"Pah, pah, pah!"

The faces of those trolls who had previously said that Zhou Si's four-double score was difficult and of low value felt pain in the face.

In fact, whether it is this game or the previous six games, the defensive intensity has never been lower!

The defense Zhou Si faced was undoubtedly the strongest in this year's playoffs, and even ranked among the best in history!

The Trail Blazers and Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals seemed to focus more on tactics and a battle of wits, but in fact Zhou Si's outside scoring ratio was very low. He shouldered the heavy responsibility of attacking and spent most of his time in the defensive swamp arranged by the Spurs.

Fighting hard.

In the G7 life and death battle, the intensity has completely reached its peak.

It wasn't until 3 minutes and 11 seconds into the game that Parker made a mid-to-long-range hit after going around the screen!

The intensity of this game made the audience in front of the TV feel suffocated!

Previously, Duncan's classic 45° angle shot was a rare three-pointer, and Zhou Si's quick counterattack three-pointer was also missed.

They put in too much energy on the defensive end, which has affected their offensive touch.

Attack and shooting are no longer the main theme of this game. Confrontation, steals, blocks, and muscle fighting can be seen everywhere!

After four regular season games and six playoff games so far, the two teams can be said to know the basics and have all the ammunition!

Now they are competing more not in technology and body, but in spirit and will!

In the Spurs' offense, Duncan caught the ball and hit Zhou Si with his back. He hit him directly with his back and then turned around and shot a jump shot from the left side of the basket to the baseline.

"Snapped!"

As a result, the basketball was slapped by Zhou Si and flew away, and the Blazers grabbed the basketball and counterattacked.

Lillard's hard layup didn't go in, but was cut out of the baseline by Parker.

The three referees awarded the ball to the Trail Blazers after discussion and replay.

Parker and Popovich agreed that the ball hit Lillard. Popovich was very angry and went to the referee to argue, but the referee did not give in and immediately warned Popovich severely!

Popovich, who has always been grumpy, had to go back to the bench and sit down. Obviously he didn't want to fall out with the referee in Game 7.

These two attacks were almost a microcosm of the first half of the first quarter. It was only in the second half that the two teams got used to their defensive intensity and got a little better.

The game entered the final stage of the first quarter, and the Trail Blazers trailed by 5 points at 10:15.

Even though they are younger in spirit and will, they still can't compete with the battle-hardened Spurs!

Director Zhang lamented: “Everyone’s muscles are stiff and their minds are too nervous.

In fact, both teams are not normal. Let's see who can return to normal first and who can have a calm mood.

It’s time for leaders to step up!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Si stood up.

He seemed to be looking for his teammates in the high post, but in fact he suddenly accelerated. Leonard was passed by Zhou Si, and Danny Green, who stepped forward to double-team, was stunned by Zhou Si's fake pass!

Zhou Si, who broke into the inside and faced Shi Fo, jumped up high!

Wow~

To Duncan's surprise, Zhou Si did not attack the man again, but collected the ball and completed a dodge.

His strong body seemed to be still in the air, and then he twisted to avoid Duncan in the air.

Then Zhou Si made an exaggerated pull-up shot like a hurricane and scored a layup!

12:15!

Zhou Si helped the Trail Blazers score points with great difficulty, and the audience cheered loudly!

This is their devil!

The master of the city they tore apart!

"The perfect lever after dodging in the air!

Zhou Si gave us a top-five performance!"

Ke Fan roared first as a sign of respect.

"Xiao Zhou is really born for big scenes."

Director Zhang sighed once again.

It would be surprising for Zhou Si to perform like this in the regular season, but it definitely won't surprise anyone.

But, this is a life and death battle in the semi-finals!

This heart is too big!

Duncan glanced at Zhou Si, this little guy really had a rock-solid heart.

The Spurs attacked, and Duncan, who was gradually calming down, wanted to return the ball, but he didn't have time to speak.

“Clang——!”

Ginobili's outside shot missed a three-pointer!

Zhou Si protected the backcourt rebound!

Buckley couldn't help closing his eyes and holding his forehead and said:

"Manu really doesn't follow common sense!"

Ginobili is a god when he is accurate, but the demon sword when he is iron is a headache for others.

Zhou Si directed his teammates to move while dribbling the ball across half court. Leonard stayed very close and did not give Zhou Si a chance to shoot a three-pointer.

Leonard definitely ranks first in terms of defending Zhou Si's three-point shot throughout the season!

Zhou Si slowly reached the high position, and Green also came over to double-team him.

Boom, boom, boom!

Zhou Si once again forced his way inside, but this time the double-teaming of Leonard and Green caused physical confrontation to Zhou Si, and his speed began to slow down!

Wow~

Zhou Si jumped up to attract Duncan's defense and then made a precise no-look pass directly to Casspi who was ambushing on the baseline!

Casspi didn't have time to sigh how comfortable Zhou Si was passing the ball with such intensity, and quickly released a three-pointer!

"Whoosh!"

The basketball goes hollow into the basket!

15:15!

As a leader, Zhou Si knew that he had to stand up at this time!

It's just that sometimes, scoring may not be the only way to lead the team forward!

Zhou Si believes in the strength of his teammates and is willing to lead them forward together!

He believes that as long as he keeps feeding the ball and his teammates keep taking shots, he will always score!

He would not choose to go on alone unless absolutely necessary!

This is the "Devil's Way" that Zhou Si convinced all his teammates!

The Spurs attacked, and Duncan quickly expressed his desire to return the favor this time.

Shi Buddha is also anxious!

Ginobili gave him a look, brother, I know.

Boom, boom, boom!

Ginobili was like a demon knife piercing the sky, twisting his body and rushing in. Zhou Si immediately stepped forward to defend.

A glint flashed in Ginobili's eyes, he pushed with both hands in the air, and the basketball hit the ground and flew in the direction of Duncan!

"Miao Chuan... um..."

Kenneth Smith, who had just called out the wonderful pass, showed embarrassment on his face.

Because Ginobili passed the ball too fast on the court, Shi Fo could only watch the basketball go out of bounds.

"Ahem, Ginobili was too eager to score, and the ball was passed too quickly."

Kenneth Smith forced his respect.

In fact, this is normal. As the intensity of the game increases, movements become deformed and mistakes are particularly common. However, stable passing like Zhou Si's just now is an outlier.

"In the last 21 seconds of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers' last attack, Lillard still gave the ball to Zhou Si." Ke Fan explained.

“Every score in this defensive battle tonight is important!

The Spurs' two attacks failed, and now is a good opportunity for the Trail Blazers to take the lead." Director Zhang analyzed.

Boom, boom, boom.

Facing the double-teams of Leonard and Green, Zhou Si dribbled the ball in a small space.
