Chapter 332 The Cavaliers Narrowly Beat the Pacers and the Jazz to Bring Back a City and the Rockets Beat the Timberwolves

Before the game between the Cavaliers and the Pacers, the news showed that the Cavaliers put Smith and Korver on the starting lineup, replacing Hood and Green.

Cavaliers starting lineup: Hill, Smith, Korver, James, Love.

Tylen Lu: Are you afraid?If you want to analyze my changes, I don't even understand what doesn't exist!
Lu: I am also a victim!Back then, they said that the coaching staff tied the dog and made it to the finals. That's why I came here...

……

At seven o'clock in the morning, the game between the Cavaliers and Pacers began.

As soon as the first quarter of the game came up, the Cavaliers were very aggressive. Oladipo was made a mistake and soon got two fouls and was forced to leave the field. James scored 13 points in the opening game and personally led the Cavaliers to a 13:0 , Bogdanovic finally helped the Pacers break zero with a free throw.James, Love and Korver hit three-pointers one after another, and the Cavaliers led 22:4.The Pacers mainly relied on Teneri's sudden outside shots to score points, Collison counterattacked successfully, and the Cavaliers suspended.After that, the two teams scored alternately. At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers led by 33 points at 18:15.

In the second quarter of the game, Oladipo scored 7 points in a row, Joseph scored 4 points in a row, and the Pacers narrowed the difference to 11 points in a wave of 2:7.Stephenson was active, but Love made all three-point free throws, Korver also contributed three-pointers, and the Cavaliers regained a double-digit lead.James staged consecutive dunks, halftime, the Cavaliers lead 58:46.

After changing sides, Korver continued to hit a three-pointer, Hill scored 5 points in a row, and the Cavaliers' lead expanded to 16 points.Oladipo teamed up with Thaddeus Young to play a 6:0 offensive. Turner continued his fiery state and also hit a three-pointer. The Pacers approached 9 points.Oladipo succeeded in two consecutive breakthroughs, and James scored 4 points in a row to stabilize the situation.At the end of the three quarters, the Cavaliers lead 74:67.

In the last quarter of the game, the two teams started a tug-of-war around the 7-point difference. James scored consecutive kills, the Cavaliers regained a 10-point lead, and the Pacers suspended.After the timeout, the Pacers played an 8:2 offensive under the leadership of Oladipo, and the point difference was reduced to 4 points.Nance scored with an air cut, Collison hit two consecutive three-pointers, and the defensive end made another offensive foul. The Pacers trailed by 3 points with 36.3 seconds left.Oladipo missed an open three-pointer, and James made two free throws.Oladipo missed a three-pointer again, and James made two free throws.Collison made a layup and JR made one of two free throws.Oladipo hit a three-pointer at the buzzer. At the end of the game, the Cavaliers beat the Pacers 100:97, and the big score was 1:1.

Tyronn Lue is really good. He adjusted his tactics and allowed James to win the game in only 40 minutes, 4 minutes less than he played!

Le Fu said yesterday that he had to find a way to slow down the fat Audi, but the old man thought of a good way - he turned into a Ferrari!
Tyronn Lue: James, believe in yourself, you will never die...

The old man must be a woman in his next life - because in this life, he's going to die.

Lu: Bring me another bucket of popcorn, this game is so good!

Lao Zhan scored nearly half of the team's points alone!This is not the Cavaliers playing the Pacers, it is James playing the Pacers.

Cavaliers fans: Although I won, I’m actually not happy at all. Lao Zhan is like this, and he only won by 3 points in the end. It’s really difficult. It’s very tiring. I don’t feel stable if I don’t lead by 30 points at the beginning!

此役，骑士老大勒布朗-詹姆斯火力全开，出战40分钟，24投17中，三分5中2，罚篮13中10，拿下46分12篮板5助攻2抢断。其中上半场，老詹就拿到29分8板4助1断（16中12）。

奥拉迪波出战28分钟，18投9中，三分8中2，罚球2中2，得到22分3篮板6助攻2抢断6失误。

It is worth mentioning that Oladipo made a return error at the beginning of the game. Then Audi was fouled by James, and he had another offensive foul in the next round, but was replaced; Audi came back in the second quarter, although the first 7 He made 6 shots, but only 11 of the next 3 shots. At the critical moment of chasing points in the final quarter, Oladipo missed several opportunities to chase points, and was finally helplessly pulled back by the Cavaliers.

If Audi hadn't been stopped by the traffic police at the beginning, the ending would be hard to say...

As soon as the Audi starts to accelerate, JR can only smell the exhaust...

If it weren't for Audi's 1 fouls in the first minute of the game, the Cavaliers would probably be GG!

Just like last year's finals G4, you can blow it or not...

At 7 minutes and 22 seconds of the fourth quarter, James pushed Stephenson, Stevenson fell to the ground, and James took advantage of the opportunity to score a layup.This ball must be an offensive foul, but it was not blown because it was Stevenson.

With 3 minutes and 54 seconds left in the fourth quarter, James pushed Bogdanovic again, and this time he was called for an offensive foul.

In this game, although the referee's whistle was a bit off, the main reason for the Pacers' loss was still to blame themselves.

Especially in the opening game, it was clear that the Pacers were not mentally prepared.

If you have prepared mentally in advance, Oladipo will not make a mistake as soon as he comes up, and then get two fouls immediately.

However, the Pacers team is still quite tough. They dug such a big hole when they came up, and they still have a chance to tie in the end.

It's impossible for James to play so against the sky in every game, so this round of the series is still very interesting.

……

At eight o'clock, the game between the Thunder and the Jazz began.

After the opening, the Jazz, aiming to equalize the big score, first entered the state and played a 9-0 climax, but Westbrook and Anthony immediately responded with nine points to help the Thunder tie the score. After that, the two teams fell into a stalemate, and the Jazz took a slight lead in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the two teams fired continuously from outside the three-point line. First, the Thunder overtook the score, and then the Jazz immediately regained the lead. In the first half, the Jazz led the Jazz 53-46.

In the third quarter, the Thunder's Big Three set off a wave of counterattacks and scored a 19-0 climax. Not only did they overtake the score, but they also took a double-digit lead. Mitchell stepped forward and scored consecutive points to help the Jazz catch up with the score again. The fourth quarter came up to a climax and took the lead again. After that, the Thunder made great efforts to tie the score. At the last moment, the Jazz made consecutive fouls and free throws to take the lead.

The Thunder's defense against Mitchell is really like a superstar, and Mitchell is also playing in superstar mode!
It's hard to beat Rondo when Rubio makes more than 3 5s, that's what CJ said...

The Jazz are the only team without an All-Star player in this year's playoffs!

At the end of the game, let's take a look at the data of the three irons of the Russian factory. The big irons made 19 irons with 12 irons, the second irons made 21 irons with 15 irons, and the three irons made 18 irons with 12 irons...

In the final quarter of the game, the Thunder only scored 16 points, and the Big Three in the team did not perform well. Together, the three made 14 of 0 shots and scored two points only with Westbrook's free throws.

整场比赛，威少出战37分钟19投7中，三分球3中2、罚球4中3，拿到19分9篮板13助攻4抢断；

乔治出场43分钟21投6中，三分球12中4、罚球4中2，得到18分10篮板1助攻3盖帽；

安东尼则是登场38分钟18投6中，三分球9中2、罚球4中3，拿下17分9篮板1抢断。

Melo: It's tough, but we have to move on...

Anthony is the kind of girl we see all the time, he looks ok but she acts like a 10 model and is a bitch to everyone and our opinion on that is: "You're not good enough to see It can be such a bitch."

Suddenly I feel that Durant is still hanging...

Don't be afraid of the second brother, the third brother is 12 out of 1.

The Thunder's three giant irons need to be ironed together!

本场比赛米切尔25中10，罚球9中8，拿到全场最高的28分外加6篮板2助攻1抢断。

In the first half of the game, Mitchell's hand feeling was a bit bad. He only scored 8 points in the first half, and the whole third quarter did not feel very good, but from the last 55 seconds of the third quarter until the fourth quarter 1 At 33 seconds, Mitchell enhanced his breakthrough and aggressiveness. He scored 12 points in these 20 minutes!Among them, after the Thunder hit a 19-0 attack wave at the end of the third quarter, Mitchell personally scored 1-7 in the last minute of the third quarter. From the end of the third quarter to the fourth quarter, he personally scored 0 points in a row!
According to statistics, Mitchell scored a total of 55 points in the first two games (1 points in G27). The players are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (4 points), Chamberlain (69 points), Marquis Johnson (63 points, tied for third), and David Robinson (57 points, tied for third).

It is worth mentioning that Mitchell is still the rookie guard with the most points in the first two games of the playoffs, followed by Michael Jordan (53 points)
It is said that Mitchell will become a superstar in the future, I don't think there is any need for it in the future, it is now!
7 of 0 three-pointers and 28 points!
Westbrook: The future is yours
Mitchell: Now also
Westbrook: ...

I used to hear Thunder fans say that Donovan is not good, but I saw it today. Isn't this Donovan awesome? !

本场卢比奥16中6，三分球8中5，罚球6中5，拿到22分9助攻7篮板外加1抢断的准三双数据，得分、助攻、篮板、三分球命中数全都创下了个人季后赛生涯新高。

When Rondo becomes Ron Sando and Lu Yizhong becomes Lu Guangzhong, it is difficult for their team to lose - Lu Xun.

"Where did the Thunder lose in this game?" the system asked.

"Free throw." He Pan said.

The statistics of the two teams in this game are similar, the three-pointers are terrible, the shooting percentages are in the early 30s, the turnovers and assists are similar, and the overall shooting percentages are also very close.

However, in terms of free throws, the Jazz made 33 of 23 free throws, while the Thunder only made 18 of 12 free throws.

For this alone, the Thunder lost 11 points!
In the end, the Thunder only lost by 7 points.

The Thunder team won the first game because of their incredible touch, especially pickled peppers, which covered up the team's single tactics and lack of coordination.

At the end of the most critical fourth quarter, the Big Three of the Thunder basically floated outside to shoot, persistently hitting the iron, while the Jazz reached the inside by cooperating with the ball, either making a shot or making a killing free throw to score.

With Westbrook, who has made a big killer, why do the Thunder still have so few free throws?
In the final analysis, the Jazz's defensive strategy is better.

Among the Thunder's Big Three, except for George's three-pointers, Westbrook's three-pointers are not even 30%, and Anthony is only 35.7% of the average.

Among the Big Three, only Westbrook has a good ability to control the ball and can break through and assist teammates. Anthony basically can't do it, George can do it, but the turnover rate is very high.

Except for the Big Three, none of the Thunder's other players are reassuring with three-pointers.

In this case, the Jazz’s strategy is to keep the tiger out of the hole and stay inside. Gobert, the most shot-blocking player in the league, will cover you if you come in. If you don’t come in, you can shoot from the outside. Never mind!

There is only one point for George to pay attention to, just try not to let him have three points.

Therefore, Westbrook played very depressed, and it was difficult to get inside and make a foul.

Unable to break through to the inside, it will be difficult for Westbrook to score and assist.

Even if the outside shot is hit, it will be piecemeal, and it will not cause fatal damage to the Jazz.

Like the Pelicans' defensive strategy, the Jazz's defensive strategy is implemented very resolutely and thoroughly.

You put in one or two, I admit it.

You can vote again.

Want to come in, no way!

I believe that even if you make a few shots now, you'll be back to your average over the course of the game.

One game won't work, one series will definitely come back!

This is faith!
If you want to win, I can, please use something you are not good at.

Absolutely no good at what you are good at.

This is where the level of the coach can be seen the most.

I have to say that the Jazz is a hard nut to crack.

……

At 09:30, the game between the Rockets and Timberwolves began.

The overall state of the Rockets in the first quarter was poor and they were passive. Harden felt cold in the first half and only made 12 of 1 shots. Bo's 19-1 offensive overtook the score in one fell swoop. With a 20-point margin in the second quarter, the Rockets led the Timberwolves 55-40 into the second half.

In the second half, although Harden still did not regain his form, the Rockets continued to expand their lead under the leadership of Paul and held on to a lead of more than 20 points. Zhou Qi also got a chance to play at the last moment and scored 2 points and 1 rebound.In the end, the Rockets beat the Timberwolves 102-82 to win the game, leading 2-0 on the total score.

I have always heard that "Wolf Warrior [-]" is very good, and I saw it today, it is really good!

The gap between the coaches is really big. Stevens uses a bunch of rookies and role players like superstars. What is Thibodeau playing with a good hand? !

在今天的比赛中，哈登手感不佳18投仅仅2中，三分10中1拿到12分4板7助3断3帽的数据。

哈登今天的投篮命中率为11.1%，追平火箭生涯（常规赛+季后赛）的最低纪录。在2014年4月10日对阵掘金的时候，哈登全场9投1中。

This is also the lowest shooting percentage in a single game of Harden's Rockets career playoffs. Against the Spurs on May 5 last year, Harden hit 4 goals in 17 shots in a single game.

The scary thing about the Rockets now is that even if Harden is sluggish on the offensive end, he can also affect the game on the defensive end.

At the same time, the Rockets' multi-point fire also made up for Harden's loss on the offensive end.

After the last game, Thibodeau: In the next game, if we strangle Harden, we will win the game!

After the game, the Timberwolves: Coach, who shall we pinch next?
Thibodeau: Or strangle me...

Harden scored 18 of 2 and the Rockets won, and the old man scored 46 and the Cavaliers narrowly won by 3 points!
After the game, Harden called James: Brother, you are so majestic today, I am miserable, I was beaten out.

Jen: What's the situation?
Deng: 18 out of 2, was defended like a fool.

Zhan: Haha, I told you not to pretend to be b, you were targeted, how many points did you lose?
Deng: We only won by 20 points...

Zhan: Get out!
Thibodeau was furious in the locker room: Harden must score high in the end game, so that we can see the dawn of victory.

……

In this game, Paul, who was sluggish on the field, regained his form!
全场出战30分钟，投篮18中10，三分5中3，罚球4中4，砍下27分8助3板3断！
In the first quarter of the game, the Rockets trailed the Timberwolves 18-23, and Paul led the team to a 37-17 attack wave in the second quarter!And maintained a good state throughout the game!
Harden: It's up to you to carry one game!

Paul: OK!

Harden: Also, the mission is over!

Paul: What task?
Harden: Zhou Qi's playoff debut!

Paul: Understood!

After all, it is to die!The question is whether to die in Paul's hands or in Harden's hands.

……

In this game, the Rockets made 52 of 16 shots from beyond the arc.

The Rockets' 52 three-point shots in this campaign also created a record for three-point shots in the playoffs.

The previous record for three-pointers in the playoffs was 50 set by the Rockets in last year's playoffs.

In fact, the Rockets' three-point shooting percentage is very low, only 30.8%, which has not even reached the season average.

Why did they still win by a big score?

Defense!

It doesn't matter if you can't make the shot, just defend it.

With this belief, the players will be more decisive in shooting.

And the more decisive the shooting, the more accurate it is!
So the terrible thing about this Rockets team is not his offense, but his defense.

……

In the last 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Rockets replaced Chinese player Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi also became the fourth Chinese player to appear in the playoffs after Big Zhi, Yao Ming, and UAE.

After playing, Zhou Qi first got a backcourt board. In the next offensive round, Zhou Qi made a European mid-range shot!

全场比赛，周琦出战3分钟，1中1得到2分1板。

Zhou Qi scored 2 points and 1 rebound!At the last moment, the European layup kills the game!
Big Devil made his playoff debut with a 100% hit rate, and the fatal mid-range shot took the game away!
Congratulations to Zhou Qi for surpassing Cousins ​​in the playoffs!
The big devil should be more confident, dare to take the ball, dare to attack, you must know that today you only scored one goal less than the MVP!

As long as Zhou Qi takes off his pants, the Rockets will win.

The man who dominates the game decides the outcome of the game.

Timberwolves: The big devil is on the scene, let's surrender our guns...

Zhou Qi's goal is very important, otherwise the Timberwolves will win by 18 points, so the fact that the NBA is recording and broadcasting will be exposed!

Harden: We only won by 18 points as agreed, Zhou Qi, you...

……

In this game, Towns has no offensive touch. After hitting a hook and a three-pointer in the opening game, he has no more sports goals.

全场比赛唐斯出场24分钟，9投2中得到5分10篮板1抢断1盖帽的数据。

Towns was interviewed after the game.

The reporter asked: "In order to prove yourself in the playoffs, do you feel more pressure?"

"No." Downs said. "I'm just going out there and playing and trying to figure out how to win. I'm not chasing the stats and the accolades. It doesn't matter. I'm here to win. As long as I can win, let me do anything. OK. Let me take 30 shots, 6 shots and 5 shots, or even no shots. It doesn’t matter, all I have to do is help the team win, which is my primary goal.”

It's like you got 30+ and then lost...

He played so fiercely that he only scored 3 points more than Zhou Qi!
Towns and Wiggins are not just a little bit worse than Simmons and Embiid!

Why!Some people are born for the big scene. Although Mitchell and Simmons are rookies, they are the double champions of the Timberwolves!
Xidi: Let's play again, you guys are going to play rockets tomorrow?If you play again, you can't win anyway...

……

Teague was interviewed after the game.

When talking about Towns' performance tonight, Teague said: "We have been working hard to ensure that Downs receives the ball. But their defense against Towns is very tight, and it is too difficult to give Downs the ball."

Towns: mmp, words don't matter, didn't you agree to let me play more yesterday, and today I won't even let me catch the ball!
The Rockets don't count their words!

……

"Where is the problem with the Timberwolves?" the system asked.

"Coach." He Pan said.

To be honest, it is difficult to find the same level of lineup talent in the Timberwolves in the league.

But in Thibodeau's hands, such a talented lineup has become a piece of shit.

If Bobo or Stevens come to be the head coach, the Western Conference finals are guaranteed!

On offense, the team has no coordination and mature routines at all, and relies entirely on the talents of the players to play.

Not to mention the defense, there is no clear strategy, going east and west, always swinging, which makes the players not know what to do.

Harden broke out in the last game, and this time he defended Harden. What about the next game?Is it going to be changed again?

Comparing the Pelicans and the Jazz, the Timberwolves played like a piece of shit!

Thibodeau does not dismiss get out of class, and the Timberwolves will never have a bright future.

"The host scored 1 points in this game. The current total score is 211 points, and the life value is 38 days." The system said.

……

In these three games, He Pan bet on the Pacers, Thunder and Rockets to win, but the Cavaliers, Jazz and Timberwolves won.

He Pan was also deducted 5 points because of this, the total score became 206 points, and the life value became 33 days.

"Tomorrow, how many points will the game host bet on the 76ers and the Heat, the Trail Blazers and the Pelicans, and the Warriors and the Spurs?" the system asked.

"Bet 5 points per game, the 76ers, Pelicans, and Warriors will win." He Pan said.

The Heat won the last game because of Wade's explosion, and he played against the sky to win a game.

Moreover, the Heat suddenly increased the intensity of the game a lot in the last game, and the young 76ers were very uncomfortable.

However, once they adapt to this rhythm, the 76ers, who are much more talented, still have a much better chance of winning.

As for the Pelicans, so far, there is no way for the Blazers to solve the defensive strategy of the Pelicans double-teaming.

Therefore, the Pelicans are more likely to win.

Not to mention the Warriors and Spurs, no matter how you look at it, as long as there are no major accidents, it is reasonable for the Warriors to win.

(End of this chapter)
