Chapter 232 (230-[-]) Take Tianwang Mountain
As soon as the players from both sides appeared on the field in the second half, the Rockets fans cheered bursts of cheers, just because Yao Mai Shuangxing returned to the field.McGrady has regained the recognition of the fans through his hard-working and down-to-earth performance. Everyone believes that he will slowly regain the feeling of shooting. Before that, the team needs his defense.

Jefferson sat off the court to rest. He played the second quarter and kept defending Kobe, which was a lot of consumption.

When the Rockets kicked off, Reed took the lead in firing from the outside. Battier reached out to block, but Reed missed the shot.

"Michael missed his chance," Johnson sighed.

"That's not the case. Take a closer look, Battier defended well." Yuan Fei said.

"The height of his hand can't be blocked at all?" Johnson asked in surprise.

"He's not blocking shots at all, but covering his eyes!" Jefferson and Battier have faced each other before, and he knows the opponent's defensive skills.

"That's right, his defensive method is not to block shots, but to block the opponent's shot vision." Yuan Fei pointed out the opponent's brilliance: "This is a difficult technique, not as simple as it seems."

"So, it's really hard to make a shot if the line of sight is blocked." Johnson finally understood.

Deron broke through for a layup and slipped out of the basket under Yao Ming's interference.McGrady took off the rebound and advanced directly, and was transported to the frontcourt and handed over to Bosh for a jumper, 48:57.

Deron assisted Kobe to hit a three-pointer, narrowing the point difference to 6 points.But at this time, no one could have imagined that this was Kobe's last point in this section.

Kobe was so excited after scoring the goal, he was a little distracted.McGrady suddenly showed his power. He ran off the ball and got rid of Kobe and hit a three-pointer after receiving a pass from Yao Ming.

"Another AnswerBall!" Barkley was excited, "Let's see how Kobe responds to his opponent."

Kobe really wanted to play with the ball, but McGrady tried his best to defend against it. Bosh also saw Kobe's intention to play hard, and stepped forward to try to help defend.Seeing that he had no chance, Kobe turned to hang the ball inside, but Gasol missed the shot.Mutombo grabbed the rebound and was slapped out by Yao Ming with a big cap.

Reed broke through and caused a foul, and made 2 free throws. The 51:62 point difference returned to double digits.

Kobe hit McGrady with his back, forced a step forward and leaned forward to shoot, but missed!The Rockets attacked Yao Ming and succeeded in singles at the basket.

The Lakers began to get impatient, and Deron missed a three-pointer.McGrady simply pulled up a jumper and hit a two-pointer, 51:66.

"Could it be that T_Mac has regained his touch?" Smith said in amazement: "If he returns to the MVP level, the Lakers will be in danger!"

But McGrady's contribution is not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end.His sudden force completely froze Kobe. Not only did Kobe feel in a slump, but it was also difficult for him to get the ball and send a wonderful pass for his teammates.

Reed made a mistake and the ball was directly cut off by Battier.Kobe reacted quickly and rushed directly to the frontcourt, receiving a pass from Battier and was about to perform a wonderful slam dunk.A smug thought flashed in Kobe's heart. McGrady defended well, but he couldn't stop this ball, right?
But the moment he shot, a big hand flew from the right and slammed the ball out of the sideline.It's really Maddie!
The audience witnessed this miraculous defense. When Battier stole the ball, McGrady was running with his back to Battier.When Kobe ran to the front court, he had already opened two big strides with McGrady.Just when Kobe narrowed his pace and prepared to jump high to perform a slam dunk, McGrady ran wildly, shortening the distance between the two of them, chasing after him like a roaring train, and suddenly appeared in the sky above Kobe. This palm was very hard, and directly fanned the ball out of the sideline.

"It's an amazing defense!" Director Zhang Weiping was also full of praise: "The star Tracy McGrady is so active, the Rockets can be said to use their lives, and the ball will be stable."

As director Zhang said, the ball is stable.Although Kobe regained his shooting feeling in the fourth quarter, he made 4 of 4 shots, but at this time the point difference has widened to 20 points.In the end, Kobe scored 37 points in the air, and the Lakers lost to the home team Rockets 92:111, losing this important battle of Tianwangshan.

The next two teams will move to Staples, if the Lakers lose their game this season will be over.

The Eastern Conference finals came to an end before them.In the first game, the visiting team, the Heat, took the lead and firmly controlled the game for most of the time.Although Bodi Loga woke up and hit consecutive three-pointers at the last moment, the Heat players made steady free throws and finally defeated their opponents by 5 points.

The second game was completely reversed. The Heat were defended by the Pistons at 12:25 at the beginning, and soon fell behind by a big score.Although Wade broke out in the second quarter and scored 14 points in a single quarter to slightly narrow the gap, the Pistons still firmly maintained a lead of about 10 points.In the last 2 minutes of the Heat's fight, veterans Walker and Payton suddenly showed their strength, chasing points again and again.12 seconds before the end of the game, Wade grabbed the offensive rebound, dribbled out and hit a three-pointer, magically narrowing the point difference to 2 points.But it was too late for them to wake up. After Bodi Loga made 2 free throws, Lynch Hunter stole Wade.In this way, the Pistons defeated the opponent with 4 points without any risk, and tied the big score to 1-1.

But when it came to the Heat's home stadium, the American Airlines Arena, the situation was completely different.Wade and O'Neal both broke out, one scored 35+8+4, and the other scored 27+12. Although Bodi Loga also scored 31 points, he seemed alone.The Heat beat their opponents by 15 points. The fourth game on May 5 turned into a defensive battle. No one in the Pistons scored more than 29 points.The Heat have the invincible Wade. He resolutely broke through the inside and caused fouls. He scored 15 points on 19 of 15 free throws.However, several core members of the Pistons were trapped in fouls and struggled to play.Rashid was sent off for 31 fouls, and Bodi Loga and McDyess also reached 6 fouls.In the end, the Heat defeated their opponents by 5 points and won the match point of the series.

On May 5, the Pistons at the Palace of Auburn Hills finally pulled back a victory thanks to Bodi Loga's triple-double.But on June 31, their luck came to an end.O'Neal broke out strongly and scored 6+2 in the first half, helping the team get a double-digit lead.The Pistons gradually lost confidence in winning, and Wade was the sharp knife with a fatal look.He scored 19 points efficiently on 9 of 6 shots in the third quarter, widening the point difference to 5 points.The entire fourth quarter has been reduced to garbage time, and the Pistons' weak counterattack failed to pose a real threat.In this way, the Heat, who lost last year's Eastern Conference finals due to Wade's injury, finally proved that they are the king of the Eastern Conference this year.They reached the finals first, waiting for the winner among the lakes of fire.
