Chapter three hundred and eighty third: the common progress of the Thunder and the Blazers

"Nick Young is still resisting tenaciously, no, this guy's good luck has disappeared. Xiao                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

As soon as Mike Bryn finished speaking, the espn photographer left the camera from the field and took a picture of the Clippers' bench.

There, Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, DeAndrew Jordan and Winnie Denagro sat shoulder to shoulder, but the expressions on the faces of the four men were very depressed.

They all hate this feeling, and they see that the game is not over yet, but they are powerless. This kind of experience of waiting for failure will not feel good if anyone else has it.

Jamal Crawford spent time controlling the ball outside the three-point line, and the Clippers players on the court all walked off the court with their heads down. Of course, this did not include Nick Young, who performed well in this game. This guy who did his own thing and Jamal Crawford was a guy who cared about his own interests more than the team's interests.

Perhaps, Nick Young and Crawford have not met the kind of team that makes him willing to devote his efforts to, so they are less important to win or lose. But at least now, Crawford who wins is not very happy, and Nick Young who fails is not very disappointed.

"Huh... it's over Paul, let's go." Denagro looked up at the big screen again. He hoped that this was just a nightmare, and as long as he continued to look at the bright place, he would wake up.

Unfortunately, the numbers on the big screen will not change anymore, this is a nightmare that Denagro will never wake up.

Chris Paul put a towel on his head, and he doesn't want to appear in the cameras of the reporters now. He doesn't want his relatives and friends to sell newspapers the next day, but he sees that the entire page is so down-and-out.

In sharp contrast to the Clippers, the Trail Blazers who won the victory. Even the "old man" like Marcus Camby hugged his teammates passionately. A victory in such a happy playoff is a kind of enjoyment for both players and fans... Of course, this will not include the Los Angeles Clippers.

"29 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks. Pay attention to the playoffs, An is back!" After the game, O'Neal also reminded the audience of how beautiful An Jie's data is with his exaggerated expression and tone.

"Let's look at the performance of other stars in this game. Aldridge Yi has 9 points and 6 rebounds, Wesley Matthews Yi 2 points, Jamal Crawford Yi yi points, and the Clippers, Chris Paul only scored 4 points, and had 4 mistakes. What about the hit rate? It's also unexpectedly 4 yi! Yes, maybe for other defenders, 4 yi's hit rate is still worth mentioning, but Paul is not a guy of that level. 4 yi's hit rate is obviously not up to him for a core point guard like him! Jordan Jr. is 5 points, a dear guy, what else can I say? Griffin scored the highest 7 points in the team, but the 45 hit rate makes it difficult for him to perform well." O'Neal kept introducing the game situation of many players.

"What does this data mean? Shaq?" Kenny Smith was confused. The players' data had just been let go of it on the big screen, and O'Neal had no reason to repeat it again.

"What can this mean? This means that An is outstanding among this group of people!" O'Neal showed that he, who had originally hated him, was attracted by the guy Anjie like Barkley. Facing others, the two guys with big mouths would make fun of him, and even quarrel with the person they discussed. But facing Anjie, it was difficult for these two guys to say bad things.

"Oh my God, Shaq, you and Charles are definitely crazy. I think we have to post An on the walls of our studio. As long as An appears, your mouth will be sweet and I feel so sweet." Kenny Smith admitted Anger's strength, but considering his working environment, he still complained a few jokes in the live broadcast room.

However, it can be seen from this that Anjie's performance is indeed very outstanding. If it were not like that, O'Neal and Barkley would not have been praised by Anjie frequently.

"I knew that guy would keep up with the pace." Anger's former teammates who were far away in Oklahoma, Durant, Westbrook, Morris and Van Gundy also gathered together to watch the entire game between the Trail Blazers and the Clippers. Morris had long known that his former coach and teammates would not be able to cope with the Clippers, which ranked fifth in the West.

Perhaps the outside world has a correct analysis. The reason why the Trail Blazers fell to fourth place in the West in the last month was probably because Ricard deliberately arranged it!

Others may not know, but Morris is very clear. Ricard cannot do such a thing.

"Don't worry, An will definitely pass the first round smoothly." Durant was not surprised by the victory of the Trail Blazers. He knew Anjie's strength, so he also knew that the result of the game would be like this.

"What if... they passed the second round smoothly?" At this moment, Westbrook's unintentional question instantly calmed the surroundings.

If the Thunder and the Trail Blazers pass the second round at the same time, then these two teams will have to be enemies of each other!

"Don't think too far, let's play the first round first! Let's go back and rest. Will we have a game tomorrow?" Jeff Van Gundy urged the players to leave quickly and turned off the TV in the office himself.

Although the bald man, who was reborn for the second time in the Thunder, did not answer Westbrook's question, in his heart, why didn't he worry about the life of such a thing?...

If you really meet the Trail Blazers led by Anjie, you will definitely be an opponent who is too bad to be worse!

Van Gundy now hopes that Anjie can achieve good results and that Anjie can be eliminated soon... He hopes that his former disciples can make a big splash, but he hopes that his team can go smoother.

................

The playoffs are different from regular season and NCAA's crazy March. The victory of Yi games only means that you are temporarily leading, and does not mean that you will be the last one. In history, there are even examples of falling behind two games and completing a reversal. Therefore, the total score of Yi over O is not a reassuring advantage.

The Oklahoma City Thunder knew this, so they did not relax because of their first game victory. Durant and his teammates fought to beat the Nuggets again in their second home court in Oklahoma!

And it is not only the Oklahoma City Thunder. Although Angel and Ricard are famous for playing March Crazy, these guys are also very good at thinking in the series.

"I tell you! The victory in the last game is nothing! You all know that in this game, the Clippers will only counterattack more! Not to mention that their performance is worse than the last game, even if you perform like the last game, it will be difficult for you to win again. Listen to me, I want you to perform better than the last game! The opponent becomes stronger, and you can only defeat him if you become stronger!" Ricard yelled seriously, making all players have to be 18 points.

After the game started, the Clippers' resistance was indeed completely different from the last game! If the Clippers who participated in the playoffs for many years have not adapted to the last game, then today, they have completely performed at the playoff level!

In the 1st quarter, Paul's assists and breakthroughs, Griffin's running and dunks, and Randy Foye's precise shooting all made the Clippers force the Trail Blazers to death.

Even De Andrew Jordan's enthusiasm is very different from the last game! This is the first time Anjie feels how huge the defensive pressure on his back is.

The Clippers did fight a lot, and they seemed to understand the principle that they had to go home if they lost the playoffs. But basketball is not the kind of sport that can win games with ferocity.

In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers, who devoted more energy to defense, immediately brought the young Griffin and DeAndrew Jordan back to their original form!

Griffin can still score, but his scoring efficiency is definitely not the efficiency that an inside player should have. DeAndrew Jordan can still perform shocking jaw dropping air relay occasionally, but his scoring opportunity is only a few times.

In the first game, the Trail Blazers' defense has already made the Clippers miserable.

Today, after Griffin, Paul and others strengthened their offensive, the Clippers were surprised to find that the Blazers' defensive strength could actually be improved!

After Griffin and Jordan Jr. were seen dead, Paul also changed his organizational policy. He assigned more opportunities to Randy Ferer and Caron Butler, but among these two, only Ferer completed his mission.

At the end of the half-time game, the Clippers barely grabbed the score. 47 to 5yi. Although the Trail Blazers were ahead, they were forced to work very hard on the scene.

"Fitness defense, do you know what it means to be close to your opponents? If you don't give in, I want you to stick to your opponents to death! Don't be afraid of their breakthroughs, An will solve this problem for you. What you have to do is to make your opponents difficult to connect the ball!" During the halftime break, Ricard issued a close-fitting order to his outside players.

Why do this? It's very simple. If Griffin and Jordan Jr. are both restricted, if the Clippers' second and third positions are locked, then Paul will be isolated again!

Paul is indeed very good at scoring, but what he is more fatal is his steady organization and accurate pass. If Paul is isolated, then his two biggest advantages will be unsatisfied.

So in the third quarter, the Clippers players showed their previous offensive routines and lost their effect in the face of the Trail Blazers' defense.

Randy Ferrey and Caron Butler tried to break through with Matthews and Wallace's defense, but Anger's successful defenses still gave them the idea.

Now, the only person in the Clippers who can score has become Paul again!

"I made another mistake! Chris Paul made 4 mistakes in the last game, but today, this is his fifth mistake!" The tight defense brought him the difficulty of passing, in addition to Paul being isolated, it also greatly increased his passing difficulty.

Paul, who did not believe in evil, tried to make mistakes every time, proving how excellent the Trail Blazers' defense is.

In the third quarter, the Trail Blazers once again pulled the score away by defending. Denagro fell into despair again. How many bad ideas did George Ricard, the rookie coach, pretend to be in his mind!

In the fourth quarter, Paul still couldn't get rid of the vicious circle of poor performance. His mistakes were still increasing, and the score gap was not closed.

In the last quarter, Anjie also served as the core of the Trail Blazers, helping the team to use strict defense and diversified offense to completely make Paul capsized again!

88 to yio5, the Clippers were originally ambitious, but they lost all two away games in the Rose Garden in Portland!
