The edge of basketball is compelling

Chapter 173 173 Everything is mine!
April 4, Portland, Rose Garden Arena!
That night, the entire arena turned into a sea of ​​red!
After a lapse of three years, watching the Blazers' strong rise and returning to the playoffs all the way, the Portlanders feel extremely excited!
"Zhou——!!!"

"Zhou——!!!"

"Zhou——!!!"

The whole audience chanted Zhou Si's surname in unison, as if they were the most devout believers!
Everyone in the media is amazed by this scene!
Zhou Si's impeccable performance has conquered all Portlanders, and the Rose Garden has become a holy place in the hearts of Portlanders!
"Warriors from Portland, let the sailors see the true power of the City of Rip!
I know that some media say that we have no foundation, and that we achieved this result in the regular season is just luck!
Now, let them see how powerful you are!"

On the sidelines, Coach Stotts' deep and magnetic voice rang in the players' ears!
The already enthusiastic Blazers players can't wait to play a battle now!
Zhou Si didn't say anything, just pointed to himself:
I have everything!
Originally, those rookies who participated in the playoffs for the first time were still a little nervous, but after seeing Zhou Si's actions, they felt inexplicably at ease!
What are you afraid of, Zhou is here!
Unknowingly, Zhou Si has become the existence of Dinghai Shenzhen.

Although, many people selectively forget that Zhou Si is also participating in the playoffs for the first time, and he is even just a rookie...

Not far away, the Clippers players were in a mixed mood. Judging from the records of regular season matches, it was difficult for them to win against the Trail Blazers.

In other words, the Blazers are the most feared opponents of the Clippers, none of them!
Of course Durant and the others in the Western Conference's No. [-] Thunder team are also afraid, but they can also bet on Durant's touch by using double-team tactics.

Zhou Si, on the other hand, has a strong offense and a strong coping ability, making it even more difficult to defend against!
Paul, Griffin, and Jordan all had very serious expressions on their faces, which was in great contrast to the laughing and joking of the Trail Blazers!
Soon, the starting lineups of the two teams appeared on the big screen at the scene.

Clippers: Paul, JJ Redick, Matt Barnes, Griffin and Jordan!
Trail Blazers: Lillard, Courtney Lee, Zhous, Millsap and Leonard!
The Clippers did not adjust their starting lineup, but the Trail Blazers put Courtney Lee and Leonard on the starting lineup!
Facing an off-ball guard like JJ Redick, Courtney Lee's defensive effect is much better than Matthews.

Leonard's words are obviously to open up space.

Since your Clippers have weak flanks, then I will watch your flank attack!
When jumping the ball, Leonard thought about it and then quickly returned to defense.

Compared with the jumping ability, he is far behind that beast of Jordan.

As coach Stotts expected before the game.

The Clippers are still the same old routine in the regular season, with a success rate of playing in the off position!
Paul and Griffin pick and roll and pass the ball to Griffin who rolls down.

At the basket Leonard was very tough against Jordan, not giving him the opportunity to work in the air.

"Kangdang—!"

Griffin sees the iron first and respects it!
Millsap turned around to protect the backcourt rebound.

Leonard knew very well that he couldn't grab Jordan's rebounds, so he just pushed against Jordan fiercely, only stuck in position, and didn't jump.

The Clippers retreated very quickly and did not give the Blazers a chance to counterattack.

Unlike the regular season, the playoffs are much more targeted than the regular season, and many players will perform abnormally.

That's why there is a saying that the playoffs are the stage to test the ability of stars.

Coach Stotts frowned, the Clippers' retreat was a bit interesting.

Zhou Si dribbled the ball across the half court and looked at the slender Barnes in front of him without hesitation.

Although Barnes is not a well-known defensive gate in the league, he can entangle the opponent with his wingspan and enthusiasm and make the opponent feel uncomfortable!
"Boom!"

After a loud noise, Zhou Si directly crushed Barnes and passed by!
Entanglement? Consumption?
nonexistent!
I crush it straight away!
"Shh!"

Zhou Si's picturesque mid-range hits steadily!
"Zhou——!"

"Zhou——!"

"Zhou——!"

The entire Rose Garden resounded with cheers in unison!
"Zhou Si played really tough!" Barkley exclaimed.

In such a big scene, Zhou Si is still as fearless as before!
"The playoffs are a battleground for tough guys!"

O'Neill nodded in agreement!
Here, jerks just get kicked out!
Survival of the fittest, no one will sympathize with the weak!
Basketball is a competitive game!
On the court, Paul slowly dribbled the ball across half court and continued to attack.

Redick?
no chance!
Barnes?
Zhou Si's defense seemed to be very lax, but Paul still did not pass the ball, and the offensive tactics arranged by Coach Rivers were not as important as Barnes.

It's still Paul and Griffin's pick-and-roll.

Griffin took off directly after receiving the ball down!
If I can't make the middle distance, I can always dunk, right?
"Beep--!"

"Griffin, offensive foul, two-point goal invalid!"

Griffin, who dunked and landed, immediately became anxious, and stepped forward to argue with the referee.

Leonard grinned when Zhou Si and Millsap got up.

Fortunately, he did a very good protective action just now, otherwise he might have been injured when he landed like that!
The possession of the ball was changed, and Zhou Si continued to dribble across the half.

Since the third position has an advantage, why not keep playing?
Just past the three-point line, Barnes posted it viciously!
He knew he couldn't guard Zhou Si, so he just wanted to consume Zhou Si's physical strength!
dong dong dong!
Matt has been around, not a single leaf is on his body!
Zhou Si's easy killer crossover passed Barnes, and made an emergency stop before the three-point line!
The Clippers' defensive strategy in position today is very interesting, using Matt Barnes to defend against Zhou Si alone.

Zhou Si didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Coach Rivers' gourd, so he just did it!
"Shh!"

There are also three points!
"Zhou——!"

"Zhou——!"

"Zhou——!"

The audience at the Rose Garden felt that Zhou Si was going to explode again today!
Clippers attack!
Still Paul and Griffin pick and roll!
Griffin, who rushed inside, kept his eyes open this time, and after attracting Leonard's attention, he passed the ball to Jordan!
"boom!"

Jordan's hook was directly blocked by Zhou Si, who was helping to defend!
His offense is stiff and slow, about the same as Howard's.

"Nice cover!
Little Jordan is too careless!
Zhou Si is the new block king!"

Ke Fan roared excitedly.

"Hey, it's not that he was careless, but Xiao Zhou is so good, he can always run in the opponent's blind spot, and then appear in the right position to complete the block!"

Director Zhang blew.

"The same goes for tackles!
Xiao Zhou's defense is really too strong!"

Ke Fan nodded in agreement!
"Xiao Zhou, shoot him!"

"Shh!"

Zhou Si made an emergency three-pointer after consecutive changes of direction, and hit it again!
0: 8!
Zhou Si felt hot in the opening game and scored eight points in a row!
