Although the Spurs fans complained that the team they supported lost their first home game, they still felt that it was acceptable. After all, the Trail Blazers had much more rest time before the start of the Western Conference Finals, and the Spurs were a team dominated by veterans. For the team, it is normal to lose the first game and think about it carefully.
But in the fourth quarter of the second game, the Spurs fans couldn't sit still. They began to clamor. Although they didn't boo the Spurs players on the field, the banners they raised made people blush, and the lines were very It is obvious to see the meaning of hating iron but not steel.
The instant score on the big screen was clear, with the Blazers leading 89-71 by 18 points with five minutes left in the game. It is not impossible to chase 5 points in 5 minutes, but it is quite difficult, and it requires someone in the formation to burst into a small universe suddenly.But judging from the previous games, this is a small probability thing.
Mr. Popovich has always admired team basketball. Even if there is a historical power forward like Duncan in the team, he rarely needs the ace to score [-] or [-] points to lead the team to victory.If possible, he would rather have ten members of the team score in double figures than see someone in the team score forty or fifty points in a game.
And it's useless even if he let go of the restrictions now, Parker just recovered from injury, only played one game, and there is not much time to rest; Ginobili is entangled by Matthews, and he is gorgeous but the risk is high Duncan is a good choice, but now Oden has done a good job of defending him, and Oden's post-up singles at the basket is still outside his acceptable range for the time being. .
Although Leonard was still working hard on the defensive end, he couldn't hold back Ye Feng's transformation into a pure organizer in this game, directly grabbing Felton's job.The point is that Leonard still has to put all his energy on Ye Feng. Everyone in the league knows how scary this young Asian player is. As long as you dare to let him open, you won't get forty or fifty in a game I'm sorry for his shooting skills.
In fact, Ye Feng originally wanted to continue to compete with Leonard, but seeing that his teammates felt good, he deliberately suppressed his desire to score, and instead helped his teammates play the ball, creating better opportunities for them. mobile phone opportunities.Judging from his statistics, although he didn't score a lot, only 18 points, and all of them were three-pointers, he sent a game-high 22 assists, which completely revitalized the Blazers' offensive system.
In the end, the Spurs failed to complete the comeback in the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter. They lost the second game 83 to 101.The most unacceptable thing for Spurs fans is that this game is very different from the first game. The biggest difference is that the Spurs were behind from the beginning to the end. He only sent out 48 assists, just more than half of Ye Feng alone.
This is a completely atypical Spurs. You must know that they averaged 27.1 assists per game in the regular season. assists, 17.2 assists in this game is simply ridiculous.
For a team like the Spurs that is keen on team basketball, the reduction in the number of assists means that each offensive round of the team is filled with a lot of singles with the ball, or the mentality has collapsed and only thinks about relying on their own personal ability to solve the problem , or the Blazers' defense is in place and they don't give them a chance to pass the ball, so they can only hold the ball by themselves.As long as the fans who watched the game live, they should not think that the second is the truth.
The Blazers' defense is honestly based on Ye Feng and Matthews, especially when McMillan increasingly puts Oden on the court with other starters.Oden's physical condition is very good, but compared with Camby, his experience is much weaker. He often relies on his own instincts to defend. The average of 4.2 personal fouls per game shows a lot of problems. There is still a long way to go to become a qualified insider gate.
After returning to the Trail Blazers home court, the Spurs seemed to wake up. They played very well in the first three quarters of the third game. Duncan stepped forward and became the team's scoring leader. He scored 22 points and 13 rebounds in three quarters. The double-double, but also sent 2 blocks.And at the end of the third quarter, the Spurs led 73 to 60 by 13 points, which is extremely rare in this year's Western Conference Finals, and it can be said that almost no such situation happened.
Just when everyone thought that the Spurs would easily win the game, the situation on the field changed suddenly, and Ye Feng directly took over the team's offense.The Blazers only scored 60 points in the first three quarters largely because their offensive efficiency was too low. At this time, Ye Feng, as the leader and scoring leader of the team, had to stand up and charge.
When Ye Feng completely turned on the scoring mode, it was difficult for Leonard to stop him. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Ye Feng made all 4 shots from outside the three-point line, half of which were against Leonard. The defense forced a shot.Although Leonard's big hands covered his face, the basketball flew into the hoop obediently as if it had been installed on autopilot.It's not that Ye Feng didn't think about causing a three-point foul on his opponent, but out of respect for his opponent, he hoped to defeat Leonard in a more open and honest way.
Although the Spurs players are also constantly scoring, but under the instruction of McMillan, the Blazers completely locked the outside line. If you want to score, you can go inside, and there is no guarantee that you can shoot smoothly.Facing the seniors in the Spurs team, the Blazers did not intend to carry forward the style of respecting and loving the elderly. Tactical fouls are common. Anyway, they do not allow you to score easily. This is also a great blow to the morale of the Spurs.
Throughout the fourth quarter, Ye Feng basically did not rest. He scored 22 points in a single quarter, helping the Blazers to beat the Spurs 45-27 in the fourth quarter, and won the whole game in a narrow and narrow way.In this game, Ye Feng once again let everyone see his versatility. The large triple-double of 45 points, 15 rebounds and 11 assists proved his strength, while Leonard, who was in charge of facing him, only had 11 assists. Points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, the difference is clear at a glance.
Being behind 0 to 3 is a complete nightmare for the Spurs. You must know that they are the No. [-] in the West. Facing the Trail Blazers who are No. [-] in the West, they have no power to fight back. Who would have imagined this before the Western Conference Finals? ?Now they are in a desperate situation, and if they lose one more game, the season will be over.
