659 owns the floor of the Western Conference Finals, Paul himself! After all, the god of point guards!
"Raptors fans: I "bless" James to stand barefoot on the acupressure board!"
"Raptors fans: I wish James would never have access to WiFi again!"
"Raptors fans: I "bless" him and his invitation to Wade to take a banana boat ride is always rejected!"
The team performed so well and clearly had a chance to win, but after James was eliminated because of his outburst, not all Raptors fans were relieved. They unanimously sent all kinds of blessings to James.
No matter how much the Raptors fans wish, it can't change the fact that their home team was eliminated.
But...it's really fun to do this!
Zhou Si got up the next morning and saw the results of the game without any surprises.
After all...he understands the power of "Details"!
After looking through the league's schedule, Zhou Si found that the Eastern Conference Finals between them and the Cavaliers would start six days later in order to match the Western Conference.
To be honest, this arrangement benefits the Cavaliers more than they do.
After all, James of the Cavaliers is the one who needs to regain his strength the most among the two teams.
After deducing the next game in his mind, Zhou Si felt that he still had to insure the team's victory, so he dialed the phone number of the famous Los Angeles star.
"Boss, are you free recently? I'll arrange the next issue of "Details"!"
"No, no, no, don't analyze me, analyze James. I want to see what other areas he can improve for me to pay attention to."
"What?
Analyze James after analyzing Lillard?
goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Si quickly sent a message to Lillard.
Pioneers, I can only help you so far...
Shortly after finishing breakfast in the morning, Zhou Si saw that the latest issue of "Details" was online, and the protagonist was indeed Lillard!
Zhou Si silently lit a candle in his heart for Lillard and the Trail Blazers.
In the afternoon, Zhou Si returned to New York with his teammates, and then enjoyed some quiet family time with Ye Qin and Xiao Jingjing.
When it comes to the playoffs, game after game, you have to pay attention not only to your opponents but also to potential opponents.
A two-round sweep is not something the Nets should take for granted.
For this result, not only Zhou Si, but the Nets coaching staff and many staff also paid a lot.
In the evening, it was still unclear whether the Trail Blazers could compete in the Oracle Arena. The Rockets defeated the Jazz first to advance to the Western Conference Finals.
Although this season's record ranks first in the Western Conference, Houstonians don't seem to like this Rockets team very much.
Before the game, Zhou Si discovered that many seats in the Toyota Center Arena were still empty.
ESPN’s Van Gundy complained directly:
"This is the Western Conference semifinals. I don't know if I've ever seen an arena this empty before."
After the game started, the two teams felt bad in the first quarter. Even though they led the Rockets to a 12-0 run in the middle of the quarter, the Rockets only led slightly 22-16 at the end of the first quarter.
In the second quarter, the Jazz slowly regained their touch, but Paul felt better on the outside, scoring consecutive three-pointers and assisting his teammates to score, helping the Rockets expand their lead to 56-46 at halftime.
In the first half of the game, Paul and Harden directly participated in the team's score of 48 points, which was 2 points higher than the Jazz team's score.
Paul had 16 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists, and Harden had 8 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.
Rocket Super Dual Verification Hammer!
Even so, Buckley still complained,
"I was a little disappointed with the Rockets' performance because they didn't play with a sense of urgency. They fell into the Jazz's rhythm and played an 8-0 wave to open the score.
What you are going to face next is the Golden State Warriors. You know the Warriors are going to win tonight and they will end the series as quickly as possible to get more rest time!
If you want to defeat the Warriors, the Rockets' current state is far from enough!"
After changing sides and fighting again, 'big brother' Mitchell suddenly became full of firepower and ushered in a big explosion and scored consecutively!
In the third quarter, the Jazz alone made 9 of 11 shots and scored 22 points, leading the Jazz to a 79-77 lead.
In this quarter? The Rockets only scored 21 points!
This guy? He really doesn’t look like a rookie at all!
Just when Jazz fans thought they would come back and win the game under the leadership of "Big Brother" and tie the score to 2-3? Bad news came!
Mitchell, more than three minutes into the fourth quarter of the game, accidentally injured his leg when Harden stole the ball.
Subsequently, Mitchell returned to the locker room for treatment accompanied by the staff.
At this moment, the Jazz had actually fallen.
Although the Jazz then stepped up and scored frequently for Mitchell, Wiggins and Ingram, the Rockets' Harden and Paul both stepped up and firmly held the lead.
At the last critical moment, Paul broke out again. He hit 2 consecutive mid-range shots and 2 three-pointers and scored 10 points, leading the Rockets to a 10-2 run to reopen the score.
At this moment, Paul’s expression was filled with determination!
Then the Jazz failed to launch another point-chasing offensive. In the end, the Rockets defeated the Jazz 114-102 at home, advancing to the Western Conference Finals with a total score of 4-1.
The strongest St. Paul? Finally touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals!
The most critical fourth quarter? Paul made 7 of 9 shots, including 4 of 4 three-pointers, and took over the game with 20 points. He scored 41 points, 7 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals, and 0 turnovers in the game, and made 8 of 10 three-pointers.
.
41 points, setting a new high for Paul in the playoffs!
The score of 20 points in a single quarter is also the highest score in a single quarter of Paul's career (including regular season and playoffs)!
Paul fights for his own Western Conference Finals floor!
There was also a touching scene on the court. At the end of the game, Mitchell returned to the court despite his injury to accompany his teammates to end the season, and paid tribute to the Rockets players after the game.
Zhou Si once again lamented: It would be unreasonable for Mitchell not to vent his anger!
After the game, praise for Paul took over all social networks!
"Lakers fans:
Chris Paul's statistics for this game: 41 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists.
If Paul needs to do something to break the curse of the Western Conference Finals, he will do it without hesitation!"
"And 8 out of 10 three-pointers!"
"There are still 0 mistakes."
"Well, don't forget that he only made one mistake in the last three games!"
"Rockets fans: I only made one mistake after playing 103 minutes..."
"Knicks fans: After all, the point guard god!"
"Warriors fans: About three weeks ago I saw someone saying Westbrook was better than Paul."
"Rockets fans: This is a popular opinion."
"I have been emphasizing this for the past two years, but you always say that I am wrong. Paul is not a do-it-all person. He will not force himself to get a triple-double. He just goes with the flow and gets what he deserves.
It’s just data.”
"Trail Blazers fans: Paul makes the players around him better, but Westbrook can't."
"Rockets fans: This is the postseason gun we need!"
Chapter completed!
