Chapter 648 Defending the home field II

The Warriors won the first game with difficulty, and the two teams played the most intense matchup in the first round of the league.

At the same time, the remaining three matchups were also released. The Mavericks beat the Lakers 106 to 77, the Suns beat the Nuggets 99 to 87, and the Cavaliers beat the Wizards 97 to 82.

After the playoffs kicked off, the first two days consisted of four games a day, after which the schedule was relatively easier.

In principle, the competition in the same city is played every two days, but in practice, there will be a three-day competition.

For example, after the game between the Warriors and the Spurs, the NBA only scheduled two games the next day, namely the Pistons against the Magic and the Rockets against the Jazz.

Chinese fans enjoy it, and they can watch the news of the stars they care about most every day.

On the same day, the Pistons and the Magic played first. The Pistons defeated the young Magic 98-90. Howard only had 8 points and 11 rebounds, no blocks and no steals. The team made 19 of 8 outside three-pointers, and the shooting percentage was as high as 4%.

Then came the Rockets against the Jazz, still at the Toyota Center.

What is amazing is that the Rockets and the Jazz also scored 98 to 90. The Rockets won by 8 points. Carlos Boozer scored 41 points and was the Jazz's best player.But Yao Ming and McGrady scored 58 points together, and the Rockets got more free throw opportunities and finally won.

Of course, in the home game, the bias of the referee's whistle was immediately apparent.

Although most of the Jazz's offense ends with shots after the pick-and-roll, the difference in the number of fouls between the two teams is a bit big. The Jazz only made 17 free throws, while the Rockets had 38 free throws. The Rockets made 34 of them. [-] free throws became the key to determining the outcome of the game.

No wonder, after the game, the media in Salt Lake City complained about this, thinking that the referee had adopted a double standard, and both Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady received body hair-level fouls.

But no matter what, the Rockets have already led the Jazz 2-0 by a big score.

On April 4, the second game of the first round of the playoffs continued.

The Heat continued to lose miserably to the Bulls, the Lakers couldn't beat the Mavericks 98 to 112, and the Nets lost to the youth Raptors 83 to 89.

Many people lamented that the NBA has really changed. O and K, who used to dominate the league, have become frustrated ones.There are also veteran superstars like Carter and Kidd who are no match for rookies like Chris Bosh and Bargnani. If the Nets can't break through the first round this season, they don't have to play next season. Disband it.

On April 4, the Warriors played the second game against the Spurs.

On the way to the arena, Yang Di saw some fans in groups, wearing Warriors jerseys in groups, some were black, and most of them were wearing white jerseys for the home court. Ray Allen’s No. 20, his No. 8, and he even saw Byron's No. 3 jersey.

Yang Di wore earphones and automatically blocked some fans who called him. Accompanied by the staff to clear the way, he walked into the arena.

Just in time, I ran into Monta Ellis who also walked in wearing earphones. Monta Ellis was wearing a bright red sweater, ripped denim and white sneakers, looking trendy.

The two greeted each other and entered the locker room first.

In the locker room, the two began to change clothes.

NBA locker rooms are often allowed to open, but that is after the game, the time before the game is relatively tight, and the interview before the game is not very important, and the interview after the game result is more meaningful.

Before the game started, Oracle Arena was already occupied by fanatical Golden State fans, and a lot of noise penetrated the walls and reached the locker room.

The players arrived one after another, and under the leadership of the staff, they went to the arena for pre-match training.

Head coach Montgomery and assistant coach Ron Adams stood there, and the two seemed to be talking about something, drawing tactics on the tactical board.

CCTV5 broadcast live every day after the start of the playoffs. Coincidentally, the games involving the Rockets and Warriors happened to be separated, and the NBA officials thought of this and arranged it in this way.

The focus battle attracts everyone's attention.

At the beginning of the game, the screen cuts to the scene. The players from both sides have completed their warm-up training, leaving 5 players in the starting lineup, lined up and ready to start the battle.

Then the scene changed and he was back in the studio.

"Welcome everyone to watch the NBA 2006-07 playoffs, the Warriors vs. Spurs game. I am Yang Jian, the commentator for this game, and Zhang Weiping is sitting next to me. Today, the two of us will explain this game for you. The game." Yang Jian's commentary style is just like his name, very steady, and his speech is not rushed, and he is well-known in the basketball commentary circle.

Zhang Weiping nodded and greeted with a smile, and the two started a normal conversation before the game, until the fans got impatient waiting, the director cut the scene back to the scene.

"Let's take a look at the two teams starting today."

"The Warriors continued their usual lineup here, point guard Fisher, shooting guard Ray Allen, small forward Danny Granger, power forward Yang Di, center Tyson Chandler. Spurs There's still no change on the team side, with point guard Tony Parker, shooting guard Michael Finley, small forward Bruce Bowen, power forward Tim Duncan, and center Francisco Elson."

"The lineups of both sides have not changed much from the previous game."

"That's right, but there may be some different adjustments in the middle of the game. After the last game, the two sides have a better understanding of their opponents."

The game started, jump ball, Duncan beat Tyson by jumping.

The Spurs took possession of the first wave of offensive ball. Parker controlled the ball with his right hand and raised his left hand to command. Duncan and Elson set a pick and roll for the two flank players in the three-second zone. After Finley came out to receive the ball, Parker ran to An ambush in the right corner, Duncan moved to the high position and Finley made a pick-and-roll.

This pick-and-roll change made Montgomery frown on the sidelines.

Finley used to be a super swingman in the league. At his peak, he formed a trident with Nowitzki and Nash in Dallas, but now he is 34 years old. Although he is in good condition, if he is used as the main attacker, Is it a little too big?Or, are there other changes in this wave of Spurs' offense?
Just thinking about this, Finley, who completed the pick-and-roll, passed the ball back to Duncan. Duncan fell to the low post and singled Yang Di, turned around, and shot with a small hook.

After the basketball hit the board and fell into the basket steadily, Yang Di stretched out his arm to interfere, but it didn't work.

Duncan backed back with a blank expression, Yang Di bent down to pick up the basketball, quickly served the baseline ball, and was ready to advance quickly!
