That night, the Clippers returned to the other side of Los Angeles overnight, and the results of the game between the Hornets and the Suns also came out. The New Orleans people beat the Phoenix Suns at their own home.
Although the Hornets were inexperienced, they managed to make a comeback after falling behind double digits at half-time.
Chris Paul, who played the playoffs for the first time, was the biggest contributor to the team’s victory. He scored 24 points, contributed 35 points, 1 assist and 4 steals at halftime. David West scored 23 points and rebounds. Peja Stojakovic scored 14 points, Tai Sen Chandler scored 1 point and 15 rebounds.
The Suns collapsed in Paul’s attack. Stoudemire scored 24 points, 1 rebound, Steve Nash scored 2 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist. Shaquille O ‘Neal scored 12 points and 14 rebounds, but the substitutes for the Suns were mediocre. Barbossa made 7 shots and ate duck eggs. Dior played normally and scored 11 points and 5 rebounds.
The Phoenix people are not at a disadvantage at halftime. After all, they are experienced in the playoffs and enter the state quickly. The Hornets are in the playoffs for the first time in four years, and Paul and others are playing the playoffs for the first time.
The Hornets feel very bad. The players are a little nervous from the beginning, and Paul is no exception. In the first quarter, he and Tai Sen Chandler both failed in the relay. The Hornets were mediocre in the first quarter but fell behind in 1926.
In the second quarter, the Suns extended their advantage to double digits several times. With 4 minutes and 53 seconds left, Stoudemire dunked and the Suns took the lead. Then Nash and Dior hit the Suns 534 one after another in the last minute of the quarter, ending the half.
The hornets gradually adapted to this tense atmosphere at half time, and led by Queen Paul to turn the situation around.
Paul blasted Steve Nash in the third quarter and scored 15 points. The Hornets beat the New Orleans people by 362 in a single quarter. Chris Paul proved to everyone in the playoffs that he was already a superstar player in the league.
The Hornets quickly narrowed the gap after the fourth quarter, and the old O’ Neill was exhausted in the last quarter. Stoudemire was caught in a foul crisis, and the Phoenix line suddenly fell. David West and Tai Sen Chandler unexpectedly defeated Stoudemire and O’ Neill, causing the Suns to hit two goals by Nash in the ninth minute of the fourth quarter. The Hornets firmly controlled the situation.
In the end, the sun was played by Paul and watched naively by the Hornets. Nash scored two three-pointers in the end and scored 11 points in the fourth quarter.
Chapter two hundred and thirteen Clippers changes
On April 21st, Utah Jazz played against Houston Rockets in the first round of the playoffs in the second round at home.
McGrady scored a game-high 23 points and had 13 rebounds and 9 assists today. Rocket No.1 missed his first triple-double in his playoff career, but that’s not the point. The point is that he scored a point in the last quarter.
Other Rockets players Bobby Jackson scored 1 point, Scola scored 14 rebounds, Battier scored 1 point, and backup point guard Brooks scored 11 points. Other benches were out of order.
The scores of the four quarters are 2617, 2124, 2226 and 2117 respectively.
In nba history 2, the backward teams made few turnovers and the Rockets were cornered.
It will be much easier for Jazz to take two home visitors to Houston.
Deron Williams scored 22 points and 5 assists, Mehmet Aucour scored 16 points, 16 rebounds, Carlos Boozer scored 13 points, and Andre kirilenko scored 3 points today.
The only good news for the Rockets now is that the Jazz are not good at playing away games. Maybe the Rockets can pull back the two cities by relying on their home advantage when they return to Houston, but overall, the Rockets have reached the edge of the cliff.
The Chinese fans are in great sorrow. The situation of their two home teams, the Rockets and the Clippers, is extremely bad now. Maybe it is because the two brothers can go home together to fish.
On the same day, the Clippers’ bitter rivals in the same city also played the second game of the first round with the Dallas Mavericks.
The Lakers won the first game by relying on the excellent performance of Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant. Today, they continue to sit at home and strive to expand their lead. The Mavericks resisted the Lakers’ attack in the first game, and there were many problems in their defense. Today, they continued to be guests at Staples and they tried to win back a city.
Pau Gasol scored 36 points and 16 rebounds in the first game, and became the dominant player. After the game, the Dallas Morning Post expressed disappointment with the performance of the Mavericks. It wrote that if Gasol could not be stopped, the Mavericks would go home before.
Some Dallas media even angered Kidd for slacking, saying that if you want to win, you must strengthen your attack. Mr. 20 million can’t score in single digits every game.
Dallas media attacked Kidd for no reason. After losing the first game, Nowitzki thought Kidd had taken all his assists, while Kidd thought that his rebounds had been taken away by Nowitzki …
Kidd is still teasing Nowitzki after winning his first triple-double in the regular season. "What makes me satisfied is that Dirk won a triple-double once and I have two more than him."
It was teammates who joked with each other, but everyone didn’t expect the Mavericks to be in the playoffs. This teasing seems to have changed.
The media were not optimistic about the Mavericks’ second game. On the contrary, the Mavericks played less than half-time in today’s game and did a good job of colored defense, especially Kidd’s position on Scheer and Kobe Bryant, which is why they were 12 points ahead of the Lakers at halftime.
But Phil Jackson changed his tactics at half-time to make their No.24 superstar more aggressive. At this time, Bryant really broke out and scored 16 points in a single quarter and sent four assists to help the team gain a 4-point lead at the end of the third quarter.
In the end, the chartered plane came to the scene to watch the game. Cuban looked lost. The Los Angeles Lakers expanded their lead at home and let the Dallas people swallow the bitter fruit again. At this moment, China Sangao is not alone in the fishing list
Kobe Bryant not only contributed a double-double today, but also scored 19 points in the last quarter and scored 35 points at half-time to help the Lakers beat the Dallas Mavericks at home on 12219. The Lakers won 2 leads in the first round of the playoffs and the third game will be moved to Dallas.
Lakers Kobe Bryant got 4 points, 1 assist and 4 rebounds, Gasol got 1 point, 1 rebound, Walton got 1 point, Schell got 1 point, Yujasic got 9 points, Bynum got 6 rebounds, Odom was troubled by foul trouble, and he got 4 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds.
Mavericks Nowitzki scored 31 points and 1 rebound, Jason Kidd scored 1 point and 1 rebound and assisted Josh Howard 23 points and 6 rebounds, Jason Terry 21 points, Bass 15 points and Dampier 6 points and 11 rebounds.
In the East, Celtics 2: Leading Atlanta Hawks. In the eyes of the media, the eagle’s exit is a foregone conclusion. The Green Shirts won 2 points in two games. In the second game, the eagle’s score was limited to 77 points, which made Atlanta fans lose hope. Even if they returned to home, they could fill such a huge strength gap.
Detroit Pistons Same 2: Leading City 76ers Elton Brand joined the team, but the strength of Motor City did not drop, but rose. Like the Green Shirts, they beat their opponents at home.
Many experts in the media can’t wait to jump out. They conclude that there will be many sweeping events in the east and west this year.
On April 22nd, the first round and the second leg will continue. Today, the Los Angeles Clippers will play the San Antonio Spurs again on the road, and the Phoenix Suns will also play the New Orleans Hornets on the road.
"We lost to ourselves the day before yesterday, and we let them win a victory." Ji Guoshi still refused to admit defeat easily at the press conference in the second game. In the first game, he was more aggressive in defense because of the foul on his back.
The twin brother also took a look. Before the first game, he was still talking about being careful to avoid falling into the foul crisis. As a result, his words were unfortunately fulfilled in the game. Brother Panda was also punished by six fouls in the last two minutes of the game. The trouble of the two of them falling into the foul was the main factor for the Clippers to lose in the first game.
Ji Guoshi shouted before the game, "One game is our first playoff game. They won’t succeed in this game again. We will definitely win in the away game. That despicable old man will wash his neck and wait for me!"
In the first game, Duncan had a sneak attack on Ji Guo’s shame and chrysanthemum foul, but he was not punished. Of course, he protested to the league after the Clippers game, but in the end, the evidence was insufficient and he dismissed it.
