NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 656 Easy 2 to 0
127: 69!

58 minutes! !!

In the locker room of the visiting team, a certain 183 man, who did not want to be named, saw the 58 tragedy and couldn't help but recall that night in 09.

That day, that night, different opponents, but the same point difference!

记得09年时，丹佛掘金以121:63狂胜当时的新奥尔良黄蜂58分，一举追平了遥远的54年之前由湖人创造的季后赛最大分差的记录。

At that time, everyone agreed that at least in the next 30 to [-] years, it would be difficult for any team to touch this mysterious number.

I never thought that in less than 6 years, someone else tied the record of 58!

This is an exciting night for all basketball fans, ahem, except for a certain depressed 183 man.

……

After the game, only head coach Rivers of the Clippers attended the media interview. At this time, someone must come out to bear the pressure. Griffin is the Clippers management's default next team leader. At this time, Rivers can only come out to take the lead.

Regardless of the reason, the Clippers are a playoff team after all, but they lost to their opponents by 58 points. This is absolutely intolerable.

When facing the camera, Rivers did not shirk his responsibility, but replied to the media over and over again, the responsibility lies with me!
For the Trail Blazers, Wang Zelin, who scored a triple-double of 32 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists, did not make trouble. He responded to the media and left the field in a hurry.

If Wang Zelin had never experienced being at the top before winning the championship, he would definitely not let go of the opportunity to shine after the game.

But now, neither he, Lillard, nor Aldridge have much enthusiasm for post-match interviews.

And this is not the first time Brother Pao has suffered setbacks when facing the Blazers, and they have lost the passion they had at the beginning.

What's more, Scarlett was still waiting anxiously in the parking lot at this time, and was going to go back with him tonight to watch the backflip cat.

……

……

The first day of the East and West semifinals is over, and there are more things to watch than people think.

前有詹姆斯全场39分13助攻9篮板的准三双，完全摧毁了猛龙队的锋线，率领骑士队在主场109:102战胜猛龙，获得系列赛总比分1-0！

后有32分15篮板10助攻的王泽林，率领开拓者在主场击沉快船，同样取得系列下总比分1-0！

Of course, none of the above is as exciting as the news that Paul once again encountered the 58 tragedy!
As for saying that Paul obviously didn't play, what about the encounter?
Sorry, in the eyes of the media, the Clippers are Paul's team, so what's the difference between the Clippers' 58 tragedy and Paul's!

Therefore, Paul and his Clippers are on fire again.

Including some NBA stars who went to Hawaii for vacation and fishing, they also expressed their condolences on social media for the first time when Paul encountered the 58 tragedy again.

Their reasons are also very good. After all, Paul is the chairman of the NBA union. To some extent, they are also concerned about their bosses.

Cough cough, as for how many people here are sincere and how many people are watching the fun, I don't know.

Anyway, most of the melon-eating people in this heated discussion said: This melon is so sweet, I'm in love with it!
……

After the first game of the series, the Trail Blazers had no team training the next day, and additional training was also prohibited.

Scarlett was sent off in the morning, and at noon Wang Zelin called Jokic, a famous killer of Happy Water and a voiceless Internet addict, and the two played video games at home all afternoon, which is called a combination of work and rest.

The Clippers didn't train either. After the last game, the Trail Blazers needed to rest, and the Clippers' players needed to take a break even more than they did.

The Clippers are resting at the hotel. They were ashamed yesterday, so they don't have the heart to go out today.The coaching staff is also concentrating on studying the weaknesses of the Trail Blazers, trying to find a breakthrough in the game.

On this day, when Griffin learned that Paul was still unable to play in the second game and had to wait until the third game, he was silently preparing for the loss of the second game.

At the same time, he was also seriously thinking about what Wang Zelin said yesterday, reflecting on his basketball career over and over in his heart.

……

On the rest day, Wang Zelin had a very relaxed life. Coach Terry called three times a day, in order to specifically tell him to pay attention to the amount of training, and he himself strictly followed it.

As a professional player, he knows very well how important rest is to basketball players!

Especially in every playoff game that must be competed, sufficient rest after the game can avoid accidental injuries on the court to the greatest extent.

On the 6th day, I played video games during the day and watched the other two teams in the semi-finals at night.

However, his main concern has to be this matchup in the West.

Strictly speaking, this opportunity for the Warriors and Mosaics to participate is of great significance.

From the perspective of the outside world, this is the first time the two sides have met in the playoffs in more than 21 years since entering the 10st century; and in Wang Zelin's mind, this is the first dialogue between Curry and Harden on the big stage in the careers of the 09 duo. In the following years, the dialogue between the two has influenced a generation of fans.

Of course, later, due to the widening gap in honor between the two, the so-called 09 duo gradually evolved into "North Qiaofeng and South Murong" in the mouths of many fans.

But as a latecomer, now being able to witness the beginning of a glorious history of the NBA also makes Wang Zelin a little excited.

At the same time, what makes him even more excited is that he is not only a witness to this period of history, but also a destroyer who will destroy this period of history.

……

After a big battle, the Warriors at home defeated the Mosaic team 110:106 and won the first game of the series!
Caused by the crushing game of the Trail Blazers, today's matchup between the Warriors and the Mosaic team is obviously more suspenseful and more intense.

In this campaign, the Warriors were the star. Harden tried his best to score a quasi-triple-double with 28 points, 9 assists, 11 rebounds and 10 steals. He also staged a superstar moment of scoring 10 points in [-] consecutive singles in the final quarter, but his efforts did not help Mosaic win the game.

A key point of this game is that Howard, another core of the Mosaic team, accidentally collided with his teammates during the first quarter.Although he quickly returned to the game under the treatment of the team doctor, his state was inevitably affected. In the end, he only scored 7 points and 13 rebounds, and sent 5 fatal turnovers.

勇士队这边，库里砍下全场最高的34分，外加6篮板5助攻；克莱汤普森拿到15分、格林拿到13分12篮板8助攻准三双、巴恩斯拿到14分。

On the bench, Livingston also contributed a crucial 18 points.

the other end.

The game between the Eagles and the Bulls is also over.

What no one expected was that the Bulls, who were a guest in Atlanta, maintained the lead throughout the game and finally defeated the Eagles 102:95 away.

In this game, the Bulls achieved the ultimate on the defensive end, allowing the Eagles to only score 35 points in the second half!
其中，全场26投11中，三分球6中3，砍下25分5篮板5助攻1抢断的前MVP德里克罗斯，当选全场最佳。

Especially the wave of 9:0 offenses with Butler in the final quarter completely shattered the Eagles' final hope of a comeback.

After this game, the Bulls defeated the Eagles, and the winning percentage of the series promotion increased significantly. The promotion probability of the two teams changed from [-] to [-] before the start of the game!

If the Bulls are really allowed to step on the dead body of the Eagles to the floor of the Eastern Conference finals, I am afraid that Mike Budenholzer, who has just won the first coach of his career, is very likely to encounter a huge backlash!

No matter how much the media praised him before, how badly he will fall next.

But fortunately, this is only the first game of the series, which doesn't mean that the Bulls will really be black to the end.

But what is clear is that the Eagles coaching staff will be busy in the next few nights, and they don't know how much hair they will lose.

……

Soon on May 5, the Trail Blazers continued their post-season trip to the mountain, still at the Rose Garden Tavern, and played the second game of the Western Conference semifinals series at 7:19 in the evening.

The Clippers made a lot of adjustments before this game. After all, Rivers is the coach of the championship, and he has some real skills.

In the pre-match layout, he made several modifications, reducing inside singles, seeking reasonable offenses through pick-and-rolls, and... let Griffin drive the ducks to the shelves, and follow the example of Wang Zelin in the previous game to carry out high-position support.

To be honest, Griffin, who just hit a season high with 5.3 assists per game this year, is not without this ability. It's just that before Paul was injured, a lot of ball power was concentrated in Paul's hands. Griffin has never actually played a playmaker.

But this is already no way.

Now everyone understands that the Clippers can't beat the Trail Blazers in superstar basketball, so they simply reduce the comparison in this aspect and change it to a more reasonable battle.

Maybe, in the minds of all members of the Clippers, their primary goal tonight is not to win, but to try to lose a little less in this way.

After all, after the last game, everyone can see the huge gap in strength between the two teams.

After the start of the game, the starters of both sides have not changed.Trail Blazers Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Aldridge and Wang Zelin; Clippers Jr. Rivers, Redick, Barnes, Griffin, Jr. Jordan.

After playing for a few minutes, Coach Terry noticed that the Clippers had adjusted their offensive strategy for this game.

Let Griffin play the playmaker?
interesting!
Seeing Griffin, who frequently held the ball in the high post, Coach Terry stroked his chin in surprise.

However, it's just a little interesting.

He didn't believe that Griffin, who rushed to the shelves in a hurry, could catch up with Wang Zelin in terms of tacit understanding with his teammates and personal organizational skills.

As a result, the fans at the scene saw a very strange scene on the field.

Wang Zelin and Griffin are like a pair of mirror image brothers, because their playing styles are too similar.

But as the game continued and entered the second half, after the Trail Blazers suddenly increased their defensive strength, Griffin, who was playing smoothly in front, suddenly made mistakes again and again.

At this time, Griffin, who was still supporting in a high position, was no different from Dong Shi in the eyes of others.

However, I don’t know why, although Griffin’s repeated mistakes further caused the only 8-point difference between the two sides to quickly open to double digits in the first half, but Rivers seemed to be sure that the Clippers would definitely win this game, and he just didn’t make adjustments.

In the end, at 114:91, the Trail Blazers won the G2 game and easily gained a 2:0 advantage in the series.

In a corner where no one noticed, when the game ended, Rivers looked up at the scoreboard and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, it's okay, we only lost by 23 points!"

Good guy, dare this guy has no intention of winning tonight, all he wants is not to repeat the mistakes of the previous game!

However, looking at Griffin who had not left the game after the game, Rivers felt a little distressed, but it quickly dissipated without a trace.

Tonight, Griffin played 34 minutes, scored 23 points and 10 rebounds, plus 11 extremely eye-catching turnovers, and completed an alternative triple-double!

Poor child, his mentality is probably broken now!
