During the break, Old Nelson analyzed the Hornets' wing disadvantages and then told the players that the position of Jamison in the third quarter was mainly played, allowing Jamison to focus on the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, it depends on the situation. If the Hornets die but do not become stiff, then let Chamberlain end them.

At the start of the second half, Chamberlain sat on the bench, the Warriors replaced Evans and Ibaka in the interior, and Jamison could also play in the interior, so that they could still maintain a high advantage.

Paul saw that Chamberlain was not present and waved his hand and attacked the inside.

The Warriors are not fools either. Seeing Paul performing this posture, they subconsciously shrink the defense line into the penalty area. As a result, they were fooled. Paul took the ball to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Peja in the free throw area. The latter got the ball and jumped to the penalty area and scored two points.

Iverson arrived at the frontcourt, and he waved to Jamison to come up to cover. Paul calmly stuck Jamison stared at Iverson. The latter broke through and Paul followed behind, but mainly cut off Iverson's passing route to Jamison.

Sure enough, as soon as Iverson passed the ball, Paul snatched the ball with a swing of his quick hand. The Hornets counterattacked, and the Warriors returned to defense. The fast break failed, so Paul planned a positional battle.

Okafor was crushed by Chamberlain for two games, and now he finally found the opportunity to leave Chamberlain, so he naturally asked for the ball from the inside.

Although Okafor is known for his defense and rebounding, he is a man who can compete with Howard for the 204th No. 1 pick, and he has two tricks on the offensive end.

Paul passed the ball in and handed it to Okafor, who wanted to use his height to bully Evans. He shook his shoulder and made several false moves of breakthroughs, but Evans was a veteran who started his defense and was unmoved at all.

In this way, Okafor could not shake Evans and could only choose to attack. He turned around and hit Evans' lower abdomen with his butt, pushing it rhythmically.

Evans smiled honestly, then stuck the other person's leg bend with his knees, carrying his back with one hand, and quietly came up on Okafor's soft flesh on his waist with the other.

Thinking about Evans' image, his bracelet muscles that are comparable to those of big book, this pinch was quite delicious. Okafor screamed directly, and the ball was trembling in his hand and was pushed out by Evans.

Ariza responded on the wing and saw the ball being cut off. He rushed up and grabbed it. Then he whistled and ran to the penalty area, rising from the ground and dunked.

Ibaka was also waiting on the side. With Chamberlain there, his closure could not be displayed. Now that Chamberlain is not there, he will show his closure skills.

Facing the basketball that Ariza raised above her head, Ibaka jumped up quickly, waved her hand, as if a cloud was covering the sky, directly covering Ariza's head. With a wave of her arm, she pressed the ball down with a loud bang.

The blocking was successful, and the Warriors got the ball this time. Iverson immediately planned a counterattack. He still chose to use Jamison's cover to break through. He passed the ball to Jamison at the last moment. The latter took the ball and turned around and went around the middle of the wing. He jumped up and made a mid-range shot.

Old Nelson is indeed a cunning coach. He arranged for Jamison to attack in the third quarter, and the Hornets were not prepared because Jamison has been very low-key since he came to the Warriors. Suddenly, the firepower was fully launched, and the Hornets were in a hurry to fight.

But after reacting, under Paul's command, the Hornets immediately stabilized their position. After the whole line was opened, Paul broke through Iverson and entered the inside and made a throwing shot.

After that, Okafor blocked Jamison's layup, and the Hornets successfully counterattacked again. Paul made a long pass in the half and passed the ball to Ariza dunk.

Relying on the score difference in the first half, the Warriors have always maintained a leading advantage, but under Paul's pursuit, this advantage has become smaller and smaller.

There are still minutes and 13 seconds left in this quarter, West was replaced, Iverson completed his mission and took a break.

After the Warriors attacked, West launched a fast break, and Paul's physical strength was a little reduced, so the defense was no longer so determined. The two of them got into the penalty area in the frontcourt, and West suddenly turned around and passed Paul.

Paul was shocked and hurriedly retreated to the dribble that disturbed West. As a result, the mad dog was accumulating strength to wait for Paul. As soon as the two approached, West hit him hard, hit Paul, knocking him down and lowering him. West took the opportunity to rush and ended with a dunk.

The referee did not blow the whistle, Paul was very angry. He rushed up to find the referee to argue and roared repeatedly: "What is this not an offensive foul? Look, look at me, he not only hit me when I was elbowed by him, but also used small moves and you didn't blow the whistle? Is this the fairness of the game?"

The referee was impatient by him and blew the whistle and gave Paul a technical foul.

The Warriors fans at the scene were happy and stood up and made strange screams, which made Paul even more angry. But in the end, Peja went up and grabbed Paul. If he continued to conflict with the referee, Paul would be sent off. And if Paul was sent off, the Hornets could directly raise the white flag and surrender.

In fact, the Hornets have played very resolutely in the last two games. They suffer from David West's injury. Otherwise, Paul played so well in the playoffs. As long as he was given a David West, he could revitalize the entire team.

With this technical foul, the Warriors made both free throws and then made another attack. After the third quarter, they still led by 770 by 7 points.

The fourth quarter starts, and the energetic Chamberlain comes on the stage again

Seeing this scene, Hornets fans were full of grief. They already had a premonition that the team would lose in the fourth quarter.

As a result, the fans underestimated the Hornets' tenacity, or in other words, they underestimated Paul's excellence, and Paul was directly whispered by the referee, which greatly stimulated his fighting spirit.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Paul stole West's ball, and he rushed all the way to the frontcourt, leading the field and making a layup.

Then, West did not believe in evil and pushed sideways. He and Paul collided with muscles. Chamberlain was impatient and took the initiative to ask for the ball.

After getting the ball, Chamberlain looked into the ring, held the ball in his hands and tied it around his lower abdomen, bent down to make a breakthrough, and seeing this, Okafor quickly retreated.

In this way, as soon as Okafor retreated, Chamberlain jumped up and waved his arm and shot.

Okafor and Landry, who came on the bench, jumped up from the wings to block Chamberlain. After Chamberlain shot casually, he quickly landed, and then pulled his feet and rushed through the blocking of the two people to the penalty area.

At this time, Okafor and Landry were both hanging in the air. When they came back to their senses, they saw Chamberlain rushing into the penalty area and jumping down the rebound, and dunked with the trend.

On the Hornets, Paul was really hard to defend. After he rushed to the frontcourt, West subconsciously retreated to cut off his passing route. As a result, Paul jumped out of the three-point line again and made another three-pointer.

After that, Chamberlain also had full firepower. He went to the frontcourt and asked for the ball at a high position again. Okafor came up to get close to the defense. Chamberlain retreated backwards, then changed direction and broke through. After taking one step, Chamberlain put away the ball, rushed to the basket with three big steps, and waved his long arm and dunked again.

With 6 minutes and 46 seconds left in this quarter, after West missed the shot, Chamberlain jumped up and successfully made up the dunk in the air.

Chamberlain's performance was not over yet. After he played singles in the penalty area and attracted Landry to double-team, he forced himself to cause the latter's foul, making two free throws.

Then, the Warriors fought a positional battle, Chamberlain made a mid-range shot, and the Warriors scored a B0 and scored an advantage with -0.

The Hornets' inside line was disrupted and forced to call twice in a minute, but they still failed to stop the Warriors' offensive. Chamberlain still wanted to take the ball, making one of two free throws, expanding the advantage to 13 points.

The game still has - Paul only scored a goal by Paul. This is their first goal in the past 4 minutes. Ariza and Peja's previous shots were blocked by Chamberlain.

With one minute left in the game, the Warriors still maintained a double-digit lead, but the Hornets refused to lose two consecutive times. Paul broke through and narrowed the gap to single digits. After that, Okafor was encouraged by Paul. Taking advantage of the opportunity that Chamberlain was led out of the inside by Paul, he succeeded in the basket and scored 9199.

But with the general trend, the Hornets had no time to chase. Then Curry caused Peja to foul outside the three-point line. He made three free throws and maintained a double-digit advantage with 1029l with 3 seconds left to secure the victory.

In this way, the Warriors won two consecutive playoff wins at home, basically booking tickets to the Western Conference semi-finals.
