Chapter 1342 Warriors advance
The sweep of two strong teams in the Eastern Conference has brought a great commotion to the entire semi-finals!

Since the two teams reached the Eastern Conference finals last season and the Celtics were born to reach the finals, the Cavaliers can be said to be the boss!

Now that the two teams are about to meet again, this is bound to be a series where Mars hits Earth!

And with both sides sweeping their opponents to advance, there are almost no other advantages to speak of, just a hard hammer will do.

It is said.

For this series, the Cavaliers have already started targeted research when they are playing against the Eagles.

Especially Qin Tao.

Because they have James in charge, they will not be at a disadvantage when facing Durant, but there is a high possibility of mutual explosions.

Qin Tao is different.

His presence almost subverted some teams' defenses.

It can be said that among the insiders in this era, few people can completely limit him.

Sometimes it is more because of some problems in his own state, which leads to some unwanted results.

of course.

Since we are human, we have weaknesses.

Although Qin Tao's weakness is not so obvious, it is not impossible to deal with it.

For example, lock the space to put Qin Tao.

In this season's game, because of Durant, few teams will use this tactic.

One is because they still have strong support, and the other is that when Qin Tao encounters this situation, he will often not be as hard steel as before, but will be pulled to a high position and do some supporting work.

In this way, other teammates will be revitalized. On the contrary, because of the deviation of the defensive center of gravity of the opposing team, it will eventually face a situation where more points bloom.

in this way.

If the Cavaliers want to use this tactic, they must first solve these problems.

However, as a quasi-championship team, these arrangements must be much more cautious.

at the same time.

Because both the Western Trail Blazers and the Thunder have won, their schedule will continue to lengthen. It will take some days for the two eastern teams to enter the battle.

So they were training while waiting for the game between the two teams in the West.

May [-]th.

The West will start their first game, a matchup between the Warriors and Trail Blazers.

In the third game, the Blazers sat on their home court and won a victory with their own efforts.

at the moment.

Because they lost to the Warriors in Game [-], they had to go to the Warriors' hometown and find a way to win another game.

Only by continuing to win can they continue to fight, otherwise they will bid farewell to this stage.

Warriors home.

I don't know if it's because the top two in the Eastern Conference have advanced one after another, which made the fans on the scene a little restless.

Some of them looked restless, as if they were looking for someone to argue with.

Think about it too.

They are the team with the second strongest record in the entire league. Not only did they fail to sweep and advance, but they let the Blazers linger for a while. It is true that they are psychologically unbalanced!
So after the players from both sides played, the fans in the stands were really irritable, booing loudly, and almost forgot to cheer for the players of the home team.

When the appearance ceremony began, they used their voices to frantically put pressure on the Blazers.

But what makes them a little depressed is that when the big screen gave the Trail Blazers players' profile pictures, none of these young people showed a feeling of restlessness.

Right.

Their situation is almost the same as that of the Thunder. The core is very young, and all the old cores have left.

But through their own efforts, one tied the league's veteran teams, and this one met one of the strongest offensive teams in the league, and was not swept by the opponent. On the contrary, the results of several games were not much different. , the potential is unlimited!

and so.

Even if this may be their last game, the burden on them is not heavy.

Because their task has been completed long ago, it is already very amazing to be able to reach the semi-finals.

soon.

The starters from both sides came to the field one after another.

The Warriors are still the strongest lineup they are familiar with, with excellent offense and defense, and the most stable in the game.

Here is the Trail Blazers.

Center Mason Plumlee, power forward Alfa Luke Aminu, small forward Maurice Harkless, shooting guard CJ McCollum, point guard Damian Lillard.

The two teams also have double guns in the backcourt. If they fight hard in other positions, the Blazers are not helpless to fight back.

For example, Aminu and Draymond Green.

Although the former's physical fitness is not as strong as the latter's, it is more flexible and the basket is more accurate.

Another example is Mason Plumlee.

Although the technology is definitely not as good as Bogut, both are almost defenders, and his flexibility and explosive power will bring a certain amount of pressure to the latter.

Especially leaving the inside, acting as a blue collar, playing for the core of the team, playing pick and roll screens and so on.

With Plumlee's speed and explosive power, he is much better than Bogut!
so.

Now the basic fight is the core performance of both sides. Whoever plays well will be able to win the game.

of course.

There is another point that cannot be ignored.

The Warriors' bench depth is very strong, while the Blazers are much inferior.

at last.

When Plumlee got the ball for the Blazers, the confrontation between the two teams began.

The first quarter of the game.

The Blazers didn't have any fear at all, and they fought fiercely, just like a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

The Warriors' defense has been damaged to a certain extent, and it cannot limit the Blazers to a certain extent.

So after the first quarter, even though the Warriors were in good shape and scored 27 points, the Blazers were even stronger and scored [-] points.

A mere three-point difference is almost nothing for the two offensive teams.

But the guys from the Blazers are completely worthwhile, and they can suppress the offense a bit, which is really tough!

The second quarter begins.

The state of the two teams is still very hot, and they all feel at a very high point, so the score will also be high.

Relatively speaking.

Their defense in this quarter was not good, but their offense was so smooth that the final score was very even, but the Blazers still had the advantage.

33: 31.

It can be seen how eager the Blazers are to win this game. If they defend better, they may win this game!

Halftime is over.

The scores of both sides directly climbed to more than 60 points, it can be said that they are all on fire!

Intermission.

Steve Kerr was very dissatisfied with the performance of the Warriors, his face was flushed with anger, and his voice was hoarse.

Looking back at the Blazers, their mentality is different.

They have forced the Warriors to this point. If they create some psychological burdens for themselves, it will be no different from sand sculptures.

So they were all laughing and joking, eating and drinking, no matter what level of competition it was.

But after the start of the second half, the ease of the Blazers gradually felt the pressure.

The Warriors put all their energy on offense, which made them more confident and smoother the more they played.

After the third quarter, the Warriors completed a strong overtake and won this quarter with a score of 35:28.

Even if the Blazers lose, they cannot ignore their state.

If it weren't for the Warriors with stronger offensive firepower, I am afraid that the average playoff team will not be able to withstand it.

In the fourth quarter, the Blazers finally took the stance of playing their lives.

Especially Lillard, the core of the team, can be said to directly lead the entire arena within a certain period of time, even the Warriors can't hold back!

pity.

This group of young people played a little longer, but they couldn't stand it in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter.

The Warriors won the game 32:30, and the final score was fixed at 125:121.

At the end of the game, there was warm applause at the minute.

Most of the applause was for the Blazers. The spirit and attitude of these young people is truly admirable.

Besides, it seems that they are just not very lucky. If they are a little bit lucky, this game will be theirs.

The Warriors advanced.
