Chapter 1105 Portland Trail Blazers

Lillard's remarks in the pre-game interview caused an uproar.

As a beneficiary, his attitude can be said to be unique.

You must know that even stars of James and Durant's level take advantage and remain silent on issues such as four-step layups and not going out of bounds.

In the end, Lillard was better. His cards were not as big as theirs, but his character was much bigger!

However, there are many fans supporting Lillard on social media.

This is true temperament!

No matter what you do, people with this kind of personality will like you!

This wave can be said to have greatly increased his popularity.

New York Headquarters.

"This idiot!"

Xiao Hua slammed the table continuously, his face swollen with anger.

This Lillard is really unreasonable.

He was obviously using referees to help the Trail Blazers, but you, the core player, said you didn't need it!

This feeling is just like licking your face to please you, only to be spat on!

What a shame on his part!

"Then do we still want to let the referee in this game..."

Sock knew that Xiao Hua was angry, but the game started at night, and he had to give the referee an accurate message.

"What the hell! A bunch of ungrateful bastards!"

Xiao Hua was furious.

He wants the Pelicans to lose in the playoffs, but he is not cheap!

"Let's see how many points these guys can lose without the referee!"

Xiao Hua then said viciously.

The Blazers lost by more than ten points even though the referees helped throughout the game. Counting the referee's help in the first game, they lost by more than 20 points at halftime.

If there was no referee at all in this game, he would have wanted to see if the Blazers could lose by 30 points or 40 points.

If you don’t want what is given to you, then it will be useless to beg him!

Before the game between the Pelicans and Trail Blazers, the players were chatting here and there.

Bo Yang was talking about picking up girls last night, and Walker was talking to Butler about potential opponents in the next round.

The Pelicans and Trail Blazers are fighting here, and the Mavericks and Warriors are fighting fiercely over there.

The two teams are now tied at 1-1, and the Mavericks have lost their home court advantage, but the scores in both games are in single digits, and they will probably have to wait until the tiebreaker to decide the winner.

The two of them chatted until the finals.

But it’s normal for them to talk that far.

Now the East is really different from what was predicted.

The Cavaliers' playoff status is indeed too bad. Although they swept the Magic in the first round, everyone who watched the game knew that it was not easy for them to win.

As a result, something went wrong in the second round. They are now tied 1-1 with the Nets.

No matter what five-star lineup, James can't wait to kick all those teammates one by one.

The Bucks continue to be brave and have defeated the Raptors for two consecutive games.

If this situation continues, there is a high probability that the Cavaliers will be defeated by the Bucks in the Eastern Conference Finals this year. James' record of only being in the Finals for 7 consecutive years will end this year.

Tang Tian was also very interested in listening to the two of them chatting.

The Bucks' performance in the playoffs really surprised him.

"Damien is really good!"

While listening, Davis suddenly came over and said to him.

Tang Tian turned around and listened to what he said, and knew that Davis was talking about what Lillard said in the previous interview.

"That's the kind of person he is, otherwise I wouldn't be able to let George go and choose him in the All-Star Game."

Tang Tian said and gave Davis a look.

Davis laughed and nodded.

He admires tough little players like Walker and Lillard.

Now that Lillard can behave like this as an opponent, he is not only admired, but also admired.

"Tonight's game will be difficult, so be mentally prepared."

Tang Tian said and touched Davis' head.

Davis didn't resist, just nodded.

As long as Xiao Hua is not cheap, the penalty scale tonight should be normal.

And Lillard will definitely go all out after saying that.

Tonight's game will be very different from the past two games.

Moda Center can accommodate up to 19,980 people to watch the game.

In the sky above this arena, there are many division championship flags, as many as 11 retired jerseys, and a championship flag with 1976~1977 written on it.

The Trail Blazers are not the first team to join the NBA, but they also have 47 years of NBA team history.

Among the many stars in team history, Drexler and Bill Walton are the most famous representatives.

This is a team with strong historical strength, but it has not yet reached the threshold of a wealthy club.

Prior to this, what ranked them among the best in the league was owner Paul Allen's personal financial strength.

But now, it has also been replaced by Ballmer of the Clippers.

To sum up, its popularity has always been at the middle level in the league, just like Lillard's popularity now, which is neither up nor down.

The Moda Center was packed for the first home game of the conference finals.

The Pelican effect is the label phenomenon of the league this season, but here, you can hardly find Pelicans fans. The scene is a sea of ​​red.

Although the Trail Blazers have made the playoffs for five consecutive years in recent years, they have mostly failed in the first round.

However, this performance did not affect their popularity.

Lillard's overall popularity is neither up nor down, but in Portland, his popularity is absolutely phenomenal.

His character, just like the reaction of fans on social media these past two days, is too popular.

The scene was full of slogans supporting Lillard and the Trail Blazers.

This is the first time Tang Tian has played in the playoffs with the Trail Blazers since entering the league, and it is also the first time for most members of the Pelicans.

This scene was really shocking the first time I saw it.

It’s almost time for the Pelicans to play at home.

After the on-site warm-up, the starters from both sides began to appear one after another.

The starting lineups on both sides have not changed.

But this time the explosive cheers from the fans came to the home team Trail Blazers.

Lillard is here enjoying the cheers that Tang Tian had in New Orleans.

And from his eyes, you can feel a murderous aura with your naked eyes.

Lillard cannot maintain a superstar-level performance now or in the future, but his playing temperament is really not inferior to that of a superstar.

Nurkic moved the ball back to the Trail Blazers' half, officially kicking off the third game of the series between the two sides.

Lillard started playing singles with the ball, and his desire to attack seemed very strong.

However, Walker's defense was not bad, and Lillard failed to get rid of his continuous cross-steps.

At this moment, Aminu took the initiative to move to the high position and provide a pick-and-roll.

This was a change outside of tactics. Walker was blocked for a moment.

Butler quickly replaced.

The Pelicans' defense is No. 1 in the league.

However, no matter how fast the pick-and-roll changes, there is still a time difference.

With such a fleeting opportunity, Lillard pulled up the three-pointer and shot it directly!

Butler was limited by his wingspan and couldn't cover it, but he still put enough pressure on him.

"Uh-huh!"

There was a crisp sound.

Lillard withstood Butler's defensive three-pointer and hit the net.

He came out on top for the Trail Blazers!

The Moda Center cheered instantly.

The overwhelming cheers show their love for Lillard!

Just like Tang Tian said, tonight's Trail Blazers and tonight's Lillard will be different from the past two games.
