Standing pretty old

Chapter 634
Why can the Rockets hold the Lakers?

Was it Yao Ming who blew up Gasol?

No, Dayao didn't kill his old enemy, and the statistics of the two were evenly matched.

So Artest and Battier teamed up to limit Kobe Bryant?
That's impossible, even if Kobe's field goal percentage has dropped to 45%, the lowest since the playoffs this season, in the past few games, it is still not enough to hurt the powerful Lakers.

So the question is, why can the fifth-ranked Rockets in the West bite the Lakers?
Looking through the data list, an unexpected name appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Averaged 18.0 points, 2.6 assists, 2.4 rebounds, guess whose data this is?
If you are not a Rockets fan, maybe someone will come up with the names of Artest, Scola, Landry and others, but I am sorry, they are all wrong, because the real answer is-Aaron Brooks.

That’s right, it’s none other than the real giant in the Rockets’ current system. Brooks, who is called the “little black bean” by Chinese fans, dominates the rhythm of the Rockets’ game against the Lakers. Moreover, he actually beat the “old fish” Fisher.

What?Do not believe?

How could Chairman Yu be blown away by a second-year rookie?

So look at Fisher's series stats: 5.3 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists per game.

If that's not getting blown up, what is?

Lao Yu roared angrily: "Asshole, I am innocent. I only averaged 24 minutes per game. Is it interesting to post my statistics? Labor and management are the leaders of the Lakers locker room, understand?"

Well, well, even if the old fish is right, let's take a look at the data of Jordan Farmar and Sasha Vujacic: 7.7 points per game and 4.1 points per game.

Adding up the average points per game of the three Lakers' backcourts, it is 17.1 points.

Well, looking at it this way, whoever dares to say that Brooks, who averages 18 points per game, is not a rocket giant, then he must be selectively blind!
Er Niu couldn't help but call Dayao after watching the series reports of the two teams: "Brother Yao, yes! Can you work harder and kill the Lakers!"

Dayao laughed and said, "What do you mean, the Eagles and the Rockets are going to meet in the Finals and stage a celestial derby?"

Er Niu said indifferently: "The Lakers went to the finals, and it was also the Celestial Derby. Don't forget, Sun Yue is also with the Lakers. However, I hope the Rockets can reach the finals."

Yao Ming asked back, "Why?"

Ruan Erniu said: "Because it's boring to play against the same opponent in the finals for two consecutive years!"

"roll!"

Dayao stopped talking nonsense and hung up the phone directly. Er Niu was no longer the young boy who wanted to enter the national team.

He is now the basketball hero of the entire Celestial Dynasty, and he even made jokes about Big Brother!

Jokes are jokes, the business that should be done still cannot be left behind.

The Atlanta Hawks still need to do their own things well before they are qualified to observe other people's market conditions.

Ruan Erniu was interviewed by the media before the second round of G4.

He said confidently: "We will not bring the game back to Atlanta, just in Orlando, we want to get the spot in the Eastern Conference Finals!"

It has reached the point of 3:0, and it is too hypocritical to say that you don't want to sweep the opponent!

But the Magic, which is fighting for dignity, will definitely not surrender in G4. Even if they are about to bid farewell to this season, they certainly don't want to withdraw from the stage of history in a gesture of being swept away.

Howard also firmly stated on behalf of the team before the game: "We will strive to continue the game to Atlanta, and then bring the game back to Orlando.

I'm sorry for Kraft Nguyen's remarks, we don't get enough respect, we will make the opponent pay the price in the game. "

These words were so murderous that it immediately made people feel that the G4 battle would definitely produce big news.

Atlanta’s local pro-Hawks media directly bombarded: “The league should do something, or simply let the game return to a normal state, and everyone knows what happened in G3.

If it weren't for the overall better Hawks, an unjust case would happen, which is a disgrace to the entire NBA.

The game should be handed over to the players, not the referees on the court, and the characters behind the scenes! "

G4 started as scheduled at the Amway Center Arena.

At the very beginning of the game, the Eagles encountered foul trouble. Jiong Jisen and Yue Eclipse each received two fouls, while Er Niu and Bibby also received one foul.

The ESPN commentators responsible for broadcasting the game were Jeff Van Gundy, Mark Jackson and Mike Breen.

Even though Star Van Gundy is Jeff Van Gundy's brother, Xiao Fan didn't mean to favor his brother: "The second quarter of G3 appeared in the first quarter of G4, so should we talk about other games now? Is there a match?"

Mike Brin said with a smile: "Jeff, don't you want Star to lead the team to victory? Losing tonight's game means that he and the Magic will be swept out by the Eagles!"

Jeff Van Gundy rolled his eyes and said, "But some people don't want the series to end so soon!"

Mark Jackson said: "Don't underestimate the Hawks. In G3, Atlanta's situation was also very unfavorable, but they survived in the end!"

Mike Brin laughed: "I found that the big P shares always cherish the big P shares. Charles Barkley is like this, and so are you, Mark."

Mark Jackson also laughed: "No! This only proves that we are all looking at the game in the most correct way."

……

While the commentator was still making jokes, the second quarter of the match between the two sides had quietly started.

The Eagles, who trailed by 6 points in the first quarter, showed momentum in the second quarter.

Birdman, Lunar Eclipse and Erniu successively sent big caps inside, and the Eagles' defensive counterattack was not completely cut off under the interference of the Magic's foul.

As Er Niu said, the Eagles came to G4 with the determination to end this series.

They did not relax. Although the referee's whistling was still unfavorable to them at the beginning, the Atlanta people who were mentally prepared quickly responded strongly on both offense and defense.

At the end of the second quarter, at 50:46, the Hawks had overtaken by 4 points.

Not only was the Atlanta man not overwhelmed by the foul, but he showed a powerful momentum in G4.

The Magic have nothing to complain about. They can't make shots themselves, but the Hawks can make shots. It's that simple!
After all, it is impossible for the referee to whistle the Eagles for fouls all the time. The further they go, the more they need to make up for it.

However, the Magic failed to open the score ahead, and fell behind their opponents at halftime. This game has lost its suspense.

Sure enough, in the third quarter, the Eagles showed a side that they couldn't afford to provoke as usual.

Ruan Erniu, Jon Jonson, Salmons, and Bibby fired together, and the three-pointers hit like a storm. If the Magic were a lonely boat in the sea, they would eventually sink.

38:25, the 13-point difference in a single quarter has made the Magic lose their last hope of winning.

The game entered garbage time ahead of schedule in the final quarter, and Ruan Erniu and Jon Jonsen led the team to another offensive climax in the first half of the final quarter, ending the game early.

At 113:94, the Hawks defeated the Orlando Magic in G19 by 4 points, thus sweeping their opponents with a total score of 4:0 and advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals.

As of the second round of G4, the Eagles' playoff record this season is 8 wins and 0 losses!
