Chapter 105 Advancing to the Finals!
The game between the Sonics and the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference Finals was very hot and attracted a lot of attention internationally.

In addition to live broadcasts by 4 TV stations in North America, Huaguo and Asian countries, there are also TV stations in established powers such as the United Kingdom and Spain in Europe.

Before the game, many hosts and guests thought it would be a close match.

It is true that the Trail Blazers have a strong momentum, but after all, they are a newly formed army, and there are still many shortcomings.

If we talk about the Eastern Conference, the Bulls dominate this season.

Then the western side is the real warlord melee.

The Spurs, Jazz, Sonics, Lakers and Trail Blazers are all strong.

roll.

Just hard roll.

Among the many warlords in the west, the Sonics are also the most powerful one.

Although the Sonics have been hacked eight times in the past two years and have many black spots, they are a veteran and strong team in the West.

Although playing seven games against the Jazz was quite exhausting, and it was the home court of the Blazers, it should be [-]-[-], and the most extreme is [-]-[-], right?
They never expected that the scene would be one-sided.
From the beginning of the first quarter, the situation was completely controlled by the Trail Blazers.

No matter what the Sonics responded, it would have no effect in the end.

Then there are three punches
Is this still a Western warlord melee?

It doesn't look like a level at all!
Some media complained: "Even if you put five pigs on the field, you won't lose so thoroughly, right?"

"One thing to say, the Sonics really tried their best here. Gary Payton's 25 points this time, his performance is not bad compared to the second round. The main problem is Sean Kemp."

"Yes, Sean Kemp was fouled a few times in the third quarter, which was too fatal."

"Actually, even if he doesn't leave the court, his performance is average. Sean Kemp made 15 of 5 shots and only scored 15 points with free throws."

"No way, the opponent is too strong. Olajuwon played extremely poorly against the Trail Blazers' twin towers."

They looked at the giants in the Rose Garden Arena and said with emotion: "Who would have thought that such a combination could play so powerfully in the summer."

"52 points in three quarters, there has never been a high school rookie who contributed such a crazy performance on the stage of the Western Conference Finals."

"The strongest high school student in history is worthy of the name."

"It's not that the Sonics are not strong enough, it's that the Blazers have Malone!"

"Ma Long's dominance makes me feel like an emperor, too domineering."

"The style of play is domineering, but the attitude is friendly, which makes people feel very good, just like Melon."

Among the whispers, the post-match interview was quickly dealt with.

Malone interacted with the fans for a while, and then returned to the locker room to rinse and relax.

Although he doesn't really need it, just wait until the early morning to refresh automatically.

But post-race physiotherapy is still a very nice treat.

Enjoying, Ma Long is also summing up this game.

"Although the Supersonics have no shortage of stars, they rely heavily on the Rainman for offense and defense. If the Rainman can't contain them, it will be difficult to play."

"Switched to other inside combinations in the NBA, Sean Kemp can rely on his explosive power to play strong, but it's replaced by me and Sabonis."

"But Clifford and Hawkins are also important."

"Objectively speaking, Sean Kemp played a restraining role. If it weren't for the good defense of the two of them, the Sonics' three-pointer would have missed."

"The defense is good. Under this premise, I made a final decision on the offensive end and hit a super high shooting percentage, which established the lead."

Malone analyzed and analyzed, and analyzed that the Trail Blazers were stronger.

Looking at the lineup on paper, there is nothing wrong with such an analysis.

Although Tim Hardaway's regular season data is not obvious, it turns out that in history, he will be able to get a team of point guards next year, a proper team of strength.

The defense may not be as good as Gary Payton, but the offense is undoubtedly stronger and more suitable for the Trail Blazers, barely offsetting Gary Payton.

The gold medal 3D player Hawkins is better than the ordinary shooting guard Vincent Askey.

Clifford and Detlef Schramff were like equals.

Both are 3D forwards who are good at three-pointers + defense.

The difference is that Clifford's defense is better, and Detlef Schramf's shooting is stronger, which is a [-]-[-] split.

As for Malone and Sean Kemp, after this game, he is still stronger than Ma.

Mainly in terms of incomprehension, Malone feels that he is more incomprehensible than Sean Kemp.

Sean Kemp can be restricted, but he is difficult to be restricted.

Comparing Sabonis and Dudley, thinking about it on the back heel also knows that the former is stronger.

In this way, the Trail Blazers have obvious advantages in three positions, plus the coaching staff and Carlisle, a future monster, it seems normal to win.

At his level, he can only play this kind of lineup on paper.

But compared to the lineup, the Trail Blazers do have an advantage.

Thinking of this, Ma Long put away the little swelling in his heart.

He scored 50 points in a single game, and his role is undoubtedly the biggest for the Trail Blazers.

However, without these excellent teammates, he is not a big center who can't play well, but it is impossible to play so well.

"Let's review it again in the evening, and make persistent efforts to play steadily in the next game."

Malone returned home, had a tender moment with Theron, and then fell asleep and began to resume the game.

The good points should be maintained, and the bad points, such as the points of the ball and the connection of singles, should be corrected, and the timing of assisting defense should continue to be strengthened.

Malone continues to get stronger.

The next day took a day off.

On the morning of May 5, the Trail Blazers held a team meeting and started pre-game preparations.

These preparations are mainly based on analysis and light tactical training.

Although the task was very light, both the coaching staff and the veteran players showed a serious attitude, and did not regard the Sonics as their opponents because of the ease of winning the first game.

The intensity of the playoffs is high and the schedule is tight.

Starting from the second round, a series can be played for up to 15 days.

There are only two two-day breaks after playing 7 games. There are two days of rest before the first home and away game and the tiebreaker after the first 6 games. The other games are played every other day.

This kind of high-density match schedule with the same opponent has always been in a short period of time, and you will get to know each other more and more.

If you continue to explode like this, you may find some strategy and switch to the offensive.

At this time, the role of the veteran will be very prominent.

It just so happens that the Trail Blazers' lineup is very reasonable, and there is absolutely no shortage of veterans.

Not to mention Buck Williams, a living fossil who entered the league in 81, the main players include Clifford, who once played the finals with the Bulls, and Tim Hardaway and Sabonis, who have experienced strong winds and waves.

The only mentality to worry about is Malone.

But the coaching staff took a look and found that Malone was one of the players with the best mentality. He was not stable, and he was not at all as complacent as other talented players after breaking records. He still modestly asked Sabonis and Carlisle various questions.

This made Bob, the general manager who supervised the battle, and others very satisfied.

Ma Long has also been proud, but after looking at his own attributes and recalling some news from his previous life, his mentality will soon calm down.

If you want to be proud, wait until you win the championship.

In sports competition, the winner is king.

I am proud now, and it will be meaningless to be overturned by the Sonics or win a runner-up.

Of course, the most important thing is to play G2 with the Sonics first.

In the evening, Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals between the Trail Blazers and the Sonics began.

This time the Trail Blazers didn't play well, and they still relied on Malone to play a star.

The Sonics made some adjustments, playing fast break more resolutely, playing track and field style, and at the same time trying to speed up the interception of mid-range passes, as well as the consumption of Malone.

In George Karl's view, a big center like Malone has no solution to offense, but physical fitness is always a problem.

Even if Malone's physical strength is as strong as that of an animal.

But as long as it is a human being, there will always be a time when it is exhausted, right?

It is true that Malone is talented, but he is only 18 years old and his body has not reached its peak, so there is still the possibility of being consumed.

This adjustment paid off in the first half.

The Sonics seized the opportunity and scored a few fast breaks, giving them an early lead.

Although he was beaten back by the Blazers in a positional battle afterwards with a very high success rate, he did not fall behind at the beginning like the first game.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Sonics played more smoothly from the outside, and the three-pointers felt very hot. After halftime, the Trail Blazers were still a few points behind.

George Karl was ecstatic and let the players go all out to play the iron-blooded track and field competition.

The Sonics are a championship-looking team after all.

In the Jagged Track and Field Competition, the score kept biting until the third quarter and did not open.

Malone performed poorly in the first three quarters.

Sabonis has limited physical strength and must use it wisely.

Without the high and low positions of the twin towers, it is still very difficult for Malone to get a chance under the Sonics' determined siege.

George Karl guessed right, Malone's physical fitness has an upper limit.

After three quarters, under the siege of the Sonics, Malone was exhausted.

But consumption is relative.

Malone was consumed, and Sean Kemp and others were also severely consumed.

So in the fourth quarter, after Malone took drugs, the Sonics couldn't stop
The XP saved is for this time to open and hang.

Malone drank a bottle of energy drink, as if returning to the first quarter.

However, the strength of Sean Kemp and others has dropped a lot due to a large amount of physical energy consumption.

One ebbs and another, Ma Long went berserk in the fourth quarter, and a wave of offense recovered the point difference.

The Sonics can't play anymore, only Gary Payton is still working hard, but the offense with weak gloves is completely incomparable with Malone in a violent state.

As the Trail Blazers quickly opened up the point difference, George Karl's expression also changed from complacent to confused to shocked.

When the Trail Blazers took a 10-point lead over the Sonics and made it 2-0, George Karl's expression became numb.

The Sonics lost Game [-] again.

The media and fans inevitably thought of the history of the Sonics being hacked a few years ago.

Although the public's memory has time, the Sonics were the first to be hacked in the NBA.

For the first time in the world, it is not a problem to remember the years when the Internet was underdeveloped.

So naturally, they started looking for reasons.

After looking around, my eyes were on George Karl, and I really wanted to interview the old man's thoughts.

George Karl is also experienced. He brought the team back to Seattle that day and started closed training.

——Like Riley likes special training before games, George Karl also likes devil training.

The Sonics put their heads down like an ostrich.

The Trail Blazers didn't add insult to injury either. They kept a low profile in interviews and said that the victory or defeat has not yet been decided.

Although they all felt that the Western Conference finals were stable, they couldn't say it out, it was a shame.

There are more superstitions here in North America than in China.

What's more interesting is that many media and fans are interested in Malone's profound physical fitness.

If it weren't for Malone's random inspection after the game, there would be no problem at all.

There is not a drop of urine in the stimulant, bah, there is no stimulant in the urine.

They all suspect that Malone is taking drugs.

Although the NBA's sampling inspection is not comprehensive, it checked Malone very carefully.

This is no problem, the media can only say that Malone's talent is the ceiling.

Although Malone is also embarrassed, he will not stop using props.

Either don't do it, or do it to the end.

Don't do the kind of things that should be done again and again.

In key games like the playoffs, energy drinks are too effective, and Malone will not hypocritically refuse to help.

On May 5, the Trail Blazers came to the Key Arena to challenge the Sonics away.

I don't know whether it was the mentality of being beaten by Malone in the first two games, or George Karl's devil training before the game affected the competitive state.

At 7 p.m., after the game started, the Blazers quickly took the initiative.

After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Sonics by 30 points 25 to 5 and entered the second quarter.

In the second quarter, George Karl let the main players continue to play to chase points.

But Sean Kemp and others fought softly, completely losing the posture of the last iron and blood siege.

When Malone saw that the Sonics were so polite, he became less polite.

When halftime was over, with Malone's 15 points in a single quarter, the Trail Blazers extended their lead to 12 points!
In the third quarter, the Sonics made a counterattack amid the cheers of the fans on the scene, and recovered the point difference to 5 points.

But in the fourth quarter, when Sabonis came on the court, the Trail Blazers gathered the fetters of the twin towers, and the Sonics were crushed by endless low-post singles, and the point difference was widened again.

But this time, no matter how hard the fans cheered, the Sonics couldn't break out as if they were on fire, and lost the game sadly.

In the fourth game, it may be due to enough rest, or it may be that they don't want to be swept away.

The Sonics collectively broke out.

尽管马龙全场打了48分钟拿到35分15板5助攻5盖帽。

But for the Sonics, Gary Payton scored 33 points and Schramf scored 30 points. They shot the Trail Blazers to death by shooting and defended the home court.

The big score was 3 to 1.

Just when the Sonics supporters felt that the Sonics could make a historic comeback, G5 Sean Kemp fouled out with 6 fouls.
Without the Rainman, the rest of the Sonics lasted until three quarters and collapsed.

The Sonics ended up losing Game 99 110-[-].

Trail Blazers 4 to 1, advanced to the finals!
In the East, the Bulls swept the Magic one step ahead of schedule to advance!

Finals, Trail Blazers VS Bulls!
　The team in the group is too strong, which is not easy to write.
