Healing Basketball

Chapter 503 503. Steady Victory!
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers ushered in a challenge from the Spurs at home amid the fanatical cheers from the fans in the Rose Garden Arena.

Like the Trail Blazers players, the fans had already strengthened their belief when they played from 1 to 1 to 3 to 1. Even if they were chased to 3 to 3, they would feel annoyed, egg pain...all kinds of negative emotions, But it will not shake their confidence in their own team!

面对连赢两场来势汹汹的马刺队，开拓者队上来就给了对方一个下马威，首节兰多夫5投2中外加2中2的罚球单节拿到6分5板，5板中的其中3板是进攻篮板球！
在兰多夫和夸梅-布朗、刘秀单节合力拿下7个篮板球的疯狂冲击下，法外狂徒4投2中拿到4分，但最重要的是替补登场的小飞鼠！他在首节打了7分钟，5投3中，其中三分球2中1，加上4中3的罚球，单节狂飙10分。

The Trail Blazers performed well on both offense and defense in the first quarter, leading the Spurs 26 to 23 by 3 points to end the first quarter.

TNT sports live broadcast, during the intermission, Barkley asked his partner: "Kenny, is there something different about the Trail Blazers tonight?"

"Yes, they took the lead in the first quarter."

"Oh, leak! Kenny, you are too insensitive, no wonder I can get an annual salary of 300 million, and you are only 120 million."

"...but I have two championship rings."

"Mare Facco! I'm discussing professionalism with you! Who is discussing the championship with you..."

Kenny - Smith did not see what's wrong?of course not.

Anyone who watched the previous games would have noticed the difference in the Trail Blazers tonight—it wasn't because Liu Xiu took the lead!

The Trail Blazers won the previous 3 games, each of which was based on Liu Xiu's point.

In G1, Liu Xiu's 29 seconds and 5 minutes were relied on, and the others were only responsible for biting the score.

In G3, relying on Liu Xiu's threat at critical moments, they relied on defense to win the game.

G4，又是靠刘秀31秒5分，以及加时赛6投3中外加3中3的罚球拿到9分1助攻。

Every victory must rely on Liu Xiu and operate around Liu Xiu's performance at critical moments.

Good luck for Popovich's utterly unabashed sourness in his post-G4 press conference.

To this, the head coach of the Trail Blazers team responded positively-"I am just lucky, and I have a warden to reward me with food."

Tonight, in the first quarter, Liu Xiu made 4 of 1 shots and scored 2 points and 3 rebounds. Although there were two offensive rebounds, none of them were converted into points, but the Trail Blazers still took the lead!

Finally, after 6 games, Liu Xiu ushered in a night when his teammates were in full swing!

而连C两场的邓肯，今晚首节没绷得住，4投1中只拿到2分2板1助攻！

The Spurs made 23 of 8 shots in the first quarter!
Such an opening momentum, the Trail Blazers continued!
到了第二节，兰多夫7投4中，外加3中3的罚球单节拿到11分3板1助攻，带队再度单节拿到26分。

At the same time, the Trail Blazers limited the Spurs to 22 points in a single quarter, 1 point lower than the first quarter!
After halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Spurs 52 to 45 by 7 points!
In the third quarter, Liu Xiu, who made 7 of 2 shots in the first half and was led halftime by his teammates, was milked by his teammates to take off.

The Spurs performed unfavorably in the first quarter, and Popovich continued to play steadily in the second quarter. Unlike the Trail Blazers who won the 3 games by relying on strange tricks, the Spurs won 3 games with steady play, but the midfielder I couldn't bear to come back from rest.

The Butcher had 17 points in the half, and the Flying Mouse had 15 points in the half. At this time, the warden who was 7 of 2 in the half was strictly guarded... Popovich chose to focus on the Butcher and the Flying Squirrel.

Therefore, Liu Xiu continued to receive shooting opportunities from the middle distance. He made 7 of 5 shots, including 6 of 4 mid-range shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. Festival Hurricane 13 points!
加上小飞鼠不讲道理的6投4中拿到10分、拉希姆接过兰多夫进攻大旗单节拿到9分……开拓者队在第三节得分的人不多，就5名球员有得分，夸梅-布朗和兰多夫还各只有两分。

But the combined scores of Liu Xiu, Little Flying Squirrel, and Raheem are already 10 points higher than the Spurs in a single quarter!
36 to 22, the Trail Blazers beat the Spurs by 14 points in a single quarter!
Whenever there is a desperate situation, Yaodao can always stand up, and tonight is also the case. In the third quarter, when the rest of the Spurs were not shooting well, Ginobili scored 7 points on 4 of 11 shots in a single quarter, and performed very well. , but I can't stand it, there are 3 performances similar to him on the opposite side!
As the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands, but Yao Dao faces six hands!

After three quarters, the Trail Blazers led the Spurs 88 to 67 by 21 points and entered the final quarter!
...

从7投2中28.6%的命中率打到14投7中50%的命中率，今晚这场比赛刘秀打得太舒服了。

In every game, he can feel his progress in game experience, and at the same time feel the progress of his teammates in many aspects.

Tonight, those improvements came to a head, and they played their best game since entering the playoffs this year!
While steadily limiting the Spurs' scoring to the average level of this series, their own offensive end seized the opponent's pain points and made a critical strike-all kinds of mid-range shots!

The Trail Blazers broke out in mid-range shooting tonight. The Spurs are still stable and still unable to deal with the opponent's outbreak. The situation is the same as they have always been. When they do not suppress the opponent, it will be very difficult. They don't have the ability to chase such a big difference!
凶猛了三节的开拓者队末节表现回归平常，被马刺队防得单节只拿到19分，还是被队友们奶起来的刘秀6投3中拿到6分2助攻1抢断带起来的。

But even if the Spurs defended the Trail Blazers to 19 points in the final quarter, and they scored 28 points themselves, and beat the Trail Blazers by 9 points in a single quarter, they could not make up for the huge point difference in the first three quarters.

At 10:22 in the evening, the final whistle sounded, and the Rose Garden Arena became a sea of ​​joy.

Won!

Finally won!

靠着兰多夫暴走的21投12中拿到31分16板、小飞鼠17投10中拿到26分3助攻、刘秀愣是从7中2被奶到了20中10拿到26分8板6助攻……开拓者队在抢七大战中以107比95大胜马刺队，大比分4比3淘汰马刺队，挺进总决赛！
The results of the Trail Blazers team in 2000 have been surpassed by the current team!The moment when the final whistle sounded, in the eyes of the Trail Blazers fans, it really opened a new chapter in their team history!

The Trail Blazers players were even more overjoyed, and many players even cried.

Little Flying Mouse seemed to burst into tears, holding Liu Xiu's arm and kept saying, "It's not easy..."

Liu Xiu didn't expect that the one who cried the most was Little Flying Squirrel.

But Little Flying Squirrel can cry as long as he cries, the 'it's not easy' he muttered makes Liu Xiu want to slap him with earwax and kick him twice.

Liu Xiu was not surprised by the reaction of his teammates.

In the first two home games, without his warden’s 29-point comeback in 5 seconds, they would have started 0-2, then rushed to 3-1, and were tied again... It is true that they have gained a lot physically and mentally in this series Butcher, outlaws, McDyess, Raheem...and his warden and a bunch of players with little experience in the playoffs have all been baptized in this Western Conference Finals.

They have also honed their tenacious beliefs in this series and have an indomitable mental outlook.

But the pressure has always been there, but they relied on various motivations to withstand the pressure.

When they won the Western Conference finals, all the pressure was released, and they couldn't help crying, which was normal.

Lu Xun once said: It is not a crime for a man to cry...

In the post-match interview, Liu Xiu said to the camera: "This is a victory for the team. Each of us has made his own contribution. Everyone is a part of the team... I won 3 games with my performance? No , I don’t think so, yes, I performed very well at critical moments, but it depends on my teammates to bite the score. We have a clear division of labor. Without our collective performance, I would not have my key opportunities. At that time, it was just throwing the ball in and winning the game..."

After the celebrations and postgame interviews, NBA Vice President Joke came to the court to present the Western Conference championship trophy to the Trail Blazers.

Pushed to the front by his teammates, Liu Xiu did not refuse, and took the division championship trophy from the joke.

When he lifted the trophy amidst the wild cheers of the fans, the system prompt came!

"The host led the team to stop Tim Duncan, the king-level player of this era, from the finals, and started Tim Duncan's exclusive series of missions: the future.

Future Quest: I'm Watching You has been triggered.

Goal: Initiate a career challenge to Tim Duncan, who is watching the host!
Reward: 5000 healing value. "

Career challenge?A career challenge to a player who only entered the NBA at the age of 21 and has played for 8 years?There seems to be nothing wrong with this. Liu Xiu remembers a statistic in the future. Duncan said to James in 2007 that "the future is yours." As a result, 2007% of the rookies in 60 retired earlier than Duncan.

Eh, no!

Liu Xiu looked around, his actions attracted everyone's attention.

When Liu Xiu turned his gaze to the rear, the teammates who found that Liu Xiu seemed to be looking for something consciously stepped aside.

Sure enough, Liu Xiu saw that man!
There is a facial paralysis secretly sitting on the technical table and watching him as the warden!

Following Liu Xiu's line of sight, the others were also surprised to find that Duncan was actually hiding here.

Liu Xiu walked towards the technical platform, and Duncan also stood up when he saw this.

The live camera and the big screen at the scene immediately gave a panoramic view of the two, and the staff pushed the radio to the two of them in a tacit understanding.

Under everyone's gaze, the two looked at each other for more than ten seconds, and finally, someone spoke!

Liu Xiu said to Duncan: "A new era has come, are you ready to be ruthlessly crushed by the wheels of history?"

Duncan laughed when he heard the words, so warm and innocent that the referee who stayed on the scene after the game couldn't help blowing his whistle...
