Chapter 217
"The Spurs lost both home games, and the big score was dragged to 2:3 by the Houstonians. The Holy City is in crisis!"

In the early morning of the next day, the Rockets fans, who had been excited all night, pulled a few newspapers from the door of their house before catching up on sleep, and the reports on them were all the news they already knew last night.

Totoro broke out at the last moment, making 4 of 4 three-pointers in a row, scoring 6 points in the last 15 minutes, and forced the Rockets to pass through the Spurs' territory by themselves.

Since the Rockets retired from Olajuwon, they have not experienced what the Western Conference Finals are like for too long.

Regardless of Francis’s era or Yao Mai’s afterward, the Rockets have been able to make it to the playoffs almost every year, but they have fallen in the first round of the playoffs every year. , They actually have half a foot into the Western Conference Finals?No matter how you think about it, it's like dreaming!
"I am very happy because we can win the Spurs two games in a row here, but now is not the time to celebrate, because I and my players know that the Spurs are completely different from the Portland Trail Blazers. As a team, we should be more cautious and more prepared to be the winner of this series."

In the post-match interview, Totoro was not at all fluttering, and expressed his thoughts that he should be humble.

This is Totoro, a combination of contradictions. His brain circuit is completely opposite to that of normal people. When the team loses, he will appear very inflated, but once he has the advantage, he will appear extraordinarily low-key, making people Can't figure it out at all.

The Spurs reporters wanted to kneel down to Totoro and beg for mercy. When he was frustrated, his stubborn appearance made his teeth itch, and when the wind was downwind, his humble appearance made people unable to find the black spot. Those reporters wanted to beg Totoro Give a way to survive, how arrogant and arrogant, give your team a hard time, or the Spurs they support will really die.

And they didn't forget how they belittled Totoro after the first game. The other party didn't look like the kind of person who repays grievances with kindness, but it's just that the time has not come. After pulling back the home court advantage, those reporters could imagine that if the Rockets really won, what kind of victorious attitude would the Totoro take, pulling out his previous remarks, whipping the corpse and slapping them in the face severely.

The Rockets successfully brought the game back to the Dragonborn Cave Arena, while on the other side, the Cavaliers, known as the emperor of the new century, took a sharp turn for the worse.

This time in the Quicken Loans Center Arena, Howard went berserk once again and became a world-destroying monster. He scored 35 points, 36 rebounds, 24 assists and 5 blocks in 6 minutes of four quarters. Is it another record of the ancient gods? The data of 35+24+5+6 is probably not even the top four centers in the playoffs. If the time goes forward, Russell may have So many rebounds but not so many points, Chamberlain has so many points but can't reach so many rebounds. Today Warcraft can break out, except that the Cavaliers are still weak inside and the referees no longer target him. So far, only 47% of free throws have also exploded in this game, and it suddenly became 82%. When the hacking tactics no longer work, Howard is a beast that no one can stop.

3:2, the Magic took the lead to get the match point, and the Orlando people only needed one game to send the Cavaliers out. The sky over Cleveland suddenly became gloomy. They lost the battle of Tianwangshan at home. They were afraid that this was what they watched The last game of the season for the Cavaliers.

"I know losing a crucial game at home is disappointing to our fans and hurting our morale, but what I want to say is that it's not the end of the world, we haven't lost the final game, as long as we If we win the next game at Orlando's home court, then we'll have home court advantage again, and I'll advance to the next round at our home court."

But what's interesting is that James still looks like a boiled duck with only a hard mouth. Although what he said is fart in the eyes of industry insiders, if the referee factor is thrown away, the gap between the Magic and the Cavaliers is probably like the West The Lakers and Hornets are as huge as the current Lakers and Hornets, the Magic have excellent defense, the lineup structure is young and rich in combat power, the superstar also has Howard who can replace James alone, and the Cavaliers, on the other hand, can only help the little emperor Referee.

In terms of statistics, this is perfectly reflected. Except for Howard, the Turkish agent has 17 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists. Nelson has 24 points. Bass scored 6 points and 4 rebounds. Except for James who still scored 15 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists, the Cavaliers only scored 34 points, and no one else scored in double figures.

Speaking of the Lakers and the Hornets here, the young Hornets once again fell at the feet of the old and spicy Zijin Army. Although the queen bee Paul has found a way to break the Lakers' attack on him through several games of fighting, but in terms of hard power, the Hornets beat him. But just can't beat it.

Paul scored 24 points and 14 assists and still fulfilled the career that a qualified team leader should have in the playoffs. David West had 14 points and 8 rebounds, Chandler had 8 points and 13 rebounds, and Kobe Bryant had 27 points and 5 rebounds in the Lakers. 7 assists, Bynum 20 points and 8 rebounds, Gasol 16 points, 9 assists and 7 rebounds, Odom 18 points, Vujacic 12 points, Walton Jr. 9 points and 5 assists, Shannon Brown 7 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, Lakers The team seems to be a little bit better than the Hornets in every point from the starting lineup to the bench lineup. This advantage accumulated in the game is a huge difference.

The Hornets won four games only because they caught the Lakers by surprise in the first game. Now they are directly held by the opponent with three match points. It is really difficult to survive.
