On May 7, 2014, the second round of the playoffs officially started.
The first game to start is the game between the Warriors and Trail Blazers.
The Warriors eliminated the Clippers, who thought they were very strong, 4:0 in the first round. The Trail Blazers fought the Rockets for six games, and finally defeated the Rockets at home, eliminating their opponents with a score of 4:2 and advancing to the semifinals.
It can be said that the Trail Blazers are almost the same as the Clippers. They are the rare teams that are not convinced by the Warriors!
Why?
Because their Lord will not be convinced!
who?
Lillard!
Why is Curry so awesome? Isn’t it just that he can shoot three-pointers accurately?
Me too!
Aren’t you just good at super long three-pointers?
I can too!
I can dunk, can you?
My explosive power is better than yours, and my speed is faster than yours. What's so great about you?
Besides, I still have a thigh to hug - Aldridge!
what do you have?
Yao Ming is gone, so are Kirilenko and Lowry. Let’s see what else you can do!
Lillard is very unconvinced with Curry, including his fans.
The most common thing on major forums is that Lillard's fans use his few killer shots to prove Lillard's big heart.
But to be fair, the difference between Lillard and Curry is not that big!
Of course, Curry doesn't have many great things about Billard, other than being accurate on three-pointers and reliable at the basket.
To put it bluntly, Curry can put the ball into the basket with a higher shooting percentage, it's that simple!
But what you need to know is that how to put the basketball into the basket is the essence of the sport of basketball!
So Curry is not a little bit better than Billard!
Curry has long been the league's giant and iconic figure, but what about Lillard?
Lillard is the kind of star that a lot of people praise when he plays well, but no one cares about him when he doesn't play well.
Curry, on the other hand, always has a bunch of fanatical fans and a bunch of brainless fans!
Why?
Or because Curry is so awesome!
To put it bluntly, Lillard’s identity is not enough!
No one hates you, it’s because you don’t deserve to have so many hate fans!
Even among those fans who praise you, many use you as a weapon!
When I saw Lillard hit a super long three-pointer, when I saw Lillard kill his opponent, I immediately pulled him out to compare with Curry to prove that Curry is not that great, that's it.
That's all!
Of course, Lillard himself doesn't think so. He never thinks that he is worse than Curry!
Therefore, this series has attracted a lot of attention, and many neutral fans have also watched it.
Without him, I just want to see what kind of quality Lillard is and how big the gap is between Curry and Lillard!
Of course Deng Fang knew this, so he said two days before the first game: In front of Curry, Lillard is nothing!
Do you think your three-point shot is good?
Do you think your super long three-point shot is pretty good?
That’s what you thought!
In fact, there is a huge gap between Curry and Lillard, an unbridgeable gap!
In this round of the series, I want to show you how big the gap between the two is!
I will let Curry defend Lillard alone. Do the Trail Blazers dare?
We don’t use pick-and-rolls, we just play one-on-one, okay?
Let’s see who is the best!
Deng Fang's remarks once again aroused the interest of spectators. The series between the Warriors and Trail Blazers was instantly sold out, and the prices on the black market were soaring!
At 8 p.m. on May 7, the first game between the Warriors and Trail Blazers officially started.
The Blazers' starting lineup remains unchanged: Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Aldridge, and Lopez Jr.
The game was held at the Oracle Arena. The Warriors entered the state right from the start and gave the Trail Blazers a powerful start.
Curry dribbled the ball past half-court, raised his hand and hit a three-pointer!
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the net!
What? Not convinced?
did you see!
I'll throw it away first as a courtesy, you can do whatever you want!
Curry's three-pointer immediately ignited the enthusiasm of Oracle Arena!
As a Warriors fan, what do you most want to see?
Curry's three-pointer!
Curry's super long three-pointer!
Curry made a domineering three-pointer in the face of an unconvinced opponent!
Oracle Arena erupted instantly!
Lillard's face was livid, and he turned around and shot a three-pointer, but the basketball hit the backboard and bounced out.
Bogut picked up the rebound and threw the ball directly to the frontcourt. Curry was unguarded in front of him. After receiving the ball, he took a step forward and then hit a dunk!
Okay, just a quick buckle...
Although it was a barely dunk, Oracle Arena was even more excited!
What's so cool about dunks? Are there still too few guys in the NBA who are flying high and escaping from the ground?
Who dunks as funny and as inspiring as Curry?!
No!
Absolutely not!
Seeing Curry dunk, all the Warriors teammates ran up and bumped shoulders with Curry to celebrate!
The Blazers head coach looked livid and immediately called a timeout.
After the timeout, Lillard became much more cautious in his actions and no longer fought with Curry.
There was no other way, so the head coach gave Lillard a hard lesson.
At this time, Lillard's position in the team was not yet so stable, and he could not be called the absolute boss.
What's more, what the head coach said was correct, and the facts have proved it.
Curry's season shooting percentage is indeed much higher than his own, and the Warriors' offensive rhythm is indeed quite fast!
Fighting against the Warriors is tantamount to suicide!
Nothing is more convincing than winning!
Let’s not compete with Curry and put winning first.
Regardless of whether Lillard gave in or wanted to use a delaying strategy to avoid the limelight, in short, he became more careful with his shots, and the Blazers began to give the ball to the inside more often.
The reason why the Blazers did this was because they had someone to rely on inside - Aldridge.
Aldridge is a big man who mainly plays power forward, but his shooting is very accurate, and his jump shot after the back is especially reliable.
What are the Warriors playing? One senior and four juniors!
What is the weakest point among the four children?
Power Forward!
Then why don’t I keep an eye on you and pound you hard?!
The person guarding Aldridge is Hayward, who is much different from Aldridge in terms of height and weight.
But the Warriors are not afraid. As long as Aldridge gets the ball, the Warriors will double attack!
Aldridge's passing is poor?
No, Aldridge's passing is okay. Although it is not top-notch, it is reasonable.
Deng Fang's strategy is obvious, which is to make every effort to fight quickly!
Aren't you the twin towers on the field? Then I will attack from a flank!
Force you to pass the ball and throw three-pointers!
Matthews' three-pointer is pretty good, Batum is pretty reliable, and Lillard is even better, but I'm not afraid!
Because looking back, you can’t guard against me!
Hayward can't defend Aldridge alone, but it's impossible for Aldridge to defend Hayward!
As long as you come out, I will attack you!
If you don’t come out, I will vote for you!
Even if they don't give the ball to Hayward for a one-on-one challenge, it will be difficult for the Trail Blazers to prevent the Splash Brothers' off-ball movement with the Twin Towers on the court!
In a word, it is impossible for Aldridge to play singles in the paint!
It’s impossible to slow down the pace!
I want to see if Batum's three-pointer is more accurate, or Hayward's three-pointer is more reliable!
Is it Lillard’s accurate three-pointer or Curry’s awesome three-pointer!
