The fifth game between the Pelicans and the Warriors will be played this morning. Warriors player Klay Thompson was interviewed by reporters.

When a reporter mentioned whether the fifth game would pose a threat to the Warriors' series, Clay said: "Don't believe the hype, people are already talking about the matchup between the Rockets and the Warriors."

When referring to the fast-paced game style of this series, Klay said: "I haven't played such a fast-paced game since middle school."

Clay milked herself again

The Buddha is the Buddha, B pretends to be neither plague nor fire! ! !
Curry: You you...you actually went to middle school!
……

Talking about teammate Chasing Dream Green who had received death threats on Twitter before.

"Man, it's completely unnecessary. Seriously, it's pathetic. I think the Dreamers responded well, and it's not healthy when you're so focused on the game," Klay said.

"And it's really unnecessary, don't hurt anyone, it's horrible. I think David West gave a very appropriate response." Klay continued.

The netizen who sent out the death threat tweet later deleted the tweet and apologized to Dream Chaser, and Xi Ye responded to the netizen in that apologetic tweet: "Go to you * (man fuck U)."

Cray: Amitabha, monks are compassionate, fuck you!

Clay: Death threats like you?You didn't know where you were when I robbed the bank!

According to Raptors team reporter Josh Lewenberg, after another humiliating elimination by the Cavaliers, the Raptors are very inclined to part ways with head coach Casey.

According to Lewenberg, interim replacement candidates include assistant coach Nick Nurse, Rex Kalamian and Raptors Development League affiliate general manager Stackhouse.

Casey took over the team in 2011 and led the team to continuously improve the record step by step.From 23 wins at the beginning, it has increased to 59 wins this year.

Casey has one year left on his contract with the Raptors.

Although the Raptors were swept by the garbage brothers, especially DeRozan, it has to be said that Casey's problem is not small.

No matter how good James is, hasn't he played seven games with the Pacers? !

Comparing the lineup alone, the Raptors are definitely stronger than the Pacers.

Even the defending champion Warriors were settled by the Pelicans, and even the regular season champion Rockets were pulled down by the Jazz.

Are the Cavaliers better than the Warriors and Rockets? !

It's okay to lose, but no matter what, the Raptors shouldn't be swept away!
In general, Casey's problem is that he is conservative in using troops, stable and stable, without courage, and there are certain problems with on-the-spot command.

……

Dwight Howard talked about the situation of the Thunder this season when he was a guest on a show. He believed that the Big Three of the Thunder failed to go further. The main problem was that Westbrook failed to integrate George and Anthony.

"The ball is in Westbrook's hands most of the time." Howard said, "I often watch George and Anthony play, they just stand there and watch. At the end of the game, I think the ball should be given to Anthony more. Because he's a better finisher and Paul George is the guy who's going to get you 20-30 points in the first three quarters."

"Westbrook should mobilize the whole team, let everyone participate as soon as possible, and then let those people play. So far in his career, he has basically won all the personal honors. Now he should make the people around him better. "

What nonsense are you talking about!

Don't say it!It's as if you don't tell anyone who doesn't know...

Curry is hitting the basket every day, and Westbrook is penetrating and shooting his teammates.

This is the truth, Lei Ting has talent, and the tortoise wants a mouse to train him, but the mouse has never been found.

……

In this round of the series between the Jazz and the Rockets, rookie Mitchell has become the absolute core of the team's offense, and the US media also released a data comparison between Mitchell's rookie season and Hall of Famer Iverson's first playoffs.

So far this season, Jazz rookie Mitchell has taken 36 shots per 21.6 minutes in the playoffs, scoring 23.3 points and 3.5 assists, with a shooting percentage of 41.2%;

艾弗森生涯首次季后赛征程是在1998-1999赛季，76人在3-1斩落魔术之后第二轮0-4不敌步行者，8场比赛他每36分钟出手21.5次能够得到22.9分3.9助攻，投篮命中率为41.1%。（艾弗森98-99赛季季后赛实际出场时间为场均44.8分钟，场均能得到28.5分4.1篮板4.9助攻和2.5抢断）

It has to be said that Mitchell will become a master.

……

Before Game 5 against the Warriors, Gentry said of Dead Five: "You could call them any successful five because they were so good, you could compare them to the 'Jackson 5'. "(Jackson 5 is the starting point of music superstar Michael Jackson's career, and they are also the most successful black band in American history)

The reporter asked Gentry, if the Five Deaths are compared to Jackson 5, which one of the Warriors is Michael Jackson?

Gentry said: "They have two Michaels, okay? They have 2.5 Michael Jacksons."

Tang Shen: Give you another chance, 2.5 Michaels or 3?

Brother Deng: I had nothing to do with 1:3 back then, and nothing to do with me at 3:1 this year...

Brother Pao, 1:3 was my business back then, and 3:1 this year is still my business!
Harden's two Western Conference finals in the Rockets were sent by Paul...

Let everyone give way, Paul's fans are here, some of them are walking sideways, some are walking diagonally, some are floating, with crystal tears on their proud faces, everyone is chanting: I touched it ...Finally got it...

……

爵士新秀米切尔本场出战34分钟，投篮17中9，三分7中2，砍下24分4板9助1断！
It is worth mentioning that Mitchell scored 11 points in a single quarter on 8 of 22 shots in the third quarter, while the Rockets only scored 21 points in the third quarter.

The 22 points also tied Mitchell's career high in a single quarter.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Mitchell accidentally had physical contact with Harden when he was intercepted by Harden, causing a leg injury.

Subsequently, Mitchell, accompanied by staff, returned to the locker room for treatment.

But at the end of the game, Mitchell reluctantly returned to the court to accompany his teammates to end the journey of the season.

After the game, Mitchell paid tribute to the Rockets generals, and Paul hugged Mitchell and whispered for a long time.

Donovan Mitchell was interviewed after the game.

Speaking of his foot injury, Mitchell said: "It's similar to what happened in Thunder G1, the same thing, the same feeling."

Talking about his return after injury, Mitchell said: "Even if I don't play, I can't just sit in the background. I want to be with my teammates the whole game and go through everything. Just do it there. It's tough to watch, teammates are competing, and I'm happy for everyone to come together."

It's a pity, the third quarter was suspended, and the title was banned in the fourth quarter... I hope the injury will not affect his road to super giants!

Harden blocked Mitchell's breakthrough route. Mitchell should have hit him with the ball and made a foul. He's too young!
After watching Harden's defensive actions repeatedly, it is unclear whether Harden did it on purpose, but Mitchell's injury cannot be separated from him.

If the Warriors want to do what Harden does, they will definitely be sprayed by the sunspots!
The Jazz lost, but Mitchell didn't lose!
He played like Westbrook in the third quarter, but his demeanor after losing is not like Westbrook!

Mitchell said: Even if I stop playing, I can't just sit in the background. I want to be with my teammates throughout the game and experience everything.

Kawaii: Please explain what you mean!

"Did Harden foul this ball?" the system asked.

"Yes, but you don't have to blow it." He Pan said.

At that time, Mitchell singled out Harden. Harden judged Mitchell's dribbling route and knew that he was going to the right, so he reached out and broke the ball.

When Harden stole the ball, his leg was obviously in contact with Mitchell's leg, which also caused Mitchell to sprain his foot and was unable to continue the game.

However, it is difficult to judge whether Harden touched the ball first or had physical contact with Mitchell first.

According to the number of free throws made by Harden, it is no problem to call Harden a foul with this ball.

The offense is favorable, and dribblers must not be touched on the line. Harden often uses this rule to cheat fouls.

Therefore, since there is physical contact, it is okay to call Harden a foul.

However, if you think about it from another angle, this is the playoffs, and the intensity of the playoffs is greater than the regular season itself. Since it is impossible to judge whether to touch the ball first or have physical contact first, it is acceptable not to call Harden a foul .

"The host scored 1 points in this game. The current total score is 222 points, and the life value is 31 days." The system said.

……

In this game, Harden was affected by his body and did not perform well throughout the game.

全场结束，哈登出场34分28秒，投篮22中7，得到了18分4篮板4助攻2抢断数据。

Harden was interviewed after the game.

The reporter asked: "D'Antoni just said that you are sick, can you tell me what happened?"

Harden shook his head slightly and said, "I'm fine (Nothing)."

The reporter continued to ask: "Can you overcome it?"

Harden nodded slightly, followed by a moment of silence.

Brother Deng thought to himself: How can I tell you the truth, I dreamed that Kardashian's child would really take a three-point step back...

Harden became timid, TT became fierce, what's going on?

……

In this game, Paul was in a brave state. He scored 41 points, creating a new career high in the playoffs. His previous highest score in a single playoff game was 35 points.

全场比赛他22投13中，三分10中8，罚球8中7砍下41分7篮板10助攻，没有失误。

保罗第4节9投7中，三分4中4，怒砍20分接管了比赛。20分的单节得分也是保罗职业生涯单节最高得分（包括常规赛和季后赛）。

Paul became the first player to score at least 1977 points and 78 assists in a playoff game without turnovers since the statistics of turnovers in the 40-10 season.

This is the first time that Rockets guard Chris Paul has reached the conference finals in his career. He has stopped in the second round 4 times before:

2007-08赛季，保罗率领的黄蜂在2-0领先的情况下，被马刺以4-3逆转淘汰
In the 2011-12 season, the Clippers led by Paul were swept out by the Spurs 4-0
In the 2013-14 season, the Clippers led by Paul were eliminated by the Thunder 4-2
2014-15赛季，保罗带领的快船在3-1领先的情况下，被火箭4-3逆转淘汰
In the 13 seasons of his career so far, Paul has reached the playoffs 10 times, of which 5 times he stopped in the first round, 4 times he stopped in the semifinals, and 1 time (this season) he reached the Western Conference Finals.

In the game that ended the series in the history of the NBA playoffs, Paul was the second player to get 40+10 (assists).

The last player to do so was Michael Jordan, who scored 1989 points, 40 assists and 10 turnovers in 6.

Jordan: I am everywhere, but why write out 6 mistakes? ?
Congratulations to Paul, 2 for 0 in the opening game, 10 for 8 in the final game, and [-] three-pointers in a row!
After attacking for more than ten years, I finally inserted it...

Paul: The floor of the Western Conference finals has to rely on yourself!
Today Harden and Mitchell failed to stop Sao Paulo's dream of the Western Conference Finals!

Paul: Harden, you can't stop me from going to the Western Conference Finals twice...

Paul fans: Rockets 3:1 I didn't walk sideways, Lao Zhan was very close to the Eastern Conference finals, I didn't walk sideways, I couldn't help it today, for Brother Pao's dream of the Western Conference finals, I have to walk sideways for a while!Excuse me, excuse me, damn it, with so many people walking sideways, when will they be able to get home!

The amazing thing is that Paul once lost 58 points in the playoffs and never made it to the conference finals. In this year's playoffs, Paul ended this record on May 5. Among them, he hit 8 mid-range shots and 5 three-pointers. Points, data 8+41+10 = 7 waited for 58+5 = 8 years! ! ! Didn't make it to the Western Conference Finals in 13 years, and waited until James Harden on the 13th to end this embarrassing record together. It is worth mentioning that in the game the Rockets won, the total score difference added up to exactly 13 points!
It took Paul 13 years to touch the floor of the Western Conference finals, but it took me, Zhou Qi, only one year!
Harden quietly wanted to put on the headband, but Paul cried out when he saw the slap!
Rockets fans: To be honest, it would be dangerous without Paul. Why is Deng Ge's performance in the playoffs the same as that of the Chinese stock market?Paul's performance in the playoffs is the same as China's property market?It really is the Chinese home team!
……

After the campaign, Paul advanced to the Western Conference Finals for the first time in his career.

After Paul played 86 playoff games in his career and advanced to the Western Conference Finals for the first time, the US media rearranged the list of players who played the most playoff games in active service but did not advance to the conference finals.

It is worth mentioning that the players on this list are all current or former Clippers players:

1. Crawford 74 games

2. Jordan played 57 games

3. Lou Williams 52 games

4. Griffin 51 games

Who said that those who sailed in the past couldn't fly rockets? ?
It turns out that the floor of the Toyota Center is the floor of the Western Conference finals. Paul has touched it for a season!

Liaoning's thousand-year curse, Paul's Western Conference floor, and Texas' three major illusions were all broken in 2018.

The Rockets played against the Huskies in the playoffs this year, the Jazz in the second round, and the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals... According to this routine, are they going to play the Cavaliers in the finals?

No, Boston is also possible!

……

After the game, Zhou Qi also posted on Weibo, with the caption: Rocket Rocket RUN AS ONE Rocket Rocket.

In the first round of the playoffs, Zhou Qi got 3 opportunities to play, but only played a total of 6 minutes and scored 2 points.But since the start of the Western Conference semifinals, Zhou Qi has never gotten playing time.Today, Zhou Qi even sat on the sidelines in a suit, completely unactivated.

Zhou Qi, celebratory center...

……

After the game, Zhao Jiwei, who has the title of "Anshan Paul", congratulated Chris Paul for his first break into the Western Conference Finals on Weibo: "@Chris Paul 13 years of waiting, I understand you! Where is it lost, where is it back! Western Conference Decide on the floor", come on, just do it! @周琪老铁Come on, get your tickets ready! "

Durant in Asia is waiting for his opponent in the Western Conference Finals, and that's right, Zhou Qi from the United States.

Jiaozuo LeBron congratulates Cleveland Li Gen: Congratulations on making it to the Eastern Conference Finals again!
Liaoning Westbrook: Westbrook, don't call the American Guo Ailun in the future, it will embarrass me!

Zhou Qi has been reduced to a high-level scalper of the Rockets...
