Chapter seven hundred and fortieth: the taste of war
James Harden looked at the score on the big screen in despair, 11o to 1o6, and the Rockets who played at home were four points behind the Warriors.
Logically speaking, the four-point gap is not a score difference that is enough to make people desperate. But the difference is that at the bottom of the scores of the two teams, the number in the game time column has become zero.
"It's over! The Warriors defeated the Houston Rockets with a four-point advantage, successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals, and successfully met with the Trail Blazers! Stephen Curry, this kid may be able to create history! After all, the Warriors are the only team in the West that can defeat the Trail Blazers in the series!" Reggie Miller looked at the No. 3o who was cheering on the court. Although he was also one of the great shooters in nBa history, the young man named Curry in front of him completely changed the rules of basketball games with a three-pointer!
"Tsk." Harden put his waist on his waist and lowered his head, which seemed out of place with this sea of joy. Today, Harden scored 28 points, 11 rebounds, 9 assists with a 55% shooting percentage. It can be said that Harden has a clear conscience and has done his best.
However, the Rockets still lost. Stephen Curry's 6-point three-pointer from 11 ruined the glorious moment of Harden.
Howard has been waiting for Harden at the entrance of the player's passage. This guy really wants to go up and persuade Harden, but he doesn't dare to do this. He only scored 7 points on 3 of 7 shots, which is Howard's contribution on the offensive end today. If he performed better, even if he was a little better, the ending might be completely different?
Howard blamed himself, while Harden was very sad. The Warriors not only won the game, but also defeated the Rockets' confidence...
"We're finally here." In the head coach's office at the Moda Center training ground, there was a scene of Curry celebrating wildly on the TV. Anjie took a sip of coffee and felt extremely bitter.
"In your Chinese words, you are called a crow's mouth." Ricard stretched and a bad opponent was born.
Last summer, Ricard didn't care much about Anger's "Jiang" when he said that the Warriors were likely to be a threat to the team. However, now, with Anger's "Jiangyan", the Warriors are about to meet them on the battlefield in the Western Conference Finals.
"I haven't met such a strong opponent in a long time." Anjie put down his coffee cup, and his mind was still flashing with various highlights of Curry's series. Not only Curry, but also the entire Warriors, are very different from other teams in the league.
They are shorter, they are faster on the court, their three-pointers are very deadly, and in Cole's eyes, the position allocation of players on the basketball court is also very vague.
Such an unusual team is a new challenge even for Anjie. During this regular season this year, the Trail Blazers met the Warriors three times, and the Warriors won two of the games. They are also the only team this season that can defeat the Trail Blazers twice in a row. Judging from this record, Ricard and Anjie’s concerns are not groundless.
In the 82 regular season games, the Trail Blazers lost in a total of eight games, and in these eight games, two of them were lost under the Warriors.
An Jie took a deep breath and got up and prepared to leave. He had to go back early to rest, because from now on to the end of the Western Conference Finals, An Jie would definitely have a very hard time.
Are the Golden State Warriors? A team that dares to challenge the king is ready and will move towards the City of Roses at any time.

"The Legendary Battle is about to begin!"
"...I think this is very likely the toughest enemy the Trail Blazers have encountered in recent years."
"Ann's dominance will be threatened, after all, the Warriors are a team that can solve the game outside the three-point line. The Trail Blazers' set is completely outdated in Coach Cole."
"The war will officially begin on May 19. At that time, 15 large LED screens will be built in the square outside Moda Center. Fans who cannot enter the court to watch the game can also have a carnival with others outside Moda Center..."
"A team that has won 74 wins and a team that has won 67 wins meet in the playoffs. This terrifying showdown has never happened before."
Newspapers, radio, television... almost all media are reporting on the Western Conference Finals. After all, for the city of Portland, the upcoming Western Conference Finals is the most important thing in the near future.
The atmosphere of the war has spread in Portland, and Western Conference Finals promotional posters can be seen everywhere on the streets. Citizens dressed in Trail Blazers players rushed to the streets, and the gate of Moda Center was surrounded by black people every day.
Anjie drove on the streets of Portland. Even if he hadn't arrived at the training ground, he could smell the strong smell of gunpowder. This time, the war really came!
At the same time, the Golden State Warriors' special plane has been safe at Portland International Airport.
After getting off the plane, Curry saw Anjie's huge billboard as soon as possible. But unlike others, Anjie's billboard did not put pressure on Curry, but instead made Curry look forward to it.
It must be very interesting to be able to fight such a legendary guy!
Curry looked at the billboard, compared his right hand to a pistol-shaped body, and aimed at Anjie in the advertisement.
"Bang!" Curry made a "gunshot" with his mouth. On the field, he would use his own performance to "hit" An Jie himself!
"Stephen!" Cole's shout made the "gun bandit" put down the weapon in his hand.
"Come!" Curry turned around with a smile. He was not saying this word to Cole, but declaring war on the whole of Portland!
Legend!? I respect you, so I will defeat you with my own hands!
Every street in Portland is filled with the atmosphere of war. The Trail Blazers and Warriors players are working hard to train and prepare for this doomed tragic battle.
In order to make Warriors players train more comfortable, they even outsourced an indoor training ground with a full range of facilities. This way, the players of the two teams can avoid meeting early.
Time is spent quickly in sweat and hard work. Soon, on May 19, the day when the Western Conference Finals started finally came!
On this day, the entire Portland was crowded except for the area around Moda Center.
Fans are either at Moda Center or at home watching the game live on TV.
Sports media from all over the world have also poured into the City of Roses. Compared with the deserted decisive atmosphere of the Eastern Knights and the Eagles, the game between the Trail Blazers and the Warriors is the real heavyweight.
"Defeat the Warriors! Defeat the Warriors! Defeat the Warriors!..." The Warriors players just came on the court to warm up and felt the "passion" of Portland fans.
Curry gritted his braces and looked around, Moda Center, and he was indeed sitting there without absent! All the fans present wore dark red short sleeves, and the whole scene looked very spectacular.
"Do you know Clay!" In such an atmosphere, even if Thompson is next to Curry, Curry must communicate with his backcourt partner in a roar way. "I just like to win in such an atmosphere!"
After saying that, Curry bit his braces back into his mouth and began his own shooting warm-up.
On the other hand, Anjie, who had already practiced sweating, put down the basketball and looked at the Warriors' warm-up area.
You are indeed very strong and younger. Your basketball is likely to change the rules of the entire basketball world.
But no matter what, Anjie will not let the Warriors get what they want. In the face of O'Brien Cup, Anjie will not compromise with anyone!
"Come on Stephen! Let me see how capable you are!" Anjie clenched his fists. When Duncan, Kobe, James and others threatened him less and less, a new strong enemy suddenly appeared.
This is nBa. Your opponent will keep changing and becoming stronger. The only thing you need to maintain is to keep winning!
