On April 22, the Clippers will also wait for the Thunder to come to the door for the second time at home. Of course, they cannot be too proud. After all, they have lost to the Thunder once in the regular season, so they should be careful of capsizing in the gutter.

The Rockets lost to the Trail Blazers yesterday, and old Dunleavy was still very happy. Although domestic fans hope that the Rockets will advance to the first round and make Yao Ming pass through the first round, it is best to play to the finals. However, the Clippers' opponent in the semi-finals is one of the two teams, the Trail Blazers and the Rockets. Compared with the difficult Rockets, the Clippers certainly hope to meet the Trail Blazers who were killed by them four times. The latter has been knocked out by them. When they face the Trail Blazers, the Clippers are equivalent to directly receiving a ticket to the Western Conference Finals. However, it is much more troublesome to face the Rockets. The Rockets are not easy to deal with, but it is harder than the Trail Blazers anyway.

In the first game of the first round of the playoffs, Durant felt extremely poorly under the repeated defenses of Garcia and Barnes. At the beginning of this game, the Thunder obviously changed. In the first quarter, they used Artest's strong attack to score points, and at the same time hoped that the beast would cause damage to the Clippers' back line. This move was called siege Wei to save Zhao.

After the opening of the game today, the Clippers mainly played Ji Guomeng. Before halfway through the first quarter, the Fox brother's personal score reached 6 points, and also assisted the Panda brother to complete a wonderful aerial relay. Afterwards, Durant and Ji Guomeng launched an attack and scored each other. However, the Clippers' powerful inside and point guard gave the Fox greater support, and the Clippers quickly expanded their lead to 5 points.

In the first quarter, Durant scored an astonishing 14 points, and his personal score exceeded Ji Guomo's 12 points. But the Thunder fell into an embarrassing situation, that is, they rarely stage collective explosions in the whole team, and it is difficult to make a wave of team attacks**. If the Thunder scores continuously, the remaining four players will automatically enter the play mode. This phenomenon is the fact that the technical and tactical ability is poor in the final analysis. Everyone does not know how to run to create gaps. In addition, the team's main point guard organization lacks ability. Sometimes even if the teammates run out of the opportunity, Westbrook only has the basket in his eyes. So at the end of the first quarter, the Clippers expanded their lead to 26-20, and the Thunder basically no one scored except Durant.

In the second quarter, Ji Guomo was not in a hurry to attack, and only made a shot once in this quarter. The Clippers began to play collectively, and the Panda brother was in the center, and his teammates ran around their lighthouse. The entire Clippers team made a pleasing offensive cooperation, continued to maintain their leading advantage, and expanded the lead gap.

The Thunders were powerless in the face of the Clippers' style of play. Sometimes they couldn't even find where the basketball was, and they couldn't understand why the Clippers players got the ball into the basket in just a few steps. With two minutes left in this quarter, Panda brother made a three-pointer at the top of the arc. The Clippers led by a full 22 points 68-46.

Durant also knew that the gap between the two teams was too big, so he broke the can and threw the ball. He shot three-pointers from the outside in a row, and the result was a good touch. One man scored 7 points in the last two minutes. Before the Thunder midfield ended, he scored 72-55.

In the third quarter, the Thunder continued to launch an outside attack, hoping to win a game with luck. Westbrook also broke through with his life. The Thunder relied on his reckless actions to score a 10:3, chasing the score difference to only 10 points.

However, the Clippers were not in a hurry. Brother Panda attacked in the interior in a row, scoring two goals and two assists, and one person killed the Thunder's weak inside line, widening the score difference to 15 points again. Later, even the little fox ran to the inside to show off his might and used his third-rate hook to make the Thunder in a mess.

At the end of the third quarter, the Clippers led the Thunder again by 20 points.

The Clippers entered the last quarter with a 20-point advantage. The victory was already pocketed by them. The Thunder showed their tenacity and narrowed the gap to about 15 points several times in the fourth quarter. With three minutes left in the game, Artest made a layup and scored 5 points in a row. The Thunder was only 11 points behind 121-110.

Old Dunleavy was very dissatisfied and called for a timeout to squirt the other Clippers players outside the Animal Brothers. Today they had nothing to say on the offensive end. The two brothers performed well enough, but they were a little too coping on the defensive end, and they actually got the Thunder to score 110+. This is something that shouldn't have happened in Old Dunleavy's eyes.

The Clippers player was scolded by Dunleavy, and after returning to the court, he strengthened his defense. Crawford and Garcia actually teamed up to steal Durant, and then quickly launched a fast break. In the end, Yuki Guomeng made a layup. The Clippers completely defeated the Thunder's hope of a comeback. Since then, the Thunder players missed continuously. Ji Guomeng hit a three-pointer again with one minute left in the game. The Clippers led by 16 points 128-112.

Coach Brooks knew that the game was over, so he had no choice but to replace all the main players again and announced his surrender for the second time.

At the end of the game, the score was 130:115. The Clippers scored 130 points in the second game of the playoffs, showing amazing attacking ability, and also showing how poor the Thunder's defense is.

For the Clippers, Ji Guochou scored 23 points, 20 rebounds, 12 assists and 6 blocks, and an oversized triple-double. Ji Guomomi scored 35 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 blocks. The two brothers joined forces to give the Thunder 11 blocks, slamming the pitiful inside line of the Thunder. Other Clippers players, Billups scored 19 points and 7 assists, and Crawford scored 20 points.

In the Thunder, Durant scored the team's highest 36 points, with 6 rebounds and 3 assists, Artest scored 22 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, Green scored 20 points and 8 rebounds, Westbrook scored 14 points and 5 assists, and Kukoc scored 12 points and 7 rebounds.

After the game, Ji Guomo was too lazy to release his mouth gun skills to affect his opponents this time. It was difficult for the Thunder to cause trouble for them. The little fox was just short of saying: "I am already considering the opponent in the second round." Fortunately, he knew that this was the most harmful to his character, and many stars died in this sentence, so he seemed very quiet after the game.

Ji Guoqiu gave the Thunder some face, and he said: "I think Artest and Durant have a strong impact, and Kukochi's skills are very good. If they reduce their mistakes and strengthen their defense, we won't be too easy on the away game in the next game."

After the Clippers' match, the battle between bulls and horses began.

Duncan scored 25 points and 15 rebounds in this game and double-double. Parker's breakthrough made the Mavericks' defense defeat, and the Spurs defeated the Mavericks at home to win a game. Although Nowitzki scored 24 points. Terry also scored a higher 27 points. However, under the suppression of Duncan's 25 points and 15 rebounds, the Mavericks still lost to the Spurs away with a score of 95-102, and the total score of both sides was tied to 1:1.

Duncan scored a big double-double with 25 points and 15 rebounds today. In addition to Shifo, Parker scored 27 points and 10 assists, Ginobili scored 20 points and 4 assists, Jamison also scored 20 points and 10 rebounds, and the four giants jointly contributed 91 points.

On the Mavericks, Nowitzki scored 24 points and 10 rebounds in the game. Terry contributed a higher 27 points on the bench, and Howard scored 17 points, but only these three of the Mavericks scored in double digits. Kidd scored 9 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists was another weird quasi-triple double stat.

After the 22nd game, the first two games of the East and West first round have ended. In the West, the Lakers 2:0 Hornets, Rockets 1:1 Trail Blazers, Clippers 2:0 Thunder, Spurs 1:1 Mavericks. In the East, the Cleveland Cavaliers 1:1 Chicago Bulls. Boston Celtics 1:1 New York Knicks, Orlando Magic 1:1 Philadelphia 76ers. Atlanta Hawks 1:1 Miami Heat.

The top four teams in the Western Conference, except for the Trail Blazers and Rockets, all led their opponents 2:0. However, the Eastern Conference scored 1:1, which shows that the gap between the Eastern Conference teams is not big. Although the Cavaliers did not win all home games, fortunately they did not fall behind 0:2.

On April 24, all teams will switch home courts. Whether they can defeat the strong by weak depends on this round.

First of all, the Lakers vs. Hornets.

The Hornets returned to New Orleans. After losing the first two games, they placed their hopes at home. After the opening, the Hornets were indeed even more desperate, fighting fiercely for every rebound. After playing for nearly 4 minutes, the Lakers made their first shot.

Bynum finally scored a good goal today, he had the upper hand against Chandler for the first time at the basket and controlled the rebounds after the opening, with the Hornets taking the lead in the first quarter rebounds with a 20:11 lead.

Kobe lost all four shots in the first quarter, but did not score a single point. Gasol was also lost in New Orleans. Chandler also performed poorly in front of home fans. The Lakers only rely on Byron and Davis to support the situation. With 5 minutes left in the second quarter, Kobe made a breakthrough and made a layup, scoring in the sports game for the first time. After scoring, Kobe gradually found his feelings and quickly went to the free throw line to score in a row, scoring 4 points in a row, assisting Chandler in the air relay. The Lakers scored a 6:0 wave, chasing the score gap to only 3 points. Chris Paul quickly returned to the color and led the team to a 9:2 wave and regained the advantage. In the first half, the Hornets led 42:38.

The situation suddenly changed in the second half. The Lakers strengthened their offense, and the Hornets suddenly became unable to play. Not only did they miss the ball, but they also made multiple passes and made mistakes. The game returned to the first two games. Kobe scored three-pointers at the beginning of the third quarter, and Byron Davis also frequently fired from the outside. The Lakers started the quarter with a 24:10 attack wave, gaining a very strong lead in one fell swoop.

The Hornets lost a good situation. The Lakers overtook this quarter and led 68:60 to the last quarter. The Lakers' shooting percentage was only 25% in the first quarter, but reached 58% in this quarter.

The Lakers did not dare to be careless and allowed Kobe to play at the beginning of the fourth quarter. However, the Hornets also tried their best. Paul made continuous breakthroughs, and the Hornets started the last quarter with a 16:4 wave, surpassing the score in one fell swoop. The two teams began to fall into fierce battles, and then they tied several times. Until 47 seconds left in the game, David West made a layup and the Hornets led 83:81. Then Kobe made a strong move, and a picturesque backward jump shot equalized the score, but Bynum immediately received Paul's assist and dunked. The Hornets exceeded 85:83 with 16.9 seconds left in the game.

After the Lakers were suspended, Gasol made a strong fight, and the two sides drew again. The Hornets still have 11.7 seconds of offensive time.

Mageti, who performed in modestly throughout the game, showed his power at the last moment. With 2.2 seconds left in the game, he dribbled the ball and passed Odom who was distracted again. He made a mid-range shot by a quick stop and made a mid-range shot, and also caused a defensive foul by the Lama, and got a chance to get a penalty. Mageti made a penalty, and the Hornets exceeded it again.

In the last 2.2 seconds, the Lakers failed to create a miracle. Kobe missed a long shot at the last moment, and the Lakers lost regretfully.

The Lakers came to New Orleans and lost their first away game. On the other side, the Rockets played against the Trail Blazers at home. Today, the Houston Toyota Center was crowded with people, colorful flags were flying, and the "Red Devils cheering team" were full of passion. This was the Rockets' first home game this season's playoffs. In the first two games, the Rockets tied 1-1 with the Trail Blazers. The Rockets gained a home advantage. When they returned to the home court, they could not lose.

Adelman used David Lee as the starting lineup today. This young inside player from New York is even better in defense against Aldridge. The Rockets' change of lineup hopes to have an impact on the Trail Blazers. However, Yao Ming did not partner with David Lee for long today. The Little Giants made all the first four shots in the first quarter, and it seemed that they were back to the first game against the sky. The Rockets were able to lead the Trail Blazers 26:18 in the first quarter.

However, the situation suddenly changed in the second quarter. The referee called Yao Ming two bizarre fouls. The Little Giants had to go off the court for less than two minutes in the second quarter. However, the combination of David Lee and Scola also performed well. The Rockets had obvious advantages in the interior. In addition to David Lee, they also had the world's number one elbow who could shake their fingers - African Mountains can be used. After Yao Ming got off the court, the Rockets still defeated the Trail Blazers in the second quarter, and at the end of the half, he led the Trail Blazers by 14 points.

Shortly after the start of the third quarter, the Rockets gained a 17-point advantage, but less than half of the quarter, Yao Ming and David Li were both called for a fourth foul and had to rest. After the Trail Blazers scored 7 points in a row, they scored a score of 55:64. The Rockets failed to score a point within 3 minutes, and Bathier made a three-pointer but failed to stop the Trail Blazers' offensive. Roy made three consecutive dunks and scored a score of 61:67.

Marbury scored only 3 points in the first half, and he did not make another shot until 3 minutes and 15 seconds left in the third quarter. After that, he broke through and made a layup twice. The Rockets finally survived the crisis under the leadership of the sudden lone wolf.

Yao Ming scored 10 points in the first quarter, but failed to score in the second and third quarters. He still failed to find a way to get rid of the foul crisis. In the fourth quarter, he still did not find a chance to score, and the Trail Blazers began to counterattack. With 5 minutes left in the game, Blake made a three-pointer in a fast break, and the Trail Blazers were only 4 points behind with 89:85.

At the critical moment, Bathir stepped forward again. The Rockets captain also scored a three-pointer to stabilize the Rockets' position. Then Marbury and David Lee staged an aerial relay. Ariza successfully scored a three-pointer. The Rockets' generals scored a wave of **, laying the final victory and loss at the last moment. The final score was 103:97, and the Rockets continued their tradition of scoring over 100% win rate.

Today, Yao Ming was once again in a foul crisis. He only played for 26 minutes in total, made 6 of 8 shots, made 4 free throws, and scored only 16 points, 11 rebounds, 3 blocks and 5 fouls. Marbury became the number one hero, scoring 20 points and 12 assists, of which 17 points were scored in the second half. Scola scored 19 points and 9 rebounds, Bathir made two key three-pointers, scoring 13 points, David Lee scored 12 points and 10 rebounds, Ariza scored 13 points, and Brooks scored 10 points.
