Although the Magic finally lost in this game, the Celtics tied the score to 2:1 on the away game.

However, the Celtics did not win this game very easily, especially Su Jiu's perfect shot in the first half, which made the Celtics sweat even more.

I believe that if the Celtics' defensive focus on the court is adjusted at one o'clock in the evening, the final outcome of this game is not easy to say.

Although the Magic team eventually lost this game, Su Jiu's personal performance in the whole game can be called the gods descending to earth.

Su Jiu played for a total of 38 minutes in the whole game, making 13 of 24 shots, including 9 of 18 from outside the three-point line and 2 of 2 free throws. In the end, he scored 37 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in the game G3.

The 37 points in a single game in the playoffs once again broke the 32-point record set by Su Jiu in the last game.

Moreover, the entire Magic team scored only 82 points in total, so Su Jiu's 37 points in a single game is infinitely close to 50% of the team's contribution.

So after this game, although the Magic finally faced losing, Su Jiu's name was once again on the hot search.

Even from the limelight of the playoffs, Su Jiu has already surpassed James in the East and Kobe in the West, becoming the most shocking dark horse in the playoffs this year.

Except for Su Jiu, Howard and Iverson's performance in this game is still relatively sluggish.

The continued downturn of these two people is also the main reason why the Magic lost the game of g3.

Howard made a total of 39 minutes in the whole game, including only 3 of his 12 shots and 4 of 9 free throws, and finally contributed a statistic of 10 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

As for Iverson, he played for a total of 32 minutes, making only 5 of his 16 shots, including 0 of 6 from outside the three-point line, 3 of 5 free throws, contributing 13 points, 3 rebounds and 4 steals.

In this game, Su Jiu, Iverson, and Howard contributed a total of 60 points.

This means that the other players of the Magic team only scored 22 points in total.

While both Iverson and Howard were targeted, other Magic players failed to stand up and help at this critical moment.

Therefore, the Magic's loss seemed to have become a necessity.

As for whether the Magic can rebound on both offense and defense in the next step, this question is not only what experts and fans want to know about outsiders, but even the team's head coach Stan Van Gundy wants to know about...

…………………

May 8.

Since the Magic lost to the Celtics away yesterday, the outside world's reputation for the Eastern Conference semi-finals has changed a lot.

The support rate for the Celtics who even support the promotion has reached 63%, which in turn means that the support rate for the Magic who support the promotion has dropped to 37%.

So the failure of g3 in this game can be said to have pushed the Magic to the edge of the cliff.

After all, the fourth game of the Eastern Conference semi-finals will continue in Boston, so for the Magic, this can definitely be regarded as a bad news.

In addition to the recently highly anticipated Celtics vs Magic series, other semi-finals of the East and West games have also started, and in terms of the situation, they have also presented some interesting situations.

Among them, in the West, the Lakers, which ranked first in the league in the regular season, met the Houston Rockets in the semi-finals.

Before this game started, the outside media could be said to be basically optimistic about the Lakers.

After all, the dominance shown by the Lakers this season is completely visible to the naked eye.

What's more, the Rockets were able to beat the Portland Trail Blazers in the first round, which was completely beyond the media's expectations.

Therefore, for this round of competition between the Rockets and the Lakers, the current external reputation has basically shown a one-sided situation.

However, with the start of the Western Conference semi-finals, the Rockets gave everyone a big surprise.

In the first two matches of the Western Conference semi-finals, both games started at the Lakers' home court.

But even when the time, place and people are not on the Rockets' side, the Rockets massacred the Los Angeles Lakers in G2 game 17 points, decking the total score of this round of series to 1:1.

It can be said that this situation is definitely beyond the expectations of the media, because as McGrady's condition declines this season, the Rockets' lack of soldiers due to injuries.

At present, this Rockets faces the Los Angeles Lakers, and no matter how you look at it, you can say that they have no chance of winning.

But the Rockets forced the Lakers away with Yao Ming's 29 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks in G2.

While refusing to be swept, the suspense of this round of series has been greatly improved.

It is also worth mentioning that although the Rockets slaughtered the Lakers by 17 points in the game G2, McGrady's performance still makes people feel a little sad.

McGrady only made a 16-minute appearance in this game, but she had to leave early because of her right knee injury. As for whether she can make a comeback in the next series, this is still an unknown number so far.

In the 16 minutes of Maddie's appearance, he only made 1 of 5 shots and 0 of 3 from outside the three-point line. Since leaving the game with injury, he has only handed in 2 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 turnovers.

Among them, the positive and negative values ​​of individuals in this game were as low as the lowest in the team-8.

You should know that in addition to McGrady who left the game early due to injury, in this game, the Rockets had the lowest positive and negative values ​​of Vaughan Weaver's -2.

Except for Weaver and McGrady, among the ten players who played in this game, the other eight players had positive positive values.

So this means that when McGrady was on the court, the Rockets not only did not get better, but also lost to the Lakers 8 points.

I have to say that although this scene is sad, this is the reality...

In addition to the Lakers and Rockets, another Western Conference matchup between the Mavericks vs. Nuggets played a bit too smoothly.

In the first two matches of the Western Conference semi-finals, the Nuggets tied the total score of the series to 2:0 without any blood.

And the Nuggets won as much as 26 points in these two games, so this result also hit a lot from the face of pre-match experts.

You know, the Mavericks ended up being ranked sixth in the West in the regular season this season, but the Mavericks accidentally defeated the third-place Spurs in the West in the first round.

Moreover, Nowitzki and Jason Terry performed very well in the first round, with a trend of counterattacking and winning the championship.

Therefore, after entering the Western Conference semi-finals, the Dallas Mavericks, which had strong combat power in the first round, were also highly regarded by the media.

There are even many experts who analyze that the Mavericks are likely to play a tiebreak with the Nuggets and can only barely decide the winner in the final battle of Game 7.

So as the Nuggets led the Dallas Mavericks with a big score of 2:0, the voices of these experts were obviously much smaller.

Although some experts stubbornly stated that the Mavericks will definitely rebound in the future, most experts have begun to change their identities and plan to show up in another place and continue to start cheating.

On the other hand, the Celtics and the Magic are of course not to mention, and this group of duels is extremely hot.

Even though the Celtics currently tied the total score to 2:0, it seems that there is an unlimited possibility of promotion, in these three games, no matter whether it wins or loses, the Celtics can't play easily.

Even these three short games almost cost the Celtics their lives.

And when Rivers saw the current comments from the outside world about this round of the series, he was so angry that he wanted to slap him in both mouths.

"Fuck, the Celtics played extremely easily? They must be able to advance? You want to be fucked! Don't be toxic!"

As for the other group of matches in the Eastern Conference semifinals, it was also very relaxed. Even the relaxation level was so easy that Rivers' gums were itchy, and he wanted to tear the Cavaliers apart.

In the Eastern Conference semi-finals, the Cavaliers are currently leading the Hawks with a total score of 2:0.

And in these two games, the Cavaliers defeated the Hawks through big wins, and the situation was completely one-sided.

After all, although the Hawks also have players with great strength this season, Johnson, Josh Smith and Mike Bibby.

However, judging from the overall strength of the team, there is still a big gap with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

No matter what, it is not as simple as luck that the Cavaliers can reach the top spot in the East.

This season, the Cavaliers not only have league super giant LeBron James, but also All-Star player Mo Williams and former All-Star player Ilgoskas.

In addition to the other shooters that the team has matched with James as the core, this has also made the Cavaliers make a thriving season, breaking the team's own best record in team history in one fell swoop.

So in this matchup with the Hawks, in addition to being able to advance stably, the Cavaliers even have a great chance of being able to defeat their opponents 4:0.

This situation also leads to the fact that in the series between the Magic and the Celtics, no matter who can win by chance in the two teams, it will definitely be a serious injury.

So judging from the current situation in the Eastern Conference, no matter what the trend of the playoffs will be in the future.

Only those who avoided the Celtics and the Magic team will be the brightest-smiling party in the Eastern Conference Finals...
