East and West Matches

115:103

Finally, when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the score between the two sides was completely settled.

Regardless of the fact that the Kings only lost by 12 points in the end, in fact, the point difference remained around 20 points most of the time.

It wasn't until the last four or five minutes that the Kings players made a fierce attack and narrowed the point difference.

However, no matter whether it is 10 points or 20 points, it cannot change the result of the Kings losing.

After winning this game, the score between the two sides has reached 3:1, and the SuperSonics gained the match point.

In the next three games, they only need to win one more game to advance to the Western Conference Finals.

As for the Kings, if they want to turn defeat into a victory, they must win all three remaining games.

This is obviously impossible.

Not to mention, the Sonics will have two home games in the next three games.

Otherwise, why would we say this game is a life and death battle for the Kings?

Once they lose, they stand on the edge of the cliff.

In this game, the most important contributor to the victory was naturally the SuperSonics star Wang Hao.

In this game, he personally scored 43 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists, which was almost a super triple-double.

In fact, in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, Wang Hao was somewhat interested in rebounding.

Who would have imagined that at this time, the Kings suddenly gave up.

The Kings replaced all their main players, and the Sonics naturally had to do the same. This is also an unspoken rule.

It's just that Paul Westphal actually asked Wang Hao when he replaced him.

"Wang, the triple-double is just two rebounds away. Why don't you go on the court and try to win?"

What did you say? What did you say?

Why should I brush up? Is he such a player? It's too shameless to brush up on points and rebounds.

"It's just a triple-double. Actually, I don't care. For me, winning is enough."

Upon hearing this, Paul Westphal looked at Wang Hao with admiration and gave a thumbs up.

Then, he substituted Wang Hao.

To be honest, at that second, Wang Hao was a little dumbfounded. He was just being modest in a symbolic way. Can't you ask again?

Well, he forgot that this is the United States, not China.

Americans don't like being modest. If you say you don't care, people will really think you don't care.

Thinking of this, he felt regretful!

Not only that, he also looked a little uncomfortable when he looked at Paul Westphal. These directors have no eyesight!

Do you still need to ask about this kind of thing? Can't you just arrange for me to play?

I have to say that as a coach, you still have to learn from Coach Lu. Look at what this coach is like, how knowledgeable he is about people and the world?

It's a bit of a pity that I couldn't get a triple-double in the playoffs, but it's okay, as long as I win.

After four games, the situation in the Western Conference is already clear.

Needless to say, the SuperSonics are leading the Kings 3:1 and are unlikely to be overturned!

Then there's the Lakers.

Well, there is no need to say more about this, because they have successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

That's right, after returning home, the Lakers won two consecutive games.

In this way, the Spurs, the NBA championship team the year before last, were swept out of the competition by many experts and media.

To be honest, this is really hard to imagine.

You know, during the regular season, the Spurs' momentum was quite hot.

The regular season record is even better than the Lakers, just behind the SuperSonics.

As a result, in the playoffs, they were swept out 4:0, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

However, after looking at the performance of the players on both sides, it is actually not difficult to understand that the Spurs lost.

In these four games, Kobe was definitely the biggest contributor to the Lakers' victory, averaging 33+7+7 per game.

To be able to produce such data in the playoffs, I have to say, it is indeed an exaggeration.

At the same time, it also shows that the Spurs' outside players really can't restrict Kobe.

In addition, O'Neal also averaged 27 points and 13 rebounds per game, a stable and efficient output.

Facing an OK combination in such a state, the Spurs really have no chance of winning.

Let alone the Spurs, any team would have a headache if they saw the Lakers like this.

As for the eastern part, it was caught in a melee.

The first is the numbers team and the Raptors. The Raptors, who originally had an away victory, have a considerable advantage.

As a result, in the fourth game, the digital team unexpectedly pulled the game back.

This is not just a matter of winning or losing, but the Raptors once again gave up their advantage.

Not only the big score advantage, but also the home field advantage.

One thing to say is that in this game, the leading stars of both sides played really poorly in this game.

First, Iverson threw 30 balls wildly, then hit 20 irons wildly, almost smashing the Raptors' basket.

We have reason to suspect that this is Iverson's malicious revenge on the Raptors!

Not counting free throws, I only scored 23 points in 30 shots. This damn efficiency is pretty good.

You think Iverson played badly, but there are worse things.

He probably saw Iverson hit 20 irons wildly and knocked his own basket a little crooked. Carter hit it 19 more times and knocked the basket back.

He made 8 of 27 shots, a shooting percentage of less than 30%, not counting free throws, and only scored 17 points in 27 shots.

This game is purely about who can play worse.

To be honest, when he saw the video of this game, Wang Hao was a little suspicious, whether the two of them bought peripherals and engaged in match-fixing!

Especially Carter, who just made 19 of 29 shots in the last game and scored 50 points. Isn’t this okay?

That's right, maybe his touch was completely exhausted in the last game.

The two sides are back on the same starting line, which is definitely not a good thing for the Raptors. After all, there is no home field advantage.

As for the Bucks and Hornets, they each defended two home games, which can be regarded as a temporary peace.

It's just that the Bucks have the home court advantage after all. If the Hornets want to win, they have to take the initiative to make changes.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Wang Hao or supersonic speed.

They just paid a little attention to the game situation. After all, their game was not over yet.

It was still one day later, and the game returned to Seattle again.

However, there were not many surprises in this game.

From the beginning of the game, the SuperSonics firmly held the advantage, and the score remained at 10 points.

Not only the home field advantage bonus, but also the state of the SuperSonics is also very good.

In the first quarter of the game, Wang Hao and Gary Payton scored 21 points together, which helped the team establish this 10-point advantage.

In the third quarter, Wang Hao broke out again, hitting 5 three-pointers in a single quarter, completely shattering the game.

As for Wang Hao, it was another 30+ performance.

On the other side, Kobe Bryant performed brilliantly in the playoffs, and Wang Hao was not bad at all.

The Sonics win again.

"Congratulations to the SuperSonics for winning this series with a score of 4:1 and advancing to the Western Conference Finals."

Sun Zhengping's voice sounded, and these slightly familiar words were once again spread to thousands of households in China.

This season's playoffs, CCTV broadcast all 8 games of the Sonics live.

I've heard the Sonics win over and over again, and I'm used to it.

Watching the team you support continue to win is undoubtedly the happiest thing for Chinese fans.
