Chapter 377: Trouble Away

When the Warriors went to the next game, the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Raptors and the Heat also began.

The two teams were close in strength, and the game was extremely intense.

However, the state of the Raptors' two guns is still a bit confused, especially Lowry, who only scored a measly 7 points in the whole game, and it is a shame for an All-Star level player to play like this.

However, Lowry hit a three-pointer at the end of the fourth quarter to drag the game into overtime, but in overtime, Wade, who can already be called a veteran, told everyone what a real All-Star is.

Wade scored seven points in overtime to seal the win and give the Heat a prized away game.

However, their group is fierce, but their strength is relatively weak among the four groups, and the attention is far less than that of teams such as the Warriors.

Like the Warriors, the Cavaliers are significantly stronger than their opponents in the second round of the playoffs.

On May 4, the Cavaliers led by 36 points at the home half to defeat the Hawks.

The Cavaliers were on fire from the outside, shooting 25-of-45 three-pointers from the field, 18 in the half, and 10 in the quarter, setting an NBA playoff record for three-pointers in a single quarter, half, and game.

It's not that the eagles are stupid and sweet, but that they have met a rampaging opponent.

This season, the Eagles' outside defense has been much worse, and this game is exposed.

They didn't have the right players up front to limit James, and the series was arguably expected to end.

The Warriors ended their last series early, and now they have enough rest, but other teams don't have this treatment, and the Heat and Raptors have a day off and start playing again.

They are all grabbing seven in front of them, and now they don't have enough rest time in order to catch up with the schedule, and if they don't have the strength to play the playoffs, they must have physical strength, so they should go home as soon as possible.

The strength of the two teams is really close, and this time it was fought until overtime.

This time it was the Heat who dragged the game into overtime, and in the end it was they who lost the game, and the common denominator of these two games was that they barely got into overtime or died.

Well, the feel of this two-gun has recovered a bit.

They are the real core and whether the team can win or not depends on their ups and downs.

Wade didn't continue to be magical this time, even if he continued to have wonderful performances, Wade was still old.

Although it is not noticeably old, it is still very different from the period of disruption.

On May 6, the third battle between the Cavaliers and the Eagles took the lead.

The Eagles fought hard for three quarters, but collapsed in the final quarter.

In addition to the steady play of the Big Three, Channing Frye, who hit seven three-pointers, became the wonder of the Cavaliers.

And the Hawks lost more than two dozen rebounds, and it can only be said that they lost unjustly.

With such a performance, it can only be said that they have lost the determination to fight to the death with the knights.

On the same day, the Spurs vs. the Thunder, that was the tip of the needle vs. Maimang.

Leonard rose again, slashing 31+11 and scoring double-doubles in the crucial fourth quarter, beating Durant in the final minute to help the team regain home-court advantage.

Zhang Xiaotian was also enthusiastic to watch, and the top-level forward duel made him eager to try.

The Spurs are the best team in the league to combine team tactics and star tactics, which is where they are stronger than the Thunder.

But in terms of star ability, the Thunder are no worse than the Spurs, or even better.

The Spurs relied on a mature tactical system to have a slight advantage, but this advantage is often not as good as the stars are crazy for a few minutes, so the trend of this group of games is also unpredictable.

On May 7, the Warriors finally set off for Portland.

Curry still won't play, and while he feels like he's no longer in trouble, the team wants to be a little more secure with the lessons learned.

Anyway, the Trail Blazers don't pose much of a threat to them right now, so there's no need to fight for the health of the core.

And although the pioneers did not reach the edge of the cliff, they were already driven to a dead end.

The first game with the best chance of upset, at that time, everyone didn't know much about their respective states, and the most likely to turn the tide of the game was only the first home game, if the home advantage was useless in the first game, it didn't make sense to use the second game to be useful or not.

0:3 behind will definitely not be able to turn the tables, and the Trail Blazers will be desperate for this one.

Lillard quickly got into the groove this time, but Klay Thompson also went on a rampage in the opening stanza.

The Warriors are so terrible, although Klay Thompson almost holds the ball, it is unreasonable to shoot when he catches the ball.

Back at home, Lillard also blushed, after scoring a double-double in the first quarter, he also scored a double-double in the second quarter, and Aminu also scored a double-double.

And the Trailblazers have a few strong points, and basically they don't rest.

The Warriors are missing a main force, but they are still casual, and the rotation should be rotated.

As a result, Lillard scored five consecutive points at the end of the first half, and the Trail Blazers led by 10 points.

At halftime, the Warriors still emphasized the defensive problem.

In the absence of Curry, their offense is okay like this, but the defense of the Trail Blazers is a little bad, and the other thing is that the bench didn't play today.

There are still bonuses at home, and the Trail Blazers are more accurate on three-point points today than the Warriors.

This was still the case in the third quarter, although the Warriors targeted Lillard, but Lillard waited for the ball to go out, and the other Trail Blazers players also hit consecutive shots, and several bench players hit hundreds of shots from beyond the three-point line.

This is something that the Warriors didn't expect, as the Trail Blazers' role players hadn't shown much in the previous series and didn't expect to be forced out this time.

However, on the Warriors' side, Draymond Green's three-pointer also opened, and Zhang Xiaotian contributed several assists.

Originally, what was to be done in the third quarter was to improve defense, and most of the time the Warriors scored in the third quarter to play offensive and defensive conversions, but both teams felt good, and it suddenly became an offensive battle.

The Trail Blazers hit back-to-back shots in the final minute of the quarter, and the Warriors were not able to recover the score.

Is this going to be lost, it's nothing for them to lose one.

However, if there is a chance to win, Zhang Xiaotian is not willing to lose.

You have to know that when the team loses, unless he is not on the field, he will give it his all.

The charm of competitive sports lies in the all-out confrontation, and the reversibility of a reversal is much greater than an easy victory over a weak chicken.

Just like the Trailblazers' confidence in returning to the home court, Zhang Xiaotian's whole aura was different when he came on the court in the last quarter.

The Trail Blazers are still very cautious, except for Lillard taking a little rest, C.J. McRum and Aminu are on the court, and Plumlee is also there, but Harkless has lost the team's trust after being beaten by Zhang Xiaotian.

Now to deal with Zhang Xiaotian, they are more willing to let Aminu go, as for the slow pace, they rely on the inside line to help defend.

Zhang Xiaotian said that when he broke out, the pioneers were the same who defended him, and the half-hanger's personal single defense and half-hanger's co-defense could not stop him at all.
