Chapter 704 704. The 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 at 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 started.

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 round of rotation, Rahim 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 4 of 8 shots and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 11 points in a single quarter. The Lakers scored 29 points in a single quarter.

In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers dominated the entire process and easily scored 32 to 23. Halftime At the end of the game, the Lakers led the Lakers by 12 points 64 to 52!

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 6 points 81 to 75, maintaining a relatively safe point difference.

After the tormented third quarter, the Trail Blazers once again took the initiative in the last quarter.

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

In the end, relying on Liu Xiu’s 17 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals, Ray Allen’s 26 points and 4 assists, Randolph’s 17 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists, Raheem’s 18 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists… the Blazers The team steadily defeated the Lakers 109 to 100 and scored a big score of 2 to 0!

…

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

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

But where the Trail Blazers stayed this time, Paul Allen arranged for it to be 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 training hall 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 doesn’t know how to describe it.

In these years, in the real estate market, you 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—Most Improved Player.

Suns all-round fighter Boris Diaw won the award, Liu Xiu didn’t think there was any problem.

However, his warden ranks second with 17% of the first choice rate and 23% of the scoring!

He remembers 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 to 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 when he heard the words: “Isn’t this what the warden said in the interview with the imperial court?”

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 8 pm on April 28th, the Trail Blazers with a 2-0 lead and the Lakers back at home 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 Trail Blazers took the initiative against the guest and led the Lakers by 3 points 20-17 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!

And Kobe scored 15 points alone in this quarter, 5 of 9 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, plus 4 of 4 free throws!

Under the leadership of Kobe, the Lakers scored 26 points in a single quarter and entered the intermission with 43 to 39 overtaking the Trail Blazers by 4 points.

Scoring 25 points in 7 of 15 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…
