Time is like water, quietly April has come to an end.

The 2012-2013 season nba playoffs are proceeding in an orderly manner, and the fighting between the top four teams in the east and west and the back few teams continues to be staged.

Some teams are even more concerned. For example, the Lakers, who have a poor record this season and only ranked sixth in the East, want to know whether they can successfully counterattack and enter the second round?

Another example is the Clippers.

The Clippers are second in the Western Conference this season. Can the combination of Paul + Griffin + Jordan give people a surprise?

As for the east side, it looks a little flat.

The top four teams in the Eastern Conference, the Bulls, 76ers, Heat, and Knicks. In addition to the Knicks and Pacers' series tied 1:1, the Bulls vs. Celtics, 76ers vs. Hawks, and Heat vs. Nets, the top three teams in these three confrontations in the Eastern Conference all won two games, leading 2:0.

At the same time, the 76ers also rushed to Atlanta, ushered in the third game of the series at the Phillips Arena, home of the Eagles.

Although the Hawks had suffered a disastrous defeat in the previous two games, they almost couldn't even make it to the end, but when they returned to the home court, many Hawks fans came to the scene to cheer for the Hawks.

Players from both sides are already on the court.

Still warming up, the home fans in the audience have booed at the 76ers players, and mixed with all kinds of verbal abuse, it seems that they want to affect the mood of the players.

However, this is of no use to the 76ers. Only those who are not confident will be affected. The 76ers are confident.

Speaking of being unconfident, the Hawks players seem to be a little unconfident, their eyes are dodging, they dare not look at each other with 76ers players, and they appear quiet when warming up.

"It seems that today's game will not be very troublesome." Butler said to Qin Hao with a smile.

"Yeah." Qin Hao nodded, glanced at the other side, and then withdrew his gaze.

In these two games, they are not only to win, but also deliberately to create a psychological shadow for the Eagles, isn't it for this?

Looking at the situation of the other party, the psychological shadow area is estimated to be not small.

......

After some warm-up, the game started soon.

At this moment, the home fans became more and more energetic. When they saw the Eagles attacking, they cheered enthusiastically. When they saw the 76ers get the ball, they booed. Because they also know that this game is very important. If the Eagles lose and fall behind 0:3, there has never been a turnaround record in NBA history.

Only by winning this game, will there be a chance.

Then the huge Phillips Arena was overwhelmed by continuous boos...

"Pick and roll."

Bathed in hiss, Qin Hao pushed the ball to the frontcourt and made a gesture to his teammates. Nei Nei came up for a pick-and-roll. Qin Hao used the pick-and-roll to get rid of Teague, moved one step horizontally, and shot a three-pointer.

Huh!

The ball is scored.

Qin Hao put down his right hand, smiled and turned around to retreat.

On the edge of the court, coach Luke smiled and said to himself: "If nothing happens, we can accept today's game."

From the beginning of the game, he could see that the Eagles were lacking in spirit. Several starters were a bit nervous when they played against Qin Hao, Butler and others. They always made some low-level mistakes, or made empty shots. Don't make it, don't make a layup, or just don't dare to shoot.

There is no doubt that after the two games, the Hawks have already had a psychological shadow, lacking the confidence to compete with the 76ers, and even feared about it.

This is the playoffs. With such a mentality, how can it be against the 76ers?

So even though only one quarter has been played at this time, and only more than six minutes have passed since the second quarter, coach Luke already has a bottom in his heart.

......

In a blink of an eye, at the end of the first half, the 76ers led by 10 points.

This made the home fans very depressed. It is not the point to be 10 points behind at halftime. The point is that the 76ers have been leading from the beginning of the game. From the beginning of the game, the Hawks have been lacking in passion.

During the intermission, coach Drew cheered up the players again, telling them not to give up, only 10 points behind, nothing.

At the beginning of the second half, the point difference was not widened. It was always a dozen points. Most of the time, it was within fifteen points. Compared with the 20 points behind the previous two games, it seems to be much better.

But it is in this situation that the Eagles have not been able to narrow the point difference to less than 10 points.

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, Korver struck a three-pointer.

Moments later, Teague failed to make a layup.

"What's the matter? Seeing to shrink to single digits, I just can't make the investment."

"Yeah, more than once or twice. At this time, Teague and the others seem a little nervous, always unable to score, and then they will soon be pulled away by the opponent."

In the audience, the fans talked quietly, frowning.

Even if they can see it, Coach Drew is naturally more aware that the players are lack of energy and can't make continuous counterattacks at all. It seems that the difference in points is not very big, but in fact it is difficult for them to catch up with the score. .

In this regard, Coach Drew has nothing to do. It is not that he did not call a timeout adjustment, nor did he try to solve it from the mentality, enlighten the players, encourage the players...

However, there is no use for eggs.

The previous two losses were too miserable, and there are already psychological shadows. It is not easy to put aside these psychological shadows at once.

When the three quarters ended, the 76ers still only led by 14 points.

"Haha, just play like this." Coach Luke smiled and said to the players, not asking them to further widen the points difference, just to maintain this situation.

In the previous two games, the reason why Coach Luke asked the players to spread the points as far as possible and win as much as possible was to create a psychological shadow for the Eagles players. In order to scare them, they did not have the spirit to fight. Fight with yourself.

Now that this goal has been achieved, there is no need to stimulate the opponent. To force the opponent too much may be counterproductive. It is better to be gentle.

Anyway, as long as you can win.

The score difference of more than ten points is not very large, and it is not too many. The Eagles can't catch up quickly, but they are not completely hopeless.

......

In the last quarter, the Hawks still tried to launch a final counterattack.

But after all, it still has no effect. Whenever they reduce the point difference to the critical point of ten, the 76ers will stand up and open the point difference.

Seeing that the point difference is always about ten, but time is constantly passing by, and time is the life of the Eagles. When time is getting less and less, their hopes are getting less and less.

When the game ended, the score was 112:103.

The Eagles lost only 9 points, but they also lost eight points. After losing this game, the series score became 0:3, which is basically equivalent to announcing that they are finished.
