The Warriors won two games in a row and then flew to New Orleans to prepare for the two games afterwards.

The first two games gave birth to two peak players in the Western Conference, Chamberlain and Paul, this season's playoffs.

In the East, Ross is leading his Bulls Legion invincible battle. The young point guard has recovered his Bulls' glory just in the third season of the league and led the team to the top record in the Eastern Conference.

In the West, there is another defender who does not perform worse than Ross, that is Paul.

Although the Hornets lost both games in the past two games, this cannot put the blame on Paul.

Even the most demanding critics cannot criticize Paul after watching the game. It is already a miracle that Paul can still achieve such a record when his best helper is an inside player who has been seriously injured and can only defend and not attack even at the peak.

In the past two games, Paul made a total of 45 shots, scored 6 points, 2 assists, stumbled, and 7 rebounds. You know, he scored this point under West, Carter, Curry and even occasionally double-teamed Jackson and Barnes.

Regarding the results of these two games, the picky Hornets fans all played the comfort slogan "Paul, don't be sad, you have done it to the extreme," and now mentions Paul and his defeated two games, experts can only say the crime of war.

However, the basketball atmosphere in New Orleans is indeed average. The Warriors, the mortal enemy, came to this city, and the fans did not respond.

Only when the Warriors bus departed from the airport, there were some lonely banners on both sides of the road, with a few words such as, "Get out of New Orleans, kicking the Oakland country bumpkins hard, "The Warriors will die here, etc.

This disappointed Chamberlain and shrugged helplessly: "This is the playoff atmosphere? No wonder their boss wants to sell teams. How can such teams make money by selling tickets?"

"New Orleans have always been like this. It was a wrong choice for the Hornets to move from Charlotte." Carter said lazily.

Carter now enjoys this kind of game feeling, because in the playoffs, including the Raptors, Nets, and Magic, they were torture with fear. They didn’t know when they would lose to their opponents, and they didn’t know what state they would encounter in the next game.

Now he doesn't need to have such a feeling, because in the Warriors, we can have a sense of confidence, the pleasure that we can crush them no matter how strong the opponents we have to face in front.

This confidence comes from Chamberlain, which is the charm of the super center.

After hearing Carter's words, Iverson said: "I think the Hornets have been much better when they come to New Orleans. Think about it, was anyone going to watch the game on the spot in Charlotte? In New Orleans, at least they had a good life of five or six years. If they were in Charlotte, they would have sold the team long ago."

Tabit asked timidly: "I heard that Charlotte's basketball atmosphere is very good."

He wanted to integrate into the Warriors, so he tried to participate in their discussions, because when he was with the Grizzlies, he lacked communication with his teammates. As a result, he was traded afterwards, which can be said to be abandoned because the transaction would not have such a cheap price.

Hill is a good guy. He saw Tabitt's idea, answered him with understanding, and quickly said: "Different, Charlotte is a loyal NCAAR fan. They are not very enthusiastic about business leagues like NH. There is no market for commercial basketball there. Look, the Bobcats are now taken over by Jordan, and Jordan is Charlotte's hero. His alma mater, the University of North Carolina, is there, but the Bobcats' attendance is not very good."

"It would be better to move all these teams to our China. Our fans are the most enthusiastic." Chamberlain laughed.

West curled his lips and said, "If this is the case, who dares to play basketball? Even if you fly to China, you are so tired that you have half your life. How can you have the energy to play basketball?

As Chamberlain's secretary, Curry kindly reminded several people: "You'd better keep your physical strength first, and the next one will be a tough battle."

"Hard battle?" West said disdainfully, "I'm worried now. How embarrassing would it be if I go to the New Orleans Arena if I don't have fans watching the game?"

The next night, indeed, when the Warriors players entered the New Orleans Arena, they found that the attendance rate of the stadium was less than 80%.

This is incredible for Oakland, because the Warriors' playoff tickets were sold out long ago at the end of the regular season, and it is hard to get a home ticket for the Warriors.

The Hornets fans were quite quiet. They had no other words of resistance except booing. Chamberlain felt that these fans booing were also a traditional way of doing things in the past. The fans didn't care about the result of the game at all.

But the Hornets players care a lot, and they are still very serious in dealing with the game. The starting lineups sent are: Oakland, Asik, Ariza, Belineri and Paul.

For the Warriors, naturally, Chamberlain brought Ibaka, Jackson, Carter and West to face it, which is their long-term lineup.

After the opening, the Warriors got the ball. The Hornets may have returned to home. Their defense was even more tacit. West accelerated the breakthrough after arriving in the frontcourt, but was tied up by Paul and Ariza. The Mad Dogs quickly passed the ball. The Warriors did not have an open chance. Chamberlain took a tough move and ended up making a fuss.

The Warriors' defense is always so airtight. Paul rushed into the penalty area with the help of Pelineri's cover and was immediately shrouded by Chamberlain, blocking Paul's way.

Paul dribbled the ball under his crotch for two consecutive times and then accelerated to make a time difference to score a layup. As a result, Chamberlain followed from behind. Paul was shocked and could only take a quick move, and the ball hit the iron.

In this way, both teams defended closely at the beginning and failed to hit the first two shots. With 10 minutes and 34 seconds left in the first quarter, Chamberlain blocked Ariza's layup. The Warriors made a defensive counterattack. Chamberlain followed and he scored the first shot from mid-range.

The Hornets have more offensive blind spots. They played in the game - minutes before they turned around and shot, scoring in the sports game for the first time.

As the existence of the Hornets who destroyed the Hornets in one hand in the past two games, Chamberlain was under key control and was fouled several times when he got to the basket.

In this way, the Warriors temporarily gained a lead by relying on Chamberlain's foul.

Old Nelson could not bear the Warriors' undying state, so he called a timeout, and the Warriors led 13-forward.

The Hornets changed their strategy in this game, just focus on suppressing the rhythm, then play a defensive battle with the Warriors, and take it slowly to beat the Warriors.

Because the two teams are different, the Hornets are good if they can win one game in the playoffs and win two games to complete the task, which is an unexpected surprise. As for winning four games to overtake, they do not have such a grand ideal.

What about the Warriors? The Hornets are just their whetstones, and what they have to do is to advance because there are more and stronger opponents waiting for them in the future.

This determines the two different mentality of dealing with the game. The Hornets can use all their strength at the full range, while the Warriors must save their energy. They cannot waste too much energy in this round of games.

Curry cooperated with Carter to control the backcourt, and Chamberlain transferred the ball out as soon as possible according to the arrangement of Old Nelson, so that the Warriors slowly found the offensive feeling and gradually gained an advantage.

Chamberlain made a jump shot with 19.1 seconds left in the first quarter. After that, he blocked Peja's mid-range shot. Curry passed to the frontcourt to Carter, who made a layup. After that, the Hornets failed to make a buzzer-beating ball, and the Warriors ended the first quarter with a 6-point lead of 220.

Changes appear in the second section.

In the past two games, the Warriors have made a fierce attack in the second quarter, and then bought time for Chamberlain's rest in the third quarter. The fierce attacks in this quarter often come from Chamberlain, so Asik and Okafor subconsciously strengthened their double-teaming against him.

As a result, the Warriors suddenly began to make continuous attempts from the outside in the second quarter. Curry, who came on the bench, made two three-pointers at the beginning, suddenly pulled the score to double digits, and the Hornets began to feel bad.

In addition to Curry, Carter also kept shooting, Chamberlain was in the inside to attract double teams, Ibaka was floating on the outside and involved Ariza's defense, and the Hornets' defense suddenly had loopholes.

After continuous hits from the outside, the Warriors began to tear the Hornets' defense. They made 15 shots in this quarter, quickly opening the gap.

There were still minutes and 37 seconds left in this quarter. Chamberlain broke through quickly from the high position, rushed into the basket and dunked, causing Okafor's foul, and scored a point with a dunk.

After that, Curry broke through and passed it to Chamberlain at the basket, who scored another layup, and the Warriors led 44-0.

Ariza and Paul doubled three-pointers, but Curry also made a three-pointer to hit back. In addition, Chamberlain fiercely made another 2I at the basket. In addition, he also hit the board at the end of this quarter, so that the Warriors ended the first half with 613.

In the first half, the Warriors played very smoothly, which is what the Hornets are worried about and what all teams are worried about in the playoffs.

Because of common sense, shooting is not a person, but every year in the playoffs, there are teams with a lot of touch that can always kill one or two opponents by shooting, such as the Hawks last season, which is difficult to do.

West scored only 2 points in the first half. Shortly after the start of the third quarter, he made a first shot and then grabbed the Hornets' rebound that missed the shot, making a one-stop game, scoring 4 points in a row, helping the Warriors get a 19-point advantage of 55-6.

Taking advantage of Chamberlain's defeat, Paul led the Hornets to counterattack, and he scored 7 points by himself. The Hornets scored a 2-0 post-season and scored 48-

The Warriors failed to score in the last 4 minutes, and Ibaka made a jump shot when there were 6 minutes and 3 seconds left in the quarter. After that, Carter used his experience to create a defensive foul to get a free throw opportunity. The Warriors regained a double-digit advantage.

In the second half of the third quarter, the Warriors once led by 18 points, Paul scored a buzzer-beating three-pointer, and the Hornets scored 6 points in a row at the last moment, and fell behind by 66 after three quarters.

In the fourth quarter, Paul did not want to continue to lose at home, so he took the lead with red eyes. Under his leadership, the Hornets approached the score several times, but were suppressed by Chamberlain.

After Paul made a layup, Ibaka made two free throws, he scored 2-2, and then Chamberlain broke Okafor at the basket and made a dunk. After Paul assisted Peja to shoot another shot, Chamberlain immediately found an opportunity to layup and scored points with free throws.

Paul was ready to continue to lead the Hornets to fight back, but in the next breakthrough, he was too aggressive to West, and the two irritable guys started arguing directly. West called Paul dirty and swung his elbow, Paul scolded Paul for being shameless and tripped, and both ended up taking technical fouls.

The hot atmosphere in the playoffs began to appear. After Paul made two three-pointers, he scored the score to 80.

West made an emergency stop and jumped a ball, then stole it and passed it to Carter who was counterattacking. Carter had already run at the front and made a layup after receiving the ball.

Chamberlain later blocked Paul's breakthrough landing. He made two free throws after he wanted the ball to cause a foul on the offensive end. The Warriors opened the gap again 3-2 with 2 minutes and 54 seconds left in the game.

The Hornets still wanted to fight back, but unfortunately it was too late. The Warriors began to delay time and secure the victory, and finally won the third game with 6-B.
