The Warriors and the Spurs game explained to the league what tenacity means. On June 4, the Warriors defeated the Spurs a little. A day later, on June 6, the Warriors presented Mp at home. With this reward, Chamberlain scored points, 18 rebounds, ll assists, and 6 blocks, leading the Warriors to beat the Spurs with a l1094 victory, achieving a brilliant record of two consecutive victories in the Western Conference semifinals.
This result is quite dazzling. In the history of NHAR spoon, there has never been a game in which a team in the Western Conference Semi-Finals can eliminate their opponents even if they lose two consecutive games at the beginning. So the Warriors fans were excited and they were about to enter the Western Conference Finals again.
As a result, the battle moved to San Antonio two days later. The Spurs were not depressed. Amid the enthusiastic cheers of home fans, they dropped the Warriors 95-0. In that game, the Spurs played the rhythm they were best at, and the whole game was playing defensive battles, and it was a team battle. The Spurs won a victory.
Then, the fourth game started again. This time, the Warriors strengthened their offense and defense at the beginning, just like the second game, hoping to directly conquer the opponent and win in one fell swoop. However, the Spurs' resilience and tenacity were shocking. They once again defended their home position and won the victory again.
, in this way, the two teams tied the score.
At a time when the fans of the two teams were extremely worried, the NHA officially announced the winner of the 2609 season's fastest-progress player award. Pacers forward Danny Granger beats the Nets Devin Harris. Harris ranked second and West ranked third.
The NH set up this award to recognize players who have made significant progress in a season. The selection results were generated by a total of 21 sports journalists, editors and commentators from all over the United States and Canada. Three players can be selected in turn, with the first choice plus 6 points, the second choice plus 1 points, and the third vote plus 1 points. Finally, the total score is calculated to select the winner. The theoretical highest score that a player can get is 66 points. Granger won 34 points this time, including 48 first votes, 37 second votes and 13 third votes.
West and Harris were previously strong contenders for the fastest-progress player award, but they both ended up losing to Granger. Harris scored a total of 339 points, including 43 first-choice votes, 3 second-choice votes and 19 third-choice votes. West, who ranked third, was far behind the top two, and he only scored 83 points, including the first-choice vote.
This season is the fourth year that Granger has entered the league. In recent seasons, Granger has increased at least 6 points per game every year. His average score in the rookie season is 6 points, and this season has risen to 2.B points, ranking fifth in the league's scoring list, an increase of 6 points from 19.6 points last season. Granger is also the first player in NHA history to increase at least 6 points per game for three consecutive seasons. In addition, this season Granger has 1 rebound and 2 attacks.
Granger played 6 games this season, including 49 games leading the team, including 13 of the last 14 games of the season. Granger made a total of 43 three-pointers in these 14 games, with a shooting percentage of 44.0. He made a total of 182 three-pointers throughout the season, ranking third in the Pacers' history.
At the beginning of this season, the Pacers signed a six-year contract with Granger with a total value of $660,000. Granger did not disappoint the team's expectations for him. Not only was he selected for the Eastern Conference All-Star lineup for the first time, but he also won the fastest-progress player award at the end of the season.
For Warriors fans, this award is not important because they did not expect West to win the award. The sixth person was originally going to have a disadvantage in competing for this award. What they were looking forward to is the fifth key battle.
As a result, in the fifth game, the Warriors seemed to be confused. They played an unprecedented bad game, scoring only 76 points in the whole game, the lowest score since the start of the regular season this season. They were killed by the Spurs with 6 soldiers without bloodshed and died miserably
The Warriors fans were stunned. The celebration was vaguely in front of them, but when they closed their eyes and opened them, the team was already behind by a big score of 2-
It was the Spurs' turn to be happy. There was another iron rule in the semi-finals, that is, any team that won three consecutive victories successfully eliminated their opponents and advanced to the division finals. Spurs fans were extremely excited and began to say on the forum that they wanted to find the next opponent to see if they could advance.
Previously, the Lakers and the Mavericks were hard to resolve. The battle between the Warriors and the Spurs was very fierce? The Lakers and the Mavericks were even more chaotic.
The Lakers won the first game of the series, and then lost a home game for the Mavericks. After the score was 1l, the Mavericks immediately lost at home, but this aroused their arrogance and anger. In the subsequent fourth game, the Mavericks won again, so they came to 22. The day after the Warriors lost to the Spurs, the Lakers won again, and the scores of both sides in B2 were exactly the same.
Compared with the west, the situation in the east is much clearer.
James vented his anger on his opponents without getting the MpR spoon. The Eagles were in trouble now. They also played five games, but the game was over, and the Cavs eliminated them.
In these five games, the Cavaliers averaged 10B4, and James's data was 3.6ll rebounds and 7 assists. Among them, the first game, the second game and the third game, he scored 44 points, 40 points and points in three consecutive games, and he bravely caught up with Kobe in the peak scoring era that year.
The Magic and the Celtics were quite difficult to play. After five games, the Magic maintained the lead with B2. However, the Celtics had a disadvantage, that is, the players were older and the longer the front line was, the more inconvenient it would be for them. The Magic relied on Howard, a young and strong little monster, and the more they played, the more they played, the better they performed.
On the road to the promotion between Magic and Celtics, both sides are now half-to-half. The former has physical strength and vitality advantages, while the latter has experience and mentality advantages, so it is hard to say who can advance. However, the Knights hope that Magic can advance, because they seem to have to kneel down when facing the Green Shirts who are good at team combat.
The two games before the end of the regular season are still fresh in the memory of Cavaliers fans. The Spurs and Warriors rely on team tactics to crippled the Cavaliers.
With the nervous and anticipated eyes of Chinese fans, the sixth battle between the Warriors and the Spurs has begun. For the Warriors, this battle is not allowed to be defeated. If they lose again, they will be eliminated.
After the opening, Chamberlain jumped vigorously and gave the racket to Billups. Iverson still rushed forward quickly, but was still blocked by Parker. In the first two games, Parker had found the opponent's answer to the game to score quickly.
Iverson was extremely stubborn and still had to pass the ball and layup. As a result, the ball was off the basket under the clamp of Duncan and Parker. Chamberlain took a step back. When the ball bounced up, he stomped his feet and flew up directly. He raised his hands high and grabbed the ball. He smashed it down without waiting for the ground and dunked it.
Duncan missed a layup with a backhand, Chamberlain grabbed the rebound and passed it to Iverson to organize a fast break counterattack. The answer finally had a chance to take revenge, and rushed to the basket at lightning speed and sent the ball into the ring. Then, two seconds later, the Spurs made a mistake. Parker passed the ball with Iverson tightening pressure and passed the ball Finley, but the former Mavericks king was already old today. He did not expect Parker to pass the ball so early, but he did not return his head and let the ball pass the court.
After that, Hill made a jump shot by a sudden stop, and the Warriors started very smoothly, taking a 0 lead in less than 2 minutes.
Iverson and Hill are particularly energetic today. For Chamberlain and West, being eliminated this season is just because the opponent has completed revenge, but they have accumulated more playoff experience, but for them, it is not, which means that their hopes for winning the championship are shattered.
The Spurs don't want to lose. They don't want to win the championship, but want to destroy the Warriors and prove their strength.
In the first three games, the Warriors were beaten like that. It was not that the Spurs suddenly became stronger, but that the team had to lose the Warriors at all costs: any team that reached the semi-finals had hope of reaching the finals, so subconsciously, both sides would maintain some of their physical strength. The Spurs are just a matter of life now, and all their strength is used up in this round of series. They were caught off guard by the Warriors.
Popovich called for a timeout. After returning, Ginobi, who came on as a substitute, used an emergency stop jump shot to get the first two points for the Spurs, but Hill then hit the backwards, and Chamberlain even made a self-shot and scored a point.
Obviously, compared with the Spurs, who are used to restraining their temperament to their hearts, the Warriors have a stronger desire to revenge and play very vigorously at the beginning.
But after that, the Spurs found a way to deal with it, suddenly strengthened their defensive strength, and launched 2-joint defense. The Warriors' form declined. The Spurs took the opportunity to narrow the score gap. Duncan, Ginobili, and Parker cooperated with the attack and chased the score to 15-18.
With two and a half minutes left in the first quarter, the Warriors launched the last counterattack in the first quarter. Chamberlain was like a Raptor in the inside, hitting the charge jump shot and scoring 4 points, West received Billups' assist and made a jump shot, and then staged a breakthrough dunk. In this way, the Warriors scored a B2 attack climax and led the Spurs 2-18.
The shooting percentages of both sides at the beginning of the second quarter were not high. The Spurs strengthened their encirclement against Chamberlain. He could dunk, but he could not hook the mid-range or long-range shots. As long as he went beyond the penalty area and wanted to take action, he would be fouled and he would not feel warm in any case.
After four minutes of the game, Chamberlain grabbed the offensive rebound by quickly falling, and made a jump shot from the side and scored the first sports game. Seeing this, the Spurs strengthened the encirclement and suppression. Old Nelson immediately replaced Chamberlain and started playing a small tactic. Down's running and shooting began.
In such a critical battle, Old Nelson actually replaced the substitute lineup. He used Curry and Morrow to control the backcourt, and the surprises received a miraculous effect. The Spurs were familiar with Iverson, Chamberlain, Billups, and West, but they were not familiar with Curry and Morrow.
In this way, although the Warriors replaced the main lineup, their advantage not only did not shrink, but instead expanded. After Curry came on the court, he made two consecutive three-point long shots, and Morro also scored 4 points through a breakthrough layup, so the two teamed up to score 10 points.
Seeing that the opponent's sports battle was excellent, Popovich immediately strengthened his defense. In addition, while Chamberlain was not present and the Warriors' backcourt combination was also poor, he strengthened his impact on the basket. GDp attacked the penalty area one after another.
In this way, the Warriors could not defend against the impact of GDPR, Evans and Ibaka were repeatedly misaligned, and Duncan played easily. However, the Warriors' outside line was still maintaining their courageous performance, and Curry even played as I, so the two sides started a tug-of-war, and no one could do anything to each other for a while.
But in this way, the Spurs can't stand it anymore, because the Warriors are playing now, but the substitute lineup, the three outside players, Iverson, West and Billups, are all sitting on the bench.
In the last two minutes, Popovich replaced GDp to rest, while old Nelson replaced Chamberlain, West, Iverson and Billups. For the four of them, the old man only had one request, let's attack crazy.
After playing, West continued Curry's hot touch, and he made a jump shot and three-pointer as soon as he came on the court, but the Spurs' substitute also had two points. George Hill made consecutive emergency stops and surprised the Warriors with a series of unreasonable mid-range shots. At one point, the gap between the two teams narrowed to 6 points.
Fortunately, there is no luck in the inside competition, and it is all hard work of one move. Chamberlain beat Oberto on his back and made a 2I and blocked Kent Thomas and Bowen's moves. Billups assisted Iverson, and then he made consecutive shots, finally opening the score again.
Chapter completed!
