The Blazers' offensive performance was still very good, but not as violent as the first quarter. They scored 30 points in the second quarter and led the Lakers by two points 66 to 64 at halftime.

After returning from the intermission, the two teams continued to attack. The Blazers maintained their offensive stability and scored 32 points in the third quarter, but the Lakers also maintained their offensive stability and scored 37 points again in the third quarter.

130 to 123, the Lakers defended their first home court.

...

After the first game, both sides were clear about the opponent's style of play, and they were relieved that the opponent did not undergo the unexpected changes like the Suns did.

Then soar!
After a day off, the Trail Blazers once again came to the Staples Center to challenge the Lakers.

125 to 118, the Lakers held two consecutive home games, leading the Trail Blazers 2-0!

...

After G2, the two teams rested for two days and made two days of adjustments. The home and away games alternated. The Trail Blazers returned to their home court to usher in the third game of the series against the Lakers.

Before the game, the Trail Blazers held the regular season MVP awards ceremony, and Liu Xiu lifted the MVP trophy to boost morale.

The effect was very good. After the start of the game, the Trail Blazers took the initiative in the first quarter. Liu Xiu made 6 of 3 shots in the first quarter, including 3 of 1 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 11 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. , Leading the Blazers to lead the Lakers by 33 points 28 to 5 in the first quarter.

中场休息过后，刘秀在第三节8投5中、外加2中2的罚球拿到11分、兰多夫拿到11分4板，两人携手带队单节拿到28分。

In this quarter, except for Liu Xiu and Randolph who played full games, the others rotated quickly. Ray Allen, Outlaw Outlaws, Millsap, McDyess, Kwame Brown, Birdman...who played defensively? Whoever is stable will go up, preventing the Lakers from only scoring 23 points!
The Lakers narrowed the two-point difference in the second quarter, and the Trail Blazers opened up by 5 points in the third quarter!
After three quarters, the Trail Blazers led the Lakers by 90 points 82 to 5!

刘秀全场34投18中，其中三分球9中4，加上13中11的罚球，拿到51分11板6助攻2抢断。

加上兰多夫的28分、雷-阿伦的11分、夸梅-布朗的8分14板，开拓者队以114比107险胜湖人队，将大比分扳成1比2！

...

One day later, the Lakers once again came to the Rose Garden Arena to challenge the Trail Blazers away.

The Blazers once again tried to change the tempo against the Lakers, as they did in the second half of the previous game, but this time the Lakers were prepared.

开拓者队周结压节奏打成功率，刘秀首节6月4中，外加3中3的罚球拿到11分，率队单节拿到28分。

湖人队那边，科比7投4中、其中三分球1中1，外加2中2的罚球，也拿到了11分，德隆单节8分3助攻，两人携手带队单节拿到26分！
If Ray Allen hadn't exploded in the first quarter and scored two three-pointers at the end of the quarter, the Lakers would have taken the lead in the slow-paced battle!

In the second quarter, the Lakers really took advantage, scoring 22 to 20 in a single quarter, and tied the Trail Blazers 48 to 48 at halftime!

Back from the intermission, the Lakers beat the Trail Blazers hard in the third quarter, 22 to 15 in a single quarter, and achieved a 7-point lead!

At the end of the quarter, the Trail Blazers set off a counterattack, scored 28 points in a single quarter, stopped pressing the rhythm, and easily broke through the Lakers' defense.

But the Lakers' Zen master responded quickly. Kobe scored 10 points in a single quarter, Deron scored 3 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, and David West scored 7 points in a single quarter. Score one more point!
科比打了47分钟拿到32分9板3助攻、德隆打了37分钟拿到24分4板12助攻、大卫-韦斯特14分、奥多姆12分、王治郅6分6板1助攻……力压31投13中、其中三分球8中3、罚球19中16拿到45分9板6助攻2抢断的刘秀。

99 to 91, the Lakers beat the Trail Blazers away, leading 3 to 1!

...

The home and away games alternated again. After two days of preparations, the Trail Blazers, who were on the verge of elimination 1 to 3, came to Angel City to challenge the Lakers away.

Liu Xiu thought about it, so he didn't care about 21, [-], just rush!Just attack!

In the first quarter, he scored 11 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, got 2 assists, plus 1 steal and 1 block, leading the team to a score of 38 to 22!
看着雷-阿伦9分、布雷克6分6助攻、科沃尔5分、法外狂徒3分1板3抢断……背水一战的开拓者队众将让科比和德隆惊得鼻孔都张大了。

Is it so exaggerated?

In the second quarter, Kobe and Deron adjusted their mentality and led the team to attack.

The effect was good. The Lakers scored 29 points in the second quarter and successfully limited the Trail Blazers to 27 points.

51 to 65, the Lakers are still 14 points behind, but they believed that they had taken the initiative at halftime, and they just played a leading quarter.

而且第二节开拓者队能拿到27分，是靠着刘秀单节11投6中拿到14分4板。

then……

法外狂徒第三节5投3中拿到7分2板……4抢断1盖帽！

The Trail Blazers are racing again!

刘秀6投4中，其中三分球1中1，加上4中4的罚球，拿到13分4板，加上兰多夫的9分、雷-阿伦的4分……

The Trail Blazers scored 4 points in a single quarter with 33 players, and defended the Lakers to only 18 points in a single quarter!
98 to 69, the Trail Blazers lead the Lakers by 29 points!
The Trail Blazers on the verge of elimination broke out. Zen Master meant to give up tonight, but Kobe and the chubby who was infected by Kobe said no!
Zen master Mo Fa, the second boss worships the boss too much, it is really not conducive to coaching, he is going to find a time to give eye drops to one of the two... let the two continue to fight in the final quarter.

The opponent sent the main force in the garbage time, and the Trail Blazers naturally had to implement the principle of reciprocity, and Liu Xiu continued to play.

当刘秀6投2中外加4中4的罚球拿到8分后，莫里斯-奇克斯将其换下。

The Lakers failed to substantially narrow the point difference.

The extrajudicial lunatics played the last quarter, and finally increased the number of rebounds to 10 dangerously.

At 10:58 p.m., the final whistle blew.

32投17中，其中三分球11中5，外加12中11的罚球，拿到50分18板5助攻3抢断1盖帽。

加上兰多夫的23分、雷-阿伦的25分、法外狂徒11分10板11抢断3盖帽……

122 to 97, relying on the crazy triple-double of Iverson's single-game steal record in the playoffs, the Trail Blazers slaughtered the Lakers and tied the big score to 2 to 3!

...

The Trail Blazers returned home and ushered in Game 6 of the series against the Lakers at the Rose Garden Arena.

刘秀进攻端继续狂飙，全场29投16中，其中三分球9中4，加上12中11的罚球，拿到47分10板7助攻。

法外狂徒防守端也依旧玩儿命，打了25分钟，拿到8分3板1助攻4抢断1盖帽……以及6次犯规，第三节打了没多久就犯满被罚下。

In the last game, the extrajudicial fanatics rushed wildly, which really caught the Lakers by surprise.

Not only did the Lakers make as many as 19 turnovers, but it also affected the passing confidence of the Lakers players. The Lakers only had 15 assists the night before.

But tonight the Lakers are already prepared. Deron alone relied on pass fakes to trick the extrajudicial lunatic into two fouls.

Liu Xiu attacked fiercely, and the Lakers were even fiercer!
首节湖人队32比28领先、第二节湖人队33比29继续领先、第三节湖人队33比28持续领先，末节刘秀拿到14分，开拓者队全队才22分……湖人队末节依旧领先单节拿到29分！
科比31分9板6助攻、德隆29分8板11助攻、奥多姆13分6板6助攻、大卫-韦斯特14分8板、王治郅10分6板2助攻、费舍尔11分、阿里扎10分……

湖人队7人得分上双，以127比107击败开拓者队，4比2晋级西决！

...

After the final whistle sounded, Liu Xiu received a reminder of the 250 healing value reward, feeling irritable and angry.

But the cheers and boos of the fans at the scene gradually turned into applause, which gradually calmed down his emotions.

Everyone is not used to it. This is the second time they have lost a series since Liu Xiu joined.

But there is really no way, they can survive until now, relying on Randolph averaging 24.5 points per game, Liu Xiu averaging 44.5 points per game...

After the first round, I rested for a week. It seemed very good, and there were really many benefits.

But the role of the Lakers' rest is greater than that of their Trail Blazers!
On their side, many players have been affected by resting for too long. For example, Ray Allen, who performed very well in the first round, did not perform well in the first few games of the second round.

This has to do with Ray Allen's complete role-player adjustments. As a result, he has become more team-oriented, and it is easier for him to cooperate with any teammates and find a tacit understanding. If you use other abilities to make contributions like you did in [-], you will gain and lose.

McDyess, Kwame Brown and others were also affected.

Reed was stumped when he met Kobe, and he couldn't help but Kobe restrained him to death on the offensive end.

In the end, Randolph was the best performing teammate!

Salted fish for a whole year, when it was time for Randolph to stand up, he averaged 24.5 points per game, the highest scoring average of his career in a series, when Liu Xiu needed him the most, he played the best Peak performance.

But the performance of others is indeed the worst in 4 or even 5 years...

Of course, the main reason is that the Lakers are really strong!
Thinking wildly, teammates gathered around him one after another, some talked, some patted him...

He withdrew his attention, looked at the teammates around him, and listened to the "Come on", "Thanks for your hard work", "See you next year" all around the stadium... Liu Xiu was surprised to find that the Rose Bay Devil's home court had become extraordinarily special at this moment. The... warm?
Not too many people seemed to be grumpy because they were out in the second round, as if someone was crying, but most people were cheering them on!
When he is winning all the time, the fans are united around him, which does not give him a sense of belonging.

That's just because he's winning!

In the world of competitive sports, as long as you keep winning, there will always be flowers and applause.

What about after losing?Even the invincible teams such as the OK combination and Universe Yong sometimes have their fans abandon them.

But what he's feeling now is not as bad as he imagined when the final whistle sounded.

At this moment, he really felt a sense of belonging...

The post-match interview came, and the reporter from the imperial court asked very cautious questions. They asked Liu Xiu how to sum up their season and dynasty, and what advice he had for Yao Ming, who defeated the Bulls 3-4 to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals three hours ago...

Liu Xiu only answered with one word: "Beat-LA!"
