Chapter 568 Keeping the Blazers Out
The Blazers slowed down and chased by 4 points.
Aldridge, who was slowing down, was really good, and he turned around and shot very steadily.
Although Chandler is a top blue-collar, there is still nothing he can do about this technical center who doesn't like to hit the basket.
Lillard is also very sharp in positional battles. His three-pointer with a cover step is really similar to Curry, and he feels good today.
The Splash Brothers are fighting back...
Don't you want to slow down the pace?Then I will increase the speed!
Just after Aldridge wasted a long time and finally scored a two-pointer, Turkoglu quickly served the ball. Zhou Yang and Curry, one left and one right, had already reached near the center line.
Turkoglu looked at Zhou Yang, but threw the ball to Curry.
After halftime, Curry threw the ball before reaching the three-point line!
Swish!
Three point hit!
Then the Blazers attacked, and the Warriors suddenly double-teamed Aldridge.
Since Aldridge hit consecutively just now, he didn't want to pass the ball, but Tony Allen cut the ball directly.
After stealing the ball, Tony Allen made another long pass, which was passed directly to Zhou Yang on the left.
Zhou Yang faked a three-pointer and tricked Batum away, and then Zhou Yang went to the basket and dunked with the tomahawk!
boom!
The Warriors scored 13 points in less than 5 seconds for these two attacks.
Lillard was a little restless.
The Blazers are attacking, and he also wants to shoot a super long three-pointer.
But under Curry's interference, his three-pointer missed, the rebound was grabbed by Chandler, and he launched a fast break again.
Chandler was very smart. He saw that Zhou Yang and Curry were closely followed, so he passed the ball to Tony Allen.
Although Tony Allen is a defensive champion, his fast break is not weak.
Coupled with the fact that the opponent's defensive strength is with the Splash Brothers, Tony Allen ran all the way, and there was no one to defend him.
In the end, Matthews reacted and chased after him.
Tony Allen didn't make a strong move, so he dribbled the ball near the bottom corner.
Zhou Yang suddenly started, knocked Batum away, reached the restricted area, and pointed upward with his right hand...
Tony Allen has quick eyes and quick hands, throwing the ball directly towards the basket.
Anyone who is familiar with James knows that his alley-oop dunks are very explosive, and he has no requirements for the quality of the pass.
As long as you throw it out, I can buckle it in!
Zhou Yang is similar, you can just throw it casually, and I will adjust my pace and take-off height by myself.
boom!
Zhou Yang leaped high and smashed the ball into the basket. Batum could only watch him off, and couldn't stop him at all!
Under the acceleration of the Splash Brothers, the Blazers couldn't stand it anymore.
Aldridge was not a running and jumping type of inside line. After running back and forth a few times, he was panting heavily and couldn't run anymore.
No way, the Blazers coach Stotts had to call a timeout to let Aldridge take a break.
The point difference came to 17 points, and the Blazers' situation was very dangerous.
The Blazers fans in the Rose Garden Arena were full of despair.
They couldn't believe that this year's playoffs were so short.
After the timeout, Aldridge rested and replaced center Joel.
After Joel came up, let alone, he is only 2 meters tall, but he can run and jump, and he cooperates with Lillard very well.
The scores of the two sides began to stalemate.
After three quarters, the two teams scored 84:71, with the Warriors leading by 13 points.
There is little hope for the Blazers because the Warriors have never lost going into the fourth quarter with a lead.
Even facing the Thunder and the Clippers, they have not been reversed, let alone the Blazers.
In the fourth quarter, the Splash Brothers teamed up to expand the point difference to 25+, and the Blazers finally surrendered.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Blazers 107:91 in the away game, completely shutting the Blazers out of the playoffs.
Regardless of how the Rockets and Thunder fare, the Blazers are out of the playoffs.
After the game, although Lillard was very disappointed, he still came over to say hello to Zhou Yang graciously.
"Second brother Yang, you are so cruel, can't you let us go?"
Lillard is just joking. Among NBA players, the greatest respect is to go all out.
Zhou Yang said with a smile: "I dare not let you enter the playoffs, you will eliminate us!"
Lillard was amused by Zhou Yang, gave Zhou Yang a light hammer, and said with a smile: "You still can talk, oh, come on! I hope you can win three consecutive championships!"
Zhou Yang knew that Guidance Li was a sincere blessing.
"Thank you, we will work hard, don't worry, as long as you persevere, with the Trail Blazers lineup, you will continue to improve, and you will definitely be able to enter the playoffs next year!"
After hearing Zhou Yang's blessing, Lillard was also very moved, and hugged Zhou Yang tightly again...
In another game, the Thunder beat the Rockets without any suspense.
As a result, the Thunder is still second in the Western Conference, and the Rockets are ranked eighth in the Western Conference, finally catching the last bus in the playoffs.
The East and West regular season is over, the rankings are as follows:
The top eight in the Eastern Conference are the Miami Heat, New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers, Indiana Pacers, Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Bulls, Atlanta Hawks, and Boston Celtics.
The top eight in the Western Conference are the Golden State Warriors, Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Clippers, San Antonio Spurs, Denver Nuggets, Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Lakers, and Houston Rockets.
In the first round, the Warriors will face the Rockets.
In another parallel world, Harden left the Thunder and came to the Rockets because of the millions of dollars from the detonator, where he reached the peak of his career.
But in this parallel world, Harden stayed in the Thunder, and the Rockets did not have a very prominent star.
Although Jeremy Lin has the aura of Lin Madness and played good team basketball in the Rockets, the Rockets' overall talent is insufficient, and the media and fans are not optimistic about them.
……
Zhou Yang and Jeremy Lin had several exchanges in private.
Because he had traveled through time, he was no stranger to Lin Crazy, and Zhou Yang had contacted Lin Crazy before.
But Zhou Yang didn't disturb Shu Hao's lifeline, let him develop on his own, and finally went to the Rockets.
Without Harden, Lin Crazy has a lot of possessions. He uses his own speed and reasonable style of play to make the Rockets players twist into one rope and play with great resilience.
The Rockets came to Golden State, Jeremy Lin and Zhou Yang met in advance.
Zhou Yang likes Jeremy Lin very much, because before he crossed over, Jeremy Lin was old and injured, and he was about to retire.
Until his retirement, Jeremy Lin never had any gossip, and he was always polite, which Zhou Yang admired very much.
Zhou Yang invited Shuhao to his home and cooked two dishes for him.
"Brother Yang, I envy you so much, you are the pride of the Chinese!"
