Chapter 315 Regional Finals
Paul Westphal looked at the players of the two teams with a serious face.

Thanks to the comprehensive medical system that they first established, the Magic has had the lowest injury rate in the league for two consecutive years.

Seeing that the medical system established by the Magic is so effective, the Suns specially sent people to the Magic to discuss cooperation issues.

And Davis also generously helped the Suns establish a system similar to the Magic.

No way, they gave too much. . .

Therefore, Westphal received a report from the team doctor that after the Suns played a full four overtime series, the physical fitness of all members has reached the verge of exhaustion.

He believed that the opponent's physical strength should also be on the verge of collapse, so he confidently believed that the victory or defeat of this crucial 7th tie-break did not depend on the tactical arrangements of the two teams, but on which team had the stronger willpower.

However, after playing, the Mavericks did not show any physical breakdown at all, and Hardaway and Hill were still full of vitality without a trace of fatigue.

Seeing that Hill can still fly into the sky, rush to the inside line with terrifying speed, and then jump up to score with terrifying heights, Westphal smells something ominous.

"How could they be so strong?" Westphal mused on the question as he watched the Mavericks gain a lead they had never had in this series in the first quarter.

He has no better way now, but to continue to let Barkley, Dan Marley and Kevin Johnson continue to play.

This game is too critical, so knowing that the players' physical strength is exhausted, continuing to play will increase their risk of injury, but Westphal can only force them to play.

Barkley did live up to Westphal's expectations. He scored 16 points in a single quarter in the second quarter, and he just helped the team tie the score at the end of the half.

But looking at the duo of Hill and Hardaway walking off the court in good spirits at the end of the half, and Barkley, who was sweating profusely and panting, the ominous feeling in Westphal's heart became stronger and stronger.

He never imagined that the team he had painstakingly built might lose to the most inconspicuous Mavericks, a rebuilding team that was thought to be [-]% in the first round at the beginning.

In the third quarter, the Suns, who continued to let Barkley play, were still clinging to the score.

Just when Westphal thought the team still had a chance, in the fourth quarter, the early overdraft of physical strength made the Suns taste the bitter fruit.

Under the leadership of Gemini, the Mavericks beat the Suns in the next wave.

They played a 3-13 spurt in 2 minutes, which completely ended the game and was also the suspense of this round of the series.

巴克利出场45分钟，拿下了46分15篮板5助攻1抢断2盖帽的全面数据。

But his own superb performance cannot cover up the sluggish performances of Dan Marley and Kevin Johnson.

On the other hand, Hill and Hardaway on the opposite side played with complete confidence. The two scored 71 points together, once again dominating the perimeter of the two teams.

Once again, the Mavericks became the biggest dark horse in this year's playoffs and broke into the Western Conference Finals beyond everyone's expectations.

In another game, the game between the Rockets and the Jazz also reached 7.
Their strength gap is even smaller, and the total score difference in the first six games is only 2 points.

"Michael, who do you think can win this game?" Anna curled up in Davis' arms and asked him his opinion on the upcoming game.

"I really don't know this, but I know that if the Rockets win this series, then the team in the Western Conference to enter the Finals should be the Rockets."

"Where is Sir?"

"Don't you think Jazz is like the sun?" Davis asked Anna back.

Anna nodded thoughtfully.

In the tiebreaker between the two teams, the two sides, who had already figured out the opponent's foundation, began to frantically target their core figures.

Hakeem Olajuwon, and Karl Malone.

But Drexler managed to steal the show.

他全场三分球7中5，罚球14中10，拿下了31分10篮板3助攻。

Olajuwon also only scored 33 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. . .

Because of Drexler's stealing the spotlight, the Jazz seemed to have punched Cotton. Sloan's face became more and more ugly as Drexler scored more and more off the court.

The Rockets can have Drexler stand up, but the Jazz's second-in-command, Stockton, can't stand up when the team needs him to score.

14中4，12分1篮板5助攻，这就是斯托克顿整整41分钟交出来的数据。

The Rockets finally won the last tiebreaker by 91-95 points at home.

In this way, the final list of the East and West division finals came out.

Orlando Magic vs. Chicago Bulls.

Houston Rockets vs. Dallas Mavericks.

Before the series, Javi gave Davis a pre-match physical examination.

"Michael's current physical condition is still far from being able to participate in the game normally, but what has always surprised me is that when his physical condition is not a problem, his performance is no different from that of a top player."

D'Antoni looked at the report Javi gave him, and looked up at Javi.

"Then what is your opinion?"

"According to Michael's current physical recovery speed, I suggest that he concentrate on continuing his recovery training at home. In this way, if we can drag the series to the tiebreaker, there is a certain possibility for him to fully recover."

D'Antoni nodded, looked at Davis who was obediently waiting for the results to be announced like a primary school student, and made a decision.

"Michael, you continue to cultivate."

As a result, the Magic fans were surprised to find that Davis, who was still sitting on the sidelines in the last round of the series, did not show up at their home court.

Although D'Antoni had announced before the game that Davis would not play due to injury, most people thought it was just a smoke bomb put by the Magic.

When DeWeese did not appear on the scene, they discovered that DeWeese's injury seemed to be more serious than they expected.

Jordan looked at O'Neill with a half-smile.

"Michael didn't come, how can you win the game?"

O'Neill shook his big head.

"Michael, don't underestimate us. Even if Davis is not here, you don't mean to win if you win."

"Then let's see." After Jordan finished speaking, he walked directly to his own half.

O'Neill looked at Jordan's back with very serious eyes, not at all like the usual happy big shark.

Although he can't admit defeat, but without Davis, O'Neal really doesn't have much confidence in this round of the series.
