With the Trail Blazers losing to the Thunder again away, the Thunder has already rewritten the total score of this round of series to 2:0.

Although this series is far from over, in the view of some senior industry experts, it is only a matter of time before the end of this series.

Because in the previous two games, Trail Blazers head coach McMillan can be said to have tried every possible way to think of.

Whether it is the main defense inside line, the main defense outside line, or the speed to repair the defense.

McMillan has tried to use the joint defense tactics that the Trail Blazers themselves are the least good at.

But in the end, the Thunder were always able to use different methods to complete the damage, and when Marcus Camby was at a disadvantage without any suspense, this even limits McMillan's defensive position that can be adjusted.

So in the eyes of many fans, although the next two games will be played in Portland, it is really only a matter of time before the Thunder advances to the Western Conference semi-finals.

…………

In the next two games, although the game was brought back to Portland by the Trail Blazers, under the absolute strength gap, the Trail Blazers played very difficult in every game.

Trail Blazers head coach McMillan has always been known for being as stable as an old dog in the league, but in these two games, McMillan has obviously tried his best.

But no matter how the Trail Blazers make trouble, they will eventually be unable to escape the thunderous Five Finger Mountain.

With the Trail Blazers losing to the Thunder again at an 11-point disadvantage in the first round of G4, the Thunder rewrites the total score of this round of series to 4:0, sweeping the Trail Blazers into the semi-final smoothly.

"The Trail Blazers are a very talented team, and they have some very good players in this team."

"At the same time they also have an excellent coach. Yes, Mike is a very good coach, but he just lacks some luck."

"I believe that the Trail Blazers will definitely get better and better in the future. As for the player Greg, first of all, I sympathize with his experience, but this is the case with competitive sports. No one can predict what will happen in the future."

"But I still hope he can recover as soon as possible and strive to realize his potential."

At the post-match press conference, when asked by reporters about the Trail Blazers and Greg Oden, Yang Fan replied.

For Yang Fan, he has led the team to win this round of the series and successfully entered the Western Conference semi-finals, so there is no need to kill them again in an interview.

At least how Marcus Camby performed in this round of the series, Yang Fan will let the fans reveal this answer.

When the reporter asked him such questions, Yang Fan would just smile. After all, some things are like mirrors in their hearts.

…………

As the Thunder swept the Trail Blazers 4:0 to enter the Western Conference semi-finals, the Thunder only needs to wait for the Nuggets and Jazz to finish this round of series.

At that time, the winner between the two teams will be the Thunder's opponent in the Western Conference semi-finals.

In this round of the series, the Jazz is currently leading the Nuggets 3:1, so from a high probability, the Thunder's opponent in the next round is likely to be the Jazz.

This is not good news for the Thunder, after all, the Jazz's lineup is very strong.

Even Yang Fan, who has been a man for two lives, has to sigh at the luxurious lineup of this Jazz team.

Fortunately, not all of the Jazz players are at their peak at present, otherwise Yang Fan would really doubt whether the Jazz management has traveled back from the future like him.

This season, the Jazz have Deron Williams, Boozer, Kirirenko, Oku, Millsap, Matthews, Korver, Miles, and "company commander" Brewer.

This lineup suddenly looked like it was "rich" and inhumane!!

In fact, this is true. The Jazz have triggered the luxury tax this season, and it has exceeded the luxury tax bottom line by $13 million.

You know, $13 million is a very terrifying expense at this time.

What's more, the Jazz's boss is a well-known small business in the league, so this situation should not have happened to the Jazz.

But the key is that the cause of this matter still needs to be discussed in the "reverse boy" Boozer.

Since this year is the last year of Boozer's contract, Boozer decided to jump out of the contract and try the free market during last year's regular season.

You know, Boozer's last year's salary for contract was as high as $12.7 million, so as long as Boozer tests the free market, the Jazz's salary space is just enough.

As a result, last summer, Boozer suddenly repented and directly executed the player option for the last year of his contract.

In this way, the Jazz had to bear his salary of up to $12.7 million a year.

The most important thing is that Boozer suddenly repents the decision that he made after the Jazz had renewed Millsap for four years and $3,200.

In addition, Korver and Oku, who were also in their final year, also implemented the player option at the same time, so in this case the Jazz triggered the league's luxury tax.

In the Jazz's normal team building plan, Boozer should have jumped out of the contract and entered the free market this summer.

Then the team renewed Millsap through a long-term contract, allowing him to replace Boozer. In this way, the Jazz's championship framework still exists, just changing Boozer to Millsap.

The key is that the team will never trigger luxury taxes, and they are completely in a tight position in terms of salary space.

As a result, with Boozer finally disrupting the situation, the Jazz was directly cheated. Not only did they have to pay huge luxury taxes in the new season, but they also smashed Boozer into their hands. It was of no value to trade it out.

Because Boozer's contract has only the last year left, and during this offseason, he did something like this, and in the league, who doesn't know that Boozer is a famous anti-bone boy.

So with the last year left in the contract, no team is willing to trade with the same chips.

After all, the final result is likely to be in vain, because the player Boozer is not worth believing.

This result also leads to the Jazz this season that must strive for the championship, otherwise the team's profit will basically be like a small fight this year.

Or maybe the team boss just works for the players, but he has been lonely all season long.

Fortunately, the Jazz's record this season is quite good, and they have always retained the hope of winning the championship, which has made Jazz owner Larry Miller barely suffer the bitter fruit.

Otherwise, if the Jazz were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, then I believe Larry Miller would definitely carry a hoe and throw the Boozer family's ancestral grave overnight...
