More importantly, the situation was completely suppressed, and there was no confidence in talking trash.
At the end of the first half, Gan Guoyang scored 22 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, including 6 offensive rebounds.
The score was 41:66, with the Trail Blazers leading the Supersonics by 25 points. Seattle was completely blown out in the first half.
During halftime in the locker room, the entire Supersonics team was in a daze.
The big wins in the third and fourth games seemed like a dream.
They completely forgot how they won the games, how exactly did they win?
But that's the NBA playoffs for you; between the two games, teams can often appear completely different.
Playing full of vigor in the last game, yet in a different time and place, they become listless.
This has a lot to do with the tactical changes of the coach and the players' state transition.
After all, the Trail Blazers are six-time champions, and their championship aura isn't so easily dispelled.
