Chapter 315 The Eastern Conference Begins

The Warriors also neatly defeated the Grizzlies in Game [-] and entered the Western Conference Finals first.

This is the first time the Warriors have reached the Western Conference Finals since 1976.

This night, Warriors star Curry is undoubtedly the most dazzling star on the court. He not only scored 32 points, 10 assists and 6 rebounds, but also hit a long-range three-pointer from the backcourt at the end of the third quarter .When talking about that ball, Curry revealed that in fact, when he was training, he often practiced long-range three-pointers, "I practice every day, really, I'm not lying."

Teammate Barnes believes, "Steph played his own style of basketball, which is why he can become the MVP."

It is worth mentioning that just as soon as today's game ended, Lakers star Kobe Bryant also tweeted, praising Curry's performance, "Genuine." Fei Xia wrote.

Compared with the Warriors, as the loser, the Grizzlies' soldiers are very disappointed.Marc Gasol said, "We have tried our best... Curry's three-pointer should not be used as an excuse to lose. It was a great shot, but the Warriors will not score 20 points because of that ball. It's just a three-pointer."

What needs to be reminded is that Gasol's current contract will expire this summer. Whether he will stay in Memphis in the future seems to be full of doubts.But as an inside partner for many years, Randolph obviously hopes that Gasol will stay, "I told Gasol that I love him, and Gasol knows where I want him to go, and he should go to a ball that makes him happy. Team."

Subsequently, the drama between the Rockets and the Clippers also announced the end.

Relying on Harden's quasi-triple-double performance, the Rockets quickly expanded the point difference in the final stage of the third quarter, and finally defeated the Clippers 113-100 to advance to the Western Conference Finals.After falling behind 1-3 and winning 3 games in a row to achieve a major reversal, the Rockets became the ninth team in NBA history to achieve a reversal when falling behind 1-3.

At the same time, this is also the Rockets' return to the Western Conference Finals for the first time in 1997 years since 18. They will face the Warriors in the Western Conference peak.

For this game, everyone has nothing to say.

Paul is a tragic man, and even the media couldn't bear to continue hurting him.

Of course, on the Internet, he became the target of ridicule again. In the world of competitive sports, winners and losers have always been the winners and losers. The Clippers had a good opportunity, but they didn't grasp it.

The Cavaliers settled the Eastern Conference semifinals early, but according to the league arrangement, their game is still behind the first game of the Western Conference Finals.

On May 5, the Western Conference finals will be held at the Oakland Arena.

The core state of both sides is good. Harden scored a quasi-triple double, but it was Curry who mastered the game.

The Warriors also narrowly beat their opponents by 4 points. What worries Rockets fans is that Howard was injured and retired during the game.

After the game, Howard's injury became the focus of attention from the outside world, but according to Warcraft himself, his injury was not serious, "Thank God, it's not serious, although the knee contusion limited my performance in this game, but I don't think that's going to stop me from playing the rest of the series."

Harden said, "We don't care about the games that have passed. What we have to do now is to prepare for the second game...Today, the Warriors have been playing a small lineup for a long time, so this is also important. Pushed me to play more aggressively and keep attacking the rim."

As for the Warriors, the Splash Brothers believed after the game that the team did a good job of restricting Harden. Curry said, "The more difficult shots he takes, the better it is for us. I am proud of the way the game was played, especially in the second quarter, everyone played the aggressiveness they deserved."

Thompson believes that although he faced Harden today and let his opponent score a quasi-triple double, but when talking about the overall feeling of defending the bearded man, he said, "I feel pretty good."

The day after the end of the Western Conference Finals, the peak matchup between the Cavaliers and the Eagles in the Eastern Conference started at the Phillips Arena, home of the Eagles.

The Hawks got off to a good start, mostly because of Jeff Teague.

And Carol, who had to appear before, couldn't play at all after meeting James.

This is the impact of player alignment, James is much better than the aging Pierce.

Korver is also completely restricted by Zhang Xiaotian in this regard. He is very good at dealing with shooters. Although Korver is more difficult to deal with than those slow-moving big shooters, it is no problem for Zhang Xiaotian now.

Zhang Xiaotian's performance on the Cavaliers' side is stable, but Irving's feeling is still not good. They swept the Bulls, but Irving was a little embarrassed when he faced Rose. Now Irving is not only in good shape, but also physically.

Seeing that the score was behind, James immediately began to show off.

In fact, the Eagles' single-handed defense and assisted defense are not bad, but James launched Weilai to everyone to find that the Eagles' defense is still a little worse than the top.

They almost couldn't handle Pierce in the Eastern Conference semifinals, how can they restrict James now.

With consecutive sweeps ahead, Cavaliers head coach David Blatt also gained confidence. Irving was replaced when he was not in good condition. The team asked JR Smith and Shumpert to play more.

Dellavedova has also entered the rotation. While the team has caught up with the score, it has not continued to play the main force, which is beyond many people's expectations.

The Cavaliers played more and more easily in the playoffs.

At the end of the half, the two sides tied at 51:51, but the Cavaliers have figured out the reality of the Eagles.

The Eagles scored a few points, Zhang Xiaotian and James could limit two. After Shumpert came up, the Eagles' outside lines were basically restricted, and the inside line was a little troublesome.

But it's not easy for the Eagles to play Mozgov inside. If the Cavaliers play a major and a junior, the Eagles will have problems defending double inside, and James can actually significantly outperform Millsap.

Compared with the Bulls, the Cavaliers' defense is actually easier. The Eagles mainly play teams, and there are no singles masters like Rose and Jimmy Butler.

Of course, the team's offense is more difficult to defend, but the Eagles' team offense has not yet reached the top state.

Like the previous Spurs, the Warriors this season are all models of team offense, but they all have powerful stars to upgrade the team's offense.

If there are no strong stars, if one or two points in the team are strangled, there will be flaws in the team's offense.

It just so happened that both Zhang Xiaotian and James on the Cavaliers had this ability, so after the Cavaliers adjusted their defense, the Eagles' offense suddenly became normal.

Without a strong All-Star breakout, the Cavaliers gradually took the initiative in the game.

In the third quarter, the Cavaliers targeted to increase their defensive strength, which caused the Eagles to fall into a scoring drought.

According to past experience, it is not easy to play the game led by the Cavaliers in the third quarter.
