In the Western finals, G1, the lone ranger defeated the Timberwolves by 108-105, leading 1-0 in total! There is no doubt that the lone ranger is playing harder and harder. In the first round and the second round, the lone ranger lost G1 away. But after that, they all won G2. Today is the first time for the Lone Ranger to win G1 in this playoff. As Doncic said after the game, they can't always lose the first game. Therefore, winning this game not only makes the lone ranger's morale high, but also gives him home advantage.
If there is no accident in the next game, everyone knows that the Timberwolves will probably win the game, and the lone rangers may not be so desperate. For them, returning home with 1-1 means completing the task. In this game, the lone ranger can really play against the Timberwolves. Although the Timberwolves have Gobel, Downes and Reed's three high interior lines, the lone ranger's interior line is not weak. Rookie Leffley is playing better and better. He is excellent at rebounding and moving speed.
There is also Garford's ability to stay in the air, as well as Washington's mobility in position 4. He can grab the board on the inside and project on the outside. Apart from these, the other two positions of the lone ranger are not inferior to those of the forest wolf. East Cheech and Owen from Eastern Europe are opposite to Huazi and Downes. Today, Eastern Europe won completely, with Owen scoring 30 points and Dongqi scoring 33 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists. Downes only got 16 points and 7 rebounds from 6 of 20, and Edwards got 19 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists from 6 of 16. These two cores were exploded by Eastern Europe.
Now the lone ranger is really the best rocket for 18 years, which is a perfect replica. Dongqi is Harden, Owen is Paul, Jones is Ariza, Washington is Tuck, Leffley is Capella, Hardaway is Gordon, the lone ranger is Green, Hardy, Garford, Aikessam and other strong men. If it's just a substitute lineup, this lone ranger is still on the top of the Rockets. The playing style of Eastern Europe is similar to that of a light bulb, with a big core holding the ball and an auxiliary attacker playing an infinite singles.
The difference is that Paul can not only play singles, but also organize. But Owen is more capable of tackling difficult problems, and his organization is also qualified. In this way, the team can maintain a core leader on the field for 48 minutes, and other players are more functional. So when the Lone Ranger got Washington and Garford, their defense was greatly improved. If Washington is strong, it will surely surpass Tucker at the peak. This game has already explained everything. Dongqi didn't feel good at the beginning, but when Owen attacked, he got 24 points at half time, and helped the lone ranger only fall behind by 3 points. In the second half, Dongqi's various team-mates, Garford and Jones also opened fire one after another, and the lone ranger only missed 1 point to enter the last quarter.
In the last quarter, the power of Dongqi and Owen began to highlight. Dongqi scored 9 points in a row and played a script with the peak rocket that year. They all focused on the inner defect of Goebbels. Doncic frequently scored from the middle distance. Goebbels was embarrassed to crouch under the basket. If he didn't come out, he was shot 2 points. He came out slowly and was trained by the military. At the last moment, Doncic and Owen worked directly against Gobel. The Timberwolves had no choice but to replace Gobel, but they could not keep him in the basket. Leffley turned the tables under the basket. Washington had three points and rebounds. Downes attacked the strong and defended the weak. The Timberwolves were in a dilemma.
As Owen said after the game, he has been telling his teammates to fight against the defects of the Timberwolves. Dongqi perfectly gathers his teammates together. In fact, this kind of play was the best way for the Rockets to play. In the Western Conference finals of the 18th year, the Rockets played the Warriors, and neither side dared to play the big man slowly, which was due to their ability to play singles. What is better than rockets is that there is no universal courage. It is no wonder that Harden has always called Zandongqi, and now the lone ranger is no different from the 18 year old Rocket. If the lone ranger can enter the finals or even win the championship this year, it is enough to prove that the Rockets can win the championship in 18 years, but only when they meet the Universal Courage.
