The Rockets beat the Nuggets twice at home!

The two big victories that combined with more than 50 points completely destroyed the psychological defense of the Nuggets.

Then the two teams moved to Denver, and in the cheers of the home fans, the Nuggets also failed to play with momentum, and on April 29, 104-90, the Rockets went to the next city.

After 3:0, the game is unique in the history of the playoffs, and in the fourth game of the series, the Nuggets are determined to fight for honor.

On May 2, the Nuggets completely let go of their burdens and let themselves go, and scored 62 points in this battle, but the team still lost to the Rockets by 3 points.

92-89, the Rockets did not show the slightest mercy to the home team and ruthlessly swept the Nuggets out of the game.

After the game, Iverson hugged Wu Hang very friendly, and said a lot of words to appreciate him and hope that he would go to the end, but Wu Hang didn't listen carefully, anyway, there was no "The future is yours".

The Rockets passed easily, and the Nuggets were left with nothing but disappointment in the playoffs.

In the post-match press conference, George Carr admitted that the difference in quality between the two sides was too great.

"The Rockets are a super strong team right now, they are impeccable defensively, their players are very strong in individual defense, and they will change their tricks to supplement and help defend. Our offensive was restrained. Plus, the Rockets' offense couldn't be stopped. They have three stars who are very individual and we can't do anything about it, so hopefully they can go to the end and good luck to them. "

Adelman, on the other hand, was calm.

The Denver reporter asked, "Coach Rick, the Rockets have advanced to the second round for the second time since '97, how do you feel?"

Adelman smiled confidently: "We are relatively strong, so we won, and that's it." As for the first round of spells, there's not much to say about that topic. The only goal for the Rockets now is to win the championship, and every game is a small obstacle on the way to winning the championship, and we will try to win every game. "

The reporters also interviewed Yao Ming, who was the happiest person on the scene. This match was a major breakthrough in Yao Ming's career. Not only did he put up some good numbers this season, but he also tasted the sweetness of reaching the second round of the playoffs for the first time.

Yao Ming smiled: "It's a good series, it's great. In the regular season, our players already know how to win. It's a big step in my career for me and I hope the team can go further. "

The reporter interviewed another meritorious hero, Wu Hang. Woods averaged 36.4 minutes per game. He scored 30.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 8.2 assists, shooting 57% from the field and 42% from three-point range, which is much better than the regular season statistics.

When talking about the reason for the victory, Wu Hang said that it was mainly because of the team's strong execution.

"We were very resolute in executing the game plan in the pre-match preparations, and we had a way to deal with the changes in the line-up. We were the best team, so we won the game and we were very happy to be able to knock out 4-0 because there is a big difference between a sweep and a non-sweep. "

The reporter said, "You mean the rest time, right?"

"That's right. We can now prepare more fully for the next round, which is important because, you know, every game in the playoffs is a tough game. "

The reporter said: "What do you think are the chances of the Rockets winning the second round?"

"We will definitely win, no matter what team we meet, we are not afraid of any opponent!" Unlike the modest Yao Ming, Wu Hang said dryly.

The Eastern Conference was almost entirely one-sided.

Magic swept 76ers. Dwight Howard scored 21 points, 12 rebounds and 2.4 blocks in the series, and single-handedly blew up the 76ers' interior.

The Cavaliers vs Wizards, who were predicted to have a hard fight before the game, were also one-sided. LeBron James played well, averaging 31.2 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists per game to lead the Cavaliers to a 4-0 sweep of the Wizards.

The Celtics unexpectedly played the Pacers 2-2, and the next game will be played at the Celtics' home court.

In addition to the early promotion of the Rockets, the situation in the West is much more complicated.

The Spurs are, after all, a team with championship credentials, and they won three games in a row after trailing the Jazz 1-0.

The Suns defeated the Hornets in Game 4 and also took a 3-1 lead in the overall score. The Hornets' David West has been out of whack and is struggling to rely on Paul alone.

The most intense are the Lakers and Mavericks. The Lakers won two games at home, and the tenacious Mavericks returned home to win two games in a row. The aggregate score was tied at 2-2.

On May 4, the Celtics defeated the Pacers 89-87 to give them a 3-2 overall lead.

The Jazz pulled themselves back from the precipice with a 106-98 home win over the Spurs in Salt Lake City.

In this series, Deron Williams averaged 18.6 points, 10.8 assists and 2 steals per game, which was greater than his average in the regular season and not inferior to Nash. As a result, DeLong has attracted the attention of experts and is considered a future superstar.

The Suns and Hornets were a winner. 127-114, the Suns advanced to the second round 4-1.

The Lakers defeated the Mavericks 114-97 at home and won the crucial "Battle of Tianwang Mountain"!

The allusion to "Mt. Tenno" comes from the Warring States period of Japan, when Akechi Mitsuhide fought a decisive battle with Hashiba Hideyoshi after the change of Honnoji. Mt. Tennoyama is a very important vantage point, and it is said that whoever can climb it first will win, which sounds like a monkey's war.

As a result, Hideyoshi's monkey army preemptively climbed Mt. Tenno, and Akechi Mitsuhide committed suicide in defeat.

The NBA playoffs are a best-of-seven knockout tournament, and if the two teams are tied 2-2 in the first four games, then the fifth game is called the "Battle of Kings Mountain", and history shows that 80% of the teams that win the fifth game win the entire series.

On May 7, the Celtics defeated the Pacers 104-99 to advance to the second round.

The next day, the Spurs beat the Jazz at home and got through the game.

Just when people thought that the Lakers would also advance by the same score, the suspense returned.

When the Mavericks fell behind in the whole game, they chased 11 points in the fourth quarter with the courage of the Nuo Tianwang and dragged it into overtime. In overtime, Nuo Tianwang continued to exert his strength, scored 8 points in a row, and led the Mavericks to a successful reversal, and the total score became 3-3.
