April 19th, Portland, Rose Garden Arena!

That night, the entire arena turned into a sea of ​​red!

Portlanders are extremely excited to watch the Trail Blazers rise strongly and return to the playoffs after three years!

"Zhou——!!!"

"Zhou——!!!"

"Zhou——!!!"

The entire audience chanted Zhou Si's surname in unison, as if they were the most devout believers!

Everyone in the media was surprised by this scene!

Zhou Si's impeccable performance has conquered all Portlanders, and the Rose Garden has become a holy place in the hearts of Portlanders!

"Warriors from Portland, let those sailors see the true power of the City of Tear!

I know some media said that we have no foundation and that we were just lucky to achieve this result in the regular season!

Now, let them see how powerful you are!"

On the sidelines, Coach Stotts's deep and magnetic voice rang in the players' ears!

The Blazers players, who are already excited, can't wait to get on the court and have a big battle now!

Zhou Si didn't say anything, just pointed at himself:

I have everything!

Originally, the newcomers who were participating in the playoffs for the first time were a little nervous, but after seeing Zhou Si's actions, they felt inexplicably relieved!

What are you afraid of? Zhou is here!

Unknowingly, Zhou Si has become a being like the divine needle that fixes the sea.

Although many people have selectively forgotten that Zhou Si participated in the playoffs for the first time, and even he was just a rookie...

Not far away, the members of the Clippers were in a mixed mood. Judging from the regular season record, it was difficult for them to win against the Trail Blazers.

In other words, the Trail Blazers are the Clippers' most feared opponent, no one!

Of course they are also afraid of Durant from the Thunder, which is No. 1 in the Western Conference, but they can also gamble on Durant's touch by using double-team tactics.

As for Zhou Si, he has a strong offense and strong support ability, making him even more difficult to defend!

Paul, Griffin and DeAndre Jordan all looked very serious on the Clippers players' faces, which was in great contrast to the chatter and laughter of the Trail Blazers players!

Soon, the starting lineups of the two teams appeared on the big screen.

Clippers: Paul, J.J. Redick, Matt Barnes, Griffin and DeAndre Jordan!

Trail Blazers: Lillard, Courtney Lee, Zhou Si, Millsap and Leonard!

The Clippers did not make adjustments to their starting lineup. Instead, the Trail Blazers put Courtney Lee and Leonard in the starting lineup!

Facing off-the-ball defenders like J.J. Redick, Courtney Lee's defensive effect is much better than Matthews.

Leonard's words are obviously meant to open up space.

Since your Clippers have weak flanks, I will focus on your flanks and attack!

When the ball jumped, Leonard thought for a moment and then quickly returned to defense.

Compared with his jumping ability, he is really far behind the beast like Jordan.

Just as Coach Stotts expected before the game.

The Clippers are still the same as in the regular season, with a success rate of staying in position!

After a pick-and-roll between Paul and Griffin, the ball was handed over to Griffin.

Leonard was very strong against Jordan under the basket, not giving him a chance to work in the air.

“Clang——!”

When Griffin saw this, he was extremely respectful!

Millsap turned around to protect the backboard.

Leonard knew very well that he couldn't grab the rebounds from DeAndre Jordan, so he just pushed against DeAndre Jordan hard, only blocking the position without jumping.

The Clippers retreated very quickly, giving the Trail Blazers no chance to counterattack.

Unlike the regular season, the playoffs are much more targeted and many players will perform abnormally.

That's why there is a saying that the playoffs are the stage for testing the abilities of stars.

Coach Stotts frowned, the Clippers' retreat was a bit interesting.

Zhou Si dribbled the ball past half court and looked at the slender Barnes in front of him without any care.

Although Barnes is not a famous defensive gate in the league, he can use his wingspan and enthusiasm to entangle opponents and make them feel uncomfortable!

"Boom!"

After a loud noise, Zhou Si directly ran over Barnes and passed by!

Entangled? Consumed?

nonexistent!

I'll crush it directly!

"Whoa!"

Zhou Si's picturesque mid-range hit steadily!

"Zhou——!"

"Zhou——!"

"Zhou——!"

The whole rose garden once again sounded the uniform cheers!

"Zhou Si played the ball really tough!" Barkley exclaimed.

When it comes to such a big scene, Zhou Si is still as fearless as before!

"The playoffs are a duel for tough guys!"

O'Neill also nodded in agreement!

Here, weaklings will only be kicked out!

Survival of the fittest, no one will sympathize with the weak!

Basketball is originally a competitive game!

On the court, Paul slowly dribbled the ball across half court and continued to play positional offense.

Redick?

no chance!

Barnes?

Zhou Si's defense looked very lax, but Paul still didn't pass the ball, and the offensive tactics arranged by coach Rivers had nothing to do with Barnes.

It's still the pick-and-roll between Paul and Griffin.

Griffin caught the ball and took off directly!

If I can’t score from mid-range, I can dunk, right?

"Beep--!"

"Griffin, offensive foul, two-point goal is invalid!"

Griffin immediately became anxious after dunking the ball and went forward to argue with the referee.

Leonard grinned as Zhou Si and Mirza pulled up.

Fortunately, he did a very good job protecting his body just now, otherwise he might have been seriously injured when he landed like that!

The ball was transferred and Zhou Si continued to dribble past half court.

Since the third position has an advantage, why not keep playing?

As soon as he passed the three-point line, Barnes fiercely pushed past him!

He knew he couldn't guard against Zhou Si, so he just wanted to consume Zhou Si's physical strength!

Boom, boom, boom!

Matt passed by without a leaf touching him!

Zhou Si passed by Barnes with an easy killer crossover and made an emergency stop in front of the three-point line!

The Clippers' defensive strategy was very interesting today, using Matt Barnes to defend Zhou Si alone.

Zhou Si doesn’t know what medicine Coach Rivers is selling in his gourd, so he might as well just do it!
