Chapter 1017 No Miracles
Fortunately, the Trail Blazers can play at home. Their winning percentage at home has always been good. Their immediate goal is to win a game first, so that they will not lose the suspense of advancing too early.
On May 5, G4 in the Western Conference semifinals, Thunder VS Trail Blazers.
The Trail Blazers team is really a very unlucky team. Not to mention that they didn't choose Mr. Joe in 83. In the past 20 years alone, they have had bad luck again and again.First, Huang Mambaroy retired early due to a serious injury, and the emperor left the league sadly due to injury.The Trail Blazers veterinarian is really well-deserved. Alder and Lillard have played well, but the peak periods of the two were not together. Lillard only entered the league when Alder was at his peak.When Lillard reached his peak, Adelaide had already left, and he was no longer at his peak.
Lillard has the ability and courage of the boss, and Adelaide is the second leader of the powerful group. It was a good match, supplemented by a group of outstanding supporting roles, and there is hope to compete for the championship. Coincidentally, the group of people who reversed the Rockets back then was too poor, and they couldn't go any further after all.
Lillard is in very good form this season, and his performance since the playoffs is also in the top 5 levels of the league. He also eliminated the Rockets led by the light bulb combination.It's a pity that even encountering Lei Ting led by Xie Kai, his life was not good.Of course, even if they meet the Warriors, there is no drama. This is also a trick of fate, and they have met a historical team.
Many people are talking about how awesome Jordan was in that era, there was no group phenomenon, but you must know that at that time, every team only had a star, and some teams didn't have any. Jordan was surrounded by Pippen, one of the league's 50 superstars. As a deputy, so building a dynasty isn't really that hard.
If Jordan is allowed to face today's Thunder and Warriors with a single core, it may be normal to be swept away.
In this game, the Trail Blazers have changed!They removed Kanter, who played poorly on the defensive end in the first two games, and let Leonard start.
Bai Leonard's defense is actually not very good. Although his surname is Leonard, his defense cannot be compared with facial paralysis.His characteristic is that he can move in the paint, and then he has a shot.
In today's league, inside players don't shoot. You are either a defensive gate, able to eat cakes, protect the frame and grab boards, otherwise it is really difficult to mix.Just look at Howard. The former World of Warcraft is now a wandering player.
Coach Stotts' change of formation was also a helpless move. Of course, he also knew that Leonard White could not change the current situation between the two sides.
But staying the same is death, changing, maybe there will be a turning point.Responding to all changes with the same, that is the dominant party.
At the beginning of the game, the Trail Blazers played fiercely.Everyone knows that this is a game of life and death, and the first quarter is like the last.
The Thunder team starts with defense, and the offense is more cautious. Even if I don’t have a good opportunity, I will not pass the ball easily and take risks. I will not give you an easy counterattack opportunity, even for 24 seconds.
Xie Kai is very clear, one go at a time and then decline, three times exhausted, big brother, can you last a whole game with this kind of chicken blood?
Xie Kai's guess was correct. After the Blazers failed to bomb wildly in the first quarter, they slowly slowed down later, and their attacks were not as fierce as before.
The Thunder did a good job of defending, not giving easy 3-point opportunities, strictly controlling the double guns, and letting other role players beat me.
The Trail Blazers' role players can shoot outside, but they can't hit consecutively, and they can't digest a lot of ball possessions, which makes their offense lack continuity.
The Thunder slowly ate away at the Trail Blazers' lead, little by little, and by the second half of the third quarter, they had overtaken them.
After the Trail Blazers were overtaken, they seemed a little impatient and made more mistakes.The Thunder seized the opportunity and counterattacked continuously to open the score.
In the final quarter of the game, Lillard's superb 3-pointer approached the score several times, but in the end he still failed to catch up.Xie Kai's consecutive scoring at critical moments helped the Thunder maintain their advantage until the end.
After the game, the Thunder had a 3-0 lead and were only one game away from reaching the Western Conference Finals for the fourth consecutive season.
This game is over, and this round of the series is basically a conclusion.If anyone still thinks that the Blazers can reverse the Thunder 4:3, then he is not a basketball fan at all.
Even Lillard is no longer giving interviews, so what else can he say?Say they can be reversed?It is meaningless to say these things now, and no one will believe them. He said that these things have no effect other than recruiting gangsters.
The Trail Blazers don't have any big changes to use. They have already taken Kanter in this game, but it still doesn't have much effect.The two guns cannot be moved, so even if they need to adjust in the fourth game, it is nothing more than adjusting the inside line.It's not impossible to adjust the front line, but at most it's putting Hood or Turner in the starting lineup. Both of them have their own flaws.Hood's offense is confusing and unstable, and his defense is not as good as Aminu and Harkless.As for Turner, he can indeed organize, but his long-range shooting is obviously weak. Once he gets up, the Thunder will be desperate to pinch two guns and let him shoot 4-pointers.
In today's NBA league, insiders with shooting shortcomings are targeted in this way, and if they are guards or strikers, they are targeted to death.
The Thunder are in dire straits, but the Warriors are in trouble.
Although the Warriors lead 2:1 on a big score, the team's main scorer Durant injured his calf, and it seems that he needs to rest for a while.
There are reports that Durant has injured his Achilles tendon and may have been reimbursed for the season.The Warriors officially denied this.They said that Durant only had a calf strain, no Achilles tendon problems, and no season reimbursement.
Of course, whoever said it is true, this largely determines the fate of the Warriors this season.Although it is difficult for them to win the 7-game series against the Thunder, without Durant, their chances of winning will become even lower.In any case, Durant is one of the few points where they can gain an advantage in the matchup.And he is a special character, which is true for both the Thunder and the Warriors. If he really doesn't play, then if these two teams meet in the Western Conference Finals, there will be a lot less stories.
But injuries are something that cannot be determined by human consciousness. It really depends on luck sometimes, because it is really hard to say.Of course, tolerance is also an aspect, because James is rarely injured, you can't say that he played too few games.
Xie Kai is also very good in terms of attendance. Except for the 2015-16 season when he was reimbursed, the attendance rate in the rest of the seasons is over 9%.For a historical superstar, it is difficult for you to get a lot of honors if you are not durable enough.
