The best teammates in the NBA

On May 2017, 5, America's sports media were waiting to see if the league would issue a suspension.

More than a day has passed since the Western Conference semifinals between the Spurs and the Warriors. Popovich's furious speech won the sympathy of many people.

The heat of this game has even overshadowed the Rockets and Clippers' G1.

The fans of America saw the Clippers win easily, oh, then turned around and started "If" whether the Spurs could overthrow the four-star Warriors.

Many sports media have already expected that the league will not impose penalties, and stepping was not uncommon in the past. Anyway, stars have to land, and if they can't beat you, they will step you down!

The Spurs have also had such a bonus, this time it is the Warriors' turn to take a bite
There has been no notification of punishment for a long time, and indeed the league finally just issued an announcement without any pain:
"The league is committed to protecting all players, and starting next season, there will be new provisions."

There is indeed no exclusive clause for stepping before this. The NBA has made it clear that it will punish malicious stepping, but this time, the Warriors, according to the existing rules, will not impose additional suspension penalties.

Before the start of G2 between the two sides, the league made such a decision and blew up the Spurs again. Popovich was incompetent and furious. Apart from continuing to spray scum-Pachulia, he could not change any facts.

The footsteps finally came to an end, the Warriors made a profit, and America's critics stopped pretending, and no one was optimistic about the Spurs anymore.

This kind of controversial incident is naturally indispensable to Stephen-A-Smith. The announcement of the league in the morning has just been released. In the ESPN program in the afternoon, this big mouth slammed the Warriors:

"Slag Pachulia ruined a wonderful series. G1 has proved that the Spurs can compete with the Warriors!"

"Showing team dominance should not be done in this way. Look at Kayce's Clippers, 73 wins, 16 wins and 0 losses in the playoffs, 68 wins last season, and the Warriors who eliminated the 73-win Warriors in the Western Conference Finals."

"If you want to become a GOAT, you must speak with your strength. Even if the Warriors lose G1, there are still six games to come. They can adjust calmly."

"Even if the Warriors win the championship this year, I will not forget their incompetent performance in the playoffs. This does not meet people's expectations for the championship."

Max Kellerman did not contradict his partner this time, and added two sentences:
"If not expected, the Warriors will sweep the Spurs and reach the Western Conference Finals, but I am not optimistic about them. This has nothing to do with the stepping incident. Kayce is stronger and the Clippers have a deeper bench."

"I don't like these off-the-box moves. The Warriors can't earn my respect."

Molly Kerim, as the host, felt that the two chatted more and more, so she hurriedly reminded:

"Don't forget that there is still a Cavaliers game tonight. Does the Raptors have a chance to win an away game?"

Hearing the question, Stephen-A-Smith restrained his emotions, and then whispered:

"Unfortunately, the Raptors will not win, LeBron James will reach the finals, but this year's championship still belongs to the Western Conference team."

"I don't want to see this result, but basketball doesn't lie, the Western Conference is stronger."

"."

Most fans this year are only interested in the Western Conference finals. As for the finals, everyone doesn't care.

Except for the local fans in Cleveland who still firmly believe that LeBron James can lead the team to break the curse, most fans feel that the championship is no longer in suspense.

Everyone is not a fool, no matter how brainless fans and sports media know that the Clippers and Warriors are capable of crushing the teams in the Eastern Conference.

LeBron James' heat is down, not even with another Eastern Conference semifinal.

At 119:130, the Celtics won the battle again, and the series came to 2:0.

Griffin's performance is quite satisfactory. Under the Stevens head coach's system, the ball is not concentrated, and almost everyone is in a state of courage.

The superficial brother felt aggrieved, and it was rare to reach the Eastern Conference semifinals, but no one cared about his performance.

Only the local fans are still imagining that the team can reach the finals, and the people who eat melons have long forgotten him.

Without the platform of the Clippers and Li Ze's traffic, Griffin's superstar dream was completely shattered.

It was rare to meet a TNT reporter for an interview, but when he heard the question, Griffin became even more unhappy:

"Blake, do you think Chris has a chance of beating Kayce?"

"."

If it wasn't for the fact that there were too many people in the training hall, Griffin wanted to slap his ass and leave. This is the Celtics' training hall!

In the semifinal stage, it is basically a game every other day, leaving little time for the team to adjust, and for the Clippers, there is no need to adjust at all.

Coach De Nagro only felt that it was useless to make a lot of plans before the game.

He overestimated the level of James Harden. He thought that the star player would improve his stats in the playoffs, but in this round of the series, the stats did not rise but fell, and they dropped a little bit more.
In the training session on the afternoon of May 5, the Clippers even canceled the tactical drill and changed it to stretching activities.

The head coach Denagro wandered around the world throughout the whole process, and the assistant coach was responsible for leading everyone's activities.

Winning is good, but in this year's playoffs, the statistics of many players have shrunk. Tucker's playing time has been reduced by more than half, and the same is true for Ingles.

Some people suffer, and some people profit naturally, and Jokic's data has risen again.

常规赛期间场均16.6分9.8篮板5.9助攻，投篮命中率为57.8%，三分球命中率也有35.6%。

In the playoffs, the data has shrunk slightly, but it is still very easy to contribute 10 points and 8 rebounds in a game.

After staying in America for almost three years, Fatty Bai's spoken English finally improved, and there were not many problems in daily communication.

Championship teams will always dig out the inspirational stories of some role players, and the Clippers are no exception.

Fans who follow the Clippers are well aware of Reggie Bullock's hair allusion, and Fox Sports also reported that Bullock spoke out for minority groups.

I thought that Jokic also had a story, how much effort would it take for a second-round pick to produce such stats!
It's just that with the continuous interviews this season, Fox Sports has given up on the fat man in front of him.

"The playoffs are no different than the regular season. I just need to rebound well, put Kayce's pass in the basket, and I can have a double-double."

"I love basketball, but I miss my horse farm in Serbia even more. I miss my pony all the time!"

"Horse racing is my favorite. Championship? I've won it twice. I don't care about MVP. Of course, I hope to get a good contract."

Fox Sports naturally reported Jokic's remarks in Versailles. In addition to annoying other players in the league, the fans even felt that this statement was very reasonable.
The fat man without a story was finally thrown aside by the media. After the Clippers' daily training, everyone flocked to Li Ze:

"Kayce, what do you think of the league's punishment? How would you evaluate a player like Slag Pachulia?"

Li Ze, who is wearing a gray training suit, is more like an assistant coach. He has long known that there must be such problems:

"The introduction of the new clause is indeed a good measure, and the protection of the health of the players must be taken seriously!"

"I don't want to comment on Pachulia. Some so-called defensive fighters are like this. They can't predict the offense and only use some small moves to help the defense."

"It looks fierce on the outside, but it's really soft ass. Have they really restrained a superstar? Believe me, Kawhi will come back. I know his strength. Some clowns can't beat him."

Li Ze's answer made the Fox Sports reporters on the scene laugh from ear to ear.

Everyone likes such real comments, which are much more interesting than LeBron James' big clichés!
The NBA circle is like this, Li Ze's words are spread out with embellishments.

The TNT reporter who was involved in the matter wanted to interview Green and Pachulia of the Warriors. Obviously, everyone thought that these two were the clowns that Li Ze was talking about.
However, the Warriors, who were on the cusp of the crisis, had been prepared for a long time and did not give the media reporters a chance at all. Steve Kerr stepped forward and stopped all interviews.

Most fans only watched one section of the game that night, and then switched channels.

At 16:33, the Warriors led by 17 points in the first quarter, and the game was over.

最终这场西部半决赛G2比分定格在100:136，主场作战的勇士队狂胜对手，系列赛大比分来到2:0。

The broken Spurs rotated 12 people, and the game seemed to be going through the motions, with no confrontation at all.

出场31分钟的库里，13中8，三分线外9中6，罚球7中7，拿到29分7篮板7助攻3抢断2失误的数据。

The Warriors shot 37 of 18 from the perimeter, and even shot an exaggerated 48.6% of their three-pointers.
After the two games, the critics all know that there is no suspense in this round of the series, and the gap between the two sides is really too big.

On May 5th, the G4 between the Rockets and the Clippers officially started!
In the past two days, Chris Paul called on his teammates not to pay attention to social media and devote all their energy to the game.

Coach D'Antoni did find the problem, but he is not God. There is nothing he can do about the gap in size and the gap in the bench lineup.

"James, you have to believe in your offense. Whether it's a three-pointer or a mid-range shot, the first thing we have to do in this game is to send the ball to the basket."

"Don't force a shot from beyond the three-point line. I don't want to see frequent counterattacks like G1."

Coach D'Antoni and the coaching staff are giving Harden a psychological massage.

When the critical moment comes, role players cannot be expected to suddenly explode. The star player with the highest salary on the team has to stand up at this time!
The bearded player has great privileges in the Rockets. This is the first time that coach D'Antoni has spoken to him in such a serious tone since he came to the Rockets.

Although he was a little upset, Harden finally nodded in response:
"I'm ready, I will help the team to keep scoring!"

The big loss also made Paul no longer polite, and the desire to win made Chairman Pao become chattering again. He spent more than a day nagging the role players of the Rockets every day:

"Capela, you have to cover every round, Jokic receives the ball high, remember to give confrontation."

"Ryan, work harder on the defensive end and increase some control of long rebounds. We need to switch offenses and can't continue to lose rebounds!"

"."

Talking too much will naturally make people impatient. Just like Jordan doesn't like Paul's nagging, Capela is also tired of hearing it.

For the role players in the brother basketball era, the core players are responsible for losing!
paul don't nag harden, there's a fart for nagging them
Taking money to do things, not playing with the highest salary, expecting them to explode and win the game?

"Got it, got it! Schett! But I think I have to rely on offense to win. I can't defend Kayce at all. Their lineup is too big."

A little impatient, Beverly immediately responded with a few words, spread his hands while talking, and pointed to Harden on the other side by the way, indicating that Paul was the problem.

Paul's face is a bit ugly, if he can solve Harden's stretching problem, he will not compete with role players.
This is different from the situation of the Clippers back then. Even if it was a headwind, Li Ze gave me the ball easily, and all problems were solved.

Even if Harden said this, Paul was still worried about giving him the ball. After much deliberation, he couldn't think of a good solution. In the end, he could only make up his mind:
"It's up to me to figure it out myself."

"."

On the evening of the 2nd, the Staples Arena was still full of seats. Although Li Ze didn't play much time in each game this season, many fans would still show up to support him.

For neutral fans, everyone wants to see a wonderful Western Conference semifinals, and Clippers fans who buy tickets like to abuse the game.

Once the game points are widened, everyone eats and drinks on the spot, eats hamburgers, drinks beer, cracks popcorn, and dazes along with the music.

If the Clippers can play some wonderful cooperation and beautiful dunks, the fans will be happier.

In the G2 game, the source of happiness for the Clippers fans is Harden who is hardworking.

Watching the bearded golfer boasting a dribble at the top of the arc, he stepped sideways for a three-pointer and hit an iron, and there was another loud cheer in the Staples Arena.

Coach D'Antoni hated the bearded player's offensive choices so much at this time.

Although he hoped that the team could throw three-pointers wildly during the regular season, when it comes to critical moments, scoring is the most important thing.

"Back back! Come back quickly! Pay attention to the defenders and make a good matchup!"

Coach D'Antoni hurriedly signaled the players to retreat. They gave up offensive rebounds tonight because they were afraid that the Clippers would frequently play transition offenses.

After the long rebound popped out, it crashed directly to Jaylen Brown. After getting the ball, the cute newbie buried his head and rushed, accelerating along the right sideline.

Paul on the side always wanted to cause Jaylen Brown's mistakes, gave a physical confrontation, and then cut the ball.

After a season of experience, Jaylen Brown has also grown. With his height advantage, he stopped immediately after crossing the center line, and then accelerated again.

Before approaching the right flank and turning around quickly, Jaylen Brown stopped dribbling too much and immediately gave the ball to Li Ze.

Receiving the ball at the Logo position, Jokic, who just ran to the frontcourt, made a high pick-and-roll.

Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, pushed the ball sharply and changed direction, and then turned around sharply when he caught the ball with his left hand.

The bearded player who was still trying to squeeze through the screen readjusted his defensive focus, but was delayed by Jokic and lost his defensive position again.

After being instructed by the coaching staff, Capela has been insisting on a big delay in the game, and hastened to slide to the left. During the march, Li Ze quickly in and out with his right hand, swayed left and right and accelerated again.

Just a little dazed, Capela, who stopped sliding, was too late to defend Li Ze, and saw Li Ze squeeze past him.

There was no one inside, and Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, accelerated with all his strength. He rushed up in three big steps, and took advantage of the opportunity to make a reverse dunk!
After landing, Li Ze opened his hands and quickly ran back to his own half along the sideline. The Clippers fans shouted happily and dunked pleasingly. Scoring is as easy as drinking water!
"Immature defense. Compared with Kayce, the Rockets players, except for Paul, have far less experience in the playoffs."

Jeff Van Gundy was a little outraged. In his opinion, the Rockets should not have played so poorly.

Mark Jackson saw Harden and Capela both on their hips, and was speechless for a while. Defense won the championship, but the Rockets did not defend this year:
"As the leader of the team, Harden can't attack so casually. He can break through to the inside instead of making strong shots from outside the three-point line."

"Kayce's ability is too strong. I don't know if it's my illusion. I think his speed is faster this year!"

Paul also felt that Li Ze had evolved again. His advancing speed was frighteningly fast, and his acceleration after an emergency stop was simply inhuman. Once he swayed and accelerated again, the defender would be gone. How can he defend against this?
There are fewer and fewer bells and whistles. After in and out, he accelerates and then scores. The Rockets' bench has become numb to such scenes.

Both Capela and Harden have become Li Ze's toys, and the simple high pick-and-roll has become unstoppable.
The most stable scoring method for the Rockets is still the pick-and-roll between Paul and Capela.

The bearded player asked for the ball again. Paul didn't give it, but signaled the opponent to stay on the right flank.
Harden has a high probability of watching without the ball. Fortunately, Paul used the pick-and-roll to get rid of Jaylen Brown's pursuit this round, and finally hit a shot at the free throw line.

At 14:22, the point difference returned to 8 points.

"Shh!"

Clippers fans laughed and booed, +2 can't win the game.

The baseline ball was sent out quickly. The Rockets had just completed their defensive positioning, and Li Ze had advanced to the right flank.

Paul George in the right corner immediately started, Li Zeshun sent a pass, and then ran to the right corner without the ball.

Ariza noticed the Clippers' positioning and immediately realized it was another iso.
After receiving the ball, Paul George released the ball with his left hand, slightly lowered his body's center of gravity, quickly pushed the ball close to the three-point line and changed direction, and accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.

After completing a set of moves, he didn't completely sway the defense, but Paul George still threw it directly!

Ariza heard cheers from the scene, felt a little frustrated, and scored again.
G1的比赛保罗-乔治13中5，三分线外5中1，罚球7中5，拿到了16分，今年季后赛中第1次得分未能超过20。

After pulling his hips for a while, it seems that Ghost Pepper is going to become General Joe again tonight
Paul George, who felt like he was throwing all the chickens in, yelled excitedly after completing the offense!
In the following game, Harden's step-back three-pointer was difficult to hit at the end of the first quarter.

At 23:34, the first quarter ended and the Clippers led by 11 points.

Coach D'Antoni on the sidelines, apart from being relatively satisfied with Harden's performance in controlling mistakes, felt uncomfortable in other aspects.

7中2，三分线外4中1，胡子球手首节比赛拿到了5分1助攻。

Jeff Van Gundy seemed to recall when he was coaching the Rockets, looking at such a point difference, he said helplessly:
"After winning the championship, the Rockets always feel short of breath in the playoffs every year. Harden is not Kayce after all. When he has no ball in his hands, he performs too badly!"

Mark Jackson also felt that tonight's game was going to be one-sided again. Paul George was in excellent form and the Clippers played more easily:
"If the offense is barely acceptable, then the Rockets have huge problems on the defensive end. The rotation lacks size. Coach D'Antoni still has a lot of work to do during the offseason."

Beverley failed to play in the second quarter, and only Lou Williams and Nene entered the rotation tonight.

7-man rotation, coach D'Antoni did not give up the game, and let Harden and Paul lead the team separately at the beginning of the rotation.

In the second half of the second quarter, the Rockets, whose main lineup returned early, were a little bit overwhelmed.

Ariza hit the iron on the left flank outside the three-point line, the ball was caught by Harris, and he directly pushed the conversion attack.

Ryan Anderson was caught off guard, and Harris couldn't keep up with the rhythm after accelerating.

Coming to the right flank outside the three-point line, Harris broke through with the ball and cut 45 degrees to the basket!

Capela, who just ran back to the half court, hurriedly blocked the basket, the ball knocked out of the basket under interference, and Jokic, who saw the timing, grabbed the rebound.

Capela, who reacted quickly, made up for it again, and Fatty Bai was not in a hurry, and immediately threw the ball to Li Ze, who was in the logo position, and the Clippers returned to 24 seconds.

Seeing Li Ze in front of him holding the ball in his left hand and dribbling under his crotch, then dribbling behind his back, and then changing direction in front of his body, the ball kept flashing on both sides of his body, and Harden, who was defending Li Ze, was stunned again
Li Zemeng, who had switched to holding the ball in his left hand, lowered his center of gravity and suddenly accelerated. While striding forward with his right foot, he blasted the ball vigorously with his left hand, and then suddenly retreated. Harden, who was completely confused, simply stuck in place.

Li Ze from outside the three-point line easily combined the ball and quickly shot a jumper!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!

The Clippers fans at the scene were already in high spirits at this time, and many fans in the front row even shouted loudly:

"Which James will never beat Kayce!"

"Continue to step back and make three-pointers! Continue to show your lame skills! Come on! James!"

Harden was dumbfounded, he was just blacksmithing, why did he spray him
After completing the retreat, Li Ze and his teammates simply clapped hands to celebrate. The game was easier than expected by the coaching staff, and the bearded player did not explode.

The commentator Mike Brin noticed that after the Rockets defended the big delay, Li Ze assisted Jokic a few times and easily scored points, and he was a little powerless for a while:
"Only relying on the double-teaming of inside players cannot solve any problems. Jokic's ability to finish under the basket has always been good."

Jeff Van Gundy seemed to give up and began to summarize the game:

"Unless the Rockets can supplement the front line, they can't go very far in the playoffs with this defense."

"There shouldn't be too much suspense in the two semifinals of the Western Conference."

Mark Jackson also thought of another set of games between the Spurs and the Warriors, and he agreed with his old partner in his heart that they were all crushing games
Chris Paul is still helping the Rockets score points, but the Clippers calmly accept 2 points from the mid-range and resolutely do not give Paul the chance to assist his teammates to score.

48:65，李泽在第2节比赛仅打了3分56秒，快船队依然将分差拉大到了17分。

The bearded golfer gradually found his touch in the second half of the third quarter, but it was a pity that his state came too late.

D'Antoni watched his blood pressure rise, and you started punching when the team least needed you to score.
Still clocking in three quarters, Harden, who returned to the bench, was completely confused. He felt that he was performing well:

14中6，三分线外9中3，罚球4中4，19分2篮板3助攻1失误。

He has fulfilled the requirements of the coaching staff, strictly controlled the number of turnovers, and passed the ball carefully every round.

In the Staples Arena, the fans cheered loudly again when they saw the two sides change into the atmosphere group. Tonight is another big victory!
In the fourth quarter of the game, the atmosphere group came on the stage. The Rockets lost consecutive backcourt rebounds. Facing the small lineup, Kevon Rooney suddenly broke out and fought for several frontcourt rebounds.

Seeing that the point difference is getting bigger and bigger, everyone on the Rockets' bench is holding their faces. It is embarrassing to lose too much.

In the end, at 96:131, the Clippers defeated the Rockets again at home, and the series came to 2:0.

保罗-乔治今晚表现得十分高效，14中8，其中三分球6中3，罚球4中4，砍下23分5篮板4助攻1抢断2失误。

The ESPN reporter saw that Paul George was being interviewed tonight, and immediately laughed and joked:
"Paul! Are the Clippers already preparing for the next round?"

Paul George has recovered from his swollen state, and said modestly at this time:

"The Rockets are a very strong opponent. We will still go all out in the following games. Of course, it is better not to return to Los Angeles!"

"."

Both sets of series in the Western Conference eventually showed a crushing situation. In the Eastern Conference semifinals that night, the Wizards protected their home court.

At 109:116, after a difficult victory over the Celtics, the series came to a score of 1:2.

Consecutive big-score losses turned the Rockets' next game into a life-and-death battle.

On the morning of the 5th, when the Rockets returned to Houston, the bearded player wrote an open letter to the fans on the plane:
"Dear fans, G3 is a battle of life and death! It starts at 7 o'clock on Saturday night. We need everyone to come to the Toyota Center early to create a home atmosphere that we have never seen before!

"Me and my teammates really need this energy, and the opponents hate it! So let's do it together! Red Nation! We need to stick together!"

The official social media of the Rockets posted a letter signed by the bearded player in the afternoon. The fans saw the star's attitude towards G3, and they naturally responded one after another.

Even the celestial bees on the other side of the ocean also spoke up, and for a while Zepu turned into Hupu again:

"It's over! Wohuo has never been afraid of strong enemies, won two home games, and then won the Tianwangshan battle in one breath, the Rockets championship!"

"Brother Deng is a real man, and he didn't feel discouraged after losing by a big score. This is why we have always liked the Rockets!"

"Inheritance! This is Dayao's inheritance, Brother Deng, come on, keep the home game!"

"As long as we win the Clippers, the championship will be a shame. I hope Brother Deng will win the championship."

"Hehe, so many years have passed, Harden must have pulled his hips in key games, and never had any expectations. Besides, the Rockets won first! That's 74 wins!"

"Li Zehan didn't come out yet, and I put aside the fantasy one, let Paul + Harden explode together, and the Rockets will lose."

"Why can't Wohuo win the game? This year, there are 58 wins!"

"Upstairs is Jamie, so I can't see others winning. Brother Deng will definitely win the home game."

"Jamie's taking the blame again? Get out of here, wait for Harden to pull back, and the Rockets will be swept away!"

Unlike America, the Rockets have a huge fan base in Tianchao. Although everyone is old, seeing the team's good performance, they naturally follow suit.

G3 between the Clippers and the Rockets, the enthusiasm in America is mediocre, the two games lost by a big score, the strength gap between the two sides is too obvious, and the ball critics are not fools, it takes some logic to open their eyes and talk nonsense
The Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean pays special attention to this game. Even if they can't win the series, many Rockets fans are already very satisfied to see Harden break out and compete with Li Ze.

On May 5, the Cavaliers defeated the Raptors, and the Warriors defeated the Spurs. The two teams got match points one after another, and the series became 5:3.

Such a score did not arouse heated discussions among fans. After Kyle Lowry was injured, Raptors fans were already desperate.

At 115:94, the Cavaliers won easily. LeBron James played 42 minutes, 16 of 9 and 16 of 15 free throws.

35分8篮板7助攻1抢断5失误，天选之子的发挥依旧平平无奇。

As for the other Western Conference semifinals, the process was still the same as the critics imagined. The Warriors made a slight effort, and the Spurs knelt down.

120:108，杜兰特19中11，拿到了全场最高的33分。

In the away game, Pachulia did not enter the team's activation list, and McGee, who started the game, also performed well, scoring 9 points in 6 of 16.

Coupled with Curry's 21 points, Clay's 17 points, and Green's 10 points, the Warriors' starting five scored in double figures!
There is no suspense anymore, both the Cavaliers and Warriors will reach the conference finals, and G4 will most likely be just a formality.
On May 5th, Rockets fans followed the call of the bearded player and came to the Toyota Center Arena early on Saturday. The uniform team also prepared red cheering T-shirts. The atmosphere on the scene was extremely warm!

With a record of 58 wins this season, Beard's player style has improved a lot, and fans also think that the fourth place in the Western Conference is very good!
Even if they can't win the series, everyone will be very satisfied if they can see a victory at home.

Before the game, the fans were full of expectations, and the sports media present also hoped that the Rockets could fight back, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations, Harden sleepwalked.
At 68:42 in the half, the Clippers led by 26 points!
The Rockets fans were stunned from the beginning of the first quarter, and by the end of the second quarter, they were completely numb.

Many times, if it is not for the live DJ shouting, you will even feel that you have come to the Houston library
Jeff Van Gundy was almost blown away by Harden's performance. As an old guy in the commentary, it was the first time he saw the performance of the core players so stretched:

"Unbelievable! I can't describe Harden's performance in this game at all."

"What is he thinking? Is he afraid of shooting the iron? Facing Kayce, did Harden even lose the courage to shoot?"

半场2中1，两次出手都在三分线外，罚球4中2，胡子球手怒砍5分2篮板1助攻1失误
Mark Jackson also had difficulty understanding Harden's performance like this:

"Even if it's incompatible with Chris Paul, and the two take turns holding the ball, Harden shouldn't only take two shots in the half, showing no aggressive performance!"

The commentator Mike Breen didn't follow suit at that time, but the game was ugly, and he didn't have much passion:
"In the G2 game, Kayce only played 27 minutes, 14 of 10, and scored 32 points. Tonight's game may play even less!"

"This is definitely not good news for fans who bought front row tickets. I think everyone wants to see a close game."

In the second half, the performance of the bearded player continued. As the game progressed, Harden hit the iron, and the Rockets fans on the scene couldn't bear it any longer. They kept booing, and some fans even shouted loudly:
"RNM refund the money! Come to watch the game early, are you worthy of us! Refund the money!"

A large number of excited fans even caused the game to be suspended. Li Ze couldn't help but look weird when he heard the familiar Mandarin:
“It always feels like this kind of scene is familiar”

Coach D'Antoni also broke his defense. Not only is the bearded player pulling his hips, but Paul is also dead. The two have to pull together. Who can stand it!
Seeing that the home team had no hope of chasing points, the Rockets fans gradually turned against each other. They began to cheer for Li Ze's goal, stood on the free throw line, and shouted together:
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

Shrimp and pig's heart, the Rockets bench, the atmosphere group was completely confused, did they come to the fake Toyota Center tonight?

At 28:22 in the third quarter, although the Clippers have started to release water, the Rockets completely pulled.
Coach D'Antoni did not change the main lineup. If G3 loses, the season will be over. In this case, even if the score is behind, the fans must show their attitude.

It's a pity that the bearded player's state is really stretched, showing too much makes the fans even more angry. Watching Harden strike the iron, the boos are even louder.
At the end of the game, at 124:84, the Clippers successfully got the match point, and the big score of the series came to 3:0.

11中2，三分线外9中2，罚球6中4，10分3篮板4助攻6失误，生死战，胡子球手没让人失望！

At the end of the game, Li Ze didn't see Harden's figure. Paul turned his head and left after shaking hands. The Rockets players broke their defenses.

On the other side of the ocean, the Rockets fans were ridiculed before the game was over, and Hupu became Zepu again:
"Harden fans came out to be beaten, and called on fans to come to the home court to watch his straddle performance. This is the first time I have seen such an operation!"

"If you can't do it, this is Harden's tolerance!"

"Laughing, I want to keep this open letter forever, lest the secretaries forget about it in the future!"

"Li Zeniu X, the Clippers champion, this offseason has become the real No. 1 in history!"

"Low-key, we don't loan the championship, anyway, we will blow up the traitor Durant in the next round!"

"I will never watch Harden's games again. The fans are so supportive. Is this the result?"

"."

This game caused Harden's reputation to plummet in America. It is rare for the critics to have the same opinion. After the game, they slammed Harden's performance.

By the next morning, Amelia's sports media continued to spray
The official social media of the Rockets has deleted the open letter, which is really embarrassing.

On the evening of the 7th, the Cavaliers and Warriors defeated their opponents one after another and successfully reached the conference finals.

The Wizards tenaciously equalized the big score, and the two sides will have a battle of Tianwangshan.

No one was surprised by such a result, and everyone only hoped that the conference finals would be more exciting.

After the Rockets lost Game 3, on the night of the 8th, the front row of seats in the Toyota Center Arena was mostly empty.
The attendance rate dropped sharply, and there were only sparse boos throughout the game.

Players on both sides couldn't get up, and in the end, at 117:104, the Clippers swept the Rockets 4:0 and reached the Western Conference Finals again!

Seeing that most of the fans had already left, Li Ze felt a little helpless. He really didn't like playing in such an atmosphere.

In ESPN's commentary booth, Jeff Van Gundy was fully fired. Harden recovered tonight. When the team least needed to score, the bearded player stood up again.
The Rockets players were no longer in the mood to greet each other. After shaking hands, they walked quickly to the player tunnel without looking back.

Steve Ballmer still came to the away game with the team. The old man didn't care that no one in the front row was watching the game.

At this time, at the entrance of the player tunnel, they happily bumped fists with everyone in the Clippers to celebrate.

"16:0! We're getting there!"

Seeing Li Ze approaching, Steve Ballmer immediately started yelling again.

"There are still two rounds of the series. Back in Los Angeles, we should also appeal to the fans. We need more abilities this year!"

Li Ze gave a suggestion with a smile, and Steve Ballmer immediately nodded in response. It's not difficult!

Li Ze, who was walking towards the locker room, suddenly had memories of the Rockets and the Spurs in his mind:

"Good guy! Is this also a butterfly effect?"
