Standing pretty old

Chapter 317
The situation in the upper half of the West was within everyone's expectations, but no one could predict the outcome of the game in the lower half of the West.

The second-ranked Hornets in the West encountered the third-ranked Spurs in the West. The two teams scored 6:3 in the first 3 games.

Looking back on the past 6 games, the two teams have actually implemented a policy, that is, to fight hard at home!
In G1, the Hornets played against the Spurs at home in New Orleans. The game was extremely difficult from the first quarter until the end of the first half. The scores of the two teams were extremely close.

After the start of the third quarter, David West of the Hornets made consecutive shots and opened up the score, finally establishing a lead for the team and winning the game.

82:101, the Hornets go first.

G2, still held in New Orleans, this game is almost a replica of G2. In the first half of the game, the two teams also played inextricably.

It wasn't until the start of the third quarter that Chris Paul and Peja Stojakovic dominated the game together. The two scored 13 and 12 points respectively, and established an 18-point lead in the third quarter. And finally led the team to win the game.

84:102, the Hornets made another victory, leading the Spurs 2:0.

Until this moment, all experts believe that this year will be the season of the rise of dark horses, Hornets and Hawks are examples.

In G3, the two teams moved to San Antonio. The development of history is always surprisingly similar. In the first half of the game, the two teams are still a picture of you and me, leading each other alternately, and the score is still not drawn.

But in the second half, someone immediately drew their swords, but this time, it was Tony Parker and Tim Duncan of the Spurs who stood up. The two teamed up and scored 20 points in a single quarter to help the Spurs establish a 7 In the last quarter, the score gap was widened again.

At 99:110, the Spurs pulled one back at home.

In G4, this time the deceitful Spurs played their cards uneasy. The two teams were still in a stalemate in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Spurs suddenly showed their strength. The GDP combination exploded at the same time. With an 11-point lead in a single quarter, it ended. The first half of the game.

The Hornets were stunned immediately, and as a result, they fell behind by 11 points in the third quarter. The fourth quarter had already entered garbage time. Say, it doesn't make sense.

80:100, the Spurs evened the big score.

Experts from all walks of life were completely dumbfounded. They are now more cautious, and they no longer dare to make casual predictions.

In G5, the two teams returned to New Orleans again, but the Hornets remained steadfast.

In the first two quarters, the two teams were still tied. In the third quarter, the Hornets set off another offensive climax. CP3 single quarter 12+3+2, David West also contributed 8+6+2, and the single quarter beat the opponent by 17 In the fourth quarter, the Hornets, who dispatched all their main players, did not give their opponents any chance and successfully won the game.

79:101, the Hornets beat the Spurs at home and won Tianwangshan.

In G6, the Spurs had no way out. They had to win their home court when they returned to San Antonio. The progress of the game was completely different from that of the previous 5 games. GDP was fully fired in the first quarter, completely suppressing the Hornets, and won a single quarter. A 12-point lead.

In the subsequent game, although the Hornets once narrowed the point difference to less than 7 points, the more experienced Spurs still firmly held their lead in the second half and finally defeated their opponents.

At 80:99, the Spurs won the life-and-death battle, and the total score came to 3:3.

The G7 battle will be held on May 5, that is to say, they will have 19 days to fully rest to deal with this life and death battle.

In the end is the seasoned Spurs into the conference finals again, or the young Paul touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals for the first time in his career?

Judging from the record of this round, the Hornets, who still have home court advantage, are more favorable.But in the face of a promotion game that determines the outcome, no one can say which side will be the final winner.

After talking about the west, let's take a look at the east. Needless to say in the second half, the winner belongs to the young and invincible Atlanta Hawks. They locked a place in the Eastern Conference finals with 4:2.

The Boston Celtics in the first half got entangled with the Orlando Magic again. Interestingly, in the first round, they also advanced with a score of 4:3.

Interestingly, there are striking similarities between the games played in the top half of the East and the bottom half of the West.

Also by the end of G6, the score was 3:3. They also won the home game steadily and lost all away games. Except for the lower score, the two teams basically copied the scene of the Western Hornets VS Spurs played a little earlier:
G1, 72:76, the Celtics took the lead.

G2, 78:89, the Celtics extended their lead.

According to the usual practice, the mass of media people who are like grass on the wall once again stood up and praised the power of Lvkai BIG3 infinitely.

However, immediately afterwards, the face-slapping incident reappeared again:
G3, 84:110, the Magic won their first home game.

G4, 77:90, the Magic continued to defend their home court.

Now the problem is complicated. The two teams played 2:2 again, and the media who were slapped shut their mouths. Now their unified rhetoric is: the strength of the two teams is very close, and the Magic is underestimated!
In G5, the two teams returned to Boston. This time, the Celtics did not lose their Tianwangshan. At 90:96, the Kateites took the lead in getting the match point.

In G6, the Magic also did not give up hope. After a suffocating defensive battle at 69:74, Orlando had the last laugh. They won their home court and tied the score at 3:3.

The two teams will have a tie-breaker in Boston on May 5. No one can guarantee who can advance to the Eastern Conference finals.

Compared with the tiebreaker in the West, the Eagles are naturally more concerned about this focus battle in the East.

The players also discussed their opponents in the next round.

Mike Bibby said: "I didn't expect the Celtics to play two tie-breaks in a row. I thought they would sweep and advance."

Ruan Erniu nodded and said: "That's right, the first round of the tiebreaker was obviously because the Celtics were relatively slow and did not enter the state. The second round of the tiebreaker is a manifestation of the strength of the Magic. Orlando is stronger than we imagined." Strong, and if they end up in the Eastern Conference finals, we can't take it lightly."

Lunar Eclipse said: "If we meet Orlando, we should have an advantage? After all, our regular season record is 3:1 ahead of our opponents."

Jon Jonsen objected: "Not necessarily, the regular season and the playoffs are two different things."

Ruan Erniu also said affirmatively: "Yes, we will know if we think about it, are we still the same team as the Eagles in the regular season?

Think about it, if the Magic get the Celtics, will they still be the Magic in the regular season?Joe is right, we have to play 12 points, the playoffs are the battlefield to win or go home! "

They have all reached the Eastern Conference finals, and if they say they have no idea about the championship, this is not pretending, but hypocrisy.

All the generals of the Eagles are full-blooded men, and naturally they will not show weakness. In their words: "No matter who advances in the end? We will win the Eastern Conference championship!"

　Book friends have been discussing how to pass the Celtics level. What if the Magic eliminated Green Kai?Hey hey, have you thought about it?
