Chapter 380: The Same Sweep
The Trailblazers, who started desperately with the strongest lineup, hit the iron on both shots, but Zhang Xiaotian hit a riotous backward jumper.
In two minutes, although Ed Davis grabbed a rebound in the front court and hit two points for the Trail Blazers, the Warriors still led the opponent by 5 points with Zhang Xiaotian's almost inexplicable play.
The Warriors played the spirit of beating the water dogs, and this time they took the initiative to adjust, replacing Curry, Green and Klay Thompson, intending to take away the opponent in waves.
Curry hit a shot after coming up, and then assisted Zhang Xiaotian to score a three-pointer.
Seeing that the score gap was about to reach double digits, C.J. McLuome finally exploded in a desperate situation, hitting two three-pointers in a row.
Then Lillard and Aminu also hit three-pointers to score 12 straight points in just two minutes, and the Trail Blazers surprisingly overtook the Warriors' strongest lineup.
In competitive sports, there are some things that you can't really say.
Explosive seeds, metaphysics, are not things that are out of reach, and the warriors hurriedly ask for a timeout.
Kerr decided to take the small lineup down for the time being and go on Bogut.
Although the opponent has always been playing to change the lineup, sometimes it can't be old-fashioned, the big man can bend and stretch, and the team that is interested in the championship can't let people figure out the routine.
The Trail Blazers are not Rockets, and the advantage on the inside is just a little bit, and after Bogut comes up, the Warriors will not suffer on the inside, at least defensively.
Bogut came up and gave out a block, and Curry and Klay Thompson also hit three-pointers from the outside, and the Warriors regained the lead.
But at this time, Lillard broke out again, and he scored seven points in a row and made a foul to knock Bogut down.
Top All-Star performance, in the moment of life and death of the Trail Blazers, Lillard also played double the power.
The Warriors changed the lineup to five small, and they really didn't expect the Trail Blazers to get to this point.
It's okay to lose a game, but it's safer to sweep your opponent and rest for a few more days.
At the critical moment, Zhang Xiaotian broke through the ball, Curry hit three points again, and the score gap between the two sides became 1 point, with two minutes left, and the outcome depends on whose hand is hard at the last moment.
Whether it's a rush or a big one, Lillard hates to shoot a three-pointer but unfortunately misses it.
However, Curry didn't hit the next single shot, and Lillard's tone finally eased, and he showed rare calm, splitting the ball to the interior in the Trail Blazers' offense, and Plumlee hit the inside.
108:111, Lillard seems to be possessed at this time, but the style of play has changed, isn't it thrown as soon as his eyes are closed.
But only 7 seconds later, Curry and Zhang Xiaotian cooperated, this time it was Curry who gave the ball to Zhang Xiaotian, Zhang Xiaotian hit a three-pointer, 111:111, and when there were 52 seconds left in the game, the two sides were tied again.
After a timeout for the Trail Blazers, the ball was in Lillard's hands.
Lillard controlled the time and didn't rush, and just when the time was about to get the Trail Blazers ready to play the game, the Warriors chose to foul.
Because they haven't played the number of fouls yet, there's nothing wrong with interfering with the opponent's rhythm.
This time, if the Trail Blazers miss, the Warriors will be able to spend time until the end before making a move.
The Trail Blazers still chose to let Lillard play alone, Lillard started to drill inside, and the Warriors' help defense came up, this time Lillard removed the passing option and threw the ball out head-on.
With a bang, Zhang Xiaotian turned around and received the ball in his hand.
With only 18 seconds left, Warriors head coach Kerr did not plan to take a timeout, and Zhang Xiaotian took the ball directly to the opponent's half.
Curry motioned to hand him the ball, and Zhang Xiaotian directly said that he would handle the ball.
Curry's expression was a little embarrassed, but at this time, whoever has the ball in his hand is the boss, and if he is unhappy, he has to finish the game.
Cole's eyelids jumped, and it looked like he was going to have to talk to the two after the game.
Seeing that the west is about to be decided, the team should not have infighting.
Zhang Xiaotian pressed the time and motioned for everyone to pull away, he didn't need cover.
Coming over to cover now is likely to bring another defender over, and Zhang Xiaotian is more suitable for singles now, after all, the Trail Blazers don't have a player who can get him.
If the ball is not done well, Zhang Xiaotian's behavior is to pretend to be chaotic, he is not the boss of the team, the risk must be very large, but the strong must dare to face the risk.
In the eyes of his fans, his current behavior is handsome.
The Trailblazers have already planned that if Zhang Xiaotian bursts in, he will immediately attack, regardless of whether he can pass the ball or not.
Will he pass the ball? To be precise, he didn't even plan to break in.
At the last moment, Zhang Xiaotian started, he pretended to rush inside, but in fact, he didn't take a step at all, and as soon as the center of gravity was retracted, Zhang Xiaotian stepped on the three-point line and pulled it up.
Domineering, bold, everyone looked to the basket.
There were no surprises, and the basketball landed safely.
At 113:111, the Warriors took the lead, and the clock was only 0.5 seconds left, which could already be regarded as a lore.
The Trail Blazers regretted that they called a timeout too early and made a 0.5-second free throw in the backcourt.
The Trail Blazers players all rushed to the Warriors' side, intending to make a last-ditch effort.
The ball was thrown directly to the basket on the Warriors' side, and the Warriors players were ready to defend, one by one, without the slightest omission.
Both, the referee's whistle blew, the Trail Blazers made free throws directly out of bounds, and the Warriors had the ball.
The Warriors' bench celebrated again, and the opponent had no chance to make a move even if it was a steal in 0.5 seconds.
As soon as the Warriors sent the ball, the game ended immediately.
It's a little later than the Cavaliers, but the Warriors are just as sweeping.
When the reporter asked about the last ball after the game, Zhang Xiaotian said calmly, "This is the team's tactics, and I communicated with Stephen." ”
The team won, no one will tear down the stage, and Curry also said that the two are just communicating normally.
"At that moment we had a variety of options and we took one of them and then we won the game and Stephen and Zhang were very good players and their performances gave the team the victory," Kerr said. ”
"We're looking forward to the Western Conference Finals, they're all experienced players, and we're going to do everything we can to win, no matter what team we're playing against."
The Trail Blazers' players weren't in a good mood as the swept side, and Lillard said they would come back next year and it would be a different result.
To be honest, they didn't have Aldridge this season, and it's good to be here, but the Warriors are too strong.
And for the Warriors and Cavaliers, who have achieved the same record, neither is talking directly about each other now.
"We need to face the next opponent first, otherwise it's disrespectful." Cole said.
It is true that the next opponent must be considered first, whether it is the Spurs or the Thunder, it is easy to get along, but the player will still look forward to the Finals in private.
Just like Yang Feiyu in the fan base, he is discussing Zhang Xiaotian's fourth championship ring with others. Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find?
