Healing Basketball

Chapter 709 709. The Crushing Trend!

The last best defensive lineup announced.

For a while, Kidd, Kobe, Artest, Kirilenko, Bowen, Ben Wallace, and Duncan were selected together.

Like the best team, Ben Wallace was placed at the forward position and Duncan was placed at the center position.

Among them, Artest, Kirilenko, and Bowen had the same vote. Stu Jackson specifically explained this situation. The three had the same vote, and the four were selected as forwards. It is still the first time since the establishment of the best defensive team one time.

The second team was selected by Billups, Liu Xiu, Garnett, Kwame Brown and Camby.

Selected for the second defense!

This is a real surprise for Liu Xiu!

He didn't think about it. He felt that Prince and Wade were better than him on the defensive end. Among the votes for the best defensive player voted by the media, he only got 1 vote. Both of them made it into the top ten.

The best defensive team selected by the coaches, he didn't expect to be selected!

Hearing the congratulations from his teammates, he thought to himself, maybe his defense is better than he thought, and his defensive effect on the court is higher than he thought!
Compared to Liu Xiu's calmness, Kwame Brown burst into tears and called his mother and younger siblings crying.

In the end, I sent a message to Jordan, and Randolph peeked at the content from the side-I was selected for the second defense, and the warden is much better than you!

Liu Xiu scolded the street on the spot after learning the content of Kwame Brown's text message to Jordan from Randolph.

But then he smiled, offending Boss Joe, offend him. After Boss Joe really becomes the boss, his warden said that he would consider the Bobcats. This Jordan is definitely more enthusiastic than Cuban chasing Jordan...

Two best teams, two best defensive teams, plus MVP, best coach, and best sixth man, just as the media advocated after the Trail Blazers won 70 wins, the Trail Blazers became a regular season team. Biggest winner!

If you don't get 70 wins, it may be very different, because 69 wins cannot open a qualitative gap with the 67-win Pistons, but 70 wins are different. 70 wins and 69 wins are two teams in people's eyes. Completely different teams.

晚上7点56分，靠着阿泰斯特的20分7板3助攻2抢断2盖帽、杰梅因-奥尼尔的15分9板、天尊的13分8板3助攻3盖帽、莫布里的12分3助攻……

The Pacers beat the Cavaliers 79 to 61 and won the tiebreaker!

詹姆斯今晚16投4中拿到14分7板7助攻，被直播这场比赛的解说员巴克利骂惨了，因为今晚骑士队一共就9次助攻。

The Pacers defeated the Cavaliers 4-3 and joined the Pistons in the second round. The first round of the playoffs this season is all over.

After 4 minutes, at 8 pm, the second round of relay began, and the Trail Blazers vs. Clippers game started.

Liu Xiu copied Little Flying Squirrel's 'Flying Squirrel' and Maggette's 'Overwhelming'.

'Flying Squirrel', counterattack speed +3, combined with the bonus of 'Overwhelming' when attacking the frame +3 strength, layup +3, bounce +3, every time Liu Xiu plays the Clippers, just copy these two people, It's cool to rush up.

After the start of the game, the Trail Blazers' slow heat was obvious, and the Clippers, who had just finished the game, played very excitedly and energetically. They beat the Trail Blazers 31 to 22 in the first quarter.

The Clippers turned away, leading the Trail Blazers by 9 points and entering the second quarter.

In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers responded and returned the Clippers 31 to 21. At halftime, they overtook the Clippers by 53 to 52 by 1 point, earning face back.

But the game was not as smooth as the Trail Blazers players had imagined. The response in the second quarter failed to defeat the Clippers.

第三节卡塞尔单节8分4助攻，率队打出了26比23的单节比分，三节打完时率队以78比76反超开拓者队2分！
Kassel is a real headache when Liu Xiu fights against him.

Liu Xiu felt that Cassel was not on the same line as the others, and the pace was as slow as death, but he suddenly shot a sniper, shot the ball suddenly, and was extremely fast. He could guess what Cassel wanted to do, but he just couldn't stop it.

However, although the Clippers are strong, they still lack something-superstars.

It can be offensive, like Kobe, or defensive, like Garnett, the Clippers have neither.

And the Trail Blazers have!
刘秀末节靠着高位单打、反击得分、跑位接球投篮……单节11投5中，其中三分球3中1，外加2中2的罚球狂飙13分3助攻，率队单节拿到23分。

And in this quarter, the Trail Blazers focused on defense, fighting hand-to-hand with the Clippers, and abruptly limited the Clippers to 16 points!
In the last 4 minutes of the game, the Clippers only relied on free throws to score 2 points, and watched Liu Xiu score again and again to overtake the score and widen the point difference.

最终，靠着刘秀的31分8板5助攻4抢断、兰多夫的15分13板、雷-阿伦的19分3助攻、夸梅-布朗的8分7板3盖帽、法外狂徒的10分6板……开拓者队以99比94击败快船队，拿下今年第二轮首胜！
...

"Two teams in L.A. combined, could be our opponent."

This sentence was said by Liu Xiu in an interview after defeating the Clippers for the first time in the series. He didn't expect it to become popular!
ESPN actually made a program on this topic, and asked a group of experts to discuss it...

ESPN, which has always been happy with the Black Lakers and black Kobe, has a very high evaluation of Kobe this time.

They presented data, built models, and speculated that if the Lakers did not have Kobe, their strength would probably be at the same level as the Timberwolves, Hornets, Bobcats, and Knicks; The basic team, plus Kobe, is expected to become a historically strong team with more than 65 wins like the Trail Blazers and Pistons.

As soon as this speculation was made, not everyone recognized it, but it was controversial.

At this time, the Clippers fans rarely stood together with the Lakers fans...

Not being widely recognized is not being recognized, the heat is there!

Seeing this development, Liu Xiu couldn't help sighing that ESPN is still good at the whole job.

After a day's rest, at 5 pm on May 8, the Trail Blazers ushered in the second game of the series against the Clippers at home.

After G1, the Trail Blazers confirmed the strength and weaknesses of the Clippers.

The strength of the Clippers lies in the point guard's ability to control the field, Maggette's impact, and Brand's low post play.

Cassel's ability to control the field can't be solved, mainly because of his good brain.

But Maggette's impact and Brand's back-up, they can deal with the Trail Blazers!And good at dealing with it!

有了G1的经验，开拓者队G2打得非常顺利，2小时25分钟的比赛后，在刘秀的21分11板4助攻2抢断的带领下，开拓者队以98比87稳稳的击败快船队，大比分打成2比0！
