I am Really an Insider

The whole world is paying attention to this unprecedented battle, and everyone is looking forward to the match between the two sides.

Golden State Warriors and Portland Trail Blazers, before last season, these two teams did not have so much intersection and grievances.

Although the Warriors of the Cannon Beast Era are also one of the Blazers' formidable enemies, the two sides have not yet reached the level of rivals.

But now, because of last season's tiebreaker in the Western Conference Finals and because of everything going on in the regular season this season, the relationship between the two teams has been turned upside down.

Known in history as dog brain diplomacy, a massacre caused by a lump of dog brain.

At this time, the Warriors and Trail Blazers are definitely the most jealous rivals in the West.

The first game of the series will start in the Rose Garden. Before the start of today's game, the Trail Blazers also held a very grand MVP award ceremony.

Amid the cheers of all the fans in the audience, Wayne took the regular season MVP trophy from Stern.

Stern smiled so sweetly, and the old Jewish man was very happy that Wayne won the MVP.

This is Wayne's fifth regular season MVP in his career, tying the records of Jordan and Bill Russell. It is part of the god-making plan.

In history, it is also second only to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who won the MVP 6 times.

Although Wayne is not yet the first in history in the total number of MVPs, five MVPs are already very impressive.

Although Kareem Abdul-Jabbar only retired in 1989, he won all his MVP awards in the 1970s.

As a basketball player in the 21st century, Wayne has been able to win 5 MVPs. This number is very astonishing.

The announcement of the MVP results made yesterday's DPOY look more like a warm-up.

As long as Wayne comes back, it's all his!

The selection of MVP is actually not that complicated, as it is the core of the team with the best record. As long as your personal data doesn't get too high and other people's data don't get too explosive, then generally the MVP will be stable.

What's more, Wayne's statistics are not inferior to others.

Seeing Wayne lift the MVP trophy, Green became even more excited on the sidelines.

What better way to prove yourself than beating an MVP?

And Lao Zhan felt extremely heartbroken watching Wayne win the MVP trophy.

Although the finals have not started yet, even the finals matchups have not been determined yet.

But in this King vs. King war, Lao Zhan, who lost the MVP, has undoubtedly fallen into a disadvantage.

Wayne suddenly appeared with a "whoosh" sound and took away the trophy, leaving Lao Zhan standing there in confusion.

This wave of steals made Lao Zhan very helpless.

Think about it, it took a lot of effort to win the championship last season and become the number one player in the league.

As a result, the old leader came back before his butt was hot and the first person had not had enough of the addiction: "Xiao Zhan, that is my position, please give way."

Who the hell can stand this?

This time Wayne stole the MVP, which shook James' dominance.

On this lively MVP night, according to the previous script, Wayne will definitely lead the team to turn the tide at home and make a good start for the series.

But today, the Golden State Warriors ruined this otherwise beautiful night.

They stole the victory on MVP night!

"Livingston passes the ball to Green, Green gets the ball in the high post, what does he do? Give it to Thompson?

No, he gave the ball to Livingston who cut in. Livingston hit a layup due to McGee's interference. Good shot!

Today, the Warriors' role players took control of the situation! "

Livingston hit a layup, and at this time he had scored his 20th point of the game!

As a substitute, with 20 points in a single game, Livingston's impact on the victory today was huge.

The Warriors did not have a particularly high-scoring player today, but they flourished across the board. Everyone's shots and scores were very average.

And this is exactly what Cole expects, to use as many role players as possible to wear down his opponents.

Then, when the opponent is exhausted, he plays Death Five to boost the rhythm and completely end the game!

Livingston completed this task very well today. His precise mid-range shooting and excellent finishing at the basket made the Blazers' defense exhausted.

After Livingston scored, the Warriors already led the Trail Blazers by 6 points.

Today, overall, the two sides played evenly. Moreover, a lot of energy was spent on the defensive end.

Butler's pressing made Thompson's scoring no longer so arbitrary today.

It took a lot of effort for him to get rid of Jie Bao during the ball.

And Jiebao knows Thompson very well. They played together last season and faced each other countless times on the training field.

Because he has been in the same dressing room for many years, he even knows exactly what color pants Tom likes to wear.

As soon as he came on stage today, Jiebao smiled and said in Thompson's ear: "It's pink today~"

Tom glanced at Jibao in surprise, you actually remember my preferences!

This is to remind Tom, I know you very well, you can't even think of scoring an easy score on me.

Today, Jiebao did what he did to make it difficult for Tom. First of all, he did not let him catch the ball easily. Once Thompson received the ball, Jiebao pressed directly.

You're lucky. If you make it three moves without making a mistake, I lose!

As long as there is a confrontation, Tom will definitely miss the dribble.

After all, Tom couldn't arm-wrestle a girl during his trip to China. Do you expect him to push Jie Bao evenly?

On Paul's side, after a serious injury, his ability to attack tough situations is not that strong. Coupled with Curry's desperate defense, it is also difficult for Paul to play.

After all, Pao'er, who suffered a serious injury, has never been the kind of player who can score points.

As for Green, he is originally a system player and has limited ability to score independently on the offensive end.

Therefore, today the Trail Blazers did not let any one Warrior perform particularly eye-catching.

But the Warriors' ability to play the ball is too strong. Everyone can pass and make the ball, and their offense runs extremely smoothly.

With smooth passing, opportunities can always be generated.

Livingston, Barbosa, Iguodala, these role players all scored a lot today.

The Trail Blazers were also tightly guarded by the Warriors.

Paul roughly defended Curry alone, Thompson made Butler uncomfortable on the offensive end, and Green and Iguodala attacked Wayne, which contained the Blazers' offense to a certain extent.

He was also double-teamed, but Wayne's scoring difficulty was completely different from the previous round.

Iguodala and Green are both defensive warriors, and they are not inferior in footwork and confrontation.

In addition, Green's defense is so fierce. If you cut out the shots of every Wayne Green matchup today, you will find that even when Wayne does not have the ball, Green will not give Wayne a second. Breathing time.

He was fighting against Wayne and fighting for position all the time.

The two of them are more threatening than Ibaka + Robertson when they flank Wayne.

As a result, both sides relied on defense to fight inextricably.

But because the Warriors' role players performed better, they gained a 6-point advantage.

After this ball, Curry originally planned to attack Paul, but was embarrassed by Paul's rough defense.

Pao'er occupies a seat in the defensive first team all year round, and it's not because of his luck.

After being entangled by Paul, Curry chose to hand the ball to Tony, who was supporting in the high post. Tony was just a transfer point. The moment he caught the ball, he shot the ball again, targeting Wayne.

But just as Wayne was getting ready to catch the ball, Green, who had been guarding him, suddenly pushed Wayne away, stretched out his arm, and got the basketball!

This steal was very crucial. Green directly passed the long ball to Iguodala.

Iguodala jumped up and scored a one-handed dunk.

This break and pass gave the Warriors an 8-point lead at the last moment!

The moment the Warriors scored, Green grabbed his jersey and shouted at the fans on the sidelines: "Best Defensive Player, Best Defensive Player!"

He was venting his dissatisfaction for not getting the DPOY.

This key defense gave Green the confidence to vent.

Although Wayne and Curry teamed up to score 7 points at the last minute, it was too late and there was not enough time.

In the end, the Warriors relied on everyone's strength, seven players scored in double figures, and the team's outstanding performance of 49% shooting to win the first game of the series 112-109!

Thompson had 26 points, Green had 12 points and 11 rebounds, and Paul had 15 points and 9 assists.

Iguodala had 12 points, Livingston had 20 points, Barbosa had 11 points, and Ezeli had 10 points.

Who can withstand such offensive efficiency?

For the Trail Blazers, Wayne had 28 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists, Curry had 26 points, and Butler had 17 points.

If the game time could be extended by even one round, the ending might be different.

It would be a pity if it never becomes a reality.

"At the end of the game, the Golden State Warriors once again won in the Rose Garden. They won a valuable away game and defended the glory of the Western Conference championship!

They stole the victory on Wayne's MVP night! "

At the end of the game, Green was so crazy. He jumped directly onto the technical stage and roared loudly at the Trail Blazers fans.

What a bullshit MVP, what a bullshit DPOY, I only fight the elite!

Well, although Green only scored 12 points and 11 rebounds today, in his opinion, he seemed to have completely overwhelmed Wayne's 28+10+9.

He always felt that he and Wayne were on the same level.

In the words of Chinese fans, this is called no beep number.

Wayne looked at the Warriors players celebrating their victory crazily and sighed, feeling it was a pity.

But that's all. He is not discouraged, let alone despair.

Today's loss means that, to put it bluntly, the Warriors can score regardless of who gets the ball.

Livingston scored 8 out of 10 today, can you believe it?

Several goals were thrown randomly under the basket and went in. The fans shouted: "Isn't Jordan retired?"

But how many such games are there in a series?

There is no real team that relies on role players to win the series, right?

Today, the Trail Blazers take good care of the Warriors stars.

Except for Thompson who scored 26 points, the other two did not score high.

And Thompson's efficiency was not as good as in the first two rounds.

Therefore, as long as they adjust their strategy slightly in the next game, the Blazers can win.

Wayne is more concerned about offense than defense.

The Warriors' defense was indeed too rough, and Wayne felt that he was as good as when he played in the playoffs for the first time.

Although Green didn't do anything dirty today, he was still very aggressive in confrontation.

Coupled with Iguodala's help defense, it is indeed a bit difficult to play.

Wayne didn't think any more and turned around and walked back to the tunnel.

As long as they can figure out a way to get out of trouble on offense, the Warriors are gone.

At the post-game press conference, the big-mouthed Green naturally would not miss any opportunity to tease Wayne.

"Key steals at the last moment are nothing. This is the basic quality that a good defensive player should possess."

"How do you think about Wayne winning the MVP trophy for the fifth time in his career? I don't have to think about it, we won the MVP! 24 hours a day, seven days a week, we can win the MVP at any time!"

Last season, people always said that if Wayne was there, the Blazers would not lose.

But today, the Warriors proved that they can win even with Wayne.

Green can't help but complain.

Don't talk about beep numbers with Green. Can someone with beep numbers figure out Green's formula?

On the other side, everyone expected Wayne to be very angry. Some even asked Wayne whether Green's rough push during the last steal was suspected of foul play.

Everyone was waiting for Wayne to complain about Green and have a big war of words with his opponent.

But Wayne just shook his head. He had long passed the age of arguing with his opponents.

“The past is the past and I don’t want to discuss that goal because it won’t change anything.

What I want to say is that this is just a game.

In NBA history, there is no example of being eliminated without losing a game.

It's too early to discuss winning or losing now. Let's wait until the Warriors let us lose four games before talking about winning or losing.

As for Green, I really don’t want to talk about him anymore.

I have said many times that we are not on the same level as players.

If you want to talk to me about Paul and talk about Thompson, I'd be more than happy to.

But Green? forget it. "

When Green was bragging and thinking he was embarrassing Wayne, Wayne didn't even bother to give him a thumbs up.

Wayne's contemptuous attitude towards him from beginning to end made Green very angry.

The biggest humiliation is not to confront you, but not to care about you at all.

In the past, Green had already made Wayne look good.

But since he was beaten last time, he only yelled fiercely, but in fact he really didn't dare to conflict with Wayne.

Bogut was beaten until he was lying dead for a season. Green is not interested in the taste of his brain.

Secondly, Green also knows very well that the playoffs cannot be easily won.

If he is sent off, it will be very harmful to the team.

For the sake of the team, I can only endure it.

Of course, Green will not tolerate it.

He has already thought about what if the series really comes to an end.

Then he will find a way to trade with Wayne's limit!

At that time, as long as it can anger Wayne, he is willing to do anything!

The first game of the series ended with the Warriors' victory.

Carlisle reviewed the game with the players early the next morning. The Warriors ended the game without even using the five players in the last game.

This team handles the ball better than Carlisle expected.

If you want to curb this multi-point performance, you must have someone to sweep up the help defense and fill in the gaps at any time, so that everyone on the other side has no chance to score easily.

But because the Warriors are too strong in three-point shooting and have too much space, the Blazers were basically man-to-man yesterday and had very little effective defense.

In the last game, Wayne focused more on Green.

In the last round of the series, Green shot 40.5% from three-point range. Carlisle really didn't dare to let Wayne let him go.

But asking Wayne to focus on one Green is indeed a waste of resources.

Carlisle then decided to adjust the starting lineup again!

This time, it is necessary to maximize the ability of Wayne, the dominant DPOY.

As for the offense... just give full play to the personal abilities of Curry and Wayne.

The Trail Blazers have formulated new strategies to prepare for the next battle.

But Warriors fans are still ecstatic, shouting such confusing words as "The Western Conference championship is never the goal, the championship is. So winning against the Trail Blazers is normal."

Lao Zhan looked at the ecstatic Warriors fans on the Internet and felt a little sweat for them.

Your thoughts are very dangerous, but you wouldn't be like this if you had a plate of peanuts!

You don’t really believe in Green’s evil, do you? He didn’t have a beep number, so you guys didn’t have a beep number?

Listen to Brother Zhan’s advice, this 1-0 thing is all virtual, the water in it is very deep, you can’t grasp it at all!

Never be ecstatic when leading Wayne 1-0. Really, this is the painful experience of those who have been there!

But Warriors fans don't care about this at all, and even Green is still full of confidence.

Wayne? It's just the MVP that Stern promoted.

With extremely inflated self-confidence, everyone on the Warriors embarked on the journey to play Game 2 in the Rose Garden.
