Damien Lillard looked up at the score and sighed.
Just a second ago, the electronic buzzer, which represented the end of the game, penetrated the whole stadium.
121-100, Portland Trail Blazers in the road defeat!
Lillard remembers that at this time last year, they lost only 6 points against the Grizzlies.
And the next game, he immediately with a beautiful shot, tit for tat, the total score to 1-1 draw.
This year, however, the situation is quite different.
In the first inning, he was crushed.
"At the end of the game, the Grizzlies won the game with a huge advantage of 21 points, which is the biggest point difference since the start of the playoffs this season! In fact, if it wasn''t for the garbage time, the Grizzlies had little power, and the pioneers would not have been able to close the gap to 21 points
Hubie brin is right, 21 points, which is the result of the Trail Blazers effectively close to the gap.
Most of the time in the fourth quarter, the difference between the two sides is actually more than 30.
Portland''s backcourt double gun data is not bad, mccullam 30 points, three-point line efficient 6-4.
Lillard had 34 points and a total shooting rate of 46.2%.
The Blazers, however, have no third double scoring player. Grizzlies defense, is not the Blazers other players can adapt to.
On the grizzly side, in addition to link and Conley''s 32 points and 29 points, there are three people who also scored in double digits.
Five of the team scored double, the Blazers defense in front of the Grizzlies as if the general fragile paper.
Lillard shook his head and saw link coming towards him.
"I''m sorry Damien, but I told you I don''t want to fight you six more times this year." Link opened his arms, hugged Lillard, and patted him on the back for comfort.
"You do what you say, link. Damn it, what the hell happened to me. Three consecutive seasons have to meet you in the playoffs, two consecutive years in the first round of the playoffs Lillard shook his head helplessly.
"Hahaha, it''s not my fault, Damien. Maybe, this is the meeting of our destiny. Ha ha ha
"Come on, enjoy your victory, link. You must go to the end of this year. "
After Lillard said that, he turned away and went straight to the players'' tunnel.
Link looks at Lillard and feels a little sorry.
Lillard was really unlucky enough to die at his own hands for three years in a row.
But link believes Lillard won''t be depressed. The guy is not so vulnerable.
The reporters next to link felt a little strange. Generally speaking, the leading stars of both sides would hug and talk for such a long time, which was only done at the end of the series.
But the series just played the first game, link and Lillard how to embrace it?
For journalists, it was really just the end of the first game of the series.
However, both link and Lillard know that the whole series of games is over in fact...
we are all professional players and can deeply understand the gap.
Sometimes, some gaps may be filled in.
But sometimes, too big a gap can not be crossed.
The pioneers and Grizzlies belong to the latter.
This game made this year''s playoffs the first garbage time, of course, also let the fans lose interest in this series of Grizzlies.
Grizzlies are different from most other teams. If they abuse each other once, they are doomed to do it the second time.
Because they won by a big score, it wasn''t luck.
In the next few games, the Blazers could not change anything.
At the press conference after the game, Lillard, as the team leader, naturally would not say such words as "we have lost".
He was still strong in front of reporters: "it''s just the first game. We''ve learned a lot and we still have a chance. So, we''re going to keep going. "
But just now, when he told link in private that "you must go to the end", link knew.
This tough Lord of rose has actually surrendered.
It''s just the responsibility of being the star that makes him have to fight this impossible war.
Why does link like Lillard so much that he is invited to training camp every year?
Maybe that''s why.
The day after the game, the news that Grizzlies abused the Blazers shocked everyone.
Since the first round, only the Grizzlies can win with such ease.
Even the warriors and Spurs are in trouble to varying degrees.
Grizzly bear this obviously higher than other people''s strength, let people shudder.We have nothing to say about the strength of Grizzlies. At this time, if anyone provokes Grizzlies again, it is really asking for nothing.
But what Bill Simmons said was attacked by many people.
Especially the Houston media, they almost all of the Simmons family to the greetings.
"Grizzlies won''t have trouble in the first two rounds? Bill Simmons, an idiot, may have forgotten that the Houston Rockets are the most anxious team to fight the Grizzlies in the regular season
"Bill Simmons is really disrespectful of the Rockets, I believe the Rockets players will give Simmons a good look."
"Keep your eyes open. Who can make it to the Western Conference finals this year, but I don''t know."
Bill Simmons''s news in the game yesterday obviously annoyed a lot of people.
Fans and the media in Houston believe they can easily kill the Clippers in the first round. Then in the division semi-final, also has the ability to pull the wrist with Grizzlies!
After all, harden has had the best performance of his career this season.
From any angle, the Rockets'' 16-17 season was a success.
In the regular season, the Rockets scored 55-27, which is second only to Grizzlies, warriors and Spurs in the league.
The Cavaliers, led by James, can''t compare with the Rockets in the regular season.
And it''s worth mentioning that the rocket wasn''t favored at the beginning because of the loss of Howard in the summer of 2016.
Before the start of the 16-17 season, ESPN and other major media predicted that their ranking was No. 8 in the west end, but they could barely make it into the playoffs!
The main lineup led by Haden and Capella was ridiculed as "death 5 leaks" before the start of the season.
As a result, under the leadership of d''antony and harden, the rockets hit everyone in the face.
Therefore, the Rocket fans also believe that this team will burst out in the playoffs more strength, create more incredible miracle!
Although the Rockets won the Clippers for the first time, relying on Gordon''s last-minute killing, they did not show the strength to crush the Clippers.
But even so, the Houston media have been so inflated that they have even begun to challenge the Grizzlies!
To be exact, it was a fight with Bill Simmons. But in fact, we all know what the Houston media is mainly aimed at.
They refuted bill Simmons, just to express a view that the Rockets will not be easily defeated by the Grizzlies, and even may succeed in the following crimes!
Simmons saw himself besieged by the Houston media, but not timid.
When he was in the evening, when the rockets and the Clippers had their second big fight, Bill Simmons updated his social media updates again.
"Why do Houston people think rockets can make trouble for Grizzlies? Let''s review the Rockets'' performance against the Grizzlies in the regular season
"In the regular season, the two sides played four times, and the Rockets won 0 Games. Link this season''s 50 + 15 + 15 and three quarters 53 points, are in the rocket head to get. The only thing the Houston people are proud of is that they''ve played the Grizzlies in the first three times, losing four points at the most. Br >
, but they even lost the regular game with Houston? Where is the confidence? "
Simmons''s speech can be described as a thump, so that the Houston media instantly dumb.
But that night, the Rockets won the Clippers again, turning the series total score to 2-0.
This undoubtedly gives Houston media and fans enough confidence again!
In an interview with reporters after the game, Hadden also asked him how he viewed Simmons''s remarks.
Harden flashed his trademark white eyes into the camera and said, "let''s see."
Simmons looked at harden on the TV and shook his head in silence.
Another one who is not afraid of death is coming to receive education.
