i'm really an insider

Chapter 741 Chapter 738: Fight as you like, Brother Wei will always overwhelm you (7K begging for tickets)
Wayne stood at the door of Paul Allen's room with a heavy expression.

At this time, Paul's younger sister Judy also came out of the room, glanced at Wayne, and squeezed out a smile: "You see, he is an optimistic person."

"Well, a brave man too." Wayne shrugged.

A day ago, Paul Allen posted a post on his social media, announcing his illness over the years.

Wayne finds it very strange, because Allen's condition has not been disclosed to the public these years, and only people around him know about it.

After seeing this news, Wayne rushed to Allen's house immediately today.Sure enough, Wayne found that he was critically ill, and the whole room was full of medical equipment and doctors.

The purpose of his post was to get everyone mentally prepared.

Allen was a little surprised to see 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.

It's just that in order not to delay the team's preparations, Allen did not notify anyone on the team of his critical illness.

After chatting with Paul for a while, Wayne walked out of the room without disturbing his rest.

This year is 2016, the end of April will soon be May.

In the original history, Allen's death occurred in 2018.

Two full years ahead of schedule.

It's hard to say something about cancer.

Wayne was in a complicated mood, and he was really helpless in this kind of matter.

Seeing Wayne's depressed look, Judy patted Wayne on the back.

"He doesn't want you guys to be affected, so come on. He doesn't miss every game you play. Every game day, he puts on a Blazers cap and smiles like a kid.

Although he can no longer go to the scene, but.
Fulfill his last wish, Wei. "

Wayne nodded, not knowing what to say.

That's the only thing he can do now.

Just now, when Wayne left Paul and was about to walk out of the room, Allen also said a word to Wayne in a weak voice: "Champion."

Champion, this may be their last collaboration.

After returning from Allen's house, 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. The Warriors, the champions of the Western Conference last season, are eager to return to the finals to avenge Lao Zhan.

The Thunder's juniors have finally played a full season, full of ambitions.

As for the pioneers, if Wayne does not succeed, he will become the laughing stock of the whole world, and he will lower his historical status by one level.

This may be the most intense playoff game Wayne has encountered since 2011.

On April 4, in the Rose Garden, Wayne and Durant finally met again.

As soon as Durant stepped into the arena, he looked up and cursed: "Fuck, you are really nothing!"

In the stands, a large group of fans held up signs like 22-11.

This is the score played by Durant and Wayne in this year's All-Star heads-up match.

Although Xiaoshuai and the cheerleaders danced very happily afterwards, the punishment gave the feeling of being rewarded, and even raised Xiaolanhua's fingers when they danced to the place of forgetfulness.

But that game was really aggrieved.

This brand is not very harmful, but it is extremely humiliating.

He obviously came here with great ambitions, but he was hit in the face 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 brought out by Wayne, what do they look like?

Wayne looked at the signs raised by the fans, smiled, and then waved his hand: Take it!
After the competition starts later, I will ask you to lift it when you lift it.

Although Wayne felt very comfortable with the young coach's mentality before the game, but Wayne knew very well that this season's Adu will never be hindered by such a trivial matter.

Wayne didn't know how many times he had watched the 16 Western Conference Finals in the original history, because it was so damn exciting.

Both sides had a well-organized lineup, and neither had any unique moves. They just fought hard and fought solidly for seven games.

To be honest, if it weren't for the exaggerated 6 three-pointers scored by G11 Bliss Soup, the Thunder might really have entered the finals.

If the Thunder enter the finals, Adu may not leave.

Sure enough, as soon as the game started today, the Thunder gave the Blazers a great sense of oppression.

After just two rounds of fighting, Young Master Turtle and Wayne got into a fight on the floor.

"Wayne got the ball, Westbrook went straight up and the two of them had a big fight on the floor. Scrimmage, the ref gave a scrimmage!"

The moment Westbrook heard the whistle, he lay on Wayne and waved his arms violently, spit flying all over Wayne's face.

Wayne is really convinced, you want to celebrate that I don't object, but you must at least get rid of me first!
Gan!
Soon, Tony and Butler came up and reached out to pull Wayne up.

The first thing Wayne did when he got up was to yell at the referee: "I just called a timeout, why are you fighting for the ball!"

"I didn't hear you, Way."

"I didn't hear it." Wayne tried his best to restrain his urge to hit someone. Tell me that you didn't hear such a crucial game.

But indeed, because the game was too intense today, the cheers on the scene and the voices of the players communicating with each other on the court were very loud.

This game is just like the playoffs!
Wayne and Turtlesbrook stand at the free throw line, ready for a scrimmage.

But before the ball started to be contested, the referee blew his whistle again.

"What do you want? Believe it or not, I will cut you!"

"Fuck, cut me? Don't you know that I, Big McGee, is the most ruthless person in Portland?"

Ibaka and McGee were face-to-face and spammed each other. It turned out that when Wayne and Mr. Turtle were about to scramble for the ball just now, they both wanted to keep each other behind when they were stuck, so their arms were entangled together, and sparks were sparked.

The referee stood between the two and tried to separate them, but the two strong men refused to listen, and the conflict intensified.

The referee had no choice but to use that trick.

I saw the referee's old pigeon sinking into his dantian, took a deep breath, relaxed his whole body, and then shouted with all his strength: "No, Wayne is here!"

"Damn it!" Ibaka took a step back to open up space after hearing the shout, looking left and right for fear of being hit.

Ibaka is also a well-known villain in the league. He punched Lopez and kicked Griffin. Anyone who saw him had to avoid three points.

Only when meeting two people, Ibaka is second-guessed.

One is James Johnson and the other is Wayne.

These two are not a question of whether you dare to fight, if you really can't fight, if you go, you will be beaten unilaterally.

The referee calmed down the conflict with a loud roar, leaving only Wayne who stood still and didn't move half a step with a confused face.

I didn't move at all!

In any case, the game can be continued.

Wayne and Mr. Turtle competed for the ball. Although Wayne had the advantage of height and wingspan, Mr. Turtle had enough bounce and speed after all, so Wayne did not slack off at all.

Sure enough, as soon as the referee tossed the ball into the air, Young Master Gui jumped out as if he had explosives tied to his legs, and the whole turtle jumped out.

You can't tell at all that he is a person who has been seriously injured.

The most embarrassing thing about Agui is that every time he gets seriously injured, he can become stronger instead!
In the air, their bodies collided violently.

Fortunately, the height is different, otherwise it will become fencing.

Although Turtle bounced and exploded, Wayne managed to get the ball into Butler's hands.

After Butler got the basketball, he wanted to steal a wave of home while the Thunder's defense was not formed, so he immediately controlled the ball and moved forward.

Durant was the fastest to retreat, and was the first to retreat into the penalty area.

Although he is long, he is not as hard as Jiebao.

Jiebao didn't slow down, and leaned directly on Du Xiaoshuai to force him.

In the past, people said that strength was more important than length, but Wayne didn't believe it.

Today, he believed it.

Seeing that Jiebao was about to launch a counterattack, Robertson hurried over, leaped high from behind, swung his long arms, and gave Butler a volleyball cap!
Robertson, with his high jumps and long arms, laid out Jebbo clearly.

The Blazers' counterattack was just gone.

Although Robertson in the 16 season was a man who could be defended by Curry alone.

But one thing to say, there is really something on the defensive end.

Not to mention such a short Butler, he has taken several shots against Leonard this season.

Many people are curious why the famous Rachel chooses such a little-known player as Robertson as her boyfriend.

Isn't this obvious?
Because Roberson is long and hard!
This chasing counterfeit is naturally wonderful, but it is also very rough.

Jiebao was directly knocked out of the bottom line and fell into the crowd.

However, because Robertson fanned the ball first, it was not a foul.

In just a few rounds, the two sides fell to the ground to grab the ball, conflicts, rough entry and scary referees.

The intensity of the competition is palpable.

Butler has just pulled Wayne up, and now it will soon be Wayne's turn to pull him up.

The game was quite intense, and the confrontation between the two sides was also very fierce.

Wayne remembered that when he played the Thunder in the playoffs last time, he didn't dare to defend at all.

Because as soon as you touch a Thunder player, it's a foul. Wayne still remembers the fear of being dominated by Durant's golden wheel penalty.

But now because Stern is in power, the Thunder has long lost the status of godson, so Wayne and the Blazers have also become bolder.

Physical contact was rough on both sides, and the referees acquiesced to most of the confrontation.

This made the two teams play very fiercely.

The game has been going on so fiercely, during which the two sides froze and no one could close the point difference.

For the Blazers, Wayne didn't score as he wanted in the face of the Thunder's key double-teaming and defense.

Under the entanglement of A Gui, Curry did not play easily.

On the other hand, it is difficult for Durant to play the performance of death when facing Wayne, and it is also very difficult for Agui to attack Jiebao with his explosive talent.

Relying on the excellent personal abilities of the core of the two teams, the offense will not be directly locked, so they can only be anxious all the time.

In such a muscle battle, neither side's hit rate today is particularly high.

At the end of the game, the two teams were still deadlocked.

At this time, Neptune Adams almost became the point that changed the result.

At the end of the fourth quarter, Carlisle replaced Myles 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 he came up. Obviously no one was defending him, but he shot very hastily.

On the defensive end, Neptune Adams was forced to eat one, and he was afraid of defense.

It can be seen that Turner, as a rookie, is still a little nervous in the really intense playoffs.

In the next attack, Adams simply released Turner, defended the basket, and surrounded Wayne.

As a result, Wayne missed a layup in the rough block of Durant, Ibaka and Adams.

In the regular season, this would at least earn 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 make a balance call in the first game.

For the sake of ratings, the game must be played as intensely as possible, and early walks are not good for the league at all.

Unless Wayne himself is about to overturn, Stern will not easily interfere with the field control.

Wayne was knocked to the ground by three people, and this round of the series also exposed the Blazers' weakness - too little space!
Although the team has Wayne and Curry, two three-point maniacs who ignore the range, but basically no one in the starting five can shoot three-pointers except for them.

Butler can still smoke a few occasionally, although it can't kill people, it can at least quench their thirst.

Tony couldn't shoot at all.

Of course, the solution is not nothing, go to Lu Wei or go to Carter.

Whether Carter can be stable in such a high-intensity game is a question mark.

Not to mention Lu Wei, although there is space for him, it is equivalent to giving the other party a blast

At this point, Carlisle generally does not easily increase Lu Wei's playing time until the extreme moment.

That's why Carlisle replaced Turner.

He is the most suitable candidate, while being able to stretch the floor, he can also guarantee defense.

How did he know that Turner was pulled when he came up, and he was directly emptied by the opponent, which is equivalent to failing to achieve his goal.

The Thunder quickly counterattacked after holding down Wayne, and the young man hit the ball to Adams under the basket. Adams pushed Turner away and forced a layup.

Turner just raised his arms to block, but didn't even jump.

In this way, Adams beat Turner twice in a row, and directly chased the score to only 1 point!
Carlisle hurriedly called a timeout and took Turner down.

In the playoffs, everything is matchup, everything revolves around the word against.

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, you can't afford to lose one more ball!

Although the key to the success of this round of the series lies in the confrontation between Weiku and Guidu.

But it doesn't mean that other people are completely decorations.

Turner was very frustrated, and he really wanted to contribute to the team and wanted to prove himself in the playoffs.

But the first time I experienced this kind of scene, the moment I went up, I was stunned, nervous and at a loss.

Wayne shook his head without blaming him.

Joining a championship contender in his first year as a rookie is a challenge for anyone.

Turner is considered good, but Milicic was called sad back then.

Again, not everyone is like Wayne, who can directly win the FMVP in his rookie season.

These two balls from Neptune Adams directly pulled the Thunder back from the edge of the cliff. At this time, if Tucker is used to let Wayne take the fifth position, Carlisle is afraid that Tucker will not be able to hold up Ibaka.

Tucker's lower limbs are strong, and he can hit the inside line, and it's no problem to fight that kind of big boss.

But Ibaka is different, he has a hand job.Not to mention accurate shooting, he can also hook under the basket.

If Tucker goes to defend against this kind of insider with hands-on work, his height disadvantage will be fully exposed.

There is no way, I still have to go to the big embarrassment base, and I still have to rely on great cleverness.

Although the solution to the space problem failed, at least the defense can be stabilized.

Sure enough, Adams couldn't continue to make shots in the three-second zone after Big Jiong came on the court. After Wayne didn't have to worry about the problem of protecting the frame, he also blocked Durant's turnaround jumper this time, and then attacked and played hand-in-hand with Curry, allowing Curry to make a key three-pointer.

After one round, Wayne once again challenged the Thunder penalty area.This time, Wayne had Durant and Adams magically drive the ball up and draw a foul.

While the fans were chanting MVP, Wayne took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing rate, and made a free throw that made the Thunder all desperate.

The Blazers led by 7 points and completely killed 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 outcome until the last moment. It was not until Wayne's final defense against Durant and 2+1 that the game 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 men!

In the first match, Wayne felt the tragedy of this round.

You know, Curry didn't even attempt a dunk today!

As a dunker who has practiced dunking since he was a child, if even Curry doesn't dunk, it means that the game is so fierce that he dare not mess around.

This is the strongest Thunder that Wayne has ever played, bar none.Even the Thunder in the third youth period is not as strong as the Thunder in 16 years.

Although he won, it was very difficult to win, which did not make Wayne complacent.

In the next few games, the intensity remained undiminished.

In G2 of the series, the Thunder stole a victory in the Rose Garden, and the elementary school students were taught a lot.

There is no way, we can't educate Wayne, we can only attack Wayne's children.

Today, under the defense of Mr. Turtle who spared no effort in physical fitness, Curry made only 11 of 3 three-pointers in the game, and his three-point shooting percentage was less than 30%.

If it's just a bad offense, it's not really an education.After all, who hasn't had a low hit rate?

But the key is
Curry actually allowed Robertson to score 13 points today, 9 of which came from outside the three-point line!
Curry still defended according to the conventional thinking today and let Robertson shoot.

As a result, today Robertson's hand is like a fucking light, if you let him go, he can really get in.

One in the third quarter, and two in the fourth quarter.

I don't know if Rachel came to Portland to help Robertson with ball training. Anyway, his shooting today is outrageous.

Curry has always been known as the best player in defending Robertson alone, but he didn't expect to overturn today.

After Robertson made three three-pointers, Curry couldn't see his expression right.

I trust you so much, and 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 lost to the brat Waiters in the rotation time today.

Coupled with Durant's 27 points and Gui Shao's 30 points, the Thunder finally won the game and tied the series at 1-1.

Although Wayne scored 34 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists, he had two triple-doubles in a row.But in the face of the thunder that opened fire across the board, it was still difficult to save the savior.

116 to 108, the Blazers lost by 8 points.

If it weren't for Butler's good mid-range performance today, scoring 20 points, the Blazers would probably be slaughtered by double digits by the Thunder.

In the third game of the series, the Thunder returned to Oklahoma City.At home, Turtlesbrook is even more lawless.

He made 8 of 4 three-pointers today, and his mid-range emergency stop zombie jumper made Butler even scold him.

Just one step in from the three-point line, at that position, he scored three consecutive goals!
In the whole game, Agui scored 36 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, with an efficiency value of 26, the highest in the team!
When Turtle is playing well, he is really good.

Isn't there a saying in the Jianghu: the strongest is the calm turtle.

The strong Turtle almost crushed the Blazers to death. Thunder fans once thought that the team would take a 2-1 lead!
But in the second half of the fourth quarter, Wayne's consecutive life-saving goals abruptly allowed the Blazers to re-establish their advantage, and made Thunder fans feel what it means to die.

In the first few rounds of the game, the Thunder trailed by 5 points, and Durant took the offensive power.

他那时候已经拿下了26分8个篮板4次助攻3次抢断3次封盖，看数据就知道阿杜今天有多拼。

Although he gave up most of the shots, he still affected the game in other places.

This is Adu now, he is no longer the scoring machine that can only score.

And now, this scoring machine is ready to stand up again and play this key offense.

Just as the Thunder players were cheering, Curry, who was considered the weakest defender and couldn't even defend Robertson, rushed to Durant on his own initiative.

Before Durant reacted, he did everything and knocked the ball out of Durant's hand.

Adu hurriedly turned around to chase after him, but Curry blocked Durant with his thin body, and then jumped hard to press the ball under him.

Successful steal!

The person who is considered to be the weakest defender completed the most critical defense of the game!
I can't guard Robertson, but I can't guard Durant!
"Steal, Stephen Curry, he actually stole the ball from Durant's hands, the Thunder's key round was ruined!"

In the exclamation of the live commentary, the eyes of the Thunder fans were full of despair.

As it turns out, Curry's only downside on the defensive end is his size.

In terms of willpower, fighting spirit and enthusiasm, he is no worse than anyone else!
After getting the basketball, Curry, lying on the ground, hurriedly found Wayne and passed the ball.

Wayne received the basketball, facing Ibaka who was running towards him, calmly changed direction and broke through.

Ibaka quickly adjusted his focus and chased back, and the rest of the Thunder immediately ran to the basket.

When everyone in the Thunder shrunk to the basket, Wayne retreated back to outside the three-point line, with a knife in his hand and down, killing the game!
After the goal, Wayne did not celebrate, but immediately turned around and rushed to Curry, hugging him excitedly.

"Beautiful defense! Beautiful defense Stephen!"

Curry also changed his usual funny image. After being released by Wayne, he hammered his chest at the Thunder fans in the stands and yelled: "Not today! Not today!"

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 by 7 points.

Wayne scored 38 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists, overpowering Agui, with three consecutive triple-doubles!
Even though A Gui was beaten like this, he was still suppressed by Wayne, which fully demonstrated Wayne's dominance.

Fight as you want, I will always be under pressure!
Curry's steals are the key, but Wayne's performance is the basic set.

If Wayne hadn't kept up with the rhythm of the turtle, Curry's last steal would have been worthless.

Curry scored 26 points today like Durant, but based on the key defense against Durant at the end, his evaluation today must be higher than Durant.

That's number one and number one combined!
2 to 1, the Blazers once again took a big lead.

After three games, the two teams almost didn't decide the winner until the last few rounds of the fourth quarter, and the point difference did not exceed 10 points.

This series has the inner taste of the Trail Blazers and Lakers.

But this is only the Western Conference semifinals!
It almost made the Blazers face a 1-2 deficit in the Western Conference semifinals, which is also the first time.

At this point, everyone is discussing whether this round of the series will become a protracted battle.

With the strength of the two sides, not to mention the tie-break, at least six games must be played, right?

Carlyle disagrees.

After the game, seeing the panting Turtle and Durant helping each other off the court, Carlisle knew that the decisive moment had come!

The next game, the fourth game in the series, will be the decisive moment!

That's right, not the fifth game, but the fourth game.

In the current three games, as Carlisle expected, Donovan has been using the ultimate 7-man rotation.

On the bench, only Waiters and Kanter have relatively stable playing time.

It is precisely because of the tireless and unreserved high-intensity fighting of the main lineup that the Thunder can be so tough.

There is no way, Donovan dare not withdraw the main force.

Letting Agui and Durant rest for an extra minute is a luxury, it is extremely dangerous, and they may not be able to keep up with the rhythm.

Everything has two sides, the main force can indeed guarantee high-intensity firepower for the team, but the consumption of the Thunder is also huge.

Judging from the current state of Turtle and Durant, the Thunder's physical fitness should be coming to an end.

They may still be able to charge in the next round, but in the fifth round, they will collapse!
In the next game, if the Trail Blazers can win and turn the total score of the series into 3-1 in one fell swoop, then the Thunder, who are both physically and mentally broken, are bound to lose in Game [-].

After winning the fourth game, there is a [-]% chance of winning the fifth game.

At that time, instead of six or seven, five or five, the battle can be resolved.

And the premise of all this is that the next game must be able to win.

Therefore, the fourth game has come to decide the outcome.

The two sides have only gone through a few tricks, but they are already about to start killing people.

Carlisle looked at his players, next game, it's time to give the Thunder some fatal surprises.
