Chapter 353 Advance to the Western Conference Finals
"I have to say that luck seems to be on the side of the Warriors. Today, the Kings, which had a smooth start, encountered bad news at the beginning. Divac stepped on Rodman's foot while defending. Divac, just left the field in this way, the Kings team doctor and substitute players, supported the limping Divac, slowly left the court and entered the player channel."

"Rodman has an innocent face, with big eyes like copper bells, and a very helpless smile with his hands spread out. If eyes can kill, the angry eyes of the [-] Sacramento Kings fans at home would have killed Rodman long ago." It fell countless times."

"The referee did not call a foul, no free throws, Divac's injury did not exchange for any benefits, Adelman had no choice but to call a timeout, and replaced the backup center Scott Pollard, hoping that he can carry the sky of the Kings .”

"Obviously Pollard let Adelman down, he got two open passes from his teammate, he missed both open shots, and he didn't grab a single rebound for the entire 4 minutes. No assists, no points."

"You must know that this is a game of life and death, and there is no room for any mistakes. Warriors head coach Lenny was even more decisive. He replaced Paul Gasol and replaced McGrady. At the critical moment, the Warriors played a big game. 1 small lineup, Rodman plays center, when defending, he tops Webber, McGrady and Hill, and Battier and Billups help defend."

"The three-legged Kings team consists of Divac, who can pass and touch porcelain, and Webber, who has a gorgeous and violent style of play, plus sharpshooter Peja. The three of them are the cornerstone for the Kings to win the first place in the regular season. "

"Now Peja can't play, Divac is injured and retired, and Webber is alone. The Kings' home fans have to watch the score being gradually pulled back by the Warriors."

"Adelman had to call a timeout again. He replaced Pollard, who was so intolerable to him, and replaced him with Bobby Jackson. The Kings were also forced to play a fast lineup of 1 big and 4 small, with Webber playing center. Turkoglu, Mike Bibby, Doug Christie, Bobby Jackson, four guys on the perimeter."

"The Warriors started to show off their three-pointers in the fourth quarter. Bibby and Jackson of the Kings are only 1 meters tall. They can defend any Warriors player well enough. No matter which Warriors player is against the two of them, except for Rodman. It’s a three-point shot without hesitation.”

"A score difference of more than ten points is not a problem at all in the face of the three-point rain. The Warriors McGrady and Hill set off a three-point frenzy. Webb was sucked out of the outside line. After all, it depends on Christie alone. of two players."

"Turkoglu's style of play is soft, his speed is worrying, he has enough height but can't keep up with people, Mike Bibby and Bobby Jackson are not tall enough, whether it is McGrady, Hill, or Battier are all tall More than 2 meters, even Billups can beat the Kings' double point guards."

"When the Kings began to focus on the Warriors twin stars McGrady and Hill, Billups, who was silent and quiet, began to go crazy. He hit three three-pointers in a row, which stunned the Kings. The three-pointers are all missed, and there is no way to hit this shot."

"The last 3 minutes of the Kings' home court turned into garbage time, but this is the NBA playoffs, and it's the Kings' home court. In front of [-] fans, Adelman can't give up anyway, although this makes the game more difficult. "

"Warriors head coach Lenny called a timeout. He replaced Rodman and Hill. Now that the overall situation has been settled, there is no need for the players to stay on the court. If they are injured, it will be more harm than good."

"The Warriors stopped attacking at the last moment. Billups dribbled the ball past half court and held the ball without moving. The Kings players stopped fouling. The referee blew his whistle and the game was over."

The final score was 114:101. The Warriors came back to win the away game. From being behind by more than ten points to winning by more than ten points, the Warriors only took half a quarter to complete this shocking reversal. I have to say that there is also an element of luck. big factor.

Judging from the playback video, the scene where Rodman caused Divac to be injured did not move. He stood there without moving. question.

The Kings lost core players one after another, and the remaining players were somewhat out of balance. In addition, the Warriors took advantage of the opportunity to rain three-pointers. Such an important and crucial game ended in such a dramatic way.

With an incredible victory, the Warriors reversed the Kings and reached the finals of the NBA Western Conference. This completely shocked the entire NBA league and the news media. After all, what they eliminated was the No.1 in the entire league during the regular season. kings.

All fans and experts, except for the Warriors fans, are unanimously optimistic that the Kings and the Lakers will meet in the NBA Western Conference Finals. The Spurs are out this season, Admiral Robinson is old, Duncan is alone, and the Lakers are also 4:1. Beat the Spurs.

The NBA semifinals in the Eastern Conference are also surprisingly the same, two 4:1, the New Jersey Nets eliminated the Hornets 4:1, and the Boston Celtics also eliminated the Pistons 4:1.

In this way, this season's opponents in the Eastern Conference and Western Conference Finals will be produced at the same time. In the West, the California Civil War, the Los Angeles Lakers will face the Golden State Warriors, the two metropolitan areas of San Francisco and Los Angeles will collide, and in the East will be the New Jersey Nets against the Boston Celtics.

The traditional giants Zijin Lakers and Celtics Celtics ushered in the NBA upstart Golden State Warriors and New Jersey Nets, two new forces are rising, trying to build their own immortal dynasty.

Kings Mike Bibby and Webber scored 23 points each, and Turkoglu, who has always been considered soft, also scored 20 points and 13 rebounds. The entire Kings team has actually tried their best.

But the game is like this, even if you put in all your strength, the final result may not be what you want. The Warriors are obviously more lucky, and they have the last laugh.

The Warriors' San Francisco twins Grant Hill and McGrady are the key to victory. Hill made 25 of 13 shots, scored 32 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists, and also had 1 steal and 1 assist. He and McGrady's 26 He scored 6 rebounds and helped the Warriors have the last laugh.

It can be said that without the outstanding performance of Dennis Rodman of the Warriors, and without the injuries of Divac and Peja of the Kings, it is still unknown whether this series between the Warriors and the Kings can end so easily.
