The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 524

The fourth game between the Rockets and the Warriors was a real ups and downs.

Both sides played a good quarter in the first half. When the hand feels good, it seems that the game can be harvested immediately. When the hand feels bad, it feels like a match. This also shows that both teams have some explosive attributes and are good at one wave.

In the third quarter, the Warriors broke out habitually, and Curry showed his unsolvable attributes, directly leading the team to overtake the score and expand the advantage to double digits. It feels that the Warriors are going to be stable.

Unexpectedly, the Rockets, who are relatively not so good at the final quarter, broke out and counter-killed in the last quarter, but the Rockets reduced their rotation and started to play the main force in this game, which also shows that they have been cornered.

The outcome of the series is decided, but they won the bet, so it is uncertain who will advance to the Western Conference Finals.

Both sides played a lot of singles in this game, and the Warriors' abnormality in the fourth quarter also exposed their physical problems. The Spurs are now sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. No matter who the final opponent is, they will have an advantage.

Of course, the Spurs still have to deal with the Pelicans first.

The fourth game between the two sides came as scheduled, and the Pelicans now have no other way, which is to put their strengths on the court and let everything go.

To be honest, Davis' efficiency is still good, and so is Holiday.

After playing game after game, Holiday has adapted to the Spurs' defense, but he can only play at a level. If he wants to be as good as the first round, he can only think about it.

The Pelicans concentrate their firepower, and the Spurs' defense is actually easier to arrange. If they compete for stars, the Spurs are not afraid of anyone.

On the defensive end, the Pelicans have given up, and some individuals are working harder on defense.

They gave up the unrealistic idea and just hoped to be able to play their own characteristics on the offensive end.

The Spurs are now playing the trick of boiling frogs in warm water, doing a good job of overall defense, giving the opponent a chance to play their strengths, constantly expending, and at the same time playing at the offensive end to suppress the opponent a little bit.

When the opportunity arises, kill the Pelicans in one go.

To be honest, after setting their position, the Pelicans performed well on the offensive end, especially the role players' three-point shooting rate was good, and even Rondo also hit a three-pointer.

But in terms of score, they can only be regarded as keeping up with the Spurs.

The Spurs are not very explosive in scoring, but they are safe and continuous. With the Pelicans' defense, they can actually bite the score and they are actually playing well.

The current state of the opponent can win against many teams in the regular season, but it is definitely not enough to be the opponent of the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals.

However, the Spurs will not take it lightly. The Pelicans are completely playing star football today, so in the second half, the Spurs' defense will be adjusted.

If the Pelicans expected it, they could actually try to change their tactics.

But they should not change, because there is no better way for them to change.

The key point is that they can't figure out what the Spurs will do. The Spurs' overall defensive ability is strong, and it is easy to adjust their tactics, but the Pelicans can't do it.

In the third quarter, it was too late when the Pelicans realized that something was wrong and planned to change something. The Spurs seized the opportunity to extend their lead to double digits.

The change in the situation also allowed the Pelicans to break away from the false relaxation.

After several outside three-pointers, the fighting spirit of the Pelicans was completely disintegrated.

Of course, they did not replace the main force, and tried their best to look like they were desperate.

But the feeling is completely different. Even if the tiger with its claws and teeth pulled out looks scary, it has no threat to the hunter.

The Spurs steadily maintained their lead until the end of the game. In the Western Conference semifinals, the Spurs swept the Pelicans 4-0.

This is also expected. The Pelicans can sweep their opponents in the first round only because the Blazers are too good.

"I respect our opponents, but we will move on and I'm looking forward to the next round."

Everyone has heard Zhang Xiaotian's championship declaration a lot, but Spurs fans will definitely not get tired of it.

Entering the Western Conference Finals again, the real test is coming.

Regardless of which team the Rockets or Warriors stand out from, the Spurs are all fully prepared after all.

In the East, the Cavaliers suppressed their opponents, settled the battle in the third quarter, defeated the Raptors and entered the Eastern Conference Finals.

Before the start of this series, no one thought that the Cavaliers could sweep their opponents 4:0. In the last game after the Raptors, no one could stand up. This kind of collapse of the whole team makes people sigh.

You must know that they are the number one in the Eastern Conference in the regular season. In comparison, the Pelicans persisted to the end.

Obviously, the Raptors collapsed not only the players, their head coach Casey lamented after the game, "The Cavaliers can achieve today's performance only because they have James, one of the best players in history, and it is really a nightmare to play against him. Such an existence, why do we have to run into him every year, it is really unlucky!"

As for the Raptors, a team with a psychological shadow is doomed to have difficulty going far in the playoffs.

But from another point of view, it's quite interesting.

Zhang Xiaotian has won consecutive championships since he entered the league. Will anyone lament that they cannot win the championship because the opponent has Zhang Xiaotian.

Thinking about it makes me excited, but I can't say this by myself, otherwise I may be beaten to death.

Zhang Xiaotian couldn't help but tell his wife, and Yang Feiyu started discussing with Zhang Xiaotian's fans in the spirit of being happy alone.

Zhang Xiaotian's group of diehards immediately became excited, and hurriedly helped him book the throne of God for the next few seasons and dominate the championship.

Now everyone is still joking and blessing, if he can really lead the team to win a few more championships, he will definitely be a god.

It turned out that he had reached this point, Zhang Xiaotian hurried to practice the equipment for a while, he couldn't let fantasy paralyze his brain, what he had to do now was to help the team defend the title.

If he can get more honors, then the best fantasy is his next goal.

If you can't do better than others, then you might as well be a salted fish.

In another game in the East, there was no sweeping scene.

The 76ers finally got back a game at home relying on defense and the performance of the surprise player TJ McConnell.

They are mainly stable in this game, there are no big ups and downs in each quarter, and they grasp the advantages they have won until the end.

It can be said that after the previous failures, they have become more mature.

Even if they don't go further today, the fans will look forward to it.

Losing is not the same as losing. The 76ers are young and talented, and they still don't understand the despair of some teams.

Embiid was full of confidence after the game, "Look at us now, we have improved a lot, we will definitely have more opportunities to perform in the future, many of us are very talented, and we are still young, we are here Didn't play well in the series, and when everyone plays well, we're hard to beat."
