Chapter 373: Sweeping the Spurs to advance to the finals (guaranteed three changes 2)
After the opening game of the Western Conference finals, the opening game between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Knicks in the East was also decided.
What Knicks fans didn't expect at all was that the referees were biased in favor of the Philadelphia 76ers in terms of penalties!
Even if this is the home of the Philadelphia 76ers, this is something that New York fans cannot accept......
In the end, the Philadelphia 76ers won the opening game by seven points and kept their first home court.
……
The second game of the Western Conference is still the home of the Trailblazers.
In this game, Popovich sacrificed the shark cutting tactic again, there is no way, this method can only be used, if not, the Spurs are even more useless.
Ben's free throws in this game were not as good as in the game, and when the game was over, his free throw shooting rate was only 60%.
But even if it is only sixty percent, Popovich's shark cutting tactics are not worth the loss.
In the end, the Trail Blazers won by 7 points in this game, and Big Ben got an astonishing 25 points and 19 rebounds, almost scoring double 20 data!
The two games of the Western Conference Finals were completed, and the Trail Blazers won two consecutive games and won two in a row.
The next thing is to see if the Spurs can keep their home stadium, even if it is enough to keep a home stadium, it will be enough to make Spurs fans rejoice.
In the third game of the Western Finals, because it was played at the home of the Spurs, Big Ben's free throws directly made Popovich dumbfounded......
In this game, Big Ben's free throw shooting rate was as high as 70%!
The Spurs home fans all looked like they had seen a ghost......
A game with a free throw break is acceptable.
The two games broke out, and they can still make do with it......
But now it's broken out three times in a row?! Who can take it......
It's like God helping the trailblazers!
Popovich sighed, he knew the game was over......
And it doesn't matter if this game is over, the Trailblazers got a big score of 3:0, which basically indicates that the Spurs are out!
Want to win the trailblazers who are as steady as a dog in a desperate situation of 3:0?!
It's impossible to think about!
In the fourth game, Popovich cut a big section in the first half, and the effect was quite painful, so he simply didn't cut it......
Originally, he had been cutting Big Ben, just hoping that Big Ben's free throws could play "normally", but in this fourth game, Big Ben's free throw shooting rate was still high.
Popovich knew that there was no point in continuing to chop......
You can only cancel the shark slashing tactic and go head-to-head with the Trailblazers!
The result is naturally conceivable, the Trail Blazers easily won the Spurs with a strong backcourt and a bench lineup that is countless times stronger.
"Coach! We've taken out the spurs, sweep! Big Ben rushed to Richard's side excitedly after the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game!
Continue to be undefeated!
With 61 consecutive wins in the season, the Spurs, known as the strongest opponent of the Trail Blazers, also failed to win at the hands of the Trail Blazers!
Their Trail Blazers really have the potential to win all of them this season, both in the regular season and in the playoffs!
God-like record!
"Well done!"
"Ben, you're really invincible this time......"
"It's so invincible, how the hell did you do it!?"
"Your free throw was a huge surprise for Popovich......"
Winning the Western Conference Finals, the Trail Blazers players patted Big Ben on the shoulder and asked in disbelief.
It's really Big Ben's series, and the performance is so unexpected!
Originally, seeing Popovich sacrifice a shark-cutting tactic, the Trail Blazers thought that this series would be difficult and unlikely to sweep the Spurs......
But with Big Ben's magical free-throw shooting rate soaring, the Spurs were defeated in the end, and it didn't hinder the Trail Blazers' winning streak at all!
It can be said that Daben is the real hero of this round of Western Finals!
Big Benhan smiled and waved his hand, in fact, he was a little unresponsive now, why did his free throws suddenly increase so much......
Could it be that the coach's theory is true?!
"Coach, what the hell is going on, I can't figure it out......" Big Ben turned his gaze at Richard.
"Didn't I tell you, the more penalties, the higher the hit rate, this is a scientific theory, you can't ...... if you don't believe it," Richard waved his hand and said with a smile.
……
Sweep the Spurs and advance to the finals!
This is the second time in the three years since Richard entered the NBA that he has reached the Finals......
Last season, although it was said that it also entered the Finals, the players were still a little immature, and the Bulls were too strong, so the Trail Blazers lost seven games.
But this season is different, the Bulls dynasty has disintegrated, in fact, even if the Trail Blazers' strength has not improved compared to last season, they are also the biggest favorites to win the championship this season!
What's more, the strength of the Trail Blazers players has improved dramatically.
Big Ben, Kobe, Xiao Ao and others have already become well-known stars in the league, in this case, if they can't win the championship, Richard will simply crash to death!
……
In the current situation, Richard is naturally quite satisfied!
But what made him more dissatisfied was that this wave of pioneers led by him broke countless records, but the system had no rewards at all, which was really unreasonable.
Richard also couldn't understand what the hell this system was doing, it stands to reason that he should be full of harvest now, but the reality is that there is no harvest.
……
At the moment, Richard doesn't bother to think about it, and he will get the championship in front of him first.
The Philadelphia 76ers and Knicks are in full swing at the moment, and the two sides are tied 2:2.
Speaking of which, these two teams, no matter who advances to the Eastern Conference finals, are actually no different for the Trail Blazers, and the result is swept by them.
Even the Spurs are no match for the Trail Blazers, let alone these two teams.
But emotionally speaking, Richard naturally wants the 76ers to advance......
……
After winning the Western Conference Finals, the atmosphere within the Trail Blazers became a little weird.
Richard can clearly feel that several main players in the team are all worried at the moment.
The reason is simple, and that is the issue of contract renewals......
Everyone actually wants to stay with the Trailblazers, after all, everyone on the team is talented, and they talk well, and they love it here......
It is impossible to leave the team unless Richard does not renew their contract......
Now everyone is wondering who Richard will choose to stay in the team in the end.
When Richard saw such a scene, he was also helpless in his heart, the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat, if it weren't for the salary cap, he would definitely leave everyone behind.
At this point in time, it is naturally not a good time to talk about contract renewal, even if Richard is sure to win the championship, he will definitely have to get the championship in his hands before he will think about talking about contract renewal with the player.
