Five hundred and fortieth chapters to attack and defend
The Trail Blazers organized effective resistance in the third quarter.
But they were unable to survive this breath. Under the sudden blow of Li Liang's three-pointer, they still plummeted, and the score difference was pulled to 20 points again.
This was a fatal blow to the morale of the Trail Blazers players. In the fourth quarter, the Clippers began to control the field.
With Paul here, the Clippers played very steadily. Griffin stood up and resisted the inside and scored several goals in a row.
At the critical moment, Rivers still didn't dare to be careless. Even if he was leading by more than ten points, he still had to use the method of playing at the basket and committing fouls to stabilize his advantage.
The Trail Blazers' three-pointers feel very good tonight. In the fourth quarter, they put their hopes on the three-pointers.
Lillard, Batum, and Matthews all took action when they had a chance.
I did score some goals and held the score, but as the player's physical fitness declined, the lower the three-point shooting percentage went to the back.
This is something that I have to mention Li Liang again.
There is a very important reason why Li Liang has a high three-point shooting percentage, which is that he always starts the first and second half, has the best physical fitness and the loosest defense, and uses three-pointers.
At this time, the hit rate is the highest.
By the last period of the game, the defense is stronger and the physical fitness is declining. Li Liang will be much more cautious in choosing three-point shooting.
Either the chance is good, or he can use props or skills, and he always wants to make himself more efficient.
The Trail Blazers owe too much debts ahead, and a string of three points is gambling.
Everyone knows that gambling cannot win debts, but will lose more and more.
The Trail Blazers did not have the luck of winning the lottery. When they missed three consecutive shots from the outside and were defeated by the Clippers to make a counterattack, the score difference was widened again and turned 25 again!
Stotts called the last timeout of the game - it felt like Stotts' main function was to give everyone a break.
He replaced the main player and the garbage player. It was garbage time again.
The garbage time tonight is a little later than the previous two games.
The game was no longer suspense, and Li Liang and the main players left the court and sat on the bench and started chatting.
Li Lianghui was normal tonight, scoring 23 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and 3 steals.
Jordan Jr. is a pillar of the game, giving the Trail Blazers six hot pot hats and 21 rebounds.
The pace on both sides is fast, Jordan Jr.'s rebound is a good thing.
After winning this game, the Clippers already scored 3:0, and they were about to sweep again.
Li Liang has only entered nBa this year for the second year and has swept his opponent three times.
Last year, the first round and the second round were swept, and the situation this year was almost the same.
Isn’t this the chosen father who is the chosen father?
And as soon as the playoffs arrived, Li Liang was astonishingly stable.
It is said that the playoffs are highly targeted, and it is common for players to fluctuate in their condition.
Home and away game changes, one god and one ghost are even more common, and the rise and fall of one is the norm.
As a result, Li Liang has a god, but basically no ghost.
Who gave him props?
Not to mention anything else, Li Liang is still holding two Yin-Yang Mixing Daguo Pills in his hand. If one day he wins 1O in the first half, then you can wait for him to play 1O in the second half.
Of course, fans and media don’t know that after the Clippers once again easily knocked the Trail Blazers down, the entire public opinion was amazed.
Although Li Liang only scored 23 points in this game, he didn't take many moves and his efficiency was still very high.
Under his leadership, the Clippers can be said to have shown their crushing strength.
So, the entire basketball media now praises Li Liang. In short, how can he express his praise? He can think of Li Liang in different ways.
Li Liang was very happy to see these... to be honest.
Who doesn't like to listen to good things?
Although I know when I lose the ball or lose to North, someone will definitely come out and step on it.
There must be friends and enemies on the basketball court, and it is so clear.
But Li Liang thought, since that's the case, wouldn't it be enough for me to keep winning?
Just when Li Liang and the Clippers were in a smooth journey, in the East, the Heat pressed their opponent Wizards to the ground and rubbed them.
The Heat took the opposite route from the Clippers. They did not allow the Wizards to score, and successfully managed to keep the Wizards' score below 1 oo points in three consecutive games.
It was also a 3:o, while the Heat's largest competitor in the East failed. They came to Brooklyn in the third game and lost to the Nets. The score was 1:2 behind, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
On the other hand, the Spurs and the Warriors also had a difficult game, and the two sides tied 1:1 in the first two games.
The third game was played until the fourth quarter before the winner was decided. The Spurs narrowly passed by relying on three-pointers from Dior and Leonard.
The Spurs are very experienced and powerful, but the Warriors are as talented as they show their unfathomable potential.
There are only the Clippers and the Heat, and the only heroes in the world are me.
...
The Clippers stayed in Portland for another day. In the fourth game, they either sent the Trail Blazers back to fish or could go back to Los Angeles to sell tickets for another game.
The Trail Blazers don’t want to go back to fish, and the Clippers don’t want to go home to sell tickets. They can rest early and prepare for the Western Conference Finals, which Clippers players want to see.
On May 11, the fourth battle between the Trail Blazers and the Clippers, the Trail Blazers' Battle of Honor, started at the Moda Center.
The Trail Blazers fans did not give up their support for the team just because the team was on the verge of being eliminated, or they were definitely eliminated.
The stadium was still full that night, and many fans put on red jackets outside to create a better stadium atmosphere.
After three games of ravage, the Trail Blazers have gained something, but their mentality has become more stable in the face of a large score behind.
I won't be anxious anymore, anyway, it's useless to be anxious.
A good attitude makes the Trail Blazers play more calmly and orderly in the opening game.
In the first quarter, they played the Clippers with a lead of 7 points and ended the first quarter.
The long-lost lead, the long-lost three-pointer, the long-lost mid-range jump shot after pick-and-roll, and the long-lost smooth position attack.
Cut off, running, cover, downwards after pick-and-roll, and three-pointers at the bottom corner.
In the first quarter of the fourth game, the Trail Blazers players finally felt that they were playing nBa. It turned out that we were still an nBa team!
We did not become cBa, our skills were not lost, we still could play, and the opponent could also make irons.
The Clippers made a blackshot at the beginning of the first quarter. After Griffin and Paul covered the pick-and-roll, they missed the jump shot from high-level reception, which kicked off the Clippers' Day.
The biggest problem the Clippers encountered after that was that they could not score goals, and they really couldn't make a shot.
The whole team feels off the line, and many of the scores come from tip-offs at the basket or near-basket attacks.
Once the offense is not good, the Clippers' defense will also have problems.
In the words of Zhang Weiping, a famous Chinese basketball commentator, "The Clippers, like the Lakers, are teams that use offense and defense. This strap is not a substitute, but a strap. If a team like them is not good at attacking well, and if they are always hit and counterattack on the defensive end, it will easily disperse and be confused."
The Clippers' defense was indeed a bit messy in the first quarter. The team missed the lead at the beginning, allowing the Trail Blazers to cooperate smoothly, and it would be difficult to brake later.
In the middle of the first quarter, Li Liang was called a foul for the second time and had to go off the court to rest, which caused the Clippers' defense to have even bigger problems.
It seems that the only one who can really stop Li Liang is the referee.
Li Liang sat off the court, drank some water, thinking that it was not easy to play tonight's game.
But it was precisely because it was difficult to fight that Li Liang was very excited.
The first three games were too easy, so it was time to play a difficult challenge, right?
