After the Western Conference semifinals G1 between the Warriors and the Lakers ended, the results of the first games of several other semifinals were also announced.
In the first game of the series between the Spurs and the Thunder, the two sides were evenly matched. The game was quite tense, and the winner was not decided until the last moment.
The veteran Spurs know how to use their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. They don't run with the young Thunder to play fast offense, but instead use a grinding war of attrition.
It can be said that in terms of strategy, the two Western Conference semifinals have similar approaches, but the final results are different.
The Spurs relied on their rich experience in the playoffs to play steadily and patiently with the Thunder on defense, and finally dragged the game into the final decisive moment.
In good times, he drives a car and becomes a Buddha in bad times; in desperate times, he kills all the demons with his sword!
In the final decisive stage, Ginobili did not hesitate to pull out the demon sword in his hand and kill all opponents.
When Durant, the boss of the Thunder, missed consecutive singles with a stick, Ginobili showed up and fully explained how to play at critical moments.
With the "Demon Sword" firing on all cylinders and scoring 7 points with sudden shots, the Spurs instantly reversed the situation on the court, not only overtaking the score but also establishing the victory in one fell swoop.
In the end, the Spurs defeated the Thunder 101-98 and won their first victory in the Western Conference semifinals.
The series between the Bulls and the Pacers is probably the least suspenseful set of matchups.
Under the leadership of a healthy Rose, the Bulls were so fierce that the Pacers simply couldn't resist it.
In the end, the Bulls defeated the Pacers 105-94 and won the first victory of this series.
Another group of Eastern Conference semifinals team defeated the invincible Heat team in a down-and-out upset.
Howard broke out in full force, scoring a double-double of 24 points, 20 rebounds and 4 blocks, becoming the biggest contributor to the Numbers Team's victory.
The fact that Happy Beast's statistics are so explosive is due to the fact that the Heat are so bad inside.
The inside line composed of Bosh and Haslem is definitely the weakest among these eight teams.
When they faced powerful insiders like Howard and Cousins, the result was already doomed.
If it weren't for the hard support of James and Wade, we would have entered garbage time after three quarters.
In such a desperate situation, Heat fans believed from beginning to end that the Heat could complete the reversal in the fourth quarter and achieve the final victory.
Just because they have a hot man who is infinitely close to God!
Dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel!
There were no miracles in the fourth quarter. James was unable to turn the tide and lead the team to a comeback.
In the end, the Digital People defeated the Heat 106-90.
After the game, people in the industry knew very well that the Digital Man team did not win by fluke, but that they really had the ability to kill the Heat.
If the Heat can't find a solution to the problem, it's really possible for the Numbers to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Heat, who suffered a disastrous home defeat and lost their home court advantage, have reached the stage of life and death!

On May 16, the Western Conference semifinals G2 between the Warriors and Lakers continued at Oracle Arena.
The Lakers, who lost the last game, took the lead in making changes.
Phil Jackson put Odom on the map @
After learning the team's strategy, the coaching staff discussed a countermeasure overnight.
Determined not to fight a war of attrition with the Lakers, and adopted a blitzkrieg to defeat the Lakers in one fell swoop.
At the same time, Nelson will test the new offensive and defensive tactics proposed by Sun Yi in the next games.
Although the offensive and defensive tactics proposed by Sun Yi are very comprehensive, they are all just words on paper without being tested in actual combat.
If it fails to meet expectations, it can be stopped in time without affecting the subsequent games.
Old Nelson can still afford to win or lose a game.
In this way, with the battle of wits and courage between the two sides, the series G2 officially started.
Not long after the game started, Kobe, Nash and others discovered that the Warriors did not play according to the routine and did not continue to fight a war of attrition with them.
How the hell is this still playing? !
After Phil Jackson saw that his plan was discovered by his opponent, he immediately made adjustments and temporarily formulated a new set of offensive and defensive tactics.
I have to say that Master Zen is indeed a legendary coach, and his ability to adapt to changes is outstanding.
After some adjustments, the Lakers withstood the Warriors' fierce offensive firepower, and the game once again fell into a tense state.
Seeing that the situation was gradually turning towards the Lakers, Nelson was determined to give it a try and immediately requested a timeout to issue new instructions to the players.
After returning from the timeout, the Warriors sent out a lineup of Curry, Clay, Brewer, Battier, and Sun Yi.
When the fans saw Sun Yi running inside to face Gasol, they couldn't understand what the Warriors wanted to do.
Although I couldn't understand it, I was shocked!
On the Lakers bench, Phil Jackson also looked confused.
"What the hell is going on over there?!"
The Zen master thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out. He could only continue to read and then think of ways to deal with it.
Back on the court, Sun Yi ran to the top of the arc to catch the ball and prepare to deal the cards.
Yingodala stood ready, staring at Sun Yi with all his attention, not daring to relax even a little bit.
Kobe Bryant, Gasol and others are always ready to retreat into the penalty area to attack Sun Yi.
Near the baseline on the left, Curry and Clay are running cross-cover.
At this time, Sun Yi suddenly moved, forced a breakthrough inside to attract the defense, and then immediately passed the ball to the outside.
Curry, who ran outside the three-point line, received the pass comfortably and hit a three-pointer with his hands.
On the Lakers bench, Phil Jackson saw what was happening on the court and didn't think there was anything wrong. This is a common tactic for the Warriors.
"You have to keep looking to find out what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd opposite." The Zen Master relaxed and continued to watch the game.
[In view of the general environment,
When it was the Lakers' turn to attack, Nash lobbed the ball to Gasol, allowing him to use his height advantage to hit the inside.
There is nothing wrong with the Lakers' tactics. I have the advantage of playing big and small.
But when Gasol hit him from behind, he found that he couldn't resist it. He was forced to turn around and Sun Yi cut the ball away. It was a disaster that never comes singly.
Sun Yi’s badges have the bonus effects of [Restricted Area Deterrence] and [Cut the Ball Expert]. It’s really difficult for Jia Sao to hit him from behind!
On the field, the Warriors launched a defensive counterattack, and Sun Yi attracted the defense and passed the ball to the best position.
At this time, the five players on the Warriors court all have three-point shooting ability, and the Lakers can't afford to miss the ball.
At a 45° angle outside the right three-point line, Kelai received the pass and hit a three-pointer.
Looking back, the Lakers saw that the strong inside attack was not effective, so they switched to teamwork.
But they soon discovered that no matter how they moved, there would be a Warriors player right in front of them, and they couldn't get rid of him at all.
On the Warriors bench, Nelson's eyes lit up when he saw what happened on the court.
He knew very well that Sun Yi's unlimited defense changes had an effect.
On the court, Kobe received the pass and saw that the attack time was about to come. He could only jump back against Brewer's defense.
cast.
Under the interference of Brewer's long arm, Nachi gained an iron.
In the penalty area, Sun Yi grabbed the defensive rebound and immediately threw the ball forward after landing.
Ke Lai, who had already started a fast break, received the pass and rushed to the basket for an easy layup.
In just a few dozen seconds, the Warriors launched an 8-0 offensive climax!
The Death Five of the Warriors version 1.0 are showing off for the first time!
It can be said that some people are happy and some are sad.
Seeing that the score was about to be extended, Phil Jackson had to request a timeout and find a way to deal with the Warriors' strange lineup.
