During this game, there was a figure that attracted Zhou Si's attention - the shoe king Tucker.

Tucker played 28 minutes in this game, scoring 14 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block on 5 of 8 shots.

The data is not too explosive, but he actually had a very big impact on the trend of the entire game on both offense and defense.

The most intuitive thing to look at is his plus-minus value of +40.

What Zhou Si didn't know was that with tonight's performance, Tucker became the player with the highest personal plus-minus value in a single game in the Rockets' playoff history.

He is also the 12th player in NBA history after Zhou Si to have a plus-minus of at least +40 in a single game in the playoffs.

Zhou Si has a hunch that Tucker will have more exciting performances in the upcoming playoffs!

In addition to Tucker, Zhou Si was also deeply moved by the performance of Jazz rookie Mitchell.

Mitchell was in a sluggish state in this game. He only scored 2 points on 1 of 10 shots in the first half. In the game, he made 4 of 16 shots and scored a personal low of 10 points in the playoffs!

This rookie wall was really hit hard!

Even so, Zhou Si is still very optimistic about the future of the No. 13 overall shooting guard.

As long as he continues to hone himself, Mitchell has a bright future.

On the Internet, netizens are also talking about this record-breaking Western Conference semifinals.

"Breaking News: 65-win team finally good at basketball."

"Hahaha, yes, the Rockets finally remembered that they are number one in the Western Conference!"

"Actually, the difference between the two teams in this game was far greater than the final score."

"Jazz fans: We should have lost by more than 40 points. This is probably the normal score."

"Rockets fans: It's actually quite strange, or incredible. After the Rockets lost the last game, many people started saying that the Rockets were fake No. 1 in the Western Conference."

"Rockets fans: After all, being blind doesn't affect their popularity at all."

"Lakers fans: In order to become the true No. 2 seed, you have to sweep all the way before the Finals.

Like that guy!”

"Rockets fans: Sorry, I'm offended!

But not all teams have weeks.

And for me, this is already a championship-level rebound!

We scored a couple of three-pointers in the opening game, and then we went on the offensive, and this was probably the best playoff game we've played so far."

“Rockets fans: I heard that the Jazz’s home court is very devilish?

We made them as quiet as Toyota Center tonight."

"Spurs fans: Donovan Mitchell tweeted:

"Ah... ten points, you are seven points more than three points..."

"Bucks fans: Frank! I'm offended too!"

"Spurs fans: To be honest, Antetokounmpo may not be able to stabilize Mitchell in the future!

Also, Kobe's advice hurt Mitchell, he allowed Mitchell to keep breaking through instead of doing what he used to do in the Jazz, which caused the Jazz to suffer a defeat."

"Obviously, Rockets also studied "Details"!"

"Rockets fans: Can't you see this is a big flag?

If Mitchell gets beaten badly, he will come to Kobe for training in the offseason, and then Kobe can recruit him for the Lakers!"

"Lakers fans: Thanks! Kobe!"

…

As the big score in the Western Conference reached 2-1, the situation in the Western Conference became a bit confusing, which also gave the weak teams in the Eastern Conference some confidence.

After all, if the Western Conference can tie it 2-1 in the semifinals, so can the Eastern Conference!

The next day, the two Eastern Conference semifinals started one after another!

First of all, there is a third battle between the Nets and the Bucks!

This time, the game was moved to Milwaukee's Bradley Center Arena.

As an old arena in a small city, the Bradley Center Arena, which has been in use for nearly 30 years since 1988, has old facilities and many new technologies cannot be used.

It is said that the league has the idea of ​​​​moving the Bucks to Seattle or Las Vegas. After all, the Bucks can make more money for the league by going to big cities!

Let’s ignore the relocation crisis of the Bucks for now. When Zhou Si came out for warm-up training in the evening, he received treatment close to home court and received countless cheers!

A bit like New York, Milwaukee fans are not very loyal to the team. In the past, they often cheered for their opponents.

With the rise of Antetokounmpo, Jabari Parker and Towns in the past two years, things have been a little better? However, their love and enthusiasm for the pursuit of superstars has not diminished at all.

At halftime of the Bucks, looking at the audience cheering for Zhou Si? Antetokounmpo tightened his fists!

"Tonight, I must give you a good look!"

Not long ago? Antetokounmpo said in an interview in the locker room,

"I'm ready to play.

After G2, I really wanted to get back on the court as soon as possible.

I have to be more aggressive and dare to take shots. At the same time, I have to revitalize the whole team."

This beast from Greece likes to read his comments on the Internet after the game? Then take screenshots to motivate himself!

But he gave up this approach after the last game.

It’s not that he has lost all confidence? It’s that there are so many comments that are criticizing him that I can’t even take a screenshot...

But one of the comments impressed Antetokounmpo the most? It also made him angry the most.

"Thunder fans: Even when KD feels the worst, he can still score 9 points on Zhou Zhou. Giannis is still far behind KD!"

'It doesn't matter if I can't compare to last week, why are you comparing me to those cats and dogs!'

Thinking about it, Antetokounmpo felt like he was a little over the top!

Tonight, Antetokounmpo's goal is to score more than ten points.

'Isn't this too much?'

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams were shown on the big screen.

Nets: McCollum, Iguodala, Kuzma, Zhou Si and Howard.

Bucks: Antetokounmpo, Brogdon, Middleton, Jabari Parker and Towns.

Many fans on the Internet have been talking about the Nets' practice of using one lineup for each game.

Is this specifically targeting the Bucks or using the Bucks to practice tactics?

The vast majority of fans believe it is the latter.

There is still no suspense in the jump ball. Howard easily defeated Towns and gave the Nets a chance to attack first!

Zhou Si held the ball across half court and faced Antetokounmpo at the top of the arc.

Antetokounmpo made Zhou Si feel a little different tonight, and his momentum was stronger than in the previous two games, which made Zhou Si want to find out.

After taking two steps forward, Zhou Si fended off Antetokounmpo's feint, then took another step to get out of the way, easily pulling the lever to avoid Towns' defense and turning forward!

2 to 0!

Zhou Si takes the lead for the Nets!

The Bradley Center was filled with cheers.

Zhou Si's attack was as smooth as clouds and flowing water, which was a pleasure to watch!

Two words: elegant!

The Bucks attacked and Antetokounmpo dribbled the ball across half court.

Looking at Iguodala guarding him, Antetokounmpo called for Towns to pick and roll.

After the pick-and-roll, Antetokounmpo violently pushed away Iguodala and Howard, and rushed into the Nets' penalty area like a beast!

“Clang——!”

A two-handed pull from Giannis Antetokounmpo to explode the buckle!

2 to 2!

The scene burst into cheers!

Antetokounmpo's brutal dunk like this can easily help boost the team's morale!

Elegant and brutal, the first two attacks have set the tone for tonight's game!
Chapter completed!
