I am Really an Insider - Vol 4 Chapter 738
Wayne stood at the door of Paul Allen’s room with a heavy expression.
At this time, Paul’s sister Judy also walked out of the room, glanced at Wayne, and forced a smile: “You see, he is an optimistic person.”
“Well, also a brave man.” Wayne shrugged.
A day ago, Paul Allen posted a post on his social media, publicizing his illness over the years.
Wayne finds it strange, because Allen’s condition has not been disclosed to the public over the years, only the people around him know.
After seeing this dynamic, Wayne rushed to Allen’s house today. Sure enough, Wayne found that he was critically ill, and the entire room was full of medical instruments and doctors.
The purpose of his post is to make everyone mentally prepared.
Allen was surprised when he saw Wayne coming.
After chatting with Judy, I learned that Alan’s condition suddenly deteriorated half a month ago and he has been in critical condition.
Just in order not to delay the team’s preparations, Allen did not inform anyone of the team that he was critically ill.
After chatting with Paul for a while, Wayne walked out of the room without interrupting him to rest.
This year is 2016, and it will be May at the end of April.
In the original history, Allen’s death occurred in 2018.
Two full years in advance.
It’s not clear about cancer.
Wayne feels a bit complicated, and he really can’t do anything about this kind of thing.
Seeing Wayne’s depression, Judy patted Wayne on the back.
“He doesn’t want you to be affected, so cheer. He didn’t miss every game of yours. Every game day, he would put on the Blazers cap and smile like a child.
Although he can’t go to the scene, but…
Fulfill his last wish, Wei. ”
Wayne nodded, not knowing what to say.
This is the only thing he can do now.
Just now, just as Wayne left Paul and was about to walk out of the room, Allen also said to Wayne in a weak voice: “Champion.”
Champion, this may be their last cooperation.
After returning from Allen’s home, Wayne regained his mood and continued to prepare for the Western Conference semifinals.
For the remaining four teams in the West, everyone has a reason to win.
San Antonio’s double virtue needs a champion to start a new era for the Spurs. Last season, the Western Conference champion Warriors are eager to return to the finals to avenge Lao Zhan.
The Thunder finally played for a full season, ambitious.
As for the Trailblazer, if Wayne is unsuccessful, he will become the laughing stock of the world and personally lower his historical status by one level.
This may be the most intense playoff game that Wayne has encountered since 2011.
On April 30th, in the Rose Garden, Wayne and Durant finally met again.
As soon as Durant stepped into the arena, he raised his head and cursed: “Fuck, you are really nothing!”
In the stands, a lot of fans raised signs like 22-11.
This is the score of Durant and Wayne in this year’s All-Star heads-up.
Although Xiaoshuai and the cheerleaders danced very happily afterwards, they took the punishment out of the feeling of reward, and even raised the little Lanhua finger when they jumped to the point of forgetfulness.
But the game was really frustrated.
This brand is not very harmful, but very humiliating.
Obviously, he came here with ambition, but he was hit as soon as he came in.
Durant is really convinced, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked!
Look at the fans that Wayne brought out. What do they look like?
Wayne looked at the signs raised by the fans, then smiled, and then waved his hand: Close!
After the game starts later, I will ask you to raise it again.
Although Wayne feels very good about the mentality of the coach before the game, Wayne is very clear that this season’s Adu will not be blocked by this little thing.
Wayne didn’t know how many times he had watched the 16-year Western Conference Finals in the original history, because it was so **** wonderful.
Both sides have a neat lineup, and there are no surprises. They have just played hard and played seven games in a down-to-earth manner.
To be honest, if it were not for the exaggerated 11 three-pointers of G6 Bliss Soup, the Thunder might have made it to the finals.
When the Thunder enters the finals, Adu may not leave.
Sure enough, at the beginning of today’s game, the Thunder gave the Blazers a great sense of oppression.
Less than two rounds after the fight, Shao Turtle and Wayne tangled on the floor.
“Wayne caught the ball, Westbrook jumped directly on it, and the two fiercely scrambled on the floor. The referee gave a scrimmage for the ball!”
The moment Westbrook heard the whistle, he lay on Wayne and waved his arms abruptly, spitting on Wayne’s face.
Wayne is really convinced, you have to celebrate that I don’t object, but you must at least start from me first!
Gan!
Soon, Tony and Butler stepped up and reached out to pull Wayne up.
The first thing Wayne got up was to shout to the referee: “I just called a timeout, why are you scrimming the ball!”
“I didn’t hear it, Wei.”
“I didn’t listen…” Wayne tried to curb his urge to hit someone. In such a critical match, you told Lao Tzu that you didn’t hear it.
But it is true that today because the game was too intense, the cheers on the scene and the voices of the players on the court communicating with each other were very loud.
This game is just like the playoffs!
Wayne and Turtle Brook are standing at the free throw line, ready to scrimmage the ball.
But the ball hadn’t started to fight, and the referee blew the whistle again.
“What do you want? Believe it or not, I will cut you off!”
“Fuck, cut me? Don’t you know that my Big Mackey is the most ruthless person in Portland?”
Ibaka and McGee sprayed trash talk face to face. It turned out that Wayne and Turtle were about to fight for the ball. They both wanted to keep each other behind when they were stuck, so their arms were entangled. There was a spark of banana burning.
The referee stood between the two and tried to separate them, but the two brawny simply refused to listen, and the conflict intensified.
The referee had no choice but to resort to that trick.
I saw the referee’s old pigeon sinking into dantian, took a deep breath, relaxed his body, and then yelled, “No, Wayne is here!”
“Fuck!” After Ibaka heard the shout, a step back opened the space, looking around, for fear of being beaten.
Ibaka is also a well-known villain in the league, punching Lopez, kicking Griffin, and everyone has to avoid three-pointers.
Only when I met two people, Ibaka was in a second place.
One is James Johnson and the other is Wayne.
These two are not a question of whether you dare to fight, but if you really can’t fight, you will be beaten unilaterally if you go.
The referee quelled the conflict with a shout, leaving Wayne, who was standing still and did not move half a step, with a dazed expression on his face.
I didn’t move at all!
In any case, the game can be continued.
Wayne and Turtle squabble for the ball. Although Wayne has the advantage of height and wingspan, Turtle is really strong enough to bounce and speed, so Wayne did not slack.
Sure enough, as soon as the referee threw the ball into the air, Shao Turtle jumped out as if explosives were tied to his leg, and the sky tortoise went all the way.
You can’t tell that he is a person who has been severely injured.
The most embarrassing thing about Agui is that he gets stronger every time he gets hurt!
In the air, the two bodies slammed into each other.
Fortunately, the height is different, otherwise it will become fencing.
Although Turtle bounced and burst, Wayne managed to get the ball into Butler’s hands.
After getting the basketball, Butler wanted to steal a wave of homes when the Thunder’s defense was not taking shape, so he immediately took possession of the ball and pushed forward.
Durant was the fastest to retreat, and was the first to retreat into the penalty area.
Although he is very long, he is not as hard as Jiebao.
Jie Bao didn’t slow down, he was going to be strong by leaning on Du Xiaoshuai.
In the past, people said that hardship is more important than length, but Wayne didn’t believe it.
Today, Thaksin believed.
Seeing that Jiebao was about to fight back, Robertson rushed forward, leaped high from behind, waved his long arm, and gave Butler a volleyball hat!
Roberson jumped high and his arms were long, so he arranged Jie Bao clearly.
The Blazers’ counterattack was gone.
Robertson in the 16 season, although he is a man who can be defended by Curry alone.
But one thing is that there is something on the defensive end.
Not to mention such a short Butler, he has taken several shots against Leonard this season.
Many people are very curious about why the famous Rachel chose Robertson as his boyfriend.
Is this something unclear?
Because Roberson is long and hard!
It’s natural and wonderful to chase, but it’s also very rude.
Jie Bao was directly knocked out of the bottom line and fell into the crowd.
But because Robertson fanned the ball first, he didn’t foul.
In just a few rounds, they experienced both sides falling to the ground to grab the ball, conflict, brutal late entry and scary referees.
The intensity of the game can be known.
Butler just pulled Wayne up, and now it’s Wayne’s turn to pull him soon.
The game was very fierce, and the confrontation between the two sides was also very fierce.
Wayne remembers the last time he played the Thunder in the playoffs, he didn’t even dare to guard.
Because it was a foul when you touched an Oklahoma City player, Wayne still remembers the fear of being dominated by Durant’s golden round of fines.
But now because Stern is in power, the Thunder have long lost their godson status, so Wayne and the Blazers have also become bold.
The physical contact between both sides was very rough, and the referee acquiesced in most of the confrontation.
This caused the two teams to play tragically.
The game has been going on so fiercely, during the period the two sides froze no one can make a difference.
On the Trail Blazers side, Wayne faced the Thunder’s focus on double-teaming and assisting defense, not scoring at will.
Curry was not easy to play under the entanglement of Agui.
Conversely, Durant faced Wayne, it was difficult to play the performance of death coming, A turtle against Jiebao, it is also very difficult to rely on the explosive talent to attack the frame.
Reliable on the excellent personal abilities of the core of the two teams, and the offense will not be directly locked, it can only be anxious all the time.
In such a muscle battle, the hit rate of both sides today is not particularly high.
At the end of the game, the two teams remained deadlocked.
At this time, Sea King Adams almost became the point that changed the result.
At the end of the fourth quarter, Carlisle replaced Miles Turner, hoping that he could use his mid-range shooting ability to open up space.
As a result, he missed the first open three-pointer after coming up. There was no one to defend him, but he shot very hastily.
On the defensive end, Sea King Adams was forced to eat one, and he was frightened.
It can be seen that in the really fierce playoffs, Turner is still a bit nervous as a rookie.
With the subsequent attack, Adams simply released Turner directly, defending the basket, and besieging Wayne.
This caused Wayne to miss a layup in a rough block by Durant, Ibaka and Adams.
If it is the regular season, this can at least get one foul and two free throws.
But this is the playoffs, and this level of defense is allowed.
Although Stern is facing Wayne, it is impossible to get a balanced whistle in the first game.
For the audience rating, the game must be played as fiercely as possible. It will not benefit the league at all to send it in advance.
Unless Wayne is going to roll over himself, Stern will not easily control the field and interfere.
Wayne was knocked to the ground by three people. This round of the series also exposed the Blazers’ weakness-the space is too small!
Don’t look at the team with Wayne and Curry, two three-pointers who ignore the range, but the starting five tigers basically no one can shoot three-pointers except for them.
Butler can smoke a few occasionally, although it can’t kill people, but at least it can quench thirst.
Tony couldn’t shoot it at all.
Of course, the solution is not without, Luwei or Carter.
But whether Carter can be stable in such a high-intensity game is a question mark.
Lu Wei won’t say anything. Although he has space, it is equivalent to giving the opponent a blast.
Point, Carlisle generally does not easily increase Lu Wei’s playing time before extreme moments.
Because of this, Carlisle replaced Turner.
He is the most suitable candidate, while being able to open up the space, he can also guarantee defense.
Wherever he knew that Turner was pulled up, he was directly emptied by the other party, which was equivalent to failing to achieve the goal.
After the Thunder held Wayne and quickly counterattacked, Gui Shao hit the ball to Adams under the basket. Adams drove Turner and forced a layup.
Turner just raised his arms to block, but didn’t even jump.
In this way, Adams hit Turner twice in a row and directly chased the score by only 1 point!
Carlisle hurriedly called a timeout and took Turner down.
In the playoffs, everything is counterpoint, and everything revolves around targeting the word.
As long as you dare to expose a weakness, the other party will grab you and beat you to death.
Therefore, even if it is only two rounds, even if it is only a small flaw, Carlisle will immediately adjust.
In this kind of game, one more ball can’t be lost!
Although the key to the success or failure of this round of the series lies in the confrontation between Wei Ku and Gui Du.
But it doesn’t mean that other people are just furnishings.
Turner is very frustrated, he also very much wants to contribute to the team, want to prove himself in the playoffs.
But the first time I experienced this kind of scene, the moment I went up, I felt confused, nervous and at a loss.
Wayne shook his head, not blaming him.
Joining a championship team in the first year of a rookie is a challenge for anyone.
Turner is good, but Milicic was sad.
Again, not everyone is like Wayne, who can directly FMVP in his rookie season.
Sea King Adams directly pulled the Thunder from the edge of the cliff with these two balls. At this time, if Tucker makes Wayne the fifth position, Carlisle is afraid that Tucker will not be able to withstand Ibaka.
Tucker’s lower limbs are strong, able to top the inside line, and it’s no problem to top the big and thick.
But Ibaka is different, he has a hand. Don’t say shooting, you can also hook at the basket.
If Tucker guards against such a handy insider, his height disadvantage will be exposed.
There is no way, we can only go to the big 囧基, or rely on the big cleverness.
Although the space problem failed to solve, at least the defense can be stabilized.
Sure enough, Adams failed to make another shot in the three-second zone after Da Jiji came on the field. After Wayne didn’t have to worry about the problem of protecting the frame, he also prevented Durant’s turn over jumper this time, and then attacked and hit Curry. Hand by hand, Curry made a key three-pointer.
After a round, Wayne once again challenged the Thunder’s penalty area. This time, Wayne magically scored the ball with Durant and Adams and caused a foul.
When the fans chanted for MVP, Wayne took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing rate, and scored the goal that made the Thunder hopeless.
The Blazers lead by 7 points and completely kill the game!
108 to 101, the Blazers struggled to win at home.
Wayne had 33 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists, and Curry had 31 points.
On the other end, Durant had 28 points, Agui had 27 points and 12 assists, and Adams had 16 points.
It can be said that the two teams did not decide the victory or defeat until the last minute, and it was not until Wayne finally defended Durant and 2+1 that it was officially killed.
The stars of both sides still dominate, but the role players, Adams, Butler, Ibaka, McGee and others, also played a role.
This is a battle of all the people!
In the first game, Wayne felt the tragedy of this round.
You know, Curry didn’t even make a dunk attempt today!
As a dunker who has practiced dunking since he was young, if Curry doesn’t dunk, it means that the game is so intense that he dare not mess around.
This is the strongest Thunder that Wayne has ever played, none of them. Even the Thunder of the Third Youth Period is not as strong as the Thunder of 16 years.
Although winning, but winning is very difficult, this will not make Wayne feel complacent.
In the next few games, the intensity remained unabated.
In the G2 series, the Thunder stole a victory in the Rose Garden, and the elementary school students were also given a lot of education.
There is no way, Wayne can’t be educated, and he can only start with Wayne’s children.
Today, under the defense of the Turtle Shao at all costs, Curry made only 3 of 11 three-pointers and made less than 30% of his three-pointers.
If it’s just that the offense is unfavorable, it’s not an education. After all, who hasn’t had a low hit rate yet?
But the point is…
Curry actually allowed Robertson to score 13 points today, 9 of which came from outside the three-point line!
Curry still defends in accordance with the usual thinking today, letting Robertson shoot.
As a result, today Roberson’s hand opened up like Te Mo, and he can really get in if you let him go.
One in the third quarter, and two even worse in the fourth quarter.
I don’t know if Rachel came to Portland specifically to help Robertson conduct ball sense training, anyway, his shot today is really outrageous.
Curry has always been known as the best player to defend against Robertson, but he did not expect to roll over today.
After Robertson made three three-pointers, Curry looked at him with a bad expression.
I trust you so much, how can you treat me like this!
In addition to Robertson, Ibaka scored 14 points today, and Dion Waiters, who came off the bench, also scored 13 points.
Lu Wei froze today when he lost to the kid named Waiters during the rotation.
Coupled with Durant’s 27 points and Tortoise’s 30 points, the Thunder finally won the game, bringing the series’ total score to a 1-1 draw.
Although Wayne scored 34 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists, he had two consecutive triple-doubles. But in the face of the thunder that fired across the board, it was still difficult to save the Lord.
116 to 108, the Blazers lost by 8 points.
If it weren’t for Butler’s good mid-range performance today and scored 20 points, the Blazers would be slaughtered by the Thunder in double digits.
In the third game of the series, the Thunder returned to Oklahoma. When he got home, Turtle Brooke was even more lawless.
He was 4 of 8 from three-pointers today, and his mid-range zombie jumper made Butler even more defensive.
Just one step in the three-point line, in that position, once made three in a row!
A turtle scored 36 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists in the whole game, with an efficiency value of 26, the team’s highest!
When Agui plays well, he is really good.
Isn’t there a saying in the arena: The strongest is not a calm turtle.
The strong Turtle almost didn’t crush the Blazers to death. Thunder fans once thought that the team would take a 2-1 lead!
However, in the second half of the fourth quarter, Wayne scored consecutive life-saving goals, abruptly allowing the Blazers to re-establish their advantage and let the Thunder fans feel what it means to be death.
A few rounds before the end of the game, the Thunder trailed by 5 points and Durant had the power to attack.
At that time, he had already scored 26 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks. Looking at the data, you know how hard Adu is today.
Although he gave up most of his shots, he still affected the game in other places.
This is the current Adu, he is no longer the scoring machine that only scored back then.
And now, the scoring machine is ready to stand up again and play this key offense.
Just as the Thunder players cheered, Curry, who was considered the weakest defensive and could not even defend against Robertson, rushed to Durant on his own initiative.
Before Durant reacted, he started everything and knocked out the ball in Durant’s hand.
Adu hurriedly turned and chased him, but Curry blocked Durant with his thin body, and then strenuously pressed the ball under him.
The steal succeeded!
Considered the weakest defensive person, completed the most critical defense of the game!
I can’t prevent Robertson, and I can’t prevent Durant!
“Stealed, Stephen Curry, he actually took the ball from Durant’s hand, and the key round of the Thunder was destroyed!”
In the exclamation of the live commentator, the Thunder fans’ eyes were full of despair.
It turns out that Curry’s only disadvantage on the defensive end is his body.
In terms of willpower, fighting spirit and enthusiasm, he is no worse than anyone!
After getting the basketball, Curry, who was lying on the ground, quickly found Wayne and passed the ball.
Wayne received the basketball, faced Ibaka who had hit him, calmly changed to break backwards.
Ibaka hurriedly adjusted his focus to chase, and the others in the Thunder immediately ran to the basket.
When everyone in the Thunder contracted to the basket, Wayne retreated and returned to the three-point line, kicking the knife down, killing the game!
After the goal, Wayne did not celebrate, but immediately turned around and rushed to the inside of the library, embracing him excitedly.
“Pretty good! Good defense Stephen!”
Curry also changed his usual funny image. After Wayne let go, he hammered the chest of the Thunder fans in the stands and shouted: “Nottoday! Nottoday!”
2 to 1? impossible things!
Today, Curry really killed the game with his defense!
With Curry’s break and Wayne’s attack, the Blazers finally won the game with a 7-point advantage.
Wayne had 38 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists, overpowering Agui for three consecutive triple-doubles!
Even if the turtles are beaten like this, they are still suppressed by Wayne, which fully reflects Wayne’s dominance.
Do whatever you want, I will always be under pressure!
Curry’s steal is the key, but Wayne’s performance is the basic set.
If Wayne hadn’t kept up with the tortoise’s rhythm, Curry’s final steal would be worthless.
Curry scored 26 points like Durant today, but based on the key defense against Durant in the end, his evaluation today is definitely higher than Durant.
This is the combination of number one and number one!
2 to 1, the Blazers once again took a big lead.
After three games, the two teams almost always won the final few rounds of the fourth quarter, and the point difference did not exceed 10 points.
In this series, the Blazers played against the Lakers.
But this is only the Western Conference semifinals!
It was the first time that the Blazers were nearly 1-2 behind in the Western Conference semifinals.
At this time, everyone is discussing whether this round of the series will become a protracted battle.
As far as the strength of the two sides is concerned, not to mention the tiebreaker, at least six games, right?
In this regard, Carlisle disagrees.
After the game, watching the panting Gui Shao and Durant helping each other out of the field, Carlisle knew that the decisive moment had arrived!
The next game, the fourth game of the UU Reading www.uukanshu.com series, is the moment to decide the outcome!
That’s right, it’s not the fifth game, but the fourth game.
In the current three games, as Carlisle expected, Donovan has been using the extreme 7-man rotation.
On the bench, only Waiters and Kanter have relatively stable playing time.
It is precisely by relying on the tireless and unreserved high-intensity fighting of the main lineup that the Thunder can be so sturdy.
No way, Donovan didn’t dare to withdraw the main force.
It would be extravagant to give Turtle and Durant one more minute to rest. Both are extremely dangerous, and they may not be able to keep up with the rhythm.
Everything has two sides, the main force of death can indeed ensure the team’s high-intensity firepower, but the consumption of the Thunder is also huge.
Judging from the current state of Turtle Shao and Durant, the physical stamina of the Thunder should be coming to an end.
They might be able to rush in the next game, but in the fifth game, they will collapse!
In the next game, if the Blazers can win and turn the series total score to 3-1 in one fell swoop, then the Thunder, which has both physically and mentally collapsed, is bound to lose in the fifth game.
If you win the fourth game, you are 90% sure to win the fifth game.
At that time, there will be no need for six games, seven games, five games, five games to solve the battle.
The premise of all this is that the next game must be won.
Therefore, the fourth game has reached the time to decide the outcome.
The two sides had just passed few tricks, but they were about to start killing.
Carlisle looked at his players, the next game, it’s time to give the Thunder some fatal surprises…
