Nba: The Opening Sign To The Finals Tiebreaker

Chapter 252 Victory over the Blazers

The first half is over.

56:72

The Clippers continued to maintain their lead.

"After the contest in the first half, it can be seen that there is still a big gap in strength between the two sides."

"The Clippers play very easily on the offensive end, and Zhou Yuan's ability to consistently score in the penalty area has always been a problem that the Blazers cannot solve.

"I hope that after the adjustment at halftime, the Blazers can improve in the second half of the game."

Meanwhile, the United States, Houston.

"The Clippers are outrageously strong....."

Ryan Anderson said solemnly.

Rockets team members are gathering to watch the game.

When they saw the Clippers' performance in the first half, they were all shocked.

Especially the "July 17" inside players like Anderson and Capela, they can feel the oppression emanating from Zhou Yuan through the screen.

Although these two insiders of the Blazers are not at the top level of the league, their combined strength is definitely not weak.

Even an all-star inside player will be restricted under the joint defense of the two of them.

But instead of being restrained, Zhou Yuan crushed and beat the two of them. How could such terrifying strength make people not feel afraid?

"If we beat the Utah Jazz in the first round of the playoffs, then there is a high probability that we will meet them in the next round. How will we deal with this monster then?"

Capela's expression is more dignified than Anderson's, because once they meet, he will form a direct confrontation with Zhou Yuan.

This question stumped everyone at once. Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni pondered for a long time, but he didn't think of a countermeasure.

"There is no need to worry too much. They are good at attacking inside, while we are good at attacking outside."

"In my opinion, as long as we play our own characteristics, it is not that we have no chance of winning."

Team leader James Harden spoke suddenly.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone suddenly felt that it made sense, and what Harden said was correct. As long as they played the outside offense well, the Clippers would also be in trouble.

"What James said is very good, but now we should consider how to win the Utah Jazz.

D'Antoni reminded that this is the most important thing for them at this stage.

In addition to the Rockets, the players of the Jazz are also paying attention to this game, because if they win the Rockets, they will probably face the Clippers in the next game.

Gordon Hayward, Rudy Bell and others watched the first half of the game and also felt a lot of pressure.

Back to the match scene, the 15-minute intermission ended and the second half began.

Fans expected the Blazers to fight back, but unfortunately, this scene did not happen.

After the start of the third quarter, the Clippers still had the upper hand.

The Blazers' double guns in the backcourt have occasional flashes of inspiration, but they still seem very weak.

After three quarters, the Clippers extended their lead to 20+, and the game almost lost suspense.

With less than three points in the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers chose to retreat and replace all the main players.

"Beep!"

The final whistle blows and the game ends.

96:118

At home, the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Portland Trail Blazers by 22 points and got off to a good start in the playoffs this season!

The big score between the two sides came to 1:0, and the Clippers took the initiative in the series.

In the whole game, Zhou Yuan scored 61 points, 28 rebounds and 1 block in less than three quarters.

This performance is not inferior to the regular season!

Zhou Yuan, who returned strongly this season, declared his dominance in the playoffs in this way.

In addition to him, Bu Rake Griffin scored 22 points and 8 rebounds, and Chris Paul also had an outstanding performance of 17 points and 16 assists.

For the Blazers, Damian Lillard scored 29 points and 7 assists, making him the best player for the Blazers.

C Wheat Colum scored 21 points and 4 assists.

The two guns in the backcourt played their normal level, but the team lost 22 points, and all of these points were lost at the basket. The difference in strength between the two teams inside is really too big.

"The game is over. The process did not go as the fans expected. The Blazers were suppressed all over the court."

"The only consolation is that the performance of the two guns in the backcourt is not bad, but if they want to win this round of the series, they need more players to stand up and share."

"Zhou Yuan's terrible dominance in the penalty area completely dominated the game.0"

"I hope that in the next game, the Blazers can come up with something, at least so that the series will not look so boring."

The on-site commentary was not satisfied with tonight's game. The Clippers seemed to win too easily, so they didn't create a sense of tension in the playoffs.

The moment the final whistle blew, players on the Clippers bench rushed onto the court to celebrate.

On the Trail Blazers side, Plumlee and Nurkic got up and walked towards the locker room. They were brothers and sisters in this game. They were bullied by Zhou Yuan in turn, and they were in an extremely bad mood.

But when they came to the entrance of the player channel, they were stopped by the reporters on the scene.

"You two, can you tell me how you feel about Zhou Yuan tonight?"

The reporter asked a very sharp question. This is not an interview, but just pouring salt on the wounds of the two...

"Have you ever been spanked? If not, I don't mind spanking you."

"Then you'll understand how we feel right now."

Nurkic's face was extremely gloomy, and after saying this, he left here directly.

The reporter was quite frightened by him. If Nurkic really beat him up, he would probably lie down and go out.

Later, he conducted an interview with Zhou Yuan.

"Zhou Yuan, congratulations on winning the first game of the playoffs."

"This is the first time in three years that you stand on the 0.3 stage of the playoffs again. Do you have anything to say now?"

Zhou Yuan responded indifferently: "For me, this is a brand new beginning."

"I used to dominate for three years in a row, that feeling was amazing, and now I want to find the original feeling!"

The meaning of this sentence is obvious, Zhou Yuan wants to repeat the previous honor.

"So what do you want to say about today's game? Or how do you comment on the opponent's performance tonight?"

The reporter continued to ask.

"I'm having a hard time with your question."

Zhou Yuan scratched his head and continued: "I didn't feel any difference between this game and the regular season at all, maybe it's because they weren't ready yet.

"Overall, I didn't feel any pressure during the game."

"My next duel, they can give me enough pressure, so that the game will be interesting."
