Chapter 719: 719. The Peak Stone Buddha

The Trail Blazers showed momentum in the first quarter, overwhelming the Spurs on the road.

But the good times didn't last long.

In the second quarter, Duncan and Finley both scored 9 points, and Ginobili scored 5 points and 2 assists.

Parker delivered the ammunition well and scored 3 points and 4 assists. One of the wings was left open and he slowly made a three-pointer.

In the entire second quarter, only four of the Spurs scored, but only four of them scored 26 points.

Popovich's dead grass star's offensive style is brought to the extreme!

And the Trail Blazers have a big problem - they have three big stars, and no one else can score!

Randolph had 5 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists in the second quarter. Both assists were obtained by grabbing offensive rebounds and then throwing them to Liu Xiu, which cannot be considered as an offensive performance.

Ray Allen scored 6 points, a three-pointer and a counterattack to connect with Liu Xiu's dunk for 2+1.

Liu Xiu scored 9 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.

The three of them performed very well. The three of them only took 14 shots in the second quarter and scored 20 points. However, their teammates were either blocked or beaten in 8 shots and failed to score a single point in the second quarter.

The Spurs scored 26-20 in a single quarter!

After halftime, the Trail Blazers were overtaken by the Spurs by 1 point!

The situation of the Trail Blazers in the second quarter was actually the same as in the first quarter. The three major stars took 12 shots and scored 19 points in the first quarter, and their teammates took 9 shots and scored 6 points.

In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers failed to guard Duncan, and the advantage was taken back by the Spurs.

In the third quarter, the Spurs continued their efforts and scored 24-19, extending their lead to 6 points.

The Trail Blazers failed to form a substantial counterattack in the final quarter. Although they won 23-21 in one quarter, they were unable to restore the defeat.

In the end, the Spurs defeated the Trail Blazers 91-87, holding on to the home court advantage they had regained, leading the Trail Blazers 2-1!



After the game, Liu Xiu received the loser's consolation of 250 healing points.

He made 12 of 27 shots and scored 34 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists. Ray Allen made 7 of 15 shots and scored 20 points and 3 assists. Randolph made 7 of 17 shots and scored 17 points and 21 rebounds.

The three brothers scored 71 points, but the team only scored 87 points.

After analyzing the game, he felt that it was really hard for the Spurs to win!

The Spurs are good at locking down role players' shots, and they did that tonight.

The Spurs are also very good at one-on-one defense, flanking, and cutting off defense, and they did it tonight.

That is to say, the three of them are all on the line. He relied on singles, Ray Allen shot against the defense, and Randolph had 9 offensive rebounds in a single game. The three of them led the team to the end.

In other words, if the Spurs' offense is even worse, the three of them will defeat the Spurs with their hard power.

Ginobili scored 20 points and Finley scored 16 points. The two Spurs substitutes performed brilliantly.

But the best thing is still the center who tied for the highest score in the game-Tim Duncan!

On 12 of 21 shots and 10 of 15 free throws, Duncan scored 34 points, 18 rebounds, 1 steal and 6 blocks.

Randolph grabbed more offensive rebounds, but he almost cried when Duncan blocked him.

Obviously, this year's Duncan is better than last year's Duncan.

Liu Xiu laughed out loud, a forced smile.

Two years ago, when I was 27 or 28 years old, I just experienced plantar fasciitis. The outbreak accelerated and the bullet speed was destroyed. At the age of 30, you told me that he has made progress...

But his ability evaluation of 97, more concise and skillful low-post footsteps, more accurate mid-range shots, and better shot selection... After 3 games, Duncan averaged 32 points per game and shot 56.1% from the field. The last time Duncan was so irritable,

It was still 2003, when Duncan was in his prime and had just won two consecutive MVP awards.

Liu Xiu thought for a while, maybe Duncan was adjusting his playing style after being injured last year, and he has fully adapted to it this year.

In addition, there is another possibility - being stimulated by the Eastern Conference Finals.

The little giant and the big shark were wreaking havoc, and Shi Fo was jealous, and his warden turned into a pond fish...



After 3 games, they were trailing 1 to 2. In terms of public opinion, the criticism against the Trail Blazers was not that great.

The point difference in the three games was extremely small. The point difference in G1 was two points, the point difference in G2 was 1 point, and the point difference in G3 was only 4 points.

After playing two more games, people found that the iron-blooded battle was also very interesting, and with this point difference, anything could happen.

Hubie Brown predicted when evaluating this series that the Spurs may win two games in a row and advance directly, but it is also very possible that the Trail Blazers win three games in a row and advance directly.

Fans like this unpredictable situation even more.

The ratings for this year's Eastern Conference Finals were ridiculously high. In addition to the eye-catching duel between the two centers Yao Shark, the two teams showed similar strength in the playoffs, and the outcome was unpredictable.

This point difference is also the reason why the Trail Blazers are struggling but maintaining confidence.

On May 30, Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Pistons and the Heat went on as scheduled.

Yao Ming had 31 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, Carter had 31 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, Billups had 21 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists, Ben Wallace had 8 points and 17 rebounds... The Pistons defeated the Heat 106-99.

After two consecutive games, the score was 3 to 1, reaching match point!

O'Neal played 46 minutes tonight, scoring 36 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks, which was a lonely performance.

Five of his teammates scored in double figures, but Wade's 13 points, White Chocolate's 12 points, Posey's 12 points, Haslem's 10 points, and Walker's 10 points were all useless!

Fans can feel the difference between this game and the previous three games. No one expected that it would be Ben Wallace who became the key turning point!

Tonight, Ben Wallace grabbed 17 rebounds, 9 offensive rebounds, and 8 defensive rebounds, allowing his teammates to shoot with confidence. As a result, Billups shot 7 of 13. This is his feat.

The best shooting performance since the start of the final.

However, even if the score is 3 to 1, people still feel that the Eastern Conference Finals is still worth watching.

Even Ben Wallace started C, and the Pistons still only won by 7 points. In the last minute, people felt that there was still suspense.



After a day's rest, on May 31, the Trail Blazers came to the ATT Center again to challenge the Spurs away from home.

After the G2 ratings plummeted, by G4, the Western Conference Finals ratings returned to the level of G1.

However, after the first quarter, the game became one-sided, with the Spurs leading the Trail Blazers by 8 points 27 to 19!

Duncan made 6 of 8 shots in a single quarter, plus 4 of 4 free throws, soaring 16 points!

The fans in front of the TV started to curse again. They were about to vomit blood. What about the most intense Western Conference Finals that was promised? This is it?

Then, Liu Xiu had 7 points, Ray Allen had 7 points, Randolph had 4 points, Kwame Brown had 4 points, Flying Squirrel had 8 points, Payton had 4 points... The Trail Blazers soared by 34 points in the second quarter!

The Spurs performed steadily and scored 26 points in the second quarter.

After halftime, the two teams were tied at 53!

This rollercoaster-like score made the hearts of the onlookers almost jump out of their chests.

The Flying Squirrel made 4 of 8 shots in the half, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, plus 1 of 2 free throws. He scored 11 points in 9 minutes in the half!

Raheem, the current best sixth man, was basically useless when encountering Duncan.
