"Let's congratulate the Portland Trail Blazers!"

"They successfully defeated the Spurs in the tiebreaker and advanced to the Western Conference Finals."

"See you the day after tomorrow!"

…

After Zhou Si hit the putback dunk that might decide the game, the Spurs still retained hope of equalizing the score!

But at the last moment, Ginobili's angry pass was intercepted by Zhou Sifeitian again!

Duncan rushed forward and fouled!

Zhou Si did not miss both free throws like Lillard, but made two free throws amidst the roar of the audience!

92:97!

The game has completely lost its suspense!

As Ginobili missed a three-pointer from outside, Zhou Si, who was sent to the free throw line, made two free throws again, and the game was completely over!

The moment the timer reached zero, Duncan's pupils seemed to lose color.

Year after year, do I still have a future?

Looking at the carnival pioneers, the colors in Duncan's eyes gathered again, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sultry smile!

The future is still mine!

Now, let me leave it to you!

Congratulations, little devil.

…

"Demon, you are really amazing!"

"Zhou, I love your extra deduction so much!"

Zhou Si was surrounded by his teammates and enjoying the joy of victory!

Tactics for beating the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals?

Leave it to tomorrow to think about it!

Cheers, Portland!

Have fun celebrating!

…

The next day, in addition to the regular physical recovery training, Zhou Si had a long video call with Coach Stotts and Coach Nelson, talking about many ways to beat the Warriors!

Although the three of them agreed that the Spurs are stronger, the Warriors' lineup is more powerful than them.

That night, the Eastern Conference finals started first.

This game is really exciting, with needles hitting each other and sparks hitting the earth!

This game was broadcast live on Tencent Sports, attracting everyone's attention!

After the game officially started, the two teams did not disappoint everyone and played extremely fiercely!

It's a bit similar to the life-and-death battle that just ended with the Trail Blazers and Spurs. The scores between the two teams have been clenching and alternating with each other. No team can open the point difference to more than ten points throughout the game!

Rose, who was in hot form after the start of the playoffs, continued his explosive performance, scoring 32 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists!

James performed even better, scoring typical "LeBron James" statistics, 30 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists!

The winner of this game was Boozer. He had been invisible since the playoffs before and he exploded in this game!

Mid-range, basket, and hook shots against Bosh are all accurate!

Bosh had no temper until the end of the fight!

24 points and 15 rebounds!

Boozer finally deserves his big contract for once!

Bosh, one of the Big Three, only scored 11 points and 1 rebound.

The Heat's weakness inside is once again on display in front of the world!

107:96, the Bulls won the away game first and gained the home court advantage!

On May 19, the first game between the Trail Blazers and Warriors kicked off at the Rose Garden Arena.

The Warriors eliminated the Thunder, the top team in the Western Conference, 4-2 and got five days of rest, while the Trail Blazers only had two days of rest after playing the tiebreaker. The Warriors had the advantage physically.

Trail Blazers fans are very glad that the game is played in Portland. If the game is played in Oakland, including the travel time, the Trail Blazers will have less rest time!

After the game started, the Warriors also showed the Trail Blazers how they eliminated the favorites Lakers and Thunder to get here step by step.

Entering the playoffs, the excitement was full. This game started with a run and bombardment of the Trail Blazers, leading to a 9:2 spurt!

Zhou Si's smile was a little bitter. In the last round, coach Stotts was still thinking about how to evade the Spurs, but he didn't expect that he would be evaded now!

It's okay to be behind by the score, but it was only the first quarter, and the situation the Blazers least wanted to see happened!

When the Warriors attacked, Zhou Si let Curry go to guard Thompson, who had hit three consecutive three-pointers before, and Lillard guarded Curry.

Boom, boom, boom!

After a period of probing, Curry got unlucky twice and directly knocked Lillard to the ground and hit a three-pointer!

Zhou Si rushed over and saw Lillard lying on the ground with a changed expression, and knew something was wrong!

The team doctor came up for emergency treatment and took Lillard back to the medical room for treatment.

Then the news came that he had a stress ankle sprain.

He is too tired!

After the game continued on the field, the Trail Blazers players shared the same hatred, but after the first quarter, the Warriors still led 32:23 by 9 points.

Lillard's injury casts a shadow over the Trail Blazers' future.

In the following games, just like the regular season, the Blazers' lack of defensive ability on the perimeter was once again exposed.

Zhou Si's defense is top-notch, but other than him, Courtney Lee can barely be considered first-rate, Miles can only be considered second-rate, and Matthews is barely second-rate, let alone the likes of Casspi and Ye Ze.

said.

On the Warriors, Curry's offense is top-notch, Thompson is usually top-notch but can be top-notch when he goes crazy, and CJ McCollum's offense can also be considered top-notch.

Zhou Si can still only focus on Curry most of the time, and guard Thompson when he shows signs of breaking out.

The voice in Zhou Si's heart became louder and louder:

This summer we must strengthen, strengthen and strengthen again!

On the defensive end, the gourd floated, and on the offensive end, Zhou Si was also targeted.

However, unlike Popovich, the strategy arranged by Cole, who did not have a professional background, is to use Iguodala to lead the entire defense, mainly defend three-pointers, engage in physical confrontation, and selectively play in the mid-range.

Then Iguodala forced Zhou Si to the basket whenever he had the chance, forming a containment situation with Bogut.

Cole's tactical arrangements were very resolute, even stubborn. Even though Zhou Si hit 5 consecutive mid-range shots, he still did not change his defensive strategy.

This season is Cole's first season coaching the Warriors, but in just the first season he has led the Warriors to make earth-shaking changes.

Fourth in the regular season, they defeated the Lakers one after another and the Thunder entered the Western Conference Finals.

Steve Kerr's coaching ability has been recognized by many experts.

In this game, Zhou Si scored a crazy 53 points, and his shooting percentage was not low at 52%, but even this failed to bring the Trail Blazers a victory.

127 to 115, the Warriors relied on their turbulent offense to defeat the Trail Blazers on the road to gain home court advantage.

The problem of the Blazers' lack of depth in the lineup was fully exposed after this game.

Once Lillard was injured, apart from Zhou Si, the Trail Blazers could no longer find a second stable point to attack with the ball.

After Billups became the main force, the Trail Blazers couldn't even find a qualified backup point guard.

Two days later, the second game was even more exaggerated than the first.

Kerr started the game with a small lineup of Curry, McCollum, Thompson, Iguodala and Bogut that was unconventional in the eyes of academics.

It seemed that he had completely given up on defense, but in fact he completely captured the Blazers' seven inches.

Except for Zhou Si, the other players are basically functional players. In addition, they are used to playing positional battles in the long series with the Spurs. The Trail Blazers players are very unaccustomed to facing the Warriors who almost never attack for more than ten seconds.

.

The Warriors, on the other hand, were faster and more accurate, and they got off to a dream start of 21:8.

Then there was a huge hole dug at the beginning that the Trail Blazers didn't fill until the end of the game.

129:104!

The Warriors win again!

Although they knew that it would be difficult for the Trail Blazers to play against the Warriors without Lillard, no one expected such a situation.

Including Zhou Si.

Are they really going to kill the experienced, offensive and defensive Spurs as predicted by ESPN, only to lose to the eccentric Warriors?
