The Clippers killed the Warriors four times, and the Rockets digged the lake boat but fought against the Warriors! To pick the opponent, you have to pick yourself home

On April 30, the Clippers came to a desperate situation, trailing the Nuggets 2:3, and losing another game will be eliminated and returned home, but this result was their own choice, and now they are asking for trouble.

Everything comes from the two peak battles that occurred in the last three rounds of the NBA regular season. The Clippers insisted on defeating the Warriors and chose the Nuggets for themselves. The Rockets insisted on fighting the Warriors to let the Clippers let the Clippers go, but they beat themselves in front of the Warriors. Now both teams are going home, and they may have gone further.

The last two games of the regular season directly affected all subsequent results, or the last 4 games affected the subsequent results. First, the Clippers fought against the Warriors in the last round, and insisted on fighting with the Warriors. Finally, they won the Warriors and secured the fifth place in the Western Conference, pushing themselves to the Nuggets with their own hands.

If the Clippers were given the Warriors in that game, they might have to face other opponents. If the Clippers lose to the Warriors, the final ranking will be fifth, the Warriors are sixth, and the Clippers are seventh. Even though they know that they win, they will play against the Nuggets, and they must fight with the Warriors until the end, or even win in overtime. This is the opponent they choose. So if you lose to the Nuggets, it’s really no wonder anyone. At that time, they had the initiative in ranking and could give the Warriors a chance if they didn’t want to play against the Nuggets.

And not only the Clippers, but also the Rockets in this round. The Rockets insisted on fighting the Warriors in the fourth last game of the regular season. After the Warriors, they immediately let the Lakers Clippers and Nuggets go, and ended up sending the Warriors to seventh and choosing a Warriors for themselves. What about now? I am about to be eliminated by the Warriors' Black Seven. Isn't this just a self-inflicted situation?

It can be said that these two games, or the Rockets played the two games before, the Lakers and Nuggets, these 4 games determine the final ranking, and the result is that they have to play now. Even if the results change in one game, the final matchup situation will not be like this now. At that time, many people suggested that the Clippers could consider letting the Warriors play the Rockets by themselves. The Rockets are all new recruits in the playoffs. If the Clippers were willing to let the Warriors play the game? After winning the seventh playoffs, he faced the Houston Rockets directly. Harden returned to his old club to play and basically won steadily.

If the Rockets let go of the Warriors at that time, the Warriors would have to be at least in the top six. The Rockets could avoid the Golden State Warriors and choose other opponents. No matter who they are, they would be easier to play than Curry and Butler. These two superstars have too much experience. If possible, they really shouldn't have made such a choice.

If the results of the Clippers and Warriors in this game are different, or the results of the Rockets and Warriors in this game are different, the final playoff matchup may have been the Clippers playing against the Rockets, the Warriors playing against the Lakers, the Nuggets and the Timberwolves, but now they are all chosen by themselves, and they are likely to be eliminated and returned home as second in the West and fifth in the West.
