NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

The Suns first filed a complaint about the fight, followed by Sam Hinkie from the Rockets.

The NBA reduced the suspensions of Amundsen and Ibaka by one game, and the incident was finally resolved.

The first match of the other semifinal in the West also ended. As expected, the Lakers defeated the Mavericks 112-104 at their home Staples Center.

‘Black Mamba’ Kobe Bryant played 37 minutes and scored 33 points with 13 of 20 shots.

Gasol scored a big double-double of 26 points and 12 rebounds, and ‘Old Fish’ Fisher played 40 minutes and scored 10 points, but his 6 steals shone throughout the game.

‘German Tank’ Nowitzki and Caron Butler scored a combined 60 points but still lost on the road.

The top two teams in the West all won their first games.

In the only tie-break in the Eastern Conference, the Atlanta Hawks were still better, beating the Milwaukee Bucks 97-75 at home to enter the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Another Eastern Conference semifinal has already been played, with the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have the "little emperor" LeBron James, facing the Celtics' aging Big Three at home.

The two teams were evenly matched in the first three quarters. In the fourth quarter, LeBron James turned on the full-strength James mode, scoring 12 points in a single quarter to lead the team to a good start.

LeBron James played 43 minutes in the game, scoring 38 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 blocks and 3 steals.

David West scored 19 points and 13 rebounds to become the most reliable helper around James.

The Celtics' Big Three also performed well under the guidance of Rondo. Garnett scored 19 points, Pierce had a cold hand and scored 13 points with 5 of 17 shots, and Gentleman Ray scored 14 points with 6 of 14 shots.

Coach Long's 26 points and 13 assists were powerless to turn the tide. The Celtics lost to the Cavaliers 95-107 away, and the score was temporarily behind.

......

At 7:30 p.m. on May 4, the second game of the Western Conference semifinals between the Houston Rockets and the Phoenix Suns was held at the Dynasty Center.

The Suns opened the game with a strong offensive, and they had the momentum to turn the tables. Richardson had a hot hand at the beginning, scoring three consecutive three-pointers and layups, and directly beat the Rockets 5-0.

The Rockets' Harden, who recovered from his shock, used a breakthrough European step to score a layup.

The league has not found a way to deal with players like Harden, which makes Harden's double step-back and foul-making skills in the playoffs somewhat unpredictable.

This is the case with the Spurs and the Suns.

After a short slump at the beginning, the Rockets began to find their feeling with the cheers of the home fans.

After the first substitution, Harden turned on the "master of feeding" mode. Yao Ming received Harden's wonderful passes and finished the game. A-Lin also received an assist from Beard on the outside and scored a three-pointer.

The Rockets took the opportunity to hit a small climax and ended the first quarter with a 27-23 lead of four points.

The two teams increased their defensive intensity again tonight. Gentry had few players to use, and two important substitutes could not play and could only beat the main players.

Stoudemire played the whole first quarter. Fortunately, Nash had a rotation with Dragic, which made it easier, but he also played for 9 minutes.

Nash returned to the court at the beginning of the second quarter, and Tang Yu's Rockets carried out regular rotations step by step.

The physical confrontation between the two sides in the second quarter was more intense. Stoudemire had friction with the Rockets' players defending him many times and kept complaining to the referee.

But this is the playoffs, and no one will care about this kind of small confrontation. Stoudemire can only bear it silently.

Tonight, Stoudemire was extremely depressed in the interior, which was also the reason for his dissatisfaction. The Rockets' Jordan and Yao Ming's rotation defense on him made him very uncomfortable. Although he scored 7 points in the first quarter, he also made 2 turnovers.

In the second and third quarters, the Suns were able to keep up with the Rockets' rhythm and kept the score in single digits.

However, not long after the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Rockets replaced the five-small lineup and came up with a fast-play whirlwind.

Alian took the center position and led Battier, Carter, Curry and Harden to a 18-4 consecutive scoring climax.

Gentry called two timeouts but failed to save the situation. The Rockets widened the score difference to 22 points.

At 3 minutes and 22 seconds in the fourth quarter, the Suns saw that the situation was over and could only replace the substitute players to admit defeat.

The Rockets also replaced all the main players, and the players starting with Tang Yu celebrated with high fives.

In the end, the G2 game between the Rockets and the Suns ended.

The Houston Rockets once again ruthlessly shot down the Suns with 109-90 at the Dynasty Center!

The Rockets' original Big Three combined for 71 points, with Yao Ming scoring a double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds, and also blocking three shots.

James Harden scored 21 points, 13 assists and two steals for a stable double-double output.Stephen Curry had 34 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals, and his performance was very comprehensive. Curry made 7 of 12 three-pointers, the same as the entire Suns team.

It seems that Curry is ready to do a big job with the help of Tang Yu.

The Houston Rockets will go to the Phoenix Suns' home court, the American West Arena, on May 8 for the third Western Conference semifinal match between the two sides with a 2-0 lead.

Tang Yu joked with the three Chinese players after the game.

"Do you think the Suns' home court is unlucky?" Tang Yu said mysteriously.

Dayao and the other two were stunned, thinking that something big had happened in the Suns' arena.

A Lian asked: "Coach Tang, I'm a coward, you can scare me."

"Haha, I'm not talking about that unlucky thing, I'm talking about the name of this arena."

"What's wrong with the name?" asked the Great Sage Sun Yue.

"America West Arena, no chance arena, this team has no chance at all!"

The three rolled their eyes at the same time, the meaning couldn't be more obvious, so cold and embarrassing!

"I say coach, you are too cold!" Dayao sighed helplessly.

Tang Yu sighed to the sky, "Ah! Young people nowadays don't understand humor! Boring, extremely boring!"

Tang Yu complained in an old-fashioned way, which made the three speechless. The 29-year-old Tang Yu is only as old as Dayao, okay!

Sun Dasheng, wearing a casual outfit, suddenly looked at Tang Yu seriously, and Tang Yu was also stunned by the look.

"If you have something to say, just say it, why are you doing this scary thing!" Tang Yu is a smart man, and he can more or less guess what Sun Yue means.

"Coach, I want to become stronger!"

This sentence is very powerful, and Sun Dasheng said it very firmly.

"Your talent is not as high as Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. It is very difficult to gain a foothold in this league. If you want to stay here for a long time, you have to work harder than others."

"I know coach, I hope you can get your guidance. I want to play, I hate watching my teammates play in casual clothes!" Dasheng said with great determination.

Tang Yu nodded. He was willing to cultivate players like Sun Yue who wanted to improve themselves, but his talent was really limited. It depends on whether he can break through his limits.

"Okay, you stay here after the season. I will make a training plan for you. You asked for it yourself!"

"Thank you coach, I will definitely not let you down!"
