(There is only one update today, friends who like it can vote to support Pirates! Pirates are grateful!)
The competition for the first round of the Western Conference playoffs this year is extremely fierce.In the first round, the San Antonio Spurs and Phoenix Suns were entrusted to a tiebreaker.

The situation with the Hornets is somewhat similar. In the first round, the Lakers also fought seven games with the Phoenix Suns.Finally entered the tiebreaker.

Before the playoffs started, many so-called experts stood up and made predictions for the final results of the first round of the playoffs.

Many experts and fans have predicted that the Lakers and Hornets will be swept out by the Suns and Spurs.However, the Hornets and the Lakers were very competitive and tied the game 3-3.Judging from the situation of their previous games, they have a tendency to be a bad eight!

However, no matter what the final result looks like, for the young Hornets and the incomplete Lakers.They have won the respect of everyone in this year's playoffs, and their games will be recorded in the annals of history forever!

The tickets for the tiebreaker were all sold out just one day after they went on sale.One can imagine how popular this game is...

The Hornets' Game [-] against the Spurs is still more than an hour away, and it hasn't started yet.There are already crowds of people in front of the Spurs SBC Center.The explosive music made everyone on the scene enter a state of excitement.It is no exaggeration to describe tonight's sobriety as empty.Before it got dark, fans began to gather in front of the SBC Arena, and more and more gathered.In the end, the police had to be dispatched to maintain law and order in the neighborhood.

Most of the fans at the scene were wearing Spurs T-shirts, holding up various signs and writing various slogans to cheer for their favorite teams...

"We want to win, we want to defend!"

"GDP! let go!"

"Let's have a hearty victory!"

…………

Although this is the home court of the Spurs, there are also many spectators who come to the scene to support and cheer for the Hornets.Most of them are wearing Hornets' No. 33 and No. 3 jerseys...

"Let us witness the birth of the Black Eight Miracle!"

"Jack! let go! let go!"

"Jack! ILOVEYOUFOEEVER!"

…………

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the last game of the Hornets against the Spurs was held as scheduled.Both sides are fighting with their backs, and both sides have no way out.

Either advance!Or pack your stuff and go home!There is no other choice!

"Boom Bobo!...Boom Bobo!...Boom Bobo!...Boom Bobo!...Boom Bobo!...Boom Bobo!...Boom Bobo!... ...Boom boo boo!..." The sound of fans hitting the ball with cheering sticks was heard at the scene!

"Wewill! wewillrockyou!...wewill! wewillrockyou!...wewill! wewillrockyou!...wewill! wewillrockyou!..." The Spurs fans sang this song spontaneously after being beaten!

The sound was so loud that it could almost knock down the entire basketball stadium.Even the fans on the sidelines felt dizzy when they heard it.Not to mention the fans present at the game.At this moment, the advantage of the Spurs' home court was vividly and exquisitely reflected.

The old guard at the Hornets training camp, McDonald, turned on the radio before the game started, turned the volume to the maximum, and sat in the guard's room to listen to the game with peace of mind. (McDonald is a loyal fan of the Hornets. Every game is because he cannot leave his post, and there is no TV in the guard room. Therefore, this radio has become his way to understand the game. ) The entire Hornets training camp was quiet except for the sound of commentary coming from the doorman's room.

"The game is on! Tim Duncan wins with a jump ball!"

"Tony Parker drives to the hoop, layup! Goal! Score! What a beautiful drive!"

"Paul broke through and scored, and Butler had an open three-pointer!"

"Oops! The basketball in Butler's hand was knocked out by Ginobili! Block! Ginobili's beautiful block!"

"Ginobili sprints to the hoop, jumps high! Boom! Oh……………………………………………………… Ginobili one-handed The dunk score, the scene was full of exclamation!"

"Unbelievable! Unbelievable!! The Spurs didn't give the Hornets a chance at the beginning, and they took a 4-0 lead at the beginning! The Spurs completely controlled the game, and the Hornets were completely lost! Will this lead to early garbage time?

"Early into garbage time? You bastard commentator, what are you talking about? The game has just started? Not to mention that Jack has no offensive mode yet?

At this moment, Jack's unruly face appeared in Macdonald's mind involuntarily!

He shook his fist at the radio as if he, too, was standing in the stands at the City Stadium with his mates to demonstrate against the visiting team.Since he was the janitor of the training base, he hasn't been to the City Stadium to watch a game for some years.However, there is still nothing that can hinder his enthusiasm for basketball!

Jack's breakthrough layup caused Tim Duncan's foul, and Jack stood at the free throw line! The boos at the scene completely drowned Jack.

Jack is very familiar with these boos. Since Jack's debut, Jack has received more boos from Spurs fans.Who told Jack to offend their core player, Tim Duncan, the winner of three championship rings as soon as he made his debut?

The Hornets, who had no retreat at all, were caught off guard by the Spurs at the beginning of the game. After the first quarter, the Spurs took a 5-point lead.During the rotation time of the second quarter, the Spurs even took advantage of the fire.Taking advantage of the absence of the Hornets' main players, they stole 8 points.After that, the hands of all the Hornets players seemed to be frozen.All the points of the Hornets in the second quarter depended on Jack's use of hand-to-hand tactics to fight fouls and rely on free throws.In the second quarter, Jack's hit was also extremely bad! He made 8 of 2 shots and scored 12 points, including 6 opportunities to stand on the free throw line.However, the Hornets competed with the Spurs who could not have relied on Jack's free throw in the second quarter.

Therefore, after the Hornets ended the second quarter, the Hornets were in the tiebreaker, losing 23 points in less than halftime.

30 is better than 53!

This situation is very bad for the Hornets. A 23-point lead, and this lead is still in the hands of Popovich, who is experienced in the playoffs.

The Hornets are over for this game!
