Chapter 509 509. Multiple Benefits
McGrady and Kidd looked at Liu Xiu's data and cursed, and the Blazers players went crazy together!
After the final whistle sounded, Liu Xiu handsomely raised his right fist, but before he stretched out his index finger, he was overwhelmed by his teammates...

Few of the fans moved away, and they all stayed at the scene and shouted 'Warden' loudly.

Leading 8-0 at the start, the Nets overtook the score 52-61 at halftime. The fans at the scene were worried at the time. McGrady scored 14 points and 8 assists on 22 of 6 shots in the halftime. The fans at the scene panicked.

In the end, their warden saved their little hearts.

With 24 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists in the half, their Warden's performance in the second half was even crazier than McGrady's performance in the first half!

But the craziest thing is the 40+ triple-double!

This is the finals!
The Trail Blazers have never had a single game of 40+ in the Finals; the Trail Blazers have never had a triple-double in the Finals.

With these two statistics, even if Liu Xiu scored 72 points in the regular season, Trail Blazers fans didn't think about Liu Xiu getting 40+ or ​​a triple-double in a single game in the finals.

As a result, Liu Xiu got it together in the same game!

大屏幕上同时还列出了另一个人的数据——1969年总决赛抢七大战，杰里-韦斯特29投14中、外加18中14的罚球，拿到42分13板12助攻。

Before tonight, this was the only 40+ triple-double in the NBA Finals.

Now, this data is no longer unique!

The TV commentators headed by Charles Barkley had already started blowing wildly when Liu Xiu made a tip-up. The fans in front of the TV noticed this matter earlier than most of the players and fans at the game site.

In the final game of the regular season, Liu Xiu scored 61 points. At that time, he was said to be a statist. In the playoffs, Liu Xiu scored less than Anthony in the first round, and his performance in the second round was quite satisfactory. The Western Conference finals did not score at the critical moment... ...Before the start of the finals, the matter of scoring points in the final game of the regular season was again hyped up by some media.

The extended topic is that Liu Xiu has scored 26 times in a single game of 40+ in the regular season in the two seasons. He has played dozens of games in the playoffs, and he has only scored 1+ in a single game once. type player.

As for the Trail Blazers reaching the finals, his teammates were blown to the sky one by one before the start of the finals.

But now, all the TV commentators are raving about Liu Xiu's debut performance in the finals!
The 40+ in a single game they want is here!By the way, they also got a triple-double together!

...

That night, the media broke the news that Grizzlies general manager Jerry West submitted his resignation to the boss.

Early the next morning, a large number of media flooded into Memphis, wanting to know whether the logo man was really about to resign, and also wanted to ask the logo man about Liu Xiu also getting a 40+ triple-double in the finals, but The gate of the Grizzlies training ground is closed, and the trial training is not open to the public. The logo man refuses to meet people, and the Grizzlies press officer also avoids the resignation of the logo man.

But in the afternoon, thousands of Grizzlies fans gathered to parade outside FedEx Arena in Memphis, adding to the beauty of the American landscape.

This is just gossip news around. Of course, the fans are most concerned about the two sides in the finals.

For example, the Nets' play style in the finals has changed dramatically, and McGrady's performance in the second half was extremely poor.

When Kidd was interviewed, he first put the blame on his shoulders and maintained McGrady’s face-"It was my command that had a problem. I temporarily changed my style of play on the field and achieved some results for a while, but the response was not timely enough later. The opponent seized the opportunity."

Then he changed the subject and praised Liu Xiu—"The warden played the counterattack of my dreams. He is like a tank with the speed of a sports car. We never expected that his fast attack after losing weight can be so terrible."

Because of Kidd's praise, people's attention to Liu Xiu's first game in the finals gradually shifted from being shocked by his 40+ triple-double to his performance itself.

The media are professional, and they release news in a rhythmic manner. This is exactly the stage when they analyze Liu Xiu's performance in the first battle.

Liu Xiu played 45 minutes in the whole game, only rested for 2 minutes in the middle of the second quarter and 1 minute in the middle of the third quarter. He scored 41 points and 11 assists, of which 24 points and 7 assists were in fast break and offense and defense. Converted cohesive paragraphs are obtained.

However, the most enthusiastic discussion among the fans is Liu Xiu's figure...

The photos of Liu Xiu when he gained 99.5 kg in the early season were compared with the current photos. The difference is really big.

When Liu Xiu was interviewed, he praised his teammates all over. Randolph, who scored 26 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists, was highly praised by him.

But what Liu Xiu praised the most was the man - "I am not the biggest contributor to this game, I just did what is within my ability, the Nets were not prepared enough to defend against my counterattack, I seized the opportunity Good data is obtained, it is not worth mentioning.

You should pay attention to the performance of the glove. He played 33 minutes. Many of my counterattacks relied on his long passes. After the game, we all ridiculed him as a ruthless long pass machine.

He's still our best on the perimeter on the defensive end, he's making Kidd uncomfortable, he's done a good job of helping McGrady and Howard, he's been directing us to do the right thing, he He is the person with the most experience in the playoffs in our team. The coaches also ask his opinion when discussing tactics. If I were to choose the MVP of G1, I would choose gloves..."

When it came time to play in the finals, Payton set a new high in the playoffs this season. G1 did all the laborious but insignificant work. Liu Xiu mentioned that as the winner, Payton was also praised by the reporters. .

The heat, just passed on and passed on, to Peyton.

The media ran to interview Payton. Before the interview began, some reporters they knew were discussing who Payton would praise and which player he would transfer the heat to.

The media likes this situation very much. The more popular people are, the more things can be written.

Payton met the demands of the reporters and passed the heat back to the Nets star-"McGrady is a data brush, he only cares about himself, does he want to compete with Kidd for MVP? It's so funny, Did he think that it was him who made it to the finals? He was just a scoring leader who couldn't pass the first round."

The Nets were beaten by the Trail Blazers in the second half of G1. Some experts said it was McGrady's problem, but Kidd took the initiative to take the blame and helped McGrady cover up a fig leaf.

Peyton lifted this fig leaf and tore it up!
No one has been able to refute Payton for saying such a thing.

Active point guard, who has the highest historical status?
It's not Kidd, nor Nash who just won the MVP, it's Gary Payton, the 9th first defense, best defensive player, 9th best team, and 9th All-Star!

Payton reached the finals 9 years ago, against God, and lost 2-4 regrettably.

His words pointed the finger of public opinion at McGrady!
……

……

"Gloves, you're so bad."

"Warden, in terms of bad, I can't compare with you."

"You are so humble."

"You are so polite...hahahaha..."

"Hahaha……"

The teammates looked at the warden and the gauntlet with a smirk, and a chill came out of his vest.

These two people can't be offended!
McGrady slammed Payton just before the finals, saying that Payton was old and hugged his thighs. Payton endured it at the time, and now he seized the opportunity to directly send McGrady to the forefront. How cruel!

As for the warden, his teammates can feel his ruthlessness without doing anything.

The rest of the day passed quickly, and on June 6, the match day for the second round of the finals arrived.

After a night of fermentation, what Payton said in an interview at the end of training yesterday afternoon has become the hottest topic at present.

Journalists are now better at attacking than flattering.

Tout Liu Xiu's 40+ triple-double, the audience is the Trail Blazers fans or Liu Xiu's personal fans, at most some Luzhuan fans.

And the stats of 40+ triple-doubles are too strong, and they won the game. There is no motivation for black fans to hard black, so there is nothing to argue about.

But following Payton’s words and attacking McGrady, it’s different. McGrady has become a member of a strong team this year, and it’s not good, especially in the playoffs, whether it’s in the playoffs or not. Stars, he has almost all commented on each other under the guidance of the media. Those stars may not be offended. He has played for so many years, and he still has a lot of friends. Many people understand his personality, but the fans of those stars , was offended by McGrady!

Other fans rallied to attack, even Kidd's fans were dissatisfied with McGrady. McGrady fans are not small, but they have to challenge everyone...In a short while, they scored 39 points in the finals debut and 22 points in the half. With 6 assists, McGrady feels like he is about to be expelled from the NBA.

Payton's teammates feel really... great in this wave of operations!

The format of the finals is 2-3-2, and the first two home games must be won, otherwise they may not return to Portland.

Although the probability of losing 4 games in a row is very low, if you lose at home, it is really not impossible.

Payton is so full, how will McGrady's mentality be affected?
Will the relationship between Kidd and McGrady be affected?
It doesn't matter if there is no influence, if there is influence, you will earn!

There is no doubt that this is a positive factor for G2 tonight.

There is another thing that is also a positive factor for the Trail Blazers. Randolph has made a decision-to give up sneaking for FMVP.

Randolph wanted to compete for FMVP and didn't tell others. Of course, no one knew about him giving up. But this is one less potential risk factor for the Trail Blazers, which is equal to a positive factor, but no one knows about them It also almost encountered the dangerous situation of the Nets in G1.

Randolph made this decision easily, Liu Xiu's G1 was too aggressive!
It was written in the news that if the Trail Blazers finally win the finals, even with this 40+ triple-double, Liu Xiu has a more than half chance of winning the FMVP.

Randolph's idea is very simple, if he falls behind so much at the beginning, then give up and fight for the championship.

For the matter of FMVP, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, and this time is not bad... not just this time!
In today's preparation training, the teammates felt that Randolph was particularly relaxed and in a very good mood. The situation was originally good, and the teammates trained with Randolph's enthusiasm even more.

A day of preparation time passed quickly, and the Trail Blazers ushered in the second game of the Finals against the Nets at home.
