"Nicholas——!"

"Nicholas——!"

"Nicholas——!"

In the first half of the second quarter, the audience in the Rose Garden Arena was shouting Jokic's name crazily.

If the first quarter was Lillard's time, the second quarter was completely Jokic's time.

Low hook, top-of-the-arb three-pointer, ground pass, no-look pass.

The Blazers' offense was completely revitalized.

Only then did Trail Blazers fans discover:

Not only are other fans unaware of our team’s strength, but we ourselves have also underestimated them!

After the first half of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers already led by as many as 26 points at 53:27.

At this time, the big screen showed a close-up of Coach Stotts who was on the court.

He didn't look particularly happy, but looked a little serious.

Fans lamented:

"As expected of our famous coach, he has not forgotten to reflect on the details of the team at this time."

Stotts:

'Think of it, his pre-game training was in vain.

And haven’t you seen the expression on the opposite coach George Karl’s face that he wants to eat someone?’

During the timeout, under Coach Stotts' repeated admonitions, the Blazers players expressed their understanding.

Then, they lowered their defensive intensity and played back and forth with the Kings.

Coach Stotts nodded with satisfaction.

This is right!

There is no suspense. Except for Lillard, who has been staring at Rondo, all the Blazers' main players clocked out in the third quarter.

At 88:114, the Trail Blazers beat the Kings with 26 points at home and won the G1 game.

Zhou Si did not make any moves in this game. He only defended Gay, the Kings' second regular season scorer, on 3-of-16 shots and scored only 7 points. However, he played 27 minutes and scored a mediocre 24 points, 7 rebounds and 5 rebounds.

help.

The best performer for the Trail Blazers was Lillard. In this game, he scored a crazy 42 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists against Rondo.

In addition, Jokic's performance was also very eye-catching. Just like what was painted on the T-shirt, he led the Blazers' bench forward and scored 18 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists.

For the Kings, Cousins ​​scored 26 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists, while Rondo scored 7 points, 8 rebounds and 12 assists.

Facing the Trail Blazers, even with Long's guidance, it could not make up for the huge strength gap between the two sides.

"I will not care about the criticism from the outside world and will continue to put pressure on Lillard."

Even if he lost the game, Rondo didn't let up!

"Everything that happened tonight was because of our poor performance.

Obviously they're a great team, but we're not going to give up just yet!

We will continue to improve our combat effectiveness and create more trouble for them."

Cousins ​​said after the game.

After the game, netizens also talked a lot.

"Come on, Director Long, you are the best!"

"Thanks to Long's guidance for cheering up the Blazers players."

"The Trail Blazers are just playing against the Kings, they don't pose a threat at all!"

"The probability that the king can black 8 is the same as my probability of winning 5 million. Because I don't buy lottery tickets, the probability is zero percent!"

"Those who say black things, I hope your slogans will be louder!"

"Kings little transparent fans have a weak point to say: We never said black eight!

Come on Cousins!

You will definitely be the number one center in the future!"

…

The next day, as the Blazers relaxed and recovered their physical fitness while preparing for the game, the first game of the first round came to an end.

The media all exclaimed that it was magic, and even Zhou Si was a little surprised.

In the first round, the top four teams were defeated. This is the first time in the NBA, right?

In the Western Conference, the Thunder were unfortunately overturned.

The performance of Shuang Shao was nothing short of explosive.

Westbrook made 15 of 22 shots and scored a near triple-double of 35 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists. Du Shao made 11 of 11 shots and scored 33 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists.

However, apart from the two of them, only Waiters scored in double figures, but his shooting percentage was a dismal 5-for-16.

Waiters obviously still has a long way to go before he can become a father.

Although the Clippers had fewer stars in double figures, they played very well overall, with six players scoring in double figures.

Griffin had 21 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, Paul had 19 points, 6 rebounds and 12 assists, Jordan had 12 points and 14 rebounds, Turner had 15 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, Afflalo had 13 points and Rivers Jr. had 11 points.

The Clippers completed a comeback against the wind at 122:119!

In the East, in addition to the home court advantage protected by the Heat, the Cavaliers, Raptors and Pacers have been directly eliminated from the home court advantage they have worked hard for all season. How can it be such a tragedy.

The reason why the Cavaliers lost to the Nets had something to do with their first game, but the biggest reason was that the God of Doom finally thought of them.

In this game, Adelaide was injured first, and then TT was not happy that he could be in the starting lineup for a long time, but he was also injured!

Suddenly, the Cavaliers should be proud of the fourth position no one available.

In this first matchup, the Cavaliers could only use their previous substitute Alonzoki at the third position, while James played the fourth position.

As a result, the inside line was directly defeated by the Nets in the second half!

Moreover, the Cavaliers were really strong today. Zhuang Shen, who grabbed 6 frontcourt boards, can illustrate the problem.

Ade has a broken jaw and will be sidelined for at least two weeks, and TT has a broken arm and will be sidelined for at least four weeks.

In other words, Adelaide will only be able to pay in the second round, and TT will basically have to pay after the second half of the Eastern Conference Finals.

For the knights, now is really a critical moment!

Black Eight, it’s really not impossible!

After reading the news, Zhou Si, who was still worried, contacted the team doctor. He said that the playoffs would be even harder, and players would be more likely to be injured, so they would have to continue taking the rest.

The regular season is long, and the playoffs are not short either!

We must be prepared to fight a protracted war.

It was not surprising that the Raptors lost to the Bulls.

The Bulls are no weaker than the Raptors to begin with, and with the help of their hot chicken brothers who become weak once the playoffs come, it's useless even if they shout the slogan "We are the King of the North".

The showdown between the Pacers and the Young Bucks was also a bit unexpected for Zhou Si.

After looking at the statistics, Zhou Si found that this young soldier was really fierce, and it felt a bit like beating a master to death with random punches.

For the Pacers, Paojiao scored 38 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.

For the Bucks, the prodigal Ellis had 35 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, Jabari Parker had 26 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, Antetokounmpo had 18 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, and Towns had 13 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks.

Although the Bucks are young, they are reckless.

Zhou Si silently lit a candle for the walker.

Black Eight and Black Seven, those in the east may wish themselves good luck.

…

On April 20, the Trail Blazers rewritten their series with the Kings at home to a 2-0 total score.

There was not much suspense about the outcome of this game. The Trail Blazers suppressed the Kings for the entire game and even scored higher than the Kings in every quarter.

The Kings were convinced of their loss, especially Rondo who was in a good mood after the game.

"As I said, I can restrain him."
