Most probably, Rockets did not expect such resistance from the thunders, especially since the team was strengthened this season by the former leader of the Thunder Russell Westbrook and it seemed that together with James Harden they would tear apart the opponent’s defense, but that was not the case. Houston started the first round of the playoffs with two wins in a row and the impression was that the opponent was knocked out after such failures, but Oklahoma showed character and equalized the score. The same situation was repeated in last fights, when the rockets had a good opportunity to put the squeeze on the opponent, although it did not work out. Michael D’Antoni’s wards are clearly worried about the result before the decisive seventh fight, since the defeat in the first series will greatly disappoint the management, which invests a lot in the team.
In the previous two seasons, the Briton did not manage to overcome the 1/64 finals. This time Edmund successfully advanced to the second round of the US Open, removing Alexander Bublik from his path. The first set remained with the representative of Kazakhstan, but after that Edmund seized the initiative and beat the opponent with a score of 2:6.7:5.7:5.6:0. However, in the third game, Bublik had a great opportunity to change the course of events in his favor, but Alexander could not apply for the set, as a result of which he broke down psychologically and after that did not win a single game.
