NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 270 Spurs take off, Heat lie down

After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Spurs by three points at 25:22.

During the intermission, Terry Stotts gave a passionate speech to mobilize the enthusiasm of the players, and everyone was like a chicken blood.

What champion seed...

What is the second in the West...

It seemed that it was nothing more than that. For a moment, Wang Zelin seemed to see the dawn of victory at his fingertips.

However... the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny...

After the start of the second quarter, the silent and low-key San Antonio Spurs turned into a man-eating beast, passing the ball dazzlingly, directly defeating the Trail Blazers' defensive system.

As soon as Parker and Leonard came up, they worked together to blast a 9:0 attack wave, helping the team quickly take the lead.

Although Wang Zelin and Aldridge each scored, but after Danny Green hit a three-pointer, Parker fired again and continued to score points. There was a tendency to further expand the score in one go.

The inexplicable suffocating atmosphere completely surrounded the Trail Blazers players!

After half a quarter, the Trail Blazers fell behind 47:59...

After returning to the locker room, Wang Zelin kicked the trash can violently, cursing madly in his heart.

"They are all playoff teams, how could there be such a big gap?"

He just didn't believe in this evil, and refused the coach's request to rest... Then after three quarters, he played 62:85, falling behind by 23 points!
After three quarters, it's not a big deal to enter the garbage time. The key is that Wang Zelin, who was full of anger, paid three fouls on Duncan, plus the damage caused by the two old coins Parker and Ginobili.

Therefore, he left the field early with 1 minute and 37 seconds left before the end of the third quarter.

个人数据最终定格在17分11篮板2盖帽1助攻…以及5个失误6个犯规。

At this time, Terry Stotts looked at the data and his face turned pale.

Wang Zelin fouled 6 times.

Aldridge fouled 4 times.

Batum fouled 4 times.

Lillard fouled 2 times.

Among the starting 5-man group, only Matthews fouled slightly better, only 1 time.

It may be too late.

The Optimus White Jade Pillar inside the Blazers... is gone!
Terry Stotts stared at Simavich opposite with red eyes, and only he knew the complicated emotions in his heart.

What an old fox!
Sima Weiqi: No way, you don’t really think that you can get to today’s status simply because of the No. 21 rookie, right?No way?

23 points behind and entering the final quarter, or without Wang Zelin, none of them announced the death penalty for the Trail Blazers in advance.

At this time, the fans watching this game can't help it anymore.

"The holy city must win!"

"The holy city must win!"

"..."

At the end of the game, 108:87, the Spurs won a big victory at home.

Series 1:0!

……

I lost it!

Wang Zelin finally understood the gap between his side and the Spurs.

It was also the Western Conference finals where the series swept their opponents and advanced. After a game, no matter how amateur the audience was, they could clearly feel that the Spurs and the Trail Blazers were not at the same level.

Of course, these words may be a bit exaggerated, but the pioneer generals headed by Wang Zelin really felt great pressure.

Strong pressure from a strong team at the championship seed level!
After the second round, the outside world had predicted that the best result for the Blazers would be a 2:4 sweep of the Spurs. At that time, Wang Zelin was ready to slap them in the face.

Just kidding, I am a first-time traveler, and I have a system. I won the FMVP in my rookie season and rivaled Magic Johnson. Isn't this a very reasonable plot development?

It turns out that he thought too much.

Not every traverser can have the treatment of scrapping Lu Wen's pig's feet.

The truth is, in fact, he is just a pig's foot in a certain street-fighting work by an unknown street-fighting author at a certain point.

The only good thing now is that Wang Zelin didn't talk too much before the game, at least he wasn't as unrestrained as he was when he was playing against the Nuggets. After the game, he kept his handsome face from being hit.

In fact, being able to reach the Western Conference finals in the rookie season has already exceeded the expectations of the team management, coaching staff, all players and even the fans.

Even Wang Zelin himself never imagined that his team could go so far before the start of the playoffs.

He remembers very clearly that this season's Portland Trail Blazers did not touch the threshold of the playoffs at all. They only had a record of 39 wins in the regular season.

At that time, he thought, if only through his own efforts, he could really help the team get a ticket to the top eight seats in the Western Conference, plus the indispensable rookie award of the basketball system...

As long as he can reach this level, even if he can't surpass Magic Johnson's rookie season, he can still be comparable to rookies Joe and Shark.

You must know that the rookie Lei Balong failed to lead the team into the playoffs.

Thinking of this, Wang Zelin's mood immediately improved.

I am young, I am proud, my future is the sea of ​​stars!
Anyway, after this game, he knew that there was basically no hope of winning against the Spurs. The Blazers and the Spurs were quite similar, both offensive and defensive, but they were too steady to hold back those old fritters.

This can be seen from the number of turnovers on both sides. The Spurs made only 11 turnovers in total, while the Trail Blazers made 19 turnovers, a total of 8 more.

No, the next game can't be like this.

Even if you lose, you can't be abused too badly, and a 0:4 sweep is too ugly. No matter what, you have to win a victory.

Most of the people on the opposite side are old people, but we are young people.

As we all know, the physical recovery speed of young people is much faster than that of old people. After winning the game and realizing that the opponent's condition has declined slightly, even if he plays the whole game, he will steal a victory no matter what!
Thinking of Duncan's magical smile after the game, Wang Zelin said that he must win at least one game.

……

……

……

The Trail Blazers were hammered for a game and did not affect the fiery progress of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Compared with the one-sided trend of the Western Conference Finals, the game between the Heat and the Pacers in G1 of the Eastern Conference Finals was an anxious one.

On May 5, in Game 23 of the series between the Heat and the Pacers, the record of the two sides was at the last moment. Finally, with James, he turned around and entered the basket after receiving the ball, got rid of the defender, and succeeded in a layup before the bell rang. Completed the classic career buzzer lore, the Heat narrowed the gap by one point 1 to 103.

So ever!
The next day, the Internet was full of James' last-minute layup lore...

em, and the classic background plate of pickled peppers.

Wang Zelin really wanted to call Paojiao and say, "Dude! Don't worry, there will be more highlight moments for you in the future!"

However, the Miami Heat, which has the absolute advantage of the top three giants, almost lost to the Pacers, which surprised the outside world.

Perhaps, it is necessary to re-examine the strength of this Pacers team.

Comparing the two, some sand sculpture netizens even concluded that the top three giants are not as good as the GDP of the elderly.

you do not say.

On the one hand, the three quarters are reduced to garbage time, and on the other hand, it is a dangerous and dangerous key lore. It is clear at a glance which one is stronger and which is weaker.

For all kinds of outsiders, James did not respond to any official response.

Since losing 2:4 to the Dallas Mavericks in the one-year finals, James has experienced the darkest moment in his life, which also made him understand a truth. The best way to block outside doubts is to get the damn O'Brien Cup.

This is the best way to slap those unscrupulous media in the face!
……

Same moment, different places.

Due to the clear strength and weakness of the Western Conference this year, there has been a trend of strong teams sweeping weak teams, making the start date of the Western Conference Finals two full days earlier than the Eastern Conference Finals.

This led to the fact that when G2 in the West started, the East had just finished G1.

After accepting the post-match interview, the Big Three of the Heat gathered at Wade's home to celebrate the G1 victory.

As for why it is the Wade family, not the James family, everyone understands.

"Shet!"

"Shit!"

A series of civilized greetings with asterisks came out of Wade's mouth, which made James and Bosh stunned.

"What's the matter, Dwayne, who messed with you again?" James asked hastily.

As the most powerful man behind James, Wade has given him great help both on and off the court. He doesn't want other factors to affect Wade's performance on the court now.

"LeBron, this group of reporters who grew up eating shit dare to say that we are not as good as the senior Spurs, and those youngsters in Portland. They are too disappointing, and they lost two games in a row..."

Amidst Wade's chatter, James took the tablet, and Bosh stretched his neck and leaned over.

It turned out that on the night of the 23rd, the Blazers were beaten again by the Spurs. The Blazers lost again at 93:101.

Parker was superb in the game, scoring 15 points and 18 assists, among which the assists set a new personal high in the playoffs; Duncan also got a new personal historical record, and the number of free throws made in the playoffs surpassed Magic Johnson to set a milestone.

The performance of the Trail Blazers in G2 in the Western Conference Finals was quite normal. Compared with the first game, it was much more stable. The fans could see their progress visible to the naked eye, but the Spurs played well...

Seeing such a result, James couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He still hopes that the Trail Blazers can win the second game.

Don't get me wrong, he didn't want to join forces with Wang Zelin in the finals... although he really admired this young man.

James' real idea is to hope that the Trail Blazers can hinder the progress of the Spurs a little bit, at least to consume more of the physical reserves of the GDP trio.

Who knows that the Spurs' performance in the playoffs will be so impressive, which makes many Eastern powers who aspire to the championship feel frightened.

This includes LeBron James.

After all, the phrase "the future is yours" after the 07 finals is still an old stalk that fans talk about.

Although it's a bad job, it can't stand it's classic!
"That's fine too, Tim, with Dwyane and Chris here this time, I'll definitely be able to defeat you on the highest stage of the finals."

James' eyes were fixed on the No. 21 Spurs on the tablet, and hadn't moved for a long time.

Don't look at the 23vs24 gimmick that the league has been creating in recent years, but what James most wants to beat in his heart is always the owner of the No. 21 jersey.

……

来到5月25号，步行者队客场以97:93击败热火后，成功将系列赛总比分改写为1:1。

For the Pacers, Gao Yuanyuan contributed 29 points in the paint, setting a new record for scoring in a single game in his playoff career, but he still couldn't catch the highlight shot of his teammate Pickle violently dunking Birdman.

How can I say that Pickled Pepper also contributed 22 points and 6 assists.

After this battle, when the Pacers became famous again, the outside world couldn't help but question the strength of the defending champion Heat.

Compared with the Spurs next door, the Heat's current performance is indeed not very convincing.

Such a performance, still want to win the championship?
