After entering the playoffs, the main theme of the NBA is the game, especially for the parties involved, and their attention is entangled by the competition. Just one day later, the Warriors set foot on the battlefield again and started their fourth battle with the Spurs.

If the Warriors lose again this time, the Spurs will win the match point with a big score of 3-1. In the history of the Spurs, as long as they win the match point, they have never been eliminated by their opponents again, so the Warriors are bound to win this battle.

The other two teams in the Western Conference, the Hornets finally won an amazing victory with their home advantage, temporarily rewriting the score to 1-2.

Before this game, the Hornets were in a worse situation. They suffered two consecutive losses. If they lost again, Paul would be ashamed of the fans: the fans agreed that he was more suitable for MVP than Kobe. Until now, many people still believe that Kobe and Stern stole Paul's MVP.

In the third game between the Hornets and the Lakers, the Hornets played very dangerously. It was not until Paul made a fatal final shot in 3:9 seconds before the end of the game that the Hornets narrowly defeated their opponent with one point, thus tying the total score to 1-2.

Chris Paul contributed 27 points and 13 assists and 5 steals in this game. Stojaconovic finally found the touch and scored 26 points, West scored 22 points. The three teams scored 70% of the team's score, which is also the reason why they can defeat the Lakers who are in full swing.

Kobe scored a game-high 32 points, Gasol scored 22 points and 15 rebounds, and Odom scored 18 points and 9 rebounds. Bynum performed very poorly throughout the playoffs, and Chandler looked like a little dog. There were only 6 points and 8 rebounds in this game, and even Odom, who liked to be distracted, was not as good as Odom.

At the beginning, the Hornets showed their strong attacking sentiment. Chandler snatched the ball from Bynum's head. Then Peja received a breakthrough pass from Paul to hit the Hornets' first goal at mid-range. West then took another goal, and the Hornets took the lead 4-0 at the beginning.

Then, the Lakers began to counterattack. Kobe rushed into the inside against Peterson's defense and made a dunk, opening up the situation for the Lakers. However, the start of this game belonged to the Hornets. The team standing on the edge of the cliff exploded with a terrifying rebound. West and Paul echoed the crowd. After teaming up to score 8 points, the Hornets led the Lakers 12-6.

But then, Odom, who used to like to be distracted, suddenly woke up. It turned out that the left-hand magician was absolutely strong when he was not distracted. He scored 9 points in a row from inside and outside shots, helping the Lakers to 11-4 with a wave of 17-16.

The Lakers were unstoppable for a while. Gasol blocked Paul's layup and drove the ball forward and played a one-stop game. This offense made the Hornets fans lose their voices for a while, while Kobe was about to be crazy about to be happy. His assistant performed so well.

Relying on Gasol's two-pointer and Bynum then made a foul and made two free throws at the free throw line, the Lakers added 3 points to lead the Hornets 20-16. As a last resort, Hornets coach Scott had to call for a timeout. At this time, there were only more than two minutes left before the first quarter.

This timeout played a little role. Although the Hornets failed to catch up with the score difference, they firmly grasped the score. Before the end of this quarter, the Hornets scored 4 points in the inside and finally ended the first quarter with a 27-31 fall.

In the first half of the second quarter, the Lakers still maintained the lead by relying on multiple points. After Kobe made both free throws, the Lakers led the Hornets 41-35.

The Hornets knew what their problem was, so they suddenly pressed the whole game. After that, the Lakers' offense came to a standstill. Paul showed his MVP strength comparable to Kobe. He scored 5 points inside and outside, Peja scored two goals in a row from the outside, West and Chandler even scored consecutively in the inside attack. The Hornets rewritten the score to 50-41 with a 15-0 scoring craze!

The Zen master, who had always been calm, was also unable to sit still by the Hornets' crazy offensive. He even called two timeouts but could not suppress the Hornets' crazy. The Hornets' home court stadium was completely in a state of madness. Paul's name and MVP shouts came one after another, making Kobe's face turn ashen.

At this critical moment, Famal, who came on as a substitute, stood up. His shot broke the Lakers' scoring drought, but Paul and Peja's performance helped the Hornets continue to lead. At the end of the second quarter, the Hornets led the Lakers 56-48, changing the decline in the first quarter.

Entering the second half, Kobe went on a battle dressing, but the Hornets, who were determined to win, played a life-long attack. Even if Kobe appeared on the court, he could not curb the attack frenzy led by Paul.

Paul intercepted Kobe and Fisher twice in a row, and converted the two steals into assists, helping Peja and Chandler succeed in attacking, so that the Hornets expanded their lead to 61-48.

Immediately afterwards, Kobe started his personal scoring mode, and he winked Paul Gasol. The latter made a pick-and-roll with him and received the pass and successfully scored a three-pointer on West. Then Kobe scored a three-pointer from the outside and then scored two more points on the free throw line. However, the Hornets had too much advantage before and maintained their continued lead to the Lakers 63-56.

The Lakers' pursuit ended here. In the second half of the third quarter, the Hornets scored frequently inside attacks. Bynum lost all his chains and could not see the Sharks at all. Chandler could not defend him into the penalty area for a while. Kobe was disappointed. He probably would have to play Bynum in the training game within the team.

Paul strengthened the frequency of breakthroughs, and he made all six free throws at the free throw line, helping the Hornets to end the first three quarters with a big score of 79-64.

After the last quarter, the Hornets continued to expand their results. After Paul scored a goal, the Hornets took a 20-point lead with 86-66 in the last 9 minutes and 14 seconds.

The performance of Kobe, Gasol and others helped the Lakers narrow the score difference, but the team dug too much, and the Hornets did not give their opponents a chance to breathe. After Chandler made both free throws, the Hornets still led 96-78 in the last 4 minutes. There was no suspense in the subsequent game. Both sides replaced the starters and replaced the substitute. In the end, the Hornets defeated their opponents 105-88 and successfully saved one of their home courts.

This result made Chamberlain feel envious and jealous. His mother Hornets saved their home court, but they actually lost their home court. Isn't this nonsense?

When they fought with the Spurs again, the Warriors united as one. When they entered the court, they changed their usual hippie smiles and expressionless faces. Until the start of the game, Chamberlain and others did not talk anymore, but practiced their own balls. West hit twenty three-pointers in a row outside the three-point line, which made the fans excited.

The Warriors players gave fans a hope and a hope of winning.

Seeing the opponent's calm look, the Spurs players' expressions were much heavier, but they were not people who liked the excitement. The Warriors' appearance was more of their hearts. That's right, the game was just a game. Why did they do so many tricks before?

Bowen tried hard to break the morale of the Warriors. When Chamberlain stood at the midfield line, he smiled and said, "Hey, baby, why is your expression so ugly? Is it because your wife didn't let you **** to punish you for your last failure?"

Chamberlain turned around and looked at several people fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "You are right. My wife doesn't let me ****. He asked me to keep the energy to fuck you bastards!"

The referee blew the whistle and threw the ball up. Chamberlain took the air like a rocket and slapped the ball down with a slap!

The moment Chamberlain took off, Elis ran forward directly in the frontcourt. Finley was shocked and did not catch up with him. In this way, the ball flew directly around the three-point line. Elis grabbed the ball and quickly broke into the basket, easily picked up the basket and sent the ball into the ring.

In just two and a half seconds, the Warriors rewritten the score to 2-0.

Parker dribbled the ball to the frontcourt calmly. When he stood in the three-point line, he suddenly accelerated and broke forward from Billups. Billups held Parker's waist with one hand and stretched out his hand to block Parker. Parker turned around and passed the ball to Bowen outside the three-point line.

Bowen took the ball and made a jump shot. Ellis posted it up and shouted: "You old man is a kind of person to break through me! Do you think I am really a defensive sieve? I won't play this fake move when I was three years old!"

Finley came up to receive the ball, and after getting the ball, he passed it to Parker who had already rushed to the penalty area. Parker received the ball and jumped sideways. He adjusted his posture slightly in the air and threw the ball.

A big man suddenly came out of the basket. Chamberlain swung his hands and jumped fast and high like he was stepping on a spring. He slapped the basketball and slapped it off.

Billups picked up the ball and led the team to advance quickly. After he arrived at the front court, he looked at his teammate's position and passed the ball to Chamberlain in the inside.

Seeing this scene, Duncan and Oberto went forward without hesitation to double-team. The latter was ready for a foul. They planned to continue their efforts in the tactics of the previous game: NBA iron law, one tactic is effective, then it is a good tactic.

When Chamberlain received the ball, he tiptoed to transfer the ball to O'Brient, who retreated, who replaced Evans to start today, which was the second time this season.

O'Brient, who was in the open, stabilized the ball in his hand, then jumped up leisurely and sent the ball into the ring.

Old Nelson sent O'Brient to start, using him to break the Spurs' double-team tactic: he does not have any good inside line, but isn't Popovich the same? It is true that Evans is not sure about mid-range shots and has no independent offensive ability. He can double-team Chamberlain at will when he goes on the court, while Harrington is not big enough in size and tonnage. He will suffer a lot when facing Oberto, so let O'Brient come.

For a center, O'Brient's running ability, lateral movement and bounce are excellent, and he will never give people a heavy and clumsy feeling on the court. Whether he plays or not, he always actively grabs the position at the basket, which makes him a very excellent rebounder and blocker, and the feeling of making up for defense and blocking is particularly good.

The key is that as a seven-foot man, he has strong ability to control the ball with his hands and mature small hook skills. Although his free throw shooting rate is not high, his touch is soft and his mid-range shooting rate is very impressive. His vision is wide, his passing is accurate, and he can quickly find gaps under double teams. His basketball IQ is very high.

His offensive ability is actually good, but his poor ability is his confrontation. Once he comes into contact with his opponent, his hit rate will drop sharply.

Admittedly, if O'Brient does not have the advantage in the inside of the NBA, this is also the reason why Old Nelson is unwilling to use him. But if Chamberlain attracts double teams, his offensive ability will come in handy.

As for defense, this is O'Brient's strength. When the Warriors selected him at the ninth pick in the first round, they were attracted by his defensive awareness and growth potential. Although the facts proved that the team was blind and misjudged, this guy's growth potential was not as good as Evans, but his defensive level was indeed good.

After leaving high school, O'Brient became famous with his amazing blocking ability. He dominated the Missouri blocking list for two consecutive years. At the same time, with his super long 7-foot-6 wingspan, he is also a big man who can put pressure on his opponent. It is definitely a sure win against Oberto, who has a worse offensive ability than him.
