Nba: The Opening Sign To The Finals Tiebreaker

Chapter 267

USA, Houston, Toyota Center.

The Houston Rockets, who have experienced a two-game losing streak in the series, are back at home and will start a G3 contest with the Los Angeles Clippers.

In the first two games, the Rockets lost to their opponents by a big score, especially in the last game, they lost by more than 30 points.

This is a huge blow to the momentum of the team.

Tonight, the Rockets returning home must give it a go. If they lose this game again, they will almost be eliminated.

Because in the history of the NBA, no team has ever been able to complete a reversal after falling behind 0:3 in the playoffs.

The entire Toyota Center was packed, but embarrassingly, not all Rockets fans were present.

Looking around, in the entire auditorium, more than one in four "907" fans are wearing Zhou Yuan's jersey.

There are so many fans of Zhou Yuan at the home court of the Rockets, which is enough to explain Zhou Yuan's influence, and of course it also reflects how broken the Rockets are now.

In fact, quite a few of these fans wearing Zhou Yuan's jersey are fans of the Rockets. They chose to wear Zhou Yuan's jersey only because they were too disappointed with the performance of the Rockets.

After a while, players from both sides came out to warm up before the match.

The Rockets players who returned home didn't seem too excited, and their faces were still a little dignified.

Losing two consecutive games by a big score has caused a lot of psychological pressure on the players.

Even in their subconscious, they think that the Clippers are stronger than them.

In addition to such psychological pressure, part of the pressure comes from the fans at the scene.

Since these fans came to the scene, of course they want to see them win the game. The fans' expectations of them put more pressure on the Rockets players.

Especially James Harden, as the leader of the team, his performance in the first two games was a disaster.

Even fainted on the spot after the last game, which led many people to think that he had a physical problem.

For this matter, James Harden has never explained it, so he can't tell the truth of the matter, right?

It would be too embarrassing to say that she was jealous because of Kohler Kardashian and was fainted by Zhou Yuan's anger.

So he can only choose to remain silent. As for what those fans want to say, he doesn't care anymore.

And what he has to do now is to play this game as well as possible and help the team win, which can be regarded as a kind of salvation for himself.

A few minutes later, the pre-match warm-up ended and the game officially started.

The morale of the Los Angeles Clippers, which has won two consecutive victories in the series, is high, and they played full aggressiveness from the beginning of the game.

The Rockets are a bit difficult to parry, although James Harden really wants to lead the team to win, but his teammates are really not strong.

Whether it is inside or outside, the offensive efficiency is very low.

Even the 'Cake Emperor' collapsed, and I couldn't eat the 'cake' that was fed to my mouth.

Throughout the first quarter of the game, it relied on James Harden to support him.

Entering the second quarter of the game, the Rockets still haven't made much progress, while the Clippers are showing a trend of multi-point blooming, constantly tearing the Rockets' defense on the court.

In the auditorium, the Rockets fans were silent, while the quarter of the fans wearing Zhou Yuan's jersey were all shouting loudly.

The Los Angeles Clippers, who played away, played the feeling of home again. This is not the first time they have done it.

After the first half of the game, the Los Angeles Clippers in the away game have opened the point difference to 20+, and the game has almost entered garbage time.

After the start of the second half, the Rockets had no fighting spirit, and the situation on the field became completely one-sided.

Finally, the game ended and the score was fixed.

112:91

The Los Angeles Clippers in the away game won another 20+ victory, and the series score came to 3:0.

Zhou Yuan continued to maintain an efficient performance in this game, scoring a triple-double of 57 points, 25 rebounds, and 13 assists, and continued to refresh his own record of 50+ triple-doubles in the playoffs.

For the Rockets, star James Harden's performance has recovered, scoring 22 points and 7 assists, but it is still difficult to lead the team to victory.

"It's such a disappointment for the Houston Rockets to lose three games in a row without the Clippers without Chris Paul."

"The weak playoffs seem to have become a label that James Harden can't erase."

"I now seriously doubt whether James Harden is a star.0"

The two commentators on the scene made some complaints about James Harden's performance in this round of the series.

Meanwhile, a rehab center in Los Angeles.

When Chris Paul saw the team win the game, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

The Clippers won this game, which means that one foot has stepped into the floor of the Western Conference Finals. It seems that it is only a matter of time before they advance.

Paul's heart is extremely excited, this may be the first time in his career to reach the division finals.

He can't wait to fly to Houston right now to celebrate with Zhou Yuan and others.

His gaze was only locked on the screen, looking at his teammates who were celebrating on the field after the game, and Zhou Yuan who was surrounded by everyone.

Paul's eyes were slightly moist, and he said silently in his heart: "Thank you, Zhou Yuan!"

Time flies, two days later, the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers series G4 officially started!

It is still at the home court of the Rockets, and the auditorium tonight is still full.

But what is surprising is that there are very few fans wearing Rockets jerseys at the scene, and 70% of the fans are wearing Zhou Yuan's jerseys.

If the LOGO in the center of the court is replaced by the Clippers, many people will think that this is the Staples Center in Los Angeles!

After the players from both sides played, the Rockets players saw the scene in the auditorium, and they were in a trance. Is this really their home field at 4.9?

Everyone felt extremely humiliated immediately, but such a scene aroused their fighting spirit.

This is the fourth game in the series, and it is likely to be the last game.

The Rockets players want to defend their dignity at home and try to win the next game.

In this way, even if they are eliminated, they will not be swept away.

Before the start of the game, the head coaches of both sides accepted the former interview.

Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni said: "We have now reached a very bad situation. Everyone knows what a big score of 3 to 0 means."

"But what I want to say is that even if there is only a theoretical opportunity, we will not pass it up.

Clippers coach Doc Rivers said: "I'm pretty sure this is the last game of the series, and we'll end the game here!"
