Chapter 432 Easy Victory
Chapter 432 Easy Victory
The second game between the Warriors and the Trail Blazers was played on April 4, and it was still at the Warriors' home court.
Like the first game, the Blazers quickly fell behind at the beginning of the game.
The Blazers trailed the Warriors by 23 points at 35:12 in the first quarter.
Entering the second quarter, the Blazers' offensive efficiency still didn't improve much, but the Warriors also suddenly felt cold.
Originally, the offense went smoothly in the first quarter, but in the second quarter, it suddenly got stuck. No matter how many shots were made, no one could make any shots.
Faced with this situation, Li Weisi naturally needs to stand up in this situation. He also scored 11 points in this quarter alone. You must know that the Warriors only scored 21 points in this quarter. It can be said that Li Weisi alone He scored more points than the rest of the Warriors combined.
With the efforts of Li Weisi, the Blazers' attempt to chase points was contained. At the end of the half, they trailed the Warriors by 46 points 56:10.
In the second half, the feel of the two sides recovered, and the offensive efficiency became higher. Compared with the Blazers team working together, the Warriors, except for Li Weisi, did not perform very well.
Ma Long, who played well in the last game, can only be described as a pass in this game.
This allowed the Blazers to narrow the point difference to only 3 points in the third quarter.
Fortunately, it was Li Weisi again. He split the ball to the empty-cut Richmond and caused a foul on Danny Young who was defending him. He made two free throws and brought the point difference back to 5 points.
Then the Warriors came off the bench, and after an operation between Price and Hornacek, the point difference returned to 10 points.
However, compared with the previous game, the Warriors entered the fourth quarter with only a 10-point lead. Obviously, there is no way to clock out in three quarters.
The Blazers naturally continued to reduce their rotation time tonight. Drexler, Porter, and Kersey led the bench respectively. The playing time of the three, in this game, is all heading for 40+.
But the benefits of their doing so have also emerged. Not only did the Warriors not allow the Warriors to open the score off the bench, they even approached the point difference again at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
It can be said that the Blazers' performance tonight is full of resilience.
However, with the return of the Warriors starting lineup, Li Weisi and Mullin each hit a three-pointer, and the point difference returned to more than 5 points.
This is not over yet, Li Weisi then created Potter a three plus one at the most critical moment, directly killing the game.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Trail Blazers 113:105, expanding the series to 2:0, and the next two teams will move to Portland for the third game.
Faced with a life-and-death battle, the Blazers were obviously unwilling to give up, so they were swept away by the Warriors, and they couldn't bear it.
However, in the third game, Mullin and Richmond, who had performed poorly in the first two games, finally broke out in a game.
The two scored 15 points together in the first quarter, taking half of the Warriors' scoring.
As for the Blazers, in order to win this game, they also took great pains. In this round of the series, they will change their formations in every game. Tonight is the third time they have changed their formations.
After finding out that Danny Young and Caldeville Jones were not good enough, they started Steve Johnson in this game.
But now it seems that the effect is not very ideal.
But the Blazers' persistence was not without effect, and the situation changed in the second quarter.
Facing a 5-point deficit in the first quarter, the Blazers suddenly set off a wave of counterattacks in the second quarter. The continuous defense successfully pushed back and evened the difference between the two teams in an instant. After that, Porter even Hit two three-pointers in a row, and the point difference was overtaken to 6 points.
This is not only the first time the Blazers have led in the entire series, but also the first time the Blazers have led by more than 5 points.
So, by the end of the first half, the Blazers had already led the Warriors by 54 points at 49:5.
For the Blazers, this boosted morale, and the fans at the scene were even more rejoiced. Although they knew that it would be difficult for the team to defeat the Warriors in this series and advance to the next round, at least this game let them see Here comes the hope of victory.
However, this hope came suddenly and went even more suddenly.
After the game entered the third quarter, the situation took a turn for the worse. Under the tandem of Li Weisi, Mullin, Richmond, Malone and even Rodman all scored one after another. The Warriors not only caught up with the score, but even got bigger and bigger , 5 points, 10 points.
By the end of the third quarter, the Warriors had led the Blazers by as much as 90 points with 76:14.
In the last quarter, the Blazers used all their strength to chase points, and once narrowed the point difference to less than 10 points.
It has to be said that this is no small achievement to bring back the Warriors' starting lineup.
But that's all there is to it.
With the return of the starting lineup, in just 3 minutes, the point difference was once again opened to 15 points, and there was no hope of recovery.
As time passed by every minute and every second, the Blazers players on the field gradually fell into despair, and the previously incomparably determined eyes gradually dimmed and became numb. In the end, they had no choice but to accept the reality.
The depressed atmosphere does not only exist on the court, but also permeates the entire arena, even in a box above the arena.
"Damn it, it seems that the Blazers are still far from your Warriors, and they were swept away!" Paul Allen shook his head, and laughed and cursed at Frank beside him.
Tonight, Frank didn't stay on the sidelines, but sat in Allen's box and watched the game with him.
"Of course, you want to directly take over a championship team. Is it possible? Besides, what's the point of that? Only the cultivation system can cultivate a small team into a championship team, which will bring us huge benefits Satisfaction, just like me now!" Frank's words revealed the word "proud" inside and out, and he almost wrote the words "you praise me" on his face.
"Are you so confident? What if you don't win the championship this year?" Allen was not used to him, and deliberately hit him.
"So what, at worst, wait another year. Anyway, I'm still young and have plenty of time!" Although Frank said so, if Frank really had to wait another year to win the championship, Frank would definitely scold her.
"It doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with it!" Allen stroked his glasses, and there was a hint of envy in his eyes. The troubles of cancer made him experience a lot of troubles, which naturally made him feel envious of Frank's age.
"Finally ready to buy it?" Frank asked, taking a sip of his beer.
"Yeah! If I don't buy it again, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait!" Alan jokingly followed what Frank said just now.
"Maybe don't talk about you, even I can't wait for that day?"
"Is it really appropriate to be so vicious?"
"I'm happy, I'm happy! Can you control it?"
In fact, Paul Allen bought the Blazers in 88. The reason why the novel will be postponed to 89 is because of Frank's butterfly effect on the one hand, and on the other hand, mainly because I forgot! ! !
