Chapter 379: The Similarity of the East and the West
The speed of the old grandfather, grinding to the last moment to face the defense strongly, is it too strong confidence or a hole in the brain.
Everyone looked confused, except for Zhang Xiaotian's die-hard fans.
His hardcore have been brainwashed, and they feel that any decision made by Zhang Xiaotian is handsome and far-sighted.
They were never afraid of slapping their faces, because Zhang Xiaotian hit strongly again.
Lore, Zhang Xiaotian beat the Trailblazers away and helped the team grab the match point.
Zhang Xiaotian smiled slightly, there are plug-ins, he is so capricious.
With 29 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, Zhang Xiaotian finally scored a triple-double in the playoffs, and his performance in these games was definitely MVP-level.
Terry Stottes was depressed after the game, "We had a chance, the players did a good job and I was responsible for the loss. ”
"The series isn't over yet." Lillard said through gritted teeth.
Zhang Xiaotian is obviously very happy, "The triple-double was a great experience, but I am even happier to help the team win the game, we had difficulties, but we overcame them in time. ”
On the same day that the Warriors got the match point, the Raptors and Heat fought until the last minute.
The Raptors won the third game, and there was no overtime, and according to the urine nature, the Raptors must have played a different game.
It was Lowry who exploded in the second half, and when there was no sense of presence in the first half, Lowry seemed to be a different person in the second half, scoring 29 points in the second quarter and 33 points in the whole game, helping the team win the Heat away.
There was no overtime, but it was more intense, with both defensive centre-forwards going off injured.
Valanciunas and Whiteside are important to their respective teams and may not be at pain.
And Wade, who broke out more thoroughly than Lowry, did not get the support of his teammates and scored 38 points.
As for the game between the Cavaliers and the Hawks, although the whole game was very intense, it was the Cavaliers who seized the opportunity at the last moment, narrowly defeated the Hawks by 1 point, and took the lead in sweeping the opponent 4:0 to enter the Eastern Conference Finals.
Three-pointers became the most surprising part of the series, and in the previous three games, the Cavaliers shot more than 15 three-pointers in each game, setting an NBA record, and in one of them even made 25 shots, even breaking the regular season record. Today, the Cavaliers kept that hot touch, hitting more than 15 three-pointers again, and doing it in four straight games, which is not only a playoff record, but even in the regular season, no team has been able to do it before.
And the Big Three don't seem to have done their best, they all played steadily in every game, and the number of shots was about the same, which is not the characteristic of the Cavaliers going all out.
In the other semifinals of the West, the Thunder and Spurs are still facing each other.
Durant scored 41 points in this game and scored 17 points in the final quarter to lead the team to a comeback over the Spurs.
Leonard pressed Durant on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends in the first half, but was completely blown out in the second half.
Durant, who is full of firepower, is worthy of the name of death, and the total score of the two teams has become 2:2.
It wasn't just Leonard, Aldridge was also very limited in the second half.
Overall defense isn't the Thunder's strong suit, but they did a better job than the Spurs.
Among them, Leonard and Aldridge, the two new cores of the Spurs, are familiar to them, and because of the aging of GDP, Duncan, the Spurs' pillar of many years, was said to be old a few years ago, but this time it is true.
There is a faint sadness among Spurs fans, and they hope that Popovich can make effective adjustments and lead the Spurs to the Western Conference finals and win the championship, telling them that the Spurs are the strongest even if they change the old and the new.
On May 9, the fourth game between the Warriors and the Trail Blazers began.
The Cavaliers have swept their opponents, and Warriors fans naturally want the team to perform like this.
Curry is finally back, but he won't start this game yet.
Although there is no problem with training in the team, the team still feels that it is better to be cautious and slowly warm up from the rotation time.
As soon as the game began, Lillard was desperate, and he should have really been unwilling.
It's good not to admit defeat, but it's useless to be angry, and you have to practice more kung fu under your hands, such as defense or something, if you can't dominate both offensive and defensive ends, you can't become a top All-Star.
Of course, if there is an accident, his name can only be Curry.
The Trail Blazers fought harder than they played, and their determination was truly admirable.
On the road, the Warriors are still as slow as ever, and the opponent is leading under the advantages of the other.
Zhang Xiaotian is also playing more and more focused, and he admits that he underestimated his opponent a little before the series, and if he didn't work hard, the result of the game might really be different.
In the first half, the Trail Blazers were all-in, and both guns were on fire, and they once again led the Warriors by 10 points.
At halftime, Warriors head coach Kerr was unhappy with his team's defense.
Draymond Green is the primary target of criticism, the Warriors are not unable to defend, but too prodigal, always subconsciously becoming very casual in the offensive and defensive segments.
The Warriors, who have been on a small lineup most of the time, would have dropped their defense by at least two notches if Draymond Green hadn't been guarded at this point.
In the playoffs, it's deadly.
The first adjustment in the second half was Curry's return to the starting lineup, and it was similar for a crazy Curry like Lillard to come to the lineup, but Curry was a bit wasted playing in the rotation.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Warriors were much more serious, and Kerr's temper was a little scary.
Curry was still adjusting his touch, but Klay Thompson, who didn't feel well in the first half, returned to normal.
But it's more normal for Draymond Green, it should be said that Kerr learned a lesson, and this thing will be enlightened, don't look at him with a sideways face, but he is very obedient to the coach, often loosening the skin, and ensuring that it is easy to use.
With four blocks in a single quarter, Draymond Green not only limited Aminu on a single defense, but also helped defend in time and covered the Trail Blazers.
The rest of the Warriors are very despised, this is a joke that can be done to this extent, why did they be lazy before and made them so tired to play.
Under the Warriors' sudden three-notch defense, the Trail Blazers smashed the offensive end and fell into a quagmire.
And the Warriors players just played normally, and easily recovered the score and overtook it.
In fact, Draymond Green is also a bit overperforming, and the Trail Blazers have not adapted to being stunned.
Before the start of the fourth quarter, although Coach Terry Stouts wanted to scold, the words still turned into encouragement, and at this time, he was afraid that the team would be taken away by the Warriors in a few minutes.
There's nothing to say at this time, don't even think about resting with either gun, play all 48 minutes, if you don't win like this, you really can't let any coach come.
The Warriors maintained their pride and let Zhang Xiaotian take the bench first.
But the reality is sometimes cruel, and you can't take advantage of it by opening all the hole cards.
