Chapter 1066 1066. Darkness Returns!

The Western Conference finals came to the match point, and the evaluation of this series was very high!

Nelson said in an interview: "This is the highest level of competition, smooth, intense, with both strength and fun."

Pat Riley also praised the performance of the two teams: "No team is their opponent. Only when the Lakers and the Trail Blazers play against each other can we see such an enjoyable game. When other teams meet them, You will really understand how strong they are, you can't guard them, and it's difficult to score high on them."

The fans commented on the evaluations of these two famous coaches-the mad scientist simply appreciates the game, and the magic operator wants to annoy the strong teams in the East, which is a stumbling block for the two teams in the West.

Liu Xiu didn't watch the news, but talked about this matter while chatting with Anne Hathaway.

He felt that there was nothing wrong with the fans' evaluation of the mad scientist, but on the side of the magic operator, he felt that this oily guy was definitely hinting something to the young stars in the East.

Not to mention how many stars there are in these two teams in the Western Conference Finals, the two teams in the Eastern Conference Finals are also composed of the strongest players from multiple teams. The Pistons were built in such a way as to overdraw the future, but now it seems that these four teams have many stars.

Liu Xiu reckoned that the magic operator might have already started planning something when their brothers in the 03 class renewed their contracts for three years.

After two days of rest, the home and away games alternated. On June 6, the Trail Blazers ushered in the fifth game of the series against the Lakers at the Rose Garden Arena.

1比3落后的湖人队，在首节爆发出巨大的能量，德隆拿到3分5助攻，帮助科比7投5中拿到14分、王治郅和大卫-韦斯特也各拿到6分。

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Trail Blazers by 31 points 23 to 8!
The big score looks very different, but the strength gap between the two teams is not that big.

The Trail Blazers also repeatedly emphasized in the preparation meeting that the Lakers have the ability to reverse them like they reversed the Mavericks.

As the one who has completed a major reversal, the Trail Blazers are well aware of the strength that the Lakers may explode when they are behind 1 to 3. When it comes to similar situations, the Trail Blazers are much better psychologically.

In the second quarter, the Lakers made great strides, scoring 34 points in a single quarter, while the Trail Blazers bucked the trend. Zach Randolph and Liu Xiu scored 14 points together, driving the team to 31 points with one inside and one outside.

54 to 65, the Trail Blazers worked hard to bite the score, and did not let the point difference widen to the point of despair.

Finally, after returning from the intermission, Liu Xiu and Ray Allen fired!

Liu Xiu scored 10 points in a single quarter and scored two three-pointers. Ray Allen scored 9 points and made 5 of 3 three-pointers in a single quarter.
Under the leadership of the two, the teammates continued to eat cakes in the interior, scoring 17 points, and the team scored 36 points in a single quarter.

The Lakers performed mediocre in this quarter, scoring only 26 points.

The Trail Blazers chased a full 10 points in a single quarter, and at the end of the three quarters, they chased the point difference to only 1 point, and the score came to 90 to 91!

At the end of the quarter, Kobe came up with a steal and countered with a one-handed dunk.

Ray Allen of the same class immediately responded with a catch and turned three-pointer. The Trail Blazers tied the Lakers 93 to 93!
When it came time for the Lakers to attack, Kobe faced Hill's defense and hit a three-pointer with a fallback. The offense and defense switched, and Ray Allen turned around to catch the ball and hit a three-pointer again!

It was the Lakers' turn to attack again, and Kobe's fury at the start of the final quarter continued. He broke through in singles at the top of the arc, turned left to avoid Kwame Brown's supplementary defense, and came off the line. Foul, and the shot was made!

Kobe Bryant scored 8 points in a row!
But immediately Liu Xiu took a three-pointer to change color, Ray Allen hit the second three-pointer, and Liu Xiu's "splash" started!
After scoring 8 points in a row, Kobe successfully attracted most of the defensive attention. In the next 10 minutes or so, he scored another 10 points.

加上德隆5分3助攻、奥多姆2分、阿里扎5分、王治郅2分……打到末节11分48秒，科比长两分命中后，湖人队单节得分来到了32分！
But now the score is 123 to 127, and the Lakers are 4 points behind the Trail Blazers!
Kobe made 11 of 7 shots in the final quarter, including 6 of 4 three-pointers. Without free throws, he scored 18 points in a single quarter.

For the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu made 10 of 6 shots, including 3 of 2 three-pointers and 5 of 4 free throws. He also scored 18 points in a single quarter!
And in addition to him, Ray Allen scored 9 points, and other teammates scored 10 points in total, 37 points in a single quarter!
When it was the Blazers' turn to attack, the Lakers did not give up. As soon as the Blazers sent the ball to Liu Xiu, he was hugged by Deron and sent to the free throw line.

In the last match against Deron, he fouled slowly and was scolded by the boss.

Now all the members of the Lakers hate Howard-because of this product, the regulations issued by the league cannot intentionally foul players without the ball in the last 2 minutes.

It's not okay to pretend that it wasn't intentional, and the referee is not blind.

The Lakers players can only hope that Liu Xiu feels cold and misses two free throws, maybe there is still a chance.

But Liu Xiu made two free throws and scored 20 points in a single quarter!
The Trail Blazers scored 39 points in a single quarter, leading the Lakers by 129 points 123-6!
The Lakers didn't call a timeout, and sent a long pass directly. Kobe caught the ball in the frontcourt, and threw a long-range three-pointer angrily... He missed, and successfully lowered his shooting percentage to below 50%.

Liu Xiu, who ran back, grabbed the defensive rebound. With a few seconds left, Kobe did not foul, and the fans on the scene began to celebrate!
Soon, the final whistle sounded, and the Trail Blazers gathered together to celebrate their 5th finals in 4 years!
科比今晚37投18中，其中三分球10中6，外加11中10的罚球，单场狂飙52分。

But lost to Liu Xiu with 44 points, Ray Allen with 27 points, and Randolph with 26 points!
刘秀本赛季季后赛第4次单节20+，率队以129比123赢下与湖人队的西决第5战，大比分4比1晋级总决赛！
...

"King of the Divisional Finals:
The host has led the team to defeat the Lakers, won the Western Conference finals, and advanced to the finals. Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: the king of the division finals (Buff). "

Liu Xiu won the Western Conference Championship trophy for the fourth time in his career!

After a brief celebration that night, he was called back by Anne Hathaway to make a baby.

Waking up the next morning, Liu Xiu moved her babbling daughter-in-law, checked the battle report on her mobile phone, and reviewed the just-concluded Western Conference Finals.

The big score of 4 to 1 looks very different, and the gentleman swept.

But whether it is the game process or the overall data, the Lakers are not weaker than the Trail Blazers. As long as you watch the game or the data, you can feel that the two teams are equally strong!

Liu Xiu saw that they averaged 116 points per game, and the Lakers also averaged 113.8 points per game.

They combined to beat the Lakers by 5 points in 11 games.

And in this series, Kobe has the best personal scoring performance, averaging 5 points per game in 40.8 games, the best performance of his career.

The best personal offensive performance is Deron, averaging 14.2 points and 11.6 assists per game.

The best supporting performer was Wang Zhizhi, who averaged 2.6 three-pointers, 10.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game.

However, their Trail Blazers have Randolph, who has the most aggressive inside offense, averaging 21.6 points per game.

There is the best three-pointer Ray Allen, who averaged 25 points per game, scored 3.8 three-pointers per game, and shot 44%.

He is the warden, averaging 36.6 points per game, not much weaker than Kobe, averaging 9 rebounds per game, not much worse than Odom, and 6.6 assists, 2.2 steals and 1 block. He organizes offense and drives defense well.

Relying on the overall performance, the Lakers 'nearly beat' the Lakers 4-1.

That is to say, there is a possibility that one may not perform well, the one with '1' is their Trail Blazers.

King Silver Horn, Great God, it feels really cool to fight against these two!
Liu Xiu put the Western Conference Finals aside and looked at the situation of the next opponent... Last night, the Pistons lost 94 to 99 at home to the Raptors, 1 to 3.

Bulls, Pistons, Magic... Liu Xiu even thought about the Cavaliers passing through the Eastern Conference and reaching the Finals.

He never thought that the Raptors might become the final winner of the Eastern Conference. He thought the Raptors were just a mess.

World peace so fierce?

Looking at the data of the next four games in the Eastern Conference finals, Artest is very fierce, averaging 4 points per game, second only to Yao Ming's 25 points per game.

But the most fierce of the Raptors is Milicic!

场均16.5分13板6.7助攻0.9抢断3.5盖帽。

Although the scoring was limited by Yao Ming, Yao Ming also overwhelmed him on the defensive end. After Yao Ming scored 1 points in G49, he averaged 3 points per game in the next three games.

But Milicic did a good job of restricting the defense of the rest of the Pistons, rebounding protection, and attacking in series.

This performance really deserves to be called the No. [-] center forward!

One-on-one, it is difficult for Milicic to beat Yao Ming, but he is a completely different type of center, starting from defense, developing offense, developing organization offense...

Yao Ming is probably going to win the individual duel and lose the series this time.

If Ben is still there...it's useless. Last season, Ben worked hard for a year and helped the Pistons win the championship.

Even counting the two months with the Pistons this season, after the entire season, the regular season data has dropped to 4.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.2 blocks. The strength of the best defensive team is no longer there, and the effect is only a supplementary defense within the time limit. Defense, defense alone is no longer enough to defend against people. If you play as a substitute, you may be very good, but as the core of the championship, this task is already embarrassing.

时间来到6月7号晚上7点55分，东决第5战打完。

米利西奇拿到30分14板4助攻、阿泰斯特28分8板2助攻，力压25分的姚明、22分7助攻的比卢普斯，猛龙队以103比90大胜活塞队。

With a big score of 4 to 1, the Raptors and Trail Blazers meet in the finals!
...

On the afternoon of June 6, Liu Xiu, who was training for the game, learned that the Raptors had arrived in Portland.

Just finished the Eastern Conference Finals yesterday, and today he ran over non-stop. Liu Xiu thought for a while, and only thought of the word 'anxious' to describe the Raptors.

He thought that at this time in 05, he was also anxious, wishing to play the game immediately, wishing to play 4 games in a row to win back the championship trophy.

But now he is far calmer than before, and he is more aware of the importance of preparing for a series.

For example, against the Lakers in the Western Conference finals, it seems that they failed to defend the Lakers, and the Lakers averaged 113.8 points per game. However, without those basic defenses, they would not be able to catch Odom's distraction in the third quarter of G4, and would not be able to win in the fourth quarter of G5. In the third quarter, the Lakers' crazy offensive efficiency was pulled down.

The season has come to the last moment, and it doesn't seem to make a big difference whether to prepare for the battle or not. They all know their opponents well, but if there is no big gap in strength, then the preparation for the battle is definitely the key to determine the final outcome.

Later, there was gossip news that Raptors head coach Sam Mitchell planned to take a day off, train for a day, and then come to Portland. After the Eastern Conference Finals, there will be a 3-day rest period before the finals on the 11th. , there is plenty of time.

Staying in Toronto, their coaching staff will also have better conditions to think about tactics.

But several main players of the team were anxious to leave quickly, so they changed the flight and arrived two days earlier.

This matter, Liu Xiu just watched the fun and had fun, regardless of whether it would affect the Raptors' preparations, anyway, it would not affect their Trail Blazers.

In the Willamedy Garden Training Center, the Trail Blazers and the visiting Raptors were in full swing, media and fans from all over the world also flocked here, and domestic media and fans accounted for nearly half of them.

Although the final duel between 'The Warden' and 'The King of Bad Boys' failed to be staged again, this final is very important to Chinese fans.

If the warden wins the championship again this year, he will undoubtedly become the 'best active player'!
'No. 3 in active service', this has reached the top as early as when he was the MVP for [-] consecutive years.

At that time, the media used the title of "the best basketball player in the United States" to describe Kobe's participation in the Olympics.

But the "best" is more related to "leading the team to win the championship".

4 consecutive regular season MVPs, 73 wins, these are part of his "best in active service", but to be ahead of the Sharks, who are known as "unmatched in history of dominance", only after the dynasty, there will be another team champion.

From this perspective, domestic fans are a little happy that the Pistons did not make it to the finals, otherwise some fans will always be very entangled.

Of course, it's more of a pity that I couldn't see the confrontation between 'The Warden' and the 'King of Bad Boys' again.

Unlike the Prison team, which was at its peak in spring and autumn, the Bad Boys team was congenitally deficient. In order to get Yao Ming and Carter, the team exhausted the strength of the team for ten years. He has to drag the game to the late stage to reach his best condition. It is foreseeable that the Pistons will continue to collapse in the next few years. They still have the ability to compete for the championship this year, but it will be difficult to say next year.

Of course, it is not guaranteed that Philip Sanders will find a way to better integrate Gooden into the team in the coming year, or the middle class can use it well to sign in... Basketball is also round, and no one knows what changes will happen next, otherwise the Lakers When F4 was formed, the champion was awarded directly, and other teams still operated and worked hard.

The 3-day rest time passed quickly. On June 6, the Trail Blazers ushered in the first game of the finals against the Raptors at the Rose Garden Arena.

At 7:40 p.m., the Raptors entered the court first.

Milicic was the first to run out, still looking like a doormat.

Liu Xiu didn't know how to describe this expression on a big man who weighed two meters and a few meters and weighed 120 kilograms all day long.

But there is a sister-in-law who is taller, has a longer arm span, but is thinner, and is also like a doormat.

Maybe the top centers in Europe are like this.

No wonder the little sister-in-law wants to grow a beard. With a beard, most of her expression is blocked.

A certain bearded man in the darkness in the player tunnel sneezed...

The second runner was Calderon, followed by Anthony Parker, Marion, and Artest.

Liu Xiu initially thought that the long-necked dragon was gone, and the farmer was about to ascend the throne and become the next dragon king.

As a result, the Raptors replaced the boss with Bosh and Ford, and Milicic happily continued to be the second.

Finally, Liu Xiu focused on Hacker until the spotlight on the visiting team went out.

Sean Marion!
This is the guy. At the trade deadline, the Raptors decisively sent Jermaine O'Neal in exchange for Marion.

加入猛龙队后，马里昂常规赛打了27场，场均14分9板2.3助攻1.7抢断1.3盖帽。

季后赛东区的比赛全勤，场均12分8板2助攻1.9抢断1.2盖帽。

On the defensive end, Marion has participated in almost every aspect of the Raptors!
Only then did people realize that they thought Marion was the only one the Suns could defend, and they were completely humiliating this strange-looking man.

This is a super all-around fighter who may not lose to Kirilenko in defense at his peak!
But it's a pity that the current Marion is not as visible to the naked eye as the two-year playoffs in 06 and 07.

He is a physical player, and his defense is still very good, but at the age of 31, he has slipped a lot.

Otherwise, the Raptors get him, and there are Artest and Milicic in the frontcourt. The defense is really invincible, not one of the strongest.

Marion's contract will expire this summer, and there are already many teams working hard. Liu Xiu heard that his agent, Dan Fagan, has called for a long-term contract, and has been warned by both the league and the players union.

Liu Xiu heard from the young apprentice that the team Marion is most likely to join is the Timberwolves, because Dan Fagan is a member of the young apprentice's agent team.

This level of free agents, after their prison team ate up the rookie bonuses of his warden and butcher, outlaw lunatics, parallel importers and others, they can no longer get them, and he can only be jealous.

Then the spotlights at the entrance of the home team's player tunnel came on, and Liu Xiu tidied up his training clothes and led the team into the arena!
The deafening cheers stimulated the hearts of the Raptors players.

The frenzied atmosphere of Rose Bay, especially the Northern Army led by Artest, a tough guy, has also been greatly affected.

The Raptors players looked at the leading warden on the opposite side, and only thought of one adjective-powerful!
The cheers of the fans at the scene are not only crazy worship, but also extremely strong self-confidence!

Lightly abused the 'most talented point guard' classmate Xiaopao, the silver-horned king who reversed the gods and descended to earth, and faced the top gods with force... the Raptors?

This is Rose Bay!The Land of Slaying Dragons!
...

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

Raptors starting: Calderon, Anthony - Parker, Artest, Marion, Milicic.

Liu Xiu copied Ray Allen's full blood 'Quick Shot' and Artest's 'Beast'.

The talent of the beast, now only when strength is dominant, the defensive deterrence is strengthened, and the explosive power has been increased from 89 to 90. The bonus rate is pitifully small, better than nothing.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers played against the Raptors at home.

As analyzed by major media before the game, the Raptors successfully dragged the Trail Blazers into the quagmire of the defensive battle from the very beginning of the game.

首节刘秀拿到4分、雷-阿伦4分、法外狂徒4分、科沃尔3分、德拉季奇3分，全队只拿到18分。

However, the Trail Blazers are also prepared, if they want to knock, what is the purpose of offensive basketball?
Of course, it is to adapt to the rules of the league, follow the development of the NBA, and win better!
But since it is known that the offense cannot be beaten, let's do a good job of defense first.

To win, defend against one, not shabby.

The Trail Blazers only scored 18 points in the first quarter, and the Raptors were even worse, only scoring 17 points!
Then in the second quarter, the time for the slam came!

After two series with the Mavericks and the Lakers, Liu Xiu has entered the best condition, and found a way to attack personally after the first quarter.

As for the team's attack, they haven't found a way yet...then don't look for it, and kill the opponent alone.

The two matches in the regular season have proved that the Raptors can't prevent him. In the two matches, he scored 40 points and 47 points respectively.

Both Artest and Marion are very aggressive defensively, insisting on the top, the fifth position can barely switch defenses, and the two of them at positions 2-4 can conduct sweeping defenses.

But Liu Xiu is the No. [-] position, the No. [-] position with super speed!

刘秀单节10投6中，其中三分球4中3，外加3中3的罚球，拿到18分，率队单节狂轰29分！
Another explosive player in this quarter is the extremely excited Grant Hill!

Although he has been fully present for the past two years, Hill still can't guarantee that he will be able to play next year. He has reached the finals. He has only one thought - to die!
Even if his career ends here, as long as he can wear the championship ring, it's worth it!

希尔单节2分5板1助攻2抢断1盖帽，防得阿泰斯特都要抓狂了。

As the strongest striker in the league, he was actually intercepted twice in a single quarter!
Milicic also got a big hat...

Under the leadership of Hill, the Blazers' defensive performance was also explosive. The Raptors only scored 15 points, which was not as good as the first quarter!
47 to 32, the Trail Blazers lead the Raptors by 15 points at halftime!
In the third quarter, the Raptors fought back, scored 24 points in a single quarter, and defended well, but the Trail Blazers had already opened up the offense by relying on Liu Xiu, scored 22 points in a single quarter, and maintained more than [-] points Difference.

At the end of the quarter, the Raptors fell into a decline on both offense and defense, and it was time for the Trail Blazers.

刘秀9投5中，外加2中2的罚球，单节拿到12分，率队在末节轰了猛龙队一个31比19！

刘秀29投16中，其中三分球8中4，外加7中7的罚球，单场拿到43分8板6助攻2抢断；

希尔8投3中，拿到9分，外加14板4助攻4抢断2盖帽。

The two dominated both offense and defense, leading the Trail Blazers to beat the Raptors 100 to 75, a big score of 1 to 0!

猛龙队表现最好的是米利西奇，12分15板4助攻2抢断2盖帽。

Before the game was over, the performance of the Trail Blazers had shocked everyone.

The happiest thing is that oily head on the south coast...

As he said, during the civil war between the top four in the Western Conference, neither side seemed to have much advantage over each other. Even if they won 4-1 with a big score, the total difference in 5 games may be only 10 points.

But for other teams to play against the Western Conference Finals, the picture will be cruel.

Now, the Raptors feel how cruel that is!

The overall record of the Eastern Conference has already surpassed that of the Western Conference. The total number of games won by the Eastern Conference teams this year is much higher than that of the Western Conference, even surpassing the highest number of wins in the Western Conference at the beginning of the century.

But the top five contenders in the Eastern Conference look unstable against any of the four major contenders in the West.

The only stable bad boy army, just won the championship and then turned from prosperity to decline.

Although the Raptors stand out, it is true that the Bulls are the most likely team in the East to beat the Western Conference semi-finals.

The Raptors' back line is placed in the west, which is not enough to look at. Facing Randolph and Kwame Brown, the Raptors have little advantage inside.

But the Bulls met Yao Ming unluckily. Yao Ming could help Billups hold the situation and let Billups adjust slowly. In the end, the Bulls fell in the second round.

After the first game of the finals, not to mention other players, even the Raptors players, seeing the 25-point difference and Liu Xiu's 43 points in a single game, most of them already felt desperate.

The difference in strength is too great!
...

今年总决赛的赛制依旧是2-3-2，休息时间与前3轮不同，除了第2场与第3场之间有两天休息时间，其他时候都只有1天休息时间，哪怕是第5场与第6场之间主客场易地的时候，也只休息1天。

It was another year in the finals. Both teams complained about the schedule, but Stern still had no plans to change it.

Liu Xiu remembers that Stern will leave this matter to his successor to change, and the successor will have a praised operation.

There are also "13-man rotation" and "15-man roster expansion". As the strength of role players improves, the role of substitutes in the game becomes stronger. For teams such as the Special Forces, 12-man rotation is not enough.

The list of 15 people is not enough.

However, these two reforms were proposed by some teams at the league's end-of-season regular meeting on June 6 last year, but they were rejected.

In the original time and space, when Joke came to power, he passed the three new rules that the teams had applied for for several years but failed to pass. Many people applauded him in the early days of his leadership in the league because of these rules that are extremely important to the teams. .

After a day off, on June 6, the second game of the Finals between the Trail Blazers and the Raptors started on time at the Rose Garden Arena.

Unlike the anxiety in the first quarter of the previous game, this time, the Trail Blazers beat the Raptors 28 to 15 in the first quarter.

The Trail Blazers, which led by 13 points at the start, were not careless. They continued to maintain offensive and defensive output in the second quarter. They had been careless and were almost overturned. They dare not lose the chain at this time.

But the Raptors also have real superstars!

Ron Artest!

阿泰斯特第二节12投7中，其中三分球6中3，外加2中1的罚球，单节拿到18分4板1助攻1抢断，在队友们出手11次只拿到10分的情况下，硬生生带队单节狂轰28分，单节领先拿到25分的开拓者队3分！
43 to 53, the Raptors narrowed the point difference to 10 points!
The tough Artest successfully brought up the bloodiness of his teammates.

Artest at this moment reminded Liu Xiu of the 09 Fire Lake War G6 in the original time and space. Hayes, Scola, Landry three people, his 201 cm player even needs to be forced to top Bynum...

But Artest led the team to a 95-80 victory over the Lakers by relying on defense, dragging the series to the tiebreaker.

Similarly, there is the future Jimmy Butler.

This kind of tough guy, the playoffs, is the stage for them to show their personal charm!

In the third quarter, the Raptors soared!
Calderon made 5 of 4 three-pointers in a single quarter with 12 points and 3 assists under the shots of Artest, Marion, and Milicic.

The Raptors scored 33 points in a single quarter, and the Trail Blazers only scored 23 points.

76 to 76, the Raptors tied the score and entered the final quarter!

But at the end of the quarter, the Trail Blazers broke out!
The Raptors were too aggressive in the second and third quarters, and the Trail Blazers could only resist.

Normally speaking, it is difficult for a team that is struggling to fight back to counterattack. It is already the finals. Although the Raptors are restrained by the Trail Blazers, their overall strength is not a team that can be pinched and played casually. What's more, the Raptors broke out tonight.

But, they have a warden!
Liu Xiu's hand feeling was also lost by the melee attack, and he was the one who took the initiative to fight Artest. He felt bloody bad when he hit him, but he couldn't help it. If he didn't fight the opponent, the opponent had to fight him. He can only keep up.

But he still has 'full' physical strength at the end of the quarter!
Liu Xiu, who ate a pancake, began to make crazy breakthroughs and kills after entering the field!
In normal times, rushing directly to the frontcourt of the Raptors is equivalent to lighting a lantern in the toilet.

But at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Milicic hadn't played yet, and the backup center was no longer Jermaine O'Neal, who was the top center and also a top-notch player, but uncle Chris Humphries.

This is a very good offensive interior, and the defense is not too bad.

But in the face of Liu Xiu's breakthrough, Humphries, who is prone to emotions, was driven by his teammates and brutally pressed up to defend Liu Xiu... Liu Xiu caused fouls in 4 consecutive rounds, and all of them were fouled on shooting!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Liu Xiu abruptly relied on 8 of 7 free throws to beat the Raptors 7-3!

83 to 79, the Trail Blazers regained a 4-point lead!
Not only stabilized the situation, but Liu Xiu made consecutive kills and stopped the ball, and disrupted the overall rhythm of the Raptors. Milicic was also forced to play early... Then, the second and third quarters were too aggressive. The Raptors, who are a little tired, can no longer find the offensive feeling of the past two games!
With 10 minutes left in the last quarter, the Trail Blazers only scored 18 points, but the Raptors scored even lower, only scoring 17 points!
With just a few points difference, the Raptors couldn't catch up.

23投11中，其中三分球6中2，外加13中12的罚球，刘秀拿到36分7板6助攻2抢断1盖帽，力压拿到34分11板7助攻4抢断的阿泰斯特。

101 to 96, the Trail Blazers defended the second home court without any risk, leading 2-0 with a big score!

...

The home and away games alternated. On the afternoon of the 14th, Liu Xiu came to Toronto with the team.

Liu Xiu was much happier coming here at this time. Toronto in June was still very comfortable and pleasant.

But when the league arranges for the Raptors to visit the Western Conference teams, it is always concentrated between November and February...

There are fewer people and more land, and the villa hotel where the Trail Blazers stayed even provided the minimum service.

Liu Xiu's ability in this area is not strong, only +2 level. With the help of the staff, at least he walked around the mountain, and he didn't want to ride anymore, Fei Crot.

The main thing is that after riding a lap, I was scolded by the vice president. It was written in the contract that I couldn't do the minimum, just like I couldn't ski or ride a motorcycle.

The award-winning modified locomotives on the facial paralysis side basically don't drive, and the frequency of engine start is not as good as that of the speedboat at his dock.

Liu Xiu is not greedy for fun, the most important thing now is to prepare for the next game!

G2's ability to hold on to the victory is really a credit to the preparations. During the preparations, he discussed similar situations with his teammates and coaches in the fourth quarter. In the end, the scouting director Payton's suggestion was to use brute force to rush inside and disrupt the situation. situation.

It really worked.

The two-day rest time passed quickly, and at 6 pm on June 16, Game 7 of the Finals between the Trail Blazers and the Raptors kicked off at the Air Canada Center.

The Trail Blazers are fully prepared to meet the strong offense and defense of the 'Local Snake'.

However, the Trail Blazers led 28 to 16 by 12 points in the first quarter, 23 to 15 in the second quarter, and the lead expanded to 20 points, and 30 to 25 in the third quarter, the lead expanded to 25 points.

In the final quarter, the Raptors gave the Trail Blazers a score of 28 to 20, but it only made the score a little better, which did not affect the outcome of the game.

101比84，开拓者队以17分的优势吊打猛龙队，将大比分打成3比0！

The Raptors' performance tonight was amazing!

Liu Xiu didn't play in the final quarter, and sat on the bench wondering, what about the amazingly strong and resilient Raptors in the last game?

But if you think about it deeply, you will understand.

Because you didn't win!

The Raptors almost made a comeback in the last game. It was Artest who led the team to fight, not Artest alone.

Fighting for that, winning will naturally activate the whole team.

But without winning, the confidence of the Raptors players can only fall to a deeper valley!

Another day later, on June 6, the Trail Blazers came to the Air Canada Center to challenge the Raptors again.

The Trail Blazers desire to win tonight is not weaker than the previous three games, and even worse!
Even the prison warden who often said, "Why is the opponent so ungrateful, hurry up and show me" made his teammates crazy, leading 3 to 0, with the match point in hand, he was not in the mood to think about those things. Some do not.

win!
Now he and his teammates have the same idea - to win the championship tonight!Must win!
They can't wait to win the O'Brien Cup!

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the game started.

首节比分36比25，第二节比分30比27，开拓者队势如破竹！半场领先14分！
Tonight, the main reason for the Raptors' rout was revealed -- Farmer withered.

Facing the impact of the 206th Legion of the Eagles, Milicic withstood it; facing the impact of James, Milicic also stood firm; Rebounds, defensive assistance, support, led the team to overthrow Yao Ming.

But playing against the Trail Blazers, facing the absolute dominant player in the same class, Milicic played worse and worse.

半场5投1中，只拿到5分3板1助攻！

The Trail Blazers, leading by 14 points, played even harder in the second half!
Attack hard, defend hard, the whole team plays their lives!
It's only half time, they don't want to procrastinate, they want to win the cup immediately!

Especially Grant Hill, once again became the team's defensive leader.

第三节比分28比20，末节比分25比20，下半场开拓者队又赢了13分！
Corresponding to Hill's defensive end is Liu Xiu's offense.

32投20中，被猛龙队限制住的，只有三分球，5投2中，外加10中9的罚球，刘秀狂飙55分12板6助攻3抢断2盖帽！刷新了他季后赛单场得分纪录、总决赛单场得分纪录！
加上进了4个三分球的雷-阿伦的20分、兰多夫的17分、法外狂徒的10分、希尔的5分4板4助攻3抢断1盖帽、迪奥的7分3助攻、小加索尔的3分1助攻、夸梅-布朗的2分12板6助攻3盖帽……

119 to 92, the Trail Blazers beat the Raptors by 27 points, 4 to 0, sweeping to win the championship!
After the final whistle sounded, Liu Xiu saw the scene of Hill kneeling down and crying bitterly.

It was difficult for Liu Xiu to feel the emotions of others.

But Hill, a veteran who has been reimbursed for 2000 years and 7 years since 5, and suffered constant injuries for the remaining two years, everyone feels that his contract with the Magic is over, and he is not far from retirement.

As a result, he was able to help the team win the championship as a starter, and also became a very important defensive leader, leading Liu Xiu, the first defense leader, and Kwame Brown, the best defensive player.

At this moment, Liu Xiu could really understand Hill's emotional release.

Because Liu Xiu was also very excited personally, celebrating wildly with his teammates.

After the dynasty, his desire for the championship has not diminished, but even more!

This kind of heartfelt 'coolness' at this moment is really no worse than a relationship between men and women!

Especially after winning the championship again after a lapse of a year, the feeling couldn't be more enjoyable.

It didn't take long to win the away game. David Stern and Bill Russell came to the court with the hostesses.

David Stern showed his usual smile amid the boos: "Ladies and gentlemen, the 2008-2009 season championship winning team is the Portland Trail Blazers!"

Unlike the owners of other teams, the big dog is always so handsome, and he gets to the front to receive the championship trophy.

Paul Allen and David Stern elbowed each other's waists in a sinister embrace...

Liu Xiu and his teammates took turns holding the trophy to take pictures, and then took a group photo.

Immediately afterwards, David Stern continued: "The winner of the Most Valuable Player Award in the 2008-2009 season finals is... our Representative Jess!"

4场比赛，刘秀场均41分8.5板4.75助攻2.75抢断0.75盖帽，毫无悬念地从比尔-拉塞尔手里接过了比尔-拉塞尔杯。

Cup for the 4th time!
It is also his third double MVP!

After the award ceremony, Liu Xiu was surrounded by reporters.

Liu Xiu only left a sentence in the second grade, and left in a cool way——

"Enjoy this delightful torture again! Darkness has fallen again!"
