Chapter 309 Another city!
The second day is the Eastern Conference finals. The first game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Atlanta Hawks starts in Atlanta.

In the game against the Boston Celtics, Love dislocated his arm in a pull with Olynyk and was reimbursed for the season. It was in this situation that the Cleveland Cavaliers started the Eastern Conference Finals with the Atlanta Hawks.

The final score of the first game was 94:82. The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Atlanta Hawks by 8 points in the away game. LeBron James scored 30 points, 11 assists and 9 rebounds in this campaign. Quasi-triple double, but it can no longer arouse people's amazement, because there is a pervert in the West , Always a triple-double of 50+, people have been fed up with appetite.

On May 5, Game 21 of the Western Conference Finals kicked off.

The grand occasion of the Oracle Center is still there, and the Houston Rockets are making a comeback!
At the beginning of the game, Coach McHale's starting lineup was: James Harden, Trevor Ariza, Josh Smith, Dwight Howard and Jason Terry.

Steve Kerr's starting lineup is: Zhang Xin, Klay Thompson, Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green, Andrew Bogut.

With a jump ball in the middle circle, the Rockets won the ball for the first time.

Tonight's Rockets have changed their strategy in the first quarter, mainly focusing on letting Josh Smith and Howard open first in the interior, and Harden doesn't attack much. It should be to learn from Harden's lack of energy at critical moments in the last game.

Harden was the same as the last few rounds. After halftime, he sent the ball to the inside. Josh Smith caught the ball and leaned against Draymond Green. The others retreated. Green pressed Josh Smith hard. Then he sat back heavily, Green elbowed Josh to prevent him from turning around easily, Josh elbowed Green to open the way and made a layup!

The referee neither called Green's defensive foul nor Josh Smith's offensive foul, acquiescing that this was a normal confrontation. Green and Josh were very dissatisfied, and this dissatisfaction was reflected in the following games.

Josh and Green's confrontation became more and more violent, and their anger became more and more intense.

Howard received the ball under the basket, turned around and threw the ball to the basket like a discus throw. Under Bogut's interference, it was a pity that he didn't make a shot.

Green and Josh have been entangled for a long time, jamming each other and trying to take the ball off, Green hugged Josh's waist, Josh's elbow rested on Green's neck, the referee hadn't blown the whistle, now the two No one did it, Green hugged Josh's neck, Josh pushed Green away fiercely, Green was pushed back a few steps, Green was furious: "Fuck!" He was about to rush up to fight Josh.

The other people on both sides rushed up and pushed Green and Josh away respectively. Zhang Xin hugged Green: "Calm down, what is our goal?"

Green was hugged by Zhang Xin's arms like iron pincers, and he couldn't move. He was suddenly sobered by Zhang Xin's words. He had always been particularly convinced by Zhang Xin, and he was willing to follow Zhang Xin's command.

Josh was still cursing there, wanting to rush over to fight Green.

The referee watched the playback carefully and gave Green and Josh a technical foul respectively, but this was only the beginning.

The Warriors and the Rockets took the lead alternately, playing very anxiously.

When Harden broke through Thompson, the ball was taken down by Zhang Xin next to him, and he directly launched a conversion attack. Today, Zhang Xin played well and kept scoring on Ariza's head. Ariza was very angry. See Zhang Xin After a layup, his brain got hot, and he pushed Zhang Xin from behind. Zhang Xin was directly pushed off the court and fell into the crowd. Fortunately, he was not injured.

This time, everyone was outraged. The Warriors swarmed in front of Ariza, especially Green, who wanted to push Ariza away, but was pulled away by Bogut. Green had a technical foul on his back!

Seeing that Ariza was surrounded by the Warriors, the Rockets rushed over and pushed the Warriors away to protect Ariza. People from both sides pushed and yelled. strife.

The referee watched the replay carefully. Ariza's action was unnecessary and excessive physical contact, and he was directly expelled by the referee. The Warriors made two free throws and one throw.

Thompson has been defending Harden since the beginning of the game. Harden didn't attack with the ball much in the first quarter today, but after the second quarter, Harden was full of firepower, forcing Thompson to foul. As a guard, Thompson is a rare foul. There are many guards, not because Thompson's defense is not good, but because he defends too well and always defends the opponent's top scorer, so he always fouls too much.

Tonight, Thompson is defending against James Harden, who is the best at drawing fouls in the league. Even in the playoffs, with the escalation of physical confrontation, the referee has reduced Harden's body whistle, but Thompson still received a lot. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Harden rushed in, raised his hand and hit Thompson's outstretched hand, the referee's whistle sounded at the right time, and Thompson received 6 fouls and was expelled!

Cole expressed his dissatisfaction and yelled at the referee from time to time. This time he rushed over and yelled at the referee's face, and was called a technical foul by the referee!
The audience on the sidelines scolded the referee "referee sucks! referee sucks!" (referee sucks)
The audience is very dissatisfied with today's referee. He did nothing on the field and allowed excessive physical contact between the two sides, which almost caused a conflict. Now he actually sent off Thompson, one of the main scorers, at home. This is simply too disrespectful. The home fans have lost face!

Now the two sides are even. The Rockets' defensive champion Trevor Ariza was expelled, and the Warriors' defensive champion Thompson was also sent off. Both Harden and Zhang Xin were liberated. Now the two sides have entered an offensive battle. I scored one, and I also scored one. In the last 1 minute, the scores of the two sides were evened!
At the last moment, Zhang Xin stepped forward and hit two consecutive three-pointers to win the game. In this game, Harden scored 34 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds. Of course, it cannot be compared with Zhang Xin, a pervert, but for the Harden is already a very good statistic, this is the playoffs after all.

Zhang Xin scored 52 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds. This is not too much for Zhang Xin. It is relatively normal to be able to score this data in 40 minutes of playing time. The difference between Zhang Xin and James is that Zhang Xin has three The number of points shot is much higher than that of LeBron James. In the regular season, Zhang Xin averaged at least four or five three-pointers per game. In the playoffs, he averaged at least six or seven three-pointers per game.

Three-pointers are Zhang Xin's main scoring method. For LeBron James, it is more of a means to force opponents not to let him go at will, so it is understandable that Zhang Xin's scoring average is much higher than James.

The Warriors won the second game of the Western Conference Finals, with a big score of 2:0, and the next game is going to Houston, the aviation city, to challenge the Rockets!
