Chapter 1065 1065. Against Kobe, the peak Western Conference Finals!
On May 2009, 5, at 25:7 p.m., the Rose Garden Arena in Portland, the Lakers and Trail Blazers entered the stadium successively.

Kobe, who was the first to enter the court, looked at this familiar arena. He has been in the NBA for 13 years, and it is his 12th time to play in the playoffs. This is his 10th time to play against the Trail Blazers.

The Lakers did not make the playoffs in 05. Except for that year, the Lakers fell in the second round of the 99 season and failed to join the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference Finals. Then in 03, the Trail Blazers were eliminated in the first round. , failed to continue the matchup with the Lakers.

In the early years, the Lakers have always been winners. In 97, 98, 00, 01, 02, and 04, Kobe faced the Trail Blazers in the playoffs and won the series 6 times in a row.

But since 06, the situation has changed. The Trail Blazers won the Lakers twice in a row!
Finally, last season Kobe turned the Trail Blazers back again.

The current fighting situation is 7 wins and 2 losses, and he wants to continue to expand the advantage!

Looking at the warden who ran out first, Kobe knew that this guy was the most difficult to deal with.

27 years old, at the peak of his spring and autumn, in full swing... Kobe, who will turn 31 in the summer, felt intense pressure.

He must win the fourth championship earlier than this guy!
Otherwise, he believed, this murderer would definitely wear 4 championship rings when he went to his house for dinner!

After the entrance ceremony, even the pre-match greetings were omitted this time. The two teams didn't have the time to be courteous. Now they can't wait to fuck each other to death.

From the perspective of domestic fans, this is a normal situation. Even if there are 3 Chinese players on both sides, this is the Western Conference Finals. The remaining opponents are the final 4 championship candidates. There is still a fart at this time' Friendship first'.

It is more important to seize the time to check for leaks and fill in vacancies.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and the game was about to start. The two assistant coaches informed the two teams to start.

Liu Xiu copied the talents of Ray Allen and Kobe Bryant, 'Splash' was bound to Ray Allen, 'Sharp Shooter' was activated, came to the field, and the task was triggered!

"The host entered the Western Conference finals for the 4th time. Before that, he had never tasted a defeat. The next opponent is Kobe Bryant, who is known as the 'King of the Western Conference finals'. Go beyond him... The superstar series of tasks in troubled times : The king of the division finals triggers."

"King of the Divisional Finals:
Goal: Defeat the Lakers and win the conference finals.

Reward: King of the Regional Finals (Buff). "

"King of the division finals (Buff): 1. When the host leads the team to the division finals, regardless of the record, regardless of the strengths and weaknesses of the opponents in the regular season, the host's strong self-confidence will infect the teammates, greatly reducing Negative emotions brought about by various factors on and off the court (depending on the psychological quality of teammates); 2. The opponent will encounter psychological pressure due to the confrontation with the host, depending on the psychological quality of the opponent’s star, the weaker the psychological quality, the stronger the effect.”

The tasks for this year's three-round series in the Western Conference, the rewards are more ruthless than the other!

Liu Xiu feels that he still has to fight against super teams and superstars!
...

Trail Blazers starters: Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Hill, Randolph, Kwame Brown.

Lakers starting: Deron, Bryant, Ariza, David - West, Wang Zhizhi.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, in the extremely noisy atmosphere of the Rose Garden Arena, Kwame Brown beat Wang Zhizhi once to win the jump ball, and the Western Conference Finals began!

The Trail Blazers took the lead in launching a fierce attack, beating the Lakers 16 to 13 in the first half, leading by 3 points and entering the official timeout.

After the official timeout, the Lakers changed colors and scored 19 to 13, overtaking the Trail Blazers 32 to 29 and entering the intermission.

Liu Xiu made 4 of 2 shots in the first quarter and didn't take a three-pointer. He just made seven three-pointers in a single game a few days ago, but he was defended tonight, but he made 7 of 5 free throws and scored 5 points in a single quarter.

而湖人队那边，科比后半节狂轰10分，单节10投7中、其中三分球2中1，拿到15分。

Although he was behind in the first quarter, Liu Xiu felt that it was not as difficult as the second round!
It's not that I think the Mavericks are definitely better than the Lakers. Now that the Mavericks don't have a good center and shooting guard, they may not be as good as the Lakers.

Even if the Silver Horn King is as strong as a god in a normal state, the Mavericks team may not be as strong as the Lakers team in front of them.

But Liu Xiu feels that his team's offensive cooperation is even better!
Only pressure can bring motivation. The overall defense of the Mavericks is much better than that of the Lakers. With the defense of the Mavericks in 7 bloody games, the Blazers' tactical coordination has become better!
In the second quarter, Kobe died down and failed to perform as crazy as in the first quarter. The overall offense of the Lakers also returned to normal in the Blazers' highly continuous defense, scoring 25 points in a single quarter.

On the contrary, the Blazers' offensive performance went one step further, giving the Lakers 32 points in a single quarter!
61 to 57, the Trail Blazers overtook the Lakers by 4 points and entered the intermission!
In the third quarter, Kobe led the Lakers to 10 points with 27 points in a single quarter, but the Trail Blazers had already shot. Liu Xiu made 8 of 5 shots, including 4 of 3 three-pointers and 3 of 3 free throws. , scored 16 points in a single quarter, leading the Trail Blazers to score 32 points in a single quarter again!
93 to 84, the Trail Blazers lead extended to 9 points!
In the final quarter, Liu Xiu and Kobe both encountered strict defense, and both scored only 4 points. The offense of the two teams failed to surge, and both scored only 25 points.

科比24投13中，其中三分球8中3，外加9中9的罚球，拿到38分9板3助攻1抢断1盖帽；德隆18分5板11助攻；大卫-韦斯特23分9板2助攻；王治郅12分6板、奥多姆12分7板2助攻……

刘秀25投14中，其中三分球9中5，外加10中9的罚球，狂飙42分11板4助攻；希尔拿到17分6板11助攻；兰多夫20分9板；雷-阿伦19分3助攻……

118 to 109, the Trail Blazers steadily defeated the Lakers and won the first game of the Western Conference Finals!

Liu Xiu won the 15th time in his career with 40+ points in a single playoff game. Facing the Lakers, he surpassed the 14 times of Lakers star Elgin Baylor and ranked third in the number of 40+ times in a single playoff game!

...

On the 26th, a rest day, early in the morning, the vice president brought the coaching staff to Liu Xiu's house to have a meal and discuss last night's game.

They played a beautiful offensive game against the Lakers last night. They watched the video clips and it was much better than the second round game.

The second round of their Western Conference two-group series is not bad to watch, but it mainly focuses on the star matchup, that is, "partially" good-looking.

The Trail Blazers, the Mavericks, the Lakers, and the Spurs all made full defensive preparations before the start of the series. The offense of the four teams was restricted, and they were all fighting for stars in the end.

Watching the game, the gorgeous team's offensive and defensive battles are more enjoyable than fighting for stars.

This is what the Spurs fans rely on.

The troika has performed very well since 05, but at that time they were not liked by fans except Duncan. Now they played a team offense and their overall style is good-looking, so they began to be sought after by fans.

In the Western Conference Finals, the Trail Blazers did no less defensive preparation than before the start of the second round, and they could feel that the Lakers' defensive preparation was also more adequate than that of the Mavericks.

But they didn't guard against each other!
So far in the playoffs, the combination of Kobe's personal scoring ability and team offense, and Liu Xiu's combination of personal scoring ability and team offense have reached the best!The two teams have also entered the 'best condition' because of the state of their star players.

After the meeting, Liu Xiu and the coaches came to the same conclusion - it is impossible to predict the direction of the next game.

It can only rely on the control of rhythm, rotation and tactical adaptation, and the grasp of key balls!

To be more specific-just do it, there is no other way but to fight in actual combat.

On the 27th, the second game day of the Western Conference Finals arrived, and the Eastern Conference Finals also started this afternoon.

Liu Xiu didn't read the analysis of media experts, didn't go surfing the Internet to watch, but asked the staff to help pay attention.

At 6:55 in the evening, the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals ended. The staff informed Liu Xiu that the Pistons lost 106 to 108. Yao Ming missed the final mid-range shot and failed to drag into overtime.

姚明这场比赛30投20中，外加10中9的罚球，拿到49分14板1助攻3盖帽。

But it is a pity that the Pistons still lost by two points and failed to grab the home court advantage in the first game of the three consecutive rounds of the series.

Liu Xiu looked at the data and felt it was a pity. Yao Ming scored that goal. Not only is he expected to win the overtime game, but he can also get 50+ points in a single game in the playoffs!

But almost is almost almost, it seems that there is only 1 point, but it is actually an insurmountable gap.

However, this has surpassed O'Neal's 46 points and has become the highest score in a single playoff game by an active center.

For the Raptors, Artest had 30 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, Milicic had 15 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists, and Calderon had 22 points and 14 assists. The three performed extremely well, except for Milicic who faced Yao Ming. Lost in the confrontation, other positions, the Raptors have a considerable advantage.

Encountering a steady point guard, Billups entered the low-opening mode again. In the first game, he made 13 of 4 shots, including 10 of 3 three-pointers, and only scored 11 points, 1 rebound and 6 assists.

As long as he throws so many three-pointers and then scores one, Yao Ming will not be allowed to join the empty-cut group.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers ushered in the second game of the Western Conference Finals against the Lakers at home.

The Lakers streamlined the number of players playing tonight, except for Deron, Kobe, Ariza, David West, Wang Zhizhi starting, Fisher, Vujacic, Luke Walton, Odom came off the bench .

After streamlining the lineup, the Lakers' offensive efficiency has become more efficient, but the problem has also followed-less changes.

科比在进攻端受益最大，26投15中，其中三分球11中6，外加3中2的罚球，拿到38分7板3助攻。

Deron also scored 15 points and 13 assists.

但大卫-韦斯特只拿到13分、王治郅12分、奥多姆9分、费舍尔15分……全队只拿到106分。

106 points is definitely not low in the playoffs, but the Trail Blazers scored 115 points...

刘秀14投7中，拿到20分8板8助攻，希尔拿到15分8助攻，雷-阿伦19分、兰多夫11分11板、夸梅-布朗5分8板3助攻、法外狂徒14分、迪奥11分5助攻、科沃尔10分……

115 to 106, the Trail Blazers played 11 players, and all 11 players scored. They beat the Lakers again and scored 2-0!

A victory for a very nice team!

After discovering that the substitutes felt hot tonight, Liu Xiu, Hill, and Kwame Brown all actively passed the ball to the substitute teammates, and the teammates lived up to their hopes!

After the first two games, the home and away games alternated. On the second afternoon, Liu Xiu and the team left Portland and came to Angel City with a big score of 2-0.

On May 5, the Trail Blazers came to the Staples Center for an away game against the Lakers in the third game of the series.

Tonight the Lakers played very hard, very hard, and performed very well!
Kobe... scored 3 points for the 38rd consecutive game!
23投13中，其中三分球6中3，外加9中9的罚球，科比拿到38分5板5助攻1抢断1盖帽。

不过他只是湖人队得分的基石，德隆拿到14分8助攻，大卫-韦斯特拿到10分7板3助攻。

Those two people played a key role - Wang Zhizhi and Odom!

王治郅今晚10投8中，其中三分球4中4，单场拿到20分4板4助攻1盖帽。

奥多姆9投6中，外加7中7的罚球，拿到19分19板5助攻2抢断1盖帽，单场10次进攻篮板球！

湖人队狂轰128分，大胜拿到107分的开拓者队21分，拒绝0比3！

刘秀23投14中，其中三分球11中4，外加10中8的罚球，拿到40分7板5助攻4抢断1盖帽，他的表现么什么问题，队友们表现也没什么问题。

It's just that the guys on the opposite side were too accurate, and the fight was too fierce and effective, which caused them to lose several counter-attack points, and their score was only 10 points lower than the previous two games.

April 6st, a new month has arrived.

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

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the game started.

This time, both teams had problems with their offense in the first quarter. They only scored 20 to 21. The Trail Blazers trailed the Lakers by 1 point.

Both teams are actively adjusting and want to get out of the quagmire earlier, but the adjustment speed of the two teams is similar. The Trail Blazers only scored 11 points in the first half of the second quarter, but scored 17 points in the second half, 28 points in a single quarter , The Lakers scored 10 points in the first half and 19 points in the second half.

After halftime, the Lakers took a two-point lead 50 to 48!

But the leading Lakers, there was a little problem at halftime-Odom said during the break, 'If we win tonight, we have to play Game 6 with the Warden?It's scary. '

Odom played very coquettishly in the first half. He played 13 minutes in the half, scored 8 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was the most efficient player of the Lakers in the first half.

结果到了第三节，奥多姆单节4投0中，靠着罚球拿到1分，外加1分2板1助攻3失误！

Odom led the collapse of the Lakers in the third quarter. He played so well in the first half, but suddenly collapsed in the third quarter, and his teammates couldn't react at all.

Even the Zen master was caught off guard by Odom.

另一边，开拓者队抓住了机会！单节打出了26比18的比分，三节打完时以74比68反超湖人队6分！
末节禅师就没让奥多姆打了，科比拿到12分、德隆7分4助攻、大卫-韦斯特5分、王治郅4分、费舍尔和阿里扎各三分……湖人队单节拿到34分！
However, on the other side, Liu Xiu scored 7 points, Randolph and Ray Allen both scored 8 points, the outlaws scored 5 points, Kwame Brown scored 4 points, Dior scored 2 points and 2 assists, and Korver scored 3 points. point……

In order to soar points in the final quarter, the Lakers let these five players who performed well on offense tonight play too long. The continuity of the offensive end is enough, but the defensive end cannot guarantee the basic defense.

Although it seems that the defense is not doing well in the Western Conference Finals twice, it just looks bad. Without the basic defensive effect they worked hard to maintain, the score would have taken off early.

The Trail Blazers seized the opportunity and scored 37 points in the final quarter!
刘秀25投12中，其中三分球7中3，外加10中10的罚球，拿到37分12板7助攻2抢断1盖帽。

力压31投15中、其中三分球5中2，外加9中6的罚球拿到38分10板3助攻1抢断1盖帽的科比。

The Trail Blazers defeated the Lakers 111 to 103 in an away game, with a big score of 3 to 1, and the Western Conference Finals came to the match point!
