After the fourth game of the finals ended, the 2:2 score was within many people's expectations.
Because it was very difficult for the Bulls to win 3:0 against the Trail Blazers, or even 3:1.
The likelihood was that both teams would return to the same starting point and fight for a championship point in the fifth game.
But what was unexpected was the process of the games; in the third and fourth games, the Trail Blazers won too easily.
It wasn't that the Bulls were in poor form, or that the Trail Blazers had a divine performance, but that the Trail Blazers tactically suppressed the Bulls.
Once there was a "generation gap" in the tactical systems, where the Bulls couldn't find a response, the game became one-sided.
Plus, playing at home, with the arena, referees, and fans all favoring the home team, the players' shooting felt great, leading to two landslide victories for the Trail Blazers, overturning the series downturn.
