Chapter 452: The First Sweep

Still lost, the Trail Blazers tried their best, and even let Nurkic come back early, without asking for a victory, the Spurs were too strong.

Zhang Xiaotian scored 15 assists in this game, setting a new personal playoff high.

"Obviously, we did a better job of moving the ball, we hit those shots. ”

On the Trail Blazers' side, Nurkic, who came back early, was a little helpless, "We can all see that I haven't recovered to my best yet, and we have all decided to play today to try." I felt good at the start of the game, and although it hurt a little bit, I felt like I could hold on. But then the pain got worse and worse, and I was playing with a stump leg, and yes, I was in real pain. ”

In contrast, Lillard, who has a strong sense of self-esteem, is a little sad.

"To be honest, we did have some setbacks, especially after losing a game in which we played very well. Everybody played well and we took the lead at one point before the fourth quarter. But I don't think that's the end of it, a lot of people are 3-0 down, especially against a team like Spurs, but I have to say with confidence, no, I'm not a person who will give up, I'm very optimistic, it doesn't matter, even if it's a big score of 0:3. ”

'We had hopes of winning this game, but you can feel the difficulties that come from that. If we win this and then go to the fourth game, then the opponent will need to think about it. It's a shame we wasted this opportunity, but we still have the rest of the games to play, we've got some respect and we'll keep preparing for the next game. ”

By the time the Spurs took the match point, the Warriors had already finished the series.

Durant is back, Curry is still strong, and the Grizzlies can only say that they did their best.

Draymond Green said arrogantly after the game: "A sweep is a certainty, and another 4 sweeps are the same." ”

This is competitive sports, and the winner can have no scruples.

Curry said in an interview: "We knew this was an opportunity to end the series, and we took advantage of it. We started the game amazingly, we were confident in attack and we all worked together to win the game. ”

"We're going to get some rest and get ready for the second round."

He also said that Durant has no problem at all and is very good on the court.

And out of the Grizzlies, Conley could only pretend to be strong after the game, "We did our best to fight, I have given it my all, and I have no regrets." ”

There are teams that have been swept and there are teams that are very entangled with each other.

The Raptors relied on DeRozan's excellent play and the team's tough defense to turn the series into a 2:2.

The Bucks' outside shooting problems were thoroughly exposed, and they were not good at several strong three-point points.

Bucks coach Jason Kidd spoke about the team's turnovers in an interview after the game, "When you have as many as 20 turnovers, it's hard to find your rhythm in the game. We have to be better on the ball. ”

"I think Giannis wants to try to lead the team and he can see that his teammates can't get shots, so he thinks he can do it. Again, that's what great players can do. Unfortunately, he couldn't hit the shot either. It was a great game for us to know that we had to keep our way of playing and keep moving the ball. ”

"They just threw at us with their bodies, we just threw shots. I just missed the shot, that's it. They were as physical as they were in the first three games, and I just missed the shot, and that's what it was all about. Antetokounmpo said after the game.

'We need to be better at moving the ball and finding team-mates who are in the open positions. The Raptors are crowded in the paint, and we need to be better at finding teammates in open positions and protecting the ball. If we do that, we'll be in a good position. ”

Compared with the Bucks, the Raptors, who have been criticized before, are also relieved to win this time.

Raptors head coach Casey said in an interview: "I always say we play better in the face of adversity. It's a tough situation, but I like the resilience and character of the team that bounces back. ”

Speaking about his hand recovery, DeRozan said: "You have to be patient with the process and go with the flow. ”

Lowry was even more agitated, "My brother always keeps me calm. He's been an incredible friend since we've been working together. I always think about what should happen and what might happen, and I sometimes suddenly have the idea that my sleep quality is not good. He would always say, 'I heard, everything happens for a reason.' We've made that clear. ”

'We know how bad we were in Game 3 and we don't want to embarrass ourselves like that when we come on in Game 4. It was like an old-school Eastern Conference basketball game, and it wasn't pretty, but it worked. ”

In the group of the Wizards and Hawks, who were the slowest in progress, the Hawks finally pulled back a game at home thanks to the excellent play of Millsap and Schroder.

"Paul was outstanding, he hit a lot of random shots, he was on pick-and-rolls or unpick-and-rolls, he was on every surface." Hawks coach Budenholzer said after the game.

'We had a great performance on the defensive end, the opposition had a lot of chances in attack and the tempo they had on the offensive end, they closed the gap on a couple of occasions and we responded on a couple of occasions.

When asked about the trash talk battle with Wall, Hawks hero Schroder told the media: "I said before the game that this is in the past, it's his business to say what he wants to do on the court, and all I need to do is do what I have to do." ”

"The playoffs are a very different arena with players and situations that are completely different from the regular season, which gives us a huge challenge, but we want to go further to beat all the opponents in front of us, no matter how strong they are, all we have to do is fight to win one game at a time."

'They came at us with a strong performance and they had a very high sense of urgency. I don't think we relaxed, we missed some shots when we came on the pitch and we let that affect our defence. They deserved to win, they played a great game of basketball. They had a great start and played well in normal games. Wizards coach Brooks said after the game.

"Beal's form is going to bounce back, he's a big winner, and hopefully he'll hit the ball when he's on the court in the next game." Reading a book and finding the latest chapters by yourself?
