The edge of basketball is compelling

Chapter 824 824 Ups and downs!Let the heart return!
Because of the old Carter's dream of returning to the top and Zhou Si's fuel, the Thunder killed the game at the beginning of the second quarter.

Coach Stotts was very bitter, even if he called a timeout in time and replaced all the starters, it didn't help.

Carter Sr., who has fully taken off, told the youngsters why he is still in the league:
"Brother, you can still fly!"

After the first half,
The Thunder have led the Trail Blazers by 72 points 51 to 21!
At the end of halftime, Carter Sr. scored 17 points wildly!
But the one with the highest score was Zhou Si.

Although his scoring always feels piecemeal, he also scored 20 points in the first half!
"Ahem, although the surprise is different from what I imagined, it can be regarded as a surprise for the pioneers, right?"

Zhou Si thought during the intermission.

Originally, he was indeed planning to let Carter feint twice, and then output his main force.

Unexpectedly, there were always players on the Trail Blazers watching him closely, and then he adjusted his plan in a timely manner, making old Carter the protagonist on the court.

There was a lot of joy in the Thunder locker room.

There was Anthony before, and there is old Carter.

There are so many thighs around them!

But the old Carter was very excited when he was on the court, but he kept a low profile when he was off the court.

Others don't know, he doesn't know?

Zhou Si, Durant, and Anthony took away most of the Blazers' defensive attention, and the defensive pressure he faced has not been particularly heavy, otherwise even if he is in a state, he may not be able to play this kind of game Woolen cloth.

The players in the Blazers locker room were a little confused.

Before the game, they were ready for the Thunder to be overwhelmed today, but when they thought of Zhou Si, Durant, and Anthony, they never thought of Carter.

Why did this old flying man suddenly flap his wings and go up to the sky?

Nobody knows the answer.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. Even though the fans in the Rose Garden Arena cheered the Trail Blazers wildly, the Thunder did not give the Trail Blazers a chance.

The Thunder players who have seen the Blazers are not at all relaxed.

The scenes of the loss to the Trail Blazers are still imprinted in their minds. If they dare to relax in the face of the Trail Blazers who defeated the Warriors 4-1, it is really courting death.

In the second half, the Thunder played steadily.

In the third quarter, the Thunder always kept the point difference above 15 points.

In the fourth quarter, the Blazers failed to complete the reversal even after betting wildly on three-pointers at the end.

In the end, 124 to 102!

The Thunder made another victory, and won this crucial victory after an initial stalemate!

3 is better than 1!

The Thunder will return to Oklahoma City with match points and a huge advantage!

周斯全场比赛稳稳拿到42分21板12助，老卡特27分5板5助。

Tonight is old Carter's night.

……

That night, the Thunder players returned to Oklahoma City by luxury plane.

No matter how comfortable the hotel bed is, how comfortable is the bed at home?
After winning this game, the morale of all members of the Thunder team has risen visibly.

Moreover, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Carter Sr., the main hero tonight, stood up and delivered a heartfelt speech.

To sum it up is: hold on, don't wave!

Although they have already led 3 to 1, there are very few examples of a 3 to 1 lead being overturned in NBA history, but is there still less history created in the NBA?
Moreover, who knows if Xiao Hua will have a whim in the next day and extend his "behind the scenes" to their extremely lucrative Western Conference Finals?

In addition, their physical exertion in this round of the series is really too serious, and they must recover a wave of blood in order to face their opponents in the finals.

If you worked so hard to kill the Blazers, and then the East took advantage of it, that would be the most worthwhile thing!

Moreover, the Cavaliers, who have already led 2 to 1, have the momentum to quickly solve the Bulls!
……

The G5 Western Conference Finals between the Thunder and the Trail Blazers will start on May 5, leaving only one day for the two teams to recover.

The Blazers flew to Oklahoma City for normal training, while the Thunder continued to have a day off.

This can also see the impact of the team's rotation on the players.

The Trail Blazers have a strong rotation lineup and average playing time, so their physical reserves are much better;

On the Thunder side, even Zhou Si has shown signs of physical exhaustion under the test of the trainer and team doctor.

The Thunder's vacation is not without purpose.

This actually sounded a wake-up call for the Thunder. Fatigue has accumulated to a certain level, and they will be more likely to be injured in high-intensity confrontations.

This is also the reason why Paul, Durant, and Thompson were injured at critical moments in the playoffs in Zhou Si's previous life.

The Thunder currently have few players who can fight. If another player is injured, it is really unthinkable.

It is not impossible to be overturned by a major reversal.

On this night, the G4 game between the Bulls and the Cavaliers was also held at Quicken Loans Arena.

The Cavaliers, who had already grasped the key to victory, did not let the victory slip away, and defeated the Bulls cleanly 97 to 89.

Compared to the Western Conference Finals, the pace of the Eastern Conference Finals is much slower.

The rhythm of the Cavaliers is obviously not to give the Bulls a chance to shoot blindly at a fast speed, just to fight for positions, and then strangle Rose.

Rose was very helpless. In this game, he really carried the team on his shoulders again, but...

No teammates stood up to help!

He can flirt with James or Kaka alone, but with the two of them...

You can refer to the scene where Curry was double-teamed by James and Durant in the previous All-Star Game...

Really pitiful, weak, and helpless!
After the game, Zhou Si sent a message to comfort Rose.

In his opinion, the Bulls should not easily lose this round of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Because... Although Xiao Hua's script is that the Cavaliers enter the finals, the Cavaliers clearly have the upper hand in this round of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Cough cough, it should be time to activate Xiao Hua's "forced tiebreaker" skill next, right?
By the way, Xiao Hua didn't dare to intervene in the Western Conference finals, he should be very boring recently...

……

On the 24th, Oklahoma City, Chesapeake Energy Stadium.

When the Thunder lost the G1 game here a few days ago, many Thunder fans were really nervous.

Because they really felt the danger of the team being eliminated.

In fact, they feel too much right.

G2, G3, G4, the Thunder did not play easily in the three games.

For the vast majority of the time, the Blazers and the Thunder were deadlocked.

If the Thunder team loses the game in G2, it is very likely that the Thunder is behind by a big score!

But when this round of the series returns to Oklahoma City, they really feel like they have escaped and ascended to heaven!
Thanks Anthony, thanks Carter!

I love you guys so much, huh!
Really, if it wasn't for their outburst, it is very likely that they would have tied 2-2 in this round of the series, or even trailed 1-3.

So, the ups and downs of life really come too fast!

Don't say anything, let's end this series and let our hearts go back to where they belong!
