Chapter 568: Keep the Pioneers Out
The Trail Blazers slowed down and chased four points.
Aldridge, who slowed down, was really good, and his mid-range shot was very stable.
Although Chandler is a top blue-collar worker, there is still nothing he can do in the face of this kind of technical center who does not like to impact the basket.
Lillard is also very sharp in positional battles, and his three-point shot by covering one step is really similar to Curry, and he feels good today.
The Splash Brothers are fighting back......
Don't you want to slow down? Then Lao Tzu will raise the speed!
Just after Aldridge wasted half of his energy and finally scored a two-point shot, Turkoglu served quickly, and Zhou Yang and Curry were left and right, and they had already reached the halfway line.
Turkoglu looked at Zhou Yang, but threw the ball to Curry.
Curry passed half the court and before he reached the three-point line, he threw the ball out!
Swish!
Three-point hit!
Then the Trail Blazers attacked, and the Warriors suddenly wrapped Aldridge in the bag.
Because Aldridge hit consecutive hits just now, he didn't want to pass the ball, but the ball was cut off by Toni Allen.
After breaking the ball, Toni Allen made another long pass and passed it directly to Zhou Yang on the left side.
Zhou Yang made a three-point feint and deceived Batum, and then Zhou Yang went to the basket and dunked with a tomahawk!
Bang!
The Warriors scored five points in less than 13 seconds on these two offenses.
Lillard was a little out of breath.
The Trail Blazers attacked, and he also wanted to shoot a three-pointer from beyond range.
But with Curry's interference, his three-pointer missed, and the rebound was grabbed by Chandler, who launched a fast break again.
Chandler was smart enough to pass the ball to Tony Allen when he saw that Zhou Yang and Curry were following closely.
Although Tony Allen is a defensive stalwort, his fast break is not weak.
In addition, the opponent's defensive strength is all with the Splash Brothers, so Tony Allen ran all the way, and there was no one to defend.
In the end, Matthews reacted and chased after him.
Tony Allen didn't get any stronger and dribbled to near the bottom corner.
Zhou Yang suddenly started, knocked Batum away, killed in the penalty area, and pointed up with his right hand......
Tony Allen was quick and threw the ball straight to the basket.
Those who are familiar with James know that his empty dunks are very explosive, and he has no requirements for the quality of passes.
As long as you throw it out, I'll dunk it in!
Zhou Yang is similar, you just throw it away, and I will adjust my pace and jump height by myself.
Bang!
Zhou Yang jumped high and smashed the ball into the basket, Batum could only watch it, and couldn't stop it at all!
Under the acceleration of the Splash Brothers, the Pioneers couldn't stand it.
Aldridge wasn't a runner-and-jump insider, and after a few runs back and forth, he gasped for breath and couldn't run.
There was no way, Trail Blazers head coach Stottes had to call a timeout to give Aldridge a break.
With a margin of 17 points, the Trail Blazers are in a dangerous situation.
Pioneer fans at the Rose Garden Arena with despair on their faces.
They couldn't believe that this year's playoffs were so far off.
After the timeout, Aldridge rested and replaced Joel, a backup centre-forward.
After Joel came up, not to mention, he was only 2.07 meters tall, but he could run and jump, and he cooperated with Lillard quite tacitly.
The scores of the two sides began to stalemate.
At the end of the third quarter, the score of the two teams was 84-71, and the Warriors led by 13 points.
There was little hope for the Trail Blazers, as the Warriors went into the fourth quarter with the lead and never lost.
Even in the face of the Thunder, the Clippers have never been reversed, let alone the Trail Blazers.
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Splash Brothers teamed up to expand the point difference to 25+, and the Trail Blazers finally surrendered.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Trail Blazers 107-91 on the road, completely keeping the Trail Blazers out of the playoffs.
Regardless of how the Rockets and Thunder are playing, the Trail Blazers are saying goodbye to the playoffs.
After the game, although Lillard was disappointed, he still came over to say hello to Zhou Yang generously.
"Second Brother Yang, you are so ruthless, can't you let us go?"
Lillard is kidding, the greatest respect among NBA players is to give it their all.
Zhou Yang smiled, "I don't dare to let you enter the playoffs, you will eliminate us!"
Lillard was amused by Zhou Yang, lightly hammered Zhou Yang, and said with a smile: "You still know how to speak, alas, come on!" I hope you can win three times in a row!"
Zhou Yang knows that guidance is a sincere blessing.
"Thank you, we will cheer up, don't worry, as long as you stick to it, with the Trail Blazers' lineup, we will continue to improve, and we will definitely be able to enter the playoffs next year!"
After listening to Zhou Yang's blessing, Lillard was also greatly moved, and hugged Zhou Yang tightly again......
In the other game, the Thunder defeated the Rockets without suspense.
As a result, the Thunder remain second in the West, and the Rockets are in eighth place in the West, finally catching the last train to the playoffs.
The regular season of the East and West is over, and the rankings are as follows:
The Eastern Conference quarterfinals are the Miami Heat, New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers, Indiana Pacers, Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Bulls, Atlanta Hawks, and Boston Celtics.
The top eight in the West are the Golden State Warriors, Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Clippers, San Antonio Spurs, Denver Nuggets, Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Lakers, and Houston Rockets.
In the first round, the Warriors will face the Rockets.
In another parallel world, Harden left the Thunder and came to the Rockets because of the millions of dollars in the detonator, where he reached the peak of his career.
But in this parallel world, Harden stayed with the Thunder, and the Rockets didn't have a very prominent star.
Although Jeremy Lin has Lin's crazy aura and played good team basketball in the Rockets, the Rockets' overall talent is insufficient, and the media and fans are not optimistic about them.
Zhou Yang and Jeremy Lin had several exchanges in private.
Because he crossed over, he was no longer surprised by Lin Madness, and Zhou Yang got in touch with Lin Crazy before he was crazy.
But Zhou Yang didn't bother Shuhao's lifeline, let him develop on his own, and finally went to the Rockets.
Without Harden, Lin has a lot of crazy balls, and he uses his speed and reasonable style of play to make the Rockets players twist into a rope and play with great resilience.
The Rockets came to Golden State, and Jeremy Lin and Zhou Yang met in advance.
Zhou Yang likes Jeremy Lin very much, because before he crossed over, Jeremy Lin was old and injured, and he was about to retire.
Until his retirement, Jeremy Lin has not had any scandals, and he has always been polite, which makes Zhou Yang admire him.
Zhou Yang invited Shuhao to his home and made two dishes for him himself.
"Second Brother Yang, I envy you so much, you are really the pride of the Chinese!"
