The edge of basketball is compelling

第194章 194天王山之战!1，2，3法则!
"I have stepped on the top of the mountain, and I have fallen into the abyss, but I never thought of giving up!"

Just when the Trail Blazers came to the Holy City with a 2:0 lead, many Trail Blazers fans thought they would come back 3:1, and even swept directly into the next round when the Trail Blazers lost two games in a row!
At the press conference after the fourth game, Zhou Si dropped the sentence at the beginning.

Although he knew that the game in the holy city would be very difficult, Zhou Si did not expect that the team would lose so much that they would have no power to fight back!
The Spurs' style of play has not changed. What has changed is the mentality of the Trail Blazers players. They were frightened by the momentum of the Spurs' home court from the beginning.

Can't make outside shots, and the inside is even more at a loss under Duncan's clutches.

Although Zhou Si played a series of singles to help the team bite the score, but he was exhausted so fast that he was no match for the Spurs' wheel battle!
At this time, Zhou Si felt like returning to the NCAA again!
Although the strength of teammates has improved, the strength of opponents has improved even more!
In the NCAA, he can still change his life against the sky, but in the NBA, he can't do it for the time being with his strength.

The Trail Blazers were slowly being swallowed up like falling into a vortex.

A lot of problems have been exposed in these two games. Zhou Si needs more offensive methods and more physical strength!
Lillard also needs to enrich his offensive methods, other teammates need to improve their self-confidence, improve the stability of outside shots, inside assault and playoff experience, the team's tactical execution also needs to be improved, etc...

But that's all about the offseason and next season, the question now is how to play this series!
Having reached this level, Zhou Si didn't want to give up even if the hope of advancing was slim!
So, the next thing to do is to make a change!
……

On May 5, the Trail Blazers ushered in the fifth "Tianwangshan" battle at home. For team leader Zhou Si, this is undoubtedly a severe test.

The Battle of Tianwang Mountain generally refers to the key battles. For example, the game that wants to grab the match point is called the Battle of Tianwang Mountain. Generally, as long as you win this game, you will have a high probability of winning the final victory, which has a significant impact on the trend of the game. .

For example, the winner of this game will have a 3:2 lead, and the probability of winning the series will be much, much greater!
Before the game, the media made a lot of reports on the game, which attracted the attention of countless people!

Is Zhou Si leading the Blazers to continue to defend the home court, or is the Spurs going to three cities in a row?
Everything is unknown!
Before the game, the Spurs also showed the momentum to win this game!
Duncan said that Game 5 is a game that the Spurs must win. He believes that if they lose this game, the Spurs will play a tiebreaker, which is too much pressure for them.

Before the game started, Barkley talked about yesterday's Tianwangshan battle!
Like the Western Conference semifinals of the Spurs and Trail Blazers, the duel between the Thunder and the Warriors also reached the fifth game. The previous big score was 2:2!
This surprised many reporters who were optimistic about the Thunder!
In the eyes of many media, there are only two super teams in the West: the Thunder and the Spurs.

If the Blazers and Spurs matchup hadn't been for Zhou Si's sudden increase in strength in the first game, killing the Spurs by surprise, and changing his fate against the sky in the second game, and hitting a lore, the Spurs might have swept the Blazers by now. Now, the Spurs have advanced It's only a matter of time!
On the side of the Thunder, the Shuangjun is still fierce!
But the wave brothers who entered the playoffs started to create a tsunami!
Yesterday's battle at Tianwangshan was brilliant, both teams fought for every inch of ground, and it was hard to tell each other until the last 20 seconds.

The score at that time was 118:117, the Thunder trailed by 1 point, and then Durant hit a mid-range step-back jumper under the strict defense of Iguodala and successfully completed the quasi lore, leaving only 0.7 seconds for the Warriors !

When this mid-range shot was hit, the entire energy stadium was boiling, and all Thunder fans felt the adrenaline rush!

After scoring the goal, Durant punched his right chest and pointed his index finger to the sky, extremely domineering!
Just when everyone thought the game was over, Curry moved near the free throw line to avoid Westbrook's personal defense and came to the three-point line to catch Iguodala's serve, then turned around and shot a three-pointer!
Swish!
Basketball buzzer hit!

The scene was instantly silent.

After scoring the goal, Curry was very excited, gritted his teeth and made a celebratory gesture of shaking his head!

His teammates also jumped up to celebrate with him!
This anti-lore is a classic!

With a big score of 3:2, the Warriors overtook a corner, one step closer to the Western Conference Finals.

What made the Thunder fans even more distressed was that after losing the Tianwangshan battle, it was rumored that the two young players had a quarrel in the locker room, which made the situation of the already desperate Thunder team even more difficult!
Going back to the game between the Trail Blazers and the Spurs, after the opening ceremony before the game, the starting players of the two teams appeared one after another.

Spurs side: Parker, Ginobili, Danny Green, Leonard, Duncan!
Trail Blazers: Lillard, Courtney Lee, Miles, Zhou Si, McGee!
Coach Stotts' face became a little ugly after seeing the Spurs' starting lineup!
Change after winning?
Although Manu Ginobili played mediocre before and even told reporters that he was ready to retire, coach Stotts still felt a huge uneasiness in his heart!
The Spurs still implement Popovich's well-researched "1, 2, 3 rule" for Zhou Si!
That is to say, "one man marks without the ball, two people double-team the ball, and breaks through the three-man encirclement"!
Of course, this move is not invincible, but when other Blazers cannot open it, this move is very deadly!
Zhou Si played very tough at the beginning of the game, taking on the heavy responsibility of the team's offensive, killing the Spurs' insiders again and again.

But the most eye-catching player on the court is not him, but the bald Pampas eagle!
The demon sword ushered in an explosion as soon as it opened!
He hit a three-pointer against Courtney Lee when he came up, and then assisted Parker and Duncan in a row.

The latter two benefited, Parker made a mid-range hit, and Duncan scored with a dunk against McGee!
In less than 2 minutes of the start of the game, Ginobili broke through again in a serpentine shape and caused a foul by Courtney Lee. After that, he made two free throws and helped the Spurs start 9:4!
Ginobili scored 9 of 5 points alone, and the other 4 points were also due to his two assists!
The demon sword is out of the body, no one can beat it!
Zhou Si had no choice but to change the defensive strategy he had made with Coach Stotts, and instead defended against Ginobili alone, trying to put the demon knife back into its sheath!
The demon knife was held down by Zhou Si, but the rest of the Spurs opened it!
The first two big victories boosted the morale of the Spurs, and today they also feel hot at the start, GDP each scored 7 points, leading the Trail Blazers by 35 points at 18:17 in the first quarter!
In the second quarter, after a 2-minute break, Zhou Si went into battle again, and began to bombard the outside line indiscriminately!
其中有一球还顶着伦纳德打成“3+1”，半场追到63:50落后13分!
In the third quarter, Zhou Si's hand fell back and Danny Green hit consecutive three-pointers. After the game, the point difference came to 17 points again!
In the fourth quarter, Zhou Si continued to compete with the outside world. After scoring "3+1", he hit a three-pointer in front of Leonard to narrow the point difference to 8 points!
Zhou Si violently scored 18 points in a single quarter, but still failed to defend the next victory for the Trail Blazers!
119: 108!
The Spurs had the last laugh, the Trail Blazers, Dream Break Tianwang Mountain!
