The Trail Blazers know that no team has ever been able to come back from 3-0 down to advance, so in other words, they now have a solid ticket to the Finals and just need one more win. www.biquge.info In their opinion, the whole Thunder team should have little fighting spirit.

McMillan didn't see a change in everyone's mentality, after all, everyone did their best as usual in the training session, and there was no slackening. Even the occasional slack was seen by him as a sequelae of excessive fatigue after three series, and he didn't think much of it. It seems that the managers may need to take more psychology courses so that it may be easier for them to coach the team.

The contempt for the opponent and their own slackness caused the Trail Blazers to fall to the bottom at the beginning of Game 4, and before McMillan could react, the Thunder had already played a wave of 15-0 under Durant's leadership, and the Thunder fans cheered for the home team's good form. It's clear that the Thunder don't intend to sit still, and even if they are eventually eliminated, they hope to be able to tie the Trail Blazers to a tie-break, and of course it would be better if they could break the 0-3 curse.

Although the start of the previous game was not much different from this one, McMillan's rebuke did not have the same effect as before. The strings in the hearts of the Trail Blazers players have been loosened, and it will be difficult to get them to tighten up quickly. Even if they were scolded by the head coach, few of the players on the field really came to their senses, maybe they also sounded the alarm in their hearts, but they couldn't play a decent performance, even if they fell behind by double digits at the beginning.

On the Thunder's side, Durant exploded into his own small universe, and he didn't focus on scoring like he did in the first three games, he would pass the ball to his teammates after attracting defense, and Ibaka and Sefolosha both got his assists. Westbrook is not far behind, and he is finally starting to play like a real point guard, rather than a point guard. Driven by the two of them, Thunder's all-or-nothing gamble actually achieved good results.

McMillan was a little angry, he didn't expect his players to perform so badly when they got the series match point, and besides, the team reached the Finals last season, and he always thought that there was no shortage of Trail Blazers players in terms of mentality. But after thinking about it, it seems that last season did not play so smoothly, especially in such an important stage as the Western Conference Finals, after leading the opponent 3-0, it was a little inflated, after all, this is also a Young Guard.

In fact, McMillan would have liked to use the bench to replace the starters as a punishment, but he didn't have the courage to do so. The Thunder's main lineup has clearly played to their level, and putting the bench on the bench is just a delivery. But he could have replaced a few of them, such as Aldridge, who looked languid and had no desire to attack, and Cunningham, who was not as stalker-like as before.

The internal reasons for these two men are very different, Aldridge himself is relatively peaceful, or weak, and when the opponent shows a tough attitude, it is difficult for him to play at a normal level. As for Cunningham, the most critical problem is that he is still too young, as a rookie, his ambition is obviously not qualified, and his previous performance is just a normal reaction of a person taking on a big role at the beginning, and it is not bad to be able to maintain three games.

After replacing Camby and Batum, the Trail Blazers' lineup on the court was really much better, but they still couldn't resist the Thunder's bombardment, and they were already behind by more than 20 points at halftime. This is very incredible for the Trail Blazers who are leading 3-0, and if anyone walks onto the court now, he must think that the two sides on the scoreboard have made a mistake, shouldn't it be the Trail Blazers who are leading by a big score?

The reporters in the media box were also surprised, from the first three games it was obvious that the overall strength of the Trail Blazers was superior, and McMillan's lineup was also full of highlights, but now the fact is that the Trail Blazers were pressed to the ground by the Thunder and beat violently, and they don't know why.

A handful of commentators, who were also embarrassed, were embarrassed by the pre-game coverage that the Trail Blazers could beat the Thunder 4-0 to reach the Finals for the second year in a row. Now it seems that the possibility of reaching the finals is still very high, but the score on the field has made their analysis of 4-0 a joke, although the media has never had any discipline at all, but it is also a very embarrassing thing to be slapped in the face immediately after the report.

In the locker room, McMillan was no longer in the mood to curse, watching the players sit there silently with their heads covered with large towels, and had to swallow a dirty word when it reached their throats. It's useless to scold now, and the Thunder's performance shows that they are in full swing, and such an unusual opponent may not be able to win even if the Trail Blazers try their best, not to mention that their morale has now dropped to an unbelievable level.

In addition, this is the Chesapeake Energy Arena, and it is difficult for every team to play at home, so in order to ensure that the team can advance smoothly, McMillan made a decision, which is to strategically abandon this game, and by the way, let the main players reflect on it and see where they are not good enough. Although he did not say the decision publicly, when he announced his starting line-up for the second half, everyone knew what the manager was going to do.

Every starter was ashamed, knowing it was because they were so bad that the manager had to give up the game. More ashamed than others is Ye Feng, as the leader of the team, he completely failed to stand up and guide his teammates, and even did not contribute much on both offensive and defensive ends, which is not what a number one star should do. Ye Feng didn't have any complaints about the head coach's behavior of replacing him, he knew that it was his own doing, watching the substitutes being abused by the Thunder on the court, he secretly clenched his fists, at least this is not a tie-break, and the team still has a high probability of qualifying.

In the end, the Thunder won 131-102 on their home court by 29 points, bringing the score to 1-3. Although everyone thought it was just the Thunder's death throes, they at least gave themselves a life and avoided the embarrassment of being shaved bald.
