At 19:00 on the evening of May 2, the G1 battle of the second round finals of the Eastern and Western playoffs officially started.
Since everyone is busy eating the news of Durant leaving the team, the popularity of tonight's two games has inevitably declined.
On the Trail Blazers side, the Trail Blazers players, who came to the Oracle Arena in the Bay Area to watch the game as originally planned, looked a little distracted throughout the game.
On the one hand, today's melon explosion is a bit unexpected, on the other hand, there is really not much to watch in tonight's game.
I don’t know whether it was due to acclimatization or other reasons. In this game, the Spurs performed generally. Leonard, the highest scorer, only scored 19 points, followed by Love with 16 points, Duncan with 14 points, Parker with 11 points, and Parker with 9 points.
Ginobili...
The Spurs' five strongest players only performed like this tonight. How can they be expected to withstand the three-point frenzy of the opposing Warriors?
There was no fierce competition as expected, and there was no anxious moment. When the first quarter of the game ended, the Warriors scored 41 points in a single quarter. They continued to suppress the Spurs in the remaining three quarters, and finally scored 32 points at home.
A big victory and easily won G1.
The Warriors lead the Spurs 1-0 in the series.
Mainly because the Splash Brothers missed shots in this game. In the first quarter, Curry made 4 of 8 shots, including 3 of 5 three-pointers, scoring 11 points. Thompson was not to be outdone, making 4 of 6 three-pointers in the first quarter.
Made 2 of 3 shots and scored 10 points.
The Splash duo scored 21 points in a single quarter, one point more than the Spurs' entire team scored in the first quarter.
After four quarters, Curry scored 38 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and was predictably named the best player in the game.
Thompson contributed 25 points, five rebounds and two blocks, plus Green with 18 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists, Barnes with 12 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, Livingston with 12 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, and Borgette with rebounds, all of whom had 6 points on the bench.
Contributions by Iguodala, Barbosa, Sibes...
The Warriors' win tonight was much easier than expected. Against the Spurs, one of the Western Conference champions, the game turned into an undisputed crushing game.
At the same time, the magnificent performance of Curry and other teammates tonight also made Warriors fans at Oracle Arena full of expectations for the team to break through the second round this year and advance to the Western Conference Finals to avenge the Trail Blazers.
The Warriors and Trail Blazers are now considered rivals.
From the 73 wins during the regular season, the other 75 wins, and the tit-for-tat confrontation between the bosses of both sides, to last year's Western Conference Finals when the Warriors fell at the feet of the Trail Blazers and were forced to interrupt their road to the championship.
All of the above have made countless Warriors fans hate Wang Zelin and the Trail Blazers.
If it weren't for Wang Zelin and his Trail Blazers, the Warriors would have won the championship last season and wouldn't have to wait another season like they do now.
This season, the Trail Blazers and Warriors are undoubtedly the two best teams in the Western Conference and even the entire league. The Warriors are full of confidence in their promotion route, and the same is true for the Trail Blazers next door.
So, let’s get rid of the stumbling blocks in front of us first, and then decide the outcome after meeting the peak!
After the start of the playoffs, the entire Warriors team, from players to fans, was filled with the intense flame of revenge.
…
…
Over in the East, the battle between the Cavaliers and the Heat ended with an ending that surprised everyone.
After leaving the Heat in 2014, James and Wade met again in the playoffs in this series. Unfortunately, things have changed and this time the two met as opponents.
Maybe it was because he met his old owner and good brothers again, but James, who was in a complicated mood, did not show much aggression in this game. He only made 7 hits in 17 shots in the game, including 2 of 7 three-pointers, plus 7 of them.
3 free throws, only 19 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists.
If other people had obtained such data and it would be reasonable, it could even be called excellent for ordinary people.
But the problem is that the player with such statistics is James, who averaged 26 points, 8.5 rebounds, 9.6 assists, 2.3 steals, and 1.3 blocks in the first round series against the Pacers and achieved a near-triple-double!
Therefore, James' performance tonight is undoubtedly a stretch, and the ultimate consequences for the Cavaliers can be imagined.
With the "help" of James, the Heat's best sixth man, the Cavaliers lost the first game of the series while holding the home court advantage, trailing the Heat 0-1.
After the game, James inevitably encountered a period of verbal criticism.
In this regard, James did not choose to escape. Instead, when being interviewed by the media cameras, he first took all the responsibility for the loss on himself, and finally ended the interview with an impassioned answer.
"I assure the fans in Cleveland that the Cavaliers' goal this season has not changed from beginning to end. We are born for the championship!"
…
"It seems that the old man has really let go this time. The Heat are going to be miserable in the future! Tsk, tsk, tsk, poor cheek Wei..."
At home in Portland, Wang Zelin watched the entire live broadcast and became an active superstar. He naturally saw that James had reservations about his performance tonight.
Obviously, Lao Zhan's problem has occurred again. When facing some teams with good brothers, he will always be selective and soft, and sometimes even let the opponent win the game first.
Cases like tonight's are actually not uncommon when it comes to James. For example, after Wade left the Heat to join the Bulls in his previous life, perhaps out of consideration for brotherhood, the Cavaliers led by James would always choose an appropriate player in games against the Bulls.
Let go and lose to the bull on purpose.
Of course, this premise is that James' Cavaliers had no rivals in the Eastern Conference at that time, so a little bit of human sophistication would not have any impact on the Cavaliers' dominance in the Eastern Conference.
The same is true for tonight's game. Even though the Heat won the first game, the probabilities of promotion for the two teams from the major authoritative media after the game did not change. It still started at 3:7.
The Heat is 3 and the Cavaliers are 7!
When Wang Zelin saw James's answer on the TV, he could see a trace of regret on James's face for losing the game. After all, this behavior was really sorry for his teammates and fans who supported him.
At the same time, he also noticed a trace of relaxation in James' words, as well as a kind of relief that seemed to be after repaying the favor.
Unsurprisingly, after this game, little Emperor James will re-enter that omnipotent state of terror.
In a favor situation like tonight, at most one hand is enough. In the remaining games, the person standing in front of him is no longer his good brother Wade, but a playoff opponent who is blocking him from winning the championship.
A stumbling block on the road.
