Healing Basketball

Chapter 235.
"Bryant said that you just took advantage of the division of the Player of the Week Award into the East and West, otherwise you would not have won the Player of the Week Award so many times. He did not agree with the statement that you surpassed David Robinson's rookie season performance."

"David Robinson is one of the best players in NBA history. It's my honor to be discussed with him. I'm just curious. How many times did Kobe win the Player of the Week in his rookie season?"

"Kobe Bryant didn't win Player of the Week in his rookie season."

"So that's it, he's jealous! He may not have won the best of the week four times in one season after playing for so many years, and he feels unbalanced."

“布莱恩特上个赛季拿到过5次周最佳球员奖，与邓肯在上赛季的5次周最佳球员奖并列历史第二，历史最高是01-02赛季邓肯6次。”

"...Take what I said just now as if I didn't say it, the next question."

...

On the day Liu Xiu won the player of the week award for the fourth time, the Lakers arrived in Portland in the afternoon.

Kobe and Liu Xiu have been at loggerheads, so the media naturally found Kobe to ask.

Kobe's answer was not surprising, but the next interview with Liu Xiu... the warden pretended to be overturned!
When this interview clip was reported, some people laughed at it, but some people thought that Liu Xiu was more interesting than expected.

The purpose of these interviews is to create highlights for the next game between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers.

At present, the top three in the West seem to be the Timberwolves, Spurs, and Trail Blazers. There are 3-4 games left for each team. The Trail Blazers are currently third in the West with 56 wins and 22 losses. With the team 54 wins and 24 losses, the Lakers seem to have no hope.

but!

When I first entered April, I saw that the top five in the Western Conference still had 4-8 games left. At that time, the fifth-ranked Lakers had a record of 10 wins and 51 losses. It seemed that the top five could win 21 games. Look, but the Lakers recently 60 wins and 3 losses.

现在57胜21负的马刺队要拿60胜都难、国王队54胜25负已被湖人队反超。

As for the Trail Blazers, which is currently still in third place in the Western Conference, they have really become the big dark horse in people's minds, and this is why Liu Xiu's performance is becoming more and more recognized.

At the end of the season, there were many strong matchups. Between you winning and losing, each team's record at the end of the season was not good. It's really hard to say that the Lakers finally rushed to the No. [-] in the Western Conference.

But the more so, the happier the alliance is!
Looking at the East, yesterday the Pacers won their 60th game of the season, improving their record to 60 wins and 19 losses, leading the league.

But not much is discussed about them.

Because the Pistons, which ranked second and third in the East, only had 49 wins and 29 losses; the Nets, which ranked third and second in the Eastern Conference, only had 45 wins and 33 losses.

The Pacers are far ahead, there is no suspense.

这赛季尾声，东部那边，还不及上赛季No.1到No.5战绩分别是50胜、49胜、48胜、48胜、47胜时竞争激烈的时候受关注。

We all know that the Pacers are strong, and we all want to see what the Pacers will do in the playoffs.

But the end of the Pacers' season was really uneventful, and no one discussed Artest's best of the week.

Controversy, suspense... these are more attractive!

……

……

On the 10th and 11th, they played back-to-back. Thanks to the back-to-back second game back home, the Trail Blazers players were able to take a good rest at home on the 12th.

It was just a certain energetic rookie who did not want to be named ran to receive the trophy, accept interviews, and pretended to fail...

On April 4, the Trail Blazers' penultimate game day of the season arrived.

At 7:10 p.m., the Lakers and Trail Blazers entered the court successively.

There were a lot of 'uninvited guests' at the scene, but no one could drive them away. They paid for tickets to come in--Public Enemy Lakers fans of all teams!

When entering the arena, Liu Xiu saw some Lakers fans booing him at the top of their lungs. These people occupied hundreds of seats directly opposite the technical stage.

Liu Xiu admired and complained: "The Lakers fans really have courage. There are 1 people around, aren't they afraid of being beaten?"

Little Flying Squirrel responded: "He is a fan of the noble team, and he is confident that one can defeat a hundred. They have already fought once this year, and they are still very heroic."

"Oh? What's going on? Tell me!" The warden's spirit of gossip burned.

"At the end of the season, when the Lakers play away games, the fans of the nobles will go to various away games to cheer. They went to Memphis to play a game for two days and won. The noble fans celebrated on the spot and fought with the farmers over there..."

Standing idle, Liu Xiu looked at the detection report of the players on the opposite side.

"Kobe Bryant, 25 years old... 98 ability rating, 96 offense, 98 defense...

Shaq O'Neal, 32 years old, 216 cm, 144 kg, C, ability rating 99, offense 100, defense 92..."

Liu Xiu is already numb, losing weight can soar to the second highest ability evaluation in the league, higher than Kobe and Garnett who work hard every night on both ends of the offense and defense...

He felt sorry for the little blacksmith opposite... Oh?

Liu Xiu suddenly received a series of reminders to cure Kobe, which is still very violent!

Looking up, the big screen had just switched content, but he still caught sight of the content-his 4 best-of-the-week performances this season, as well as highlight moments.

Sure enough, the little blacksmith was jealous!
But it's been a while since this was posted?The fans were screaming for a while.

The reflex arc of the little blacksmith is indeed a bit longer than that of ordinary people...

The strength of the OK combination put Liu Xiu under great pressure.

The other two giants of the Lakers...

"Gary Payton, 35 years old...ability rating 77...

Karl Malone, 40 years old...ability rating 83..."

Karl Malone was dragged down by injuries, and has missed 39 games in total, but his strength is still there. In the game against the Spurs not long ago, Malone scored 10 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, becoming a triple-double in NBA history. Oldest player.

Payton's decline is serious. You may rarely use some skills, but you can't do without them. Payton's performance at the edge of a first-class star at the beginning of the season is because he can complete the basic work of the team's arrangement. Occasionally, you can rely on your personal ability to do things that can help the team beyond the requirements.

But those extra things are rare after all, and those related skills are naturally rare. In addition to his age, over time, he really degenerates.

After the full weekend, Payton averaged 8.6 points and 4.5 assists per game, and his offensive efficiency declined severely. However, his 84 defense is still very good.

……

"The Great Mage: Game Status.

Copy objects:

Teammate: Zach Randolph...

Opponent: Kobe Bryant, because the host has the buff: Mamba players, the host can additionally copy Kobe Bryant's characteristic conversion talent once.

Feature conversion talent 1: stamina gallop, feature conversion talent 2: center booster. "

"Physical stamina: Whenever the host has an obvious decline in physical strength, you can pick up the collar of the jersey, and the physical strength will quickly recover to the extent that it will not affect the host's performance of technical actions; every time the host completes a round of attack or defense, you can pick up the collar of the jersey. The jersey collar, the physical impact of just attacking or defending will fade quickly, and the mind will be calmer."

"Center Booster: When inside teammates receive a pass from the host, there is a certain probability that they will enter a hot state, and there is a certain probability that it will be easier to find the rhythm of the shot or pass... (Note: The probability is subject to the match between the inside line and the host's play Speed, tacit understanding, strength of inside players... and other factors.)”

The game is about to start, and Liu Xiu puts on the chalk and finishes copying her talents and walks onto the court.

Trail Blazers starters: Liu Xiu, Ruben Patterson, Miles, Randolph, Dale Davis.

Lakers starters: Payton, Kobe, Rick Fox, Malone, O'Neal.

When Kobe came on the court, he saw the hot eyes of the interesting rookie on the opposite side.

He felt the excitement... and desire in the rookie's eyes?

He also felt a little excited, and he also became the object of the challenge of the rookies, just like he tried to challenge Jordan when he first entered the NBA.

Liu Xiu's eyes... naturally because of the two talents copied from Kobe!

At 7:30 p.m., O'Neal beat Dale Davis for the jump ball and the Lakers went first.

Payton advances to the frontcourt to pass the ball to Malone, then pulls out to the wing.

Malone lobbed the ball to O'Neal, and Dale Davis struggled to fight against O'Neal... Unable to bear it, O'Neal caught the ball and took one step, forced Dale Davis, and smashed the ball into the basket through Dale Davis.

O'Neal's time from receiving the ball to dunking was so short that the technical station regarded Malone's lob as an assist!

Compared with the previous few fights, the feeling has completely changed!
Playoff Sharks!

Offensive and defensive transition, Liu Xiu attacked with the ball, and the Lakers defended him tightly!

Unlike the team that judged Liu Xiu based on experience at first, the Lakers treat Liu Xiu as a giant player now!

Liu Xiu moved forward + Miles took the initiative to cover, failed to get rid of the defense, and was cut off by the Lakers' defense.

Liu Xiu took the initiative to make a decisive decision, and took the initiative to stick to Kobe who was defending, turned around, and made a mid-range shot...

With a height difference of about 10 centimeters, Liu Xiu hit Kobe with a turnaround jumper. This choice, apart from the picturesque turnaround jumper, really has nothing else to praise.

If it weren't for the back hit, with Kobe's height + wingspan + bounce, the ball would be capped.

but!

This one step away from the free throw line scored two points!
Liu Xiu's own eyes widened. He just made a decisive move based on the team's arrangement, but he didn't expect to get in!I just felt that it felt good to shoot, it was not an illusion!

When it was the Lakers' turn to attack, Payton passed the ball to Rick Fox and made a turnover!
Miles rushed to the grab and pushed himself forward to counterattack.

At this time, we have to talk about Kobe's speed. Myers counterattacked from the top arc, and Kobe caught up with the left elbow, and he caught up.

But Miles noticed Kobe, and he chose to split the ball... Liu Xiu, who followed up from the flank, caught the ball at a 30-degree angle on the right and made a mid-range shot... hit it again!
The Trail Blazers overtook the score and led 4-2!
