The only consolation for Portland was that the pioneers did not lose their morale.

Facing the reporter's question, Lillard said calmly: "I may be a little angry and depressed. But if I want to lose my confidence, they need to work harder. It's 3:0, but that doesn't mean it's over. We're not here to be defeated. We need to win the next game. After winning the next game, the series will change, especially after that we will be back at home

As the pioneer's number two figure, mccullam in this series, although Billy lad better, but also not satisfactory. Rondo and hollerty's defense was just too strong.

"Now, we have to face a game away from home that could be eliminated, and the opponent has beaten us before. So we have to be ready to bring energy to the court and leave everything on the court Mccullam said, "you have to win the next game. The most important game is the next one. So you have to win game four before you have game five. What I can control is my mentality and determination to enter the competition with a hard attitude

However, it's no use saying anything before the game. Lillard's form picked up after the fourth game, but the pelicans didn't give them the chance to bring the game to Portland.

In fact, the Blazers played very well in the first half, they controlled their mistakes very well, and the attack success rate was very high. The team's tactics are very smooth, the overall hit rate is as high as 50%. The pelicans didn't make a three-point shot, but they had a terrifying percentage inside. 17 out of 20, shooting 85%. However, the pelican made too many mistakes in these two quarters, giving the Blazers too many opportunities. Therefore, the two teams have been in a stable state, neither can obtain too much advantage.

The turning point of the game came in the third quarter. The Blazers were still in the first half, controlling mistakes and playing steady. But the pelican found its own outside touch. Hollerty, Davis and even Rondo all made shots from outside the three-point line. In particular, hollerty, after he scored three three points in a row, immediately opened the difference to two figures.

The pelican doesn't have to stop the pace of the Blazer's attack. After pausing to come back, under Rondo's assists, Davies unceasingly obtains under the basket, huoledi outside line suddenly uses the cold arrow. The most fatal problem of the Blazers was that they had a good defense at the beginning and became weak. The defensive side couldn't stop the pelican from scoring and the offense couldn't open. The trailblazers can only enter the final section with a 13 point disadvantage.

In fact, at this time, the mood of the players on both sides is completely different. Even ANLO can see through TV that Lillard's mood is very low now. They really can't beat it! This time the pelican hit the trailblazer's seven inches. This also shows the importance of Lillard to the pioneers. In fact, it is the first time that people have seen Lillard so depressed in these years. He has always been full of confidence, but in these games, Rondo and horadi have taken good care of him.

In the fourth quarter, the pioneers who were forced to the edge of the cliff finally broke out the strongest fighting force of the series. Mccullam and nurkic played a wave of 11:2 attack, close to the score is still four points. Of course, thanks to the pelican's drop in shooting rate and Davis's five fouls on his back, he could only sit on the sidelines in the first half of the quarter. Nurkic took control of the basket and the Blazers played four minutes of the game they had always wanted to play. With more than seven minutes to go before the game, the Blazers are only four points behind the pelican, and there is hope for everything.

Later, however, hollerty found a way to help the pelican stabilize the situation. Davis has to take on more responsibility when he's not available. Although the shooting percentage dropped, hollerty was still able to kill under the basket through his own breakthrough. After all, nuerkic and mccullam of the Trail Blazers are all fouled four times, and dare not make too big moves.

Although the Blazers were close to the score, they were not happy at all. The other side's downturn is not due to their defense, which means that as soon as Davis and Rondo play later, the Blazers will face the same dilemma as the second half of the third quarter. They wanted to seize the first half of the time to accumulate some advantages, but now it seems that the effect is not good. The wave of attack they just had was more like a dying struggle.

Meanwhile, as far away as Oklahoma City, ANLO is on the phone with Westbrook. They both agreed that the pelican would get rid of the Blazers in this game. In fact, it's not good news for them. The pelican's configuration, although it can not be said to completely restrain the thunder, but at least the three points of Westbrook, ANLO and Adams will be suppressed. Given that the overall strength is better than the Blazers, Anluo may not be targeted as badly as Lillard did, but Paul George is bound to be a key point if the thunder wants to win.

The result of the match was the same as they expected. After Davis and Rondo played, the Blazers couldn't resist. In the end, Pelican beat the trailblazer who ranked higher in the regular season 131-112 at his home court to make it to the second round of the playoffs and become the second team to sweep the opponent.131 points, also this season playoffs so far the highest score. The pelican's attack is so strong! Of course, it also has a lot to do with the Blazers' defense.

Davis won the first World Cup in this game! He had 47 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks. One of them set a new personal playoff scoring record, and broke David West's 38 point team history record. Of course, the victory belongs to the pelican as a whole. Davis is just one of the brightest.

What makes ANLO most concerned is hollerty. As the brother of his good brother at UCLA, ANLO is familiar with this guy. Good defense, good scoring. This game, he scored 41 points! He also sent eight assists, which is really the sea god needle of pelican's outside line. There was Rondo, of course, who played 38 minutes, giving up 7 points, 7 rebounds and 17 assists. It can be said that focusing on the organization's guidance is the most important engine of the pelican.
