Chapter 1147 The Pelicans are going to lose (April/April)
Lillard's firepower has not diminished in this quarter, scoring 11 points and 3 assists in a single quarter. At the end of the three quarters, his personal score has reached 41 points!
His previous playoff personal scoring record was 40 points he scored last year. He only finished these three quarters and has already set a new record for individual playoff single-game scoring!
If he continues to play according to this trend, he has a good chance to win 50+ and break the playoff score record in the history of the Trail Blazers!
Under his leadership, the Trail Blazers continued to stalemate with the Pelicans in this quarter.
At the end of the third quarter, the score on the field was 92 to 90, with the Pelicans leading the way.
The Trail Blazers are really going to fight the Pelicans to the end tonight.
"Regardless of the outcome, Lillard and the Trail Blazers' performance is respectable."
While resting in three or four minutes, O'Neal admitted to slapping himself in the face.
What he said was also recognized by Barkley.
The Pelicans' defense is the strongest in the league, and it's even OK to say that there is no such thing.
The Trail Blazers scored 90 points in three quarters under this defensive intensity. In addition to luck, the players' enthusiasm and hard work cannot be ignored.
Their fights tonight are really respectable enough.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the two teams were still the main players leading the substitutes.
In the second quarter, Collins performed well as the surprise, and Stevens targeted the defense at this point.
Collins basically didn't have a cell phone.
But no one expected that Anthony, who had not scored much before, broke out in this period.
He first seized the opportunity from the outside and made a three-pointer, then cut the middle distance.
After a single layup missed, he made a tip-in with his big butt, which also caused Siakam's thug to be 2+1.
His successive dreams of returning to the peak also ignited the Moda Center again.
They traded Anthony to ask him to score!
When the extra penalty hits, he personally scored an 8-0 attack wave, helping the Trail Blazers lead the Pelicans 6 points in turn!
Lillard, Collins, Anthony, and the Trail Blazers did not have the help of the referee, but under the leadership of Lillard, they played a game where everyone was soldier!
This may be the charm of Lillard!
Moreover, the Pelicans' feel has also experienced some ups and downs, and the Trail Blazers continue to work hard.
After playing for about five minutes in this quarter, the score on the field became 104 to 94, and the Trail Blazers led!
Stevens reached out and called for a pause.
If you continue to play at this pace, the Pelicans' first defeat in the playoffs may really be in Portland.
When the Trail Blazers came off, the players were greeted with extremely warm cheers on the scene.
These people on the field are their city heroes tonight!
New York headquarters.
Xiao Hua has never dared to watch football on site for personal safety reasons.
Sitting in the office right now, watching the Trail Blazers lead the Pelicans by 10 points, his mood is extremely complicated.
He had previously said to Sauk angrily that without the help of the referee, the Trail Blazers took the lead and played against the Pelicans.
As a result, he made a mistake again.
Such a mistake made him very depressed, but it was also mixed with a hint of joy.
No matter what kind of process, as long as the pioneers can win, it is a good thing.
After the timeout, Stevens replaced all the main players on the court.
"Defense! Defense!"
The fans at the scene were very imposing and cheered for the home team.
"Swish!"
However, their cheers did not work. Tang Tian shook McClum away from the flower-width steps and made a three-pointer from the outside.
Tang Tian’s key goal will never disappoint!
And back to the defensive end, the Pelicans significantly strengthened their defensive intensity.
Lillard was locked by Tang Tianluo, and Butler also restricted Anthony from receiving the ball.
Nurkic's turn-around layup was disturbed by Davis' assisted defense.
The Trail Blazers' offense failed!
Looking back, Tang Tian was still the one who forced himself to kill the basket, turned around and tilted back into the double team.
Moreover, Butler successfully cut off Nurkic's pass in the next round and defended himself into a wave of attacks on the Trail Blazers!
The Pelicans are entering their ultimate playing style, Tang Tian plays, and the other four individual defense modes!
This pattern has no solution!
In just over three minutes, the Pelicans made a 10-0 attack wave, directly smoothing out the score difference!
With 2 minutes left in the game, the two teams tied at 110!
At this time, not only the fans on the scene, but all the fans' hearts were beating in their throats.
This situation was something no one expected before the game.
But this situation makes people nervous and excited!
The Pelicans are really likely to lose, and the Trail Blazers really have a chance to win!
These two minutes are of great significance!
"Come on! Trail Blazers!"
The cheers at the scene sounded again, with a hint of tremolo mixed in the sound, which was both nervous and excited.
Lillard is working hard to find out the ball opportunity.
He scored 41 points in the third quarter, but he has not yet opened the fourth quarter.
It’s not that he felt it, but that Tang Tianfang basically had no chance of making a phone call.
Tang Tian is really a bit crazy when he is serious about his defense now.
However, this time Amino's pick-and-roll was given in place, and he successfully blocked an opportunity.
Nurkic's pass was given, and he flew onto the layup, avoided Davis' block in the air, and made a low layup when he fell!
112 to 110!
He scored his 43rd point in this game! He also helped the Trail Blazers get a key 2-point lead!
The cheers at the scene were already blown up.
Although this was only Lillard's first goal in this quarter, and it was just a 2-pointer, the victory was key!
The key ball is priceless!
The Pelicans' offense is still in the hands of Tang Tian.
He shook McClum so hard that he could not hold him back and fell down.
A quick stop to pull three points.
"Swish!"
A crisp sound.
When the ball entered, the fans at the scene felt a sensation of pressure on their chests.
Just as they were paying attention to whether Lillard could score 50 points, Tang Tian's goal had already increased his personal score to 50 points!
Although he is still far from 66 points in a single game in the playoffs, he broke his single game score record this season again!
The more motivated the game, the more prominent Tang Tian’s scoring ability will be!
113 to 112.
With more than one minute left in the game, the Pelicans took the lead!
Stotts did not call a timeout, he gave Lillard the right to dominate the ball on the court.
Lillard transported to the frontcourt and took a look at Tang Tian, then threw it away two steps away from the three-point line.
Three points in the longest!
This choice is surprising, but Tang Tian still interferes.
"Bang!"
The ball hit the front of the basket.
But luck stood on the side of the Trail Blazers, Lillard's extremely long three-pointer climbed in!
115 to 113!
The Trail Blazers overtake the score again!
There are only less than 50 seconds left!
The fans at the scene were so angry that they didn't dare to breathe.
When they wanted to breathe, Tang Tian made a fake shot and made a real attack, and broke into the penalty area and passed the ball behind Davis.
Davis plays the board and sends the ball into the basket.
115 square meters!
Chapter completed!
