The Rockets are still a weak team! After Westbrook was retired for the season, they won the first game. Unexpectedly, on May 2, they defeated their opponents again, tenaciously rewriting the score to 3:2.

!

On May 4, the Thunder defeated the Rockets on the road and finally advanced to the second round with a total score of 4:2. Their opponent in the second round was the Denver Nuggets, who also won 4:2 a day earlier.

2 defeated the Los Angeles Clippers.

The two teams from Los Angeles went home one after another, which left fans in the City of Angels with no place to put their love for basketball. Xie Kai, the central figure in the current topic, the star from Los Angeles, has become the place where fans can place their emotional sustenance.

The number of Grizzlies supporters has grown further, almost beyond expectations.

The Rockets have finally returned home. The feud between Westbrook and Beverley will continue until next season at the earliest. Thunder fans are angry, but their home team also suffered heavy losses. Without Westbrook,

Under the circumstances, it doesn't seem to be easy to pass the Denver Athletics in the semifinals.

Is Durant awesome in every game? It doesn’t look easy! But Thunder fans can only look forward to him, otherwise, how can they look forward to Kevin Martin, who has already embarrassed himself?

The Rockets were eliminated, and Beverley, as the current celebrity, was still sought after and interviewed by the media even though he was eliminated.

His outstanding performance in the playoffs showed his own value. Beverley showed people that he can bite the opponent's backcourt stars like a mad dog, allowing Harden to rest on the defensive end, and he can't do anything on the offensive end anyway.

No need for the ball, just as Harden wanted.

Harden is actually a thief. His basketball IQ is very high, his personal offensive skills are excellent, and his passing vision is good. On the offensive end, he is a representative of the floor at a young age. He will never dunk if he can lay up, and he will never hit the ball if he can.

When he's strong, he can run faster than anyone else when he's on the fast break to steal points, and when he's on defense, he's commanding with his eyes.

Such a player's statistics will definitely not be bad, but if someone who is too smart and too thief becomes the leader of the team, it will be almost meaningless after all.

You must know that in the playoffs, you have to fight with real swords and guns. Opportunistic tricks can only be used in individual rounds and cannot be used for a long time. Moreover, the defense in the playoffs will be upgraded. With targeted arrangements, the chances of getting into trouble are not as bad as in the regular season.

It works well. But if you don't pay attention on the defensive end, you will be chased and beaten.

Beverley can complement Harden, and this has been reflected in the playoffs. Although the sample size is not large, it is not small. Obviously, the Rockets will most likely keep him this summer, even if

If he doesn't stay, his mad dog style in the playoffs will also arouse the interest of some teams. Basically, it can be said that his contract for next season is stable. It is just a matter of the size of the contract.

"Patrick, where are you going to go fishing next?" a reporter asked.

Beverly was a little unhappy. Did this reporter take the wrong medicine? He actually asked me such a nasty question.

"What do you mean? Does where I go fishing have anything to do with you?" Beverly was unhappy, but he thought quickly and immediately thought whether this reporter might be Xie Kai or someone from the Thunder.

"Don't ask me when I will go fishing. Memphis and Oklahoma will be finished in the next round. Kane, Shay and KD will also go fishing. You can go fishing with them then!" Beverley mocked.

Beverly now hates hearing the names of Xie Kai and Westbrook. He feels that he is just playing basketball, but these guys make him look like a villain. But it doesn't matter, he came to the NBA to be a villain. This is

Your own label is the basis for your survival in this alliance.

The second round of the Western Conference playoffs is about to begin.

Many media reporters, experts, and NBA celebrities use various methods to make forward-looking predictions for the next game. The Grizzlies vs. the Spurs are the highlight of the second round.

Originally, the top 8 in the Western Conference were recognized as capable of competing for the championship. They were the top three Thunder, Spurs and Grizzlies. The 4th-ranked Athletics and the 5th-ranked Clippers seemed to have a luxurious record, and the gap between them and the top 3 was not too big.

, but anyone who knows football knows that as long as the top three teams don't have major injuries, they have no chance.

Fortunately, last year's runner-up and this year's No. 1 Thunder in the Western Conference have basically withdrawn from the championship due to the loss of two players. Therefore, the remaining Spurs and Grizzlies are almost the last two teams in the Western Conference to compete for the championship.

Team up.

Based on this, the second round of the Western Conference playoffs can almost be said to be the Western Conference Finals arriving early.

In addition, the two teams have met in the playoffs for two consecutive seasons, and the grievances and stories between them have also raised the attention and topicality of this series to another level.

In the first round of the playoffs in 2011, the Spurs were defeated by the eighth-place Grizzlies despite their main coach being injured. GDP and Zhugewei were nailed to the pillar of shame in history, which they still grieve about to this day.

Last year, in 2012, in the second round of the playoffs, the Grizzlies were swept by the Spurs in revenge due to the internal strife caused by Gay, and the gap between the two sides was officially forged.

The two teams have met again this season. This is the third consecutive meeting since Xie Kai joined the Grizzlies. This time both teams have full lineups, and both showed good strength in the first round. This meeting will definitely be like sparks hitting the earth.

existence.

The two teams were very polite in the pre-match interviews and there was no quarrel, but any three-year-old child knows that behind the smiles is the determination to kill the other team.

Xie Kai already knew that the real battle in the playoffs was coming. In the past with the Warriors, as long as they didn't relax and played step by step, there would be no chance if the opponent didn't explode. But unlike the Spurs, this team has no chance from the head coach to the next level.

The players are too experienced. They won't give you so many opportunities to make adjustments, and they won't give you too many flaws. There are almost no shortcuts except being tough.

On May 3, the Grizzlies set off for San Antonio. According to the schedule, they faced the Spurs, who were ranked second in the Western Conference in the regular season, in the semifinals, so there was no home field advantage.

San Antonio. This is not the first time Xie Kai has come here this season, but this time is different. This time it is the playoffs, and it is a life-and-death battle.

Xie Kai felt the hostility toward himself and his team in every tree and plant. He laughed at himself as to how he could act like "every tree and every tree is an enemy"!

You still have to stay calm, right?

The tickets for this game have already been sold out. This is the game that Spurs fans want to see the most and the opponent they are most willing to beat.
