On April 24, the fourth game between the Spurs and the Trail Blazers began.

This is the last chance for the Trail Blazers, and Nurkic has not been able to play, and everyone knows that their hopes are very slim.

In the locker room, Zhang Xiaotian and everyone gathered around to cheer, "End it early and win the game." ”

The opponent in the first round of the playoffs is not a threat to them, but for Zhang Xiaotian, it is also an opponent that needs to be defeated after returning to the Spurs.

The other two first-tier teams were swept smoothly, how could they be surprised.

The other players of the Spurs are naturally in the same mood, and the league is also a river and lake, and they are unwilling to be left behind.

So the Trail Blazers felt the excitement of the Spurs from the beginning and quickly got into the groove, which is very little for the Spurs.

The Trail Blazers' starting five tigers were beaten to a pulp, and Zhang Xiaotian kept a clean sheet against C.J. McRum in the first half, if it weren't for the opposing bench players and Lillard's ruthlessness, the game would have ended in two quarters.

Even if the Trail Blazers didn't give up resistance, the Spurs took a double-digit lead in the first half.

The atmosphere in the locker room between the two sides at halftime was completely different, and the Trail Blazers were horribly silent, although they didn't want to leave like this, but they were already on the edge of a cliff, and the score was behind, which was a huge pressure for everyone.

Facing the Spurs, who have the best record in the league, even if they have a hard mouth, they can't hold on.

Lillard gritted his teeth, he didn't want to lose like that, but the team's fighting spirit was dashed by the Spurs' stormy start to the game.

Facing Zhang Xiaotian, who cut 15+5+5 in a single quarter, Lillard had no choice, and for the first time he felt that it was a pity that he didn't study defense well.

In the second half, Lillard desperately tried to chase points, but the Spurs have become very cautious at this time, and the defense is leaky, even if he can be better than any of the Spurs' No. 1 position, basketball is a five-person sport.

Besides, as long as his physical strength drops slightly, the Spurs can solve the problem by switching Danny Green.

In the third quarter, Lillard tried his best and did not recover the score, and finally became disheartened.

In the final quarter, his core was no longer in spirit, and the Spurs easily won the game and swept the Trail Blazers 4-0.

Zhang Xiaotian scored a triple-double of 35 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, and the Vicky was also a great joy after the game, "In my opinion, Zhang Xiaotian is now the best player in the league, the best player at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and he plays too well." ”

Zhang Xiaotian was in a good mood and gave face to his opponent, "It was a tough game, the Trail Blazers are a very good team, they are tough, and every ball is fighting. Luckily we got through, we did a good job of opening up the space and moving the ball out, so we got the win. ”

"No matter who the opponent is, there's one thing we have to do, and that's to win."

Lillard was also very helpless after the game, "I never want to go out of the game like us, I'm disappointed." ”

'They're a championship team and playing against them and they're very consistent. It doesn't matter if they're ahead or behind, they just keep playing and keep playing their basketball. They played very relaxed and united. They understand the game very well, and combined with their talent, it's hard to beat them. ”

"For us, you don't want to admit to learning from them. But you want that cohesion, that understanding, to play smoothly. You want you to do the same, to have the same trust as them. You want your team to do the same, and you have to know that if you want to get out of the West, you have to beat them. ”

"It's always been like this in the league, and I remember the Pistons were always in front of Jordan, kicking him in the ass every year, and if he wanted to succeed, he had to beat them. We have to understand this and improve ourselves. If we want to beat them, we have to improve and the team has to get better. ”

There are no dark horses in this year's playoffs, and the three strongest teams are overwhelming, but there are also teams that play very intensely.

Among them, the Wizards and the Hawks, who were slower, once again defended their home court and tied the overall score at 2-2.

The Wizards' excellent two-gun play did not prevent the Hawks from scoring double-doubles, and the Hawks played a trace of the style of the first place in the East in this game.

"We've got to keep going, now it's just how we're going to fight back, how we're going to bounce back, we've had a lot of ups and downs, we've been trying to chase points in the fourth quarter, we've been trying to chase points or overcome," Bill said after the game. We spend all our time and energy chasing points, and then time is consumed. ”

Wizards head coach Scott Brooks said the foul on the team's big man Morris has an impact on them and hopes the players can play better in the upcoming games.

"Looking at these games, I've seen two very good teams, they're evenly matched, they're both fighting for the playoffs, and today we made a lot of mistakes on the defensive end and a lot of difficult shots on the offensive end," he lamented. ”

After the Cavaliers advanced, the game between the Raptors and the Bucks was the beginning of G5.

The Raptors didn't say how good they played, but they revitalized the whole team, and the Raptors scored six double-doubles, relying on rebounds and team advantages to win the match point.

The Raptors removed the big center in these two games and played one big and four small, which really made the Bucks a little uncomfortable.

After the game, Raptors coach Casey praised his disciple Powell's outstanding performance in an interview, and after the team should play a small lineup, Powell, who was promoted to the starter, performed well and was an important player for the Raptors to win the game.

"He's a spark plug, he's the x-factor. There were many times when there was concern about the performance of DeRozan and Lowry, so Powell was rightfully the next spark plug, the next player to break out, and the next demagogue. He's been the X-factor in this series. The next series, the next game, we might have a different story. He did his job well next to Lowry and DeRozan and did the game to give him the opportunity, whether it was a three-point shot or an attack on the basket. ”

Bucks coach Kidd said the Bucks are learning how to respond in the series.

"We don't have the experience to deal with what happens next, we can talk about it, but we have to go through the process. We have to go through this door. For many of the team's players, they have never seen anything like it. You're talking about a team that has made it to the Eastern Conference Finals, they've made it to the Eastern Conference Finals. You're now 2-3 down and you have to get back home and try to hold on to your home and drag the series into a tiebreaker. The sixth fight is the only thing we can focus on right now, and we have to be desperate and hungry for victory. ”

The Bucks Core Alphabet Song also said, "I think it's a learning process for us. After such a terrible big defeat, you'll keep this game in your mind for the next two days. This will make you hungrier, angrier and better prepared for Game 6 of the series. "Reading a book and finding the latest chapters by yourself?
