Bishop of the Devil

After the opening game of the Western Conference Finals, the outcome of the opening match between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Knicks in the Eastern Conference was decided.

What Knicks fans didn't expect at all was that the referee actually favored the Philadelphia 76ers in making penalties!

Even though this is the home court of the Philadelphia 76ers, this is something that New York fans cannot accept...

In the end, the Philadelphia 76ers won the opening game by 7 points and secured their first home game.

…

Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals is still the Blazers' home court.

In this game, Popovich resorted to the shark-cutting tactic again. He had no choice but to use this method. Otherwise, the Spurs would be even more hopeless.

Ben's free throw shooting in this game was not as good as in the last game. When the game was over, his free throw shooting percentage was only 60%.

But even if it's only 60%, Popovich's shark-cutting tactic is not worth the gain.

In the end, the Trail Blazers won by 7 points. Ben scored an astonishing 25 points and 19 rebounds, almost scoring a double-20!

The two games of the Western Conference Finals have been played, and the Trail Blazers have won two consecutive games and won two consecutive games.

Next, it depends on whether the Spurs can keep their home court. Even if they keep one home court, it will be enough to make Spurs fans happy.

In the third game of the Western Conference Finals, because it started at the Spurs' home court, Ben's free throws stunned Popovich...

Ben's free throw shooting percentage in this game was as high as 70%!

The Spurs home fans all looked like they had seen a ghost...

Free throws broke out in one game, which is acceptable.

Two games broke out, but it was still manageable...

But now it has broken out three times in a row? ! Who can accept it...

This is simply God helping the pioneers!

Popovich sighed, knowing the game was over...

It doesn't matter if this game ends, the Trail Blazers got a big score of 3:0, which basically means that the Spurs are out!

Want to win against the Trail Blazers who are as stable as a dog in a desperate situation of 3:0? !

It’s impossible even to think about!

In the fourth game, Popovich cut a big quarter in the first half, but the effect was quite painful, so he simply didn’t cut it...

Originally, he had been cutting down Ben, hoping that Ben's free throws would perform "normally", but in the fourth game, Ben's free throw shooting rate remained high.

Popovich knew that there was no point in continuing to cut...

We can only cancel the shark-cutting tactic and instead compete head-on with the Trail Blazers!

The result is naturally conceivable. With their strong backcourt and a substitute lineup that is countless times stronger, the Trail Blazers easily defeated the Spurs again.

"Coach! We killed the Spurs, sweep!" After the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Ben excitedly rushed to Richard's side!

Continue to remain undefeated!

With 61 consecutive wins this season, the Spurs, known as the Trail Blazers' strongest rival, failed to win against the Trail Blazers!

The Blazers are really likely to win everything this season, winning both the regular season and the playoffs!

God-like achievements!

"Well done!"

"Ben, you are really invincible this time..."

"So invincible, how on earth did you do it!?"

"Your free throw was a huge surprise for Popovich..."

After winning the Western Conference Finals, the Trail Blazers players patted Ben on the shoulders and asked in disbelief.

It’s really Ben’s performance in this series that was so unexpected!

Originally seeing Popovich resorting to shark-cutting tactics, the Blazers thought this series would become difficult and unlikely to sweep the Spurs...

But with Ben's magical free throw shooting percentage soaring, the Spurs were still defeated in the end, which did not hinder the Trail Blazers' winning streak at all!

It can be said that Ben is the real hero of this round of Western Conference Finals!

Da Benhan smiled and waved his hand. In fact, he didn't realize why his free throws suddenly improved so much...

Is it possible that the coach's theory is true? !

"Coach, what on earth is going on? I can't figure it out..." Ben turned his attention to Richard.

"Didn't I tell you that the more free throws you take, the higher your hit rate will naturally be. This is a scientific theory. There's nothing you can do if you don't believe it..." Richard waved his hand and said with a smile.

…

Sweep the Spurs and successfully advance to the finals!

This is the second time Richard has entered the finals in the three years since he entered the NBA...

Last season, although they reached the finals, the players were still a bit immature and the Bulls were too strong, so the Blazers lost in seven games.

But this season is different. The Bulls dynasty has disintegrated. In fact, even if the Trail Blazers' strength has not improved compared to last season, they are still the favorite to win the championship this season!

What's more, the strength of the Trail Blazers players has improved tremendously.

Ben, Kobe, O'Brien and others have all become well-known stars in the league. In this case, if he can't win the championship, Richard might as well just crash to death!

…

Richard is naturally quite satisfied with the current situation!

But what makes him more dissatisfied is that this wave of pioneers led by him has broken countless records, but the system has no rewards at all, which is really unjustifiable.

Richard couldn't figure out what the hell was going on in this system. Logically speaking, he should have gained a lot now, but in reality he had gained nothing.

…

At the moment, Richard is too lazy to think about this matter. He wants to win the championship in front of him first.

The Eastern Conference Finals between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Knicks is currently in full swing, with the two sides tied at 2:2.

Speaking of these two teams, no matter who advances to the Eastern Conference Finals, it is actually the same to the Trail Blazers, and they will be swept by them.

Even the Spurs are no match for the Trail Blazers, let alone these two teams.

But emotionally speaking, Richard naturally wants the 76ers to advance...

…

After winning the Western Conference Finals, the atmosphere within the Trail Blazers became a little weird.

Richard could clearly feel that several of the main players in the team were preoccupied right now.

The reason is very simple, that is the issue of contract renewal...

Everyone actually wants to stay in the Trail Blazers. After all, everyone on the team is talented and well-spoken. They like it here very much...

It is impossible to leave the team unless Richard does not renew his contract with them...

Now everyone is wondering who Richard will choose to stay in the team in the end.

Richard felt helpless when he saw such a scene. The palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh. If it weren't for the salary cap, he would definitely keep everyone here.

At this point in time, it is naturally not a good time to talk about contract extension. Even if Richard is sure of winning the championship, he will definitely have to win the championship before he can think about talking about contract extension with the players.
