Super Role Player

The Spurs led by 14 points in the first quarter, and continued to expand their lead in the second quarter. At halftime, the Spurs entered the intermission with a 1-point lead.

"There were two massacres in the first round of the Western Conference. This game is really not that good." In the CCTV live broadcast room, Director Zhang shook his head and said.

The intermission was very long, so Yu Jia and Director Zhang began to gossip. There was really nothing to say about the game, so they could only lament the intensity of the game.

Turner Sports went too far. Mike Thierry and Magic Johnson actually started summarizing the other games. For example, Brandon Jennings, who talked big, was defeated by the Heat in two consecutive games. The so-called six games to solve the Heat are now It has become a joke.

And the Thunder beat the Lakers in two consecutive games. Without Kobe, the Lakers really have no competitiveness at all.

After the Nuggets beat the Warriors in the first game, they lost to the Warriors in the second game. The two teams tied 1:1. The Clippers won a big away game. Today, like the Spurs, they are in the second game of the series. The game is still undecided.

The Bulls and the Nets, each with one win and one loss, tied 1:1; the Knicks won two consecutive small wins, and it seemed that promotion was in sight; the Pacers also won two consecutive big wins, leading the Eagles 2:0.

Therefore, Magic Johnson sighed: "The wind direction of this year's playoffs is a bit strange. There are big victories in the east and west. The Spurs vs. Rockets, Heat vs. Bucks, Thunder vs. Lakers, Pacers vs. Eagles are all big victories; Jin also suffered a disastrous defeat in the second game, whether this kind of big victory or fiasco, whether it is a difference in strength or something, is currently somewhat unclear."

Mike Thierry laughed, "Let's guess. I think the reason for this phenomenon in this year's playoffs is related to the grouping of superstars."

Magic Johnson thought for a while, and then nodded: "It really has something to do with it. The superstar team makes the strength of the top teams and the strength of the mid-level teams bigger and bigger, so the first round of the playoffs is gradually lost. suspense."

The second half of the game started quickly. Even the Spurs fans on the sidelines had no interest in watching the game that had long lost suspense. However, every goal the team scored would still cause them to cheer one after another.

In the end, after four quarters, the Spurs won another 116:95 at home, leading the Rockets 2:0 in the first round of the playoffs.

Then, the Spurs drove to Houston, and at the Toyota Center, the Spurs won another 107:88 without mercy.

3:0! The Spurs have one foot into the Western Conference semifinals.

a day later,

In the last game at the Toyota Center, the Rockets finally played the banner of refusing to sweep, as everyone thought.

The game also unexpectedly started to be exciting. In the first quarter, Harden continued to misfire under the defense of Anxi, but Chandler Parsons and Jeremy Lin stepped forward. The two scored consecutively. At the end of the first quarter, the Rockets 25:27 , actually withstood the pressure given to them by the Spurs, only 2 points behind.

But that's the end of the struggle. Starting from the second quarter, the Spurs will lead by three or four points in each game.

After three quarters, the Spurs' lead came to 10 points again, and they entered the final quarter with this 10-point lead.

10 points behind, the Toyota Center is already in mourning, and the team was swept 4:0, which is almost an established fact.

Soon, the Spurs proved this point. In the last quarter, the Spurs went all out, suppressing the Rockets and couldn't even raise their heads. In the end, the game ended. The Spurs won 109:96, swept the Rockets 4:0, and advanced to the second round!

After the game, Popovich walked near the halfway line and shook Kevin McHale's hand.

This trip to the playoffs is Kevin McHale's first playoff game. Popovich comforted the failed McHale a little bit: "Kevin, you have done a good job, come on, hope next year Keep seeing you."

McHale's popularity in the league is quite good, otherwise the Celtics star would not have been the general manager of the Timberwolves for so many years. He looked at Popovich and said thank you very sincerely.

The game is over and the Rockets are swept out, which also means that there is only one Chinese or Chinese left in Anxi in the playoffs. Jeremy Lin and Ah Lian who are also in the Rockets are out, and the attention of the Chinese people can only be on the Spurs With the body, the Spurs have become the home team of most domestic fans. Of course, this still has to exclude some star secrets, such as James fans, Durant fans and so on.

Anxi also chatted with Ah Lian on the sidelines. After this game, Ah Lian and the Rockets will end their contract for this season. However, judging from the performance of Ah Lian this season, they will get a better contract next season. , it will not be difficult.

After chatting for a few words, Anxi returned to the locker room. Sure enough, there were quite a few reporters waiting for Anxi in the locker room.

In the first round of four games, Anxi scored 15 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks in the first game. In the second game, he scored 12 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. In the third game, he scored 9 points. 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 2 blocks. In this game, Anxi scored 17 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.

The performance in the four games was very good, but because he made some offensive sacrifices to defend Harden, the scoring data was not high. In the four games, he averaged 13.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.2 Blocked shots in three of four games, great defensively, mediocre offensively.

"An, what do you think of your performance in this series?" The first question was related to Anxi's performance. The reporter who asked the question also handed Anxi a statistics table. Anxi glanced at it and replied with a smile: "I think I can give myself a good score, because it is already at my usual level, and there is no extraordinary performance or abnormal performance."

"So Ann, what do you think of the opponent in the next round?"

The opponent in the next round, Anxi also knows that the winner of the Grizzlies and Clippers will be the opponent of the Spurs. However, the first round of the series between these two teams was a bit anxious. The Clippers won the first game and the second game was a small victory. The situation changed suddenly in the third game. The Clippers returned to the home court, but lost to the Grizzlies. The fourth game had just ended, and the Grizzlies actually won another game.

"I don't have any opinion. It doesn't matter who the opponent is. The important thing is that we have a heart to win the game!"

Anxi's answer made several reporters from China want to applaud. That's right, is it that important who the opponent is? As long as we want to win! That's enough! (To be continued.)
