On April 22nd, Yan Biao ushered in the fourth contest with the Trail Blazers at home. Before this game, the series had already made a huge 3-0 lead. They rely on talent and defense to push the Trail Blazers to the stage of the playoffs. The Blazers have lost their way. Retreat. What kind of strength and level will the Portland Trail Blazers have in the end, and how will they deal with it become the two highlights of this game?
In the end, he once again defeated the Trail Blazers 131-123 at home and became the first team to reach the second round of the playoffs. Davis scored 47 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks in the game. Holledi scored 41 points and 8 assists. Rondo scored 7 points, 7 rebounds and 16 assists. The terrible play of the Big Three also won the game for the team. Foundation. In contrast, the Blazers side, McCullen scored 38 points, Aminu scored 27 points and 6 rebounds, Lillard scored 19 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.
This round of the series ended, and eventually swept the Trail Blazers 4-0, making it hard for many fans to believe. The regular season Trail Blazers ranked third in the West with 49 wins and 33 losses. As the West is second only to Yongyong's team, their strength is very much recognized by everyone. Many fans also regard them as the biggest opponents of the Western Conference. This upset outcome has left many fans eye-opener, many fans have put forward what the Blazers in the end?
Of course, the Blazers bear the brunt of the most important responsibility is their core player Lillard, as the league's first-line star, Lillard averaged 26.8 points, 6.8 assists and 4.4 rebounds this season, the performance can be said It was excellent, but Lillard seemed to be a man on the stage of the playoffs. He averaged 18.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists in the four games, which was a huge drop compared to the regular season. His shooting percentage is only 35.2%, his three-point shooting is only 30% and he has 4 turnovers per game. This kind of performance is really difficult to lead the team to win.
As the first team to be eliminated, Lillard was very sad after the game. In the interview, he said: “This is not the same as we expected. Especially at home, we did not play our best basketball performance. It was like during the previous 13-game winning streak. After we came away, our opponents might have played their best basketball performance. They used something we hadn't seen before, which worked for them."
From this remark, it can be seen that Lillard's sadness after losing the series, can also see that he is upset about himself and the team's poor performance, but the fact is that they have lost. However, although this season has ended, but still there will be next season, I hope Lillard and his teammates can work hard offseason training, continue to fight for their goals next season.
