Healing Basketball

Chapter 704. 704. Opponent's Upper Limit

Won the best sixth man for the third consecutive year!

At 7:40 in the evening, Raheem raised the best sixth man trophy in the Rose Garden Arena, and all the fans on the scene were chanting "bishop" frantically.

A team has won the best sixth man for three consecutive years. For the first time in NBA history, changing players have won consecutive awards. Even if there is a substitute in the future, it can win the best sixth man for three consecutive years. It is not as different as the Trail Blazers .

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the second game of the series between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers began.

In the starting stage, Ray Allen was excited when he saw Kobe, and provided strong outside fire support for Liu Xiu and Randolph. The Trail Blazers played a fierce attack at the beginning.

After the first wave of rotation, Raheem came off the bench and scored 6 points and 1 assist in half a quarter, continuing the strength of the starting lineup.

The Lakers still played very well in the first quarter, with strong offensive firepower. Kobe made 8 of 4 shots and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 11 points in a single quarter. The Lakers scored 29 points in a single quarter.

But the Trail Blazers were better.

开拓者队靠着刘秀的5分3助攻、雷-阿伦的9分、拉希姆的6分1助攻……单节拿到32分！
32 to 29, the Trail Blazers led the Lakers by 3 points and entered the second quarter.

In the first quarter of the Lakers' Princeton bombardment, the Trail Blazers, who had always been slow in the first quarter, were able to overwhelm the Lakers. In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers dominated the whole process and easily scored 32-23. At the end of the game, the Lakers led the Lakers by 64 points 52 to 12!
The regular season is okay, but in the playoffs, Juan Dixon, Derek Anderson, Brian Cook, Mihm and others are really useless!

Before the start of G1, Liu Xiu commented that the Lakers are a team with only 6 players playing and 6 players holding back. He was indeed right.

Throughout the second quarter, Kobe scored 7 points, and Odom, Wang Zhizhi, and Butler each played for about 9 minutes, adding up to 12 points. The number of shots taken by the three accounted for only half of the number of shots taken by the Lakers in the second quarter. , others use the same number of shots to get 4 points.

However, in the third quarter, the Lakers' defense still played out, preventing the Trail Blazers from scoring only 17 points in a single quarter. Fortunately, the Trail Blazers did a good job defensively, and the Lakers still only scored 23 points in the third quarter. At the end of the three quarters, the Trail Blazers led the Lakers by 81 points 75 to 6, maintaining a relatively safe point difference.

After the torturous third quarter, the Trail Blazers once again took the initiative in the final quarter.

Liu Xiu scored 7 points in a single quarter, Ray Allen scored two three-pointers, Raheem came off the bench and scored 5 points with 3 of 2 shots and 2 of 8 free throws, Randolph, Kwame Brown, McDyess The three played alternately and scored 11 rebounds, dominating both offense and defense...

28 to 25, the Trail Blazers held the victory quite easily in the fourth quarter.

最终，靠着刘秀的17分9板6助攻3抢断、雷-阿伦的26分4助攻、兰多夫的17分10板2助攻、拉希姆的18分5板2助攻……开拓者队以109比100稳稳击败湖人队，将大比分打成2比0！

科比打了46分钟，25投12中，其中三分球7中3，加上14中12的罚球，拿到39分7板6助攻2抢断1盖帽，又一次C到飞起，又一次进入空砍群……

...

The next afternoon, the Trail Blazers team came to Los Angeles.

Liu Xiu did not join the team this time. He set off with his family in the morning and arrived in Los Angeles first.

But the place where the Trail Blazers stayed this time, arranged by Paul Allen, was a villa hotel in Beverly Hills.

When Liu Xiu asked the Lakers for a ticket, the Lakers happily gave it to him, which made him feel honored and depressed at the same time.

None of these opponents refused to vote.

Another day passed, and it was the second rest day between the home and away games of the first four games. The Trail Blazers did not go to the Toyota Center for training. Paul Allen bought a private indoor court near the hotel.

Liu Xiu heard that Paul Allen originally wanted to rent, but the other party claimed to be a Lakers fan and would not rent it to the enemy. After Paul Allen learned of this, he bought the arena at the market price and paid in full, and the other party immediately agreed. Clean up the whole place before closing.

Apart from scolding capitalism for corruption, Liu Xiu didn't know how to describe it.

These days, in the real estate market, they actually paid the full market price to buy an indoor arena, just to win?

Well, he also felt that this reason was sufficient for Paul Allen.

This morning the league announced another individual award - the Most Improved Player.

The all-rounder Boris Diaw of the Suns won the award, and Liu Xiu didn't think there was any problem.

However, his Warden ranks second with a 17% first-choice rate and 23% scoring!
He remembered that he also ranked second in the Most Improved Award last year...

However, the gap in the number of votes this time is not as small as last year. Dior's first choice rate reached 66.7%, and the score accounted for 43%.

Although Liu Xiu didn't want to win this award and felt that there was something wrong with this award, she was still a little bit unwilling to be second for two consecutive years.

Who would think too many prizes...

Compared with the inexplicable worry about gains and losses after G1, the Trail Blazers team is very stable and peaceful in preparation for this game.

After the training, the vice president said to the coach: "The Lakers are very strong. They have the ability to overcome and overcome. Maybe the Spurs, Suns, and Mavericks will be crazy when they meet the Lakers, but we are different from them. Our normal The level has already reached the limit of the Lakers!"

The coach complained after hearing the words: "Isn't this what the warden said in the interview with the imperial court in the morning?"

The vice president was full of pride and was very angry. He chased the coach to beat him up, but the coach was well prepared and ran fast... Seeing that the two were fighting again, the staff laughed and said that the two bosses were really childlike.

The staff who have experienced the era of the real-prison team, seeing this scene, really feel very warm.

...

At 4 o'clock in the evening on April 28, the Blazers with a 8-2 lead and the Lakers who returned to their home court started the third game of the series.

After the start of the game, the Lakers took the lead in launching a defensive battle, and the Trail Blazers decisively followed up. In the first quarter, the Blazers took the initiative and led the Lakers 20 to 17 by 3 points to end the first quarter.

But in the second quarter, the Lakers began to take the initiative!
This quarter of the game reminded the Trail Blazers of the third quarter of the previous game. They were prevented from scoring only 19 points in a single quarter!
而科比这节比赛一个人都拿到了15分，9投5中，其中三分球2中1，外加4中4的罚球！
Under the leadership of Kobe, the Lakers scored 26 points in a single quarter, leading the Trail Blazers 43 to 39 and entering the intermission by 4 points.

After scoring 15 points in 7 of 25 in the half, Liu Xiu looked at Kobe's data and guessed that this guy must have seen the screen of his interview yesterday.

It's really cool for a while...
