afterwards is this addition, which brought unparalleled things to the Rockets. Not only did they successfully enter the playoffs, but they also ranked first in the Western Conference with an eye-popping ranking. entered the playoffs.

Next is the first round of the playoffs.

Even though the Lakers were disappointing throughout the season and even made countless people angry, they also gave them very high expectations.

The Rockets here.

Qin Tao's help to the team was great, and it was a headache for the other team, gradually playing a terrifying dominance, but even if the Lakers lacked Kobe, they didn't think the Rockets would sweep them so easily.

But the fact is that.

Although the game between the two teams was full of ups and downs, the final winner was still the Rockets, who swept the Lakers and entered the second round strongly.

Before the start of today's game, although there was not much disturbance in public opinion, each of them was very concerned about the "Rocket Miracle" and what kind of game they would play.

But no one thought that the Nuggets, who pressed the "big team" Clippers on the floor in the first round, would behave so "amateur", which no one could have imagined.

So when the game ended, most people who cared about the Rockets lost their voices.

of course.

It's an exaggeration to describe it like this, and it's a bit exaggerated, but that's how the Rockets feel.

After all, they were in the playoffs at most, and they created a lot of miracles.

Unlike the outside world who were shocked by the Rockets, they themselves are very sensible.

After the game, they went back to their homes, no one went out, and cherished the feeling of victory very much.

After the game between the Rockets and the Nuggets, the game between the Pacers and the Knicks in the East still has the last quarter and a half.

Regarding these two teams, they basically support half and half before the game.

Some people say that the Knicks have a reasonable lineup, and with a super scorer like Carmelo Anthony in charge, they will give the Pacers two victories at most, and they will eventually enter the Eastern Conference Finals.

And fans and experts who support the Pacers are naturally supporting their favorite team.

They will say:

We not only have a super macho like Paul George who is making rapid progress, but also Roy Hibbert, the inside dark tower "Plateau".

In addition, we also have the former All-Star David West of the Hornets, the "junior brother" Lance Stephenson, and George Hill who continues to improve and is about to reach his peak stage. Our lineup is what we need. , extraordinary thickness.

But no matter how much it is said, it is all nonsense.

As the game started, it was natural to be happy and sad at the same time.

As soon as the game between the two teams started, the fans who supported the Knicks were immediately excited.

They will be excited, and that's entirely because it wasn't Anthony who played in the first quarter, and the little fat guy Raymond Felton exploded.

Throughout the first quarter, Anthony was directly reduced to the point of attracting firepower, and he made six very tough shots, but under the tough defense, his hit rate was very small, only two.

Not to mention Anthony's "wave throwing", under his attraction, the Pacers gradually ignored the performance of others, which made Felton's explosive start.

this section.

Felton took as many shots as Anthony, but he was very, very powerful.

He made 6 of 5 shots and made two free throws. He scored nearly half of the Knicks' 27 points in the first quarter.

Coupled with Anthony's 4 points, Iman Shumpert's 6 points, JR Smith's 3-pointer, and Tyson Chandler's two points after a dunk, the Knicks are definitely in full bloom in this quarter.

And what about the Pacers?

Their performance can't be said to be bad either. Seven of the nine players on the field scored points, but the core players didn't break the charts, and the performance of the role players was mediocre. That's why they were five points behind the Knicks.

In the second quarter, the situation on the field suddenly reversed.

The Pacers still scored multiple points, and even their team basketball was very scary. Paul George made 2 of 2 shots, Roy Hibbert made 2 of 2 shots, DJ Augustin made 2 of 2 shots, and everyone else shot [-]% of the time!
Just ask.

Isn't such a walker scary?
What's more, under their tough defense, the Knicks were in big trouble at that time.

In the whole quarter, they scored [-] points, which is not a small number, but compared to the performance on the field and the Pacers' [-] points, the problem can be seen from this point of view.

nowadays.

With the end of the third quarter, it seems that the final result of the game has appeared.

In this quarter, the Pacers made persistent efforts and scored 29 points again, while the Knicks scored [-] points.

Calculate like this.

Only the Pacers led by five points in the second quarter, and led by as much as [-] points in the third quarter. In the last quarter, the difference of [-] points was really small for the Knicks. difficulty.

But things are not absolute, and the NBA is also a place where miracles happen.

The Knicks team forged ahead and played a very smooth offense, which can be said to be playing against the Pacers.

But still the sentence just now, when they are [-] points behind the Pacers, unless they can crush the Pacers to death, at most it will be a tie.

However, the final result was not so ideal.

Although the Knicks played very fiercely, the holes dug before and the Pacers' own defensive ability allowed them to score [-] points, but they still failed to reverse the game.

In the end, the score of the two teams was fixed at 102:95. The combat effectiveness of the Pacers was also the team that surprised the Rockets fans the most.

After all, they are the third most expensive team in the Eastern Conference, and they haven't reached the point where they can suppress the second Knicks and set the tone of the game early.

But that's the way it is, defense wins games and offense wins the box office.

This is the end.

The game on May [-]th is over, and the Rockets will meet the challenge of the Nuggets again on May [-]th.
