Chapter 506 The first battle!

On May 2018, 5, the 14-2017 NBA Western Conference Finals kicked off at the Talking Stick Resort Hotel Arena in Phoenix. Both sides have passed all the way to the Western Conference Finals, and the teams that can break out in the Western Conference and enter the Western Conference Finals , One is strong strength, and the other is extraordinary luck, especially the competition in the Western Conference this season is even more brutal!

The Oklahoma City Thunder of the Big Three, the Houston Rockets with dual cores, the Golden State Warriors with the five dead, the Memphis Grizzlies with a solid wall, the cunning San Antonio Spurs, the Trail Blazers with two guns, the disciplined Utah Jazz and the No. 1 Phoenix Suns in the league , Which one is a good stubble, which one is not a soft persimmon, the teams that can break through in such a cruel environment and enter the Western Conference Finals are definitely at the Gu King level.

The game has not yet started, and the arena of Talking Stick Resort Hotel is already full, with various colorful flags flying around, slogans and musical instruments playing together, cheers and provocations exist at the same time, and the management staff also played a passionate game in a timely manner. Music, the atmosphere of the entire Talking Stick Resort Hotel arena is extremely warm.

"Friends from the audience! Friends from the audience! I am Wang Meng from Tencent Sports, and beside me are teachers Yang Yi and Wang Shipeng. We are now in the arena of the Phoenix Stokes Resort Hotel in the United States. The 2017- In the 18th NBA Western Conference Finals, the Houston Rockets challenged the Phoenix Suns away. Teacher Yang Yi and Wang Shipeng and I came to the scene to explain the entire series of the Western Conference Finals. Teacher Yang Yi, Wang Shipeng and Tencent’s audience friends Let's say hello." Wang Meng yelled in front of the camera at the top of his voice.

"Tencent Sports audience friends, hello everyone, I am Yang Yi!" "I am Wang Shipeng."

Yang Yi, like Wang Shipeng, was shouting at the top of his voice. There was no way, the sound at the scene was too noisy.

"Friends in the audience, today the Houston Rockets are playing away in black jerseys, and the Phoenix Suns are playing at home in white jerseys. Both sides have complete players. In such a cruel division of the West, we can reach the Western Conference Finals All of them are super strong teams, and it can be expected how intense this round of the series will be.

The Houston Rockets have two cores of James Harden and Chris Paul, top 3D players like Trevor Ariza, the best sixth man like Eric Gordon, Gerald Green and Ryan Anderson. Marksman, with strong insiders like Capela and Nene, the configuration is very luxurious.

The Phoenix Suns have No.1 in the league like Zhang Xin, field commanders like Rajon Rondo, veterans like Pau Gasol and Tyson Chandler, and a group of players who are not only numerous but also High-quality shooters, the two sides can be regarded as rivals and good talents! "Wang Meng's commentary has always been passionate, and it is even more passionate when it comes to important games like the Western Conference Finals.

"Mr. Wang, Mr. Yang, let's sit down and make a prediction before the game. Who do you think has a better chance of winning?" Wang Meng asked.

"Comparing the strengths of the two teams, I am more optimistic about Phoenix. Phoenix not only has an absolute core like Zhang Xin, but also a field commander like Rajon Rondo. More importantly, the Suns have more people who can play. Although Earl Watson is a young coach, he dared to use people, which may be the reason for Zhang Xin's influence, but daring to use people is a very big advantage, and this advantage will become bigger and bigger in the second half of the game!" Yang Yi Said.

"I agree with Teacher Yang, but the reason why I am optimistic about the Suns is that the Suns have a player like Zhang Xin. Although the Rockets also have super cores like Harden and Paul, Zhang Xin is a better player and a better leader. I used to be a professional basketball player, and I know too well what a core player with absolute strength means. He means that the opponent must put more than half of his attention on him. To defend this kind of thing, as long as there is a position that must be flanked, the defense It is very likely that the whole line will collapse, and many opponents of the Sun are defeated because they have no way to restrain Zhang Xin!" Wang Shipeng said loudly.

"It seems that the two teachers are unanimously optimistic about the Suns, but these are the advantages on the bright side. The result of the game is affected by too many factors. It may be a big difference if the state is better or worse. Can go to the Western Conference Finals The Houston Rockets are definitely not weak. Compared with them, they beat the Golden State Warriors. How can a team that can beat the Golden State Warriors be a weak team! It's easy to say who wins and who loses. Alright, the match on the field is about to begin!" Wang Meng said.

Coach D'Antoni's starting lineup is: Chris Paul, James Harden, Trevor Ariza, Clint Capela and Luke Richard Mbah a Moute.

The starting lineup for the Suns is Zhang Xin, Rajon Rondo, Devin Booker, Pau Gasol and PJ Tucker.

Destiny is amazing. PJ Tucker was originally supposed to be on the Rockets team. In this life, he was cut off by Zhang Xin. Both sides have a small lineup, but it is not wise to use a small lineup at the beginning. Going beyond the process of testing, it is directly playing the wrong position. D'Antoni is not in a hurry. The Suns are not a team that can be easily defeated by a team.

As for the Suns, if it is not necessary, their big lineup is actually used more. Although Pau Gasol and Tyson Chandler are getting older, they do not suffer from the inside of most teams. If it is not facing some extreme small lineups, the Suns have an advantage in this lineup.

Gasol and Capela jumped the ball in the middle circle. Capela won by jumping because of his youth. Chris Paul dribbled the ball quickly across the half court. Unlike previous seasons, the Rockets this season not only did not speed up, And being able to slow down, thanks to the arrival of Chris Paul, the original single-core Rockets have a choice. They don't need to use fast offense and defense to break through the opponent's defense. They have James Harden and Chris Paul. Fighting heads-up against masters can be fast or slow.

Paul gave the ball to Harden as soon as halftime passed. Harden faced Devin Booker's defense at the top of the arc and waited for Capela's high pick-and-roll. Passing by, Capela slid down, Harden hit the ground and passed the ball to Capela, Capela took the ball and started straight away, wanting to dunk to give the Suns a blow!
