Chapter 1111 Scored Three Scores
The Trail Blazers played the Pelicans in a thrilling third game, and the fans' discussions after the game were also noisy.
Although the score was 0 to 3 behind, some people analyzed the point difference between the two sides in the series and found that it was less in each game.
It will be difficult for the Trail Blazers to win this series, but if they continue to play according to this pattern, they have a good chance of winning the series.
Most likely it will be at the next home court.
Two days later, with the fans' expectations, the fourth game of the series between the Pelicans and Trail Blazers continued at the Moda Center.
Fans were looking forward to the Trail Blazers' performance tonight, but the process and results of the game exceeded their expectations.
The Pelicans played the league's top defense in this game, and it can be seen that Stevens is not satisfied with the team's defense in the past few games.
Tang Tian was switched to guard McCrum, who was taught how to behave all night.
Lillard, on the other hand, enjoyed being double-teamed all over the court and was mostly pushed into offensive areas where he was uncomfortable.
As a result, the game lost suspense before the third quarter was played.
Lillard played his worst game in the series under high-pressure defense, scoring only 20 points and 6 assists on 7-for-27 shooting.
McCrum was even worse. He only took 10 shots in the game and scored 9 points on 3 of 10 shots.
The two guns turned into garbage brothers, and the Trail Blazers also defeated the Pelicans 73 to 100.
Following the Spurs, the Trail Blazers were also swept out by the Pelicans.
But Trail Blazers fans are obviously happier than Spurs fans.
Although it was also a sweep, their home team at least had a back-and-forth with the Pelicans, and even had hope of winning.
The Pelicans swept the Trail Blazers and became the first team to advance to the conference finals.
In the other three groups of matches, except for the Raptors, who struggled to win one away game and rewrite the score to 1-3 to avoid being swept, the other two groups were all in a fierce battle.
The Mavericks relied on Embiid's heroic performance in Tianwang Mountain to score 30 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists. They won the game 3-2 and got the match point.
Following the Rockets, the Warriors are likely to be eliminated early.
Also in danger are the Cavaliers.
After the Nets won the first game in an upset, they were defeated by the Cavaliers two games in a row.
But they held on to the last home game and tied the score at 2-2.
After four games, bo7 became bo3, and they still had a chance.
And for the Cavaliers, a very crucial news broke after the game.
According to Paul George's agent, Aaron Mintz, the reason why George's performance in the playoffs so far is so sluggish is because he has been troubled by a shoulder injury shortly after the start of the regular season. For the sake of the team's record, he has been choosing Treat conservatively rather than surgically.
After this news was exposed, it caused a lot of heated discussion among fans on social media.
And the news was exposed at this time, which seems very intriguing.
George is in a contract year, and Cleveland is not the city he wants to come to.
His consecutive poor performance has affected his free agency situation next year.
In other words, by breaking the news at this time, we are saving ourselves.
But this is not a good thing for the Cavaliers.
Now that they know the reason for George's sluggish performance, their opponents can relax their defense of George, especially his shooting.
For the Cavaliers, this season's five-star lineup should have been their best chance to win the championship.
But no one expected that it would be like this in the playoffs. It can only be said that the Cavaliers perfectly interpreted the phrase "paper strength does not represent actual strength" with their actions.
Now, it seems that they can only rely on James to support themselves.
The most pitiful person is Cavaliers owner Gilbert.
The team spent money year after year, and the luxury tax increased year by year, but in the end they found that the championship was getting further and further away.
There is no harm without comparison. Although the Pelicans suffered the tragedy of their boss passing away due to illness, for new boss Gale Benson, she is the happiest.
The Pelicans continued their excellent form in the regular season, crushing them all the way, and now they are even more leisurely, just waiting for the winner of the Mavericks and Warriors.
The playoffs between the Mavericks and the Warriors have completely entered a fever pitch.
After the Mavericks won Tianwangshan, the four-star Warriors were once again pushed to the edge of the cliff after last year.
But this time they didn't step off the cliff directly, and the person who pulled them back was not Curry or Durant, but Thompson.
G6 soup.
Last year, Thompson also showed his strength in G6, but unfortunately he met Tang Tian.
But the Mavericks didn't have Tang Tian, and they couldn't stop Thompson's rampage.
Thompson scored 9 three-pointers and scored 40 points to help the Warriors regain the victory.
The two teams will usher in a tiebreaker!
Because the Pelicans' game is over, this tiebreaker has become the focus of all fans' attention.
Including the Pelicans.
Stevens also organized the team to watch the live broadcast of the game.
The Cavaliers' performance in the playoffs is poor, and the Pelicans will most likely play the Bucks in the finals, which have been abused countless times before.
In other words, the Western Conference Finals will be the most difficult hurdle on their way to completing their dynasty.
Whether it is the Mavericks or the Warriors, they are much stronger than the previous Spurs and Trail Blazers.
Especially their goal is to win the championship.
So it makes sense to watch this tiebreaker.
The Mavericks and Warriors will definitely give everything they have to win, and their tactics will definitely be exposed.
"Which one of them do you think will win?"
Green always liked to ask Tang Tian this question when he was with the Spurs. Now with the Pelicans, Walker has taken over the baton.
"Who do you want to win?"
Tang Tian did not answer, but asked Walker a question.
"Dallas, Jimmy would love to hit them."
Walker thought for a moment and said.
Tang Tian nodded, saying that their friendship as hard-working brothers was indeed beyond the scope of ordinary friends.
Especially when everyone is a multi-millionaire.
Sure enough, people flock together and things flock together.
"I do hope the Warriors win."
After Tang Tian nodded, he gave a different answer than Walker.
Walker looked at Tang Tian curiously.
"In my country, there is an idiom called scoring twice."
Walker was even more confused. He was obviously not Olsen. He didn't know what the idiom was, and he didn't know what scoring twice meant.
"The translated meaning is to do something successfully twice in a row."
Fortunately, Tang Tian's subsequent explanation made him understand.
The Pelicans have defeated the Warriors before, and if they win again, they will score twice.
"But this time, I want to score three times."
Tang Tian continued.
In fact, playing a game, especially an unabashed game like the playoffs, is just like scoring twice.
Every time you do it, you will understand more and more deeply, and it will go more smoothly.
